――――

At the end of June, Fujian was about to have a summer harvest, and Xia Jun had to leave the barracks to prepare for the summer harvest.

At this moment, Yuan Shikai sent a subordinate to Jian'an, holding a letter written by Yuan Shikai, saying that it would be handed over to the leader of the Autonomous Party.

In order to cope with the arrival of the Xinhai Revolution, Xia Jun felt that it was time to contact Yuan Shikai, and in April there was the Huanghuagang Uprising of the League in Guangdong, and after the failure of this uprising, the League was already in name only.

At this time, Sun Dacang was criticized by public opinion, and Liang Qichao opposed violent revolution. Seeing that the revolutionaries had been defeated and defeated again and again, he wrote an article in Xinmin Cong Bao criticizing the leaders of the revolutionary party: "If you deceive others to death, you will enjoy high-rise buildings and mansions, but you are just 'long-distance revolutionaries'."

The phrase "long-distance revolutionary" suddenly became the "symbol" of the leaders of the League: with the revolutionary words as a call, inciting the children of others to die, you leaders are still alive and well abroad, so many uprisings, why don't you yourself go to the battlefield? So many people died, why didn't you have anything to do? This accusation is really terrible!

Moreover, because Sun Cannon's behavior was not very disciplined, because the embezzlement of public funds caused internal contradictions, the three major organizations of the League had already parted ways.

The Xinhai Revolution in the original history had little to do with the League.

The reason why the alliance has been defeated and defeated again and again, this has to mention Yuan Shikai, most of the members of the alliance who returned to China visited Yuan Shikai in Anyang, Henan, and Yuan Shikai gave him a lot of money.

Yuan Shikai's actions caused constant riots in South China, to say that the biggest hero of the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai was the primary figure who contributed to the success of the revolution, of course, Yuan Shikai is indeed a careerist, this is undeniable.

Xia Jun met with the subordinates sent by Yuan Shikai, and the subordinates sent by Yuan Shikai handed over the letter to Xia Jun, and also sent ten pieces of gold, one weighing fifty taels.

Xia Jun naturally didn't take this little money to heart, and Yuan Shikai didn't say anything in the letter, but just said hello to Xia Jun, and at the same time praised Xia Jun.

Xia Jun couldn't help but smile after reading the letter, so he also wrote a letter and asked the person to hand it over to Yuan Shikai.

In the letter, Xia Jun did not shy away from saying that he would openly oppose the Qing Dynasty in October, and promised Yuan Shikai that as long as Yuan Shikai helped overthrow the Manchu political axe, he could be elected president.

The president of the Republic of China, this once coveted throne, but in the later stage of the Beiyang warlords, no one dared to sit in this position.

Wang Shizhen said: If you want to harm people, let him be president.

When you become the president, you have to donate money from time to time, this is still a trivial matter, and the most serious problem is that any messy and confused accounts will be counted on the president's head, and the warlords during the Republic of China period, the president basically has no real power, but has become the focus of attention of various forces.

The president of the Republic of China can be said to have come to power in turns, first Yuan Shikai, then Li Yuanhong, then Feng Guozhang, then Li Yuanhong, Li Yuanhong followed by Xu Shichang, Xu Shichang followed by Cao Kun, no one dared to be the president after Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin just hung the name of a generalissimo.

Whoever becomes the president, none of them will end well, Xia Jun is naturally not stupid enough to run away to be some bullshit president, Xia Jun promised Yuan Shikai to be the president, but it is just to stabilize Yuan Shikai according to the original historical development.

June 28, 13:23.

A torpedo boat patrolling in Sam Sha O suddenly saw two black dots in the distance through the telescope, and the captain immediately ordered to get closer and observe.

Soon, two warships appeared in front of the soldiers of the torpedo boat.

"If you find this warship, report it to the port immediately." The captain immediately ordered that they were only torpedo boats, and it was not enough to resist the warship.

"Report to the sir, our ship has found two warships in Sansha'ao, please instruct." The soldiers on the torpedo boat reported to the port with a high-power radiophone.

"Return immediately, and lay mines in Guanjingyang." The naval command received the news that Zhou Xiulong ordered the torpedo boat, hung up the phone, and Zhou Xiulong sounded the alarm.

A hurried alarm sounded at the port, and Zhou Xiulong immediately called the general headquarters.

"What? The FΓΌhrer is not there? ”

"Where did you go? I don't know? Oh well! ”

Zhou Xiulong hung up the phone depressedly, since he couldn't ask for instructions, then follow what the head of state ordered before!

"All the submarines go out with me." Zhou Xiulong ordered.

"Yes." The submarine commanders replied.

"Let's go." Zhou Xiulong waved his hand and took the lead and ran out of the command room.

The soldiers were already on standby in the submarine, and the submarine commanders boarded the submarine, and the six submarines immediately sailed out of the military port in a V-shaped array.

By the time they arrived at Guanjingyang, ten torpedo boats had already laid rows of mines in Guanjingyang, which were strung together with ropes in order to be recovered.

"Twenty meters down." Zhou Xiulong ordered.

"Twenty meters down."

"Twenty meters down ......"

The six submarines descended slowly, and then passed through the minelaying area in a submerged state.

The second ship of the Navy's 7th Sentai Force, the Hashidate and Itsukushima, had already sailed out of the harbor, and as soon as the six submarines left Guanjingyang, they immediately saw in the periscope the Hashidate and Itsukushima approaching the entrance to the harbor.

Zhou Xiulong observed the situation and immediately made a judgment that the two warships obviously wanted to enter the harbor, and they were at the exit of the harbor, just in time to set up an ambush formation, and then immediately notified the other five submarines to let them enter the intended attack position.

The two warships were unaware of this, they received the order to attack Ningde three days ago, and they did not pay attention to it, according to intelligence, the other side only had ten torpedo boats, although the Hashidate and Itsukushima had been demoted to second-class cruisers, but it was easy to deal with torpedo boats.

In such an unguarded state, the two warships sailed towards Zhou Xiulong's ambush area......
