There were many organizations similar to the Huaxing Society in the late Qing Dynasty. Although the Huaxing Society took some confidentiality measures, it was obvious that Huang Xing and others were the first to set up a society and lacked experience, so they were eventually discovered by the Qing government.
The whistleblower happened to be Wang Xianqian, the dean of Yuelu Academy.
——This old man is really partying with the revolution.
Li Yu said to Huang Xing: "Oka...Brother Okamoto must act cautiously in the future. Although the situation is already precarious, it is best not to act rashly if the first bird is shot."
Huang Xing immediately agreed: "I remember what brother Yu Li said. We will not act lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."
Li Yu felt relieved now: "Hope is as airtight as Brother Okamoto's name."
Huang Xing was slightly startled: "What does it have to do with my name?"
"Um, it's nothing... I just thought that the word 'gang' means hill. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood." Li Yu came back unexpectedly.
Huang Xing was very moved. No matter what, revolution is a dangerous thing with your head tied to your waistband. He cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, brother Yu Li, we will definitely continue to cooperate in the future. At that time, I will repay you with a bright future."
Chen Tianhua suddenly jumped out and said: "I'm afraid that all the green mountains will be burned to ashes."
Huang Xing said: "Xiansu, there are 40 million people in China, so we can afford it."
Xiansu is Chen Tianhua’s pseudonym.
Chen Tianhua has always been impatient: "If we don't push forward big things, it will be too late. Although there are 40 million people in the country, everyone seems to be in a dream."
Huang Xing taught him a lesson: "If you read more history books, how can anyone achieve great things overnight? How can you do anything if you don't have any patience?"
Li Yu thought for a while and said to Chen Tianhua: "If things go wrong in the future, you can come to my company and research laboratory. There are many ways to serve the country. This is also a way to do practical things down-to-earth."
Chen Tianhua said: "Brother Yu Li, you are one of the rare people who can be respected by foreigners. If that day comes, I will do this."
Li Yu said with a smile: "I have said before that sometimes respect is important, and sometimes it is not important at all. Especially if foreigners respect me or not, I don't care at all."
Chen Tianhua was surprised: "This is what many people dream of. After all, foreigners have always looked down on us."
Li Yu knew that Chen Tianhua committed suicide two years later because Japan promulgated the "Regulations on Banning International Students from the Qing Dynasty" and said that Chinese students studying abroad were a "indulgent and despicable" group, so he fought to death in order to awaken the world.
But there is always a better way, such as Lu Xun’s approach.
——If the human blood steamed buns were dipped in your own blood, it would not be enough and it would not alert many people.
Li Yu said: "Respect is earned slowly, and we cannot live in the eyes of others. Especially foreigners, they want us to sink all the time and keep harvesting them like leeks, so even if they respect us, what can they do?"
Song Jiaoren said from the side: "Brother Yu Li is worthy of being an imperial master. He has such a high level. I really admire you! You are right. Not only the British, but also the French and now the Japanese have just defeated us. They also have high esteem for everything." , but if we are higher than them in the future, it won’t matter whether we respect them or not.”
"That's what it means." Li Yu agreed.
Chen Tianhua's life can be saved, after all, the method of suicide is not worth dying.
And although he is a bit radical in his actions, his mind is actually quite flexible and his memory is very superior.
Chen Tianhua nodded: "I remember."
Li Yu said with a smile: "Not only do you want to do big things, but I also want to do big things in the future. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you may get unexpected surprises if you come to me."
Huang Xing said happily: "I know it is difficult to succeed in what we are doing, but is it too early for Brother Li to poach people now?"
Li Yu laughed loudly: "Get a vaccination."
Huang Xing and his Huaxing Association have just been established and do not yet have a specific action plan. This shows the immaturity of the organization.
Only slogans are not enough?
However, Huang Xing and the others have learned a lot of lessons from this incident, which will be helpful for working with Mr. Zhongshan in the future.
After Li Yu stayed for a long time, he said goodbye and left.
He could not stay in the two lakes for too long, so he made an appointment to board the boat and prepared to return to Shanghai.
——
He was a little bored on the boat. When Li Yu was looking at the Yangtze River on the deck, someone suddenly came over and said, "The rivers are crisscrossed and the mountains are fertile."
"What?" Li Yu was confused, "Are you talking to me?"
He looked back and saw that he was a middle-aged man.
The other party was also stunned, then said: "Nothing, I just think the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River is refreshing and refreshing."
Li Yu saw that he was well dressed and had a flexible and strong body. He was not an ordinary person, so he asked: "Who is your Excellency?"
"The more you are down, the more peaceful you will be."
"What a rare surname," Li Yu said, "it seems to come from ancient times."
"Yes, it must have originated from Goujian during the troubled times of the Warring States Period." Yue Pinglong said.
Li Yu thought: "Warring States?"
Yue Pinglong said: "Heroes emerge in troubled times. The Warring States and the Three Kingdoms were both fascinating eras."
Li Yu shrugged his eyebrows. How could a Chinese person make such a mistake?
In addition to his rhetoric, he is probably Japanese, because the Japanese admire the Warring States and the Three Kingdoms extremely.
Li Yu went straight to the point: "Your Excellency shouldn't be called Yue Pinglong, right? What kind of king should you be called?"
Yue Pinglong opened his mouth, and immediately realized that he had revealed his secret: "Who are you, sir? At first I saw that you had short hair, and I thought you were also Japanese."
"Yeah?" Li Yu said, "Are you really Japanese?"
Yue Pinglong said: "Yes, I, Xiao Yue Pinglong, am a Japanese scholar."
"Scholar?" Li Yu was suspicious.
Xiao Yue Pinglong took out a book: "This book was written by me and translated into Chinese by someone from your country."
Li Yu looked at the title of the book, "Travel in Manchuria".
I immediately guessed that he was an intelligence agent sent by Japan to investigate China, but if I insist on being a scholar, he seems to be passable.
Xiao Yuepinglong said: "I have traveled across China for many years, and not many people can recognize my identity. Who are you?"
Li Yu felt that there was no need to hide it: "I'm Li Yu."
Xiaoyue Pinglong was shocked: "It turns out to be the national master!"
Li Yu said: "I'm afraid the term "guoshi" is not used correctly."
Xiao Yue Pinglong is not a professional spy, and there are many flaws in it, but he immediately smiled and said: "Fortunately, your Majesty is not a national teacher."
Li Yu roughly turned over the book in his hand and sighed: "Sir, you really have good intentions."
Xiaoyue Pinglong said: "Sir's tone is a bit strange. The translation of this book will definitely be helpful to your country. Now I want to understand the Northeast, and there is no information better than this book."
Li Yu asked: "Can you lend me this book for reference?"
Xiao Yue Pinglong did not stop him: "Your Majesty, please do so. It is my honor to meet you."
Anyway, I have heard "honor" many times, but when it comes from a Japanese person's mouth, it is really touching.
This book is also called "The Record of White Mountains and Black Waters". When you hear the name, it means the land of Manchuria.
Hirakata Kogoshi was one of many people sent by Japan to China to spy on intelligence. Although his book later claimed to be to help China resist Tsarist Russia, Li Yu, as a time traveler, could see his ambition at a glance.
Unfortunately, although this book was translated into Chinese in Shanghai a year ago, it did not attract much attention. Many people naively thought that Japan was really helping China resist Tsarist Russia.
Especially after Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War a year later, this sentiment became even more prevalent.
Li Yu opened the preface and found that the Chinese translator named Zhao Bizhen also vaguely understood Japan's intentions, and wrote in the preface: "Manchuria is the land of our country. I will not run it to prevent Russia, others will do it for me."
I've managed to protect myself from it. Alas! How different!"
Hirataka Kogoshi was already working very hard, but compared to the later dedicated Japanese spies, he was still a bit behind.
While Li Yu was studying on the ship, several students from Dong Ya Tong Wen College in Shanghai were having a gathering.
A Japanese student, Kenjiro Hayade, said: "Senior Akiyuki has a heavy mission here. Brother Hatano and I bid farewell to you."
Kenjiro Hayade is a student of Toa Doubun Academy, but he is one class later than Konoe Akiyuki, and he is the second class student.
Although Konoe Akiyuki is a distant branch of the Konoe family, she has the upper hand. The head of the family, Konoe Atsumaro, saw her potential when he saw her by chance and specially trained her as a senior agent.
The Konoe family has always admired extremism. Akiyuki Konoe was affected and hoped to do something to make his family's distant branches no longer so far away.
So he decided to enter Toa Doubun Academy founded by Konoe Atsumaro.
Konoe Akiyuki said to the two of them: "The two juniors will soon be assigned tasks, and we will be separated from each other from now on."
Kenjiro Hayade later worked as Puyi's translator, and he and another Hatano Yosaku were both excellent students in the second period.
Hayashide Kenjiro said: "I want to sing "Atsumori" for Senior Aoyuki as a farewell song."
Konoe Akiyuki said: "Xie Lin Chujun."
Kenjiro Hayade took out a folding fan, stood up, danced and sang:
"Fifty years of life are like a dream and an illusion. How can a person who is alive once be immortal?"
This is a very famous Atsei dance by Oda Nobunaga of Japan.
Hatano Yosaku applauded: "Hayin De-kun really has the style of a general."
Hayashide Kenjiro sat back and said: "From now on, I don't know if I can see Sister Aoyuki again. Missing her makes me tortured."
Hatano Yosaku stopped clapping, but he didn't expect Kenjiro Hayade to reveal his thoughts directly.
Konoe Akiyuki had long seen that Hayashide Kenjiro was interested in him, his eyes were flowing, but he immediately said: "Hayashide-san should miss the cherry blossoms in his hometown more."
At first it was "Kun", but now it's "Sang". Hayashide Kenjiro heard that Konoe Akiyuki was trying to distance himself.
But a few glances from Konoe Akiyuki made his heart sway. He took out a bottle of wine and said, "This is sake brewed by me from my hometown Wakayama. I have been reluctant to drink it since I brought it here, but today if I don't share it with you,
I’m afraid we won’t have a chance to drink with Senior Sister Zhaoxue.”
Konoe Aki looked at the sake in front of him and smiled slightly: "My younger brother is my younger brother."
Kenjiro Hayade retreated to the next best thing and immediately said: "I would like to be my senior's younger brother forever."
Konoe Akiyuki picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp: "You'd better complete the tasks assigned by the empire first, otherwise you won't have the face to see me."
The snow-white neck exposed when Konoe Akiyuki raised her head to drink, almost stunned Hayashide Kenjiro. After listening to her words, he immediately drank the wine in the glass: "I will definitely not betray the great cause of the empire!"
Although later generations knew that the Dong Ya Dou Bun Yun run by the Japanese was a super spy organization, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, not many Chinese people knew about it.
Even in 1901, the college relocated and held an opening ceremony. The opening ceremony was attended not only by Viscount Nagaoka Moromi, the vice-president of the Japanese East Asia Doubenkai, and Odagiri Manjunosuke, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, but also by many domestic officials.
For example, the then Governor of Liangjiang and Minister of Nanyang Liu Kunyi sent Yuan Xunshu, the representative of Shanghai Daotai, the representative of Huguang Governor Zhang Zhidong was Shanghai County Magistrate Liu Yi, and the Minister of Railways Sheng Xuanhuai went to the scene in person.
There were hundreds of Chinese and Japanese people there that day.
Later, Zhang Zhidong also presented a stone inscription with the Book of Songs to the academy as a souvenir.
I have to say that the Japanese are really bad at engaging in espionage.
Later, after visiting the academy, a British officer heard a Chinese official lament: "In 1870, during the war between Germany and France, the Germans knew more about France than the French; and the Japanese knew China better than
beyond the Chinese people’s understanding of their own country.”
From the first class of Donga Doubun Academy students to the defeat of Japan, the academy has conducted surveys through travel and other methods for 45 years, with more than 5,000 participants and more than 700 travel routes. The number of travel routes for students from the 5th to 42nd semester alone was as high as
676, covering all provinces in China except Tibet.
Individual investigation teams have even reached as far as Southeast Asia, Russian Siberia and the Far East.
It's the world's largest travel survey.
The content of the travel investigation was all-encompassing. They left behind 32 travel diaries and billions of words of investigation reports. Their depth and breadth exceeded any investigation of China by previous governments before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The longest trip was Kenjiro Hayade's investigation trip to Xinjiang, which lasted 274 days. He trekked the Tianshan North Road and reached Ili on the Sino-Russian border.
In fact, after the establishment of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, for the sake of common interests, the two sides agreed to cooperate in investigating Russia's power in the Far East.
The British side is responsible for the investigation from India to the southwest of Xinjiang, and the Japanese side is responsible for the investigation from Ili, Xinjiang to Kulum in Mongolia.
Hatano Yosaku also participated in this investigation, but the route was different from Kenjiro Hayade.
One takes the northern route, and the other takes the southern route of Tianshan.
It was precisely because his understanding of the country was even better than that of the Chinese that he was able to become Puyi's translator and by the way became an espionage agent placed beside Puyi.
Kenjiro Hayade was also a ruthless man. After entering Toa Doubun Academy, he did not return to his country for more than three years. He also wore Qing Dynasty pigtails and looked no different from the Chinese.
Kenjiro Hayade took out a Western sword and said, "This is the sword used by Senior Akiyuki in the fencing club."
Konoe Akiyuki said: "It's no longer needed, please put it back in the fencing club."
Kenjiro Hayade said: "I will take good care of it and look forward to practicing fencing with Akiyuki-senpai again."
Konoe Akira said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's just something external to me."
Then he stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
Kenjiro Hayade had tears in his eyes: "Take care!"
After Konoe Akijiro left, Kenjiro Hayade picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp. Hatano Yosaku on the side was shocked: "Such a good wine, leave some for me!"
——
When Li Yu arrived in Shanghai, Bu Fangji, the president of St. John's University, and Shi Liangcai of Shenbao found him.
Bu Fangji said: "There are already students who can't wait to go north to the capital. I didn't expect you to come back so late."
Li Yu quickly said: "Sorry, I went to Changsha temporarily."
Shi Liangcai said: "I have good news for you. After the notice was released, we recruited a very good person."
Li Yu asked: "How good can it be?"
Shi Liangcai said: "This man is proficient in English, Japanese, Russian and French, and he understands international trade and the laws of various countries. He is simply a genius!"
Li Yu was surprised: "Is there really such a person?"
Shi Liangcai said: "Of course! I think she should be able to become the best board secretary-level key person, and she is also a beautiful young woman."
"Ah?" Li Yu was even more surprised.
Shi Liangcai smiled and said: "The notice said that there will be no gender discrimination, you won't refuse to recruit, right?"
Li Yu said: "If this is really the case, I'm afraid it will be a waste of talent."
Shi Liangcai said: "It would be a waste of talent not to go to you! I will take you to see her. Talents cannot be found all the time. The most lacking people in the country now are people like this! We must not let people
Be the first to arrive and snatch away outstanding talents!"
