Chapter 69 Meeting in the Chamber of Secrets

"This is Mr. Chen Junsheng sent by the Shanghai Military Government. Hello, I am Tong Baoxuan mentioned in the message of Mr. Wang. Please give me some advice!" Tong Baoxuan is a little older than Chen Junsheng, but he is only twenty-five years old. The young people are not restrained when they meet. They smiled and stretched out their hands to politely.

"Good luck! It turns out that he is the famous deacon of the New Army Gendarmerie. He is not talented. This time he came to cause trouble for you. Please forgive me!" Chen Junsheng reached out his hand enthusiastically and shook hands with Chen Junsheng.

Then Tong Baoxuan introduced Ge Jingen and Lu Gongwang to Chen Junsheng and Han Xiaoming in turn. Both sides were polite. The clothes they wore were still long jackets from the Qing Dynasty, and there were long braids on their heads. Chen Junsheng and Han Xiaoming were wearing exquisite suits, leather shoes, short hair, and both of them wore fashionable baseball caps. In comparison, Tong Baoxuan and others looked a bit rustic.

Both sides joked about the clothes issue, then exchanged greetings and sat down to the topic.

"I won't say more about gossip. Time is urgent. Mr. Sun Wen also mentioned it in the telegram about the proposal of the Gui army to cooperate with the revolutionaries. I wonder if there is any good proposal for the Gui army, so I might as well speak it out and listen to it?" Tong Baoxuan wanted to test the plans of the Zhenguo Army first, so he asked in a precise manner. Ge Jingen and Lu Gongwang sat aside and remained silent. They did not want to speak more. This was agreed with them in advance. After Tong Baoxuan asked for a question and test, the two of them would speak again.

"I came on behalf of Mr. Li Tiancheng, Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of the People's Political Consultative Party and Chairman of the Military Commission of the State Army, to discuss cooperation matters with important personnel from various military and political circles in Zhejiang; Mr. Li Tiancheng authorized me to make decisions on certain non-principle issues, so what I said also represents Mr. Li. This time I am here to discuss cooperation matters with all the new army generals with great sincerity. The purpose of our party is the same as that of the revolutionary party. It is to liberate the Qing people's enslavement under the corrupt and incompetent Qing government through armed revolution, establish a new democratic country in China, and truly realize the democratic regime where the people are masters of their own country. Of course, at this stage, the Shanghai military government is in the military and political period, which is difficult to do, but we are definitely sincere after the victory of the national revolution.

Letting the people truly participate in political life and fully enjoy the benefits of democracy is consistent with the purpose of the Tongmenghui. Therefore, Mr. Li believes that the two factions have a foundation of extensive cooperation and common ideas and ideas, which are progressive forces to seek welfare for the ordinary Chinese people. Combining with each other to create a better tomorrow will be a win-win move, and it is a rare and valuable event for your association and our party.” Chen Junsheng then began to talk about the purpose of his trip. Since Li Tiancheng instructed him in advance to express his sincerity and openly and openly, he would not need to use any scheming to make the revolutionaries relax their guards, so Chen Junsheng said straight to the point.

"Mr. Li means that the Zhenguo Army hopes to get the cooperation of the Zhejiang New Army, launch military operations against the Qing government in Zhejiang, go south to capture the Hangzhou Governor's Office, and then control the entire Zhejiang. If the cooperation of the army is not obtained, this operation will be greatly reduced to a large extent. If the army is an enemy of our army, the operation will be seriously blocked. Therefore, Mr. Li believes that striving for cooperation with the army is a key move, and hopes that your army can provide this convenience. I know that you are all revolutionaries who hope that the Qing government will collapse, and there is no need to obey the Qing court, and conduct troops in Jiaxing, and block our army's route to Hangzhou." Chen Junsheng paused slightly, and then said openly.

When Tong Baoxuan and the other three heard this, they looked at each other with complex expressions. It sounded like the other party wanted to seize the land of Zhejiang, thinking that what good would this be for the new army? Then Tong Baoxuan asked again: "Your army's plan is indeed very grand. It is not satisfied with the two places of Southern Jiangsu and Shanghai. If you are so anxious to go south to attack Zhejiang, the front line is too long, and it may not work in military terms. There are Qing soldiers and soldiers outside Changzhou City in the north. Are you not afraid of losing the land of Southern Jiangsu that you have obtained?"

"Our army was naturally prepared for this. Our army's greatest advantage over the Qing soldiers is that the medium and long-range artillery fire is several times that of the Qing soldiers. Our army's artillery fire range is mostly more than twenty kilometers, and there are still artillery with a range of more than thirty kilometers. Our arsenal is working at full capacity, working overtime, and reserves weapons and equipment and various strategic materials. Our logistics support is very abundant. Although the number of Qing soldiers reaches 20,000, it is difficult to surpass the positions set by our army. As long as our army cannot stand, they cannot do anything to us. Over time, they will become irritable and physically and mentally exhausted. At that time, our army will send elite troops to take the initiative under the cover of artillery fire, and take the initiative to attack. We will definitely be able to retreat the Qing soldiers and let them retreat to Nanjing."

"So in military affairs, our army has made full preparations. Our army has actually more than 10,000 troops in southern Jiangsu, and it is more than enough to prevent the Qing army. You don't have to worry about the situation of our army. The first division of our army south also has 8,000 troops. Now there are currently squads in Jiaxing. We will launch a large-scale attack soon. I hope that all generals can go smoothly and help our army with their strength. The day to overthrow the Qing court will come soon. If your army is hesitant, or even prevent our army from moving south, it will become the biggest obstacle to overthrow the Qing court and also become an accomplice of the Qing government to stifle the revolution. I think this is not in line with the will of the revolutionaries. You should weigh the pros and cons as soon as possible, reach a cooperation intention with our army, and then we will unite strongly and overthrow the rule of the Zhejiang Governor's Office in one fell swoop. The next plan will be even more grand."

"Mr. Li pointed out that if we can successfully cooperate, then we will soon be able to run troops to the southwest, northwest, and enter the land of Jiangxi and Anhui, and burn the war to the surrounding provinces in one fell swoop. In this way, the Qing court will inevitably be in chaos, and the anti-Qing forces in other places will inevitably cooperate, and the whole country will inevitably become chaotic. At that time, the Qing court will be overthrown in one fell swoop, and the ideal of revolution will be realized. All this may be achieved in just one or two months. This is also what Mr. Li specifically emphasized. The Qing court has been exhausted. As long as we work together to arouse the passion of the anti-Qing forces across the country, the Qing Dynasty will soon be buried in the dust of history." Chen Junsheng continued to talk nonstop, and explained to the three people that he said that the Qing court would fall within one or two months, of course, it was pointed out by Li Tiancheng.

"Just, it's probably too much to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in one or two months. You Mr. Li is probably too much of a joke. Do you know that Mr. Sun Wen planned an uprising in Guangzhou fifteen years ago. After that, the revolutionaries of various provinces tried many uprisings, but all failed. Although the army captured southern Jiangsu and Shanghai in a few days, they did not see the rise of the national turmoil that Mr. Li said. The army probably overestimated its ability. Even if the new Zhejiang army joined forces with the new army to obtain the land of Zhejiang, we were still surrounded by the Qing court. It is still difficult to say whether the fish will die or the net will be broken. Don't be too high about the revolutionary situation in the country." At this time, Ge Jingen, who was sitting beside him, suddenly raised his lips and sneered disdainfully when he heard this, and then Chen Junsheng analyzed.

What Ge Jingen said is not without reason. If Li Tiancheng hadn't known about the fact that the Wuchang Uprising had been responding to the fact that the provinces had responded to the independence, it would have been difficult for him to estimate what the situation would be after the uprising. Maybe several provinces would respond, maybe no one would respond at all, or maybe they would be suppressed by the Qing soldiers soon. Moreover, since Li Tiancheng started a military rebellion, there has not been a situation of national coordination like the Wuchang Uprising, which caused Li Tiancheng's situation to be linked together in the future. So Li Tiancheng was not sure whether the provinces would be in the future.

They cooperated with the uprising, especially the emergence of the People's Political Consultative Party. There was no strong power and mass base in the country, and it was not as crowded as the Tongmenghui. At present, there was no sign of a response. Therefore, Li Tiancheng also sighed that perhaps his arrival could not change the historical role of the Wuchang Uprising. Maybe the chaotic situation in the country would not appear until the Wuchang Uprising broke out. At this time, there was still 28 days left before the Wuchang Uprising time.

Li Tiancheng had no choice but to win more support during this period of time and expand his sphere of influence. When the Wuchang Uprising broke out, the south would become the world of the Tongmenghui, and it would be difficult for him to get a share of the pie.

"Decades ago, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom caused a lot of controversy and captured a large area of ​​land in the south, but was eventually defeated by the Hunan Army. Mr. Li compared himself to Hong Xiuquan. You only raised your army for three days and talked shamelessly about capturing the whole country. I am afraid no one would believe such a big talk. Why should we Tongmenghui believe it?" Lu Gongwang did not agree with Chen Junsheng's words and immediately refuted.
