Whether it is reform or revolution, there is a noble goal: to save the country and the people, make the country strong and prosperous, and make the people happy.

But the goal is the goal, and to put it bluntly, it is a beautiful ideal, a slogan to inspire, and a big pie to draw out. Whether it will be achieved in the end, or even whether the ending will be a big disappointment, is unknown, and no one is sure for sure.

The Revival Society, on the other hand, has laid a base for the constitutionalists and other revolutionary groups to use as a testing ground for achieving its goals.

"If a county is not governed, a place is not governed, and a province is not governed, how can we talk about the whole country?" Song Fuhua paused, glanced at the attendees, all of them were vigorous young people, all with the lofty ideal of saving the country and the people, but it was precisely because of this that it was inevitable to be careful.

"From the beginning of the incident to the present, our soldiers have used their blood and lives to lay down this base area, which adds up to more than one province. The revolutionary situation looks optimistic, and the final victory is worth looking forward to. However, there is one phenomenon that we should pay attention to, that is, so far, our administrative affairs, the economy, and even the building of the legal system have only just improved, and they are still far from our expectations. ”

"After the liberation, do the people in the liberation area live more easily and comfortably than before, and do they feel different from when the Qing court ruled? Will our finances be able to sustain the continuation of the revolution? The revolutionary army fought bloodily, can we guarantee that they will not go hungry or cold? Guarantee that they are running out of ammunition? ”

Lang Lang's voice echoed in the room, and the successive questions made people think deeply.

"Obviously, we haven't done enough, far from it." Song Fuhua's voice was lowered, "Committed to saving the country and the people, committed to the prosperity of the country, committed to the happiness of the people, and the goal is noble and great." But in reality, even the base areas are not well managed, and even the less than 20,000 revolutionary troops cannot support them, so what can we talk about revitalizing the country and benefiting the people? ”

"We are full of revolutionary passion, and we have spared our lives for noble and great goals. But we also need to see that this is not as simple as imagined. Revolution is not a change of dynasty, nor is it a mere effort to achieve the beautiful hopes in our hearts with enthusiasm and bravery. When we succeeded in overthrowing the Manchu autocratic court and establishing the Republic of China, how would we make the country rich and strong, and how would we make the people happy? ”

"If you don't have a home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. To put it mildly, when the revolution succeeds, if we become the ruling party, can we do better than the Qing court? If we are in the opposition, can we have enough intelligence and talent to supervise the government? And contribute to the country's prosperity and contribute their own strength? ”

"If you look at your abilities carefully, you may feel that you are not enough, right? In any case, in the face of a poor and weak country, in the face of the broad masses of people who need to improve their cultural knowledge and consciousness, and in the face of the scientific and technological and industrial strength to be developed, there are a myriad of complicated and complex comprehensive projects! Maybe I'm just a little bit of a learner. Ability is not enough, every time I think about this. I felt heavy and hard. I don't know how you comrades feel, do you still think that as long as the Manchu Qing is overthrown, as long as there is revolution, everything can be changed for the better? ”

The people below are either smiling or smiling wryly. Or frowning and thinking...... But there was no naysay. In particular, those who have worked in the southwest base area for a period of time have personal feelings and nodded their heads in agreement.

Song Fuhua stretched out his hand and pressed down, his tone softened, and said: "Today's agenda is mainly to set up various departments of the revolutionary military government. As well as electing the leaders of each department and clarifying the work of each department. Then there is the promulgation of policies and measures, from political to economic to military. In other words, from now on, the revolutionary military government will be a political power, and it will exercise the duties and powers of the political power in the base areas. Now, I would like to give the floor to Mr. Liu Yongfu, Special Adviser to the Revolutionary Military Government. ”

For Liu Yongfu, who is in his seventies, his official position is irrelevant, and he also knows that he is inferior to these young people in terms of ideology and theory. But he was willing to devote himself to it, felt the new vitality, and felt excited and proud to participate in the overthrow of the Qing court, which had long been disgusted and disappointed.

"Now the old man will read out the composition of the revolutionary military government, in line with the principle of separating the military from the government, active military personnel are not allowed to serve in government affairs organs...... Liu Yongfu has already cut off his braids, his bald head has also grown hair, and the old man in his seventies is in good spirits and has a loud voice.

The convening of the so-called "Twelfth Nine-Year Plan" conference is of historical significance, marking the real transition of the revolutionary military government to a political power with complete departments, from focusing on the military to simultaneously developing military, government affairs, and the economy, and the work is more subdivided, and the use of qualified personnel is more reasonable.

More importantly, it has gradually transformed itself from a revolutionary party to a ruling party or an opposition party, cultivating and reserving qualified personnel for various tasks after the success of the revolution, accumulating work experience, and enhancing its overall strength.

Whether to take the initiative to start a war or to passively respond to the war, after Chen Wenqiang communicated with the headquarters, it seems to be a problem that needs to be solved.

According to the original idea, Chen Wenqiang was thinking of self-defense and counterattack, so that Macao and Portugal could provoke the war first. But as time went on, and the arrangement was completed, he found that it was not a good idea to wait passively.

Waste of resources, nervous tension, more than a thousand infantry, as well as the militia on Coloane Island, plus the sailors, just waiting with wide eyes is not a long-term solution after all. What puzzled Chen Wenqiang even more was that Macau and Portugal did not seem to have any intention of settling the demarcation issue by force for the time being, but instead focused on dredging the sea near Macao and inland waterways, in an attempt to gain control of the inland rivers and the open seas through this means.

In view of this situation, Chen Wenqiang began to discuss with his subordinates to take the initiative to provoke, so as to strike a blow to Macao and Portugal as soon as possible, so as to solve the hidden dangers caused by the demarcation issue.

In fact, in Chen Wenqiang's view, it is not a provocation, but a counterattack to invade. Because in 1864, the Portuguese invaded Lychee Bay on Coloane Island, covering an area of dozens of acres to build a fort and stationed dozens of soldiers.

Of course, Chen Wenqiang will not use this excuse, he wants to lure Macau and Portugal to give it all his strength, so as to settle the war in one battle. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to create a false impression and give the impression of Macanese and Portuguese.

"If there is a battle on Coloane, can the sailors be sure to send the infantry ashore quickly?" Chen Wenqiang looked at the several people in front of him with a grim face.

Li Yanshan and others were punished for checking and detaining the "Erchen Maru", and they thought that there was no future for them, but Chen Wenqiang reinstated them and reused them for promotion, so that these people willingly obeyed orders and worked for Chen Wenqiang.

"Back to my lord, there are only two or three warships in Macao and Portugal, and there are more than 30 ships of the Guangdong Navy Division, and the battle will be won, not to mention the transportation of troops to the shore." Li Yanshan bowed and replied respectfully
