It was just dawn, and the sun shone on the ground and shone a piece of gold.

In the original staff dormitory, now the Xiangshan barracks, the soldiers of the patrol regiment are still sleeping in the room covered with futons. Some of these people are neatly dressed, some of them only wear one pants, but none of them sleep naked, after all, there are at least 4 soldiers living in a room, and some even live 8, and they are all strong young men, and no one wants to be picked up soap...

When the sunlight shone into the room through the window, it happened that a ray of sunlight shone on Zhang Daquan's face.

"Woo..." Zhang Daquan, who was sleeping fragrantly, was so that he obviously couldn't fall asleep, so he covered his eyes with his hands, and after lying like that for a while, he shook his head and got up from the bed. Hell, didn't you already say you had to close the curtains..."

Muttering as if complaining, Zhang Daquan re-closed the curtains.

The location of his bed was not very good, as soon as the sun rose, there was bound to be sunlight shining on him, so he would draw the curtains every night. It's just that I don't know what happened to the road, but today's curtains are actually open.

Looking up at the clock on the wall, after confirming that the time was still early, he took out the basin, towel and toothbrush and toothpaste from his cabinet, and walked in the direction of the water room outside the house.

At this time, it was only more than 5 o'clock, and there were very few soldiers who could get up like him, so there were not many people in the water room, and after filling the basin with water, Zhang Daquan first brushed his teeth, and then washed his face.

But just when he was halfway through washing, there was a sudden loud wake-up call outside.

"Hell. Isn't it only more than 5 o'clock now..."It was too late to continue washing, and after wiping it casually with a towel, Zhang Daquan hurriedly poured out all the water in the basin. Then I ran back to my room and put the basin and stuff it.

At this time, several soldiers who slept with him were also woken up by the wake-up number, and almost all of them complained when they saw that the time was only 5:20.

The training tasks of the patrol regiment are very heavy, not only to come to a few 100 and a 5 km every day, but also to practice shooting, etc., and the wake-up call will sound at 6 o'clock. Life is very hard.

So this little rest time in the evening is also very important for them, and now the sweet dream is suddenly awakened. They will complain and it will be taken for granted.

It's just that no matter how natural it is, they put on their clothes as quickly as possible, and then hurriedly ran to the playground downstairs, and they didn't even have time to wash.

At this time, the number of patrol regiments had basically been determined. 2005 people. It is equivalent to the number of a regiment in the new army, and the remaining 300 people are organized into two baggage companies, which are specially responsible for the logistics of the patrol regiment.

However, just because it's basically confirmed doesn't mean there won't be any changes.

As long as someone performs badly in daily training, or is late for the assembly too many times, they will be pushed to the baggage company by Fu Xiuming, and then promoted to the best performance from the baggage company. This is also the reason why even after the number of patrol regiments has been established, these soldiers still dare not relax. The look in the eyes of the soldiers in the baggage company made them shudder a little.

After putting on their clothes, Zhang Daquan and they ran downstairs as fast as they could, and there were many people in the corridor who were in a hurry, and some of them didn't even button their clothes.

On the playground, more than 40 officers, including Fu Xiuming, had been waiting for a long time at this time, and standing next to them was the trumpeter in charge of blowing the trumpet.

After arranging according to the usual habits, it took about 5 minutes for all 2005 people to assemble on the playground. It's just that while raising their heads with their chests up, these people are also looking at Fu Xiuming with strange eyes, not understanding what is the reason for calling them up so early.

Noticing the gazes of the soldiers, after everyone stood together, Fu Xiuming said in a loud voice. "Now obey my orders, everyone immediately return to their rooms to pack up their weapons and equipment and salute, and after 15 minutes, they will reassemble in the playground, and then we will take a boat back to Wuhu..."

"Now the truck is waiting outside the camp, hurry up and disband!"

"Back to Wuhu?" At this time, it was less than a month since they came to Xiangshan, and they were suddenly called back to Wuhu, which was somewhat strange. There were also a few more intelligent people who understood something after thinking about the situation in various places now, but after looking at Fu Xiuming and the others standing on the playground, they didn't say anything, just went back to the room with their companions to pack up their equipment and salute.

About 10 minutes later, the soldiers came out of the dormitory one after another, and fifteen minutes later, all the people were standing in the playground.

Looking down at the watch on his wrist, Fu Xiuming nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let them go!"

Under the leadership of their respective officers, the patrol regiment took the squad as the benchmark and boarded the trucks parked outside the entrance of the barracks in turn.

After all the more than 2,000 people boarded, the truck slowly started and drove in the direction of Dangtu. Along the way, almost all the civilians who saw the trucks full of soldiers were dumbfounded, even the many workers who worked in the iron works and mines.

The people of the patrol regiment had stayed in Xiangshan for such a long time, it was naturally impossible for them not to notice it at all, but they could not have imagined that so many soldiers would come out.

After setting off from Xiangshan, the convoy headed directly towards the pier of Dangtu, without any stops at all, and even if anyone noticed along the way, no one dared to stop them.

————————————————————————

Outside the company's office building, hundreds of patrol soldiers and guard soldiers were almost ready, and on the top floor of the building, Yan Shao, Li Liang, Qin Zhen and others were still discussing the details of the uprising.

Just when Yan Shao and Qin Zhen were discussing how to act, Yan Yongnian suddenly walked in outside. "Boss, when Tu called, he said that Captain Fu and they had boarded the boat and were now rushing to Wuhu..."

"Have you already go?"

"That's right. I set off more than 10 minutes ago..."After speaking, Yan Yongnian also looked down at the watch on his wrist.

"Good..."

Walking back and forth in the office, he suddenly spoke after walking for a while. "Send a telegram to the fleet and tell them not to dock in Wuhu. Go directly to Anqing..."After speaking, Yan Shao looked at Li Liang and said. "We're not going to make trouble in Wuhu anymore..."

Originally, according to the plan, Yan Shao planned to start an incident in Wuhu and Dangtu, and then cooperate with the uprising in Anqing. Some time ago, because he was not worried about the relationship between the new army, Zhu Jiabao had already transferred back the patrol battalion stationed in Anqing.

In fact, Zhu Jiabao can only trust the patrol battalion now.

Although the patrol battalion is a semi-modern army, it is relatively old-fashioned in its thinking, and it also harbors great resentment and hostility towards the new army, which is far more generous in treatment than them. In 1908, the 31st Anhui Mixed Association mutinied. The skirmishes in Guangxi in January 1911 and the riots in Canton in February were almost mercilessly suppressed by the patrol battalion.

After the Wuchang Uprising, the governors of Hunan, Anhui, Liangjiang and other provinces recruited a large number of patrol battalions, and the Wuhu patrol battalion in Anqing is only one of them. At most, it can only account for one-fifth of the total, but even this is enough for Yan Shao, after all, all he lacks is a stepping stone...

Hearing Yan Shao say that he didn't plan to make an incident in Wuhu, Li Liang and the others were stunned for a moment, and then reacted. "You mean. Go directly to Anqing..."

"That's right..."Yan Shao nodded. If you go by road. It will inevitably arouse Zhu Jiabao's vigilance, when the time comes, in the face of a provincial city with high walls, it may not be easy for us to attack without heavy offensive weapons, not to mention competing with the people of the new army, but if we take the waterway, we can definitely rush into the provincial capital before Zhu Jiabao reacts, even if it is discovered, it doesn't matter, don't we still have some internal response in it? They don't need to do anything else. Just open the gates for us..."

"If this is really the case, you must contact Lu Wencheng as soon as possible..."After listening to Yan Shao's thoughts. After thinking about it for a while, Qin Zhen said.

"That's right, it won't take long from Dangtu to Anqing, if you really want to do this, you must contact Lu Wencheng as soon as possible..."After thinking about it, Li Liang also spoke.

A surprise attack, in Li Liang's opinion, is a good idea, now Zhu Jiabao is mainly guarding against the new army inside and outside the city, and he definitely never thought that Yan Shao would take the water route to give him a surprise attack.

And as long as the Anhui governor Yamen can be captured as soon as possible and Zhu Jiabao is captured, everything can be declared over.

"Since you've all agreed...", Yan Shao spoke. You can contact Lu Wencheng in a while, you don't need him to do anything else, as long as he is let the city gate be closed when we enter the city..."

"It's good."

"In addition, gather the patrol team and guards outside the building, and transfer some ships by the way, after preparing weapons and ammunition, we will wait at the dock first, and set off at the same time after Fu Xiuming's fleet arrives..."

The order was quickly conveyed, and unlike the patrol regiment, the patrol battalion at this time had already learned of its mission after the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, so after the order was given, the soldiers were only nervous and excited, and there was no other emotion.

More than an hour later, with the exception of a company of guards who remained in charge of guarding the office building and the manor, the remaining 800 patrolmen and guards boarded the ships that were already ready. Just wait for Fu Xiuming and their fleet to arrive, and then set off together to attack Anqing.

————————————————————

The news of the temporary change of the plan was obtained by Fu Xiuming when he was on the ship.

After getting the telegram back, Fu Xiuming frowned, and he was a little embarrassed.

Because at this time, apart from their group of officers, there was hardly anyone on the ship who knew what their original purpose was. Originally, according to Fu Xiuming's plan, after arriving in Wuhu, Yan Shao would personally brainwash these people and make them 'revolutionary comrades' like the patrol and the guards...

But now that the plan has changed, we have to find a way...

Fu Xiuming's mind kept spinning, and several other officers on the side also looked embarrassed.

After all, it's on the river, and no one knows what will happen. If you announce the matter to the soldiers below now, you will be lucky. They should be able to listen, but if they are unlucky, it is not impossible for the soldiers to hijack the ship.

That's right. Most of the soldiers in the patrol regiment were of the kind with a high 'political consciousness', and almost all of them were kicked into the baggage company. But who knew that an accident would happen to the road? While this is unlikely, they have to take it into account.

"What do you mean, Captain?"

After being embarrassed, one of the officers turned his head to look at Fu Xiuming.

"Me..."Pursing his lips, Fu Xiuming thought for a while. Send a telegram to the boss and tell us about the situation. And also...... Excuse me, can you use some means..."

Fu Xiuming's telegram Yan Shao quickly received it, and after looking at the telegram in his hand. Yan Shao said. "Send Fu Xiuming a telegram back and tell him that I agreed to his idea..."

A few hours later, Fu Xiuming's fleet passed through Wuhu, after seeing Fu Xiuming's fleet. The fleet, which had been waiting for some time, also left the dock in turn. The two fleets were soon combined into one. The fleet itself was led by Yan Shao, and on the flagship, looking back at dozens of steamships behind him, Yan Shao had a lot of confidence in this operation.

"Next, as long as I take Anqing, I can carry out the real plan..."After speaking, Yan Shao grabbed Caterina and Elaino's hands. Then I can give you a formal wedding..."

Originally, Yan Shao didn't plan to bring them here this time, but they were afraid that something would happen, so they had to follow Yan Shao's side. Considering this operation, there is no danger of any trouble. After the end, Yan Shao still brought them with him.

There were suddenly two more women in the ranks, and the soldiers below didn't mention it for the time being. The officers didn't even have the slightest idea. After all, as old men who have followed Yan Shao for a long time, they know very well how powerful these two glamorous proprietresses are.

Of course, this is not to say that there is no one in the patrol and guard who is an opponent of the two of them, as it was at the beginning. After all, they are also women anyway, and they also took advantage of the opponents who were ordinary people at the beginning, and now, after a period of military training, especially people like Fu Xiuming and Qin Zhen who have been to the North African battlefield, at least in terms of fighting and other aspects, they are not inferior to Elaline and Katarina, but they are somewhat inferior in marksmanship, which may be related to talent.

On the other hand, although Yan Shao was full of confidence in this trip (because he knew very well how easy the whole Xinhai Revolution was), Fu Xiuming and they didn't dare to think about it, so in their opinion, with Elano and Caterina close protection, Yan Shao's safety could also be somewhat guaranteed, which was another reason why they had no opinion after Elano and the others got on the ship—————— and I am afraid they didn't dare to have...

There is no way, although they are already very strong in both fighting and others, but if they really fight, I am afraid that Qin Zhen and they will still lose, not because of strength, but because of ...... How to say it, maybe it's because I lost too much at the beginning, and the abuse has a psychological shadow...

————————————————————

In the residence in Anqing City, looking at the members of the special affairs department in charge of contact in front of him, Lu Wencheng's face was a little ugly, but at the same time, he was a little relieved.

"You finally can't take it anymore..."

"That's right." Smiling slightly, the young man sitting in front of him said. "The current situation is a godsend for us, and now our troops are rushing towards Anqing, which means that you should control the city gate and let them in..."

"This can't be..."Lu Wencheng shook his head very decisively. Now Zhu Jiabao is very uneasy about the new army, and it is impossible for people to open the city gate..."Obviously, he thought that the person in front of him wanted him to let the new army outside, but he didn't know that Yan Shao was actually very protective of the new army, after all, many of the new army were alliances, and although the strength he mastered was not inferior to it, after all, it was better not to do it without doing it.

After listening to Lu Wencheng's words, the young man said with a smile. "Don't worry, we're not asking you to open the gate of the new army, but letting you control the gate of the dock, at least keep it open..."

"The city gate of the wharf..."Frowning slightly, Lu Wencheng suddenly said suddenly. Do you want to be from..."

"That's right, we are coming from the waterway, so as long as you can control the city gate, we will have a way to come in from the outside, I believe you can also see the situation of the Qing court, as long as you can get this done, glory and wealth are at your fingertips..."

Lu Wencheng pondered in his heart for a while, and only nodded in agreement after half a ring. "Okay, I'll be in the army in a moment."

Lu Wencheng naturally knows the situation of the Qing court very well, and now it has only been more than half a month since the Wuchang Uprising, and several provinces have announced their recovery in a row.

Moreover, at present, Zhu Jiabao is mainly guarding against the new army, but he does not have much defense against them. In addition, the young man in front of him only asked him to open the city gate on the other side of the dock, Zhu Jiabao didn't pay attention to that city gate, in other words, as long as Yan Shao acted fast enough, the probability of success was as high as more than 80%...

Seeing that Lu Wencheng had already agreed, the young man also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. "Okay, since that's the case, I'll have someone send some orange scarves later, and then you let your people tie orange scarves on their arms, so as not to be injured by mistake, if you don't tie them, don't blame us for dying..."

After speaking, the young man got up and said goodbye, as the person in charge of the special affairs department in Anqing, he will go to many places next, and the special affairs department is not just a Wuhu patrol battalion that he buys in the patrol camp. (To be continued......)
