Fuzhou City in October was originally a time when the wind was high and cool, but some time ago it had just rained a few times, and the air seemed to be able to smell the smell of rain, and this horse galloping against the wind could also feel the slightest coolness!

Chen Jingyun and Ma Guan Belt, Lin Chengkun three horses from the south school field, Chen Jingyun is wearing a new cyan military uniform, black boots, epaulettes yellow and red cross as the background color, three dragon pattern gold buckles, collar badges are three gold edges and a half around the golden dragon spit treasure blue beads, according to the late Qing Dynasty New Army rank system, it is the first level of the middle, with the leadership of the staff, is the third grade. This is changed to a Western-style military rank about the same as colonel! At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the military ranks of the new army were strictly controlled, and one official and one position were implemented, and there were only a few higher ranks than Chen Jingyun in the entire Fujian! It is completely different from the situation of generals running all over the ground in the following decades of the Republic of China.

Walking on the street on horseback, looking at the buildings with obvious historical charm on the street, and then looking at the pedestrians on the road, Chen Jingyun felt strange and familiar at the same time, he should have felt strange about these, but the memory of Chen Jingyun made him feel familiar with these. Even he couldn't figure out whether he had seized Chen Jingyun's body or whether Chen Jingyun had devoured his soul.

After sighing, his eyes swept away, and he suddenly remembered when he looked at the horses that the horse pipe belt and Lin Chengkun were riding. There were not many war horses in this new army, and there were only nearly fifty war horses in total, and the horse pipe belt and the horse that Lin Chengkun was riding should still be borrowed from the horse team.

Perhaps sensing Chen Jingyun's gaze, the horse pipe belt grinned at Chen Jingyun!

This horse pipe belt surnamed Ma Mingcheng, according to his own meaning of taking the horse to the success, used to be a sentry officer of the old army, and later Fujian from the battalions of the old army to draw strong strength into the new army, Ma Cheng with a brave force, stunned to squeeze into the opportunity to enter the new army, to the 38th standard of the second battalion as a positive eye, and later Chen Jingyun served as the second battalion of the second battalion of the belt slowly raised Ma Cheng as a team officer, thus becoming Chen Jingyun's henchman, at the beginning of the year Chen Jingyun temporarily signed the 38th standard of the belt, Naturally, Ma Cheng was brought up again to serve as the pipe band of the second battalion.

And Lin Chengkun is Chen Jingyun's in-law, Chen Jingyun's sister married Lin Chengkun's eldest brother as his wife, after having such a relationship, Lin Chengkun, who only graduated from the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy this year, was recruited by Chen Jingyun as soon as he returned to Fuzhou, and is now serving as a supervisor in the second battalion of the 38th standard, and also serves as an officer of Chen Jingyun's personal army.

These two people can be said to have been recruited by Chen Jingyun himself, and they are naturally cronies among his cronies, and they are both entrusted with important tasks.

It is precisely because of this relationship that these two people will immediately inform Chen Jingyun of the news of the Wuchang Uprising.

Although the south school field is some distance from Liuhe Lane, it will arrive after a short trot on a horse. As soon as he entered the south school field, someone greeted him and led the horse, and after getting off the horse, Chen Jingyun followed the memory in his mind to the mark, and after entering the door, Chen Jingyun looked at the commander of the thirty-eighth standard slightly, and found that it was almost the same as in his memory.

At this time, there were several people in the headquarters, and Chen Jingyun looked at it, and compared it with the memory in his mind, he knew the identities of these people.

The man in civilian clothes, about forty years old, is the thirty-eighth standard coach Feng Qin, the deputy staff leader, this person is not tall, and even looks a little thin, but don't look at him like this, this is really a fight, three or five strong men can't get close to him. This Feng Qin is Chen Jingyun's successor, when Chen Jingyun was transferred from the 38th standard coach to the second battalion management band, it was Feng Qin who took his place. In the past two years, things have been done without leakage and impartiality, so that people can't find a little fault.

When Chen Jingyun was in charge of the 38th standard at the beginning of the year, he originally wanted to install this coach as his own, but he couldn't find Feng Qin's fault for a while, so he could only let him go. After all, in the new army these years, all the main positions are in charge of power, and the deputy position is a very embarrassing position, although the status is high, but there is not much real power, that is, it is just to put forward opinions in ordinary times.

Opposite Feng Qin is an officer in his thirties, led by the assistant staff, this person's name is Xiao Qibin, and he is the pipe band of the artillery battalion, although this person is familiar with Chen Jingyun, but the artillery battalion is directly under the jurisdiction of the town commander's office, and the infantry battalion can be said to be a different system, and the relationship is naturally inferior to Ma Cheng.

In addition to these two people, there are also several secretaries and other commanders of the headquarters!

Chen Jingyun and the others in the room came in, so they naturally hurriedly got up to greet them, and Feng Qin took a step forward: "Lord Chen, you are here!" ”

Chen Jingyun nodded and said, "Hmm! ”

After answering, Chen Jingyun turned his head to a secretary and said, "Go and invite all the chief officials above the team to come over to discuss the matter!" ”

Not to mention that when the clerk went to invite someone, Chen Jingyun turned his head to Feng Qin, Ma Cheng, Xiao Qibin, Lin Chengkun and others: "Come in the meeting hall!" ”。

Compared with Ma Cheng and Lin Chengkun, who knew about the outbreak of the revolution in Wuchang, Feng Qin and Xiao Qibin were confused, they hadn't learned the news of the Wuchang Revolution yet, after all, there was no direct telegram here in the south school, and the news should not be able to be transmitted for a while.

After these people sat down, there was no need to command, and the orderlies of the commander's office served tea, and no one came, Chen Jingyun naturally did not rush to say the news of the Wuchang uprising, but just spoke to everyone according to the memory in his mind: "Lord Feng, how are things in the military camp in the past few days when I am not there?" ”

Immediately, Feng Qin put down the teacup with a respectful face: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have been acting in accordance with your previous instructions in the past few days, and there has been no mess!" ”

Feng Qin's seemingly respectful appearance and his ability to do things can be described as a drop of water is the means to keep his position as a coach for several years, of course, this is just a matter of face, and there are naturally many unsightly means in the low.

Chen Jingyun nodded, this southern school field is not only the base camp of the 38th standard, but also stationed other town-affiliated troops, and the new army in the entire Fuzhou City is stationed here, such a critical place cannot be chaotic in the current situation.

Then Chen Jingyun turned his gaze to Xiao Qibin: "The Shanghui heard from the commander that he bought six new Krupp 75 rifles for the artillery battalion, and I think it should have arrived in the past few days!" "In addition to the second battalion in the south school field, although the other troops are not under the direct jurisdiction of Chen Jingyun, there is only the 38th standard command office in the south school field, and there is only one standard such as Chen Jingyun.

Xiao Qibin is obviously much more bold than Feng Qin: "Thanks to Chen Biaotong's promotion in front of the commander, he finally pulled these six cannons back!" The brothers are stepping up their training, and it won't be long before they can form a team! ”

Xiao Qibin has a lot of emotion in his words, the tenth town is located in Fujian, in the early years of training has been a lack of funds, so many years although trained into ten battalions of infantry, but the artillery standard horse standard and other types of troops have always been lacking, the original thousand cavalry force of the horse standard has only been trained into a team of 50 cavalry, and the artillery standard has only been refined into a battalion of two teams of a total of 12 guns, half of which is a domestic 57 mm mountain artillery, half of which is a Krupp 75 mm mountain artillery, since the beginning of the year after the outbreak of turmoil in Guangzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang Governor Song Shou was afraid that Fujian would be invaded by the Guangdong rebelsOriginally, the ordered artillery would not be available until it was shipped from abroad, but Xiao Qibin learned that there were six field guns in stock at Jardine Matheson House, so he pulled Chen Jingyun and a few others to persuade Sun Daoren, saying that it was too slow to order from abroad, and later Sun Daoren told Songshou about it, so he added 20% of the price and pulled back the six guns originally ordered by other provinces.

"Yes, after all, if there is a war, with the support of the brothers of the artillery battalion, we infantry can get twice the result with half the effort!" Chen Jingyun has already started to win over Xiao Qibin, if not for anything else, just for the eighteen cannons in his hand!

It didn't take long for him to say this, the door of the council hall was pushed open, and then a group of officers walked in one after another, and this group of officers were naturally the heads of the various departments in the south school field.

While Chen Jingyun looked at the past one by one, he flipped through the memories in his mind, trying to find out the so-called revolutionary party elements from these people.

The first to walk in were the four officers of the second battalion, these four officers were all promoted from below by Chen Jingyun himself, although he was not sure whether they were revolutionaries or not, but his relationship with them was naturally good, and he belonged to his cronies like Ma Cheng. He was followed by Huang Anyuan, the officer of the horse team, Lin Wenying of the engineering battalion and the two officers under him. In the back, there were also officers from the baggage battalion and the military band who came in one after another.

In a short time, all the officers above the team in the South Campus have arrived!

Obviously, like Feng Qin and them, these people didn't know much about Chen Jingyun summoning everyone to discuss the matter for the peace meeting, so they naturally showed a puzzled expression on their faces.

After everyone sat down, Chen Jingyun did not waste time: "Lin Chengkun, you can tell me about last night!" ”

Lin Chengkun said: "Yes! Then he got up and looked around and said: "According to the telegram, there was a rebellion in the new army on the Wuchang side last night, and the rebel army has occupied Wuchang City, Wu Zhaolin and Xiong Bingkun and other officers supported Li Yuanhong as the overseer, and issued a notice to the whole country!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed greatly! Chen Jingyun, who was sitting at the top, carefully observed the reactions of the officers below, and secretly made a decision to the officers below: This one can be co-opted, that one cannot be co-opted, this one is loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and that one is inclined to revolution.

The four officers of the second battalion reacted better than Chen Jingyun imagined, only to see that they looked at Chen Jingyun in unison after they showed their surprise, obviously taking Chen Jingyun as the backbone, and listening to Chen Jingyun's orders at the critical moment. And Feng Qin was expressionless as always, squinting as if he hadn't heard. Huang Anyuan, the commander of the horse battalion, flashed a hint of joy in surprise, while Lin Wenying, the engineer battalion manager, and the two officers under him also showed joy, although they showed it very lightly, but it still made Chen Jingyun see it.

As for Chen Jingyun's valued artillery battalion pipe band, Xiao Qibin was surprised and fell into deep thought, which made Chen Jingyun feel a little strange, this is not normal if he is not angry or happy, and the two officers under him looked at Xiao Qibin together.

In this short moment, Chen Jingyun saw everyone's reactions, and even guessed their identities slightly. However, Chen Jingyun was not surprised or angry that so many officers were inclined to the revolution, after all, even Chen Jingyun himself planned to contact the revolutionary party.

"This news has not spread yet, but this news will eventually spread, and I am afraid that the entire city of Fuzhou will know about it by tonight. At this juncture, I don't care what happens outside, but here in the South Campus, I only ask for one thing, and that is 'stability'! Chen Jingyun gradually turned cold as he spoke: "In the past few days, all departments have strictly ordered soldiers not to leave the camp or make trouble, and violators will be severely punished!" ”

Then he instructed Feng Qindao: "Wait for the order to go down, close the camp gate, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave!" ”

But as soon as he finished saying this, a gunshot rang out outside the door!

The crisp sound of gunfire was like a tsunami, which rolled up the earth-shattering waves in everyone's hearts: "Is something wrong?" ”
