After Tao Chengzhang left Shanghai for Southeast Asia, the actual activities of the Shanghai Restoration Society were controlled by Li Binhe. He had an assassination group under him, which was the Jianghu Society Organization.

Li Binhe was a close confidant of Tao Chengzhang, and they had always been inseparable from the Tongmenghui. Therefore, when Chen Qimei, Liu Yufang and other members of the Tongmenghui arrived in Shanghai, Li Binhe and other former members of the Guangfuhui would not sway their accounts.

It is very difficult to start a society without manpower.

Liu Yufang founded a Ruijing Society on Pingjili Road in the French Concession, which ran schools and provided training, made friends through literature, and recruited members.

Chen Qimei's methods were even more extraordinary. He knew a senior student studying in Japan. This person graduated from the Tokyo Army Military Academy a few years ago and is currently the commander of the Qing government's new army stationed in Shanghai.

Through the introduction of this senior, Chen Qimei became a member of Xiangtang, the helmsman of the Shanghai Youth Gang, "Fan Gaotou", and became the "big" brother of the Shanghai Youth Gang.

You must know that in the 31st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the three giants of the Shanghai Youth Gang, Huang Huangrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin, had not yet formed a stronghold.

At that time, Huang Huangrong was working as a plainclothes detective in the patrol room of the French Concession, and he was not yet the Chinese chief detective.

His seniority in the Qinggang was just the "tong" generation, one generation younger than Chen Qimei.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the seniority of the Shanghai Youth Gang was dominated by Da Tongwujue.

Chen Qimei now has the status of a "big" member of the Qing Gang, and almost all of his organizations are composed of Qing Gang brothers. In less than half a year, he completely suppressed Li Binhe's power.

Judging from Liu Yufang's description, Chen Tianhua already understood that Tao Chengzhang's Liberation Society forces on Shanghai Beach were almost non-existent now.

Those gangs were either merged by the Tongmenghui or wiped out by Chen Qimei's Green Gang.

"Sister Yufang, you and Brother Yingshi have not contacted us for more than half a year after returning to China. This is so unkind." Chen Tianhua still couldn't help but sneered at the other party.

"As for the interruption of contact with you and Qianhua, this is a disciplinary requirement within the club, and we had no choice at the time." Faced with Chen Tianhua's question, Liu Yufang said calmly:

"After we joined the Guangfuhui, of course, the secrets of the party and society were involved. Qianhua's father was the provincial inspector and the commander of Zhejiang New Army Town. And you later became the fourth-rank commander. According to the rules of the association, we can only

Temporarily disconnecting."

"But why did you suddenly think of contacting me this time?" Chen Tianhua asked, chasing after him.

"Actually, Yingshi, I, and Mr. He Qing still have great trust in you, and you are also the target of our party. However, Tao Chengzhang and his subordinates Li Binhe and others are more extreme and think that you are all members of the Qing regime.

defenders and targets of the revolution, so we can only let it go first."

"Now, Tao Chengzhang has left Shanghai on his own initiative, and Li Binhe has also been expelled from Shanghai. Mr. He Qing also agreed that I should contact you first. It just so happened that your subordinates took the initiative to hand over the appointment message, and I made an appointment with you.

Meet here."

Oh, that's it.

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Heqing, you and Brother Yingshi for trusting me and Qianhua. In fact, I agree with the theme and purpose of your hall organization. There may be some differences in certain behaviors and thinking.

There are differences, but it does not affect our sympathy for the revolution and our approval of the revolution, especially when the brotherhood between teachers and students is in front of us. It is impossible for us to do anything that goes against our own conscience." Chen Tianhua made a confession, but there was still some emotion in his words.

"Hua Zhi, please don't be excited. Justice and personal relationships are very important in the community hall. Please forgive me in this regard." Liu Yufang hurriedly put her hands down in order to calm Chen Tianhua's mood.

In fact, Liu Yufang does not need to explain this truth. Chen Tianhua understands very well that justice and personal feelings are the most basic tests for a revolutionary.

Why does he speak with emotion? This is to pave the way for subsequent exchanges and negotiations.

"Hey Huazhi, why do you want to meet and negotiate with Huo Shan this time?" After narrating the opening remarks for a long time, Liu Yufang finally spoke and returned to the original destination.

They had analyzed in advance that since Chen Tianhua asked for Huo Shan, it was obviously because of his smelting skills.

But they still have some doubts about what kind of steel smelting it is, but one thing is certain, the Alliance is very willing to cooperate with Chen Tianhua.

On the one hand, you can learn more about the industry he is currently engaged in, and on the other hand, you can obtain more resources for the Tongmenghui's future uprising to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.

"Hey, it's such a thing..."

There was no need for Chen Tianhua to hide this from Liu Yufang, so he told the Hanyang Gun Factory from beginning to end the difficulties faced by the Hanyang Gun Factory in replicating weapons and using special steel-tungsten steel.

Although Liu Yufang didn't know much about smelting, she understood that imitation guns would be a qualitative leap for the entire country's defense capabilities. For revolutionaries, this arsenal was crucial.

Because many organizations under the Tongmenghui will need guns, ammunition, and even artillery in the future.

"This kind of thing is conducive to strengthening the country and the army and improving national defense strength. As a revolutionary group, we must actively support it. I will hold a meeting to discuss this matter immediately when I get back. I think Mr. Yingshi and Mr. Heqing will definitely agree." Liu Yufang immediately expressed her position with a smile.

.

She was already thinking about how to seize this arsenal, which was the largest and most powerful arsenal in the Qing Dynasty in the future.

To seize such an arsenal, it is heavily guarded and difficult to capture without internal support.

An arsenal like this is especially precious to the revolutionary party, which is strapped for funds. It is best to take over the arsenal peacefully. Otherwise, destroying the machinery and equipment will be a waste of time.

"Thank you so much. Sister Yufang's words made a stone fall in my heart. Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty. The next step is to discuss with Mr. Huo Shan in detail to see where Sister Yufang thinks the arrangement should be.

It should be appropriate.”

Chen Tianhua first expressed his gratitude, and then discussed the specific matters of cooperation between the two parties. This requires a suitable place, and Red Sleeve Bookstore is obviously not suitable.

"Okay, let's talk tomorrow afternoon in my Ruijing Publishing House in the French Concession. It's quiet and safe there."

"Then it's settled, I'll be there on time at two o'clock in the afternoon." Chen Tianhua replied happily.

"It's okay Hua Zhi, but I want to tell you, if you go to Ruijing Bookstore tomorrow, you don't need to set up so many security posts outside." Liu Yufang said lightly.

Chen Tianhua blushed, hurriedly cupped his fists and apologized:

"This time it was very abrupt. I didn't know that the person coming was Sister Yufang. Her subordinates were reckless and offended me. Please forgive me!"

Mingzhen and Yu Feng were doing this kind of sentry work, so they had less security work and lacked experience. On the contrary, they were clearly seen by Liu Yufang and the others, and they felt a little ashamed.

"It's nothing this time. Just be careful next time and don't alert the authorities. Shanghai is full of snoops and spies."
