Chuwangtai is a small plateau in Wuchang City. It is also an important military warehouse of the Qing government in Hubei. The warehouse is filled with guns and ammunition that have been manufactured by the Hanyang Arsenal for more than 20 years. and foreign firearms and ammunition purchased over the years. It's a mountain of guns. Bullets like a sea.

Since the legend of the revolutionaries after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, the governor of Huguang, Rui Zheng, did not dare to take Chu Wangtai lightly. He wants to draw soldiers loyal to him to protect it. Helplessly, at the military meeting, Li Yuanhong was afraid of stimulating the Han soldiers. He didn't change the flag soldiers. But he still couldn't rest assured. He also sent Li Keguo, Ji Kanyi, and Cheng Bingrong to supervise the Han soldiers. Resolutely ensure that Chuwangtai is foolproof.

When the gunfire rang out from the engineering battalion . Ma Rong and Luo Bingshun, the revolutionary representatives of the left team guarding Chuwangtai, knew that the uprising had been launched. I was very excited. But I just have guns and no bullets. I'm really anxious. They discussed it. He led some of the soldiers. found Li Keguo, who had served as a battalion commander in the engineering battalion in the past. Pretending to be very anxious about the safety of Chu Wangtai. Asked: "Battalion Commander Li. It's messy out there right now. If someone comes to attack Chu Wangtai. What are we going to do?"

Li Keguo heard the thunder of gunfire outside. Anxious like ants on a hot pan. Ants in one's pants. In case the Chuwangtai is lost. That's going to be a head-off. However, these Han soldiers were very well guarded. Don't let them be given bullets. The defense is like a fictitious thing. If the rebels come to attack. That's how good it is.

Li Keguo saw Ma Rong and asked. Said affectionately: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days. Use the army for a while. How was our relationship before?" Ma Rong said: "Of course, our previous relationship is good. You have treated us like children. We see you like a parent." Li Keguo asked again: "In this chaos. An existential stake. I don't know if you'll listen to me." Ma Rong said sincerely: "You used to be our commander. Now also our chief. Of course we will follow your orders."

Li Keguo saw that the former soldiers still listened to him like this. The heart is both excited and happy. Moved to say, "I have a word. I don't know if you can listen to it." Ma Rong said loudly: "Listen. Why don't you listen? Listen resolutely." Li Keguo nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if they come empty-handed. Or come with a gun. You just beat me hard. As long as the Chu Wangtai is saved. You have made a great contribution to the court. I promise you a promotion and a fortune. But if you lose the Chu Lookout. You and I can't afford to have ten heads. Can only be beheaded. At the very least, I'll have to go to jail."

Ma Rong glanced at Luo Bingshun and the soldiers. The soldiers complained in unison: "We don't have a single bullet. What do you use to hit people."" The gun we have in our hands is nothing more than a wooden stick. It doesn't hurt to hit your body."" Camp Commander Li. Why don't you send us a knife? It's better to have a knife than a stick."

Li Keguo heard this. I was even happier in my heart. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The bullet is easy to say. The armory has it. I'll tell the guards to open the door. I'll just send it to you."

The guards opened the door to the armory. Two boxes of bullets were removed. Ma Rong, Luo Bingshun and the soldiers rushed up. I opened the box and snatched all the bullets. They pressed the yellow bullet into the chamber of the gun. I put a bulging bag in the bullet pouch again. My heart is so full.

Ma Rong looked at the soldiers. The soldiers also looked at him. There was a happy look on their faces. At this time, there was a messy gunfire near the Chu Wangtai.

Ma Rong shouted: "Stand in line." The soldiers quickly formed a neat line. Ma Rong glanced around with his determined gaze. Then said loudly: "Soldiers. The day we have been waiting for has finally arrived. Now press your previous position. Occupy Chuwangtai. Let's get started."

The soldiers moved quickly towards their respective targets. Soon. All important posts have been occupied by revolutionary soldiers.

At this time. The team of the 8th Engineer Battalion has been spotted moving rapidly towards this side. Li Keguo couldn't find the team officer Wu Zhaolin. I had to rush this way. While running, he shouted at Ma Rong: "Why don't you fight yet. Fight." Ma Rong said to Li Keguo solemnly, "Please leave Chuwangtai quickly. Our revolutionary party has revolted."

Li Keguo knew that he had been deceived. scolded: "What a Ma Rong. You lied to me. Wait until I catch you. I can't see you broken into pieces." Ma Rong shouted: "Don't leave again. We're going to shoot." Li Keguo still didn't leave. Ma Rong shouted, "Shoot."

The soldiers fired in a flurry. Only hit the bricks flying on the Chu Wangtai.

Li Keguo and some reactionary officers saw that the general trend was gone. I had to flee one after another.

Xiong Bingkun arrived at Chu Wangtai. Ma Rong and Luo Bingshun immediately led this team to join Xiong Bingkun's team. Xiong Bingkun also called Zheng Hanzhang and Xu Gancheng of the engineering battalion to quickly return to the camp to gather the comrades who had not yet come to Chuwangtai.

I heard that Chuwangtai has been occupied. Some comrades who did not dare to come to Chuwangtai strengthened their confidence. They all came to join the uprising. Soon. The number of comrades in the engineering battalion has increased to more than 300 people.

Jin Zhaorong, Zheng Hanzhang, Jiang Shijie, Ma Rong, Gong Ren and others tightly surrounded Xiong Bingkun. Urgent consultation on military affairs.

Gong Ren said: "Although we occupy Chu Wangtai. But we only have more than 300 people. Compare yourself to the enemy. The forces are too weak. If the enemy comes to attack. The consequences are unimaginable. Now we have to strike while the iron is hot. On the one hand develop our strength. All parties are urged to revolt quickly. On the one hand, attack the enemy. Disrupt the enemy's deployment. If you don't attack for the time being. At the very least, it is to harass the enemy. Don't let the enemy know what we're really doing."

Jin Zhaorong shook his gun and said, "Representative Xiong. Now we'll listen to you. How do you say. Let's do it."

Xiong Bingkun nodded. I briefly consulted with a few people. A set of combat plans was gradually formed in my mind. He told a few people about his battle plan. Several people agreed. Xiong Bingkun nodded and said, "Since everyone believes in me. Then I'll give you the order." Everyone said in unison, "Declare it." The sooner the better."

Xiong Bingkun stood on a high place. Seeing the chaos on the Chuwang Tower. Some soldiers are collecting bullets. Some soldiers wandered around with guns on their backs. Some soldiers sat on the sidelines smoking cigarettes and resting. Some soldiers had small meetings in twos and threes. Xiong Bingkun shouted: "Revolutionary soldiers. I declare in my capacity as a representative of the revolution of the 8th Battalion of the Workers' Battalion. Now stand in line and assemble. Issue an order."

Xiong Bingkun shouted these words. Soldiers from the Communist Association and the Literary Society came to gather and stand in line. But there are also those who have not joined the revolutionary organization. Stand aside and watch the excitement. Xiong Bingkun was anxious. But there is no way. Or gave 10 orders in one go:

"1. The army should use the word 'revolutionary army'. It is called the 'Hubei Revolutionary Army'. Temporary use of the old system. 2. Our army is fighting tonight. should be used to undermine the Hubei administrative organs. Complete the principle of Wuchang independence. 3. The greatest goal of the army's operations is to eliminate the Governor's Office ......".

Gong Ren thought to himself. These orders are of little use to the average soldier. The average person can't remember so many things. Some orders are simply given to the commander who leads the troops.

When Xiong Bingkun issued the order. The soldiers in the circle looked dazed. I don't know why. Soldiers outside the circle are still chirping in twos and threes.

Gong Ren sighed. said to Tang Qingying: "Those who are soldiers don't listen to Xiong Bingkun. That's the problem." Tang Qingying gritted her teeth and said, "What about Deng Yulin. What about Jiang Yiwu. What about Liu Gong. Where have all these people gone? Why can't I find a single person at a critical moment."

Gong Ren heard a few soldiers outside the circle muttering, "What is this talking about? On what basis do you command us?" Another soldier said, "This man's name is Xiong Bingkun. It's just a regular look at the three sheds of the back team. What's the big deal. What are you talking about? Don't listen to him."

Gong Ren asked Jin Zhaorong: "Are those soldiers our people?" Jin Zhaorong looked at it and said, "No. They are just ordinary soldiers. In response to the uprising. Temporarily joined the team." Gong Ren said to Jin Zhaorong: "Hurry up and convey it to our backbone. To defend our bear representatives. Such a mess of not obeying orders. It's too dangerous."

Kim Zhaorong immediately went to tell the people of the Communist Association and the Literary Society. Let them maintain Xiong Bingkun's prestige.

Gong Ren stood next to Xiong Bingkun. shouted from below: "Comrade soldiers. Since everyone is a revolutionary soldier. It is necessary to observe revolutionary discipline. Now the command has been given. Let's go ahead and do it."

Gong Ren shouted. One soldier raised a gun and shouted, "What are you doing? Why don't we have an officer here that we trust to lead. We're not convinced." The soldier shouted. Several other people followed him.

Tang Qingying was anxious. Pulled out the pistol. You have to use force. Gong Ren quickly pulled her aside. Tell her: "This time. Don't make a mess." Jin Zhaorong also stood on a high place and shouted: "Revolutionary soldiers. A soldier is to obey orders resolutely. We listen to what the bears represent. Be resolute in carrying out orders." Jin Zhaorong shouted. Some soldiers of the Communist Association and the Literary Society supported Kim Zhaorong. But the soldiers outside the circle still didn't listen. Noisy and shouting on the side.

The soldiers gradually formed a faction with the Communist Association and the Literary Society. An array of other soldiers. Noisy on both sides. The more noisy the bigger the differences.

At this time. Soldier Wang Changlin found Wu Zhaolin, the officer of the left team. The soldiers looked at it. There was a look of surprise on their faces. They all stepped forward. Lean next to him.

Gong Ren asked Jin Zhaorong, "What does this person do?" Jin Zhaorong said: "This person is the officer of the left team. His name is Wu Zhaolin. Originally participated in the day notice. There are revolutionary tendencies. After the Prison of Bingwu (November 23, 1906 in the lunar calendar). and lost contact with the revolutionary organization. Now the political leanings are ominous. However, this person is a graduate of the Hubei Staff School. Military knowledge is pretty good. Quite a capable person."

At this time. Wang Changlin pulled Wu Zhaolin to find Xiong Bingkun again. It turns out that the two of them also know each other. It's just not very familiar. Xiong Bingkun asked Wu Zhaolin: "Beat the dog. Would you like it or not?" Wu Zhaolin said: "The Japanese Notification Society is anti-Qing dogs. What else do you want to say?" Xiong Bingkun shook Wu Zhaolin's hand enthusiastically. Said happily: "That's good. We are revolutionary comrades."

Xiong Bingkun turned around again. discussed with Jin Zhaorong and Gong Ren in a whisper: "Since Wu Zhaolin is willing to revolution. He also has command skills. How about making him commander-in-chief." Jin Zhaorong hurriedly pulled Xiong Bingkun aside. Whispered, "No. No way. He is not a member of the Communist Association or the Literary Society. How can you make him the commander-in-chief?" Gong Ren also said, "No. Cannot. It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God. When the time comes, I'm afraid that the troops won't be able to control it."

Xiong Bingkun said: "You don't look at those people. They listened to Wu Zhaolin. There is no way to do it. In this way, the two sides are united. The troops will be able to fight. If this goes down. No one listens to anyone. The troops are very dangerous."

Jin Zhaorong listened to Xiong Bingkun's words. Tilted his head. No more talking. Gong Ren thought about it. There's nothing to be done about it for a while. It's better for the two factions to unite for the time being. If you can fight first, then you can fight. I no longer oppose Xiong Bingkun's opinion.

Xiong Bingkun said to Wu Zhaolin in the past: "Let you be the temporary commander-in-chief. Do it or not." Wu Zhaolin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No. No way. I, Wu Zhaolin, He De, how can I. You don't kill me. I can't thank you enough. How can you be the commander-in-chief again? No way. No, you can't." Some of the soldiers next to him encouraged Wu Zhaolin and said, "Okay. Okay. Officer Wu has high moral knowledge. Not only the comrades of the camp admired. The whole army has always admired it."" Our long-standing officer is the secretary of the Japanese Notification Association. That's why I'm going to make you commander-in-chief. I hope the team officers don't shirk."

Wu Zhaolin said: "I have always longed for revolution. Today's uprising. It's what I want. But after your uprising. The ranks are chaotic. Very noisy. This is really a taboo for soldiers. Moreover, the night battle is mainly quiet. Otherwise, it cannot be directed. Since we are revolutionary. For the military. Discipline must be observed. Absolute obedience to orders. to be able to secure the odds. The ferocity of the signs. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has no way. I know that. Like today's uprising. Only my engineering battalion got into trouble. No response everywhere. I think it's really dangerous. I will never accept the position of commander-in-chief. You'd better be smart."

The soldiers said, "Since the officer said that the army should obey orders. We must obey. If there is disobedience. or those who have escaped. Ask the commander-in-chief to act in accordance with military law."" Those of us. Willing to obey orders. It's just going to the soup. I don't hesitate."

Xiong Bingkun also advised Wu Zhaolin: "Since the soldiers support you. Just do it. The people of our Communist Association and the Literary Society also agreed." Wu Zhaolin still shook his head vigorously: "No. No way. It's okay for me to be a normal squad leader. It's not okay to be a commander-in-chief. Not that capable."

Jin Zhaorong was anxious. He pushed Wu Zhaolin with the butt of his gun and said, "Let you do it. You just do it. How is it so mother-in-law. If the clear dog calls. It's too late to say anything. None of us will survive."

Wu Zhaolin took a look. There's no time left to put it off. I had to say to Xiong Bingkun: "I'm only a temporary commander. I'm not going to do it after this fight. It's this battle. You'll have to hold on to the back, too. If you don't hold on. I can't do it." Xiong Bingkun said: "I'm still a deputy. I'm up behind me for something." Wu Zhaolin said: "Then I have no choice but to be respectful and obey my fate. This is a messenger who kills the head. I'm not going to let it go."

Wu Zhaolin and Xiong Bingkun immediately carefully studied the military situation. It's pretty much researched. Wu Zhaolin made a stop at a high place. Xiong Bingkun also stood tightly next to him. The soldiers below immediately stopped talking. Gaze intently at these two people from above. Wu Zhaolin shouted: "The whole battalion of revolutionary soldiers. Now stand in line and assemble."

There was a confusion among the soldiers below. Soon follow the old compilation. Lined up in neat formations. There was no more idler next to him.

Wu Zhaolin said in a loud voice: "The soldiers and revolutionary representatives elected me as the temporary commander-in-chief. You approve of it." The soldiers below shouted, "Yes." Wu Zhaolin asked again: "Obey the order." The crowd shouted, "Obey." Wu Zhaolin said again: "Those who violate the order will be beheaded. No, you can't." They said, "Yes." Wu Zhaolin said solemnly: "Okay. I'll issue the order now."

The soldiers below were excited. Wu Zhaolin glanced down at everyone majestically. shouted: "Front platoon leader Wu Zhenglin." Wu Zhenglin shouted, "Here." Immediately majestic. Running over with a gun in a rage. Wu Zhaolin ordered him: "You lead the first and second platoons of the front team. Proceed through the Jin sluice gate to the main street of the security gate. Attack in front of the Governor's Office."

Wu Zhenglin shouted, "Yes." Immediately led the first and second platoons of the front team to carry out the order.

Wu Zhaolin shouted again: "The platoon commander of the right team is famous." Kuang Minggong shouted: "Here." came to Wu Zhaolin. Wu Zhaolin ordered him: "You immediately lead the first and second platoons of the right team. Advance through Ziyang Bridge to Wangfukou search. Attack after the Governor's Office."

Kuang Minggong shouted, "Yes." Immediately led the first and second platoons of the right team to carry out the order.

Wu Zhaolin then ordered Ma Rong to lead a platoon. Attack the southeast end of the gendarmerie. Jin Zhaorong led a platoon. Attack to the southwest of the gendarmerie. The two rows are connected to each other. Eliminate the gendarmerie instantly; Zhou Zhankui led two platoons of troops. Stick to the position at the northern end of Chuwang; Xu Shaobin led a platoon of soldiers. Capture the Neutralization Gate first. Respond to Jin Zhaorong and then welcome the artillery team into the city; Chen Youhui led a class. reconnoiter near Tongxiang Gate; Tang Rongbin led a squad of soldiers. Reconnoiter near the Zhonghe Gate; Luo Bingshun led a team of soldiers. Put Chuwangtai near traffic, wires, etc. total destruction; The rest are the general reserves. Led by Deputy Conductor Xiong Bingkun. Standby at the Taipei end of Chuwang. Tonight's slogan is "Xinghan".

After the order is given. Each team carried an abundance of ammunition received from the Chuwangtai armory. Go and complete your task now. Soon. Attacking gunfire rang out everywhere.

Xiong Bingkun breathed a sigh of relief. Gong Ren and Tang Qingying also breathed a sigh of relief. Gong Ren whispered to Tang Qingying: "It seems. Wu Zhaolin still has two more hits." Tang Qingying whispered unconvinced: "I'm familiar with the old routine. There are no two moments. It's not in vain that I wore this military uniform. It's all bad for the soldiers. Why do they have to listen to Wu Zhaolin?"

Half an hour later. Ma Ronglai reported: "Our platoon and Jin Zhaorong have beheaded more than 10 flag soldiers in the gendarmerie camp. and occupied the gendarmerie battalion." Wu Zhaolin was overjoyed when he heard this. Immediately ordered Ma Rong to go out of the Zhonghe Gate to cover the 8th standard and enter the city. He also ordered Kim Zhaorong to defend the neutralization gate.

Soon. Wu Zhenglin and Kuang Minggong also returned.4 platoons of people.There was less than 1 platoon left.Wu Zhaolin was furious when he saw this.Immediately ordered: "Come on. Tie up Wu Zhenglin and Kuang Minggong to me." Four soldiers came up and tied up two of them. Wu Zhaolin ordered loudly: "Pull out. Shot."

Xiong Bingkun was shocked when he saw this. Hurriedly persuaded Wu Zhaolin: "They can't complete the task. I can't just blame them. It's the enemy that's too strong. Now there is a fierce battle. Behead the officer first. It's not good for us." Wu Zhaolin is still angry. He said angrily: "Since the war is unfavorable. Soldiers suffered heavy losses. Why are you both coming back? The prefect issues an order. You should find a way to get it done. It's all the same as you. How can the order be carried out?"

Wu Zhenglin and Kuang Minggong lowered their heads. Don't say a word. Just waiting for one to die.

Gong Ren thought that this matter was complicated. I am also afraid that Wu Zhaolin will kill innocents indiscriminately. Hurt the vitality of the revolutionary army. Let's save them first. So he said to Wu Zhaolin: "It seems that they also know that they are wrong. Now is the time to employ people. Some battles are fought. Stay for a while. Can't they be guilty of meritorious service?"

Wu Zhaolin waved his hand to the two of them. I don't want to pay attention to them anymore. The soldiers untied the two of them. Wu Zhenglin and Kuang Minggong hurriedly lowered their heads and went down.
