Chapter 10 Restoration Day (1)

Shanghai is liberated! Shanghai is liberated!

After a night of turmoil, when the day came, people had fully accepted this reality. The numbers printed by newspapers were scrambling in people's hands. Announcements starting with the Yellow Emperor's Era were surrounded and read aloud. Countless young people were excited to sign up for the Shanghai Military Government in recruiting places at Zhabei and Gaochang Temple to participate in the Revolutionary Army.

The soldiers and officers of the Chinese Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army patrolling the streets were surrounded by crowds, asking what kind of amazing figures the Shanghai Governor Yuchen was. The soldiers had proud red light on their faces, their chests were high, and their military postures patrolling the streets became more and more standard and upright. Even the more than 2,000 police officers who were recruited last night boasted that they had been comrades of the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army, and they worked together inside and outside to restore Shanghai.

Li Pingshu, Li Xie and these senior officials of the Shanghai Military Government who had just taken up new positions, convened meetings and arranged work in carriages. They not only had to take over the civil work in Shanghai, but also maintain the stability of the market and have the important task of raising funds. They also had to arrange the venue for the revival celebration meeting in Zhangyuan in the afternoon. They were really busy.

In the Governor's Office of the Manufacturing Bureau, Yuchen also urged his officers not to have a short rest and carried out their work vigorously. First, the more than 800,000 taels of deposits from Shanghai Guandao, Mint, and Tongyuan Bureau were transported back to the Manufacturing Bureau one after another, and then they took some to the Mint to be converted into foreign coins. Then they stepped up the reorganization of the troops, and all the original two detachments were upgraded to regiments and put up the racks first. He Sui, the commander of the First Regiment, and Chen Heshan, the deputy commander, had three infantry battalions, with four infantry companies and one machine gun company in each battalion. The commander of the Second Regiment, Wu Cai, and the deputy commander of the Second Regiment, Zhang Xiongfu, were all upgraded to the same level as the First Regiment. Each regiment currently has only more than 500 people, and a teaching battalion has been established, with dozens of students from the Fourth Middle School of the Army as subordinate officers, and at the same time, those young soldiers who have come to serve and have experienced the army. Lu Fengqiao served as the teaching staff.

The battalion commander of the guide battalion is also the commander-in-chief guard of the military government. The battalion has five infantry teaching companies, two artillery teaching companies, and one cavalry teaching company. There are only more than 300 people in the battalion at the moment. In addition, the original police formed two patrol detachments, each with more than 300 people, and cooperated with the original old police to maintain public security in the city. Several major departments of the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army headquarters were also established. Wu Cai was also the chief of staff and led the work of the General Staff. Wang Lian was the chief of military commander in the Army Middle School. The deputy director was Zhang Zhihe, a student of the Army Middle School. The director of the Military Law Department was graduated from the Japanese Lushi. Ji Cunzhong, a young officer who served in the Manufacturing Bureau. He used to be a military judge in the Hubei New Army. The director of the Intelligence Department temporarily appointed Chen Sanye as the position of the General Staff. He refused for a long time, but it was only after Chen Shanhe who played with him for a long time that he had done it.

Yuchen knew that his team was weak. Although there were countless young people who joined the army, he did not dare to recruit them indiscriminately. He just considered his own strength to expand the team. He planned to fill up the troops within ten days and felt that it was very fast. At this time, he missed the thousands of trained new soldiers scattered on the road after the failure of Moling Pass.

The 2,000 revolutionary officers and soldiers in the organization immediately paid 20 yuan per month and 10 yuan per soldier in accordance with the rank of the officers. In addition, Chen Sanye and several officers were sent back to Zhenjiang with tens of thousands of yuan to recruit scattered officers and soldiers from the original 9th ​​Town. As much as they recruit, they would be transported back by ship.

Just the reorganization of the army and the maintenance of public order are so busy that the officers of all sizes are too busy. Yuchen also deliberately asked them to keep a distance from civil affairs. The direct line is called the direct line only in his own hands. Moreover, the soldiers are still better.

Chen Shanhe was sweating hotly on his head, but he still put his military cap in a straight manner. His belt and horse boots were shiny. Their Governor Yu had the most strict requirements on the military discipline. Yesterday, several soldiers were ordered to be imprisoned by Yuchen in the Military Law Department because of his fatigue all night and his military appearance was a little uneven. He was so used to it that he, a casual person, had to dress neatly.

He was setting up a ground to recruit soldiers at the entrance of the Zhabei Patrol General Bureau. The crowded people were full of people, and young people were open. My registration shouts were mixed together. How could he be good at this? Yuchen had already explained that he would not be a gangster, a person with a habit of martial arts, or a person with a thin body, and a person with a young age. He did not dare to take it casually, otherwise, as long as the Governor Yu looked over coldly, he, a lawless and famous person, would be scared. It was strange that before the liberation, he did not take this Governor seriously. After taking Shanghai overnight, everyone became more awe-inspiring to see this young boss. After taking Shanghai, they forced them to work hard, acted very well and acted resolutely, making them willingly busy there, but they felt that this was a matter of course.

In the eyes of this young man, everything in the world is so beautiful. The future is full of infinite possibilities.

He jumped to the table, picked up a horn with iron rolls, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't be confused, everyone will come in order! Everyone is passionate young people who are determined to revolution, and they should be conscious of abide by discipline! When they get into the army, the discipline will be stricter! I will not accept any of the crowds!"

Dozens of soldiers pushed left and right with butt stocks, and finally sorted out the order. Chen Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief and decided to turn a blind eye to the soldiers' behavior of hitting people with butt stocks.

People have made many rules and the recruitment speed has also accelerated. In just over an hour, more than a hundred young people have been selected. Chen Shanhe was busy registering when he heard two crisp voices saying to him: "We must join the army too!"

Chen Shanhe was stunned and his eyes slowly moved up. He first saw the graceful waist under the moon white coat, and then saw two identical beautiful girls' faces. His eyes were blurred and he couldn't even speak. The lover in his dream!

The two pretty girls standing there stared at him in a daze and said impatiently: "What are you looking at? Why don't you fill in our names?" Chen Heshan then reacted, with a smile, according to the memories of an old squad leader beside him, this smile can be called vulgar, and said to the two girls very kindly: "Our army does not recruit female soldiers...what are the names of the two?"

Even in Shanghai, a big place that was pioneering, it was incredible that girls wanted to join the army. Looking at everything here, the people waiting in line buzzed. The two girls looked at each other: "My name is Yin Ruizhi, and her name is Yin Weijun. We are all students of Jianhu female heroes. We have learned to ride horses and shoot guns at Datong School. We were originally going to Shanghai to participate in the uprising, but since you took the lead, it would be fine. I also heard that you are going to fight Nanjing, and we cannot miss this time no matter what."

The Yin sisters are children of the Yin family of Shaoxing clan. They are originally fearless people. The ones they admire most in their lives were their teacher Qiu Jin. Qiu Jin died in martyrdom, and they had an irreconcilable hatred with the Qing Dynasty. He heard that the Resurrection Association was hosting the uprising in Shanghai, so he ran over to participate. These elders of the Resurrection Association treated them as their daughters, so they had to take them by their side, without any intention of letting them take risks. This time, Yuchen and the others took the lead. The two girls' enthusiasm was nowhere to be vented. When they heard that the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army was recruiting soldiers, they ran over without telling them.

When Chen Shanhe heard Datong Academy and Jianhu Female Heroes, he knew that they were tricky figures. He neither wanted nor wanted to offend him, nor could he really recruit two delicate female soldiers. After a change of thought, he smiled at them, "My regiment really has no female soldiers. After a while, what if I take you to see the governor? If there is a female soldiers at the headquarters, that would be great. Do you think it would be successful?"

He also had his little plan in his mind. If these two girls could be at the headquarters, wouldn’t I, Chen Wubing, have more opportunities?

And all this is just a small episode in the overall situation of Shanghai.

Mr. Zhang Jizhi held a newly cast silver ball in his hand and tossed and turned around in his hand. The old man was old and didn't sleep well last night. He is now a little depressed. This old man was the top scholar of the Qing Dynasty. He was famous for his cultivation and industry all his life. His every move, every word and every action had a great impact on the situation in the southeast. This time, he was invited by Li Pingshu and Chen Qimei to come to Shanghai to assist in the restoration of his career. He has always lived in Shi Liangcai's mansion.

He had been active in Jiangsu independence because of the failure of Moling Pass. It is said that Zhang Renjun, Tieliang, Zhang Xun and others might have to touch him. He had just rushed from Nantong to Shanghai, but in just one day, Shanghai had turned upside down.

Shen Enfu walked in respectfully: "Old Ji, it's already two o'clock in the afternoon. The guards sent by the Governor's Office to pick up your old one have arrived. They will start at three o'clock in Zhangyuan's liberation celebration. Do you think you're leaving now?"

Zhang Jizhi ignored his words and just raised his silver balls to show Shen Enfu: "Chunhui, come and see, this is the new silver balls minted by the Mint at noon, and the silver contains is exactly the same as Long Yang. It has been circulated and used on the market."

Of course, Shen Enfu knew this. This was the mold made by the Mint workers overnight last night. On the front was Yuchen's slightly rough avatar, and on the back were the two big characters Hanyuan. The silver and the Long Yang were seven cents and two cents. The quality was excellent. Thousands of pieces had been cast as pay and distributed to the soldiers of the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army. By the afternoon, they were already circulated on the market. Although the quality was the same as Long Yang, merchants were extremely willing to accept it. Even a piece of "Yu Datou" (the common name for this new silver round by the people) could be exchanged for two pieces of Long Yang.

He didn't know what Zhang Jizhi showed him what this Yinyuan was doing. Zhang Jizhi sighed: "This person has a good hand."

Only then did Shen Enfu realize that Zhang Jizhi was talking about Yuchen. He smiled and said, "Old Ji, do you know what the Consultative Affairs Bureau says about this governor now? Everyone says that he is a second-hand governor. By the day, he has killed many people, all of whom are recruiting soldiers by himself. He doesn't want to recruit these people, but he sees killing one. Is he still sitting firm in Shanghai? He has also made a lot of money in Shanghai, but he hides them all in the manufacturing bureau and doesn't want to make friends with Shanghai people at all. He also asked Pingshu to help him raise three million military pay. Pingshu is happy to use his banner to do a big deal, which makes these gentry and merchants dislike him. In this way, how many days can this governor work?"

He was very dissatisfied with governor Yuchen. Zhang Jizhi looked at him slowly: "Does this young governor want to stay in Shanghai? You guys underestimate him too much."

He asked Shen Enfu: "How old is Yuchen this year?"

Shen Enfu replied: "When I went to visit him in the morning, I found that he was surprisingly young. I also asked about his youth, and he said he was twenty-three years old."

Zhang Jizhi nodded and looked at the Yinyuan in his hand. Shen Enfu was a little impatient, but he did not dare to urge the old man. Zhang Jizhi said lightly: "I am only twenty-three years old, very young. The world in the future seems to belong to these young people." As he said that, he stood up, and naturally a servant was serving him in his outer robe and jacket and hat. He picked up a civilization stick and greeted Shen Enfu: "Let's go."

These local Shanghai celebrities are watching Yuchen's jokes. They plan to work in Shanghai for a few days. Zhang Jizhi vaguely sees the thoughts of this young governor. He doesn't want to develop in Shanghai at all! Yuchen is very clear that his foundation in Shanghai is so shallow that it is almost equal to nothing, and Shanghai is a place where many forces compete, with undercurrents and these forces also have great potential strength. If you still want to stay here and not leave, it is normal to suddenly end one day. He just wants to concentrate Shanghai's wealth and materials in his own hands, and how much can he get. Then he trains an army and then goes to Jiangsu or somewhere to develop in the name of going north to attack the Qing Dynasty. This not only brings benefits from Shanghai, but also cannot escape the name of the revolutionary heroes.

He killed those recruiting soldiers, one was to establish his authority and let others know his iron-blooded style. The second was to give the people a good reputation and prevent these people from harassing the place. The third was to concentrate all the military forces in Shanghai in their own hands and not give them the opportunity to start a new mountain. His troops were tightly grasped, armed in order, and paid a lot. He would never harass the place when buying and selling the people. In addition, he also tried his best to catch money and establish his own material foundation. As long as he had soldiers and money, he would have territory everywhere. Why stay in Shanghai to tide on this mixed water?

Even when minting Yu Datou, he was very thoughtful. First, he started to make coins and circulate in the market, which was equivalent to declaring the legitimacy of this regime to the people. Second, the coins were circulated, and the acceptance of the entire Southeast was equivalent to accepting the credit of coins. It was natural to open a bank to issue banknotes along with the circulation of this coin. This was equivalent to controlling how much wealth it was!
