At eight o'clock in the evening, in the apartment No. 23 of Happiness Lane.

In a small room on the second floor, Feng Chen, Yang Xunzhen, Zhao Shouyi, Wang Feng, all four of them arrived, and after Zhao Shouyi poured a cup of tea for everyone, he sat down next to Feng Chen, and the four of them sat around a square table.

"Today, our party group has a meeting, we all knew each other before, so I don't have to introduce it again, the only thing I want to introduce is that now, Comrade Yang Xunzhen's pseudonym is Su Jing, and my pseudonym in Zhongyi Saving ** is Su Mingguang."

Feng Chen made an opening remark first, and also informed everyone of his other identity and Yang Xunzhen.

"The central topic of today's meeting is how our party group should carry out its work in the future, and everyone should share their own views."

After Feng Chen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhao Shouyi, Zhao Shouyi understood that this was Feng Chen who wanted him to speak first.

"I would like to make a statement, Comrade Feng Chen just said, how our group should carry out its work in the future, I believe that the main contradiction at present is the relationship between China and Japan, and our future work will of course be based on resisting Japan." Zhao Shouyi talked about his views.

"I think it's right to focus on anti-Japanese resistance, but we also want to think about the struggle with the Kuomintang agents, and although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperate, we must have our independence." Wang Feng took Zhao Shouyi's words and said.

"I agree with Wang Feng's point of view!" Yang Xunzhen agreed.

"Speaking of which, I would like to give Comrade Feng Chen an opinion, what he said is not right, everyone criticizes, since the Battle of Songhu last year, our party group has rarely carried out activities, Comrade Feng Chen is doing things for the Military Unification Bureau with all his might, I think this is very abnormal, we will change this state of affairs in the future."

Zhao Shouyi suddenly criticized Feng Chenlai.

"Comrade Zhao Shouyi, some time ago, there was a reason why our party group rarely carried out activities, after the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, and the higher authorities instructed us to do a good job of deep latent, besides, without the order of the superior organization, if we want to carry out activities privately, it is a violation of discipline."

Wang Feng realized the difficulties lurking in the Military Command Bureau, and defended Feng Chen.

"Comrade Wang Feng, Mr. Zhao's criticism is very right, we have to change it, if we don't, we will encourage, in short, our party group is a whole, between our four comrades, we must help each other, remind each other, unite as one, only in this way, our party group in Shanghai, better complete the tasks assigned to us by the higher party organization."

Feng Chen believes that with Zhao Shouyi's beating and reminding, everyone will not lose their party spirit in the bright lights.

Next, Feng Chen informed everyone that on July 7, the military commander's plan to launch a riot in Shanghai, as well as Yan'an's instructions for the riot.

In the end, Feng Chen arranged for Zhao Shouyi to go to the school, privately contact the peripheral personnel, and on the day of the riot, organize everyone to take to the streets and distribute anti-Japanese leaflets.

Comrade Wang Feng, on the premise of protecting himself, actively cooperated with the actions of Zhao Lijun of the Shanghai District of the Military Command.

Yang Xunzhen continued to decipher the code in the apartment at No. 23 Happiness Lane to provide intelligence support for the operation.

At the group meeting, it was also decided that Zhao Shouyi would move into No. 23 Xingfu Lane, and Deren Bookstore on Lafay Road would be used as the underground transportation station of the cuttlefish intelligence group.

The party group meeting lasted for more than two hours.

After the meeting was dismissed, Feng Chen returned to the Zhonghui Bank building on Aidoya Road, because at 10 o'clock every night, there was a regular contact with the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, and Feng Chen wanted to see if Dai Li had any new orders.

Feng Chen had just sat down in the office on the third floor, and Fang Xiaoman really came over with a stack of telegrams.

"Team leader, the headquarters approved our riot plan and instructed us to make the movement as loud as possible." Fang Xiaoman reported.

"No other instructions?" Feng Chen asked.

"Yes, Chief Dai instructed you to personally go to the Tang Mansion on Fukaisen Road tomorrow to meet Tang Shaoyi." Fang Xiaoman replied.

"Let me meet Tang Shaoyi? Which play is this playing, Sir Dai? Feng Chen looked suspicious.

"Hehe, team leader, just look at the telegram yourself." Fang Xiaoman smiled slightly, and handed a telegram in his hand to Feng Chen.

Feng Chen took the message and looked at it, the content was like this:

"Sea snake, I have heard recently, Tang Shaoyi, who lives in the French Concession of Shanghai, has recently had close contact with the Japanese side, and I hereby order you to visit the Tang Mansion tomorrow with generous gifts in your private name, first, to mobilize Tang Shaoyi to leave Shanghai to settle in Hong Kong, and second, to secretly find out whether Tang Shaoyi really colluded with the Japanese side."

The inscription of the telegram bears Dai Li's name "Dai Yunong".

It seems that this order was decided by Dai Li's privately, and the headquarters issued orders to Feng Chen's intelligence group, and rarely wrote Dai Li's name on the letter, unless it was a major matter, or it was purely a private act.

Feng Chen still knows Tang Shaoyi well, belongs to the veteran of the Republic of China, the first premier of the Republic of China, Feng Chen's father Feng Wenxuan has a very good relationship with Tang Shaoyi.

Tang Shaoyi was born in Tangjiawan Town, Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province, and was the fourth of six brothers, and his father, Tang Yongda, ran a tea trade in Shanghai.

Tang Shaoyi studied in Shanghai since he was a child, and also studied at Queen's College in Hong Kong, when he was 12 years old, he was sent to the United States by the Qing government at public expense, belonging to the third batch of ** children, and later dropped out of Columbia University.

In 1881, after returning from studying in the United States, Tang Shaoyi was sent to Tianjin Naval Master Westernization School to continue his studies, and in 1882, Tang Shaoyi went to Korea to assist in customs affairs in the name of the attaché of the German Mu Linde.

In the 1884 North Korean Jiashen coup, Tang Shaoyi was not afraid of danger and held a gun to Mu Linde's house, which deeply impressed Yuan Shikai, who was also in North Korea, and made the two become irreversible friends.

The following year, Tang Shaoyi was appointed consul general of the Qing government in Korea, a position he held until he returned to China due to his father's death.

In May 1899, when Li Hongzhang was the governor of Liangguang, he took Tang Shaoyi with him.

When Yuan Shikai was appointed governor of Shandong, Tang Shaoyi went as a Taoist to help with diplomacy.

After Yuan Shikai was promoted to the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, he reused Tang Shaoyi as the customs road of Tianjin, and Tang Shaoyi's performance during this period was praised by his colleagues and Yuan Shikai.

In 1904, the British attacked Tibet, Tibet asked the Qing government for help, and the Qing government sent Tang Shaoyi to India to negotiate with the British and sign the "Sino-British Renewal of the Tibet-India Treaty".

In 1907, Tang Shaoyi became the first governor of Fengtian, responsible for handling the diplomacy of the northeast region.

In October 1908, Tang Shaoyi arrived in the United States from Shanghai via Japan, and then from the United States to Europe, and returned to Beijing in July 1909.

When the Xinhai Revolution broke out in 1911, Tang Shaoyi served as the representative of the Qing government in the "North-South Peace" incident, and negotiated peace with Wu Tingfang, a representative of the Southern People's Army, in Shanghai.

In the parliament, Tang Shaoyi made concessions to the south with the policy of "supporting Yuan and the Republic".

On March 13, 1912, Tang Shaoyi was appointed Premier of the Republic of China by Yuan Shikai.

At the beginning of Tang Shaoyi's tenure as premier, he had great political ambitions, and he selected Song Jiaoren, Cai Yuanpei, Chen Qimei, and other key members of the League to join the cabinet and serve as ministers of agriculture and forestry, education, and industry and commerce, so that the members of the League would occupy the majority in the government.

Tang Shaoyi was diligent in official affairs and paid attention to efficiency, which made the government present a new atmosphere.

Yuan Shikai was very dissatisfied with Tang Shaoyi's monopoly of power, the implementation of a responsible cabinet system for Tang Shaoyi, and the observance of regulations and laws everywhere, and the rift between the two deepened on issues such as employment, finance, and compliance with the prime minister's subordinate powers stipulated in the "Provisional Covenant Law."

Tang Shaoyi refused Yuan Shikai's confidant Zhao Bingjun and privately arranged for the old Beiyang to enter the cabinet, but Zhao Bingjun actually threatened to resign.

In terms of fundraising, Tang Shaoyi's opposition to the banking syndicate of Britain, the United States, Germany, and France and his unreasonable demand for supervising China's finances aroused the joint attack of Yuan Shikai, the chief financial officer, and the banking syndicate of the four countries.

At the beginning of June 1912, the Zhili Provincial Assembly elected Wang Zhixiang as the governor of Zhili, but Yuan Shikai did not recognize it, and put aside the subordinate power of the prime minister and announced another appointment.

Seeing that the "Provisional Covenant" had been destroyed, Tang Shaoyi angrily submitted his resignation, and he was the prime minister for less than three months.
