Baiquan Scenic Area is located 25 kilometers northwest of Xinxiang, which is the largest and best-preserved ancient garden complex in Henan Province. It is known as the "Summer Palace of Zhongzhou" and "Little West Lake in the North". Baiquan Lake is located at the southern foot of Sumen Mountain, because the bottom of the lake is full of springs, so it is called Baiquan. The spring water bursts out from the crypt, accumulating like a pearl, also known as the pearl spring. Baiquan consists of Sumen Mountain and Baiquan Lake.

Sumen Mountain is a branch of Taihang Mountain, which is a mountain formed by the root of Wanxian Mountain extending eastward here. And the various water systems in the Taihang Mountain stretch the stone crevices of Wanxian Mountain to the east, and when they reach Sumen Mountain, they erupt upwards from the stone sinus at the southern foot of the mountain, forming the rippling Baiquan Lake. This mountain and water reflect each other.

Baiquan is named after Baiquan Lake. It dates back to the Three Emperors period and is famous in the Yin Shang era. In China's first poetry collection "Book of Songs", verses praising Baiquan have been sung. Xunzi. Confucianism: "King Wu fell, and stayed in Baiquan at dusk." "It proves that Baiquan was a beautiful place more than 3,000 years ago.

Baiquan as early as 3,000 years ago Yin Shang that is excavated, Qing Dynasty Qianlong fifteen years (1750), in order to prevent water discharge, around the shore masonry, into a rectangular spring lake. The lake water area is more than 34,000 square meters, the regular flow is four to five, the deepest depth is up to three meters, the water temperature is about 20 degrees all year round, warm in winter and cool in summer, the lake water is green in all seasons, clear and pure; Fish and crabs come and go in the lake, and the algae are crisscrossed; Lakeside pavilions and pavilions are dotted, and curved bridges are connected; The ancient cypress around the lake is towering, and the green willows are swaying.

On the shore of Baiquan Lake, there are pavilions, pavilions, temples and ancestral halls built in the past dynasties. The Qing Army Pavilion was built in Yuan, surrounded by green cypresses, majestic and magnificent.

Wang Qi, the Yuan pronoun, praised in "Yongbaiquan Lingyuan": "Seventy-two springs in Jinan, scattered in the slope of the Baili River, not like the Gongcheng Temple under the water, thousands of caves and out of front of the painting column." ”

If it is in the "dog days" scorching heat, as soon as you sit on the stone steps by the lakeside, you will be forced away by the slightest coolness when you sweat profusely; "Sanjiu" is cold, the mist rises on the lake, and Nana permeates the pavilions and pavilions like a fairyland. Boating on the lake, pavilions and pavilions are dotted in the distant mountains of Pinghu Lake, which is refreshing and pleasant.

After Yuan Shikai was dismissed and returned to his hometown, he saw that many buildings in Baiquan were damaged and repaired, and united with Xu Shichang, a close friend who had lived in Hui County for a long time, to propose to rebuild the Baiquan scenic spot.

Yuan Xu took the lead in raising funds and received enthusiastic donations from Zhang Zhenfang, Duan Fang, Cai Shaoji, Beiyang Paoze and Henan gentry, raising a total of more than 15,000 taels of donated silver.

It lasted more than two years, repaired and decorated the pavilions, Yuxie Temple and other scenic spots, repaired the mountain patrol road, dredged the spring flow, and the famous places of Baiquan took on a new look.

Yuan Shikai personally drafted the inscription, and Xu Shichang Shudan's "Rebuilding the Baiquan Ancestral Temple Tablet" stood on the west bank of Baiquan Lake.

Yuan Shikai is very proud of himself for doing something for his hometown.

Zhang Jian has been gone for a while, and good news has come one after another, but there is no actual progress on the side of the imperial court. Just as Yuan Shikai was anxiously waiting, the opportunity came.

After the failure of the Huanghuagang Uprising, the revolutionaries, mainly the Literary Society and the Communist Advancement Association, decided to turn their sights to the Yangtze River valley and prepare to launch a new armed uprising in the Lianghu region centered on Wuhan

The Literary Society, a revolutionary group with a scholarly name, was led by Jiang Yiwu and Liu Fuji. In fact, the Literary Society broke away from the League, because it was dissatisfied with the League's concept of "ignoring military affairs and emphasizing politics". As a result, Jiang Yiwu and Liu Fuji broke away from the League, and the main members of the Literary Society were members of the New Army and some other people who were born poor.

Like the Literary Society, the Communist Association also broke away from the League, and its leaders were Sun Wu, Liu Gong, Ju Zheng and Jiao Dafeng. The members of the Kyojinkai were generally students studying in Japan, and they left the association because they were dissatisfied with the way the alliance worked. However, at that time, in order to increase its power, the Kyojin Association still carried the banner of the Alliance.

Most of the members they have developed are also from the Forces nouvelles.

In order to extinguish the people's uprising in Sichuan, the Qing court sent the minister Duan Fang to lead part of the new army from Hubei into Sichuan to suppress it, resulting in the weakening of the Qing army's defense in Hubei. Most of the rebels who developed were in the New Army, and the revolutionaries were also worried that these people would be transferred, so they decided to launch an uprising in Wuchang as soon as possible.

On September 24, 1911, a joint meeting of the two revolutionary groups, the Literary Society and the Communist Association, decided to launch an uprising on October 6. Representatives of the party members of all standard battalions attended the meeting, and the "draft personnel" and the "plan for the uprising" were adopted. The reason is Liu Gong.

On the same day, the artillery team of the Wuchang New Army stationed in Nanhu fought with the commander due to personal contradictions between the soldiers, and several soldiers beat the commander severely. This incident alarmed Ruicheng, the governor of Hubei, and Zhang Biao, who commanded the army, and they must have heard the news and decided to strengthen the management of the new army. After the artillery incident, Ruicheng and Zhang Biao ordered the collection of bullets from the new army troops, and at the same time strengthened the military and police forces in the market, and the investigation was very strict. In order to strengthen effective control over the troops, it was decided that the army would celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance and that there would be no holiday on the 15 th of August.

In order to cope with this unexpected situation, and the failure of Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, and other important leaders of the League to arrive in Wuhan as scheduled, the uprising headquarters decided to postpone the uprising until October 16.

At noon on October 9, Sun Wu and others were nervously preparing ** in the command headquarters. At this time, Liu Tong, the younger brother of Liu Zhongwen, an important member of the revolutionary party, also came here, he lit a cigarette, and watched the excitement with great interest.

It is said that he is actually the funder of **, so no one is embarrassed to remind him: for safety, don't smoke.

After the cigarette addiction was over, Liu Tong looked around and couldn't find the ashtray, only a dirty basin next to it that seemed to be filled with garbage. The level of throwing cigarette butts is really high, and the cigarette butts that are still smoking are thrown in with great precision.

There was a bang** explosion, and the smoke from the flames rose. The basin is filled with ** that will be prepared for a week. Sun Wu, who was close, was blown up beyond recognition on the spot and rushed to the hospital. The perpetrator, Liu Tong, was unharmed.

At this time, the fire was out of control, and thick smoke was billowing everywhere, and neighbors were shouting for help. The others were going to take away the documents and rosters of the uprising, but they were locked in lockers, and no one knew where the keys were.

Before they could figure out a solution, the Russian patrol had already arrived at the scene, and after controlling everyone, they searched carefully. Not only did they find the dangerous **, but they also found the list of uprisings, flags, notices, ammunition, and seals when they split the cabinet with a large axe. Soon, these things, including Liu Tong, were all handed over to Qing Zheng by the Russian side. Hubei authorities.

Liu Tong quickly recruited them all.

Chen Shuping, the chief secretary of Hubei Province, suggested that the roster be destroyed to reassure the public; Zhang Meisheng, the master of the governor's office, strongly opposed it and advocated that people should be arrested according to the roster.

If the governor of Huguang, Ruizi, had followed the advice of Chen Shupingdi, the chief secretary of the Buzheng Division, perhaps it would have been difficult for the uprising in Wuchang to happen.

There is a folk story about a particularly wise king who was given a wooden box when he was greedy in a raid. It was learned from the corrupt officials who were investigated that the box contained bills for gifts given to him by the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the DPRK and officials at all levels.

As soon as you open the box, you will know who has bribed this great corrupt.

For this greedy man who was once in power, insatiable, and plucked the feathers of geese, almost no one has not given him a gift.

Giving bribes according to the law and accepting bribes are the same crime, and the ministers of civil and military affairs and officials at all levels are panicked.

But the king did not open the wooden box, but burned it in public, and the hearts of the people were calmed down at once.

Chief Secretary Chan Shu-ping should have known this story, and his suggestions should have been inspired by this story.

Zhang Meisheng, the master of the Governor's Mansion, didn't think so, it was easy to get the list of the chaotic party, and he could wipe out all these people, how could he destroy it?

The governor of Huguang, Rui Zi, obeyed his master, Zhang Meisheng, and immediately ordered the closure of the four cities and the search for revolutionaries according to the list.

Seeing that the matter had been revealed, the commander-in-chief Jiang Yiwu decided to launch an uprising immediately at 12 o'clock that night, with the sound of the Nanhu artillery corps as a signal. He sent Deng Yulin to the Nanhu artillery team to convey the order: as soon as the cannon sounds, everyone will act!

Because the whole city was heavily guarded, Deng Yulin hurried and hurried to return to the artillery team after twelve o'clock. The artillery brothers had already turned off the lights and gone to bed, the appointed time had passed, and the gunners had fallen asleep again.

Jiang Yiwu escaped, and the arrested backbone of the uprising, Peng Chufan, Liu Fuji, and Yang Hongsheng, were hung on the gatehouse of Wuchang City early the next morning.

Now, let's get to know Peng Chufan, Liu Fuji and Yang Hongsheng, the famous three martyrs of Wuchang Shouyi, and these three heroes who stand up to the sky.

Peng Chufan's original name was Jiadong, the word Qingyun, a native of Echeng, Hubei. In 1906, he joined the Hubei New Army. Later, he was admitted to the Military Police School, and after graduation, he served as a squad leader in the Military Police Battalion, and successively joined the Hubei Revolutionary Group Rizhihui and the Literary Society, and was a military preparer of the General Headquarters of the Uprising.

Liu Fuji, a native of Changde, Hunan, joined the Huaxing Society founded by Huang Xing at the age of 21 and participated in the League during his exile. After returning to China, he engaged in revolutionary activities in Changsha, Shanghai, and Wuhan.

After joining the Hubei New Army, he joined the Literary Society and was promoted as the Minister of Review. He is courageous, knowledgeable, and resourceful, and is known as "Little Zhuge ". On September 24, 1911, at the joint meeting of the Literary Society and the Communist Association, he was appointed as the permanent military preacher of the general headquarters of the uprising.

Yang Hongsheng Ziyisan, a native of Echeng, Hubei, joined the Literary Society during his time as a soldier in the Hubei New Army. According to the decision of the general headquarters of the uprising, he retired from the army and left the camp and opened a small grocery store on Zhonghe Menzheng Street as a cover to transmit information and contact comrades. He was a traffic officer in preparation for the uprising and was responsible for transporting ammunition during the uprising.
