Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It was late at night, but some rooms of the British Consulate at 33 Huangpu Road were brightly lit. After Major Gavint finished speaking, Sir Huo Bilan opened his sleepy eyes and said, "So, Major, the ultimate use of their smuggling weapons is to riot in the Yangtze River Valley, right?" Gevint's words reminded Sir Hopilan of a mob movement six years ago, and he now feared that these armed mobs would kill Europeans as they had done six years earlier.

When Major Gawin heard Sir Hubley's question, he knew that what he had just said was in vain, and in order to reduce the trouble of repeating it again, he said, "Oh... It can be understood in this way, but their target is the Qing government, not foreigners. ”

"No!" Huo Bilan remembers the riots of six years ago vividly, saying: "I will not allow any kind of riot in the Yangtze River basin, we have too many commercial interests in this region." Major, I command you to stop them. ”

"Yes, sir. I'm doing that, but it's going to involve the Ministry of Works, and the nest of the rebels is in the concession. "With the help of Chen Qimei, Ying Guixin, and the mutineers, Major Gai Wintert has roughly grasped the specific location of the Renaissance Society, but it is very difficult to capture these people," and, sir, we cannot use the patrols of the Ministry of Labor, according to Mr. Ailes, the Ministry of Works, those patrols are not reliable, and it is better to use the 6th Navy's team for the arrest operation. ”

"Navy 6?" Sir Huo Bilan laughed rarely, the Navy 6 Squad rarely intervened in the internal affairs of the concession, after the Boxer Rebellion. The last time it was at the end of last year when the public court riots were in action. "They're just a bunch of peasants, is it necessary to use the Navy 6 Sentai Squadron?"

"Sir, this is the only way to keep it a secret. And these people have already bought more than 30,000 rifles from South Africa. And the weapons intercepted some time ago show that they are gradually transporting these rifles to the Yangtze River basin. "In order to obtain the consent of Consul General Huo Bilan, Major Gawin had to exaggerate a little.

"Okay. Major. I will order Lieutenant Colonel James of the 6th World War to provide you with the necessary help. Thirty thousand rifles had to make Sir Huo Bilan pay attention to this, "On what day will you act?" ”

"Tomorrow." Major Gawin said confidently, confident that he would be able to get the rats out.

At the same time, the concession Defuli Tianbao Inn.

In front of the sumptuous banquet, the greasy voices of those female gentlemen were suppressed. Chen Qimei stood up, took a bowl of wine and said to several people: "My husband is not afraid of death, I am afraid that it will not work!" We, the revolutionary party, do things. Seek success and never fail. Tomorrow's business will be left to your brothers. As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his head and drank the wine from the bowl. He drank it all here, and the few people he respected also drank the wine with their necks tilted.

As soon as the wine is drunk, it is dry. Chen Qimei threw the bowl on the ground. In the sound of "clang", the ground was broken with porcelain, and a female gentleman was also startled by his movements, but the rest of the people threw the bowl on the ground, and a group of people laughed and laughed. At this time, Chen Qimei clapped her hands again, and a man brought in a wooden box from the outside, the box was very heavy, and when it was placed on the table with a "bang", only the sound of foreign silver could be heard inside. Everyone in the room was drawn to the voice, and the box opened. Sure enough, it was filled with silver dollars, and the eyes of the drinking man immediately warmed up.

Chen Qimei smiled at the corner of her mouth and said: "This time, I can't be respected, and my brother specially presented 1,000 foreign yuan to make a strong appearance." ”

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the drinking men were hot, and a numb face stood up and said: "From today on, my Wu Naiwen's life is the second brother's." If you don't kill the surnamed Yang, you will never have the face to see the second brother again in this life. ”

As soon as he said this, the other three drinking men also said, "Yes, what Brother Biao said is right, if you don't kill the person surnamed Yang, you will never have the face to see the second brother again in this life." ”

Chen Qimei laughed and said, "It's all a brother, don't say such frustrating words, finish things tomorrow, and everyone will come back to drink and play with women." As soon as he finished speaking, he touched the chest of a female gentleman beside him, and the woman exclaimed, and everyone immediately burst into laughter.

The wine was drunk wantonly and cheerfully, and there were girls around him who deliberately coquettishly persuaded them to drink, and these men quickly became half drunk, and then went back to the room to rest with the help of the female gentleman with the silver. After everyone left, Chen Qimei sat in the banquet for a while, and the man named Wu Naiwen just now turned back. He said: "Second brother, everything is done, just wait for tomorrow to do it." ”

Chen Qimei nodded and said, "Tonight and tomorrow morning, don't let them go out of the inn, in case the news leaks, it's not good." ”

Wu Naiwen hurriedly nodded, and Chen Qimei said again: "Tomorrow, the British will also go to Wan'anli to arrest people, but they don't know where the back door is, you let these people wait at the entrance of the alley in the back, it's best to pretend to pull a foreign car, and when Yang Jingcheng comes, he will be given to ......" Chen Qimei said this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, "If you can't wait for someone anywhere, you go to Ruyi to guard." ”

"Second brother, understand. Anyway, this time, I will never let Yang become the sun the day after tomorrow. "Wu Naiwen is not a member of the Qing Gang, he used to be a comprador in Hankou, and after the business was lost, he went to Shanghai to break into the rivers and lakes, and the people who offended the Qing Gang before were almost killed, Chen Qimei saw that others were smart and ambitious, so he saved him. Now take back the little brother, and the work is very good.

"That's good. And remember not to think about killing you all the time, even if you get injured. The more he went to the back, the more Chen Qimei was afraid of problems, and he couldn't help but admonish again.

"Understood, second brother. This matter has already been told to a few of them, and there is also a portrait of Yang Jingcheng, everyone also remembers it very clearly. When the time comes, when you see someone, you will definitely be able to kill him! Wu Naiwen was still afraid that Chen Qimei would not be worried, and said other things again.

"Good. I'm relieved to have you doing things. Hey, by the way, it's called today, why didn't that fairy phoenix come? "Xianfeng is the little girl who pulls the erhu over there with Ying Guixin's good match, Chen Qimei only thinks that the woman is beautiful, and I heard that she is still a chick, and she called it when she called the bureau today, but she didn't come.

Wu Naiwen smiled in his heart, the most famous book in Qi Feng's apartment is this fairy phoenix, this woman is extremely strong. would rather commit suicide than pick up customers, and once swallowed raw opium and was sent to a foreigner hospital to save it. Since then, her mother has no longer forced her to pick up customers, but some bureaus still want her to accompany her. She also knows each other, and some of Sven's honest guests still go to accompany the bureau. A foreigner came back after playing the tune, but the more this happened, the more those dignitaries begged to see her like a dog, and even two foreigners were also obsessed with her.

"Second brother, people have a high vision. She was invited by a foreigner tonight. Wu Naiwen didn't dare not tell the truth, but he was afraid that Chen Qimei would be angry. said: "If she knew that her second brother was a revolutionary, she would definitely have secretly agreed." ”

"Oh, she likes revolutionaries?" Chen Qimei forgot for a while that foreigners stole the anger of the beauties. I began to think that the fairy phoenix was coming.

"This ......" Wu Naiwen is actually talking nonsense, he only knows that the guests that Xianfeng likes are all short dresses, and according to this look, isn't it a revolutionary party.

He couldn't speak, but Chen Qimei didn't pursue it. "Okay." Go back and rest. Tomorrow afternoon, Wan Anli will definitely wait for Yang Jingcheng. And also. When you're done, remember to ......"

As he spoke, he made a shooting motion, asking Wu Naiwen to kill him afterwards, Wu Naiwen was shocked and said, "Second brother, understand, after the matter is completed, ......"

"It doesn't matter if it works out or not!" Chen Qimei spoke at the same time. His eyes widened, which startled Wu Naiwen.

"Yes. Be. A few of them can not see the sun the day after tomorrow. Wu Naiwen hung his head. Honestly.

On the afternoon of the next day, the four members of the CPPCC National Committee sat in Wan'anli and waited for news from Beijing, and if there was no change in the news from Beijing, then the battle order would be issued as early as this evening and tomorrow morning at the latest. Yang Rui thought about it a few more times last night, whether it was success or failure in advance, the result was many deaths. Now many people in the meeting are in a hurry to burn their buttocks, and they are eager to take action as soon as possible to overthrow the Manchus. Then you will obey their wishes, otherwise your prestige as the president will be greatly damaged.

Yang Rui thought very well at his residence at night, he chose dead people between dead people and his own prestige, but when he arrived in Wan'anli in the morning, he saw the young girls on the third floor who were already busy, and felt that it was too cruel to send them to death. Kindness is often synonymous with cowardice, but this has nothing to do with the revolution, the revolution wants to abandon all goodness, which Yang Rui understands more and more, but he can't do it for the time being.

"Can Huanqing's side not punish so severely......" The communication room has not been called again for a long time since the last telegram, and after a long silence, Cai Yuanpei suddenly said tentatively. He seemed to feel that he had decided to raise righteousness, and the punishment for Tao Chengzhang could be commuted.

"No way!" Yang Rui didn't wait for Wang Ji to say the same words before he said the words, "Leave your post without permission and connect with each other privately." This is a violation of discipline that will never be allowed by the rules of the meeting, and seeing that Huanqing is for the revolution, this is the net open; If it had been someone else, he would have been expelled from the meeting a long time ago. The ultimate reason for this uprising is the mutiny in the capital, he is useless in Shanghai, and we will deal with it in the same way after the mutiny, if he is in the capital at this time, then we will have more news, so he is running blindly to add to the chaos. Yang Rui said very politely, in fact, if he hadn't remembered the tragedy of Tao Chengzhang founding the Guangfu Society in history, and then dying tragically at the hands of Chen Qimei after the success of the revolution, he would not have opened up to him.

"Huanqing is really too much this time." Zhang Taiyan stood with Cai Yuanpei on the matter of righteousness, but when dealing with Tao Chengzhang, he had the same idea as Yang Rui, if Yang Rui didn't know that this person was outspoken, he would really have to treat him as a jack of all trades.

Yang Rui and Zhang Taiyan have the same meaning, not to mention Wang Jitong, who has always dealt with members who violate discipline very harshly, Cai Yuanpei can only shake his head.

When everyone finished discussing this matter, Chen Guangshou knocked on the door and came in, and he said angrily: "Sir, there are a lot of foreign soldiers on the side of the road outside." After he sent Yang Rui to Wan'anli in the morning, he went to inquire about the woman's family background yesterday, and after inquiring, he came out and saw a team of foreign soldiers on the road.

"Foreign soldiers? The main road? Wang Jitong was a little surprised when he heard the foreign soldiers, but when he heard that it was the main road, he relaxed, and said: "It is not surprising that the foreign troops will go to the racecourse many times. But...... Xiao Bing," Wang Jitong shouted to Yu Ziyi next door, "You go and send someone to check what those foreigners are going to do." "The road where Wan'anli is located is separated by two blocks from the main road, and foreigners generally go to the racecourse from the main road. Wang Jitong was not nervous.

In fact, Major Gewent transferred the Royal Navy 6th Brigade to the main road under the guise of going to the hippodrome, and in peacetime, only two local troops in the concession would go. The first is the racecourse, and the second is the shooting range, the shooting range is on the side of the American Concession, and it is too far to go there and then turn to Wan'anli, so the route he finally chose is the main road - it is only more than 300 yards away from the destination, and it takes less than a minute to run.

At the intersection of the main road, Lieutenant Colonel James stopped the procession. The officers of each team gathered in one place, and a map of the concession had been opened, waiting for Ying Guixin, the party leading the way, to show the way. Ying Guixin was surrounded by so many people. He only felt that he couldn't breathe, and it was only after Gawin patted him a few times that he came back to his senses, bowed his head and pointed to the Wan'anli area on the map in half-baked English, and said, "Here...... Over here. Tea house to ......"

He was surrounded by foreigners, and he was very flustered. Hurriedly pulled a man in a black shirt and a black hat next to him over, and drank: "Say it quickly!" Where are the houses of the revolutionary? ”

The one in the black shirt and black hat is actually Liu Guanghan, although he has never been in Wananli, but he has a very good relationship with Zhang Taiyan, once he heard Zhang Taiyan say to go to Wang Jitong, and after breaking up, he saw it in the teahouse over there in Wananli, he knew that Zhang Taiyan had never been to any teahouse, so he guessed that this headquarters was near the teahouse.

"I ......" Liu Guanghan was pulled by Ying Guixin. Busy straightening the hat that was about to fall, he said, "I know that the teahouse is an entrance. But I haven't been there yet. ”

Mi Zhanyuan next to him helped to relieve the siege and said: "The revival will be very strictly guarded, I wanted to catch a few live mouths and was afraid of startling the snake, but now it is preliminarily concluded that the teahouse is the entrance, and the real nest I think is in the attic of the teahouse." "Mi Zhanyuan, who was born as a horse dealer, has done a lot of business, and has also made a lot of friends, and he is very shrewd, "If you want to arrest people, the Suzhou Creek side will also be blocked, this location is too good, the back of the river is facing the street, and you are in the downtown area, and if you are not good, you will run." ”

Gai Wintert reconfirmed the place of arrest from the translator, and said disapprehantly: "Don't worry, if they take a boat, it will be the best." After finishing his spirits, he explained the map to the leading officer.

"They have guns, are they captured or killed?" Lieutenant Colonel James asked. The order to the 6th squad said that it was to arrest arms smugglers, but since they were arms smugglers, they had guns, and it was easy to kill, but it was dangerous to capture.

"Defiant killing." Gawin pondered and said, and as Lieutenant Colonel James nodded, he emphasized, "The older ones should stay, these people are important." ”

After Gai Winter finished speaking, his adjutant added, "Sir, the telephone line has been cut, but Huayang Company has only agreed to suspend it for a quarter ......of an hour," he looked at the table again, "and they will cut the line in two minutes." ”

"Very good." Major Gawin only wanted a few minutes of interruption in his actions, so that even if a fellow party saw the 6th Squadron charge, there would be no way to report it. After speaking, he looked at the table below and said, "After the action begins, be quick!" Fast! ”

"Yes, sir!" Several troops of the 6 Sentai who led the team said to him. This time, more than 180 soldiers of the 6th Squadron entered the concession and went to the teahouse on Beijing Road to arrest a total of more than 180 soldiers, and these more than 100 people were divided into three teams, one team drove from Shanxi Road to Beijing Road, the other team drove from Henan Road to Beijing Road, and the last team blocked Wan'anli's back road from Suzhou Creek.

As the time approached, Gavint looked at the seconds on his watch and nodded to Lieutenant Colonel James, who waved his hand at the two groups of soldiers a hundred meters away, and the arrest began.

If Wan'anli is seen on the map of later generations, it is at the junction of Beijing East Road and Shandongbei Road, which is the real headquarters of the Fuxing Society, but the location of the headquarters is not above the teahouse, but in the attic from the north and south grocery stores to the six shops of the cloth shop in the west of the teahouse, which is the third floor and the fourth floor on the top. The third floor is for staff and the fourth floor is for the Committee. In order to keep secret, the headquarters has three exits, one of which is used by the staff on the third floor, behind Wan'anli, and two are used by the committee, one is in the teahouse, and the other is on Shandong Road.

Although the headquarters is convenient, Wang Jitong, who is not at ease, has set up two cordons near Wananli, plus Li Yuan and others in the patrol room, which can be described as foolproof. Only this time he miscalculated. He had no idea what the Royal Navy 6 was trying to do on the main road, and he didn't know what Liu Guanghan had betrayed. And when the 6th team of the British army rushed to Wan'anli, the first warning point that wanted to report the news was helpless under the ineffective telephone. However, Cheng Ziqing of the second warning network drew out his revolver and fired several shots at the sky when the phone was ineffective. This attracted the attention of the sentry watching the wind on the roof of Wan'anli, and then pulled the alarm. Cheng Ziqing, on the other hand, threw away the pistol under the rifles of the two British soldiers, raised his hands, and was finally knocked over by the butt of a British gun. People's fate seems to be predestined, and Cheng Ziqing, a secret agent who broke into a major conference in 1921, completed the task of reporting the message ahead of schedule this time. In the future, with this achievement, he stood on the beach in Shanghai without falling down through the wind and waves.

As soon as the alarm sounded, everyone in Wan'an was shocked. While everyone was still watching, a second, more urgent alarm sounded, and everyone put down what they were doing, not to retreat. Instead, destroy all the important texts first. Wang Jitong turned on the power supply of the entire building at the same time. He went to his secret room and took out an iron box, and said, "Let's go separately, and after escaping, we will gather at the second assembly point." ”

Yang Rui also stood up at this time and looked at the others: "Everyone go out and pay attention to safety, if you really go to the patrol room to drink porridge, then our lawyer will soon find you." ”

Everyone has heard of the porridge in the patrol room, and Zhang Taiyan ate it for a year when Su reported the case. He smiled and said, "Don't drink porridge." I'm about to be released from prison, and I'm afraid I'm not used to staying in for a few more days. ”

He joked. The four of them said goodbye in the attic, Wang Jitong and the members on the third floor walked back, Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Taiyan went to the teahouse, and the most secret Shandong Road exit was given to Yang Rui.

It was only fifty meters from the conference room to the attic of a shop on the far side, and the time from the fourth floor to the first floor and out to Shandong Road was only forty-five seconds, at this time, Major Gai Went had just rushed into the teahouse with the 6th team, and when he rushed to the attic on the fourth floor with a bang, half vigilant and half nervous, there was nothing here, and the army searching on the third floor also came to report: "Major, there is nothing here." ”

Geven was frustrated, as a senior MI5 agent, he actually had a time to pounce in the air, he kept going back and forth in the attic, eager to go up to the tiles to see what was going on, and at this time, I don't know where suddenly a series of slight explosions came from, he listened carefully and shouted, "Next door!" Next door to the wall! They can't run! Quick, break through the walls! ”

These explosions came from the attic of the headquarters, and at this time, the people of the headquarters had already finished retreating, and according to the rules, they began to blow up the kerosene barrels in the house and carry out the burning procedure. The walls of the old-fashioned wooden building were not strong, and after several impacts, the thin brick walls were knocked open by the 6th Fighters, who were as strong as oxen, but as soon as they crashed away, a wave of heat rushed to their faces, which made the people in the attic suffocate their breath, and several soldiers shouted, "It's on fire, Major!" It's on fire......"

Gavent stomped his feet in anger as he saw the fire inside, but as soon as the kerosene barrels were broken, there was a sea of fire everywhere, and people couldn't get in under the raging fire. "They must have come out! They must come out! Major Gavant rushed downstairs in a hurry, hoping that the men placed downstairs and on the Suzhou Creek would catch some.

When Major Gavon went downstairs, Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Taiyan were already sitting on the first floor of the teahouse drinking tea, surrounded by foreign soldiers outside, so they had to ask their men to cut a pot of tea and wait to see the foreigners' good show. And Wang Jitong, with dozens of people, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the 6th team, as soon as they came out to the Suzhou Creek, they were stopped by a team of foreign soldiers, but fortunately, the iron box in his hand has been released. He didn't say a word in the face of the foreign soldiers, but just regarded himself as an ordinary passerby, and many of the more than thirty people who were stopped were students of the patriotic girls' school.

And Yang Rui, on the road out of Shandong saw the foreign soldiers on the other side of the Suzhou Creek, retreated back, entered a fine cake shop on the side of the road, while biting a piece of fine cake while watching more and more patrols on the road, he was very worried, at this time Chen Guangshou, who went out to look at the wind, came back and said worriedly: "Sir, there are not only foreign soldiers on the street, but also many patrols, blocking the road, it seems that the street is going to be closed for search." ”

"Hmm." Yang Rui was silent, the shape was very bad, there were a lot of patrols on this side of Shandong Road just now, and it seems that this area is all surrounded. "Can you jump out?" If it doesn't involve Zhejiang's uprising, it doesn't matter if the street is closed, it's a big deal to live in the patrol house for two days, but now that the righteousness is imminent, the time can't be delayed.

"Okay," Chen Guangshou nodded.

"And Ruyi has a box in my room over there, you go find it and deposit it in Citibank." Yang Rui saw that the shape was getting more and more severe, and he couldn't help but arrange a way back, he looked at Chen Guangshou's surprised expression and said, "The things inside are very important, you go in person." I have a small leaf to protect me, and I can't make a big deal. ”

When the situation was critical, Yang Rui carried a box, but there were people guarding it in Ruyi, and when Chen Guangshou just wanted to speak, Yang Rui urged again: "This is very important!" Just go! (To be continued......)
