A young soldier named Ding Renjie and a young soldier named Liu Du volunteered. One pressed Li Yuanhong's head, the other grabbed the discernment, and with a click, the long discernment fell to the ground, and the advisory bureau immediately burst into joy.

Cai Jimin said to Li Yuanhong with a smile: "The governor is like an arhat. ”

After so many years of debate, it was cut off all of a sudden, and he was still a little reluctant, Li Yuanhong smiled bitterly: "Like a Maitreya Buddha, right?" ”

It drew laughter from everyone again.

At this time, someone got a string of firecrackers from nowhere and set them off.

Hearing the sound of firecrackers, passers-by and people nearby didn't know what was going on and rushed over to see the excitement. As a result, the news that Li Yuanhong cut off the debate spread. Soon, cutting braids became a necessary action of the revolution in Jiangcheng, and the young people regarded it as a feat.

For a time, shaving his head and cutting his hair short became the most fashionable thing for Jiangcheng men. This is something that Li Yuanhong could never have dreamed of.

In all dynasties of China, there was a custom of worshipping the heavens. There should be the intention of asking for God's blessing and declaring and clarifying the will to heaven, so that God can know the intention of the worshippers and seek understanding and support. Of course, it is also an encouragement and mobilization for all parties and the general public, especially for those who participate in the event.

Li Yuanhong and Junzheng. Fu is no exception.

On October 17, in the center of the Wuchang Parade Racecourse, a high altar was erected. In the center of the altar is the tablet of the Chinese ancestor Emperor Xuanyuan, and on both sides are red flags and swords. On the incense table in front of the Yellow Emperor's tablet, Xuanjiu and Taigao (small scalper) are enshrined. On either side of the incense table stood the celebrants and reciters in ceremonial robes.

The east, south, and west sides of the altar are lined up with neat armies, and the scene is very spectacular.

At dawn, Li Yuanhong was wearing a blue military uniform with golden epaulettes, but there was no military rank. Complexion Zhuang. Serious, steady, in the military and political. Surrounded by government officials, they walked to the front of the stage, bowed three times to the military flag, and the army raised their guns in salute.

In the sound of military music, the officials ascended the altar and the sacrificial activities began. Li Yuanhong, the governor of the capital, personally offered incense, sacrificed animals, and led the officials to kneel down and bow without crowns, and the troops under the stage lined up to raise their guns, and then it was appropriate to read the sacrificial text.

There are one text of "Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth" and one text of "Sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor".

The sacrifice to heaven and earth Wen Luoyun said: "...... As soon as the righteous voice moved, all the people worked together, and the soldiers were bloodless to overcome Wuchang. The spirit of my heaven and earth, mountains, rivers and seas, and ancestors is really presence! Yuan Hong rose up to inherit the sky. With decades of concerted efforts, what cannot be obtained by calling out for bloodshed can be obtained in one fell swoop. This is beyond human power! In the past few days, we have collected and prepared, and immediately spread the word to the Quartet, drive the north for a long time, hang our Han people, and annihilate them Manyi, so as to be equal to the countries of the five continents. With the heart of Shuntian, build a common and private cause! Where I am Han, one virtue and one heart, now should be the oath of the master, say the bright clouds, the sky is smiling, the river is quiet, the mountains and rivers have light! ”

Sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor Wen Luoyun: "...... Fortunately, the banner of righteousness was raised, and the whole Hubei was overcome without worshipping the dynasty. The neighboring Xinjiang responded and arrived in the southeast in a few days! We are united in our efforts to annihilate the Manchu chieftains and restore Shenzhou. Yuan Hongde Bo Zhixiao, restraining the first emperor Lingshuang to die, relying on the sharp progress of comrades, vowing to achieve the goal and then only! The constitution is promulgated in an orderly manner, and it is enough to keep pace with all countries in the world, so that the history of my 5,000-year-old civilization will shine with extraordinary brilliance, and my children and grandchildren will always be happy. Shang Fang. ”

After the ceremonial officer finished reading the memorial text, Tan Renfeng presented the flag and sword to Li Yuanhong on behalf of the Alliance.

Tan Renfeng (September 20, 1860 - April 24, 1920), the word Shiping, the name Fu Shan, in his later years, he called himself Xuefu, known as Tan Huzi. Han nationality, born in Futian Village, Xinhua County, Hubei Province (now Nanwan Village, Yatian Town, Longhui County). A well-known democratic revolutionary, an early member and an important backbone of the League, he participated in many uprisings, and was born and died.

And then, it's the military and the government. The Governor of the Prefecture reads the oath.

Li Yuanhong read the oath in a loud voice, pushing the worship to the sky to the highest. Tide. As soon as his voice fell, he automatically shouted slogans from below: Long live the Republic of China, long live the 40,000 compatriots, and long live the Shouyi of Wuchang, and the cheers of the Wuchang Shouyi came and went, and the parade ground became a sea of joy.

The festival ended with Li Yuanhong stepping down to review the army.

It's a cheerful day, an uplifting day, and a day of change. On this day, it has stayed in the hearts of the people of Wuhan for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuanhong and the military and government. The government also promulgated a series of new policies in an effort to eradicate feudal customs. One is to cut the hair and feet.

Military. In a notice issued by the government for cutting hair and feet, it was written: "The bad habit of binding feet is hindering the hygiene of women." The damage to the body is particularly small, and the relationship between the race is light. At present, when the Republic of China was founded, it is reasonable to restore all kinds of waste. Men all cut their hair, and women should be revitalized. As the mother of the nation, how can she neglect to follow the cause. It is hereby ordered to let go, and each of them should not be disobeyed. ”

The day after this notice was posted, a new thing came out, on a big tree by the side of the parade ground, a long braid was hung, and a long woman's footcloth was hung. The debate and the footcloth were entwined, fluttering in the wind. Under the tree, many people were watching the excitement, and everyone was talking.

It turned out that a girl came here to listen to the speech of the "Tianzu Club" lecture troupe. The lecture group listed the major harm of foot binding to women's bodies, families and society, and mobilized the women's community to take active action. The girl, thinking that she had not yet laid her feet, stepped aside, bravely opened the footcloth, and hung it on the tree.

A young man next to him, seeing that the girl was so brave, thought that his debate was still hidden in his coat, so he pulled it out. The lecture troupe had scissors, but he borrowed them, cut them himself, and hung them with the girl's footcloth.

This incident attracted the literati and ink writers Yaxing, who further conceived this story and actually staged a very sweet love story.

What happened to the real men and women in the story is gone. However, this is indeed an era of new people, new things, new customs, and new ideas, and an era of unrestrained passion.

Overkill is easy to overcorrect, and when it comes to cutting hair, there are also many overkill actions. For example, some organs stipulate that if you do not cut your braids, you will confiscate your badges, and some troops stipulate that you will not be paid if you do not cut your braids. In some places, it is also stipulated that those who drag the debaters are not allowed to go out on the streets. What's more, they sent people to inspect the streets, and if they found someone who had an argument, they forcibly cut it off.

Don't forget, in Wuhan, China, there is such a history. Whether or not to cut the hair is a big question of whether it is revolutionary or not.

Since the influx of opium into China, it has poisoned people's bodies, anesthetized people's spirits, destroyed countless normal families, and caused great harm to the country and individuals. Smoking ban has been a common advocacy of people of insight for some years. Li Yuanhong and Junzheng. The government also regards the smoking ban as a major matter. More than once, notices have been posted to strongly ban smoking.

One of the notices reads: "...... If smoking is not banned, how can the country be strong and how can the country be rich...... For this reason, the military and the people of the show know that after the self-proclamation, it is advisable for the father to refrain from his son, the brother to refrain from his brother, the woman to persuade his husband, the farmer to change to other things, the merchant to make a living, and especially to quit immediately if he sucks. People who are drug addicts in the general period are all seeds of prosperity and strength, and they are not allowed to defy the law, but they still follow the same mistakes, and they obey them, and they are earnest. ”

Opium smoking has become a social disease, and many people cannot live without opium. There are still many people in society who live on drugs, such as opium farmers and opium merchants.

If you are seriously ill, you have to take strong medicine, for the sake of anti-drugs, military and political. The government and relevant departments have also taken a series of coercive measures, such as taking people to the streets if they are found to be smoking opium.

There was once such a thing, Zhang Biao was Li Yuanhong's former boss and the highest commander in the former army of Hubei. He led a group of remnants of the defeated generals, and after Liujiamiao was broken up by the people's army, Zhang Biao had nowhere to go and returned to his home in Wuchang.

He insisted on not cooperating with the revolutionary party and the people's army, but the magnanimous Le Yuanhong and the military government. The government is not because of Zhang Biao's past identity, including the fact that he is still not in harmony with the military and politics. The government cooperates and it is difficult for him.

However, Zhang Biao is now in trouble.

It turned out that his wife was an addict, and she was very addicted, but unfortunately she was arrested for drug abuse. In accordance with the military administration. The government's regulations are to parade through the streets. Although Zhang Biao is now a civilian, after all, he is a figure in Hubei, and his wife is dragged to the street to fight, how can he stand it on his face? What to do, Zhang Biao thought of Li Yuanhong.

Although the two have different political views, the personal relationship is still good. Besides, Zhang Biao knows Li Yuanhong's personality very well, and he also trusts Li Yuanhong.

When Zhang Biao found Li Yuanhong and told the truth of the matter, Li Yuanhong also had a hard time.

Mrs. Zhang Biao was arrested for taking drugs, and the facts are there. Parade in the streets is military and political. The rules of the government, as the governor of the capital, cannot take the lead in violating them.

On the other hand, Zhang Biao has been with him for so many years, can he easily refuse to come to himself as the governor for such a trivial matter?

"You are such a big governor, please don't do anything like this? My face is not valuable, I have to give the face of Lord Zhang Zhidong. The person in our family doesn't know the special relationship with Lord Zhang She is a person with a good face and a strong temperament, in case something happens, I see how you explain to Lord Zhang. ”

Zhang Biao was a little anxious when he saw that Li Yuanhong had not expressed his position for a long time.

Li Yuanhong thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a way, parade in the street is a must, military and political. The regulations of the government cannot be taken as child's play, and Zhang Biao's face must also be taken care of. The final solution is to let the descendants of Zhang Biao's family go to the street on behalf of his wife, and the problem can be regarded as the best of both worlds and solved.

Military. Another important move by the government is to stabilize finance. In order to have a stable monetary environment, the military government. The government ensures currency exchange. Previously circulating silver taels, silver dollars, copper dollars, and coins are allowed to be used as usual. The silver bills and silver dollar bills previously issued by the Hubei Official Money Bureau were also used as usual, which realized the historical evolution and policy continuity.
