On the Kenya liner from the United States to Europe, this was the worst day on the Atlantic Ocean. The strong winds brought heavy waves and hit the deck of the liner, splashing around again in a blink of an eye. The raincoat on the mast was soaked, but it still stood on its post trembling. From time to time, I took out a wine pot, took a secret sip, cursed a few words about this ghost weather, and cursed myself why I wanted to be this damn seaman.

A thin middle-aged man lay flat in a second-class cabin bed, reading newspapers. He had deep eyes and soft faces of southern Chinese people. In some places, he was respected as Mr. Zhongshan, a pioneer of the revolution. In some places, his Sun Yat-sen's name was maliciously added with three points of water, which was equivalent to the kind of thief. In more places, he was regarded as an empty talker with a mouthful of carts and cannons, and would only launch one riot after another without minds but failed.

It was Sun Yat-sen, who had been handed over the post of the North Road Committee of the Hongmen Fundraising Bureau of the United States, and the chairman of the Tongmenghui. After hearing the news of the Wuchang Uprising in Denver, he hurriedly took a boat from the United States to Europe and then transferred from Europe to Hong Kong.

The cabin door was slammed open. Sun Yat-sen slowly turned his gaze from the newspaper and saw Zhu Zhuowen looking at him excitedly with a piece of paper. Zhu Zhuowen is Sun Yat-sen's cousin. He has followed Sun Yat-sen since Japan. This time he raised funds with him on the North American Road and returned to China together. He was over 20 years younger than Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yat-sen has always called him badboy.

Before Sun Yat-sen asked him, Zhu Zhuowen was almost shouting loudly: "The news I copied from the telegraph room just now is restored in Shanghai!"

Sun Yat-sen slowly sat up from the bed: "The two generals of Yingshi and Peace Book of the People are in charge of everything in Shanghai, and there is also Brother Hanmin in Hong Kong to take care of him. It was expected that Shanghai's liberation was restored...... We don't have to transfer ships from Hong Kong this time, but we will drive directly from Europe to Shanghai."

Zhu Zhuowen gave the paper to Sun Yat-sen and said in confusion: "The chief of the Shanghai Military Government is not Brother Yingshi and others?"

The two of them leaned closer and looked carefully. The yellow paper torn off the paper was scribbled with pencils on the paper. "Shanghairecovered on the night 27th Oct.1911, Themilitary government of Shanghai stunning. The Governorof military government: Chan Yu.

(Shanghai was restored on October 27, 1911, the Shanghai Military Government was established, and the military governor Yuchen)”

Who is this person? Sun Yat-sen searched all the memories in his mind and couldn't remember that there was such a comrade. Zhu Zhuowen said hesitantly: "Or it was the Qing Dynasty official anyway? Shanghai Road is not him..."

Sun Yat-sen thought about it again and suddenly laughed heartily. When he smiled, wrinkles piled upwards, looking like a child: "No matter who he is, it is always a good thing for Shanghai to recover. This means that besides our Tongmenghui, there are too many revolutionary comrades we don't know."

Looking at Zhu Zhuowen with a smile and jumping to tell the comrades in other cabins, Sun Yat-sen was tranced as he looked at the note. Shanghai was the most confident place for the Tongmenghui to rebellion, but now there is an unexpected situation. What impact will this have on the great cause of restoration?

The shock that the liberation of Shanghai brought to China was far more than this. In Wuchang, the Hubei Revolutionary Army, which was forced by the Qing army to retreat step by step, was announced by the Qing army. In Hunan, Yunnan, Changsha and Kunming, which had been revived, were emitting news about the liberation of Shanghai. In Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Shanxi, provinces that were brewing uprisings were brewing in Shanxi, and the three southeastern giants of the Qing Dynasty were looking at the huge threats that appeared in the southeast with worry. Along the Yangtze River, the news of the liberation of Shanghai had spread all over the world. Even in Sichuan, where the comrades were still fighting hard, the brothers in Xiangchangbazi set up a dragon gate formation in the teahouse, shouting loudly: "The rebellion of Shanghai has been successful, I want to see, Zhao Erfeng will end!"

In the north, the Forbidden City was in turmoil. Empress Dowager Longyu just hugged Emperor Xuantong all day long. The Han Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue were all empty-handed, and the wealth of the Southeast Jieyun had been cut off. They simply said they were sick and not going to work in the Ministry. Yuan Shikai's son Yuan Kedingwang was more and more diligent in his cell locked in Wang Jingwei, and the two even paid homage. Only a group of Manchu relatives from the Zongshe Party were still shouting to immediately mobilize the fifth town of Beiyang in Zhang Huaizhi, Shandong to quell the rebellion in Shanghai. Unfortunately, there were not many people paying attention to them. The staff clerks of the Military Advisory Office asked for leave and went south, either to Hubei or Shanghai. The Military Advisory Office also paid them as usual.

The Qing Dynasty could not even be shaky, and it was almost waiting to take its last breath.

Yuchen at the center of the storm was not as conscious as having become a nationally famous figure. He was not only working in the Manufacturing Bureau for three or two hours every day, but also rushing to the training ground in Wusong. He worked hard to train his Chinese Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army. His vision always looked north to Nanjing.

In these ten days, the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army had been greatly enriched. Chen Sanye and his friends brought back more than 1,500 scattered soldiers from the 9th Town from Zhenjiang, and more than 3,000 recruits were recruited in Shanghai, mainly refugees and young students from northern Jiangsu. More than 200 officers came to join the country. The two regiments of the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army have been fully integrated. Lu Fengqiao's teaching battalion has also been expanded into a teaching regiment. With the newly established artillery battalion, the entire army has more than 7,000 people and very complete equipment. Because there are many veterans and the enthusiasm of the new recruits is high, although there is generally a lack of training, it is already very useful. It turned out that the Shanghai Yangtze River Fleet of the Qing Dynasty was also adapted into the Yangtze River Fleet directly under the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army. In addition to the sixteen or seventeen gunboat transport ships, a marine battalion was also organized.

In addition, there are two patrol detachments in Shanghai that are part of the Su-Shanghai Revolutionary Army, each with more than 800 people. They are responsible for the city's security maintenance.

Speaking of financial resources, Shanghai is already very rich, and Yuchen is quite stingy when connecting with Zhenjiang Road, Hubei. He extorted 1.9 million taels of silver from the Qing Dynasty Bank, and obtained 1.5 million taels of silver from the Manufacturing Bureau, Guandao, Mint, and Tongyuan Bureau. In the other ten days, he also raised 3 million yuan in military pay. In addition to allocating 3 million taels of silver to establish the Liberation Bank, he still had more than 3.7 million yuan in reserves.

He helped Hubei 100,000 yuan and Zhenjiang 50,000 yuan. The daily expenses of only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan were enough. If he didn't care about civil affairs and just supported his own army, he wouldn't even need 10,000 yuan that day. But Yuchen still cried all day long, and his eyes were bright and he could see where he could still grow.

The people in Shanghai have already reached a high point, and people petitioned to organize a suicide squad in the Northern Expedition every day. Within the Shanghai Military Government and the Advisory Bureau, there are also voices asking Yuchen why he has 10,000 elite soldiers, so why is he staying in Shanghai without any action? There are also great enemies like Zhang Xun and Tieliang in Nanjing. How can he watch them entrenched on the key points of the Yangtze River?
