: Plan and move

Wu Shaoting washed his face in the dormitory, then blew out the oil lamp, and lay on the bed thinking for a while. After almost an hour, he took out his pocket watch and walked into the window to take a look under the moonlight. It was already ten o'clock. Although he was very tired now and the remaining energy of alcohol had not yet been eliminated, he had no sleep at all.

Immediately, he jumped up from the bed, then quietly opened the door and slipped out.

The military camp was very quiet late at night, and it was the late winter season, and the patrol soldiers had not received the cotton clothes, so the frequency of patrols suddenly decreased a lot. Wu Shaoting easily left the dormitory courtyard and walked through the western suburbs to the dormitory directly at the Army Yamen.

He came to the door of Ni Duan's dormitory and knocked on the door gently.

Ni Duan was always very alert, so he would wake up even if he heard a faint sound while sleeping. The person he guessed must be a comrade from the Tongmenghui, otherwise he would not be so mysterious. He got up and opened the door for a crack. Seeing Wu Shaoting who was looking around vigilantly, he quickly opened the door and let him in.

"What happened?" Ni Duan asked quickly.

"It's bad now. I've told Zhan Tang and Mr. Zhongkai a long time ago that Chen Lianbai can't believe it." Wu Shaoting was depressed for so long because he had not yet calmed down and said irritably.

"Are you talking about the fake foreigner who helped buy arms?" Ni Duan was not familiar with Chen Lianbai. Although the army yamen had contacts with Chen Lianbai from time to time, he didn't like such a foreign slave the most, so he never had an in-depth understanding.

"It's him. He betrayed the Tongmenghui and will take action as soon as tomorrow, and no matter how late it is, it will not exceed the day after tomorrow. Anyway, we must notify the comrades immediately, and those who need to transfer should be transferred quickly." Wu Shaoting said seriously.

"So quickly? This is a bad thing." Ni Duan was surprised. His face immediately became anxious. It's so late now, and the city gate has long been closed. How should we go into the city?

He was silent for a moment and asked Wu Shaoting again: "Are you really sure?"

Wu Shaoting snorted and said impatiently: "Do you think I came over to come to you so late to joke with you? We will go to the general's house for dinner tonight, and Chen Lianbai told the general about this in front of me."

Ni Duan clenched his fist and wanted to hit the table hard, but he was afraid that the sound would affect the left and right sides of the dormitory, so he could only wave it in void.

Wu Shaoting asked, "You can't send this message now?"

Ni Duan shook his head and said depressedly: "It's so late, so I can't let me swagger and call the city gate. If it's summer, I can just swim through the river mouth."

Wu Shaoting smiled bitterly and said, "Wandering over the river mouth, the narrowest section of the river is also 300 meters! Are there any telegrams for comrades? We can send messages with telegrams."

"How can telegrams be available at will! Even if there is one, they may not be open at this time. It is not feasible." Ni Duan said helplessly.

"There must be a way. We can't wait like this!" Wu Shaoting said in a deep voice.

Ni Duan sighed and said worriedly: "Nothing is useful now!"

Wu Shaoting pondered for a moment. Now he had to make a choice, or he would die this time. After a long time, he said slowly: "You'd better pack everything first and notify the comrades in the camp. If the situation is wrong, run away quickly."

Ni Duan was very unwilling to accept that he had escaped from Jiangxi to Guangzhou. Now he finally came to usher in a large-scale uprising, but it died like this, and his enthusiasm was completely destroyed. What a heavy blow. He gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Mr. Wu, why not let's revolt tomorrow."

Wu Shaoting was stunned. Ni Duan really thought of what he said. He immediately said: "There is no preparation work. Not to mention that the comrades are not mentally prepared. There is insufficient weapons and ammunition, no contact with foreign aid, and insufficient manpower. This is a way to seek death."

Ni Duan said solemnly: "I am willing to die for the revolution. Even though I know that it will fail, if I can use my blood to awaken more colleagues and promote the success of the next revolutionary uprising, I will die as much as possible."

Wu Shaoting had the heart to beat Ni Duan. Although he admired Ni Duan's spirit of sacrifice for the revolution, he hated making unnecessary sacrifices at any time. Sacrifice is needed, but it is definitely not the case! If the purpose of sacrifice is to awaken more revolutionary people, then the many failed uprisings in the past have already achieved their results.

Revolutionary patriots need to be fought for, but it is absolutely not worth it if a group of comrades who are determined to devote themselves to the revolution in exchange for another group of potential revolutionaries who are hesitant!

A major sacrifice can inspire people's hearts and can also intimidate people.

Too many failures will make many people unable to see the hope of revolution!

Wu Shaoting didn't want to ruin his life like this. The magnificent history has just begun, so he would never waste his great talents so easily.

"Ni Duan, have you ever thought that other comrades are willing to sacrifice like this? Do you know what is the most important thing about revolution? The most important thing about revolution is those who can revolution. If you die, all comrades will die, who will revolutionize?" Wu Shaoting asked in a serious tone.

"We are dead, and we can awaken more people!" Ni Duan said persistently.

"Okay, tell me how long it takes to cultivate a reliable revolutionary patriot. You are dead, I am dead, and all the comrades in the new army are dead. How long does it take for the Tongmenghui to develop these talents?" Wu Shaoting said in a heavy tone.

Ni Duan was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Wu Shaoting sighed and said earnestly: "What is sacrifice? Death when you die when you die, that is sacrifice. You said that we will revolt tomorrow, it will be a fucking death! I absolutely disagree."

Ni Duan wanted to refute something, but he couldn't say it when he was at the mouth, and finally turned into a sigh.

Wu Shaoting was silent for a while, continued to slow down his tone, and said, "Now I am the highest officer of the Tongmenghui in the army, I will issue an order. Just follow what I said, you should pack up your things first and try to keep it as simple as possible. Then notify other comrades in the army to prepare."

Ni Duan asked, "Is it really necessary to do this? But where should we go?"

Wu Shaoting thought for a while and said, "Go to Wuhan. Of course, I will not give up easily until the last moment. I will go to the city again tomorrow morning. If the patrol battalion and fire battalion have not started to take action, there will be hope."

Ni Duan nodded, and now that's all he can do, he said: "I hope things will turn around."

Wu Shaoting later talked with Ni Duan about some backup plans, mainly how to retreat after the matter was exposed.
