Chapter 570: Travel to Wuzhou

When we arrived at Neijiang Wharf, three inland speedboats had been prepared here. Everyone got on the speedboat in batches and left the wharf in a few minutes and headed west along the Pearl River.

Song Jiaoren and Wu Shaoting were on the same speedboat, and they looked restless from the beginning of getting on the boat. After a while, he finally couldn't help but turn around and said to Wu Shaoting, "Zhenzhi, it's really inappropriate for you to speak to Mr. Zhongkai like that in the morning. Mr. Zhongkai was also helping the consultation meeting. He did not do anything wrong. Why don't you think of old feelings?"

Wu Shaoting glanced at Song Jiaoren. He thought that Song Jiaoren had fought for the leadership of Sun Yat-sen in the past, and should have been very clear that there were no 100% revolutionary patriots nowadays, but now it seems that Song Jiaoren still has the kindness of a woman. He said lukewarmly without expression on his face: "Fisherman, as long as Mr. Zhongkai does not talk about the Chinese Revolutionary Party, I will definitely not say that. Mr. Sun ignored the interests of the Chinese Revolutionary Party and established another Chinese Revolutionary Party in Japan, which had hurt many people at that time. Chen Qimei was a member of the Chinese Revolutionary Party. After his incident, I didn't hear that Mr. Sun had removed his party membership and did not even have an explanation. You say, how could I believe in the Chinese Revolutionary Party?"

Song Jiaoren sighed. He felt that what Wu Shaoting said was reasonable, but he still had some feelings that could not be let go. He said again: "Zhenzhi, what you said is true. Chen Yingshi should be taken seriously. Mr. Sun should also give an explanation. But Mr. Zhongkai's words are not without reason. Now it is a major event that determines the fate of the country. The success or failure of the north and the south of the country is here. After all, Mr. Sun and the Chinese Revolutionary Party are old-fashioned revolutionary organizations and still have a considerable influence in the country. Now we may let go of our prejudices first, focus on managing the current consultation meeting, and give Beiyang a severe blow."

Wu Shaoting's face remained unchanged, and his tone became a little colder. He said: "Brother Fisherman, you are a purposeful and principled person. For our country and nation, and for the sake of republic, you can give everything without reservation, including personal grievances and political opinions. I admire this very much, so I said that Song Xunchu, the only one in China, is a true revolutionary patriot. But have you ever thought that sometimes this kind of sentiment seems eager to achieve success?"

Song Jiaoren was still very moved when he heard Wu Shaoting's first half of the sentence. Wu Shaoting not only made a very high evaluation of himself, but more importantly, he truly understood himself. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was a little confused and immediately said: "Maybe you are right, I am indeed eager to achieve success sometimes. But I am sure that this time is not. The impact of the Southern Governors' Consultation Conference on China is unpredictable. It is not easy to take this step, and it is even more difficult to take this step. Don't you want to have more chances of winning?"

Wu Shaoting really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He wanted to tell Song Jiaoren that it was because of the existence of the Chinese Revolutionary Party that the chances of victory were more difficult to figure out. If Liao Zhongkai did not come today, the Chinese Revolutionary Party would still just send telegrams and waving flags and shouting in writing articles, everything would be much smoother.

"Fisherman, I have been hiding some of the words for a long time, but I don't want to ruin your revolutionary beliefs after you know it. Do you remember the assassination case in Shanghai four years ago? You were shot first and then bombarded. Do you really think this matter is that simple?" He took a deep breath and said in a very calm and unbearable tone.

"Why did you suddenly mention this?" Song Jiaoren's face changed drastically. He looked at Wu Shaoting in disbelief. He really didn't want Wu Shaoting to say what he least wanted to hear in the next words.

Wu Shaoting was silent for a while, staring at Song Jiaoren's surprised face. He didn't know whether he should say it.

"Zhenzhi, why? You don't think this matter is related to... Mr. Sun?" After waiting for a while, Song Jiaoren couldn't help but ask.

"Oh... forget it, let's not say this anymore. Fisherman, now we are on the way to Wuzhou, no matter how you speak for Mr. Zhongkai, it will be useless. To borrow what you said before, we should take care of the work at hand." Wu Shaoting did not continue to say it in the end.

"Oh, why are you..." Song Jiaoren was a little annoyed, but he did not continue to ask. He knew that Wu Shaoting was never a mother-in-law's mother. He only said half of his words today, and it must be a reason for it. But even so, he was still feeling uneasy at this moment. He was not a fool. Wu Shaoting's half of the words were enough to explain the problem. He didn't know whether he should believe it, but Wu Shaoting had no need to make up such a serious lie to deal with him.

As for the evidence... Perhaps it is precisely because Wu Shaoting has no evidence that he did not say it!

He couldn't help sighing, his expression gradually became a little dazed, and his eyes were scattered outside the speedboat window. He gradually began to understand why Wu Shaoting said that he was the real revolutionary patriot in China. It seemed that "revolution" was really not what he imagined! How should we continue to move forward?

In the evening, the speedboat arrived at Wuzhou Port, and Deng Keng and other provincial governors were present to welcome him.

Since last month, Wuzhou has gradually become lively, and the momentum of the consultation meeting has caused a lot of controversy. The previous delegations and guards of the provincial governors entered the city one after another, and all kinds of military uniforms were included. You can encounter big-headed soldiers who pass like windmills when you walk around the streets. The people of Wuzhou were originally worried that if so many soldiers gathered in the city, there would be unexpected conflicts? Fortunately, the guards of the provincial governors were all elite troops, and their quality was not bad, not to mention that people from other provinces were watching, and they could not lose their face.

Not long after, Wuzhou City recovered from the shadow of worry. Now the city is actively engaged in business with these people from other provinces, including specialties and snacks. Especially in the few days before the governors of various provinces arrived, the guards and delegations seemed comfortable after finishing their official duties, and eating, drinking and having fun everywhere in the city is also a good thing for the military and civilians to have fun together.

At this time, at least four guards were present on the shore, including Guangdong soldiers wearing combat vests and khaki uniforms, soldiers of the 37th Division of the indigo blue ***, and soldiers of the Yunnan soldiers in the tanochron uniforms and soldiers of the Guizhou soldiers. There were also some Sichuan soldiers next to them, and their uniforms were also yellow-brown, but they looked darker than those of the Yunnan soldiers and Guizhou soldiers. I don’t know if it was really a difference or because it was too old.

Wu Shaoting got off the ship, Deng Keng, Chen Jiongming and Wei Rutong stepped forward to report first.

The 37th Division was stationed in eastern and western Guangzhou, and its sphere of influence covered Wuzhou. Therefore, the defense work of this consultation meeting naturally fell on Wei Rutong.

Wu Shaoting shook hands with the three of them one by one and said, "Thank you for your hard work"! Although they are all their own people, they have been busy a few days ago and always have to say what they encouraged.

After seeing his subordinates, the welcoming commissioners from other provincial governors followed closely behind.

Tang Jiyao sent his capable general Long Yun, a figure in the Republic of China who launched a coup in the future to overthrow Tang Jiyao and succeeded as the "King of Yunnan", is still just a young man in his twenties. He just graduated from the Yunnan martial arts lecture hall last year and was deeply involved in Tang Jiyao. He was specially transferred to his side to serve as the captain of the guards.

In Guizhou, Liu Xianshi's younger brother Liu Xianyu came forward personally. Liu Xianshi is a famous "smiling tiger". He took advantage of the Great Revolution to seize the power of the Guizhou military government. It is necessary to say that his younger brother inherited the strength of the Liu family. Although his appearance is not Kong Wu, he has a kind of momentum in every move and wording.

Xiong Kewu, Sichuan sent Yu Jitang, one of the nine-man regiments, and was also the deputy chief of staff of the Sichuan Army. Although this time Wu Shaoting and Yu Jitang met for the first time, the two sides still had a lot of connections before. Since the Second Revolution two years ago, Yu Jitang has been serving as a liaison hub with Guangdong. Whether it was Zhu Zhixin, Wang Changling's visit to Sichuan to support Xiong Kewu, or his future telegram exchanges, he was responsible for his full-time presidency.

In addition, Liu Zhenhuan asked his only chief of staff Li Wenbo to come to the scene. After the fall of Guilin, his previous subordinates surrendered and fled, and there were not many people around him to call. Only Li Wenbo has been following his right hand unswervingly. Now even if he wants to send others, he can do nothing. Yang Ximin also sent his adjutant to come, but he did not see Lu Rongting's greeting commissioner.

Wu Shaoting was not so petty, not to mention that the reason why these supervisors mobilized people to send people to greet him was that in addition to giving him face, he also made a special trip to greet Cai E. He first asked everyone, chatted a few simple words, and then asked Cai E to come forward to accept everyone's greeting.

Everyone was more or less enthusiastic about Cai E, especially Long Yun, who almost respected Cai E like an idol in the eyes of this young guard captain.

I didn't stay in the port for long, and it was getting late, and everyone got on the bus and went to the place where they were staying.

Although the places where the governors of each province were arranged by Guangdong, they made corresponding adjustments after sending their respective advance delegations to arrive. The governors did not move in together, and each had their own places. However, tonight was the first time they gathered before the conference was held, and it was necessary to meet them formally first.

Deng Keng booked the Wuzhou Jiang'an Hotel, and there were guards from the governors of various provinces inside and outside. Tonight, all important figures will come here to share a dinner and meet each other first.

Wu Shaoting, Cai E and other participants from Guangdong were arranged to stay at the Wuzhou Government Hall. They first came to the government hall from the port, took a moment to organize and rest, and then went to the Jiang'an Hotel.
