The news of the success of the New Army uprising in Wuchang spread to the entire land of China through telegrams, and the masses of people in various places were surging, and the revolutionaries ran around unscrupulously, trying to turn the Wuchang uprising into a prairie fire, and then launch a nationwide uprising.

Speaking of which, the success of the Wuchang Uprising was not an accidental surname, but an inevitable surname.

After the fiasco of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Manchu court was determined to start a new policy, set up new-style schools, build railways, encourage industry and commerce, organize and train new troops, and send a large number of students to study abroad. But at the same time, it also planted a bane, and after those young students who went abroad came into contact with foreign countries, opened their eyes, and understood what freedom was, they naturally became more and more dissatisfied with the country under the rule of the Manchus. The outcome of any highly centralized political axe after opening the wisdom of the people is tragic, and the Manchu Qing is no exception.

After encouraging industry and commerce, industry and commerce developed rapidly, and at the same time, the capitalists were no longer satisfied with light industry, and began to set their sights on heavy industries such as railways to pursue greater profits, and at the same time, the capitalists who pursued profits were naturally dissatisfied with the imperial court's submission to the foreign powers, the sale of many rights of way and minerals, and tariffs being controlled by outsiders. However, the key point is that the differential treatment of domestic and foreign goods by Lijin makes domestic products less competitive, which has led to serious dissatisfaction with the imperial court in the industrial and commercial circles.

It would cost a lot of money to run a new army and start a new policy at the same time, but what if the imperial court didn't have it? The answer was the indiscriminate issuance of copper coins, the increase in cents, and the increase in taxes, which temporarily covered up the severe financial problems of the late Qing Dynasty, but the common people were suffering from rising inflation and a sharp decline in living standards. This has aroused great public resentment.

When there is a revolutionary party that pursues ideals, there are capitalists who pursue profits, and there are ordinary people who are full of discontent. The combination of these three directly led to the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, in fact, even if the Wuchang Uprising was not successful, then it would not be long before there would be the Nanjing Uprising and the Taiyuan Uprising. In short, the revolution was inevitable, so the day after the success of the Wuchang Uprising, that is, in the early morning of October 20, the Hanyang New Army responded to the Wuchang Uprising, and the Uprising New Army quickly took control of Hanyang, and then marched to Hankou.

If the Manchu magnates knew that the New Deal would be like this more than ten years ago, she wouldn't have played the New Deal if she killed Cixi! It can be said that for the Manchu elite, the post-1900 New Deal reform was the biggest mistake it made in more than 200 years! If we do not reform and continue to ignore the people, we may be able to barely survive for several decades until we are annexed or colonized by foreign powers, but within a few years of reform, we will be revolutionized by the new generation of intellectuals we have cultivated. Therefore, from the perspective of the ruling class, it is hoped that the ruled will be as ignorant as possible, and the Manchu Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty are the most obvious contrast between success and failure.

Of course, Chen Jingyun, who was still asleep, didn't know that the three towns of Wuchang were about to be occupied by the people's army, which was nothing to him, anyway, he knew that the revolution was successful in the end, and it would not be long before uprisings broke out across the country. And I will be one of them.

He slept very lightly in the first half of the night, for fear that something would happen in the barracks, so he fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night, and when he got up a little late in the morning.

After freshening up, Chen Jingyun inspected the barracks again, and then sat down until about 11 o'clock in the morning, when he reiterated the order to close the camp and strictly prohibit troublemaking before returning home with three or five personal soldiers. And his adjutant Lin Chengkun went out early in the morning, and he didn't need to ask Chen Jingyun to know that he was looking for a revolutionary.

Halfway through, I remembered the osmanthus cake that Sun Daoren said yesterday, and immediately sent a personal soldier to Yangji in Beicheng.

After returning home, not long after entering the door, he was called by Yu, although Chen Jingyun is no longer the Chen Jingyun he used to be, but he still has a lot of respect for Yu's mother who has fused his memory, after all, it is not easy for a woman to pull three children to adulthood in these years.

After Yu glanced at Chen Jingyun carefully, he asked a few words about why he didn't return home last night, Chen Jingyun naturally replied respectfully that it was because he was entangled in official business, and Chen Jingyun often lived in the barracks before, so Yu didn't say much, but when she heard that Chen Jingyun and others would ask Sun Daoren to go to the banquet, the corners of Yu's mouth showed a hint of joy.

"Good! Since my son has a banquet, let's leave early, don't let Lord Sun wait for you, after all, he is an elder! Yu's tone was kind, and there seemed to be a hint of joy in his words.

Chen Jingyun didn't want to say too much, so he went out after retiring, and then changed into a new set of clothes and put on a customized officer's dress before going out.

Then the group went straight to Sun's house, and when they arrived at Sun's house, the soldiers knocked on the door, and naturally there were people from Sun's house to greet them, and the housekeeper personally led Chen Jingyun forward, and the soldiers who came with Chen Jingyun were also led to the side room to drink tea and dinner.

However, after walking inside, Chen Jingyun found that Steward Sun did not welcome him to the main hall, but went towards the backyard, which made him a little strange, after all, although the atmosphere has been more open than a few decades ago, but in the official family, etiquette will still be strictly observed, and this backyard will not let outsiders come in easily.

Chen Jingyun had questions, and Steward Sun was also a thoughtful person, so he didn't need Chen Jingyun to ask, so he said to himself first: "The first master said, today's meal is commonplace, and your coming is not considered official business, so you eat in the backyard!" ”

"Oh!" Chen Jingyun responded casually, but he had already guessed in his heart what Sun Daoren was paying attention to, and he didn't need to lead himself to the backyard.

Sun Daoren's courtyard is a typical Jiangnan three-entry house, through the corridor through the door can be seen everywhere in the heart of the exquisite carvings, these carvings all reveal the kind of Jiangnan delicate, and the northern style of the house is completely different. There is even a pond dug in the backyard, and living water is introduced, and there is a rockery on the edge of the pool, and there is a pavilion on the rockery, and there are many exotic flowers and plants planted on the edge of the pool, and the flowers and plants are obviously just watered, and the branches and leaves are reflected in the crystal light through the sunlight.

After passing through the garden and turning a few corridors, Chen Jingyun was led into a flower hall by Steward Sun, and not long after he sat down, he heard Sun Daoren's voice coming from the door: "Zihua is here!" ”

Chen Jingyun hurriedly got up: "I've seen Master Sun!" ”

Sun Daoren walked in, stretching out his hand to make a false gesture: "Zihua doesn't have to be too polite!" This is not a barracks, and it is not an office business for you to come to me today! Seeing me like this is because he looks down on my grandson,"

He pretended to be angry as he spoke!

Chen Jingyun could only smile bitterly when he heard this, since he couldn't figure out what Sun Daoren was going to do, he didn't care about the surname Suo, since he said that he didn't have to be polite, could it be that he had to be respectful to him, and immediately sat down again: "It's Zihua's negligence, don't blame Lord Sun!" ”

Sun Daoren smiled and nodded, and said while holding up the teacup: "Originally, I wanted to invite you to come and sit a few days ago, but I thought that you were suffering from the cold. It's been nagging in my ear all day long, saying that I don't feel at ease, so I have to send someone over to take a look! ”

Chen Jingyun responded casually: "Fortunately, thanks to the centuries-old ginseng sent by Mrs. Sun, my body can recover so quickly!" ”

"It's good that this body is well!" Sun Daoren took a sip of tea and continued: "Alas, it's an eventful time now, there are many affairs, and you can't do so many things without a good body!" I'm counting on you to help me carry the beams! ”

"Zihua knows!" Chen Jingyun still replied respectfully.

Speaking of this eventful autumn, Sun Daoren had to sigh at the current world: "In these years, there has been chaos everywhere, last night Xu Jingqing took the patrol battalion around all night, and I heard that a lot of chaotic parties were arrested!" ”

Xu Jingqing in Sun Daoren's mouth is the old army commander in Fuzhou, and there are thousands of people under him, Chen Jingyun does not have much information about this person in his memory, so it can be seen that he is not very familiar with each other. As for why Xu Jingqing arrested the party last night, Chen Jingyun also guessed a little.

"Could it be because of what happened in Wuchang?" Chen Jingyun voiced his guess.

"Hmm!" Sun Daoren said: "There is too much trouble over there in Wuchang, I got the news just now, saying that there was chaos in Hanyang last night!" ”

Chen Jingyun was also stunned when he heard this, it seems that the revolutionaries are still acting very quickly, and in a few days if this continues, the three towns of Wuchang, Hanyang, and Hankou will completely fall into the hands of the revolutionary party. It seems that his side also needs to speed up his actions, and the revolutionaries who can't be allowed to leave behind themselves to revolt first are not fun!

Speaking of this, Sun Daoren paused slightly and glanced at Chen Jingyun: "The current situation is tense, and I also know that there are many revolutionary parties in the Tenth Town, so I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to make trouble, if there is a military rebellion, hundreds of thousands of people in Fuzhou will suffer!" You and I will not be able to protect our lives! ”

It is said that in the past, with Chen Jingyun's attitude towards the revolutionaries, Sun Daoren did not say this, but the current Chen Jingyun is no longer the original Chen Jingyun, if the former Chen Jingyun was a person who only did his duty and trained the army wholeheartedly, then the current Chen Jingyun belongs to the kind of person who is full of rebellion. But now at this time, Chen Jingyun naturally knows what kind of attitude to make: "Don't worry, my lord, there is a mark, and this Fuzhou city can't be in chaos!" If someone wants to make trouble, they have to see if the thirty-eight bids under the bid answer or not! ”

"Good!" Sun Daoren naturally smiled when he saw Chen Jingyun's attitude, and it was precisely because of Chen Jingyun's attitude that he would hand over the thirtieth bid to Chen Jingyun. It is precisely because of Chen Jingyun's attitude that Sun Daoren invited Chen Jingyun to have such a meal.

After the two chatted again, they gradually shifted the conversation from official business to trivial and private matters!

"If I remember correctly, Zihua, you should have twenty-three this year!" Sun Daoren asked as he stroked his beard.

Chen Jingyun was slightly stunned, and suddenly he didn't remember his age, but after silently thinking in his heart, he calculated the age of his current body: "Adults remember correctly!" ”

Sun Daoren continued to stroke his beard and said: "As the saying goes, starting a family and starting a business, this family is in front of starting a business, and Zihua must hurry up on this lifelong event!" ”
