Sun Wen came suddenly, but Lin Youde had been mentally prepared for it. Now that he had money, soldiers, and a base, it would be strange if his fellow revolutionary pioneers didn't come to him to ask for soldiers or money.
What is supposed to come will always come, sooner or later is not a problem.
The maid came in and announced that someone had submitted a post. When Lin Youde heard the name on the post, he was secretly surprised: Sun Wen actually used her real name to submit a post. But then she thought about it, now that Shenji Camp in Guangzhou has been taken away
There was no replenishment, and the troops were empty. Sun Wen herself was a goddess, and she had many goddesses following her, including many girls who were good at counter-reconnaissance and counter-assassination. There was really no need to worry that the Qing court was trying to harm her.
In the last time and space, Sun Dapao was never killed, which was a bit of a cheat, which made people seriously doubt the ability of the Qing court's secret agents. This time and space, Sun Dapao was really cheating. The Qing government couldn't kill him even if they wanted to, because the cost of action was too high.
The Qing court here is really in a state of tragedy.
Lin Youde asked the maid to take Sun Wen and his party to the small flower hall for a while. After the maid went down, he turned to Ba.
"What kind of person is this Sun Wen?"
The Sun Yat-sen that Lin Youde knew was an image left in textbooks after decades of time. This image was full of interpretations and distortions by later generations. What's more, this was a different time and space, and this Sun Wen was not the other Sun Wen. Lin Youde felt that it was necessary to contact him
I used Ba, who had direct contact with Sun Wen, to get a deeper understanding of her.
Ba pondered for a while and then replied solemnly: "Miss Sun Wen... is a very selfless person. Maybe she... no, she is indeed not as good as Mr. Lin..."
"What else are you calling Mr. Lin?" Chen Haihui interrupted Ba, "Just be more intimate. It doesn't matter. We are not outsiders here."
Lin Youde kicked Chen Haihui under the table and said to him: "Shut up."
Unexpectedly, after being silent for a while, Ba Zai smiled and said: "Well, then... just like Miss Xia Fanglan, I call you virtuous?"
"Ah, well, that's good. I always call you by your name anyway. Continuing with the topic just now, what does Sun Wen have without me?"
"Miss Sun Wen may not be as talented or as wise as Youde, nor does she have your vision and wisdom, but she will never lose to you in two aspects. That is courage and will. In addition, I personally feel that Miss Sun Wen is still better.
There is one thing you are stronger than being virtuous, and that is your character."
Lin Youde smiled. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and replied leisurely: "I, Lin Youde, do have bad conduct. Haihui and I may be like birds of a feather, but you, the good-behaved one, will always stay by my side, right?"
"
The girl was stunned for a moment, while Chen Haihui kept snickering next to her.
Lin Youde coughed a few times and said, "Let's still talk about Sun Wen."
"Well, let's talk about Sun Wen. Miss Sun is an upright person. Although you have been expressing your views on Miss Sun in the past two years, I still believe that she would not do anything knowing that the uprising might fail.
Just abandon the comrades and leave. I think Miss Sun’s problem is that she is too trusting of others and her assessment of the situation is always too optimistic. I have listened to Miss Sun’s speech and talked about the world situation with Youde.
Comparing the situation, Ms. Sun’s speech was more passionate and contagious, making people feel her passion and confidence.”
"What about my speech?" Lin Youde looked up at Ba and asked with a little interest.
The girl thought for a moment and then replied: "Youde, your speech makes you feel as if the fate of the world is in your control. Your speech is full of eloquence composed of strict logic, which makes people can't help but think
'This is probably the future'."
Because that is history that actually happened in another time and space, and then there are so many historians’ hindsight interpretations, which is of course eloquent.
"From the beginning," Ba continued, "the first reason why I will stay with you is because I want to confirm to what extent you can trust your words, and whether you are a talker who only talks big words, or whether you have real talent.
A real talent. The second reason is that I always feel that you are very strange. You are obviously frivolous and full of obscene thoughts, but... when Wang Tianlin died, I felt real sadness and anger in you.
"My intuition tells me that you really want to revitalize your country. This contradiction in you makes me feel incredible."
"Who stipulates that perverts cannot have great ambitions? Must a man who helps the world be a gentleman?"
As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, Ba laughed.
"You are right."
"Why did it become 'you' again?"
"I'm not used to not using honorifics when talking to you, and I'll change back to you if I don't pay attention."
Lin Youde shrugged, "you" is just "you". He actually felt that this kind of thing didn't matter. After all, he came from a country where most of the time he addressed each other with "you", "hello" and "that person".
era.
Just as Lin Youde was about to stand up, Ba spoke again.
"In addition, there is something special about Sun Wen. She is a goddess whose blood purity is higher than mine, but her combat power is not as good as mine or even inferior to some lower-level goddesses. Her ability is very special. This ability allows her to clearly control the situation.
Convey your own ideas to others. Among the gods, the higher-level gods also have similar influence on the lower-level gods. We can completely convey our views on something to the gods with lower blood purity.
This is what ordinary people call 'spiritual pollution', and Sun Wen has the ability to convey her thoughts to ordinary people."
"That means he can brainwash ordinary people?"
Lin Youde frowned. If this was true, it would be a big problem.
Danba shook his head.
"This is not the case at all. Whether it is a high-level goddess versus a lower-level goddess, or Sun Wen versus an ordinary person, all we can do is to convey our thoughts completely and accurately, and what kind of judgment we make on this idea.
, we have no way to interfere with how we respond. 'Spiritual pollution' is just the misunderstanding of others - and avoiding this misunderstanding is one of the greatest advantages of this ability."
Lin Youde felt relieved, but some questions immediately arose in his mind.
"Does this ability have any side effects? For example, it makes her unable to hide things in her heart?"
"No, if Sun Wen doesn't want to, people around her won't be able to know the content of those words, but people can still feel Sun Wen's inner emotions, which cannot be hidden. In addition, Sun Wen
She also doesn’t have the ability to peer into people’s hearts. There is currently only one goddess in the world who can read minds, and it’s not Sun Wen.”
"I see."
Now Lin Youde was confident, but Keba seemed uneasy, so he continued to introduce: "Among the people who follow Sun Wen, many people choose to follow her because they feel Sun Wen's heart and admire her openness and integrity.
of."
Lin Youde smacked his lips. In the last time and space, he was wondering why Sun Yat-sen had tricked batch after group of people to death and there were still people who were determined to do it with him. Lin Youde had no way of knowing the true situation in the previous time and space, but it seemed that this time and space was so
Sun Wen is a typical example of persuading others with virtue.
Obviously she is a completely different existence from Lin Youde, who started his career as a womanizer. Except for the staff who are closest to him, Lin Youde has no idea how many of his subordinates can be considered dead-set. But this Sun Wen is probably surrounded by a bunch of dead people.
scholar.
It’s not easy to handle.
Lin Youde stood up, rubbed his head and walked back and forth in the study twice before finally making up his mind.
"Okay, let's go meet Sun Wen." After saying this, Lin Youde was about to walk out of the study, but changed his mind midway, "No, we can't go over to meet her. We want her to come in and find me. Someone, please send a message.
Give it to Miss Sun, I'll be waiting for her in the study."
After the maid took the order and left, Chen Haihui asked with some worry: "Do we need to strengthen the security? There are several goddesses around her."
"She shouldn't bring everyone here, that would be too conspicuous." Lin Youde said calmly, "And I have Ba by my side, which is enough."
**
Sun Wen and her party, a total of eight people, divided equally between men and women, entered Lin Youde's study in a mighty manner.
Sun Wen has a girl-next-door feel. Her shawl hair, which is not too long, is tied into a short ponytail on the back of her head, with a striking white bow tied at the root of the ponytail. The clothes she wears are different from those of most girls of this era.
, closer to the female attire of that era that Lin Youde was familiar with. It is said that this is the "Mao suit" specially designed by her in order to emphasize her ambition to save the country. Unfortunately, Lin Youde thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out how the design of this dress has anything to do with saving the country.
relation.
Originally, Lin Youde wanted to sit in the study and wait for Sun Wen to come in and act like a gentleman, but after thinking about it, he felt that he did not welcome Sun Wen out and just let her come in to pay her a visit. According to the etiquette of this era, it was already considered disrespectful.
I have fully made my attitude clear, there is no need to do anything more.
So when Sun Wen came in, Lin Youde was standing in the middle of the study, with his hands crossed in front of him, as if he were welcoming distinguished guests. Next to him, Xuedaba stood with a solemn expression, hands down, and Chen Haihui made no secret of his vulgar taste.
Holding her chest with one hand and supporting her chin with the other, she swept the area below Sun Wen's neck several times.
"High-quality goods." Chen Haihui muttered in a low voice, which happened to reach Lin Youde's ears.
Lin Youde raised his hands to agree with Chen Haihui's views.
As soon as Sun Wen saw Xue Dai Ba, she happily called "Yin Zang" and opened her arms to welcome Ba... At this time, Lin Youde had a personal experience of Sun Wen's ability described by Ba for the first time. He clearly felt
When it comes to Sun Wen's longing for Ba and the joy of reunion.
Ba took two steps forward, but when he was about to embrace Sun Wen, he turned around and gave Sun Wen a sideways look.
"Let me introduce you. This is Miss Sun Wensun, the Prime Minister of the Xingzhonghui, an old acquaintance of mine. And this is my master, Mr. Lin Youdelin."
Ba's business-like attitude made Sun Wen quite embarrassed, and she was stunned for a moment, because Ba's attitude sent a clear message: she was already on Lin Youde's side, and Sun Wen had become an old acquaintance——
Become one of the memories of the past.
Lin Youde didn't think much about it. Observing people's emotions was not his strong point. He just thought that Sun Wen was shocked by Ba's attitude. He bowed his hands according to the established plan and said: "Miss Sun, I have admired her for a long time."
Before Sun Wen could answer, a white-faced scholar-looking young man behind her spoke: "Hmph! I've heard for a long time that shopkeeper Lin has a good way of dealing with women, and I finally saw it with my own eyes today. Wen, let's not talk nonsense with him. Save
Even you were mesmerized when I got it!"
"Shaobai!" Sun Wen scolded, and then Lin Youde realized that the white-faced scholar was actually Chen Shaobai, one of the four major bandits in Guangzhou.
After scolding her friend, Sun Wen turned to Lin Youde, clasped her hands like a man and said: "Thanks to the strong suggestion of cousin Situ Mei, the great incense master of Boston's Anliang Hall, Wente came to pay a visit to Mr. Lin."
Lin Youde said "Oh" and thought that it was like this. No wonder she did not go to the Philippines to find Xiang Qiyi but took the risk to go to Guangzhou where she was still wanted to find herself. It turned out that Situ Meitang was the matchmaker.
"In addition, cousin Situ Mei also suggested that I should not notify you by telegram or in any form before meeting Shopkeeper Lin. He thinks that will make you avoid meeting me."
Situ Meitang's worries are not unreasonable, but Lin Youde has no intention of avoiding Sun Wen. On the contrary, he is ready to have a head-on confrontation with this revolutionary pioneer to see if this girl's ideals can last more than a hundred years.
The eloquence precipitated by the development of sociology and the progress of history.
"Miss Sun," Lin Youde said after understanding the ins and outs of why Sun Wen came to see him, "let's not make any detours and go straight to the point."
As he said this, Lin Youde turned around, walked leisurely to his imperial chair, sat down, lifted the long hem of his coat, and crossed his legs.
"Come on, Miss Sun, come and convince me. Use your ideals and passion to convince me to support your career."
**
Sun Wen's speech was indeed very contagious, and Lin Youde was almost moved.
Almost.
After seeing Sun Wen finish speaking passionately, Lin Youde turned to look at Chen Haihui first, but the real young master shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent. Then Lin Youde turned to look at Ba, and found that the girl also looked indifferent.
It seems that Sun Wen's speech had no effect on his two staff.
Lin Youde stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "Miss Sun, what a wonderful speech."
"You flatter me."
"However, I have a question that I hope you can answer."
"Please say."
"How do you win the support of the majority of the country's people?"
"The Qing court is unpopular. When we succeed in our actions, the people of the country will respond in large numbers."
Sun Wen's ability made Lin Youde understand that this girl really thought so. He immediately had the urge to shake his head and sigh. He knew that the early revolutionary youths were very naive, but he didn't expect them to be so naive. They were simply idealists.
, ambitious but practical ability is infinitely close to zero.
"Then, even if that's the case," Lin Youde said, "The second question is, after the Chinese people responded, Miss Sun, where did the armaments of the revolutionary army come from? And how to ensure the supply of food and wages?"
"This is exactly what we need from you, Mr. Lin. I learned from cousin Situ Mei..."
"So!" Lin Youde interrupted Sun Wen, "We are back to the first question. Why should I support you?"
Behind Sun Wen, Chen Shaobai frowned impatiently: "What do you mean? Does it make sense to talk about Cheluolun over and over like this? If you support it, support it. If you don't support it, I will pull it."
"Shaobai!" Sun Wen scolded her follower again.
"Wen, he is just being a scumbag. I think Situ Meitang has made a mistake. How can such a scumbag be someone who has the ambition to save the country?"
Lin Youde burst out laughing when he heard this.
"I have heard for a long time that the Revolutionary Party is a group of smart people, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. I, Lin Youde, just want you to wake up from those unrealistic empty talks and realize the reality, which has become a swindle. Wake up,
Everyone, no matter how emotional your speech is, or how tempting the empty promises you write are, the people will not support you for an empty promise!"
In the last time and space that Lin Youde experienced, many people thought that a mustache could make waves in the Western world and become the head of a country because of his speeches and because he incited the national sentiment of the Aryans. But in fact,
The biggest reason why the people of Prussia support mustaches is that mustaches have allowed their wages to escape the continuous decline after the economic crisis and gradually recover or even exceed the level before the economic crisis.
This was true for Europeans in the 1930s, and even more so for Chinese people at the end of the 19th century.
Lin Youde's words made Chen Shaobai very disdainful, but Sun Wen looked thoughtful.
"So," Sun Wen asked Lin Youde at the end, "what do you think can arouse the Chinese people?"
"Didn't our ancestors tell us the answer a long time ago, Miss Sun? As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. The world is big and the earth is big, so food is the biggest thing!"
Lin Youde paused, grinned at Sun Wen, and continued: "Miss Sun, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Lin is going to Hailufeng tomorrow. If you are interested, you might as well come and have a look."
"We don't have that time!"
As soon as Chen Shaobai opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Sun Wen's third scolding.
"Shaobai," Sun Wen said in a calm tone, "I have shown my beliefs and ideals to Mr. Lin, and Mr. Lin has listened carefully. Now, we have an obligation to understand what Mr. Lin wants to do to us.
What we express is also a form of reciprocity."
Sun Wen's words were extremely sincere, and she suppressed many of Chen Shaobai's dissatisfactions. The young man snorted, turned his head and looked at the study window.
At this moment, Lin Youde was finally convinced of one thing. In this time and space, there was an existence named Sun Wen. In terms of personality and character, he was indeed extremely powerful, far beyond what he, Lin Youde, could compare to. However, what this era needs is not
A noble idealist, but a flexible and shameless doer.
Lin Youde looked at Sun Wen's pretty face and thought: Let me teach you a lesson, the idealistic young lady who saves the country with her words.
