September 28th. Hunan Jiao Dafeng sent a letter to the Wuchang Revolutionary Command to say. Due to the lack of preparation for the uprising on October 6. Please hold back for 10 days. The Wuchang Revolutionary Command has been studied. The decision is scheduled for October 16th. Hubei and Hunan provinces revolted at the same time.

October 9, 1911, 4 p.m. In the secret office at No. 14, Baoshanli, Russian Concession, Hankow. As the date of the uprising is looming. The comrades are working intensely and hecticly. Ding Lizhong and Li Zuodong stamped the printed revolutionary banknotes on a small round table in the room. Wang Boyu is working on documents. Two comrades of the army are testing pistols. Deng Yulin went out to buy a watch and didn't come back.

Sun Wu was tired. Sit under the window for a while. It occurred to him that . I bought a few boxes of bombs and I don't know how effective it is. Once it is blown up, it does not sound. I don't know how much it will be delayed. It's really reassuring. Sun Wu took a bomb out of the box. Looking left and right is still not at ease. And he took a basin. Open the bomb. Use a chopstick to pull some black powder out of the bomb. Then put it in the basin. Ready to give it a try.

At this time. It happened that Liu Gong's younger brother Liu Tong came to the agency. He saw pistols and bombs in the house. Very curious. Just stand aside and watch the excitement.

Since the basin is not wiped clean. The powder in the basin quickly became wet. Sun Wu had no choice but to find a piece of dry cloth. Wipe the explosives clean. I used my chopsticks to take out a little more powder than last time and put it in the basin. I looked at the powder and it didn't get wet. Just think about how to test the performance of explosives.

Liu Tong was idle and bored. He took out a cigarette and lit it. Also look into the basin. A casual flick of cigarette ash. It so happened that the soot fell on the gunpowder. I only heard a "whoop" sound. Gunpowder deflagration. Smoke rises. Liu Tong is far away. Raise your head quickly. No injuries. And Sun Wu is close. Slow head up. The face and right hand were burned at once. Wang Boyu's right eye was also burned by the flying explosives.

Unexpected events. To surprise everyone. Li Chok Dong was the first to reflect. Hurriedly removed a kaftan from a hanger in the corner of the house. It was suddenly covered on Sun Wu's head. Put out the fire on Sun Wu's head. Ding Lizhong and the two comrades of the army immediately gave Sun Wu and Wang Boyu a simple bag. At this time. Liu Gong and a few comrades in the other room heard the sound in this room. Ran in too. Take a look at the scene. Liu Gong immediately shouted to Li Zuodong: "Help them go to the hospital."

Li Zuodong, Ding Lizhong and two comrades from the army hurriedly helped Sun Wu and Wang Boyu downstairs to the hospital.

At this time. There was an Indian patrol with a black lacquer stick wrapped in a red envelope passing by. He saw black smoke coming out of the window. Thought it was a fire. Hurried upstairs. When going upstairs. I saw 4 people walking downstairs with 2 people with their heads covered. Thought it was a patient. There is no tube.

4 people went downstairs with 2 wounded numbers. Immediately shouted two rickshaws. Put Sun Wu and Wang Boyu in the car. Rush to Tongren Hospital.

The upstairs door hadn't closed yet. The patrol broke in at once. He saw a house full of smoke and a panicked crowd. On the ground are a few boxes of bombs. Four or five hundred sets of military uniforms, more than 100 pistols, I couldn't help but be startled, and before everyone could report it, the patrol turned around and went downstairs.

After the boss heard about the patrol report. Throw a fit. Isn't this a secret possession of arms in his territory? If the Governor of Huguang, Rui Zheng, found out about this and negotiated with him head-on. What did he say? So on the one hand, he led the patrol to quickly come to search. On the one hand, inform Jianghan Guan Dao Qi Yaoshan.

Qi Yaoshan listened to this. I was also shocked when I came up first. But then I thought about it. Isn't this a good opportunity to catch the revolutionary party for promotion and fortune? And so it rose up again. He immediately mobilized the patrol police. Arrest the revolutionary party in Baoshan. Also call Ruizheng. Exaggerating. Take the opportunity to invite credit.

Liu Gong on the agency saw a patrol break in and leave. It's not good to know that big things are good. Quickly call someone to put the table on top of the door. The first thing he thought about was how to quickly get the important documents out of the office. There are specific plans for the uprising and a roster of personnel. But the papers were locked in a large, sturdy wooden box in the room. The comrade who took the key is not there. It's really hotter and more cottony. The thirstier you are, the more salt you eat. was so anxious that Liu Gong shouted: "Quick. Fast. Documents in a box. Take it out."

He and the rest of his comrades were looking for where to find the axe. I couldn't find anything else. I can only kick and smash with a chair again. At this moment, Liu Gong only felt that the six gods had no master. Upset. The brain is the same as blowing up. By this time, the stairs had been heard clattering with the sound of footsteps.

Soon. The front door has been knocked on "Dang Dang Dang. Rang into an egg. The patrolmen can't knock on the door. Shouting and screaming in foreign languages. Slam the door hard. The door of the house "knock knock. "Knock knock" seems to be about to be smashed.

Liu Gong saw that there was no way out. I had to give the order to quickly retreat through the back door. When Liu Gong came out of the back door. A Russian patrol is approaching. Asked Liu Gong: "What's going on in the house?" Liu Gong covered his face with his hands and said, "Nothing. Kerosene caught fire in the house." Then hurry away.

After Deng Yulin came back from buying a watch. Walk to the mouth of the alley. I saw a lot of people and patrolling. Just ask the people around you who are looking around about the situation. That's when I realized that something had happened in the agency. He thought about the fact that there were many important documents in the office. I don't know if it's transferred out. My heart was so anxious that it burned like a fire. Immediately rushed to the Changqingli Agency. There I met Liu Gong and Li Zuodong. When he learned that none of the documents in the agency had been transferred. Suddenly, it felt like a basin of cold water splashed from the head to the heel. The whole body was shaken. It was as if the sky had fallen.

Li Chokdong said to Deng Yulin: "Sun Wu has now been sent to Tongren Hospital for treatment. He's going to talk to you. I want you to hurry up." Deng Yulin agreed. I hurried to Tongren Hospital.

Liu Gong is in the Changqing Alley. I'm not in a hurry to sit down. Neither is the station. Just now, the No. 14 agency in Baoshanli has been captured by the Russian patrol. There are many important documents out there. In particular, the roster of personnel. The enemy will follow the map. Arrest our revolutionary comrades one by one. I wonder how many revolutionaries will fall to the ground......

At this time, Liu Tong stood aside with his head drooping. I was so scared that I didn't dare to say a word.

Liu Gong looked at this younger brother dressed as a foreign student. If you are angry, you won't fight in one place. He snorted angrily and reprimanded Liu Tong and said, "Our business. What are you fooling about? In school. There are so many fun things to do on the street. You just don't go. Why do you drill into our crowd?" Liu Tong said timidly: "In school. . . On the road. Nothing fun. I'm tired of playing. You've got a lot of people there. and mysterious; I'm curious. Let's see what you're all up to."

Liu Gong was furious. Scolded: "You know you. What a mess it caused. You cigarette. How many lives of our comrades will be burned . You've ruined our big deal."

Liu Tong asked a little incomprehensibly: "Is it so serious. Didn't you just burn two people?" Liu Gong stomped his feet and shouted: "Play the piano to the cow. Cast pearls before swine. It's just a smeared lip service. I can't explain what you're talking about."

Liu Tong's eyes rolled. I mustered up the courage to say, "Brother. Even if I'm doing the wrong thing. Can't I do something for you? Leave it to me. I'm going to pay for it. Let you see. Liu Gong's younger brother is not a vegetarian either."

Liu Gong thought. In his house No. 1 in Baoshanli. There are also many important documents. Once these documents fall into the hands of the patrolmen. will play a more destructive role.

Liu Gong said to Liu Tong: "You are so old. It's time to do some work. Can you do something for me?" Liu Tongkou agreed: "No problem. Elder brother. You can rest assured." Liu Gong said: "You accompany your sister-in-law to go home quickly. Get those papers back in the drawer at home as soon as possible. Can't get it back. It's okay to burn it. You can't let the patrolmen get away anyway. You can do that."

Liu Tong smiled and said, "You look down on me too much. Elder brother. Isn't this a good thing to do? I'll see if there's a patrol at the door. No words. Get those files back. I'll leave it to you. If there is a patrol. There's nothing I can do about it. I'll just tell you about it."

Liu Gong thought about it. It seems that Liu Tong is also quite smart. You don't have to teach it. So he nodded and said, "That's it. Go and go back quickly. Be careful." Liu Tong smiled and said, "You can rest assured. Elder brother. I can't do that. What else can there be. Anyway, I'm also Liu Gong's younger brother."

Liu Tong called his sister-in-law Li Shuqing to hurry home to get the documents.

After Liu Tong left. Liu Gong was a little uneasy in his heart. After the No. 14 office in Boshan Lane was copied. They will not follow the place in the file. We searched No. 1 Boseon-ri again. But on second thought. Russian patrol found documents. Then go to the Qing government. The Qing government contacted the patrol again. It's going to take a while. I'm afraid not so fast. Besides, as long as there is a silver lining. Also move the documents out of the house or destroy them on the spot.

Liu Tong accompanied his sister-in-law home. First look around the doorway alertly. No suspicious characters were found. Only then did I quietly approach the door. He pulled the key out of his pocket. Insert the key into the lock hole. One twist...... The moment the door opened. Several Russian patrols suddenly swarmed up. Caught Liu Tong and Li Shuqing.

Liu Tong didn't know. A few days before the Wuchang uprising. The Qing side had long known the news of the revolutionary party's uprising. He also requested the Russian Consul General in Hankow to provide him with great assistance in the arrest of the revolutionary party. After the crash of No. 14 in Boseon-ri. The Russian Consul General in Hankow, Ostroverhoff, immediately ordered the Russian patrol to conduct a careful search. Copying the roster of personnel of No. 14 Baoshanli and the seal flag. and in accordance with the contents of the seized documents. The revolutionary organs were monitored......

After Liu Gong learned the news of Liu Tong and Li Shuqing's arrest in Changqing. Feel that the situation is more serious. In particular, what didn't reassure him was Liu Tong. Liu Tong is not a member of the Commons. But he's active by nature. It's okay to mess around and ask. Many revolutionaries knew him as their younger brother. And he doesn't shy away from him. So he knew many revolutionary secrets. Once under the severe torture of the Qing Dynasty officials. Pampered and pampered since he was a child, he didn't know if he could withstand the severe test. If you can't stand the torture, you can confide in your true feelings. Revolutionary organs in Hankow. The revolutionary organs of Wuchang were completely destroyed......

Liu Gong immediately ordered a comrade. Quickly go to Tongren Hospital. Transfer Sun Wu out. Transferred to the home of Huangyushan, No. 19, Gonghe Lane, German Concession. He also ordered Ding Lizhong and Wang Boyu, who had his eyes cured, to quickly inform all the revolutionary organs. Move quickly to a safe place.

Deng Yulin followed Li Zuodong's words. Quickly rushed to the French Concession Tongren Hospital. Found Sun Wu. Sun Wu's head was wrapped in thick gauze. Only two eyes are exposed. The right hand is also wrapped in thick gauze. Sun Wu saw Deng Yulin coming in. The left hand grabbed his hand and said, "Yulin. It came at the right time. It came at the right time. I'm in a hurry."

Deng Yulin held Sun Wu's hand tightly with both hands and said, "If you have something to say, speak slowly. Hold your horses. Don't worry." Sun Wu said: "You must know the matter. The situation is critical. All of our plans and personnel for the uprising have been exposed. There are no secrets left. You see how it is."

Deng Yulin said: "You are the Minister of Armaments. It's up to you." Sun Wu said: "I see only an immediate uprising. We can still survive death. Don't say anything else. No other plans are allowed." Deng Yulin said: "I think the same. What are the instructions. You can place it."

Sun Wu said: "You quickly rushed to the military headquarters of Xiaochao Street in Wuchang. Find Jiang Yiwu or Liu Fuji. Debrief here. And state my opinion. Organize an uprising immediately. The sooner the better. One minute in the evening. There will be more comrades to die for."

Deng Yulin nodded and said, "Okay. I'll go right away." Sun Wu pushed his hand and said, "Go quickly." Deng Yulin said: "Then you take care." Sun Wu waved at him and said, "Go quickly. Go for it. The sooner the better. The sooner the better......"

Jiang Yiwu, who was stationed in Yuezhou, Hunan with his troops, received an order from the Wuchang Revolutionary General Headquarters to immediately rush back to Wuchang to preside over the uprising. He made up a matter to the chief and took a leave. Hurriedly set off from Yuezhou. On the morning of October 9th, I arrived in Wuchang. He first went to Cai Dafu's house to ask about the situation. He also accompanied Cai Dafu to the military headquarters at No. 85 Xiaochao Street. At this time, Liu Fuji, Wang Xianxian, Chen Lei and others had already gathered here.

Liu Fuji saw that Jiang Yiwu was coming. I was overjoyed. I feel that I have a backbone in my heart. It's tea making and giving up your seat. It's like reuniting a loved one after a long absence.

Sit for a while. Jiang Yiwu asked: "I have been in Yuezhou for a long time. The situation here is also unclear. Now the forces of our party. Is it okay to have an accident?" Liu Fuji said solemnly: "The situation these days. Very dangerous. Maybe when. Clear dogs may suddenly surround here. Get us all together. To talk about our strength. In the army. I'm afraid nine out of ten people are revolutionaries. If it's an example. Not only can you occupy Wuchang. It's to hit Beijing. There was nothing difficult about it."

Jiang Yiwu thought about it for a while. He asked again: "Ju Zheng, who was sent to Shanghai last month. YANG Yuru. Please Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, Tan Renfeng. I don't know how it's going."

Liu Fuji said: "Yang Yuru only came back a few days ago. Ju Zheng is still in Shanghai. Since Ju Zheng and Yang Yuru arrived in Shanghai. Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng secretly telegraphed Huang Xing about the situation here. Huang Xing called back at the time and said: 'The provincial organs. There's not a single go. Hubei Province. I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in the uprising. It must be late to the beginning of September (lunar calendar) and to start at the same time as the eleven provinces.' and heard that Huang Xing arrived in Shanghai at the end of the month. Furnish everything. But our comrades in the army . I heard that the uprising will be postponed for a few days. are not happy. Somebody asked me to telegraph every day. Urging you to come back. Today now that you have come. Representatives of various standards and battalions can be summoned as soon as possible. Let's talk about it. See if the uprising is postponed. If it's postponed. It can be postponed for a few days."

Jiang Yiwu listened. I was silent for a long time. Only then did he say: "Huang Xing is a person. Know what to expect. Be careful in everything. Nature is foolproof. We have a lot of people here though. But the land is in the center of China. In the event of an uprising. The Qing troops from all the provinces have come to attack us. How do we parry. It's likely to be a failure. Moreover, we have been oppressed by the Manchus for more than 200 years. Do you still care about these days? Rather than quick and reactive. It's better to be late than to be beneficial." Liu Fuji said again: "Your opinion is not bad. Same as I thought. Helplessly, they are all gearing up. Eager. It seems that I can't wait for a while. We're going to bring them here. Let's talk about it together." Jiang Yiwu nodded and said, "Okay. Then I'll let you know."

Liu Fuji immediately sent people to the infantry, horse, worker, baggage, and artillery battalions to issue an urgent notice. Representatives of all standards and battalions are invited to come to the meeting as soon as possible. Not much time. Representatives of various standards and battalions have arrived one after another.

Jiang Yiwu saw that the delegates had arrived. Just postpone the meaning of the uprising of Huang Xing. Euphemistically told everyone. Then he said to the delegates, "I don't know what you think. I've got you all here today. That's what it is."

As soon as I heard that the uprising was going to be postponed again. There was a lot of discussion among the delegates. are opposed. Xiong Bingkun, a representative of the 8th Engineering Battalion, said: "There are a lot of rumors outside now. Clear the dog and catch people everywhere. Very rampant. News of our August 15 (lunar calendar) uprising. Even the common people know about it. It's all in the newspapers. It's no secret for a long time. The date of our uprising has been postponed from October 6th to October 16th. Now it's going to be postponed. If you don't revolt soon. How can such people keep secrets. If you can't keep the secret, there will be accidents. When the time comes, it will be too late to regret it. Not to mention the comrades in the army . It has accounted for 10 of the **. Wuhan Three Towns at your fingertips. Why should we listen to other people's opinions? The date of the uprising has been postponed again and again."

Jiang Yiwu said: "Brother, I mean. It's not that you don't want to revolt early. But I'm afraid that once we revolt here. There is no aid outside. Isn't it easy to gain and easy to lose? What's more, brother, it's been more than half a month since I left Wuchang. The situation inside and outside the party. It's not very clear. Everyone, please give me half a month. Brother, I'll investigate the investigation well. Research Studies. Arrange it calmly. Until then. Not only do we have provincial rescue. Nor will there be haste in the locality. It's my bias alone. Please consider it."

The delegates listened to Jiang Yiwu's words. Knowing that this is Jiang Yiwu, he is cautious. Some of them have no opinions.

Cai Jimin said: "Since this is the case. We waited patiently for a few more days to nothing. But now the wind outside is not good. In the event of an emergency. What do we do about it?" Jiang Yiwu said: "If there is an emergency. Brother, I have my own way of dealing with it. You can rest assured."

Everyone saw that Jiang Yiwu was so calm and calm. and no longer express objections. Soon. Gradually dispersed.

It's about 5 o'clock. Deng Yulin suddenly broke into the door. When he saw Jiang Yiwu, he didn't bother to say hello. Anxiously yelled, "Oh no. Oh no. The organs of Hankow are finished. It was copied by the Qing army. All the lists were searched by the Qing army."

Jiang Yiwu, Liu Fuji and others felt inexplicable when they heard these words. Jiang Yiwu asked in surprise, "What the hell is going on. Illustrate the point."

Deng Yulin fiddled with Sun Wu's bomb. Liu Tong accidentally flicked the soot into the gunpowder. Sun Wu was burned. It happened that the patrol was patrolling downstairs and went upstairs to check. The Russian patrol told me about the copied organs.

Jiang Yiwu listened. I stared at my eyes and didn't speak for a long time. It took a long time to sigh. Said slowly: "Alas. I never thought of it. That's going to be ......"

The comrades also felt that the incident was sudden. One by one, their faces were gloomy. are thinking about the current critical situation. How to deal with it is the best policy.

Long. Liu Fuji said firmly: "This is already the case. Simply don't do it. Two endless. Let's revolt tonight." Deng Yulin immediately supported his opinion and said: "Very good. That's it. Sun Wu asked me to carry a letter and say. His opinion was also an immediate uprising. Commander Chiang. Now that we have elected you as Commander-in-Chief. Give this command. Ready to revolt tonight. It's not too early now. If there is an uprising tonight. Give the order a little earlier. so that the battalions may hurry up and prepare."

Wang Xianxian, Zhang Tingfu, Chen Lei and others also supported the immediate uprising with one voice.

Jiang Yiwu shook his head. Don't speak. Everyone urged again: "Commander-in-chief. Hurry up and give orders."

Jiang Yiwu said slowly: "It was not easy for me to convince the representatives of the battalions in the morning. Postpone the uprising. Sun Wu also said that an uprising should be held immediately. How can I give orders again? Isn't this a change of day? Let's talk about postponing it to the end of September in the lunar calendar. This is what Huang Xing meant. It is also a unified step for the whole country. Shoot the head bird. In the event of an uprising. We will inevitably be besieged on all sides by the Qing army. It is inevitable not to be beaten passively. Failure is justified."

Deng Yulin stomped his feet anxiously and said, "The situation has changed. It's time to get to the point. Once all the mechanisms are destroyed. We want to have a meeting again. It's going to be hard to issue another order." Liu Fuji looked at Jiang Yiwu's eyes. Said: "Commander-in-Chief Chiang. Now that the plans for the uprising have been exposed. What are we still hesitating about. There should be an immediate uprising. If it's late. People are gone. What else are you talking about? Nothing."

Jiang Yiwu shook his head and said, "You guys are talking so lightly. The situation is unknown. Messing around. We have committed the taboo of war. It's better to wait a little longer. Last time, something happened to the Nanhu artillery team. Isn't it gone? Such a big thing. Running horses are running horses. Don't mess with your hooves. Be calm. Hold your breath."

Liu Fuji pulled out his pistol. Pointing to Jiang Yiwu's head, he said, "No. You're the commander-in-chief. The lives of tens of thousands of people in the new army are in your hands. The situation is critical today. Tremble in the balance. You're still undecided. Aren't you afraid of death?" Deng Yulin sighed and said, "Liu Tong is young. I'm afraid of a punishment. Everything. None of us will be able to live." Peng Chufan also touched Jiang Yiwu's head and said, "It's the same as what Deng Yulin said. You'll have a few more days to keep your head."

A few people make a hard and soft piece. Forced Jiang Yiwu to be in a hurry. He changed color and said, "You really think I'm afraid of death. For the revolution. My head. I didn't want it for a long time. Fight with them. Tonight. Let's start an uprising."

The crowd said in unison, "Yes." Okay."

Liu Fuji drafted the notice of the uprising in public. After drafting. Handed over to Jiang Yiwu for revision.

Jiang Yiwu looked at it. Consent. Not a word was changed. He then signed his name next to the commander-in-chief. And had people copy more than 20 copies. After the transcription is done. Jiang Yiwu said to everyone: "Today's order. It's a temporary change. I told the delegates to delay the uprising for a few days. And now suddenly they are called to revolt tonight. Isn't that a paradox. So when you send orders. The reason must be detailed. so that they will not be misunderstood." After speaking. I ordered all the comrades to send the orders separately.

By this time the clock on the wall had struck 6 times. Jiang Yiwu saw that all the standards and battalions had people send orders. I quickly wrote a letter again. Comrade called Yuezhou. Hurry back and join the uprising. He told the king again. called Wang Xianxian, Peng Chufan, Yang Hongsheng and a few people. Send bullets and bombs everywhere quickly. Because the bullets and bombs of the battalions were controlled by the commanders. Very lacking.

That's all done. Jiang Yiwu went out to various agencies again. Took care of a few things personally. Arrange the details of the uprising.

Liu Fuji saw that his comrades had gone out on errands. It occurred to me that there were still four or five hours before the time of the uprising. Within these four or five hours. Anything can happen. In case the Qing army comes to search. So what to do. The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. Just walked out of the trap. Take a closer look in the neighborhood. Walked around. See citizens getting off work. School dismissal. There weren't any spies or police on the streets. This is a little more relaxed.

At this time, Zhang Tingfu also walked out of the agency. Liu Fuji said to Zhang Tingfu: "The family is fine now." Zhang Tingfu said: "Hmm. Not bad. There was no movement." Two people are talking when they are talking. Next to him, a man in a long shirt walked over. Took a few steps. The man stood still again. Wait and see Zhang Tingfu.

Liu Fuji hurriedly pulled Zhang Tingfu. Turn around and walk to the back. The man followed closely behind.

Liu Fuji said to Zhang Tingfu: "This person must be a secret agent." Zhang Tingfu looked back. Seeing that person really doesn't look like a good person. He pointed to a nearby alley and said, "Let's hurry up and get through this alley." The two of them let go of the big stride. Walk quickly through this alley. Came to the intersection. Called two rickshaws. Let the coachman just let go and stride fast. Ran more than a mile. When I look back again. The man was nowhere to be seen. The two of them were relieved. Got out of the car. Rounded back to the trap.
