A few days ago, on October 30, in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, in a tavern, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers sat around the table, and the wine was ruined. A Japanese officer stood up, raised his glass, and said:

"When the Japanese soldiers say goodbye, they drink water and toast. This kind of water cup is a performance of the Japanese samurai saying goodbye, passing the cup and drinking together and vowing not to survive! Come, Nakamura-kun, Zhang Jun, Chen Jun, please have a full drink! May you embark on a truly life's journey and embark on a magnificent journey! ”

Jiang Zhiqing (Japanese name Nakamura) solemnly raised his wine glass, "Thank you." Today, the three of us returned to China to go to righteousness, and life and death were unpredictable. Thousands of years ago, there was a righteous man in China who recited a poem at such a moment. At this moment, this poem also best expresses my feelings......"

After a pause, Jiang Zhiqing took a picture and groaned emotionally:

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!"

"Gentlemen, may we be able to get drunk together in the coming day!"

After drinking the banquet, taking off their military uniforms, changing into kimonos, and putting poison with them, Jiang Zhiqing and the three of them rushed to the railway station, and after taking the train to Nagasaki, they went straight to Shanghai by steamer. Unexpectedly, this hurry and hurry, but it was still a little late, and when I got off the ship, I found that the beach was full of white flags, and the victory was restored.

Jiang Zhiqing suddenly saw a few minions of the Green Gang on the dock, so he went over to inquire. When he knew that the Shanghai Han Army had fought with the Manchus all night at the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau yesterday, he couldn't help but stomp his feet and sigh again and again, hating himself for not being able to take a leave of absence earlier.

Later, I heard from the minions that his eldest brother Chen Qimei was in the Coastal Defense Department, discussing with representatives from all walks of life in Shanghai about the establishment of the Shanghai Military Government and the election of the governor, so he found a few rickshaws and hurriedly went to the Coastal Defense Department.

At this moment, there is already a lot of noise in the Coastal Defense Department.

But he said that there was a fierce battle all night last night, and the death squad of the Liberation Army was unstoppable. Pan Yueqiao did not care for himself and set fire to the west fence; Xu Qisong and several team members seized a steel cannon from the parapet ditch of the artillery battalion of the General Manufacturing Bureau, turned around, and opened fire on the artillery bombardment of the General Manufacturing Bureau; Fan Gengxin braved the rain of bullets, climbed over the wall to enter the General Manufacturing Bureau, cut the iron lock, opened the gate, and put in the Han army, laying the cornerstone of Shanghai's recovery. After fighting all night until dawn, the members of the Liberation Society saw that the white flag of the Han army was flying high in the General Manufacturing Bureau, and that the recovery of Shanghai was complete, so they left one after another and looked for a place to rest.

That Wang Wenqing and Li Xiehe led the army to attack the General Manufacturing Bureau, and they worked hard all night, and when they conquered the General Bureau, they were also exhausted, and they also rested at dawn. Who knows, at this time, Chen Qimei, who had "rested" all night, began to jump around as soon as she was rescued. Chen Qimei dragged several leaders of the merchant group, such as Li Xianmo, to the Haiphong Department, and actually wanted to put aside the heroes of the Restoration Society, who had sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives for meritorious service, to prepare for the establishment of the Shanghai Military Government.

If a person has a few more faces, how can he be thicker than this dignified minister of the Central Alliance?

At this time, there were only two parties in the hall, and they were a little afraid of the heroes of the Restoration Society, and the representatives of the Shanghai business circles saw that Chen Qimei was determined to abandon the Restoration Society, so they half-pushed and half-pushed, but they naturally elected Li Xianmo of the merchant group to be the governor who harmed the military government. The reason is naturally that he fought bravely, his merits were high, and his prestige was well-known. That's it, what's even more odious is that the gentry in the business world even elected Ye Huijun as the deputy governor.

It's really too unfamiliar.

So, Chen Qimei got up, took out a list, read it aloud, read it aloud, and handed the list to Li Xianmo casually, sat back on the chair, and looked at the stupid appearance of everyone in the hall triumphantly.

Why are you stupid about these people, it turns out that Chen Qimei's list, Chen Qimei is the governor of the capital, his brother Huang Yin is the chief of staff, and among the candidates for other large and small positions, not only is there no half of the people in the Restoration Society, but even Li Xianmo of the merchant group is only a small staff officer.

I've seen a thick-skinned one, where have I ever seen such a thick one?

The gentry of the business circles and other representatives who came one after another suddenly became noisy, shouting one by one, and some of those who were not on the list, or who were on the list but were not in a satisfactory position, had already jumped to their feet and began to curse. For a moment, the venue was transformed into a vegetable market, and the delegates also turned into shrews on the street.

Chen Qimei originally thought that he was on the beach in Shanghai, not to say a word, and he was also famous, if he read out this list, these so-called deputies would immediately cheer and clap their hands in celebration, where did they ever think that it would be such a scene? Chen Qimei was suddenly furious, snorted with her nose, and scolded: "Toast and don't eat and drink!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Huang Yan stepped forward, took out a pistol, raised his hand to the sky, pulled the trigger, and "snapped"! A crisp chirp turned the vegetable market back into a venue, and also drew a break for everyone's shrewd-like behavior.

Just when everyone was stunned, Liu Fubiao, Chen Qimei's bodyguard, suddenly took out a *, stepped on the stool and rushed to a conference table, raised his right hand to play, pulled the string with his left hand, looked around at the people below, and shouted angrily: "Du Duhe is Chen Yingshi, who dares to say half a word, Lao Tzu pulls the string, let's see the king of Hades together!" ”

"Du Duhe is Chen Yingshi", where is this what the rude Liu Fubiao can say? Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that this is clearly planned by Chen Qimei in advance, and he has to force everyone to agree and let him be the governor of the Shanghai army.

But the princes present, since they are allowed to be called representatives, which one is not a person in their respective circles? Which one is not the best in the thick black field? If it is so easy to be bluffed by Chen Qimei, let him get his wish, where will everyone's face be put in the future? As a result, someone in the middle of the meeting shouted, "Run for your life!" The representatives from all walks of life, pretending to be embarrassed, walked away like a storm in an instant, leaving only Huang Yun, who was brave with a gun in his hand, and Liu Fubiao, who was standing on the table with a righteous face.

Just when the three of them were stunned there, Jiang Zhiqing went against the flow of people and squeezed in hard, seeing the two of them like this, remembering the gunfire just now, he asked in surprise: "Didn't you elect the governor?" This...... What the hell is going on? ”

Huang Yun laughed embarrassedly, put away the short gun, and Chen Qimei dragged down Liu Fubiao, who was still standing stupidly on the table, and said calmly: "The third brother came back so quickly!" ”

How they reminisced about the old days, or discussed, I won't mention it for the time being. Speaking of the afternoon, Li Xiehe, Wang Wenqing and others woke up and were furious when they heard this.

"Shameless villain!" Li Xiehe was especially indignant, "This Chen Qimei will only be jealous on weekdays, and he won't do anything at all." It's a matter of grabbing merit, and his hands and feet are faster than anyone else! It's just that he has just recovered the land of Shanghai, Nanjing, Songjiang, Jiangsu, Hangzhou, and the entire southeast are still in the hands of the Manchus, so he is impatient and wants to rush to be the governor! If you had known that he was like this today, you shouldn't have saved him last night, and let that Zhang Shiheng shoot him, which saved people a shame and made people look down on us revolutionaries! It will not make our brothers of the Restoration Society pay so much sacrifice last night! ”

Wang Cao was also very angry, slapped the table, and shouted: "I'm going to transfer troops now, I must give Chen Qimei some color!" Let him understand who has the hardest fist on the beach! ”

There were also a few people who began to shout and scold loudly, and a few people rubbed their hands and followed Wang Cao out, at this time, Yin Ruizhi suddenly slapped the table violently and shouted loudly: "Childe's words, have you all forgotten!" Look at what time has come! When the Japanese son was in Shanghai, how did you promise? ”

Yin Ruizhi is young, but she is a disciple of Qiu Jin, she herself is also a strong martial artist, she has been running around all these years, working hard for the Restoration Society, and has always been very prestigious among the comrades in the meeting. Especially in the past two years, Tao Chengzhang is not in the southeast, and the matter of the Restoration Society is almost taken care of by her and Wang Wenqing, and everyone doesn't dare to complain about anything when they see her angry, not to mention, Yin Ruizhi even called out Zhu Chongzhen's name!

On that day, Zhu Chongzhen stayed in Shanghai, but what he saw was not only Zhang Yuanji. He was in the Ruijun Society in the French Concession, and he also had a secret discussion with the people of the Liberation Association for a day. At that time, everyone promised Zhu Chongzhen that if Wuchang was recovered, within a month, the southeastern provinces would be determined!

But this day seems to have passed in January, but Shanghai has just been recovered. You must know that Shanghai at that time was just a small Shanghai county in Songjiang Prefecture under the rule of a Liangjiang governor, far from the prosperity of later generations, but just a start. Moreover, most of the land in the city was occupied by the public concession of the foreigners and the French concession, and the real Manchu rule was actually only two pieces of Zhabei and Nanshi, and even these two pieces were separated by the concession. At this time, it is really ridiculous to build a naval junta.

This is a bit like the Hongyang Rebellion back then. As soon as he raised the matter, he dared to build a country, and when he laid down a county seat, he dared to be crowned king. How can this kind of person who does not learn and has no skills succeed? If Zhu Yuanzhang was hundreds of years ago, he was also so narrow-minded, I am afraid that there would be no glory for a long time!

Yin Ruizhi said a word, and everyone was a little surprised. Wang Wenqing's eyes were cold, he glanced at the people in the room, and said slowly, "Why did we join the Liberation Society?" It's not for power and profit, nor for these rats, to compete for these small profits. We, the sons and daughters of China, do not hesitate to die and strive for success, in order to drive out the Tartars and restore China! Today is just a projectile of Shanghai, what is there to fight for? What is there to shed blood with your comrades? ”

"We, the Restoration Society, were born to overthrow autocracy and establish a republic! Although Shanghai has been restored today, the villagers and elders of the southeastern provinces are still crying out and crying under the enslavement of the Manchu Dynasty! At this moment, it is the time for us to work hard to settle on the southeast and complete the mission of our Restoration Society! We will have a recovery meeting, where is there any leisure, and these shameless people, fight for this useless chicken rib food! ”

After saying this, everyone was ashamed and enthusiastic, Wang Cao clenched his hands and slapped his chest suddenly, "What my brother said is very true, we are confused for a while!" What to do now, brother, you will give the order! ”

"Good!" Wang Wenqing continued: "Time is running out, our soldiers are divided into two ways!" In the column, you and Ruizhi led all the way to Suzhou; I will go to Hangzhou and contact Zhu Jieren, and be sure to recover the southeast and meet with Yuntang before the end of the month! ”

After listening to this, Li Xiehe nodded, and was about to agree, when Yin Ruizhi had already preemptively said: "Cheng Dequan of Suzhou, who used to have an old relationship with Xu Shi in the Northeast, he doesn't need many soldiers and horses, Ruizhi can persuade him to recover Jiangsu by going alone!" ”
