Chapter 204 Independence, Independence

Many people are excited about the kindness expressed by the United States and the beautiful words they say, but Chen Wenqiang is thinking about it in his heart.

Yes, the United States should be a country worthy of winning and relying on, but imperialism is imperialism. When it is not strong, it may shout moving slogans. When it is strong, it should have another face. Interests are the first between countries, and morality and axioms are just fig leafs on the surface.

To be versatile and versatile, we must also have principles. China must be independent and must not let others control their lifeline. Attracting foreign investment is one thing, and supervision and self-protection are even more indispensable.

"I am planning to meet with the US and German ministers in the near future." Chen Wenqiang said: "I hope the US and Germany can persuade and mediate and make other powers neutral. What I am most worried about is that Japan and Russia will take the opportunity to interfere or make small moves in the Northeast."

"Japan should support the Chinese revolution, right?" Li Xiehe suddenly said.

Chen Wenqiang was slightly stunned and immediately became alert. There were many students studying in Japan in the revolutionary team, and they had a good impression of Japan. It was not until Japan proposed the "Twenty-One" that they truly realized that Japan had the intention to destroy China. Even so, there were still a large number of pro-Japanese factions.

China and Japan will sooner or later have a war. Asia can only have one overlord. Japan is rising with the blood of China. Similarly, China's revival must step on the corpse of Japan to take over. Prepare for the future. Now we must eliminate the idea of ​​pro-Japanese pro-Japanese so that everyone can be vigilant enough to be vigilant about this seemingly friendly evil wolf and should not be lucky. After all, the threat from the United States is still far away, but Japan is right in front of us.

The Shanghai Head Office of the Qing Bank issued an announcement, announcing its ties with the Qing court and officially renamed Bank of China. Subsequently, the joint venture bank announced a strategic partnership with Bank of China and provided guarantees for Bank of China's five million liberation bonds and underwritten two million of them.

This is another big news with a sensational effect, which means that the Guangzhou military government has its own financing channels, strong economic backing, and has received the support of most wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Once this weather vane is established, more people who are still waiting and watching should make a choice.

Several gunboats anchored on the river downstream of the Jinjipo Fortress, and the dragon flags on the mast fluttered softly in the wind.

The situation was too fast. After Wuchang was restored, Jiujiang, the closest one, was the first to respond. The Jiujiang Merchants persuaded Chen Tingxun, the 53rd Biaobiao, to launch an uprising. The guards of the Dao Office in Jiujiang City ignited the fire to respond. Seeing the city gate open, Baoheng hurriedly hid in the concession to escape, and then fled to Shanghai. At midnight, the revolutionary army surrounded the Jiujiang Prefecture Office, and the Jiujiang Prefect Puliang was captured.

Jiujiang was restored, and the Jinjipo Fort fell into the hands of the revolutionary army. It posed a threat to the Beiyang fleet that was ordered to attack. The navy was alone and dared not act independently. Now, the navy stationed in Shanghai has brought them a blow, and the various ships and leaders are talking, and the morale of the army is no longer stable.

After receiving Brother Nai's letter, Tang Xiangming's heart was shaken, but the situation was not clear yet, so he stopped the ship and waited for the times. But now, he knew it was time to raise the flag and change the flag.

Since the Boxer Emperor, the court has been in a slump and people's hearts have gradually changed. Most of the officers in the navy have stayed abroad and seen the world. Moreover, the ships "Chu" he led now have been stationed in Wuhan for many years. Many of the crew members are from Hubei, and the morale of the military is most easily shaken. Now the situation is getting worse and worse. Shanghai, Jiujiang and Wuchang are all in the hands of the revolutionary army, and the supply of grain and coal in the fleet is in danger of interruption. In addition, the increasingly strong momentum of development shown by the revolutionary army, the ships and the ships want to leave more ways of retreat and are determined not to take risks.

"The court is unjust in vain, and the Manchu relatives and nobles are all incompetent people, and they have suffered today's disaster." Tang Xiangming shook his head gently and threw the latest newspaper on the table.

Just as he was fighting for the last ideological struggle, there was a sudden noise outside. Tang Xiangming was already upset and was furious. He got up and opened the cabin door, shouting: "What are you shouting and screaming? Have you forgotten the military regulations?"

"Sir, I am about to call you!" An officer hurriedly took two steps and pointed an airship into the air."

Tang Xiangming raised his head in confusion and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

The sky was bright blue, with only a few light clouds like gauze sticking flat in the air. One big, two small and three airships were slowly coming along the river. The sailors on the ship had never seen this thing before, so they pointed and shouted in surprise.

Tang Xiangming blinked his eyes blankly, turned around and ran to the cabin, then ran out again, with a telescope in his hand, and raised his head to watch carefully.

The beautiful lines, huge sizes, and the unique "buzzing" sound of the large horsepower motive pushes the airship to cut through the sky and attracts all the attention. Under the big airship is a huge six-star flag, and two small airships are hung with the banner and slogan "The Qing Dynasty will perish".

"The airship of the Revolutionary Army?" Tang Xiangming incredibly moved the telescope upward, and on the white airship with the eye-catching red letter "China" was printed on the spindle-shaped rugby-shaped white airship.

Tang Xiangming held the telescope in one hand and scratched his head with the other hand. He suddenly put down the telescope and exclaimed, "I remember it, I remember it. Two months ago, many newspapers published news that the test flight of the airship "China" designed and manufactured by the Chinese people successfully flew, as if it was from Hong Kong, and the guy named Xie."

That's right, Xie Zhangtai, a famous designer and maker of Chinese airships, did not sink into the vast history because of the ignorance of the Qing court, lack of funds, and no one paid attention to it. Due to Chen Wenqiang's keen eyes and great investment, the airships jointly made by Xie Zhangtai and German technicians have become more advanced, and finally ushered in a glorious moment and appeared on the battlefield of the rejuvenation of the motherland.

Undoubtedly, this demonstration and show-style flight caused a huge sensation. Under the intentional organization of the Hubei Military Government and Hunan Military Government, the audience was crowded with people. China soared into the new "China" airship developed by itself, flying through the clouds and into the sky, flying rapidly and smoothly. The six-star red flag fluttered in the wind, which greatly made the Chinese people who were poor and weak and had a deep disaster felt proud. The crowds who were watching were shocked and couldn't help but joking. Under the guidance of the military government staff, they kept raising their arms and shouting, "The revolution will win! Long live China!"

Boost the people's hearts and morale, and make people more confident in the revolution. Although airships are reluctant to be used for combat, this is indeed a good idea.

Many Chinese and foreign ships and people on the shore stopped to watch this wonder. The three airships hovered in the sky, proud and majestic. Then, they floated. A burst of "white snow" fell from the sky, and the three airships raised their heads and left here disdainfully and flew towards Wuchang. They left a group of people all the way and left countless topics of discussion.

"This is not useful in the game." The officer said with a smile: "If you can throw a bomb, it would be amazing."

Tang Xiangming glanced at the officer and sighed a long time. His morale was already very low. He was fucked by the airship again, alas! He was about to speak when a piece of paper floated past his eyes. He grabbed it and opened it to look closely.

"The Qing Dynasty has been in China for more than 200 years, and is stupid and cruel, and even the people are living in poverty. The heavens are angry and resentful, and the revolutionary army slanders the people and punishes the crimes. The ultimate goal is to revive China. All the soldiers of the navy have the ambition to serve the country and strive for strength. Who has no heart or sincerity? Who is not the descendants of Yan and Huang? How can they be willing to be slaves and harm their compatriots? Dear compatriots, please do not hesitate, and make a decision immediately and contribute to the prosperity and strength of the new China."

Tang Xiangming pinched the flyers into a ball, threw them into the river, looked up and saw that there were many officers and soldiers on the ship whispering to each other.

"Sir, please immediately order the officers of each ship to search for leaflets, so that the officers and soldiers should not be poisoned and listened to their ruthless words." An officer saw Tang Xiangming's face look ugly and went forward to say in a pleasing manner.

Tang Xiangming pursed his lips and glanced at the officer with some contempt. He turned his eyes to Jiang'an, silent, and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he shook his head and said with a disheartened voice: "The hearts of people are dispersed, it's not easy to carry this soldier! He has eyes and ears. If you want to see it, just listen. Let's go with them! If you use your life with your might, you may not die without a place to bury yourself." After that, he staggered into the cabin, and the cabin door slammed and closed heavily.

The earth fire was running under the rocks, and the conflict had been suppressed for too long. The impulse explosion was finally time to expose it.

Just on the eighth day after Wuchang's revival, Li Zhun led the former Guangzhou Navy and the troop transport merchant ships to suddenly appear in Fuzhou. Xu Chongzhi, a member of the Fuzhou New Army, took advantage of the situation to announce the uprising. Yushan Dashi Hall set up a front-line command headquarters, and joined forces with the Guangzhou Revolutionary Army that was on the 6th to attack the Fuzhou General Administration and its streets.

The Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Song Shou and the General of Fuzhou refused to surrender, and led the "Han-killing Team" organized by the Eight Banners Jiesheng Camp and the senior Manchu official Wen Kai, to fight to the death with the Fujian Law and Political Academy as the center. In the early morning, the Revolutionary Army captured the Governor's Office, Song Shou, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, committed suicide by swallowing gold. The General of Fuzhou Pu Shou was captured, and the Deputy Chief of the Jiesheng Camp was captured at the same time. Guanxiang, the soldiers of Jiuquting Pavilion surrendered on the white flag, and Fuzhou was revived.

After Jiujiang was revived, the Jiangxi military government sent the third battalion soldiers to Anhui. Hu Wantai, Wu Yanggu and others instigated the New Army Artillery Battalion uprising in Anqing. After a fierce battle overnight, they liberated Anqing and attacked the provincial capital. In a panic, the Provincial Advisory Bureau hurriedly held a meeting and declared Anhui independence on the 24th and elected former governor Zhu Jiabao as the governor.

Restoration, Restoration, and both of them are lying for revolutionary independence, but the names of the official system, different members, and different purposes. Among them, some want to reach the sky in one step, some want to fish in the water, and some want to take advantage of the chaos. It can be said that rivers enter the sea, mud and sand are all under the various forms and complexity.

The revival was intensified. Just when the Beiyang Army heading south was "going slowly, wait and see" because Feng Guozhang followed Yuan Shikai's will, another wave of independence hit the shaking Qing court, shaking the collapsed building.

"Move many things to distract the court's attention and prevent the Hubei military government from taking over the fierce suppression of the Beiyang Army alone." Yuan Shikai stared at the map and nodded slightly, "The Revival Society has indeed been planned for a long time. It is not only well-organized, but also in an orderly manner. Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Hubei are now connected and can attack and defend; when Jiujiang comes, the imperial navy dares to cooperate deeply; Shanghai is restoring, shaking the financial resources of the Southeast. It seems that I really underestimated the strength of the Revival Society."

"This is only military." Yang Du frowned and patted the newspaper. "The Guangdong military government successively issued laws, abolished the kneeling and worship, removed the checkpoints and eliminated the likins, issued preferential laws on investment promotion, promulgated the Industrial and Commercial Law, Labor Law and Labor Protection Law, and established an independent court; and this, to celebrate the restoration of Guangzhou, the Guangdong military government refused to accept gentry's joint wages, but agreed with the gentry that the tenants' land rent will be reduced by half this year to show that they will enjoy the people. Look, these tricks that will attract people's hearts are endless, which is amazing."

"There is also the protection of the people and property of all countries that are occupied by the military government; the treaties, rights and national debts established by the Qing government and other countries, and the incidents of the military government will not recognize them after this declaration; those who have helped the Qing government to interfere with the military government will be hostile; those who have any foreigners who have helped the Qing government to make use of war will be confiscated. The Revival Association will reduce the interference of the great powers to a minimum, which is really clever!"

Although these diplomatic principles are vaguely introduced on certain issues, such as unequal treaties and reparations, they are indeed as historically evaluated. Due to the compromise and weakness of the bourgeoisie, they did not make any claims of completely opposing imperialism or feudalism. But at this time, isn’t it a reason to interfere with the great powers? Should we really believe in the masses, mobilize the masses, and overthrow the paper tigers such as Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, etc., and stand without any pain in their backs. The situation is better than others!

"Yes, there are indeed some people in the Revival Society." Yuan Shikai nodded in agreement, his eyes turned, and said to Yang Du: "Zhen Zi, then **** suggested that I force the court to establish a constitution and hold a national assembly. I thought about it over and over again and felt that it was very reasonable. However, the Revival Society proposed the republic, which was puzzling. I wonder if they could change their course and support the constitutional monarchy. In this way, I should come out and urge the court, so the war can be eliminated and the people can't resolve it."

"What's the difficulty?" Yang Du immediately stood up when he heard Yuan Shikai agreeing to his suggestion and said sincerely: "Du is not talented, and he is willing to share his worries with Yuan Gong. Today, he will go to Guangzhou. With his words of no desolation, he will definitely convince them to abandon the Republic and respect Junxian."

"In this way, there will be a hard work." Yuan Shikai pretended to be grateful, took Yang Du's hand, and gave him some more instructions before sending Yang Du away.

Yuan Shikai went into the house again, his face had become serious and solemn, staring at the map for a long time to ponder.

Another tide of independence was happy and sad for him. What was happy was that the court had loosened up and appointed him as the governor of Huguang and also handled the suppression and pacification matters at the same time. However, according to this order, he was not particularly satisfied with Yinchang's deputy. However, he wanted to continue to drag on and ask for more concessions from the Qing court, and was worried that the revolutionary army would take the opportunity to grow bigger, and that by then he would really become a confidant. If he failed to raise a tiger, he would suffer instead. He was very worried about this.

After thinking about it, Yuan Shikai decided to delay it again and asked his old friend Xu Shichang to take his conditions to test the Qing court. In his opinion, if the Hubei Revolutionary Army pushes northward, the Qing court will be panicked, and then his conditions will not be anything else. (To be continued.)
