"I'll quit too." Song Jiaochu also spoke loudly.

"I'll quit too." Xu Zonghan's voice was full of helplessness. She really didn't want to see the party she was fighting for so divided, but she also had a lot of opinions on Sun Wenhai, not to mention that she had to support her husband.

"Quit, let's all quit. This is my fault, and I should bear it. I will go to the imperial capital to personally apologize to Yuan Wei, and declare that I am a sinner who undermined the peace of the country. I hope that I can warn future generations." Sun Wenhai said heavily Sitting back on the sofa, he murmured.

"Sir, how can you do this? You still shoulder the heavy burden of revolution." Feng Cuifen's tone was already crying.

"Don't be so excited. Hualan's political situation is in turmoil and exploration. Anyone who makes any exploration is worth encouraging. The reason why I haven't made any big moves so far is that I hope everyone's exploration can be successful. But find a political system that is more suitable for Hualan." Zhao Shouhong stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Perhaps for our country, suffering is not a bad thing. The phoenix can only be reborn from the ashes after Nirvana. The people of Hualan can only experience Only by suffering can we awaken quickly. I believe that a nation that has not experienced suffering and resistance cannot forge a true national soul. Only after experiencing the pain of war can we yearn for peace. As long as we get through this period of suffering, we will finally usher in national peace The light of the nation."

"I didn't expect Shou Hong to be so confident in the future of the country. I don't think there is anyone as optimistic as you in the whole country." Huang Bin shook his head and said, "Well, let's not blame the past. Even if we leave the National Congress, everyone is still the same. friend."

"Yes, Keqiang and I have discussed it during this period. We plan to re-form a revolutionary political party. In this way, we will have another path to explore. One more choice will not be a bad thing." Song Jiaochu nodded.

"I wish the two of you success. If you have no place to establish a political party, the Lanfang Republic will always open the door for you." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"Could it be..." Huang Bin's eyes widened, but Zhao Shouhong smiled back.

"Don't you think you're hypocritical?" Shen Ruoxue said after sending everyone away, giving Zhao Shouhong a reproachful look.

"Is it hypocrisy? Seeing so many revolutionary sages, anyone would be excited." Zhao Shouhong smiled and took Shen Ruoxue into his arms and said, "Besides, you have also seen that if you don't make peace, they will fight. "

"Why don't you say what you think in your heart? After all, it is a political system that has been tested for thousands of years and gradually improved." Shen Ruoxue said with a small mouth: "Isn't it much better than their groping, so we can take many shortcuts .”

"Sometimes a shortcut means a lack of foundation. If they haven't hit the south wall, they will not give up their ideals." Zhao Shouhong sighed: "Sometimes people are like this. Little by little growth. Besides, our so-called advanced system is suitable for our era and our national conditions at that time, and it may not be suitable for Hualan in this era. We must not be lazy, and we must use the advanced political system as a template to explore A line that adapts to today's Hualan is also an arduous task."

"I can't say no to you." Shen Ruoxue raised her bright wrist, lightly hammered on Zhao Shouhong's chest and said, "But I believe you must be right. I have always believed since I came to this era."

"Thank you for your trust, I will not let you down. One day, we will witness the strength of our motherland, and perhaps at that time, we can return to our own era."

"I hope so, but I don't have too many illusions." Shen Ruoxue shook her head and said: "Besides, we still have concerns here, can you give up Yuting and Xiaocui?"

"This..." Zhao Shouhong also fell into silence.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ground, coating the entire Bund with a golden layer.Sun Wenhai stood by the Huangpu River, looking at the thriving industrial zone on the opposite bank, he couldn't calm down for a long time. At this time, his mind was like a movie, recalling what he had done in his life, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Li Hongzhang, who was a hot-blooded youth, went into exile overseas for decades in order to fight against the gold.All these encounters made Sun Wenhai instinctively feel a sense of crisis.He hopes that the motherland can be strong, and he hopes to unite more people who are interested in a democratic republic and work hard for the strength of Hualan.

Chapter 5 Nineteen Insist on Leaving

However, as a person who has received both old and new education, Sun Wenhai's way of doing things will unconsciously carry some traces of the old era.Thinking about it now, Zhang Taiyan, Tao Chengzhang broke with him, and Sun Wu and others started anew, it seems that it is not so unforgivable.

Seeing that Sun Wenhai didn't say a word for a long time, and Feng Cuifen who was beside her was full of sadness, she tentatively said: "Sir, it's getting dark, let's go back." move.

"Mr. Sun, why should you be too persistent. There are always regrets in life. As long as you stick to your heart, you don't have to take it too seriously." Zhao Shouhong walked towards Sun Wenhai with a few guards and smiled.

Feng Cuifen turned cold, and said to Zhao Shouhong, "What are you doing here?"

"Ma'am, don't do this, I didn't offend you." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile.

"You made my husband like this, and..." Before Feng Cuifen finished speaking, Sun Wenhai interrupted: "Ah Fen, don't talk nonsense, Governor Zhao is doing it for my own good."

"Mr. Sun, you're being polite. Just call me Shouhong from now on. In front of you, I'm just a junior." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

Sun Wenhai nodded: "Young people have done such a big business, but they are not arrogant at all. Your future is limitless. I have to admit that I am old and I can't see many things clearly. Hualan's future It's up to you young men, I don't think you'll let me down."

"Of course, we all have a common goal, but the means and ways to achieve it are different. I think the same is true for Yuan Wei." Zhao Shouhong replied.

"How can that lone husband and common people's thief be compared with Mr. Feng Cuifen interrupted in dissatisfaction.

Sun Wenhai said: "It may have been like this before, but in retrospect, he is indeed striving for the country's efforts. It's just that in my opinion, what he did was wrong, and I believe he feels the same way."

"Whether it's right or wrong, at least everyone has worked hard. No one can say what the future of Hualan is now. It's better to let everyone develop their strengths and give the country one more choice." Zhao Shouhong said: "Mr. Sun doesn't need to Discouragement, the road to a democratic republic has not come to an end. Although Yuan Wei has the upper hand now, if his policies go wrong, the democratic republic still has great hope."

"Shouhong is right. I shouldn't be so decadent. Maybe I should go to the Western Continent again to experience the essence of democracy." Sun Wenhai is obviously still brooding over what Zhao Shouhong said before, and he hopes to be able to Find the truth to save Hualan.Looking at this middle-aged man, who is nearly 50 years old, still tirelessly looking for ways to save the country, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help being awed.

"It's getting dark, how about I invite Mr. Sun to dinner? Let's have a light meal at the nearby Guanghai Restaurant, and take a look at the night view of the Bund." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

"Alright, I still have a lot to say to you." Sun Wenhai agreed with a smile.

In order to show respect for Sun Wenhai, Zhao Shouhong recruited all the backbones of the Hualan Pioneer Party in Guanghai and introduced them to Sun Wenhai one by one.At the wine table, everyone talked freely and described a better tomorrow. With the strength of wine, Sun Wenhai also delivered a speech, which won applause from all the halls.

Sun Wenhai's heart knot was finally completely opened, and he regained the confidence to continue the revolution.It's just that after drinking, Xie Mingjue commented on Sun Wenhai: "The spirit is commendable, but it is difficult to achieve great things." Of course, this is what he said to Zhao Shouhong in private.

Sun Wenhai decided to go to the Western Continent for investigation in order to perfect his ideal of the Three People's Principles.Although Zhao Shouhong tried every means to keep him, he hoped that he could stay in Gwanghae and wait for the changes in the domestic situation.But Sun Wenhai was determined to go, so in desperation, Zhao Shouhong had no choice but to donate the travel expenses and send him on the big ship to the White Eagle Country.

While Zhao Shouhong and Sun Wenhai were talking about the idea of ​​governing the country in Gwanghae, Chen Hu of the special warfare division led the officers and soldiers of the first regiment and a supply battalion, and they were quietly marching among the vast mountains in the west of Central South Province.Through the local intelligence system, they quickly found the Bailang uprising army that was operating in this area.At this time, they were sneaking in the dark, secretly heading towards the base of the rebel army.

Laojun Mountain is located three kilometers south of Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, Central South Province. It belongs to the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains. It is the main peak of the 200-mile Funiu Mountain, with an altitude of [-] meters.The Funiu Mountains are extremely vast, and have been occupied by peasant rebels throughout the dynasties. There are also many bandits here, and their number is comparable to the western part of Namwon Province.

Just between the gaps in the mountains, under the canopy of the trees, a team in gray plainclothes was moving fast.Their speed is not fast, because there are many hand-pushed wheelbarrows in the team.But from the silent actions of these people and the vigilant eyes, it can be seen that they are a well-trained team.

Abu Chaba, who was conducting reconnaissance several miles in front of the team, turned back with his men.Seeing Abu Chaba coming back, Chen Hu knew there was a situation, and he immediately ordered the team to stop advancing.When he got closer, Abu Chaba said in a low voice: "The brigade commander found a mobile sentry in front of him. I captured a prisoner and came back. I heard that it was Bai Lang's team that was interrogated."

"Oh? Where is Bai Lang now?" Chen Hu showed joy on his face.

Abu Chaba said: "According to the confession of the captives, Bai Lang is in a stockade ten miles away, and there are more than 3000 rebels there."

"Great, I'll go over now, you take the brigade slowly." Chen Hu said.

Abu Chaba grabbed Chen Hu and said, "Brigade Commander, how can you take risks lightly? I think I should go."

"It's not about fighting, it's about negotiating. If you say you are good at fighting, you are far behind when it comes to negotiating." Chen Hu said with a smile: "Besides, with my skill, those who just put down What can a farmer with a hoe do to me?" Chen Hu shook his head confidently, and he asked Abu Chaba to lead the first regiment of special forces soldiers to protect the supply battalion behind, while he himself took four soldiers and rushed towards the target. go.

At this time, the Lishu village was brightly lit, and the soldiers of the rebel army were drinking rice wine looted from the city and roasting sheep from the big sheep pen.The bonfire party is the most common form of entertainment for the rebel army, and it is also the best way for everyone to improve morale and relax in a difficult combat environment.At this time, except for the sentinels on guard, everyone will be happy and happy, so as to forget the pain of battle and the hardships of life.

The officers and soldiers of Bai Lang's army sang and danced, eating meat and drinking in large bowls, all in a state of extreme excitement.However, Bai Lang, who was surrounded by the seat, was frowning and there was no smile on his face.After the Second Revolution was suppressed, Zhang Zhenfang was free to mobilize troops to suppress Bai Lang's rebel army.

Chapter 5: Meet Bai Lang

The cruel Zhang Zhenfang adopted the method of joint security for ten households, and one security for every ten households, and one security chief.These families have to monitor each other. Once someone helps the rebels, but the other families do not report, these ten families will be executed for collaborating with the enemy.Under such a cruel policy, the common people are in a state of panic all day long. They dare not help the rebels for fear of being reported by their neighbors.

Under such circumstances, the rebel army could not get the support of the local people and could not fight against the Northern Territory Army at all.The scope of activities of the rebel army was gradually narrowing. With the repeated suppression by the Northern Territory Army, Bai Lang's subordinates suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat to the Funiu Mountains to rest and recuperate.

However, it is almost autumn now, the weather is getting cooler, and the problems of food and warmth are becoming more and more prominent.Once the mountains are blocked by heavy snow in winter, in the Funiu Mountains in the west of Central South Province, the rebels will face a huge crisis of food and cotton clothes.At that time, the entire rebel army either collapsed due to lack of food, or died of cold and hunger, which Bai Lang didn't want to see.

Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, several black figures suddenly jumped into the village, alarming the crowd dancing around the bonfire. "Who?" Those rebels were startled, but before they could find their weapons, five figures rushed out from the darkness, aiming their twenty-gun Mauser pistols at everyone in the field.

Seeing the other party's dark muzzle, everyone was a little dumbfounded.Because it was a bonfire party, their weapons were all placed in the house. Except for the sentinels on the periphery, no one present was carrying weapons at all.Now someone was able to quietly avoid the sentinels and enter the village, catching them by surprise.

All the rebel officers and soldiers stayed there, only Bai Lang was still awake.He pushed away the crowd and walked out of the crowd, looking at the muzzle on the opposite side, he cupped his hands and said, "Which mountain are these brothers from, do they plan to be black and black? Please draw the line, Bai Lang will definitely satisfy everyone."

"You're Bai Lang?" The leader chuckled, "Sure enough, you're a man, but I'm not here this time to take advantage of others, but to save you."

"Save me?" Bai Lang frowned slightly in doubt, "I don't know brother Gao's name."

"There are too many people here, can you take a step to speak?" The leader looked at the surrounding crowd and said, and he put the pistol back into the holster while speaking.

"You can't go as the head of the family, be careful of their plotting." Some people next to him objected.
