Chapter 56 Alliance

The person who came was a middle-aged man, who was in his forties. He was short, thin, dark skin, and a peasant outfit, and looked more rural. His small eyes were looking around, but the sentry a few hundred meters away did not notice his existence.

Seeing that there was no one around, the man quickly approached the wall. Then he found a broken hole near the hole, picked up a thick branch on the ground and began to poke it up in the hole inside the wall. Soon the dust and gravel in the hole were removed, and you could see the scene inside the barracks through the hole.

The man approached one eye close to the hole that was only two inches in size and began to carefully look at the situation in the barracks.

"Hurry up, the company commander ordered us to complete all preparations before midnight. After midnight, we will take action. You two are still procrastinating, so I will work harder!" The squad leader of the kitchen squad was getting angry at the two soldiers who were idle and smoking, and ordered them to participate in the transport team. The two soldiers immediately pinched off the cigarette butts in their hands, laughed a few times, then ran to a carriage and went to help.

"It seems that the Li family army is about to attack Shanghai. This is important information. I brought such important information back, but I am afraid that I will not get the reward. I can go shopping in the kiln again tomorrow, hehe." After hearing the words of the cook squad leader and observing the busy actions of the soldiers in the barracks, the man immediately judged that the barracks were about to leave the garrison and set off. So he said in his heart that he was surprised, with a comfortable smile on his face.

"Who is lying sneakily on the wall and doing what?" The man was carefully scanning the wall, but unexpectedly, a soldier had approached quietly behind him, and a sudden shout rang behind his head.

The man was shocked when he heard the sound, and his body shook suddenly, knowing that his whereabouts had been revealed. However, with his years of experience in intelligence work, he immediately calmed down and forced himself to suppress the nervous expression on his face, and then slowly turned around and faced the person who came.

The man pretended to be calm and looked at him and found that the person who came was a 17 or 18-year-old recruit, holding a strange gun with a scope in his hand, pointing at his chest and glaring at him.

"You are a spy, are you lying on the wall to peek at?" The soldier guessed that this person was from unknown origin and must be not a good bird. He immediately asked again.

"Brother Bing, I came here with firewood. It was your squad leader who asked me to send firewood to the vicinity of the barracks. This was my first time here, so I didn't find the gate and got lost. I had to go in at the hole in this wall to see how to get in. Don't misunderstand." The man's face flashed with a cunning look, and he immediately weaved a lie.

"Transporting firewood, our firewood is sent to transport it by ourselves. How could you take it to the gate of the barracks? Do you still want to argue?" Although the soldier has only been in the army for half a year, he has also received some anti-reconnaissance training. He knew that no idle people were allowed to approach the barracks near the barracks, so he immediately refuted.

"Brother Bing, it was your squad leader who told me that today is a special situation. You all are busy in the barracks and have no time to get firewood by themselves, so I must send it to the barracks temporarily. Don't delay it. If you miss the opportunity to fight, I dare not hide it from me. If you don't believe it, you can ask your squad leader." The man continued to lie, trying to deceive this young soldier who was inexperienced.

"Squad leader, you are here, I'm so unfair. Explain it for me!" Then the man suddenly grinned and reached out to the back of the soldier and greeted him. It seemed that there was someone behind the soldier.

When the soldier heard the sound, he believed it and turned his head to look at it, but found that there was no figure behind him. After a flash of expression, he immediately realized that he had been deceived, so he quickly turned around.

However, after a light sound, the soldier was slashed by a powerful palm on his neck. The soldier's eyes suddenly became dark. The gun in his hand fell off and then fell on the grass. It was the man who suddenly took a step forward, waved his palm and slashed it hard, knocking him out, and his movements were quick and agile. This was the skill learned when training in espionage work.

The man ignored the soldiers and the guns on the ground. After a few glances, he immediately ran away. With the cover of the grass, he moved forward quickly and gradually disappeared into the night.

The man did not stop and immediately ran to a small road several hundred meters east of the barracks. There was a tall horse in the woods next to the road. It was exactly what the man left here. The man quickly untied the reins tied to the trunk of the tree, then got up and left quickly, and followed the path to the city of Nanshi, Shanghai.

About half an hour later, after entering the city, the man turned a few bends and rushed all the way to a narrow street in Nanshi. This is a street facing east and west, located in the middle section of Huaihai Middle Road, Shanghai in the back market. The man looked around and found that nothing was abnormal on the street, and then stopped at the entrance of a mansion.

Then the man flew off the horse, walked to the quaint brown wooden door, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door. The man knocked on the door in a very regular manner. He stopped for three seconds every two knocks, and knocked again, and knocked on the door eight times in total.

"Old He, it's you. Why did you come here directly? No one is targeting me? Come in quickly!" A bald young man in his early twenties opened the door and saw the person coming through the crack of the door. He was suddenly surprised, and then he immediately poked his head out and said.

"Military information is urgent, I can't do anything about it either." Lao He responded softly.

The bald young man didn't say anything, then let the man enter the door, looked around at the door, then entered the door, closed the door, took the man into the inner room and went upstairs along the stairs.

"Lao He, you are here, what news can you get?" Lao He quickly went to the meeting hall on the second floor of the mansion. A man in his early thirties stood at the door waiting for him. The man had just lifted the curtains and saw Lao He entering the mansion through the window. He was so familiar with this knock. This is the standard knocking sound used by some members of the Tongmenghui Shanghai Central Committee. He stopped for three seconds every two knocks, and then continued to knock until eight times. If no one responded, continue to knock again. If no one responded, leave immediately and cannot stay.

"Mr. Chen, I have received important information. The Li family army has taken important actions tonight. There are abnormal movements everywhere in their barracks. The number of soldiers patrols has increased significantly. Warehouses are urgently transporting weapons, ammunition and other supplies. Several teams of people dressed up have left the garrison and entered the city of Shanghai. In the evening, a barracks' cooks have begun to carry stoves, cookware and other debris. They must be out of the camp tonight and will switch to the camp." The man said angrily.

The man surnamed Chen, standing in front of the man, looks fair-skinned and well-maintained. He wears a pair of black-framed glasses and combed his hair smoothly. He looks gentle and elegant, and his words and deeds are appropriate. He looks like an intellectual with culture at first glance.

This person is Chen Qimei, one of the leaders of the Shanghai Central Committee of the Tongmenghui. He was the Minister of Common Affairs of the Branch at that time and was responsible for promoting revolutionary activities in the Yangtze River Basin. He was Sun Yat-sen's close revolutionary comrade-in-arms. He was 33 years old this year. He studied in Japan with Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek and studied in Japan.

The bald young man who brought Lao He into the mansion just now was the famous Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek, who was very popular during the Republic of China during the Republic of China. However, he was only twenty-four years old at this time, but he was just a staff member under Chen Qimei. His name had not changed yet, and he was still called Jiang Zhiqing. He was also Chen Qimei's brother. The two had a relationship and were both teachers and friends. Chiang Kai-shek regarded Chen Qimei as his teacher and as a good friend and good brother.

In history, Chiang Kai-shek went to Shanghai to cooperate with Chen Qimei in launching the uprising after the Wuchang Uprising. At that time, he was the leader of the Fifth Regiment of the Shanghai Army. However, this time, Li Tiancheng sent troops to southern Jiangsu in advance, which made him recalled by Chen Qimei in advance, helping him formulate the next countermeasures to implement the next step.

Jiang Zhiqing, who was flashing in his eyes with a complex spirit, suddenly his expression tensed a little when he heard Lao He's words. He turned to look at the gentle Chen Qimei to see what he reacted.

"How is it? Is Li Tiancheng going to take action?" At this time, another man appeared behind the three of them. The man had a black and white beard, a round face, a sharp and energetic gaze, and was about fifty years old.

The person who came was Tan Renfeng, one of the other leaders of the Tongmenghui, who was responsible for the party affairs and military liaison work of the Shanghai Branch of the Tongmenghui.

"Old He, the information you provide is very important. This is a ten-yuan ocean, which is an additional reward for your mission this time. In addition, your bonus for this month will be distributed as usual. You can go back and rest first!" Chen Qimei then took out ten silver dollars from her pocket and handed them to Lao He and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. If it weren't for the urgent matter this time, I wouldn't have contacted you directly at the mansion. I'm afraid of wasting time. Please forgive me!" When Lao He saw the white silver dollars, he immediately grinned, stared at the silver dollars in Chen Qimei's hand, and was still explaining.

"I know, this time it is urgent. I don't blame you. Don't do this in the future. It's easy to be targeted. You can only contact the person you contact and then ask them to transfer information in case of an accident." Chen Qimei knew that Lao He did this inappropriately, but she did not blame him and said in a calm tone.
