On October 17, the Fujian tentative fourth division rushed to the border of Hangzhou. On that day, the Fourth Division fired a large number of propaganda bombs at Hangzhou City.

The leaflets are all persuading the officers and soldiers of the 21st town of the temporary section, and they promised to accept the surrender as appropriate. Those who fail to meet the requirements for the inclusion shall pay the travel fee of no less than 5 silver dollars.

Two hours after the propaganda bomb was fired, the officers and soldiers of the 10th town in Hangzhou did not have avatars, so the 4th Division of Fujian immediately launched an attack on Hangzhou.

The fierce shells blasted the walls of Hangzhou City in just ten minutes, and then the Fourth Division rushed into Hangzhou City like a tide. As soon as the Fourth Division rushed into Hangzhou City, the officers and soldiers of the 21st town inside quickly turned against each other. They could not surrender before because they were suppressed by their superiors. Many officers in these new troops had been exposed to revolutionary ideas.

The newly appointed governor of Fujian and Zhejiang saw something was wrong and immediately fled from the north gate with soft softness. The Fourth Division fought fiercely in Hangzhou for half a day before conquering Hangzhou.

The fifth temporary division that invaded Jiangxi also reached Jiujiang on the 17th. Jiujiang defenders immediately turned against each other and Jiujiang announced their conquest.

On the 18th, Xia Jun once again issued a telegram across the country, declaring Zhejiang independence and joining the East China Autonomous Government.

On the same day, consulates in various countries in Hankou declared strict neutrality.

Because the Fifth Temporary Division invaded Jiangxi, on the 19th, the New Army of Nanchang launched an uprising, and then the country was sent to the country, Jiangxi was independent!

The Nanchang Uprising Army only occupied one city in Nanchang, and at this time, Xia Jun's fifth temporary division had conquered Shangrao, Yingtan, Jingdezhen, and Jiujiang.

When the news reached Jian'an, Chen Xuanyu quickly called Xia Jun and asked for instructions: "Report to Chairman, Nanchang is independent, can we still fight?"

"Let the Fifth Division stop the attack and guard the conquered territory." Xia Jun said to Chen Xuanyu. Jiangxi is independent at this time. If it attacks again, it will be easy to criticize. Xia Jun is still very rational in his pursuit of territory at this time. After all, he does not have many administrative personnel in his hands, and the territory is expanded too much and it is easy to be confused.

The purpose of invading Jiangxi has been achieved, and Xia Jun has obtained the route to the Yangtze River waterway.

Moreover, if the territory is occupied too much, it will easily become the current pioneer. At that time, it will be difficult to move if it is jointly resisted by various provinces. However, the territory that was captured by hand cannot be given up. He must swallow the counties of Jiujiang and Jingdezhen.

"Chairman, our troops are not enough! If the Fourth Division heads north to capture Shanghai as planned, there will be one and a half of the county towns in Zhejiang that have not been captured." Chen Xuanyu said to Xia Jun.

"Then we will dispatch the Third Division to the north." Xia Jun said that the First Division must not move, and the Second Division must also stay in coordination with the First Division to guard Fujian. After all, Japan occupies Taiwan and may send troops at any time. The Japanese have always been good at fighting in tacit declarations, so they cannot give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they will suffer great losses if they take advantage of the loopholes.

Soon, Zhang Sigou received an order and began to march northward to attack various counties in Zhejiang, while the Fourth Temporary Division continued to go northward to attack Shanghai County.

The Fourth Temporary Engineer quickly headed north and conquered Jiaxing on the 19th.

On the evening of the 19th, revolutionary gunshots rang out in Shanghai. Jian'an Independence Battalion was in full swing in Shanghai. The sudden uprising of Jian'an Independence Battalion had already made full preparations, but the Shanghai government troops were not prepared and were soon captured by the Jian'an Independence Battalion. Jian'an Independence Battalion found piles of silver in the Shanghai treasury. Since there was no time to count, I don't know how many of them were.

I encountered some trouble when capturing the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau. There was a group of Qing troops defending the Manufacturing Bureau and refused to give up resistance no matter how they persuaded them to surrender.

For this purpose, Jian'an Independent Battalion fired dozens of grenades to the defenders in the Manufacturing Bureau, and then attacked the Shanghai Bureau's Manufacturing Bureau under the cover of firepower. At dawn, all the defenders in the Manufacturing Bureau were wiped out.

That night, Chen Qimei and other members of the Tongmeng also joined the ranks of uprisings. Gunshots broke out in Shanghai County. When Chen Qimei led his troops to the vault, he found that the vault had long been occupied.

The Jian'an Independent Battalion arranged temporary fortifications in the vault. Facing the Shanghai Uprising Army surrounding the surroundings, both sides were at a strife.

Chen Qimei sent personnel to negotiate with Jian'an Independent Battalion, demanding that they evacuate the vault, and the cash bank in the vault should be divided equally, while Jian'an Independent Battalion carried several machine guns smuggled into Shanghai and rejected Chen Qimei's request on the spot.

Chen Qimei was very cruel and ruthless. Facing the real money in the vault, Chen Qimei couldn't stop the temptation and ordered the Shanghai Uprising Army to attack the vault on the spot. The Jian'an Independent Battalion stationed in the vault immediately blocked the attack with heavy machine guns. As soon as the heavy machine gun fired, it immediately swept down a piece of Shanghai Uprising Army. Only then did the Shanghai Uprising Army realize that there were machine guns hidden in the vault and retreated immediately.

At this moment, gunshots came from outside Shanghai County, and the gunshots were very dense.

It turned out that a brigade of the Fourth Temporary Division of Fujian had already arrived in Shanghai. In the early morning of the 20th, the 08th Brigade of the Fourth Temporary Division of the Fourth Temporary Division entered Shanghai County.

At this time, the battle in Shanghai had ended, but there was a Shanghai Uprising Army led by Chen Qimei and others in Shanghai. After the Fourth Interim Division of Fujian entered the county town, it learned from the Jian'an Independent Battalion that they were attacked by the Shanghai Uprising Army. The 09th Brigade immediately launched an attack on the Shanghai Uprising Army.

Anyway, they fought first, so if you want to fight, just continue to fight!

The Shanghai Uprising Army was formed by gang forces and armed forces of the Chamber of Commerce. There was no unified organization, and Chen Qimei represented gang forces.

The armed forces of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce immediately negotiated with the 09th Brigade, and expressed their willingness to remain neutral during the negotiations and immediately withdrew from the confrontation. The 09th Brigade began to encircle and annihilate the gang forces led by Chen Qimei.

Chen Qimei never expected that the Fujian army would attack Shanghai so quickly, and the people were caught off guard and scattered. Chen Qimei took advantage of the chaos to escape into the Shanghai Public Concession.

By 8 o'clock in the morning, the gunshots in Shanghai gradually subsided, and the 08th Brigade of the Fourth Temporary Division successfully captured Shanghai.

Xia Jun received a report in Jian'an and excitedly ordered the 08th Brigade: "Stay for a long time and attack Jiangsu..."

Jiangsu is a province that Xia Jun attaches great importance to. Jiangsu is a cotton producing area and can also produce salt. Alkali can be produced with salt. Although Fujian and Zhejiang provinces have salt fields, the coastal areas are mostly beaches, and salt water will leak.
