Chapter 5 Recovery

Sun Daoren's words made Chen Jingyun even more puzzled! You Sun Daoren want to give me tea and invite me to dinner, which is a normal means to entrap his subordinates, which is nothing, but why did your wife get involved between your boss and subordinates? You must know that there are no outsiders in these years, Chen Jingyun has not seen Mrs. Sun a few times over the years, and as for his other relatives, he has not seen a few times.

Seeing that Chen Jingyun's expression was a little abnormal, Sun Daoren was also a little embarrassed, and immediately said: "If you have something to say tomorrow, I will go to the Governor's Mansion later, and you will go back to the barracks first!" It's important to hold down those big soldiers! ”

But when Chen Jingyun got up and was about to go out, Sun Daoren said again: "It's best to bring some osmanthus cake from Yang Ji in Beicheng tomorrow!" ”

With this sentence of headless and brainless, Chen Jingyun still couldn't understand why Sun Daoren was like this after leaving the town headquarters in a daze. Entrap subordinates? Not like! Well, you have taken a fancy to yourself and are ready to make yourself his son-in-law? This is also impossible, as far as Chen Jingyun knows, although Sun Daoren has two daughters, they have all been out of the cabinet, but it is not Chen Jingyun's turn to do anything. So why exactly?

Chen Jingyun, Lin Chengkun and others, who had such a trace of doubt in their hearts, went all the way to the south school field, and after returning to the south school field, they gave an order to transfer the 38th Standard 3rd Battalion in Fu'an County, Funing Prefecture back to Fuzhou, and then personally patrolled the barracks to comfort the soldiers.

Towards the end of the evening, the news of the Wuchang Uprising had already reached the barracks, and as expected, there were indeed many criticisms in the barracks, and even the word revolution could reach Chen Jingyun's ears from time to time. However, due to the previous emergency arrangement, the officers calmed the soldiers' emotions, and the camp gate was closed and the ammunition was collected in advance, which stabilized the situation.

Of course, what Chen Jingyun didn't know was that the revolutionaries played a big role in this process.

As night came, there were six or seven young officers sitting under the dim oil lamps in one of the barracks, and if Chen Jingyun was here, he would definitely recognize most of them.

The one headed by this is Lin Wenying of the engineering battalion, and the others are also middle and low-level officers, only to see one of them: "Brother Lin, are you sure Chen Jingyun said so!" ”

Lin Wenying nodded and said, "It's true!" Chen Jingyun made it clear at that time that Brother Juemin was a righteous man! ”

Immediately, another person said: "In this way, it is possible that Chen Jingyun has a revolution in his heart!" ”

"Fart!" An officer with a somewhat dark skin said: "Lin Hao was kicked out when he went to see him at the beginning of the year, if he hadn't run fast, he would have been caught!" ”

"Yes, it's not been a day or two since we wooed this Chen Jingyun, he has not been able to enter the oil and water in the past few years, and he is stubborn, and now I don't believe him when he changes his attitude!" Someone else said.

However, Lin Wenying pondered for a moment and said: "Do you say that it is because of the incident on the Wuchang side, so this Chen Jingyun is not optimistic about the Tartars, so he is temporarily looking for a way back!" ”

After these words were spoken, several people inside pondered for a while.

"It's possible, although this Chen Jingyun is a little stubborn, but he also has a family that will definitely not accompany the Tartars to die, and besides, how can he also come back from abroad, at least he has sympathy for the revolution, otherwise he won't bear us for so many years!"

"If you can win him over, there is hope for Fuzhou to recover!"

"Indeed, if you want to recover Fuzhou, this second battalion is the key, but this second battalion has been controlled by Chen Jingyun for so many years, and it is his people from top to bottom, although we also have people in it, but it can't play a role! Therefore, this is to recover Fuzhou, and this second battalion is to be fought for! "There is another person who supports Chen Jingyun.

After these words were uttered, everyone nodded.

Lin Wenying said: "Okay, let's send someone to contact and contact, if it really doesn't work, kill him before the incident!" ”

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the others: "Now that the Communist Association has successfully recovered Wuchang, the flame of revolution has been ignited in this land of Shenzhou, and it will not be long before large-scale uprisings will be set off in the provinces, and the recovery of Fujian will depend on our Restoration Society!" Ladies and gentlemen, the civilization of our China for thousands of years has been poisoned by the Tartars for more than 200 years, and in recent decades, the Tartars have continued to lose power and mislead the country. This land of Shenzhou is calling us, it is eager for us to bring it prosperity and strength, and it is eager for us to take it to recreate the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Forty thousand comrades are calling us, and the people are longing for us to bring him freedom and to lead them to a prosperous life.

Although the future is full of twists and turns, we revolutionaries should have no fear and use our cry to awaken the country and our blood to awaken these people! ”

After these passionate words began, the young people below were already ruddy-faced!

"If I can build a rich and powerful country and reproduce the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, I am willing to die even if I die!" Lin Wenying's tone gradually slowed down and said at the end, his eyes were a little hollow, as if he was fantasizing about what it would be like if the revolution succeeded and the country became rich and strong.

Lin Wenying, who has fallen into a fantasy, will not know that after the Xinghai Revolution, the country did not usher in the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people expected by many revolutionaries, but ushered in decades of warlord scuffle, and later because of the invasion of the army, countless soldiers and civilians were killed and injured

The four words of the rich country and the strong people are a joke!

Several other people were also moved by Lin Wenying's words, and they inevitably had to be passionate, and they calmed down after a while!

Lin Wenying said: "The future is full of hope, but the road ahead is tortuous, you still need to appease the revolutionary comrades below, and you must not be in a hurry to be brave." ”

"How long are we going to wait?"

"Soon, it's best if we can win over Chen Jingyun, if not, we'll come by ourselves then!" Lin Wenying took a deep breath: "When the time comes, I will take the lead in the uprising with the engineering battalion as the main force!" ”

After that, there was immediately a humanitarian: "You say, do you have to talk to the people of the Xingzhong Association and the Gongjin Association about this matter?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Wenying waved his hand and said: "Don't use it for the time being, after the first year of the year, the Communist Party will not have much strength in Fujian, and I am afraid that the news will be revealed!" As for the Xingzhong Society, Xu Chongzhi was driven to Shao Wu's side by Sun Daoren this afternoon, and without him, the Xingzhong Society is a plate of loose sand, useless! ”

"The victory of the revolution is coming, and when the whole country is recovered, after the overthrow of the Tartar regime and the establishment of the republic, we will all go down in history and become national heroes!" Although the speaker lowered his voice, he still revealed that demagogic tone.

The eight words of national heroes have ignited the atmosphere of these young officers!

"Yes, we'll make it!"

Tonight's Fuzhou is destined to be unpeaceful.

After patrolling the barracks and returning to the living room in the headquarters, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and Chen Jingyun was not going to go home tonight, but was staying in the barracks, after all, the situation was tense now, and it was better to sit in the barracks. After taking a hot bath, he was not in a hurry to rest, but opened the map of Fuzhou City, studying how to capture Fuzhou City when he rose up in the future. In addition, Chen Jingyun is also trying to recall some news that can be used.

Unconsciously, time passed slowly, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening that he put down his pen, and the manuscript paper under the pen was also full of things, which were not battle plans or anything else, but some military science and technology.

Although Chen Jingyun doesn't know much about military technology, he still knows some ordinary things, such as automatic rifles, airplanes, tanks, cannons, etc., but these things are still too far away for China now.

What I need now is not a tank, nor a cross-era aircraft carrier, but rifles, heavy machine guns, and army support artillery, and in addition to the quality, the more important thing is to be reliable and stable while remaining cheap enough, such as the domestic Hanyang-made rifle is quite in line with the current national conditions. With a cheap and sufficient number of rifles, plus heavy machine guns, it is almost possible to form an infantry regiment. If you add a certain number of 75 mm infantry guns, it will be even better, one division does not need more, as long as it can achieve the same as the six towns of Beiyang, there are 36 field guns, eighteen mountain guns are enough, sweeping China dare not say, but at least it can confront the six towns of Beiyang.

However, the artillery is too expensive, and if you want to make up an artillery mark, the 54 75-mm guns alone will cost millions of silver dollars, and if you want to make these 54 guns sound, you have to let the soldiers shoot more than a dozen shells with live ammunition, plus you have to equip each gun with hundreds of shells for war, which is nearly a million shells alone. And that's not even counting the salaries of the more than 1,000 men and the horses used to pull the guns! It's so expensive in peacetime, and it's even more wasteful in wartime, and a shell is a waste of silver on the enemy's head

But artillery is expensive, and it can't really be none, otherwise you'll wait to be bombed and eat bullets!

Since field artillery is so expensive but indispensable, Chen Jingyun turned his mind to mortars, which are rumored to be simple in technology and powerful at the same time, and are most suitable for artillery support firepower below the regimental level. Of course, the most important thing is that it's easy to use and cheap enough! In the absence of a large number of seventy-five-mm infantry guns, it is a good option to strengthen the artillery fire with a large number of mortars.

If you put any grenadiers and grenades in the column, it is estimated that it will be about the same!

When Chen Jingyun fantasized about how he would train the army and develop the military industry if he really became a warlord in the future, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, it turned out to be Lin Chengkun, I saw that he looked sneaky, Chen Jingyun was a little angry when he saw him like this, he was a new army officer, and he had also attended a new-style military academy, how could he show such a sneaky appearance.

"What are you going to do, come in!" After Chen Jingyun said this, Lin Chengkun walked in.

"My lord, I've inquired!" Lin Chengkun lowered his voice.

"Oh!" When Chen Jingyun heard this, he also knew that Lin Chengkun was talking about the revolutionary party: "You have contact with them!" ”

Lin Chengkun nodded: "I contacted them in the evening, and we had a meal together, and I showed them my mouth according to your instructions!" ”

Chen Jingyun said: "Oh, what will their alliance say!" ”

Hearing Chen Jingyun say about this alliance, Lin Chengkun was stunned for a moment before he remembered something: "They are from the Gongjin Association!" But it's not wrong to say they're allies! ”

"It's all the same anyway, tell me who you've seen!" Chen Jingyun also knew a little about the alliance, and knew that it was only a loose political alliance, and it would completely fall apart after the Xinhai Revolution.

"I met one of them surnamed Liu, and I heard that the editor of the newspaper was, but I was afraid that he would misunderstand, so I didn't ask him about his identity! He said that if a high-ranking officer like you joined the revolution, he would not be able to be the master, but he would report it! Lin Chengkun said.

Chen Jingyun nodded, since he dared to let Lin Chengkun contact the revolutionary party, he knew that those revolutionaries would not refuse him for the success of the revolution. After all, they can even regard any party hooligans as revolutionary comrades, and they are dignified as officers of the New Army and have thousands of troops in their hands, so I don't believe that they will not come to win them over.

"Well, well done! You keep in touch with them, and quickly, preferably within a few days! "Chen Jingyun is really afraid of long nights and dreams, after all, after the Wuchang Revolution, basically there have been revolutions in the southern provinces, and this Fujian must not take long, and he has to get ahead of those people, not to mention the rest, at least he must protect his army first! If you mix it well, being a division commander and overseeing the army or something is not easy to capture.

"By the way, they also said that if you can do something, my lord, they can also provide a reverberation!" Lin Chengkun said something Chen Jingyun didn't expect.

Loud again! This word sounded a little unfamiliar, and Chen Jingyun asked puzzledly: "Bribery?" How much are they going to give? ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengkun said: "This light resounding is for the soldiers below, as for the adults, they haven't said it yet!" ”

"It's all the same, it doesn't matter, how many of them can this resound?" Chen Jingyun is not very big about money now**, even if the revolutionaries send him hundreds of thousands of yuan, it is estimated that Chen Jingyun will use it to buy people's hearts and weapons.

"That's the number!" Lin Chengkun raised three fingers.

"Three hundred thousand?" Chen Jingyun asked tentatively.

Lin Chengkun shook his head.

"Thirty thousand?"

Lin Chengkun continued to shake his head.

Chen Jingyun was puzzled: "Is it three million?" These revolutionaries are so rich? ”

Lin Chengkun's face was about to cry: "It's three thousand!" Three thousand oceans! ”

As soon as he heard the three thousand, Chen Jingyun couldn't help but sneer: "It's called Huazi, three thousand, any officer below has a monthly salary of tens or hundreds of yuan, even if it is a big soldier, it costs eight yuan a month, what is this three thousand yuan enough!" Chen Jingyun originally wanted to continue to say that a seventy-five life mountain cannon would cost tens of thousands!

Immediately, Lin Chengkun agreed: "I also told him this at the time, and later the man said that if the adult can really raise something, then he will contact his superiors to raise more military expenses!" ”

Chen Jingyun waved his hand: "You continue to talk to him, even if this Qing court is useless, it won't collapse for a while, I'll give you a few more days to talk about it, and give this military salary, well, that's what they say, if you don't say anything, you have to get hundreds of thousands, otherwise you won't be able to pay the military salary for a month after this incident, of course, the more the better." It's up to you to play on your own! ”

"I know, I think those revolutionary parties are quite rich, and it is said that it should be okay for them to come up with two or three hundred thousand yuan for fundraising in overseas Nanyang and other places!" Lin Chengkun also felt that the 3,000 yuan was indeed too little, and some time ago, his uncle spent more than 3,000 yuan in order to redeem his body.

What's more, it is a rebellion that will kill the head and affect the family, even hundreds of thousands are not enough, Lin Chengkun despised the stinginess of the revolutionary party in his heart, and at the same time talked to Chen Jingyun about other situations about the revolutionary party. In fact, he and Chen Jingyun really wronged the revolutionaries, and not everyone in the revolutionaries is a rich man, and they usually rely on fundraising, and they usually live a tight life, Sun Yat-sen, Tao Chengzhang, Zhang Taiyan and others have quarreled many times over money, and the money involved is only more than 10,000 yuan! In order to cope with the reminders of Tao Chengzhang and others, Sun Wen even sold his watches and clothes! It can be seen that the revolutionary party is really not a big money! Besides, if the revolutionaries could come up with hundreds of thousands of yuan anytime and anywhere, they would have used it to buy guns and guns a long time ago, and they would not be able to take them out and give them away!
