"The fourth master is really clever, you see, the revolutionary army has attacked!"

Chen Qimei took the glasses that the jailer had just carefully wiped for him, put them in his ear with a smile, turned back to the prison that was temporarily converted into a warehouse, and said lightly, "Go"!

Behind him, most of them were injured Jingwu members and children of the Green Gang, although most of them were disarmed now, but with the help of those jailers who had already been 'mentioned' by Yang Meng, they were now almost barely equipped with a wooden stick or shovel as a weapon.

These people were originally the Shanghai death squad responsible for attacking the fortifications, and after walking between life and death, there was inevitably an extra aura of slaughter in their spirits.

In the words of the jailer, this is called iron-blooded anger, but what makes people feel amazing is that it is these iron-blooded men who are in the fire in their blood, but they are desperate to obey Chen Qimei, who is like a weak scholar.

Although Chen Qimei claims to be a scholar, he is decisive and agile, and is known as the "Four Jie" in Shanghai, so some people call him Mr. Sijie or Siye.

These four shortcuts are quick to speak, quick to think, quick to means, and quick to act.

Otherwise, Chen Qimei would not have become a Shanghai tycoon who made Huang Jinrong jealous of three points just by virtue of a Jingwu Association that taught national arts.

Of course, Chen Qimei stepped on the pinnacle of his life step by step because of these 'four victories', but this time he was caught by mistake, but it was also because of these 'four victories'.

Actually, it should be because he was too agile in his actions.

Before the Shanghai Uprising, Chen Qimei and Li Xie made an appointment with the two of them to start up together, but because the uprisings in other provinces and cities after the Wuchang Uprising were almost all done at once, Chen Qimei naturally thought that Shanghai was almost within reach.

Therefore, after many business tycoons agreed on the time of the uprising, he simply led the death squad to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau alone half a day in advance.

Naturally, he did this because he wanted to seize the lead in recovering Shanghai.

As a result, the first merit was not grabbed, and even he himself was captured by the Qing soldiers.

If it weren't for Yang Meng and Huang Jinrong secretly making a move, I'm afraid he would still be unable to get out of trouble now.

These things. Chen Qimei naturally knew better than anyone else in his heart, but he was not discouraged at all, because from the moment Yang Meng handed the key to him, he had already quickly formulated another set of action plans.

A plan to continue to compete with Li Xiehe for the governor of Shanghai was also a credit that was enough to make the revolutionary army look sideways.

Li Xiehe joined the Huaxing Society in his early years, and later participated in the Guangfu Society and the Alliance Society, after the failure of the Ping, Li, and Liu uprisings. He once ordered Nanyang to teach as a profession, and in the minds of overseas Chinese righteous people in the Nanyang lineage, it can be said that his prestige is very high.

Tao Chengzhang reorganized the Restoration Society, and received great help from Li Xiehe, so this person is now not only the backbone of the Alliance, but also one of the main spiritual leaders of the New Restoration Society.

In just a dozen days. The new army, including the military and police contingent, which rebelled against the entire Shanghai army, is enough to see that Li Xiehe is very capable.

However, he is such a person, but now he is regarded as Chen Qimei's biggest competitor.

Even if he learned that Chen Qimei had been captured, he urgently ordered the Guangfu Army to go all out to help in the early hours of the morning, and attacked the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau with the other two forces regardless of casualties, Chen Qimei was still unwilling to admit defeat.

Because, not only Yu Haqing, Wang Yiting, Shen Manyun and other industrialists are because of the alliance he joined. Even business celebrities such as Li Pingshu and Zhu Baosan sponsored the revolution because of Chen Qimei.

What's more, he also mastered the armed forces of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce, so that the League would widely advance its social base.

What's more, he also has the brothers of the Green Gang and the elites of the Jingwu Association behind him.

When everyone takes the first step, it is difficult to go back, Li Xiehe can't, and he Chen Qimei can't.

has come to this point, whether the two of them want to fight for the position of governor in their hearts or not. They all have to fight with all their might, because the brothers behind them will never watch their opponents sit in the first place.

Therefore, both of them only have the road in front of them, there is nothing to do behind them, and there is no shore to turn back.

Speaking of which, Chen Qimei also wants to sincerely thank Yang Meng. If it weren't for his secret planning and timely action, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the chaotic crisis of the bureau and risk the idea of capturing the armory first.

This is the first arsenal in Asia, and the self-produced ordnance and ammunition in it are not as good as imports. The inventory that can be squeezed down from Li Hongzhang's time is said to be enough to equip the entire Shanghai Youth Gang.

With these 100,000 young gang soldiers, Chen Qimei is confident that even Nanjing will be taken together.

Therefore, this battle can only be won and not defeated.

Luckily, with the help of a few jailers, they had already figured out the internal environment and defense structure of the Manufacturing Bureau, and even though they didn't even have a pistol in their hands now, they still managed to kill all the way to the armory.

The use of the word 'kill' may be a bit excessive, and the use of the word 'rush' may be more appropriate, because the shape of the manufacturing bureau that was flanked before and after, the Qing soldiers who were still holding their posts almost fled when they heard the wind, and often everyone just raised the wooden sticks and shovels in their hands, and the Qing soldiers with muskets obediently disarmed and surrendered!

Therefore, when these men who had died once were happily re-equipped with weapons and ammunition, and rushed to the Qing soldiers who were almost unable to break the army without fear of death, the merchant group that rushed in through the back door suddenly fell into a huge surprise......

"Mr. Sijie is really powerful, and he has the ability to turn the tide and seize the armory first!"

Pan Yueqiao and Xia Yueheng were already exhausted to death, but when they saw Chen Qimei with an indifferent face, they quickly organized people to equip the Lingye merchant group in the same tribulation, and the balance in their hearts naturally completely fell to Chen Qimei, who pretended to be mysterious.

"Let all the brothers of the merchant group and the Green Gang immediately change their costumes, organize a formation and support Xie and Brother Xie at the front door with me!"

Chen Qimei, who had long known that Li Xiehe had stormed the front door, did not rush to attack the front door after regaining the loyalty of the merchant group, but used the name of righteousness to let Li Xiehe face the counterattack of the Qing soldiers who tried to break through alone, and he quietly reversed the disadvantage of being captured.

Although both sides are revolutionaries, this position is extremely important.

He Chen Qimei can't compete for power and profit openly, but he can take advantage of this time difference to completely control the entire merchant group and the Qing Gang after changing clothes again.

If he is one step slower, he will be branded as being rescued by Li Xiehe, and if he competes with Li Xiehe for the position of governor, he will inevitably be saddled with the infamy of ingratitude.

Luckily, he was faster than Lee Seop.

Therefore, now it has become him Chen Qimei who took the armory first, and led a cadre of soldiers from the merchant group to rush to the aid of Li Xiehe! ~

This is Chen Qimei's clever means of turning her hands into clouds and covering her hands into rain, and this is the well-known Mr. Sijie in Shanghai.

Whether it is said that he is scheming or that he is good at manipulating authority, he Chen Qimei still won the most important piece of this merit in the end.

Therefore, when these two people looked at each other from afar in the chaos of war, they knew that from then on, brothers would become passers-by.

This is not only the dispute between Chen Qimei and Li Xiehe, but also the battle between the Alliance and the Restoration Society......

When the war gradually stopped, the revolutionary army, which was originally fighting side by side, turned into two teams with distinct meridians because of the silent confrontation between two people in such a delicate situation......

"The Wusong Fort garrison is still not right, so I will lead my troops to take down the water camp!"

I don't know how long it took, Li Xiehe finally took the lead in breaking the silence between the two, but there was still a hint of expectation in his eyes when he looked at Chen Qimei.

"Wusong has always been the gateway to Shanghai, an important place for soldiers to fight, with Xie and his brother in control, my brother is grateful!"

To Li Xiehe's disappointment, the brotherhood for many years was still not as good as the throne of the governor of the Shanghai army, although he saw a hint of dodging in Chen Qimei's eyes, but he heard the last voice he wanted to hear......

Therefore, at the post-war meeting to elect the governor of Shanghai, naturally not a single member of the Liberation Council participated!

Several business tycoons were also silent, although they admired Li Xiehe's strength in commanding the army, but they were able to join the alliance.

This was a victorious conference, but it was also a divided conference, because at the same time that Chen Qimei was appointed as the military governor of Shanghai and quickly issued the Anmin proclamation, Li Xiehe also established a military and political branch in Wusong and appointed himself as the governor of Wusong......

One city, two governments, two governors.
