After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Sun Yat-sen appointed the Japanese righteous Miyazaki Yinzang to receive Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao to Japan respectively.
When he arrived in Tokyo, Sun Yat-sen was very eager to meet Kang Shengren. Kang Youwei said: "I am deeply influenced by the great kindness and virtue of Emperor Guangxu, and it is inconvenient to meet revolutionaries." Just let his proud disciple Liang Qichao and Sun Yat-sen meet. Chatted happily twice until dawn. Sun Yat-sen deeply felt that Liang Qichao was still an easy-going person. But Sun still won't give up. After all, Kang Youwei is more famous than Liang Qichao.
A few days later, Sun Yat-sen sent Chen Shaobai to visit Kang Youwei with Hirayama Zhou. This time, Kang Youwei couldn't get away and had to meet him. The revolutionaries came straight to the point and invited Kang Shengren to participate in revolutionary activities, overthrowing the Manchu dynasty in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Kang Youwei said:
"Today, there will be a day of restoration. I feel deeply indebted, and I will never forget it. Only by getting up and working hard can I get rid of the imprisonment of Yingtai. I don't know anything else, only winter and autumn and summer. "
And hinted that revolutionaries, he has the "imperial edict" of Emperor Guangxu. And tell everyone that Emperor Guangxu is still a good monarch, and everyone should strive to reach Empress Dowager Cixi and save the emperor.
Kang Youwei's so-called "imperial edict" is just the product of reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Afraid of trouble, the Japanese government gave Kang Youwei 9000 yen to leave Japan. Kang Youwei had no choice but to travel to many places. Finally, he settled in Singapore and lived in the home of Yuan Qiu, a patriotic overseas Chinese.
Liang Qichao's Anti-customer Orientation
Kang Youwei left, Liang Qichao stayed and was willing to join the revolutionary party. Kang Youwei in Singapore was very angry and didn't want Liang Qichao to pester them. He was ordered to leave Japan by remote control. Liang had no choice but to go to Honolulu by boat. When he left, Sun Yat-sen wrote a letter of introduction to Liang, asking him to make friends with Hui revolutionary comrades.
Liang arrived in Honolulu by plane on February 30, 2005 and was warmly welcomed by his friends. With a golden mouth, he deceived a large part of the Hui people in Zhong Xing into royalists, saying that "they are called royalists, but they are actually revolutionaries". And received hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, openly recruiting soldiers "diligent king."
Kang Youwei of Singapore is also actively raising funds and raising huge sums of money.
The tragedy of a self-reliant society
On the mainland, another disciple of Kang, Tang Yongnian, got the cooperation of the revolutionary Bi Yongnian, and founded the "Yishe Society" in Shanghai on 1900, and later renamed it "Zili Society". The manifesto of the independent society has two colors: "full of people" and "protecting the emperor" Not only did they lambaste those who supported the Qing Dynasty for "being slaves with their heads down", but they also shouted "How can the righteousness of monarch and minister be abolished!" . There are many people coming later, and there are already plans for an uprising.
However, after all, the uprising plan has been postponed constantly, and I am willing to have no money. The deeper reason: Kang Liang can't remit money as scheduled.
The reason is simple: Kang Youwei keeps the money for himself! !
Finally, the uprising plan leaked out. On July 27th, Tang and Lin Gui were arrested in Hankou and executed by the Qing court.
Before the uprising, Miyazaki Yinzang was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to bring 30,000 Hong Kong dollars to Singapore to persuade Kang Youwei to cooperate with Sun Yat-sen; Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Singapore, Kang Youwei accused him of being an assassin, informed the local British government and arrested him. Fortunately, the local government only repatriated the righteous Japanese, otherwise Kang Youwei's sin in history would be even greater.
Why are the famous Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao in history compared with Yue Buqun and Ling Huchong? Because after summing up their conduct, we will find that Kang Youwei is Yue Buqun and Liang Qichao is Ling Huchong.
