Li Tiancheng then received an urgent telegram from Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing. Sun Yat-sen asked him to treat Chen Qimei, Tan Renfeng, Chiang Kai-shek and others of the revolutionary party well, and declared that the revolutionary party was not hostile to the Shanghai military government, praised the political program and the policy of safeguarding the people just issued by the military government, and expressed his respect for the righteous act of the Zhenguo Army to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, it clarified some misunderstandings between the revolutionaries and the Li family army before, and showed that the Tongmenghui and the DPP were both forces representing the progressive ideas of China, and that the two sides should cooperate more than differences. Then they analyzed the current situation, and in short, they released a certain kindness to the Shanghai military government to reduce hostility.

At this time, Sun Yat-sen was still in the United States and would return to Shanghai only after the Revolution of 1911. Huang Xing established a coordination department in Hong Kong and was planning the Wuchang Uprising. He was probably going to sneak back to the mainland soon.

Finally, Sun Yat-sen asked Li Tiancheng to send Chen Qimei and others to Hangzhou in the telegram. Li Tiancheng called back to express his admiration for Sun Wen and Huang Xing's revolutionary spirit, and also stated that the Democratic Party would not be enemies of the Tongmenghui. As for sending Chen Qimei and others to Shanghai, Li Tiancheng refused to be busy with affairs and immediately handled it after handling several major matters. However, Li Tiancheng did not plan to send these outstanding Tongmenghui elements to Hangzhou. He planned to send them to Guangzhou in the future, it would be better to stay away from him. Once these people started to make trouble, they might not be able to withstand it.

At this time, Ma Chaoyun was leading more than 8,000 people from two brigades to advance towards Jiaxing. The number of defenders in Jiaxing was about the same. Because they were worried that the other party would destroy the railway line, the troops did not take the train and walked south. After less than a day's trip, they arrived at the north of Jiaxing City and began to camp outside the range of artillery fire in the city, confronting the Qing army.

The cities of this period all had historically left behind the city walls, that is, city walls. Generally, the city walls were very thick, but for the siege troops in the cold weapon era, the role of the city walls was obviously greatly reduced for modern armies with cannons, so that after the Republic of China, most cities destroyed the city walls. At this time, the city walls of Jiaxing did not play much role in Ma Chaoyun.

Li Tiancheng ordered Ma Chaoyun not to launch an attack easily, because after receiving the telegram from Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, things had a big turnaround. At least the revolutionaries in the new army would sell Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing's face. Sun Yat-sen mentioned in the telegram that he would urge revolutionaries from all over the country to try not to conflict with the Zhenguo Army.

Chen Junsheng, who was far away in Hangzhou, soon received a telegram from Li Tiancheng. When he learned the news of Sun Yat-sen's call, he was overjoyed. It would be much more convenient for him to carry out his work in Hangzhou. At this time, the revolutionary party was still hostile to the Zhenguo Army. He did not dare to contact the revolutionaries on his own initiative. He only contacted Tang Shouqian, a celebrity in the Zhejiang military and political circles, and visited him. He explained the policy of the Zhenguo Army to unite all revolutionary forces, hoping to get support from people from all walks of life in other provinces. However, Tang Shouqian did not make any statement, but said that he was not convenient to speak for the time being. Thanks to the military government's trust, and advised Chen Junsheng to leave Hangzhou to avoid any change. Chen Junsheng's communication work was temporarily hindered, but he did not complete the task and decided that no matter how much risk he took, he could not leave.

The local advisory bureau in the late Qing Dynasty was established in various provinces after 1907. Although it is similar to local councils abroad, it is not a power organization, but just a place of consultation for "a place to adopt public opinion", "referring to the pros and cons of Chen Tong Province", "preparing for local public security", and "storing materials for the Principal Yuan". Such an institution does not pose a threat to the autocratic centralization of the Qing Dynasty, and can win public opinion and decorate the storefront.

After 1908, the Qing government increased its efforts to local autonomy, and the power of local advisory bureaus began to be reflected, but local governors had the right to refuse to implement the resolutions passed by the Advisory Bureau. This was different from the West and did not achieve true democracy. Despite this, the Advisory Bureau still played a certain historical role. During the implementation period, various places passed some substantive resolutions, including national sovereignty, national economy and people's livelihood, finance, local governance, etc., implemented many policies to benefit the people, impeach and punish a group of corrupt officials, etc.

Since Li Tiancheng's uprising, the revolutionary party has not been idle. In a villa on the south bank of West Lake, Hangzhou, several revolutionaries were discussing fiercely.

This villa is called "Baiyun'an". It is located next to a lakeside park by the West Lake. It is built next to the water. The surrounding environment is very quiet and there are no people walking on it. It is still far from the main road and is a very hidden place.

There were two young men watching at the door of the villa in case someone approached and eavesdropped. In a room with closed curtains on the second floor, there were more than a dozen men between the ages of twenty and fifty. These people were officers in the Zhejiang New Army, all revolutionaries or people with revolutionary ideas. The participants included: Tong Baoxuan, Lu Gongwang, Ge Jingen, Wu Siyu, Zhu Rui, Gu Naibin, etc.

Several of them had just been transferred from Hangzhou to Jiaxing for missions, preparing to go north to attack the Kuomintang army, but at this time they secretly sneaked back to Hangzhou to hold this emergency meeting.

"Everyone, the situation is now very urgent. The Zhenguo Army has opened up the situation in Shanghai. It is indeed a good thing for overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, but it is also a very bad thing for the Tongmenghui. Because we have been preparing for a revolutionary uprising for many years and have experienced more than a dozen failures, this time Li Tiancheng has made great success. This will make the Chinese people doubt the organizational ability of our Tongmenghui. They will ask why the Tongmenghui has not been completed for so many years. A young man who is only 23 years old succeeded in one go. The answer is yes. The Tongmenghui has poor service skills and is not as good as a young man. So you should understand how important our next mission is. Otherwise, we will end up being mediocre and abandoned by history." Lu Gongwang, with a national face, said righteously and righteously. He was 32 years old this year and was the supervisor of the Second Battalion of the 82nd tier.

Several people were wearing casual clothes and not military uniforms. There were several plates of fruits and pastries in the house. Three people were holding imported cigarettes and sucking mist. Their expressions were slightly solemn.

"I agree with the meaning of Dai Zhi (Lu Gongwang's word) and we mobilized the masses. In the new army, we have been spreading the party members for so many years, and our efforts cannot be wasted. A newly established CPPCC suddenly emerged and competed for the fruits of the revolution with our Tongmenghui. I dare say that if it weren't for the solid foundation we laid in the past ten years, Li Tiancheng could have occupied Shanghai and southern Jiangsu so smoothly, he would have taken advantage of our revolution. We must not sit idly by. At this time, it was a good opportunity for the uprising. Taking advantage of the Zhenguo Army that Zhenguo Army had not yet gone south, we launched the uprising directly in Zhejiang. After winning, we would then lead the southwest to attack Jiangxi and Hunan. In this way, the Zhenguo Army would not go south.

The expanded land was now, and there were Qing soldiers guarding the north. Li Tiancheng could only occupy Shanghai, a small land in southern Jiangsu, and it was inevitable that he would be able to avoid the fate of being wiped out by the Qing court. At that time, we can stand by and use the Qing soldiers in the north to kill Li Tiancheng invisibly. The so-called river clam fight, fishermen gained profits. When the Qing soldiers in the north were tired, we would then rush the northern expedition to capture Beijing. In this way, the whole country would be under the control of the Tongmenghui, and the revolutionary cause would be successful." Zhu Rui, who was so handsome, was a scholarly and angry, spit out a round smoke ring from his mouth, and gently flicked the head of the cigarette butt with his fingers, and a few traces of smoke and ash were blown off. Then he said that he was the commander of the 81st yard of the Zhejiang New Army, equivalent to the regiment commander.

"About the Qing government sent us north to fight the Zhenguo army this time, I would like to talk about my own views. I heard that Li Tiancheng's factory has the ability to generate new long-range large-caliber artillery. The Zhenguo army's artillery strength is quite strong, so Zeng Shanbao's 6,000 talents were wiped out in a short time. If we take the initiative to attack the Zhenguo army, the opponent's fierce defensive artillery fire will cause major casualties. Therefore, once we fight with the Zhenguo army, regardless of the victory or defeat, the strength of the Zhejiang New Army will be greatly reduced. The New Army is the basis of revolutionary force we rely on. Instead of fighting to the death in Shanghai, it is better to send an uprising in Zhejiang." Ge Jingen, who was only 22 years old, added.

"After counting, the war between the new army in Zhejiang is inevitable, but the targets of the battle are different. Either choose to support the Qing government and go to war with the Zhenguo army, or revolt in Hangzhou. There are only these two roads to choose. There is probably no hope for people to calm down." Tong Baoxuan, the deacon of the military police battalion in the 21st town of the recruits, also expressed his own opinion. The military police are the police force of the army and are the ones who manage the army, so they have a higher position in the army.

Several others then made fierce statements expressing their support for the uprising. Except for Gu Naibin who was conservative, everyone else tended to revolt.

"Gu Naibin, do you have a statement too?" Tong Baoxuan saw that Gu Naibin, who was only in charge of the 82nd Batch Camp, did not speak much, and immediately turned his head to look at him and asked.

"Since everyone has decided to revolt, I don't object. Then I will leave the matter of leading troops to attack the government office." Gu Naibin finally decided to make a decision after everyone's fierce encouragement and immediately made a statement.

"Okay, now we will start raising our hands to vote. Those who agree to the uprising will raise their hands!" Tong Baoxuan immediately slapped his thighs and looked around everyone and said.

A dozen people, without exception, raised their hands, their eyes filled with enthusiasm for revolution and were filled with enthusiasm.
