On August 5, an extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway was held in Chengdu, and the struggle became more and more intense, gradually breaking through the shackles of the constitutionalists' "civilized struggle for the road".

On August 24, a wave of boycotts and school strikes with the surname of the masses started in Chengdu and quickly swept all over Sichuan. On September 1, the shareholders' meeting of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company notified the whole Sichuan not to pay grain tax. The struggle against grain and donations has sprung up throughout the province, and local economic collection bureaus, financial bureaus, and patrol police stations have been smashed. The tide spread throughout Sichuan, putting the Qing court in an embarrassing situation.

On September 5, at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the railway company, a leaflet appeared in the "Sichuan People's Self-Insurance Consultation Book", calling on the Sichuan people to work together to protect themselves, implying the meaning of revolutionary reading. Sichuan Governor Zhao Erfeng was strictly ordered by the Qing political axe. On September 7, he was said to trap Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun, Yan Kai, Zhang Lan, Deng Xiaoke, and others, the leading figures of the Baolu Comrades Association and the Shareholders' Meeting, and closed the railway company and the Comrades Association. Tens of thousands of people in Chengdu rushed to the governor's yamen to petition for the release of those arrested. Zhao Erfeng actually ordered the Qing soldiers to shoot and kill more than 30 petitioners on the spot, creating the "Chengdu Bloody Case".

On the same day, the revolutionary party personnel made "water telegraphs" from wood chips and threw them into the Jinjiang River to spread the police to various places. The comrade army with peasants as the main body in more than ten prefectures and counties near Chengdu, led by members of the alliance and leaders of the elders' association, Qin Zaigeng, Long Mingjian, Hou Baozhai, Zhang Jiexian, Zhang Dasan, and others, besieged the provincial capital on all sides, and fought fiercely with the Qing army in Hongpailou, Xipu and other places on the outskirts of the city. Zhou Hongxun led the patrol army of his department in Qiongzhou anyway, and occupied Xinjin with the comrade army of the South Road. Luo Zizhou led the Comrade Army of Yazhou and Xingjing to hold Daxiangling and block the Qing army.

The comrade armies of all prefectures and counties responded to the call, guarded the passes, intercepted the newspapers, and captured the county seats. Dazhu, Li Shaoyi, Qianwei Hu Tan and other party leaders rose up, and the anti-Qing struggle was like a prairie fire.

……

In August 1911, the Fujian Autonomous Government continued to argue with the capital, and for another month it was about how much money to compensate and how many conditions.

It was said that the political axe had lost his surname, and he was impatient with Nakano Saburo's ridicule, and under the stubborn stalking of Li Shengguo, he said that the political axe had withdrawn all those additional conditions and began to talk about reparations.

Recently, the special agency has spied on a lot of information in the vicinity of the barracks of the First Division, and the most obvious one is that the Fujian Autonomous Government is frantically training artillery.

Even if the agents did not get close to the barracks, they could hear the heavy sound of artillery in the distance every day, and some agents discovered that the Fujian Autonomous Government was building a road to the coast.

All this information proves that Fujian's autonomous political axe is actively preparing for war.

However, he only thought that the Fujian political axe had a two-handed plan, and thought that the Fujian autonomous political axe wanted to give in, but it was also ready to fight.

The Ben side is also preparing, but with the intervention of Britain and the United States, the Biben does not dare to attack easily, and can only wait until the negotiations break down.

Nakano Saburo was the most depressed, after nearly a month and a half of negotiations, Nakano Saburo felt dry as soon as he saw Li Shengguo, and the young man in front of him was very good at stalking.

"We say that this political axe can be without any strings attached." Saburo Nakano reluctantly admitted defeat, because continuing to talk about these additional conditions was just useless.

First of all, the negotiations were brokered by Britain and the United States, and if they suspended the negotiations on these additional conditions, Britain and the United States would think that the negotiations were not sincere, and that they could not use this as a reason to start a war, and that in the end they were only in a dilemma.

"Mr. Nakano is so boring! If you had known, you wouldn't have mentioned these conditions! Li Shengguo laughed and said, Nakano Saburo heard that his whole face turned the color of pig liver, and with a bang, he slapped the table and said, "But the compensation still has to be dropped." ”

Saburo Nakano said and pushed a document up, pushed it to Li Shengguo's desk, and said to Li Shengguo; "Sign it! For the sake of friendship and peace in China. ”

"I think you're mistaken, we never promised 300 million customs taels." Li Shengguo directly pushed the document back, Nakano Saburo looked stunned, and said, "Haven't you already agreed?" ”

Li Shengguo looked at Mo Doma and the British minister with a confused expression, and asked them in English: "Have you heard me say that you promised this compensation?" ”

The ministers of the two countries shook their heads in unison, even if the Fujian Autonomous Political Axe was willing to agree, Britain did not want the Fujian Autonomous Political Axe to agree.

Because the compensation of 400 million customs taels is really a big piece of fat, how can you let this book be swallowed alone, and you can keep this piece of fat for Britain to eat first.

The two ministers' heads shook their heads, making Nakano Saburo suddenly realize that he had been teased, but the other party really did not say that he would agree to this compensation.

Besides, it was said that it was defeated, and five warships were sunk, but it was not defeated.

"We have never agreed to this condition of compensation, but out of humanitarian considerations, we are willing to pay 100 silver dollars to each of the soldiers who died in the naval battle." Li Shengguo said.

The British minister listened and said: "The self-government of Fujian is too humanitarian, and we in Britain support it. ”

"Why?" Saburo Nakano asked angrily.

"This conflict was provoked by the Chinese side, and the consequences and responsibilities should be borne by you, and you failed, didn't you?" The British minister said to Saburo Nakano.

At this time, the British minister in charge of mediation had fallen to the side of the Fujian Autonomous Political Axe, not only because Li Shengguo stuffed him with money, but also because the relationship between Xia Jun and Yuan Shikai had developed well recently.

The British minister in charge of this mediation was Zhu Erdian's subordinate, Zhu Erdian ventilated on him, and Li Shengguo sent money from his side, so the British minister naturally fell on the side of the Fujian Autonomous Political Axe, and the Fujian Autonomous Political Axe itself has no conflict of interest with the British, and the British has begun to guard against this ally, and the Minister is also willing to fall to the side of the Fujian Autonomous Political Axe.

Saburo Nakano was so angry that he was about to go crazy, it turned out that after a month and a half of negotiations, there was no progress, and he suddenly felt hot on his face, and he felt like he had been slapped hard.
