A plate of sharp dried fruits and snacks are served, as well as the freshly made authentic Dongting Lake Junshan Maojian. Tang Hualong opened the tea lid, the steam rose, and the unique fragrance of plants and trees at the tip of Junshan's hair.

In addition to tasting tea with Cai Fuqing and others, he watched the argument between Song Jiaoren and Feng Xiaoyu with great interest, which was already the focus of the audience. The League, a loose organization, has given them too many loopholes.

What Song Jiaoren said is a real fact, and the strength of foreigners in China will only be stronger than what he said, but the disdain on Feng Xiaojian's face is more and more obvious. At this moment, his mind is full of the sword spirit that Li wants to instill.

"How can we revolutionaries be afraid of the strength of foreigners? If you don't even have the courage to show your swords with foreigners, do you still have the face to revolution? Feng Xiaoqi said loudly, "You have found too many reasons for silence and concessions for this declining nation. The blind silence and concession will only lead to the demise of the nation step by step. This silent nation needs a voice to shout out hard and wake up the sleeping people. This is the only way to save the country and the people. The foreigner's ship is strong, so we will build the Great Wall of the new Chinese nation with our bodies and cast the soul of the new Chinese nation with blood.

Feng Xiaoyu's words were exhilarating, and a weak scholar burst out of unruly sharpness. In the face of the power of imperialism, they will never give up and still resist competently and resolutely to the end. Although he doesn't care about his body, he doesn't turn back. Even if the ideal in their hearts is only a faint hope, they will still angrily choose to fight with blood.

The backbone of the Chinese people has been suppressed by the Qing Dynasty for more than 360 years, and has been suppressed by foreigners for half a century. The incident in Hankou proves that the backbone of the Chinese people did not bend them.

Feng Xiaoyu's radical remarks made Song Jiaoren angry and said angrily, "The courage of a man. Peaceful coexistence with foreigners is only a stopgap measure, and the country's territory and sovereignty will naturally be recovered sooner or later. Your current behavior is to push foreigners to the Qing court, to Yuan Shikai, and to establish a strong enemy that could have been avoided for the revolution.

Song Jiaoren also knew that the imperialist powers did not want to see it, nor did they believe that the revolution taking place in China would win. Although the revolutionary camp tried their best to say that they did not intend to offend foreign countries,

It does not mean "foreign exclusion", but the imperialist powers have no reason to worry that the revolutionary stick that hit their lackey Qing government may hit them directly.

Eleven days after the Wuchang Uprising, the worries of foreigners finally became a reality. The painstaking management of the alliance has led to a major tilt in the fragile "neutral" attitude maintained by foreigners. Although the Eastern and Western powers did not send troops to interfere in the revolution, the Western powers are stepping up the seizure of tariff rights at trade ports; Japan has sent troops to Manchuria to occupy key places along the railway; Russia has also sent troops outside Mongolia, instigating 0 Mongolia to gain independence. Song Jiaoren and others generally believe that it is a matter of time before foreigners send troops to interfere in the revolution, which brings great panic to Song Jiaoren and others.

Huang Xing listened to the arguments between the two, and he couldn't even read the newspaper. He couldn't help but say, "At this stage, the revolutionary form must be mainly anti-Qing, and it is not appropriate to expand. After all, the revolutionary forces are still very fragile. The counterattack of the Beiyang Army has made us poor in dealing with it. A big enemy like the foreigners will only cause the revolution to attract the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

During the period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the major capitalist countries that invaded China armed themselves and assisted the Qing Dynasty to suppress the revolution under the smoke of "neutrality". In the year of Gengzi, the Eight-Nation Alliance openly invaded China and suppressed the Boxer Rebel Movement.

Feng Xiaoqi said step by step: "But the current situation is very different from the revolutionary period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but also very different from the period of the Hetuan Movement. It is impossible for the imperialist powers to follow the old methods to solve the problems they are worried about."

There are always people who are complabased and explain new historical problems with old historical knowledge. Feng Xiaoqi and Li Xiang came all the way, influenced by their modern thinking and got rid of the shackles of dogmatism and empiricism.

"Then let's talk about it, what's the difference between the current situation and the original situation?" Tang Hualong, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth. Now he wants to know more and more that Li dares to make such an adventurous move, which is simply pushing himself to the cliff. Li Xiang has always been bold and shrewd. He hollowed out Wuchang's treasury and decisively gave up the opportunity to compete for Wuchang's power and ran to Hankou. At that time, it seemed to be risky. Afterward, they thought about it, but it was an extremely shrewd decision. Now Li Xiang is the dominant family in Hankou. Their consultation bureau counts the amount of money taken away by Li Xiang, and the book amount alone is as huge as 40 million. Nowadays, the people in the Red Mansion think of Li Xiangmo gritting their teeth.

Tang Hualong leaned leisurely on the back of the chair. His eyes seemed to be gentle, but he hid the coldness with ulterior motives.

Tang Hualong's question made Song Jiaoren and others wake up. It turned out that Li Xiang's behavior was not as reckless as what they saw on the surface. A pair of eyes with ulterior motives, like the wind sword and frost knife, fell on Feng Xiaoyu's body.

It's not that Feng Xiaoqi didn't see their ulterior motives, and his unruly eyes returned to them like a knife. At this time, the European imperialist powers have been deeply involved in the conflict between the Allies and the Allies, and it is difficult for them to carry out common military operations in China. And if there is armed intervention in China, Japan and Russia, which are closest to China, are bound to be in the most favorable position, which is the unwillingness of the Western powers.

This is just Feng Xiaoyu's inference, or just Li Xiang's inference. Judging from the smiling expressions of everyone here, they don't pay much attention to it.

Tang Hualong smiled and said, "This balance can only be maintained if the revolution has not violated the interests of foreigners. Now that foreigners have lost in Hankou, such a weak balance has been broken."

As they expected, this is not the main reason for imperialist interference in the Xinhai Revolution. The more important reason is the general trend, which is slowly emerging. The provinces responded to the uprising, and the revolutionary trend became more and more turbulent. After the Wuchang Uprising, the flame of the revolution quickly burned all over the country. The rule of the Qing Dynasty has generally lost trust among the people. Although this revolution has many weaknesses, it is based on hundreds of millions of people who could not survive under the corrupt Qing Dynasty.

Many bureaucrats, politicians, officers and gentlemen who had no reason to do with the revolution have rushed to speculative under the revolutionary flag. This has caused a mixed situation in the revolutionary team, but it is also a manifestation that the revolution has become an unstoppable trend. However, the complex revolutionary situation in China is one of the reasons why Feng Xiaoyu is unwilling to mention it.

Such a revolutionary trend is irreversible, and imperialism is also afraid. It is not only impossible to use a few foreign troops to extinguish this revolutionary flame, but also to promote the danger of promoting the revolution into a much broader "anti-foreigner movement" than the Boxer movement, that is, the anti-imperialist movement.

Although imperialism began with a "neutral" situation, it treated the revolution carefully and secretly made peace with Yuan Shikai in an attempt to deteriorate the 1911 Revolution. If all forces are worried, history will only follow the original trajectory. But Li Xiang, who was bold, was not a person who would hesitate. He recklessly set off the beginning of the anti-imperialist movement in Hankou. He disrupted the formation of the Alliance, the formation of foreigners, and the formation of Yuan Shikai. As a result, all forces have been in a hurry, and the situation is more chaotic and complicated than the historical 1911.

Feng Xiaoqi sneered in his heart that some information should be shared with them, so as not to make them think nonsense and make the world know the ability. Japan wants to use the Hankou incident to carry out armed interference in the situation in China. It inquires with the great powers.

Can it send troops to China to "protect the rights and interests of all countries in China"? Britain, the United States and other countries oppose this practice. They believe that if armed intervention is necessary, the great powers should act together through consensus. But Japan and Russia also know that because the European war is on the verge of breaking out, joint action like Gengzinian is impossible to happen again. Japan and Russia then left the United Kingdom and the United States, revised the Japan-Russia Secret Treaty for the third time, once again delimited the sphere of influence outside the customs, and agreed that a revolution would take place in Manchuria, and the two countries would send troops to intervene. After that, Russia also took the opportunity to send troops to Kulun (now Ulaanbaatar) to collude with the prince living Buddha there, creating the independence of Outer Mongolia; Japan sent more troops to the northeast and occupied the Manchurian railway. It was in this situation that Yuan Shikai's appearance was welcomed by the imperialist powers. The imperialist powers, especially the United Kingdom and the United States, played a great role in promoting the Qing Dynasty. Necessary relationship."

These military and political intelligence have surprised everyone here. In addition, Feng Xiaoyu has more powerful intelligence. Since capitalists in London, Paris and New York have found that there are better opportunities in newer and less populous places like the United States and Argentina, Western investment in China, the treaty port, is still in an unimportant position. J.M. of Dangqichang Yangxing After 1845, when Forbes invested the profits from the opium trade in the Midwest Railways of the United States, he was pursuing the opportunity to make money and earn huge profits. This opportunity is not found in China except for opium. Therefore, there is no doubt that the hearts of imperialism are different, and Hankou is not worth sending troops. What you think is impossible for the Eight-Nation Alliance to invade China and participate in the war with the Gordon hooligan Legion.

Feng Xiaoqi finally shocked them with such detailed imperialist intelligence trends. After a brief silence, Tang Hualong and Cai Fuqing began to talk loudly. If the information revealed by Feng Xiaoyu is true, then the interests of Hankou will be recovered. In this way, they are even more determined to drive Li out of Hankou.

"Even so, the port developed by Hankou because of the special status of the concession. After losing the particularity of the concession, how will Hankou develop? Cai Fuqing asked urgently that these big businessmen are most concerned about this problem. If they get a dead port, will they be busy for nothing?

In the concession, Chinese capital and foreign capital are mixed in this development; buyers are the actual operators of foreign firms, not just employees. The treaty port was jointly completed by China and foreign. In their way, foreigners seek a free and open market for open tariffs and non-franchising monopoly undertakings - not allowing Chinese bureaucrats to interfere. Those buyers with Chinese style understand local private interest groups and relationship networks, and can often take advantage of the necessary relationships in the complex Chinese bureaucratic and political structure and social hierarchies when demanding the free trade privileges of foreigners.

Liu Xinsheng is because he is the head of the Hankou Brother Association. He became a seller of the foreign bank, and then developed into a rich man in Hankou. Of course, he and Li thought later expanded his wealth to the extreme. And Li Ziyun also accumulated huge primitive capital because of the opium of acting foreigners. In various trade ports, there will always be such figures. Jin Rong, the famous leader of the youth gang in Shanghai, and Du Yuesheng, who is still a horse under Huang Jinrong, are all such figures.

This is a deformed symbiotic relationship. The recovery of the Hankou concession has made Cai Fuqing and other businessmen feel inexplicable fear.

Feng Xiaojian smiled softly and answered the question: "The concession avenues of the five countries in Hankou along the river stretches for several miles, and there are beautiful boulevards of trees and lawns between the roads and sidewalks. Every afternoon, foreign social circles gather at the horse racing club for tea, and then play tennis or golf. Hankou has an 18-hole golf course, which is the best one in Asia. The club room with a balcony - with a swimming pool, a game room, a cloakroom and a large tea room - has a famous long bar, where officers of foreign gunboats patrolling the Yangtze River often visit. This is a thoughtful and dazzling life, which is divided according to the distinct class boundaries. A person is famous because of his occupation,

Which club to join and how many stallion you have. Jews, Portuguese and Eurasians live a segregated social life. Although a small group of Jewish businessmen said that they lived a good life in Hankou, Portuguese and Eurasians took on low-paying positions in most of the daily work in the firm, such as clerks, clerks and secretaries. There is also a group of foreign tramps, troubled sailors and poor people who have failed in their careers in Hankou. At the bottom of the pyramid of foreign society and the lower society of evil and crime, these people living in treaty ports are rarely noticed, but they are also an integral part of the existence of foreigners.

”

Hankou, the paradise of the rich and the hell of the poor, unfolds in front of everyone like a beautiful picture in Feng Xiaoyu's narration. This law is not only suitable for Chinese, but also for foreigners. When Feng Xiaozhen said this, everyone seemed to have understood his intention, and now Hankou is exactly what he does.

At this moment, Song Jiaoren suddenly asked, "Why is there no one in the Hankou Military Department?"

Song Jiaoren suddenly asked seriously, and the vip private room suddenly became silent.
