Chapter 112: Secret Discussion in the Study

"You kid can't even trust me?"

Zhang Jian saw that Chen Xuan burned the information, and couldn't help but ask.

"Father-in-law, if you can't believe it, how can I tell you all about our whole plan, even if we are in the Baath Party, there are no more than five people who know about this plan, and now I let you see these top-secret materials, I have already seriously violated party discipline, but our Baath Party really needs a respected person like you, we suffer this time, we suffer because we don't have enough talents, otherwise with our industrial strength, we are really not afraid of his Beiyang Army!"

Chen Xuan said solemnly.

"You don't want to be emperor, do you?"

"Father-in-law, times have changed, and whoever wants to be the emperor now is simply looking for death, anyway, so far, the development goal of our revival party is all my dreams, so I sincerely invite you to join us, and we only have Mr. Zhou Shumo for people like you now, so we have to change some plans."

"Zhou Shumo? Shao Pu? He also joined you, didn't you put him together in Heilongjiang? ”

"The key is not to see what we say, but to see how we do it, Mr. Zhou is in Harbin, so he naturally sees what we are doing, so his joining is expected."

Zhang Jian was still silent, and Chen Xuan continued:

"I invite you to join is also selfish, I am also afraid that one day my ambition will swell, to think about those things that should not be thought about, I need you to be by my side to teach some lessons, if one day I lose control, please tell me what I said today."

"Good! For Xiaowei's sake, I can promise you! Remember what you said today, don't worry about it, I'll try my best to convince him, and what do you think about this official adjustment? ”

"In terms of the army and finance, our Baath Party will not let go, I am ready to let Zhao Xuechu be in charge of industry, and in terms of finance, you always recommend a capable and trustworthy person to us, and you will have to work hard in education."

"Yu Qiaqing has been running a bank for several years, and he should be good in this regard, and he has the ability, why not let him do it?"

Chen Xuan thought about it for a moment and said:

"Needless to say, this person's ability is too selfish, and I'm afraid that he will do something he shouldn't do, and everyone will be embarrassed at that time."

"You don't have to worry about this, doesn't the Baath Party have its own laws, I don't believe he dares to make trouble, and I'm in Suzhou, I can keep an eye on him at any time, and there won't be any big problems in the future."

"So ... That's all there is to it. ”

Early the next morning, the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu was also full of people, Han Xu had already visited these bigwigs last night, and also made some political compromises, coupled with the strong support of the powerful Zhang Jian, this time the establishment of the Jiangsu army ** was surprisingly smooth, and Chen Xuan also had to sigh that Han Xu helped him greatly.

The meeting ended smoothly, and the appointments of officials from all walks of life were all in place, Chen Xuan had time to talk to Zhao Xuechu, who had not seen him for more than a year, Zhao Xuechu had been busy with the affairs of Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant for more than a year, and now he finally had an eyebrow, and the steel plant was officially put into trial production.

"Ruohan gave birth to a girl for you again, Yiyang, congratulations so much, now you have both children and daughters!"

Zhao Xuechu said happily, saying that when Chen Xuan was still in Zhejiang to launch an uprising, Xu Ruohan gave birth to a girl, and Chen Xuan still failed to fulfill his promise to accompany Xu Ruohan, feeling guilty, but after the end of the Songjiang Campaign, he secretly went to Shanghai to see his wife and daughter, but he went to the front line again in less than two days.

"Didn't Ting Yi also help you give birth to a pair of twin sons, are you here to show off to me?"

Chen Xuan also laughed and joked with Zhao Xuechu.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, we all became fathers, and Jingyun's family also gave birth to a son, but Jingyun was crazy."

"You're all okay, my wife was by my side when she gave birth, I'm really sorry for Youwei and Ruohan!"

Seeing that Chen Xuan's mood was a little gloomy, Zhao Xuechu patted him on the shoulder, between men, there are some things that don't need to be said explicitly.

"How long are you going to stay in Suzhou?"

"There are too many recruits on the road this time, adding up to more than 30,000, which has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the troops, I am ready to let Qi Baicheng's first division of the Jiangsu Revolutionary Army go to take Changzhou after the reorganization, and I will go directly to Ma'anshan after training here for half a month, by the way, Brother Xuechu, you are responsible for the industrial layout in Suzhou, don't patronize the development of the military industry, and other industries can't be left behind."

"Don't worry, I have been to see the Suzhou Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and it is generally okay, as long as some machines are transferred from Shanghai, production can be resumed, and I am going to build a heavy machinery factory and artillery foundry on the saddle side, and the equipment has been negotiated with the German Krupp side, and they also agreed that our people will go over to learn cannon casting technology, so that we can learn French cannon casting technology and Krupp in Nanyang, and we can develop our artillery technology in combination."

"You can discuss these things with Jingyun, now that Zhenhua is in charge, and the bull is not small, it's time to find a family for him."

"You don't know yet, this kid is getting along with Huang Zhonghan's daughter, and now he's fighting hotly!"

"This bastard, don't tell me about such a big thing!"

"I also received Bai Xunjian's letter to know, I have entrusted Mr. Chen Jiageng to help come to the door to propose, the news has come back in the past few days, and according to Bai Xunjian, now there are more and more Chinese in Nanyang, only our Zhenhua territory has more than two million, they also use various means in Nanyang is also blooming in all directions, it is said that Xiao Chang'an is simply a copy of the ancient city of Xi'an, there is a chance to really go to see."

"How can there be so many people?"

Chen Xuan remembered that when he was in Nanyang, the towns in Phoenix City added up to only about 300,000, but he didn't expect it to increase so much at once!

"It's not caused by the domestic environment, there are people fleeing famine, hiding from war, everything, and the development over there in the past two years has been really good, the reputation has opened, and naturally there are people who go, everyone is Chinese, and they can understand what they say, it's better than going to those foreign devils in Europe and the United States! Nowadays, the Nanyang Shipyard is producing more and more ships, and I am afraid that in two years, there will be more people going to Nanyang, which can be regarded as a small goal of our Baath Party. ”

"Xun Jian and Mr. Jiageng are all good, but I am afraid that they have suffered a lot in the past few years!"

Bidding farewell to Zhao Xuechu, Chen Xuan returned to the barracks, and now there are too many recruits, Chen Xuan had to arrange for the establishment of two large camps in the north and south, Qi Baicheng's Jiangsu Revolutionary Army is stationed in the North Camp, and other troops are stationed in the South Camp.

After a day and a night of reorganization and elimination, the soldiers and horses of the two battalions have been distinguished, the Beida battalion of 15,000 people, led by Qi Baicheng after three days of training with two divisions to Changzhou, the Beida battalion of more than 20,000 people, but the majority of recruits, Chen Xuan himself led the training, planned in half a month.

Chen Xuan's large-scale military training in Suzhou, and the country's revolutionary spirit did not stop because of this.

Up to now, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Guizhou have been electrified independently.

On November 7, Guangxi declared independence, and on the same day, under the leadership of Chen Xuan, Zhejiang and Jiangsu announced the formation of a Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army, planning to attack Nanjing, Qi Baicheng raised troops to kill Changzhou, and Jiang Zhongqi's second division of the Jiangsu Revolutionary Army killed Ma'anshan in Dangtu County.

On November 8, Anhui and Guangxi declared independence.

On November 9, Han Sanlin captured Fuzhou, and Fujian declared independence.

On November 13, Shandong declared independence.

On November 18, Li Luqing, with the cooperation of the local gentry, the early scattered civil escorts and Du Yuesheng's intelligence officers, took Fengtian in one fell swoop, Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces, absconded, Zhang Zuolin surrendered, Zhang Shaozeng and Cao Kun were cut off, morale declined, Sun Hongye and Tan Fangcheng took this opportunity to defeat Zhang Cao and the two, most of the new army was annihilated, Zhang Cao and the two fled back to the Guannai with only a few hundred people, and the Beijing division was shocked for a while, and the old and young of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were overshadowed.

Yuan Shikai mobilized the Beiyang Army of the two towns to counterattack, and the army of Sun Hongye and Tan Fangcheng, who had been tired of fighting for a long time, was defeated and retreated to Jinzhou, and the supply line of the Beiyang Army was lengthened, and Yuan Shikai did not want to really fight, so the two armies entered the confrontation.

Chen Xuan suddenly found that he had gotten rid of it, and originally wanted to go to Ma'anshan after training the army, but he never thought that the situation would develop so quickly, and the fire of revolution would quickly sweep south of the Yangtze River like a tsunami.

I had made up my mind not to go to Nanjing, but now I have no place to go except Nanjing, although Wuchang Li Yuanhong has sent several telegrams to ask for reinforcements, but there is no reason not to fight in Nanjing, which is close at hand, but to run to Wuchang, right?

The commander-in-chief of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army is Xu Shaozhen, the ruler of the ninth town of the Beiyang New Army, Chen Xuan sent a division under Qi Baicheng of the Jiangsu Revolutionary Army, and a division of the Zhejiang Army temporarily formed in Suzhou, the division commander was served by You Ling, the captain of the guard who went to Nanyang with Chen Xuan, and the two divisions totaled more than 7,500 people, and they were sent to the vicinity of Zhenjiang, the garrison of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang coalition army.

Huang Xing had also left Wuchang and was on his way to the camp of the coalition army, and also sent a telegram to Chen Xuan, inviting Chen Xuan to go to Ningbo together.

And he can't stay in Suzhou any longer, some domestic newspapers and periodicals have already begun to say strange things about Chen Xuan, if this wind is allowed to grow, it will be a fatal blow to Chen Xuan's prestige, and the reputation of the early Bolai will be ruined.

had to invite Han Xu and Zhang Jian to come over to discuss, and Cheng Dequan also joined the Baath Party under the persuasion of Zhou Shumo and Zhang Jian, so he was also invited, and there were also Zhao Xuechu and Du Yuesheng's high-level leaders in Suzhou.
