Chapter 93: Questions come

Although Wu Shaoting's words revealed a bit of distrust, everyone present understood that this issue was a very real problem. The mass base seemed to be very inclined to revolution, but what the specific situation looked like and how many people could confirm the response once the uprising was uprising.

Of course, Wu Shaoting's words were not simply inquiry. He was more reminding the revolutionaries not to take things too naturally. Those so-called "revolutionary patriots" may not really have the courage to revolution. What kind of effect is not the final say of the revolutionary party.

"Zhen, this is the first meeting to plan the Guangzhou New Army Uprising. The questions you mentioned are also the content of our early movement work in the future. How many people can respond to this uprising depends on the effectiveness of our early work. But don't worry, revolutionary patriots are everywhere, and once guided, they will definitely come out bravely." Liao Zhongkai said confidently.

Wu Shaoting sighed secretly, and after talking, it was still a lot of empty talk. He deeply felt that this planning of the Guangzhou New Army Uprising would not have any good results, but no matter what, since the people have arrived, the planning of this uprising will still go to the end. As Liao Zhongkai said, whether more people can be helped to participate in the uprising depends on the early movement work.

"Do you have any good opinions on this uprising operation?" Liao Zhongkai looked around everyone present and asked with great anticipation. This meeting was originally a meeting to discuss the action plan. Only when the action plan was established can it be implemented step by step.

"First of all, we need to consider the core force of this uprising. Since it is a new army uprising, the work of instigating the new army in the early stage is very important. Secondly, the line of action, how should we launch an attack, what is the purpose of the attack? Then predict the consequences, what should we do after success, and what should we do after unfortunate failure." Huang Xing pulled out his pipe from his mouth and slowly said this with the smoke.

He is a senior uprisinger. He has participated in various uprisings in recent years, and can be said to be one of the more people present. Therefore, he knew how to plan the framework for the uprising. He just needed to open his mouth and formulated the general direction very simply and clearly.

"What Keqiang said is. Then our first step is naturally to support it. Zhenzhi is now the chief instructor of the first target of the 24 towns. He must have an advantage in the new army soldiers. Then the new army will be handed over to Zhenzhi to preside over, and Ni Duan will cooperate with you with all his strength." Liao Zhongkai's eyes fell on Wu Shaoting, and he said this in an orderly tone.

Wu Shaoting nodded slowly but didn't say anything. He didn't know how he should express his opinion. If he promised faithfully, he would not be sure; if he didn't agree, he would make the revolutionaries present blame him. Now he can only do his best and do as much as he can.

"As for the People's Association, Comrade Li Fulin has been able to confirm that the organization of 500 people responded, but these 500 people lack weapons and equipment. Jiamei (Guan Renfu), you can contact Huang Mingtang, Wang Heshun and others at that time to see if they can help some arms. You will prepare the strength of the People's Association." Liao Zhongkai turned to Guan Renfu and said.

Guan Renfu frowned, his face very embarrassed, and he didn't reply for a while.

When Liao Zhongkai saw this, he asked, "Jiamei, are there any difficulties?"

Guan Renfu sighed and was about to speak, but he felt that it was a little inconvenient, so he finally stopped talking.

Everyone present was confused and wondered why.

At this time, Huang Xing knocked his pipe on the corner of the table, filling in new tobacco lines, and said quietly: "Jiamei, Mingtang, and Shoushan (Wang Heshun's name), they all have people under them, but they are as short of guns and weapons as Li Fulin. They can't even help themselves, so how can they come to Zhou Ji and Li Fulin?"

When Wu Shaoting listened to Huang Xing's words, he really felt that Huang Xing was a pragmatic man. He knew all about the situation of the Revolutionary Army and the Party, and he did not seem to be talking nonsense at all. However, he also knew that Huang Xing was a tragic figure and the armed actions he led had basically never won. But if Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen were compared, the former would definitely do much more practical things, which is worth appreciating.

Li Fulin, Guan Renfu, Huang Mingtang and Wang Heshun, these four people are representatives of local forces in the association. Of course, Guan Renfu and Huang Mingtang have more revolutionary discipline, and the ominous Li Fulin and Wang Heshun are so casual.

After listening to Huang Xing's words, Liao Zhongkai finally understood why Guan Renfu was so embarrassed.

He nodded deeply and murmured: "So, we still need to prepare some arms in the early stage."

Hu Hanmin looked at Wu Shaoting and asked, "Shocking, can the new army get some military supplies?"

Wu Shaoting looked at Hu Hanmin with some surprise. Is Hu Hanmin planning to steal a batch of weapons from the army to use for the members of the Communist Party? He sighed and said, "If the military supplies you mentioned refer to food and grass, then I still have a way."

He paused and said, "But these things are not within my responsibilities. The standard configuration of each soldier in the twenty-four towns is a rifle and ten bullets in non-wartime, and artillery and cavalry are similar. The military officers in each battalion also have a small number of spare bullets, but it is far from enough. More arms are stored in the Yuexiu Military Depot and Xinjiao Military Depot. If you want to extract arms from the military depot during non-wartime, you must go through three procedures."

"Each soldier only has ten bullets? How could it be enough during the uprising?" Zou Lu was a literati and didn't know what was happening in the army. He asked with some concern.

"Haha, Mr. Haibin, there are a lot of ten bullets. One soldier has ten bullets, and one thousand soldiers will have ten thousand bullets. As long as it is operated properly, it is still okay to capture the arsenal and other key positions during the uprising." Wu Shaoting said with a smile.

"Zhenzhi is right. Many times the war is not as intense as imagined. During the Hekou Uprising in the first half of the year, I only fired twelve bullets in three days." Huang Xing nodded and said.

"So that's it. I, a scholar, make you laugh." Zou Lu smiled with a self-deprecating smile.

Liao Zhongkai calmed down and said, "So before the operation, it seems that we need to purchase another batch of arms. Mr. Tan, the name is Fei. You are responsible for purchasing the batch of arms in July. Can you ensure that the arms mission of this operation is completed?"

Tan Renfeng smiled teasingly and said, "The key is still the problem of money."

Chen Jiongming, who was sitting next to Huang Xing, nodded in agreement and sighed: "Last time we bought forty quick guns from the French, the foreigner deliberately blackmailed us, which was almost twice the price of the black market before. Now things like arms are so popular, even in the black market, there is a price but no market."

Mo Jipeng snorted coldly, breathed a sigh of relief to the ground, and said, "I hate the French devils, what's the matter? Not to mention the price, I agreed to be five thousand bullets, but in the end, I lost one thousand. I turned around and refused to admit the account when I went to the foreign devils, and threatened to go to the government to expose us."

Liao Zhongkai's face was dark, and it seemed that things were not easy to handle. He looked at Tan Renfeng and asked, "Mr. Tan, how much money can you raise in three months?"

Tan Renfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I can't say anything now, so I can only do my best. Go back and contact Yutang and let him mobilize Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong. In three months, he should be able to raise a sum of money. But if it's still spending money to buy arms like last time, it would be too stupid."

Wu Shaoting noticed the man "Yutang" that Tan Renfeng mentioned. He guessed in his heart that it was the legendary revolutionary industrialist Li Yutang? The tenth ** will not be wrong. There is a movie called "October Siege", and the prototype of the Li Yutang in it is actually this Li Yutang.

Liao Zhongkai nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, our revolutionary funds are hard-won, and we can't make the same mistake anymore. We have a name, and you can't find a way to contact some reliable arms merchants, not seeking much affordability, but seeking no waste."

Mo Jipeng suddenly said, "Mr. Liao, I know a comprador who works in Standard Chartered Bank. He is a Chinese. I have contacted him. This person is still very thoughtful. Foreign banks often do some business in buying and selling arms. I think we can use this comprador to see if he can help us purchase a batch of fairly priced arms."

Liao Zhongkai showed a little joy on his face and asked quickly: "Is this person reliable?"

Mo Jipeng said: "He is a young man, and I think he should have the potential to revolution. I will further contact him and will definitely win him over to help us in this operation."

When Wu Shaoting heard this, he wanted to ask the young man's name. Because according to Mo Jipeng's description, the other party was a comprador of Standard Chartered Bank, a Chinese, or a young man. Why is this very similar to that big traitor Chen Lianbo? But in the end he still held back. If it was really Chen Lianbo, how could he help the Tongmenghui!

In the afternoon, everyone mainly discussed their respective division of labor.

In addition to the above-mentioned people, Liao Zhongkai also asked Zou Lu and Wang Zhaoming to be responsible for the preliminary publicity work, drafted some articles that were conducive to revolutionary operations, and used various channels to create a revolutionary atmosphere in Guangzhou.

It was almost evening and the first meeting was finally over.
