Chapter 12 The Assassination of Duke Tao
Seeing his reaction violently, Qin Hancheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Third brother, are you really getting married? Why didn't you say anything about it when my father asked you the day before yesterday?"
Qin Hanxu's expression changed slightly, hesitated, and saw that there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said, "I met a girl in Japan named 'Heiko'. She has lived together for three years and cannot be considered a formal marriage."
Qin Hancheng frowned and said, "Is it an Easterner?"
"Yes. So I dare not bring it back, for fear that my father will be angry."
"Oh, the fire cannot be covered in paper! What do you want to do?"
"What else can I do? Let's talk about it first."
"That woman is still in Japan?"
"No, she is here in Demon City and lives in Hongkou District for the time being."
Qin Hancheng smacked his lips and frowned, feeling that this was difficult to deal with.
Although there was a Sino-Japanese War between China and Japan at this time, the relationship was not as bad as it did later.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan has become an industrial country, while China is still an agricultural country. Japan is advanced than China, and China regards itself as a country of heaven. Both sides think that they are superior and look down on people from each other's countries.
If Qin Hanxu told the truth, the old man Qin Zhaoji would probably feel uncomfortable and would definitely not agree at the beginning.
Qin Di couldn't help but think: "It's over, my third uncle will have a hard time in the future! Can he put his position in the right place between national hatred and family? Will he not be a traitor with Wang Zhaoming, right?"
Qin Di himself did not mind the origin of Aunt San. The Japanese were good and bad, and some supported China-Japan friendship. If we look at the long history, the integration of various ethnic groups is a major trend.
Of course, the twisted human nature during the war also made people feel gritted their teeth.
Because the Xinhai Revolution had already been victorious, Qin Hanxu had no plans to leave again when he came back this time.
In addition to Wuchang and Jinling, the Demon City is also a territory occupied by revolutionaries, and Sun Yat-sen and Song Jiaoren often appear here.
In 1912, Sun Yat-sen took the oath to serve as the interim president in Jinling, and changed the country's name to "Republic of China", which became the first year of the Republic of China.
On January 14, Yuan Shikai searched for revolutionaries in the north.
On the same day, Tao Chengzhang was stabbed to death in Shanghai.
Tao Chengzhang was a major member of the Restoration Association and made significant contributions to the Xinhai Revolution. His death shocked the world.
The next day, when the news spread, the newspapers were selling crazy.
Qin Hanxu read the newspaper and was silent for a long time.
Qin Di was far away and heard him gritting his teeth and talking to himself: "If you kill me, you won't die well..." Then there was the sound of a pistol "clicking" to snatch bullets.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Hanxu walked out with a suitcase and prepared to leave the Qin family.
When he walked to the gate, he saw his nephew Qin Di standing there.
Qin Di was 12 years old at this time, almost as tall as Qin Hanxu's shoulders.
He blocked the other party's way and asked, "Uncle San, it's almost the Spring Festival. Where are you going?"
Qin Hanxu said with a stern face: "I have something to do when I go out and I'll be back in a few days."
Qin Di said: "Uncle San, don't go. Tao Chengzhang was not killed by someone from Yuan. Assassination cannot solve the problem."
Qin Hanxu was shocked suddenly: "Do you know what I want to do? The newspapers said that Tao Chengzhang's death is related to the one with the surname Yuan!"
Qin Di grabbed his suitcase and said, "The statements in the newspaper are all about catching up on the wind and shadows. There is something strange about this. Uncle San, you go to Beijing for assassination and face the heavy army protecting Yuan, which is like seeking death! If you die, where will Aunt San be placed? Where will the Qin family be placed? Aren't you afraid that Grandma will cry to death?"
Qin Hanxu grabbed his arm with his back hand and asked, "What news do you know, a child? Why is it strange to say that Tao Chengzhang's death?"
Qin Di sneered: "I know who did this, but I won't tell you the hot temper of Uncle Chong San!"
"Ah? Do you really know? How is this possible?"
"Tao Chengzhang was assassinated by Yu Guangci Hospital. The murderer was not a subordinate named Yuan or a killer of the Qing court, but a revolutionary! Uncle San, this matter is very complicated, and he is still confused at this time. In time, clues will gradually appear. After the Qing court was overthrown, there will be more and more assassination cases after entering the Republic of China. You should protect yourself."
Qin Hanxu was stunned and tried to break Qin Di's arm hard, but he didn't expect that Qin Di's arms were extremely powerful, and his hands were like pliers. He tried his best but couldn't break them!
"Huh? This is really strange! You kid have the strength to do it. Let it go quickly and let me go!"
"Uncle San, I know you are full of passion, but you have to understand that the revolution has been successful. How to divide the fruits of victory next? In order to get more personal benefits, many people will become ugly! Comrades who were originally good can also become murderers. Uncle San, don't always think about assassination. Assassination is not the solution to the problem! I will keep this box for you."
Qin Hanxu looked at Qin Di. At that moment, he felt that his nephew's figure seemed to have been much taller. Why did his words look a little similar to Mr. Song?
Song Jiaoren graduated from Japan's University of Political Science and Law. He has always attached great importance to resolving disputes through legal means. He advocated the Westernization of all Britain and the United States, the constitutional government of parliament, and the separation of powers, which is different from Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People. From 1912 to 1913, Song Jiaoren made great contributions to the Qingbai Party, became famous and very popular. If he had not been assassinated, he would have been elected as the president of the Republic of China.
Qin Hanxu calmed down and said, "Okay, let go, I won't go."
Qin Di said: "That's right. Uncle San, you have the intention to kill someone, so it's better to follow Mr. Song! Taking advantage of his prosperity, he will get a job... Otherwise, in two years, the world will be even more chaotic when the teacher dies..."
Qin Hanxu was shocked and loosened his hands, not even letting go of the suitcase: "What did you say? How could Mr. Song die? He was only 33 years old!"
Qin Di said lightly: "All ordinary people die, and Mr. Song is no exception. Didn't Mr. Tao die yesterday? He is only 34 years old!"
Qin Hanxu was confused: "You mean, someone will assassinate Mr. Song in the future?"
Qin Di said: "Uncle San, sometimes I dream of what will happen in the future. I can't explain some things in detail. If it weren't for your uncle, I wouldn't say a word."
Qin Hanxu suddenly stretched out his hands and pressed them on his shoulder: "A Di, tell me, is what I just said true? When will something happen to Mr. Song?"
Qin Di said: "Mr. Song is a big man, and life and death are destined by heaven. Uncle San, don't you want me to reveal the secrets of heaven and bear the thunder of heaven, right?"
"Nonsense! Nonsense! I have been traveling around the world for so many years, and I have never seen any strange things before? How could I be fooled by you?"
Qin Hanxu used both hands to shake the other person's shoulders. He said he didn't believe it, and his heart was already confused.
"Give me the box, I won't go to Beijing anymore! I'm going to find Mr. Song."
"Okay, come on, Uncle San, and try to get a half-office official position to protect your family's business."
Qin Hanxu said angrily: "Hmph! You bastard, you are young and have such a strong utilitarian mind! You know how to get promoted and get rich! Do you know what revolutionary sentiment is?"
Qin Di smiled slightly and handed over the suitcase: "Uncle San, you are wrong. I am a child, and I don't want to be an official or bleed. I like to be free and free. I walk to the end of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise. But you are different. You already have a wife! You also have to support the elderly, and you can't even relax!"
Qin Hanxu was so angry that he took the suitcase and walked out of the yard with big strides.
