Chapter 70 Chapter Three: Assassinations Are Scarier Than Uprisings

Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen got together in the revolutionary era. One of them was a great visionary, the other was a great doer; one was a great revolutionist, and the other was a great builder.When Yuan Shikai, as a builder, destroyed the empire by means of construction, the "four bandits in the late Qing Dynasty" headed by Sun Yat-sen (referring to Sun Yat-sen, Chen Shaobai, You Lie, and Yang Heling) were born out of nowhere. Sun Yat-sen admired Hong Xiuquan the most throughout his life. He hoped that he could become Hong Xiuquan's second. He was willing to use Hong Xiuquan's method to form an ideal country and destroy this established empire.Why does he think so?It's very simple, because he has come into contact with some advanced ideas from overseas.

In his early years, Sun Yat-sen was not so radical.He once went to see Li Hongzhang and made a suggestion that China should make the best use of its people and resources.At that time Li Hongzhang also said, your suggestion is really good, but how to implement it? In this regard, Sun Yat-sen considered left and right, and found that there was only one method—revolution, and none of the other methods seemed to work.Sun Yat-sen and Li Hongzhang could not go together, and since then he has embarked on a revolutionary road against the Qing Dynasty.So who are his supporters?It's Japanese.There is such a group of people in Japan who have been looking for heroes everywhere in China, and they can join forces with them to restore China. At the right time, Sun Yat-sen came into their sight.In this way, a new era has come.

When the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing, another incident was going on in Guangzhou.In other words, the first uprising led by Sun Yat-sen happened exactly at the same time as the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing.The uprising received the full support of the Japanese, but then the Japanese withdrew their support.why? Because there are thousands of Japanese who have entered Beijing, and now there are Japanese making trouble in Guangzhou, the Chinese government will not be happy.However, this is just the beginning. After several failed uprisings in a row, Sun Yat-sen found that he needed a slogan to inspire him, and he himself did not have the ability to come up with this slogan.But at this time, a generation of thinkers Zou Rong was born, and his "Revolutionary Army" was published.It was first published in a yellow tabloid "Su Bao", and only that kind of strange newspaper would publish such a strange article.As soon as the article was published, it shocked the Qing Dynasty.

In the article "Revolutionary Army", Zou Rong clearly stated that in order to restore China, it is necessary to wage a life-and-death struggle with the Aixinjueluo family. At that time, the imperial court exclaimed, "This book is against the chaos, and it has never been seen before."Soon afterwards, Zou Rongyu, the author of "Revolutionary Army", died in prison, but the slogan of revolution has since resounded all over China. Sun Yat-sen launched ten consecutive armed uprisings in the country with this slogan. What was the effect? not so.Aixinjue Luo made it very clear: revolution is not scary.Why is revolution not scary?Because the revolution sheds other people's blood.There is another sentence after this sentence: Only assassination is terrible.Because the assassination shed his own blood.Aixinjueluo is not afraid of you launching a revolution in any place, whether you are in Guangzhou or Hunan, you can make trouble as you like, I just send a few more people to suppress it, and I am not afraid of how many people die; but the assassination knife is at me Come, I have to be afraid.Looking into the destruction of the Qing Empire, Sun Yat-sen's assassination party should be the first to contribute.

However, the final demise of the empire was extremely accidental, and logically speaking, it was almost inconceivable.Tracing this history, it's pretty much made up of a string of coincidences.If any of these coincidences go wrong, there is no hope. First of all, at the headquarters of the Black Dragon Club in Tokyo, Japan, the Tongmenghui had several internal strife.Why infighting?One is that there is no money. The revolution needs money.In addition, there is also everyone's dissatisfaction with the leader Sun Yat-sen, and disappointment with the failure of uprisings again and again.

The split of the Tongmenghui outlines a secret topic of the Chinese revolution.By the way, who is the main revolutionary force in China?It's the Brotherhood.It can be said that the Chinese revolution was accomplished by the Gelaohui, and the continuation of the Chinese revolution is still being accomplished by the Gelaohui. The first old leader of the Gelaohui was Wang Xiufang, who was called a "four-legged pig" by people in the Jianghu, who could jump more than ten feet high on the ground.After the incident of the Six Gentlemen of 1898, Wang Xiufang joined forces with Kang Youwei to prepare troops to capture the king.

But after the matter was discussed, Kang Youwei did not send money to others, which caused Wang Xiufang's failure to raise troops, and the first old leader was killed just like that. After Wang Xiufang's death, Ma Fuyi, the second old leader of the Gelaohui, was even more amazing, one person could deal with dozens of people.Ma Fuyi conspired with Huang Xing and others from Huaxing Company to revolt, but failed. Ma Fuyi was also captured by the Qing army, and the second old leader of the Gelaohui also died. What is the name of the third old leader is always a mystery. He has dozens of names, but according to historical records, it should be Gong Chuntai.He launched a great uprising, but the uprising was suppressed, and more than 10,000 people died, all of them members of the Gelaohui.By this time, three elder leaders of the Gelaohui had died, and the death toll in the congregation had exceeded tens of thousands. They had formed an irresolvable blood feud with the Qing people.

Jiao Dafeng, the fourth old leader of the Gelaohui, fled to Japan, found Sun Yat-sen, and joined the Tongmenghui.He hoped to use the power of Sun Yat-sen to revive the world, but he soon found that Sun Yat-sen was not able to do so. In a rage, he created a Gongjin Association himself.At that time, Huang Xing was very angry when he heard this. Jiao Dafeng said: You are splitting the alliance.Jiao Dafeng said: Whoever gets things done depends on whoever is the main one.If you succeed, I will take you as the master; if I succeed, you will take me as the master.Huang Xing was half dead with anger, but there was nothing he could do about Jiao Dafeng, this was a split in the League.In fact, the Tongmenghui split many times, but this time the seeds of the Wuchang Uprising were planted.
