There were many organizations similar to the Huaxing Society in the late Qing Dynasty. Although the Huaxing Society took some confidentiality measures, it was obvious that Huang Xing and others were setting up a society for the first time and lacked experience, so they were eventually discovered by the Qing government.
The whistleblower happened to be Wang Xianqian, the director of Yuelu Academy. ——This old man is really partying with the revolution.
Li Yu said to Huang Xing: "Oka...Brother Okamoto must act cautiously in the future. Although the situation is already precarious, it is best not to act rashly if you want to kill the first bird." Huang Xing immediately agreed: "Brother Yu Li, I will Remember, we will not do anything lightly unless we have to." Li Yu felt relieved at this: "Hope is as airtight as Brother Okamoto's name." Huang Xing was slightly stunned: "What does it have to do with my name? relation?"
"Um, it's nothing... I just thought that the word 'gang' means hill. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood." Li Yu came back unexpectedly.
Huang Xing was very moved. No matter what, revolution is a dangerous thing with your head tied to your belt. He cupped his fists and said, "Brother Yu Li, don't worry, we will definitely continue to cooperate in the future. I will repay you with a bright future." Chen Tianhua Suddenly jumped out and said: "I'm afraid that all the green mountains will be burned to ashes." Huang Xing said: "Xiansu, there are 400 million people in China, we can afford it." Xiansu is Chen Tianhua's pseudonym.
Chen Tianhua has always been impatient: "If we don't push forward big things, it will be too late. Although there are 400,000 people in the country, everyone seems to be in a dream." Huang Xing taught him a lesson: "Read more history books. Great things can never be achieved overnight. You have no patience at all, how can you do things?" Li Yu thought for a while and said to Chen Tianhua: "If things go wrong in the future, you can come to my company and research laboratory. There are many ways to serve the country. This is also a down-to-earth way. A way to do practical things." Chen Tianhua said: "Brother Yu Li, you are one of the rare people who can be respected by foreigners. If there is a day, I will do this." Li Yu said with a smile: "I said before, respect Sometimes it's important, sometimes it's not important at all. Especially if foreigners respect me or not, I don't care at all." Chen Tianhua was surprised: "This is what many people dream of, after all, foreigners have always looked down on us." Li Yu knew that Chen Tianhua He committed suicide two years later because Japan promulgated the "Rules for Banning International Students from the Qing Dynasty" and said that Chinese students were
A group of "indulgent and despicable" people fight to the death in order to awaken the world. But there is always a better way, such as Lu Xun’s approach.
——If the human blood steamed buns are dipped in your own blood, it will not be enough and it will not alert many people. Li Yu said: "Respect is earned slowly, and we cannot live in the eyes of others. Especially foreigners, they hope that we will continue to sink and be harvested like leeks, so even if they respect us, what can they do?" Song Jiaoren said from the side: "Brother Yu Li is worthy of being an imperial master. He has such a high level. I really admire you! You are right. Not only the British and French, but now the Japanese have just defeated us, and they also have high esteem for everything." , but if we are higher than them in the future, it won’t matter whether we respect them or not.”
"That's what it means." Li Yu agreed. Chen Tianhua's life can be saved. After all, suicide is not worth the trouble.
And although he is a bit radical in his actions, his mind is actually quite flexible and his memory is very superior. Chen Tianhua nodded: "I remember." Li Yu said with a smile: "Not only do you want to do big things, I will also do big things in the future. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you may get unexpected surprises if you come to me. ." Huang Xing said happily at the side: "I know that what we are doing is difficult to succeed, but brother Li, is it too early to poach people now?" Li Yu laughed loudly: "Get a vaccination." Huang Xing and his Huaxing Association have just been established and do not yet have a specific action plan. This shows the immaturity of the organization.
Only slogans are not enough? However, Huang Xing and the others have learned a lot of lessons from this incident, which will be helpful for working with Mr. Zhongshan in the future.
After Li Yu stayed for a long time, he said goodbye and left. He couldn't stay in the two lakes for too long, so he made an appointment to board the boat and prepared to return to Shanghai.
——Li Yu was a little bored on the boat. When Li Yu was looking at the Yangtze River on the deck, someone suddenly came over and said, "Rivers are crisscrossed and the mountains are fertile."
"What?" Li Yu was confused.
"Are you talking to me?" He looked back and saw that he was a middle-aged man. The other party was also stunned, and then said: "Nothing, I just think the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River is refreshing." Li Yu saw that he was well-dressed and had a flexible and strong body. He was not an ordinary person, so he asked: "Who is your Excellency?"
"I am Yue Pinglong."
"What a rare surname," Li Yu said.
"It seems to come from ancient times."
"Yes, it must have originated from Goujian during the troubled times of the Warring States Period." Yue Pinglong said. Li Yu raised an alarm in his heart: "Warring States?" Yue Pinglong said: "Heroes emerge from troubled times. The Warring States and the Three Kingdoms are both fascinating eras." Li Yu shrugged his eyebrows. How could the Chinese make such a mistake?
Coupled with his rhetoric, he is probably Japanese, because the Japanese admire the Warring States and the Three Kingdoms extremely.
Li Yu went straight to the point: "Your Excellency shouldn't be called Yue Pinglong, right? What kind of gentleman should you be called?" Yue Pinglong opened his mouth, and immediately realized that he had revealed his secret: "Who are you, sir? I saw that you had short hair at first, and you also I thought he was also Japanese."
"Yeah?" Li Yu said,
"Are you really Japanese?" Yue Pinglong said, "Yes, I, Xiao Yue Pinglong, am a Japanese scholar."
"Scholar?" Li Yu was suspicious. Xiaoyue Pinglong took out a book: "This book was written by me and translated into Chinese by someone from your country." Li Yu looked at the title of the book, "Travel in Manchuria".
I immediately guessed that he was an intelligence agent sent by Japan to investigate China, but if he insisted on being a scholar, he seemed to be passable.
Xiao Yue Pinglong said: "I have traveled across China for many years, and not many people can recognize my identity. Who are you?" Li Yu felt that there was no need to hide it: "I am Li Yu." Xiao Yue Pinglong was surprised. : "It turns out to be the national preceptor!" Li Yu said: "I'm afraid the term national preceptor is not used correctly." Xiao Yue Pinglong was not a professional spy, and there were many flaws in it, but he immediately smiled and said: "Fortunately, your Majesty is not a spy." Imperial Master." Li Yu roughly turned over the book in his hand and sighed: "Sir, you really have good intentions." Xiao Yue Pinglong said: "Sir's tone is a bit strange. The translation of this book will definitely be helpful to your country. Now I want to know something about the Northeast, and there is no information better than this book." Li Yu asked: "Can you lend me this book for reference?" Xiao Yue Pinglong did not stop him: "Your Majesty, please, I am the one who can see you. It’s an honor.” Anyway, I heard it many times
"It's an honor", but coming from a Japanese mouth, it's really touching. This book is also called "White Mountains and Black Waters". When you hear the name, it means the land of Manchuria.
Hirataka Kogoshi was one of many people sent by Japan to China to spy on intelligence. Although his book later claimed to be to help China resist Tsarist Russia, Li Yu, as a time traveler, could see his ambition at a glance.
Unfortunately, although this book was translated into Chinese in Shanghai a year ago, it did not attract much attention. Many people naively thought that Japan was really helping China resist Tsarist Russia.
This sentiment became even more prevalent after Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War a year later. Li Yu opened the preface and found that the Chinese translator named Zhao Bizhen also vaguely understood Japan's intentions, and wrote in the preface: "Manchuria is the land of our country. I will not operate to prevent Russia, others will do it for me." I'm planning on guarding against them. I mean! How different!" Kogoe Hirakata was already working very hard, but compared to the later dedicated Japanese spies, he was still a bit behind.
While Li Yu was studying on the ship, several students from Dong Ya Tong Wen College in Shanghai were having a gathering. A Japanese student, Kenjiro Hayade, said: "Akiyuki-senpai has a heavy mission here. Brother Hatano and I bid farewell to you." Kenjiro Hayade is a student of Toa Doubun Academy, but he is one semester behind Konoe Akiyuki. He is a second-term student.
Although Konoe Akiyuki is a distant branch of the Konoe family, she has the upper hand. The head of the family, Konoe Atsumaro, saw her potential when he saw her by chance and specially trained her as a senior agent.
The Konoe family has always admired extremism. Akiyuki Konoe was affected and hoped to do something to make his family's distant branches no longer so far away.
So he decided to enter Toa Doubun Academy founded by Konoe Atsumaro. Konoe Akiyuki said to the two of them: "The two juniors will soon be assigned tasks, and we will be separated from each other from now on." Hayashide Kenjiro later served as Puyi's translator, and he and another Hatano Yosaku were both in the second period. Excellent student.
Kenjiro Hayade said: "I want to sing "Atsuki" for Aki-senpai as a farewell song." Konoe Akiji said: "Thank you Hayashi-kun." Kenjiro Hayade took out a folding fan, stood up, danced and sang: "Fifty years of life are like a dream and an illusion. Whoever survives once can never be immortal!" This is a famous dance by Oda Nobunaga of Japan.
Hatano Yosaku applauded: "Hayide-kun really has the style of a general." Hayade Kenjiro sat back and said: "From now on, I don't know if I can see Akiyuki-senpai again. Missing her makes me tortured." Hatano Yosaku applauded. His hand stopped, and he didn't expect Kenjiro Hayide to reveal his thoughts directly.
Konoe Akiyuki had long seen that Hayashide Kenjiro was interested in him, his eyes were moving, but he immediately said: "Hayashide-san should miss the cherry blossoms in his hometown more." The beginning was
"Jun" is now
"Sang", Kenjiro Hayade heard that Konoe Akiyuki was trying to distance himself. But a few glances from Konoe Akiyuki made his heart sway. He took out a bottle of wine and said, "This is sake brewed by me from my hometown Wakayama. I have been reluctant to drink it since I brought it here, but today if I don't share it with you, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to drink together with Akiyuki-senpai." Konoe Akiyuki looked at the sake in front of him and smiled slightly: "A younger brother is a younger brother." Kenjiro Hayade retreated to the next best thing and immediately said: "I want to be a senior sister forever. Brother." Konoe Akiyuki picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it down: "You'd better do the tasks assigned by the empire first, otherwise you won't have the face to see me." Konoe Akiyuki's snow-white neck exposed when he raised his head to drink, Lin Lin saw that Dekenjiro was almost stunned. After hearing her words, he immediately took a drink: "I will definitely not betray the great cause of the empire!" Although later generations will know that the Toa Doubun Academy run by the Japanese is a super spy organization, but in the late Qing Dynasty In the early years of the Republic of China, not many people knew about it.
Even in 1901, the college relocated and held an opening ceremony. The opening ceremony was attended not only by Viscount Nagaoka Moromi, the vice president of the Japanese East Asia Doubenkai, and Odagiri Manjunosuke, the Japanese Consul General in Shanghai, but also by many domestic officials.
For example, the then Governor of Liangjiang and Minister of Nanyang Liu Kunyi sent representatives from Shanghai Daotai Yuan Xunshu and Governor of Huguang Zhang Zhidong from Shanghai County Magistrate Liu Yi, while Minister of Railways Sheng Xuanhuai went to the scene in person.
There were hundreds of Chinese and Japanese people that day. Later, Zhang Zhidong also presented a stone inscription with the Book of Songs to the academy as a souvenir.
I have to say that the Japanese are really bad at engaging in espionage. Later, after visiting the academy, a British officer heard a Chinese official lament: "In 1870, during the German-French War, the Germans knew more about France than the French; and the Japanese knew more about China than they did. It has surpassed the Chinese people’s understanding of their own country.” From the first batch of students of Donga Doubun Academy to Japan’s defeat, the academy has been conducting surveys through travel and other methods for 45 years, with more than 5,000 participants and more than 700 travel routes. Only the fifth issue ~The 42nd batch of students have a whopping 676 travel routes, covering all provinces in China except Tibet.
Individual investigation teams have even reached as far as Southeast Asia, Russian Siberia and the Far East. It's the world's largest travel survey.
The contents of their travel investigations were all-encompassing. They left behind 32 travel diaries and billions of words of investigation reports. Their depth and breadth exceeded any investigation of China by previous governments before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The longest trip was Kenjiro Hayashi's survey trip to Xinjiang, which lasted 274 days. He trekked the Tianshan North Road and reached Yinli on the Sino-Russian border.
In fact, after the Anglo-Japanese alliance was established, for the sake of common interests, the two sides agreed to cooperate in investigating Russia's power in the Far East.
The British side is responsible for the investigation from India to the southwest line of Xinjiang, and the Japanese side is responsible for the investigation from Yinli, Xinjiang to Kulum, Mongolia.
Hatano Yosaku also participated in this investigation, but the route was different from Hayade Kenjiro. One takes the northern route, and the other takes the southern route of Tianshan.
It was precisely because his understanding of the country was even better than that of the Chinese that he was able to become Puyi's accompanying translator and by the way became an espionage agent placed beside Puyi.
Kenjiro Hayade was also a ruthless man. After entering Toa Doubun Academy, he did not return to his country for more than three years. He also wore Qing Dynasty pigtails and looked no different from the Chinese.
Hayade Kenjiro took out a Western sword: "This is the sword used by Akiyuki-senpai in the fencing club." Konoe Akijiro said: "It's no longer needed, please put it back in the fencing club." Hayade Kenjiro said: "I will take good care of it and look forward to practicing fencing with Akiyuki-senpai again." Konoe Akiyuki said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's just something external to me." Then he stood up and said,
"I'm leaving." Kenjiro Hayade said with tears in his eyes: "Take care!" After Konoe Akiyuki left, Kenjiro Hayade picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp. Hatano Yosaku on the side was shocked: "It's so good. Leave some wine for me!" - When Li Yu arrived in Shanghai, Bu Fangji, the president of St. John's University, and Shi Liangcai of Shenbao found him.
Bu Fangji said: "There are already students who can't wait to go north to the capital. I didn't expect you to come back so late." Li Yu quickly said: "Sorry, I went to Changsha temporarily." Shi Liangcai said: "There is good news. Let me tell you, after the notice was released, we recruited a very good person." Li Yu asked: "How good can he be?" Shi Liangcai said: "This person is proficient in English, Japanese, Russian and French, and understands international trade and She is a genius with knowledge of the laws of various countries!" Li Yu asked in surprise: "Is there really such a person?" Shi Liangcai said: "Of course! I think she should be able to become the best board secretary-level key person, and she is also a Beautiful young woman.”
"Ah?" Li Yu was even more surprised. Shi Liangcai smiled and said: "The notice said that there will be no gender discrimination. You won't refuse to recruit, right?" Li Yu said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it will be a waste of talents." Shi Liangcai said: "Don't go What you are doing is a waste of talent! I will take you to see her. Talents can’t be found all the time. The most lacking people in the country right now are people like this! We must not allow others to take advantage of them and take away outstanding talents! "
