    Just as the gunfire rumbled outside Beijing, Sun Yat-sen, accompanied by Hu Hanmin and others, arrived at the Jinliyuan Pier in Shanghai Shiliupu. He was warmly welcomed by Huang Xing, Chen Qimei, Cai Yuanpei and other representatives from all walks of life in Shanghai.

    Wearing a black woolen coat, Sun Yat-sen smiled and nodded frequently to the audience.  As soon as he landed, he was surrounded by Chinese and foreign reporters. Everyone asked:

    "Excuse me, Mr. Sun, how much money and weapons did you bring with you when you returned to China this time?"

    "According to a special cable from Guangzhou published in the "Declaration", you have ordered 18 warships from a European country, but you have not paid yet. The contract has been signed. Is this true?"

    "Mr. Sun, there is news that there are three large warships returning to China with you, and the crew and passengers are all students studying in the UK. What is the real situation?"

    ¡­¡­

    Sun Yat-sen raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then replied with a smile: "Sun returned to China this time without bringing any money or weapons. What he brought back was only the revolutionary spirit. I believe that inspired by this revolutionary spirit, revolutionary martyrs will definitely  Let¡¯s work together and point our troops to the north to destroy the Manchu Qing government as soon as possible and establish a new Republic of China!¡±

    The reporter wanted to get more news from Sun Yat-sen, but he quickly left the dock and came to the Shanghai Allied Forces headquarters in the French Concession, escorted by Huang Xing, Chen Qimei, Cai Yuanpei and others.

    As soon as everyone sat down in the hall, Huang Xing couldn't wait to say: "Brother Yixian just answered reporters' questions on the pier. He was both witty and funny, but also avoided the truth. It was really wonderful! But now all the people here are colleagues in the party.  , Brother Yixian might as well tell you honestly, how much money and weapons did you bring back this time?"

    Huang Xing was beaten by Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army in Hubei and was completely defeated. If Wu Luzhen and others had not staged an uprising in Zhili and forced the main force of the Beiyang Army to withdraw north, the revolutionary army in Hubei would have been driven out of the three towns of Wuhan.  Now Huang Xing wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the Qing court had no time to look south to gather the remnants of the army and stage a comeback. But he had no choice but to have weapons, food and pay, so he had to seek help from Sun Yat-sen, the leader and god of wealth of the Tongmenghui.

    Sun Yat-sen shook his head with a smile: "Keqiang, what I said on the dock was not false. I really didn't bring a penny or a gun or a weapon when I came back this time! But when I passed by Singapore, I met Tan Kah Kee, the leader of the Nanyang overseas Chinese.  Sir, after a conversation, he agreed to raise 50,000 yuan for the government of the Republic of China. But it will probably take a month or two before the money is received!"

    "A month or two?" Huang Xing's disappointment was palpable.  Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and the situation of all parties is changing rapidly. Wait a month or two?  The day lilies were already cold by then!

    Hu Hanmin¡¯s lips twitched with a smile: ¡°Brother Keqiang, there are two Gods of Wealth in front of you, and you still ask for alms from Mr. Sun. Isn¡¯t it true that you are blinding your eyes and missing Mount Tai?¡±

    Huang Xing looked at Hu Hanmin doubtfully: "What do you mean by Zhantang's words?"

    Hu Hanmin said: "Who in the world doesn't know that there is gold and silver flowing from the ten-mile foreign market in Shanghai? Now Brother Yingshi (Chen Qimei) is the commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Army. If you ask him for help, will he still be stingy?"

    Chen Qimei is in his early thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle face. There is no trace that he is a leader of the Youth Gang who hangs out in restaurants, teahouses, theaters, bathhouses, and brothels.  Hearing this, he quickly replied: "Cousin Zhan is joking! It's true that there is a lot of money flowing on the beach, but it's all other people. As a member of the revolutionary army, how can Chen be just like the officials of the Qing court who are just like the common people? "The Former Red Cliff" by Su Dongpo  There is a saying in "Ode": "Between heaven and earth, everything has its own owner. If it is not my property, I will not take any of it." He is beautiful but not talented. I would like to use this sentence as an inscription and place it on the right side of my seat!"

    Hu Hanmin was noncommittal about this, and turned around and introduced: "Brother Jiemin, for example, handles at least hundreds of thousands taels of silver every year. If he slips a little bit between his fingers, isn't it enough to fatten up your Hubei Revolutionary Army?"

    Cai Yuanpei was stunned and quickly explained: "Brother Zhantang may not know. Although Cai handles hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, these are special funds used by Sun Baixi to use the profits from the family business to establish primary and secondary education. Cai  He values ??me, entrusts me with important responsibilities, and is responsible for the use of funds. How can I violate the purpose and misappropriate education funds for other purposes?"

    Hu Hanmin curled his lips in disapproval: "Sun Baixi willingly humbled himself and worked as a slave or a dog for the Manchu Tatars. He is in a high position and is domineering. I'm afraid that a lot of the silver he gave you is the people's wealth of our Han people! We!  Is it reasonable to use the blood and sweat of these Han people to overthrow the rule of the Manchu Tatars?"

    Cai Yuanpei replied seriously: "Are all the Han people who served as officials in the Qing court willing to be humble and just common people? I'm afraid Brother Hu is too biased! It's hard for others to say, but I can guarantee that he has never done anything like this to Sun Baixi.  What an outrageous thing. Even if you occasionally accept some Bing Jing from your subordinates,Tan Jing, if he uses this money for free to build education, isn't he getting what he deserves?  In short, these funds handled by Cai will never be used for other purposes. Please ask Zhantang and Keqiang to find another way!  "

    After speaking, he ignored the reactions of Hu Hanmin and Huang Xing, and said to Sun Yat-sen: "Yixian, I came to Shanghai this time for two main purposes. The first is to welcome you back to China, and the second is to be entrusted by Sun Baixi.  , I hope that with your initiative and contact, we can join forces with the military governors of various provinces in the Northern Expedition to overthrow the Qing government as soon as possible!"

    Hu Hanmin sneered: "I'm afraid Sun Baixi's purpose is not to overthrow the Qing government, but to save his Jingshi University, right?"

    Cai Yuanpei didn't know that the reason why Hu Hanmin was tit for tat with Sun Yuanqi was because the two had formed a feud when they were at Jingshi University. Instead, he explained warmly: "Yes, Sun Baixi's suggestion of the Northern Expedition may be mainly to save Jingshi University, but with  There is no contradiction in the Northern Expedition between the kings in order to overthrow the rule of the Qing government. It is just that they have the same purpose but the same goal. And in Cai's view, the significance of solving Jingshi University is no less than overthrowing the rule of the Qing government! As we all know, Jingshi University is currently the most important in the country.  It is an institution of higher learning with the largest number of students, the highest research level, and the most complete subject system. It enjoys a high reputation in both the East and the West and can be said to be the mainstay of China¡¯s education sector. If nothing else, the profits brought by the research results of Jingshi University alone are  Support the funding of more than 200 affiliated schools across the country!

    "Once Jingshi University suffers a heavy blow, these affiliated schools will become a tree without roots and a source of water. They will soon have difficulty in running funds, and then fall into a crisis of closure. Unless someone can provide at least 600,000 taels of silver free of charge every year, otherwise they will  There are tens of thousands of students who have neither schooling nor books to read! Who in the world today has both the financial resources and the courage? I don¡¯t think the Qing government has such people, nor do the military governors of the provinces!

    "The purpose of our Alliance is to drive out the Tartars, restore China, establish the Republic of China, and equalize land rights. From the perspective of 'driving out the Tartars and restoring China', we want to overthrow the Qing government in the Northern Expedition; from the perspective of 'creating the Republic of China and equalizing land rights'  , we need to ensure the integrity of Jingshi University. After the establishment of the Republic of China, do we still need to rely on revolutionary martyrs to throw their heads, shed blood, and carry out assassinations and riots? I think that to govern the Republic of China well, we must new people's ethics, enlighten people's wisdom, and revitalize people.  Civil rights and the encouragement of people's power, and these all depend on education! The huge influence of Jingshi University in the educational field today is no less than that of Wuchang's first righteousness and the Chinese revolution!"

    The more Cai Yuanpei spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice became louder and louder. When he got excited, he raised his arms and shouted loudly, almost shaking the roof tiles.  Huang Xing seemed to be infected by passion and volunteered: "As long as Sun Baixi first sponsors 200,000 taels of military expenses, we, the Hubei Revolutionary Army, are willing to join forces with him to go north to defeat Huanglong together!"

    Chen Qimei couldn't help but feel contempt: Huang Keqiang, your Sima Zhao's ambition is too obvious!  If you want guns but no guns and no soldiers, how can you join others in "joining forces to go north to fight against the Yellow Dragon"?  Let others sponsor you 200,000 taels of military expenses first. I'm afraid you will be waiting for the 200,000 taels of military expenses to save your life!  Not to mention whether you will turn against you after taking the money, I am afraid that by the time you buy all the guns and train the soldiers, Sun Yuanqi will be able to build another world-class university!

    Of course, Chen Qimei was full of contempt, but she still said righteously: "If Sun Baixi is willing to sponsor the Shanghai army's military expenditure of 200,000 taels, we are also willing to point our command to the north, drink the Yellow River with you, and gather in the capital!"

    Sun Yat-sen, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "When Sun passed through Hong Kong when he returned to China, he met and talked with comrades such as Liao Zhongkai and Zhu Zhixin. They believed that now the provinces across the country have become independent, but there are quite some differences among the military governments in various places.  , there are many internal disputes. If I go north to Ning and Shanghai, I will have no troops to use, and I will not be able to give orders out of the house, and ultimately nothing will be done. Therefore, I should go to Guangzhou first, use Guangdong as a base, train the army, and then raise troops for the northern expedition. But I  You rejected their offer to stay, do you know why?"

    Sun Yat-sen immediately asked and answered: "Because I think the most urgent problem at present is that although the revolution is raging and the provinces have declared independence one after another, there is no national revolutionary government to lead the revolution uniformly. The military governments in each province go their own way, and it is easy for the Qing government to  Defeating them one by one, the revolution fell short! So I refused their offer to stay and went north to Beijing and Shanghai. The main purpose of this trip was to form the provisional central government of the Republic of China. Of course, the Northern Expedition to wipe out the remnants of the Qing court and rescue Jingshi University was also very important.  , but it is more important to form an interim central government and there is no need to delay! Because only by establishing a central government that is supported domestically and recognized internationally can we unify our orders, centralize financial power, be qualified to negotiate with foreigners, and avoid foreign interference in the revolution."

    When they heard that Sun Yat-sen was going to form the Provisional Central Government of the Republic of China, everyone here suddenly became excited: Although everyone has made substantial local profits, as long as it is not recognized by the central government, it is an illegal armed force.  Furthermore, you are all the bosses of the Tongmenghui and the governors of military governments in various places. Why do you want to enjoy official positions such as chief minister or deputy minister in the central government?

    While everyone was complimenting and bragging to each other, Hu Hanmin said loudly: "In my opinion, everything else can be discussed, but the post of Director of Education of the Provisional Government belongs to Brother Jiemin!"
