Chapter 11 Brother Robesawa

⊙After Qiu Jin died, no one dared to collect his body. Lu Bicheng took great risks to bury his friend.When the guarding Qing army learned that the body collector was Lu Bicheng, who "Jiang Wei alone embraces others and strives for envy, and pushes Lu Bicheng salty everywhere", he had no choice but to give up.Later, Lu serialized "The Biography of Qiu Jin, a Revolutionary Heroine" in newspapers in New York, Chicago and other places, making Qiu Jin's legendary story spread all over the world.At that time, Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili, was supposed to arrest Lu, but he never did it.

⊙After the establishment of Southwest Associated University, Zhang Boling, Jiang Menglin, and Mei Yiqi formed a standing committee to jointly be responsible for school administration.Zhang Boling knew very well that such a situation would easily lead to conflicts, so he handed over all the management power to Jiang and Mei, while he went to Chongqing Nankai Middle School.He said to Jiang Menglin: "You wear my watch", which means "You represent me".Later, Jiang Menglin also held other positions.Therefore, Mei Yiqi was in charge of all the specific affairs of Southwest Associated University.

⊙In August 1916, Mr. Sun Yat-sen came to East Zhejiang.Chen Qubing resigned from the post of secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Government to follow around.Mr. Sun said with emotion: "Out of my two or three sons, only Chen Zi from Wujiang has been able to get rid of the disease... With ten years of robes, he has tasted adversity, and he who knows how to get rid of the disease is the best." ⊙After Yuan Shikai was dismissed from office, only Yang Du, Yan Xiu and others went to the station to see him off.Yuan said: "Your Excellency loves me very much and has good feelings. Guess the rumors are flourishing, or if you are in trouble, I will go and rest." Yan said: "When we get together for a long time, we can't bear to be speechless!" Yang replied: "Don't talk about it. Misfortune is not to be feared."

⊙In the late Qing Dynasty, there were three dignitaries who had the closest relationship with Yuan Shikai: Li Hongzhang, Rong Lu, and Yikuang. ⊙When Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, the revolutionary party and the anti-monarchist faction gathered in Shanghai, and the restoration party and the Qing Dynasty veterans also centered on Shanghai to oppose Yuan.The two factions exchanged banquets, just like a family.Li Mei'an commented: "In the past, Zhao Jianghan and Yuan Yishan met in Yuandu. When they talked about Shaoxing, Chunxi, Dading and Mingchang, they all sobbed and shed tears. In fact, they each thought about their homeland and mourned for nothing. .My generation is in Songhu, restored and overthrown, and the situation is different. It is the same if it is not Li Qianqi. Neither of them agrees with Yuan's imperial system. My generation is like Jin and Song dynasties!"

⊙Tan Qixiu and Cai Tingkai are fellow villagers in Luoding, Guangdong. Since they were transferred to Cai's subordinates in 1929, whether it was the Songhu Battle or the Fujian Incident, Tan has stood up to the chief executive of the fellow villagers several times.After Fujian failed, Cai was exiled overseas, and Tan was still by his side. ⊙After Tang Yulin left Zhang Zuolin, he resumed his old job as a bandit. Zhang asked him to go back several times but refused.One day Zhang Zuolin sang operas for his birthday, among which was "Meeting in the Ancient City" by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.Lao Zhang burst into tears when he saw it, and everyone asked why.Zhang said: "My brothers can still meet if they are separated, but our brothers will not come back once they leave!" This word reached Tang Yulin's ears, and Tang was very moved, so he took the initiative to return to the team.

⊙At the request of Pan Hannian, the representative of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng donated 1,000 sets of gas masks imported from the Netherlands to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the front line in northern Shanxi.He also obtained a batch of communication equipment, armored insurance vehicles, etc., and gave them to the CCP generals. ⊙In order for Mei Lanfang to visit and perform in Europe and the United States, Qi Rushan spent three months writing a book called "The Organization of Chinese Drama", and then hired the best painters to draw hundreds of related works Pictures, from theaters, beards, makeup, facial makeup to dance scores, weapons, musical instruments, etc., are all available.Leighton Stuart, who was the president of Yenching University at the time, also fully supported this. He recruited more than a dozen professors to help Qi Rushan translate Chinese terms into English.

⊙The barrister Qin Liankui once played in the casino run by Du Yuesheng, but lost four thousand dollars in a row.Du Yuesheng happened to see Qin Xing when he left, and after Du asked about Qin's identity, he immediately entrusted someone to return the four thousand oceans in full, and said: "Lawyers make a living by shaking pens, working hard, and wasting words. How much money is easy to make, and I can't win his money." Qin Liankui was very grateful and became Du Zhongshi's legal adviser ever since. ⊙When Zhang Fakui was in the United States, a doctor named Yalun filled an heirloom wine glass with brandy and said to Zhang: "In my lifetime, if you can defeat Japan, I would like to give you this glass. "After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yalun really asked someone to hand over the wine glass to Zhang Fakui.

⊙On May 28, 1879, Li Hongzhang met with former US President and Civil War hero General Grant in Tianjin, and he couldn't put it down.Grant said: "Since Zhongtang likes this cane, I should give it as a gift. But this cane was given to me by the business circles across the country when I left office. After getting everyone's consent, I will send it as a gift." Li Hongzhang said: "No need, I just play casually." In 1896, when Li Hongzhang visited the United States, Grant had passed away for ten years. When his wife Julia hosted a banquet for Li Hongzhang, Attendees told the story of her husband's communication and friendship with Li Hongzhang, as well as the cane.Then, she asked everyone: "Do you agree to give this cane to Mr. Li?"Li Hongzhang was deeply moved. After returning home, he regarded him as a treasure and never left him for a moment.

⊙In 1900, Du Xinwu went to Japan to study abroad, met Song Jiaoren, and the two got to know each other very well.After being introduced by Song Jiaoren, Du Xinwu joined the League and became Sun Yat-sen's bodyguard.Du Xinwu did not follow Sun Yat-sen every day, mainly when there were important meetings, he organized people to be responsible for the security work inside and outside the venue. ⊙After Song Jiaoren was assassinated, Huang Xing wrote an elegiac couplet: Wu Luzhen was killed the year before last, Zhang Zhenwu was killed last year, and Song Jiaoren was killed this year; you said it was Ying Guixin, he said it was Hong Shuzu, and I said it was Yuan Shikai.

⊙ Gu Yuxiu, the vice-minister of education of the National Government and president of the National Central University, once presented Mei Ruao with a luxuriously decorated sword.Mei Ru'ao bowed deeply, held the sword with both hands above her head, and said, "'Red powder is given to beautiful women, and swords are given to strong men'. Unfortunately, I am not a strong man, and I am ashamed to accept it." Gu Yuxiu said: "You represent 450 million Chinese. The people and millions of compatriots who died came to the capital of the invading country to punish the culprit. This is the most heroic thing in the world. If you don’t be a strong man, whoever is a strong man!"

⊙Wu Peifu was from a poor family in his early years, but he was a heavy smoker. Once he entered the "private seat" of a smoking hall by mistake, and was kicked out by Weng Qinsheng, a respectable country gentry inside.When Wu Peifu was the battalion commander, he met Weng Qinsheng in his own territory, so he took him back to the camp for dinner, asked him to bring a letter home, bought a ticket for him, and sent him to the train.After Weng Qinsheng returned to Penglai, everyone he met praised Wu Peifu's demeanor.Later, Wu became the commander-in-chief, and Weng Qinsheng took refuge in him, and got a big position. ⊙Xu Shichang, governor of the three eastern provinces, had heard for a long time that Sun Lutang's martial arts were superb. In 1907, Xu hired Sun as a guest and went to the northeast together. In 1918, Sun Lutang founded Sun-style Taijiquan, and Xu Shichang invited Sun into the presidential palace as a military Xuanguan. ⊙In 1898, Prince Gong Yixin held the hand of Emperor Guangxu tightly before he died, and told him to be careful of Kang, Liang and other "Guangdong villains" who used the banner of reform to realize their political ambitions. ⊙Dai Jitao gambled with Chiang Kai-shek in Japan, and had a close relationship with Chiang throughout his life. ⊙ On May 27, 1876, Wen Xiang died of illness.Prince Gong Yixin composed a poem, which said in a tragic song: "From now on, don't have a cup full of tears, and don't cry Qu Ping to the Xiangjiang River." ⊙ On July 19, 1946, the Capital High Court of the Nanjing Government held a public trial for Zhou Zuoren.Zhou stated in his statement of defense: "The school moved to the south, the professors were middle-aged or unable to accompany them due to family relations, including the late Meng Sen, Feng Zuxun, Ma Yuzao and the four defendants, who were specially recognized by the president Jiang Menglin as Peking University Liuping Professor, entrust the custody of school property.” Zhou Zuoren was called a “giant traitor” at that time, and someone who testified for him was accused of being a traitor, but Jiang Menglin still issued a certificate for him. On August 13, Zhao Chen, the president of the High Court, sent a letter to Jiang Menglin, saying that the certificate issued by Jiang had not filled in the year, and "whether it was written by Taiduan is unknown." The next day, Jiang Menglin replied to confirm the above-mentioned matters again. ⊙On the New Year's Day of 1914, Qian Xuantong received a postcard from Zhang Taiyan, which began with the words "What year is this?" followed by the sentence "I will never die again".Because of his ambiguity, Xuantong was worried about accidents, so he went to visit the next day, and when he opened the door, he smelled of alcohol. Zhangzheng was drinking and splashing ink in the room, relaxed and relaxed. ⊙Deng Wenyi served as Chiang Kai-shek's attendant secretary.Jiang was moody and often vented his anger on him, but he had no complaints, and said to others: "Who can leave his leader? If he is by his side, he is by his side, and if he is not by his side, he is still by his side. It is the so-called essence of loyalty." ⊙In 1921, on the eve of the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Dong Biwu asked Huang Kan for help to solve the problem of accommodation for the delegates.Huang then wrote to his wife Huang Shaolan, who was the principal of the Bowen Girls School in the French Concession in Shanghai at the time, asking Mao Zedong, Dong Biwu and other ten representatives to stay at the Bowen Girls School under the name of "Peking University Summer Vacation Tour Group". ⊙Wu Peifu was admired by Guo Xudong when he was not making a fortune. After Wu Peifu became famous, he never forgot about this kind brother.When the mansion was opened in Luoyang, except for Cao Kun's envoy, Wu never greeted and sent off all Chinese and foreign guests in person, except for Guo Xudong.Guo has a heavy smoking habit, and Wu has a ban on smoking, so Wu Te issued an order: "Only Mr. Guo is allowed to enjoy his addiction, and his subordinates are not allowed to break the ring." ⊙Someone told Hu Shi such a story: Once, Zhang Zuolin and Yang Yuting had an argument over a matter, and Zhang got angry, and casually said "Damn it".Yang Chen suddenly stood up, and said, "Who are you scolding!" Zhang Zhi made a slip of the tongue, and immediately apologized, saying, "This is our spoken word, if someone slipped out of it carelessly, who dare to scold you!" Hu Shi commented: "It's a beautiful story." ⊙In 1915, Zhang Taiyan was imprisoned in a courtyard in Beijing's Qianliang Hutong for opposing Yuan Shikai.Huang Kan heard that he visited Beijing twice, and later moved into Zhang Taiyan's forbidden place under the pretext of "researching knowledge".But not long after, Huang was evicted by the police.Huang Kan was so angry at the time that he protested by going on a hunger strike. ⊙During the Sino-Japanese naval battle in Sino-Japanese War, Beiyang Minister Li Hongzhang called Nanyang Minister Liu Kunyi: "There is no reason to speak, and it cannot be stopped." Liu replied: "There are no soldiers to transfer, and no pay to raise." ⊙ Zhang Zhidong’s 70th birthday, Fan Yunmen wrote a 2,000-word article to celebrate his birthday, in which he said that Zhang Zhidong had been an official for more than 40 years, and every time he made a difference, he was slandered by his colleagues. I agree very much.When Zhang Zhidong read the passage "not appreciating his wisdom in planning, but blaming him for the delay in accomplishing things; not acknowledging his difficulty in making money, but blaming him for the ease of using it", he stroked his beard and said, "Yunmen knows me! " ⊙After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising in 1911, Chen Qimei, Huang Yu, and Chiang Kai-shek conspired to make a big deal and were congenial.The three of them exchanged orchid scores at Tiebang in Shanghai, became "brothers of alliance", and vowed: "We must fight for safety and security, and we must share joys and sorrows together." From then on, whenever Chiang Kai-shek encountered difficulties, Huang Yu would be desperate To share the worries for the allies and "carry the ugly"--the traitorous scapegoat of the "Jinan tragedy" was carried by Huang on behalf of Jiang. ⊙Jiang Menglin and Chen Duxiu have different political views, but when Chen Duxiu is in danger, Jiang will still stand up.One day, a friend from the police department called Jiang and said, "We are going to arrest your friend (referring to Chen Duxiu). You should inform him and run away as soon as possible! Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for everyone." Jiang Menglin hurriedly ran away with a student. Go to Chen's residence and tell him to flee immediately.Accompanied by Li Dazhao, Chen Sui fled to Tianjin by a small road in a mule cart.When the two fled to an ancient temple in the mountains, Li Dazhao wrote a letter to Jiang, saying: "The night is silent and the people are quiet, and the green lights are like beans." ⊙After Qi Baishi became famous, fake paintings imitating him can be seen everywhere.A friend of Mei Lanfang bought a "Picture of Spring Plowing" for two hundred taels of silver, and he was very happy.Mei Lanfang once mentioned this to Qi Baishi. Qi Baishi was very curious and wanted to find out when he painted it, so he asked Mei Lanfang to borrow it.He saw at a glance that it was a fake, so he kept the fake painting and painted another "Spring Plowing Picture" to return to the other party. ⊙Wu Mi said: "Although Yinke (Chen Yinke) is my friend, he is actually my teacher." ⊙In 1925, Gao Junyu met Zhou Enlai, then director of the Political Department of Whampoa Military Academy, when he participated in the Party's "Four Big Four".When Gao Junyu learned that Zhou Enlai had been secretly in love with Deng Yingchao, a teacher at Tianjin Daren Girls' School, but had been timid to confess, he volunteered to act as an emissary and rushed to Tianjin to deliver Zhou Enlai's courtship letter to Deng Yingchao in person, finally creating a pair of revolutionary couples , It is a good story. ⊙When Lu Xun passed away, Zhou Zuoren was in class at Peking University. After hearing the news, he immediately told the students with grief: "Lu Xun passed away, and the next class is temporarily absent." ⊙Zhang Zhidong said to Wang Kaiyun: "I am a erudite, and the king is a great CI. Only when we are one person can we take the examination of erudition and Hongci." Wang Kaiyun replied: "If this must be the case, where can I get someone to take the same exam? "(Note: Boxuehongci is referred to as Ci for short, also known as Hongci or Hongbo, which is a kind of imperial examination system) ⊙When Yan Fu served as the supervisor of Anhui Higher School, he presided over the elimination examination of the preparatory class students.When reviewing the students' test papers, Yan found that a good work was dismissed as "paradoxical" by the Chinese teacher and only awarded 40 points.Yan admired this article very much, so he started to write and polish it a little, and it became an excellent work. After that, he paid for it himself and gave the student a reward of 10 yuan.He even regretted that his daughter was too young to be betrothed to the student. ⊙Li Hongzhang regards Prince Gong Yixin as a wise leader, and Prince Chun Yizhen as a bosom friend and comrade-in-arms.Whenever Li Hongzhang's reform encountered obstacles or setbacks, Prince Gong would escort him secretly, while Prince Chun would escort him openly, with a clear-cut banner and a clear and unambiguous attitude. ⊙In 1922, Chen Jiongming launched a coup in Guangzhou, and Sun Yat-sen was forced to go to Shanghai.Wu Zhihui made a special trip back from France and traveled between Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong to persuade Chen to repent. ⊙Wu Zhihui raised the flag for Chiang Kai-shek all his life, and made suggestions.When Jiang and the Guangdong faction confronted each other, Wu Zeng tricked his in-law Hu Hanmin into Nanjing and imprisoned him. (Note: Hu Hanmin is a Cantonese, a political representative of the Cantonese faction) ⊙ After Jiang Menglin divorced his first wife, he married Tao Zenggu, the widow of Gao Renshan, his close friend and colleague. After Gao Renshan was killed by the Feng faction warlord in 1928, Jiang Menglin took good care of his wife Tao Zenggu, and the two fell in love with each other.At the wedding, Jiang Menglin thanked the guests and said: "I love and respect Gao Renshan the most in my life, so I am willing to continue his voluntary education. Because I love Gao, I love the people he loved more, and love him even more. Only in this way can she be worthy of her deceased friend." ⊙Xu Guangbi and Wei Sijiong were close friends, and Xu introduced Sai Jinhua to Wei.Wei said: "Old sugarcane is sweet, and the older it is, the fresher it is."
