Fang Jianxiong put on a new military uniform, packed up, got off the train, and walked more than a hundred steps to meet the representatives from Suzhou. From a distance, he saw people from the special service group blocking the representatives. Everyone was holding a gun and staring at the crowd.

heavily guarded

Fang Jianxiong strode forward and scolded: "All the people here are Suzhou elders. Who are you guarding against? We set off from Anhui with all kinds of hardships. Why? Who will answer me? Leng Yu, you are the regiment

Chief, come here!"

Zheng Quan secretly rejoiced as he listened. He was not afraid that Fang Jianxiong was unscrupulous, but that he only knew how to play with swords and guns. Of course, Commander Fang looked a little young, but he had great ambitions and followed good deeds. Such a person is worth following.

Dry..

"In order to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty! In order for the people to live a good life!" Leng Yu suddenly stood at attention, and the whole group stood at attention neatly. The collective shouts were loud and powerful, and the audience's hearts palpitated.

"Very good, I haven't forgotten what I said. Get out of the way, I want to meet the Suzhou elders!" In fact, everyone on the other side heard and saw the gesture. But having said that, the Anhui army captured Nanjing but did not occupy it.

Everyone knows what happened. Along the way, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, and Wuxi did not enter the city, and they all knew it. This is thanks to the telegraph, which made the people of Suzhou think that they were a benevolent army.

.

Zhang Qian was the last number one scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. Although this was a bit controversial, his teacher Weng Tonghe was also quite good. After all, Zhang Qian was still the number one scholar, which was really a big deal in this era.

As the leader of the Constitutionalists, Zhang Qian has been watching Fang Jianxiong's performance with cold eyes. Zhang Qian is not a simple scholar. He served as an official when he was young, even stayed in North Korea, worked with Yuan Shikai and turned against him, and later went to sea.

Doing business is not that simple. At the time of Dasheng Cotton Mill, Zhang Qian only

With only a reputation and no money, how easy is it to start an industry? Later, he focused on a batch of machines left by Zhang Zhidong in Shanghai. He originally planned to set up a factory in Wuchang. Through Zhang Qian's relationship with Sheng Xuanhuai, the two of them divided the batch of machines.

No one was held accountable afterwards. This can be considered a successful case of embezzling state-owned assets.

Zhang Qian is not without political ambitions, which can be seen from his constant calls for constitutionalism during his opposition. However, Zhang Qian is also a very shrewd person. It is Yuan Shikai who is optimistic about the current situation. This is very realistic. Later, when the Nanjing Provisional Government was established, Zhang Qian

If you refuse to take over as the Minister of Finance, you just don’t think highly of the Tongmenghui!

What did Commander Fang say in front of him? Zhang Qian was still a little happy for Yuan Shikai, he was too young. Being young meant being impulsive! It meant it was unreliable! But then again, Fang Jianxiong’s unit was definitely not among the elite Beiyang Army.

Next. Military discipline, in particular, is incredibly strict.

As the leader of the Suzhou representatives, Zhang Qian still had to step forward to speak. Suddenly, Zhang Qian stepped forward slowly and held his hands in an arrogant manner: "Old Zhang Qian, I have met Commander Fang!"

On the way here, Fang Jianxiong got to know the situation in Suzhou. He looked up and down at the middle-aged man in front of Yifan, and saw that he had a calm demeanor and bright eyes. He stood at attention, and Fang Jianxiong solemnly saluted Zhang Qian and said, "See you, Fang Jianxiong."

It's past the season!" He said and said toward him

A group of Suzhou representatives saluted: "Fang Jianxiong has met all Suzhou elders!"

Fang Jianxiong looks good. He is dressed in a straight military uniform, yet still has an elegant demeanor. He is very popular with the people of Suzhou.

At this time, Gu Zhongchen came out and cupped his hands and said, "Fuguo, long time no see."

Fang Jianxiong and Gu Zhongchen have no friendship, but they are not bad. Gu Zhongchen was dismissed from the Huncheng 31st Association because he was dragged down by Ni Yingdian, Leng Yu, and Xiong Chengji. Now Ni Yingdian and Xiong Chengji seem to have been dead for a long time. Uh, by the way

, Xiong Chengji went to sell maps to the Russians and was betrayed and imprisoned. The specific source of the map was given to him by Huang Xing. At that time, the Alliance was short of funds. Xiong Chengji took the initiative to take care of this matter.

"Hello, Mr. Gu!" Fang Jianxiong also responded enthusiastically. After meeting with the Suzhou representative, Fang Jianxiong said to Zhang Qian: "Our army's goal is to open up the Shanghai-Nanjing line to support Wuchang. In the end, our army will have to return.

It's from Anhui, so Suzhou elders don't have to worry, our army will never enter the city."

Saying this in front of everyone is a guarantee.

"Commander Fang, Commander Cheng is hosting a banquet in the mansion to cleanse the commander of his dust. Please go into the city." Wu Tingfang came out to speak. He was the Minister of Negotiations. Fang Jianxiong smiled and waved his hand and said: "We can't go, the military situation is urgent. Since Suzhou has been recovered,

Our army quickly passed through and headed straight for Shanghai. Minister Wu told Governor Cheng that Jianxiong was rude."

The Suzhou representatives looked at each other in shock. Unexpectedly, Fang Jianxiong refused to accept the banquet. He was not familiar with this guy, and the soldiers did not dare to persuade him. In the end, all eyes were focused on Zhang Qian, who was the leader of everyone. Zhang Qian was also there.

Thinking about it, Fang Jianxiong showed a kind of respect when facing his arrogance just now. This young man seems not that simple. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Zhu Jiabao could endure it for many years and once launched an army to take Anqing without bloodshed.

Not simple either?

At this time, a crisp voice broke the somewhat rigid atmosphere at the scene: "Brother Fang, everything about the Shanghai Uprising has been decided. We don't need a large army to go. As long as you give me one regiment, we can take Shanghai."

Fang Jianxiong followed the sound and looked over, and it was the little girl Yin Weijun who appeared in the crowd.

"Miss Yin, why are you here?" Fang Jianxiong was greatly surprised. Yin Weijun, with a sad look on his face, pushed aside the crowd and said, "It's hard to explain, just say, don't you give me a group?"

Fang Jianxiong saw that she had a resolute look on her face and that she must have just arrived. He immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll have a few words with the Suzhou elders and we'll be done."

Yin Weijun nodded and stood silently behind. Fang Jianxiong walked up to a group of Suzhou representatives and saluted again: "Thank you all for your deep friendship. Fang Jianxiong is busy with military affairs, so I have neglected it."

Zhang Qian made up his mind, stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "In that case, all elders, please go back first. I still have some matters to discuss with Commander Fang, so Lord Gu will stay here as well."

Zhang Qian didn't think that Fang Jianxiong would simply leave. The enthusiasm of the people of Suzhou cannot be used as money. Fortunately, the people of Suzhou were well prepared and brought a pile of chicken, duck, fish and other things. These are all for everyone to see. The real

The useful information is with Zhang Qian.

Fang Jianxiong asked Zhang Qian and Gu Zhongchen to get on the train, and said apologetically: "I'm going to take care of something first. You two can sit down for a moment."

Both of them were observing the carriage. It was very simple in layout, with a large sand table in the middle, and the entire Shanghai-Nanjing Line could be seen at a glance. The walls of the carriage were all hung with maps, large and small. Gu Zhongchen knew his stuff, and he felt secretly in his heart when he saw it.

Surprisingly, Fang Jianxiong's military preparations were quite meticulous. Take the map on the wall as an example. Many small roads along the way are marked, and even the most basic village names are marked.

Fang Jianxiong went to another carriage, where Yin Weijun was sitting in a daze. When he saw him coming in, he immediately stood up and said, "Brother Fang is here."

"Nvxia Yin, what happened?" Yin Weijun's face basically told people that she had something to do. After asking, Yin Weijun told the truth. After returning to Shanghai from Wuchang, the Yin sisters stepped up preparations for the uprising and established a blockade in the French Concession.

A bomb was made on the third floor of Weichang Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. Unexpectedly, on November 2, Yin Ruizhi, who had been busy all night, was helped

He was advised to rest, but not long after he lay down, due to improper operation, the bomb exploded. Yin Ruizhi, who was resting, was injured and jumped off the building to escape. His two assistants, Yang Zheshang, were shattered to pieces, and Ping Zhishu suffered burns all over his body. Yin Ruizhi was admitted to the new hospital.

After receiving treatment for his injuries, police officers followed him and he was escorted to Guangji Hospital for treatment. He is currently fine, but he was arrested.

Yin Weijun went to Wusong to contact the New Army that day, but when he came back, he looked completely different. Yang Zheshang, who was killed in the bombing, and Yin Weijun fell in love for a long time, and the two secretly became a couple. This made Yin Weijun sad, but the girl was determined and learned that Fang Jianxiong

He led his army to march eastward and immediately rushed to Nanjing. On the way, he learned that Fang Jianxiong's troops had arrived in Suzhou and hurriedly came to see him.

After hearing this, Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but secretly feel sad, saying that this revolutionary party does have something worthy of admiration. He immediately said: "I will send a special agent team to follow you immediately. We will leave by train and we can reach Shanghai before dark."

Yin Weijun did not stay long and stood up and said: "The day to discuss the uprising is tomorrow. I will lead the team back right away."

Fang Jianxiong didn't let her stay even after thinking about it, and asked her to wait. He called Leng Yu and said, "You and Yin Nuxia go to Shanghai. Remember, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau must catch all the 150 artillery shells of the Navy."

Rely on production and supplies there.”

He didn't say much, but his meaning was clear. The importance of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was obvious to the Anhui Army, which was equipped with heavy artillery.

"Commander, just rest assured and promise to keep it under control." Leng Yu stood at attention and replied. Fang Jianxiong nodded with satisfaction and said: "You go ahead, my army will arrive soon, and I won't let you fight alone."

After handling this matter, Fang Jianxiong returned to the compartment where the headquarters was located. Zhang Qian and Gu Zhongchen were very interesting. One was staring at the map, and the other was drinking tea slowly.

"I'm neglecting you two!" Fang Jianxiong came in and spoke with cupped hands. The two of them cupped their hands in return. Zhang Qian was still sitting, looking at the other side.

Fang Jianxiong didn't seem to notice this detail. After asking Gu Zhongchen to sit down, he said, "If you need Fang's help with anything, just ask."

You want to help someone so straight to the point? How can there be such a good thing! You need to change your mind to listen to these words, but Fang Jianxiong's words were beautiful, and Zhang Qian secretly praised it in his heart.

"The Jiangsu People's Army wants to expand into two divisions, and there are many gaps in arms. The British are restricting the flow of arms in Shanghai, so they have to ask Fuguo for help." Zhang Qian cupped his hands and spoke, his tone and expression still arrogant, and it did not sound like he was asking for help.
