Chapter 84 5. The four-character love letter in the tea egg: enduring death for a while

When the Tongmenghui was established in Tokyo, Wang Zhaoming participated in its activities as a Hosei student.After graduating from Thammasat University, he did not return to China and became a professional revolutionary.He pursued a fierce revolutionary anti-Manchurianism, which was completely opposite to Yang Du's idea of ​​a constitutional monarchy.Wang Zhaoming is young and energetic, and he has a clear love for monks. He does not have the inclusive bearing of Yang Du.Because of his different political beliefs, he later refused to associate with Yang Du more.Yang Du took the initiative to find him several times, but his attitude was very cold.So although the two were in Tokyo together, they almost cut off contact.

Wang Zhaoming, who was born in a teacher's family, has practiced good writing since he was a child, and his eloquence is also excellent, and he speaks in an orderly and logical manner.When his articles and debates are enriched with revolutionary righteousness, they become extraordinarily majestic and unstoppable.Therefore, he received special attention from Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, and served as the minister of one of the three departments of the Tongmenghui.He also hosted "Min Bao" and launched a tit-for-tat struggle with Liang Qichao's "Xin Min Cong Bao", which made Yin Bingzi dwarf in front of him for a while.

Wang Zhaoming used the word "Jingwei" as his pseudonym when he published an article in "Minbao". After a long time, everyone called him Wang Jingwei, but his real name was not used much. The word "Jingwei" undoubtedly comes from the allusion of "Jingwei filling the sea" in Chinese, which intends to imitate the Jingwei bird carrying the stone from the Western Mountain to fill the water of the Eastern Sea.But Wang Zhaoming is not a person of this character.He longs to become famous in one fell swoop, and he only wants to do great things that move the world, and he can't stand the torment of being unknown and persistent.He has told people many times that a revolution is like cooking, that fire and a pot together turn raw rice into cooked rice.The function of fire is a fierce word, the torch is blazing and blazing, but it is quickly extinguished.The function of the pot is constant, water cannot be eroded, fire cannot be melted, and water and fire can endure it.Fire is like the revolutionaries who go forward indomitably, sacrificing their lives for righteousness.The pot is like the indomitable revolutionaries, and they continue to work hard.Wang Jingwei believed that he lacked perseverance and patience. He was willing to be a fire, ignited with dazzling flames, and then quickly destroyed, which is also very honorable.

Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, he admired the ancient Jing Ke and Nie Zheng very much, and regarded "five steps of bloodshed, two corpses" as the most heroic cause.At that time, there were not many people who held this kind of thinking, and the style of assassination was prevalent among the revolutionaries.Wan Fuhua's assassination of Wang Zhichun, Wu Yue's assassination of the five foreign ministers, and Xu Xilin's assassination of En Ming were all sensational cases.When there was a conflict within the Tongmenghui, and Zhang Taiyan attacked Wang Jingwei for being a poor scholar and not a revolutionary, Wang Jiu's pride suddenly burst out.He is determined to leave Hong Kong and go north, and immediately embark on a heroic career of a true revolutionary.

Wang Jingwei has several like-minded friends.One is Huang Fusheng from Longchang, Sichuan, and the other is Yu Peilun from Neijiang, Sichuan.There is also a woman, originally from Panyu, Guangdong, who was born in Chen Bijun in Penang, Nanyang. Chen Bijun's father was a giant merchant in Nanyang, and he was quite open-minded.Her mother was revolutionary and joined the League.Chen Bijun, who grew up in this kind of family, is very different from ordinary women.She is enthusiastic about state affairs and has great ambitions. Although she is in a foreign land, she has a strong patriotism.When Wang Jingwei was agitating for revolutionary propaganda in Nanyang, Chen Bijun and her parents went to listen to the speech.Wang Jingwei's abundant revolutionary passion and eloquent eloquence attracted the Chen family.In particular, Wang Jingwei's dignified appearance and elegant demeanor firmly hooked the heart of this young girl who was waiting for her husband.For the sake of the country and love, Chen Bijun resolutely abandoned his wealthy family and peaceful life, and followed Wang Jingwei as a revolutionary who was always in danger of being killed.A few of them formed an assassination group, and the targets of the assassination were Manchu officials.

At that time, the governor of Liangjiang, Duanfang, was the great enemy of the revolutionaries, and he was ordered to transfer the governor of Zhili.Wang Jingwei estimated that he would take a boat from Nanjing to Hankou, and then go north by train.So I came to Hankou and chose Dazhimen Station to start.Unexpectedly, Duanfang did not take this route, but went from Nanjing to Shanghai, and then took a sea-going ship to Tianjin.Disappointed, Wang Jingwei decided to go to Beijing instead.Wang Jingwei went to Beijing with the determination to die and become a benevolent. He bit his finger and wrote eight words to his best friend Hu Hanmin: I am the salary today, and my brother is the cauldron. I want Hu to submit it to Zhongxing Daily for publication after his death.He also wrote to the members of the League in Nanyang: "Although my brother is weeping blood on the streets of the vegetable market, I still open my eyes to hope that the revolutionary army will enter the capital."

After arriving in Beijing, Huang Fusheng, who was good at photography, opened a Shouzhen photo studio in the Huoshen Temple of Liulichang outside Hepingmen as a cover.They stayed in the photo studio and made various preparations. Wang Jingwei chose Yikuang as his target.But every time Yikuang came out of the palace, he was surrounded by crowds, and the guards were so strict that he couldn't attack.Later, just as Zai Xun and Zai Tao came back from their European naval inspections, they went to the Qianmen Station to wait.Unfortunately, Brother Zai Xun had a lot of followers, and they had never met the two emperor uncles, so they couldn't recognize Brother Zai Xun, so they had to give up.In the end, they decided not to do anything, but to simply capture the thief and the king, and kill the No. 1 leader of the Manchus——Zaifeng.

After several weeks of demolition, they set their sights on Yinding Bridge, which is only a few dozen steps away from Prince Chun's Mansion.It is quiet here, and it is the only way for Zaifeng to enter the court.One night last April, Yu Peilun and Huang Fusheng sneaked to Yinding Bridge.They put the bomb on the bridge first, and then they went to install the wires.Unexpectedly, the measurement was not accurate beforehand, so I found that the line was a few feet short, so I had to put it away.When I was about to take out the bomb buried in the soil, I saw a person squatting by the bridge, so I had to take shelter temporarily.At this moment, the gate of the palace opened, and several people carrying lanterns walked out.Huang and Yu were afraid of being discovered, so they left Yinding Bridge, planning to come back to pick up the bomb tomorrow night.When I went to pick it up the next night, the bomb had already been dug away.

Wang Jingwei analyzed two possibilities.One possibility is that if it is taken away by the people of the palace, it will definitely mobilize the troops and cause disturbances all over the city.Another possibility is that it was taken away by ordinary people. Generally, ordinary people will not report the case, so nothing will happen.After four or five days in a row, the weather was calm and nothing happened.Wang concluded that the bomb had fallen into the hands of ordinary people, so he sent Yu Peilun and Chen Bijun to Japan to fetch explosives to make bombs in Beijing. Unexpectedly, they judged wrong.A bomb was taken away by those people in the palace who went out with lanterns that night.The palace strictly sealed the news and sent the bomb to foreign embassies for identification.After the appraisal, foreign experts said: "The bomb is so powerful that it cannot be made in China. It must be made in foreign countries. The shell is large and rough, so it should be made nearby."

According to the clues of the shell, the Wangfu found the iron factory that made the bomb.The owner of the iron factory led plainclothes detectives to recognize Huang Fusheng near Liulichang.In this way, Huang Fusheng and all the guys in the photo studio were arrested.Wang Jingwei originally lived in another place, and one of the staff once delivered food to Wang, so Wang did not escape. When the newspaper announced this huge case to the world, people both at home and abroad were shocked.Chen Bijun in Japan was distraught and was about to go to Beijing alone to rescue him, but was dissuaded by Sun Yat-sen, Hu Hanmin and others.The League decided to try to rescue them, but they were unable to do so for a while.However, Wang Jingwei and Huang Fu lived a long life, and they met a more enlightened judge, who was Prince Su Shanqi.

Shanqi was then Minister of Civil Affairs, and the case fell into his hands.Shanqi knew that people's hearts sympathized with the Revolutionary Party. In order to win people's hearts, he advocated a lenient punishment.He also imitated the attitude of the West towards political prisoners. During the interrogation, Wang Jingwei was asked to speak standing up instead of kneeling in the usual way.Since Wang Jingwei was determined to kill himself to become a benevolent, he was not afraid. He did not beg for forgiveness in court, but talked about the doctrine of revolutionary suppression, and excused Huang Fusheng, putting all the responsibility on himself.During the detention, he expected to die without a doubt, so he wrote four five-character quatrains in prison.A jailer who admired him brought out these four poems, which spread widely among the people and praised him.In particular, the third song "Singing Yan City generously, being a prisoner of Chu calmly. With a sword, you can live up to the boy's head", which is even more glorious and can be compared with Tan Sitong's sacrifice words.Wang Jingwei's feat of assassinating the regent and his revolutionary integrity made him a hero admired by everyone in the country.Whether it is the revolutionary party or the constitutional party, whether it is officialdom or the market, as long as Wang Jingwei is mentioned, everyone admires him. Not long after the verdict came down, Wang Jingwei and Huang Fusheng were imprisoned for life.After the news was announced, the revolutionaries breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Bijun was even more overjoyed. Now he can calmly try to rescue him.Chen Bijun and Hu Hanmin raised funds separately.Chen's mother took out 4,000 yuan from her private house, and she even rummaged through boxes and boxes. She took out everything that could be used, and managed the prison staff up and down, so please take care of Wang and Huang's life.Then I went to officialdom for activities, hoping to commute my sentence, but I spent a lot of money and made little progress. A few days ago, the emperor issued an edict of guilt and announced that he would pardon the political prisoners since the 1898 coup.Chen Bijun was overjoyed, and she thought about telling the news to her lover in the prison.After racking her brains, she finally came up with an idea.Yesterday she boiled more than ten eggs and put them in a bamboo basket. She asked a prisoner who had dealt with several times to give them to Wang Jingwei, and quietly gave the prisoner five silver dollars.The jailer took the money, looked carefully at the basket, and saw that there was indeed nothing else except eggs, so he took it in and handed it to Wang Jingwei. Wang Jingwei took the egg and was very happy. He peeled off the shell and ate it.The eggs are boiled with five flavors of salt tea and are delicious.He peeled off several in a row.Suddenly, he found that one of the eggshells seemed to have been peeled off.He carefully peeled off the shell of the egg, and unexpectedly saw a small note inside.There are four words written on the note: endure death for a while.Without looking too much, he recognized Chen Bijun's handwriting at a glance.Wang Jingwei was ecstatic.These four words clearly told him that as long as he endured a little longer, he would have the hope of being released from prison. Thinking that he will be free soon, and see his sweetheart and revolutionary comrades who have been caring and rescuing him outside, Wang Jingwei is so excited that he stays up all night. He wants to prepare a precious gift to repay his affectionate lover.Looking at the bright moon streaming through the iron window, he filled out a piece of "Golden Hazel Song" word by word: It is not easy to trek across the Guanhe River. May the lonely soul haunt the front and back of the car, the heart is broken, and the song is difficult. When it was almost dawn, he fell asleep in a hazy state.When I woke up, it was already high in the sun, and the "Witch Hazel Song" I filled in at night came to my mind again.He felt that this poem couldn't be more affectionate, but it didn't seem a little sad, and the tone should be raised.While thinking about it, the jailer opened the iron gate and came in: "Wang Zhaoming, follow me out, there is a master who wants to see you." Wang Jingwei got up from the floor.The jailer stepped forward and took out the key to unlock the shackles on his hands and feet.Wang Jingwei felt strange: He has been in prison for a year and a half, and has been interrogated many times, and he has always been in shackles. Who is this master? Wang Jingwei followed the jailer to a simple reception room.As soon as he entered the door, a well-dressed middle-aged man hurriedly got up and took a few steps forward, saying: "Jingwei, you have suffered, do you still recognize me?" Isn't this Yang Du? I haven't seen him for five or six years. How could he come to see me in prison?Wang Jingwei was thinking about it, but Yang Du had already walked to his side, held his hand in both hands, looked him up and down carefully, and said sadly: "You are much thinner, come, sit down and talk." Said, helped him to sit down at the table.Yang Du's sincere concern made Wang Jingwei very grateful.He asked: "I heard that you have become a high-ranking official in the imperial court, why did you come here to see me?" Yang Du smiled and said, "I'll talk about these things later. I'm here today to tell you that you will be released from prison tomorrow. Congratulations!" "Tomorrow, will you be released from prison tomorrow?" Even though he received a note from Chen Bijun "enduring death for a while", he already estimated that his time in prison was coming to an end, but he never thought that he would be released from prison tomorrow, let alone come here. It was not the warden who told the news, but Yang Xizi, who hadn't had any contact with him for many years. "Yes, I will be released from prison tomorrow!" Yang Du pressed Wang Jingwei's pale and thin hand on the table with both hands, nodded and said, "The Ministry of Justice's amnesty order will be announced tomorrow morning. I just came out of the Ministry of Justice and saw it with my own eyes. After they have sealed it, come here and tell you." "You saw them stamping the seal with your own eyes at the Ministry of Justice?" It was impossible for Wang Jingwei to think that his case would be linked with Yang Du.I am the revolutionary party that overthrew the imperial court. Yang Du is an official of the imperial court. Although he used to be a good friend, he has parted ways because of different political opinions. It's unbelievable. "So, you helped me out of prison?" "Someone else is helping you, I'm just running errands." Yang Du still said with a smile. "Who will help me?" Wang Jingwei asked. "I will tell you in a few days." Yang Du let go of his hand and said, "In Xiaoyangjiao Hutong, Xuanwumenwai Street, a courtyard house has been prepared for you, and a large carriage will pick you up at noon tomorrow. You Live in this yard first, and change it if you are not satisfied." "Brother Xizi, can you inform Chen Bijun that she will pick me up tomorrow." Wang Jingwei hurriedly made this request without asking why Yang Du prepared a house and carriage for him.He missed Chen Bijun so much, he hoped that the first thing he would see when he came out of the prison would be his beloved lover. "Who is Chen Bijun?" Chen Bijun's name was not included in Wang Jingwei's case, and Yang Du did not know her identity. "Where does she live?" "Chen Bijun is my comrade and my girlfriend." Wang Jingwei's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said, "However, I don't know where she lives." Hearing that it was Wang's girlfriend, Yang Du immediately said: "It doesn't matter, no matter where she lives, I will find her. Tomorrow the carriage will pick her up first." "Thank you, Xizi!" Wang Jingwei began to smile, and asked again, "Where is Huang Fusheng, will he be released from prison tomorrow?" "Leave here with you tomorrow!" Yang Du answered simply. "Great!" Wang Jingwei laughed again. "I lived with him when I got out of prison." "Okay." Yang Du said, took out a bank note from his pocket and said, "This is 80,000 silver dollars, you accept it." "What are you doing?" Wang Jingwei was taken aback and pushed subconsciously. "Listen to me." Yang Du pushed the bank note over again. "You have suffered in prison for more than a year, and your body has been severely damaged. After you are released from prison, you need to nourish and nourish yourself, recuperate and recuperate. This requires money. In addition, you are now a nationally famous hero. After you are released from prison People from all walks of life will come to visit you, and you have to pay your respects. These entertainments cost the most money, so you spend them first.” "Xizi, how can I use your money, you're rich?" Wang Jingwei still didn't answer. "That's good. If you feel sorry for using this money, let me lend it to you for now, and then return it to me when you have money." He said, picking up the banknote and stuffing it into Wang's hand. Wang Jingwei thought about the need for money as soon as he got out of the prison, and he was penniless, so he couldn't do it, so he accepted the bank note and said, "Okay, lend it to me first, and then I will pay you back later." Yang Du got up and said: "I'm leaving, you go back to the prison to get ready, I'll go to Xiaoyangjiao Hutong to see you again in a few days." At noon the next day, when Wang Jingwei stepped out of the prison door, Chen Bijun shouted "Jingwei" and rushed towards him.A couple in need hugged tightly, unable to speak a word for a long time.Wang Jingwei was grateful for Yang Du's wonderful arrangement, and also admired his ability: The vast capital, where did he find Bijun so quickly? The news of Wang Jingwei's release from prison was published in major newspapers the next day.People admire this living Jing Ke, and they all want to see his heroic appearance.The revolutionaries even came to condolences one after another.For a while, the Xiaoyangjiao Hutong was full of cars and horses, and it was very lively. After he was released from prison, Wang Jingwei lived with Chen Bijun, and Huang Fusheng lived in another house.Chen Bijun was born into a wealthy businessman's family, he was generous with his money since he was a child, and he liked to show off, not to mention that Lang Jun was released from prison with honor and became famous all over the world, so all the arrangements couldn't be more shabby.Buying clothes, buying supplements, setting up banquets, and meeting guests, money is spent like running water.Thanks to Yang Du's banknote, it is really hungry and charcoal in the snow.Thinking of this, Wang Jingwei once again felt grateful to Yang Du.However, he was also deeply puzzled: Why is Xizi so caring? Is it because she is in love with her, or is she asking for something else? Before and after Wang Jingwei was released from prison, earth-shattering events in China did not stop for a single day. On November 3, the Zizhengyuan passed the resolution on the nineteen articles of the constitution.Zaifeng announced it immediately, and took an oath to the Taimiao at an optional date.On the same day, Shanghai became independent, and Chen Qimei, a member of the Tongmenghui and the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang, was elected as the governor.On the 4th, Zhejiang became independent, and Tang Shouqian, chairman of the Consultative Bureau, was promoted to be the governor.On the same day, Guizhou became independent, and Yang Jincheng, the coach of the new army, was promoted as the governor.On the 5th, Jiangsu became independent, and Su Fu Cheng Dequan was promoted to the governor.On the 7th, Guangxi became independent, and the admiral Lu Rongting was promoted to the governor.On the 9th, Guangdong became independent, and Hu Hanmin was promoted as the governor.So far, thirteen provinces have become independent, and more than half of the Qing Dynasty has been taken away by the revolutionaries. At this time, another unexpected event occurred in Shijiazhuang: Wu Luzhen, the governor of the sixth town, was assassinated.Wu Luzhen originally wanted to join forces with Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi, Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the 20th Army, and others to attack Beijing by taking advantage of the battle in Wuhan.Who knows that if the secrets are not kept secret, the great cause will die first. Faced with such a crisis-ridden mess, Zaifeng was powerless, so he had no choice but to abdicate power.After Yuan Shikai was ordered, Feng Guozhang immediately ordered Feng Guozhang to attack Hanyang with all his strength, and he must take it as soon as possible, and then returned to the capital with a group of people.On the second day after returning to Beijing, the list of new cabinets was announced.Yuan Shikai did not break the appointment, and arranged for Yang Du to be a deputy minister of the Ministry of Education, and at the same time gave the post of deputy minister of the Ministry of Law to Liang Qichao who was far away in Japan. Although Yang Du was a little disappointed, he thought that the vice minister was also the minister. Compared with the promotion of the Sipin Xianzheng Hall, he had already been promoted to four ranks in a row, so he should be satisfied, so he accepted it happily.But Liang Qichao immediately sent a telegram and flatly refused.Yuan went to call again to invite him, but Liang still refused.The position of Deputy Minister of Justice became vacant. Yang Du will report to Yuan Shikai on the placement of Wang Jingwei as ordered, and Yuan Shikai will ask him to bring Wang Jingwei to meet tomorrow night.
