Xu Xilin spent ten days inspecting the Fengtai County base area, and finally met Chen Ke before leaving the base area. The People's Party (BJP) has expressed sufficient sincerity to the Liberation Society. In the upcoming Battle of Nanjing, the People's Party said that it could send a medical team no less than the number sent not long ago to provide battlefield treatment. As for the question of whether to send troops to help, Xu Xilin did not mention it, and Chen Ke did not say it. Xu Xilin also hopes that the People's Party will provide support in terms of guns, ammunition and money. He said that once Nanjing is conquered, the Liberation Council will definitely repay it.

Regarding the request for this kind of meat bun to beat the dog, Chen Ke said that he could discuss it with his comrades, and Chen Ke really talked about it at the regular meeting. It's just that at this time, the comrades didn't want to see Chen Ke, and the discussion was not enthusiastic at all. In the end, it was decided to support the Liberation Society with 300 guns and 15,000 rounds of ammunition.

Xu Xilin returned to Hangzhou with this meagre achievement, and most of the comrades of the Liberation Society did not feel happy at all.

"The People's Party has wiped out tens of thousands of new troops, and thousands of guns can always be taken out, right?"

"If you only give guns, you won't have money and food, and you won't be able to help?"

"Doctors still come and go, at least leave some doctors with us, and everyone doesn't get sick usually?"

Those who said these things were all cadres of the Liberation Society who had no experience in raising money and food. For them, revolution was a weapon attack on the Manchurian cities. Just like what they did in southern Zhejiang, after the conquest of Hangzhou, Zhejiang's revolution immediately became fierce. In addition to Shanghai, the Liberation Army began to attack various prefectures and counties, and the forces that Zhejiang could gather were wiped out in Hangzhou. The Liberation Army did not meet with strong resistance.

Of course, compared with the unbelievable speeches of the young cadres of the Liberation Association before, this kind of speech is enough to be "restrained." And there are not many cadres attending the meeting, at this time Hangzhou has become a large gathering place, and all kinds of people with Jiangsu and Zhejiang accents have gathered in Hangzhou, and everyone is called by Tao Chengzhang. There is only one purpose, which is to conquer Nanjing.

In less than a month, the situation in Zhejiang was turned upside down, which greatly exceeded Xu Xilin's imagination. I was supposed to be excited, but I wasn't really excited. After explaining the matter of this mission to Anhui, Xu Xilin went to visit Qiu Jin. Qiu Jin's operation was successful, and both bullets in her body were removed. Her face was still bloodless, but it was no longer sickly pale or flushed.

Seeing Xu Xilin coming back, Qiu Jin was naturally happy. Xu Xilin saw that Qiu Jin's injuries had improved a lot, and a hanging heart also fell back into his stomach. Both of them have been to the base area, and they naturally have a common language when they speak Anhui. Both of them have a strong sense of order in the base area. It has been more than half a year since Qiu Jin last went to the base area, and listening to Xu Xilin talk about the appearance of the base area, Qiu Jin recalled the situation she saw last time and sighed that the People's Party has developed faster than she imagined.

Xu Xilin sighed: "Xuanqing, when I came back this time, I suddenly had an idea. Why is the People's Party led by Wen Qing far better than the Yue Wang Society, and it is also far better than our Guangfu Society. Just care that Wenqing can mobilize the people. This time I went back to Hangzhou, we are going to fight Nanjing, and the city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang is full of people from our Restoration Society. That's when I had a kind of sudden realization. During the inspection tour in Anhui, there were not many party members and cadres of the People's Party in various parts of Anhui. But these party members and cadres are all over Anhui. Although they have many troops, they are also stationed on all sides. In wartime, wars are fought and a lot of infrastructure work is also done in peacetime. Water conservancy was built and rivers were dredged. There are even farms, factories to which the army belongs. The People's Party has tens of thousands of people and completely controls Anhui, which has a population of 10 million. If the arm makes the finger, the scheduling is well-organized. Several big victories seem to be no fluke. ”

Qiu Jin went to Chen Kesuo to return the female students last time, and she didn't look so carefully at it. Listening to Xu Xilin's eloquent words, he was also quite admired.

Xu Xilin continued: "Seeing our attack on Jinling this time, nearly 10,000 people gathered in the city of Hangzhou. Not to mention that these comrades do not belong to each other, and the prefectures and counties that we have fought in various places are completely empty. In fact, I privately thought what could I do if I didn't fight Jinling. If we are like Anhui, we will rectify the order of the Liberation Society and build a new government. If these tens of thousands of people can organize 500,000 people, it will not be difficult to train 10,000 or 20,000 elite soldiers from them. Wouldn't it be easy to attack Jinling again? ”

Qiu Jin nodded slowly, but said, "Time is running out." Now, if we don't sweep away the Manchu forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we will definitely not be at peace. ”

"Why are we not at peace? Now it is the Manchu Qing who is shocked three times a day. Xu Xilin replied.

This answer made Qiu Jin feel confused, yes, the most surprised and panicked person now was the Manchu Qing. Why didn't Qiu Jin feel this way, she only felt a heavy pressure. Could it be that Chizhou's experience made Qiu Jin lose confidence in himself?

"Bosun, Zhejiang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and if we don't take Jinling, we will indeed struggle very hard." Qiu Jin gave an explanation that she was not convinced.

Xu Xilin disagreed, "Anhui is not attacked on all sides? Why do we mention Anhui, we feel that the People's Party is attacking from all sides. When it comes to Zhejiang, we are surrounded by enemies? If the people of Zhejiang, like Anhui, follow our Guangfu Revolution, with the population of Zhejiang and the fertility of the land, we can attack from all sides. ”

Qiu Jin was injured, but his pride was not wiped out. Listening to Xu Xilin's decisiveness, Qiu Jin nodded vigorously, "What does that Bosun think?" ”

"At present, we must attack Jinling, but it is only to expel the Manchu forces and control taxes and finances. If you want to collect taxes in Zhejiang, the landlords and gentry will never be able to avoid it. If we can't take Jinling, it is impossible for the gentry to truly support our Restoration Society. But what I saw in Anhui was that the People's Party didn't care about the landlords and gentry at all. And ......" Speaking of this, Xu Xilin stopped talking.

The People's Party seized the ruling power of Anhui by eliminating the landlords and gentry, and Xu Xilin understood this very clearly. Without the landlords and gentry, and the People's Party taking over the local business in an all-round way, Xu Xilin could see the prosperity of Fengtai County clearly. But along the way, Xu Xilin couldn't really accept to do this in Zhejiang. And even if Xu Xilin is determined to do this, there are so many cadres from the landlords and gentry in the Liberation Society, these people will not really agree.

After Qiu Jin was seriously injured, everyone didn't dare to let her move again, so they didn't know much about the recent movements of the Restoration Society, and seeing Xu Xilin so hesitant, Qiu Jin asked: "Bosun, why don't you continue." ”

Xu Xilin finally said: "I think in the current situation, the Liberation Society must govern Zhejiang with the gentry. If it is an enlightened gentry who is willing to cooperate, then give power and position, and if it must be given to the Manchu Qing to accompany the funeral, then we must not be merciful. If we don't act like this as soon as possible, we will definitely not be able to afford the slightest failure. ”

Qiu Jin nodded slightly after hearing this, and there was already light in her eyes, "Since the end of last year, Anhui Jiangsu and Zhejiang have also fought so many times. Originally, we thought that as long as we could put up a big flag, we waved our arms. The world is absolutely like a firewood. Not to mention the far, the five provincial capitals of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, and Jiangxi immediately rose up against the Qing Dynasty. As a result, there were a lot of battles, but all the territories that are now against the Qing Dynasty have been fought out. Tao Gong tried his best to conquer Jinling, which is also his intention. But now it seems that among the various parties, the People's Party of Wenqing is the leader. Bosun, what you said, I will know that Wenqing can not only fight, but also cure. ”

After all, it was the beginning of recovery from a serious illness, and Qiu Jin was already out of breath when she said this, and she couldn't say anything. Tao Chengzhang nodded heavily, Qiu Jin pointed out that waiting for the Manchu Qing to collapse seems to be completely unrealistic, although the local forces are dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to respond to the voice. In order to completely eliminate the Manchus, it is necessary to implement the idea of completely overthrowing the Manchus by force. Although Tao Chengzhang also felt this way, he couldn't say it as clearly as Qiu Jin.

Tao Chengzhang nodded vigorously, "That's right." This time I went to Anhui in person, I kind of understood, if you want to fight, then you have to be able to treat it first. With the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to raise troops for a while. Needless to say, the money and food in the hands of our Restoration Society now are definitely not enough to last for half a year. If it can't be cured, then there will be no food and money. As long as the Manchus can force us, we will fall apart in less than a year. ”

The two reached a consensus, and they were both overjoyed. However, how to "govern" Zhejiang, the Restoration Council actually did not discuss much. Because in the concept of the Liberation Society, the government collects taxes is actually an "evil act", and it is something that can only be done as a last resort. Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin's new view is that it is necessary to be able to collect taxes extremely effectively in order to support the long-term continuation of the revolution. Many of the backbone of the Liberation Society are the Privateers' Association, and they hate the collection of taxes, and if the reason for the Liberation Society is not to pay taxes. Although Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin are both important cadres in the Restoration Society, if they put forward a proposal to rectify taxes, they are afraid that it will be difficult to pass easily.

Thinking of this, Xu Xilin couldn't help but sigh. He now suddenly understood why Chen Ke had gone to great lengths to establish a government while destroying the landlords and gentry by force. The People's Party government directly manages the people, so it is naturally convenient to collect taxes. In addition, the People's Party itself farmed and opened factories, so this income naturally went into the hands of the government. That's why the BJP can have such strong financial resources.

"Xuanqing, I'll go to Tao Gong now to discuss this matter." Xu Xilin felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and he didn't know how long to delay such things.

"That's not necessary, I'll ask Tao Gong to come over, and let's discuss this matter privately first. If this kind of thing is known by others, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of waves. "Qiu Jin is a woman after all, and her wrists are much softer than Xu Xilin's.

Tao Chengzhang learned that Qiu Jin's "illness has recurred", and he was quite anxious, so he rushed over after pushing the matter at hand. Listening to Qiu Jin and Xu Xilin's new ideas at the bedside, Tao Chengzhang was silent.

"The overthrow of the Manchus was a long-term war, and it was impossible to win it quickly." Tao Chengzhang can now fully agree with this conclusion. "Govern Zhejiang with the gentry." Tao Chengzhang didn't like it very much. The gentry were basically landlords, while Tao Chengzhang was against land annexation. There were not a few revolutionaries who came from homesteaders in the Liberation Society. Compared to the landlords, these yeoman farmers were able to come up with very little money. Then the landlord who took the most money naturally demanded more. If the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are summoned in the name of "co-governance", then those who take a lot of money will not get benefits, and will not force the landlords to rise up against the Restoration Society?

Zhang Taiyan, a theoretician in the Liberation Society, was strongly opposed to parliamentary democracy, believing that parliamentary democracy was a system in which the rich had the final say. Xu Xilin's view is certainly reasonable, but if it is really implemented, it will naturally be helpful for the recent revolution. But in the long run, there are many harms.

Tao Chengzhang actually wanted to ask Xu Xilin how he felt about visiting the People's Party base, but he was busy at the time and didn't have time. Now that he was "tricked" by Qiu Jin, he fortunately solved this matter.

After listening to Xu Xilin's lecture on the administrative measures of the People's Party's base areas, Tao Chengzhang could still smile when he heard the aforementioned various government operations and land equalization. Hearing that the People's Party had leveled the big heroes and powers of the surrounding areas everywhere and comprehensively suppressed the landlords and gentry, Tao Chengzhang could no longer laugh.

The target of the People's Party is precisely one of the main forces of the Liberation Society, and although the achievements of the People's Party so far are remarkable, if the Liberation Party does this, it will first collapse itself. This is a route that Tao Chengzhang is absolutely impossible to imitate, and absolutely unwilling to imitate.

Although there is no definite evidence, Tao Chengzhang now believes that the People's Party under Chen Ke's command must have a complete set of revolutionary programs. Without such a set of things, the BJP would now be in the same dilemma as the Liberation Society.

If Chen Ke had the ability of telepathy, he could hear Tao Chengzhang's heart at this time. He was only afraid that he would tell Tao Chengzhang in a sympathetic tone, "Grandpa Mao said earlier, who is our enemy?" Who are our friends? This question is the first question of the revolution. ”

On this point, Chen Ke has always had the firmest position. Whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, the bloody facts that Chen Ke has seen in history have long told him who his friends are and who are his enemies. However, it was precisely because of such a firm stance and the confidence that it was impossible to recognize the enemy as a friend that Chen Ke dared to make full use of the contradictions between the enemies.

Coming to this era in person and knowing things that he had not known before, Chen Kecai had a new understanding of how Yuan Shikai usurped the power of the Manchus. Chen Ke now believes that Yuan Shikai did not intend to overthrow the Manchu Qing from the beginning, and Yuan Shikai must have wanted to be a powerful minister, there is no doubt about this. However, Cixi's traditional political skill of not allowing all parties to dominate restrained Yuan Shikai. In this regard, Cixi is really a "traditional politician". In any case, Cixi's consideration was not the matter itself, but how to use this incident to adjust the pattern of the Manchu court. In order to achieve the result of not letting any force become bigger. Although Cixi relied on Emperor Xianfeng to give birth to an only son to gain some power, this old lady has been able to call the wind and rain for decades, relying on this political skill. If you compare this ability alone, Chen Ke himself is willing to bow down.

But this kind of political balancing arm may have worked in the old era, but it will not work at all in this new era of industrialization. Industry is about specialization, institutionalization and precise management, once any country adopts an industrialized mode of production, then politically there must be a system and operation method that matches it. Cixi's power trick was completely contrary to industrialization.

Although Chen Ke was unwanted by his comrades because he revealed his expectations and plans for the next 30 years, he was not welcomed by his comrades. However, this has not reduced the efficiency of the operation of the base area. Senior cadres can not wait to see Chen Ke, but in the face of a mountain of work, if they do not deal with and solve it in an organized way, then the work will immediately go wrong. Therefore, whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied with Chen Ke is a private matter, and comrades still have to obey Chen Ke's command in accordance with the system in official affairs.

Just when Tao Chengzhang, Xu Xilin, and Qiu Jin were struggling with the question of who was the enemy and who was the friend, Chen Ke held a cadre meeting. At the meeting, he told about his bold plans.

The steel inventory in the base area is mainly the batch of steel purchased from the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant before the capture of Anqing. Now the inventory is almost depleted. Before the spring ploughing in 1908, in order to carry out land reform, it was necessary to have enough metal farm tools to be used in the areas where the land reform was to be completed. The output of newly mined pyrite in the base area is not high, only a dozen tons a day. One of the values of pyrite is that the sulfur contained in pyrite can be used to produce industrial sulfuric acid. It is simply not advisable to desulfurize large pieces of pyrite at high temperatures. If you want to crush these pyrites, you need a steel pulverizer. Not to mention whether the base has the mechanical capacity to design and produce such a crushing device, even if it is designed, there is no steel to make such a device.

Chen's idea was to gain control of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, or at least the right to sell the steel produced by the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant. To put it more bluntly, it is to get the steel from the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant.

If Chen Ke robbed the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, he could also seize the factory area. However, the transportation of iron ore and coke as a whole has become a new problem. Rather than creating such endless new problems, it is better to try to master the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant. This time the Hubei New Army was defeated, and Yuan Shikai had the opportunity to redeem the captured Beiyang officers. Chen Ke decided to make the most of this opportunity and put his hand in the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant.

After listening to Chen Ke's plan, the senior cadres who originally looked serious all relaxed to varying degrees. Almost all the comrades felt that Chen Ke might have some signs of madness. But this plan continues Chen Ke's usual style, that is, it is by no means a pat on the head now, but a premeditated one. And this premeditation is also based on many more successful operations in the past.

Yan Fu spoke first this time, "Chairman Chen, I would like to ask, since when did you start planning this action. ”

The handsome old man knew very well that before Chen Ke came up with his crazy plan for the next thirty years, he had asked Yan Fu to conduct foreign language training. Needless to ask, it must be about the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant.

Chen Ke replied calmly: "Please Mr. Yan last time I bought steel, I probably had this plan. However, many preparations were not completed at that time, and now that the opportunity has come, I naturally want to realize this plan. ”

"And what are the extension plans related to this project?" Yan Fu immediately asked. This is the most troublesome thing for Yan Fu. Being kept in the dark as a marionette, no one will accept this arrangement.

Chen Ke replied calmly: "Next, on the one hand, we will use these steels to produce agricultural tools, on the other hand, we will use these steels to produce hot ball machines, and we will continue to develop Hefei's pyrite." ”

"And what's next?" Yan Fu continued to ask.

Chen Ke stood up and pointed to the place on the map that was later called "Ma'anshan", "When we control this area, the high-quality iron ore in this area is better than the Daye iron mine." We use our coal in Anhui and the mines here to produce better iron ore. ”

Yan Fu didn't ask any further, he just nodded. Chen Ke's answer proved that Chen Ke was not crazy. Not only is he not crazy, Chen Ke's thinking is very clear, and his consciousness is completely normal. It does not match the image of the "god stick" who talks about the development of the next few decades.

The next question was asked by You Wu, "Chairman Chen, why don't we just seize this area now?" ”

"This is Jiangsu, this area is on the other side of Nanjing, if we want to fight over, then we have to solve Nanjing first. Nanjing is used to protect this core industrial area. Poke Nanjing, this is a bigger basket. We are completely underwhelmed right now. Chen Ke answered You Wei's question clearly and clearly.

If it had been before, everyone would have been interested in this plan. But the emotions of a person when he struggles are completely different from the emotions of knowing that he is just a member of a multi-year plan that someone else has already arranged. It would be better if we knew the blueprint for the future from the beginning. When I was halfway through my ambition, I suddenly received this shock. The feeling of loss is not something that can be recovered in a moment.

Chen Ke did not expect that his expectations would have such a negative effect, he thought that even if the comrades could not fully understand, at least they would be excited and united. Since all the members who attended the lecture last time were here at this meeting, Chen Ke simply opened up his words and said, "Comrades, I can see that everyone is very unhappy. I hope that you will uphold the principle of democratic centralism of our People's Party and speak out what is in your heart. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Ke glanced at the comrades attending the meeting. Waiting for everyone to speak.

Yuwen Badu looked at Chen Ke with an innocent eye, and he was not dissatisfied with Chen Ke at all. What Chen Ke said Yu Wen Ba didn't understand much, and the massive amount of information just made Yu Wen Ba feel extremely confused and confused. Chen Ke's high-spirited mood made Yuwenba very unaccustomed to it. There are also several comrades who share his feelings. Naturally, they chose not to say a word.

Among these cadres, the first to speak was Qin Wuan, the minister of logistics, who usually did not like to speak too much. Qin Wuan joined the People's Party organization at the same time as He Zudao. With honesty and hard work, he sat firmly in the position of logistics minister. Judging from emotions alone, Qin Wuan was not dissatisfied with Chen Ke. Now he was the first to stand up and speak. This came as a surprise to many comrades.

"Chairman Chen, I have always admired you. I still admire you very much. Qin Wuan said calmly.

Hearing this opening remark, Hua Xiongmao's eyes immediately became very unfriendly. This kind of initial often means strong opposition, and although Hua Xiongmao is also unhappy with Chen Ke's training, it does not mean that Hua Xiongmao agrees that anyone has come forward to challenge Chen Ke's authority and status.

Qin Wuan didn't care about others at all, and he continued: "Our People's Party was indeed founded by Chairman Chen, and I don't have the ability to criticize the details of the 30-year plan proposed by Chairman Chen. The only thing I can't accept is that Chairman Chen, you can't go against the organizational principles and forcibly take this 30-year plan as the guiding direction for the party's future work. If these contents are discussed at the party committee and the party committee resolution is adopted, then I will definitely implement them conscientiously. However, I do not agree with the approach of taking undiscussed plans as a direction. ”

After hearing this, the dissatisfaction on the faces of many comrades was instantly relieved. In fact, there are many reasons for everyone's dissatisfaction, and many comrades do not even know what they are dissatisfied with. In just a few days, everyone has been exposed to too much new knowledge and heard too many new ideas in one go. The confusion caused by these shocks, combined with some inexplicable emotions, plunged the comrades into considerable confusion.

Not only the comrades who were dissatisfied with Chen Ke, but also the comrades who strongly supported Chen Ke, also expressed great agreement with Qin Wu'an's fair words. Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Ke's face. Everyone saw that Chen Ke was neither angry nor disappointed. Instead, he showed a look of sudden realization.

"If the comrades are unhappy with this matter, this is as it should be. It's my own lack of consideration. I did it wrong. Chen Ke frankly admitted his mistake.

"That is to say, if it is not discussed by the party committee, the content of the training you do will not become a resolution of the party?" Qin Wuan then asked.

Chen Ke replied loudly, "That's right. In our Party's constitution, we will never recognize what has not been discussed by the Party committee as a decision of the Party. ”

Qin Wu'an's expression was still calm, "Then from an organizational point of view, I don't have any opinions." Of course, from a personal point of view, I have always supported Chairman Chen and the CPC Central Committee. Even though I personally didn't fully understand the content of Chairman Chen's training, I think the content of the training is still very reasonable. That's all I have to say. ”

Qin Wu'an's statement was like an antidote, almost completely dissolving the negative emotions that had accumulated in the hearts of comrades these days. Of course, this is also because everyone does not have the slightest idea of holding Chen Ke responsible. Every comrade wants to dispel the unhappiness in his heart, not to remove Chen Ke from the chairman's position. In the final analysis, the comrades have extreme belief in Chen Ke's personal character. If Chen Ke explained his actions after Qin Wu'an criticized Chen Ke, it would have been unexpected by his comrades.

Qin Wuan's reasonable, well-founded and restrained statement impressed many people. Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Wu'an, but Qin Wu'an still sat quietly in his seat as usual, with neither fear nor reserve in his expression.

Chen Ke really had mixed feelings in his heart, and the element of joy accounted for a huge proportion. As far as Chen Ke's heart is concerned, he is committed to the construction of the party organization, which is a rational instinct. However, in his sensibility, he often forgets the basic principles of the party organization. And Qin Wuan's adherence to the party's basic principles this time gave Chen Kesheng a great sense of security. In the past, Chen Ke always felt that he had to rely on himself to support the party organization and the base area. Even in the face of comrades, he has to carefully consider what he has to say in order to give the comrades the most positive guidance. This heavy feeling sometimes even weighed him down. Chen Ke often had to forget about this pressure through frantic work, and the only way to do this was to constantly promote the development of the base areas and strengthen the party's capabilities. Chen Ke can feel safe.

Today, when the comrades used the party's organizational principles for the first time to restrain Chen Ke's own radical actions, Chen Ke suddenly discovered that these comrades of his own could no longer be his subordinates, but comrades equal to him. This feeling did not make Chen Ke feel frustrated, and his feeling turned out to be truly reassuring.

"Thank you, comrades." Chen Ke said that he wanted to say something more, but could not find the right words, so Chen Ke said again, "Thank you, comrades." ”

After the internal problems were resolved, the BJP's party organization was quickly restored to its former state. Chen Ke's plan to take control of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant was generally accepted. All that's left is more detailed preparation.

Chen Ke's plan was not only to take control of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, but also to arrange the People's Party technicians and workers in the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant. Students learn the skills and knowledge of the steel manufacturing industry through practical work.

Rejuvenated comrades began to ask broader questions about these. When dispatching personnel, should we make corresponding arrangements for the capture of Hubei in the future? How do we ensure the safety of our personnel? Zhao Erxun, the governor of Huguang, was a stubborn Manchu lackey, would he know each other?

"It depends on how sincere Yuan Shikai is. If Yuan Shikai really wanted to ransom the captured Beiyang officers, he had to make this cooperation have a minimum degree of credibility. And we must not only be prepared for political struggle, but also be prepared for military struggle. Therefore, in this land reform, I am going to send a force into the Dabie Mountains, and the first thing I want to do is to seize control of Yingshan County. Chen Ke pointed to Yingshan County, near Anqing, on the map.

"I ...... this area," Chen Ke almost said that he had been there, but he paused for a moment before he continued: "This area is very poor, but it has great potential. Although Yingshan County lacks land suitable for cultivation, it does not lack mountainous land. Tea can be planted in the mountains, mulberry and silkworms can be raised. Moreover, there are many hot springs in Yingshan County, and you can use the hot springs to cook silkworms and reel silk. Since we are going to enter Wuhan, it is necessary to make full use of the trade channels in the Wuhan Concession. ”

In the 21st century, Chen Ke went to Yingshan with the "Dabie Mountain Red Tour", and there were four impressions of that place, the hot springs were good, the girls were beautiful, and there were tea gardens and mulberry trees all over the mountains. According to the information collected by the People's Party, Yingshan County is now an extremely poor and poor place, and there are no decent landlords except for a dozen notorious local tyrants. It's really good to get the job done. After opening up a base in Yingshan County, it not only got a stable bridgehead for attacking Hubei, but also covered Anqing's flank. Moreover, according to Chen Ke, by establishing a state-owned tea factory, planting mulberry trees on a large scale, and establishing a raw silk industry, the local people will be able to get rid of extreme poverty through tea and silk in two years.

Listening to Chen Ke's introduction of the plan, the comrades quickly regained the feeling of "surrounding the Party Central Committee with Chairman Chen as the center." In fact, these days, comrades are also reflecting and connecting, and in the discussions, everyone looks back on their experiences since the revolution. They all felt that because they were in the ranks of the revolution, they were accustomed to the process of revolution. In fact, what the People's Party, under the leadership of Chairman Chen Ke, has done is unusual. Therefore, Chen Ke's seemingly radical blueprint is not necessarily unreasonable. It's just that the comrades did not find out why they were dissatisfied.

Qin Wuan pointed out the reasons for the comrades' dissatisfaction, and Chen Ke calmly admitted his mistakes and resolved everyone's dissatisfaction. After the turmoil, the Central Committee of the People's Party has once again restored its unity. But the comrades did not notice that there seemed to be some real change in their view of the world. At least, when Chen Ke proposed to use the trade channels of the Wuhan Concession, no comrade was surprised that foreigners were involved. People just naturally accepted this fact.

Intervening in Hubei is a big plan. As usual, Chen Ke took great pains to elaborate on the content of the plan, and the party committee accepted the plan, and then began to divide the work. The different departments began to run rapidly. First of all, it is up to the Military Commission to decide which troops to send to Yingshan. And which military subdivision this unit should belong to has also entered the agenda.
