Text Chapter 29 Shanghai Incident

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At the end of summer and autumn, heavy rains always visit Shanghai inadvertently.

    Looking out from the window on the third floor of the French Concession, there were far fewer pedestrians on the street. Most of the van drivers were hiding on the street corners to take shelter from the rain. A few green men were whistling to two female students who were handing out leaflets, holding thick headscarves.  The Indian patrol turned a blind eye.

    As the most modern city in China, Shanghai shines brightly even in the entire Far East. Later famous banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, Citigroup, and France have all chosen this place as their first stop to enter the Chinese market. The huge population and turbulent environment have made it difficult for them to enter the Chinese market.  Bankers around the world and the great powers standing behind them cheered, and the reputation of the Oriental Adventure Park attracted too much attention.

    This is a country that must change!

    There are already blue veins on the back of Song Jiaoren's hand holding the window railing. There are too many suction blood vessels inserted into this country's body. If it cannot be changed, one day even the bone marrow will be drained.

    However, there is always an inexplicable anxiety after returning from Sichuan. The four questions when Yang Qiu put a gun to his head are always lingering around him. The Beiyang faction has heavy troops, Yuan Shikai is unemployed and his family is not reassuring, and the concessions all over the country are  , the plunder of foreign capital that goes deep into the blood, and the haze of civil war that will lead to the country falling into civil war once the revolution fails.

    How should we take this road?

    "Mr. Song, Mr. Huang and Mr. Chen are here."

    Song Jiaoren turned around and saw that Miao Yuan was already standing behind him, and sighed: "Your sister"

    "Thank you, Mr. Song, for your concern." Miao Yuan's eyebrows flashed with concern and he said: "You are responsible for big things. I will notify the brothers in the gang to look for Miao Luo."

    "Okay." After Song Jiaoren finished speaking, he was afraid that Miao Yuan would mess up, so he warned: "Yang Qiu could have taken our lives that day, but he didn't do it. It shows that this person is not really a lackey of the Qing Dynasty.  So if it¡¯s not necessary¡­.¡±

    "Don't worry, sir, Miao Yuan knows what to do."

    Hearing this, Song Jiaoren felt a little relieved. When he walked out of the bedroom, he saw Chen Qimei, who was wearing a top hat, holding a cigarette and a green skin, happily talking quietly to Huang Xing, who had come to Shanghai for treatment. The latter was because  Huang Huagang was disheartened and had been hiding in Hong Kong as an excuse to heal his wounds and take care of his emotions. When he saw Song Jiaoren, he still didn't seem to be in the mood to speak first.

    Chen Qimei also saw Song Jiaoren, but did not throw away the cigarette. He knew that many people could not bear to see him hanging out with the Youth Gang, visiting bathhouses and brothels, and said that he smoked heavily and whored with women and did not look like a revolutionary comrade. But if he did not do this  , how can you lift up a bunch of gang brothers? How can you have today's status without brothers!

    So I sneered twice in my heart, put on a smiling face and said, "Brother Fisherman, you are in a good mood today."

    There was no smile on Song Jiaoren¡¯s face, but this guy said he was in a good mood. Wasn¡¯t he deliberately trying to save face?  Miao Yuan's face darkened as he followed behind him. Seeing this, Huang Xing quickly changed the subject and said, "Fisherman, I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow. Today I'm here to discuss the launch in Wuchang proposed by Sun Wu."

    "What? Sun Wu is really going to start something in Wuchang?" Song Jiaoren didn't want to argue with Chen Qimei, so he turned to Huang Xing and asked: "Wuchang is heavily guarded. Although they said they mobilized a lot of soldiers, the total number of soldiers is not enough."  If you go to a camp and act hastily, I'm afraid"

    Although Song Jiaoren did not continue, everyone knew what he meant. In the battle of Huanghuagang, all the domestic and foreign elites accumulated by the Alliance over the years were lost. Mr. Zhongshan was also forced to flee overseas. Many comrades were already discouraged, so more  Many people turned their attention to Sichuan and tried to use the road protection movement to realize the first uprising. At this time, Sun Wu proposed to hold an event in Wuchang, which was really not reassuring.

    Huang Xing also knew the difficulty. If Sun Wu failed again, the last elites of the Kuomintang in China would be destroyed, and they might have to go to the sea to work as apartment residents, so he took out the telegram sent by Sun Wu and introduced the preparations.  : "What Sun Wu means is that his comrades are ready to take on the heavy responsibility of the first righteousness, and there are more of our people in the army. The biggest problem at the moment is arms and weapons. Although Zhang Biao and Ruicheng are not on good terms, they  We are very stuck on this matter. Now we only have some pistols and basically no long guns. Recently, Chu Wangtai has changed its belts and the management has become stricter. If we want to get enough guns before Shouyi, we may be in trouble."

    "We, the Youth Gang, still have some arms. We should find some ways to contact the Japanese and buy some, but the quantity is not large. And if there is an incident in Wuchang, all the places will definitely follow, and I am afraid that we won't be able to get out so much.  Chen Qimei bit her cigarette and shook her fingers: "In my opinion, Keqiang, you should send a telegram to tell Sun Wu and others to stop messing around. Sichuan is the most important thing now."

    After the failure in Guangzhou, Huang Xing has been waiting for the opportunity to clear his name, so he also thought about starting a career in Wuchang, butWuchang was really too difficult. Hearing Chen Qimei¡¯s disapproval, and it was hard to dampen the enthusiasm of the people below, I thought about it and said, ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to do Wuchang, but the danger is too great. Maybe it would be better if there were more guns.

    The three towns of Wuchang are separated and separated by the Yangtze River and the Han River. The army cannot be mobilized so quickly, so as long as we can gather a group of firearms, quickly destroy the governor and admiral's yamen, and seize the arsenal, there should be there is still hope, but I still prefer it.  Strengthen Sichuan and strive to open up the situation there.  "Huang Xing couldn't guarantee it, and his tone became lower and lower as he spoke. It seemed that all his energy had been exhausted in Huanghuagang. Song Jiaoren sighed secretly and asked, "By the way, the new Chu Wangtai supervisor has contacted them.  ?  "

    "That man's name is Xiao Anguo, and he is an associate of Yang Qiu. Sun Wu and the others dare not contact him rashly." As soon as Huang Xing finished speaking, Chen Qimei became unhappy. He took out a second cigarette and lit it, pointing at Huang Xing and saying, "I'm afraid  What, if he wants money, give him money, if he wants a woman, give him a woman, if he wants to smoke, I¡¯ll ask the brothers in the gang to give him more, if that doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll just tie up that red guy Yang Qiu¡¯s second uncle and let¡¯s talk.¡±

    "Yingshi, we are here to discuss business." The more Song Jiaoren listened, the more uncomfortable he became, and he interrupted: "Don't bring in your gang's tricks."

    Chen Qimei was not happy when she heard this. She glared and said, "What's wrong with the gangs? How many people in Shanghai belong to gangs? If there were no gangs to protect you, fisherman, how could you be so leisurely in Shanghai?"

    "Okay, okay, stop arguing. We are all comrades, and we are all trying to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It doesn't matter if the methods are different, as long as the goal is the same." Huang Xing also knew that Chen Qimei and Song Jiaoren had never got along well, so he quickly argued  : "Don't be angry, fisherman. Although Yingshi's words are a bit harsh, they are not unreasonable. Corrupting Manchu officers and officials is also a method."

    Seeing that Huang Xingquan was defending Chen Qimei, Song Jiaoren was unwilling to break his face and said: "I don't have any other intention. I just have to be careful when dealing with this person. If he fails to bribe him and is reported by him, then the promotion of Wuchang's first uprising will be in danger."  That¡¯s it.¡±

    "Since we are afraid of informing, why do we ask everyone not to kill that red guy Yang Qiu and his accomplices for the time being?" Chen Qimei said angrily: "According to me, sending people to kill that red guy directly is the best way to get it done."

    Song Jiaoren didn't expect Chen Qimei to mention this matter, but it was indeed his instruction to move Yang Qiu temporarily. He was so angry that his eyebrows were beating. Just when he was about to refute Huang Xing, he said: "Yingshi, Yang Qiu is now 42.  President, the unauthorized actions of Jiang Yiwu and others a few days ago have caused an uproar. Even Miss Miao's life and death are unknown. Fortunately, it has not affected the comrades in the army. Now that Sun Wu is determined to cause trouble, I think it is right for him to hold off for the time being.  So as not to alert the enemy.

    After Huang Xing finished speaking, when he saw that the two of them had stopped arguing, he asked: "By the way, I heard that Yang Qiu grew up in Shanghai. Yingshi, have you checked his details?"

    "The brothers in the gang have already checked it out." Chen Qimei said bitterly: "Yang Qiu's parents have been doing kerosene business with the Italian Massente company since they came to Shanghai ten years ago. After their death five years ago, the business was transferred to the brothers' name.  Next, that is the uncle of the red man. Yang Qiu himself has always been under his care. His uncle originally asked him to study in France, but after studying in the German Concession, he returned to Hubei alone to serve as a soldier. This matter did not even affect his uncle.  I only found out about it recently.¡±

    "It's strange. Since he studied Western learning, why did he want to be a lackey of the Qing court?" Huang Xing looked at Chen Qimei in surprise. The latter curled his lips and sneered: "A red guy is a red guy. If there is anything you can't figure out, read this  Western learning can make us our comrades? Look at him now that he is prosperous and has money and power, so you can know his character!"

    Huang Xing slapped the table and said: "Anyway, this person has become a stumbling block for us now. After the overall situation is decided, Sun Wu and the others must find a way to get rid of him. In addition, Wu Yuzhang has sent me a telegram, and Chengdu has stabilized the situation."  Stop, they are ready to start over, this fire always needs to be lit."

    "I think we need to not only burn, but also start a prairie fire." Chen Qimei said proudly: "Don't do Wuchang. How can those idiots from the literary society do it? It's totally unreasonable. We should concentrate on supporting Sichuan. Only in this way can we pry  Move the foundation of Manchu Qing.¡±

    Song Jiaoren rolled his eyes at Chen Qimei and said: "It's not that simple. What's happening in Sichuan is just the northwest border, and the roads into Sichuan are controlled by the Tatars. Unless Sichuan is first allowed to establish an independent government, otherwise  ¡­.¡±

    "The fisherman is right. I have called Wu Yuzhang back and asked them to find a way to create chaos and then fight for independence! As long as the flag of independence is raised, it will lead to national affairs."

    "Keqiang, you immediately return to Hong Kong to deploy in Guangzhou. If Sichuan can attack first, you should mobilize immediately. I will go back to find someone to send some weapons to Sun Wu." Everyone made some meaningful arrangements with each other.  Finally, Chen Qimei didn't want to see Song Jiaoren for a moment anymore, so she clasped her fists and prepared to leave. When she opened the door, she saw someoneEntered the room.

    Chen Qimei recognized this person. He was a reporter from the Democracy Newspaper and one of Song Jiaoren's liaisons. Seeing his hurried steps, she couldn't help temporarily giving up the idea of ??leaving immediately and asked: "What happened?"

    "Mr. Song, Chief Editor Yu asked me to tell you that the reporter we sent to Sichuan sent a telegram. That old dog Zhao Erfeng captured Pu Dianjun and others from the Road Protection Association, and massacred dozens of protesting citizens in the street. Now the entire Chengdu  It¡¯s chaos, Ge Laohui and the others have surrounded the city and are attacking!¡±

    "That's great!" Huang Xing jumped up happily like a child. He didn't expect that when he came to Shanghai for follow-up on the injury on his hand, he would get such big news from Sichuan!  As long as Sichuan takes the lead, it will surely lead the whole country!

    Song Jiaoren was also very happy and immediately said: "Keqiang, Yingshi, please contact various places as soon as possible, and guns must be transported there as soon as possible. In addition, find a way to tell Sun Wu that our focus is on Sichuan during this period, and we can only give  He got some guns and a** and told them to watch out for themselves¡­.¡±

    Chen Qimei pouted, why should he take charge of the overall situation and make himself look superior to others, while he has to run around all day to not please him!  So, he opened the door and walked out without saying a word.

    The banging door made Song Jiaoren secretly scratch his head. Looking at Huang Xing who was in high spirits, he suddenly thought of those four questions. Could Yang Qiu really be right? The incomplete revolution would lead to warlord separatism and frequent civil wars.  ?
