The news soon reached Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng's ears. Li Tiancheng then learned the news and immediately asked someone to go to the concession to inquire. Then he took the guard platoon people directly to a gun factory on the southeastern Puxi and Huangpu River.

"Brother Ma, it seems that Zhang Tiewu's people are going to have a big fight with foreigners. What should we do?" Lu Yuzheng asked Ma Chaoyun anxiously.

"Brothers Tiewu are heroes. They are all children of the working people. I am afraid that they will suffer losses if they make trouble with foreigners. Take your troops from the defense camp to the near concession. If there is any problem, we will support Tiewu brothers." After Ma Chaoyun met Zhang Tiewu, he found that he was a young man who values ​​friendship and was willing to get to know this person. If he didn't take action to help him, he felt a little regretful and was not in line with his nostalgia. He immediately ordered without hesitation.

"Okay, Brother Ma, I'll listen to you. Let's take your brothers to support you." Lu Yuzheng is also a person who dares to do things and dares to do things. He admires Ma Chaoyun's character very much and obeys him.

Huang Heshan and Zhang Tiewu, with more than fifty people, naked, and carrying guns, rushed to the gate of the concession. Most of the people on the street dodged to the side, and some brave people followed them to watch the fun.

"Smith, get out of here. If I don't give me an explanation today, I will take people to the concession to catch people and give you an incense stick of time. After this time, we will be welcome." Zhang Tiewu carried a Carbin rifle and placed it on his shoulder, shouting loudly at the door of the concession. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two guards at the door had closed the door and hid inside.

"Get out, get out!"

"Smith, get out!"

The people from the Tiandihui held their guns and shouted loudly at the door.

Flashes of footsteps and whistles were soon heard in the concession, and Smith was gathering his troops to reach the door.

"Sergeant Smith, do we want to open the door to drive away those mobs?" asked a corporal.

"No, as long as we don't open the door, they can't do anything. Those mobs have guns in their hands, so we should be careful." Smith wanted to continue cheating, thinking that as long as he ignored Zhang Tiewu and others, there would be no problem.

"Damn it, it's time, they haven't come out yet, what should we do?" Zhang Tiewu immediately jumped up and said when he saw that the incense stick inserted on the ground had been burned.

"Brothers, hit the concession gate. You must rush in and catch a few people to confess, otherwise you will die here today and will not retreat back." Huangheshan immediately issued an order without thinking.

Then the Huangheshan men went down to find a few big woods nearby. Everyone carried two big woods and began to hit the concession gate, rushing one by one, and after another, they hit for more than a dozen times, and soon a crack broke out.

"No, Sergeant, their men are about to rush in!"

"Line in line and prepare for shooting!" As long as the mob breaks through the gate and comes inside, we will shoot." Smith felt that things were unstoppable at this time, and immediately ordered the more than thirty people under him to start to line up in a shooting formation, squatting on the ground in three rows, standing in the back two rows, aiming at the gate.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the concession gate was rushed open by the people from the Tiandihui Society. Then they immediately found that a group of people were aiming at the door with guns a hundred meters away in front.

"Stop moving forward, those who enter the concession will kill you!" Smith gave an ultimatum to Huang Heshan and Zhang Tiewu, and shouted loudly to them.

"Brothers, hurry up!" Huang Heshan only glanced at it, and then issued an order without hesitation.

"Run!" More than fifty people began to rush through the straight passage at the door, or the open space left on both sides of the passage. The guns in their hands had been opened, and some had already fired.

"Fire!" Smith issued an attack order in English.

Suddenly, a dense gunfire sounded on the streets in the concession, and the onlookers at the gate of the concession immediately avoided the sides.

"Kill!" Huang Heshan shouted violently, aimed at the body of a US soldier, fired a shot, but didn't know if it hit, and then rushed forward with his brothers.

"Everything is aimed at Smith, that bastard, and knock him down!" Huangheshan saw Smith commanding in front, and immediately issued an order to attack him, the cunning villain.

"Bang! Bang! Bang...!" Gunshots quickly rang out on the land of the concession, and a harsh alarm echoed in the concession. All residents began to hide and dared not go out. On the other hand, a group of more than 50 American soldiers were coming, and the British side also sent about 150 soldiers to hear the news and surrounded the south gate of the concession.

"Retreat, retreat to the left!" Three or four people from the Tiandihui had already fallen to the ground, and several of the US military fell. Seeing that the other party was coming fiercely, Smith wanted to lure the other party into the hinterland. The other American troops and British troops were almost arrived.

"Boom, brothers, get Smith back!" Huang Heshan commanded loudly.

About fifty people chased after him, and gunfire continued, and Smith's men fell down three or five more during the retreat.

"Ah!" The people from the Tiandihui quickly aimed all the guns at Smith. After the soldiers around him fell, he had lost protection. Then several gun holes appeared on his body in succession, and he fell to the ground with a scream.

"The battle has begun, let's take action!" Ma Chaoyun and Lu Yuzheng, outside the concession, led half a battalion of about 250 and 60 people, and were rushing to the gate of the concession.

"No matter how many, rush in and rescue Zhang Tiewu brothers. There are many soldiers in the concession, and they are not opponents."

"Run!" Ma Chaoyun immediately issued an order and led his people into the concession.

At this time, two teams of people wearing plain clothes were frequently moving outside the concession. They found taller buildings nearby, found ways to go up there, and then looked down at the situation in the concession. They were busy with various instruments in their hands. These were two squads of soldiers sent by Li Tiancheng, responsible for reconnaissance, measurement and calculation tasks, and holding distance detectors and transmitters in their hands to calculate the specific locations of the forces of all parties in the concession.

Li Tiancheng had already arrived in a factory area in the southeast of Shanghai Nan City. Later, it was a prosperous area, but it still seemed very desolate now. Several villages were sparsely distributed around it, and there were weeds everywhere. A machinery factory for producing industrial machine tools was established here. But in fact, this is an arsenal for producing guns and cannons. A production line for producing machine tools is just a cover-up.

Li Tiancheng, Yan Lisan and Tan Jianye were having a closed-door meeting in the office. Yan Lisan was temporarily summoned by Li Tiancheng and rushed over from Songjiang.

"The road protection movement broke out in Hunan and Sichuan, and now the British and American concessions in Shanghai are also in chaos. What do you two have any thoughts on these things?" Li Tiancheng said the serious matter straightforwardly.

Today is September 8, 1911. It was only one month before the Wuchang Uprising. The road protection movement in Sichuan and several southern provinces was still in full swing. The situation was in chaos. The Qing court was extremely anxious at this time, fearing that this situation would cause a nationwide riot. Their worries were not redundant. The facts proved that after the Wuchang Uprising, the whole country announced its independence from the Qing government. The new army that the Qing government tried hard to build became the main force for the uprisings in various provinces. Government officials and new army in many provinces announced their rebellion and pointed the finger at the Qing government.

"I think the situation will continue to be chaotic. The riots in several southern provinces may spread to other provinces. Previously, under the leadership of Sun Wen and Huang Xing, the revolutionaries launched many uprisings in Guangzhou and other places, but they were suppressed by the Qing court. This time they would not miss such a good opportunity and would take the opportunity to incite and launch a struggle to overthrow the Qing court. If the situation cannot stabilize in the short term, the revolutionary party in the south will definitely pop up. I wonder what you think?" Although Yan Lisan is only nineteen years old, after studying in the Zhenhua military class and several years of leadership experience in the militia, he has gradually matured. He has been very concerned about the current situation and politics, and now he can analyze it well.

"Li San is right. Our current militia has expanded several times. If the situation continues to be chaotic, we cannot sit idly by. A real man should stand up and do a grand career. We have so many people on hand. If we don't stand up at this time, wouldn't it be a joke for the world? My meaning is very clear. If the Qing court loses control of the situation, we will immediately rise up and respond to the rebel army in each province, stand opposite to the Qing government, so that the Qing government can do so.

He will fall into layers of siege of the rebels of various provinces, and is in danger. He is likely to be overthrown in one fell swoop in this great uprising." Tan Jianye was quite excited. Like Li Tiancheng, he had waited for a long time on this day. He had long hated the corrupt and incompetent Qing government, and could not hold back at this time. Especially in recent years, he discovered that Li Tiancheng had accumulated strong financial and material resources with extraordinary ability and secretly expanded a large number of militia soldiers. His intention to resist the Qing government became even stronger.

"The meaning of you two is exactly what I want. Howard Johnson (Tan Jianye's word), you did not join the revolutionary party, it was their loss. With the support of you, a firm revolutionary who is full of revolutionary thoughts, why worry about our big things!" Li Tiancheng suddenly slapped his thighs suddenly, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

"Although the riot in the Shanghai Concession has nothing to do with the current domestic situation, since it happened at the right time, we can make good use of it and do something about this matter." Li Tiancheng continued.

"Old Li means to take advantage of this concession riot to launch an action against the Qing government?" Yan Lisan immediately widened his eyes and said, "When he heard this, he looked at Li Tiancheng with his eyes wide open.
