Wu Luzhen had not seen Chen Wenqiang yet, nor did he know that Chen Wenqiang was one of the core leaders of the Revival Society. He and Song Jiaoren continued to discuss and argue about the topic of revolution until late at night.

At this time, Chen Wenqiang was still sailing to the ship in Shanghai. He was lying on the bunk and slowly falling asleep, but he was thinking in a daze. Although he knew that he had to shoulder the burden again after waking up, when he tried to put down the burden, he suddenly felt full of vitality again. After a period of blankness in his mind, Chen Wenqiang felt that only the light shining on the eyeballs through his eyelids was warm. Then the blankness gradually calmed down and gradually healed...

The night is the same, whether it is a ship sailing on the sea or a city in Shanghai. But everyone is doing different things and has different moods.

Luo Deng was at his home in Shanghai and was having a showdown quarrel with Lina. He had been back for more than two months, but he didn't feel anything special. Lina was still so cold, to be precise, she was extremely cold and disgusted with the things between men and women. Until he knew the reason, which made him both angry and incredible.

"Well, now you know." After a brief shock, Lina seemed to have returned to calm and her voice rose a little. With a provocation, "I can't help but do this. You have never had any interest."

"At least it's more interesting than bringing the smelly woman named Mary into the house and into the bed." Roden said gritting his teeth.

Lina was silent for a while. Roden thought she was ashamed, but she shrugged and said, "Since you know, what should I do next?" She turned the cup in her hand, looking indifferent.

"If you know, why don't you say it?" Roden snorted mockingly.

"If you know me, why don't you say that?" Linna sneered and could be relieved of both, right?"

Roden felt his heart beating. Since it was made public, let's solve it. His feeling of relief was stronger.

It should be divorced.”

"Okay, just I hope I don't get involved in court."

"You mean I asked for a divorce but I couldn't defend myself?" Roden frowned.

"You are a gentleman." Lina said slowly, "Isn't that called a decent thing? Besides, what would you feel if this matter was made public? Many men do this, but few of them have such wives... There are wives with such interests as me..."

Lina's face changed a little, and Roden knew she was a little drunk. He stared at the woman, whose blue eyes were wide open, as colorful as the sky, how he was attracted by these eyes. Strangely, hatred seemed to disappear, and she could no longer hurt me, and what was replaced by a deep regret.

"As an interest, how do you get it? How do you become..." Roden said vaguely.

"Same-sex x love..." Lina saw Luo Deng nodding and smiled and her face turned away, "My father was entangled with me at that time."

"What did you say..." Roden widened his eyes in disbelief, "Is it your father?"

“I started when I was fourteen. Amazed?

Roden shook his head and tried to accept and understand all this.

"Why do you think he brought me with me for the first time in Shanghai? My mother wanted to come, but he just didn't let her come together." Lina drank wine, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

"I can't believe it! It's your father, this beast." Luo Deng roared.

"I've told you a lot. You're too naive." Linna smiled, neither sad nor happy, "It makes me hate men."

"Then" Roden stared at Lina and asked in confusion: "Since that's the case, why did you agree to my proposal and why did you marry me?"

"Or why would I come to China?" Lina spread her hands and asked back, "How can I get out of that old goat? I think at least I should try it, right? After looking for you, both goals have been achieved."

Luo Deng was speechless, slowly walked to the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it gulp. He heard Lina sigh behind him, then walked out of the door slowly and climbed the stairs. Whether it was because of fatigue or relief, Luo Deng sighed long. It was really a serious illness, and it was like a dream...

There is such a famous tragic figure in ancient Greek mythology: Sisyphus. In the endless years, he pushed the huge rocks to the top of the mountain again and again, and returned in vain again and again. In the dark years of the late Qing Dynasty, countless people of lofty ideals also played the role of Sisyphus again and again in order to find the ideal country of light in their hearts.

The huge rocks are not unwilling to push to the top of the mountain, and a dynasty is not unwilling to collapse. History has never imposed any lasting fate prophecy on a nation. Fortunately, this time, the backs of the huge rocks are increasingly driven, and the huge rocks that are driving the huge rocks will also be shaken by them.

Although the Revival Association did not choose to join the Tongmenghui due to differences in concepts and path choices, in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, it was still happy to see it and regarded it as an ally of the revolution.

From a general perspective, the Revival will look further, but it also has the same or similar goal with the Tongmenghui, which is to anti-Qing. Since the paths are different and the strategies are different, then you do yours and I do mine. If there is an intersection, then negotiate and seek cooperation. Anyway, before the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the two sides are unlikely to become enemies.

"Xingzhong Association, Huaxing Association, and Liberation Association" Chen Wenqiang returned to Shanghai, and did not have time to rest, and immediately discussed with Song Jiaoren the relevant matters of the preparations for the Tongmeng Association. "Will this be a merger or a united revolutionary group?"

"It should be a merger." Song Jiaoren replied with more certainty, "The Tongmenghui has confirmed that its political program is the sixteen-character program proposed by Beichen, and has renamed the Huaxinghui official publication "China of the Twentieth Century" "Minbao."

"All the parties established by the people of the country have the same purpose as our association. Those who are willing to join forces are generally considered members of the Tongmenghui." Chen Wenqiang shook his head repeatedly after reading this, frowned and said, "Is this a bit hasty? As long as they are anti-Qing**, they are considered members. Who are the robbers, and the thieves are also comrades?"

"I think it's because it's to strengthen its strength and expand its influence." Song Jiaoren said in his own understanding: "At least in the sense of spreading momentum, the association has a huge role."

"The gain is not worth the loss." Chen Wenqiang disagreed with this, "What kind of climate can a group of old-style gang members become? I have seen it in Qiongzhou. The organization is dispersed and difficult to restrain. If the gang is united, it will be even more troublesome. You have to be the boss, and I also want to be the boss. I don't have much strength, but I think I am strong."

"The feudal thought of the association really needs to be transformed and used again." Song Jiaoren remembered the lesson of the premature death of the Changsha Uprising. Before the incident was launched, the association has begun to be crazy, which shows the looseness of its organizational discipline.

"I still have the same opinion. If the alliance is not in line, I regard the soon-to-be-established Tongmenghui as a revolutionary alliance that can be cooperated with, but I do not regard it as a comrade of this association." Chen Wenqiang reiterated his opinion.

"It's better to deal with it this way for the time being." Song Jiaoren pondered for a moment and said, "Then send a telegram to Yang Dusheng to show his attitude. As for whether he can get together in the future, it depends on the situation! By the way, you have talked with Wu Shouqing, what do you think?"

Chen Wenqiang thought about it and commented concisely: "I speak so well, I am arbitrary in my work. I don't like being inferior to others."

Song Jiaoren blinked and asked in confusion: "Is this a compliment or a criticism? Just tell me if he can take the big responsibility?"

"Haha." Chen Wenqiang smiled and said, "In military terms, he is naturally better than both of us. But he is not Zhuge Liang who is completely unscrupulous. If he can realize this, form a general staff department, and accept advice, I still agree that he is in charge of military affairs."

"That's it." Song Jiaoren nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then I'll talk to him again. I hope he can get rid of his arbitrary habits."

"The German staff system is worth learning." Chen Wenqiang suggested: "The best way to exert collective wisdom. How many famous generals in the world can succeed by relying on their own planning? With the staff department, the chief officer can choose the most reasonable, correct and confident way of winning. Even if there is a mistake, I don't think it will be bad."

"If you say so, can you and I command the army?" Song Jiaoren smiled and shook his head, expressing doubts about Chen Wenqiang's statement.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wenqiang was quite sure, "Didn't there be many examples of winning in ancient times? As long as middle and lower-level officers are of high quality, the requirements for the commander will naturally not be so high. Therefore, I was anxious to establish a military school and train officers. If Wu Shouqing could not take on this important task, I would be hiring from Germany with a high salary."

"Why are you so inclined to Germany?" Song Jiaoren asked in confusion: "Do you know, the US president has allowed West Point Military Academy to recruit Chinese people."

"Under the current situation, send people to the United States to learn?" Chen Wenqiang shook his head flatly, "On the contrary, it is time to recruit people from the United States. Those with knowledge, wealth and skills are all the talents we need. Shanghai and Qiongzhou can be placed. Well, I have arranged people to appeal in newspapers and media and sent invitations to invite Chinese people traveling to the United States to return to China."

In July 1905, Guangdong Daily published an editorial "On the Relationship between Insulting to the Competition and Resisting the US Contract", which started with the Qing Dynasty officials who went to other countries to participate in activities and were criticized by customs officers. It was related to the social background of the people's resistance to the US insulting China at that time, hoping to arouse people's unity and self-improvement. There are also sentences in the article "Outsiders' contempt of Chinese people have been no longer the beginning, but they are still lying under the ** government. Outsiders have to use their intimidation methods to pretend to be in the Qing government to control our people" and have connected the resistance to oppression of foreign countries and opposing the feudal ** government, which shows people's support.

Most of the American Chinese workers came from Guangdong. Since the late 19th century, they were treated harshly in the United States, which made their relatives and fellow villagers feel strongly dissatisfied. Therefore, their relatives and fellow villagers naturally think that they should play a more important role in anti-American rejection. On the other hand, the outbreak of anti-American sentiment in Guangzhou in the early 20th century was not only stimulating from activities in Shanghai, but also from the xenophobic tradition and spirit of resistance since the mid-19th century.

As early as May, the Shanghai business community held a conference to oppose the long-term discrimination and abuse of Chinese and Chinese workers in the United States. In addition to the directors of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, there were also Yang Shiqi, the right-sponsor of the Ministry of Commerce and Chinese and foreign journalists. The conference first passed two proposals, one was because the Treaty on Restricting Chinese Workers to the United States to Protect Chinese People's Apartments in the United States expired, and opposed the government's renewal of the new contract with the United States; the other was that the US government deleted and revised the Chinese Exclusion Act within a specified period, and treated Chinese workers and Chinese businessmen fairly, otherwise it would boycott American goods.

Subsequently, the conference was led by Zeng Zhu, President of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce to "refuse to urge the mercy of the two countries" and called on Hankou, Tianjin, Chongqing, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Changsha and other 21 commercial ports and chambers of commerce across the country, demanding joint action and proposed specific boycott measures. Because the United States refused to change its contract and the suppression measures were implemented as scheduled, various parts of China launched a vigorous campaign to suppress the US goods.

In the campaign to boycott American goods, Guangzhou is especially the most radical. It can be said that from gentry, wealthy businessmen, students, workers, gamblers, prostitutes, and the whole people are on the battlefield.

At that time, many newspapers and magazines published news from all walks of life in Guangzhou. The owner posted posters on the doors of the shop, and the doors of the houses were also posted with big-character posters with "My home doesn't buy American goods"; the gamblers in the casino refused to smoke American cigarettes, the women in the fair refused to accompany the guests who used American goods, the boatman refused to carry American goods, the barber refused to cut hair for Americans, the students refused to wear foreign cloth shirts, the cake workshop and the housewife refused to make mooncakes with American flour, etc.

Chen Wenqiang was happy to see this boycott of US goods and was fueling the fire. Because he realized that this trend would directly stimulate the people's awareness of domestic goods, play a great role in promoting the development of China's national industry, and his factory and enterprises.

Moreover, Chen Wenqiang also suggested that Song Jiaoren use various opportunities to enrich his political capital, which naturally includes this boycott of American goods. Newspaper media has a revival, and how can we not use it for ready-made opportunities to become famous?

"How much money does it take to immigrate to Qiongzhou and then resettle Chinese people living in the United States?" Song Jiaoren was a little shocked.

"Isn't there a bank? If you want to apply for a low-interest loan, they can still give me such face." Chen Wenqiang smiled indifferently: "It's really not possible, I'll open a bank too. The Zhang brothers in Nanyang have a Hinata Bank in Sumatra, and they really want to expand their business to China!"

"Let's do whatever you want!" Song Jiaoren had no choice but to do this. The funds for the Revival Society were not short of. Since Chen Wenqiang was rich, he would not be easy to intervene no matter how much he spent it.
