Chapter 112 God-given opportunity!

In July, the Anqing Yangtze River embankment broke, and floods were ravaged by a hundred miles of the river, and the people were displaced one million people!

Anqing City and nearby counties became the first choice for refugees to escape. Some relatives defected to relatives, some friends hoped that friends could help find a way to survive, and there was nothing to pray for government relief and begging to keep their own way to survive. Suddenly, refugees in various counties were crowded, especially Anqing City.

The crazy influx of refugees has brought great hidden dangers to Anqing's governance. Bloody conflicts between local residents and refugees occur from time to time, and the atmosphere in the city is extremely tense. The patrolmen in Anqing City are still busy and still have no help. The prison cells of the patrol branch and the General Administration are full of refugees who are causing trouble, but the situation in the city is still turbulent.

The new governor Zhu Jiabao faced Ruici's severe situation, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and complained deeply about Yuan Shikai, who recommended him to come here. When it was not good to recommend him, but when the natural disaster came, he had not even had time to get familiar with Anqing's officialdom before he could even get familiar with him. It would be strange if he had no complaints in his heart.

However, the situation in the city did not allow him to hesitate. The emergency documents of the patrol battalion and the patrol battalion flew over like snowflakes. As a last resort, he hurriedly transferred a new army stationed outside the city to stabilize the situation. The arrival of the new army was indeed very powerful, and it stabilized the turbulent situation in the city at once. Zhu Jiabao understood that his helpless actions forced by the situation were likely to bring greater hidden dangers to An Qing and himself.

Like his predecessor who took the initiative to "resign and retire", he was very cautious about the new army.

Here, I have to talk about the retirement of the former governor Feng Xu. This incident caused a major earthquake in Anhui and even the entire Qing Dynasty officialdom, shattering glasses all over the floor.

Since Feng Xu, the new governor of Anhui, has been a regular and gentle person, and has been more tolerant of the revolutionary party and has rarely used strong people. As long as he does not cause any troubles that shock the government, he will never be full and full.

Because of this, although Wang Jin didn't like this old man, both sides were at peace. However, the result of his laissez-faire was tantamount to indulging the behavior of the revolutionary party, so he was often impeached by Qingliu and the censors.

Perhaps he could see the situation clearly, or perhaps he had long had no hope for the future of the Qing government, and for him the trend of revolution was irresistible, and the collapse of the Qing Dynasty was only a matter of time.

I don’t know why, or was awakened by the “Luo Revenge”. His rare self-reflection was mixed with feelings about his past actions, especially his feelings for the refugees who were harmed by him and Xu Xilin who was caught by himself and killed by torture.

In order to make a little better, he secretly built a Wanghua Building, which housed Xu Xilin's relics and clothes and swords. Feng Xu also wrote a couplet in the building: "The future is a disaster, and there are so many things to do about it; the heroes are not ignorant, and the bandits bow to their heads." To redeem the uneasiness in his heart, your Gu family opposes the crown and return to Jintan's hometown to retire.

The court's efficiency was not slow this time. Within seven days after he succeeded Feng Xu, the new governor Zhu Jiabao came to Anhui to take office.

Zhu Jiabao, whose courtesy name is Jingtian, was from Ningzhou Town, Huaning County. He was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1892). He was selected as an editor of the Hanlin Academy and was appointed as the priest of the Ministry of Rites. Later, he served as the magistrate of Pingxiang, Xincheng, and Nanhe. He was appreciated by the governor of Zhili Yuan Shikai, and was praised by Yuan as "the first in history of Kinki Xun" and was promoted to the magistrate of Baoding. He was sent to Japan for investigation of government affairs. After returning to China, he was promoted to the Censor of Jiangsu.

In the 32nd year of the Guangxu period (1906), Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, was recommended as governor of Jilin by Feng Xu, and was officially recommended as governor of Anhui by Yuan Shikai.

Opportunity, a god-given opportunity is in front of you!

Wang Jin was very excited and hurriedly summoned all the core members of the New Restoration Conference in Anqing to express his plans.

It was finally about to start. The comrades were so excited that their faces were blushing and ready to do a big move. They were still responsible for the specific affairs of the New Resurrection Association. Recently, Wang Siliang, who was busy arranging young and strong refugees, was calm and did not get lost by the sudden decision. He said that the New Resurrection Association currently lacked enough power and needed help from other revolutionary organizations. Otherwise, even if Anqing was conquered, he would definitely not be able to defend against the crazy counterattack of the imperial army!

The comrades gradually calmed down from their excitement when they heard this. Wang Siliang was right. The strength of the New Restoration Association is not enough to shoulder all the burdens on their shoulders. Subconsciously, they turned their eyes to the president who was smiling and seemed to be in a stable manner, hoping that he could have a solution.

Wang Jin nodded with satisfaction and laughed: "Haha, have you forgotten that Anqing City has another revolutionary force, and they have more convenient conditions and environments than us at this time!"

New Army!

The comrades immediately reacted and showed a sudden look. It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, how could they forget the new army? Indeed, as the president said, the new army currently has more convenient conditions and an environment for uprising than them. They are maintaining stability in the city at this time. As long as they operate it properly, it is an excellent opportunity to attack!

They immediately became excited again, as if Anqing City was already the one in the revolutionary party’s pocket...

"The president made a lot of sense, but the new army has not had much contact with us recently, and it also conflicts with their original plan. I am afraid that they will not change the plan!" Wang Siliang's mind was still calm and expressed the possible accident.

"It's impossible, such a good opportunity!" "Yes, the comrades in the Xinjun are not stupid." "..." Other comrades said that this situation was unlikely, thinking that Wang Siliang was too concerned.

Wang Jin nodded with satisfaction, and his face suddenly became serious: "So think about it, please contact the comrades of the Xinjun. I want to talk to Xiong Chengji in person!"

Wang Si nodded heavily...

After Wang Siyue's running around and contact, he successfully contacted the comrades arranged outside the New Army, conveying the matter of the President of the New Restoration Association's request to meet with Xiong Chengji, the leader of the Revolutionary Party of the New Army, and stressed that he hoped to get a reply as soon as possible, because the matter discussed this time was of great importance.

The comrades in the contact points of the New Army did not dare to neglect them, and hurried back to the New Army camp and reported the "request" of the New Restoration Association to the upper level of the organization.
