The news of the success of the revolutionary uprising in Guangzhou quickly spread throughout China, and after the Gengzi Revolution, the people were once again shocked. The situation is so dizzying that even the most talkative and politically minded Beijingers can't figure out the complexity of the situation and can't understand what's going on.

In a teahouse in old Beijing, a few people sit together and taste tea, usually in the afternoon this time in the teahouse is full of people, and the old man and young master in the alley carry the birdcage back and forth. After the Gengzi Revolution, there were first the Boxers, and then the Eight-Nation Alliance, the city of Beijing was ruined, and there were a lot fewer people who had the leisure to come out to drink tea, and many Manchus followed the Queen Mother to Xi'an.

"I said the third child, your household is very idle, and now you have time to come out for tea."

"Young Master Bai, how can I compare with you in this tiring life, your Bai family is a drought and flood to ensure harvest, I heard that even Oriental people have gone to your house to see a doctor. Tsk, now this Beijing city is a foreigner who has the final say, and the Queen Mother doesn't know when she will come back, do you know? The man lowered his voice and said to his companion: "Li Zhongtang's negotiations with foreigners are almost over, and I heard that he will lose a lot of money!" ”

"The country will not be a country!" The young master surnamed Bai slapped heavily on the table and said loudly. The guy pouring tea next to him glanced at it, pointed to the card of "Don't talk about state affairs" with his right hand, and the third child hurriedly pulled the young master surnamed Bai. The young master surnamed Bai is named Bai Zhai, at the age of eighteen, his family is a well-known time-honored medical hall in Beijing, he did not inherit his father's business, but joined the Beijing Normal University the year before last to study. Later, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing and looted the Beijing Normal University Hall, and the school was forced to close, and Bai Zhai also returned home with nothing to do, this time he came out to meet friends. The old three took the shadow of the family and worked in the household department, Li Hongzhang presided over the negotiation and recalled the officials scattered all over Beijing, although the empress dowager escaped, the imperial court still had to operate.

"Young Master Bai, you tap, who doesn't know the decline of the country now, but don't open your mouth easily, be careful that the wall has ears! The spies of the imperial court were everywhere, and although they could not defeat the foreigners, they had a lot of momentum to arrest the revolutionary party. ”

"Foreigners mess with China, how can the imperial court still care about those revolutionary parties?"

News came from the south that on 10 May, the rebellious party in Guangdong launched an armed uprising, and now occupied the city of Guangzhou, and telegraphed the whole country to overthrow the imperial court. I heard that the Guangzhou general Bao Nian once led tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress, and was defeated and lost, and now his life and death are unknown. The court became a pot of porridge, the queen mother vomited two taels of blood after hearing about this, and strictly ordered Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, to organize the southern army to exterminate the rebellious party, and the troops in Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangxi and other places began to mobilize. The foreigners were not so concerned about the southern governors, except for Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, who said that he was not sick, and the rest of the governors began to mobilize their troops. ”

The third child spoke up, and many court secrets came out of his mouth. Bai Zhai's eyes began to shine, not because he was excited to hear those secrets, the country finally has hope, the dawn is dawning, and his future is in Guangdong! Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, many classmates were as dissatisfied with the court as himself, there was no way to serve the country, and there was nowhere to vent his enthusiasm, the news of Guangdong made Bai Zhai realize that he could no longer waste his youth, and he wanted to contact those like-minded classmates to go to Guangzhou!

As the news spread, the Guangzhou revolutionary uprising woke up the long-dormant land of China like a spring thunder. The Manchu army was mobilizing to prepare to encircle and suppress the revolutionary army, and the aspiring young people could not suppress their beating hearts, and they joined up one after another, and going to Guangzhou became the most fashionable topic in the mouths of young people.

"Mr. Huang, I am an investigator of the Guangdong Commercial Investigation Bureau under the provisional government, and our chief has something to ask us for, please come with us." In the past few days, Huang Fu obeyed Zheng Shiliang's orders, ran around the city of Guangzhou, checked the details of the provisional government, and then fed back to Zheng Shiliang. The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became: the provisional government was well-organized, strictly disciplined, financially abundant, had a variety of propaganda methods, and had a strong army. In the past few days, the city of Guangzhou has not only restored order, but is also filled with a sense of rebirth, the provisional government has posted government decrees everywhere, and new things have appeared in the Zhenguo newspaper every day. The ideal that Mr. Sun had pursued all his life seemed to emerge here, and Lu Liang, the prime minister of the provisional government, had received more and more information after a few days of inquiry. This person was very low-key before, but in fact he was already the largest merchant and landlord in Guangdong, not only owned a large number of factories and fields, but also built roads, railways, water conservancy projects, and built new schools. Now that there was a sudden incident, he had succeeded in occupying Guangzhou in a few days, and the revolutionary contingent in Heyuan had been arranged by him in advance! This person is scheming, scheming, and wealthy, so it is reasonable that he can succeed. Huang Fu asked to see Lu Liang many times, but he didn't get a reply, but he didn't expect people to take the initiative to come to the door today.

A few hours later, Huang Fu walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and hurried back to the secret contact point, where he wanted to report to Mr. Zheng Shiliang about the day's situation. The matter was too big, and he was a little flustered, but he didn't expect Lu Liang to grasp so many situations!

After seeing off Huang Fu, Lu Liang boarded the jeep and ran to the Guangzhou military camp outside the city. His plan has been passed out through Huang Fu, and it will definitely reach Sun Ge, depending on whether he is willing to cooperate. They worked hard to run the business, liaise with the party, and launched uprisings one after another, but if they provided such a platform themselves, if they were sincere about revolution and for the rebirth of China, they would definitely come.

The Guangzhou Barracks was an expansion of the Second Brigade Training Ground, and the Provisional Government set up conscription offices throughout Guangdong, where recruits would be sent first and then distributed to various units after preliminary training. So far, 30,000 young people have stepped into the barracks and become members of the revolutionary army, and soldiers of the 1st Brigade, 1st Regiment, and 2nd Regiment are training them as instructors. Even so, there was still a gap of 40,000 men from the target of 100,000 men, and Lü Liang had already sent two more regiments from Guangzhou and Huizhou to attack other areas and expand the scope of the occupied area as much as possible. Efforts have also been made to form police and militia forces, and regular forces cannot be used in the local area forever, and local security should be entrusted to the police as soon as possible.

On June 2, 1901, Sun Ge, who was far away in Honolulu, Hawaii, received a telegram from Guangzhou, the contents of which were unbelievable - an organization called the Zhenguo Party launched an armed uprising in Guangzhou and successfully occupied the city of Guangzhou! There are so few things that can be explained in the telegram, and the correspondence is too slow, which is really anxious!

"Brother Shaobai, do you know what this Zhenguo Party is all about?" Chen Shaobai founded the Taiwan branch of the Xingzhong Society a few years ago, and he has a lot of activities there, and he has a better understanding of the situation there.

"I don't know much about the Zhenguo Party, which launched an armed uprising in Heyuan at the end of last year, and was soon surrounded and suppressed by the Qing government, but I heard that they easily defeated the encirclement and suppression team, and I don't know what happened next. I sent people to Heyuan to check, but I didn't get accurate information, the Zhenguo Party is very mysterious, holding high the anti-Qing banner, but not disclosing the organizational form and leaders. ”

"The telegram sent by Zheng Shiliang is vague, but the situation of the armed uprising occupying Guangzhou should be true, and I think we should rush back to Guangzhou as soon as possible to contact this Zhenguo Party. Judging from what they have done, the Zhenguo Party is indeed a revolutionary organization, and its armed forces are relatively strong. Since the failure of the many uprisings, through reflection, I believe that it is necessary to integrate other revolutionary organizations and combine all revolutionary forces in order to confront the Qing court. ”

"In this case, I suggest that Zheng Shiliang first contact the Zhenguo Party, and then we will secretly return to Guangzhou, and then make a judgment according to the situation. After all, now the Qing court regards us as beasts of prey, and many comrades have sacrificed their lives, so we have to be cautious. ”
