Chapter 116: Drainage to Save People

He was full of chivalrous spirit and strong spirit, but he was like a dragon trapped in the shallows and had no way to perform. He even had to bow his waist for five dou of rice. Although he went to Xunxi Girls' School to teach, although it was not condescending, it was far from Qiu Jin's original intention.

Besides, she had no choice but to see and hear the injustice in front of her, and she had no choice but to help her. She was powerless. She was not as good as a rude man who only made the name of Xingyitang lit up, and let the boss retreat, and even pointed out the way for the father and daughter who were desperate.

Chen Wenqiang, yes, Qiu Jin knew this name and his achievements. When the revolutionary passion was burning, she looked down on this person who was willing to "savive the country through science" and "strengthening industry" under the Qing Dynasty. She even agreed with the revolutionary cadres in the Tongmenghui to call them "despicable and shameless, willing to be slaves."

But now, she could only watch the girl who was only thirteen years old gasping, coughing up blood, and entering the gates of hell, but she was powerless; while the "shameless" "slave" may have reborn because of the new drug invented.

According to what Beichen said, "Before the liberation, the rescue of the country is not ours, and the purpose of the other tribe is the strength of other tribes." Can saving thousands of lives also be said to be "the rescue of the people not ours"? If we talk about practical work and action, perhaps the Xingyitang and the Chinese Association in Shanghai do more than the Revolutionary Party?

Having talked a lot but achieved nothing, Qiu Jin became more and more despised the international students in Tokyo. She bought some soup and gave it to the man named Lao Li to see Lao Li feed the girl named Xian'er. Only such practical actions may give her some psychological comfort. But Xian'er took a few sips and coughed again, spitting out a large piece of thick phlegm with blood.

"I have to reduce her fever." Qiu Jin hated that she was not a doctor, so she could only apply a wet towel to the girl's head.

"I know." Old Li sighed heavily, "It's all tiring in that factory, and the work is very hard..."

In the silk reeling factory, all children have to work for twelve hours a day because their clever little hands are suitable for such work. Women sit on the bench opposite them, facing them. They have to stand and stir up the cocoons with their soft little hands. The cocoons are soaked in the boiled pot. After they find the silk head, they take it into the hand of the woman opposite. There are six silks wrapped around the other side, and then wrap them around the yarn blossom, and one child holds the silk heads for two women.

"A single window is not open because steam can soften the cocoons. The supervisors are very heartless. They slapped children in the face, and used sticks to hit women..." Old Li said more and more slowly, as if he was talking about the decorations in the store, while Qiu Jin listened more and more and more and more and more and more.

"The Chinese Guild in Shanghai is very powerful. The people who drive rickshaws in Shanghai are almost all from the guild. Behind them is Xingyi Hall, and there are foreign lawyers on the table." Old Li said in contemplation: "But they are very domineering. You heard just now that they may pay for a doctor to treat Xian'er's disease, but after it is cured, Xian'er will no longer be my daughter."

"That's not the case." Qiu Jin shook his head and explained the words of the big man just now, "Xian'er is still your daughter, but she has to work for them, and you can't sell her to others in the future."

"It's not the same." Old Li said stubbornly: "My daughter, why can't I make a decision?" After that, he glanced at Qiu Jin suspiciously.

Qiu Jin wanted to say something else, but saw Yao Hongye hurriedly coming and greeting her into the house.

"Are you going to Qiongzhou?" Qiu Jin was very surprised after hearing Yao Hongye's plan.

Yao Hongye opened the newspaper in his hand and showed Qiu Jin the report above, "Revolution, revolution, you see the Revival Society, that's the revolution. Is it useless? If you have the ability, learn the Revival Society and work with the court with real swords and guns."

Qiu Jin was immediately attracted by the report, read carefully, nodding slightly from time to time, and also looked admiring and admiring on her face.

"I think it's better for us to all go to Qiongzhou." Yao Hongye threw the appointment letter aside that he had not been put away on the table. "Xunxi may not be short of a female teacher, but the revolution in China really lacks bloody and hard-working revolutionaries. Combined with the uprising and riots of the Revival Society, they will carefully analyze their purpose. I think they are pragmatic and sincere, not ashamed of their words, and never stop talking."

"You are going to Qiongzhou to participate in the uprising, I don't object to this." Qiu Jin said cautiously: "But neither of you nor I am a member of the Revival Society, and you may not be accepted when you get there. Besides, what should I do if the travel fee to Qiongzhou?"

"Let's talk about it when you go." Yao Hongye turned the newspaper a page and pointed to the notice above and said: "The travel fee is easy to solve. Let's sign up for development and construction in Qiongzhou. As an immigration, the Zhongqiao Reclamation Company entrusts the Chinese Association to travel to Shanghai to fully act as an agent for immigration matters, but even the boat tickets, food and drink, and future resettlement are all included. Look at this, there are more preferential conditions for intellectuals! No matter what, it is better to stay here and waste food and clothing, and live a difficult life!"

Qiu Jin read it roughly and understood it, and said, "So that's it. This is why Zhongqiao Reclamation Company is worried that the riots and uprisings in Wanning, Qiongzhou will affect their immigration work, so she published it in the newspaper to explain that it is so relieved. Yaxian, isn't it very far from Wanning, right?"

"It's not far away, it's all in Qiongzhou anyway." Yao Hongye was so determined, and he really saw that he had no life. Going to Qiongzhou was a way. "Even if the Fuxing Society had a high vision and looked down on me, it would be okay to be a soldier and fight hard with a gun, right? Besides, the requirements for joining the Fuxing Society are not strict. It's all because we are very arrogant in Tokyo. We think that the people's rebellion is not firm enough and the revolution is not thorough enough. In fact, you see, Manchu Tieliang was killed by others, and Shi Jianru's revenge was avenged. It was also someone who did the uprising and rioting, and the attack on Wanning? But our Tongmenghui, just his lip service. Humph."

Qiu Jin frowned. She was a supporter of Manchu people with "great revenge" and did not agree with the "five-nation republic" of the Revival Society. However, the achievements made by the Revival Society are solid and unquestionable.

"The discipline of the Revival Society is very strict. I was a little disgusted at the beginning, but now I think about it, it's not without reason. If everyone does their own things, is it still a strong group?" Yao Hongye continued: "At least, there is no internal unity, no internal strife. Besides, 'killing all the people' and 'big revenge'. When I think about it carefully, I feel like an angry word. Women, children, young and old are chopping and killing you in front of you. I don't believe you can do it? Anyway, that's what I think. No matter what you do, I must go to Qiongzhou."

After Yao Hongye returned to China in anger in history, he either suffered from difficulties in life and had no way to escape, or felt that the Qing court's administration was getting worse and worse, and was filled with anger. He left behind a thousand words of death and threw himself into the Huangpu River. The Revival Society took the lead in uprising in Qiongzhou, and raised the banner of anti-Qing and anti-**; at the same time, he was led by the Chinese Association in Shanghai, and immigrated to Qiongzhou. These two things together finally changed Yao Hongye's life trajectory.

"Since you are so determined, I can't stop you..." Qiu Jin was not unfamiliar with Yao Hongye's words. They were all propaganda from the Revival Society for a long time. He knew that he had been affected by the Revival Society and could not be stopped.

The voice from outside interrupted the conversation between the two people, and Chen Jingqing, a returning student, led a man in.

"This is Brother Weisheng." Chen Jingqing couldn't wait to introduce, "Jingxiong, Jiansheng, our school is underway, Brother Weisheng is willing to contribute funds to help."

"Brother Gong Baoquan, he has also studied in Japan." Gong Baoquan bowed and greeted, and smiled: "The female hero of Jianhu has long been admired by her name; Brother Jiansheng has also admired her for a long time!"

There are many Japanese students who returned to China due to the "Regulations on the Criminal of the Qing Students", and a large number of Japanese students returned to Shanghai, but they were not settled. Qiu Jin and others ran around to raise funds and wanted to start a school, but they repeatedly encountered walls. Now Gong Baoquan suddenly appeared and generously donated money. In addition to surprise, people doubted his intentions.

"Dehua University of Technology is jointly established by Sino-Germany. The initial proposal will be located in Ya County, Qiongzhou, and German teachers will be hired to teach physics and chemistry courses; Shanghai Public School is tentatively designated as a university class, middle school class, normal crash course, and physics and chemistry specialty course. The site is tentatively designated in West Shanghai. If you are unwilling to continue your studies, you can also find work within your ability through the Chinese Association in Shanghai." Gong Baoquan said with a smile, "The regulations have been made and you will be admitted tomorrow. Not only those returning students in Japan, but also those who are interested in studying in China can register. As long as the conditions are qualified, food, accommodation and other expenses can be taken care of."

Well, they have made arrangements, just to notify them, but not to hire them or ask for them. In other words, Dehua University of Technology and Shanghai Public School are all dominated by them, so who can make people rich and powerful?

"The female hero of Jianhu, Brother Jiansheng, and Brother Jingqing, if the three are willing, the brothers can take charge and invite the three to be student officials." Gong Baoquan smiled very happily, not to be able to recruit these three people, but to be excited and excited about the uprising in Qiongzhou.

"Ya County, Qiongzhou?" Yao Hongye's eyes lit up and he said simply: "Then I'll go to Dehua University of Technology, it's just my German."

"It may be difficult to select German proficient people in China." Gong Baoquan comforted: "So, Dehua University of Technology is a member of the translation, but it only takes one year. If you can't study hard this year, haha."

"I understand, it's Dehua University." Yao Hongye nodded firmly.

Qiu Jin looked at Gong Baoquan carefully and asked tentatively: "Have you participated in the Military National Education Association in Tokyo and are you very familiar with Yang Dusheng?"

Gong Baoquan smiled and did not answer the question directly. "The past is not necessary to be mentioned anymore. Today's visit is just to make friends with all the heroes and negotiate the matter of running schools and relocating returned students. Time is precious, so you don't want to waste your time, right?"

"The Chinese Association in Shanghai is so domineering!" Qiu Jin showed dissatisfaction, "If you want to save someone, you can save him. Why do you have to do many conditions? Wouldn't you take advantage of others' danger?"

Gong Baoquan was puzzled. After listening to what Qiu Jin said, he pondered for a while, and said lightly: "What is the mentality of being a father when sending his daughter to such a factory? If it can be cured, can you guarantee that the father will not let her work and make money? Or sell her? The conditions proposed by the Chinese Association in Shanghai, on the other hand, aren't this protection for this girl?"

"If this girl dies due to the added conditions, won't you feel guilty?" Qiu Jin asked back.

Gong Baoquan sighed softly and said, "This is the way of the world. People need help at any time. To make an image metaphor, that is, in a pond, people fall into the water everywhere, and the water surface is stretched out from countless hands asking for help. If you go to save one by one, not only will you not be able to save a few people, but you will also be so tired that you fall into the water and drown. The most thorough way is to drain the water. Once the water is dry, everyone will be saved. But before the water is dry, aren't those hands and crying for help condemn our conscience? How can you be so cruel to keep your heart and never save you when you die?"

The room suddenly fell into silence, thinking about Gong Baoquan's philosophical and a little ruthless.

Gong Baoquan's faint voice sounded again, "The Chinese Association in Shanghai is doing their best to save one person, but they will never be exhausted and in danger of drowning. Do you know how many poor families who have no food and clothing in Shanghai have been immigrated to Qiongzhou? Do you know how much money the Chinese Association in Shanghai spends to help the victims every year? You don't know all of this, you don't know the hardships that run such an institution has to be done."

"Scholar, I used to be like you, thinking things simple and thinking about them, and I feel very awesome until." Gong Baoquan sighed, realizing that he had said too much, so he hurriedly stopped talking, paused, and smiled at himself, "Since the female hero of Jianhu is resentful about this, I will take care of it more, and then go back and send someone to send the girl to the hospital. As for whether she can save her, I dare not guarantee it."

"I can do this, I have to thank you for your help." Qiu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. If the tragedy that happened under her nose could have a good result, her anxiety and guilt would not be so great.

"Then let's do it first." Gong Baoquan bowed and said, "Tomorrow at 6 o'clock, there will be a welcome party for the Chinese guild in Shanghai. Brother Jingqing and I have already told you that you can enjoy the glory."

"The Chinese Association of Shanghai Travelers and Shanghai has a close relationship with Xingyitang. Xingyitang is a gang of gangs in the martial arts world and has a vast relationship. He is not unfamiliar with the people of the Fuxing Society, right?" Yao Hongye suddenly asked.

Gong Baoquan hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that the focus of Revival will be on overseas development. It's not clear at home. Moreover, the organization is quite strict, and it is probably not something outsiders can easily learn about the inside story. Well, brother, I'll say goodbye first. If you have any difficulties, go to the guild to find me."
