When the incident occurred in Suzhou, Shanghai also launched at the same time. After several previous consultations, it was decided that on November 3, the soldiers would revolt in three ways: the first way, on the side of the Iron and Blood Salvation Party, Ma Hanlong was fully responsible for military operations, and marched from the Baoshan area to Songhu and Zhabei, and the Liberation Association was responsible for plotting against the patrol battalion to join the battle, and in secret, Ma Hanlong had ordered the members of the Iron and Blood National Salvation Party lurking in the patrol camp to lead their troops to obey the command of Li Xiehe, the leader of the Liberation Association, and attack the direction of Songhu from west to east.

On the second route, in the area of Nanshi, Li Yingshi, the nephew of Li Pingshu, who was elected by the local gentry and representatives of the industrial and commercial circles in Shanghai, led an armed merchant group in Shanghai to attack the county seat and other areas around the county seat. Li Yingshi was also recommended by Xiao Zhenlei to lead the armed uprising of the merchant group, plus he graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school and was Li Pingshu's nephew, so he was also quite convinced, especially Cai Wei, the deputy commander of the armed merchant group, was instructed by Xiao Zhenlei to obey Li Yingshi's orders.

The third way, Chen Qimei of the League led the troops to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, because the Alliance did not have military power in Shanghai, so Chen Qimei could only join her brother Liu Fubiao to gather the children of the Qing Gang to form a death squad of more than 100 people, and the forty or fifty guns in his hand were still borrowed from the armed merchant group, and the armed merchant group was originally to help attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but Chen Qimei was worried that the armed merchant group was plotting a large number of arms from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, so she sternly rejected Li Yingshi's offer of support. and Liu Fubiao led more than a hundred death squads to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

On the side of the iron-blooded National Salvation Party, Ma Hanlong led the Zhenhua Company escort team of more than 2,000 people carrying heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars, mountain artillery, and large-caliber field howitzers to launch an attack from Baoshan to the direction of Songhu.

In the afternoon, Li Yingshi led more than 2,000 people to launch a fierce attack on the county seat, under the bombardment of four artillery, the south city gate collapsed, and the deputy commander Cai Wei led his troops to rush into the county, and captured the county government and Daotai all the way.

Due to Xiao Zhenlei's early instructions, after occupying the county seat, Cai Wei quickly took over the county treasury and the provincial treasury, confiscated the deposit receipts and passbooks of the government's money in the bank or bank, and took over the financial power and directly controlled the official financial institutions such as the Daqing Bank, and at the same time collected the Qing army, merged and gathered the Qing army to reorganize and organize into an army.

Stimulated, Chen Qimei and other allies and others had no military power, so Chen Qimei and Liu Fubiao and the death squad of more than 100 people formed by the children of the Qing Gang launched a fierce attack on the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau controlled by the Qing army at four o'clock in the afternoon. Due to the lack of firearms, he had to borrow forty or fifty rifles from Cai Wei in advance to barely scrape together enough weapons for the more than 100 daredevils, and made a number of homemade earth bombs.

After taking the death squad to the gate of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Chen Qimei immediately ordered Liu Fubiao to lead his troops to launch a decisive charge to the Manufacturing Bureau, but Zhang Shiheng, the general office stationed in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, had already prepared, and the fortifications at the door were piled up with Qi people's height, and two Makqin heavy machine guns loaded with bullet chains were placed in the defense gate.

A quarter of an hour after the attack, more than half of the death squad were killed and wounded, and when Liu Fubiao was also injured, Chen Qimei was so anxious that he had to order the death squad to retreat to safety and make another calculation.

Chen Qimei knew that it was not advisable to attack now, and that a strong attack would only increase casualties, so he decided to enter the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau alone to persuade Zhang Shiheng, the general office, to understand the reason and persuade him to surrender to the ** to avoid bloodshed.

In the face of Chen Qimei, who entered the manufacturing bureau alone, how could Zhang Shiheng not know Chen's plans? Not only was he unmoved, but he ordered his Qing soldiers to tie up Chen Qimei, and ordered Chen Qimei to be escorted to the gate of the manufacturing bureau to be beheaded for public display, so as to deter the remaining daredevils.

At this time, a soldier named Zhang Xingcun Qing Army immediately stood up to persuade Zhang Shiheng, and said that Zhang Shiheng's relatives and children were outside, once Chen Qimei was killed, the party members held a grudge, and what should they do if they wanted to retaliate in the future? The Zhang family is afraid that there will be a disaster of annihilation. When Zhang Shiheng heard this, he gave up his plan to kill Chen Qimei, and ordered the Qing soldiers to tie Chen Qimei up in the bathroom of the manufacturing bureau.

The news that Chen Qimei was seized by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau quickly spread, and Li Yingshi, who was taking over the Shanghai County Yahe Daotai Mansion with Cai Wei, heard the news and immediately took a part of the people to the rescue, at this time Cai Wei stopped him and said: "The county seat of Shanghai is initially decided, and Brother Yingshi needs to preside over the overall situation, as for just a Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the younger brother will lead a team of people to the rescue, and before seven o'clock tonight, the manufacturing bureau will be taken to rescue Chen Qimei and completely recover Shanghai!" ”

Li Yingshi admired Cai Wei very much, and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll ask you as soon as I get it, Chen Qimei is an important figure in the Alliance in Shanghai, there is no room for mistakes, you must do your best to save him!" ”

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll come when I go!"

Cai Wei already knew that Chen Qimei and those people couldn't attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau at all, and he was waiting for this opportunity, so he immediately led six hundred people to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and when they arrived at the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, it was already six o'clock in the evening, Liu Fubiao was taking the rest of the daredevils to hide and resist safely, and he still had gauze wrapped around his arm, and the gauze was stained with blood.

Cai Wei immediately ordered the soldiers of the armed merchant group to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the weapons and equipment of the armed merchant group were obviously much stronger than the death squads, not only everyone had sophisticated rifles, but also grenades and heavy machine guns, Cai Wei also brought an artillery cannon when he came, when the artillery was erected and fired two cannons at the door of the manufacturing bureau, Cai Wei immediately ordered the soldiers to launch a charge, and the Qing defenders at the door had been bombed by shells and suffered heavy casualties, and they could not organize effective resistance at all, and the rebel army under the command of Cai Wei rushed into the manufacturing bureau lightly, less than half an hour, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau fell into the hands of the rebel army, and the general office Zhang Shiheng was also captured.

Because Xiao Zhenlei had already given secret instructions that after capturing the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, he could not cause harm to the managers and workers of the Manufacturing Bureau, so although Zhang Shiheng and others were arrested, they did not suffer any harm.

Cai Wei approached Zhang Shiheng and said: "Now that the entire territory of Shanghai has been recovered, the Manufacturing Bureau has also been occupied by our iron-blooded National Salvation Party. Mr. Zhang, you are a talent, our party leader Mr. Xiao said that the reason why the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has become the current situation is not you, but the Qing court, now you have two choices, first, pack up your things and go home, we will not treat you and your family as well, second, stay and continue to manage the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but this will not be the same as before, we must carefully run the manufacturing bureau, and we must train enough qualified workers to start the machine to produce guns and ammunition for us, By the way, Jiangnan shipbuilding is also managed, to let the shipyard restart, build large warships to win glory for the country, if there is any problem, you can report to me directly, the main reasonable, I will definitely fully support you, what do you think? ”

Zhang Shiheng was still dead after being arrested, but after listening to Cai Wei's words, his mind was active again, he had already served as the general office of the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau, and had managed the Armed Forces Academy, he was Li Hongzhang's nephew, and he had come into contact with many people, and his knowledge was quite extensive. If he was caught by the Alliance or the Restoration Society, he believed that he would not die and would shed his skin, and seeing that this iron-blooded National Salvation Party not only did not kill him, but also reactivated him, which made him quite moved and emotional, and immediately straightened his clothes and knelt down and saluted: "I will definitely live up to the trust of adults!" ”

Cai Wei hurriedly helped him up and said: "General Manager Zhang, no, on behalf of the Shanghai branch of the Iron and Blood Salvation Party and the commander of the Shanghai Rebel Army, Ma Hanlong, I appoint you as the new general manager of the Manufacturing Bureau, I am your direct leader, and you are fully responsible for the affairs of the Manufacturing Bureau, so that the manufacturing bureau and the shipyard are all in motion, if there is a lack of funds, you write a report to me, and I will solve it for you, by the way, our ** army is not called an adult, just call me a chief, we are not happy to kneel and salute, pay attention in the future!" ”

Zhang Shiheng smiled: "Got it! ”

Cai Wei said again: "Also, you will arrange for someone to prepare to gather all the guns, artillery, bullets and shells that have been produced in the manufacturing bureau, and then our army will come over and take them to the southern front line to prepare for the attack on Jiangning!" ”

Zhang Shiheng arched his hand and said sternly: "Don't worry, sir, I will arrange someone to prepare for the humble post immediately!" ”

Soon, Ma Hanlong sent people to receive the finished weapons and ammunition from the manufacturing bureau, pulled all the ammunition away, and left a regiment of troops to garrison the Jiangnan manufacturing bureau and the shipyard.

After the recovery of Shanghai, Xiao Zhenlei soon received telegrams from Ma Hanlong, Cai Wei and other high-ranking officials of the Iron and Blood Salvation Party who remained in Shanghai, and at this time, Xiao Zhenlei also received messages from troops sent to other parts of Jiangsu to occupy all the territory south of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu and the area east of the Yangtze River estuary.

The telegram from Shanghai asked Xiao Zhenlei for our attitude toward the formation of a military government, and Xiao Zhenlei instructed that there was no need to take care of the formation of a military government, and that these should be tossed by the League, the Liberation Society, and the Constitution, and that we only need to seize military and financial power, obtain the post of minister of military orders, and immediately organize the recruitment of troops.
