Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Rescue

Five hours later, Ping Shanzhou returned to the legation and told Liang Qichao that he had sent Tan Sitong directly to the guild hall, and there were already suspicious people near the guild hall.Ping Shanzhou thought that he would think of a way to see if he could persuade Tan Sitong.He walked out of the room and went to find Lin Quanzhu. I just sent Tan Sitong back to the guild hall, he is determined to die.Ping Shanzhou said to his envoy, but I felt that there might be some secrets in the conversation between him and Liang Qichao just now, such as his relationship with Da Dao Wang Wu and the others, and he seemed unwilling to say more.In addition, during his conversation, he repeatedly and skillfully emphasized that both the walker and the dead are necessary and indispensable, and he repeatedly spoke from the position that Liang Qichao should escape. I can see that one of the purposes of his repeated emphasis is to make Liang Qichao not feel Guilt, insecurity, or embarrassment.He, Tan Sitong, is truly a man of great chivalry and tenderness, bold and careful, unruffled in times of crisis.It's such a pity that such a Chinese talent, such a person, lost his life in vain!What a pity!

We still have to figure it out.Lin Quanzhu nodded and looked out the window.He put the five fingers of his right hand against those of his left, and tapped his two index fingers against each other.The crux of the problem is to make Tan Sitong's reason for seeking death untenable, so that he can be persuaded to escape.According to what you said, you felt that Tan Sitong's conversation with Liang Qichao might be a bit hidden, and I think this is the key.These secrets may be the reasons why Tan Sitong refused to escape. If these reasons can be resolved, maybe he will change his mind. Ping Shanzhou nodded.

Lin Quanzhu asked: What was the reason why Tan Sitong told Liang Qichao that he would not escape? He said two reasons. One reason is that every country will shed blood for reform, and he is willing to shed this blood, and use his blood to inspire people and facilitate the propaganda of reform; the other reason is very strange, he said that he could not decide Is it better to take the road of revolution to save China, or to take the road of reform, but it is more inclined to revolution.Later, when he met Kang Liang, he took the road of improvement and started a reform together. As a result of this reform, he was willing to die to prove that the road of reform would not work, and everyone will follow the road of revolution from now on.

This is strange, I only heard of people riding on the wall alive, never heard of people sitting on the wall dead.Lin Quanzhu showed the amused look of Japanese politicians. Tan Sitong is a hero, but where is the person sitting on the fence?And people are living on the fence to gain advantage; when people are dead, what advantage is there to take advantage of?If the situation is such that he must die, before he dies, when he has no choice, he may, as you said, grab a few more beautiful reasons to die, and there is a possibility of sitting on the fence.But Tan Sitong obviously has the right to choose, he obviously can not die, and he is determined to die, obviously there are reasons for his true belief.

I wish I knew what that was, the Chinese are too hard to understand.I was in China, and they said I was a Chinese expert, but when I met a Chinese like Tan Sitong, I couldn't figure him out. Generally speaking, those who are willing to die have relatively simple minds and relatively simple beliefs. Because of simplicity, they tend to have courage and will not be half-hearted.But Tan Sitong is completely different. He is so complicated that it is difficult to fully understand him.It's incredible that he can do such a complicated martyrdom, especially seeing his kung fu. Let's do what we can.Lin Quansuke sighed, Mr. Ito also said that these Chinese youths are the soul of China, and we should save them. Mr. Ito's opinion must be taken seriously. Mr. Ito has the most insight.Purely from the standpoint of the Japanese government, I am only an acting minister, and I really dare not take such a big idea. Fortunately, Mr. Ito is in Beijing, and he must have said that he should save them, so I am relieved.The way now is, you invite a few more of your brothers, and then go to the guild hall to persuade Tan Sitong together. You can skillfully use the name of Mr. Ito and say that I conveyed it.Mr. Ito hopes that Mr. Tan will put the overall situation first, and it is better to go to Japan first, and Xu Tu will act aggressively.Due to the official position of the Japanese government, it cannot take the initiative to invite Mr. Tan, but can only pass on Mr. Ito's kindness, and ask Mr. Tan to think twice.In addition, several of you Japanese brothers came to invite him to Japan, so naturally it is different from his own request for political asylum.Tan has a strong self-esteem, so using the above method may be more effective.In short.What I can do, I will definitely do, and I am willing to do it, but it is too obvious and too proactive to reveal the official position of Japan, which cannot be done in my capacity, and Tan Sitong will not accept it.From my personal point of view, I have great sympathy and admiration for these Chinese youths, and I am willing to help them; from the point of view of the Japanese government, the Japanese government cannot give up the opportunity to do something cold, as long as there is no obvious violation of diplomatic practices, Japan The government must secretly support the second and third forces in China, which is why our diplomacy is superior to that of Westerners.Knowing how to burn a cold stove is a technique of the Chinese people. The Japanese can learn it, but the real British and Americans can't learn it.Okay, let's do it like this, okay?

Ping Shanzhou said: Good idea, the brothers will come to the embassy later, and I will ask them to go there.We don't understand politics, we only know that we come to China to help these people with ideals and courage. Your background, I think I know.Lin Quansuke stared at Hirayama Zhou, coming to China, there are too few relatively simple Japanese like you.But since you are here, I have to tell you that in the eyes of everyone, you must have a backer. Who is the backer? Xuanyang Society?Is it the Black Dragon Society?Is it the military department?Is it a capitalist?Everyone knows it well, and so do the Chinese people.

But we are nothing. I think I know that you are nothing, but you don't know it, and neither do the Chinese people.Generally speaking, people of your type do not live well in Japan.But come to China, what are you doing here?Therefore, there are two schools of thought. One school of opinion is that you are ultra-nationalists in Japan. You formally belong to the underworld, but the real backer of the underworld is the Japanese military department. Therefore, you are the vanguard of the Japanese military department’s territorial expansion policy. , to win over the opposition forces in China, as a foreshadowing; another view is that you are right-wing elements of Japanese civil rights, and the backstage bosses are emerging industrial capitalists in Japan. If you want to expand your power, strengthen the representative system, and weaken the dictatorship of the vassal government, you first went to China. Come, make a foreshadowing, in order to hold China in the future to gain self-respect and grasp the Chinese market.

As I said, we are nothing.Ping Shanzhou denied. Like I said, I think I know this.I know you well, so I said that when you come to China, there are too few simple Japanese like you. So you know what we are? Do you want to hear it?Am I kidding you? To listen, not to get angry. You are a kind of fanatic.You can't sit still at home, so you go outside and always make trouble for others.You have a kind of troublemaker, always trying to topple everything that's overhead.The Japanese government is too stable, and you cannot overthrow it, so you went to China to make trouble.Aren't you representatives of the Japanese government making waves in China?totally different.You make waves, at least in appearance, you must talk about ideals, loyalty, conscience, friendship, and friends. You are helping the weak to beat the strong.We are not so stupid.We openly help the strong, secretly help the weak, and gain room to bargain with the strong.One day, when the price is good, we can sell the weak to the strong; or if the price is not good, we can support the weak to overthrow the strong, or make the weak take control of one side.During the whole operation process, there is no ideal popularity, conscience, or friends, but only the interests of the Japanese Empire.What we are doing is something that is really beneficial to Japan: you are making nonsense.You want China to be strong, and China is strong, which is not good for Japan.

If you continue to develop like this, as long as Japan is strong, it doesn't matter if China is weak. In the long run, if China is weak, Japan will be weak. Don't forget the fact that all Asians are yellow.The world will definitely develop like this in the future. A Japanese diplomat, not a Japanese seer, not a Japanese moralist.I'm not interested in what happens a hundred years from now.What interests me is different from what you are interested in. But now you, like us, are interested in saving these weak Chinese.Even you help us. help you?It is you who help us, don’t you still not see that you have done things on behalf of the Japanese government that the Japanese government is inconvenient and unable to do.

We are not used by the government. That is your thinking, naive thinking.It's a pity that you can't escape the fate of being used, maybe you don't know it.But the fact is always: you are being used by the Japanese government invisibly, or by the military of the extremist nationalists, or by the chaebols of the civil rights right-wing elements, or even, worst of all, by the Chinese people. Do you think we are fools, we are so easy to be taken advantage of? Whether you are fools or not depends on which road you take.At least in terms of appearance, you must talk about ideals, loyalty, conscience, friendship, and friends, and help the weak beat the strong. On the outside, you are on this road, this is the road of fools, and this is doomed to you The fate of being exploited.Your hard work on this road, if you succeed, you will not be the ones to gain the results; if you fail, no one else will be responsible, and you will be swept to the grave.When I came back from the grave, I still laughed at you as fools.

You mean we're going the wrong way? Depends on which point of view you look at it from.Generally speaking, the path you take is the path of a knight. From this point of view, your concept of success or failure is fundamentally different from the common world. Others think you are being used, but you sneer three times. Why?Your outlook on life is to donate money and fight for justice, solve problems and solve disputes, and you are not interested in achievements, power, fame and wealth in the world.So, when you don't get these things but are obtained by others, the world thinks you are fools, but you sneer three times. The world thinks you are a loser, but you are content.So, from your chivalrous point of view, you are on the right track.But, my God!Who can understand?The chivalrous philosophy and the chivalrous outlook on life were brought to us in Japan by the novels of the Tang Dynasty in China in the ninth century, and now it is the nineteenth century.You are too classic. Are you laughing that we are too outdated? maybe.The classics may be reincarnated into the future, but the classics cannot be reincarnated into the modern. Your behavior is either history or the future, but not modern. Maybe you're right, we're not modern.If we were modern, we would not have made friends with Tan Sitong.They are not modern either.They are the classical Chinese bushido, and they use the classical to create the future for China. Classical Chinese Bushido, you are quite right.Bushido is the soul of our Yamato. Mr. Ito said that they are the soul of China, and the Chinese soul is the classical Chinese Bushido.It is not that there is no Bushido in China, but the development of Bushido in China is too biased towards the personal grievances of a family, or the personal grievances of a gang in a region. It is a pity that their goals of bravery are too narrow and too small. Blood is seldom shed for the big goal of the country and the nation. It is a big problem for the Chinese people to be brave in private fights and timid in justice.There are two broad categories of Bushido in China. At this time, there was a knock on the door, Lin Quansuke went to open the door, and three Japanese came in. They were Hirayama Zhou's brothers, Momotaro, Miyazaki, and Ke Erchang.Ping Shanzhou stood up to meet him, and said, "I just discussed with the minister that we will go to the guild hall to invite Tan Sitong to leave, and now we will go together." The three nodded.Ping Shanzhou said to Lin Quanzhu: We are in a hurry, and we can't take a car to attract attention, so we have to leave quickly. I'll take you downstairs.As Lin Quanzhu said, he closed the door and accompanied them downstairs, and I finished the last paragraph.Just now I said that there are two major types of Bushido in China. These two major types are the Zhuan Zhu type and the Jing Ke type. The Zhuan Zhu type of knights work for small private goals;Both of these two people were recorded in "Historical Records" by Sima Qian, and placed in the chapter of Biography of the Assassin.Sima Qian is the most appreciative of knights, but unfortunately he failed to point out the big difference between the big and small goals of their dedication, and the Chinese don't pay attention.This time you are in contact with the souls of China, if you see the classical Chinese Bushido in them, and you see the side of dedicating themselves to the great goal, everyone will treat you with sincerity, this is the greatest harvest for all of you! When he arrived at the door, Ping Shanzhou said: "Thanks for the minister's advice. When I asked the minister to go upstairs, I would tell Liang Qichao on my behalf that we rushed to the guild hall to persuade Tan Sitong." Lin Quanzhu said: "Of course, I will tell you."Liang Qichao is from Cantonese, and he may not be used to northern dishes. I have asked the cook to make beef brisket stew for him. He is here, and I will take care of everything. Please rest assured. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ Walking on the road, Hirayama Zhou explained in detail the conversation he had just had with Lin Quansuke.Ke'er asked, what did Lin Quanzhu say Zhuanzhu Jingke was, and who were they? Ping Shanzhou said: They are Chinese knights, and they are all people from two thousand years ago.Zhuan Zhu was a dutiful son of the state of Wu. He liked to fight and fight against injustices. No one could persuade him to fight. He didn't dare to fight unless his mother shouted.At that time, Prince Guang of the state of Wu was fighting for power with his cousin Wang Liao, and wanted to find an assassin to kill his cousin, so Wu Zixu introduced him to Zhuan Zhu.Young master Guang often goes to Zhuanzhu's house to greet his mother, and gives rice, wine and gifts, taking care of him again and again.Four years passed like this.One day, Zhuan Zhu said to Prince Guang, "I'm a rough man, but you think highly of me like this. I'll die for my confidant. If you need me, please tell me frankly."Young Master Guang said, I want you to assassinate my cousin Wang Liao.Zhuan Zhu said yes, but my mother is still alive, so I'm afraid it won't work now.Young Master Guang said, I also know that you have this difficulty, but I really can't find anyone more suitable than you to help me.In case you have an accident due to the assassination, your mother is my mother, and your son is my son.Zhuan Zhu said, good.But the guards on Wang Liao's side were very strict, how could he come close to assassinate him?Gongzi Guang said, my cousin has a weakness, that is, he likes to eat grilled fish, if you cook the grilled fish well, you have a chance to kill him.So Zhuan Zhu went to Taihu Lake to learn how to cook grilled fish and became an expert.After waiting for a long time, Young Master Guang thought the time was right, so he handed Zhuan Zhu the most famous small dagger called Yuchang Sword without saying a word.Zhuan Zhu understood what he meant. I dare not make my own decisions at such a juncture. I'd better tell my mother and get back to you.So I went home, and as soon as I got home, I saw my mother and cried.His mother saw the truth and said that the young master treats us so well and should work hard for him. Don't worry about me. Now I want to drink water. You go to the river to fetch some water.Zhuan Zhu went to fetch water, and when he returned, he found his mother had hanged herself.So Zhuan Zhu devoted himself to working for Prince Guang. Prince Guang asked him to make grilled fish for Wang Liao. The guards of King Liao were strict to prevent him from tampering, and he was restricted from taking off his clothes to serve food. In the end, he hid the fish sausage sword in the grilled fish. After stabbing Wang Liao to death, he himself was hacked to death by Wang Liao's guards on the spot.Just now, Lin Quanzhu said that Zhuan Zhuan's Chinese Bushido was a small private goal, and he thought it was too meaningless, so he was referring to this story. Listening to your story, I think Zhuanzhu's mother is more samurai than Zhuanzhu.Her death is much more important than Zhuan Zhu's. Zhuan Zhu is directly repaying the son Guang for his death as a confidant. He only fulfilled such a purpose; but his mother not only fulfilled this purpose, but also fulfilled it. a higher purpose. Your so-called higher purpose is First, in order for her son to accomplish a goal, she actually used one death, and died first, to show her son, so that he would no longer suffer from conflicts, have no worries, and be firm in his determination to accomplish that goal.Second, in terms of action, she can't accomplish this goal with her son, and she doesn't need to participate, but once she dies, she dies for this purpose. Lonely; her approval of her son's behavior was not at all empty talk to ask others to do it, she took a step first to show her son.Third, her son is going to assassinate, in fact, he may not necessarily die, it is unknown whether the matter will be accomplished, and whether people will die or not, it is not that there is no chance of life, but this mother first pushes herself to the point where there is no room and no luck The level of her spirit shows the nobility of her spirit. After Ke Erchang finished speaking, he turned his head and asked Momotaro what he thought. Momotaro thought for a while, and finally said: I think what you said is true.The other thing that caught my attention the most was the way the mother died. She said very little. You pointed out that these three points are all facts, but they are all left for others to explain, and she does not make any explanation herself.But she didn't stop talking completely, she told Zhuan Zhu that she should die for Young Master Guang.After explaining the key points, she will no longer use any sloppy or superfluous ways to say goodbye or make a prediction.Come to hint, and die.She died so freely!I think she is a hero, unattainable, too high. There is also a taller one, Hirayama Zhou took it over, that is the Jing Ke type, another type of Chinese Bushido mentioned by Lin Quanzhu.Jing Ke's time was later than Zhuan Zhu's. Before Qin State was about to destroy the six kingdoms, Prince Dan of Yan State wanted to use assassins to threaten or assassinate Qin Shihuang to avoid subjugation.So Prince Dan went to visit an old knight named Tian Guang, and asked Tian Guang to carry out the assassination plan.Tian Guang said that when a Chollima was young, it could run thousands of miles a day, but when it gets old, a poor ordinary horse can overtake it. The me you Prince Dan heard about and admired is actually me in my youth. I am too old to carry out this plan, but I have a friend named Jing Ke who can do it.Prince Dan then asked Tian Guang to find Jing Ke, and asked Tian Guang not to reveal the plan to others.When Tian Guang saw Jing Ke and got Jing Ke's consent, he asked Jing Ke to contact Prince Dan directly, and he committed suicide himself.Tian Guang's death, like Zhuan Zhu's mother, died very high. First, the scholar died for his confidant. Prince Dan asked him for help. He was willing to devote himself to saving the country, but he was too old. He agreed to the assassination plan and died. Of course, it should be him himself. He thinks that theoretically he deserves to die; secondly, he asked Jing Ke to replace him, because he asked Jing Ke to risk his life, and asked his friend to risk his life in Qin State, but he was in Yan State. He thought it was unreasonable. Thirdly, Jing Ke went to assassinate, whether he will die or not has yet to be determined, but Tian Guang himself first showed Jing Ke that he would not wait for any chance to motivate Jing Ke, and in effect he deserved to die.In these three points, his approach is very similar to that of Zhuan Zhu's mother.The difference is that he told Jing Ke that he was going to commit suicide. He deliberately emphasized the reason for suicide. He said that he was an elder, and the behavior of an elder should not be doubted by others. Prince Dan asked him not to reveal it to others, and he was willing to die to cooperate. This, obviously, does not embarrass Jing Ke.Jing Ke was also tall, so he didn't persuade Tian Guang or stop Tian Guang. He knew that with Tian Guang's heroic character, it was natural for him to commit suicide first as a prelude to this assassination plan.He wanted to persuade Tian Guang to stop Tian Guang, but it was far away and vulgar.Jing Ke later tried to assassinate him, but failed. He died laughing.Before he set off from the country of Yan, everyone felt that there was not much hope of success.Prince Dan and those who knew the secret plan were all at the Yishui River, wearing white clothes and hats to see him off, singing the song "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone."Everyone's mood can be seen from this song. The most touching part of these two assassin stories is not the assassination itself, but the two old men who committed suicide. These two people have a common characteristic, Momotaro, what do you think? is old. Always a general phenomenon, not a feature. suicide. Suicide is the result of a characteristic, and it cannot be considered a characteristic. what is that? The common feature is that they don't have to die, but he has to die.Their greatest and greatest character is manifested here.Did you notice?If they didn't die, it wasn't wrong; but when they died, it suddenly seemed more right.If they are not dead, they are not lacking; but when they are dead, they suddenly appear more substantial.What I mean is, I don't know if it can be said clearly, and it may even be a bit contradictory.But I really feel that if they don't do this, it's not low; if they do, it's higher.Not doing so is not small; doing so is more noble and great. I feel what you feel. The difference between heroes and mortals is here. What you feel is a basic question of heroes and mortals. This is not just a basic question of heroes and mortals, this is not just a hero, this is the heroic state of a saint, this is a mahatma. Your talk of saints reminds me of Socrates.According to the law at that time, Socrates could not die at all.Because according to the law at that time, the plaintiff and the defendant proposed the punishment method separately, and the judge chose one.At that time, the plaintiff was supported by the new rulers, and the proposed punishment was the death penalty; if Socrates asked for mercy, they could pardon him, but he didn't bother to do so. He was willing to die, so in terms of the punishment proposed by the defendant, He was only willing to pay thirty small coins, which made the judge angry, so he was sentenced to drink poison.Later, his friends bribed every jailer so that he could escape, but he refused to escape and was willing to die.In the end, he died so calmly. He drank the poison and told the crying students around him to be quiet, because men wanted to die quietly.Socrates was a saint, but died so heroically, a mahatma.I think Zhuan Zhu's mother and Tian Guang are both mahatmas. Zhuan Zhu's mother is an ordinary old man. According to you, ordinary people can become saints and mahatmas? certainly.When ordinary people become saints and become Mahatmas, it is even more precious.Like Zhuanzhu's mother, we don't know anything about her life history. What we do know is her death, and she died so well.She was ordinary and ordinary all her life, and everything about her was focused on one death, and she died for the sake of her son. She was so ordinary that she didn't have a name left behind, and her name was also connected with her son. Her name was Zhuan Zhu's mother. . ☆☆☆☆☆☆ When they arrived at the guild hall, Tan Sitong was not there. The concierge said that Mr. Tan had gone out an hour ago and left alone.After waiting for a while, I had to leave a note saying that there is something urgent, please contact us when you come back, and left the hall.They decided to leave a note instead of leaving anyone to wait for him. One advantage was that Tan Sitong could leave the clubhouse to find them immediately when he came back, which also reduced his time in the clubhouse, which was too unsafe. The four returned to the Japanese legation, it was already late.Lin Quanzhu was not there, so they went to see Liang Qichao. During the conversation, a Japanese employee of the embassy came in and said that the British embassy had received news that more than ten people from Zhang Yinhuan's family had come yesterday, saying that Kang Youwei was arrested, but the wrong person was arrested. A man surnamed Qi proved that the situation has deteriorated very much.Zhang Yinhuan and Kang Youwei were from the same township and sympathized with the reformation, but he was not considered a Kang faction. He himself was a minister of the general administration, which was equivalent to the minister of foreign affairs.He served as an imperial envoy to the United States, Spain, and Peru, and was also the Chinese representative in the celebration of Queen Victoria's 60th birthday. He disapproved of Li Hongzhang's excessively pro-Russian policy, which made Li Hongzhang dissatisfied with him; he was closer to Emperor Guangxu, and he Seeing Guangxu, the time often exceeds the regulations, which arouses the empress dowager's suspicion of him.He was the most diplomatic person in the government at that time. He had lived in a foreign country, knew the customs of foreign countries, and knew that China must modernize in order to have a future.One year before Kang Youwei's political reform, he asked someone to compile more than 80 kinds of "Western Learning Prosperity Series" to attract the attention of the Chinese.In the spring of the reform year, the German prince came. In terms of etiquette, he advocated that the Qing government should comply with international etiquette such as bowing and shaking hands. The conservative ministers opposed it, but Guangxu supported him.His various styles make people think that Kang Youwei's reform is in line with him.On August 5th, Ito Hirobumi met Guangxu and was brought into the palace by him. He shook hands with Ito Hirobumi according to international etiquette, and took Ito to the palace. The Queen Mother saw him behind the curtain and thought he was in collusion with Ito Hirobumi, so the intimacy is the evidence!So he was also involved in this big turmoil. After midnight, there was no news from Liuyang Guild Hall.We decided to go see it again tomorrow morning. ☆☆☆☆☆☆ August 9th.The Western calendar was September 24, 1898, and it was a cloudy day in Beijing. Ping Shan didn’t sleep well all night, so he simply got up early. He woke them up at five o’clock, dressed and went to the outer city.They walked into the living room and were about to leave the living room. They saw Liang Qichao in the living room, and they knew that he hadn't slept all night.Liang Qichao took out three written letters and an envelope from his arms, and handed them to Ping Shanzhou. Unable to persuade him to come in person, I had to write another letter, making my last effort.The letter repeatedly stated that yesterday he used the example of the orphan of the Zhao family as a reason for him not to leave.Tan Sitong is from Hunan. Hunan people are nicknamed donkeys. They have a donkey temper. It is difficult to listen to advice. When dealing with Hunan people, you'd better provide information, reasons, hints, and let him figure it out. He figured it out by himself. Just think it is his own decision, not the result of your persuasion, so that his donkey temper will not mess things up. Hirayama Zhou took the letter, read it with the three of them, and put it back in the envelope.Hirayama Zhou said: Mr. Liang's writing is really good, we must try our best to persuade him to come. If he can't be persuaded to come, he will also be kidnapped and tied.The bold Momotaro interjected. Everyone laughed, and the serious air eased a little. When the four of them arrived at the Liuyang Guild Hall, it happened that Tan Sitong was with them.Tan Sitong first apologized for not replying.He read Liang Qichao's letter, and then burned it in front of everyone. I don't want to leave any clues from this letter and let them infer that Mr. Liang is in the Japanese legation.Tan Sitong explained.Please give my regards to Mr. Liang, I am very busy and will not reply to his letter.I am not leaving.Thank you Mr. Liang for your kindness, and thank you for your kindness. Mr. Tan, Ping Shanzhou said, Mr. Liang told us that we must ask Mr. Tan not to make unnecessary sacrifices.Mr. Liang even said that if Mr. Montan understands, he might as well force Mr. Tan to do it. Tan Sitong laughed, how could he force the law?I don't believe what Mr. Liang said, maybe you have misunderstood. The so-called reluctance, Momotaro interrupted, and the four of us walked together with Mr. Tan in our arms. Tan Sitong smiled, so I don't believe what Mr. Liang said, because Mr. Liang is deeply aware of my Tan Sitong's martial arts and my Chinese Kungfu.He knew that if I refused, you four Japanese would not be able to get close to me.And, just kidding, you want to engage in kidnapping in China, which is too much like imperialism, to tie people to the legation?You are too disobedient to international law! What public international law did the Manchu government abide by?Didn't they kidnap Sun Wen in London?Kerr said long. Didn't it turn out to be a big joke?You can't afford to lose this kind of person.And they are Chinese kidnapping Chinese, you are Japanese kidnapping Chinese, how can this work? Oh, we are Japanese!I forgot that we are Japanese.Kerr scratched her head. Let me remind you, you'd better not forget that you are Japanese!In China, you forget that you are Japanese, it is too dangerous.Tan Sitong smiled. dangerous what? The Japanese are the Japanese, and if you forget that you are Japanese, the Japanese will also forget you.At that time, the Japanese thought you were Chinese, and the Chinese still thought you were Japanese, so what were you then? Pingshan Zhou turned his head suddenly, looked at Ke'er for a while, and a burst of suspicion emerged from his eyes.Pingshan Zhou turned his head and turned to Tan Sitong: What was it then?He is a Japanese patriot who helped China fight for independence and freedom in difficult times.The Japanese will not deny me, and neither will the Chinese. won't you?Are you too optimistic?Tan Sitong sneered. You said this, which proves that you are too ignorant of the history of Japan's relationship with China.Historically, when China was in trouble, you Japan never helped it.The last years of the Song Dynasty and the last years of the Ming Dynasty are the most famous examples. Not only did they not help, they even acted inhumanely. The Chinese Zhu Shunshui came to Japan to ask for help. He was honored by Mitohou in Japan and helped Japan improve. Political and economic education is tantamount to being a national teacher, but his grandson later visited him from China, and Japan did not allow them to meet.Zheng Chenggong's mother is Japanese, and he is of Chinese-Japanese mixed race, but Japan did not help him when he was in trouble.On the other hand, China is helping Japan instead.At the end of the Song Dynasty, with the help of the Chinese Li Zhuyin and the Chinese monk Zuyuan, the Japanese had the spiritual motivation to resist Mongolia; at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with the help of the Chinese Zhu Shunshui, the Japanese had the spiritual origin of the restoration of the royal government and even the Meiji Restoration.From the standpoint of each country, the Japanese really owe China, and Japan really lacks the tradition of helping China.Therefore, it is not easy for the Japanese to come to China, so I advise you not to forget that you are Japanese. According to you, what are we doing in China?What are you doing here at Liuyang Guild Hall so early in the morning? What are you doing?Come help the Chinese!Tan Sitong smiled. Doesn't it mean that there is no tradition of helping China? Yes, you are helping the Chinese, but not China.Helping Chinese is of course a small group of Chinese, not all Chinese. What kind of morality is this?Does it work? What's wrong?There is nothing moral to talk about between countries, and it is an idiot to talk about morality between countries.But it differs from person to person.The Japanese are not immoral, but only between people. When you come to China, you can at most stand between people and help Chinese individuals. Not necessarily?Hirayama Zhou disagreed. What if this help conflicts with countries?Tan Sitong asked again. There is currently no conflict.Hirayama Zhou answered. What if there is a conflict? Personal sacrifice of course. What if that sacrifice is morally detrimental?What if Japan is wrong? Let it be detrimental to morality.But when it comes to national boundaries, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. You are sacrificing your personal morality for the benefit of the country. yes. So anyone who makes friends with you will be betrayed by you in the face of national interests?Tan Sitong pressed for questions. yes.But you're using a bad word for betrayal.Hirayama pouted. not good?Now that you have come to China to make friends, are you planning to betray him one day? I didn't make friends with him to betray him, I did come to help him, I just can't guarantee the future. That person made you a friend by making a potential enemy? Don't look at things so pessimistically!We came to China not to make friends with enemies, nor to visit Zhengyangmen. We came to do something beneficial to Japan. If this thing is bad for Japan, will you do it? Of course not. What are you doing now? What we are doing now is beneficial to both China and Japan. I think on the contrary, it should be established that it is beneficial to Japan and also beneficial to China.Kerr cut in and said. This is an important understanding. Didn't we come to Beijing with this understanding and wake up so early?Ping Shanzhou said. That's good!Listening to what you said just now, you seem to be not innocent, you have the tone of the Black Dragon Society.Tan Sitong said. Do you look like me? That's also hard to say.Many people in the Black Dragon Society look like gentlemen, holding a cat in their arms, very kind, making friends with them, they are loyal and courageous.But as soon as they encounter China's problems, they are vicious and vicious, and immediately come up with another standard, which does not respect China's status at all.Tan Sitong smiled and changed the topic, but although we had doubts and debates today, I would still like to tell you what I feel in my heart, and I am grateful to you.And, speaking of personal chivalry, I trust your personal chivalry.Well, I still have a lot of things to do today.Ladies and gentlemen, think about the stories of Tsukizhao and Saigo in Japan. When a conflict arises, there are always dead and undead.Tell Mr. Liang, Yuezhao and Xixiang are two, and he and I each follow the example of one person.By the way, think about your Japanese reformers, is the number one hero of the reform Xixiang?Is it Kido?Is it Okubo?Is it Ito?Is it Okuma?Is it Inoue?Is it Goto?Is it Itagaki?I don't think so, the real hero is Yoshida Shoin.Yoshida Shoin never had a successful career at all in his life. He tried to flee abroad, but failed; he tried to gather people with lofty ideals to help the emperor, but failed; he wanted to send comrades to prevent evil forces from coming, but failed.Finally, at the age of thirty, he died in the execution ground.However, after Yoshida's death, the whole of Japan was inspired, turbulent, and finally achieved the fruit of the restoration, which proves that Yoshida survived even though he died, and succeeded even though he failed, and he succeeded through failure.I will use this story of Japanese warriors as a parting memorial! ☆☆☆☆☆☆ When the four Japanese walked out of the Liuyang Guild Hall, everyone muttered. I thought we were Chinatown.Hirayama Zhou admired.Unexpectedly, Mr. Tan is a Japanese expert!The Japanese history and political situation that he blurted out are really treasures of his family, really amazing! It's amazing!Everyone agrees. I have generally heard of the many names that Mr. Tan mentioned.But who did he refer to when he mentioned Yuezhao and Xixiang?Does Xixiang mean Xixiang Longsheng?Momotaro asked. Xixiang is Xixiang Longsheng.平山周說，月照是西京清水寺的和尚，為人豪俠仗義，他出國回來，在西方壓力和幕府壓力下，進行勤王尊王的活動。後來事情鬧大，由近衛公安排，避難於薩摩，由西鄉隆盛收容。最後牽連到西鄉。月照不願連累近衛公和西鄉，乃伸頭給西鄉，表示寧死於同志之手。但西鄉卻若無其事，與月照上船喝酒唱歌，最後兩人相抱，一起跳海了。大家搶救，救起了西鄉，可是月照卻淹死了。西鄉後來變法維新成功，完成了月照勤王尊王的遺願。剛才譚大人叫我們把月照和西鄉的事轉告梁先生，就是期勉梁先生以同志的死為激勵，去努力完成未竟之業。譚大人真是大人氣象，太教人佩服了。中國有這種偉大的人物，我們日本要亡中國，可早得很呢！
