When the Hangzhou Uprising broke out, the new governor of Zhejiang, Zeng Yun, was worried about various case files. To be honest, he was transferred from the position of the political envoy of Zhili to be the governor in the future, which is of course a promotion, but Zeng Yun personally thinks that this official is better than not being promoted. Because Zhejiang's side has been obviously unstable recently. That damn article was also made by the chaotic party here in Zhejiang. Now the development of the situation is exactly the same as what is said here, and it is strange that the chaotic party in Zhejiang does not take the opportunity to rebel. So Zeng Yun felt that it would be good if he was still in Zhili. Not to mention anything else, at least, the army on the Zhili side is still a reliable one.

Among the banner people, Zeng Yun is also an outlier. He was born in Mongolia with the Yellow Banner, although strictly speaking, he is not an orthodox Manchurian, but in the eyes of most Manchurian nobles, the reliability of the Mongolian Eight Banners still exceeds that of the Han Eight Banners, let alone ordinary Han people. So when the southeast is unstable, being able to send a Mongol there is also a good choice in the eyes of the Manchurian aristocracy. On the other hand, Zeng Yun had a good relationship with the local powerful faction headed by Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong, and let him come to the south, and the local powerful faction would be more acceptable.

So Zeng Yun became the governor of Zhejiang. Just two days after becoming governor, there was a comedy in the capital about Emperor Guangxu and the Empress Dowager Cixi falling in love and killing each other, and then, Zeng Yun immediately knew that Zhejiang had been infiltrated by the chaotic parties.

On the third day after the death of the Empress Dowager Cixi, his old friend Shen Junru found him, discussed the situation in the world with him, and bluntly said that the Qing court was immoral, and suggested that Zeng Yun should raise the banner of righteousness and hang the people to fight crimes. What else does "'Tangwu Revolution follows the heavens and responds to the people', and today is also". Zengyun honestly scared a lot.

However, Zeng Yun, as an official of the imperial court, did not immediately perform his duties and arrested Shen Junru, who advocated chaos, but only advised him not to talk nonsense. Yes, it's just an exhortation, not even a warning. Because first, Shen Junru is a friend, and second, Zeng Yun is a "philanthropic Buddhist".

In the original history, after Zeng Yun became the governor of Zhejiang, there was a person called Yushi who found that the curtain of the famous rebel Qiu Jin was actually on the side of the Xiling Bridge by the West Lake, so he reported to the imperial court and demanded that the tomb of Qiu Jin be bulldozed, and the relevant personnel who built the tomb for Qiu Jin were arrested. After the imperial decree was sent to Zeng Yun, Zeng Yun did not dare to resist the decree or offend the revolutionary party, so while looking for Qiu Jin's family everywhere, he forged an application for Qiu Jin's family to move the tomb two months ago, and finally found Qiu Jin's brother Qiu Yuzhang, who was hiding in Heilongjiang, and asked him to come back quickly and move the tomb away. Then he reported to the imperial court, saying that he had completed the matter in accordance with the holy decree.

Later, after the revolution, Zeng Yun was caught by the revolutionary party almost without resistance, and then, a large number of people ran out to plead, saying that although Zeng Yun was a Manchu official, he did not oppose the revolution. And then it was put away. Then Zeng Yun went back to the north, followed Yuan Shikai to make a vase honestly, and then President Yuan was gone, and he went to the Northeast and became the president of the Harbin Buddhist Association.

What can such a "good person" do in the face of such a complex situation? Just after Shen Junru persuaded him to revolt, Zeng Yun found out all kinds of case files related to the revolutionaries, studied them carefully, and then began to look for those constitutional gentry, hoping that they could contact those chaotic parties, and he promised that he would never take the initiative to find trouble with those chaotic parties, and of course he also hoped that those chaotic parties would not trouble him......

However, those chaotic parties don't seem to care much about Zeng Yun's kindness, and now they suddenly rebelled. The first is that there are rebels attacking the arsenal. Anyway, there were a lot of guns over there, and then someone came to report in a panic that the arsenal had been occupied by the rebels, and that there were many people in the new army who had voted for the rebels, and most of the rest didn't know where they had gone.

Zeng Yun immediately panicked, he loved peace and never thought about solving the problem by force, as the so-called upper and lower are unanimous, since Zeng Yun thinks like this, his pro-soldier team will naturally not be particularly combative. Therefore, although the revolutionary party has not yet attacked, many people in the pro-army team have already fled and disappeared. And the captain of his own soldiers has already begun to persuade him to change into civilian clothes and flee.

At this time, gunshots also rang out outside the governor's yamen, and the captain of the personal soldiers ran out in a panic, and Zeng Yun also began to change himself into civilian clothes......

……

"My lord, it's almost there." The captain of the pro-soldier supported the panting Zeng Yun, pointed to the front and said, "Over there is the Salvation Hospital, and the Salvation Hospital is opened by foreigners." Thinking about it, those chaotic parties don't dare to come in casually. ”

"Well, let me catch my breath first...... Huh, Huh, Huh, ......"ran all the way, and Zeng Yun gasped heezing.

At this time, there was another shot from behind.

"Quick, sir, hurry up ......"

……

Regarding the fact that Zhejiang Governor Zeng Yun would run to the Salvation Hospital by himself, Zhou Shuren, who was still in the hospital, didn't know what to say. However, Dr. McMillan has always stressed that although the hospital can do something for the Restoration Society, the hospital must be completely independent and politically independent on the surface. Otherwise, it is not easy for him to speak to investors and American consuls. Therefore, Zeng Yun was actually "insured" by Salvation Hospital. It's just that this so-called protection is actually not much different from house arrest, and even a few Liberation members were sent to protect Zeng Yun, but Zeng Yun himself didn't know it.

……

Almost at the same time as Tao Chengzhang's uprising in Hangzhou, Qiu Jin also launched an uprising in Shaoxing with students from the Datong School's all-American equipment. Shaoxing's resistance is not worth mentioning, but the prefect of Shaoxing is much tougher than the governor of Zhejiang, and he actually tried to resist. The result, of course, is that the mantis arm is a car, crushed by the wheels of history.

……

Affected by the success of the uprisings in Hangzhou and Shaoxing, uprisings occurred almost everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. In Anqing, Xu Xilin led the police and the new army to launch an uprising, recovered Anqing, and captured the governor Enming, in Quzhou, before the revolutionaries launched an uprising, the prefect of Quzhou declared the independence of the uprising, in order to show that "the revolution must be destroyed", the prefect personally took a bamboo pole and stabbed several tiles on the main gate of the yamen. Two days later, Nanjing also declared independence, and five days later, an uprising broke out in Guangzhou, and the Manchu prefect of Guangzhou was expelled......

……

"Now, Nanjing is in the hands of the constitutionalists, and the whole of Zhejiang and Anqing are in the hands of the Restoration Society. We must take Shanghai down, otherwise, even if we occupy Guangdong, it will be nothing. If we don't take Shanghai, there will be no room for us to speak in China. Tao Chengzhang: They won't leave us a place. Chen Qimei said to the few people who were following him, "Therefore, we must immediately revolt and take Shanghai." ”

"Big brother, what you say, we'll follow what you do!" A young man said excitedly, "It's just that although we have some brothers in our hands, we are very short of weapons. ”

"Zhiqing, you don't have to worry about this. Yesterday I visited the British and Japanese consuls, and they both expressed goodwill to us. You know that there are Americans behind the Liberation Society, and neither the British nor the Japanese want to see the power of the Liberation Society grow excessively in Jiangnan. Zhiqing, firearms will be delivered to us this afternoon. Then we launched an attack on the Gangnam Manufacturing Bureau tonight. As long as we win the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Shanghai will be ours. ”

"Mr. Chen, Li Xiehe of the Restoration Society is also preparing for an incident, he has more people in his hands than us, if we start an incident, he will also come to do it, Shanghai may not be ours."

"Dare to come and rob our territory, big brother, as long as you say a word, I will go and bring back that Li Xiehe's head to you." Jiang Zhiqing said loudly.

"Zhiqing, now is not the time. However, as I said, neither the British nor the Japanese wanted to see the Liberation Conference in Shanghai. So...... The patrol house will give them some trouble. Zhiqing, you immediately take a few people, put on the clothes of the patrol room, and go find some mess for them. And then ......"

"And then pretend to be their people and kill a few people from the patrol house?" Jiang Zhiqing asked.

"Yes, then the British and Japanese would have a reason to intervene directly. Okay, let's get ready. ”

……

"Mr. Tao, I borrowed the news from Mr. Li Xie and Mr. Li, and our people had a conflict with the patrol house in the concession. The British sent warships to shell our men, and our casualties were heavy. And the British gave us an ultimatum to our men to withdraw from Shanghai immediately. A young man hurriedly came and reported the news to Tao Chengzhang.

"These bandits!" Tao Chengzhang slammed his fist on the pillar, "Jingxiong, what do you say?" ”

At this time, Shaoxing and Qiu Jin, who had just recovered, also brought people to Hangzhou.

"This must be Chen Qimei's ghost. Chen Qimei must be attacking the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau now, right? Is there any news of him? Qiu Jin asked with an eyebrow furrowed.

"It's not clear. Jingxiong, you are more proficient than me in military affairs, what do you say to do now? Tao Chengzhang said.

"Without an understanding with the British, we will not be able to recover Shanghai under the guns of their warships. So, I think it's better for us to electrify the whole country on the one hand to protest against the atrocities of the British, and on the other hand, let Li Xie and them bring the team down. We still have to keep our strength and prepare to deal with the Beiyang Army, and we can't consume these precious forces in Shanghai. Although she was very unwilling, Qiu Jin finally made such a decision.
