"In my opinion, Mr. Sun needs to personally take action on Mr. Keqiang's side. To be honest, the reason why the relationship between us is so tense is because of the lack of understanding on both sides. Since Mr. Sun hopes to be able to work with him in his heart,
The European Affairs Research Association shook hands and made peace, but was unwilling to take practical actions and always pinned its hopes on trivial matters. When will the relationship between the two parties be improved?" Hu Yisheng said very helplessly. In this matter
In fact, he understands very well that it is not a matter of face. If both sides are in a stalemate for the sake of face, the great cause of the revolution is completely empty talk.
Liao Zhongkai sighed and felt ashamed in his heart. He did not expect that even young people like Hu Yisheng could see through this, making them, the senior figures of the Revolutionary Party, somewhat embarrassed.
"In short, some things are not as simple as you think, and you can't rush them."
"I just hope everything goes well. Mr. Zhong Kai should have a good talk with Mr. Sun about this matter if he has a chance. Oh, by the way, my cousin sent a telegram back from the Lion City the day before yesterday. I only received it in Guangzhou early yesterday morning.
Yeah, I almost forgot about it."
"Oh, really? How is the situation of Zhantang in Nanyang? Is there any progress?" Liao Zhongkai asked impatiently. Hu Yisheng's cousin was the former governor of Guangdong, Hu Hanmin, who was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to go to Nanyang a while ago.
Raising funds for the anti-imperialist revolution to overthrow Yuan. Nowadays, the revolutionary fundraising in Hong Kong and Guangzhou is very unsatisfactory. It took three months to raise only tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, which is barely enough for the daily operations of the branch, let alone the purchase of arms to prepare for the armed forces.
Strength.
In previous years, the funds for revolutionary activities mainly came from two parts. One was businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who supported the bourgeois revolution, and the other was from overseas Chinese in Nanyang. The former hoped to gain the rights of businessmen to participate in politics through revolution and lay the foundation for future bourgeois development.
important cornerstone.
Compared with the businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the support of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang for the revolution of the motherland is more out of patriotism than for the interests of the bourgeoisie. Moreover, most of the revolutionary businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been in business for generations, and they have a certain family background and
Capital, but the overseas Chinese in Nanyang chose to go to Nanyang from the beginning. They worked hard to accumulate family property and spared no effort to donate materials and money to serve the country.
Precisely because of the previous private support from patriotic overseas Chinese in Nanyang, Liao Zhongkai and the Chinese Revolutionary Party now placed many hopes on Hu Hanmin.
"The Nanyang side is not going well either. The British and French are paying close attention to it. Moreover, the enthusiasm of the overseas Chinese has weakened a lot compared to before. Not only that, my cousin even said in the telegram that some overseas Chinese even
They openly oppose us carrying out revolution at this time. They say that since the Beiyang government has improved, regardless of whether it is an imperial system, as long as it can promote the development and prosperity of China, it is still a good thing." Hu Yisheng said with a serious expression.
Although the fundraising situation in Nanyang is not good, his tone did not sound angry, and what these overseas Chinese who opposed it may not be unreasonable.
"Oh, my humble opinion is really my humble opinion. How can it be possible for Yuan's rebellious behavior to allow China to develop proudly and become prosperous and powerful? It's just a blind eye. When I met with Chen Weigeng from Yunnan before, Mr. Chen also explained the interests and harms bitterly.
The Beiyang government used Qingdao and Liaodong to cover up its perverse actions, which is really hateful and outrageous. We must not be deceived by this, we must stand firm in our stance and beliefs." Liao Zhongkai said with a stern voice.
"Mr. Zhong Kai, I don't have any doubts on this point. It's just that people's hearts are at this point. We also need to make some performances as soon as possible to create greater momentum and convey more revolutionary ideas. Only in this way can we change the public's knowledge.
." Hu Yisheng said sonorously and forcefully. He naturally has many expectations for the revolution, so even if he thinks some of the folk opinions are reasonable, he will still adhere to his revolutionary beliefs.
Of course, in addition to this, what is more important in his heart is his eagerness to do something big.
"You said a lot, so we need to work harder now." Liao Zhongkai calmed down and nodded slightly in agreement.
"Although my cousin said in the message that the fundraising situation is not very good, he said that he has still raised about 300,000 yuan in the past month and is preparing to send it to Hong Kong." Hu Yisheng added.
"It's hard for Cousin Zhan. It's just these three hundred thousand... Oh, let's not talk about it, it's better than that." Liao Zhongkai said.
Hu Yisheng naturally knew Liao Zhongkai's frustration. What could a mere 300,000 do? Today's domestic situation is very different from the past. It is not the uprising of hundreds or even thousands of people that can create a huge repercussions. The only thing to do is to do
A large battle, and the funds required for a big battle must be in the millions.
Seven days later, after many contacts between Hong Kong and Shanghai, Hu Yisheng was finally arranged to come to the office building of Suren Shanghai Trading Company on the day he arrived in Shanghai, and met with an assistant sent by Lin Boxen. Lin Boxen
At first, I was not sure of Hu Yisheng's purpose, but I heard that the Chinese Revolutionary Party was raising funds recently, so I sent an assistant to contact him first. If it was just to raise funds, considering the contacts he had in the past, I would just give him a sum.
The money can be sent away.
However, Hu Yisheng could not directly disclose his intention to an outsider. After all, the matter was very important, and if the confidentiality work was not done properly, not only might he miss this important opportunity, but he might even put himself in danger. So he could only
I dealt with it vaguely at first, and delayed it until the next day, before I was able to meet Lin Boshen.
The meeting place was the office building of Suren Trading Company. After the meeting, the two sides exchanged greetings for a while. After all, they had a friendship in the past, but there were differences in some matters. In fact, Hu Yisheng looked down on Lin Boxen at first, a young man with no qualifications and no background.
, all because of the money at home, he was actually promoted to serve in a core department of the Kuomintang. He could often go in and out with Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing, and Sun Wen, and he could learn first-hand information. How could he not let people know?
Feeling dissatisfied?
However, things have turned around, and this time when someone asked for help, Hu Yisheng could only humble himself.
On the other hand, Lin Boxhen didn't hold too much grudges against the past. It was just his personal political stance that he didn't want to associate with people from the Sun faction anymore, so he tried to deal with things that he could deal with. Now that he couldn't deal with it anymore, he could still follow up with some enthusiasm.
Hu Yisheng brought up the family affairs and asked about the development of the Chinese Revolutionary Party in recent years.
Hu Yisheng only agreed to a few words casually, but his temper was still somewhat eager, so he quickly turned to the topic and said: "Brother Renqing, I heard earlier that you have a close relationship with Yuan Su and Yuan Zijing in the north, and now you even have
I started a company with Yuan Zijing, and the business is very prosperous. This time I came here, and what I was doing was related to Yuan Zijing."
Lin Boshen's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a deliberately joking smile: "Really? Doesn't it mean that Brother Yisheng also wants to invest in the business? Haha."
Hu Yisheng said with a smile: "Brother Renqing is really good at joking. Well, to be honest, I wonder if Brother Renqing has heard of some rumors recently. This rumor is related to Yuan Zijing..."
Lin Boshen thought deeply for a moment, and then said: "There have been a lot of rumors these days, and there are quite a few rumors related to Yuan Zijing. It's better for Brother Yisheng to speak more directly."
Hu Yisheng wasn't sure why Lin Boxen was so wary of him. Either he didn't trust him from the beginning, or he didn't know the rumors at all, or he had a different attitude towards Yuan Su's conspiracy against the emperor. After thinking for a while,
, he did not hide any more and said straightforwardly: "It is rumored that Yuan Zijing may have objections to Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor. Our Chinese Revolutionary Party attaches great importance to this matter, so we sent a special trip to Shanghai, hoping to find out more from Brother Renqing."
