After the three-day visit, the East China government and the revolutionaries formally held talks. Qin Zheng, who represented the East China government, accompanied by Xia Simin; and six representatives attended the revolutionaries. After all, such formal talks were impossible for everyone to attend, so no one else, including two Japanese, could participate in the talks.

After the two sides met, they sat down separately. Qin Zheng said first: "You have been visiting Qingdao for three days. I don't know what you think of Qingdao, so you might as well talk about it."

Huang Xing said: "These three days have indeed opened our eyes. If we Chinese can all be as promising as ours, the day of our rise will probably be just around the corner."

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Mr. Huang is too rewarding."

At this time, Chen Tianhua said: "Speaker Qin, I have a question I want to ask you. It was on the first day. I hope Mr. Qin can answer it for me."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "As long as I can answer it, I will try my best to answer Mr. Chen."

Chen Tianhua said: "You can build warships, army, and weapons. Why don't you raise the flag and revolt immediately and overthrow the Qing court? Moreover, with the reputation of the nobles, as long as the righteous flag is raised and the arms are raised, it will be a national response. Those who follow will be overthrown. It is easy to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the people will be relieved from the fire and rescue China from danger. It is all in the thought of the nobles."

Qin Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, it's not that I boasted, nor does it take a national response. It's just that with the current strength of our East China government, if we raise the flag and revolt now, it will take only one month at most to invade Beijing and overthrow the Qing court."

Chen Tianhua slapped his high-high and said, "Okay, since that's the case, why do you still have to be silly with the Qing court? You must know that the Qing court is the first detriment of China now. Therefore, China is backward. It is the fault of the Qing court. As long as the Qing court is not destroyed, China will never have peace."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "I don't know if Mr. Chen has ever thought about it. After we invaded Beijing and overthrew the Qing court, what should we do?"

Chen Tianhua was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer. He always aimed at overthrowing the Qing court's rule as his highest goal, but he never thought about what to do after overthrowing the Qing court? After a while, Chen Tianhua said: "If the Qing court is overthrown, our country will naturally be peaceful, and then we can work hard to govern and enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Qin Zheng sighed secretly in his heart. In fact, this is also a common problem for revolutionaries of this era. He only thought about how to overthrow the Qing court, but he never thought about what to do after overthrow the Qing court. In the eyes of the revolutionaries, the Qing court is the culprit of China's backward, corrupt and incompetent nature. Therefore, as long as the Qing court is overthrown, everything can be solved, and China can automatically move towards civilization, enlightenment, and prosperity.

But Qin Zheng knew that things were not that simple and easy. There was enough experience in the old time and space to show that the second day of the revolution was the most difficult. The reason why Sun Yat-sen was able to become the revolutionary leader of this era was that he was half a step ahead of the general revolutionaries, and could think about what to do after overthrowing the Qing court and put forward the concept of the Three Principles of the People. But he was only half a step ahead because he lacked a comprehensive action plan and objective conditions.

Qin Zheng said: "Mr. Chen, please forgive me for your frankness. I think you think the problem is too simple. Even if we capture Beijing, it does not mean that the Qing court has overthrew the Qing court. After we capture Beijing, there will be two situations. One is that the Qing court fled before we capture Beijing, fled to Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, and even the south. This is very likely, because during the Gengzi State, the Qing court did this. Then the Qing court can recruit other local officials to serve the king.

Fight with us; secondly, the Qing court had no time to escape and was eliminated by us, but local officials in the south of the Qing court either united to launch a common ruler, or each separatist and become one side. But no matter which possibility is, foreign forces will inevitably take the opportunity to intervene, or directly intervene with armed forces, or even invade, or support agents to work hard for them. But in short, China will fall into a full-scale civil strife. This is probably not the result Mr. Chen hopes to see."

Chen Tianhua stayed for a while before saying, "I'm afraid I won't be able to reach this point. Now the Qing Dynasty has already lost all its heart. Even if it fled to the south, it may not have made great achievements. Local officials may not obey the Qing Dynasty's lives. During the Gengzi Reform, didn't the local officials in the south come up with mutual protection in the Southeast and no longer obey the orders of the Qing court?"

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "It is true that the Qing court has lost all its heart, but the centipede worm will die without being stiff. The Qing court has been established for more than 260 years, and its remaining power is still there. Although during the Gengzi Rebellion, local officials in the south set up a Southeast mutual protection, but it was just to avoid the Boxer Rebellion, and it was not really rebelling against the Qing court. Moreover, after the Qing court fled to Xi'an, local officials sent envoys to greet him to show that they still surrendered to the court. It can be seen that the Qing court still has its own strength and local officials may not abandon it easily."

Huang Xing said: "Since you are sure to conquer Beijing, even if the Qing court fled to the south, what's the fear? You can directly lead your troops south and unify the whole country."

Qin Zheng said: "You can't say that. I dare to boast that it is because Shandong is connected to Hebei and is close to Beijing. We still have a place in Tianjin. Once we launch it, we will inevitably go straight to Beijing with lightning speed and decisive momentum. The south is far from Shandong and the Yangtze River is divided. Therefore, whether the Qing court fled to the south or not, as long as it becomes a stalemate between the north and the south, it will be a protracted battle. The competition is comprehensive strength. We only have Shandong now, and our East China government has not been established for a long time and the accumulated materials are limited. At present, we can only control several provinces in North China at most, and it is not to unify the country immediately."

Huang Xing was silent after hearing this. After all, he studied military affairs. Of course, he knew that fighting was actually a logistics. In the final analysis, war was still a competition of comprehensive strength. Now the East China government only occupies a land in Shandong Province, so it is indeed a bit difficult for them to require them to have the strength to fight against the whole country.

At this time, Chen Tianhua said again: "So when do you plan to raise the flag to fight against the Qing Dynasty?"

Qin Zheng said: "At least there needs to be enough development time to wait until our economic strength reaches a war that is sufficient to support the unified nationwide." After a pause, Qin Zheng said: "And now Japan and Russia are fighting in the northeast of our country. Foreign enemies are in progress, and it is not the time for us to launch our righteousness."

This sentence touched Huang Xing's thoughts. The reason why he embarked on the road of revolution was that Russia invaded the Northeast and organized the Russian volunteer army to resist the Russians, but was disbanded by the Qing court. Huang Xingcai was completely disappointed with the Qing court and changed to advocate revolution. But now Russia is still in the East District and has not left, and another Japan comes. Both sides fight with the Northeast as the battlefield. In the end, no matter who wins and who loses, it is probably difficult for Northeast to return to China. Therefore, Qin Zheng said that foreign enemies are in the face of Huang Xing's feelings.

Huang Xing immediately said: "So, your people have any plans for the battle between Japan and Russia for our Northeast?"

Qin Zheng said: "Of course there are plans. I believe you have also seen the statement issued by our East China government. We will do our best to safeguard the national territory. However, we still have a lot of preparations yet. On the first day of our visit, we saw the warships launched in the water. We built this Northeast. In addition, you also saw that many warships are still under construction. Therefore, after we are ready, we will definitely take action."

Huang Xing said: "Two years ago, I formed a volunteer army that resisted Russia because Russia occupied our northeast. I originally wanted to go to the northeast to fight with Russia. If you really could fight to protect our northeast, I would be willing to form a volunteer army again and do your best."

After hearing this, Chen Tianhua immediately said: "Brother Keqiang (Huang Xing's name is Keqiang) If he really forms a volunteer army, I am not talented and I am the first to sign up." Several other people also expressed their willingness to join the Volunteer Army organized by Huang Xing.

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Everyone is willing to help. Of course, we welcome each other. If we unite, we will be strong, and if we divide, we will be weak. As long as all of us Chinese are united, united and united, there will be no invincible enemy. However, although your courage is commendable, war is not a joke, and it is not a win with just one passion. Although Mr. Huang has learned military affairs, he has not been in actual combat. Others are probably even laymen. Therefore, I think if you really want to contribute to the country and defend the Northeast, you might as well join the People's Army. First receive a period of military training and master certain military skills. We will then arrange each person's tasks and positions according to their abilities and specialties. I wonder what you think?"

The others were also thoughtful when they heard this. Huang Xing was quite eager to try and agreed on the spot. However, they also thought that he would come to Qingdao on behalf of Huaxing, so he would not go there forever. Moreover, there were still many companions waiting for him in Japan, so he became a little hesitant. When the others saw that Huang Xing did not express their opinions, they did not express their opinions.

After a while, Huang Xing said: "Speaker Qin, there are still many companions in Japan. They all want to serve the country. Therefore, after thinking about returning to Japan first and discussing with their companions, I hope to motivate my companions, work together to serve the country together, how about it?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Of course, and this is also due. We welcome more revolutionaries. Moreover, our preparations will take some time, so we still have time to welcome them at any time."

At this time, Xu Xilin said: "Speaker Qin, when I was in my hometown, I also heard about the deeds of yourselves. He admired the feat of defeating the Eight-Nation Alliance. However, I also heard that under the rule of yourselves, all the land would be confiscated. Is this true?"

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, this is true."

Xu Xilin was also a little surprised because he thought Qin Zheng would always argue for himself, such as the army needed food and wages and could not do it, but he did not expect that Qin Zheng had no argument at all and admitted it directly, so he asked again: "So why do you do this?"
