Chapter 113 Fragmented League

From the official establishment of the Tongmenghui to 1907, several uprisings were launched successively, such as the Pingliuli Uprising, the Huanggang Uprising, the Qinvhu Uprising in Huizhou, and the Zhennanguan Uprising. Although the processes were different, the results were the same: All failed. At this time, the court finally realized the power and danger of Sun Yat-sen, a small scholar.So a global arrest warrant was issued, strongly urging the Japanese government to expel Sun Yat-sen, who regarded Japan as an anti-Qing base.Therefore, Japan had to "export" Sun Yat-sen from the country.

On the surface, it is said to be expelled, but it is actually a gift.Not only did the Japanese government secretly donate 7,000 yuan, but Suzuki Kugoro, a big stock businessman, also generously gave Sun Yat-sen 10,000 yuan... Finally, Sun Yat-sen received a huge sum of more than 20,000 yen at once. You must know that ordinary Japanese working-class people at that time The monthly salary is only twenty or thirty yen. Because the income of the League is based on donations from all walks of life, the money Sun Yat-sen received should of course belong to the income of the League.However, Sun Yat-sen only left 2,000 yuan for the Minbao, the official newspaper of the Tongmenghui, and took all the rest with him.

This time, Zhang Taiyan, who was the editor-in-chief of "Min Bao" at the time, went crazy. "Crazy Zhang" scolded Sun Yat-sen all over his face: Sun Yat-sen, you boy dare to embezzle!Then don't blame me for being rude!Cursing and cursing, he smashed Sun Yat-sen's portrait, and angrily withdrew from the Tongmenghui with his own Zhejiang faction (Recovery Society). Afterwards, although Sun Yat-sen wrote detailed income and expenditure details to prove that all the money was used for the revolution, he did not spend a penny indiscriminately.However, Sun Yat-sen, as the top leader of the Tongmenghui, was careless when the financial system was unclear. It was too late to refute the rumors at this time, and the Tongmenghui fell apart.

At the critical moment, someone proposed: Let Huang Xing be the leader of the League. Fortunately, Huang Xingshi was general and magnanimous. He rejected Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe and resolutely refused to take the top spot in the League. revolution! It is a pity that the repeated failures, coupled with internal strife, and the Chinese people's hope for the constitution of the imperial court, not only demoralized the revolutionaries, but also gave Liang Qichao an excuse to attack the revolutionaries. Liang Qichao said in "Xinmin Congbao" in 1908: The leaders of your revolutionary party instigated other people's children to die, but you live in high-rise luxury houses and are at ease. You are just "remote revolutionaries".

Although it is said that Liang Qichao's performance in the "1898 Coup" was not very good, and the self-reliant army uprising that had a lot to do with him also failed, but his statement is indeed too lethal.Indeed, once these revolutionaries failed, they turned and went into exile overseas, and there were no figures similar to the "Six Gentlemen of 1898". Just when the reputation of the Revolutionary Party was going from bad to worse, a 27-year-old young man stood up bravely.He said: I am going to Beijing to assassinate senior officials of the Qing Dynasty, so that the world can see that our revolutionary leaders are not greedy for life and afraid of death, not some "remote revolutionaries"!

This person is none other than Wang Jingwei, one of the founders of the Tongmenghui and the head of the Evaluation Department.
