At the end of August, the whole city of Shanghai was already in a certain chaos because of the Second Revolution.

The wharves in Shanghai were also full of gloomy clouds, such as Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Chen Qimei, Hu Hanmin and other leaders of the Yuan army, all waiting on the wharf for ships to prepare to flee. Among them, Chen Qimei was the most worried, because in the entire battle against Yuan, his Shanghai army fought the worst.

After Shanghai read the power, all the civil, transportation and judicial organs were taken over by the Shanghai army, and only the manufacturing bureau was still controlled by the Beiyang army. In order to be able to seize the Manufacturing Bureau, Li Shuping and Wang Yiting, the commanders of the Security Regiment, once went to the Manufacturing Bureau to tell the leader of the Beiyang Army that they were willing to provide 30,000 silver yuan in cash for them to return to the north, but they were subsequently refused.

After being refused, Chen Qimei mobilized an army of more than 7,000 people to besiege the manufacturing bureau.

However, in the face of the Beiyang Army, which had only more than 2,000 people, Chen Qimei hit a bloody head, and his five attacks on the Manufacturing Bureau have also failed again and again. For example, the first time, the Shanghai army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, the second time, more than 200 casualties, the third time more than 300 casualties, the fourth time only dozens of people, and the fifth time because of lack of confidence, there were few casualties...

In contrast, Beiyang, as a minority, suffered only 2 or 30 casualties in the first time, only 10 casualties in the second time, and even fewer in the third, fourth and fifth times...

Such a record makes Chen Qimei feel ashamed of others, but fortunately, other people's records are not much better than him...

Looking at the gloomy crowd, Liao Zhongkai smiled bitterly and said. "Sir, Kegong. Let's hurry aboard..."

I can't help but go, just got the news not long ago that Yuan Shikai had transferred more than half of the troops of the 20th Beiyang Division, and under the escort of Hairong and other ships, he was heading towards Shanghai. I believe that it will not take a few days to arrive in Shanghai, and if Sun Yat-sen and they don't leave at this moment, I am afraid they will not be able to leave when the reinforcements from Beiyang arrive.

Hearing Liao Zhongkai say this, everyone who was still frowning on the dock also knew that they had to board the ship, so they boarded the passenger ship to Yuben one by one. It's just that before boarding the ship, Huang Xing still said angrily. "That Yan Guang actually didn't save him when he saw death, didn't he know what it meant to have cold lips and teeth?"

Hearing Huang Xing say this, Liao Zhongkai on the side said with a wry smile. "This can't be blamed on others, who told us to fight too badly..."Although the other upper echelons of Yuan Jun frowned when they heard this, they had to nod and admit it.

Before launching the Second Revolution, Yan Guang had supported Yuan's 5 million silver dollars and 10,000 1888 Committee rifles, which led many Kuomintang members, including Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen, to believe that Yan Guang and his Kuomintang were actually inclined to them. Until now, he has not blatantly stood up, and he just wants the Kuomintang and Beiyang to stand up and be a fisherman after they lose both.

Liao Zhongkai and others have even thought about the place where Yan Guang wants a fisherman, that is, Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan and Guangxi. In fact, even Yuan Shikai, who was far away in Yanjing, thought so.

It's just that after the Second Revolution officially began, both Sun Yat-sen and others, as well as Yuan Shikai who was far away in Yanjing, were frightened by the next battle situation. You must know that the strength of the Yuan army at that time was still very capable of bluffing, for example, Jiangsu had 4 infantry divisions, Jiangxi had 2 infantry divisions and a mixed brigade, and the troops in these two places alone had nearly 70,000 troops, in addition to the other 4 provinces of reading, and cities like Shanghai, which were not large but also had nearly 10,000 troops.

Although Yuan Shikai was very confident in his Beiyang, he also believed that the normal battle might last for a long time, and in order to deal with the possible emergence of the National Socialist Party, he even sent his subordinates to contact the British, hoping to use the loans from the large loan to buy a batch of arms and equipment.

It's just that the next battle situation was beyond everyone's expectations, and those divisions of Yuan's army were actually crushed in front of Beiyang, even when defending in the city, which not only surprised Sun Yat-sen and Yuan Shikai, but even Yan Guang, who had already known the outcome, did not expect...

Unexpectedly, the Kuomintang and their Yuan Shikai, who would fight Yuan Jun so much, ordered Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang to ask them to exterminate Yuan Jun in the shortest possible time, and at the same time signaled to Cai Yi, who was far away in Yunnan, to let him contain Yan Guang and not let him interfere in the current war situation.

It's just a little surprising that although Yan Guang's National Socialist Party has expanded the strength of its subordinates, it has no intention of interfering in the war situation in the outside world. Yan Guang himself sat back and watched the defeat of the Kuomintang, even though Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen had sent more than a dozen groups of representatives to Sichuan to ask for help.

"Forget it, Kegong, don't be angry, let's just watch how that Yan Guang died in Yueben..."

Just when Huang Xing was standing there and losing his temper, Chen Qimei on the side also spoke.

"yes..."

"That's right, look at how that Yan Guang died..."

Hearing Chen Qimei say this, the Kuomintang members who were waiting to get on the boat around them echoed one by one.

It can be seen that everyone here is not optimistic about Yan Guang's fate, but it is no wonder that after the defeat in the two battlefields of Jiangxi and Nanjing, Anhui, Hunan, Fujian and Guangdong have canceled the reading power, and the power of Beiyang has rightfully expanded to most of China, and there are few provinces that have not been controlled (annexed) by Yuan Shikai now.

In the eyes of Chen Qimei and others, although Yan Guang's National Socialist Party can be regarded as very strong, but now that Yuan Shikai has controlled most of China, the National Socialist Party, which has only two provinces, will only be gradually eroded...

After a long sigh, Huang Xing and others boarded the passenger ship, and at this time, Chen Jiongming and others also boarded the ship to Singapore...

(In history, the Shanghai Campaign, Chen Qimei's 7,000 Shanghai troops continued to "fight hard" but could not capture the manufacturing bureau, and soon the naval chief Liu Guanxiong transferred 5,000 additional naval guards to support, and Chen Qimei's Shanghai army had to retreat to the Wusongkou Fort.) Under Liu Guanxiong's offensive, Chen Qimei sent a telegram for help, Hu Hanmin led more than 3,000 people to reinforce, but it didn't take much for Yuan Shikai to send two regiments of the 20th Beiyang Division to reinforce under the escort of Hairong and other ships, in this case, Chen Qimei's Shanghai army has completely changed from offensive to defensive, and finally under the arbitration of Dr. Staff of the Red Cross (Dr. Staffordm.Cox), the Shanghai army withdrew from Shanghai, and the Shanghai campaign was declared over.

ps: In history, Sun, Huang and others arrived in Yueben one after another, but I arranged here to arrive together, after all, it is necessary to hold on for a while longer than in history.

PS again: After seeing the Battle of Shanghai, I always have a sense of immediacy about the Battle of Songhu... ）

――――――――――

Of course, Yuan Shikai did not take his original wife off and then take a few concubines or something, today they will celebrate so much just because they have exterminated those revolutionary parties in the south who do not want to die.

And unlike what was imagined, the process of exterminating the revolutionary party in the south was even easier than imagined...

"Gong Bao, congratulations."

Standing in front of Yuan Shikai, Yang Shiqi and Yang Du, the two strategists of Yuan Shikai, congratulated him.

Nowadays, in addition to Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, these four provinces and special provinces such as Tibet Province, almost all other provinces have been included (subordinate) Yuan Shikai's sphere of influence, it can be said that it is precisely because of the second revolution that Yuan Shikai can justifiably control most of China, Sun Yat-sen and others worked hard to set off the second revolution is to make other people's wedding dress, of course, but also made a contribution to China's unification......... Although it was Yuan Shikai who unified China...

And in the face of the congratulations of the two important strategists, Yuan Shikai was also happy, after all, he is now only one step away from completely mastering China.

After a while, a few more people came over to say goodbye, but the identities of these people were more special, because they were all from the headquarters of the Kuomintang in Yanjing.

Although the Kuomintang status of several people made Yuan Shikai a little disgusted, but because of today's happy event, Yuan Shikai still said with a smile.

"Where's the thing I've asked you to think about?"

Several Kuomintang people glanced at each other, and finally one of them was unwilling.

"We ...... We agreed..."When he said this, the person in the lead almost collapsed, and several other people were also unwilling.

Looking at the unwilling appearance of several people, Yuan Shikai was full of smiles.

What he asked the Kuomintang headquarters in Yanjing to consider was whether to remove Huang Xing, Chen Qimei, Li Liejun, Bai Wenwei and Chen Jiongming from the Kuomintang (history is true)...

These people in the Kuomintang are naturally reluctant in their hearts, after all, the five people above are all veterans of the Kuomintang, but now that the Yuan army has failed, they have no ability to make any resistance...

As for Yuan Shikai? Since the Kuomintang headquarters in Yanjing had agreed to his conditions, Yuan Shikai did not want to embarrass them, after all, during the Second Revolution, the vast majority of Kuomintang parliamentarians stayed in Yanjing and chose to support Yuan Shikai, and only a few chose to support Sun Huang and others to fight against Yuan Jun.

After Yuan Shikai asked a few Kuomintang people to take their seats, Yuan Shikai received several Beiyang generals under his command.

These Beiyang generals, like Yuan Shikai, were all happy. And looking at these few descendants who have followed him since the beginning of the training at the small station, Yuan Shikai is also very happy, the only thing that makes him feel that the fly in the ointment is that among the three heroes of Beiyang, except for Wang Shizhen who stayed in Yanjing because he was too old, the rest of Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang are leading the troops, if the two of them can also celebrate with themselves in Yanjing at this time, it will be really perfect...

It's just that when Yuan Shikai was talking and laughing with his subordinates, Wang Shizhen, who was already old at the entrance of the courtyard, suddenly walked in with an anxious face.

"Hire, what's wrong?"

Looking at Wang Shizhen, who had always been steady, Yuan Shikai said with a strange expression, and the several Beiyang generals who were accompanying Yuan Shikai at this time were also very strange, after all, Wang Shizhen had always been very stable in their impression.

Wang Shizhen didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly in front of Yuan Shikai after passing a few people, and handed over a telegram.

"Gong Bao, the surname Yan announced that he was reading, and at the same time Zhang Bailin from Guizhou announced his reading..."

"What?"
