A dim light really can't illuminate too many places, and the dirty mess in the workshop is even weaker than the dim light, seven or eight people are negotiating with the dim light, but their discussion is not too enthusiastic, and the rest is over in a blink of an eye, the scorching heat in July, the high temperature in August, is common in the south, and the night of Poyang Lake is so hot that it is really unbearable, and these guys don't take advantage of the slightly cooler, and they are still in the mood to gather here to chat.

"After Chang Zhenbang took over as Xunyang Daoyin, he took the civil unrest in the twenty counties in the province as the administrative center, and the deputy division commander Hua Zhongtian led the first brigade to quell the civil unrest in Ruichang City, and the comrades in charge of the armed uprising in Ruichang City suffered heavy losses, but they had already retreated to the Dongying Consulate in the British Concession of Jiujiang."

"Very good, stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, as long as the comrades are safely withdrawn, the flame of the revolution will be retained, and when Mr. Sun is in power, you are all hard-working ministers."

"Ruichang City has now collected taxes to the sixty-seventh year of the Republic of China, in less than a year, that dog official has repeatedly collected taxes to such a point, even if our comrades withdraw, the momentum of the common people is still huge, even if Chang Zhenbang is good at dancing with long sleeves, he must be prepared to garrison his first brigade in Ruichang for a long time."

It is said that Zhang Youhua's third brigade is the descendant of Chang Zhenbang's lineage, but this Chang Zhenbang's descendant army has already driven to Hukou to quell the civil rebellion, and now only Liu Shifa's second brigade is left in the Jiujiang camp. Now if you launch an armed uprising, you will definitely be able to recover Jiujiang City in one fell swoop, and then the soldiers and nobles will quickly recover Xunyang Road, occupy Nanchang City, and declare Jiangxi to stand on its own. Ha ha. ”

"That's all for the future, now the first thing we need to bear the brunt of is to reorganize the organization of the Chinese Reform Party in Jiujiang, if we can recover Jiujiang, it is also a good choice, but it is a little difficult to seize Jiujiang City by force, then Chang Zhenbang is also a guy who came out of the battlefield with a knife and a shot, and it is really not in vain to start a battle!"

"Brother Zhang, why do you want to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige! Even if he Chang Zhenbang is a famous general in a hundred battles, now is the best time to capture him in one fell swoop! As long as the staff officer is the officer, the recovery of Jiujiang City is not a problem! ”

The faint light shone on the face of the person known as Brother Zhang, and Zhang Tianzheng's face leaked out, only to see him ask very cautiously and seriously, "Why do you say that?" ”

The man said: "Big brother, you think, now two-thirds of the Jiujiang Army has gone to fight in other places, the consumption of this ammunition is huge, as far as I know, the ammunition in the Jiujiang military depot is almost bottomed out, and it will take more than ten days to wait for the imperial court and Nanchang to help, and now the ammunition of the entire Jiujiang Army has begun to use the inventory in our field, as long as the eldest brother breaks his Jiujiang Army's ammunition inventory, Chang Zhenbang is a tiger without teeth and claws, and he is afraid of his ball!" Besides, Liu Shifa, who is in charge of the Second Brigade, is the younger brother of our reformer Liu Shijun, as long as he knows the benefits, even if he can't rebel against this unit, he can also be treated negatively in the next action, if it develops rapidly, then the army that Chang Zhenbang can use in Jiujiang City is only the guard regiment that guards the town and guards the yamen, and if those people run out of bullets, they will be given in vain. ”

"Brother, your idea is very good, but you forgot that there is a garrison in Jiujiang City. Counting it down, there is also the combat effectiveness of a brigade. ”

"Brother Zhang, you think too much, you said that it was the former garrison, and the current internal factions of the garrison are fighting to the death, and the general office faction and the army faction are each other, so there is no need to worry about it at all."

Zhang Tianzheng thought about it, sighed and said: "In this way, it seems that the form of innovation here is very good, but why do I always feel that something is wrong in my heart?" ”

The man said: "Brother Zhang, you have been by Chang Zhenbang's side for too long, and you were frightened by him, in fact, he is nothing, but he is lucky, if Liu Shijun and Brother Liu did not go to Dongying to follow Mr. Sun, Chang Zhenbang would not know how to die." ”

Zhang Tianzheng said: "Liu Shijun is something, he really lost Mr. Sun's face when he escaped from the battle, on the contrary, this Changzhen guard is really young and promising, and he has his own set of ideas for officials and soldiers, if such a person can stand under Mr. Sun's command, the pace of China's innovation will be much faster!" ”

"Brother Zhang, I don't agree with what you say, that Chang Zhenbang, a Han man, actually let a Manchu named Dehai be his general accounting office, it is really a number of books and forget his ancestors, so many of our Han people are not every one of them! I think he's also full of sins! This kind of person should be cut with a thousand knives, if he is included in the innovation team, it is inevitable that he will be Yuan Shikai again! So I don't agree with him anyway. ”

"Me too, Chang Zhenbang is different from Lord Li Yuanhong, he is an executioner stained with the blood of innovative people, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, he killed so many of our brothers and comrades, and dyed the entire Jiujiang wharf red, so this kind of person can only show his head to the public."

"But this person has won the hearts of the people and the army, if you kill him, I am afraid it will arouse the anger of the people!"

"These fart people who don't have the courage to stand up and follow Mr. Sun's innovation, I'm afraid of what they do, if they dare to gossip, they will kill all his family after recovery! I want to see who dares to stop the wheels of the times! ”

"What's the difference between you doing this and the Beiyang demons! Just know kill, kill, kill! You must know that innovation cannot succeed by killing alone! Zhang Tianzheng said angrily.

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, so many innovative comrades died in his hands, how can he be worthy of the innovative comrades if he is not killed!" The man confronted each other.

"Okay, everyone is a comrade of innovation, don't argue about this kind of thing, I think that at this time, after Jiujiang is recovered, write out this person's merits and demerits and submit them to Mr. Sun, so that Mr. Sun can make a decision." The third person couldn't help but speak, and this idea of letting go of the controversy immediately won the approval of the two factions.

"There are still three hours until the early hours of the morning, and the early hours of the morning are the most sleepy and tired time for people, and if you launch an armed uprising at this time, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! Therefore, in the name of the person in charge of the Jiujiang branch of the Chinese Reform Party, I announced that from now on, all the personnel of the Jiujiang Reform Party will begin to prepare for the uprising, Brother Zhang is responsible for providing guns and ammunition, and Xiao Liu is responsible for gathering manpower, especially those comrades with actual combat experience, Xiao Zhang, you have a close relationship with Liu Shijun's brothers, and you are responsible for persuading Liu Shifa's brothers of the uprising, you might as well tell him that if the uprising is successful, he will be the Jiujiang town guard of the reform government! ”

Zhang Tianzheng was so frightened by what he said that he almost couldn't close his mouth, and said, "This is too hasty!" The armed uprising is a major event, and it is related to the life and death of so many comrades, and I think it should be reported to the higher-ups! ”

"Comrade Zhang Tianzheng, you are too conservative, too negative, just like an old lady with bound feet in the countryside, she can't take a step, how can this work, innovation must be especially prepared by Mr. Sun, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Tan Sitong, how can I reform the party just think about Gao Jue Houlu and his wife and son, but I don't want to sacrifice Mr. Sun? Comrade Zhang Tianzheng, you have to formalize yourself, ask yourself if you still have a little bit of innovative dedication, I think you have been bewitched by that guy called Chang Zhenbang, degenerate, and lost the spirit of innovation and enterprising, but as long as you are still an innovative comrade, do your thing well tonight, provide our innovative comrades with guns and ammunition, and let you be the deputy envoy of the town guard after the success of the reform. Okay, you can go down. ”

Zhang Tianzheng looked at this newly sent innovation leader, and his heart was cold, in order to change the country, he studied abroad, participated in Mr. Zhongshan's reform movement, and even sacrificed his life to promote Jiangxi's first self-reliance from the knife and fire, and overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but unexpectedly, what these reform comrades wanted was just a Han dynasty, they naively thought that as long as those Manchus were replaced by Han people, China could easily become the Celestial Empire again, this idea was really as ridiculous as it was, The Republic of China has been in place for so long, and many places now seem to be inferior to the Manchurian emperor who was scolded so much that he was not a person inside and out.

Maybe Chang Zhenbang is right, if China wants to be self-reliant, it can't rely on these guys who think that it will naturally become rich and strong if it cedes those marginal areas, these people are powerful when they cut the land, no wonder so many people call Mr. Sun Cannon, and now there is still some truth in it. In fact, his initial dislike of Mr. Sun also began with the Nanjing Council's request to change the presidential system to the cabinet system, and it was just a private struggle for Mr. Sun's greed for power, why only Mr. Sun could be the president of the presidential system, and Yuan Shikai could only be the president of the cabinet system?

Oops, when did you start having this wrong thought? Could it be that he was really thinking about what the person in charge said, he had been an official under Chang Zhenbang for a long time, and he was slowly corrupted by him, and when he was puzzled, someone behind him suddenly held him up with a pistol and said: "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, the person in charge said, you are not in a good mental state now, let us protect you closely!" ”

Zhang Tianzheng was completely desperate at this time, he sat on a grease-stained bench in the workshop decadently, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw them on the table like garbage, and said: "All the keys to the workshop are here, you can get whatever you need!" I'm afraid I'm tired, please allow me to sleep for a while. With that, he twisted himself on the bench, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep softly after a while.

Although he was asleep, three revolvers were pointed at him in front of him, and if he moved, these people would mercilessly deal with this former comrade, who in their eyes had lost his enthusiasm and vigor for innovation.

A figure walked over from Zhang Tianzheng's head, picked up the key on the table, and said, "I'll find a blanket to cover Brother Zhang later, don't let him catch a cold." After speaking, he left two people to look at Zhang Tianzheng, and led the others to walk quickly to the warehouses where guns and ammunition were stored, the time was very tight, and they had no time to delay.

With a bang, the warehouse dedicated to storing guns and ammunition was brutally opened by these people, and looking at the sealed wooden boxes of ammunition one by one, the faces of these people bloomed with joyful smiles.

"Quickly move all these things out as much as possible, and when those revolutionary comrades are transferred from the British Concession, we can do a big job! Tomorrow, the gold, silver, treasure, beauties, and beauties in Jiujiang City will have a few if they want a few! ”

"I heard that Chang Zhenbang, the wife of the dog official, is an unruly person, do you think he will be our sister-in-law!" A man said.

"Unruly women are on top, what do you want to do so much! I'm not afraid of getting willow disease! Another man said with some displeasure.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the side, and the man said cautiously: "Who?" ”

"Me!" A voice came from behind him. The man instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, and then found that he didn't seem to know this person, and he didn't have time to wait for him, so he made a warning, and a sharp knife slashed his neck, and the whole person spread on the ground without making a sound, and then was pulled out.

"You kid shouldn't think about women going crazy, do you!" The other man still laughed and said, but no one replied for a long time, he turned his head, but found a young face smiling at him, and before he could do anything, a knife stabbed him in the mouth, and his body fell on the other man.

"Brother Ant has received an award for meritorious service this time, and a second lieutenant liaison is indispensable." The dark shadow in front of him said softly.

"Don't be verbose, if this credit was so good, that guy Yanzi would have become an emperor a long time ago!" The black shadow behind said mockingly: "It's hard to say this official, but the reward of five oceans still has to be had!" The two whispered, and suddenly the ant hand was horizontal, and as soon as his body turned, one person fell into his arms, and was gently dragged aside by him and said: "A five-person person, Lao Tzu killed four, just wait for your kid to take the bait, you kid is really sensible!" ”

"Brother Ant is very skilled!" The dark shadow couldn't help but praise.

"What is this, just hurry up and work, save a while and kill again." As he spoke, the ant took the black shadow into the ammunition warehouse and poured it upside down, and it took a long time to regain his composure.

After the Dongying people in the British Concession of Jiujiang had the lessons of the last time, they strictly encircled those reformers who came to join them in a single villa, and set up a sentry at the door, lest these people go out to make trouble again and cause great trouble, you must know that the last trouble has not been dealt with until now, and the British consul Basili used the topic to make the extremely inflated Dongying power in the Jiujiang Concession after the Republic of China shrink to the state before the emperor's abdication again, this result is something that the Dongying people do not like to see. However, the British Empire's stupid big black thick tree and deep roots are by no means something that the new Dongying Empire can compete with, so I had to swallow my anger like an angry little daughter-in-law and agreed to Brazil's conditions, if it weren't for the use of five machine tools as bait to take away Chang Zhenbang's relationship, the Dongying Consulate didn't know what could be built, so after the reformers came this time, Dongying's Ono Consul, Takekawa Yukiei was very cautious, after all, no one wanted to have an unnecessary conflict on the eve of a certain strength.

When the person in charge of the reform was determined to launch an armed uprising to recover Jiujiang City, Shiro Ono and Yukiei Takekawa were almost stunned, although they knew that these reformers were willing to sell anything for the sake of power, but they didn't expect to be able to try such a reckless plan, I really don't know if they should be dissuaded not to be stupid, but if these people are clear-minded, how can they give all the unexpected places in the thirteen provinces to the people of Dongying? This is really a pair of insoluble contradictions.

Yukio Takekawa said gloomily: "Your Excellency Ono, I think this operation is a bit reckless!" ”

Ono Shiro said: "But these people are not badly considered, now that most of the Jiujiang Army has gone out to quell the civil unrest, they are sure to rebel against Chang Zhenbang's secret ammunition factory, and this time the success is still nine out of ten." ”

"As long as Chang Zhenbang is still alive, it is impossible for them to occupy Jiujiang City!"

"How long the reformers can occupy Jiujiang City is not a matter of concern to us, what we care about is the interests of the empire, as long as they can divide an area as the concession of the empire after occupying Jiujiang City, as long as there is this fact, Your Excellency will let the current central government of China recognize the interests of the empire in Jiujiang, after all, Mr. Yuan Shikai wants to be the emperor, and he still needs the strong support of the empire. His Excellency Wu Chuan's task now was to draw up a document that would be recognized by the Chinese government and that would satisfy the interests of the Empire in Jiujiang to the greatest extent possible without infringing on the interests of the British Empire. Shiro Ono said with a wicked smile

Wu Chuan Xingying immediately bowed and said, "Your Excellency the Consul is very wise, I will arrange it now." ”

This time, Wuchuan's arrangement was still to use sampans to transport the reformers out of the British concession by waterway, and the sampans that they had no choice but to find were very small, and they could only escort three or four at a time, even if the boatman was familiar with the road, it took two hours to transport the last batch of reformers away, just when Ono Shiro and Takekawa Yukiei breathed a sigh of relief, which person in charge of Jiujiang issued a slogan to take Jiujiang at all costs, and then went back to the British concession along the waterway and found their heads.

This made them almost incomprehensible, the enemy and the enemy had not yet fought, and the victory or defeat was not yet known, how could the general hide first? It's almost unimaginable in their country, but it's in China, a magical country. As soon as they arranged the commander-in-chief on the front foot, someone came to tell him on the back foot that Chang Zhenbang and the British consul Basiri both came to the door to ask for a meeting!
