"Second brother, don't worry, I think we can find out those revolutionary parties, and then send them to Yang Shukan, the leader of the Sichuan Alliance, and it will definitely not hurt them at all, and some officers will be transferred to join my mixed association, after all, they are all new troops, and they have never seen blood, just let these veterans take a belt, and then transfer some troops to enrich your subordinates, second brother, what do you think?"

Qiao Zhen is still quite satisfied with this arrangement, what he values most in his heart is his family, and he doesn't value the rest of the things, in short, the third brother will not harm himself, Qiao Yu actually doesn't want to spend too much scheming, but in this era, he has to do it as a last resort.

Qiao's family is feasting here, Chengdu has already made a fuss, on June 17, Chengdu Yuefu Road gathered countless people, as well as representatives from all over the world, Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and other shareholders of Sichuan Railway Company were all present, Luo Lun took the lead on the stage, did not speak, first cried loudly.

"Compatriots, fellow villagers, the Sichuan-Han Road is over! Sichuan is finished! China is also going to be finished! The hard work of tens of millions of Sichuan people, countless people's expectations have come to naught, everyone look at this piece of paper in my hand, this is the contract between the imperial court and the banks of Britain, the United States, Germany and France, our Sichuan and Han roads are so mortgaged to foreigners, everyone said can we agree! ”

The audience suddenly boiled, "Don't agree, absolutely don't agree, swear to protect the road and defend the rights!" ”

For a while, the shouting shook the sky, and then Pu Dianjun also came to the stage, cleared his throat and said: "We absolutely cannot tolerate the loss of the right of way, nor can we tolerate everyone's hard-earned money coming to naught, I suggest that everyone in Sichuan will be mobilized from now on, demonstrations, so that everyone in the world can see the power of Sichuan, in addition, I also hope that everyone will maintain restraint and petition peacefully, we do not oppose the imperial court, nor do we think about revolution, we just want to keep our property!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the representatives from all over the country also made generous speeches, scolding the court for being shameless, and calling on the whole of Sichuan to unite, saying that the sadness was full of crying on and off the stage, and even the military and police who were ordered to come to monitor also cried together, and countless Shengdou small people shouted together, reverberating the world, and even Pu Dianjun and others on the stage did not expect to be able to create such a momentum, and their hearts were extremely satisfied.

At the meeting, it was decided to set up the Sichuan Baolu Comrades Association, Pu Dianjun as the president, Luo Lun as the vice president, responsible for leading the Sichuan Baolu Movement, just after the meeting, representatives from all walks of life have walked the streets and alleys, distributed leaflets, loud speeches, workers and peasants, students and teachers, businessmen and hawkers, and even the female monks and nuns have joined in, in this public opinion war the Qing court completely lost the moral high ground, in front of the gentry class was completely defeated, and soon a sweeping Sichuan Baolu movement was launched.

Celebrities from all walks of life have written articles and made speeches, and even many officials in Sichuan have jointly signed a petition to the imperial court hoping to cancel the policy of nationalization, but the Qing court also urgently needs the Sichuan Han Road in exchange for loans, and the superintendent Sheng Xuanhuai and others have not seen the huge crisis contained everywhere at all, and it is just an ordinary people's trouble, as long as the military generation arrives, it can be completely suppressed.

Therefore, the Qing court did not change anything, but asked Wang Wenwen to hand over the accounts of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company to the imperial court as soon as possible, undoubtedly to take Pu Dianjun and other shareholders to open the knife, Pu Dianjun and others where will they be restrained, on the one hand to mobilize the people, on the other hand to coerce Wang Wenwen, except for Dongchuan, basically other regions have fallen into chaos.

It was this kind of confusion that gave the League a great opportunity, and the Baolu Comrades Association in various places was initially led by the gentry Constitutional Party, but most of these people cherished their feathers and were afraid of the court's questioning, so they had to hand over the leadership to the most noisy revolutionary party, and they hid behind the scenes, but soon things were beyond the control of the Constitutional Party, and it was easy for the common people to mobilize, but it was too difficult to control, coupled with the instigation of the revolutionary party, soon there were attacks on the government everywhere.

What is even worse is that the local armies have also been in great anger because of the long-term arrears of military salaries and their lives, but now they have taken the opportunity to burst out, and these soldiers have joined the movement one after another, making the revolutionary party extremely powerful.

At this time, the main leaders of the Sichuan League gathered in a small courtyard in Rong County, including Long Mingjian, Wang Tianjie, Wu Yuzhang and others, as well as Yang Shukan, Zhang Peijue, Zhu Zhihong and other leaders of the League who were expelled from Yucheng. Although Mr. Sun's uprising in Guangzhou failed, it was enough to boost the morale of the people of the world, and now the revolutionary trend has become, and the rest depends on us. ”

Yang Shukan was extremely indignant in his heart at this time, he now kept recalling in his heart that since he met Qiao Yu, the thriving revolutionary forces in Yucheng had been severely hit, and he expelled all these people from Yucheng at the end of April, but the situation changed greatly in May, and the Qing court even made stupid moves, if he could bear it a little, now Yucheng is only afraid that it is already the world of the Alliance, but there is still regret medicine there.

Even Yang Shukan's heart was wondering if Qiao Yu had already seen everything in advance, otherwise how could he grasp the timing so accurately, and when he let him go, he also said that there would be an opportunity to cooperate in the future, didn't he mean now, could it be that this person was so evil?

Just when he was thinking wildly, Wang Tianjie also spoke: "Everyone, it is true that as Brother Long said, the situation is unprecedentedly good, but if we want to launch an uprising, we still face many difficulties, the first is money, the second is weapons, if you want to organize an army, you can't do these two things at all, and another point is that we have lost control of Yucheng, without this port, the materials we urgently need cannot be transported in at all, and it is more difficult to get the support of the headquarters, if these cannot be solved, It's going to be very difficult for us to build an army! ”

"Yes, there are a lot of difficulties!" Wu Yuzhang also continued, "But I don't think money is a problem, we are in southern Sichuan, don't forget that this is the salt capital, large and small salt merchants are all over the place, and it is also a place where wealth gathers, let's persuade some salt merchants and get some support, and now these salt merchants are also involved in the road protection movement, I think they will still support us, but the problem of weapons is more troublesome, the Qing court is more strict about gun control, I think it is best to buy a batch, but the problem is in Yucheng, If only someone could help us in Yucheng, the trouble would be much less! ”

In the final analysis, they all converged on Yucheng, the port of foreign contact, and Yang Shukan also felt that everyone present was not so respectful in their eyes when they looked at him, after all, the power of Yucheng was wiped out in his own hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although we have withdrawn from Yucheng, there are still many people who are interested in us, I am absolutely sure that we can get a batch of weapons as soon as possible, everyone can rest assured!"

Yang Shukan's assurance, immediately let the people present breathe a sigh of relief, solved the problem of money and guns, the rest is easy to do, immediately these people scattered everywhere, contact the landlord armed forces, agitate the elder brothers, co-opt bandits and bandits, in short, all the forces that can be mobilized are within the scope of the activities of the League, the Baolu movement completely collapsed the local administrative system of the Qing court, there was no interference in the actions of the revolutionary party, all the militias were quietly organized, just waiting for the opportunity to attack in one fell swoop.

"Cangbai, do we still have anyone available in Yucheng? You won't expect Li Heyang and the Li family to help us, since the matter of the Chamber of Commerce, the Li family and we have become more and more estranged, and we have no place in southern Sichuan if we talk big! Zhang Peijue naturally knew Yang Shukan's details, he only thought that Yang Shukan was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, so he was also very worried!

"Column five, the Li family can't do it, isn't the Qiao family still good? I'll go to Yucheng to meet Qiao Yu now, I think he will support us! ”

When Zhang Peijue heard Qiao Yu, he was stunned, both sides have made a fuss like this, can they still cooperate?
