Chapter 223 Undercurrents (9

On April 29, 1908, in the living room of Anliang Hall, New York, USA, Situ Meitang was entertaining Hu Hanmin, a backbone of the Tongmenghui who came to raise funds from Singapore.

"Mr. Situ, what you mean is that you will not send capable personnel to return to China to help us hold an uprising to overthrow the Qing Dynasty?" Hu Han asked dejectedly.

"Yes." Situ Meitang replied sternly: "Mr. Hu, according to our investigation, the uprisings organized by your Tongmeng Club have been too reckless and loose, causing the elites who sent us to carry out the uprising with you to lose all their losses.

Therefore, there are many opinions within the Hongmen who questioned and opposed it. After discussion, Huang Sande and other leading Hongmen brothers decided to temporarily stop their cooperation with you Tongmenghui. However, we will still fund the activity funds you need at your discretion."

"There is no immortal," Hu Hanmin said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Situ, the uprising organized by our Tongmeng Club was carefully planned and carefully. It was only when the Qing Dynasty was too strong that it suffered repeated setbacks.

However, the uprising we organized was of far-reaching significance and had a huge impact among the people. I believe that as long as we persist in this way, we will sooner or later overthrow the Qing Dynasty's rule in one fell swoop."

"Oh," Situ Meitang sighed and said helplessly: "Mr. Hu, I really can't figure it out. Mr. Sun has always praised Hong Xiuquan. Why don't you learn from Hong Xiuquan when you Tongmenghui?

The knowledgeable people around me once pointed out that with the financial support of overseas Chinese, as long as you accumulate strength, slow down your development, and after you have strong enough strength, you can launch the Qing Dynasty in one go.

But why do you always have to revolt in a hurry, so that the pillars and elite talents of our China are exhausted in vain?”

Hu Hanmin was slightly stunned, silent for a while, and said in a solemn manner: "Mr. Situ, the wisdom of the people in China has not yet been opened. My Chinese thoughts have been suppressed and poisoned by the Qing Dynasty for a long time. Therefore, we must use blood to awaken the conscience and bloodline of the Chinese people, so that our Chinese will rise again.

Alas, my Tongmenghui is weak and it is hard to make a move. You Hongmen have many disciples, including patriots with high martial arts skills. Mr. Situ, without your help, it would be difficult for us to accomplish anything."

"The jokes were already rotten. The Chinese people hated the Qing Dynasty to the core. As long as they gave them a hope, they would attack them and completely overthrow the Qing Dynasty. There was no need for my overseas elites to go and sacrifice in vain." With a low and majestic voice, two young people around 25 years old walked in from outside.

These two people are Ma Yuanding, the captain of the special forces from Borneo, and Sun Ensheng, who is in charge of stock investment matters. The one who speaks is Ma Yuanding, who is aggressive.

Seeing that his words were refuted, Hu Hanmin's expression changed slightly, but he also knew that people who dared to speak so hard on such occasions were definitely not ordinary people.

Therefore, Hu Hanmin held back his breath, smiled awkwardly, and said in a deep voice: "I actually agree with Mr. Situ's words. We also really want to do things if we are strong. However, there are many groups in China, and everyone is holding their breath and trying to start the matter first..."

Before Hu Hanmin finished speaking, Situ Meitang and others suddenly realized. Ma Yuanding interrupted Hu Hanmin's words in anger and said angrily: "You have actually made my elites in a hurry to make a rush to do something for their own selfish interests, and all the casualties are gone. No wonder you can't accomplish anything until now."

Seeing that Situ Meitang and others showed bad looks, Hu Hanmin realized that he was careless and said the wrong thing again. He had to smile bitterly and change the subject and said, "These two brothers are very close. I wonder where they hold a position in Hongmen?"

Situ Meitang and Mr. Sun Yat-sen have a close relationship and knows Mr. Sun well. They know that Mr. Sun is not a person who attaches too much importance to utilitarianism and will never joke about the life of a patriot. Therefore, Situ Meitang decided not to make things difficult for Hu Hanmin.

Seeing that Ma Yuanding and Sun Ensheng were both calm and stiff, Situ Meitang first laughed, eased the atmosphere, and then followed Hu Hanmin's question and pointed at Ma Yuanding and said, "His name is Ma Yuanding. He is the new deputy general leader of our Hongmen, who is in charge of the actions and training of the entire Hongmen disciples."

Hu Hanmin showed a shocked expression on his face and shouted in his heart: How is this possible? The Hongmen is the most particular about talking about people, but Ma Yuanding is still so young. How did he become the leader of the Hongmen’s vice president? What is his background?

"This brother is named Sun Ensheng. He is currently the chief financial officer of our entire Hongmen, including Anliang General Hall." Situ Meitang pointed at Sun Ensheng and introduced.

After all, Hu Hanmin has seen the world. After being shocked, he quickly returned to normal. He heard that Sun Ensheng was the God of Wealth, and he has long admired him.

"Now, all the surplus funds in our Hongmen are taken by Brother Sun to invest in factories and stocks. Therefore, it is up to Brother Sun to decide how much money can be used to support the country." Situ Meitang showed a relieved smile and continued.

Hearing this, Hu Hanmin's attention to Sun Ensheng increased significantly. He stepped forward and shook hands enthusiastically with Sun Ensheng, and said sincerely: "Mr. Sun, the people in China are in dire straits. I hope you will support your domestic career more."

Sun Ensheng sat down and drank a few sips of tea, pretended to think for a while, then Zhengrong said: "Depending on our investment scale, our Hongmen can squeeze out up to ten thousand dollars a year to support the activities of Tongmenghui in China. Mr. Hu, what do you think, can you accept it?"

"Of course, Mr. Sun, thank you so much." Hu Hanmin originally thought that the Hongmen had terminated cooperation with the Tongmenghui and the funding for the Tongmenghui was greatly reduced. Unexpectedly, Sun Ensheng looked shrewd and serious and difficult to get along with, but he was so generous. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

"However, I have another requirement." Sun Ensheng said slowly: "Our money is accumulated by the vast number of overseas Chinese. Therefore, I want to send someone to supervise you so that the vast number of overseas Chinese know clearly where you use their hard-earned money."

"This?" Hu Hanmin hesitated and considered the pros and cons of the matter.

This condition means Chen Hao.

Because doing so can prevent members of the Tongmenghui from embezzling donations and spend most of their money on their careers. It can also allow the People's Liberation Army intelligence personnel to enter the Tongmenghui openly and monitor their actions and members at close range. It is the best of both worlds.

Seeing Hu Hanmin hesitating, Ma Yuanding, who was sitting beside drinking tea, said unhappily: "What? Mr. Hu seems to be unable to accept this condition. Well, I firmly disagree with donating the money we have earned for free. Since that's the case, let's give up the matter."

"No" Faced with the temptation of the strong Ma Yuanding and huge funds, Hu Hanmin finally surrendered and agreed to Sun Ensheng's conditions dejectedly.
