After the first meeting was held, Yan Shao, Li Guoyun and Li Liang went to Anqing, where they completed the registration of the Reform Society at the governor's yamen in Anqing—————— which was necessary, even when the Constitutional Preparatory Council in Shanghai was established, let alone in the relatively conservative Anhui.

As the second constitutional organization in the country, the establishment of the Reform Association has attracted a lot of attention, especially when the chairman of the Reform Association is Yan Shao.

"Will it be innovative..."In the study, looking at the letterhead that had just been delivered to his hand, Wang Daoming twisted the beard on his chin with his hand. Sounds interesting..."

Thinking of this, Wang Daoming waved his hand. "Xiuxiu, pen and ink waiting..."

"Yes, sir..."Standing aside, the maid who looked to be only 13 or 4 years old leaned in, and after pulling up her sleeves to reveal her white and flawless arms, she stretched out her hand to study ink for Wang Daoming.

And looking at the posture of this Xiuxiu when he studied ink, he was already more than 60 years old, but Wang Daoming, who usually looked dignified, showed a soul that could not be stopped.

"It's a pity, the tigress at home is too powerful..."Thinking of the original partner who was more than 10 years younger than himself, Wang Daoming lowered his head with some regret.

On the side, Xiuxiu had already studied the ink for him, and after lifting a brush, Wang Daoming wrote a reply, and it took about ten minutes before he handed over the letter that had been written to the housekeeper who had just been called in.

"Go, arrange for someone to send this letter to Wuhu..."

"Master, don't worry, I'll arrange people..."

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Wang Daoming nodded with satisfaction. It wasn't until the butler left the study that he refocused his attention on Xiuxiu.

On the side, Xiuxiu didn't care at all. Because everyone in the mansion knows that the most powerful person in this mansion is not the perverted master in front of him, but the hostess who can be called a female man.

As long as the hostess roars as a lion in Hedong, the old man in front of her will never dare to violate it at all, which can be seen from the fact that she has been in the mansion for such a long time, and the old man in front of her is always confused, but he doesn't even dare to touch himself.

Except for Wang Daoming. Many local celebrities chose to resume after receiving the letterhead.

After the innovation meeting was recognized, more and more Anhui gentry chose to join the innovation meeting, but the total number of people in the entire innovation association reached more than 200 in just over three months. In contrast, there are only a dozen or twenty other constitutional organizations that have been established in Anhui since then. The largest one is only about 30 people, and it can't be compared with the Innovation Club in all aspects...

At this point, the situation of the Reform Society has been thoroughly established.

————————————————————

Lighting a cigarette in the corner, Lin Yan, who had just finished a class, spit out a smoke ring with a very cool expression. It is said that a cigarette after a meal is happy like a fairy. For Lin Yan, the same is true after class.

As a teacher in the Martial Arts Academy. Lin Yan is still quite satisfied with his current life, with an honorable status and a good salary. Moreover, the military academy is a place to train officers of the new army, and the students who go out of here will be able to hold official positions more or less in the new army in the future.

Before the reform of the Qing military system, the Qing court had begun to emphasize literature over military force. After the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, this situation aroused the dissatisfaction of some military ministers, who accused them of "negotiating the official system and compiling chronicles" in the past. It is mostly from the hands of civil ministers, and its intention is to emphasize literature and light military force. As everyone knows, the state has established military positions. I wanted it to defend it, and its responsibility was not lighter than that of Wenchen." Therefore, one of the purposes of reforming the official system should be to "make the habit of overpowering people's feelings, so that the civil and military will gradually return to the same discipline." As a result, the Military Advisory Office issued to the imperial court the "Table of Differences between the Ranks of Army Officers and Military Adjutant Officers with Civilian Officials and Supplementary Officers", which greatly improved the status of military attachés.

In the new regulations, even if it is only a full military academy (company commander) in the new army, it is equivalent to the fifth rank among civilian officials, and it is the same as Zhili Zhizhou. And an assistant staff leader (battalion commander) is equivalent to the fourth rank of civilian officials, and he is a fellow Taoist. As for the Xiedu Tong (brigade commander), it is equivalent to the second rank, and the governor and the political envoy are at the same level.

However, this is not surprising, because the number of new troops during this period was quite scarce, even in a large province of more than 30 million people like Anhui, only a new army was organized and trained, and the total number of new troops was only more than 4,000 people.

In other words, when the students of the Martial Arts Academy all graduated from the academy, Lin Yan could at least be said to be very weighty, if not he could say that he was full of peach and plums...

However, just as he was about to enjoy a break here, he suddenly caught a glimpse of more than a dozen students in the school in the corner, there were 'sneaky' and didn't know what Lu Dao was doing.

Thinking of the 'revolutionary party' problem that seemed to be very serious recently, Lin Yan frowned, he was not disgusted with the revolutionary party, but he still put out his cigarette and got up and walked over.

"Hey, what are you guys doing there!"

When Lin Yan stood up, those students had already discovered him, so he didn't show any panicked expression on his face, and the person who was surrounded in the middle even got up to greet him. "It's nothing, Lin Jiaoxi, we're talking about the 'Innovation Society'..."

It was Xiao Yongyan who got up, and just now these people were indeed talking about things related to the 'Innovation Society' as he said, but it was difficult to say which Innovation Society it was.

"Innovation Society..."Lin Yan frowned, and at the same time recognized Xiao Yongyan.

After recognizing Xiao Yongyan as one of the students sent in by the Yushi Group, Lin Yan nodded. "In that case, then you can continue to talk—" He said, turning away and continuing to enjoy his rest.

The matter of the Innovation Association has already spread, and as a teacher of the Martial Arts Academy, of course Lin Yan is unlikely to know about the matter, and he also knows very well that the chairman of the Innovation Association is Yan Shao.

But what really matters is that he doesn't bother to pay attention to whether what Xiao Yongyan just said is true or false, and even if it is false, what does it have to do with him?

Seeing Lin Yan turn around and leave, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

They were talking about the Renewal Society. But this revolution is a different kind of innovation meeting.

After glancing around with some vigilance, one of the students spoke. "When are you going to do it, sir?"

After this student spoke, several other students also spoke in agreement.

Hear them say that. Xiao Yongyan smiled a little bitterly.

After entering the martial arts academy, Xiao Yongyan did not develop members with great fanfare, but screened very carefully, and did not start until confirmed.

After all, if you are not cautious enough, it is easy to cause a lot of problems, and there are also people from the Alliance within the Martial Arts Academy, and if you accidentally pull the people of the Alliance in, then things will be troublesome.

So in the past few months, Xiao Yongyan has only developed more than ten students in the academy. But now that the 'Reform Society' has been officially established, they will be able to use this name as a cover in the future, just like they did just now...

It's just that although Xiao Yongyan has chosen those students with a calmer personality to develop. But after all, the people who will join the academy are all young students, and their personalities will inevitably be a little impulsive. While other revolutionary organizations were constantly revolting in various places, they who had already joined the Reform Society also became a little curious about when the organization to which they belonged would take action.

"I've already asked my husband about this...", there was a slight silence. After looking up, I looked around. After making sure that there was indeed no one eavesdropping on the side, Xiao Yongyan spoke. "Sir said that we must be cautious about the uprising, and we must wait until the right time and complete preparations to launch it..."

"The right time?"

"That's right." Xiao Yongyan nodded. "We are different from the situation of the League and other organizations, if the League fails, at least they can return to Japan, but if we fail, where can we retreat? Mr.'s foundation is in Wuhu, and you have all seen the current situation in Wuhu, which is almost changing with each passing day, which is also the best verification of Mr. Nationalism. ”

"If you succeed in the uprising now, everyone will be happy, but if it fails. Everything in Wuhu will be gone, and you know the Xiangshan Iron Works that is under construction and the Wuhu New City that has begun to be planned. Therefore, we must be cautious, cautious, cautious, and wait for the right time to succeed! ”

"A success..."Hearing Xiao Yongyan's words, the other students who were originally a little impetuous all nodded. They have all been to Wuhu to see, and they have seen the changes in Wuhu, and they have even heard Yan Shao personally introduce his grand plan, in fact, it is precisely because of the changes in Wuhu that they will eventually choose to join the Innovation Association, rather than the Alliance Association that is also secretly developed in the Martial Arts Academy.

"Looks like we'll have to wait a long time," muttered a student after a moment's silence.

"There's no way to do this..."Xiao Yongyan reassured after laughing. As you can see from the number of revolts of the League, the revolution is not so easy to succeed..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yongyan remembered what Yan Shao had said to him in the office.

"It is not difficult to revolt, the difficult thing is how to overthrow the Qing court after the uprising, at the moment all walks of life are not completely disappointed with the Qing court, even if it is an uprising, it is difficult to get a response from other provinces, and at that time we will be isolated and helpless, and our end can be imagined..."

Although later generations had mixed opinions about the constitutionalists, one thing is certain, that is, the constitutionalists did play a significant role in the Xinhai Revolution.

This is also a reason why Yan Shao wants to set up a reform association to win over celebrities from all walks of life in Anhui.

At present, the constitutionalists still have great expectations for the Qing court, and if it were not for this, they would not vigorously promote the constitutionalism, so what Yan Shao had to do was to wait for the Qing court to make its own stupid move and get a royal cabinet to appear.

Historically, it was precisely because of the emergence of the imperial cabinet that the constitutionalists everywhere were completely disillusioned with the Qing court and turned to the revolutionary party...

————————————————————

Xiao Yongyan and they have been waiting for the opportunity that Yan Shao said, but the time he said did not come, but it was another big event.

Probably more than half a month after Xiao Yongyan and their detailed discussion, the news of Enming's assassination suddenly came from Anqing, and the assassin was Xu Xilin in the original history...

This incident soon caused a sensation in Anhui and even in the whole country, after all, the assassination was carried out by the governor of a place, not an ordinary official.

Sitting alone in the study, Yan Shao looked at the newspapers placed on the table.

He doesn't know a lot about the things of this era, but he remembers many important things, such as the Wuchang Uprising, because the process is too interesting, and there are too many accidents, and for example, Enming was assassinated—————— he will know that Lu Dao is completely because of Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin.

Although Yan Shao's academic performance is not good, he has heard of Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin, which is why he knows that Lu Dao Enming was killed in July of 07.

This is also the reason why Yan Shao was shocked by the news when he learned the news. You must know that it is only December of 06, and there are still seven or eight months to go from July of 07. In other words, Enming shouldn't have been killed at this time.

Originally, after coming to this world, Yan Shao had been worried that after he had made so many changes, the history he originally knew would change beyond his control, but now it seems that what he was worried about has indeed happened...

"If that's the case, will the Wuchang Uprising in history still happen..."

Standing up from his seat, Yan Shao said with some worry in his heart.

If the Wuchang uprising doesn't happen, or if it happens like other uprisings, then the things that Yan Shao needs to consider will become much more complicated.

After all, Wuhu alone, if there is no other place responsible for containing the Qing army, it will be difficult to resist the Qing army's attack. In the face of the attack of the Qing army in history, the revolutionary party in Wuhan successively lost Hanyang and Hankou in the three towns of Wuhan, and only one Wuchang was left in the end, and it was precisely because of this incident that the Wuhan revolutionary party and Huang Xing broke up.

On the other hand, the revolutionary party in Wuhan was able to block the Qing army in Wuchang at the beginning, not because of their strength, but because Yuan Shikai wanted to reap enough benefits at that time to order the people below to do so.

Therefore, if Yan Shao takes the lead in the uprising, he must consider whether he will end up with the Wuhan Revolutionary Party, and it is difficult to say whether Yuan Shikai will command his subordinates at that time as he did in Wuhan, and Yan Shao does not intend to make bets on this.

However, he is not unprepared... (To be continued......)
