After about half a year, the Chinese Revolutionary Party finally established a firm foothold in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. However, gaining a firm foothold today does not mean that it can fully control the political power of a place or obtain political power like it did during the Great Revolution.
The support of the local government is just a few relatively safe places to stay and a certain size of organizational members.
Today is very different from the past. The failure of the second revolution caused too heavy losses to the revolutionary party.
At the corner of the southern corner of Gascoigne Avenue in Kowloon, Hong Kong, is a three-storey small building that had its exterior wall painted not long ago. This is the secret branch of the Chinese Revolutionary Party in Hong Kong. Today, the British have no confidence in the Chinese revolutionary forces.
The policy is not friendly, so external activities still need to be kept confidential.
Originally, this small building was very dilapidated, and the revolutionaries finally took over it after a lot of work. Later, due to lack of funds, even the decoration and addition of furnishings to the small building were delayed for a long time, until
Recently, I finally raised tens of thousands of dollars from old friends from the Tongmenghui, and I had the opportunity to simply repaint the small building.
The person who was previously in charge of the operation of the Hong Kong branch was Hu Yisheng. However, just two months ago, Liao Zhongkai went to Hong Kong on the order of Sun Yat-sen to coordinate party affairs and was fully responsible for organizing the preliminary activities of anti-imperialism and armed rebellion against Yuan. For Liao Zhongkai,
Said that when he set out from Japan, he was still confident and determined to do something big. But when he arrived in Hong Kong, he discovered that the situation in the country was now significantly different, and he no longer wanted to start revolutionary activities earlier.
Year is so easy to plan.b Time travel novel:b
In the past two months, the revolutionary activities of the Hong Kong branch can only be described as "difficult."
Apart from barely improving the situation of raising revolutionary funds and establishing certain contacts with Yunnan and Sichuan, Liao Zhongkai almost made no progress. He pinned his hopes on Tang Jiyao to call on the military organizations in the southwestern provinces to fight against Yuan
Although the previous contacts between the military forces left a good impression on each other and preliminary discussions on cooperation plans, contact was almost completely lost afterwards.
Hong Kong and Guangzhou had previously sent people to be stationed in Guangxi and Yunnan, but these permanent contact points also received no further news. It was as if the previous contact was just a dream.
Just when Liao Zhongkai and the Chinese Revolutionary Party were in hesitation, some whispers received from outside not long ago improved the current situation to a greater or lesser extent.
On the afternoon of July 14, Hu Yisheng, who was responsible for going to Guangzhou to inquire about the news, finally rushed back.
Liao Zhongkai quickly asked Hu Yisheng to come to the study to meet him. Before the other party could take a breath, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is there any news? What is going on?"
Hu Yisheng's face was a little excited. He nodded quickly and said: "I have inquired about it, and it is true that there is such a thing. It has been in the newspaper before. When I left Guangzhou, I asked someone to send a telegram to Shanghai to tell the story.
Some old friends of Suren Trading Company know the details. It is said that an adjutant named Du next to Yuan Zijing was in Shanghai during this time, but they are not sure what happened."
Liao Zhongkai frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by not sure? Is Yuan Zijing's adjutant in Shanghai, and who released the previous news?"
Hu Yisheng sighed and said helplessly: "The call back from Shanghai was very brief and unclear. I'm afraid Su Ren Company doesn't know the details. In my opinion, we still have to send people to Shanghai. Shanghai
The boss of Su Ren Company is Lin Boxen. He was a member of the Kuomintang before and had a close relationship with Yuan Zijing. We will definitely get more information from him."
Liao Zhongkai paced back and forth and pondered for a moment, but did not immediately answer Hu Yisheng's words. Although he was very enthusiastic about this matter and believed that this was the best way to change the current predicament, there were still many unknowns about the situation in Shanghai.
The local people, especially Lin Boxen, were not Kuomintang members belonging to the Sun faction from the beginning. It has to be said that the gap between the Sun faction and the Song faction is very big. Even if everyone can hide it well on the surface, secretly they
The overt and covert fighting is extremely bad.
For example, after moving to Japan, most of the former senior members of the Song Dynasty and Huang factions of the Kuomintang refused to join the Chinese Revolutionary Party. Huang Xing even started a new European Affairs Research Society. In the past few months, European Affairs
The Research Association and the Chinese Revolutionary Party are at loggerheads with each other, and from time to time they publish articles in some newspapers to tit for tat.
To be honest, Liao Zhongkai himself really hoped that the conflict between the Song and Huang factions and the Sun faction could be resolved. He believed that Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor could be an opportunity for the two factions to reunite. However, it was not yet complete.
Before he could get a feasible plan, he still had to be more careful.
After waiting for a while, Hu Yisheng saw that Liao Zhongkai didn't reply, so he couldn't help but ask again: "Sir, what do you think about this matter? If it is decided, we must start arranging relevant contacts as soon as possible."
Liao Zhongkai sighed slowly and said meaningfully: "When we were in Shanghai, we all had contact with Lin Boshen, but we had never valued this person before. I am afraid that even Sun Yat-sen only relied on his family's wealth.
, that’s all. In fact, Lin Boxen is not a stupid person. He must know how the party treats him. We didn’t value him in the past, but today we still look for him when we are in trouble, alas!”
He didn't speak too thoroughly, but Hu Yisheng understood it clearly.
After a pause, Hu Yisheng said with some annoyance: "What time of the year does the country's justice come first or personal grudges come first? Which one is more important? Are you more confused than me, sir?"
Hu Yisheng is a young man and naturally has quite a lot of impulsiveness in his character. He is not only full of urgency for the great cause of revolution, but he is also very dissatisfied with the current situation of overt and covert fighting within the party.
This sentence more or less controlled some emotions, but it made Liao Zhongkai suddenly panic. He sighed secretly, and finally nodded and said: "You are right. At this time of year, we can no longer have too many doubts."
. Yisheng, I'd like you to go to Shanghai a little harder and get more detailed information from Lin Boxen. Of course, if possible, it's best to do everything you can to persuade Lin Boxen to support our anti-Yuan and anti-imperialist efforts.
revolutionary activities.”
Hu Yisheng solemnly promised: "This matter is inevitable, and I will spare no effort to get it done." b Time Travel Novel: b
Liao Zhongkai nodded slightly and said happily: "That's very good. You will set off in about two days tomorrow. Lin Boxen may be a breakthrough for us to shake hands and make peace with Mr. Keqiang. It is said that Cai Songpo arrived in Japan last month and is Keqiang's father.
Mr. Qiang went to greet him in person. Last week I heard news from Fukuoka that Cai Songpo was invited to join the European Affairs Research Association."
Hu Yisheng has been handling party affairs in Hong Kong for the past six months and is not aware of the news related to the Chinese Revolutionary Party in Beijing and Japan. However, since Liao Zhongkai came to Hong Kong, he has heard from time to time that Liao Zhongkai talks about the urgent hope of the Chinese Revolutionary Party.
Win over Cai E, because Cai E is quite prestigious in the southwestern provinces, and many southwestern military generals, including Tang Jiyao, were originally from Cai E's family.
Judging from this point alone, it is not difficult for him to guess that the party hopes to win over Cai E to create pressure on Tang Jiyao, thereby forcing Tang Jiyao and the warlords of the southwestern provinces to support the revolution against Yuan. But he is also very clear that the European Affairs Research Association and the China
There are still big differences between the revolutionary parties. Just the fact that Sun Yat-sen asked all party members to pledge allegiance was controversial enough. Cai E did not take the initiative to contact the Chinese Revolutionary Party from the beginning, which can already indicate his personal attitude.
