At noon, Chen Jingyun invited all the officers and above officers in the barracks to dinner, and for this reason, he specially asked a restaurant outside to prepare a banquet and send it to the south campus.

In the afternoon, Chen Jingyun once again inspected the barracks, doing those things that won people's hearts.

Although these things look tacky, but when the dignified lord took the hands of the little soldiers below and asked for warmth, the effect was excellent, those ordinary soldiers did not know what it was to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, nor did they understand the great ideals of the revolutionaries to save the country and save the people, they were originally illiterate peasants, who came to serve as soldiers and eat food for the sake of the salary to support their families, and they only had Chen Jingyun in their eyes who gave them clothes and food.

At this point, it can be said that this is the case in all armies at this stage, and the armies are the private armies of various generals. This is the case with the Beiyang Army, the New Army in various places, and even the People's Army in Hubei cannot escape from this limitation.

In order to gain the loyalty of the soldiers in the coming big changes, Chen Jingyun worked very hard, and kept walking around the barracks, and he could be said to have spoken to every soldier in the second battalion in the past two days. During this period, not only Chen Jingyun did this in the second battalion, but Xiao Qibin and Lin Wenying of the League also won over soldiers in the artillery battalion and engineering battalion to win the hearts of the people.

Chen Jingyun's second battalion, Xiao Qibin's artillery battalion, Lin Wenying's engineering battalion, and Yu Shaoying's military police battalion, it can be said that the new army in Fuzhou City has basically fallen under the control of the League. And their main opponent in the city is the garrison of the Eight Banners of more than 1,000 people, the other patrol battalion in front of the 1,000 people of Chen Jinkui's department The situation is unknown, and the people of the alliance are actively trying to win over, and the effect is unknown.

According to this comparison of strength, the strength controlled by Chen Jingyun and others is enough. Of course, there are still variables, such as the 3rd Battalion of the 38th Standard and the 2nd Battalion of the 37th Standard that have arrived outside Fuzhou City, but due to the lack of camps in the South School Field and the extreme suspicion of the new army in Songshou these days, he personally ordered these two battalions to camp outside the city during the day and not to enter the city. Li Jimin, the 3rd Battalion Commander of the 38th Standard, and Yuan Fang, the 2nd Battalion Leader of the 37th Standard, entered the city together with several guards, and arrived at the South Campus in the afternoon to meet Chen Jingyun.

Chen Jingyun was naturally entertained, because the situation was unknown, he didn't do anything like wooing, and after a reception, the two went out of the city.

However, at night, Xiao Qibin found Chen Jingyun.

"Mr. Wei has just gone to see Li Jimin, Li Jimin is not a student who has studied abroad, and he is very much in favor of our revolutionary cause, and under the auspices of Li Jimin, he joined our alliance." Xiao Qibin spoke with obvious excitement, and it was obvious that this news was extremely beneficial to the Alliance.

Looking at the current situation, the Alliance has already taken control of the new army in the city, and if the third battalion is brought over from the two battalions outside the city now, then a big thing can be accomplished.

"Oh, good thing! Mr. Wei has made a great contribution! Chen Jingyun was also relieved after hearing the news. In this situation, if you can win over one person, you will have one less enemy.

"Also, I have received news that in the next two days, our alliance will start a large-scale uprising across the country!" Xiao Qibin continued: "So I think it's best for us to do it in these two days! Hit the court by surprise! ”

"In two days? In such a hurry? "Chen Jingyun has been paying attention to the situation in the country, so far, although uprisings have occurred from time to time in various places, but only Hubei has succeeded, and other provinces are waiting and seeing, if there is an uprising now, it is very likely to attract the attention of the Beiyang Army, and the most important thing is that there is not much ammunition in the hands of the new army in the city now.

"How to solve the ammunition?" Chen Jingyun asked very directly, ammunition is the key to the success of the uprising.

Xiao Qibin said: "We have started to move the Pingshan Armory, but the effect is not great, we have successively got thousands of bullets in the past two days, but Li Jimin's department has enough ammunition!" He had promised to divide most of his ammunition and prepare to send it into the city! ”

Chen Jingyun nodded: "How much?" ”

"About 30,000 rounds!" When the 3rd Battalion left for Fuzhou, it brought with it enough ammunition, at least 50,000 or 60,000 rounds.

Hearing this, Chen Jingyun slapped the desktop with his hand: "Okay!" With this batch of bullets, it will not be a problem to take the Pingshan Armory, and after taking the armory, great things can be done! ”

At this time, Xiao Qibin's face was also full of joy: "That's it, so I came to you as soon as I got the news!" ”

Early the next morning, Li Jimin disguised himself into the city to meet Chen Jingyun. What is different from yesterday is that when Li Jimin saw Chen Jingyun today, he was no longer a man, but a commander-in-chief. Obviously, Wei Shengtian may have told him that the Alliance had set up an insurrectionary command headquarters.

"Brother Li, you and I have also been in love for many years, you're welcome, come, sit down first!" Li Jimin's figure is very tall, more than 1.85 meters, and his voice is also extremely loud.

"Thank you, Commander!" After that, the two took their seats.

Subsequently, Xiao Qibin, Lin Wenying, and Lin Zhaomin also came one after another, and this secret discussion was mainly to plan the military arrangements for the uprising. The four of them deliberated for a full two hours before deciding on the rules of action.

The preliminary decision was to hold the event tomorrow evening, during which Li Jimin's bullets would be sent in batches this evening and tomorrow morning. At that time, Chen Jingyun will lead the second battalion as the main force to capture the Pingshan armory first, and whether the uprising can succeed can be said to depend on whether Chen Jingyun can take the armory, and after taking the armory, the rebel army will have ammunition for the next series of battles; Xiao Qibin led the artillery battalion and the baggage battalion, Peng Shousong's party to seize Yushan, which is the strategic high ground of Fuzhou, and after taking Yushan, you can overlook the entire flag boundary, and after building an artillery position, you can directly shell the flag boundary and the general's office; Lin Wenying led the engineering battalion to attack the governor's mansion and the telegraph office, while Li Jimin's third battalion was stationed in place to guard against the second battalion of the 37th standard, which was monitoring Yuan Fang.

"Gentlemen, the situation has been largely decided, and next, it's up to Brother Li!" Chen Jingyun took a sip of tea, and then looked at Li Jimin.

Li Jimin immediately stood up: "Commander, don't worry, I, Li Jimin, will definitely send the ammunition in on time!" ”

"Good! Today and tomorrow, everyone appeases the comrades below! Let's do it together tomorrow night! After Chen Jingyun finished speaking, he looked at the people below with excitement on their faces, and couldn't help but smile.

After the meeting, Li Jimin and Lin Zhaomin left one after another, and Xiao Qibin and Lin Wenying also went out to contact their subordinates to prepare for the pre-uprising.

Chen Jingyun also called Lin Chengkun in and instructed him to arrange reliable manpower to receive the bullets in the evening. Lin Chengkun also knew that the day was coming, and his face was flushed with excitement.

After instructing Lin Chengkun, Chen Jingyun continued to wander around the barracks, and the closer he got to the uprising, the more he couldn't stop this matter of encircling the soldiers.

In the evening, Chen Jingyun saw that the time was almost five o'clock in the evening, but Lin Chengkun, who went to catch the bullet, still did not come back, and couldn't help but worry in his heart.

As time passed, he became more and more uneasy. After half past five, Chen Jingyun, who had not yet seen Lin Chengkun come back, sent another personal soldier to check the situation.

Unexpectedly, the pro-soldier turned around and came back within two minutes of going out, and it was Lin Chengkun who came back with him.

Before Chen Jingyun could ask anything, Lin Chengkun stepped forward quickly, and said hurriedly: "My lord, it's not good!" ”

After hearing the word 'bad', Chen Jingyun only felt a surge of qi and blood, he was really afraid of anything, so he immediately resisted the panic and took two steps forward: "What's the matter?" What's wrong? ”

Lin Chengkun obviously ran too quickly, and gasped: "Ammunition, ammunition has been stopped!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Jingyun almost couldn't stand on his feet, and after his body shook, his soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to support Chen Jingyun's body, but Chen Jingyun couldn't take care of himself, and continued to ask while flashing various possible surnames in his mind: "Tell me carefully!" ”

Immediately, Lin Chengkun was relieved: "I have been waiting in the teahouse next to the south city gate since the morning, and I waited until the evening, the people of the third battalion were really ready to send bullets into the city, and the people guarding the city gate also took care of it, but not long after entering the city, before I could go to answer, the horse pulling the cart was frightened, and the ammunition boxes were scattered on the ground in the panic, and the passing patrol battalion immediately surrounded it, and now the dozen or so people in the third battalion have been surrounded in an alley. ”

After Lin Chengkun spoke briefly, Chen Jingyun continued to ask a few more questions, such as how many people were in the surrounding patrol battalion, who led the team, and so on. I learned that before Lin Chengkun came back, there were not many patrol battalions surrounding the third battalion to escort ammunition soldiers, and the leader was only a sentry officer, with a total of only forty or fifty people.

At this time, Chen Jingyun's mind quickly flashed various possible surnames and solutions, and it was impossible to delay. As long as those people in the third battalion are captured, Li Jimin will also be exposed, and at the same time, people from other alliances will also be implicated, and more importantly, as soon as this matter is learned by Songshou and others, they will definitely hunt down the revolutionaries on a large scale, and even the closure of the city is not impossible. When the time comes, tomorrow night's uprising will turn out to be a joke.

After just a few breaths, Chen Jingyun had already made up his mind, and immediately said: "Call Lin Wenying, Xiao Qibin, Huang Anyuan, Ma Cheng hurry up!" ”

After that, Chen Jingyun had already sat down again, and at the same time, his mind kept thinking about what was coming.

Lin Chengkun had already personally run out at this time to call Lin Wenying, Xiao Qibin, Huang Anyuan, and Ma Cheng.

In less than a minute, Lin Wenying and others, who were hurriedly notified by Lin Chengkun, arrived one after another, and Chen Jingyun didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and let Lin Chengkun introduce the situation. And after Ma Cheng heard that they were talking about the uprising openly, he was still surprised at first, but without Chen Jingyun's instructions, he spoke first: "In my humble opinion, we should immediately send troops to the south city gate, grab the ammunition back, and then raise the matter in advance!" ”

Chen Jingyun had already expected Ma Cheng's reaction, after all, he had more or less indirectly revealed some thoughts about the uprising in the past few days, Ma Cheng was not a pedantic person, and he did not have the mind to be grateful to the imperial court, and after thinking about the pros and cons, it was natural that he would have his current performance.

Xiao Qibin also said: "I also agree to act in advance, although we are tentatively scheduled for tomorrow night, but the preparations of all departments have been completed, although there are not many bullets in our hands now, but there are thousands of rounds smuggled out of the Pingshan armory in the past few days, which is enough for a while." ”

Lin Wenying also said: "Anyway, it's going to be the opposite, it's the same thing sooner or later!" ”

Seeing that the two of them had no opinion, Chen Jingyun said in a deep voice: "Okay, since this is the case, we will launch it in advance, and all departments will act according to the previous plan, and Brother Huang, you work hard, immediately take the horse team to meet the third battalion, and we must ensure the safety of ammunition, and my second battalion will arrive later!" ”

Huang Anyuan immediately stood up: "Commander, rest assured, I, Huang Anyuan, swear to snatch the ammunition back!" ”
