December 25, 1911

The gongs and drums of Wusong Wharf in Shanghai were noisy, the enthusiasm of the people blew away the cold wind, and with a whistle, the pilot ship took a white French cruise ship to the wharf. The noisy crowd was immediately detonated, countless magnesium lights flashed, firecrackers, gongs and drums shook the sky, and the cheering crowd applauded thunderously.

The 500 soldiers of the revolutionary army who were carefully selected lined up in two columns with strict military appearances, the officers' riding boots shining, and the clanging of swords. The steamers on the Huangpu River, whether they are Huayang, have raised colorful flags. The wharf was crowded with people from all walks of life in bright colors.

Huang Xing, who left Wuchang gloomily, Wu Tingfang and Song Jiaoren, who returned from Hong Kong, and representatives from various provinces were among them, and of course, Chen Yingshi, the newly released governor of the Shanghai army, and his little brothers.

When a middle-aged man in a straight suit and a top hat stepped down from the deck of the ship, the entire Wusong Wharf suddenly seemed like a crazy demon, hats and streamers flew all over the sky, magnesium lights flashed repeatedly, and people's emotions suddenly reached the highest point.

Sun Wen! The name seems to be magical!

At that time, it was called the head of the "Four Great Kou" by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the southern provinces were plastered with notices to arrest the thief Sun Wen. After 30 years of fighting against the imperial court, he launched uprisings again and again that seemed futile to outsiders, and finally the first gunshot of Wuchang City, the behemoth of the Manchu Qing Dynasty collapsed!

Ten years after being wanted by the Manchus, this was the first time Sun Wen returned to China, and a press conference was held on the pier. A reporter asked loudly: "When Mr. Sun returned from traveling in Europe and the United States, did he bring back a huge sum of money to support the revolution?" ”

Sun Wen smiled and opened the empty pocket, and said with a smile: "I returned to China this time, and I didn't bring back a penny, let alone a bullet, and the only person I carried was the revolutionary spirit!" ”

The crowd was overwhelmed by his humor and demeanor, and then erupted in deafening cheers, and Sun Wen was like a magnet, firmly attracting all the hot-blooded men who were committed to overthrowing the Manchu Qing to his side.

In the cheering crowd, there were also discordant voices, Tao Chengzhang looked at Sun Wen who was talking eloquently, and said disdainfully: "If you don't change your words, our 'prime minister' is still the same!" ”

Everyone else thought that Sun Wen's words were jokes, but they knew that Sun Wen probably didn't bring back a dime. The southern provinces of Reading Power have been exhausted, and the treasury of Wuchang, Changsha, Nanchang, etc. The southern provinces add up to more than 400,000 people's troops, and they have to gnaw down a mountain of gold every day just for food!

Overseas Chinese and Guangdong and other provinces hoped that the revolution would continue, and the revolutionary army immediately went on a northern expedition to defeat Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army in one fell swoop. But how do they know how many of these 400,000 civilian troops are really combative? Not to mention that everyone is thinking carefully, who wants to fight to the death with the Beiyang Army? Even if these civilian armies are willing to go to the front line, where will the food, grass, and ammunition come from?

In the future, it will definitely not be as relaxed as Sun Wen's expression!

Standing next to Tao Chengzhang was Gao Ming, the envoy of Anhui, who also sank in his heart and sighed. Zhang Taiyan on the side smiled bitterly. Wuchang Li Yuanhong's characteristic Gao Chuguan still had a smile on his face, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

The Communist Association and the Restoration Association were originally branches of the League, but later they relied too much on the League but did not launch a new army, and did not dare to revolt in the Yangtze River Valley after taking the old road of the "corner revolution" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom first taking the two Guangzhous and then going down to Hunan, and felt very dissatisfied, so Jiao Dafeng and other talents set up another door, and now the provinces have read their strength, and the revolutionary situation is very good, so the Communists and the Liberation Society have rejoined the League.

Zhang Taiyan and Tao Chengzhang didn't feel anything wrong, in their eyes, Sun Wen, the "prime minister" of the League, was still the spiritual leader of the revolutionaries...

Let's negotiate peace, only Yuan Shikai can end the current chaos in China, as long as he is sure to overthrow the Manchu Qing, let him be the president!

Sun Wen, presumably he won't have any objections, right?

Zhang Taiyan, Tao Chengzhang, Gao Chuguan, Gao Ming, the four of them thought of each other almost at the same time. It's just that Gao Ming and Gao Chuguan remembered the future of their benefactors Chai Dongliang and Li Yuanhong at the same time.

In the future political axe, how should the positions of these two be placed?

"Is my brother alright? When Nanjing was recovered, the sailor really made a great contribution! It was during the war that I lost that gold watch, which made me feel distressed! Tao Chengzhang said with a smile.

Gao Ming was wandering outside the world, and when he woke up, he was also busy laughing: "Most of the governors are very good, but they are too busy, and the governors said that they will visit you in a few days!" ”

"Well, let him get me a pocket watch when he comes, it's really indispensable to fight, he is a rich man, which one will you knock if you don't knock him?" Tao Chengzhang scratched his bald head and smiled like a child, his eyes were as clear as water.

Gao Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly, Chai Dongliang once said to himself that Tao Chengzhang is a hero, he can only be used to overthrow the old world, but he must not participate in politics, the enemy's open gun can't kill him, but the comrade's secret arrow is likely to kill him!

"Huan Gong, you must pay attention to your own safety! You must bring the guards when you go out, and you can't be alone like this anymore! Gao Ming comforted.

Zhang Taiyan also nodded: "Huanqing, you really want to change the surname of this lone ranger!" ”

Tao Chengzhang said nonchalantly: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is already surviving, and there are only a few days to live!" After the battle, I will be disarmed and return to the field, who will plot to kill a farmer? You're worried! ”

Gao Ming saw that he didn't listen to persuasion, and wanted to say something more, but Gao Chuguan gently tugged the corner of his clothes, so he had to swallow the words on his lips again, and sighed secretly.

In the Governor's Mansion of the Shanghai Army, Chen Ying roared angrily: "Sir, don't listen to Tao Chengzhang, a red guy, slander me, what kind of wishful thinking is he playing, Allah is not refreshed?" ”

Sun Wen didn't care about his attitude, and said with a gentle smile: "Its beauty, be cautious!" Huanqing is a revolutionary comrade, and his qualifications and contributions are above you, so pay attention to what you say! ”

After Tao Chengzhang saw Sun Wen, he captured Chen Yingshi, and then was rescued by Li Xiehe. Sun Wen then summoned Chen Yingshi and asked him to explain the situation.

These troubles were turned over, and when he was in the book, Tao Chengzhang once reprimanded Chen Yingshi in person, asking him to check his private life!

New hatred and old hatred add up, no wonder Chen Yingshi is angry!

Chen Yingshi consciously lost his words, took a breath to calm down before saying: "Sir, Tao Chengzhang has been running around Jiangsu, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Wuhu recently, and he is trying to win over all forces everywhere!" Now that he and Li Yuanhong are fighting hotly, he has to engage in the central political axe in Wuchang, and he has bowed to Chai Dongliang, a powerful faction in Anhui, what is he going to do? He's trying to overhead Mr. ”

Sun Wen didn't answer, stirred the coffee with a spoon, and muttered, "Chai Dongliang? What a strange name! I read the newspaper in Hong Kong, and among the governors of all provinces, he was the first to send a telegram to the whole country and support me to return to China to take charge of the government."

Chen Yingshi was still angry: "This guy didn't know where he came from, he took Wuhu with two duck eggs, and then speculated on the revolution with the name of Mr. Now it's hot with Tao Chengzhang and Li Yuanhong! Gao Ming, the representative sent by Chai Dongliang, and Gao Chuguan, the representative of Li Yuanhong, are brothers of the same mother! This man is very cunning, don't believe his nonsense, sir! ”

Sun Wen stirred the coffee with a spoon, white milk foam floated up from the brown liquid, and he smiled and said, "Its beauty, your problem is that you can't tolerate people!" Chai Dongliang and Li Yuanhongken joined the revolution, that is comrade! What to say about the speculative revolution? I don't like to hear that word! Not to mention that Chai Dongliang and Li Yuanhong are comrades in raising troops against the Qing Dynasty, if Yuan Shikai is willing to force the Qing Dynasty to abdicate, then he is also our comrade, and we must treat it sincerely! We can even let Yuan Shikai join the Alliance as our leader! ”

He said lightly, but Chen Yingshi was shocked when he heard it: "Mr. really plans to give way to Yuan Shikai?" ”

Sun Wen took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "I'm just an ordinary citizen now, how can I talk about giving way?" I have exchanged views with Huang Keqiang, Tao Huanqing, Zhang Binglin and other comrades, as long as Yuan Shikai can support the republic, after the establishment of the Republic of China, we will elect him as the president! ”

"Sir! How can you give up your 30 years of hard work and hard work! Chen Yingshi's face turned white.

Sun Wen waved his hand and said categorically: "The blood of my compatriots has flowed enough, and I can't bleed anymore!" ”
