6 maio 1907 ano - Leading the Restoration Army

Descrição:

"Qiu Jin also made connections with soldiers in the New Army as well as students in military and high-level cadre schools in Hangzhou. She reportedly convinced a number of soldiers in Hangzhou to side with the revolutionary cause and enlisted them as agents provocateurs for future action in Hangzhou. She established the Restoration Army, upon which she imposed tight organization.

At the end of May 1907, Xu Xilin informed Qiu Jin that the Anhui organization was ready to act. He urged that the Zhejiang branch, too, prepare for an uprising in the near future. Accordingly, Qiu Jin summoned the leaders of the Restoration Army to a meeting, at which she reportedly said: "[T]he arrow is really in the bow. [We] cannot not release it!" The group fixed July 6 as the date of its uprising." (https://www.encyclopedia.com/women/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/qiu-jin-c-1875-1907)
