A day later, the Haiqi joined up with the Xuzhou and left the Nagasaki military port for Shanghi, China. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the imperial court sent a telegram to Wang Yongan, asking Wang Yongan and the overseas Chinese army to go to Dagukou in Tianjin, and then go to Beijing to receive it, Wang Yongan refused this request, and he asked to lead the overseas Chinese army back to Yangzhou to rest and recuperate.
The imperial court once again issued an edict to let Wang Yongan rush to Dagukou, and the regent Zaifeng would personally inspect the overseas Chinese army. Wang Yongan still refused the request of the imperial court, and the excuse for calling back was that the soldiers still missed their hometown, and feared that their hometown would be violated by the rebellious party, so he first returned to Yangzhou to quell the rebellious party, and then entered Beijing to worship.
The regent Zaifeng was furious, but at this time he had gradually lost power, and even if he was angry, he couldn't get angry, so he had to call to comfort Wang Yongan, saying that he would have a good rest and strive to enter Beijing as soon as possible.
Seeing Zaifeng's telegrams, one weaker than the other, Wang Yongxin knew that the court was about to change the dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel better.
Then Wang Yongan suddenly remembered one thing, he saw a photo from Youpeng in Shanxian County, a photo of Jiang Yanxing.
Is Jiang Yanxing a revolutionary party?
Will there be friends in Shan County who use a trick to separate themselves from Jiang Yanxing?
Thinking of this, Wang Yongan immediately called Fang Xianwu to his side and told him about the matter. Fang Xianwu was also surprised, and asked again and again, "Are you sure there is Jiang Yanxing in that photo?" ”
"Yes, I'm sure." Wang Yongan said.
Fang Xianwu frowned and said: "Jiang Yanxing is a native of Zhili, and it stands to reason that he has nothing to do with the revolutionary party, and he has been serving as an instructor and reserve officer in the Beiyang Army Officers' Accelerated School before, and he is still a thousand general ranks, how can he join the revolutionary party." ”
Wang Yongan said: "So I am also puzzled, and I don't dare to conclude that he is a revolutionary party, I can only be sure that the photo I saw in Youpeng in Shanxian County has him, and according to his qualifications, if he stays in St. Lucas, he will be Gong Wuyuan's deputy and can serve as the deputy commander, but now he has to return to China - he doesn't know how many people will press on his head after returning to China?" ”
"Maybe everyone has their own aspirations." Fang Xianwu said, "I can't judge, let's pay more attention to him in the future, in this way, I will send my henchmen to make horses for him after a while, if he has any rebellion, we can know as soon as possible, if he has no rebellion, we will remain silent." ”
"Secret police?" Wang Yongan asked.
Fang Xianwu said: "At this position, even if we don't like the secret police anymore, we have to establish a secret police force." Alas...... The family is big and the business is big, and it is inevitable that someone will use shady tricks to harm us. ”
"You're right." Wang Yongan is colorful.
Jiang Yanxing's incident made Wang Yongan, who was originally in a good mood, a little bad, and soon Xiao Xiaoyue, the person next to him, felt the change in his mood, but Xiao Xiaoyue thought that he was thinking about his plans after returning to China, so he smiled and said: "I'll be back soon, what's the matter?" Is it cowardly? ”
Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "We don't go to Shanghi, let's go to Chongming first, then Nantong, and then go back to Yangzhou by land." ”
"Why is it so complicated?" Xiao Xiaoyue didn't know much about the marching arrangements, Wang Yongan carefully explained that if the overseas Chinese guards disembarked at the Dagu Pass in Tianjin, they were likely to be detained in Beijing, not only the Manchu court was afraid of the overseas Chinese guards, but even Yuan Shikai coveted his troops, so he must not disembark at the Dagu Pass. If you disembark in Qingdao and then take the overland route, it will take longer to travel in a straight line, although it is a long distance in a straight line.
Soon after the fleet departed from the port of Nagasaki, Wang Yongan received a telegram from the Shanghi Revolutionary Military Government, and Chen Qimei, the overseer of Shanghi, sent a telegram of condolences and sincerely invited Wang Yongan to lead the overseas Chinese army to Shanghai, and the military and people in Shanghai would wholeheartedly welcome the arrival of General Wang Jingyun. Chen Qimei also said that if Wang Yongan joined the Shanghi Revolutionary Military Government, Chen Qimei was willing to give up the post of Shanghi Overseer to him.
"Hahaha...... Chen Yingshi, this guy, I can't wait for me not to go to Shanghi, if I go to Shanghi, he will be unable to retreat. Wang Yongan looked at the telegram and laughed, Fang Xianwu looked at him suspiciously, Wang Yongan explained: "Don't look at what Chen Qimei said so easily, he thinks more seriously than anyone else. My brother...... He didn't even want face for this high-ranking Overseer. ”
It turned out that after the recovery of Shanghai, the revolutionary leaders of the League, the Liberation Society, and the Chamber of Commerce began to organize the Shanghai Governor's Office.
In the process of Shanghi Guangfu, although the number of Guangfu troops is small, but it is the main force against the Qing Dynasty, but the merchant group guild has a little bit of the meaning of the wall-riding faction, and the alliance will pull the flag and shout on the side to do not do much, the youth gang led by Chen Qimei of the alliance not only failed when attacking the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Chen Qimei was also arrested, fortunately Li Xianmo led the merchant group to rescue Chen Qimei, so everyone has their own ideas about this candidate for the Shanghi overseer.
At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Hanqin, a representative of the Guangfu Army, said: "Shanghi Guangfu, Zhabei moved first, succeeded in one fell swoop, and Wusong Fortress did not occupy it, all of which were the strength of Mr. Li Xiehe's strategy, and it was inevitable that Mr. Xiehe would serve as the Shanghi overseer. ”
Wu Huai, a representative of the business group, immediately said: "Zhabei and Wusong are naturally inseparable from Mr. Xiehe, but the heaviest battle of Shanghai's recovery lies in the battle of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Commander Timber was a military prowess, a man of great knowledge, and a great reputation, and he was expected to serve as Overseer. ”
Huang Yin of the League stammered and said: "Mr. Ince knew the difficulties, personally led the death squad to attack the manufacturing bureau, and promoted the first ......."
Yin Cunfu, a merchant group, sneered: "It's a pity that Mr. Ince was arrested instead of capturing the manufacturing bureau, if there is no Mr. Xianmo, I am afraid that he will already be a dead soul under the Qing saber." ”
Chen Qimei immediately jumped out and shouted: "Wuchang Shouyi is the credit of our party, Mr. Zhongshan is the public leader of the national revolutionaries, and many provinces have issued documents in the name of Mr. Zhongshan." The restoration of Shanghai, if there is no central contact with our party, it is really difficult to succeed, so the most meritorious contribution to the recovery of Shanghai, with our party is the largest, and the post of governor must be held by our party personnel. He took out a piece of paper from the sea and announced loudly: "Our party has made a decision, Huang Yin is the chief of staff of the Governor's Office, and Li Xianmo, Li Xiehe, Chen Hanqin, Yang Pusheng, Niu Yongjian, Ye Huijun and other gentlemen are the staff officers of the Governor's Office. ”
As soon as the list was released, the attendees were in an uproar, and then shouted invective and pushed and shoved by the congregation. (Some are similar to the Dumb Bay Council.) )
Huang Yan immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at Li Pingshu and asked, "Mr. Ince has been born and died several times, shouldn't he be the overseer?" ”
The representatives of the business group behind Li Pingshu would not be able to take a fancy to it, and they all pulled out their guns and pointed at Chen Qimei, Huang Yin and other members of the alliance, and suddenly heard someone shouting loudly: "If you don't choose Chen Qimei as the overseer today, no one will want to go out of this door." Everyone looked and saw Chen Qimei's statement investment Liu Fubiao standing at the door, covered with explosives, holding the fuse of the grenade with both hands, his eyes were wide with anger, and he was murderous.
Everyone climbed out of the sea of corpses and blood, and they were not afraid of this Liu Fubiao, and when they couldn't hold on, Li Pingshu persuaded them, and all parties discussed and discussed, and finally decided that Chen Qimei would serve as the Shanghi Overseer, Li Pingshu would serve as the Chief of Civil Affairs, Niu Yongjian would serve as the Chief of Military Affairs, Li Xianmo would serve as the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, Huang Yin would serve as the Chief of Staff, Liu Jiyan would serve as the Deputy Chief of Staff, Shen Manyun would serve as the Chief of Finance, Wu Tingfang would serve as the Chief of Foreign Affairs, Wang Yiting would serve as the Chief of Industry and Commerce, Mao Zhongfang would serve as the Chief of Navy, and the rest would serve as the staff officers of the Overseer's Office.
After relying on hooliganism to get the post of Shanghai overseer, Chen Qimei knew that he had nothing to rely on, and learned that the Jiangsu Revolutionary Party was preparing to attack Nanjing, so he wanted to drive those annoying guys out of Shanghi, so he organized the army to support the Jiangsu Revolutionary Party, and sent the merchant group and the Guangfu Army to Jiangsu one by one, and Shanghi finally became Chen Qimei's private territory.
cherishes Shanghi Overseer so much, how could Chen Qimei give it away, Wang Yongan doesn't have to think about it, his big brother is so embarrassed, he will inevitably be embarrassed if he goes, so don't go to Shanghi. So Wang Yongan called back to thank Chen Qimei for the invitation, but as a general of the Qing Dynasty, it was inconvenient for him to make friends with the revolutionary party, so he only led the army back to Yangzhou, hoping that there would be no disputes between the two sides and that they would cherish each other.
Wang Yongan also warned the big brother Chen Qimei to the ground, each of them is fine, if you move my Shanghi industry, it will be trouble with me, my Jiangbei Army is not a vegetarian, let alone you are a high-spirit, even the entire revolutionary army may not be able to resist the Jiangbei Army's soldiers.
