"If you want to pass messages to Huangpu, it is naturally Chun'an and Dashi the most convenient." Liu Zhang said to the point.

Wu Anping made this plan, but compared to others, his relationship with Zuo Chun'an and Shi Zhuangfei is not too close. It is better to discuss it together if he talks alone. He always thinks that this news is very important, but he can't make any mistakes in arranging arrangements for the two of them to do this and not do that, and should not inform who should keep the secret to whom.

When we get to this topic, we will be arranged quickly.

It was already late, and Wu Anping told Yue Xiangqing to pack a roast goose for each person, and everyone scattered their birds and beasts and turned around and waited for news. During the meeting, he found that a meal had 27 yuan, which was worth Wu Anping's half a month's salary. If he had not earned $350 today, he would not have dared to be corrupt like this if he had been killed.

He originally wanted to give each person dozens of dollars, but he was rejected as soon as he told Su Yuncheng. Well, you have developed and you have no problem eating yours and drinking yours, but no one has reached the point where he can't get it. If you have to get money, you can't argue, and you can't give it. That's not to look at people with a direct look. Wu Anping thought it was really that way, and he never mentioned it again if he scattered money.

There are some things to do in advance.

When Wu Anping went to work in Lihe Foreign Company, he told Luo Jiaming about the progress and hoped that Luo Jiaming could use the connections he had formed in the foreign company in recent years to cleverly explore the details of the Yang and Liu armament transactions. Although Luo Jiaming did not intend to abandon business and join the army, as long as the Chinese people with conscience in this era naturally sympathized with the revolution. Since he took the initiative to reveal the news, when he needed him to play a greater role, Luo Jiaming would certainly not refuse.

There was no news from Huangpu, and Luo Jiaming only took two days to investigate the arms transactions clearly.

Yang Xikuo, the Yunnan Army, and Liu Zhenhuan, the Gui Army, were responsible for prostitution, gambling, intercepting and deducting taxes in Guangzhou. They also did a lot of money every day. This time, they submitted a huge arms order to the three British foreign companies, Jardinet, Swire and Losley, which was very large.

In terms of firearms, there are 8,000 Enfield rifles with a caliber of 7.9 mm, 30 US dollars each, 400,000 rifle bullets, 5 US dollars per 100, and 150 Webley revolvers with a caliber of 11.18 mm, 25 US dollars each. In terms of artillery, there are ten 75 mm, 15,000 US dollars each, and 1,000 shells, 20 US dollars each. In addition, explosives and military optical equipment are also purchased, worth 20,000 US dollars.

The value of this arms order is nearly 500,000 US dollars, which is more than 2 million US dollars. Wu Anping doubted Yang and Liu paid the huge amount. Luo Jiaming said: "Based on Yang Xikuo and Liu Zhenhuan's family background, this money is not impossible to make up, but they will definitely not be able to afford such a large amount of capital. More than 2 million US dollars, the Yunnan Army and the Guangxi Army borrowed more than 1 million from the British foreign companies with some commercial tax in Guangzhou. Chen Jiongming paid 500,000 on behalf of the merchant group in the Guangzhou 300,000. They only need to get more than 100,000 arms each to get it."

"Chen Jiongming? Shang Group?" Wu Anping unconsciously scratched his head when he thought of the rebellion of the Shang Group in October last year and this year's Eastern Expedition: "It seems that they are unwilling to fail, and they want to counterattack with gritted teeth, but they are willing to make such a big bet on Yang and Liu."

Luo Jiaming sighed: "This time it was really dangerous. Chen Jiongming, the remnants of the business group ignored it, and the British were also making small moves. I heard from the people of the Pacific Foreign Company that next month, there will be an army camp and a marine warfare battalion transferred from Australia to the British Concession in Guangzhou. Their Pacific Foreign Company is responsible for the preliminary preparations."

Wu Anping said angrily: "Hmph, there is no good thing! If I want to say that I should join forces with the Guangdong Army to general Yang and Liu Saoping as soon as possible, and you must kill all such warlords. It will be a disaster for me to keep them sooner or later."

Luo Jiaming smiled bitterly: "Not as simple as you said..." and said: "I originally thought that this batch of arms would not arrive in Guangxi until June. Now the accurate news is from May 15th to 20th. In this way, if Yang Xikuo and Liu Zhenhuan really have to launch a rebellion, the time should be at the end of May and early June. The revolutionary government needs to prepare early."

Wu Anping nodded and said, "Look at what's going on in Huangpu."

On April 3, Zuo Chun'an and Shi Zhuangfei took two strangers to find Lihe Foreign Store.

It was Luo Jiaming who received it. He met Zuo Chun'an and Shi Zhuangfei, but when he saw the two of them following behind, he knew that the two strangers were extraordinary, so he became more careful in his words.

They were about to meet Wu Anping, but Wu Anping was counting the inventory of Warehouse No. 2 behind. Luo Jiaming took the three of them aside and brought coffee and tea, so he arranged for someone to go to the warehouse. After a while, Wu Anping came over, Luo Jiaming winked at him and then claimed the crime and left.

After introducing it, Wu Anping realized that these two strangers were of great origin. One was named Sun Jiliang, the secretary of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, and was directly led by Director Zhou Enlai, and the other was Ding Xihou, the section chief of the confidential bureau of the Party Department and the head of the Business and Government Department of the Revolutionary Government Intelligence Agency.

It turned out that after returning to Huangpu, Zuo Chun'an would report to the leaders of the political department. Director Zhou attached great importance to it when he learned about it, and immediately transferred the information to the confidential bureau of the Party Department. After two days of verification, the arms transaction was confirmed, but the inside story was not further clarified. Then he decided to meet Wu Anping to see if there would be any other gains.

After the Eastern Expedition began, the power of the Party’s Confederation Bureau in Guangzhou was weakened. Although the concession has always been a key area for intelligence work, because the establishment of the Confederation Bureau was not long and the tentacles had not yet reached the middle and senior management of major ocean banks, the arms transaction did not get any news. Therefore, after receiving information from the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, the Director of the Confederation Bureau and Deputy Director of the Party’s Confederation Bureau were shocked and sweated.

The revolutionary government had long foresaw the rebellion of Yang Xikuo of the Yunnan Army and Liu Zhenhuan of the Gui Army. Although it was difficult to take the initiative, it still did a lot of work. However, with this batch of arms, the balance of power between the two sides may change greatly. The originally set response plan must also be adjusted accordingly. How to adjust requires further intelligence analysis, and the confidential bureau must not pay attention to Wu Anping.

Sun Jiliang followed him for another reason.

As this batch of arms transactions surfaced, Wu Anping came into the sight of many people. The Political Department and the Confidential Bureau of the Party Department were very interested in him. When he learned that he was interested in applying for the third phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, Director Zhou asked Sun Jiliang to come and have some contact in advance to see how he prepared for the exam. This actually means that he had stepped into the Whampoa Military Academy with one foot. In the words of Director Zhou, it was "Whampoa looking forward to his joining."

After a moment of exchange, the details of the arms transaction were recorded by Ding Xihou.

Ding Xihou was very satisfied. This was what the Party’s confidential bureau asked for and it was unavailable. The information provided by Wu Anping saved them a lot of effort. Thinking of the former director’s explanation, he changed his tone: “Anping, our Party’s confidential bureau is short of people now, so why not join in too. I believe that with your ability, you can make a situation soon.”

Wu Anping repeatedly refused. He never thought of becoming an intelligence officer. Although there is no distinction between high and low work and everything he does is to contribute to the revolution, intelligence work is really not in line with his temper. He likes to listen to the roar of guns and advocates revolutionary violence. Whether it is the battalion commander, platoon leader or ordinary soldier, he is what he wants to be able to charge on the front line.

Seeing that his attitude was very firm, Ding Xihou stopped persuading each other. Wu Anping took a breath in his heart and turned to thank Sun Jiliang and said, "I have kept all the things Brother Sun said just now, but if you can get into Huangpu, you must give me a drink." Sun Jiliang smiled and said, "If you want to thank you, thank Director Zhou. I am just a message." Wu Anping showed longing and even said, "I have to thank you! I have to thank you!"

Ding Xihou looked at the watch and saw that it was not too early, he stood up and shook hands with Wu Anping and said, "No matter what, we have to thank you this time. With countless young people like you who will help the revolution, we will definitely be invincible. But I also have to remind you that Guangzhou has various forces mixed in, and don't do anything like this in the future. If it is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Wu Anping said silently. Sun Jiliang knew that he was resistant and whispered in his ear while shook hands: "It is better to leave professional matters to professionals. You can prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Yang Xikuo and Liu Zhenhuan are just two clowns who can't cause much storm."

Before leaving Zuo Chun'an, Shi Zhuangfei also came to shake hands. Wu Anping ridiculed the two and said, "Look at your bear, but one section chief and one secretary are so scared that you can't even sit steadily. What future will you do in the future?" Shi Zhuangfei whispered: "That's because you don't understand the inside story of the confidential bureau of the Party Committee. If you don't change you, you will definitely be more timid than me." Zuo Chun'an patted Wu Anping on the back and said, "Well, remember to change your underwear. Look, your back is almost wet."

Wu Anping felt cold on his back and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After learning about the situation at that time with Luo Jiaming, Luo Jiaming said: "They are right, so let's just wait and see if they change. Don't cause any trouble, it may cause changes." Wu Anping then knew what Ding Xihou's words meant.

After that, Wu Anping was indeed cautious in his words and actions, and devoted himself to both foreign companies and preparation for the exam. Except for meeting with Su Yuncheng and others who were also preparing for the exam, the few people couldn't help but give guidance to the scholars' arrogance, but they only used newspapers and public discussions to understand the political and military situation in Guangzhou.

More than a month passed in a blink of an eye.

In mid-May, the Yang Xikuo army of the Yunnan Army began to concentrate in Guangzhou and set up formations in Baiyun Mountain and Shougouling. The Liu Zhenhuan army of the Gui Army also drove to Beijiang, intending to subvert the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government. Xu Chongzhi's Guangdong Army and Huangpu Student Army were still pursuing the remnants of Chen Jiongming in Dongjiang, Chaoshan and other places. Guangzhou was empty and was quickly occupied by Yang Xikuo and Liu Zhenhuan.

Wu Anping did not expect that the revolutionary government had obtained information long ago, and the situation would still develop to this point, and he did not have the intention to go to a foreign company to work.

He was depressed all day long in his residence. Luo Jiaming was not as pessimistic as him, saying that rebellion was inevitable, and giving up Guangzhou should be part of the plan, otherwise, in what name would be to eliminate Yang and Liu's main force in Diangui. Wu Anping then became worried and waited for the changes in the current situation.

Sure enough, on the 21st, Principal Chiang Kai-shek led the Huangpu student army back to Guangzhou, and before his trip, he published the speech "Rescue the Base of the Revolutionary Government". He said that if Guangzhou, the base of the revolutionary government, was taken away by the counter-revolutionaries, Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen would have fought for nothing all his life, and many dead comrades and brothers died unjustly. Therefore, if you want to continue the Prime Minister's will, you must first take back Guangzhou. He also said that if you don't ask how strong the enemy is, you can't be called a revolutionary army without fighting back to the base.

On the 29th, the Second Column arrived in Haifeng, and Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech on "The Important Significance of Returning to the Province" to the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade and Sixth Brigade of the Guangdong Army. He said that this return was a critical moment of life and death, and it had a lot to do with the overall situation of China. The only way for the revolutionary army was to charge forward and not take a step back, otherwise they would go to a dead end. Later, on the journey, they successively delivered speeches on "The Necessity to Regain Guangzhou" and "The Party and the Party and the Death, the Party and the Death".

Principal Jiang's speech was very outstanding, and his speech was very inspiring and inciting. On June 13, the Huangpu Student Army and the Hunan Army transferred by Xu Chongzhi, the founding and Guangdong Army attacked Guangzhou from different directions. Yunnan and the Guangxi Army could not resist it. Yang Xikuo and Liu Zhenhuan fled to the Shamian Concession and could not hide. On June 14, the Guangzhou rebellion was completely quelled.

When the news came, Wu Anping and others cheered endlessly. To celebrate the success of the rebellion, two Huangpu students and several young people who took the third rebellion for the rebellion, plus Luo Jiaming, had another banquet in Guangdong. This time, the ban on drinking was released and Wu Anping used more than ten yuan of Wu Anping, but he felt that the blood was bleeding. It was hard to describe their excitement. After all, they also had a small contribution to the successful rebellion.

Guangzhou is gradually calming, but Wu Anping is even busier. In less than two weeks, Huangpu's third phase will be recruiting students. He has signed up and simply quit his job at the foreign company and prepare for the exam at his residence. Su Shaocheng, An Bingchao, Liu Zhang, Yu Tiepeng and Yu Dalun also quit their work and moved to the apartment rented by Wu Anping. The six of them worked hard to make the final sprint for the exam.

But on the morning of the 26th, several people had just returned from running outside, but someone sent a telegram to Wu Anping. After seeing it, Wu Anping's face changed drastically. An Bingchao took the telegram from him and saw that only six words were written on it: Li Bo was critically ill, please reply quickly!
