Deng Kai did not know who Xia Simin was, but he was very serious about the history of this era. He knew that at this time Dr. Sun was establishing the Xingzhonghui in Japan and formally proposed the idea of ​​overthrowing the Qing court by force, promoting the revolution, recruiting comrades, and discussing with the royalist association led by Kang Youwei. He also planned to launch an armed uprising in China and unifying the major revolutionary party organizations in Japan. Therefore, the Xingzhonghui was in a hot spot. The Tang Caichang, who was just mentioned by Xia Simin, was originally a believer of Kang Youwei, advocated reform and improvement. He met Dr. Sun in Japan, and was influenced by him and changed his course and tended to revolution, so he returned to China to launch an uprising.

Xia Simin's thoughts were obviously inclined to revolution, so Deng Kai estimated that it would be impossible for him to have contact with Xingzhong during his time in Japan. According to Xia Simin's statement, he and Dr. Sun obviously established a certain friendship, otherwise Dr. Sun would not have invited him to join the Xingzhong Association. This was much better than Deng Kai expected. It seems that Xia Simin should be useful to the East China government.

Of course, the East China government does not want to establish any friendship and cooperation with Dr. Sun or Xingzhong, but in this era, this is something that cannot be avoided. The East China government will sooner or later have contact with Dr. Sun, and Xia Simin can undoubtedly play a big role in this, because if necessary, the East China government can actively contact Xingzhong through Xia Simin. However, how to use the Xia Simin line and maximize the interests of the East China government is not a problem that Deng Kai considers. What Deng Kai needs to do is to report this matter truthfully to the Military Commission and then convey it to the Executive Yuan.

So Deng Kai said: "Okay, we will report to our superiors truthfully about your affairs and Li Zhuangyong's handling, and we will decide what to do with it. During this period, you can stay in the military camp with peace of mind."

After saying that, Deng Kai and Luo Yue left together and arranged personnel to prepare some food and change clothes for them, and the injured personnel were also well treated.

Three days later, the Jinan garrison received a joint response from the Executive Yuan and the Military Commission, first of all, inviting Xia Sigong to Qingdao. The senior officials of the East China government hoped and carried out his answer. However, Li Zhuangyong's handling was somewhat surprising. He was lighter in his defection and allowed him to join the People's Army and made meritorious service. He also accepted the surrender of this group of uprising soldiers and reorganized the uprising army under the principle of voluntary voluntary. Those who are willing to continue to join the army can stay for training, while those who are unwilling to join the army can also arrange work for them and settle in Shandong. Those who want to leave can also pay travel expenses.

However, this group of rebel soldiers will not be dispersed into the various armies, but will be formed as an army and will not stay in Shandong for a long time. When appropriate, the army will be sent to Henan, Shanxi and other places to avoid new bases.

It turned out that after receiving the report from the Jinan garrison, senior officials of the East China government immediately began to study and discuss.

Deng Kai didn't know who Xia Siben was, but Qin Zheng, who was familiar with history, knew that although this person's weight in history was not as good as a big shot like Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai, and Dr. Sun, he was by no means insignificant.

In the old time and space, Xia Sigong was a well-known revolutionary activist. His life almost ran through the entire semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of old China. In order to save the people from dire straits and save the country's fortunes in the storm, almost all of his life was spent in the revolution. He planned to participate in the anti-Qing and later anti-Yuan uprisings several times, and had friendship with most famous revolutionaries of this era, such as Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, and Cai E. Moreover, because Xia Sigong was older and engaged in revolution was the earliest, other revolutionaries respected him as a teacher. Even Dr. Sun respected him as a "Teacher Xia" in front of Xia Sigong, and respected him as a "revolutionary model" after Xia Sigong's death.

Overall, although Xia Sigong had a high revolutionary qualification, he was relatively marginalized among the revolutionaries at that time, mainly because he did not have a fixed team. Although he later joined the Tongmenghui and followed Dr. Sun's revolution, he never entered Dr. Sun's core team. Therefore, his reputation was not well received after his death. Before traveling through time, except for historians, ordinary people did not know this revolutionary ancestor.

Such a person is of course useful to the East China government. Although the East China government does not intend to cooperate with Xingzhonghui, to be honest, the East China government does not look down on the strength of Xingzhonghui at all. Because Dr. Sun is just a revolutionary with some reputation overseas, with only a few hundred followers, and there is no actual territory and fixed funding. Even the activity funds have to be donated, and there is indeed no bargaining chip to cooperate with the East China government. After all, the time travelers are respected by the founding father in the old time and space, not the current Sun Dapao. Of course, in this era, Dr. Sun probably has no chance to become the founding father.

But this does not mean that the East China government and the Xingzhonghui cannot establish a certain relationship. After all, the Xingzhonghui is overseas, and it still has a considerable influence among the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, because most of the members of the Xingzhonghui are overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and the activity funds are basically obtained through donations from the overseas Chinese in Nanyang. This is the greatest value of the Xingzhonghui to the East China government at present. The East China government can use the influence of the Xingzhonghui among overseas Chinese in Nanyang to gradually establish its own network of relations in Nanyang.

Nanyang is of course important to the East China government. At present, the East China government needs Nanyang rubber, oil, mineral resources and other commodities, and now it can only be repurchased in Shanghai. This not only adds a transfer expense, but is also completely subject to others. However, if the East China government can establish trade relations with Nanyang merchants and import directly from the Nanyang region, it will not only save costs, but also have much greater autonomy.

Secondly, what attracts the East China government is the wealth of overseas Chinese. Although overseas Chinese in the South China Sea have been jointly suppressed by Western colonists and local indigenous people, and have been suppressed by China, and have been unimaginable in China, the tenacity and tenacity of the Chinese nation is unimaginable. After hundreds of years of accumulation, a group of wealthy people have been produced among overseas Chinese in the South China Sea, and a large amount of wealth has been accumulated. The East China government hopes to attract them to invest in Shandong and accelerate economic development. Moreover, most of these overseas Chinese have a broad vision and a certain international perspective, which is the investors needed by the East China government.

From a long-term perspective, Nanyang is China's backyard, which is of great importance to China in terms of geopolitics. Therefore, once the time travelers seized the Chinese regime, they will definitely expand to the South Ocean and incorporate the South Ocean into China's sphere of influence. Although this may be a long time later, it does not prevent the time travelers from setting up their points in the South Ocean from now on. First of all, of course, it will start from economic exchanges and strengthen their ties with the South Ocean. Now we can start this work.

So the Executive Yuan finally decided to invite Xia Simin to go to the leaders of Qingdao and the East China government to meet, and decide the strategy based on the results of the talks between the two sides. And even if it is not successful, it will not suffer any losses to the East China government.

In addition to Xia Siben, it was the handling of Li Zhuangyong and the handling of the rebel army. In fact, it was a long time ago that the decision had been reached to incorporate the rebel army into the People's Army. However, Xia Bohai proposed a new idea, which was to use this army to use the Red Army model in the old time and space to avoid new bases outside Shandong Province and expand the strength of the East China government.

Although the time travelers have basically gained a foothold in Shandong now, relying solely on Shandong Province is obviously not enough for the development of the time travelers. Moreover, after the Qingzhou incident, although the time travelers have not completely broken up with the Qingting, they are not much different. The two sides are only one layer of paper away from the complete division, so the time travelers cannot do anything to prevent the complete division. In addition, even if the two sides continue to maintain this fragile relationship and do not break, the Qingzhou incident will not give up and will definitely use other means to deal with the East China government. Although it is not very likely to completely shake the East China government's rule in Shandong, it can also interfere with the development process of the East China government.

Of course, the East China government cannot respond passively. On the contrary, it should take the initiative to avoid new bases outside Shandong. This will not only expand the strength of the East China government, but also form mutual support and arrangements with Shandong, but also restrain the attention of the Qing court and play a supporting role.

According to Xia Bohai's preliminary vision, the East China government will not invest too much manpower and material resources in the new base area, and will also be cleared from the surface. In terms of personnel, the group of rebel soldiers who fled to Shandong will be the main ones. The East China government is responsible for reorganizing and training them and providing a certain number of weapons and ammunition. After the operation begins, the East China government will only send a small number of crossers and local personnel from Shandong to lead the organization and command the operations. After avoiding the new base area, it will recruit troops on the spot and establish an administrative system.

The new base area adopts the Red Army model in the old time and space, surrounds the cities with the countryside. First of all, it is not in a hurry to capture the cities, but is based on the countryside. Every time you arrive in a village, you will immediately carry out land reforms to win the support of the vast number of farmers. This will not stimulate the Qing court too much, and it may be too late after the Qing court reacts, and the new base area has become a climate.

After Xia Bohai's idea was proposed, it immediately received support from many people, but some people opposed it. Some people believed that the East China government wanted to clear the relationship with the new base on the surface, just to cover up the bell, because the weapons and ammunition in the new base basically depended on the East China government for supply, so it is difficult to cover it up over time, and the Qing court will sooner or later find out.
