The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 5 Wu Yue Became His Role Model
Although the Qing government was exhausted, in order to safeguard their vested interests, they were not willing to withdraw from the stage of history. Instead, they swung their butcher knives and massacred the revolutionaries, killing chickens to scare monkeys, and lingering on their last days.At that time, revolutionaries had different views on the means of revolution. One was to seize power through a long-term armed uprising with swords against swords and guns against guns; They believe in assassination and other "surgical operations" to "kill all dictators", eliminate stubborn elements that hinder social progress, and quickly achieve revolutionary goals.With the support of Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others, Yang Dusheng, He Haiqiao and others organized the establishment of an assassination group in Shanghai, and decided to comprehensively promote the three major tasks of "advocacy, assassination, and uprising".Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Shizhao, Liu Guanghan, Chen Duxiu, Zhao Sheng, Wu Yue and others joined in one after another. The assassins appeared and disappeared, and the Qing government officials panicked and felt in danger.

That day, after listening to the words of his old classmate Xu Xiyong, Wang Yaqiao's eyes seemed to open a window to observe the world. From then on, you came and went, and the two met almost every day during the summer vacation, chatting and laughing happily.Xu Xiyong told many battle stories of the Yue Wanghui, among which Wu Yue assassinated the "five ministers", which made Wang Yaqiao's blood boil after hearing this, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights.

On July 1905, 7, amid deepening internal and external troubles, the Qing government made a gesture of political reform and decided to send five ministers, Zaize, Dai Hongci, Xu Shichang, Duan Fang, and Shaoying, to go abroad to investigate constitutionalism.When the news came out, some applauded, while others expressed doubts.Wu Yue, who was studying at Baoding Higher Normal School, was furious. He believed that this move was the Qing dictator's "desire to increase the obligation of the slaves of the Han people in order to consolidate their eternal imperial foundation", which was absolutely unacceptable.

Wu Yue (1878-1905), was born in Tongcheng, Anhui.The word Meng Xia.He was born in a school teacher's family, lost his mother at the age of 8, and studied everywhere with his father.After becoming an adult, he was recommended by Wu Rulun, the head teacher of the Beijing Normal University, to enter Baoding Higher Normal School.Later, I got acquainted with Chen Duxiu and Zhao Sheng, and read the banned books "Jiading Tucheng Ji", "Yangzhou Ten Diaries", etc., and learned that when the Qing army entered the Central Plains, they killed all the atrocities committed by the people of Jiading and Yangzhou, and vowed to overthrow the buildings built in tens of millions. The Qing government based on human bones.

On the eve of his departure, Wu Yue went to the Huizhou Wharf Science Bookstore on Long Street, Wuhu (now No. 20, Zhongchang Street), and drank with Chen Duxiu and Zhao Sheng while deliberating over every detail of the assassination plan.Science Bookstore is the first new-style bookstore in Anhui, founded by Wang Mengzou.The bookstore has two floors, the first floor sells books, and the second floor is used as the editorial department of Chen Duxiu's "Anhui Changhua Daily".There is a pair of couplets hanging at the door of the bookstore: "Push down the hero of the moment, expand the heart of the ages." Chen Duxiu wrote it himself, and the lines between the lines are filled with the air of a king.

That night, after the revision of the plan was completed, it was already late at night.Who will execute it?The three of them were blushing.

Chen Duxiu said: "I am the oldest, have a wife and children, I will get rid of thieves!"

Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue firmly disagreed, saying: "You are the leader and shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the revolution. How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife?"

But who will Zhao Sheng and Wu Yue go?Another disagreement arose.After arguing for a long time, it is difficult to make a decision.Zhao Sheng said: "If not, let's draw lots and let fate decide. Is that okay?"

Wu Yue asked back: "I want to ask my brother, which is easier and which is difficult, giving up one's own life or creating a new China?"

"Naturally, the former is easy and the latter is difficult."

Wu Yue drank his cup and said: "Well, I am the younger brother, and I will do the easy ones first; you are the elder brother, so I will leave the difficult ones to you! Today's era is not an era of revolution, but an era of assassination. The blood wakes up the people, and after death, I will turn one me into thousands of me, and the former will be followed by the latter. If you don't kill and stop, and don't stop, my death will be worthwhile."

Zhao Sheng hugged Wu Yue in his arms, wept loudly, and laughed loudly.Then, he bit his finger and wrote a farewell poem to Wu Yue on rice paper:

Huainan has many heroes since ancient times,
Mountains and rivers are still alive today.

When we met each other, we were so chic,

Evening wind and rain are too green.

On September 9 (the 24st year of Guangxu), before dawn, a young servant walked out of the Anhui Guild Hall in Housun Park Hutong, Xuanwu District, called a carriage, and went straight to Beijing Qianmen Railway Station.

This day is the day when the five ministers officially go abroad for inspection.The special car prepared by the Railway Bureau has a total of five sections, the first two sections are for the entourage, the third section is for the luxury floats of the five ministers, the fourth section is for the servants, and the last section is for luggage.Originally scheduled to depart at 10 o'clock.The special car was surrounded by strict security, and all the people seeing off and onlookers were blocked from the cordon.

After 8 o'clock, Xu Shichang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, appeared first.Then, the official sedan chairs of Shaoying, the right minister of the Ministry of Commerce, Duanfang, the governor of Hunan, and Dai Hongci, the servant of the household department arrived one after another...

A young servant was among the crowd and was unable to board.He was sweating profusely, as if he had something on his mind.At this time, the see-off team of Fu Guogong Zaize appeared.Zaize is the sixth-generation great-grandson of Kangxi and the husband of Jingrong, the eldest daughter of Guixiang, the second younger brother of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Jingrong's younger sister is Longyu, the Empress of Guangxu. Therefore, there are many people and gifts to send off.There was a small servant holding two large snack boxes, and while walking, he accidentally tripped over something and fell to the ground.The young servant ran over, helped him up, and said, "Brother, you have taken too much, let me help you." Then, he picked up the snack box on the ground and caught up with the seeing-off team.

When he got on the train, he put the snack box away and walked into the carriage of the float.However, when they reached the junction of the fourth compartment and the third compartment, they were blocked by soldiers with guns.

"Who are you? With which adult?"

"My surname is Xia, and I am Master Ze's follower!"

"Master Ze's follower? This is an important place, and no one is allowed to enter without the master's order."

"I have an urgent matter with Master Ze!"

"You can't go in if you are in a hurry!"

The young servants quarreled with the guards.At this moment, the train started to move, and some officials heard the movement and came over to see what happened.In desperation, the young servant stretched his hand into his bosom, closed his eyes, and yanked hard. There was a loud "boom", shaking the world, killing and injuring more than a dozen people on the spot. Shaoying's right leg was injured. Duan Fang and Dai Hongci were slightly injured, and Zai Ze was blinded by the blast. He touched his neck with a wounded bloody hand and asked, "Where is my head?"

Wu Yue died heroically.When his fiancée Yan Wuwei heard the news of her husband's heroic death for the country, she committed suicide generously and was praised by everyone.

According to the criminal law of the Qing Dynasty, a radical must be added to the prisoner's name to show insult.Therefore, the Qing court called Wu Yue "Wu Yue".
