Fang Jianxiong was receiving Tang Shanfu and Wu Xingzhou, representatives of the Wuhu gentry, and his uncle Fang Youxiao also came.

Before coming, the two went to see Zhu Xiufeng, the county magistrate, who had locked himself in the county government since the day of the revolution and refused to come out.

Fang Jianxiong was so busy that he didn't care about local affairs for a while.

"My lord, Wuhu is only two hundred miles away from Jiangning, the waterway can be reached in one day, and there is no obstacle on the ground, and the warships of the imperial court come from the river and bombard the industrial zone by the river, so how can it be done?" After a few polite words, Tang Shanfu expressed his worries. Today's Wuhu gentry are worried about the industrial zone because of the revolution. As far as scooping Tang Shanfu is concerned, he has a textile factory in the industrial zone, a printing and dyeing factory, and the eighth chapter of the second volume of the sea and the ninth town (above) (forty votes are also added) a quilt factory. Wu Xingzhou also has a meat factory and a canning factory in the industrial zone. Although this factory was built after the Eurasia Group, this year Eurasia took the initiative to withdraw its shares and completely turned the factory into a personal one.

At the beginning, Fang Jianxiong meant to give benefits to Sangzi, and the gentry were quite happy, but unexpectedly, Fang Jianxiong actually revolutionized!

"Fuguo, such a big family business is placed by the river, everyone is worried about this matter, you give an explanation." Fang Youxiao spoke in the tone of an elder, he was also worried in his heart, his interests were on the dock, once the Qing army sailors shelled the dock, the consequences would be unimaginable. In recent years, so many enterprises in the industrial zone and such a large investment in the wharf have to be destroyed in the war.

Fang Jianxiong hadn't had time to answer these three questions. An old man broke in from outside. The doorman didn't dare stop him. When the people in the house saw the old man, they all stood up and saluted. This Weng has a big name in Wuhu, Li Guangjiong, the founder of Anhui Public School. Mr. Li has worked hard to run education, and everyone on the ground in Wuhu must salute "Mr. Li".

"Fang Fuguo, take care of your subordinates, the recruitment office is located at the gate of my Anhui Public School. The children who made trouble were not in the classroom, and the eighth chapter of the second volume of the sea and the ninth town (first) (forty votes were also added) were clamoring to join the army! "When Li Guangjiong comes, he teaches people, and he doesn't look at the occasion. Fang Jianxiong didn't mind saluting again and again, he attached great importance to this old gentleman, and he could devote himself to education. It can't be overstated.

"Which bastard is so daring?" Fang Jianxiong scolded first, stepped forward to move a chair for the old gentleman, and asked, "Don't be angry, Mr. Li, you came just in time." I have something to discuss with you. ”

In the past two years, Anhui Public School has been very nourishing, Fang Jianxiong asked Gu Heng to set up an education fund, and the factories in the industrial zone have paid a small amount of money every year to support local education. Last year, Fang Jianxiong renovated the urban area of Wuhu, and also specially allocated funds to send an engineering team to repair the new school building, and had several dealings with Mr. Li.

Li Guangjiong is a kind-hearted person, and Fang Jianxiong supported education in the past, so he has a great appetite for him. Again. Anhui Public School itself was a distribution center for rebels. Fang Jianxiong made a revolution, and Li Guangjiong was still very supportive. Therefore, without paying attention, Fang Jianxiong deviated the topic, and subconsciously said, "What is the matter with you?" Li Guangjiong felt that Fang Jianxiong was a busy man now, and he said that there must be something important, so he talked about the big thing first, and put aside the matter of recruitment.

A few people on the side looked at each other and smiled, these people had all suffered the loss of Fang Hei Mansion. Master Fang is good at everything, but this crooked building's ability is too lethal, every time he comes to him for something. Sometimes I want to argue a few words, but the final result is that he forgets his original intention. However, everyone does not suffer in terms of actual interests.

"Mr. founded Anhui Public School, many years of hard work to educate talents, Jianxiong admired tight. Just this thing. It's very hard, Jian Xiong can't bear it! Fang Jianxiong began to put down the set.

"Don't talk about that. The old man didn't think it was bitter and talked about serious things. Li Guangjiong still had a very comfortable fart, and the menacing momentum was digested. With a wave of his hand, he spoke, very imposing. This is what Fang Jianxiong is used to!

"That's the case, the scale of Anhui public schools is growing day by day, and now that Anhui is independent, the situation will be stable in a few days, and I plan to build a provincial council to implement compulsory primary school education throughout the province. There has to be a premise for this, that is, teachers have to keep up. Therefore, I plan to change Anhui Public School to a normal university, which is ....... Fang Jianxiong said slowly, making a hesitant look.

Li Guangjiong was anxious first, and he couldn't sit still. stood up and said loudly: "The old man has done such a great thing with immeasurable merits. ”

"Mr. Li doesn't need to be in a hurry, you sit down and listen to me slowly." Fang Jianxiong smiled, this kind of gentleman with noble character had better fool around. After Li Guangjiong sat down, Fang Jianxiong caught a glimpse of Li Muyan coming in with two people. smiled slightly and said to Li Guangjiong: "First of all, you have to work hard to go to Anqing, and first take over the director of the Anhui Education Bureau." Secondly, Anhui Public School should be expanded, and Anhui Normal University should be located in the city, which will also be in the second half of the year, and the construction will be tighter and the time will come in time. You have to be the principal at the same time, and I don't feel at ease with others. Finally, I would like to ask for your support in my work. If the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not overthrown, there is no hope for the country. The artillery, surveying, mapping, and engineering of the revolutionary army all need soldiers and officers with a cultural foundation. "Fang Jianxiong is set again!

Li Guangjiong was completely caught up in him, and casually patted the case: "That can't, it must be overthrown by force." ”

Fang Jianxiong took it and said, "Yes, but look, I don't ask you to buy a cannon, and I don't have any money for you, right?" Can't I buy the cannon back, I don't have anyone to operate it. ”

After going around, Li Guangjiong reacted, it turned out that the initiator was Fang Jianxiong, and he came to him to reason with him, and he was blind!

"Hey! I feel sorry for those seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, who are still so young. I also know that their revolutionary enthusiasm is so high that I can't stop it! However, they are still children, and it is ...... to study hard for a few years. Li Guangjiong couldn't go on, sighed, and slapped his thigh.

Fang Jianxiong said with a smile: "I can understand the revolutionary enthusiasm of young people, isn't this also the result of your education?" Speaking of which, I want to thank you! Without the soil of revolutionary ideology in Anhui Public School, where did the young people enthusiastically sign up for the army? ”

Li Guangjiong was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Okay, the old man won't mention this." You have to hurry up with the affairs of Anhui Normal University. And the director of the education bureau, I will take office when the affairs of the normal university are implemented, and I have to find a few helpers and recruit some teachers to teach. ”

Li Guangjiong said and stood up and left, Fang Jianxiong sent it to the door, and when he came back, he looked at Li Muyan with a smile on his face, as well as Yang Yanchang and Han Ming standing in the courtyard, and said apologetically: "Mr. Mu Yan will invite the two of you to sit in the side hall for a while, I still have something to do here." ”

"We're fine!" Before the words fell, the three representatives came out. Tang Shanfu looked ashamed, and arched his hand: "Helping the country to repay Sangzi wholeheartedly, with the world in mind, we are really ashamed to delay your work at this juncture for the sake of personal profits." Please rest assured, I will appease the Chamber of Commerce and ensure that there will be no chaos. ”

Fang Jianxiong said with a smile: "This is the best, but please tell the two of you to tell the gentlemen, you can go to George, and he will recommend you to buy insurance from Meile Insurance Company, once the war spreads to the factory, the insurance company will cover your losses in the future." ”

This is another pit, and it is also something that Fang Jianxiong has planned for a long time. When you open an insurance company, it's still hard to lose money in this year. Of course, this is limited to their own territory, and it is really difficult to say outside. As long as it is said that the Beiyang Army is coming, this Fang Jianxiong is not worried at all, Yuan Shikai's old guy is cunning and cunning. Besides, isn't there Wuchang in front?

As for the Qing army's sailors, it seems that there is no tradition of firing at the property of innocent people.

The three of them took the initiative to go out, and Fang Jianxiong also sent them to the door. When he turned around, Yang Yanchang saluted and said, "I've seen Lord Fang!" ”

"Well, I'm too careful, since they're all my own comrades, I don't have to be so polite." Fang Jianxiong simply returned the salute, invited the two of them into the living room and sat down, and then said, "Let's talk about Jiang Ning's situation first." ”

With Yang Yanchang's narration, the recent situation of the ninth town is basically explained. As soon as the gun rang out in Wuchang, Anhui followed with independence, followed by Hunan, Jiangxi, and Shaanxi. Uprisings continued throughout the country, and the fires of uprisings along the Yangtze River broke out everywhere.

Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang in Jiangning, was extremely uneasy about the new army, relying on Zhang Xun's Jiangfang battalion and patrol battalion plus 20,000 people, first moved the ninth town to defend Ziling Pass, and then withdrew ammunition and sent troops to guard. Even the muzzle of the cannon was aimed in the direction of the Ninth Town. A stance that is always ready to fight.

The contradiction between the old and new armies was already deep, and the imperial court invested heavily in the new army, which was the most unconvincing part of the old army. The two sides have clashed before, but now at this juncture, with the support of the two sides, the old army is even more arrogant, trying its best to suppress the new army without mentioning it.

The Ninth Town controlled Xu Shaojiao, although sympathetic to the revolution. However, this person has a soft personality and did not harden at first. Coupled with his cautious and hesitant personality, it is difficult to move the troops out of the city after passively. First of all, the problem of ammunition can't be solved, the ninth town is only three bullets per capita, what to scoop to attack the city? Although the soldiers were bullied by the old army and had a strong desire to fight, Xu Shaojiao couldn't bear to let his brothers scoop bayonets to fight bullets.

Xu Shaojiao once fantasized that Zhang Renjun could consciously abandon the Manchu position and declare independence. took the director of the council to persuade him, and almost caused Zhang Xun to be scooped down and unable to return to the barracks.

In the end, it was Shen Tongwu, the co-commander, who came up with an idea, and asked Yang Yanchang and Han Ming of the Alliance to go to Anqing to find Fang Jianxiong for help. In addition, he also sent people to Zhenjiang and Shanghai, hoping that Zhenjiang Lin Shuqing and the Shanghai Revolutionary Party would support some ammunition.

After listening to Yang Yanchang's narration, Fang Jianxiong immediately asked, "How many round-headed bullets are there in the warehouse?" ”

Adjutant Duan Feng immediately replied: "I went to count it the day before yesterday, and there are still 28 million grains, mainly the remnants of the Qingdao German army after they were redressed, as well as some of the original patrol battalion reserves. Anqing also needs to send a batch of round-headed bombs, which are equipped with a lot of old-fashioned 1888 and Hanyang-made. ”！！！
