The hundredth time, Tang Hualong's sacrifice to the sky hit a wall
October 13th. Tang Hualong and his friends Huang Zhongkai, Hu Ruilin, and Shu Lijian who studied in Japan went upstairs to the Advisory Bureau. Tang Hualong said to the soldiers guarding Li Yuanhong: "Go down. We're looking for the Governor of Rituk for something." When those soldiers saw that it was Tang Hualong, the chairman of the General Staff, they spoke. I had to hide to the side.
Tang Hualong looked at the room and saw that there were no outsiders. He said softly to Li Yuanhong: "We see the governor every day as if he was in prison. It's very unpleasant in my heart. He's a governor, too. How can they do this to you?"
Li Yuanhong didn't know what medicine was sold in the dragon gourd. glanced at Tang Hualong. Silent. Tang Hualong said: "We are all literati. As the saying goes. Xiucai rebelled. Three years will not work. But we all admire the prestige of the Governor. If you need our help. We'll do our best."
Li Yuanhong didn't look like he had any malice when he saw Tang Hualong. So he tentatively said, "I'm a martial artist. I don't understand these things about politics and people. The revolution was hasty. There's a lot going on in it. I don't understand it either. You people are young and promising. All of them are excellent molecules in Hubei. Hope you guys can help me. Revolution together."
Tang Hualong immediately said, "If the governor can use our place. We will definitely work. If we work together. The revolution will be successful. We know that what the Governor needs most at this time is a friend. If there is anything difficult about private matters. Just leave it to us."
The more people talked, the more speculative they became. I can't help but feel a little late to see each other. Tang Hualong sighed and said, "I think the governor is just a puppet. In fact, there is no power at all. All the power is in the hands of those people." Tang Hua Long's mouth flicked the door. A hint.
Li Yuanhong also drooped his head and said, "Alas...... What's the solution? Can I still not understand. But in our hands. There is no ......" Li Yuanhong slapped his gun. Meaning not to control the army. Tang Hualong turned his head and said, "I have a way. It can greatly increase the prestige of the governor. Hold real power."
Li Yuanhong was shocked. But on the surface he still looks indifferent. Say, "What's that for? Don't make any trouble. Once there is a mess. I'm guilty of a big crime."
Tang Hualong said: "I said this method. I don't think there's anything going on. And they're happy." As he spoke, he quietly muttered a few words in Li Yuanhong's ear. Li Yuanhong was very happy when he heard this. Lian Sheng said to Tang Hualong: "Okay. Good. It doesn't matter if it happens. It's okay if it doesn't work. I'm going to never forget you for the rest of my life."
Tang Hualong took advantage of the position and fame of the chairman of the general staff. And those cronies of parliamentarians everywhere in the junta to create public opinion. It is said that the Wuchang Uprising is in accordance with the time of the day. It was the Tangwu Revolution. But no solemn ceremony was held. There is no way to show the righteousness of the restoration. You can't call on the people of the world.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the military government.
Tang Hualong found Cai Jimin again. recounted their opinions.
Cai Jimin asked, "What do you mean. What should I do?" Tang Hualong said brightly: "I think we should set up an altar to worship heaven and earth and worship ancestors. This creates a kind of providence. Let some ordinary people who don't know the truth accept it. As long as the hearts of the people are towards the junta. The revolution will succeed. That's a lot bigger impact than printing thousands of newspapers."
Cai Jimin asked: "So. Who's going to accept Providence?" Tang Hualong immediately said, "Of course it's the governor of Lidu." Cai Jimin smiled bitterly. Say, "Do you think it's appropriate?" Tang Hualong said: "The Governor is the highest military governor in the military government. He does not accept providence. Who can accept the will of heaven?"
Cai Jimin shook his head. Say, "You, you. The mind is too simple. I don't think it's appropriate."
Gong Ren heard Tang Hualong and Cai Jimin's words. Immediately said angrily: "What kind of play is Li Yuanhong. What qualifications does he have to accept the will of Heaven?" Tang Qingying also interjected and said, "Maybe one day it will make me unhappy. One shot to destroy this bastard."
Cai Jimin said lukewarmly to Tang Hualong: "We have conditions for letting Li Yuanhong be the governor. It's to see his reputation. His reputation is now getting bigger and bigger. Do you still need us to elevate him again?" After Cai Jimin said these words, he no longer paid attention to Tang Hualong. I'm just going to take care of my own business.
Tang Hualong touched a nose of ash. Not dead yet. At this time, I saw Ju Zheng, a member of the alliance who had just returned from Shanghai. Thinking that Juzheng is actually not familiar with the situation in Wuhan. He was young and had little experience. Simple-minded. It's a good time to take advantage of it.
At that time, Ju Zheng was carrying a large number of Qing Dynasty archives alone. There is a shortage of manpower. Tired and sweating. Tang Hualong hurriedly called someone to help him carry the file. And took the opportunity to praise him and said, "Really capable. Don't move like that? There is work that can be done slowly. It's all like you. The revolution will be successful. We, the comrades of the Consultative Bureau, should learn from revolutionaries like you."
Ju Zheng didn't know much about Tang Hualong. I saw that the President of the General Senate took himself so seriously. I was very moved. Finished moving the file. Immediately took Tang Hualong's hand enthusiastically and said, "Thank you so much. Wuchang Shouyi. It has had a significant impact across the country. And the Wuchang Consultative Bureau. Again, so unequivocally in support of the junta. On behalf of the Alliance, I thank you. Thank you."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while. Tang Hualong said worriedly: "I still understand the hearts of the common people. Since the love of new awakening
Ronurhachi was founded to this day. It's already 295 years. In the course of almost 300 years. They are psychologically in people. Mental effects. It can't be said in three sentences or two. The Wuchang Uprising was a success. But if you want the common people to completely remove the mountain of the Qing Dynasty psychologically and spiritually. There's a form to be used."
Ju Zheng saw that Tang Hualong said it so reasonably. Silky. Suddenly came the spirit. Asked: "You say. How can the common people be psychologically removed from the mountain of the Qing Dynasty?"
Tang Hualong was attracted to Ju Zheng at a glance. There is play. He cheered up and said: "In the past, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled. Tell your subordinates to bury some paper talismans in the soil. It reads Chen Shengwang. People thought he was born to be a king. When Liu Bang rebelled. There was a big green snake blocking the way of the army. Liu Bang held a sword in his hand and killed him angrily. People thought he was a god. We can use all of that."
Ju Zheng said, "Aren't these all superstitions? Our revolutionary army doesn't want to promote these, ghosts, snakes, and gods." Tang Hualong said: "I also know that these things are fake. It's all smart people who used to be making a show. But there are times when these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. It can have a huge spiritual effect on the psychology of ordinary people. Now the Qing Dynasty has the Beiyang Six Towns New Army. Trained. The equipment is superb. How many troops do we have? Once the battle begins. The odds are only a few percent. But as the hearts of the people. We have to fight for it. As long as you win the hearts and minds of the people. There is hope for defeating the Qing army."
Ju Zheng was very excited when he heard it. asked Tang Hualong: "What method do you use to win the hearts of the people. Just say." Tang Hualong said: "We can have a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens. Let God instruct Li Yuanhong. Let him lead the people to overthrow the Qing Dynasty." Ju Zheng said happily: "Such a good idea. Did you tell the Strategy Division?" Tang Hualong sighed and said, "The people in the strategy department don't seem to be very interested." Ju Zheng said, "Don't worry. I'm going to do the work."
Ju Zheng found Cai Jimin. He also said that Tang Hualong was going to build an altar to worship the sky and respect Li Yuanhong.
Cai Jimin said to Ju Zheng: "You are the leader of the Alliance. I'm just going to report back to you. I have no objection to the worship of heaven. The question is whose image is to be erected. Let these people who bring the junta well. Let's go together. Literary clubs too. They are all junior officers. Push Li Yuanhong out. It was also a last resort. It's just to take advantage of his prestige and prestige. Organize our army. Now he's just an empty shelf. We have the real power. Once Li Yuanhong really grasped the real power. Can we revolutionaries still be able to control the situation?"
Ju Zheng listened to Cai Jimin's words. Think about it. Say, "You're right. But the current situation is also very serious. The junta has to twist the entire Hubei army into a rope. Gotta prepare for war. We also have to fight for the hearts and minds of the people. We must use Tang Hualong and these people to do a good job in the uprising work in the provinces."
Cai Jimin thought for a while. Say, "If you advocate building an altar to worship the heavens. Then let's do it. But. We need to get a good grasp of the scale. You have to be wary of people like Li Yuanhong. You have to guard against people like Tang Hualong."
Ju Zheng smiled and said, "I understand......"
On October 17th. In the parade factory in front of the Hubei military government. A huge altar-building and heavenly oath meeting was held. The altar was set up with a stage in advance. Sitting north and facing south. White bully on a huge background. Painting the Xuanyuan Spiritual Seat. There are four guard flags next to each of the spiritual seats. Set incense case before the spirit. Place an incense burner on the incense table. The thin thread of incense on the incense burner is smoky. Slowly up. Next to the incense burner are four large jars of old wine. Worship your ancestors. There is a huge copper incense burner under the stage. The sticks in the furnace are burning. Straight up to the sky. Further ahead were rows of soldiers lined up in neat formations. Next to it are countless ordinary people watching the excitement.
The ceremony was presided over by Tang Hualong. Tang Hualong is wearing a white robe. Pedal bast shoes. Hand holding a horse's tail to whisk the dust. Like a half-immortal Taoist. He saw that the time had come. Take a stand forward on the stage. shouted loudly: "Sacrifice to the heavens. The oath meeting is now open," Tang Hualong's hand went up. The audience immediately drummed in unison. Gongs and drums are noisy. Tang Hualong and Hu Ruilin went down and slowly guided Li Yuanhong towards the altar.
Li Yuanhong holds 3 thick sticks of incense. With heavy footsteps and a serious face, he walked to the big incense burner. Due to the raging fire in the furnace. The temperature is extremely high. It was so baked that Li Yuanhong couldn't go forward. He endured the baking. Close your eyes. The trembling hand finally lit 3 sticks of incense. His face was blackened. Like a clown.
Li Yuanhong holds a stick of incense. On your knees. I bowed three times to the sky. The words come to his mouth: "God bless. Bless the prosperity of our Hubei military government. All the best. All in one go. Defeat the thieves." Then stand up. Put 3 sticks of incense into the large incense burner baked by the flame.
Li Yuanhong was helped onto the stage by Tang Hualong and Hu Ruilin. He took over 3 sticks of incense sticks from Tang Hualong. Walk to the ancestral incense table and light it. Hold and kneel. Bowed three times. Said: "The ancestors appeared. Xuanyuan Shengshang blesses me with all the best for the Hubei Military Government. Safe. Wipe out the Manchus. Build a republic."
Li Yuanhong walked up to Tan Renfeng, who was already standing in front of the incense case. On your knees. Kowtowed three times. Sincerely: "You are a revolutionary old-timer. Please grant me the authority on behalf of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. I will aspire to revolution. No regrets for life. Do your best. Dead and gone."
Tan Renfeng held a gorgeous sword with a scabbard with infinite reverence in both hands. I closed my eyes and muttered two sentences. Then he pulled out a bright sword from its scabbard. Waved at the sky. It means the supreme power of the sword. It will definitely be able to slay demons and turn things around. Then he inserted the sword into its scabbard. Seriously put it on Li Yuanhong's back. Tan Renfeng waved a big flag handed over to him in the wind. It reads: "Sweep away the Tartars for the Heavenly Walkers".
Li Yuanhong stood up respectfully. He took over the banner with both hands in a serious manner.
At this time, the audience was thunderous. The crowd is excited. The gongs and drums once again rang out.
Li Yuanhong slowly turned around. It looks like a spring breeze. Look like the cat that ate the canary. Extra excited. He handed over the banner to Wang Anlan next to him. And then to the crowd in the audience. Bowed three times humbly. He said loudly: "Yuan Hong is determined to break with the Qing Dynasty. to conform to the time of day. Responding to the Revolution. The revolution has been unattained by decades of collective efforts and bloodshed. Today it was realized in the Wuchang Uprising. Is this what is attainable by human strength? This is Emperor Xuanyuan blessing us. From now on. I Wuhan junta will rise in the heart of China Wuchang. Now I am fortunate to have the authority given to me by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. I will lead the Wuchang Revolutionary Army. Swing north. Straight to Beijing. Unify the world. Establishment of a republican ......"
At this time. The common people were jubilant. Gongs, drums and firecrackers rang out again. The soldiers in the audience suddenly raised their guns. Shouted loudly: "Republic Republic Republic Republic" and shot into the air . Violent gunfire echoed in the sky for a long time. The gunfire not only shook Hubei. It also shook the whole of China.
