"Tao Gong, now that we occupy the land of Wu Chu, as long as we raise our arms and exhale, we will immediately be the trend of the world. Even if we don't love power, this founding work will definitely not be buried. The young man sitting opposite Tao Chengzhang said foaming at the mouth,

Even though he knew that this was outright nonsense, Tao Chengzhang still felt that it sounded very pleasant. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was the word "we" in this sentence, but Tao Chengzhang didn't criticize anything. Moving his body slightly, Tao Chengzhang changed to a more comfortable sitting position and continued to listen to the man.

In essence, Tao Chengzhang's cultivation will not indulge in flattery, but flattery can sometimes relieve people's pressure. The reality is too cruel, this is Tao Chengzhang's biggest feeling recently. When we are fighting hard for the revolution, we often see the high mountain of the revolution. After climbing this mountain with great difficulty, two different feelings came up at the same time, the cold at the height was certainly one of the feelings, and more importantly, countless extremely real problems mercilessly met them.

There are two things that matter more to any regime. One is food, and the other is money. The cadres of the Liberation Society and the troops of the Liberation Army had to eat, drink, and pay. Even if the senior cadres can sympathize with the current difficulties one by one, they should not be paid. But there are a few high-ranking cadres, and the little money saved is just a drop in the bucket for the current scale of the Liberation Society. Tao Chengzhang once thought that after the success of the revolution, the situation would be completely new, and even after experiencing the bitter lesson of no grain and no silver in Chizhou, Tao Chengzhang still felt that if it was in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places where the Liberation Society was based, the Liberation Society would be able to solve the problem of food and wages.

In fact, Tao Chengzhang was very disappointed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

There are several people who come to see Tao Chengzhang, and now Tao Chengzhang doesn't have to work hard to visit all over the place, and the number of people who take the initiative to see him every day is quite large, and he has to receive several people at the same time for each reception.

The young man who spoke just now greatly praised Xu Xilin, Tao Chengzhang knew the intention of this young man, and he smiled: "I know the intention of Zhao Gongzi, since Zhao Gongzi supports the revolution so much, then there should be no problem with the money and grain in Zhuang at the end of this year." On behalf of the Restoration Society, I would like to thank Zhao Gongzi. ”

Listening to Tao Chengzhang's words, Zhao Gongzi opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak. Not only Zhao Gongzi, but also several people next to him also had a worried look. They were all landlords near Shaoxing, and the purpose of visiting Tao Chengzhang was to persuade Tao Chengzhang not to levy grain this year. Unexpectedly, Tao Chengzhang actually spoke first and told this question to death. The hearts of the people were full of astonishment and anger. But Tao Chengzhang is now the biggest "rebel" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they simply don't have the courage to resist in person. The rise of the Liberation Society was so fierce that these landlords and gentry could not have imagined it beforehand.

The People's Party posted a notice in Hangzhou, saying that on the third day after the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army completely annihilated the Third Town of Beiyang and the 13th Association of the New Army, the troops of the Liberation Society, which had been preparing for a long time in various places, immediately raised their flags and attacked the prefectures and counties of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Prior to this, the preparations for the rebellion of the Guangfuhui were almost open, and in Shaoxing, Zhuji, Yiwu, Jinhua, Lanxi and other places, the Guangfuhui army under the Guangfuhui recruited troops and horses, and constantly threatened the government and lobbied the Qing army in various places. In Shaoxing, the core area of the Restoration Society, the headquarters of the Liberation Society was located in the Datong School, which was not far from the Shaoxing Prefect's Yamen, and the Shaoxing Prefect Guifu did not dare to make any moves at all.

More than a month ago, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army broke the Hubei New Army, then crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Wuhu. The whole of Jiangnan was shaken. In 1907, when communications were extremely backward, except for a few large cities that had telegraphed and could still get relatively accurate information, the vast majority of the news received in other regions was rumors and rumors. Naturally, it was impossible for the landlords and gentry to get accurate war reports. What they saw with their own eyes was the completely open preparations for rebellion of the Liberation Society. In the face of these blatant preparations for rebellion, the local governments not only did not send troops to exterminate them, but they could not shrink back. It's exactly like a turtle with no tomorrow today. As for the officials and petty officials of the local government, as well as the soldiers in various places, they even entrusted people to get in touch with the Liberation Society as early as possible, so as not to be affected by the coming tide of rebellion.

The landlords did not know that under the deterrence of the People's Party, the troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were all massed towards the city where the governor was located, in order to deal with the People's Party, which God knew when it would come to fight. Hangzhou and other big cities are sensitive to news, the Hubei New Army attacked the People's Party's army in Hubei, and the People's Party, which annihilated the Hubei New Army, has begun to attack Wuhu. And the Beiyang army sent by the imperial court out of Xuzhou was fighting against the People's Party. This situation is not optimistic no matter how you look at it. Even if it was a matter of tradition, they had to gather forces to deal with the future of the war. The preparations for the rebellion of the Restoration Society, Hangzhou Governor Zeng Yun was very clear. He knew better that if the military campaign to exterminate the Restoration Society failed, then Zhejiang would immediately be the result of a complete discoloration. Hangzhou Governor Zeng Yun wanted to see the results of the Beiyang Army first, and if the Beiyang Army won, he could mobilize troops to deal with the Guangfu Society.

After the Beiyang Army was annihilated, and the results of Wang Shizhen and Duan Qirui's capture reached Hangzhou, Hangzhou Governor Zeng Yun was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, but he felt fortunate that he had gathered Zhejiang's troops and could hold Hangzhou. As for what would happen elsewhere, Hangzhou Governor Zeng Yun felt that the Beiyang Army had been wiped out, and the imperial court had no time to take care of itself.

The Liberation Society learned of the outcome of the war through its liaison with the People's Party, and they immediately launched an army to attack the various prefectures. It's not so much an attack as a reception. Tao Chengzhang still clearly remembered the situation at that time, when the "Liberation Army" formed by the Restoration Society rushed to Shaoxing with great momentum, no one resisted at all. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, as well as the officials and officials in Shaoxing, either hid without a trace, or simply defected to the Restoration Society.

When attacking the Yamen of the Shaoxing prefect, the trees had already fallen from the inside to the outside, and when they learned that the Restoration Society was going to enter the city, several small officials waited at the city gate early, and when they saw the photovoltaic army with a white belt wrapped around their heads, these people bowed over and trotted over and asked to lead the way. When the Guangfu army arrived at the gate of the prefect's yamen, the yamen was even more open. Shaoxing prefect Guifu has long since disappeared.

The Guangfu Society occupied a large area of territory in a few days, and the core of these territories was naturally Shaoxing City. With the experience in Chizhou, the ability of the Liberation Society to rectify local government affairs has improved a lot. Posting notices to reassure the people and restoring order in the local area, on the whole, there were no major problems. However, Tao Chengzhang's next plan to start collecting taxes in various places went viral, and the gentry, who had originally held a fear and a bystander attitude towards the "revolution", began to lobby for the door.

Most of the members of the Liberation Society were assembled under the banner of "anti-Qing." Tao Chengzhang did not know what Chen Ke had to say about the Liberation Society at the People's Party meeting, which Chen Ke regarded as "a group of anarchists, a group of quasi-reactionary forces demanding complete local autonomy from the landlords and gentry." If the anti-Qing standard is taken as the criterion, they can temporarily be relegated to the ranks of revolutionaries. From the point of view of the people's revolution, the Liberation Society is also quite reactionary. ”

Tao Chengzhang has never studied Grandpa Mao's thoughts, let alone what class struggle is. He did not have a scientific method of analysis of the class nature of the Restoration Society. However, Tao Chengzhang knew very well that within the Liberation Society, there were quite a few cadres who advocated that the government should not levy taxes on the local government. In the eyes of these people, after the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they could return to Jiangsu and Zhejiang and rule the countryside, whether it was the landlords, the gentry, or the leaders of the guilds and the party leaders of the local guilds, each of them occupied their own one-third of an acre of land and managed it well.

The purpose of the Restoration Society is to "recover the Han nationality, return my rivers and mountains, promise the country with my body, and retire with success." In this regard, the leaders of the Liberation Society were telling the truth, they had already believed that after the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China would become strong and the new Chinese government would no longer continue to lose power and humiliate the country. As for what New China is like, the Liberation Council has no real consideration at all. Anyway, by then, the Liberation Council will have already gone home to play self-government, and as long as the new government does not affect their own interests, the Liberation Council will not be willing, or they will not be able to consider what a new government should look like.

If it weren't for the dismal business in Chizhou for a few months, if it hadn't been for the dismal end of the once powerful Yue Wang Hui, Tao Chengzhang would still think so. But after becoming a family and knowing how hard it is to govern the place, Tao Chengzhang has to face terrible practical problems.

Relying on the food and money obtained from the government treasury, the 10,000 people of the Guangfu Army themselves will be able to sit and eat in less than a year. As for the war, the food and salary of the Liberation Army could not last for three months at all. If the tax system belonging to the new government of the Restoration Society cannot be quickly established, the performance of the Restoration Society will not be much better than that of the Yue Wang Society.

Tao Chengzhang was thinking about how to build this system, but he heard the elder of the several local gentry who came to visit this time say: "Tao Gong, the national tax burden is taken from the people and used by the people. When I heard Tao Gong talk about these things before, I thought it was true. Now the people do not say that they are not clothed and that they are not hungry. Livelihood is also quite difficult, and the regime of the Liberation Society has just been established, and it is time to win the hearts and minds of the people, even if they do not open warehouses to release grain, they will delay the collection of taxes for at least one year. That's what the New Deal looks like. ”

These words greatly stimulated Tao Chengzhang, and in Chizhou, Tao Chengzhang had heard exactly the same gentry advice. These people are all high-sounding when they talk about the truth, but in fact, they have only one purpose inside, "no food, no taxes".

"Ladies and gentlemen, listening to your words, I think you are all supporting the revolution." Tao Chengzhang sneered.

The gentry were silent one by one, they were all big families in Shaoxing, and they had to come to negotiate with Tao Chengzhang at this time. In fact, these people all know that Tao Chengzhang will definitely extort a sum of money from them. At this time, it seems that it is time for Tao Chengzhang to speak.

Tao Chengzhang glanced at everyone, and then said: "Now the Manchu Qing may send troops to fight in the blink of an eye, brother, if I can't withstand the siege of the Manchus, then I'm sorry for the revolution, and I'm sorry for the tens of thousands of revolutionary comrades who followed me." Since you support the revolution, I would like to discuss with you how much you should contribute to the revolution. Let's set a number. Of course, brother, I will not take your money in vain, and this money and grain will be deducted from your taxes next year. ”

After hearing this, the landlords and gentry were no longer silent, but their faces were like ashes.

The headquarters of the Liberation Society was set up in the Yamen of the Shaoxing Prefect, and those gentry were sent away, and Tao Chengzhang returned to the front hall with a gloomy face. Unlike Tao Chengzhang, the cadres of the Restoration Society who came in and out were still happy and full of energy. The uprising was too easy, the Manchus were like a broken house, and the Restoration Society only kicked it, and half of the Manchu control in Zhejiang collapsed. The people of the Liberation Congregation worked in the Yamen of the Shaoxing Prefect's Office, and they went out to do things up and down, and the people in the city all looked up to everyone, and this kind of high pleasure could not be described in words.

"Huanqing, how are you talking?" Xu Xilin is the most experienced veteran cadre in the Restoration Society, and he is not as carried away as other young cadres.

Tao Chengzhang didn't answer, he looked at the people in the room, frowned and asked, "Why didn't anyone come?" I said that I asked everyone to have a meeting, but I just delayed for a while, so I can't wait for such a little time? ”

Everyone looked at Tao Chengzhang, but their faces were not very good-looking. Tao Chengzhang was very smart, and he quickly understood the meaning of this face. Tao Chengzhang's eyes widened, "Haven't the few people who aren't here come yet?" ”

No one dared to answer, this silence had proved that Tao Chengzhang's judgment was correct, Tao Chengzhang looked left and right, his forehead was almost bruised, "Send someone to tell these people now, they won't use it in the future." ”

The young cadres were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, and the young people who had a good relationship with the few people who didn't come all looked at Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin, these two people are cadres whose status is only higher than Tao Chengzhang, if they persuade Tao Chengzhang, Tao Chengzhang can't refute the face of the two. But Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin were also dissatisfied, and they had no intention of persuading at all.

Tao Chengzhang didn't care about these people anymore, he waved his hand, "Everyone, is there no news from the Jiangnan New Army?" ”

Zhang Xun sent the green battalion to block the four gates of Nanjing, and when he saw that he had no braids, he immediately arrested him as a revolutionary party, and it is said that many people's heads were cut off. In the Jiangnan New Army, there was a large-scale search and arrest. Many of our comrades were arrested. The cadre in charge of liaising with the Jiangnan New Army replied.

The failure to plot against the Jiangnan New Army was a great setback in the Restoration Society's plan. In the original plan, the Liberation Society thought that it could easily plot against the Jiangnan New Army and then seize Nanjing. After the rebellious Jiangnan New Army was incorporated into the Guangfu Army, the brigade went straight to Hangzhou, and the whole of Zhejiang could be captured.

However, the progress of the matter was completely unsatisfactory, and no matter how much the lobbyists of the Liberation Society and the members of the Liberation Society who infiltrated the interior of the Forces nouvelles lobbied, and how much the people in the Forces nouvelles were excited, the uprising could not be launched at all. Finally, the members of the Liberation Society within the New Army decided to revolt, but this time was postponed twice. The reason for the two postponements was very simple, Zhang Xun gave a reward to the Jiangnan New Army before sending troops, so the originally enthusiastic New Army felt embarrassed. Zhang Xun returned to Jiangnan and went to Wuhu, and the People's Party troops immediately withdrew and returned to Anhui. Since there was no war, the Jiangnan New Army felt that the People's Party was nothing great, and the enthusiasm for the uprising was greatly reduced. Moreover, the day of military salaries was approaching, and the revolutionary officers and soldiers in the new army hoped that they would be able to receive an extra month's salaries.

As a result, as soon as the New Army returned to Nanjing, Zhang Xun immediately mobilized the Green Battalion to monitor the New Army, and killed the "revolutionary party" in Nanjing. The revolutionary situation immediately entered a freezing point. Tao Chengzhang couldn't understand why the well-equipped and well-trained New Army could be overwhelmed by the Green Battalion, which was far inferior in number and combat capability to the New Army. As long as these new armies can fight back, Jiangnan will completely change color. But just for the sake of two salaries, these officers can look ahead and look backwards, and now not only can the revolution not be launched, but they are afraid that they themselves will not be able to protect themselves.

Tao Chengzhang stood up and hung a large map in the conference hall. This is one of the materials that the People's Party has supported for the Liberation Society, and he pointed to the map, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth, "The Jiangnan New Army is in Nanjing, and part of the green battalion in Zhejiang is in Hangzhou." If they send troops, how are we going to deal with them? ”

No one answered this question. It's not that these cadres don't dare to fight, they just face this situation and don't know what to do. After a while, Qiu Jin stepped forward, "Huanqing, let me lead the Guangfu Army to attack Hangzhou." ”

With Qiu Jin taking the lead, several cadres responsible for training the Liberation Army also stood up and said, "We will attack Hangzhou with Commander Qiu. ”

Tao Chengzhang shook his head slightly, he knew that the photovoltaic army was not equipped with rifles now, and thousands of people could not fight Hangzhou at all with rifles. "What do you think, Bosun?" Tao Chengzhang asked Xu Xilin.

Hearing Tao Chengzhang's question, Xu Xilin directly threw out two options, one is that the Liberation Society will attack Hangzhou with all its might, and the other is to ask the People's Party to send troops.

The proposal caused a moment of silence in the chamber, when a man hurried in from outside. But it was a cadre who came late, and before he could stand firm, Tao Chengzhang broke off and shouted, "You give me out!" The man still wanted to argue, but Tao Chengzhang ordered him to stand outside the door without saying a word. Everyone didn't dare to persuade them, and the cadres who came late didn't dare to scold Tao Chengzhang, so they had to go and stand outside the door with a look of grievance.

Tao Chengzhang raised his eyes and looked at the map again, Hangzhou is in the center of Zhejiang Province, Shaoxing is in the south of Hangzhou, and the two cities are only 100 miles away. If the Liberation Society could not take Hangzhou, it would be impossible to march into northern Zhejiang. Not to mention Nanjing, which is located in the north of Hangzhou and close to the Yangtze River. However, if the Liberation Society does not attack Hangzhou, it will be able to reach Shaoxing in two or three days if it goes south in the green camp in Hangzhou. The current situation is not even on the side of the couch, it is simply a situation where the dagger is against the ribs.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a cadre of the Restoration Society muttering: "Why do Anhui people meddle in the affairs of our Zhejiang people." "It's not loud, but everyone can hear it.

Tao Chengzhang was shocked in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. The attitude of the Liberation Society towards the People's Party changed dramatically in the days after the Liberation Society's great success. This is what Tao Chengzhang did not expect.

The reason was that not long ago, Tao Chengzhang discussed with his comrades about taxation, and naturally mentioned the importance of money and food to the troops, and the young cadres lacked a financial concept, and they asked whether the People's Party's courage and good fighting were closely related to food and wages.

"Some people in the People's Party have money and guns, and there is no problem at all in running across Anhui. And King Yue, who rose up with the People's Party, had nothing after leaving Anqing City, and no amount of money could withstand that kind of flowering. Let's not talk about whether we can gather 10,000 people to recover the army, even if we do, we will have no food if we bring these people to the city of Nanjing. The one who spoke was a veteran cadre who had participated in the first Anqing campaign, and he was very clear about the situation in Anqing and Chizhou.

"Where does the BJP's food come from?"

"The People's Party seized all the landlords' land and divided it equally among the people. The new government of the People's Party is directly in charge of the villages, and the People's Party will be able to collect and distribute the grain that has been beaten down immediately. They certainly don't lack food. ”

Many of the cadres of the Liberation Society heard of such things for the first time, and a look of surprise and surprise appeared on the faces of these cadres. The People's Party's policy of completely eliminating the landlords caused a chill on the backs of most of the cadres in the Liberation Society. Most of them came from landlord and gentry families, if the People's Party occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then did this in Jiangsu and Zhejiang......

Thinking of this, many cadres of the Liberation Society shuddered.

"Our own affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, or we in Jiangsu and Zhejiang do it ourselves, and it may not be appropriate for Anhui people to meddle in the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Some cadres have already put forward their own views. This view was immediately endorsed by many cadres of the Liberation Society. The Liberation Society also had a policy of restricting land annexation, although this policy was not fully discussed, and was only the idea of Tao Chengzhang and others. The public could not directly oppose this kind of policy, so the evaluation of the People's Party became "the affairs of the Zhejiang people, and it is not the turn of the Anhui people to interfere." ”

As a matter of fact, most of the cadres of the Guangfuhui know that most of the main cadres of the People's Party are not from Anhui, they come from all over the country, and even many of the cadres of the People's Party are from Zhejiang at all. However, these cadres who opposed the People's Party's land policy preferred to subordinate the People's Party to the ranks of the Anhui people. The People's Party must not be allowed to carry out "land reform for the Anhui people" in Zhejiang, and this has become a very powerful consensus in the Liberation Committee. Even in the face of the current crisis situation, these cadres of the Liberation Society were first and foremost instinctively opposed to the People's Party's intervention in the revolutionary affairs of Zhejiang.

Qiu Jin did not have such strong opposition, she had been to the People's Party base area. In the eyes of Zhejiang people, Anhui is a poor place, and what Qiu Jin has seen and heard, the livelihood of the people in the base area is generally much better. The revolution did not cause any losses to the people in the base areas, and the People's Party also controlled local tax revenues through land reform, which directly solved the problem of food and wages. Although Qiu Jin is not ready to carry out land reform in Zhejiang, Qiu Jin does not think that Anhui is a flood beast.

"It's not a bad thing for us to ask the People's Party to attack Hangzhou together. The People's Party is also quite reasonable, as long as it is discussed in advance, they will not stay in Zhejiang. Qiu Jin actually wanted the brave and warlike People's Party to participate in this war. With the annihilation of the remnants of the Beiyang Army, the green battalion in Hangzhou was naturally vulnerable, and it was feared that the Jiangnan New Army in Nanjing would also revolt.

"As far as I know, King Yue will also raise troops with the People's Party, where will King Yue be now? It's gone. We cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past. The opponents' views are also very supportive, and the Yue Wang Society, known as the 100,000 congregation, once occupied Anqing, and such a huge force was completely destroyed in only a few months. As soon as the Yue Wang Association was mentioned, the cadres of the Restoration Society could not help but have a feeling of sadness and sadness like the death of rabbits and foxes.

At this time, Tao Chengzhang could only rely on his identity as the leader of the Restoration Society to make a decision, "I have decided, or send someone to ask the People's Party to send troops to jointly recover Zhejiang." ”

The voice fell, and some people already stood up to object, "Tao Gong, as the saying goes, it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God, in case the People's Party does not leave in Zhejiang, how can we explain to the people of Zhejiang." ”

Before Qiu Jin stood up to object, Tao Chengzhang had already said loudly: "The People's Party will never be like this." As long as they negotiate in advance, they will still keep their promises. I vouch for that. Bosun, how about you go and meet Chen Ke this time? ”

"Okay." Xu Xilin got up and replied.

"Tao Gong, I'll go with you." Immediately, some cadres volunteered to send an envoy to Anhui.

The corners of Tao Chengzhang's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled: "This time I went to the People's Party, I will not take it upon myself to cede Zhejiang's land to the People's Party." I will discuss the terms of the negotiation with you. ”

This statement was finally accepted by the members of the Liberation Society, and the Liberation Society began to discuss the demands on the People's Party.

At night, Xu Xilin went to find Tao Chengzhang when no one was around, and as soon as he entered the room, Xu Xilin said: "Brother Huanzhang, everyone's request this time is too much. ”

Tao Chengzhang smiled bitterly, this request is really excessive. Everyone believes that the People's Party must not occupy any territory in Zhejiang, and not only that, but the People's Party also needs to produce food and ammunition itself. All the seized arms and materials belonged to the Liberation Society. Moreover, the BJP's troops must obey the command of the Liberation Society, and cannot be left to the BJP on its own.

Even so, there are still cadres of the Liberation Association who are not at ease with the People's Party. They even offered that the BJP's weapons and ammunition be in the hands of the Liberation Society. Tao Chengzhang didn't want to cause serious disagreements in the Restoration Meeting, so he didn't say anything about the previous requests. Hearing this demand, which almost demanded that the People's Party surrender its guns, he directly and clearly expressed his opposition.

In fact, the cadres of the Liberation Association also knew that this request was very excessive, and most of them expressed their support for Tao Chengzhang. Under such circumstances, the cadres who made such demands actually said loudly, "Since they are friendly troops, these sub-demands cannot be accepted." Where is there any reason why friendly forces are so suspicious of the main army. ”

Xu Xilin saw Tao Chengzhang's wry smile, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Huanqing, Chen Kena will never give in to such a major matter because of personal friendship. If we make such demands, it is absolutely impossible for the People's Party to send troops. ”

"Do you think I don't know? If someone dares to come to Shaoxing to make this request to us, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out of the house alive. Tao Chengzhang expressed his complete agreement.

"Then why doesn't Brother Huanqing speak at the meeting?" Xu Xilin couldn't help but ask.

"I don't want our comrades to sacrifice in vain. Although the comrades are unreasonable, they are our comrades after all. Tao Chengzhang confided in Xu Xilin before he confided in his heart, "Besides, let you negotiate, I'm just afraid that I will have to let Bosun tell you some lies." Even if we cede some land to the BJP, we have to agree to it now. ”

"Brother Huanqing, my personal reputation is nothing. But back then, King Yue would ask for Anqing, and the People's Party would give him Anqing. If we want Chizhou, the People's Party will give us Chizhou. The result? King Yue and we have not been able to hold it. Now Anqing and Chizhou are owned by the People's Party, and no one is robbing them anymore. Even if we want to cut the land, the People's Party is not necessary. Now that we have completely offended the People's Party, if there is any danger in the future, what face should we use to ask the People's Party again? ”

Tao Chengzhang actually completely supported Xu Xilin's opinion, and he asked: "What does Bosun think?" ”

Xu Xilin said calmly: "Today's plan, either we will completely rely on ourselves to take Zhejiang." No matter how many people are sacrificed, they will fight down by themselves. It's for the best. If this is not possible, then simply let the BJP send troops to help. We will give them whatever they want. Looking at it now, the People's Party didn't want Anqing and Chizhou at all at the beginning of the year, but King Yue and we couldn't hold their breath and showed the bottom first. As a result, the People's Party took the morals, and then we couldn't hold on. As a result, the BJP does not owe us any favors at all. On the contrary, we can no longer mention the matter of Chizhou. This is a lesson from the past, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past this time. ”

"The comrades will never agree." Tao Chengzhang replied.

"If you don't agree, then let these people beat Hangzhou, the so-called please is not as good as agitating. Since they are not convinced, they will do their best. Since we have decided to revolt, it is natural that life and death will be put out of the way. Brother Huanqing cherishes the lives of his comrades, but when did the People's Party not fight for today's situation? If Brother Huanqing is determined to fight by himself, I am willing to personally lead the troops to Hangzhou. ”

Xu Xilin's words are categorical, and Tao Chengzhang can't come up with any other reason. After thinking about it, Tao Chengzhang nodded emphatically, "Then it's decided, fight Hangzhou, and we will fight it ourselves." ”
