After the establishment of the Alliance, although there were still many different voices within the Federation, the general policy was decided. And with the support of Huang Xing, Sun Wen became the prime minister. The core of the "16-character" policy is to drive out the Tartars, otherwise the other three would not be able to be discussed. Therefore, the League will focus its work on the country.

It was imperative to build a strong organization of the League at home, otherwise it would be useless for a group of people determined to overthrow the Manchus to shout their voices abroad. Let's just say that in Japan, where Sun Wen is stationed, there is no shortage of supporters of Sun Wenism in all strata, but the government will never send troops to help Sun Wen. After the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese military and chaebols had turned their attention to China, but those who had mastered the direction of Japanese policy preferred to cooperate with the powerful Manchu faction, such as Yuan Shikai. is also unwilling to support Sun Wen, who has no money and no soldiers.

Do everything yourself. After the program was decided, the top management of the League began to study specific action steps. Armed opposition to the Qing Dynasty is certain, and they do not approve of or even hate the call for constitutionalism. Sun Wen and Huang Xing, as the main leaders of the League, organized public opinion propaganda on the one hand, and made organizational arrangements on the other.

There are three specific directions, one is Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the second is Liangguang, and the third is two lakes. Among them, Sun Wen and Hu Hanmin belong to Liangguang, and Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and Liu Kuiyi pay more attention to the two lakes. The constitution-making force in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was the strongest, and it was the Guangfuhui that advocated the use of force to oppose the Qing Dynasty, which was much weaker than the strength of the constitutionalists.

There is also a divergence in the amount of force to rely on. Sun Wen still advocated following the old path of the armed society, while Huang Xing began to pay attention to the army, especially the new army. Because in recent years, there have been more and more young people studying military affairs in Japan, and these people have basically lost hope in the Manchu Dynasty. For example, Cai Yi and others, who are now studying at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, are full of vigor and enthusiasm. After returning to China, they will basically enter the new army system, and they will become a force that should not be ignored. Moreover, in terms of the military strength of the Manchu government, the navy was already in decline and was in the hands of the Fujian gang. The key is still the Army. After the six towns of Beiyang, the new army of the army established the eighth town of the new army in Hubei, and the ninth town of the new army was established in Jiangsu. Some believe that efforts should be focused on infiltrating the Forces nouvelles.

The most decided. Branches of the League have been established in all provinces across the country where conditions permit. Propaganda and organizational preparation for public opinion. This preparatory work is not only necessary, but it will never be in vain.

Wu Luzhen went to Japan in November 1905 and told Huang Xing the story of his visit to Shandong to inspect the fifth town. Wu Luzhen believes that the fifth town of Shandong New Army is nominally one of the six towns in Beiyang. In fact, there are many contradictions with Yuan Shikai. It's not the same thing at all. And. This unit was well-trained and well-equipped, and the commander Long Qian was born in the United States. It should be sympathetic to the revolution.

The news caught Sun Huang's attention. This was the first time Sun Huang had heard of Long Qian. As a result, Shandong was included in the focus of the League's work. Sun Wen began to look for a candidate to return to Shandong to establish a branch, and soon found that he was Xu Jingxin.

Xu Jingxin, the head of the Shandong branch appointed by Sun Wen, returned to Shandong before the Spring Festival. His mission was to establish an organization of the League in Shandong. Only two assistants were brought with him, Han Ce and Liu Fenze, both of whom were from Shandong, and they were both members of the Tokyo Science Tutorial Institute, the backbone of the first batch to join the Alliance.

Xu Jingxin went to Japan to study in 1903, and in 1905 he became acquainted with Sun Yat-sen, and he attended the inaugural meeting on August 20. Afterwards, Sun Yat-sen talked to him alone and entrusted him with the task of presiding over the work in Shandong, hoping that after he returned to China, he would vigorously develop the organization, strengthen anti-Qing propaganda, and accumulate strength for the armed overthrow of the Manchu regime. Xu Jingxin said that he will live up to the expectations of the prime minister and strive to build Shandong into the most reliable base of the alliance.

Han Ce is from Jinan, while Xu Jingxin and Liu Fenze are both from Jiaodong. Xu Jingxin originally wanted to set up the branch in Jiaodong, but Han Ce suggested that it be located in Jinan. The reason is that Jinan is the political core of Shandong, and so many schools have been established at present, which is conducive to the development of members. Xu Jingxin agreed after thinking about it.

Han Ce's opinion is right, where there are many intellectuals, anti-Manchu sentiment is the strongest, and it is easiest to develop organizations.

Xu Jingxin and Liu Fenze followed Han Ce to Jinan and lived in Han Ce's home. After Xu Jingxin and Liu Fenze arrived, they felt that Han Ce, who had always been silent, had a really good family background, and there was running water at home, and electric lights were even installed.

At present, anyone who can study in Japan at their own expense is generally well-off. Han Ce's father used to be a dry ticket number, but now he is a senior staff member of Jinshang Bank. The Han family has an independent courtyard in Jinan, Han Ce's father is not at home every day, most of the time he runs around the branches of various provinces in Shandong, Han Ce has a brother and a sister, the sister has been married, the younger brother graduated from the Shandong Military Academy, just entered the patrol army as a platoon commander, and lived in the barracks on weekdays, and only came back once a month. There are only Han's mother and a servant woman in the family.

Xu Jingxin and Liu Fenze live in Han's house, which is quite convenient.

Han Ce's suggestion is to find an errand in Jinan's many industries or schools, settle down first, and then start working.

The last time Xu Jingxin came to Jinan was six years ago, and Liu Fenze had never been to the provincial capital at all. The two of them lived in Han's house, and after listening to Han Ce's introduction, they realized that it was not difficult for Lu Dao to find a job in Jinan Mansion.

Han Ce settled Xu Jingxin and Liu Fenze down, said that he would go to see the situation, and did not come back until the evening, "...... That's the case. It's easy to find a job, and many factories are hiring. Because there are many schools established, there are many teacher vacancies. With our status as staying in Japan, it is not difficult to go to school. ”

The science tuition center is not a formal school, and the students studying in Japan that Han Ce said are actually deceiving themselves. However, this title can still bluff people.

"Lao Liu, what do you think?" Xu Jingxin listened to Han Ce's report and asked Liu Fenze's opinion.

Unlike the taciturn Han Ce, Liu Fenze has an outgoing temperament, "It seems that Jinan is right." No matter where you go, it's only right to find something to do first. We can't stay at Han Ce's house all the time, right? ”

"This is natural. However, it is always necessary to facilitate the work. Since I said that I could go to school, I thought it was better to go to school than to go to a factory. At least the salary is a little higher. Xu Jingxin was very happy, "Jianmou (Han Cezi) You are familiar with Jinan. Let's go to the school to teach, which one do you think is better? ”

"Shall the three of us apply to one school?" Han Ce asked.

"What schools are recruiting teachers?" Xu Jingxin asked.

"I don't know about this yet, I need to ask. At present, there are three universities in Jinan, four secondary technical schools, Jinan Construction Engineering School, Jinan Art College, Jinan Foreign Chinese School and Jinan Normal College, all of which have been established recently Chinese. Han Ce reported.

"Do you teach Japanese at Chinese school?" If it were any other language, we wouldn't be able to. Normal schools may also be considered. I suggest that you go and inquire, and it is best for us to separate to different schools. ”

"Understood." Han Ce immediately comprehended Xu Jingxin's intentions.

When he left home in the morning, Han Ce confirmed that Xu and Liu had not followed them. I first went to a liaison station of the Intelligence Service on West Genge Road in the old town. Since he successfully broke into the Alliance, his liaison level has also increased, and he has been specially designated as a liaison station.

Soon, Wang Zhifeng, the chief of the fourth section in charge of domestic intelligence, accompanied the director Jiang Yun to meet him in Xigendao. listened in detail to the mission of the League to send Xu Jingxin back to Shandong. Jiang Yun instructed Han Ce from now on. The relationship was transferred from six departments to four departments, and it was directly under the leadership of Wang Zhifeng. As for Xu and Liu, Jiang Yun instructed Wang Zhifeng to quickly figure out the family situation and social relationship between the two. And then help them find the job they want, long-term surveillance, "the commander attaches great importance to the formation of the Confederate. Sure enough, it was not easy for them to send people back to Shandong to establish an organization. I also have to ask the commander for instructions on how to deal with them. But for the time being, only do surveillance, do not alarm them. After Jiang Yun made arrangements for Wang Zhifeng, he said to Han Ce, "You did a good job. But remember not to be overly positive and not to make them feel that you can do anything. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, what unit am I going to?"

"You're going to follow the guy surnamed Xu. Find out their ideas and methods for building an organization as soon as possible. General questions: Don't rush to report it, and don't reveal your identity without my approval. ”

"Yes. Director, I think Xu Jingxin seems to be very interested in my brother. Last night, I asked my brother a lot of things, how much was his salary, and the situation in the team, and I didn't know how to excuse it. Han Ce remembered a situation.

"Oh, that's noteworthy." Jiang Yun held his chin with his left hand and thought for a moment, "Hehe, it's not a big deal!" A few scholars shouted revolution, what did they do? I don't believe they can put their hand in the troops. Zhifeng, you must not spend all your energy on these two little people, understand? ”

"The four branches of business are more than a day, and they are a little too much to take care of." After Wang Zhifeng and Jiang Yun came out, he said with a bitter face, "There are a lot of foreigners in Jinan alone, and I can't take care of it." ”

"Who wants you to take care of so many people? Didn't I tell you the point? Huayuan and Zhongxing's key departments, the managers of Jinshang Bank, and the professors from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, huh? That's what the commander personally explained, and he must keep an eye on it. Isn't there two more alliances now, not to mention that there are also their own people in it. Jiang Yun glanced at his subordinates who were half a head taller than him dissatisfied.

"Don't I still have a squad on my side?" Wang Zhifeng is tall and majestic, dignified, and two years older than Jiang Yun, and Jiang Yun has fine skin and tender meat, like a girl, the two walk together, Jiang Yun is a small follower. But Wang Zhifeng was quite afraid of Jiang Yun in his heart, not because of Long Qian's trust, but because of Jiang Yun's meticulous thinking and endless methods.

"What happened to the squad? That's the team that the commander personally trained! This is the force that our intelligence department can use, and you have to bring it to me! Jiang Yunxiu raised his eyebrows, "Some people are always staring at the action team and want to take it, don't think about it!" ”

Since its inception, the Task Force has not carried out a single special task on its own, and it is not very large, with less than twenty people. In Jiang Yun's opinion, the action team is the assassination team, and whoever stands in the way of the commander will do it directly. Now it's not the beginning, Mengshan's military family has a big cause, and there is no need to look at the faces of those officials. For example, Yang Shixiang, Jiang Yun privately proposed to dispose of the governor who was not on the road and promised to do it neatly and neatly, leaving no beginnings and tails. For example, Zheng Cheng's whereabouts have been verified, and it is completely possible to kill this guy who dares to use ambush methods to murder the supreme leader of the Mengshan Army in Beijing.

However, the suggestion was directly rejected by Long Qian, and it was sternly pointed out that assassination could solve the problem for a while, but it could never solve the fundamental problem. The Mengshan Army will never take such despicable means lightly, just as the intelligence department is not allowed to carry out internal investigations, and it is forbidden to use assassination methods against different forces.

Mengshanjun does not advocate assassination, but it does not mean that others do not use it. The five ministers of the Manchu Qing who were preparing to go abroad to investigate the constitution were assassinated. Jiang Yun was very interested in this and instructed the Beijing station to collect relevant information. But Jiang Yun scoffed at the practice of the dead soldiers who died together, thinking that it simply had no technical content. If he was to do it, none of the five ministers would survive, and the action team he sent would return unscathed.

But the action team was still there, not revoked by Long Qian, and continued their training. From the second half of 1905 onwards, the squad was strengthened to nearly fifty men. The additional personnel are all soldiers with special abilities selected from the army, or excellent in martial arts, or empty-handed, or proficient in explosives, or a hundred steps through Yang, or good at poisoning......

Long Qian paid a lot of attention to this small unit attached to the intelligence department, just like when the Mengshan army established a sharpshooter team, he personally compiled a training outline for them, personally assessed their training results, and personally taught them lessons, more about politics, ideology, and discipline, and rarely taught them marksmanship, although everyone in the Mengshan army knew that their commander was a sharpshooter who wore through the Yang at a hundred paces.

It was not until the General Staff took note of this force that it offered to remove them from intelligence and place them under the direct command of the General Staff. Jiang Yun naturally didn't do it, thinking that the Intelligence Department needed this force. The lawsuit went to Long Qian, and for the time being, the intelligence department won......

After Jiang Yun settled the monitoring and control of the Shandong Alliance, he found an opportunity to report to Long Qian. Long Qian attached great importance to it, and after affirming Jiang Yun's arrangement, he instructed Jiang Yun that he must achieve all-round surveillance under strict secrecy, and he would never allow them to develop their organization in the army and military factories.

"What if they infiltrate the troops? According to my people, they have inquired about the situation of the troops. Jiang Yun asked.

"Catch! Grab without hesitation! Dispel their stupid thoughts immediately! The army is not allowed to have any organization except for the Youth Army. Long Qian resolutely ordered, "However, your intelligence department must hide in the shadows, understand!" ”

"Yes." Jiang Yun was secretly happy. Since the Alliance is to be monitored, it is equivalent to opening up the surveillance of the army. Jiang Yun saw Long Qian's worries from Long Qian's change of defense and frequent transfer of commanders, and thought, as long as I am here, no one will want to make trouble. (To be continued......)
