Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 20 Overthrowing the Manchu Government
Compared to the 'angry youth' Lu Xun, Yin Qize was very calm and asked: "Brother Zhou, have you ever thought about why the people are so insensitive and why they are willing to help foreign devils attack their own court?"

"Of course it's because the government exploits the people too much. The people live in dire straits and don't have enough to eat. How can they care about national affairs? They even have no sense of honor and shame, so they will naturally do things for foreigners for petty profits."

Although Lu Xun deeply hated the insensitivity of the people.

But he also knew that this was not the fault of the people, but the fault of the Manchu Qing's hundreds of years of high-handed rule.

Yin Qi nodded and said: "Brother Zhou is right. Since you have seen the problem, then think about how to solve it. In this great age, we, the good men, should be kind and shoulder the heavy burden that the times have given us."

Lu Xun nodded seriously and said: "I also have this ambition and have already made plans to go to Jiangning next year and enter the Jiangnan Naval Academy. If we want to revitalize China, we can only start with the army. As long as we have an army that is good at fighting, Only then can all the European and American powers be driven out of China, and then the ills of all parties can be eliminated and the reform can be supported."

At this time, although Lu Xun was disappointed with the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was not yet desperate.

Or maybe this is his only way out.

Yin Qi shook his head and said: "Brother Zhou, your ambition is very good, but it should not be limited to this. Although the world is big, how many people have thoughts like yours? Fighting alone is a taboo. The Jiangnan Naval Academy is, at best, a small wave. It has almost no effect in this great era and cannot save China."

The Revolution of [-] was successful because of the people's wisdom awakened by the blood of batches of revolutionary martyrs.

No matter how powerful Lu Xun was, he was only a general at best.

But no matter how powerful the general is, he must be dispatched and controlled by the ruling class.

Lu Xun clenched his fists. He instinctively wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to speak.

After entering the Jiangnan Naval Academy, can he save China?
The Zhou family has declined. If he wants to climb up in the court system, it is almost impossible without connections. And if he cannot hold a high position, how can he change and save China on his own?

After a long time, Lu Xun cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yin, please give me some advice."

At this moment, a voice sounded from the side: "Brothers, I overheard your conversation earlier, and I'm very curious. Can you allow me to listen in? I'm Tao Chengzhang, I don't know what you call these two brothers?"

Yin Qi turned around and saw a tough young man walking towards them and bowing his hands.

Tao Chengzhang is another celebrity.

Yin Qi secretly thought that Shaoxing is really a place where celebrities gather.

Lu Xun had already stood up and said happily: "It turns out to be Mr. Tao, please sit down."

Tao Chengzhang was a celebrity in Shaoxing. He was a private school teacher at the age of 15, and he was both civil and military. He would even go to Beijing twice to assassinate Cixi.

Although they failed to take action in the end, this anti-Qing consciousness is probably already there now.

Tao Chengzhang shook his head and said softly: "There are many people here, so why don't we go to the private room on the third floor? I just made a reservation. I originally made an appointment with a friend for tea, but the other party broke the appointment."

Yin Qi looked around. Although there were not many people, it was really inappropriate to openly discuss anti-Qing rhetoric.

He stood up and said, "Okay. Mr. Tao, please."

……

On the third floor, private room.

Yin Hai was guarding outside the door, while Yin Qi, Lu Xun, and Tao Chengzhang were sitting around the tea table.

The three of them had already announced their names and gradually became familiar with each other during the chat.

Tao Chengzhang said: "Brother Yin, please give me some advice now, how can we save China?"

Lu Xun also nodded solemnly and looked at Yin Qi closely.

Yin Qi put down the tea cup and said seriously: "Brother Tao, Brother Zhou, there are only three of us here, so I won't hide my words. If you want to save China, you must first overthrow the Manchu Qing government."

His voice was loud and his eyes were piercing.

Tao Chengzhang, revolutionary martyr;

Lu Xun, cultural warrior.If he wants to rebel next, he will definitely not be able to do it on his own. He will also need to unite progressive people from all walks of life.

As he said to Lu Xun, it is taboo to fight alone.

Therefore, these two people naturally became his targets.

But everyone is arrogant and arrogant. If you want to convince them and be willing to use yourself, you must show "extraordinary" ability. Otherwise, why should everyone convince you?
Tao Chengzhang looked excited, as if he had found a 'confidant'.

Although Lu Xun was shocked, he quickly calmed down.

Seeing that the two of them could continue to sit peacefully, Yin Qi continued: "The Manchu court has become corrupt, and they are foreigners. They regard us Han people as domestic slaves, and they take everything from them. There is no dignity at all. How can the people do this?" To maintain such a court? Brother Zhou said before that the people are indifferent because of poverty, but this is actually wrong. "

Lu Xun frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Yin Qi said slowly: "I once saw such a story in an ancient book. It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a businessman from the Western Regions came to Chang'an and saw a beggar who was pitiful, so he gave him some money, but he was troubled. The beggar came and scolded the merchant from the Western Regions for being a barbarian and unworthy of giving alms to him."

Lu Xun and Tao Chengzhang were both silent.

Beggars, the lowest level of society in the Tang Dynasty, were ashamed of being given alms by merchants from the Western Regions.

But now the common people are even proud of being able to serve and profit from foreign devils, which is a sharp contrast.

Why is this so?
The answer is simple. The Manchus are foreigners, and the Han people have no sense of identity at all.

Not to mention, the Manchu Qing rule was corrupt.

Tao Chengzhang was very direct: "Brother Yin, how do you think we should overthrow the Manchu Qing government?"

Lu Xun didn't speak, just watched quietly.

Yin Qi said: "Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty is decayed, it is still a centipede insect, dead but not stiff.

This matter should not be rushed. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a lesson learned from the past.

As I said before, it is taboo to fight alone. We should unite progressive thinkers from all walks of life.

But to be honest, there must be a lot of people in this world who think like you and me.

But compared to the country as a whole, it's not much.

Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to awaken people's minds and find like-minded people.

When the people's minds are awakened, when they are no longer satisfied with the status quo, and when we unite them all, then everything will naturally fall into place.

The great trend is like a rolling river, who can resist it? "

"it is good!"

Tao Chengzhang and Lu Xun both applauded.

As Yin Qi said, with just the three of them, they are naturally weak, but what if there are tens of thousands of them?
"But how to awaken people's wisdom?"

"File the report!"

"run the newspaper?"

"Yes, we just need to run a newspaper and publish articles in the newspaper that can awaken people's wisdom. As long as it lasts long enough and the circulation of our newspaper is large enough, we can find enough like-minded people."

Yin Qi said firmly.

Public opinion is the most hidden and deadly weapon, and it is currently the best means to awaken people's wisdom.

Lu Xun and Tao Chengzhang both had bright eyes and nodded excitedly.
