The long Hong Kong meeting finally ended. Although the results of the meeting basically met the previous expectations, Yang Rui still felt another kind of worry.\. It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to govern the world. Especially now China still has to look at the faces of foreigners. Although it is not astonished as foreigners sneeze, they can still affect China's political situation after all.

Sun Wen is a foreigner who plays Chinese chess pieces, but will Yu Zixun not be so? Zhang Taiyan and Wang Jitong, these people are full of problems, but when they see farmers suffer losses due to unified purchase and sales of grain, and countless workers die due to accidents and hard work, what will they think then? This is still treating them as gentlemen. Everyone is only fighting for the direction of national policies, but what if they become ambitious in the future? With their qualifications, it is really like that, then...

On June 23, the Hong Kong Conference ended successfully, but Yang Rui felt that this would be the last great unity for everyone in the Revival Society. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we should think of this kind of state affairs first and heart-to-heart talk, and we are afraid that it will never be possible. These former comrades-in-arms can really protect the revival of this country with him, and they will be able to go to the end.

After passing Xiamen, you can see Taiwan. The island under the sky and the vast sea is not conspicuous. Yang Rui, who was standing on the deck, didn't know how he thought of the poem by Yu Youren's later generations: Bury me on the mountain and look at my continent; the continent is invisible, but only cry; bury me on the mountain and look at my hometown; the hometown is invisible, and we will never forget each other. The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. On the mountain, there are sorrows in the country.

Yang Rui never recites poems and essays. Chen Guangshou, who was standing aside, only heard strangely. Yang Rui thought that he might not be with him until the end. He was suddenly moved to a sense of desolation, so he unconsciously recited it. When he came to his senses and saw Chen Guangshou's strangeness, he had to laugh and said, "I heard it before, but now I don't know how to remember it."

Yu Youren's national sorrow is a lament that fallen leaves cannot return to their roots. It is said that Yang Rui should be proud of his heroic spirit at this time. The feelings I have in the world are inappropriate to read this poem. Although I listen to Yang Rui's explanation now, Chen Guangshou still recalled this poem in his memoirs in his later years. The reason for writing this poem was that he believed that his husband was about to succeed. He missed Chen Ximing, Xu Liezu, Wu Baodi and others who died young, and especially Chen Ximing and others' remains in Tokyo, Japan.

Chen Guangshou nodded and then said, "Sir, you have been here for more than an hour. It's windy outside. It's better to go into the cabin."

The mail ships heading north were specially recruited from Overseas Chinese Shipping Company for the safety of Yang Rui, Zhang Taiyan and Xie Zhangtai. Now that the righteousness is imminent, the leader will cause trouble and assassination will be broken. It is precisely this way that Yang Rui can move around on the deck. It is said that he has added a lot of rewards now.

"Well. Go back!" Yang Rui thought about a mess, but was not careful but stood here for so long. "What is Uncle Mei doing?"

"Mr. Taiyan is reciting poems and essays. He just bought a few bottles of wine and said he would be punished with you." Chen Guangshou said with a smile. Knowing that the righteousness was about to be done, everyone was happy all over. He didn't understand why Yang Rui still frowned deeply.

"This chapter is crazy!" Yang Rui finally laughed, then walked back and walked into the cabin.

A few days later, Yang Rui arrived in Shanghai, but at this time the General Command changed another place, no longer the Catholic church before, but in a temple called Guosi Temple, next to it was the French cemetery (now Huaihai Park). If you remember correctly, the place where this temple is the Shuguang Hospital of later generations.

Mu Xiangyao reported: "Before, because there were too many Chinese people coming in and out there, I was afraid that I would attract the attention of the concession after a long time, so I made a good idea to change to here. There are more houses here than churches and are closer to China..."

Liu Boyuan is now responsible for the protection of the General Command, but the Special Corps has been in Shanghai for many years, and the people of the people in the various places are theirs, so in Shanghai, the Special Corps' opinions are still very important.

"Twenty-four days left!" Yang Rui did not express his opinion on the location of the replacement command center, but instead said to Liu Boyuan and Mu Xiangyao with a serious expression, "If something goes wrong, I will ask you two."

"Yes!" Liu Boyuan and Mu Xiangyao immediately stood upright. They understood the importance of these two or four days very well. If something goes wrong, those two people will not be willing to die.

After Yang Rui finished his explanation, Mu Xiangyao went out, and Chen Guangshou invited all the heads of various departments to come. In the situation of the General Political Department, Bei Shoutong of the General Staff, Xu Jingxi, Zhu Luhe of the General Staff, Wang Xiaolin of the Propaganda Department, Liu Boyuan of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Xie Zhangtai, who was in charge of diplomacy, several people filled the small wing room.

The first person to report to Yang Rui was Bei Shoutong of the General Staff. He first introduced the enemy situation: "The current mobilization of troops from various places in the Qing Dynasty is in line with our previous expectations, and there are not much changes in the troops everywhere. Their forces are still twelve towns in Yanzhou, two towns in Yizhou and one mixed association. There are three towns near the capital, and finally two towns near Tonghua. Except for these gathered forces, the new troops in other places are scattered and not afraid of it."

"And our troops, the Yanzhou base did not lose much in the last war, and some officers and soldiers from the 25th and 26th towns were already collected, with nearly 80,000 troops. The 4th Army of South Africa is now returning to China one after another. Now there are 8,000 people, all of which are arranged on land, disguised as workers, the rest of the troops and guns have been on board, the guns will arrive at the end, and the artillery will be seized from the Jiangnan Bureau. By then, the total force of Yanzhou will reach 120,000, and there will be no difficulty in solving the new army in Yanzhou;

Yizhou has trained two divisions according to the plan, which is enough to hold back the 3rd and 4th towns of Beiyang, and the 30,000 people of Shandong Mixed Association; on the side of the capital, all the personnel of the 2nd Army have arrived, two divisions of Mentougou Coal Mine, one division in Weizhou, and two thousand people infiltrated the capital, have reached nearly 40,000 people."

After Bei Shoutong finished talking about the troops deployment, he was about to explain the other things in detail, but Yang Rui interrupted: "If the 4th Army of South Africa is not talking about it, what is the plan for the 2nd Army's arms transportation? Without guns, everything will be a bubble."

"It has been formulated!" Zhu Luhe, the general manager, immediately stood up. "All airships are now under maintenance in Tonghua to ensure that there is no malfunction when the general manager is in charge. Even if the general manager falls, he will also send the arms to the comrades of the 2nd Army! There are also bullets, grenades, and mortar shells needed to promote the righteousness. The production volume in Mentougou in the past two years is enough for one division to use."

Zhu Luhe said it firmly, and even shouted the word "fall". Yang Rui was not surprised. Although the capital had to seize guns and artillery, it could not be less than one division's armed forces before the night attack. Ten thousand rifles were 48 tons, accounting for half of the entire tonnage. Fortunately, bullets, grenades, and mortar shells were already secretly produced in the mining area. Otherwise, the transportation volume of 100 tons was not enough for a division.

"That's good!" Yang Rui nodded and asked again. "Does it start from Tonghua or from Linxi?"

"It will start from Linxi. The distance from the capital is 400 kilometers less than Tonghua." Zhu Luhe said, "Linxi has opened an airship landing ground in the mountain forest. All arms will be transported to Linxi in several times, and then from Linxi to Mentougou when the righteousness is taken."

Zhu Luhe was not used to what he said. Now the General Staff is introducing the situation. It is not very good for the General Staff to intervene and speak. Moreover, the entire transportation plan is extremely strict. If you want a comprehensive introduction, it will not be finished in a short time.

"Okay! Ji Mei, please continue to introduce it. I am always worried that the arms will not be transported." Yang Rui said.

Zhu Luhe sat down and Bei Shou stood up. He also understood the importance of arms transportation, and was not surprised by this. "The specific order of justice has been finalized. Beijing and other provinces launched at the same time. The most important of them are Beijing, Fengtian, Jilin, Qiqihar, Taiyuan, Wuchang, Jiangning, Anqing, Shanghai, Fuzhou, Xi'an, Kunming, and Guizhou. All the thirteen places will be mobilized and occupied on the evening of June 28. This day is exactly the birthday of Guangxu. Civil and military officials from all provinces will go to the Imperial Hall of the provincial capital to celebrate their birthdays, and we can just catch them all.

The remaining ten provinces, such as Rehe, Henan, Gansu, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Lhasa, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, were unable to be arranged for a while, and Hebei, Shandong, and Zhejiang, will be able to be captured after we fight the main force of the Qing Dynasty. The most unstable now are the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 27th towns in Beiyang, Hebei, and Shandong Mixed Association. It is difficult for us to penetrate these four towns and one association. Moreover, they have not been consumed by the war in recent years, and the combat effectiveness of the army is stronger than that of the new army in Yanzhou. It is better that they will fight our army to a decisive battle, but they will not fight with us, and flee to the Tianjin Concession, or Weihai, and Qingdao.

However, if these four towns and one association cooperate with the first town of Beiyang and the imperial guards who fled out of the capital to counterattack Beijing, then the Second Army would be more dangerous. Even if the 3rd and 4th towns and the Shandong Mixed Association were dragged by two divisions in Yizhou, the 2nd, 27th, and the 1st town, plus the patrols and police officers in Tianjin, and the defeated soldiers in the capital, there would be nearly 50,000 people. If the troops of various countries in Tianjin were also with them, it would be difficult to fight in the capital.

Once the war begins, the Qing army has the advantage in artillery fire. With the artillery that can be used in Tianjin, the Qing army is estimated to be able to gather 200 cannons. Although the 2nd Army can seize the thirty-six 150mm howitzers from the Qing imperial guards, the number of this artillery shells is still too small. At that time, only 500 rounds were bought per cannon. After years of training, the reserve of shells was basically less than 300 rounds. Moreover, this cannon is inconvenient to move, and the range is only more than 7,000 meters, which is not much farther than the 75 field cannons. In addition, other cannons that can be searched in the capital have been counted for 89. However, according to the intelligence, the shells of other artillery shells were stored for a long time, and it is still unclear how many shells can be used."

Whether the shells can be used is a new question, so after briefly introducing the situation, Bei Shoutong talked about his concerns. Yang Rui asked Liu Boyuan, "What are the shells in the arsenal in the capital? Can the quantity be determined?"

"I sent people to investigate the arsenals in all parts of the capital and got the numbers on the books. Each artillery had more than 600 rounds of shells, but the real data was probably not counted. Also, whether those shells could be used, according to the inventory management of the Qing army, I only knew after trying it. This time, our people heard that many shells could not fire when the Qing army's artillery said that many shells could not fire, so I notified the General Staff." Liu Boyuan felt aggrieved when he saw Bei Shoutong talking about the shells. He found all the numbers, but who expected that the Qing Dynasty inventory management was so bad. The shells in the ammunition depot could not be fired.

"It's good to be able to discover this problem in advance!" Yang Rui didn't blame him. "But having artillery or no shells is a big problem. Xiaoshan, can the logistics side draw some artillery shells to support the 2nd Army!"

The problem revolves around the logistics side. Zhu Luhe said: "Sir, this is very difficult. There are not enough rifles in the pass. Half of the rifles of the 1st Army were transferred to the pass. The number of missing is not enough by military factories alone, and the others can only be supplemented by seizure. The same is true for artillery shells. All the cannons that can be used in the pass are transferred to the pass. The artillery shells needed by the army can only be recycled by the output of the military factory this month, and the seizure of the Qing army."

This is a war with limited ammunition. Many troops have to seize to meet the needs of the combat, but once the seized materials cannot be used, the matter will be serious.

It can be seen that Yang Rui's concerns were. Zhu Luhe said: "Sir, there are sufficient mortar shells and grenades. In addition, the number of machine guns will exceed 200, and with the seized, it is probably more than 300 machine guns. In addition, after the second supply is completed, the airship troops can join the battle."

"It takes 30 hours to load and unload. It's still a problem. It's probably seventy hours to come back after unloading the second batch of supplies. It's probably seventy hours later. It's only a whole three days before you can arrive at the battlefield again. Of course, even if you leave two airships to throw bombs on the battlefield for the second time, it's not very useful at high altitude." Yang Ruimo calculated the delivery time of the airship, and felt that he really wanted to fight the Qing Dynasty towns. Even if he couldn't get the airship, he wouldn't be able to get there even if he arrived. The first town is in Jinzhou. The second town is in Machang, the 27th town is in Baoding, and the first town is far away. But Baoding and Machang are only 150 kilometers away from Beijing, and there are railways...

Yang Rui thought about the Beiyang army in these towns, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he immediately understood what they meant and smiled: "You didn't want me to agree to blow up the railways inside and outside the Pass and the Jinghan Railway, right?"

Bei Shoutong, Xu Jingxi and others blushed when they heard this. Xu Jingxi said, "Sir, this is true. July is the time when the river water surges. That night, sending people to blow up the bridges along the two railways, which can delay the arrival of the Qing reinforcements."

"That's right. Even in Baoding's 27th Town and Machang's 2nd Town forcibly advanced, and there were only 30,000 troops from all over the place who came to Beijing." Bei Shoutong continued.

"A journey of 150 kilometers, plus the assembly time, it takes at least four days to arrive in Beijing, and it takes seven or eight days to wait for the first town outside the pass, which is enough for the airship to supply ammunition." Zhu Luhe also said.

"The Military Intelligence Bureau has also made plans to blow up the railways along the line before. Now there are more than 20 days left before the righteousness is taken, so there is enough time to arrange it." Liu Boyuan, who spoke at the end, was afraid that he had come up with this idea.

"You guys!" Yang Rui suddenly laughed. The railways connected to Tianjin were clearly stipulated in Article 9 of the Xinchou Treaty that "all countries... decide to stay troops to garrison to protect the Beijing-Sea channel without any cut off. However, the northern section of the Beijing-Han Railway connecting to Baoding was built by the Qing Dynasty, but the staff officers who were sitting there seemed to have no idea about this.

Yang Rui smiled, and Xie Zhangtai next to him said: "The section from the Beijing-Hankou Railway to Lugou Bridge to Baoding is China Railway. The Xinchou Treaty only stipulates that the transportation from Beijing to Tianjin should be smooth, but it does not say that the transportation from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan should be smooth."

China is obviously its own country, but it is really annoying to avoid treaties of all sizes when doing things. But at this critical moment, we have to look back and guard against foreigners taking the opportunity to attack. After listening to Xie Zhangtai's explanation, Bei Shoutong patted his head and said, "The matter will be resolved. Just keep the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, and all other railways will be blown up. In this way, the second town of Machang is that it is only one of its own, and it will be difficult to advance. When Baoding meets him in Tianjin, it will be three or four days later."

After Bei Shoutong finished speaking, Yang Rui no longer had time to deal with the railway bombing. The Military Intelligence Bureau knew the limits and the railway was ultimately own. It would be built if it was to bomb and repair it. It did not require complete damage. It could delay the Qing army for four or five days. After confirming the matter of bombing the railway, several issues were discussed. Everyone dispersed, leaving only Liu Boyuan reporting on the situation everywhere during this period.

"The petition organized by Yang Du failed again. A few days ago, he was imprisoned by Manchu customs. After bail, he was forcibly sent back to his hometown. A few days ago, he was arrested by Lei Fen and several members of parliament. A few days ago, Guangxu announced the list of cabinets. There were thirteen people in total, seven people in Manchu, of which four people were occupied. And the key positions were occupied by Manchu. Now all major newspapers say this is the royal cabinet." Liu Boyuan first talked about the situation in Beijing.

"Is it Wang Xiaolin who did it?" Yang Rui asked with a smile.

"It was planned by the Propaganda Department, but now newspapers are resentful that Guangxu deprives Congress of the country's rights, so as soon as the tabloids we control are published, the big newspapers from all over the country will immediately repost this term. Sir, Guangxu's public opinion is now very low." Liu Boyuan said.

"It's good to be very low!" Yang Rui said. "Now many people forget that they are Han people and only regard the Qing Dynasty as their masters. As for us, we don't ruin their masters. They are afraid they won't give up." Thinking that Guangxu was already a dead tiger, Yang Rui asked, "What are Yuan Shikai doing recently?"

"It's still fishing in Anyang like before. However, his aide Yang Shiqi would go to the British consulate in Tianjin from time to time. Some time ago, our people discovered that Zhang Yilin actually appeared in Tokyo." Speaking of Yuan Shikai, Liu Boyuan suddenly remembered an extremely important information.

"Oh! How could he go to Tokyo?" Yang Rui was very surprised, "Is it Yuan Shikai who wants to..."

"If Yuan Shikai wanted to cooperate with Tongmenghui, he would probably not be able to follow what Sun Wen did before." Liu Boyuan understood the grudge between Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai. His rumor almost made Yuan Shikai's head fall. "But it is very likely that he would make some deals with Tongmenghui."

"When did Zhang Yilin be in Tokyo?" Yang Rui asked in detail, "I met Song Jiaoren when I first arrived in Hong Kong. He probably just finished watching Huang Xing and was about to board the boat to return to Tokyo. Will they..."

"Sir, this is not enough time. Zhang Yilin returned to Shanghai not long after he arrived in Tokyo. If he had an appointment with Song Jiaoren, he would definitely wait in Tokyo." Liu Boyuan calculated the time in his heart and denied this possibility. "Now Song Jiaoren has secretly sneaked back to the Hankou Concession, saying that he would establish the Central Tongmenghui. But there are basically controlled by us, and there are few people who respond to him, so he is just running a newspaper now."

"Oh, Central Tongmenghui?" Yang Rui remembered that someone said that the Central Tongmenghui had to be done last year, but now it has finally started. He smiled and said, "It seems that the Tongmenghui has been divided."

"It's true. Guangzhou failed to make a move this time, and most of the elites of the Tongmenghui were exhausted, and overseas Chinese no longer supported them. Now Sun Wen had nowhere to go, so he went to Hongmen to find Huang Sande, and established a Hongmen Fundraising Bureau to specialize in fundraising," said Liu Boyuan. "In addition, there is news from the Hongmen that Sun Wen blamed the cause of Guangzhou's failure on our collusion with the Qing Dynasty."

"What!" Yang Rui was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, "He is going to find a way to go. In the past, he always said that there was no salary when he failed to perform righteousness. Guangzhou was enough. I heard that the houses in the Canadian court were mortgaged to the bank by him. If he dared to say that he failed to perform righteousness because of the shortage of salary, the people from the Hongmen would kill him. Alas, I think that Huang Sande was killed by Sun Wen. He is really willing to drive him."

"Sir, don't care about the Hongmen. Sun Wen just offered a price all over the place and could not be fulfilled at all. Huang Sande likes to listen to good things and always thinks that he can be the governor of Guangdong for success in the revolution. We even have to register the Hongmen in China according to the law, so he likes Sun Wen and does not like us." Liu Boyuan said.

Huang Sande is just a springboard for the revival meeting in the United States. The focus now is on Situ Meitang. After Yang Rui said that Huang Sande did not want to mention this person anymore. Instead, he was silent for a while and looked at Liu Boyuan's eyes and slowly said, "Yuan Shi, I have been revolutionizing with me for so many years. Do you believe me?"

The atmosphere in the room was very relaxed, but Yang Rui's words made the air solemn. Liu Boyuan stood up with a blushing face when he heard this, and said firmly: "I... Why don't I believe in sir?! I...Boyuan swears to be loyal to Mr.

"No! You don't need to be loyal to me," Yang Rui was happy and disappointed when he saw him. "What you want to be loyal to is this country and this nation. I just hope you believe me, even if I do something wrong, many times, such a wrong thing is a last resort. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand!" Liu Boyuan replied neatly, making Yang Rui not know whether it was true or false.

"Yu Zixun's side..." When he heard this name, Liu Boyuan's scalp was numb, and then he heard Yang Rui say, "Anyway, I feel that he has changed a different person. He has been in the United States for six years. Six years is enough to change a person. Let your people start to investigate him comprehensively from now on, investigate who he has contacted, what he has done, etc. But... he is a member of the association after all, and doing this violates the association rules, so your people cannot do it too obviously. Investigate everything without being discovered. I would rather be slower and not be anxious!"
Chapter completed!
