Years of the Republic of China 1913

No. 14 Saposai Road in the French Concession of Shanghai. This small building is the residence of Junzaburo Yamada, a Japanese expatriate, and also the secret activity base of the Revolutionary Party in Shanghai.

On this day, many guests suddenly came to the small building that used to be quiet in the past, and what was even more strange was that all of these guests had disguised themselves when they entered the door, and even wore deliberately lowered top hats, looking mysterious and mysterious.

When the last visitor entered the building, a few men dressed as gangsters outside the building quietly hid in the dark for protection, and the not-so-large living room in the small building was already full of guests, including Yuan Hujun Governor Chen Qimei, former chief of staff of the Shanghai Military Governor's Mansion Huang Yu, former commander of the 5th regiment of the Shanghai Army Jiang Zhiqing, battalion commander He Yingqin, secretary of the Revolutionary Party Prime Minister Dai Jitao, Shanghai "Republic of China News" editor Shao Yuanchong, former interim government police chief Wu Zhongxin, former Shanghai Army Corps staff Zhang Qun, Chen Guofu, etc., and the one sitting in the center is actually Sun Wen, the Prime Minister of the Revolutionary Party who was supposed to be in Japan.

In fact, when Li Liejun went to Shanghai to discuss the "Second Revolution" with Chen Qimei, he left Japan quietly and arrived in Shanghai a few days ago.Along with him were Jiang Zhiqing, Dai Jitao and others who were fleeing disaster in Japan. After arriving in Shanghai, Sun Wen and the others did not show up in public. 's arrival

Yesterday, the long-awaited good news finally came. Li Liejun’s telegram announcing the "uprising" in Jiangxi had just arrived in Shanghai. Sun Wen, who was overjoyed, hurriedly called Chen Qimei and others here to discuss the overall situation. Therefore, early this morning, the Revolutionary Party in Shanghai All the main characters are gathered here.

"Li Dudu really deserves to be a good comrade of our party. With the sound of independent gunshots in Jiangxi, all the provinces in the south of our country echoed. If you want to come, Yuan Shikai will definitely fail!" In addition to Sun Wen, Chen Qimei is the oldest and highest-ranking member among them. Li Liejun gave a big thumbs up.

"Extremely, extremely!" Shao Yuanchong was a man of pens, and immediately got up and praised Li Liejun's "loyalty" and revolutionary righteous deeds. The way for the party members to go north to seize the world is already a golden road.

With the start of Chen Qimei and Shao Yuanchong, the rest of the people are not far behind. You say what you say, and the atmosphere on the scene is extremely lively.

Jiang Zhiqing followed his eldest brother Chen Qimei and praised him, but his eyes were always stronger than others. Sun Wen, who was sitting at the top, kept silent, and hurriedly lightly touched Chen Qimei with his heel to show his strength. winked.

"Everyone! Now my revolution is not a small prospect, but a great one! However, if we want the revolution to be truly successful, our revolutionary comrades have to continue to work hard. What should we do next, and how to deal with it well, I would like to ask Sun The Prime Minister made it clear to everyone."

Hearing what Chen Qimei said, a smile finally appeared on Sun Wen's expressionless face, he sat up straight with vigor, and immediately said: "Comrades, Li Dudu's first act of charity in Jiangxi is the embodiment of our revolutionary spirit! Our revolutionary comrades should respond to each other, and jointly seek Yuan's great cause of saving the country. Beiyang Yuan Shikai stole the country and the people, kmt Song Jiaoren betrayed the revolutionary spirit, and looking at China, only our revolutionaries can take on the real task of saving the country and the people. They oppose Pai will be swept into the dustbin of history by our revolutionaries and cast aside by the people!"

There was enthusiastic applause, and everyone was so excited that they clapped their hands red. Sun Wen smiled and raised his hand to press down. When the room calmed down again, he continued: "Now that Jiangxi has declared independence, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Shanghai , Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi... These provinces will also raise troops immediately. In this way, the revolutionary spirit and power of the southeast half of our country will be bound together in a mighty, unstoppable way! It's just a dead bone in the grave, our revolutionary army's northern expedition is just around the corner, and the success of the second revolution is just around the corner!"

"Okay! Prime Minister Sun's words are good!" Huang Yu was so moved that tears filled his eyes, he wiped his tears and patted his chest and assured: "Prime Minister, please rest assured, I dare not say anything else, there are Yingshi in Shanghai and I, Huang Yu, are absolutely There is no problem! The Beiyang Shanghai Army is not enough, and the tens of thousands of children of our Youth Gang can take down the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau as long as you give the order, Prime Minister, and reproduce the great achievements of [-]!"

"Okay! Well said!" Sun Wen happily patted the armrest and stood up: "We need this kind of indomitable ambition, this is the real revolutionaries! If this is the case, the Shanghai affairs will be handed over to Shiying and Yingbai Now, my spirit of the Revolution of [-] will surely be successful!" After thinking for a while, he pointed to Jiang Zhiqing and He Yingqin and said, "Rui Yuan, Jingzhi, both of you are in the regiment and battalion positions in the former Shanghai Army, you can contact the old department immediately. , together with Shiying and Yingbai to rise up together to make revolutionary achievements!"

Immediately, Jiang Zhiqing and the others blushed and were extremely excited. They stood up and responded loudly, patting their chests to ensure that there was no problem.

"That's how we arrange things in Shanghai. How about dealing with Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong and other places?" Sun Wen nodded gratifiedly, motioned them to sit down and asked.

It was Chen Qimei who spoke first: "The governor of Anhui, Bai Wenwei, and the governor of Hunan, Tan Yankai, have been in touch with me for a long time. Bai Wenwei and Tan Yankai have agreed to follow Li Dudu to raise troops to fight against Yuan independently. As for Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, there is nothing wrong with them." The problem is that with Xu Chongzhi, Hu Hanmin, and Chen Jiongming here, if Sun Daoren, Long Jiguang, and Lu Rongting don't follow the tide of revolution, they will die without a place to die. It's just... Jiangsu... I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Sun Wen asked without changing his expression.

Chen Qimei showed indignation, gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "It's not Song Jiaoren's fault! Since he went to Beijing, he has colluded with Yuan Shikai and betrayed the revolution, and now he is the Prime Minister of the State. Now it is even more aimed at our revolution. The party, some time ago secretly sent a little bastard called Fang Zida to Nanjing. The news came from Nanjing the day before yesterday that Lin Hu's death was caused by this bastard, and even Zhu Zhuowen was killed by him. Now the Eighth Division in Nanjing is no longer under our control, and the governor of Jiangsu, Cheng De, has been taken away by him, so the land of Jiangsu has been..."

"Okay, don't say any more!" Sun Wen interrupted Chen Qimei angrily, sat there frowning and thought for a long time, then cheered up: "A mere Jiangsu, an Eighth Division is nothing to worry about, as long as we can grasp it The seven provinces of Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi are enough to bring down Yuan Shikai's Beiyang. When will it be, huh! Those who betrayed the revolution will pay a heavy price!"

"Yes! The Prime Minister is right. The revolutionary wave is mighty. Those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish. At that time, the ordinary revolutionary comrades who want to come to the Eighth Division will also wake up. Sooner or later, Jiangsu will fall into the ranks of our revolutionary army. hands." Shao Yuan was in high spirits, stroked his palms and laughed, shook his head and recited poems in public: "The great river goes east, the waves are washed away, and the ancient romantic figures are on the west side of the old base...Majestic and heroic, feather fans and towels, talking and laughing, the strong captives are wiped out ...."

Following Shao Yuanchong's poems, the smile on Sun Wen's face became brighter and brighter, as if he had seen his feather fan, scarf, talking and laughing, the moment when the rape was wiped out.

In the afternoon, after Chen Qimei and others left, they immediately split up and acted separately. In the evening, the Shanghai Discussion Yuan Army was formally established. All important positions.At the same time, Chen Qimei also announced that she would be the governor of the New Shanghai Army, and called three thousand youth gang members to form three regiments to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

Chen Qimei's plan was right. In fact, his move was exactly the same as that of the [-] Revolution. He first occupied the manufacturing bureau and seized armaments, and then relied on these armaments to vigorously develop the troops, thereby seizing the whole of Shanghai.

At ten o'clock that night, Chen Qimei officially raised troops to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Holding firearms of different lengths in their hands, and some even carrying bright knives and axes, a large number of gang members began to attack in a mighty manner.All of a sudden, the shouts and killings around the Manufacturing Bureau were loud, and the gunfire was continuous. The garrison stationed in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was unprepared and was caught off guard. They left dozens of corpses and retreated in embarrassment. , Chen Qimei was very excited, and ordered to step up the attack one after another, striving to win the manufacturing situation before dawn.

"What did you say?" At five o'clock in the morning, Chen Qimei's troops had already reached a distance of more than ten meters from the gate of the manufacturing bureau two hours ago. Did not attack, but suffered heavy casualties.

"Captain! Brothers really can't fight down, the firepower of the bastards on the opposite side is too fierce, we'd better retreat first." The small leader of the Qing Gang with his hat on one side and a short gun in his hand was covered in black Hui, even lost one of his shoes, these gangsters are all veterans of the knife point, but who has seen such a big scene?What kind of arrogance, murderousness, and skill are all fucking fake in front of the machine gun, and the shuttle sweeps across it, even the most capable safflower double stick is covered in blood holes.

Chen Qimei's plan was not wrong, but he did not consider one aspect. Back then, he was facing the corrupt Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now his opponent was a whole regiment of regular troops stationed in Shanghai by the Jiangsu Governor's Mansion.Although he was caught off guard at first, after he reacted, these three thousand mobs were far from being the opponents of the regular army. What's more, there was a manufacturing bureau behind the opponent, and there were plenty of guns and ammunition inside. , how can these gang members do it?

"Withdraw? Can't withdraw!" In the firelight, Chen Qimei's face behind the glasses was severely deformed, and he roared fiercely: "Whoever dares to say withdraw again, I will not be polite!"

"Captain, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood... Ah!" The little boss wanted to persuade him again, but who would have thought that Chen Qimei would suddenly stare, pull out a sharp samurai sword and chop off his head, with a headless body The blood spattered all over him, and under the light of the fire, Chen Qimei looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

"Whoever dares to take another half step back, he will end!" With a hoarse voice, Chen Qimei yelled viciously, causing the faces of the people around him to turn pale and back away again and again. Lifting the knife, he waved towards the direction of the manufacturing bureau and shouted: "Brothers! Let me continue to attack the governor! Attack! The first official who invades the manufacturing bureau will be promoted to three levels, and I will reward Yingyang with five thousand! Kill! Kill me!"
