The history of the Qing Dynasty opened the last page, and in the days before dawn, Wu Chenxuan still seemed to be doing his otaku official in a regular manner, so that the Empress Dowager Yulong only remembered this young old minister of the previous dynasty for nearly a month after she was busy with the matter of the young lord's accession to the throne. Of course, what no one knows is that there is only a stuntman in the house, and his face has been reshaped to a near-perfect resemblance, is it anything else? Wu Chenxuan, who has not appeared for more than a year, has a vague impression in people's memory.

In the first year of Xuantong, in order to demonstrate the strength of the new army, the War Department decided to hold an autumn exercise in Yongping Mansion, Zhili. The drill army marched east and west along the Bac Ninh railway. The East Road is a newly built army in Beiyang, which is dominated by Han Chinese, with Feng Guozhang, the military advisor, as the president, Duan Zhigui, the commander of the sixth town, and Jiang Gui, the ruler of the twentieth town, as the vice president. The East Route Army included the fourth town, the sixth town, the 61st town, the thirteenth mixed concord and the twentieth town, and stationed in Shanhaiguan from the northeast to the Luanzhou line. The Western Route Army was a palace guard dominated by Manchus, with the imperial minister Shu Qing'a as the presidential officer, and the military advisers Tian Xianzhang and Ha Hanzhang as the vice presidential officials. The Western Army, including the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Mixed Formations of the Praetorian Guards, was stationed on the front line of Fengrun Kaiping from Tongzhou. There are more than 70,000 soldiers on both sides, and the prince of Qing is the generalissimo of the autumn exercise. It is planned that on September 10, the two armies will start exercises, and the western army will be "defeated" in the initial battle and retreat to Shifozhuang. On the 12th, the two armies fought again, but the western army was still defeated and retreated to Guye. On the 14th, the western army turned from defense to offensive and defeated the eastern army, and the eastern army retreated to Tuozitou and Baishuzhuang. From the 15th to the 17th, the two armies "negotiated peace", held a military parade on the 18th and 19th, and boycotted the exercise on the 20th. In this way, it shows that "the Manchus are strong and the men are weak" and maintain the rule of the Manchus. The two armies were full of interest in cheating, and of course the new army did not take part in this kind of exercise, which General Ludendorff of the German delegation to Shandong called "almost absurd" after the autumn drill in Hejian, and they came to supervise the quality of the arms purchased from China, and of course to see by the way what the strength of this "little partner of the East" was.

Under the chaotic political situation in which the two bigwigs of Cixi and Guangxu had just died, the War Department's autumn exercise was indeed not very wise, and the Republican Association, one of the revolutionary parties in Luanzhou, was also deeply encouraged by Cixi's death. On September 24, Sun Jisheng of the Republican Association (a native of Zhucheng, Shandong, who had initiated the establishment of the Iron and Blood Society, conspired against the Qing Dynasty, and infiltrated the 20 towns of the New Army as an officer after being exposed), Bai Yayu (a native of Tongzhou, Jiangsu, a famous shop, and the president of the Tianjin Republican Association) and others jointly planned to attack the Western Army with live ammunition at the beginning of the autumn exercise, and after clearing the Praetorian Guard, the whole army entered Beijing and took the capital directly. He also secretly asked the Kyushu Revolutionary Party to raise troops in Lianghu and Liangguang at the same time, which made it difficult for the Qing court to take care of it.

On October 5, six people, including Hu Egong, a representative of the revolutionary party appointed by Qiaofu, arrived in Luan from Tianjin, affirmed the necessity of the Luanzhou uprising, and determined that Shi Congyun, the first standard pipe belt of the 20th town of Beiyang, was the commander-in-chief of the uprising, and Wang Jinming and Sun Jiansheng were the chief and deputy governors of the military government. The number of troops controlled by the revolutionary party in Luanzhou has reached more than 3,000, and revolutionary propaganda has become semi-open.

The change in the situation in Luanzhou has still attracted the attention of the Qing court, the postponement of the autumn exercise has been announced, the main force of the Western Army has returned to Beijing, and the Beiyang departments have been ordered to be stationed in situ. In order to instigate the uprising, the Tianjin Republican Association first stabilized Luanzhou through personal affairs, and after Hu Egong returned to Tianjin, he sent personnel to Luanzhou to investigate. President Bai Yayu went to Luanzhou in person after several ups and downs, and went out to carry out activities around Tuozitou and publicized day and night.

Luanzhou Police Chief Zhang Zhudong originally belonged to the enlightened new faction. According to this, Bai Yayu took more than 20 people directly into the Cao Wu Office on October 9 to lobby Zhang Zhudong, and Zhang Xinran responded to the order and voluntarily led Bai to the state to persuade Zhu Youbao to surrender to the governor. Bai waited to see Zhu, open and honest, and knew righteousness. Zhu immediately agreed, and agreed that "from today onwards, the Luanzhou Government Office will be the headquarters of the Northern Revolutionary Military Government, and all taxes will be handed over to the Military Government for military supplies." He also ordered Zhang Zhudong to lead four soldiers to the Luanzhou Third District Collection Bureau of the Yongping Salt Bureau, check the accounts, and hand over the money.

Bai Yayu and others left the state government with money and went to Beiguan Normal School to meet Wang Jinming and Sun Jiansheng. At the same time, they also enlisted Li Jinzhou, Pei Tingying, and others, members of the Provincial Consultative Bureau, to respond in Tianjin and purchase arms for replenishment. At this time, the comrades of the Republican Association stationed in Tuozitou only knew that Bai Yayu and others had arrived in Luan from Tianjin, but did not know that their work was progressing smoothly. It was only after the two sides met that the surprise turned into joy. On this occasion, the First Association of the Republican Association and the Twentieth Town of the Luanzhou New Army was formally formed.

This uprising was one of the few revolutionary uprisings that broke out according to plan, and it seems that the art of Jov's rebellion has also grown. After the outbreak of the Luanzhou Uprising, the Luanzhou Revolutionary Army was organized into the First Army of the Northern Republican Army. The plan has been decided, and there are many constitutional and revolutionary contacts in various parts of the eastern Hebei region. Jin Guanglong (leader of the Renqiu Uprising) and Wang Zhizeng (leader of the Tongzhou Uprising) all sent people to Luan to contact. Ding Kaizhang and others contacted the "Kwantung Xiangma" also came to Luan one after another, and the remnants of the naval rebel army in Yantai, Shandong Province also landed from Qinhuangdao (of course, it was transported by a British cargo ship sponsored by the Wuyi New Army, which could add a little chaos to Yuan Shikai and the Qing Dynasty, so why not Wu Chenxuan). After the outbreak of the Luanzhou Uprising, Wang Jinming, the governor of Zhengdu, went to Changli in person and secretly discussed the specific matters of the uprising with Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 80th Standard stationed there. After Wang Jinming returned to Luanzhou from Feng Yuxiang, he promptly reported the results of Changli's trip to Bai Yayu, Sun Jiansheng, Ling Yue, Lu Zhonglin, Han Fuyu, and others, and decided to declare Luanzhou's independence.

On the evening of October 26 of the first year of Xuantong, in the name of Wang Jinming, Sun Jiansheng, and Feng Yuxiang, three people, sent a telegram to the Qing Cabinet Prime Minister Yi Liang and Prince Zaifeng, Beiyang Minister Yuan Shikai, and the Zhili Provincial Consultative Bureau in Tianjin, affirming that "all the military and people in Luanzhou advocate a republic" is "the will of the people, not the force that can be stopped", and "a non-republic will inevitably be devastated by the people and will inevitably be interfered by outsiders." He also sent Li Xiaotong, the representative of the Republican Association in Luanzhou, to Tianjin to send a letter to Hu Egong, demanding that the leader of the Kyushu Revolutionary Party Chovqiao immediately send someone to Luan to guide the revolution.

On the 29th, Wang Jinming and others informed Yue Zhaolin, the first standard commander of the 20th Town, of the decision to become independent of Luanzhou, and won him to make a revolution. Yue said that "revolution is dangerous" and sighed. And fled to Kaiping in the early morning of the next day and reported to Wang Huaiqing, the chief soldier of Tongyong Town. When Wang heard the news, he telegraphed Yuan Shikai. After Yuan saw the telegram, he sent Wang Huaiqing to Luanzhou to "act cheaply" to preach and appease, and on the other hand, he transferred troops to suppress the uprising. It's a pity that Yuan Shikai didn't know that the Luanzhou Uprising could break out in advance, not all of them were the ability of the Revolutionary Party and the Republican Association, and Yu Jian, Director of the Coordination Office, also made a lot of efforts.

On the 31st, Wang Huaiqing went to Luanzhou according to Yuan's will, trying to use his old friendship with Wang Jinniu (Wang Jinming's brother) and Shi Congbin (Shi Congyun's brother) to persuade Wang and Shi to give up independence. Righteous people in the sea, raise the banner of righteousness together, and all flesh and blood should raise their arms to glorify our nation...... My generation's declaration of independence is righteous and righteous, and where the heart goes, I will never give up. Now, the position of the Metropolitan Governor is given to you, and if you don't accept it, you won't want to leave! For a while, everyone surrounded Wang Huaiqing, and the platoon commander Zhang Zhenjia forced him with guns, and that night Ling Yue and others led the bomb team to the Fude Heng Inn at Luanzhou Station where Wang Huaiqing was staying. In the end, Wang Huaiqing happily "agreed" to raise troops to revolt and was willing to take up the post of governor of the capital.

The next day, Wang Jinming led all the officials to Luanzhou Station (in the old station) to welcome Wang Huaiqing into the city to worship the seal and take the oath of office. Traveling to the vicinity of the Purple Mountain one mile south of the station, Wang Huaiqing fled west and went straight to Kaiping. After Wang ran to the Tongyong Town Office, he immediately cooperated with the army sent by Yuan Shikai to lay heavy troops on the front line of Kaiping and Leizhuang, and dismantled the railroad tracks to prevent the righteous army from advancing westward.

In view of the successive changes of Yue Zhaolin and Wang Huaiqing, the Righteous Army established the Northern Revolutionary Military Government in Luanzhou on January 2, 1912 ahead of schedule. Wang Jinming was still elected as the governor of the capital, Shi Congyun as the commander-in-chief, Zhang Jiangong as the deputy governor, Feng Yuxiang as the chief of the general staff, Bai Yayu as the chief of staff, Zhou Wenhai and Zhang Liangkun as the secretary general, Zhu Youbao as the minister of civil affairs, Sun Jisheng as the minister of military affairs and minister of finance, Ling Yue as the minister of foreign affairs, Zhang Zhudong as the chief of police, and the rest of the military and political chiefs were all added to new posts.

On November 3, the first year of Xuantong, Wang Jinming and others officially declared the independence of Luanzhou. The dragon flag was taken off from the gate of the state government and the plaque of the military government was hung. At the same time, 12 proclamations, such as "Warning to Compatriots in Zhili", internal and external declarations, and notes to consulates of various countries were drafted and issued. On the day of the announcement of Luanzhou's independence, the businesses in the state city hoisted white flags to show that they were in order. Young adults take pride in cutting off their braids. The military junta issued a notice to the people of the state, affirming restraint and abolishing excesses; Prohibit non-punishment and liberate the people. Inform the ministers of various countries: "Neighboring and friendly countries shall strictly observe neutrality, and all treaties before the uprising of the rebel army shall be observed, and shall not violate the ......." Embassies of various countries recommended the Russian consul to Luanzhou as their representative, expressing their recognition of the Luanzhou military government as a belligerent group.

On November 4, Wang Jinming and Shi Congyun led a team to swear an oath and sent a condemnation to the Qing court, accusing the Qing court of "wanton obscenity and indiscriminate killing". After the oath, Wang Jinming bowed to the Huanli Righteous Army, and Bai Yayu and others made speeches one after another. If it is said that these revolutionaries are the masters of their speeches and propaganda, they marched to Beijing with a single sign of more than 3,000 people beating gongs and drums, as if they did not know that the three towns of Beiyang and the three associations of the Praetorian Guard, 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers were waiting for them.

On the afternoon of the 4th, the rebel army detained the train and ordered the soldiers to travel lightly and prepare to take the night train westward to take Beijing and Tianjin. In the evening, just as he was about to board the train and set off, he caught Li Desheng, the sentry officer of the third battalion who was trying to escape in disguise as villagers, at the station. From him, the military information of the deputy governor Zhang Jiangong (the third battalion pipe band) secretly sent to Wang Huaiqing. Wang Jinming imprisoned Li Desheng on the one hand, and informed Zhang Jiangong to come to Beiguan as soon as possible. When Zhang Jiangong learned that his conspiracy had been exposed, he openly rebelled and ordered the three battalions under his jurisdiction to attack the rebels in two ways, one way outside the city to attack the first and second battalions of the first target, and all the way to shoot at the first and second battalions at the battlements inside the city.

This sudden incident disrupted the planned deployment of the rebel army, and Wang Jinming urgently ordered Wang Hongsheng and Shi Jingting to lead the team to fight back. Under the attack of the rebels, more than half of the rebels outside the city were killed and wounded, and the rest fled into the city to hold on. The 1st and 2nd Battalions also suffered quite a lot of casualties, and the officer of the 1st Battalion, Ge Shengchen, was killed outside the East Gate. Guo Fengshan tried to persuade Zhang Jiangong to surrender but failed, and fell into the city and died. Zhang Jiangong then closed the city gate and hunted down the rebels. After Sun Jisheng was found, Zhang lied and said that he was taken out of the city and walked to the southwest corner of the city and was killed. Sun's entourage Li Bingxiang would rather die than give in, but his heart and liver were gouged out; Zhang Zhenjia was cut off by Zhang Jiangong, and then his body was stuffed into the Luanhe Ice Cave.

The two sides fought fiercely until more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and the rebels still did not capture the state city. Wang Jinming, Shi Congyun and others decided to abandon Luanzhou and implement the westward expansion plan. When the military vehicle traveled about 8 miles east of Leizhuang, it was found that the railroad tracks had been demolished, and the whole army got off the car and fought bravely. In addition to Wang Huaiqing's Huai Army, there were also three battalions of the 12th Standard of the Sixth Association of the Third Town of the Qing Army transferred by Yuan Shikai. Among them, Tan Qinglin, the captain of the second battalion, was sandwiched between the revolutionary army and the Qing army, and because he was beaten on both sides, he sounded the horn to stop fighting. Thinking that the enemy was asking for surrender, the revolutionary army sounded the horn and agreed to a halt. The Qing army mistakenly believed that the revolutionary army was asking for surrender and sounded a truce, and asked the representatives of the revolutionary army to negotiate peace. Wang Jinming and Shi Congyun credulously believed the enemy's words, went to the enemy position to negotiate peace, and counted the sins of the Qing court in front of the enemy formation. On November 5, Wang, Shi and many others were righteous in Leizhuang. Bai Yayu broke through the encirclement and wanted to go to Tianjin to make another big move, but unfortunately was arrested by the Qing army in Guye. On the execution ground, Bai Yayu refused to kneel and was cut off by Wang Huaiqing's legs and head. Before his inauguration, he wrote a poem:

It is easy to die generously, but it is difficult to be righteous calmly.

When the revolution is bloody, success is always in the sky.

The body is like the decay of plants and trees, and the soul rotates with the sun and the moon.

Geng Geng's mind and look up at the white clouds.

I am worried, and the sky has no mercy.

I hope that the latecomers will be connected with comradeship.

Although this body is dead, it has been passed down through the ages!

The Kyushu Revolutionary Party was very concerned about the revolutionary activities in Luanzhou, and sent Wang Baozhen, the general representative of the north, to Luan four times to explain his plans, dredge up the consuls, raise funds, and strongly advocate the uprising and overthrow the Manchu Dynasty. When he left Luanzhou, he left four opinions: (1) Yuan Shikai had long been wary of Luanzhou and should be very vigilant; (2) We must be determined to revolution, act bravely, plan before acting, and make decisions to win. (3) Liaise with the people's army, guerrilla warfare, and broaden the sound source. (4) Zhang Jiangong, the pipe band of the third battalion of the Luan Army, was unreliable. In practice, all of the above opinions proved to be correct, but it is a pity that the naïve and impatient Republican leaders, undermined by the deception of traitors, finally led to the collapse of the uprising, which became a tragic defeat.

However, what no one noticed was a detail, a battalion officer of the third town, Uncle Sun, and quietly commanded the soldiers to take away Shi Congyun's body. A day later, in the dungeon of Dali Temple, several imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory sat around this frozen corpse, like a group of scavengers, watching the two servants act as knives and hooks to dissect the corpse. Finally, from the stomach pouch of the body, several kneaded paper balls were carefully taken out and unfolded. Although the corroded handwriting was illegible, the key points could still be found in the fragments, so these imperial historians wrapped the shredded paper as if they had found a treasure, and left in a hurry with a wicked smile. The laughter was like the cry of a night owl, waking up people in the distance. Yuan Weiting Lord Yuan had no way of knowing that he couldn't hold back his sleepiness after just quelling the uprising, and had already slept peacefully.
