Tao Chengzhang and the others immediately followed Wu Feng onto the cargo ship. The 7,000-ton bulk cargo ship was purchased from the United States, with a US license, traveling to and from ports such as Shanghai and Hangzhou, and the tariffs were very favorable.

The cargo ship drove all the way to Ningde, and Ningde Port immediately responded. A torpedo boat drove over and then drove in another direction.

These torpedo boats patrol the coast of Ningde Port every day, and there is also a submarine underwater.

The cargo ship entered the dock and soon came a tug, dragging the cargo ship to the right position. The cargo ship slowly leaned on the dock, and a tractor immediately drove over to prepare for cargo. The porters on the dock also stood up one after another.

Tao Chengzhang and Liu Yazi got off the cargo ship. Wu Feng introduced to them: "The wharf in Ningde is specially used by our Han Dynasties for smuggling, so that we can avoid customs. On average, every three days we have a large cargo ship transporting goods to major domestic ports and the United States for sale."

The two of them nodded after hearing this. Just looking at the scale of the marine freight company, we can see that the Hanmin Party is very strong, and it is much more formal than the Guangfu Association.

The usual activities of the Restoration Association relies on fundraising, while the Hanmin Party’s activity funds are earned by itself. Wu Feng said that the Hanmin Party also runs many factories and an arsenal, which is obviously self-sufficient in terms of funds.

The two of them quickly got into the car and headed towards Jian'an.

The car drove to Shuixi and immediately saw a large group of people waiting there.

A young man was standing in front of everyone in a military uniform. He was looking at Shenfei at this time, looking very arrogant. This person was Xia Jun. There were dozens of officers in military uniforms standing behind him, all of whom were wearing pistols.

In addition to these people, there are thousands of people wearing Hanfu around him. Wu Feng from afar said that those were teachers and students of Jianzhou University and members of the Hanmin Party.

Banners have been hung on both sides, with words such as "Welcome to the Restoration Meeting", "Welcome to President Tao", and "Long Live the Revolution".

Tao Chengzhang saw that the show was so big,

Xia Jun quickly stepped forward, shook hands cordially with Tao Chengzhang, and said with a smile: "The arrival of President Tao has really made our Han Democratic Party shine brightly. I, Xia Jun, on behalf of our Han Democratic Party, welcomes President Tao to come."

Tao Chengzhang and Liu Yazi were surprised when they heard that this person was the chairman of the Han Democratic Party. This was too young, but Xia Jun was so flattered that he was so flattered and said repeatedly: "It turns out that it is Chairman Xia. How dare he guard against Chairman Xia to welcome him? It really makes me panic."

"President Tao is a revolutionary predecessor, how can he be negligent?" Xia Jun held his hand and said kindly.

You Zhengbin held a camera and took a photo of Xia Jun shook hands with Tao Chengzhang from "ticic acid". Tao Chengzhang and Liu Yazi shook hands cordially with the people behind Xia Jun.

"The two of you came from afar, and you have prepared wine and food to welcome you. Please." Xia Jun smiled and said to them sideways.

"Please ask together, please." Tao Chengzhang smiled with his fists.

Xia Jun welcomed the two of them into the banquet and poured wine before the banquet. Xia Jun introduced to Tao Chengzhang the members of the Han Min Party. Most of the members of the Han Min Party were absorbed from the Restoration Association. Of course, these were teachers and students who did not go to society. The senior staff were You Zhengbin and Zhang Sigou. You Zhengbin is the vice chairman and Zhang Sigou is the chairman of the Propaganda Department. You Zhengbin is currently serving as secretary-general for Xia Jun.

Tao Chengzhang saw each other one by one, and then the banquet started.

During the meal, Liu Yazi drank a few glasses of wine, and couldn't help but feel excited. She gave an impromptu poem, which made everyone cheer. Liu Yazi suddenly wiped her tears and sighed: "Today I saw my Han people appear again in clothes and clothes, so I really feel so excited that I can't calm down, so I laughed."

"Mr. Liu was joking. Isn't this because Mr. Liu is so in love with the nation. How could it be if those who do not have national consciousness?" Xia Jun smiled. "The Restoration Association has always had a common ideal with the Han Democratic Party, that is, to restore the Han people's country and the clothes and clothes of Han people."

"What Chairman Xia said is right, and it is precisely because both sides have a consensus that we will gather here today." Tao Chengzhang nodded and said.

After the banquet, Tao Chengzhang and Liu Yazi visited Jianzhou University accompanied by Xia Jun and everyone, and then visited Jian'an's factory.

Seeing the huge steel factory, Tao Chengzhang and Liu Yazi couldn't help but be amazed.

The two visited the arsenal opened by Xia Jun again.

"Our arsenal is just starting out, and it produces very few bullets, and it is often stuck. These bullets can only be used during training." Xia Jun complained to Tao Chengzhang: "What our Han Dynasties lacks the most now is people. We need enough scholars to build factories."

Tao Chengzhang naturally knew what Xia Jun meant. When he was inspecting Jianzhou University just now, he saw that Jianzhou University was cultivating scientific and technological talents and the treatment of teachers and students has improved. He was obviously not satisfied with the current scale. There were not many other members in the Restoration Association, and there were many students in the Association. Liu Yazi developed many members in the Poetry Association.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Jun took the two to the military camp again. Only after entering the military camp did the two really shock them.

I saw a division with 13,500 people arranged neatly on the school ground, with artillery and machine guns placed aside, and trucks and motorcycles arranged neatly.

These soldiers were all wearing uniforms and holding uniform weapons in their hands.

Tao Chengzhang and Liu Yazi were shocked, but even more shocked.

"This is the Fujian First Division compiled by our Han Democratic Party. It will be trained in October next year and will be in trouble at that time." Xia Jun said to the two with a smile, "and there are more than 100,000 militias in the local area, all of which use German five-shot steel guns. However, with the military strength of the Qing Dynasty, the 100,000 militias will probably not need to go into battle at that time, and the Fujian First Division will be able to accomplish this."

Hundreds of thousands of militias!

This scared the two of them, but when they thought of the Han Min Party’s financial resources, they couldn’t help but feel relieved.

However, the Han Democratic Party's strength was so strong that the two of them were envious. Qiu Jin and others of the Restoration Association revolted, but there were only thousands of weapons that were uneven, and there was no training.

If there were such a powerful army back then, the uprising would not have failed.

The two left the military camp and returned to the guesthouse late at night, but they were not sleepy at all.

Liu Yazi said to Tao Chengzhang: "Huanqing, what do you think?"

"The Han Min Party is strong, and the uprising will surely be successful." Tao Chengzhang said: "Today, I see that the Fujian First Division trained by the Han Min Party is much stronger than the Beiyang Army in terms of equipment, not to mention that the Han Min Party is united in all directions. If the uprising is caused next year, it is very likely that the Qing court will be completely overthrown."

"It's true!" Liu Yazi nodded, "The Han Democratic Party has more than this superficial strength. They have large-scale factories and Daxing Education. As long as they give them a certain amount of time, they can have wealth. It's better to unite with the Han Democratic Party. If it takes a long time, they may not be able to look down on our liberation meeting."

Seeing that Xia Jun had such strong strength, Liu Yazi changed her previous attitude of waiting and watching, and was even more anxious than Tao Chengzhang.

From a revolutionary perspective, if both sides can unite, it will be a happy thing. From a side perspective, standing on the side of the Han Democratic Party is undoubtedly the right choice.
