Liuhe Lane in the south of Fuzhou has no noisy market shops nearby, and the century-old trees can be seen everywhere, so many people who like to be quiet have their homes here.

However, the quiet Liuhe Lane in the ordinary is a little noisy today, and you can hear the sound of the horse's shoe iron hitting the green bricks in the distance, as the sound of the horse's hooves gets closer and closer, passers-by only see two New Army officers galloping on high-headed horses, they are wearing blue officer uniforms, black long leather boots, yellow and red crosses on their shoulders as the background color, and epaulettes with dragon pattern and gold buckles. One of them is about 30 years old, with a Chinese face, a long beard, a tall figure, and two dragon-patterned gold buckles pinned to the yellow and red crossed epaulettes. The young officer, who was one horse rank behind, was younger, with a slightly immature face, and the collar badge on his shoulder was the same yellow-red cross background, and a dragon-patterned gold buckle was buckled on it, which was the rank of the assistant staff leader.

I saw that after a burst of horsewhips, the two of them swept across the bluestone road of Liuhe Lane, and trotted for a while before stopping in front of a house. When the horses stopped for a moment, they jumped off their horses, and then the young assistant counsellor strode forward and knocked at the door.

When he was young, the gatekeeper of the gate opened, and a little guy with a melon skin hat and a cyan horse coat came out, this little guy seemed to know these two people, and immediately his facial expression was spread: "Oh, it turned out to be Ma Ye, Lin Ye ......"

Unexpectedly, the officer surnamed Ma had a straight face and interrupted the little guy's words: "What about your family?" ”

The officer surnamed Lin next to him also spoke: "Hurry up and report, I have something important to ask to see Lord Biaotong!" ”

As soon as these two words came out, the little guy was also a person who was used to seeing his face, so he didn't dare to say anything else, so he bowed down and invited the two of them in, and after introducing them into the main hall, he instructed the maid: "Serve tea." With that, he trotted out to the backyard.

It didn't take long for a young man in a horse coat to enter the main hall, this person looked about twenty-two three, about one meter seven five tall, although the horse coat he was wearing was a little loose, but it could still be seen that this person was extremely strong, even if it was not much worse than the horse master with the national face. After this person came in, he glanced at the two of them, and then said, "It turned out to be Ma Guandao and Lin Chengkun!" ”

While waving his hand to signal that the two of them did not need to get up to greet each other, he also walked over and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the horse pipe belt spoke directly: "Lord Chen, something is wrong!" ”

As if he hadn't seen the urgency on Ma Guandao's face, Chen Biaotong picked up the teacup by himself, shook the tea lightly with the lid of the cup, and drank it in small sips.

Chen Biaotong's expression was so good, which naturally made Ma Guandao and Lin Chengkun puzzled, and immediately Lin Chengkun said: "My lord, something big happened in Wuchang last night!" The revolutionaries led the people to rebel, and now they have occupied the city of Wuchang and have Li Yuanhong as the governor, and this morning a telegram has been issued, and we have rushed over as soon as we heard the news in the telegraph room, and it is said that the governor has been in a hurry to discuss the affairs of the traditional lords! ”

After saying this, he didn't see Chen Biaotong showing a surprised look, only to see him put down the teacup, and his face was still calm: "I already know about this!" ”

Already know? Chen Biaotong's reaction made Ma Guandao and Lin Chengkun look surprised, they still happened to learn the news of the Wuchang Revolution in the telegraph room at noon, and as soon as they got the news, they rushed to Chen Biaotong, this Fuzhou city knew the news earlier than the two of them can be counted on one hand, how could Chen Biaotong know it before them?

Looking at the surprised looks of the two of them, Chen Biaotong sighed in his heart, in fact, he did know before them, and it was not so many hours earlier, but many days earlier!

Four days ago, when he woke up from the darkness, he found himself in an antique room, and he was weak, his body was also hot, and he had a terrible headache. With that terrible sting, many memories began to appear in his mind, memories that did not belong to him!

Chen Jingyun, the word Zihua, was born in the 14th year of Guangxu, that is, in 1888, the father who has died in the family was a lifter, and worshiped Li Hongzhang as a staff member, after Chen Jingyun died of illness at the age of 12, Chen Yu took Chen Jingyun and two daughters back to his ancestral hometown of Fuzhou, Chen Jingyun followed his father's will, enrolled in the new school, and a few years later was escorted to study in Lu Shi, which is the fifth phase of Chinese students Lu Shi.

After returning to China after completing his studies in 1908, Chen Jingyun worked in the Tenth Town Command Office to assist in the formation and training of the New Army, and a few months later he was transferred to the 38th Standard as an instructor, and after the New Army was completed, he was appointed to the 2nd Battalion of the 38th Standard as a pipe band.

In April of this year, the revolutionaries launched a second uprising in Guangzhou, and there were many Fujianese among the many revolutionaries in Huanghuagang, and afterwards the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Song Shou, was afraid that Fujian would also have a military rebellion like Guangzhou, so he ordered Sun Daoren to rectify the new army and prevent the revolutionary party. Subsequently, Sun Daoren transferred Chen Jingyun to temporarily receive the 38th bid. In this way, at a young age, he took control of the first standard army, which is not to say that he is talented, but in the tenth town of the Fujian New Army, there is a real shortage of qualified officers, whether it is from overseas or from the local military academy, there are not many people, plus the revolution is rampant in these years, Chen Jingyun said that he has very little contact with revolutionaries, which makes Sun Daoren value and appoint a standard commander.

After Chen Jingyun controlled the 38th standard, he could be regarded as diligent and devoted to training, but he thought that some time ago, he fell ill because of the wind and cold, and when he was confused, he was taken away.

At this time, Chen Jingyun is no longer Chen Jingyun!

However, he could only hold this thought in his heart, and he couldn't say anything to anyone.

Seeing that Chen Jingyun was deep in thought, the horse pipe belt next to him and Lin Chengkun glanced at each other, and then the horse pipe said: "My lord, there was a lot of criticism in the barracks, but now if the news spreads in Wuchang, those revolutionary parties will take the opportunity to make trouble, and if this is a mess, I am afraid it will not be able to be suppressed!" ”

Chen Jingyun picked up the teacup again, took a sip before saying: "It's natural to criticize a lot, as for the revolutionary party making trouble!" After taking another sip of tea, Chen Jingyun put down the teacup: "Wait a minute, I'll go back to the camp with you, I can't let them mess around at this juncture!" ”

"If there are adults here, then naturally there will be no chaos!" Chen Jingyun said that, and the faces of Ma Guandao and Lin Chengkun eased. They knew that Chen Jingyun was sick, and if it weren't for such a thing, they wouldn't have come to disturb Chen Jingyun, this south school field is the base camp of the 38th standard, but thousands of people are stationed in it, not only the second battalion of the 38th standard, but also the town's artillery battalion, horse team, baggage team, engineering battalion, etc., this second battalion is Chen Jingyun's descendant troops, it is easy to say, but the artillery battalion, horse team, baggage team, engineering battalion, etc. are not so easy to control. In the first half of the year, when the rebellious party in Guangzhou broke out, the new army on the Fuzhou side also tried to respond, and Sun Daoren personally ordered the arrest and killing of more than a dozen revolutionary parties hidden in the tenth town before suppressing the situation.

"I'll change my clothes first!" After saying that, Chen Jingyun just got up and went to the backyard.

Since waking up a few days and learning that he was on the eve of the Xinhai Revolution, Chen Jingyun has been thinking about how to go in the future, the Xinhai Revolution has broken out, if nothing else, the next few decades will be a warlord melee, and then there will be an invasion of the army, in such a turbulent era no Chinese can escape from the world and live alone, let alone he Chen Jingyun is still a New Army officer!

He is an officer of the new army, and he is also an officer who controls thousands of troops under his command, and these nearly 2,000 troops are the guarantee of their lives in troubled times, and he is also a small warlord after being lucky.

But here's the thing: his 2,000 troops are preparing to rebel!

After all, the results of the Xinghai Revolution are known to future generations that the Manchu Dynasty will collapse with a bang, and the success of the revolution is inevitable. But now that the troops below him want to rebel, they didn't pull him Chen Jingyun, if those soldiers make a revolution in two days, he Chen Jingyun will be the target of the revolution!

In fact, the revolutionaries have not won over Chen Jingyun, and there have been several batches of lobbyists, but in the past, Chen Jingyun was dedicated to training, and he had no enthusiasm for the revolution or anything, even if he didn't arrest people, he didn't give the revolutionary party a good look, so in today's Tenth Town, Chen Jingyun is regarded as a stubborn feudal element!

But having said that, if it weren't for Chen Jingyun's attitude, Sun Daoren would not have let Chen Jingyun hold a standard and three battalions of troops, you must know that there are only four standards and ten battalions in this tenth town, which are the thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, thirty-ninth and fortieth standards, and the thirty-ninth and fortieth standards are each missing a battalion.

The strength of the three battalions in Chen Jingyun's hands is already a quarter of the strength of the Fujian New Army! Of course, neither Chen Jingyun nor Sun Daoren, the commander of the 10th Town, knew that the revolutionaries in the 10th Town had been flooded, and at least half of the dozens of middle and high-ranking officers were revolutionaries, and most of the remaining half of the forces were also inclined to the revolutionary party or the grass on the wall, and there were only a few new army officers loyal to the Manchu Dynasty.

"It seems that we have to get in touch with the revolutionaries as soon as possible, although I don't know when Fujian will be restored, but at most it is a matter of this month, if it is too late, maybe those revolutionaries will kill themselves as feudal rebels." Chen Jingyun walked into the backyard worriedly, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, for fear that he would be cut down by the revolutionaries if he was not careful.
