However, Xu Xilin's ideological understanding of the forces of the Socialist Party surpassed that of other revolutionaries of his time. In the process of contacting the Hui people's Party, he keenly realized: "Zhejiang Hui people's Party has little knowledge, and it can't be used unless it is tutored and supplemented by the art of war." [4] How to turn this undisciplined and undisciplined force into a disciplined force willing to fight for peace? Xu Xilin came up with a way to run a "armament school" to train the backbone of the Party. On September 22nd, 1905, Datong School was established in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. This is a revolutionary pioneering work, and it is also the first school in China founded by revolutionaries to train the backbone of the Party. "Secret societies in all provinces in China can receive formal military education, and the cover will start from now on." The establishment of Datong School changed the way that the development strength of Guangfu Association depended on the establishment of guild halls before, so the Zhejiang-Anhui Uprising had its own base and base camp, "Datong School became the cradle of Cao Ze's heroes". Xu Xilin and Tao also worked out the party's articles of association, stipulating: "All graduates from our school will be managed by the administrative staff of our school, and our students will become friends of the Guangfu Association." [5] Due to Xu Xilin's efforts, "the power of the headquarters of the Guangfu Association has also moved from Shanghai to Shaoxing." [6] Xu Xilin also became one of the most important leaders of China Guangfu Association.
With the progress of the revolution, Xu Xilin thought that "it is better to start from the official career, because the land is too small." He hoped that the new army compiled in the "New Deal" of the Qing government could serve as a new relying force for the revolution. "If you want the revolution to succeed, you can't achieve your goal unless you have an army." After the plan of "donating loyalists and seeking military power" was blocked, Xu Xilin planned to enter the officialdom by "replacing police power with army schools and military and political commanders". The reason is:
(1) Xu Xilin has a cousin, Lian San, who is an important official of the Qing court. He used to be the governor of Hunan, studied politics in Hubei, and was inextricably linked with the Qing government. Xu Xilin, the former governor's representative, sent a letter to Shoushan, the governor of Zhejiang Province in Qing Dynasty, asking him to promote Xu Xilin and others to enter the Japanese army school. Later, Xu and others were blocked from entering Zhenwu School in Japan. Yu immediately called Zhang Zengyi, the new governor of Zhejiang Province, and asked him to cable Lu Daxie, the ambassador to Japan, "Please send it as soon as possible." Xu Xilin seeks the officialdom. Yu also communicated with Zhang Zhidong, governor of Huguang, for Xu, and sought a letter of introduction from Zhang Zhidong, governor of Zhili, to handle Xu's appointment as an official. The most important thing is that when Xu Xilin entered Anqing, he was not reused by the Governor Enming. It was Yu who used Enming to have a teacher-student relationship with him. Enming changed Enming's mind because of Shoushan's brother-in-law's background. Because of this relationship, Xu Xilin was like a duck to water in Anqing officialdom and promoted quickly; This kind of interpersonal relationship was unexpected by other revolutionaries.
(2) Judging from the personality characteristics of other leaders of the Guangfu Association, Cai Yuanpei, the president of the Guangfu Association, is "lack of strategy, studious and impatient with personnel troubles." Later, he joined the league and went away to Japan and Germany, and no longer asked about the specific meeting of the Guangfu Association. Tao, on the other hand, has lived overseas for a long time, and his sexual pattern is narrow, and he can't hold people and lacks great demeanor. Qiu Jin, on the other hand, is a woman who is hard to surrender and even harder to enter the officialdom. Xu Xilin is cautious, agile, witty and persistent. In times of crisis, he can be humble, and "far-sighted, enthusiastic about public welfare, obedient to others, and treat friends like family" [7], which is one of the necessary qualities to go deep into the lion's den. "
(3) Xu Xilin was included in the "vice list" after having obtained the provincial examination, which is called "vice promotion" and commonly known as "everyone is a juror". This kind of imperial fame is also necessary for entering the officialdom. "Beggars have strict restrictions on donations. Anyone who donates to a magistrate or even a Taoist must be from a martial arts background." 8. The Zhejiang-Anhui Uprising was different from the contemporary revolutionary uprisings, and it was a joint uprising of the two provinces. Xu Xilin made a lot of preparations for the smooth progress of the Zhejiang-Anhui Uprising.
(1) Establish a leadership mechanism with Zhejiang as the main body, Qiu Jin as the head, Anhui as the supplement, and Xu as the head. 1907 March, Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin met in Anqing. The meeting made a decision on the joint uprising of Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. After Qiu Jin returned to Zhejiang, he decided to organize social organizations in Zhejiang and set up the "Recovery Army". Qiu Jin established the organizational system and division of leadership of the "Recovery Army"; It was agreed that Zhejiang would launch the uprising first, and after the successful Anqing uprising, Nanjing would be captured. Later, in Qiu Jin's plan to "recover the army", Xu Xilin was promoted to "leader"; The contact place of the uprising was the Zhejiang Guild Hall in Shanghai, and Chen Boping and Ma were the contacts of the two provinces' joint uprising.
(2) To draw up the announcement of the Guangfu Army and the Five Killings Law. At the toe of the notice of the Guangfu Army, Xu wrote: "I embrace public indignation, the teacher of the uprising, and my compatriots, * * * to revive the old business, swear to get rid of the evil spirit, rebuild the new country, and make a * * * map to repay the old enmity." [9] shows the yearning for * * * and. Xu also carefully negotiated with Chen Boping and Ma the specific operational deployment and riot code of the uprising. It is planned to occupy Fufu and Anqing ordnance first.
So, after reading this photo.
(3) Rush to attack and die generously. The Zhejiang-Anhui uprising ended with Xu Xilin's successful assassination of Enming, the governor of the Qing court, and the uprising was finally suppressed.
Historians have different views on this uprising. And Hu thought the uprising was "like a child's play". [10] Some people think, "I don't understand how I can do such a big thing with only two assistants and no foreign aid." [1 1] Actually, I think these comments are inappropriate. If we evaluate this vigorous uprising from the objective reality at that time, we can't correctly judge the Zhejiang-Anhui uprising. Under the background that the accident had been leaked at that time, Xu Xilin actually had only two ways to go: First, he chose to give up all his previous efforts, and his previous efforts went up in smoke. This is intolerable by Xu's character. Before going to Anqing, the martyr once said to his comrades-in-arms: "The French Revolution began in 80 years, during which I don't know how much blood was shed. In the early days of the revolution, China should also shed blood to water the flowers of the revolution. I went to Anhui this time to prepare for bloodshed. You must not think it is miserable and have the idea of retreating! " This fearless and dedicated spirit is still admired by future generations. The second is to face difficulties and fight to the death. As the most outstanding revolutionary at that time, Xu knew that he was outnumbered. However, in order to keep the agreed time of the July 6th Uprising, he had to decide to attack on time. As Tao said afterwards: "The failure of martyrs' achievements is not a crime of war." In this dilemma, Xu finally chose the latter, and his tragic ending left a sigh for future generations: "He died after failing to conquer, and the hero wept in his clothes."
