Chapter 103: The Eve of the Great Change

In May, the Manchu Qing ** set up a responsible cabinet, only three of the thirteen ministers were Han Chinese, one was a Mongolian bannerman, the remaining eight were all Manchus, and the imperial family also accounted for five people, which was ridiculed by the group as the imperial cabinet, and the cabinet became an extension of the monarchy's power, and the constitutionalists were completely dead to the Manchu court.

On May 9, the Manchu Qing Dynasty announced the nationalization of the main railway line, which aroused a wave of national anger, and a vigorous road protection movement broke out throughout the country, and more than 10,000 people gathered in Changsha.

Various political movements throughout the country have also greatly affected industrial production and commercial circulation, Zhenhua is okay, the Harbin market has digested most of the industrial products, while other businesses are not so lucky, a large number of factories have no orders, workers are unemployed, and Western countries have begun to take the opportunity to dump goods at low prices, giving a fatal blow to the weak Chinese industry.

Countless unemployed people took to the streets, people who could not eat began to steal, the market became more and more chaotic, and students went on strike to participate in demonstrations and demonstrations in three days under the influence of various ideological trends.

Although the influence of Pudong Zhenhua is not as great as that of Puxi, all kinds of vicious incidents are also increasing, and most of the unemployed workers flock to Pudong, which is relatively stable, but how can Zhenhua digest so many unemployed people.

Passenger ships to Nanyang and Harbin are in short supply, there are a large number of unemployed people waiting there every day, looking forward to buying tickets to make a living in Nanyang, even the cargo ships to Nanyang are also crowded, I don't know how many people will die in the sea, a large amount of domestic capital has also begun to flee, or to Japan Nanyang, or to Europe and the United States, whenever a disaster occurs, the most injured are always the people at the bottom.

Zhenhua also published a recruitment notice in the newspaper, transporting a shipload of unemployed skilled workers to Harbin, while Nanyang received everyone, and Zhenhua's shipping company was also running at full capacity.

The strength of the escort team was no longer enough to maintain the peace in Pudong, Chen Xuan had to expand the size of the escort team, and most of the cadets who studied military affairs in Chuansha also had to graduate early to join the escort team.

Chen Xuan now has no time to participate in the work of Zhenhua Group, and the high-level of Fuxing D has also gathered together, reading and analyzing all kinds of news from all over the country every day and making reactions, the duration of the meeting is shorter and shorter, and various orders are distributed to all parts of the country.

Song Jiaoren returned to Shanghai in July and organized the Central General Association of the China League with Chen Qimei, Tan Renfeng and others, and kept promoting his political ideas in the newspapers.

A large number of officials and relatives poured into Shanghai, and the housing and land prices in various concessions also rose, and a huge amount of wealth was gathered in the Shanghai concession, and the foreign devils couldn't stop laughing every day.

And Zhenhua's Pudong has also become the first choice of wealthy businessmen who pour into Shanghai, because they have a cooperative relationship with Zhenhua or see that Pudong is basically the calmest place in Shanghai except for the concession, and Zhenhua has also made a lot of money that Chen Xuan does not want to make, and no one can calculate how much damage this false prosperity has done to the Chinese economy.

Zhenhua's military factory in Chuansha began to increase the large-scale production of firearms, and the Jianyuan type that had been developed before was too high in technology and material, and the life was too short, so after the production of the part, he focused on the rifle and Makqin, and the mortar designed by Chen Xuan was also produced, and now Zhenhua's arsenal has been filled with all kinds of weapons that can arm two divisions.

As for the cannons, they have been produced in Nanyang, and the military factory in Harbin is only in trial production now, and it has not yet formed a scale.

The only thing that pleased Chen Xuan was that Nanyang had achieved great success in Tuntian in the past two years, and after a boatload of people was transported to Nanyang, what was brought back was arms and grain, and Zhenhua's large reserve warehouse in Chuansha was also filled one by one, and it was really impossible to load it and shipped it to Harbin.

According to the news brought by the Harbin Aircraft Factory, great achievements have been made in the past six months, the test flight of the 'Snow Falcon' aircraft designed by Feng Ru has been completed, and the maximum flight altitude can reach 6000 meters, the maximum flight range can reach 500 kilometers, and other parameters are also at the forefront of the world.

That is to say, under theoretical conditions, the 'Snow Falcon' can carry out reconnaissance work within a radius of 250 kilometers from the airport, and Feng Ru's team is studying the loading of the aircraft with heavy machine guns, and the gun parameters have also been sent to the Zhenhua Machinery Research Center for design and production here.

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with the performance of the 'Snow Falcon', and immediately ordered 50 planes, 10 of which were used to train pilots, and 40 of which were used in the army.

On 7 September, Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Chengdu, opened a large-scale killing campaign against the petitioning Baolu Comrades Association, which aroused the indignation of the people throughout the country.

On September 25, Wu Yuzhang, Long Mingjian, and Wang Tianjie organized an armed uprising against the Qing Dynasty, established the Rong County Army, and declared the independence of Rong County.

The revolutionary armed uprisings supported by the League and various political groups broke out one after another, and the high-level leaders of Fuxing D could not sit still.

"Yiyang, now that the anti-Qing armed uprisings of various social groups across the country are blooming in all directions, should we also respond to the revival of D."

The speaker was Huang Kan, who is now in charge of the Revival D Propaganda Department.

"I know all this, but it's not yet time, it's not yet ripe to start an uprising, and blind impulsiveness now will only bring us unnecessary losses, and it's not a good thing for us to make a name for ourselves so early."

"You keep saying that it's not the time, then when is it time to be mature, and now there are a lot of dissatisfied voices in the party, saying that we revive d high-level greed to death, Yiyang, it's not me who said, we all know that the time is not ripe for an uprising now, but we must have our own voice in the wave of this era, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out work in the future!"

"Are you saying that we will pay the price of our comrades with their lives even if we know that we will fail!?"

Chen Xuan was a little angry, and Huang Kan was about to speak, but was snatched by Yu Youren.

"Yes! We all know that the time is not ripe, but we have to act, we also know that there will be sacrifices, but we have to do it, and now because we have no instructions from our headquarters, many party members have broken away and gone to participate in the uprising organized by others. ”

Chen Xuan was silent, he knew that the opinions of the high-level people of Fuxing D were correct, and it can be seen from the fact that the number of party members of Fuxing D has been decreasing since the beginning of this year, and Fuxing D has almost no influence in China, and the high-level knows that Harbin and Nanyang Zhenhua are actually the territory of Fuxing D, but the party members below do not know, and the people do not know, and the reputation of the Baxing Party is impossible to talk about.

Without fame, the Fuxing D command is drowned in the tide of this era, and it can't even stir up a splash, even if Fuxing D has actually taken root in Harbin now, but it can only be a stepping stone of the times.

But let Chen Xuan send his comrades to die in vain, such an order could not be given, and a quarrel began in the conference room, Chen Xuan found out that Zhang Jingyun and others did not support him this time, and Zhao Xuechu did not say a word, in fact, this was already obvious that he did not support himself.

In the end, he could only vote to solve it, Chen Xuan reported his thoughts to the party committee in detail, analyzed the situation at home and abroad, and even revealed some historical trends, but after voting, Chen Xuan still failed miserably.

The final decision of the Party Committee was that Fuxing D would launch an armed uprising against the Qing Dynasty in October in Hangzhou on October 15.

In fact, Chen Xuan didn't want Fuxing D to expose his strength so early, in his plan, Fuxing D should first rely on the banner of the Alliance to develop gradually, and only start competing for others after Fuxing's strength grows.

Knowing that history is Chen Xuan's advantage, but also Chen Xuan's disadvantage, he knows that the Manchurian army is not so easy to defeat, and the revolutionary party is not ready to take over the state power, this vigorous revolutionary action will only cheapen the domestic powerful tycoon such as Yuan Shikai in the end.

As for the freedom, democracy, prosperity, and independence of state power that the revolutionary party aspires to, it is just a flower in the mirror, and the idealists are not wrong, but it is really not ordinary for the idealists to gain a foothold in this complicated international situation.

However, since the decision was made, Chen Xuan had to accept it, the political machine of Fuxing D was running at full strength for the first time, and the mobilization order was issued at the first time, Chen Xuan began to mobilize all available resources, and Jiang Fangzhen's cadets had begun to gradually infiltrate Hangzhou.

Jiang Fangzhen's students scattered to various places in Hangzhou under various names, either recruiting workers, or recruiting bandits, or recruiting merchant group guards, etc., to expand the ranks in various forms, Du Yuesheng's archives bureau was also moved, and the revival DDs distributed in the New Army had also received notices from the party headquarters one after another.

A large number of reports of various forces in Hangzhou were turned out for study and discussion, plans were made one after another, orders were sent out in the form of secret words, and a large number of arms were also launched and shipped to Hangzhou.

Chen Xuan arranged his pregnant wife Xu Ruohan back to Chuansha and followed him to Hangzhou.
