Chapter 45: The Ceremony of Joining the Party

The next day, the peaceful life in Tangwei Village was dispersed by the smell of blood.

The crazy killings last night made the people in the village have a new view of Zhong Yang. They are no longer as grateful and jealous as before, but have a sense of fear and restraint. The powerful personal force that is beyond ordinary people is the first thing that brings to ordinary people is fear. But most young people still have admiration in the eyes, especially in the eyes of those children, they regard Zhong Yang as a great hero.

Zhong Yang was not dissatisfied with the villagers' strange expressions and gazes. He just kept being kind and smiled at everyone. Zhong Yang believed that these villagers would always accept him over time. Now they are not familiar with Zhong Yang's character and character, so they seem to be a little recognizable as they are now.

The gangster's corpse was quickly dealt with, once again reflecting the strong nerve lines of the people of this era. When transporting the corpse, it seemed so calm, at least much better than Yi Zhongming, who looked nervous.

A few days later, what happened in the village soon spread. Because there was no victim reporting the case, the police station was too lazy to meddle in other people's business. Death was just a small matter in this time and space, and it was not even as important as the mayor of Guangzhou's ninth room where his concubine lost a poodle.

It is even more impossible for Brother Pao to seek help from the police station. If they do that, they will become the laughing stock of the entire gang world. Don’t even think about raising your head again in the future.

Zhong Yang, one of the protagonists of this incident, also quickly became a master of national martial arts in the rumors. In the eyes of these villagers, he could kill so many fierce bandits with bare hands, but he was not a master of national martial arts!

It is precisely because of the rumor that Zhong Yang's background cannot be understood clearly, so the gang dare not take any action for the time being. They are planning to investigate Zhong Yang. If the other party does not have any background in power, their boss will decide to bring the gang members to get back "justice" for Guangzhou Pao and other people. As for how much their "justice" is worth, it will be time to see how everyone feels.

However, no matter what they wanted, Zhong Yang himself did not plan to let them go. When the matter here was finished, he would go to the other party to settle the matter.

The restoration of the ancestral hall was slightly slowed down because of the few manpowers. Fortunately, there was nothing to continue to be repaired. In this way, a small reading and literacy training class in the village officially opened. The first phase of the students were 28 children, and under Zhong Yang's strong suggestion, the girls also gained the right to enroll.

There are only two teachers now, one is Zhong Yang, who is responsible for teaching children to read, and the other is Yi Zhongming, who is responsible for some popular science enlightenment knowledge education. Although Zhong Yang is not an atheist, he also agrees with the idea of ​​investigating things and learning. Believing in ghosts and gods is not necessarily feudal superstition, but without popular science knowledge, it is easy to become ignorant. Zhong Yang wants to change this situation.

Although he has no good impression of the current cynicism, in order for the children to read good books, Zhong Yang still asked Liu Jinyang to go to Guangzhou to find a qualified teacher. Zhong Yang's own traditional Chinese character level is really a bit misleading. Moreover, the essence of Confucianism is still very good. Unfortunately, most of the descendants of later generations are unworthy and insulted this science.

Zhong Yang was determined to retain the spark for ancient culture, so he naturally needed to discover talents with expertise in this area. And just today, Liu Jinyang, who was responsible for contacting the Revolutionary Party headquarters in Guangzhou, came back with the news.

As soon as Liu Jinyang walked into the house, he saw Zhong Yang who was still reviewing the textbook. Liu Jinyang was surprised because he didn't know that Zhong Yang also liked ancient Chinese. He asked with confusion: "Zhong Yang, why do you think that the "Three Character Classic" is coming?"

Zhong Yang replied helplessly with a wry smile: "Do you think I am willing? Isn't this going to teach the children to read? If I don't know at that time, it would be so embarrassing."

When Liu Jinyang heard Zhong Yang’s complaint, he was also happy: “Haha, too.”

While joking with Liu Jinyang, Zhong Yang did not forget to mention the important matter: "Jinyang, are you doing something with great insight?"

When Liu Jinyang heard about this, a smile appeared on his face. He said, "It is natural that I can do it myself. The activities of the revolutionary party are open here, and many of the members of the organization are local gang brothers and merchants. Some chambers of commerce and even the revolutionary party are supporting them."

"So, the revolutionary party is not as weak and incompetent as it has been in history." Zhong Yang still trusts the information provided by Liu Jinyang.

"I don't know anything else, but the revolutionary party has no shortage of anything except the army it has formed itself. Funds, people's expectations, and friendship with foreign powers are all stronger than warlords. It's just that they lack their own armed forces."

After hearing Liu Jinyang's answers, Zhong Yang roughly understood the specific situation in Guangzhou. No wonder the revolutionary party was able to raise its own armed forces so quickly in history. It turned out that its original foundation was very strong, but Sun Dapao had not paid attention to military issues before.

Although the actual control of Guangzhou City is still in the hands of the Guangxi warlords such as Mo Rongxin, they are not a monolithic person. The relationship between the warlords and the revolutionary party is complicated, and the flow of people is even more chaotic. No wonder the warlords here can tolerate the establishment and growth of the revolutionary party. They were in the beginning a relationship where you have me and I have you. The subsequent differentiation was probably caused by the differences in the goals of the revolutionary road.

But no matter who is stronger or weaker now, Zhong Yang must have chosen to support the revolutionary party. After all, they have more potential to grow. There is no future to be with the warlords, and history has long proved this to Zhong Yang. Zhong Yang's purpose is to be a big businessman, and he did not think about becoming a warlord himself, so he planned to hug the revolutionary party first and take the ride-sharing of the Northern Expedition.

Two more days later, Liu Jinyang found an old man from the city who had originally made a living by writing letters on behalf of others to teach. He promised to pay a monthly salary of 20 silver dollars, and the other party immediately said that he could come over and start working immediately. In this way, Zhong Yang finally retired from the position of kindergarten teacher and entrusted this meaningful task to a professional who had many years of experience in writing traditional Chinese characters.

"Jinyang, please clean up. Let's go to Guangzhou City later and report to the revolutionary party headquarters." Zhong Yang looked in the mirror in the living area of ​​the smart factory and said to Liu Jinyang beside him.

There was nothing particularly important to deal with today, so Liu Jinyang agreed to Zhong Yang's request: "Okay, I understand."

The two of them walked out of the house in suits, and their neat and shiny clothes were envied by the villagers in the village. After all, the fabrics and styles were not affordable to these honest fishermen. But Zhong Yang still felt no pride. He was just worried about the numb expressions and poor life of these villagers.

Because Zhong Yang refused to make a ox cart or ride a donkey, he had to walk to Guangzhou City with his feet. The mountain roads in this time and space are not easy to walk. The Guangzhou area is still a plain, but the bumpy roads are combined with weeds and bushes, which is really not convenient for transportation. Zhong Yang already has plans to build roads, and even the gravel roads are much better than the current situation!

However, Zhong Yang had not planned to build a high-standard cement road. The very convenient transportation not only meant rapid economic development, but also meant that the city's dominance over this place was strengthened. Before he became stronger, Zhong Yang did not want to directly confront the warlords so early, causing unnecessary conflicts and losses.

Today, Zhong Yang's main purpose is to apply to join the Revolutionary Party. With Zhang Yinyin's introduction letter, although this matter is not sure, it is at least very likely to succeed. At this time, the Revolutionary Party is still willing to accept some knowledgeable and knowledgeable young people, not to mention that Zhong Yang is a kind of person with small assets.

After coming to this time and space, Zhong Yang only recently learned about the specific information. For example, the Chinese Revolutionary Party, its headquarters was established in Tokyo, and Sun Dapao was elected as prime minister. Its branches totaled 57, most of which were built in overseas ports, and only 18 provinces in China. Its branches were all overseas. The total number of party members was more than 10,000. The Chinese Revolutionary Party aimed at realizing civil rights and people's livelihoodism, and aimed at overthrowing the Beiyang warlords' government and building the complete Republic of China.

In the autumn of 1913, Sun Yat-sen was determined to create a strong-organized "Chinese Revolutionary Party". Based on his understanding of the failure of previous revolutions, Sun Yat-sen particularly emphasized the condition of "obeying the party leader". The new party he expected, whoever joined the party, would "have to ask himself that he would be willing to obey Wen, and he would have no doubts before he could do so."

Sun Yat-sen strictly followed the procedures for joining the Party, drafted the Constitution and oath of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, and decided that party members must stamp the middle finger of their right hand under the signature of the oath of the covenant. The contents of the oath include five items: one, implement the purpose; two, obey orders; three, fulfill their duties; four, strictly keep secrets; five, swear to live and die together. In addition, there is another sentence: Keep this promise forever until death, and if you have a second heart, you will be willing to be punished.

In other words, if Zhong Yang wants to join the Chinese Revolutionary Party, he not only has to swear, but also put his handprints, which makes him like he is punished and confessed in the police station. Who would like him? Zhong Yang once again sneered at Sun Dapao's actions.

But no matter how reluctant Zhong Yang is, it is fine. If you want to join the Chinese Revolutionary Party and hold on, you must do these things. Under the leadership of Liu Jinyang, Zhong Yang came to the destination of this trip - the headquarters of the Chinese Revolutionary Party in China.

That's right, the one in Tokyo is the headquarters, and the one in Guangzhou is only the headquarters in China, and the level is higher than the former. It is not difficult to see from here that the Chinese Revolutionary Party formed by Sun Dapao has such a deep entanglement between the Chinese Revolutionary Party and Japan.

The person responsible for receiving Zhong Yang was a middle-aged man named Ye Xiasheng. He looked in his thirties and was wearing a yellow-brown Zhongshan suit. He was very capable and calm.

Just as Zhong Yang was observing the other party silently, Ye Xiasheng also observed the young man in front of him who was introduced by the person. Both sides were relatively direct people, so they did not beat around the bush, but talked directly about the serious matter.

After some conversation and observation, both sides left a relatively good impression of each other. Although there are still questions about Zhong Yang's identity and history, the revolutionary party at this time was not yet able to be picky. Ye Xiasheng came this time just to do some basic investigations of Zhong Yang.

Through exchanges, Zhong Yang also learned that the person in front of him was not simple. Ye Xiasheng has served as the Senate of the Guangdong Governor's Office, Director of the Education Department, Director of the Judicial Department, and Secretary of the Presidential Office of the Nanjing Provisional Government. In 1913, he was elected as a member of the House of Representatives. After the failure of the Second Revolution, he followed Sun Dapao to exile in Japan. He joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party in Japan in 1914. Since September 1917, he has served as the Secretary of the Guangzhou Marshal's Office and the acting deputy director of the Ministry of the Interior of the Guangdong Military Government. He is considered a loyal member of Sun Dapao.

Ye Xiasheng is definitely not a small character, but as Sun Dapao's confidant, he did not follow him to Shanghai, which is a bit inquisitive. However, Zhong Yang was too lazy to pay attention to such matters, but only focused on joining the party.

"Mr. Zhong Yang, we still have doubts about your identity. But our party is very happy about your patriotic enthusiasm and revolutionary belief. If you agree to the above terms, sign and seal it." Ye Xiasheng did not say nonsense and directly agreed to Zhong Yang's application for joining the party. After all, the things to be investigated have long been investigated, which can be confirmed that Zhong Yang is not a figure of hostile political forces.

"Okay, I agree." He signed his name in the application for joining the party, read out the Party Constitution and oath under the guidance of Ye Xiasheng, and pressed the handprint. Zhong Yang finally completed the party joining ceremony of the Chinese Revolutionary Party and became a member of the organization.
