"Click...Click...Click..." The sound of the patrolman walking echoed in the long corridor. The sound stopped when it reached the door of the prison. After a series of keys hit, a key was inserted into the lock. With a "click", the door of the prison opened "clash...", and the light of the horse lantern shone into the prison. Wang Jitong, who was supposed to be sleeping, opened his eyes.

A red-headed captain was carrying two horse lanterns. Behind him was a foreigner and a common man. The foreigner nodded to the captain, took a horse lantern and then went out. Only foreigners and general history were left in the prison. The foreigner was in his thirties, but his face was gloomy. His nose was very high, but the bridge of his high nose was hooked at the bottom.

"Is King Mister right?" the foreigner said to the news in English, and the news was interpreted again.

Wang Jitong was still looking at the foreigner with a gloomy face. He could feel a special smell on him. He was very familiar with this smell, and he also had it on himself. When he was manipulating everything in his small attic in Wananli, it was also the same smell. Wang Jitong stood up, stood up and bowed to the foreigner, but did not speak.

While he was looking at the foreigners, the foreigners were also looking at him. After all, in the outside world, the leader whom the outside world would be known to the outside world was him, not Yang Rui. "I am Mr. Gawent," the foreigner introduced himself. "According to what we know, the Revival will be smuggling arms on a large scale, which is something that the Ministry of Industry and the British government do not like to see. Therefore, I hope Mr. Wang can terminate this dangerous business and hand over the remaining arms, which is a worthwhile thing for us and you."

It was indeed the trouble caused by arms. Wang Jitong's guess was immediately clear. He said, "Mr. Gai, I don't know what you said. Since I passed by Wan'anli in the afternoon, I have been imprisoned here, and no one has explained the reason to me."

According to the lawyer's teaching, Wang Jitong didn't know anything he asked, but his plan did not play any role in Gaywent. "Mr. Wang, I hope we can negotiate openly and honestly. I have no prejudice about your revolution, but the British government will never welcome any riots in the Yangtze River Basin, so you should not smuggle arms into this area."

Wang Jitong wanted to answer the man named Gawent, "You don't care about the Chinese revolution," but he considered the current situation. He still replied, "I still don't know what Mr. Gaye said." After that, he sat on the bed and closed his eyes without saying a word.

Gaywent had known that Wang Jitong was very difficult. Seeing him like this, he said again: "We have arrested many members of the Revival Society, including Zhang Taiyan, the former political prisoner, and one of your leaders, who was also injured when they ran away. I think he should not live long. By the way, all your affairs are being investigated. Although the fire in Wan'anli is very fierce, a lot of things are still left behind, Mr. Wang. If you still don't cooperate, the Revival Society will be fully suppressed, including the British government. I don't think this is what you want to see."

Gewent said, "There is another leader who was also injured when he ran away..." When Wang Jitong's closed eyes suddenly opened. If Uncle Mei was caught, then the injured person would not be injured. He wanted to ask who was injured in the foreigner, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Gewent's sneer faintly on his lips, and he held back. If it was an American, German, French, and Russian, he would say this to him, then he believed it, but when he was facing a British man, Wang Jitong could not believe anything he said.

These Saxons, who even pay great attention to politeness in killing people, are the most insidious and cunning. When they inquire about the news from him, more news will be revealed while inquiring about it. As for what he said, "the Ministry of Industry and the British government suppressed the entire British government." Wang Jitong believed it but not. When a cannon fire in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River that day, all of them were occupied by the revival, the British should not be suppressed but should be neutral, or gain greater benefits in the name of supporting the revolution. Whether or not to support or not depends on the situation and interests, it is not something that a person could assert for a few years ago.

When Wang Jitong held back and said nothing, Gawent was really disappointed. Just now when Wang Jitong opened his eyes, he felt that he had succeeded, but he didn't want Wang Jitong to say something but stopped him. In fact, he didn't know much about the Revival Society, and most of the information came from Softang Kotaro, while Softang Kotaro's information came from the Tongmeng Society.

Based on the information of Sobaya Kotaro, the Revival Society known as Major Gawent was an anti-Qing group composed of scholars, just like other anti-Qing organizations. He was probably founded in 1903 and was named Yang Jingcheng. Wang Jitong in front of him was also a backbone member of the organization. During the Russo-Japanese War, the Revival Society sent people to the Northeast to fight against the Russians, thus gaining a high reputation and influence between the Qing Revolutionary Party. However, when the Qing government was preparing to implement constitutionalism, there were rumors that this organization supported constitutionalism. Their core member Cai joined a constitutional organization, the Constitutional Friends Association, and some time ago, he left the China Education Association, which he presided over for many years, and stated that he had no relationship with the Education Association in the future.

Of course, these are just superficial situations. According to the news from Soba Kotaro, the constitution of the Revival Society is just a disguise to protect itself. They are actually trying their best to plan the riot, and the recently smuggled guns are the weapons prepared by the Revival Society for the riot. Sir Huo Bilan does not like large-scale riots in the Yangtze River Basin. Once these riots are not controlled, they will hurt innocent foreigners. More importantly, once the riots are riots, business may be interrupted, which will affect the impact of the situation.

Receive the commercial interests of Britain. At the same time, once commercial interests are damaged, customs income will be reduced, and these customs incomes are exactly the important source of compensation in 1901. In other words, not only the interests of British merchants are damaged, but even the vested interests of the British government will be damaged. This is by no means what diplomats in China are willing to see. Considering the trade deficit of more than 160 million taels of silver every year [Note], even mobilizing the army to suppress the riots is also what the big figures in Downing Street are happy to see.

This is the logic of the British suppressing the revolution. According to this logic, if the revival was revived, it would riot in Shandong, Shanxi, North Manchuria, Mongolia and other places, but Gavint wanted to see it, but they did not do so. They are now focused on the Shanghai Concession and then plan the riot in the Yangtze River Basin.

"Mr. Wang, you will definitely regret today's rejection!" Major Gawent looked at Wang Jitong who was closed and speechless, and finally threw a harsh word. Seeing that Wang Jitong was still closed and silent, he had to turn around and leave the cell. However, when he was angry, he kicked the iron gate hard. With a "bang", it seemed that the entire old police room could hear it.

Major Gawent was out of the prison angrily. He did not go to find the political prisoner, but went back to his residence and slept for a sleep. The next morning, he sent someone to find the representative of the Qing government, Ying. Now the escape was Yang Jingcheng, the president of the Revival Society. If he could catch him, it would be much easier.

"Ying, haven't you found anyone yet?" Major Gawent asked, looking at Ying Guixin running over. Huaguan and Ying Guixin were doing the search, but Huaguan had nothing to find.

"Mr. Gawente, we are looking for people, but the Nicheng Bridge is too big. It was night last night, so it was still difficult to find people. Now I have only searched less than half of the places during the day." Because of inaccurate information, Ying Guixin was scolded by this foreigner yesterday. But the foreigner got angry and he could only bear it. However, when he went back tonight, he also scolded Liu Guanghan, "Mr. Gawente, since Yang Jingcheng was injured, I am afraid he will not live tomorrow."

"No. I need him to live." Major Gawent said, "Only he is alive, we can find out the source and destination of the arms. Didn't your Governor tell you that?"

"Yes, yes. We all hope he will be alive." Ying Guixin was confused by Chen Qimei, and she only wanted Yang Jingcheng to die and forgot the purpose of the foreigners. "Mr. Gavint, starting last night, the people from the Revival Society were also searching Yang Jingcheng. I solved them in the afternoon and found Yang Jingcheng tomorrow." He looked generous in front of the foreigners and patted his chest.

"Very good. Then I'll wait for your good news." Major Gawent, whose face had been tense for a day, smiled? He liked such a Qing people.

Ying Guixin patted her chest in front of Lord Foreigner, but she was not sure. As soon as she returned to the county government, she was about to send additional personnel to search, but before she could sit down, Mi Zhanyuan, the secret agent of the Governor of Liangjiang, came. "Lord Duanfang wants to arrest these criminals immediately." After that, she handed over a list.

He said it was Lord Duan Fang, but in fact he wanted to arrest him. Ying Guixin took it and found that most of the list was in the concession. She couldn't help but pat her head and said, "Brother Mi, many of these people are in the concession."

"Then let's catch the outside of the concession first. Don't worry about the inside of the concession." Mi Zhanyuan said, "Also, don't say it's from the Revival Society, just say it's the Revolutionary Party."

"Revival Society? Revolutionary Party? Good, good." Ying Guixin didn't know that the Revival Society would wipe out the face of Lord Zaize, who had just changed from Duke Zhenguo to Beile, but she just made a fool of herself.

Seeing that he agreed, Mi Zhanyuan said goodbye and went to the prison. When the British were operating yesterday afternoon, the Chinese community also arrested several members of the Revival, and are now tortured in the prison. As soon as Mi Zhanyuan entered the prison, he did not hear the torture. Instead, he heard the voice inside: "God has the virtue of life, and the court does not want to kill more people! Governor Duanfang also often said that revolution and constitutionalism are the same thing. Before, revolution was first, constitutionalism was first. Is there still a need for revolution? Look, so many people I just told you that surrendered themselves, and there were several people with heavy guilt and all the adults were pardoned, and talented people have recommended to be officials. With such a kind and wise master, do you still have to die?"

The person who spoke was an aide from the Governor's office from Nanjing, named Wang and Jeff. He probably couldn't make a name for himself in the Governor's office. He came to Shanghai and said he wanted to surrender the revolutionary party. He was very good at speaking. Several revolutionary parties who would rather die than surrender were said to have surrendered.

Seeing that the revolutionary party in front of him did not speak, Wang Jief understood that his will was a little weak, and said, "Ye Zhifeng, Brother Ling and Lord Lingtang will be in Shanghai tomorrow... It is not easy for her to provide you with hard work. If she saw you like this, how would she think? Alas... it is really pitiful to parents all over the world."

When Ye Zhifeng heard that his mother and brother were taken by the government, he immediately screamed. The iron chains on his body were also rumbling, "I have the aura of coming to me, why do you have to involve your family? Kill me!"

"Lord Lingtang is just here to see you. I sent them a telegram to invite them, not to be arrested. Ye Zhifeng, you should think carefully about how to explain your ridiculous things when you meet Lord Lingtang tomorrow." You must be patient in dealing with the revolutionary party. When Wang Jief saw that his words were effective, he did not say anything. Instead, he asked the prison man next to him to take Ye Zhifeng down.

Seeing that Wang Jief was free, Mi Zhanyuan stepped forward and said half sincerely and half sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. It is Mr.'s merit that these revolutionary parties can abandon darkness and turn to light."

When Wang Jief heard this, he laughed and said, "This is not my achievement. It is the wise and decisive decision of Wu Shuai. The revolutionary party is really endless. It is like weeds. Burning and digging roots cannot stop it from spreading, so it must be soft and hard. It will be countered with the round."

"Mr. Wang. We have also surrendered before, but they would rather die than surrender." Mi Zhanyuan came to Shanghai for a long time and knew that a Lord Zhi had arrested the revolutionary party before, but in the end, he could not surrender, so he had to kill the matter.

"Ai, this trick of surrender is also about the right time, place and people. A few years ago, Japan and Russia started war in the northeast. The people were living in poverty and the country was not worthy of their lives. The general trend lies with the revolutionary party; but now, the saint king returned to his position. Constitutionalization and Congress were established, and the general trend was with me. Such a person should be the first. Moreover, this revolutionary party is mostly a brave person who is fearless of death, but such people are also patriotic people. The deeper they love, the more they hate him. Now, with his parents and wives as lobbyists, they cry, which is much more useful than torture and serving us." Wang Jief said that his strategy for surrender was very well-intentioned and began to show off his experience to Mi Zhanyuan. "Now, in accordance with the imperial edict of the court, Wu Shuai changed the method of pardon for the revolutionary party to the law of surrendering the revolutionary party, and a court of reflection will be established everywhere. In this way, as long as the arrested revolutionary party will surrender."

"Revolutionaries surrender to the law? Reflection House?" Mi Zhanyuan didn't understand this thing at all. He asked, "Mr. Wang, can this be useful?"

"Of course it's useful!" Wang Jeff touched his beard and looked at himself. "As long as a revolutionary party surrenders, he will give out a large string. There will always be some friends with the surrendered ones. We let the surrendered revolutionary party lobby for the time being. It will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. Look, the people arrested in the afternoon, except Ye Zhifeng, all the others surrendered when they saw Liu Guanghan surrender. This is like pulling the seedlings, following the clues, and then uprooting them."

Wang Jeff said he grabbed it on his hand, but his short and fat body made such a move was really indecent. Mi Zhanyuan laughed in his heart and had to tell the news he had heard before, "Sir, according to rumors, the Revival Association will be in progress in the near future. I wonder if these revolutionaries who surrendered themselves mentioned this?"

"Ask a business?" Wang Jief came back from the excitement of surrendering and said, "Oh. Several people mentioned it, but they were all vague. By the way, Ye Zhifeng knew a lot. If he pried open his mouth tomorrow, then..."

"Sir, Wu Shuai has learned that the Tongmenghui will have plans to carry out affairs, saying that it will be carried out in the near future. The Revival Society is said to be carried out, and the time is set within these two or three days. But the time knows, but there is nothing to know where to carry out affairs. The most important thing now is to know where they will carry out affairs."

Sun Wen, the Prime Minister of Tongmenghui, is actually a stock broker. The revolution under his leadership is actually a routine of offering, opening and listing. Every time he engages in an overseas Chinese, he will raise funds for overseas Chinese. If he wants to raise funds for offering, he will always sue the "business plan". In order to prove that the "business plan" is feasible, many key factors supporting the plan must be clearly told to "investors" to enhance their confidence in investment.

What overseas investors say is actually top-secret information that should be strictly kept. However, in order to "investment", Sun Wen no longer cared about top-secret secrets. As long as the overseas Chinese wanted to hear, he would say that Duan Fang, the Governor of Liangjiang, knew the many actions of the revolutionaries based on this channel.

Hearing that Mi Zhanyuan said the matter was urgent, Wang Jeff thought about it and said after a long time: "Since he knew that the righteousness was within these two or three days, he could defraud Ye Zhifeng, but the premise was that he had to know the details of the matter."

"A fraud?" Mi Zhanyuan said, "What if he can't cheat?"

"Well, then this can only be based on luck. It is best to do this technique after his brother and mother arrive tomorrow. Alas, I'm afraid that there will be not enough time. As soon as I asked this place, I'll ask for it. "Wang Jeff can surrender these revolutionary parties. But surrendering is a meticulous job and it's impossible to hurry. The most important thing is to let the revolutionary party stay in prison for two days and be tortured and tortured; then stay in the reflective courtyard for two days, and enjoy a comfortable life for two days. This is repeated, one hell and one heaven, and the sharp contrast can produce results.

Seeing that he was like this, Mi Zhanyuan felt that this matter was in a hurry. He said, "Mr. Wang, if you ask something tomorrow, then send a telegram to Wu Shuai. Then Wu Shuai will plan and quell the revolutionary rebellion."

Search, surrender, hunt... This is the action of the Qing government; disconnection, transfer, evacuation... This is Cai Yuanpei's response. However, the Qing Dynasty was not only in Shanghai. Jiangsu, Anqing, and Wuchang were also arresting the revolutionary party. The reason was not entirely because the revolutionary party was going to take action, but the governors from all over the country wanted to express one meaning to the capital, that is, the local unstable, and rashly abolishing the governor was extremely inappropriate to stability in various places, so they were searching for it in large numbers.

Huo Shao sat in the temporary president's position for only two days, but Cai Yuanpei felt that two years had passed. He saw Wang Jitong and Yang Rui dealt with these things before, and he was very rude. But when he arrived at him, he was mainly about saving people and arranging matters. However, saving people was extremely difficult. Zhang Taiyan was found an excuse by the Ministry of Industry and Economics and was imprisoned in the West Prison. Wang Jitong didn't even agree to bail, but even meeting him was not allowed. There was also Yang Rui, the special department under Mu Xiangyao and Hu Wenyao's baggage, and fought with a group of Qing spies at Nicheng Bridge. Although he won, he didn't say that he died, and more than a dozen people were caught in the police station. The most important thing was that he searched for two consecutive days, but there was no trace of Yang Rui. Especially in the end, the news of Yang Rui being injured was spread, which made him unable to sleep or eat.

It is difficult to save people, but all the work of the work is not easy, especially the insurrection troops are extremely insufficient. The troops of the three thousand people have only 1,500 firearms that can be used. Except for one thousand regular military rifles, the others are single-shot needle guns and hunting fire systems that have been eliminated. The ammunition is also insufficient. Each rifle will not be equipped with more than 130 bullets. Just these guns may be enough to take Hangzhou, but if the city of Hangzhou is not conquered, the subsequent battle will be very problematic. As for the arms transported from South Africa last month, it has now arrived outside Ningbo. However, after the arms case in Shanghai broke out, Wang Jitong did not dare to order them to go to Shanghai to unload goods, so he could only stop the ship in a hidden place in Ningbo.

In addition, the situation in the court became clearer and clearer. With the mutiny of the Beiyang army, with the relaxation of the handling of Yuan Shikai by Guangxu, the capital Nanyuan and Baoding have been calmed down. As for the fourth town of Machang in Qingxian County and the fifth town of Jining, Shandong, they are afraid that they will be persuaded to calm down in recent days. In the previous central confusion, the situation of chaos in the whole country will probably not occur, but even so, Cai Yuanpei is a little difficult to get on the verge of the tiger. He advocated the matter. Now the troops have gathered at the departure point and will start fighting tomorrow morning. Now the call for withdrawal will be greatly harmful to morale. In addition, he has set the slogan of "resisting taxes and anti-caves, photovoltaics and China" according to Ao Jiaxiong's suggestion - if he really does not make righteousness, then the people who mobilized will never believe in the Revival Society in the future.

"Sir, the General Staff is now about to take over the command of the righteous army." The night after Wan'anli arrested, Shao Lizi said softly as he looked at Cai Yuanpei who was in a state of suffocation under the kerosene lamp.

"Oh? They commanded?" Cai Yuanpei didn't understand the smooth operation of the Fuxing Army. He thought this was commanded by him, the interim president.

"Yes, they are in command of the specific operations." Shao Lizi also asked Chen Guangshou, who had been on a hunger strike for two days, before he knew about these things. "That is, the orders here are sent to the General Staff, and the General Staff will then be sent to the officers of each unit."

"Oh. This means that everything in the military is followed by the General Staff?" Cai Yuanpei, who was very confused about the military system designed by Yang Rui, couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"No, Guangshou said that the military is actually three major systems, namely the General Staff, the General Staff, and the General Political Department," Shao Lizi said with this strange name and explained to Cai Yuanpei: "The General Staff is the General Staff, which is said to be in Germany, which specializes in commanding troops to fight. Now that the start of the matter, the command of the troops will be transferred to them. The person in charge is Bei Shoutong; the General Staff, the General Logistics Department, mainly for the supply of food, wages and ammunition, Zhu Luhe is responsible; the General Staff is the General Political Department, and Zhang Chengyue is responsible for Zhejiang."

"Oh..." Cai Yuanpei responded quietly, "Since it is the military rule, let it be left to them. But all the progress in Zhejiang must be reported to us." He asked at the end. (To be continued...)
