As early as the three southern counties set up during the Qin Shihuang period, Yazhou was one of the Xiang County. (...) It became the southernmost prefecture-level county in China during the Song Dynasty. Because it was isolated overseas, it has been known as "the poorest island", "the gate of hell", and "the ends of the earth" since ancient times.

It is precisely because it has not been vigorously developed, with a small population and no strict prevention, that has become Chen Wenqiang's choice. When he arrived at Yulin Port in Yazhou on a boat, what he saw was indeed a deserted and deserted scene. But Chen Wenqiang didn't care. The sunshine, sea water, beaches, climate, forests, hot springs... With these elements, wouldn't it be a beautiful and good place for vacation?

When he abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, Chen Wenqiang was no longer as low-key as he was in Guangzhou. He had a full set of official uniforms and twenty strong members of the Ziqiang Business Group guarded the warrior with guns and stepped onto the dock with high spirits. Well, Chen Wenqiang did not regard his fourth-rank official as his idle position and alternate position. In this place where the emperor was far away, he regarded himself as the biggest commander. Not to mention the fact that you yamen runners have the people I brought to? In addition, Chen Wenqiang is very brave. Not to mention the words of the Governor Cen Chunxuan, he dared to fool people even the emperor and the empress dowager.

With the help of the gods, Chen Wenqiang didn't notice anyone coming to pay homage. He was worshiping! There were only three or two guys who seemed to be soldiers, timidly hiding from a distance and peeking at this side.

Of course, there were people who came to greet him, including Du Zijun, Yi Benxi who was standing in front of the station, and a few foreigners and a group of porters.

Seeing Chen Wenqiang's appearance, Du Zijun and Yi Benxi wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. When he walked closer, he didn't know what to call him for a moment. Chen Wenqiang grinned, smiled uglyly, and waved his hand and said, "You are familiar with the situation, just arrange it casually!"

After getting into the carriage, Du Zijun introduced the sudden situation to Chen Wenqiang to Yazhou with the sound of hooves.

"... The magistrate of the Gou County was lucky enough to save his life, but dozens of iron sand were caught on his back and buttocks, and he was lying in the county yard screaming." Du Zijun showed a happy smile on his face, "He was so scared that he was dying. Summoned the yamen runners and the soldiers in the city and took strict precautions. Therefore, there were only a few soldiers left on the dock who were checking. Seeing Wen Qiang's official power, he didn't even dare to ask."

Chen Wenqiang frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "In the letter, you said that this county magistrate is cowardly and incompetent, fearing like a tiger, and the land sale is going smoothly. Why did Wan Fuhua and the others suddenly attack such a guy again? Is there any change?"

Du Zijun remembered that they took foreigners to the county government to handle the land sale and sneered in contempt. At that time, the small magistrate of Yazhou actually received them with the etiquette of welcoming the officials. The arrogant and foreigner-mouthed foreigner immediately frightened the county magistrate. While talking, the county magistrate was addicted to smoking, and she burst into tears and yawned all over the sky. She was embarrassed to be arrogant in front of the foreigner, and she worked very hard. When the translation explained the future meaning, the county magistrate and the master only whispered a few words and agreed happily.

The government was afraid of foreigners and foreigners were afraid of the people. At that time, such a phenomenon was common and not surprising.

"Wan Fuhua and the others were originally going to assassinate Fan Yundi, the magistrate of Wanxian County. Because he was very honest and had political reputations everywhere he went, he set his goal as the magistrate of Yazhou." Du Zijun explained: "Besides, they think that creating chaos in Yazhou will be very beneficial to your arrival."

Chen Wenqiang thought for a while and shook his head, "It's not like that. You're not thinking about it. This county magistrate is cowardly and incompetent. It is more conducive to our control and development. If a smart and capable official is replaced, wouldn't it be hindered everywhere? If Fan Yundi is a good official, you don't want to kill him. But it should be okay to hurt him? Wanxian (Wanzhou) is the place where the rebellion is planned. It's very unfavorable to have such a good official in charge!"

Du Zijun frowned and pondered for a while, patted his thigh lightly, and said, "This is the reason, it's really a bad idea. But what should I do now?"

Chen Wenqiang smiled bitterly and said, "It's time for now, but fortunately the county magistrate is still alive. Since he is afraid of death, let's become Andingya Prefecture and protect him!"

"I have to do this." Du Zijun was a little helpless, but when he thought about it, it was nothing serious. He couldn't help but speak: "The self-reliant business group in Shanghai has been trained and has sixty or seventy young members who have come here in batches. Now there are nearly forty people pretending to be workers and working. Give them weapons, plus the more than twenty people you bring, such an armed force should be enough to maintain the peace of Yazhou and make the county officials rely on it."

"Then make the momentum bigger. Let's organize a fake attack so that the county magistrates understand our force and understand who should rely on to protect our lives and the people." Chen Wenqiang's thinking changed quickly, and the new plan immediately took shape. "The establishment of commercial groups in various places is allowed by the court. Although cross-regional operations are definitely not possible, as long as you change your name, it will be fine to change it from Shanghai Ziqiang Commercial Group to Yazhou Commercial Group. I think it seems more beneficial. In the future, the merchant group may become militia groups, so we can firmly grasp the defense of Yazhou!"

There are inherent reasons why merchant groups, fishing groups, and militia groups were able to appear in large numbers and openly in the late Qing Dynasty when social changes were drastically changed. The Qing Dynasty was in financial difficulties and could no longer afford too many soldiers. Even the new army was trained and trained, but it was not fully trained by the time the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. Moreover, the weapons and equipment in the new army were different, and only the guns and cannons in the Beiyang towns were fully woven.

Due to the lack of troops to suppress the local area and the old-style army faced decommissioning, people were dispersed and had no combat effectiveness, and the rise of local bandits, the public security situation was very bad at that time. Forced by helplessness, the Qing government had to use the financial resources of merchants and gentry to form an armed force to maintain local public security. For example, militia groups were mostly controlled by local gentry and were too scattered, and government officials did not fully master the military officials as originally thought. However, merchant groups, militia groups and other armed forces did not have the strong intervention of the government's supervision and management. Such things were very common. Some Qing officials reported that this was "raising a tiger is a disaster, and the gain is not worth the loss."

The carriage stopped in Yalang Bay (now Yalong Bay) in the eastern suburbs of Yazhou City. Two rows of two-story buildings of civil and industrial buildings have been built, and there are still houses on the construction site not far away.

The blue sky, bright and warm sunshine, fresh and moist air, rolling green mountains, various rocks, primitive and quiet mangroves, calm waves, clear and transparent sea water, white and delicate beaches, and coconut shadows on the coastline.

Looking from a distance and close, Chen Wenqiang has great pleasure. This is the paradise in his dream. If he could accompany his lover to his old age, what else could his husband want?

Yalang Bay is still an unknown remote beach. For most people, vacation and leisure are still not in their minds.

"The hospital is fifteen miles northeast, five or six miles away from the industrial base." Du Zijun pointed the direction and introduced it. "From the construction speed of more than two months, it is already very fast. Of course, the investment is also huge. More than 2,000 workers have been recruited, and the total cost has exceeded 300,000."

"Money is not a problem. The key is speed." Chen Wenqiang smiled indifferently, with a hint of ruthlessness in his smile.

The defeat and the killing of the local merchants in Chaozhou was afraid of the local merchants, and easily destroyed several small local merchants. Chen Wenqiang turned his attention to a larger target. The Shanghai Eagle Business Federation. The British Meller, the Persian Tate, the Indian Dasto and the Baghdad Jew Ezra were the four leaders of the Federation.

Kidnapping and extortion. He sent the fingers, teeth, ears, noses and other items of the four guys to their families piece by piece until they spit out the evil money they earned. Each person was at least one million, which was the price set by Chen Wenqiang. At the same time, it was also a plan he personally formulated, from kidnapping, imprisonment, delivery of letters, dismemberment, and collecting money... He carefully planned every step, and inspected the imprisonment site on the spot, and explained the details of the action to the killer group in Longxingtang.

Chen Wenqiang was relieved to the killer group. Not only did they already have skills, but they were also loyal. Those who were half-hearted had long been eliminated. Chen Wenqiang obtained accurate information by exploring other people's psychology, and he also dealt with extremely strict rules and regulations. Among the core figures of Longxingtang, he is now respectful and fearful to Chen Wenqiang and absolutely obeyed.

Sometimes, loyalty is still very beneficial. Chen Wenqiang often lamented that it is easy to conquer a man with simple minds and simple minds, but a person with knowledge and thoughts makes him feel powerless at all times.

The road is wrong, the bigger the steps, the faster the deviate, and the further away from the goal. As long as the direction is correct, the further forward will be one step closer. From the perspective of the development of the Revival Society, although there has not been any earth-shaking major things, no one should think it is slow. With the support of abundant funds, branches in various places have been established one after another, and as many as five or six newspapers as mouthpieces are already. Compared with other revolutionary groups, the gap can be seen better.

"The construction speed can be guaranteed, and the contact with the association will be smooth." Du Zijun shook his head gently and sighed, "It's just that I think these people in the martial arts world are of great use."

"Of course it won't work if you pull it over." Chen Wenqiang glanced at Du Zijun and asked with a smile: "Tell me what you think, after all, you have contacted Zheng Hongming and the others."

"I have a lot of feudal ideas. The organization is scattered, and the quality is uneven, which is quite difficult to control." Du Zijun said with a wry smile: "I am still against the Qing Dynasty and restored Ming Dynasty. I don't know what the revolution is? However, I'm quite angry. I said that as long as the salary and equipment are sufficient, he can summon tens of thousands of people in the "Three Points Meeting" to riots across Qiong. And I plan to use Chengmai, Lingao, Danzhou, and thankful Changhua to the west, and use Qiongshan, Wenchang, Lehui, Wanzhou, Lingshui, and Yazhou as the east road to drive the Qing army out of Qiongzhou."

"Haha, is it confidence or bragging?" Chen Wenqiang laughed and said, "I think he is greedy for food and equipment and confusing people with big talk."

"The people we sent cannot play their due role in the three points meeting. Zheng Hongming and other leaders accepted our people, but they were also wary of them." Du Zijun's dissatisfaction was beyond words, "As you said, they were indeed greedy for wages and had to make some gestures."

"It's great that you can see this." Chen Wenqiang paused for a moment without hiding his appreciation, and then said: "Many revolutionary groups are suffering from impatient diseases. As long as they are anti-Qing, they will ignore the consequences and ignore the consequences. The unreliable association party is what I mentioned before, but it is not very convincing. You and other comrades have a lot of contact with the association party in Qiongzhou, and they have a real experience. Writing a report will be very beneficial for the headquarters to reconsider the strategic deployment."

"Then" Du Zijun hesitated for a moment and asked, "How to clean up such a big stall in Qiongzhou?"

"Rely on our own strength." Chen Wenqiang waved his hand decisively, "Using the name of development and construction, we can transport a large number of progressive young people here. Even if we recruit poor people in the country and carry out educational organizations, we can still form a team, a team that is completely revolutionary, disciplined and obeys command."

"Is the line of Zheng Hongming cut off?" Du Zijun asked tentatively: "He only knows the Fuxing Society, but he doesn't know your identity, and he doesn't know that the industry here serves the Fuxing Society."

Chen Wenqiang narrowed his eyes and sneered: "If you can't rely on it, then use it. Slowly withdraw our people and give them some of them. With such a force, wouldn't it be legitimate to have armed forces?"

"Support the thief to be respectful?" Du Zijun blurted out and then smiled embarrassedly, "This is a bad thing. It should be to protect the country and the people."

"Same meaning." Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly and pointed to the built house. "The residential area is surrounded by walls, so safety work must be done well. If it is too late tonight, let's hold a meeting here!"

…………………

Shanghai.

The night is quiet and the lights are bright. Song Jiaoren, who served as the chief editor of Minli Daily six years earlier than in history, is studying hard. The newly-built bookshelf is almost all about books about Western capitalist political theory and social systems.

In history, Song Jiaoren began to publicly and targetedly criticize current affairs and explain his political views, which should have started in 1905, which is almost the same as the current time. At that time, the Qing government was preparing for constitutionalism in a situation of internal and external difficulties, and carried out careful reforms without endangering the rule of those in power. Song Jiaoren had already seen that these reforms like women with small feet were not so much learning from the West, but as the Qing government used the political tools of Westerners to consolidate its own dominance. Therefore, he believed that "the constitutionalization of the Qing court" was a false veil and would definitely not succeed.

In the subsequent great debate between the Revolutionary Party and the reformists represented by Liang Qichao, Song Jiaoren, like Zhang Taiyan, kept a considerable distance from the debate and respected the constitutionalists.

With this calmness and reason alone, Song Jiaoren's thoughts and character are very similar to Chen Wenqiang, and he has a very consistent understanding and recognition of the theories proposed by Chen Wenqiang and the revolutionary strategy of the Revival Society.

The failure of the Changsha uprising made Song Jiaoren doubt and concern about the ability of the association, which is very similar to Chen Wenqiang's lack of hope for the association.

In short, Song Jiaoren, who gradually replaced Cai Yuanpei as the president of the Revival Association, was constantly systematically learning Western political concepts, and just as Chen Wenqiang expected, he cooperated with him more and more tacitly.
