Lin Boxhen stared at Hu Yisheng seriously for a long time and said unhurriedly: "I have also heard recently that your party is currently planning revolutionary activities against the imperial system. To be honest, I am very concerned about the imperialist remarks that have gone viral recently.
Opposition. However, on the one hand, it is not yet known whether the monarchy will work. The president has made many public statements before, expressing his firm opposition to the monarchy; on the other hand, even if the president really wants to proclaim himself emperor, there is currently a voice of support in the country.
It makes it really difficult for people to make judgments about right and wrong.”
After listening to Lin Boxhen's words, even though these words also touched on Hu Yisheng's inner thoughts, he still had to stand from the perspective of the Chinese Revolutionary Party and doing major things, and did his best to convince the other party, so he solemnly said:
"With the current domestic situation, anyone who understands a little bit can know that Yuan Shikai is behind this. Without Yuan Shikai's support, how could the Security Council develop so rapidly? Without Yuan Shikai's acquiescence, the public opinion of the imperial system would have
How could there be such a big storm? If Brother Renqing still makes excuses by saying that it is not known yet, he would be deceiving himself too much."
Lin Boxhen naturally understood this truth. The reason why he said this was not to provide cover for Yuan Shikai and the imperial system. On the contrary, like thousands of other ordinary people, he hoped that the imperial system could improve the country's current predicament. But
This is just a trivial thought. He will not place all his hopes on this mere bet.
"Brother Yisheng, if the Chinese Revolutionary Party needs Lin's help, you can tell him directly. Whether it is money or effort, Lin will do his best. Regarding the national political situation, please forgive Lin for being shallow. It's not
Pay attention to the matter of politics. Two years ago, Lin made up his mind to only seek to rejuvenate the country through industry and not to seek other extravagant ideas that are not practical."
"Brother Renqing has such enthusiasm, which is really a blessing and a pity for us. I really have no other reason to come here this time. I just want to ask Brother Renqing clearly about Yuan Zi's desire to oppose the imperial system. Now
The revolutionaries are weak, and if they can attract a group of patriotic generals as foreign aid to change the current predicament, then the great cause of the revolution will have hope of success."
Lin Boshen hesitated for a moment. He thought that Hu Yisheng was a backbone of the Revolutionary Party and a close confidant of Sun Yat-sen, so there should be nothing wrong with him. He was originally surprised that Yuan Su suddenly released such news, if only because of his respect for Yuan Shikai.
Being dissatisfied seems too unlike Yuan Su's actions.
Although he still has faith in revolution in the past few years, as Suren Company has grown stronger and stronger, the idea of rejuvenating the country through industry has gradually replaced the previous extreme idealistic revolutionism. Compared with before, he only had a passion and empty spirit.
As a matter of fact, he can now establish industries, provide tax revenue to the country, improve the living standards of the people, resist the invasion of foreign capitalism, and promote the development of national capitalism. These are all progress.
What really changed his outlook on life was that during the Sino-Japanese armed conflict last year, he was able to call on national capitalism to provide assistance to the battlefield, and on the other hand, he guided the people to boycott Japanese goods and defend the country.
Sovereignty and national honor have truly contributed their share.
Therefore, he was surprised by the sudden rumors about Yuan Su's anti-imperialism. He also felt helpless because he no longer wanted to get involved in domestic class conflicts and political power struggles. Let alone
For example, because Yuan Su got involved in such things, he fell into a dilemma.
"To be honest, I don't want to get involved in this matter. But since Brother Yisheng, you came all the way from Hong Kong to ask about this matter, and I do have some information, I can't take it seriously and stay out of it.
." Lin Bo sighed deeply. Although his face looked helpless, his tone was somewhat firm.
"In this case, I hope Brother Renqing can give me some advice." After hearing Lin Boxhen's words, Hu Yisheng immediately became energetic.
"If you had come three days earlier, Yuan Zijing's adjutant Du Yuren would still be in Shanghai, so you could have asked him face to face. But the day before yesterday, adjutant Du had already returned to Tianjin, which is a pity. Adjutant Du stayed in Shanghai for four days.
During the day, I mainly helped Yuan Zijing manage the business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Later, after I heard some rumors, I specifically asked Adjutant Du to find out about Yuan Zijing's opposition to the imperial system." Lin Boshen said unhurriedly.
"Really? How did Adjutant Du express his opinion?" Hu Yisheng asked quickly.
"Although Adjutant Du did not give a positive answer, he still hinted that this was indeed the case. If Brother Yisheng wants to know the specific situation, I'm afraid he will have to go to Nanjing in person." Lin Boxhen answered truthfully.
"So that's it." Although he didn't get clear information, even Yuan Su's adjutant had some hints, which showed that this matter was definitely not groundless. Hu Yisheng was still a little excited, and the hope before him was obviously more obvious.
"This is the only information I know. If Brother Yisheng still needs help with anything, just ask. If I can do it, I won't say a single word." Lin Boxen said again.
The reason why he once again emphasized the words "other help" is because he has some affection for the revolutionary camp. The situation of the Chinese Revolutionary Party is not very good now. It is said that it is difficult to raise revolutionary funds, and he has a lot of money.
It can still be of some help.
"Brother Renqing is indeed very loyal. I have offended you a lot in the past, so please don't take it to heart. Now, Hu and the Chinese Revolutionary Party keep this favor in mind. Speaking of other help, hehe, I am embarrassed.
Yan has two requests, and I hope Brother Renqing will not laugh at you." Hu Yisheng was a little embarrassed, but for the sake of the revolution, of course personal dignity can be put second.
"You have to be polite, you might as well speak frankly." Lin Bo said deeply.
"The first thing is that I would like to thank you, Brother Ren, for arranging the meeting with Yuan Zijing from Xiabei to Tianjin. The second thing, I am ashamed to say, is that our branch of the Chinese Revolutionary Party in Hong Kong is now very difficult to fund. If Ren
Brother Qing can still remember the great cause of the revolution and the old friendship, and generously donate money to help us, which really solves our urgent needs." Hu Yisheng said with emotion.
"The matter of funding is a trivial matter. I can directly donate 200,000 yuan in cash and remit it to Hong Kong. As for arranging for Brother Yisheng to go to Tianjin, well, I'm afraid it needs to be discussed in the long run. It's not that I'm unwilling, after all.
The matter is so big that we certainly cannot act rashly. Furthermore, I don’t know whether Yuan Zijing himself really has the will to fight against the imperial system. After all, although Deputy Du is a close confidant of Yuan Zijing, he is not Yuan Zijing himself after all. Do you understand what I mean?" Lin Boxhen
He said with some hesitation.
"Of course I understand. In short, I ask Brother Renqing to make arrangements as much as possible. If it really doesn't work, it's okay. At worst, I'll go to Tianjin on my own. For the great cause of the revolution and our great plan for the next hundred years of China, no matter how much risk we take, it won't matter.
Without hesitation." Hu Yisheng said solemnly and resoundingly.
"Well, I can't make any promises to you now, but you can rest in Shanghai for a while first, and I will try my best to make arrangements. I will do whatever I can to achieve it. I hope Brother Yisheng won't take offense." Lin Boxhen said slowly.
Said. Today, he is more or less numb to those slogans such as "die for the great cause of revolution". No matter how loud the slogans are, how passionate, how just and awe-inspiring, there is no reality at all.
It has no effect, so what’s the point?
"Of course I can't. Thank you in advance." Hu Yisheng smiled and nodded.
