On 17 October, the Fujian Provisional Fourth Division marched all the way to the boundary of Hangzhou, and on the same day the Fourth Division fired a large number of propaganda bombs into the city of Hangzhou.

The leaflets were full of persuasions to the officers and men of the 21st Provisional Formation to surrender, in which they were promised that those who surrendered would be recruited as appropriate, and those who failed to meet the requirements for inclusion would be given no less than 5 silver dollars.

Two hours after the propaganda bombs were fired, the officers and men of the 10th Provisional Town in Hangzhou did not have their avatars, so the 4th Fujian Provisional Division immediately launched an attack on Hangzhou.

The ferocious shells blasted open the city wall of Hangzhou in only ten minutes, and then the Fourth Division poured into the city like a tide, and as soon as the Fourth Division rushed into the city of Hangzhou, the officers and men of the 21st Town in it quickly defected, and they could not surrender because they were pressed by the bullets of their superiors, and many of the officers in these new armies had been exposed to revolutionary ideas.

The newly appointed governor of Fujian and Zhejiang saw that something was wrong, and immediately fled from the north gate with a thin softness, and the fourth division conquered Hangzhou after a fierce battle in Hangzhou for half a day.

The Fifth Provisional Division, which attacked Jiangxi, also hit Jiujiang on the 17th, and the Jiujiang defenders immediately defected, and Jiujiang was declared to have been conquered.

On the 18th, Xia Jun once again telegraphed the whole country, announcing that Zhejiang Reading Power and joining the East China Autonomous Political Axe at the same time.

On the same day, the consulates of various countries in Hankou declared their strict neutrality.

Because the Fifth Provisional Division invaded Jiangxi, on the 19th, the Nanchang New Army launched an uprising, and then telegraphed the whole country, Jiangxi Reading Power!

The Nanchang rebel army only occupied one city in Nanchang, and at this time Xia Jun's fifth provisional division had already conquered Shangrao, Yingtan, Jingdezhen, and Jiujiang.

When the news reached Jian'an, Chen Xuanyu hurriedly called Xia Jun to ask for instructions: "Report to the chairman, Nanchang has read hard, can we still fight?" ”

"Let the 5th Division stop the offensive and garrison the conquered territory." Xia Jun said to Chen Xuanyu, at this time, Jiangxi reads power, and if he attacks again, it will be easy to attract criticism, Xia Jun's pursuit of the territory at this time is still very rational, after all, he has no administrative staff in his hands, and the expansion of the territory is too large and easy to mess.

The goal of attacking Jiangxi has been achieved, and Xia Jun has obtained a route into the waterway of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, the territory occupies too much, and it is easy to become the current up-and-coming bird, and it will not be good to be boycotted by the provinces when the time comes. However, the territory he laid down by hand could not be ceded, and he had to swallow the counties of Jiujiang and Jingdezhen.

"Chairman, our troops are a little insufficient! If the Fourth Division had gone north to capture Shanghai as planned, there would still be one and a half counties in Zhejiang that had not been captured. Chen Xuanyu said to Xia Jun.

"Then send the 3rd Division north." Xia Jun said that the first division must not move, and the second division must also stay with the first division to defend Fujian, after all, it is said that it occupies Taiwan and may send troops at any time.

Soon Zhang Sigou received an order and began to wave his army north to attack the county towns in Zhejiang, while the fourth provisional division continued to go north and attack the county seat of Shanghai.

The 4th Provisional Division soon went north and conquered Jiaxing on the 19th.

On the evening of the 19th, the sound of revolutionary gunfire sounded in Shanghai, and the Jian'an Reading Battalion had an incident in Shanghai, and the Jian'an Reading Battalion had already made full preparations for the sudden incident, but the officers and soldiers in Shanghai were not prepared, and they were soon captured by the Jian'an Reading Battalion in the Shanghai Vault, and the Jian'an Reading Battalion found piles of silver in the Shanghai Vault, and because there was no time to count them, I don't know how many of them were.

And when they captured the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau, they encountered a bit of trouble, and there was a group of Qing troops who were stubbornly defending the Manufacturing Bureau, and they refused to give up resistance no matter how much they persuaded them to surrender.

To this end, the Jian'an Reading Battalion fired dozens of grenades at the defenders in the manufacturing bureau with grenadiers, and then attacked the manufacturing bureau of the Shanghai bureau under the cover of firepower, and wiped out all the defenders in the manufacturing bureau at dawn.

That night, Chen Qimei and other members of the alliance also joined the ranks of the uprising, and gunfire broke out in Shanghai County, and when Chen Qimei led his troops to the vault, he found that the vault had already been occupied.

The Jian'an Reading Battalion set up temporary fortifications in the vault, and the two sides were somewhat tense in the face of the Shanghai rebels surrounded by them.

Chen Qimei sent personnel to negotiate with the Jian'an Reading Battalion, demanding that they withdraw from the vault and that the cash in the treasury should be divided equally, while the Jian'an Reading Battalion set up several machine guns smuggled into Shanghai and refused Chen Qimei's request on the spot.

Chen Qimei was very ruthless, and in the face of the real money in the vault, Chen Qimei could not resist the temptation, and ordered the Shanghai rebel army to attack the vault on the spot. The Jian'an Reading Battalion stationed in the vault immediately blocked it with heavy machine guns, and as soon as the heavy machine guns opened fire, they immediately swept down a piece of the Shanghai rebel army, and the Shanghai rebel army learned that there were machine guns hidden in the vault, and immediately retreated.

At this moment, gunshots were heard outside the county seat of Shanghai, and the gunfire was very intensive.

It turned out that a brigade of the Fourth Provisional Division of Fujian had already reached Shanghai, and in the early morning of 20 July, the 08th Brigade of the Fourth Provisional Division entered the county seat of Shanghai.

At this time, the battle in Shanghai was over, but there was a Shanghai rebel army led by Chen Qimei and others in Shanghai, and after the Fujian Fourth Provisional Division entered the county seat, it was learned from the Jian'an Reading Battalion that they were attacked by the Shanghai rebel army, and the 09 brigade immediately launched an attack on the Shanghai rebel army.

Anyway, they hit first, and if they want to fight, they will continue to fight!

The Shanghai Rebel Army was formed by the armed forces of gang forces and chambers of commerce, and there was no unified organization, and Chen Qimei represented the gang forces.

The armed forces of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce immediately negotiated with the 09 Brigade, in which they expressed their willingness to remain neutral and immediately withdrew from the standoff. The 09 Brigade began to encircle and annihilate the gang forces led by Chen Qimei.

Chen Qimei never expected that the Fujian army would attack Shanghai so quickly, and the people were scattered in all directions, and Chen Qimei took advantage of the chaos to escape into the Shanghai Public Concession.

By 8 o'clock in the morning, the gunfire in Shanghai gradually subsided, and the 08th Brigade of the 4th Provisional Division successfully captured Shanghai.

Xia Jun received a report in Jian'an, and excitedly ordered the 08 Brigade: "Rest for half a day, give me ...... to attack Jiangsu"

Jiangsu is a province that Xia Jun attaches great importance to, Jiangsu is a cotton-producing land, and at the same time can also produce salt, and there is salt to make alkali, while Fujian and Zhejiang provinces have salt farms, but the coast is mostly sandy beaches, and salt water will leak.
