Chapter 12 One pot raw rice

There was a man named Liu Housheng.He is an effective staff member of Zhang Jian, the "No. 1 businessman" in Nantong.Everyone said that the "Edict of the Qing Emperor's Abdication" was drafted by Zhang Jian, but some people said that the last sentence was added by Liu Housheng.That sentence is "Wouldn't it be nice for the emperor to retreat to a leisurely place, enjoy the years, receive the preferential gifts from the people, and see the completion of Zhizhi?" But with the addition, it seems that the mother and son of the Qing emperor put the world first, and did not care about the gains and losses of the throne, and they nailed the preferential treatment clauses promised by the Republic of China, which is very beautiful.This person is a character.

In his "Biography of Zhang Jian", Liu Housheng discussed Jiangsu's status in Xinhai, saying: "In terms of the status of the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jiangsu is more important than Zhejiang. We will examine the date of independence of each province and infer its influence. The Wuhan Uprising is August 19th in the old calendar, and the independence of Soviet Union and Shanghai is the date of the old calendar. September 14. During this 25-day period, the provinces claiming to be independent were only the four provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, and Shansi. Among them, since the independence of Shanghai and Suzhou on September 14th, and the 5th of September 19th, as many as 14 provinces have declared independence across the country. The fate of the government's overthrow is set, and the importance of Suzhou Province is a fact that no one can deny."

He believes that the importance of Suzhou and Shanghai is partly due to the location and partly due to the people.The so-called "district" refers to "Su Province is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Jinjiang River leads the sea, controls the northern and southern oceans, and is the center of national culture and economy." Taking Shanghai as the starting point. Although the Revolution of 1911 broke out in Wuhan, if there were no successive independence of Shanghai and Suzhou to appeal to the whole country, the elimination of the Qing regime would not be easy."

The "human" factor is because the Soviet Union and Shanghai are independent, and the official-business-revolutionary party is united, which is very different from other places that rely entirely on the new army party. "After the independence of Suzhou, Cheng Dequan, the governor of Suzhou, was supported as the governor, setting a precedent for other provinces." And "Zhang Jian, the chairman of the Suzhou Provincial Consultative Bureau, is especially highly regarded by the whole country. After the independence of Suzhou Province, Zhang Jian led the telegrams to all provinces. , and to Inner and Inner Mongolia, asking them to support the republic, the influence is enormous, incredible."Of course, these words are set up for the biography and advocates to comment on the merits, but they are also to the point.The demise of the Qing Dynasty was not what Zhang Jian wanted, but the constitutional faction headed by Zhang Jian played a key role in how the Qing Dynasty died and how the Republic of China came to be.

The opportunity for Southeast independence actually started in Shanghai.Shanghai is the largest commercial port in China, and also the most chaotic and free magic city.The so-called "adventurer's paradise" does not only belong to those high-nosed and blue-eyed people who sailed across the ocean to make a fortune in China. Revolutionaries have also been operating in Shanghai for many years, and the concession here protects all ambitious people. There are three main forces in the recovery of Shanghai: the Death Squad of the Recovery Society is mainly in charge of Zhabei, where the uprising police from the Patrol General Administration are responding, and the business groups are cooperating in the operation; The death squads of the League will be the main force, supplemented by business groups.

In fact, Shanghai's administrative rank in the Qing Empire was not high, and the highest officer was just a "Su Song Tai Bing Dao" (of course, the most fat Daotai lack in the world), and he could not garrison troops.In a sense, this is the "Yichang" abandoned by the court.Naturally, Shanghai's economic and strategic status is obvious, but the imperial court couldn't control it, so it had to let it go.So all forces compete on an equal basis here, and the concession authorities don't care as long as there is no trouble.The recovery of Shanghai is the recovery of the Chinese community, basically only related to the police department, business groups, and the revolutionary party.

The attack on the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was not for the recovery of Shanghai itself.Although there were many guns in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the Qing government had no troops to send in Shanghai, so they could only dispatch troops from Suzhou or Nanjing to encircle and suppress them. Given the general situation at the time, the two places were too busy to take care of themselves, and it was impossible to do so.The attack on the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was because it was reported that five ships loaded with munitions would set off from Wusongkou and head straight for Wuchang.Therefore, the capture of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was to rescue Wuchang, which was the leader of the uprising.

The area around the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is the sphere of influence of the Restoration Association. The previous efforts of the Shanghai Restoration Association headed by Li Xiehe were quite effective. They contacted the police for the uprising and contacted the Wusong Fort.After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, most of the garrisons that took over were the Hunan Army. Li Xie and himself were from Hunan, so they took advantage of it.Li Yuanhong of Wuchang also appointed Li as "recruit envoy in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River". The Tongmenghui came in abruptly.Chen Qimei, who was born in a pawnshop, confronted head-on. While contacting the merchant group, she repeatedly contacted the Police Department, Wusong Fort, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.His strategy is to pay more for sports, how much will be paid for the recovery, I will pay twice as much as them, several times more!Moreover, the Qinghong Gang in Shanghai was under the control of Chen Qimei, and the non-commissioned officers who returned from Japan, such as Zhang Qun and Chiang Kai-shek, also supported Chen, and the power of the Tongmenghui gradually rose.

The date of the uprising on September 13 (November 3) was proposed by Chen Qimei and negotiated with Li Ping, the leader of the business group.Li Xiehe was very dissatisfied when he learned about it later.Starting from Li Pingshu's heart, he definitely doesn't want to be the rafter.On the one hand, the business group was still worried that the Qing court would mobilize troops from Suzhou and Nanjing to attack. On the other hand, the Jiangsu merchants headed by Zhang Jian were also very powerful in Shanghai.Of course, Li Pingshu hopes that Suzhou and Hangzhou will become independent first, and Shanghai will follow suit, which will be much more logical.

Li Pingshu himself was promoted by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but Zhang Shiheng (Chu Bao), the chief executive of the Manufacturing Bureau, refused to listen to his words to join forces, so he had to organize an attack.However, on the morning of September 13th, Zhabei had already been restored. Zhang Shiheng heard the news and stepped up his guard. "Set up a six-meter row of cannons by the riverside, set up water machine guns at the main entrances, and set up small steel cannons at the gates." The merchant group only had long guns. As for the pistols, the death squads of the League only had 40 rifles lent by the business group, and a few homemade bombs. How to fight?

There is a very popular legend in Shanghai: The Restoration Society has paid a high price to buy off the internal agents in the manufacturing bureau. When the time comes to attack here, the internal agents will cooperate with the outside, and the manufacturing bureau will be at your fingertips.It's a pity that the middleman who contacted the insiders of the manufacturing bureau was a liar. He took the money from the Restoration Society and didn't do anything. Is there any reason to attack Ah? The business group opened to the manufacturing bureau and did not attack at the beginning.Chen Qimei, who had no plan to participate in the attack, suddenly stood up, claiming that he would persuade the guarding army without bloodshed—it is estimated that the alliance will contact the defending army privately, just waiting for Chen Qimei to make her debut at this time. Xie and. It turned out badly. "Chen Qimei made a speech to Zhang Chubao's army. The army thought that he was neither Shen Enfu nor Li Pingshu, ignored him, and dragged him in by surprise. The outside wanted to release the inside, but the inside didn't let him go; the outside wanted to release him. Offensive, the inside said, 'Never mind!'" (Jia Suxiang) Some people also said that Chen Qimei took the initiative to see Zhang Chubao to persuade him to surrender, but Li Pingshu couldn't explain it, so why did Chen Qimei dare to take the risk? Then attack.The death squad led by Liu Fubiao rushed in, and a row of empty guns was placed inside. The death squad continued to rush forward and dropped two soil bombs.The defenders fired back with live ammunition, and the Death Squad died one and wounded two, and retreated with a crash.People from the business group made up for it, and it fell into a stalemate again. The deadlock was broken because the chief executive, Zhang Shiheng, ran away.Now we watch history like watching a movie, of course we know that the business group and death squads have nothing to do with the manufacturing bureau, but Zhang Shiheng doesn't know that, in the ears of the old bureaucrats at that time, the revolutionary party was almost all supernatural desperadoes.Now that Zhabei has fallen, Liu Yanyi of the Shanghai Daotai, Tian Baorong, the county magistrate of Shanghai, and Yao Jiexun, the head of the patrol police, have also fled into the concession.What can Zhang Shiheng, a general manager who has never been in battle, do? Moreover, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is so-so in war, and its economic means are very powerful.Reported by my subordinates: At 5 o'clock in the morning on the 14th, a certain chamber of commerce in Shanghai has offered a reward: "If anyone captures Zhang Chubao and solves the city, he will be rewarded with 5,000 yuan." The group refreshed the reward: "If someone arrests Zhang Chubao and brings him to the association, he will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan in silver." What should I do if I go to receive the reward? As soon as he ran, there was no leader in the manufacturing bureau.But the defenders still devoted themselves to their duties and refused to surrender. When the revolutionaries in Zhabei heard about this, they also sent people to support them.But I kept hitting until dawn, but I still couldn't get in, and I changed to the back door, but I couldn't get in either.There was a small shop near the Manufacturing Bureau. The owner of the shop suggested: "If you can't get in, just burn it!" Donated more than a dozen cans of kerosene, at this time a characteristic of Shanghai Guangfu came out: actors. Actors like Pan Yueqiao and Wang Zhongsheng had kung fu, so they jumped in through the back door and set fire to it.When the fire came together, the guards were in chaos, and the manufacturing bureau was captured.Huang Yiou, Huang Xing's son, said that "some comrades dug a hole under the west wall of the manufacturing bureau, stuffed it with explosives, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and a big gap was blown open", and everyone rushed in. Yang Zhenyi, Chief of Staff of the Restoration Army, said differently: He said that the Restoration Society had indeed contacted some defenders of the Manufacturing Bureau, but Chen Qimei heard the news, and in order to gain credit, he contacted the merchant group alone and attacked the Manufacturing Bureau in advance, "But they didn't They understood the slogan of our liaison with the new army, and as soon as they broke in, they were defeated and Chen Qimei was captured."Later, Li Xiehe led the recovery army to help, and then the inside and the outside cooperated to lay down the manufacturing situation. It seems that how the Jiangnan General Manufacturing Bureau was captured, just like who burned the Zhaojialou on May 4th, has become an unsolved case that differs from person to person. In any case, Chen Qimei miscalculated. After the manufacturing bureau was captured, the comrades found Chen with great difficulty.His image in front of the crowd was a bit embarrassing: "I saw him sitting on a bench with his hands and feet in shackles, his head pressed against the wall, and he remained silent. Looking at it, it turned out that his braids were cut from the newly cut wall. Kong was pulled out of the room, and there was an iron hook hanging on the beam outside the room, and the braids of his hair were tied tightly to it, so he didn’t move at all.” In a place like Shanghai, a power vacuum is absolutely not allowed for too long, not to mention that there have been rumors that the North sent two warships to attack Shanghai, so the next day Li Pingshu called the local self-government chambers of commerce, business groups, and firefighting associations in the Coastal Defense Department. The Department meets to elect the government.For some reason, no one attended Li Xiehe's recovery meeting, and the only attendee who had some relationship with Li Xiehe was the Shanghai Army Patrol Battalion stationed in Pudong Guandaizhangbaowen—this makes people have doubts about Li Pingshu's position. Civil affairs are easy to handle. Li Pingshu, Wang Yiting, Mu Shuzhai, and Wu Huaijiu are all formerly in charge of Shanghai Autonomy, so they should continue to be in charge.As for the military government, someone proposed that Li Pingshu's nephew Li Yingshi should be the governor, and Chen Qimei should be the military and political chief.However, Chen Qimei jumped out his brother Huang Yu: "In terms of merit, Comrade Chen Qimei took the lead in rushing into the manufacturing bureau and made the first contribution! The governor must be him!" There was an uproar in the venue.Huang Yu simply took out the pistol: "Who dares to disagree?" Except for the members of the alliance, no one agrees.Shanghai is such a big place, why let a pawnbroker be the governor?Besides, Chen Qimei is from Huzhou, Zhejiang, and the people from Huzhou come to control Ala from Shanghai, what a joke! You have a pistol, don't we?People in military uniforms are starting to draw their guns, and the gangster movie is about to be staged. Suddenly a person jumped onto the table: "Mr. Chen suffered a lot yesterday, and it is unfair to give him a military and political chief now! Whoever refuses to accept him as the governor, I will throw the bomb, and everyone will die together!" He really had a bomb in his hand.It was Liu Fubiao, leader of the Death Squad of the Tongmenghui. This is too outrageous!Where have Wang Yiting, Shen Manyun and other local gentry seen this before, half out of anger, half out of fear, they stood up and walked out, shouting angrily: "Chen Qimei robbed the governor!" "Liu Fubiao threw bombs!" The people and guards who didn't know what happened outside also became confused.Li Pingshu had no choice but to announce the adjournment of the meeting. The Tongmenghui doesn’t care whether you leave the meeting or not. As soon as the meeting is over, a notice signed by "Shanghai Military Governor Chen Qimei" has been posted all over the banks of the Huangpu River.It seems that this notice was printed before the attack on the Manufacturing Bureau. However, the Restoration Council cannot remain silent.Li Pingshu hurried to the Ruijun Academy, the headquarters of the Restoration Association, to persuade Li Xiehe.The head of the chamber of commerce still hopes to calm things down as much as possible: "Today's matter, the overall situation is the most important thing. How about it? May you have a word." The Guangfu members who were present were also very dissatisfied. "Some people advocated that Li Xiehe should come forward and change the notice. Some people advocated the arrest of Chen Qimei for the crime of violating the order and usurping the name."Li Xiehe definitely didn't want to bear this tone.But the Tongmenghui seized the name first, and once the Restoration Society took action, it became a provocation.And today's meeting has not been notified by our side, and now that Li Pingshu has come to persuade us to make peace, it seems that the chamber of commerce is mostly on Chen Qimei's side.I can't bear this tone, but I have to bear it. Li Xiehe agreed to relinquish the post of governor of the Shanghai Army, but asked Chen Qimei to allocate huge sums of money to reward the uprising military and police.This is of course not a problem.However, Li Xiehe was still unwilling to listen to orders under Chen Qimei's command. It happened that Wusong Fortress was persuaded by the Restoration Society to revolt, and Wusong police chief Huang Hanxiang was a fellow villager. Li Xiehe simply moved there and became the governor of Wusong Army Branch.In this way, together with Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu in Suzhou, within five hundred miles, there are three governors. "Rooting the governor" is a scene of Xinhai.It happened in almost all the provinces after the recovery. When there was an injustice, officials were set up because of people, and the courts were divided into courts, or internal fires broke out, leading to bloody cases.Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hunan are all like this. However, Chen Qimei's ambitions are even greater, and he will not be satisfied with the position of a commander of the Shanghai Army. Not long after Li Xiehe took office in Wu Song, he was assassinated at the station. The assassin fired a gun from the car window and killed Li's bodyguard.Everyone knows who the instigator is.Not long after, Chen Qimei sent a certain "white minister" from the Youth Gang to Li Xiehe and asked Li to cancel the military government branch.Li had no choice but to back down again, and on the condition that the Manufacturing Bureau provided guns, he established the Wusong Military Government Sub-Government as the headquarters of the Restoration Army. Chen Qimei is good at using the methods of the Qinghong Gang.Zhou Nankai, a member of the alliance, was only a middle-level employee in the concession, but he had a family friend Jiang Guoliang, who was the commander of the patrol battalion and the chief officer of the Wusong Fort.After the Wuchang Uprising, Chen Qimei went to him to persuade his family friend Jiang Guoliang to go anyway.Chen Qimei told Zhou Nanxin: Jiang Guoliang has already received a sum of money from the Liberation Association, but it doesn't matter, the League can still pay more sports fees.However, we must pay attention to three points: (1) Do not let Jiang know about the relationship between the Tongmenghui and the Restoration Society; (2) Jiang must fully accept the dispatch and command of the Tongmenghui;At this time, Chen Qimei was already making arrangements to compete with the Liberation Society and control Shanghai after Liberation. When Zhou Nanxin left, Chen Qimei caught up and whispered to Zhou, "Nong, don't be timid. If Jiang doesn't listen, it's up to Chen Guang. Let's get rid of Yi!" Fortunately, Jiang Guoliang was more cooperative, and after Li Xiehe arrived in Wusong, Chen Qimei repeatedly asked Zhou Nankai to contact Jiang Guoliang, intending to use the power of Wusong Fort to "solve" the recovery meeting by force.Jiang Guoliang did not agree this time. After the recovery of Shanghai, the finances were quite tight. Li Pingshu, the chief of civil affairs, tried his best to get 300,000 taels of silver, but it was still not enough.Chen Qimei took the idea of ​​Shanghai Bank of Great Qing.However, Song Hanzhang, the president of the Bank of Great Qing, was in the concession, so he didn't buy Chen Qimei's account at all. Chen Qimei can really care about it, and found such an opportunity: Song Hanzhang went to eat at the Xiaowanliutang opened by Wu Zhiying one day. The Xiaowanliutang is close to the Suzhou Creek, so he must choose the water pavilion with the best location to entertain President Song.The Suzhou Creek happens to be the boundary between Huayang and Huayang.Chen Qimei actually sent a small steamer from the Huangpu River into Suzhou Creek to go straight to Xiaowanliutang, then went up from the water pavilion, dragged Song Hanzhang into the small steamer, and imprisoned him in the governor's mansion. Doesn't this count as arresting people from the concession?The Shanghai consuls of various countries did not think so. They found Wu Tingfang and asked him to ask for someone from the "revolutionary party government" (the consuls of various countries have not used the "Shanghai Military Commander's Office" to call the new Shanghai regime).Wu Tingfang had no choice but to negotiate with Chen Qimei. The result was that the Bank of Great Qing stopped sending the funds to the north, and Chen Qimei released them.After Song Hanzhang came out, in order to commemorate the suffering, he also printed a copy of "Wu Gongping Fa Ji" at his own expense, and gave it away everywhere in Shanghai and Beijing.Chen Qimei's reputation as a rogue governor was immediately established. At this time, there is a good thing about the recovery meeting: Zhang Taiyan and Tao Chengzhang came to Shanghai from Japan and Nanyang respectively.The people of the Restoration Association were so excited that Qian Jibo later wrote "Records of the Restoration of South of the Yangtze River in 1911", commenting on the two of them as follows: "Binglin is well-known for his literature, the leader of the Guangfu Society, but the scholars are ignorant; Cheng Zhang is wise and able to win the crowd, and he really influences them. Tao Chengzhang of the Guangfu Society is like Huang Xing of the Tongmeng Society. Binglin is not enough. When Sun Wen's general outline is general, Cheng Zhang is better than Huang Xing's light hair and more failures; Huang Xing may not be loyal to Sun Wen, but Cheng Zhang is really dedicated to Bing Lin... The uprising princes, each good at their own place to organize the government, The order is not unified. Chengzhang worried that it was lax and undisciplined, and said that Binglin took unity as the title of the world, and Li Yuanhong, Cheng Dequan, Tang Shouqian, Song Jiaoren, Zhang Jian, and Xiong Xiling organized the Federation of the Republic of China and changed it to unity party." If Tao Chengzhang's plan is successful, I'm afraid not only Chen Qimei's status in Shanghai is in question, but even the leadership position of the entire Tongmenghui in the Chinese revolution will be shaken.Therefore, some people have always said that Chen Qimei's assassination of Tao was instigated by Sun Wen and Huang Xing, or at least acquiesced.Especially for the post of governor of Zhejiang, Tao Chengzhang was suggested to take up the position when Hangzhou was restored. The Tongmenghui was weaker in Zhejiang than in Jiangsu, but Chen Qimei supported Tang Shouqian, a constitutionalist, to contain Tao Chengzhang.After the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government, Tang Shouqian was appointed as the Chief of Communications, and the Zhejiang side proposed Tao Chengzhang as the post, and a telegram was made public saying: "Mr. Zheyi is like the Great Wall, and I am in charge of Zhejiang affairs. Who else is not Mr.?" Become a reminder.The day when the telegram appeared in the newspaper was when Tao Chengzhang was assassinated. Chen Qimei ordered Chiang Kai-shek to assassinate Tao Chengzhang in Guangci Hospital at 2 am on January 14, 1912.At that time, there had been rumors in Shanghai for many days that "Chen Yingshi was going to assassinate Tao Huanqing".Tao Chengzhang changed several hotels because of this, and he also chose a very secluded hospital for recuperation.However, according to Zhang Taiyan's recounting, Tao Chengzhang did receive a warning passed on and on: "Don't be too troublesome, take Tao Junbao as an example if you are too troublesome." Tao Junbao is a member of the Restoration Association and an officer of the town army.Eight days before the founding of the Republic of China, this Tao was shot dead by Chen Qimei in the lobby of the Dudu Mansion without a military court trial on the charge of "intercepting the ammunition transported from Shanghai to Yuhuatai during the attack on Yuhuatai in Jiuzhen".Afterwards, the Restoration Council raised various questions, but Chen Qimei refused to answer them. After Tao Chengzhang was assassinated, Sun and Huang called Chen Qimei respectively, requesting "severe arrests". Huang Xing also asked Chen Qimei to "try to protect Mr. Zhang Taiyan." The assassination party went south to assassinate important people in the Republic of China, or one of them.” Zhang Taiyan obviously regards these claims as ill-intentioned smokescreens.He immediately wrote a public letter and published it in the "Great Republic Daily", denouncing Huang Xing, "Since Tao's death, Huang Xing immediately sent a telegram to Chen Qimei, who was protecting Zhang Taiyan. Seeing the telegram, I knew that the friends of the two parties were traitors, and it has been sent." Going up to the crown", and said that this kind of ghost domain trick "but it can be practiced in the native places of Nanyang, how can it be used in the Yangzijiang River Basin? Assassination is the same as that of thieves. Get rid of the domain of rats and dogs stealing. Keqiang uses this to scare people, but instead makes his party fall into the name of obscenity and despicableness."Some people say that Zhang Taiyan escaped the danger of becoming the next Tao Chengzhang with this embarrassing public letter. After Chiang Kai-shek completed this great event for his brother Chen Qimei, he was chased and killed by the Restoration Society. After his partner Wang Zhuqing was burned to death by the Restoration Society, he was forced to flee to Japan to escape.Later, when Chiang Kai-shek came to power, he wrote the history of 1911 with imperial literati, often calling Tao Chengzhang a "fake revolution". The Liberation Association of the Tongmenghui has been in conflict since then. Zhang Taiyan later wrote an elegiac couplet at the Sichuan Army Martyrs Memorial: "A group of thieves and dogs steal, and the dead don't rest in peace; this place is full of tigers and dragons, the ancients' false words!" The intention is clear and unmistakable. However, as Qian Jibo said: "Chengzhang died, Binglin lost his mastermind, and Xiehe had no support, so the Restoration Society was helpless! In the restoration of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Restoration Society made a lot of contributions; and the Tongmenghui envied him Concealing himself, the thieves are sinister, and ordered the assassins to hand over to Qulu. Binglin sent a letter to Sun Wen, and ignored it!... Binglin just talked empty words, the recovery will decline and decline, and the alliance will prosper in the world. " The recovery of Shanghai was achieved through the joint efforts of the business group, the Guangfu Association, and the Tongmenghui, but in the end it became Chen Qimei's sole enjoyment.This grandfather is too domineering, and the people of Shanghai are very dissatisfied with him.It is widely rumored that Chen Qimei was easily arrested when he attacked the manufacturing bureau that day. He imitated the saying of the former Qing officials' qualifications as "two-ranked Jinshi" and called him "one-ranked (tied) governor". If you change your true character as a hero, it is said that you will suffer from a bayberry sore!Also known as "Yangmei Dudu". Seeds must bear fruit.Shanghai Guangfu's pot of raw rice, after a year or two, people can taste the taste.Li Xiehe went north to seek a job after the Wusong military branch was abolished, and was soon recruited by Yuan Shikai and became one of the "Six Gentlemen of the Chou Anhui".In the second revolution, Chen Qimei attacked the manufacturing bureau again. "Business groups, chambers of commerce, and local people did not participate. The first attack on the manufacturing bureau, everyone did not flee; the second attack on the manufacturing bureau, everyone knew that they would fail, and fled one after another. Chen Qimei failed in one hit." How could Chen Qimei's strength be compared with Xinhai this time?But there was no way, Li Pingshu contacted Wu Tingfang in 1911, and he was able to persuade the concession authorities to ignore the revolutionary party's actions; after Chen Qimei's attack on the manufacturing bureau failed in 1913, the concession authorities immediately disarmed Chen.The power of the chamber of commerce in Shanghai is really very important.
