Chapter 143: Don't lose your temper, a dream of iron blood
"...Okay, the money is spent, let's break up, wait until you have money to do the revolution. New Chinese iqi." Chen Wenqiang spread his hands after a long talk and asked with a smile: "I'm not good at math. If there is any error in calculations, please correct me by Brother Charlie!"
Charlie Song spurted a thick breath from his nostrils, and he seemed to be very angry, but his mind turned around and looked at Chen Wenqiang thoughtfully, and asked tentatively: "You have calculated so carefully, it seems unlikely that you have never experienced it. The Wanning Uprising in Qiongzhou"
"It has nothing to do with me." Chen Wenqiang smiled and said, "But I have indeed studied some military affairs. You think, based on the financial resources of the Qing court, how many new troops have been trained, and how much new troops have been trained, and when fighting, it is burning money. If you can't afford it, you will be done. Although it is a bit one-sided, I have analyzed it according to what Brother Charlie said about raising millions."
"I won't argue with you." Charlie Song rolled his eyes, crossed his hands in front of his chest, "I'll discuss with you carefully after dinner."
Chen Wenqiang laughed and made a strange face, which made the two girls on the other side laugh.
…………
The food was called in a hotel, not luxurious, but also sumptuous. Chen Wenqiang rarely returned to this residence called home, and there were guests, so he also wanted to make this dinner lively.
"The current US ambassador to China is Rou Keyi. What is his temper?" After the meal, Chen Wenqiang invited Charlie Song to have tea and chat, asking about some things he was concerned about, "Has Brother Charlie been invited to see him?"
"Yes." Charlie Song thought for a while and said, "A more experienced diplomat can achieve his goals with condescending and extremely pleasant attitude. Why do you want to deal with him?"
"It's possible." Chen Wenqiang did not tell the truth. After pausing for a while, he continued to ask: "What's the situation in the United States? I can guess that those capitalists are both cautious and stingy about political donations, but what about investment in China? Has US President Roosevelt made a repressive or encouragement statement..."
Charlie Song looked at Chen Wenqiang with more confusion. He didn't understand why Chen Wenqiang suddenly cared about these things.
"Business matters." Chen Wenqiang explained vaguely: "It's not just the United States. There are other countries. If they can provide fair business loans, I'm willing to accept them."
"Are you going to do a big thing? Nowadays, general investment is not a problem for you." Seeing that Chen Wenqiang was very strict, Charlie Song was not inconvenient to ask in depth, so he explained what he knew about the situation in the United States.
Chen Wenqiang listened slowly, and combined with the information he obtained, he felt that borrowing from the United States was not as optimistic as he imagined. But this was considered from the government level, if we look at it from a purely business perspective. Under the antitrust blaster Roosevelt's antitrust blaster, big American capitalists should have a great desire to invest their funds internationally.
"After talking about America, I want to talk about the serious business." Charlie Song touched the mustache on his lips and frowned slightly, "In the car, you are making a point of reason. Now, let's talk seriously."
"I'm not trying to make sense, but I'm personally experiencing it." Chen Wenqiang shook his head, leaned into the chair, and put in the most comfortable position. He smiled faintly: "If you don't get into it, you don't know that the easy things that are easy to remember are actually very complicated, very complicated. Money, materials, and personnel are indispensable, and there must be continuous support. Don't think that the Qing Dynasty is already a dead tree. If you gather a thousand eight hundred people and occupy a few counties and towns, you will have any response from all directions, and the dead tree will fall down."
"It is difficult to push it. Will it fall if it doesn't push it?" Charlie Song said: "If an uprising fails, then it will come the second and third time. It will shake the foundation of the Qing court, arouse people's consciousness, and expand the influence of the revolution. Sooner or later, it will succeed."
"Well. This is not called upset, it is called making trouble, causing trouble for the Qing court." Chen Wenqiang laughed and said, "It's not a bad strategy."
"Didn't the Wanning Uprising fail?" Charlie Song stared at Chen Wenqiang's expression and said guessingly: "I don't believe in official articles in the newspaper. I think the revival seems to have another intention. I took the initiative to stop the show. But what I want to say is not this, but what you accepted Duanna's interview a few days ago. It seems fair, but it is obvious that it is obvious that it is both a revolutionary group and a revolutionary leader, and Beichen advocates the revolution first. It is very inappropriate for you to do this."
"It is true that the first revolution is advocated, but it does not mean that he is correct, nor does it mean that he is the embodiment of the revolution. No one else can do it except him." Chen Wenqiang retorted: "You said I was a derogatory, but I think it was a good criticism. There is no god in this world, but people will make mistakes. If I say something wrong, he can refute it or ignore it; if I say something right, he has to think and correct it. If you don't even have this kind of demeanor, that's really hehe."
"This is to behave again. Is it reasonable to belittle others?" Charlie Song rolled his eyes and said, "Since they are both revolutionary groups, mutually exclusive and suppressing each other, wouldn't it be the intention of the Qing Dynasty? The Tongmenghui, the Revival Society, and the joining forces will push the revolution to **?"
"It's not easy to join forces." Chen Wenqiang sighed softly and shook his head, "If you don't talk about the issue of dominance, just talk about the Tongmenghui. It's not strong, but it's just that the external momentum seems to be quite large. If you talk about organization, I think it's like a union of loose gangs in the world; if you talk about financial resources, you rely on fundraising and begging in form; if you talk about program and purpose, it's not as clear and advanced as the Fuxinghui. If you talk about unity and unity, internal disputes are also information that I can obtain. The Fuxinghui just saw these, but they were not in harmony, and they all did their own things. Revolution, the paths are different, and now the roads are different. Who knows whether they can get together in the future?"
"You mean to walk and see, and see in the future?"
"Well, that's it right now."
Seeing Chen Wenqiang nodding with confidence, Charlie Song also sighed and said, "I am not a lobbyist on behalf of the Tongmenghui, I just don't want to see two revolutionary groups fighting each other."
"I know." Chen Wenqiang laughed, "I can trust Brother Charlie's character. My identity has not been hidden from Brother Charlie, but you don't ask, and I don't want to say it. This is a gentleman's friendship. They understand it in their hearts, but they don't have to go to the bottom of it. Brother Charlie, if you put aside your personal feelings and tell the truth, will the revival be more powerful and have more hope of success?"
"If you are willing to help the Tongmenghui, the situation will be reversed." Charlie Song shook his head helplessly and said regretfully: "I have helped you meet Beichen several times. I hope you can follow him, but the result is disappointing. Although you have briefly explained the reasons, it is unclear and confusing me."
Chen Wenqiang thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Charlie, why are you confused about this? My personal preferences and personalities are different. I don't have a temper with Beichen, it's that simple."
Charlie Song smiled bitterly and stopped talking about this.
"Listen, I'm going to study in the United States? I'm only fourteen or fifteen years old. Brother Charlie is really willing to let her go overseas alone." Chen Wenqiang changed the topic.
"You have to break your own way." Charlie Song smiled slightly and said disrespectfully: "In two years, Qinglin and Meilin will also go to the United States, which is almost the same age."
"When they return to their country after studying, the revolution will be almost successful, and they will contribute to national construction." Chen Wenqiang pondered for a moment and said, "Well. I have a few friends in the United States. If I encounter difficulties there, I can seek their help."
"Is the trouble? It's over?" Charlie Song paused for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm happy that you said so surely. It's my wish to succeed in the revolution!"
"Haha, I've asked the Great Immortal to calculate." Chen Wenqiang tilted his head and smiled at the door: "The little girl comes in, just eavesdrop. What does eating in her mouth mean? Do you watch a movie or listen to a big show?"

Yazhou base.
The training ground was shouting and killing, and the soldiers were struggling to fight against assassination...
Crawling, leaping, lying down, rolling... Qiu Jin did a series of actions, and more than a dozen female soldiers recruited from Nanyang and mainland were training together. Her clothes were covered with mud and her face was covered with dirt. She could no longer see what she was like.
The Revival Society suddenly ceased to abort. Some people withdrew from the base, while some people, led by Wu Luzhen and Xu Chunshan, changed their clothes and "recruited peace" and transformed into the Qiongzhou Patrol Camp.
Most of the people who withdraw the base were new people, that is, those who decided to attract the members after the inspection of the Revival Association. Because the backbone personnel know better how to obey and discipline, they can accept this more calmly and do not have to do too much ideological work.
Of course, for newcomers who do not understand, the Revival Association also has a good persuasion and education work. The new term "Mainland Strategy" was proposed at the right time to make the newcomers understand that this action is a strategic turn, accumulating strength and re-launching, rather than a weak compromise.
The hot training and intense study soon dispelled these newcomers' dissatisfaction and complaints. How could this atmosphere and this attitude be easily stopped? The next revolution will definitely be more imposing.
Qiu Jin had the same idea. Before Ge Zhichu was transferred, he revealed to her in a vague way that within half a year, the Revolutionary Army would launch new actions on the mainland, and then he would persist until the Qing Dynasty collapsed.
Imagination is rich, and longing is exciting. Qiu Jin speculated that it might be in Guangdong and Guangxi, or in other coastal provinces, or even the Anhui and Zhejiang she hoped. When she retreated to the base, she felt more and more and more the hidden strength of the Fuxing Club, and was increasingly surprised, and she felt that the revolution was most likely to succeed in the Fuxing Club.
Military uniforms, guns, ammunition, grain, daily necessities, etc., need to maintain the operation of the base. Although Qiu Jin didn’t know the specific cost, he was shocked when he thought about it carefully. Looking at the facilities of this base, it was obviously not built in a short period of time. How much money and materials would be needed to support it?
As the saying goes, if you don’t be a family, you don’t know how expensive it is. If you were a Qiu Jin, you wouldn’t experience it yourself and don’t know the difficulties of the revolution. This is just a struggle in several counties in Qiongzhou, and it is only one or two thousand people. Most of these people are revolutionary youths who have ideals, faith, and are willing to ignore rewards and gains and losses for the revolution. If it were a Jianghu Association, not only would the organizational discipline be difficult to guarantee, but the expenses would also increase exponentially.
The whistle rang, and Qiu Jin won the first place in the female soldiers again. She was panting, but she excitedly raised the red flag in her hand. The female soldiers who completed the training program kept coming up to congratulate her, and they all rolled like clay figures.
The training came to an end. The female soldiers had their own rest camp and washed and changed clothes. It was a natural thing for women to love beauty. Even if they were tired, they had to clean up first.
"Qiu Jin, report to the headquarters immediately." The messenger received a response outside the house and turned around and left.
"I guess you have approved your enrollment."
"Didn't you say that you should select the captain of the female soldiers today? I think it's a formal appointment."
"Don't guess randomly, I'll know when I come back." Qiu Jin put on his military uniform meticulously, strong and straight, and with his armed belt and military cap, he looked heroic and heroic. She really liked this outfit, and hoped that she could wear it on her shoulders that proved that she was already a revolutionary soldier's rank, and then charge forward in future battles, so as not to let the bearded men go.
He came to the headquarters with a little excitement and a little nervousness. Qiu Jin signed up and met Zhang Ji, the head of the base, in the house, and was also the director of the Qiongzhou Branch of the Fuxing Association.
Zhang Ji, who had studied in Japan, has heard of Qiu Jin, but he returned to China early and had never met him. However, Qiu Jin found the Revolutionary Army himself, joined the medical team with an introduction, and performed outstandingly. Zhang Ji received reports on these situations, knew about them and understood them.
"Comrade Qiu Jin, please sit down." Zhang Ji smiled and poured it into the water, saying, "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never seen it. Fortunately, because of the revolution, we not only know each other, but also will be comrades-in-arms fighting side by side."
"Minister Zhang, you are kind." Qiu Jin's personality has been hidden, and the requirements for discipline in the revolutionary army are extremely strict, which will change without realizing it.
"Well, get back to the point." Zhang Ji nodded, his face becoming solemn, "After inspection, the organization has approved your application and decided to officially accept you as a member of the Revival Society. I will take the oath to join the society tonight." Looking at Qiu Jin's face full of joy, Zhang Ji also smiled and continued, "There is another one, which is the arrangements for your work. I want to ask for your opinions."
Qiu Jin immediately straightened his waist a little further and waited solemnly for Zhang Ji to continue talking.
"One arrangement is to send you back to Shanghai, founded and sponsored the China Women's Newspaper." Zhang Ji pondered for a moment, "You are very literary and edited the monthly magazine "Plain Language" in Japan, advocating feminism and promoting women's liberation, such as work that should be handy and familiar."
If it were the past, Qiu Jin would definitely agree, but now, she thought about it carefully and asked: "What about the other arrangement? If it doesn't affect my participation in the association, I want to be an ordinary soldier in the army."
Zhang Ji was stunned for a moment, shook his head with some regret, and said, "Actually, you should be able to use your expertise better in the propaganda position. But since you have such persistence, I deeply admire you and adapt it." As he said that, he took out a military rank from the drawer, stood up and solemnly praised it to Qiu Jin, "Non-commissioned officer Qiu, if you go to the military academy tomorrow, you will be the first female non-commissioned officer in the revolutionary army. I hope you can grow up in battle, temper in revolution, and become a real revolutionary soldier."
Qiu Jin saluted correctly and took over the military rank, feeling hot, and this was one step closer to her iron-blooded dream of charging into battle.
