Although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a faint coolness in the air, but the early morning sun is still very dazzling, the strong sunlight through the fixed wooden shutters of the window insulation, the yellow light cuts through the darkness in the room, in this light a little dust floats, and the room is filled with a smell of wine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sitting on the sofa, Tang Cai watched for a long time as the light moved slowly, almost imperceptibly, but at the same time unstoppably, through the room. There is a Western-style desk leaning against a gray marble fireplace, and shelves full of books.

As the former deputy governor of the Han Governor's Mansion in Zhejiang Province, Tang Caichang is also a celebrity, and even now that the title of deputy governor has become a thing of the past, as a guest of the governors of the three eastern provinces, he still enjoys a rich life in the northeast that far exceeds ordinary people - a three-story red brick townhouse on Mansion Street, which is a garden house that closely resembles the brownstone buildings of New York, is actually the work of an American architect. The Governor's Mansion provided several servants to take care of his life on a full-time basis, and even a chauffeur and bodyguards sent by the Secret Service of the Governor's Palace, plus a monthly allowance of 1,000 yuan.

In short, in the Northeast, like other high-ranking officials in the Han Governor's Palace, with the help of the Governor's Palace, Tang Cai often enjoyed a comfortable and comfortable life.

However, as a "revolutionary", this comfortable life is obviously not what he wants, or in other words, for revolutionaries, a comfortable life is contrary to their belief in life. But like anyone, Tang Caichang has adapted and become accustomed to this comfortable and comfortable life.

Although, on the other hand, he knew that he, like many people from Hangzhou, was just a person who had been "captive" by the governor, as a "captive". He is also self-aware - he gets drunk all day long. Occasionally, I will take ** home for the night. These things tend to appear in the newspapers, so much so that many people in the Yellow Soul Association are quite disappointed with them.

But for all this, Tang Caichang doesn't care at all, and he doesn't know that for the Northeast, he is just a tool, and now he ...... He just needs to enjoy life to the fullest.

But today, he doesn't have this leisure. Even after seeing the news in that newspaper, he blasted the woman he brought back from the brothel last night out of the house.

"Tan Sitong and the remnants of the Zhejiang People's Army appeared in Ganzhou ......"

A simple piece of news, but unlike the news of the past, the source of this news was not an uncertain source, but from the Beijing Council of Parliament, where the councillors of Liangjiang demanded that the remnants of the People's Army be recruited to the Northeast according to the previous agreement, otherwise they would have to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress it.

It was also mentioned in the news that now the People's Army has not only occupied Ganzhou, but also occupied nearby prefectures and counties, and not only defeated the defense army many times, but also severely damaged a new army in Jiangxi a month ago, although the Jiangxi New Army is only a preliminary formation. may be hit hard by "a group of remnants of the defeated generals", how can it not be frightening. On the news, it was even more sworn that the remnants of its civilian army were about 10,000 people.

Are there really so many people?

Tang Caichang didn't know, but he could be sure that Tan Sitong who led the army, now the mystery of more than a year has finally been solved, Tan Sitong is not dead, and the more than 1,000 elite militias who left Hangzhou are also not dead, they are just lurking, hidden in the vast mountains and forests, waiting for the opportunity to rise again, and now they have seized the opportunity to seize Ganzhou City.

What is Tan Sitong going to do next?

"Resurrection, resurrection......"

Saying his friend's name on his lips, Tang Cai often stood up from the wide and low sofa unhurriedly, enjoying the silence weakly. Hearing the cuckoo call on the "Sundial" brand wall clock on the wall, this alarm clock was given by the watch company when visiting the Seagull Watch Company, and a "Seagull brand watch" was also given away, but Tang Caichang did not wear it much, and he preferred gold pocket watches with engraved patterns to steel watches. At this moment, the cuckoo sticking out of the wall clock is cheerfully announcing that time is passing.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning, and Tang Caichang was still sitting here, silently thinking about the problem. Thinking about Tan Sitong's thoughts, of course, he was thinking more about how to make a profit in this matter.

After coming to the Northeast, perhaps the Governor's Mansion gave him good care, but the taste of sending people under the fence was really uncomfortable, especially this kind of "captivity" made Tang Caichang extremely dissatisfied, in his opinion, as the deputy governor of the Han Governor's Mansion, his own family really neglected him, he should participate in the governor's mansion in political affairs, not be "captive" like this.

In the past, in the face of that family, Tang Caichang was naturally powerless to fight, but now Tan Sitong's move to advocate the banner of righteousness again made him see an opportunity and an opportunity to seek a position of personal power.

"I'm going to Jiangxi accurately!"

Even in the face of his friends for many years, Tang Caichang still felt a little nervous when he said this, because this was not his original intention. During the year in the Northeast, he has become accustomed to getting in and out of the carriage, the stable days with bodyguards, and even the bright lights here, all of which are not available in Jiangxi, not only do not have these, but even there will be a feeling of no protection there.

"If Mr. Peping goes, I will follow Mr. to Jiangxi together!"

Although it has been more than a year since he came to the Northeast, Li Rongsheng has not been attracted by this comfortable life, and even when he lies down to sleep, he hides his pistol under his pillow, as if he is on the battlefield.

"I am determined to sacrifice my life for the nation and the country, and I will go to Jiangxi for thousands of miles, and the risks on the way are ......."

After saying this sentence in a righteous and strict manner, Tang Caichang continued.

"So, I want you to stay in the Northeast, after all."

"Sir can sacrifice life and forget death for my Han and my China, Rongsheng is a Han, as a Chinese, how can he be a ghost who is afraid of death!" I will go to Jiangxi with my husband and be willing to be a pawn of the sun and moon! ”

"Hey, you......"

With a long sigh, Tang Caichang continued,

"Since I saw this news, I have been thinking about going to Jiangxi, but ......"

After pondering for a moment, looking at Li Rongsheng who looked like he had no hesitation, he didn't feel any guilt, everyone is a revolutionary comrade, but the division of labor is different. Some are destined to be sacrificed.

"But I have to think about another question, I'm thinking, compared to going to Jiangxi, what does Brother Fusheng need more now, what does the people's army need now? After all, they have been hiding in the mountains and old forests for more than a year, and I think there should be a lot of things missing. Is it a lack of uniforms, a lack of weapons? Anyway, right now, we don't have much else to say there......"

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Tang Caichang continued.

"To avoid taking unpredictable risks, reconnaissance is now underway that is essential in such a situation. I think at this time, I should send someone to get in touch with Brother Fusheng first, and determine what they need first, instead of rushing to Jiangxi...... Therefore, I hope that you will stay in the Northeast and spread the word to the public, firstly, to win the support of the people in the Northeast, and secondly, to raise donations for our People's Army to purchase all kinds of urgently needed supplies..."

Without waiting for Tang Caichang to finish speaking, Li Rongsheng said urgently.

"Sir, you still have to do this kind of thing, the Northeast compatriots know the People's Army, Mr. Tan, and Mr. Peping, Rongsheng is just a pawn, who can know?"

In the past year, Li Rongsheng had studied at the military academy, and he had been and still had become accustomed to absolutely carrying out the orders of the commander, and in his opinion, the matter of mobilizing the people and liaising with the governor's palace was not something that a small person like him could do, and this kind of thing should be handled by the deputy governor.

"But ......"

Without waiting for Tang Caichang to object, Li Rongsheng continued.

"Mr. Peping, who in the Northeast doesn't know, Mr. Peping is the deputy governor of my Han Governor's Mansion, there is no one more suitable to stay in the Northeast than you, Mr. Peping, when you go to Jiangxi, a little person like me is used to charge into battle, but Mr. Peping arrives in Jiangxi, who will preside over the fundraising for our people's army at that time? Who colluded with the Governor's Mansion for our people's army? And how can Mr. Boping enter the customs, this Manchu court can also offer a reward of 10,000 taels for Mr. Wang's head! ”

Li Rongsheng's words came from the heart and were also righteous, but he didn't know that Tang Caichang's heart was thinking about another question at this time.

"It's almost done here......"

Looking at Li Rongsheng, who volunteered in front of him, Tang Cai often thought with a heavy heart.

"But Tang Ziran's side ......"

Compared with arranging people to get in touch with Tan Si and others, Tang Caichang often values the family more, although he is always dissatisfied with it in his heart, but he also understands a truth, if there is no support from the family, the so-called "revolution" is just a joke, the Hangzhou Uprising of the year, if there is no help from the family, how can there be the prosperity of the revolution of the year?

But now, how to win Tang Ziran's support in the name of Tan Sitong?

"Hey,"

After a long sigh, Tang Caichang nodded silently, then looked at Li Rongsheng and said.

"In this way, there is only that, but ......"

At this moment, Tang Caichang's eyes seemed to be a little moist, in the past year, when he occasionally attended some activities, he would always recall the "bravery of the revolutionary aspirants", of course, this was to increase his weight in the hearts of the people, but it was more just a performance, through that performance to remind everyone - he Tang Caichang was the "deputy governor of the Han Governor's Mansion"!

"How many risks are there along the way? With so many revolutionary comrades thousands of miles away, and there are Manchu and stubborn obstacles on the way, how can I, how can I rest assured? ”

Saying that, Tang Cai stood up violently, looked at Li Rongsheng and said.

"I'm going to the Governor's Mansion to find the marshal, just begging, and I also ask him to find a way to send you to Jiangxi safely and to your comrades!" (To be continued.) )
