Chapter 5 The second round of drinking blood wine and joining the League will cut hair braids and make a scene at the embassy

Jingzong received the letter, and saw the words written on the skin: China trip, Shandong Jinan Middle School, Zhang Jingzong Hall, and the first writing of national equipment was sent from Asahilou Hotel, Kanda District, Tokyo.Jingzong knew that the letter was from Cao Yulin, and Guoqi was his name.Hastily opened it, took out the letter, and saw that it said: After Jingzong read it, he was a little surprised, so he put the letter in his arms and sat down in the room.Zhang Shun made tea for him, but he had no intention of drinking it, thinking that this matter must not be reported to the supervisor, Yulin wrote in the letter that he should not tell others, and the supervisor was also a member of the officialdom, he must have a headache when he heard the word revolution , Ming thought about sending us abroad, but didn't dare to let go.You have to think of an ingenious way to make him happy and send him off early, so that it will help the situation.After thinking about it for a while, suddenly luck came to my heart, and I got a clever plan, so I took the letter paper, wrote a fake letter in Yulin's handwriting, and then sealed it in Yulin's original letter, but hid Yulin's original letter beside me.After washing his face and adjusting his clothes, he went to the supervision room.First of all, I would like to say New Year greetings to the supervisor.The supervisor was very pleased with him, so he asked him to have dinner at the same table, and said to him, "Jingzong, you are such a good student, you came so early. In fact, the time to go abroad is at the end of February, so you might as well stay at home for a few more days." Jingzong took advantage of the situation Said: "The teacher doesn't know something. The student came early this time, and he still needs to ask the teacher for instructions. We always have to go abroad one month in advance." The supervisor hurriedly asked, "Why?" Uncle Cao Yulin, the teacher knows it. He sent a letter to his students, saying that Minister Cai of our country pays close attention to foreign students and plans to take an examination in person in mid-February. Even the supervisor who was originally sent to the school had to fill in the examination papers and ask for awards. Although the students' academic performance is not good, it is not guaranteed that they will not be able to get honors in the exam. Listed in the insurance case, it is a bit of a special honor to be praised by the emperor's family, and he has spent all his efforts in cultivating disciples." Jingzong's words penetrated into the supervisor's heart, and he asked with a smile on his face: " Is this true?" Jing Zong said: "How dare a student lie in front of the teacher, there is a letter to rely on." Then he took out the fake letter, which was fake on the outside, and handed it to the supervisor with both hands.The supervisor put on his glasses, looked at it in detail, handed it to Jingzong again, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Minister Cai is so sympathetic to talents. Even if he is a high-ranking official of the country, don't we have people who make students perfect? ​​He praises us but not It doesn't matter to us, but I hope that you students will show face for Shandong, and I will look good. Three of the four of you have already come, and I will send a telegram to that one today to urge him to come quickly. Teacher Fan I will go to see their supervisors, and they will be there in about three to five days. Once they are all here, I will issue the payment immediately, and you will go to Qingdao to board the ship together. Calculated from today, if it is soon, it will be completed within ten days To Tokyo." Jingzong thanked again and again, saying that it was all thanks to his teacher's cultivation.When I went back to my room, I was amused, and said that I used a little trick, and this old man got into the trap.It can be seen that in the world, if you don't lie and be naughty, you will never succeed.

Sure enough, within three days, all the students from the middle school and the normal school who went abroad had arrived. At that time, they were given the disk fee, fifty yuan for foreign currency each, fifty yuan for the old man's ticket, and five hundred yuan for each person per year for tuition. The Office of Academic Affairs (the Department of Academic Affairs had not yet been established at that time) sent the sum to Japan, handed it over to the supervision of international students, and then distributed it to them on a monthly basis.These twelve people bid farewell to the teachers, teachers and friends of the hall, and were led by the supervisor of the Academic Affairs Office to meet the commander-in-chief.The commander-in-chief Yuan Gong really encouraged him, saying that he should concentrate on his studies and never make trouble with the revolutionary party.In the future, when you return to your country after studying, this department will be reused, and everyone has repeatedly said that.The next day, I took the Jiaoji bus to Qingdao.At that time, Qingdao was still a German concession, and the western-style buildings and streets were neatly repaired.We waited for the ship and stayed in the hotel for two days. Just in time for the Nagasaki Maru Yusen from Japan to arrive in Qingdao, everyone bought third-class tickets. When we got on the ship, there was no delay, and the cruise departed that night.Jingzong was fine on board, so he wrote an express letter to inform Yulin that there was a post box on the ship, and he put it in the box, and when he anchored in Nagasaki, he sent it away from the dry land first.Fortunately, the weather was in February, and there were no strong waves in the ocean. As expected, we sailed to Yokohama within ten days.At this time, Yulin had already received Jingzong's letter, so she gathered a few close friends and prepared to go to Yokohama Wharf to meet Jingzong's group.These few close friends of his are all well-known figures in the field of studying abroad, they are all young people, and they are studying in the same school as Cao Yulin.I heard that Yulin's relatives were coming to the east, and everyone was going to welcome them. It was estimated that Nagasaki Maru would be able to come to the shore in the afternoon of this day, so we took a bus together to Yokohama and went straight to the pier to wait for the reception.After a while, the Nagasaki Maru was imported, Yulin and the others all took off their hats and held them up high as a sign of welcome.The twelve people who came at this time were also standing on the deck of the boat. Jingzong was quick-eyed. He had seen Yulin a long time ago, so he asked everyone to take off their hats together to express his gratitude.When the boat docked when she was young, Yulin clapped her hands together with everyone as a welcome gift when they first met.Yulin led a group of people to jump into the small boat, and then climbed the ladder to the big boat together, and they all shook hands next to each other.Jing Zongdao: "It's so far away. Uncle Lao came here to greet him. I really can't afford it. Uncle Lao is very disturbed by himself. Why do you work with all the gentlemen?" Yulin laughed and said, "What's the matter? Fortunately, Tokyo is not far from Yokohama. If you are newcomers, if you don’t have a guide, you will have to delay for two more days. Now that we have met, we can go to Tokyo today. Let’s all go to the hotel, have dinner there, rest, and take the night bus back Tokyo is just right."

So everyone followed Yulin to the Songyan Hotel, handed the luggage tag to the staff, and within a short time, all the luggage was brought.Jingzong's twelve people lived on the boat for seven or eight days. Although there was no wind or waves, they were a bit shaken and felt uncomfortable.Now in the hotel, she cleanses her face and drinks tea, immediately refreshed, and asks Yulin for the names of the people who came with her.Yulin hurriedly introduced her to her and said, "This person's surname is Jin, his name is Guo'an, and he's from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. This person's surname is Lu, his name is Shaozu, and his name is Zhongfang, and he's from Fengxiang, Shaanxi. This person's surname is Zhang, and his name is Guangyuan, and his name is Boyuan. A native of Cangzhou, Zhili. This man, surnamed Wang, named Jinhai and styled Yushan, is from Daxing, Shuntian. These four are all my classmates and friends, and they are all generous and ambitious men. Twelve of them will become leaders in the future, so they will naturally know that what I said is true." So everyone in Jingzong said some polite words that he had admired for a long time.After dinner, we all took the overnight train to Tokyo and stayed at the Asahiro Hotel in Kanda Ward.Jingzong told Yulin all the twists and turns, how to coax the supervisor, and how to advance one month.Yulin scolded: "These bureaucrats who lack heart and heart and are not human know how to get promoted and get rich to protect their cases. The Manchu and puppet courts can also use these things to imprison them. The old cousin's strategy is exactly what he likes, how can he do it?" It won’t work.” Yulin also made plans for Jingzong, instead of going to their ordinary school, it’s better to take a year of Dong Wen and Dong language specialization first, and in the future, she can directly listen to the lectures, and then enter his higher specialization, so as to avoid detours.Jingzong listened to Yulin's command in all matters, and he was very talented. Sure enough, after a year, he was proficient in both Chinese and Eastern languages.Jing Zong was originally a beautiful person. He saw that several famous Chinese students in his school were all loudly advocating the full revolution, and he followed behind, talking impassionedly.So everyone cited him as a comrade, saying that despite his young age, he was a bloody man.After coming and going, Jingzong's reputation grew.At that time, among the radicals who advocated revolution, first was Zhang Guangyuan, followed by Cao Yulin, Jin Guoan, Lu Shaozu, and Zhang Jingzong. .The courageous students all regarded the five of them as their revolutionary mentors, but the timid ones did not dare to get close to them. When they saw them on weekdays, they would hide from a distance for fear of being suspected.The five of them are all contemptuous of this kind of students.Therefore, those who agree with them call them the Five Heroes, and those who oppose them call them the Five Fiends.The five of them became more and more proud of this, not only talking about the revolution, but also writing books and advocating it everywhere.From then on, his reputation grew, and even Minister Cai had five of his names in his ears.

But at this time, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the originator of the revolution, traveled all over Southeast Asia, Europe, America, giving speeches and advocating revolution everywhere.Although there were many comrades, after all, there were not many people studying in the West at that time.What Mr. Sun means is that he always wants to instill revolutionary ideas into the minds of students so that they can have great effects in the future.Hearing that there were seven or eight thousand people studying in Tokyo, the old man made up his mind to come to Tokyo to spread his revolutionary seeds.I sent a telegram to the Chinese Overseas Students Association in advance, saying that I am determined to come to Tokyo, Japan from Nanyang in mid-August, to discuss with you, to connect with each other, and to discuss the fate of our country.When everyone received this telegram, they held a meeting to discuss it. Some advocated to welcome it, while others insisted on ignoring it, and even the timid one, when they heard the word Sun Yat-sen, their countenance changed with fright, as if they had heard the names of their parents. And smell, can't get it out of the mouth, hang your head and say nothing.A young hero was irritated in the audience, and he stood up and said to everyone: "What happened today, I, Xu Tianqi, was not angry, but our students are too impersonal! Mr. Sun ran for the revolution to fight for the freedom of our Han people, so as to get rid of the Qing Dynasty. How can we welcome Mr. Sun! How much we should worship him! His old man is willing to come and give us advice, which is exactly what we ask for, so why refuse to ignore it? Is it not enough to be a slave after three hundred years? This is really puzzling." Before Xu Tianqi finished speaking, five people including Zhang Guangyuan, Zhang Jingzong, Cao Yulin, Lu Shaozu, and Jin Guoan clapped their hands together and gave speeches in turn. One time, one is more intense than the other.Later, Zhang Guangyuan advocated standing up for those who were in favor of welcome. At this time, even those who disapproved did not dare to stand up. There were a total of forty people, all of whom were directors and deputy officers of the overseas study programs in various provinces. objection.So I called Mr. Sun in the name of all the foreign students, and I am very welcome.Sun Yat-sen got a reply and knew that the majority of the overseas study circles were in favor of the revolution, so he came to Tokyo happily and happily.We went to the station to welcome one or two thousand people.Mr. Sun lived in the Tokipan Hall. He first contacted the overseas student officers of various provinces for a while, and then held regular speech meetings, which were initiated by Xu Tianqi and Zhang Guangyuan. All students who came to listen to the speeches had to pay five yuan each as a membership fee. .After speaking for two days in a row, he actually collected seven or eight thousand yuan and gave it all to Mr. Sun to prepare for the revolution.Mr. Sun fought another autumn wind among the merchants in their wide gang, and unexpectedly got more than 10,000 yuan.This time Tokyo was not in vain. Mr. Sun thanked Zhang Guangyuan and his group for their help, so he prepared a good table in the Chinese restaurant Weichunyuan and invited these students as a reward.Xu Tianqi is also from Cantonese, and he and Mr. Sun are from the same hometown, so they are naturally very close.Everyone drank to their ears and started talking about state affairs.Zhang Guangyuan yelled at the demon of the Manchu dictatorship. If he is not overthrown, China will never have a good day.Jin Guoan said: "In the future when we return to our country, we must kill the Mannu and the traitors loyal to the Mannu with bombs, so as to awaken the people and establish a revolutionary foundation." Yes, I am determined not to be an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not to eat the salary of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but to spread the seeds of revolution in the middle of the country. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will do it hard once, keep working hard, never give up, and the day will always reach my goal "Cao Yulin said: "The cause of revolution is great, and it must have internal support, so it will be easy to succeed in the future. You don't have to be afraid of being an official, as long as you don't change your revolutionary heart, you will be more effective in the future." Xu Tianqi nodded in admiration and said: "Brother Cao His words are really scheming, and they are far from others." Lu Shaozu said: "Revolutionary career, talent and money, both are indispensable. If I want to achieve my ambition in the future, I must accumulate money to support the revolution. As the saying goes, money can It’s a godsend, as long as you have money, you can easily succeed in keeping the revolution.” Mr. Sun applauded and said: “Brother Lu’s words are right. I have been running the revolution for almost twenty years, so the reason for the failure is because of economic difficulties. This time I plan to go to the United States from Japan, most of our overseas Chinese businessmen in the United States have a lot of money, if they can be said to win their hearts, hundreds of thousands of huge sums of money will not be difficult to deal with." The more they talked, the happier they became, and Mr. Sun suddenly Picking up the jug, he filled the glass with a cup of sake (note: there is a kind of sake in Japan, its color and taste are not much different from the shochu in our country, except that it is slightly weaker), and then took out the knife that he carried with him, and used it The tip of the knife pierced the middle finger of his left hand, and blood flowed out immediately, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the glass, dripping down.After a while, the wine in the glass has been dyed light red.He casually handed the knife to Xu Tianqi, and Tianqi also dropped it.Passed it to Zhang Guangyuan again, Guangyuan stabbed it hard, blood flowed so much that it also dripped into the cup.Then he passed the knife to Cao Yulin, Yulin took it, her face changed, she seemed to want to pierce, but she refused to do it, but she looked at Zhang Lujin and the three of them, and the three of them also looked a little uneasy.Guangyuan looked a little unhappy, stretched out his hand to grab the knife, took Yulin's hand again, and pricked it on the middle finger without any explanation. dropping.Seeing the situation, Zhang Lujin and the three knew that they couldn't avoid it, so why bother to make a fool of themselves, they reluctantly passed them all.Then Mr. Sun declared to the public: "This year, this month, today, Sun Wen, Zhang Guangyuan, Cao Yulin, Zhang Jingzong, Lu Shaozu, Jin Guoan, and Xu Tianqi, discussed the cause of revolution at the Weichunyuan banquet, and sympathized with each other. Therefore, blood is an alliance. , Join the League. Do your best to restore the freedom of the Han people. The stone is rotten and the sea is dry, and the heart will never change. The emperor and the land, I heard this, there is a Yujin alliance, and the gods will die together." The declaration is over, and the blood wine is handed over Give Guangyuan a sip of all of them in order.At the end of the day, Mr. Sun took it and drank the rest.Then he took out the alliance card that he carried with him, filled in his name and surname one by one, each of them took one, chatted some gossip, and then dispersed.Xu Tianqi and Mr. Sun lived in the same hotel, and they chatted. Mr. Sun sighed to him: "My brother and Zhang Boyuan are worthy of being good men. In the future, there will be more glory in the history of the revolution. As for the four, I can't guarantee it." Already." Tianqi hurriedly asked why?Mr. Sun said: "Revolutions are caused by bloodshed. When the four gentlemen refused to sacrifice the blood on their fingers, how could they sacrifice the blood on their necks? They refused to spend even a drop of blood. Can you spend all your blood?" Tianqi also nodded and sighed.

The next day, Mr. Sun went to the United States by boat.Unexpectedly, what they said in Weichun Garden caused great controversy.It turned out that on this day, Han Jian, the clerk of the Chinese embassy, ​​was also entertaining guests in the garden, separated from their room by a board wall. They talked loudly there, and Han Jian listened to them all.Later, through the cracks in the plank wall, they peeked at them forging a blood alliance and inadvertently detected a major case.When we returned to the embassy after dinner, we told Minister Cai everything.You may ask what is the origin of Minister Cai. He is originally from Fujian, and he made a living selling rice in Nanyang.Later, Zuo Zongtang became the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. He worked as an interpreter in the governor's office. His English and Japanese are all very good. Zuo Zongtang appreciated him very much, so he guaranteed him as an alternate. road.He had plenty of money, and once bought a pair of Japanese beauties and presented them to a certain prince, the minister of military aircraft, along with a lot of exotic treasures from East and West, so a certain prince secretly protected him as a diplomat capable of serving as a minister of envoy.Later, there was a vacancy in the Japanese embassy, ​​and the Qing court decreed that he was specially appointed as the Minister of Envoy to Japan.He was promoted from a Taoist priest to a minister, and he was really super moved. Naturally, he was entrusted with the emperor's grace and inherited the royal family.After arriving in Japan, he was always thinking about the map of gratitude. At this time, the number of students studying abroad was increasing, and the majority of them advocated revolution. He secretly reported to the court, please inform the provinces not to send students for the time being. So as not to cause chaos by heresy.Originally, the Qing government was afraid of hearing the word "revolution". After seeing his secret report, there was no reason for it to be inappropriate. In addition to ordering the provinces, they sent him a telegram telling him to investigate at any time.If any of the students advocated revolution, the tuition fees would be withheld, and the extradition request from the Japanese government would be sent to the embassy to return to China for punishment.Since the envoy Cai received the secret decree, he sent his confidantes to visit teahouses and restaurants secretly.Zhang Guangyuan and his group advocate revolution loudly when they make speeches on weekdays, and Minister Cai's ears are already full.However, in the world of studying abroad, eight out of ten people are always like this. The word "revolution" has become a fashionable catchphrase. If you deal with it severely all at once, you will be punished as an example to others.When Sun Yat-sen came to Tokyo this time, the envoy Cai paid special attention to it. Whenever he gave a speech, he not only sent someone to listen to it, but also disguised himself to visit secretly.That day when the student saw the flaw, Zhang Guangyuan gave him a wink, some of them were rude, so he tried to go over and beat him.Cai envoy saw that things were not going well, so he ran away with his head in his arms, so he became more and more resentful.It so happened that Mr. Sun and this group of people joined the alliance in Weichun Garden, and was seen by the clerk Han Jian, who reported it to Cai envoy on the same day.The envoy Cai wrote down all the names of these people, and the next day he wrote a letter to Oshima, the Tokyo police chief, requesting the extradition of these people.Unexpectedly, Da Dao not only refused, but returned an official document, saying a lot of harsh words, saying that in the public laws of all countries, there is no provision for the extradition of political prisoners. Still don't understand the law?Besides, your country’s bad politics is recognized by all the Western and Eastern powers. The students studying in your country are here to advocate revolution. How can I interfere with them again, please don't think about it.Envoy Cai hit a snag head-on, and was dejected. He had no choice but to think about the next thing, so he ordered the supervisor of studying abroad to withhold the tuition fees of these six people.Others can do it, but only Zhang Guangyuan suffers, because those five people are all rich, and the embassy does not pay tuition fees. They write letters back to ask for money from their families. Find a way.He also approached the supervisor of studying abroad several times, and the supervisor always pushed on the minister, saying: "I am happy to help you, but the minister's instructions are very strict. If you give you a money, he will tell me and say I have an affair with the revolution, do you think I can bear such a crime? In any case, you have to forgive me." Guangyuan was originally a generous man. Make hate into the bone marrow.I secretly thought, if such a traitor is like this, it is better to warn him once, even though I sacrificed my tuition, I will show my anger in the end.

One day at noon, he took a pair of extremely sharp Japanese scissors, and went to the embassy to hand over a fake business card, which was Zhang Dexiang—he knew that Zhang Dexiang and Cai Envoy were from the same hometown, and he would definitely meet him under the guise of a name. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the film to be delivered, and the word came out that please sit in the living room.Guangyuan walked into the living room, saw that the carpet wall covering, electric lamp sofa, everything was complete, and the furnishings were very gorgeous, so he sat down facing in.When envoy Cai came out and stepped into the living room when he was young, he turned his face, bowed to envoy Cai, and said with a smile: "Please forgive my abruptness, minister. I am not Zhang Dexiang, but Zhang Guangyuan." Envoy Cai recognized him at first, so he was surprised , I was taken aback.He wanted to go back, because it was not good-looking, so he had to force himself to be perfunctory, and asked Guangyuan to sit down.He laughed and said, "If you come to see me, just say that you can't see me. Why do you pretend to be someone else's name?" The emissary said: "You came here for the tuition fee. I want to explain this level to you. Think about it for yourself. You came here to study with the money of the emperor's family. You originally studied for the royal family after you have completed your studies. Now you are working all day long." Is there such a reason in the world that you want to kill the emperor's family? How can I not withhold your tuition fees? If you rehabilitate yourself and never talk about revolution from today, I will not only pay you tuition fees, but also pay your tuition fees. Special reward for you!" Before Cai Envoy finished his words, Zhang Guangyuan, who was impassioned and high-spirited, was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "You're farting! Shut up, my tuition is paid for by our compatriots." Anointing people's fat is not Mannu's private savings. You group of thieves are willing to serve as slaves to Manqing, and you want to hold down the heads of all of us and serve him as slaves. To tell you the truth, I, Zhang Guangyuan, are good friends of the Han nationality. Man, your head can be broken, and the word revolution cannot be changed. I will ask you today whether the tuition fee will be paid or not, and I will wait for your answer. You don’t need to mention anything else.” Then he stood up and stared wide-eyed. Round, looking straight at Minister Cai.As soon as Cai envoy saw that the background was not good, he wanted to say it, but he was afraid of losing face;Deliberately calling for someone to arrest Guangyuan, he was too far away to rescue him, for fear of opening his mouth, he acted first when he was in a hurry, but it was self-defeating.In a flash of quick wit, he also stood up, smiled and said to Guangyuan: "Don't you want tuition fees? I have foreign money tickets in my back house. I will give you a hundred money first. You can wait here." How could Guangyuan be fooled if he wanted to walk away?Hastily stretched out his hand to pull him to say no, but he flicked his sleeves and ran away.At this time, Guangyuan was really in a hurry, he pulled out the scissors and started to chase after him.Although there were a few servants in the embassy, ​​everyone peeped outside the hall and saw that Zhang Guangyuan was a vicious man. They were afraid that he was carrying a pistol and bomb.So everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one wanted to stand up.Later, the minister ran out of the hall, Guangyuan was holding sharp scissors, and chased after him. Everyone was afraid of getting stuck, so they all avoided.Guangyuan has been chasing into the back house, running two steps closely, end to end, the envoy jumped up the steps, Guangyuan also stepped up, stretched out his left hand, grabbed the envoy's braid, and cut it with scissors with his right hand. She cut off three inches of hair and put it in the pocket of the western coat. At this time, Cai Envoy had already run into the house.Guangyuan wanted to chase again, and a person came out of the house to block the door. Guangyuan saw it, and he backed up a few steps, not daring to go any further.If you want to ask who can stop Guangyuan, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
