Chapter 69

On May 25, 1908 (the 34th year of the Guangxu period), Yuan Mansion, Beijing.

For the Chinese, May is a very shocking month. In fact, China was actually the nominal ruler Cixi and Guangxu died on the same day. A few days later, the Party of Science and Technology started again. The army entered Hunan and held down the local constitutionalists and beat them up. The matters in Hunan were not yet played, and Sichuan was in an uprising again.

Moreover, it was not the revolutionary party that revolted this time, but the rebellion of China's largest industrial company, Xingke Group, and the famous entrepreneur, Westernization expert and thinker, Mr. Wen Desi rebelled. What is even more incredible is that Mr. Wen Desi is actually the chief leader of the Science and Technology Society Party! The world-famous "Shishou" Rossi was actually his subordinate.

This series of explosive news has left everyone unresponsive for a long time.

On the afternoon of May 18, news of the successful uprising in Sichuan came again. The uprising that day controlled most of Sichuan on the same day. This amazing efficiency caused the whole country to stumble.

"Hey, even Wen Desi has rebelled. Unfortunately, such a foreign affairs expert cannot be used by the court." Yuan Datou sighed and cursed: "Hmph, I have said a long time ago that Chen Kuilong is a traitor who misleads the country!! The railway is state-owned, and he has prepaid for 30 years of taxes within 5 years. It's really a pussy who thinks it! Isn't this forcing man to rebel? Humph, good death! Such a dog is worthy of death!"

Yuan Datou threw the newspaper in his hand on the table, which published the news that the former Sichuan Governor Chen Kuilong was executed after being tried by the public, and also included photos. The people of Sichuan hated this guy to the core. If it weren't for the revolutionary army, this guy would have been torn alive by the angry masses. It would not be the turn of Mingzhengzhuan to punish him.

Yang Shiqi sneered: "Hmph, isn't that guy Chen Kuilong always like this? It's not a waste of time to call him three feet tall. I'm not surprised that he could come up with such an idea. But the court would agree, and I think they were also dizzy."

Wang Shizhen said: "Zhongtang, I think Wen Desi had a long time ago. When the Kyodo Society started, Chen Kuilong had not entered Sichuan. The equipment of the bandits was actually comparable to that of the great powers. I used to wonder where they got it, but now the truth is revealed. It turns out that the Kyodo Society was raised by Wen Desi..."

Yuan Datou's expression also became serious: "This Wen Desi is so tolerant, it's really hard to deal with. What benefits can he do if he is an American, and he is involved in the matter of China?"

"What's wrong with this? Isn't Sun Yat-sen also an American?" said Yang Shiqi.

Suddenly, his face changed and he cried out: "Oh, no! That Wen Desi is already my Chinese nationality!"

Yang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Zhongtang, shortly after the promulgation of the Qing Nationality Regulations in March this year, the magistrate of Neijiang sent Wen Desi's naturalization application, and only took back the approval from the Ministry of Civil Affairs last month. This was your special approval..."

"Yes, I remembered it too. King Su mentioned this last month and praised him for not forgetting his homeland." Yuan Shikai slapped his forehead and remembered it too.

At that time, Shanqi, who was in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, gave Wen Desi's naturalization application to several court officials for discussion, and they still sighed. Because Wen Desi did not comply with the first provisions, "he lived in China for more than ten consecutive years", his application was specially approved after discussion. Datou was the first to vote for it, so he now felt that he was being ripped off.

The "Qing Qing Nationality Regulations" is the first nationality management law in China. It was promulgated on March 28, 1909 in the original time and space. However, affected by the butterfly effect, this law was advanced to March 10, 1908, and the text of the article naturally increased its efforts. Although the time was advanced by one year, the content did not change.

From this legal clause, we can see that the difficulty of naturalization in China is really a tradition, which has started from the Qing Dynasty. For example, the Regulations stipulate that foreigners must meet the following conditions for naturalization: (1) Those who live in China for a continuous period of more than ten years. (2) Those who are over 20 years old are capable according to the laws of the country. (3) Those who are well-behaved. (4) Those who have equivalent assets or skills to be independent. (5) Those who should be discontinued after naturalization according to the laws of the country.

If these five requirements are not met, it is "Any foreigner or stateless person who has a special reputation in China, even if he does not take into account the first to fourth paragraphs of the previous article, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will submit an order and be granted a special naturalization." In other words, in principle, it will only count if the emperor approves it, which is higher than the door frame approved by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Red Dynasty in the later years. Of course, the emperor is still young now, and the four major guardians have the final say.

Wen Desi didn't have to be so troublesome at first, but considering that he would definitely face public opinion attacks controlled by hostile forces in the future, he would actively apply for naturalization in order to avoid being captured by the other party and attacked by the other party. Although Wen Desi himself doesn't care about this, he also has to consider the reputation of the Party of Science and Technology. It is always good to avoid such troubles, but it will not cost a few.

Mr. Wen’s move now made Datou so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. His face was so hot that he had millions of magical beasts running by in his heart. Damn, he had just been naturalized less than a month and rebelled. How could you do this like that? This is too slap in the face!

However, no matter how angry the big head is, he can only hold it in his arms first. There is no way. The Party of Science and Technology is too strong. Although they are using large-scale troops in Hunan, there are still 7 entire regiments in Hubei, with more than a dozen battalions-level units with more than 40,000 troops. There are dozens of places that are not even included. Not to mention that Wusheng Pass is also in the hands of the Party of Science and Technology. With Beiyang's current strength, I'm afraid that even Wusheng Pass cannot be defeated.

The new army of the nine towns planned by the Qing court was still under construction, with only four old troops exceeding 4 towns, with a total strength of more than 50,000. Although it seems to be a little more than the revolutionary army in Hubei, there are much more targets to be prepared for. The fifth town in Xuzhou must not be moved, otherwise Jiangsu should not be wanted. Xu Shaozhen’s ninth town is not a scarecrow.

The Ninth Town has changed a lot now. With the support of the "Amalgam Organization", its personnel and equipment have far exceeded that of the fifth Town. Now Zhang Yongcheng of the fifth Town is forced to sleep and is looking for reinforcements every day, so he can't get out people.

Now compared with the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, the Beiyang Army, which is large, not only does not have an advantage in terms of number of people, but also has been completely destroyed in terms of equipment.

The heads of the Beiyang army were speechless about the name "Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army", because this name was too much for selling dog meat with sheep. Who has ever seen "Workers and Peasants" who have been equipped with light machine guns to squads, heavy machine guns, artillery equipment to companies, and armed teeth? Not to mention the helmets that are so popular and pistols are popular among individuals, even kids have them!

The Beiyang military leaders, including Datou, can't help rolling their eyes every time they hear the "Works and Peasants Revolutionary Army". How can there be such a crazy and cool "Works and Peasants" in the world? The army of the great powers is not so luxurious, and they are also "Works and Peasants". You sister! This name is purely a fool! Isn't this clearly a to insult everyone's IQ?

Because of this, when the Science and Technology Socialist Party attacked Hunan, the Qing court had no intention of being a fisherman at all. Because it was not a "snipe and clam fight" at all, but a "little one fights against rabbits". If the "fisherman" goes up at this time, it will not be a cheap one, but a gift to the countryside - looking for a rhythm of smoking.

They had no choice but to watch Wen Desi's uprising in Sichuan, and they could only watch it. The revolutionary army's completely unreasonable occupation speed made them even more unbelievable. Because according to the telegram from the Science and Technology Socialist Party today, the revolutionary army had liberated Long'an Prefecture (Pingwu), Ningyuan Prefecture (Xichang), Yazhou Prefecture (Ya'an), Kangding Prefecture, Yongning Prefecture (Xichang), Songpan Hall, Lifan Hall (Lixian), Maogong Hall (Xiaojin). Everyone knows the terrain of Sichuan, how could it be so fast under such a difficult traffic condition?

The leaders of the Beiyang army are all old corpses, and of course they are not unfamiliar with the speed of the march, so they don’t believe it at all, thinking that it is the party of science and technology that is bragging. It is understandable to say that the places near the Chengdu-Chongqing Line are convenient and the speed is faster. But in remote areas such as Xichang and Kangding, the traffic conditions will be more deceptive as much as you want. This speed is simply impossible!

Of course, they also knew very well that even if the Party of Science and Technology Party bragged, they had only advanced the progress. With the Party of Science and Technology Party, it would take only two or three months to unify Sichuan. At this time, they could not do anything at all. It would take at least half a year for the new army in Jiuzhen to practice well.

On the same day, Hanoi, Vietnam.

"I really didn't expect that Wen Desi was the chairman of the Science and Technology Society Party, and Huanqing (Tao Chengzhang) actually became their vice chairman..." Sun Wen held the latest newspaper, his face turned red and red.

"Zhongshen, most of your liberation meeting has become a science and social party. You don't know?" Liao Zhongkai asked in a frustration.

"How could I know? They haven't contacted me for a long time..." Cai Yuanpei was now in shame and anger. It was obvious that Tao Chengzhang and the others did not even call him like this. Well, he was not the boss at first, but he couldn't resist thinking that way.

Sun Wen is in a bad mood now. A few days ago, he excitedly sent a mediation telegram to the Science and Technology Society Party, but it was so sank to the sea and had no response. The Science and Technology Society Party had no intention of stopping. On the 20th, he conquered Changsha. Tan Yankai fled in a panic and rushed to Hengyang overnight, and then turned to Lingling. Now he is probably huddling and trembling.

It was not the first time that the Science and Technology Socialist Party did not give him face. Before Kyodo News officially revolt, he sent people to contact him, but Kyodo News ignored him, the "revolutionary leader", and the people sent were just taken over by the food and sent him to see him off. Not to mention, in early May, they sent Sun Yat-sen to Hubei to carry out work. They heard that they were sent to the mines to serve hard labor.

Wen Desi was even more rude. In the past, Sun Wen sent him to fight for the rich people in Qiufeng, but they were all driven out without hesitation. The inside line placed in Xingke was missing, and it was a bit of a disaster. Even the forces such as Ge Laohui, who leaned towards Sun Wen near Neijiang, were wiped out by Wen Desi's militia for various reasons.

"President, it's not good! It's not good!" Hu Hanmin hurriedly ran in.

There have been people in Tongmenghui staying at the Hanoi Telegraph Bureau to grasp the latest news in China. Today is Hu Hanmin's turn. Looking at his expression now, it is definitely not a good thing, and Sun Wen and others' hearts suddenly rose.

Liao Zhongkai hurriedly asked, "Zhantang, what's wrong?"

"Yingshi...Yingshi...He..." Hu Hanmin's face was pale and panting.

Cai Yuanpei brought a glass of water and came over: "Zhantang, drink a little water first, and talk slowly..."

Hu Hanmin took a few sips of water before he gasped and said excitedly: "Yingshi, he...he was killed by the Science and Technology Social Party! Zhiqing was also killed at the same time... They were also hung at the gate of Chenzhou City to show public..." Hu Hanmin said while wiping his tears.

"Ah, why did the Science and Technology Social Party kill Yingshi?"

"Where are the other comrades who are with Yingshi?"

"Have the Science and Technology Social Party reached Chenzhou?"

Everyone was shocked, and a series of questions came one after another.
