Inside and Outside World

"Young master, my master is here to invite you."

Yan Luo followed him to a wing room of a restaurant, and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, with sunglasses and a top hat covering his face: "Who is your Excellency?"

"My friend, it's better not to say my name. After all, I'm still on the government's wanted list." The man who looked to be in his 30s clasped his fists and said, "I heard Mr. Huang Feihong singing here. My son should be self-improvement, and I was deeply encouraged when I heard my friend singing the demon red lotus, so I invite you to meet."

After the two sat down, the man asked, "Are you a revolutionary?"

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty. Don't worry about anything. I am a revolutionary party. Unfortunately, the uprising in Guangzhou failed five years ago, so I had to flee to Japan."

Yan Luo: "Are you from Xingzhong Society?"

"Exactly. I heard your song has a sense of revolutionary fearlessness. If you want to join the Xingzhong Association, I am willing to recommend it for you."

Seeing the man staring at him with burning eyes, full of expectation, Yan Luo refused: "No need, let me tell my friend, I have already joined the Demon Red Lotus Sect."

"Heavenly Demon Red Lotus Sect? It sounds a bit like the remnants of the White Lotus Sect's rebellion."

Yan Luo smiled and said, "Isn't Xingzhong a rebel?"

"Rebellion is different from rebellion!"

The man said proudly: "We are all a group of people with aspirations and ideals. We are united because of a common goal. To overthrow the corrupt Qing court, can it be the same as peasant uprisings and religious rebellions? We are revolutionaries!"

"You are revolutionary peasants rebelling, isn't it a revolution?"

The man shook his head with a helpless expression: "My friend, I am afraid that you have almost forgotten about Chinese culture when you study abroad."

"Revolution, changing the mandate of heaven, Zhouyi has the cloud, heaven and earth are changing and four seasons are formed, Tang Wu revolution, following the sky and responding to people. Our revolutionary party overthrew the court of the Manchus and established our own country. Only then can we be called following the sky and responding to people. Even if the peasant revolution overthrows the original dynasty, it is just one dynasty replacing another, and the Chinese nation will never be able to strengthen itself."

"And the revolution must have its organization, its program, its goals."

He stained some alcohol with his hands and wrote a line on the table:

"Expel the Tartars, restore China, establish the Republic of China, and equalize land rights."

"This is the revolutionary program that I recently thought about China's future in Japan, and I summarized the revolutionary program, drive away the Tartars and foreigners who oppressed us, restore the glory of the Chinese nation, establish a people's country, finally equalize land rights, and approve national land prices, The existing land price belongs to the original owner, and the land price increased due to social progress after the revolution is owned by the state and shared by the people, so that the country will be rich and the people strong, and the families will be satisfied.”

Yan Luo: "You have a good idea, but..."

"In China's 2,000-year feudal society, every dynasty developed to the end, and the land was annexed. The rich have fields and the poor have no land. Your program, even if you establish a new country, also recognizes those local tyrants and evil gentry. How much land did they occupy? What if after the revolution, instead of rising, land prices fell?

"If the land issue is not completely resolved and the feudal landlord class is not eliminated, there will always be warlords who will jump out one by one and act as agents of comprador landlords and imperialism."

"Eliminate the landlord class?" The man took a deep breath, "Are you going to kill big households? How is it different from a riot!"

Yan Luo said with a smile: "China has become deeply poisoned, otherwise it will not be possible to completely change a new world, otherwise even if the revolution succeeds, the land will belong to the landlords, and the ideology will still be feudal. It's nothing more than a group of people holding power, and it will inevitably degenerate into an interest group that seeks 'the interests of our elites'."

"Perhaps you think you are the conscience of the nation, but in reality you are also masters who oppress the common people."

Seeing that the man's eyebrows were tightly frowned, he also wrote a line on the table: "This is the program of the Demonic Red Lotus Sect."

"Power to the people, equality, freedom, democracy?"

The man said with an ugly face: "Freedom and democracy are nothing. This is exactly what the revolutionaries of the Xingzhong Society are pursuing. But equality, power belongs to the people? Nonsense! How can people be equal? ​​Can the three religions and scholars be the same as scholars? Muddy legs Can I be the same as the revolutionaries? I am not discriminating against ordinary people, but people are different. Some people have high consciousness, some people have low consciousness, some people are advanced, and some people are behind..."

Yan Luo interjected: "Some people are rich and noble, while others are humble?"

The man shook his head: "You are deliberately confusing the truth. You know what I am talking about. There are different levels of people. Some people can govern the country, while others can only farm the land. China is not like foreign countries. The people are too Ignorant, how many people can't even read big characters, power belongs to the people, let the whole country be ruled by the people? How chaotic will this country be!"

He sighed disappointedly: "I didn't expect that you, as a civilized person who came back from overseas, would have such absurd ideas. Unfortunately, it's too much to say."

"Indeed, we are not all the way."

Yan Luo stood up: "Then I wish you all success in the future revolution."

"Wait a minute."

The man put aside his sad mood and said with a smile: "Even if we have different ideas, we are all working hard to overthrow the court. I just heard you sing the song of the demon red lotus. When a new country is established in the future, we can use this song." As the national anthem, how about it?"

"National anthem? The content of this song is different from the country you want to build."

"That's right, but you can modify the lyrics. I've already figured out that the blue sky is bright and the sun is shining, illuminating the darkness of the world. This artistic conception is very good."

"Blue sky and white sun?"

Yan Luo spread his hands: "Can the blue sky and the white sun illuminate the darkness? To be honest, I don't believe it. I'm sorry, but I can't give this song to you, because it's a song from the Red Lotus Sect."

"Forget it, there will be a period later." The man said in a dispirited manner.

"If you need a song, I happen to have one right here."

His index finger and **** curled up to beat the beat on the table, and at the same time he sang: "Down with the great powers, overthrow the great powers, get rid of the warlords, get rid of the warlords, the national revolution is successful, the national revolution is successful, let's sing together and sing together."

"What do you think of this song?"

The man was surprised: "Such a simple song?"

"The simpler it is, the easier it is to spread. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is more catchy. Once this song appears, even women and children can sing it. How beneficial is it to your revolution?"

"It's true!" The man's eyes lit up. "But the lyrics are also inappropriate. The first thing we want to overthrow is the imperial court, and the second is imperialism. And we haven't started the national revolution yet."

"Well, I accepted this song, thank you very much, just for this song, I returned from Japan incognito, it was a worthwhile trip."

The song sung by Yan Luo is called "National Revolutionary Song". It is the school song of the Whampoa Military Academy in 1927 and will also be the future national anthem of the Republic of China.

This song was very popular in the future on the original historical track. When Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan held the Central Plains War, they also changed the lyrics to "Down with Lao Jiang", and at another time it was changed to "Agrarian Revolution Song": "Down with The local tyrants overthrow the local tyrants, divide the fields and divide the fields, we will be the masters, we will be the masters, so happy, so happy."

The man is naturally very satisfied with such a song, and even feels that this song is more cordial than the previous demon red lotus!
