Chapter 40 5. If it is said that the country of China will die, except for the people in Hunan who will die

The next day, both Yang Jun and Dai Yi left Yokohama to return to school.Yang Du didn't go back to Tokyo. On the one hand, he wanted to send Zhifan and others back to China, and on the other hand, he wanted to talk more with Cai E.There is another important reason. He wants to turn the idea that suddenly sprouted in Zongji Temple yesterday into reality, and write an article "The Story of Hunan Youth", and he will write it in Yokohama. After writing, please ask Liang Qichao and Cai E to read and give comments . Yang Du has always been quick-witted.Normally, he would work during the day and light an oil lamp at night. Under the dim light, he would write four to five thousand words in one night.Take off your clothes and go to bed at five o'clock, sleep for an hour or two, read it after getting up, and make a few revisions, and it will be a very good article.This time, he is going to write a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation to encourage Hunan people, especially Hunan students studying in Japan.At the same time, he wanted to show the weight of Sanxiang disciples again with his own talent, and secretly wanted to compare himself with others. He admired and was a little bit dissatisfied with this talented Cantonese talent beside him.

There were many people coming and going in Liang Qichao's house, so it was not very quiet. It happened that a single friend not far away was going to Tokyo for three days. I don’t care if it’s overdue.” This is a courtyard built on a small hill. There are two living rooms, three bedrooms, a dining room, kitchen, miscellaneous room, bathroom, and a dozen houses of various sizes.The living room is sumptuously furnished, and the bedroom extravagantly decorated.There are ponds, rockery, flowers and trees, and winding paths in the spacious yard. During the day, you can look at the rippling boundless sea water, and at night, you can lie down and listen to the rhythmic waves lapping on the shore.Yang Du has never lived in such a nice house, never enjoyed such a nice environment, his mood is exceptionally comfortable, and his talent seems to be more abundant than usual.He just took up the pen and wrote the five words of "Young Hunan Talk", when Liang Qichao's words came to mind involuntarily, so he closed his eyes and recited it silently.The article was relatively long, and he couldn't recite it word by word. After reciting a few paragraphs intermittently, the pride in his heart was aroused by the article, and he couldn't control himself.He has always memorized the last paragraph by heart:

"Liang Zhuoru is really not simple!" Yang Du admired sincerely, thinking to himself, not to mention the fiery emotions and majestic literary spirit, just in terms of conception, "China" is taller than "Hunan". It is very difficult to surpass Liang Qichao's article in a treatise.If you want to surpass, you must find another way. "By the way!" Yang Du slapped his forehead suddenly, and said in his heart, "He wrote a commentary, so I'll write a song! The song is catchy and easy to memorize. It must spread more widely and have a greater impact. One piece, one piece of "Pipa Xing", from the Tang Dynasty to today, how many people have been infected? There is no other treatise that can surpass it!"

Thinking of this, Yang Du became extremely excited, and swiped his pen to rewrite a title: Hunan Youth Song. The first few sentences, without thinking, he wrote in one breath: He stopped writing, read it aloud himself, and thought the beginning was okay.What to write next?Yang Du rested his chin and meditated.He recalled when he first came to Changsha and climbed Yuelu Mountain for the first time, he saw the undulating and lush mountains, and the Xiangjiang River going north, like a silver belt; looking to the south, he seemed to faintly see the snow on Nanyue Peak and the ancient pines on Cangwu Mountain.When he came down the mountain to Yuelu Academy, he was agitated by the school that has been singing songs for thousands of years. The two couplets on the gate and the main hall remained in his memory like a knife.One is: Only Chu is talented, and he is prosperous here.The other is: My way to the south is always the main vein of Lianxi; when the great river goes east, it is nothing but the aftermath of the Xiangshui River.The first one talks about talents in Hunan, and the second one talks about Hunan's academics.As a teenager in Hunan, Yang Du was deeply proud of his hometown at that time.Yes, beautiful mountains and rivers, a collection of talents, and advanced academics, this is Hunan, which is enough to make the people of the country envy and the people of Hunan to be proud of.Is it okay to write about Hunan without writing about these aspects?

The night was deep, and the sound of waves coming from the coast of Yokohama was like a majestic piece of music, which inspired Yang Du's creative inspiration.Grand ambitions, magnificent spirit, Yuan Yi's knowledge, and magnificent talents are urged out by the sound of waves: Yang Du thought about it, wrote about it, wrote about it, until the east turned white.I wrote forty-four lines of poems overnight.He read it aloud himself, and felt that it was excellent in terms of emotion, color, and phonology. He thought it was no less than Baixiangshan, and it was higher than Wumei Village's "Yuanyuanqu".He is very satisfied.Immediately, he felt extremely tired, and he didn't want to take off his clothes, so he fell asleep on the bed.

"Wake up, wake up! What time is it? You're still sleeping!" Yang Du was woken up when he was sleeping soundly.He opened his eyes and saw that it was Cai E standing by the bed. "What time is it?" He wiped his eyes and asked. "Master is thinking about you, and said the house is good, but there is no food, so she asked me to bring lunch. See what time it is!" Cai E said, and lifted the lid of the bamboo basket, a spicy smell wafted out . "It's really noon." Yang Du said, looking up at the wall clock on the wall, it was pointing to half past twelve, and hurriedly washed his face and rinsed his mouth.

Cai E took out four dishes from the basket, all cooked in Guizhou style, and took out a bottle of Moutai as if by magic.Yang Du was surprised: "Yokohama also sells Moutai?" Cai E smiled and said: "Where did you buy this in Yokohama! Master Liang said that it was a gift from my mother's family, and even he couldn't drink it himself. My mother valued you very much and gave it to you to make the article more exciting. .” Yang Du loves wine, and it is so beautiful to be able to drink Moutai from his motherland in a foreign country.He said with emotion: "Zhuo Ru is blessed to have found a virtuous wife." Then he asked Cai E, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No." Cai E said, "Master Liang asked me to eat with them, but I said I would eat with Xizi." "The best, the best." Yang Du was extremely happy, "Eating alone is boring, and drinking alone is even more boring. Come, let's drink together." Yang Du found two beautiful small wine glasses from the owner's dining cabinet.Although Cai E graduated from the non-commissioned officer school and is about to become a military instructor, he is not good at drinking by nature. He shook his head and said, "I will eat with you, but I will not drink."

"That won't work. If you don't drink anymore, you have to have a drink with me." Cai E couldn't resist, so he had to say: "Okay, it's settled, I'll just have a drink with you." "Songpo, the boat ticket on the 10th hasn't changed, has it?" "No change, set sail at nine o'clock in the morning on the tenth." Cai E blushed as soon as he took a sip. "I really envy you, you will be able to return to China soon. I am in danger of returning home now, I don't know when I will be able to return home!" Yang Du, who was still in a state of extreme excitement just now, took a few sips of wine, and was unexpectedly arrested by the soon-to-be Cai E, who returned home, aroused a strong sense of homesickness.For a moment, he thought of his mother, his younger sister, Master Xiangqi, and his new wife, Mrs. Huang.Before marriage, although he had no feelings for Huang, after marriage, Huang fulfilled his duties as a wife and daughter-in-law, which made him love from respect.

"Songpo, please bring me a letter from home!" "Okay." Cai E, who has been in Japan for a long time, understands Yang Du's mood very well at this time. He suggested, "In a few months, the weather will be calm, and you can go back quietly and have a look." "I think so too." Once the nostalgia that had been stored in him for a long time suddenly rose, Yang Du felt more comfortable in his heart. "It's a good thing that I can't go back for a while. Although Japan is a small country, it is a university, and there are things for us to learn from all walks of life. The knowledge I have learned in Japan in the past few years is equivalent to ten years and twenty years in China. Years, or even a lifetime may not be learned."

Cai E's words in his heart made Yang Du suddenly wake up.When you come to Japan, one is asylum, and the other is to study, and the latter is more important.China is bound to change, and the imperial court's current plan will also change, and I will definitely take on the important task of the country in the future.Songpo is right. Japan is a university. We should seize this time to accumulate knowledge and hone our talents. One day in the future, we will be able to fulfill the heavy responsibility on our shoulders without any regrets.The lofty enthusiasm for serving the country quickly suppressed the sudden surge of wandering nostalgia.Yang Du picked up the wine bottle, filled it for himself first, and then poured it for Cai E again.Cai E hurriedly covered the wine glass: "I only have one glass as agreed, if I drink any more, I won't even be able to eat." Looking at Cai E's pitiful face, Yang Du laughed happily: "Songpo, you are a soldier in military uniform when you return to China. Since ancient times, spirits have strengthened your courage, so you have always been a hero. There are very few soldiers who don’t drink. If you don’t drink, it will be difficult for you to get along with the soldiers in the future! Come on, Songpo, listen to me, fill up, don’t drink, and force yourself to learn drink!" Cai E felt that Yang Du's words made sense. "Grand Mo laughs drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times".Wine can strengthen the hero's courage, wine can boil the blood of martyrs, wine can reveal the words in the heart, wine can forget life and death!Since ancient times, wine and soldiers have been inextricably linked.If you can't drink between the toilet and the ranks, there will be a gap between the up and down, the left, the right, and the invisible.Yes, don't drink, but also learn to drink! "Mr. Xizi, what you said makes sense. I'll have another drink, and I'll learn to drink slowly in the future." "Good job!" Yang Du was very happy, raised his glass and said, "Songpo, I was born as a general, but I gave up martial arts and turned to literature; you were born as a scholar, but gave up literature and turned to martial arts. A literati who should be a soldier, I wish you, a soldier who should be a literati, after returning to China this time, with the purpose of saving the country and the people, you will train a brand-new army with brand-new military viewpoints and military skills. Become a famous general of the new era." "Thank you for your wishes." Cai E also raised his glass and took a sip. "Songpo, are there more Chinese students in your non-commissioned officer academy, royalists or revolutionaries?" Yang Du asked, changing the subject. "The Chinese students studying in the non-commissioned officer school, who receive Japanese military education, mostly hold the view that soldiers do not interfere in politics, that soldiers take obedience as their bounden duty, and that soldiers take victory in battle as glory. Therefore, most of the students neither join the royalist party nor participate in the revolution. The faction is just trying to learn the military technology of Japan, Germany and other European countries, and train the army well after returning home to improve the quality of Chinese soldiers. As for the state system of the country, that is the business of politicians, and politicians should obey the wishes of the people of the whole country Choice. Soldiers are only responsible for protecting the country chosen by the people and run by politicians, and there is no need to interfere.” Yang Du agreed with Cai E's answer, nodded again and again, and said: "The school ethos of the non-commissioned officer school is very good. It is true. Soldiers should not be involved in politics. Politics is the business of politicians. It is the same military school, but the Army University is different. Dai Yi said that the overseas students there like to talk about politics the most, and the quarrel between the royalist faction and the revolutionary faction was very fierce, which actually delayed the business." Cai E said: "Japanese instructors often say that once soldiers intervene in politics, they will become warlords, and the country will have endless civil wars and no peace. This is indeed the case when it is related to the history of China and Japan. For example, the chaos of the Tang Dynasty in China, Japan's shogunate dictatorship, in fact, is the result of warlords intervening in politics." "That's a good thing. As for you personally? You have your own opinion!" "My personal opinion," Cai E said after thinking for a while, "I admire the Japanese-style constitutional monarchy, which not only has a series of emperors as the symbol of the country, but also has a complete set of constitutions learned from Europe and the United States. The cabinet formed by the constitution. Of course, democratic republics like the United States and France are also very good. The bad thing is that the current autocratic monarchy in China does not have any rights, democracy and freedom for the common people. Such a system must be changed. Mr. Liang and others He devoted himself to the promotion of civil rights and democracy for 2009, which has an epoch-making role in opening up the wisdom of the people in China, and I agree with his political views." Yang Du smiled and said, "It's really Zhuo Ru's faithful believer!" "Mr. Xizi, what do you think?" Cai E asked back. "My thoughts are more complicated." Yang Du held up the wine glass and turned it, as if admiring its craftsmanship. "Before the future of Japan, I basically held the traditional concept of the scholar-officials in the past. Everything was maintained in the old order. I only hoped that the officialdom would be clean and honest, and the people would live and work in peace and contentment. There was a period of time when I leaned towards the reformist school. I came to Japan for the first time last spring, and there was a surge of foreign students. The wave of patriotism stirred me up, especially the incisive articles written by the Revolutionary Manchurian faction were even more intoxicating. My thinking was once very radical, advocating riotous progressivism. Now my thinking has changed again, and I feel that rioting progressivism is China is not necessarily suitable, and peaceful progress is not necessarily wrong in China. I am getting really undecided. I think whether it is progress through a riot, or progress through peace. Well, as long as progress is good, the indicator of a country’s progress is mainly to see whether the country has constitutionalism. Without constitutionalism, progress cannot be made even after disturbances; with constitutionalism, progress can also be made through peaceful means. So I recently decided to temporarily Instead of arguing about the method of the first stage, calm down and devote yourself to the study of constitutionalism. Starting from the study of constitutionalism in Japan, it will be extended to constitutionalism in other countries. I plan to draw on the strengths of constitutionalism in other countries to formulate a set of constitutionalism that suits China's national conditions. constitution." "Mr. Xizi, you are amazing!" Cai E admired Yang Du's foresight and sagacity for concentrating on studying constitutionalism first, without talking about the first stage of the method. He raised his half-filled wine glass and said, "I believe you will Will become China's Bismarck, Mazzini, Itten Bowen!" Yang Du was looking forward to China's Bismarck, Mazzini, and Itten Bowen. Hearing Cai E's words, he was very relieved, and he raised his glass and said, "I believe you will become China's Cromway in the future." Er, Napoleon." Cai E was also very relieved to hear this, so he drank the wine in one gulp.Yang Du was about to pick up the wine bottle to pour wine for Cai E, but Cai E hurriedly stopped him in fright: "Mr. Xizi, please forgive me this time. I will learn to drink this wine slowly in the future." While talking, he found that the cups, plates and dishes in front of him were spinning in the air, and he didn't care about greeting Yang Du, so he went straight to the bedroom. The slight drunkenness and the speculative conversation just now aroused the pride in Yang Du's chest, adding a fountain of poetic thoughts.Regardless of the messy cups and plates on the table, and the thunderous snoring from the next door, Yang Du picked up his pen and continued last night's poem.He wants to bring up again the deeds of the Hunanese who shocked China 40 or 50 years ago, awaken the memory of the Hunan people, and make his own evaluation of it:
