The new army in the south is really rotten to the bone, and so many middle and high-ranking officers in Fuzhou City are revolutionaries, if Chen Jingyun, a pseudo-revolutionary party, is counted, then the tenth town can be said to be the military strength of the revolutionaries. Among them, Lin Wenying, Xiao Qibin, and Huang Anyuan are revolutionaries, and Chen Jingyun doesn't think it's so strange, which can be guessed from some of their remarks and deeds. But this Lin Zhaomin is a revolutionary party makes Chen Jingyun a little puzzled, in Chen Jingyun's memory, Lin Zhaomin should be the same as Chen Jingyun before, obsessed with military affairs, not interested in politics, how could he suddenly become a revolutionary party?

At this time, Lin Chengkun, who was behind Chen Jingyun, leaned over to Chen Jingyun's ear and whispered: "It is rumored that Lin Zhaomin is Lin Yimin's brother!" It was only after Lin Yimin was defeated and killed in Guangzhou at the beginning of the year that he decided to join the League."

The remaining three Chen Jingyun didn't know each other.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Tong, who picked up Chen Jingyun in, said: "This is Chen Biaotong, everyone must know him!" Indeed, the name Chen Jingyun was no stranger to the revolutionaries in Fujian.

"As for Lin Biaotong, Xiao Guan took them, and Chen Biaotong should also know each other, so I don't need to introduce them!" Liu Tong introduced with a smile on his face.

Although Chen Jingyun was a little surprised in his heart, he was already mentally prepared for the appearance of revolutionaries in the tenth town, and immediately nodded and said, "It's all old acquaintances!" ”

At this meeting, Lin Zhaomin also stood up: "Welcome Zihua to join the revolutionary ranks, now that our China is in crisis, it is the time when we need an upright soldier like Zihua to stand up and save my 40,000 Chinese people." ”

"For the sake of the future of the Chinese people, Zihua is naturally unwilling to be left behind!" Chen Jingyun also said unashamedly.

At this time, Lin Zhaomin also introduced several other people: "This is Mr. Zheng Zuyin, the president of the Fujian branch of our alliance, and this is Mr. Wei Shengtian, who came from Shanghai to support our uprising, and Mr. Wei had served as Mr. Sun's assistant before. The last one is Mr. Peng Shousong, who is in charge of the liaison party! If Mr. Xu Chongzhi is also here today, then all the people in Fujian will be in our alliance. ”

Chen Jingyun looked at these people present, and thought to himself: These people present should be the core high-level leaders of the League in Fujian. However, these people were able to gather together tonight, but with Chen Jingyun's great merit, there are many factions in this alliance, and among the seven people in front of them, there are at least three factions: the Restoration Society, the Gongjin Association, and the Xingzhong Society. Although they usually wear the cloak of the League, in recent years, the League has long existed in name only, and the regular actions of these revolutionaries are to unify the name of the League, and they are still separated in specific matters. At least some time ago, the uprising in Wuchang had nothing to do with the Guangfu Society and the Xingzhong Society, which was carried out by the Communist Advancement Association alone. Similarly, if it weren't for Chen Jingyun's variable in Fuzhou, then the Restoration Society, the Gongjin Association, and even the Xingzhong Society, which had little strength, would have left others aside and worked on their own.

After some nonsense, Chen Jingyun was sworn to join the alliance by the seven people present as introducers, and after completing a brief initiation ceremony, Zheng Zuyin said: "With Zihua joining tonight, I can wait for the recovery of Fujian!" ”

"President Zheng's words are serious, Zihua's words are light, and the great cause of the revolution still needs everyone's efforts!"

Lin Zhaomin shook his head and said: "Zihua doesn't need to be modest, no one in this tenth town knows that the second battalion of the thirty-eighth standard is your descendant, with the second battalion, I dare not say that it is too big, but this Fuzhou City can be said." ”

He is not wrong in saying this, although there are thousands of troops stationed in Fuzhou City at present, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of those engineering battalions and baggage battalions is certainly not comparable with that of regular infantry battalions such as the second battalion.

Chen Jingyun frowned and said: "If it was a few days ago, it would be easy to say, but now the second battalion of the thirty-seventh has also arrived outside Fuzhou City, and the third battalion below me will also arrive in Fuzhou tomorrow, if the arrangement is not good, I am afraid that the variables will be too great!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the lower level also frowned, because the development of the revolutionaries in Pingli was concentrated in the city of Fuzhou, and there was too little contact with other troops sent outside, resulting in not many members being mobilized in other troops. In the event of an uprising, the strength of the two battalions temporarily transferred will indeed be too variable.

At this time, Lin Zhaomin said: "Brother Chen, even if the third battalion below you can't pull them into the revolutionary ranks, it shouldn't be difficult to stabilize them!" ”

Chen Jingyun shook his head: "It's hard to say, if it's the first battalion, with my friendship with the first battalion management and Zhuang Xianhe, it's not difficult to stabilize them, but Li Jimin and I in the third battalion don't have much friendship, although some people have been placed in it this year, but after all, it's a little worse, and it's hard to become a fire!" ”

"Hu Jigao? Do you mean Hu Jigao, who graduated from Zhenwu School? At this time, Wei Shengtian, who rushed over from Shanghai, said something unexpected to everyone: "If it is really this person, I can try to persuade him!" ”

"Oh?" Chen Jingyun asked, "Could it be that Mr. Wei knows this person?" ”

Wei Shengtian nodded: "When I was in Zhenwu School, I lived in the same school building with him, and my friendship was acceptable!" It's just that I didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few years, he came to Fujian to be an officer quietly! ”

"If Mr. Wei Shengtian really knows this person and can persuade him, let alone instigate this person anyway, even if it is just to stabilize him, then Fuzhou City can be successfully won!" Chen Jingyun casually talked nonsense, this military matter is full of variables, and any guarantee is unrealistic, but now before the uprising, Chen Jingyun will not have nothing to do to undermine their confidence.

More importantly, Chen Jingyun needs to establish a strong image in their hearts. Thus gaining the leadership of the uprising.

In the first few days, Chen Jingyun was preoccupied with how to save himself in this national rebellion, but after a few days, when he found out that the revolutionaries were not as powerful as he imagined, his mind slowly changed, from joining the revolutionary party first to wanting the leadership of this uprising, so as to gain a foundation in the later warlord melee.

"Good! With Mr. Chen's words, I, Wei, will never disappoint your expectations! Wei Shengtian is about thirty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and you can still see the perseverance revealed in his eyes through the lenses.

Zheng Zuyin also showed a cheerful look: "Now that we have Zihua's second battalion, plus our comrades who have developed in the engineering battalion, baggage battalion, gendarmerie battalion, horse team and other places, it is not a problem to set off a revolutionary storm in Fuzhou. If Li Jimin can be stabilized, even if the second battalion of the 37th standard stubbornly resists to the end, it will not hurt the overall situation. What's more, now the whole country is rebelling against the [***] regime of the Manchu court, and it is estimated that many of the soldiers of the 37 Targets are also revolutionary. It won't be difficult to mobilize them when the time comes! ”

Chen Jingyun agreed with Zheng Zuyin's first half of the remarks, and it should not be a problem for him and the revolutionaries to unite and take Fuzhou. But I don't agree with the second half of Zheng Zuyin's words, these thirty-seven standards are the descendants of Sun Daoren's lineage, the earliest army in the tenth town, and the thirty-seventh standard is the first unit to form an army in the tenth town, and Qin Yunian is from the patrol battalion of Zheng'er Bajing, and has followed Sun Daoren for more than ten years, and belongs to Sun Daoren's cronies. This relationship is much closer than the relationship between Chen Jingyun and Sun Daoren. If the revolutionaries had been able to win over the 37 bids, they would have rebelled a long time ago, and they would not have had to wait until today. Not to mention the 37th standard, even if the 38th standard revolutionary party under Chen Jingyun has been through it for so long, it has not had much effect. If it weren't for Chen Jingyun's own heart of uprising, it would have been as difficult for the revolutionaries to rebel against the Second Battalion as it would have been for Sun Daoren.

Of course, in the end, whether it is the 37th standard or the 38th standard, will eventually embark on the road of revolutionary uprising, as long as the situation in Hubei is stabilized, and the real power figures in the southern provinces do not see the hope of victory of the Qing court, not to mention wooing, they will be ready to rebel on their own, and the southern provinces in history are basically the same model. Fortunately, they were all wait-and-see in the early stage, and then as soon as they saw that the Qing court was no longer good, the real power figures below immediately changed their banners and announced the revolution!

God knows how many of them are real revolutionaries.

At this time, Peng Shousong interjected at this time: "Everyone, why don't we launch an uprising in advance?" Now if we suddenly launch an uprising, it will not be a problem to take control of Fuzhou City, and we will avoid the possible reaction of the third battalion and the second battalion of the 37th standard! ”

When everyone present heard this, their expressions flashed with excitement: "Yes, wouldn't it be more advantageous to launch an uprising now!" ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Jingyun shook his head and said, "Impossible!" ”

"Why?" Zheng Zuyin asked puzzled.

"Because after the Wuchang incident, Sun Daoren had already ordered to withdraw the bullets in the hands of the soldiers, and the former Songshou had ordered Sun Daoren to hand over the Pingshan armory to Cheng Jinkui on the front road of the patrol battalion. Is it to let the soldiers go to the uprising with empty guns? Chen Jingyun said a little depressed, because the act of confiscating the bullets in the hands of the soldiers was still suggested by him to Sun Daoren, because at that time Chen Jingyun was afraid that the revolution would start too early, and those revolutionary parties would also give him to the revolution without saying a word! As for the armory, because the situation is getting more and more tense, Matsushou is more and more worried, so after receiving the bullets from the soldiers of the new army, he also took the armory back from the new army.

Hearing this, everyone present also fell into a dull mood!

After a while, Wei Shengtian suddenly stood up: "I can send a telegram to Shanghai and ask them to urgently dispatch a batch of bullets!" But as he spoke, he was a little discouraged: "But as far as I know, there are not many bullets in the hands of colleagues over there in Shanghai!" ”

Chen Jingyun interjected: "No more, even if it is only tens of thousands of rounds, it is okay!" During the uprising, even if the second battalion, the engineering battalion, and the baggage battalion were mobilized, they would not be able to make up a thousand to rob, because the engineering battalion and the baggage battalion were rarely equipped with guns, and the second battalion was mainly on the second battalion. According to the minimum of 10 rounds of ammunition for a gun, 10,000 rounds of ammunition can complete the preliminary battle plan. After taking the armory, there will naturally be sufficient armament replenishment. ”

But Wei Shengtian shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult to have 10,000 rounds, even if it can be transferred, it is estimated that it will take half a month, if it is 35,000 rounds, it can be transferred in three days!" ”

In that case, it is unrealistic to start an uprising in the next few days! I'll be trying to find a way to bring out some of the ordnance in the next few days! However, the bullets on Mr. Wei's side are also needed, just in case! After Chen Jingyun finished speaking, Lin Zhaomin said: "How to adjust?" The armory is now controlled by the patrol battalion of the old army, and these old troops do not have many people who are revolutionary in their hearts, so I am afraid it is not easy to do anything! ”

Chen Jingyun pondered for a while and said, "I'll think of a way, and please give me a few days!" ”

Chen Jingyun said this, and everyone below could only nod.

Because if there was to be an uprising, the main force would be Chen Jingyun and his second battalion, and although the revolutionaries would be able to pull out a few hundred people at that time, compared with the second battalion, a regular infantry battalion stationed in Fuzhou, the combat effectiveness was not half a slight. It was precisely because the second battalion was so important that the revolutionaries would go to great lengths to win over Chen Jingyun.

Chen Jingyun continued: "In addition to bullets, there must also be military salaries. But I plan to make the rebel soldiers double ringing at that time, and I will take a month's ringing silver before leaving, and I will also need military pay to win over other soldiers! ”

After that, he looked at the people in the audience: "This money must not be missing!" ”
