This is not the first time Qin Bing invites Qiao Yu to join the alliance. In the past, Qiao Yu has never formally agreed, but seeing Qin Bing's attitude today, he is very sincere, and Yu Peilun's face is full of hope.
Qiao Yu couldn't help thinking that when he came to the late Qing Dynasty, he would definitely have to deal with these revolutionary parties. It would be good to wear the hat of a revolutionary party for the time being. Anyway, it is just a coat and can be thrown away at any time. As long as it is not
Just go with Qin Bing to participate in the Huanghuagang Uprising. Having made up his mind, Qiao Yu said with a smile: "Brother Qin, I have traveled in Europe and the United States, and I am very aware of the decadence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It is great to be able to do something for our nation.
My pleasure!"
"Brother Shunqing, are you willing to join us?"
"That's natural. Please take care of me more in the future, big brother!"
"Shun Qing, don't worry, you are a great talent. Our alliance lacks military talents like you, so that several uprisings failed. Sir is already preparing for a new uprising. I must recommend you to sir.
Let you command us!"
Qiao Yu's head swelled when he heard this. Could it be that the uprising he was preparing now would be the Huanghuagang Uprising? Wouldn't this make him a martyr?
"Of course I am willing to save the country, but I still have some ideas. I still have something to hide from my two older brothers. My father was an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he was the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The family is quite powerful. The Chinese Tai
It's too big. I'm afraid that revolts in one place and two places will not be able to completely overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After all, there are still hundreds of years of accumulated power, and the people's wisdom is not yet developed. If we want the uprising to be completely successful, we can't do it alone. So I want to try to convince my family.
, as long as the family can support it, it is not difficult to start an uprising in Sichuan."
Upon hearing this, Qin Bing and Yu Peilun opened their eyes wide and were very surprised. They were both from Sichuan and knew the name of the Qiao family. They did not expect that the young man in front of them was actually the son of the Qiao family. They
But knowing the power of the Qiao family, if the Qiao family can be won over, the alliance's strength in Chongqing will definitely increase dramatically.
"Brother Qiao, it's so hard for you to hide this from us!"
"Two brothers, a man should be self-reliant and can't rely on his family all the time!" Qiao Yu had no choice but to find such an excuse, but Yu Peilun gave him a thumbs up.
"Brother Xian is a man of ability and ambition. It would be best if he could launch an uprising in Sichuan. Bashu is deep inland and has a great influence. Moreover, we have many brothers in Sichuan, especially Mr. Yang Cangbai, the leader of the alliance.
He is a great hero, a real hero. I can contact Mr. Yang Cangbai. I think Sichuan will soon be able to change its situation."
Qiao Yu looked at Yu Peilun, who was in a very high mood, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, is revolution so easy? The Qing court's hundreds of years of accumulated prestige can be overthrown with just one sentence. Without careful arrangements, there is no possibility of success.
If it hadn't been for the wave of the road protection movement, I'm afraid the Revolution of 1911 would have been a few years later. Moreover, even if the Qing government was overthrown, it would only be the first step in a journey of thousands of miles. There would only be more suffering in the future, but these words are
You can't tell Yu Peilun.
"Who is this Mr. Yang Cangbai and how can I contact him?"
"Yang Cangbai's name is Yang Shukan. He is the main ally of the Sichuan Alliance. He is prestigious and knowledgeable. He is a person who does great things. He has been working hard for the Sichuan revolutionary cause. Dear brother, please return to Sichuan first. Then we will let Mr. Yang
I took the initiative to contact you."
Qiao Yu nodded in agreement. Isn't this Yang Shu the future governor of Sichuan? Several people talked a lot about how to overthrow the Qing court. Although Qiao Yu deliberately tried to deal with it, the few things he said inadvertently were enough to make Qin
Bing and Yu Peilun were filled with admiration. They were naturally happy to be able to win over such a talent. Mikijiro also interrupted from time to time. Qiao Yu really hated the Japanese's inadvertent sense of superiority, so he had to leave hastily...
"Brothers, Mr. Miki, there is no further delay. I will go to Shanghai first, and then take a boat back to Sichuan. Get ready as soon as possible. Any delay will cause the Manchus to do more evil!" Qin Bing and Yu Peilun didn't have much at all.
I think, on the contrary, I thought Qiao Yu was sincere, encouraged him a few words, and left for the time being.
The next day, Qiao Yu went to buy a boat ticket and prepared to return to China. Qin Bing had something to do, so he did not see Qiao Yu off, but Yu Peilun came to see Qiao Yu off. Yu Peilun seemed very emotional.
"Shun Qing, I have been away from my hometown for many years. It is a great blessing to be reunited with my relatives. I only hope that the revolution will succeed so that I can fulfill my filial piety in front of my two elders. Now I can only be an unfilial son. I have a letter from my family here.
Xin, please take it home for me. If you have time, come and see my parents and elders for me. I have forgotten my home for the sake of my country, so I can’t help them!"
Qiao Yu took the thin letter from home and sighed in his heart. Yu Peilun didn't know that he would be in a situation where he would die before leaving the army. He was afraid that he would never be able to see his family again. "Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. I will definitely keep the letter
Delivered, but Brother Yu still needs to pay attention to his own safety."
"If I choose revolution, I have put my life and death aside for a long time. Dear brother, I am going to Hong Kong to plan the uprising. I only hope that the uprising will succeed, the world will return to the hands of the Han family, and we brothers will still have time to meet each other.
"
Yu Peilun is indeed a passionate warrior. Qiao Yu knows that he is best at making bombs. He made more than 300 bombs for the Huanghuagang Uprising. However, his efforts did not change the result of failure. Looking at this tragic hero, Qiao Yu felt
Suddenly I felt sore.
"Brother Yu, have you ever thought about what kind of country we should build after the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Can we be self-reliant without an emperor? Are the leaders you call really as selfless as you imagine? Revolution
Is it just to overthrow a court? Can those people build a new China?"
Qiao Yu suddenly asked questions, like a barrage of questions, which made Yu Peilun speechless. He never expected that Qiao Yu would change his tone. His face turned red and he was about to refute.
"Brother Yunji, I don't want to argue with you. I just want to advise you not to make useless sacrifices. That's all I have to say. We will meet again later!" After saying that, Qiao Yu went straight to the passenger ship. He originally
He didn't want to interfere with the process of history. Since Yu Peilun was on the list of martyrs, there was no need to save him. However, after spending some time together, Yu Peilun was a nice person and very talented. Qiao Yu really didn't want to see him die like this.
That's why I warned him, but it seemed like he didn't listen.
Sitting on a passenger ship, crossing the ocean, Qiao Yu headed straight for the magical city of Shanghai. The ship was not very fast, and it took nearly four days to get to Shanghai. Qiao Yu happened to be hiding in the cabin thinking about the future.
Sichuan's Land of Abundance is an excellent place. It has a lot of potential in terms of resources and location. The most important thing is that it is inland. It can avoid the interference of foreign powers. It can develop on its own behind closed doors, set up factories, raise an army, seize political power, and promote civil rights.
, fighting for sovereignty externally and eradicating bad governance internally, there are really a lot of things to be done to change this old empire. Qiao Yu kept sketching out plans one after another in his mind. China during the Republic of China was extremely complicated, and the powers of the great powers were rampant.
, countless heroes have risen and then fallen, and there are shadows of great powers behind them.
At this time, China was just a piece of meat, and anyone could eat a piece of it. These great powers did not want bones to come out of the meat, so they were always playing with balancing methods, whether it was Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin or even Sun Yat-sen.
They are all inevitably destined to be manipulated by the great powers.
It can be said that without the strength to compete with the great powers, there is no way to change the situation of the Republic of China. Qiao Yu kept thinking in his heart that he might become a chess piece in the future, but he must have the strength to change his destiny and truly become a chess player.
of people….
After getting off the ship in Shanghai, Qiao Yu only felt that he was full of energy. He was no longer a half-dead white-collar worker, but an ambitious and ambitious young man. God sent him to this era where all the heroes were coming together, and he was so proud of himself.
Love, we must let this era dance to its own rhythm.
After spending two days in Shanghai, the rubber stock market crash is raging in Shanghai, leaving Shanghai in mourning. The ten-mile foreign market has lost its former prosperity. Qiao Yu also paid attention to it. Many things happened in the late Qing Dynasty.
The stock market crash largely consumed the wealth of the Qing Dynasty, and because of this loophole, Sheng Xuanhuai wanted to nationalize the railways, which then triggered the road protection movement. In this way, the wheels of history were turned, and eventually the Qing government was completely wiped out.
bury.
But now Qiao Yu has no ability to change anything. He just feels more urgent, so he gets on the boat again and goes straight to Sichuan. The transportation at this time is really incomparable with that of later generations. The speed is extremely slow and extremely uncomfortable. Taking a boat
It almost made Qiao Yu vomit. Just when he could hardly bear it anymore, the passenger ship arrived in Chongqing.
As soon as he got off the ferry, Qiao Yu saw several family members surrounding a man in his thirties, waving to him. Qiao Yu recognized that it was his elder brother Qiao Cheng who had come to pick him up, and ran a few steps hurriedly.
"Lao San, you are finally back!"
Qiao Cheng was less than thirty years old, but he was very mature and prudent. He also truly loved his brother and saved Qiao Yu at once.
"Brother, how are your parents?"
"Both elders are fine, but they always miss you. It's been five years since you left. When I received the telegram, not to mention how happy I was. Didn't this urge me to pick you up? Let's go to my uncle's house first, and then we will
Just go home!”
Qiao Yu's uncle is Bai Kuan, a famous big businessman in Dongchuan. He owns dozens of pawnshops, banks, hotels and cloth shops. His family is extremely wealthy and they live in Chongqing. Bai Kuan has no son, so he is very interested in Qiao Yu.
Brothers are the best and we treat them as our own children.
"Why isn't uncle here? Do you hate my nephew?"
"What are you talking about? My uncle has been thinking about you all day long, but he is really too busy now. Our uncle is planning to open a factory!"
Opening a factory? A sudden thought occurred in Qiao Yu's mind. Isn't he also planning to build a few factories? They can make money and recruit people. It will be easier to cope with the Xinhai period.
"What factory is uncle planning to build?"
"In the textile factory, in the past two years, foreign cloth has been booming, and homespun cloth has become more and more difficult. My uncle's shop has been squeezed out by competitors. Don't you just want to open your own factory out of anger? I have been busy for more than half a year, and now I am talking about machines with foreigners.
Something happened."
I really want to be devastated. Don’t I also want to set up a factory? Can I use my uncle’s foundation? “Brother, haven’t you ever thought about setting up a factory?”
Qiao Cheng was obviously a little surprised. The Qiao family was much more conservative than the Bai family and had no intention of running an industry. Qiao Cheng obviously didn't expect that his third brother would actually propose to set up a factory of his own.
"Third brother, setting up a factory requires talents, technology, space, machines, and even more money. It's difficult. Besides, our old man wants to cultivate and educate his family. Will he allow us to set up a factory?"
"Brother, in recent years, the slogan of saving the country through industry has been very loud. Many factories have appeared in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. To be honest, some are profitable and some are not. We don't have any decent factories in Sichuan yet. If we can be the first
Crab eaters, we are absolutely sure to make a lot of money, and the difficulties you just mentioned are not difficult!" Qiao Yu found that a good opportunity appeared in front of him. He must complete his brother's work.
"We have no shortage of money. As for talents, my younger brother is willing to recruit more money. It will take some effort to recruit machines, land, etc., but we can co-operate with my uncle and use the foundation he has laid!"
"Is this okay? Why do I feel like we are taking advantage of uncle!"
"How can we call it taking advantage? It will definitely be a lot of trouble for my uncle to run the factory alone. If we work together, we will definitely save a lot of trouble. And if we hand over the big part to uncle, it will be over. This is called a win-win situation!"
