Chapter 29 Assassination Squad
At that time, in Japan, Huang Xing and others reorganized the anti-Russian volunteer teams who were forced to be disbanded by the Japanese government into the Military National Education Association. The purpose was to "cultivate the spirit of martial arts and implement nationalism." There were nearly 200 members, and there were three methods: advocacy, uprising (some say secret friendship), and assassination. Yang Dusheng, Su Peng, He Haiqiao and others, the backbone members of the Military National Education Association, initiated the establishment of an assassination group as a subordinate organization of the Military National Education Association.
As a result, Zou Rong, who became famous for the founding of "China in the Twentieth Century", and was quite active among international students, was successfully developed into a member of the assassination group.
After the assassination group was established, Yang Dusheng, Su Peng, He Haiqiao and others returned to China and absorbed Cai Yuanpei, Wang Xiaoxu, Sun Yujun, Liu Shipei, Zhang Shizhao and others in Shanghai. Then, Yang Dusheng, Su Peng, He Haiqiao and Zhang Ji rushed to Beijing and rented a house in Caotou Hutong, intending to kill Cixi in the palace or the Summer Palace. However, he had been waiting for more than a month, but he had no idea how to start. Sichuan funds ran out and had to return disappointed.
The assassination group was established and had no contribution. Yang Dusheng and others were very unwilling to choose another target and prepared for the sacrificial flag of the killing ceremony. However, the plan was easy to formulate, but funds and weapons were difficult to obtain, so they had to ask for help from those left behind in Tokyo. Although Zou Rong had the financial support of Chen Wenqiang, Chen Fan followed Chen Wenqiang's advice and went to Japan to meet with Zou Rong with letters and mastered the financial expenditure of the newspaper. This was also Chen Wenqiang's deliberate arrangement, and he was interested in the newspaper's experience and financial management capabilities of Chen Fan, an old newspaperman.
In this way, although the newspaper has a good fortune, Zou Rong's articles were not easy to use. Chen Fan did not agree with this revolutionary action of assassination, so Zou Rong put his ideas on Chen Wenqiang. In his opinion, Chen Wenqiang was a figure in the Hong Gang and a good target for revolutionary development. Judging from his consistent performance, it is only a step away to develop Chen Wenqiang to become a revolutionary; and Chen Wenqiang has a wide connection and sufficient financial resources. If he can join the assassination group, wouldn't it make the assassination group more like a tiger?
After receiving the letter, Chen Wenqiang was very angry, angry that Zou Rong had hidden it from him for so long. Chen Wenqiang was not optimistic about the assassination group formed by passionate young people and scholars.
Assassination and assassination are technical jobs! You are an expert and a master, and you understand the difficulties of this job. If you are a professional, it would be fine. These people, let alone shooting live ammunition, probably have never even touched the gun. If you want to play this profession, you are simply underestimating the technical content of this industry, right?
Even though he was angry, Chen Wenqiang decided to help. Who told us to be a professional? It would be better to take on this dirty work. If those people were to mess around, what might happen?
As soon as the carriage moved, Caifeng's legs touched Chen Wenqiang again, temporarily interrupting his contemplation. The information from the touch seemed to be very different from her expression that was focusing on the outside. Chen Wenqiang felt that he was unconsciously teasing him. Since the relationship between him and Yao Fangbao was completely over the past few days, there seemed to be too many such situations, which made him feel a little eager to try.
"It's not what you thought, right?" Cai Feng suddenly turned her head, with uncertain confusion, "Maybe she was just curious. It's unlikely that a girl's house would really go to do those dangerous things."
"I, I'm not sure." Chen Wenqiang calmed down, paused for a moment, and said cautiously: "That's why I want to figure it out. The purpose of opening the laboratory is to let them learn more about chemistry, not about explosives and poisons."
Caifeng thought about it and asked in confusion: "How do you figure it out? Are you cross-examined? Isn't this good to do it?"
"Of course not interrogation." Chen Wenqiang smiled and shook his head, saying, "You just have to chat with her, then accidentally lift the explosives or poison, and I will observe her reaction next to her. Well, I know a little psychology. If she lies, I think she can almost see it."
Caifeng was obviously a little surprised, with a straightforward suspicion in her eyes, but she didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly to agree.
What they said was about patriotic girls. Because Qiangzhuo Laboratory is regularly open to patriotic girls students to facilitate their visit and internship, Chen Wenqiang accidentally heard several female students mentioned by Wang Zhuoran and their chemistry teachers. These people actually wanted to conduct dangerous experiments in the laboratory and wanted to learn about relevant knowledge about explosives and poisons.
What made Chen Wenqiang associate was naturally Cai Yuanpei, one of the members of the assassination group mentioned in Zou Rong's letter. He is the prime minister of the Patriotic Women's School. Does he want to develop a killer in the Patriotic Women's School? Does he have to use the equipment and reagents of Qiangzhuo Laboratory to carry out the weapons needed for assassination? According to the current conditions of Qiangzhuo Laboratory, if you have enough knowledge, it is indeed not very difficult to create explosives and poisons.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Qiangzhuo Laboratory, and two security guards ran out of the hut to prepare for routine inspection. When they saw that Chen Wenqiang was carrying Caifeng, they stood attentively and saluted, with a standard posture.
Chen Wenqiang and Caifeng entered the laboratory building and went directly to the second floor. The laboratory here was open to the patriotic girls' schools. Not far away, Chen Wenqiang had heard Wang Zhuoran's explanation, mixed with the girl's whispers. He turned around and raised his eyebrows at Caifeng. Caifeng nodded understandingly. Then the two of them walked lightly and walked in through the side door of the laboratory.
……………………
Historically, in the long river of modern Chinese history, assassination activities planned by revolutionaries in the late Qing Dynasty occupied a very important position. At the beginning of the anti-Qing revolution, the revolutionaries in the late Qing Dynasty identified three feasible revolutionary methods: propaganda and agitation, armed riots and political assassination. Propaganda and agitation are the means of "civilization" to arouse the people and mobilize millions of people to join the torrent of the anti-Qing revolution; armed riots and political assassination are the means of "mart" to inspire the people and mobilize the general public to join the struggle to overthrow the authoritarian government.
Therefore, "before revolutionary, assassination can broadcast the fire" has become a classic saying for revolutionaries to deal with the relationship between armed riots and political assassination. While launching an armed uprising, organizing assassination of Qing government officials also became a trend and was extremely popular.
For example, Song Jiaoren, the leader of the Tongmenghui, who is known for his moderateness, also briefly summarized the methods of armed revolution into "riots" and "assassination"; while Cai Yuanpei, the leader of the civilized Restoration Society, publicly advocated: "There are two ways of revolution: one is riots, and the other is assassination." Revolutionary leaders such as Zhang Taiyan, Chen Tianhua, Tao Chengzhang, and Huang Xing also agreed to political assassination to varying degrees.
