Chapter 195 The boss Shebu guides the cannon

Tang Qingying's revolutionary army continued to rush forward amid the fire and gunfire. The death squad rushed to the door of the Governor's Office. It was subjected to heavy fire from the Qing soldiers. There's a cloth shop nearby where you can go in and avoid bullets.

At that time, the owner of the cloth shop was busy moving cloth in the store. Gong Ren hurriedly stopped him and said, "Life matters. Ask the boss to get out of the way." The boss doesn't listen to Gong Ren. Still moving the cloth. Gong Ren hurriedly shouted again: "The guns and bullets are merciless. If you don't hide again. We're going to shoot." The boss had piled the cloth together. He touched a bucket of kerosene from under the table and said, "Please hurry up and get the cloth. So that the cannon can hit the dog hard."

Gong Ren was taken aback when he heard this. He said, "Since you know the righteousness in this way. The loss of your shop. We will compensate you in full." The boss nodded and said, "I'll talk about it later. They are also Han Chinese. I can only do this little thing. Let's do it."

The cloth was sprinkled with kerosene. The fire was blazing. Soon. Flames soared into the sky. Shine the Governor's Office as if it were daylight. Even the flagpole in front of the Governor's Office. It's all clearly illuminated. A burst of shells from the Snake Mountain artillery team. Only the wall inside the superintendent's office collapsed and the house collapsed. Ruins. The ghost cries wolf. Dead and wounded.

At this time the three-way attacking team. All meet outside the Inspectorate. Xiong Bingkun, Cai Jimin, and Ma Rong immediately organized the troops. Attack the Governor's Office again. The Qing soldiers in the Governor's Office couldn't resist. Shaken across the board. Some changed into civilian clothes and fled through the hole in the wall behind the superintendent's office. Some jumped off the side walls. Running around.

Some of the revolutionary troops captured a servant. Sent him to Chu Wangtai. Interrogated by Wu Zhaolin himself.

Wu Zhaolin asked him, "I don't know what happened to this old boy. You have to tell the truth. Don't tell the truth. Immediate decapitation." The official was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Ruizheng, Tie Zhong and some people have already escaped through a hole in the back of the governor's office. ran to the Chu Yu warship in the Yangtze River."

Wu Zhaolin still doesn't believe it. Ask: "Don't talk nonsense. Nonsense. Beheading, too." The officer said, "The little man has a few heads. Don't dare to talk nonsense. What I say is true. I saw them flee with my own eyes." Wu Zhaolin only knew. Levy has escaped from the city. There is no leader in the Governor's Office. I can't help but rejoice in my heart. He took the news of Rui's escape. Inform the teams. On the other hand, he ordered the teams to continue the onslaught of the superintendent's office.

The teams knew that Levy had fled. All rejoiced. Spirits hundredfold. Continue to launch a more fierce attack on the Governor's Office. Xiong Bingkun ordered the troops to retreat slightly. Notify the Snake Hill artillery of heavy shelling. After a burst of artillery bombardment. The walls of the Inspectorate collapsed. Only the Qing army coaching team is still desperately resisting.

The cannon stopped. Death squads and revolutionary troops immediately stormed the Governor's Office. Close to the enemy. A fierce hand-to-hand fight ensued. The daredevils hold kerosene. Burn the enemy's important targets. Fire together. Artillery shelling continues everywhere. The targets were hit one by one. Quite a few daredevils died heroically in the arson.

The enemy coach retreated into the lobby. The Qing army had dozens of machine guns. blocked the path of the offensive of the revolutionary army. Artillery is simply not used . Many of the revolutionary troops fell outside the empty hall. The daredevils are undaunted. Continue to advance in a semi-circular encirclement. They follow one after the other. Keep setting fires in the lobby. The lobby is finally on fire. The Qing army had nowhere to retreat. Burned all over with oil. Either dead or wounded. There are also those who were killed by the revolutionary army one by one.

The highest authority of the Qing Dynasty in Hubei, the Huguang Governor's Office. It was finally conquered by the revolutionary army.

Zhu Mingchao, the captain of the cavalry team guarding the Inspectorate. With 20 cavalry, he rushed out of the Governor's Office. Hurriedly fled to the Zhang Mansion inside the Wenchang Gate. Ask to meet Zhang Biao. But Zhang Biao's guards guarded the gate. Dead or alive will not be allowed to enter. Zhu Ming was in a hurry. Pulled out the pistol. And the leader rushed in.

When Zhang Biao saw these people coming in with guns. I don't know what the intentions of the people came. My heart is worried. I was so scared that I got goosebumps all over my body. Zhu Mingchao gave a slight military salute. Said: "Zhang Tongzhi. The Governor's Office has been occupied by the Revolutionary Army. Please take a break from the system."

Only then did Zhang Biao know that people were not here to kill themselves, but to save themselves. I was slightly relieved. Seeing that the general trend is gone. Don't know what to do. I had to go into the house and discuss with the fourth aunt.

The fourth aunt said: "It's important to escape. Hurry up and take our soft and deposit. Let's take shelter in Hankow first. Aren't you quite familiar with Kikuzaburo, the manager of the Japanese Concession?" Zhang Biao was right when he heard it. Hurriedly asked someone to pack up his things. Prepare to flee to Hankow.

At this time. An Luhua, the supervisor of the 8th Battalion of the Baggage Outside the Pinghu Gate, also came. Ask to meet Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao immediately called him in. He came in and reported: "There is not a single revolutionary party in the baggage camp. Extremely stable. Please go to the baggage camp and take shelter first."

Zhang Biao listened. Very happy. Ordered An Luhua and Zhu Mingchao to escort himself and his family out of the city from Pinghu Gate with a team of horses and all the guards. After leaving the city. Zhang Biao felt that these family members were really not reassuring. First send a ship to send his family to Hankow.

Zhang Biao arrived at the 8th Battalion. Xiao Guoan, the camp manager, immediately came to ask for instructions and said: "Now Rui Zhengtai and Lord Tie Zhong have left. I heard about the Chuyu warship. I don't know where the Chu Yu warship is now. The city has been occupied by the revolutionary army. The revolutionary army is too prosperous. I'm afraid that a battalion of people in the baggage battalion can't stop it. Besides, people are unpredictable. Sooner or later, the soldiers of this battalion will be affected by the revolutionary army. Please make up your mind early."

Zhang Biao didn't dare to call the shots. Branches. Don't know what to do. Xiao Guoan said: "It is better to take the baggage camp to a quiet place in Hankou or Hanyang. Let's think about it in the long run."

Zhang Biao thought about it and didn't have any other good way. So he brought part of the 8th Battalion to the Liujiamiao in Hankou. The other part is temporarily stationed near the Hanyang Arsenal.

The revolutionary army took advantage of the victory to attack. The next target was the Hubei Domain.On October 11th, at dawn, Hu Tingzuo attacked with 41 marks.Cai Jimin sent troops to assist.In addition, the artillery position of Phoenix Mountain was bombarded.The guards led by Lian Jia could not resist.At dawn, he escaped over the wall alone.

The guards saw that the armor had fled. They also robbed some gold and silver ingots and fled. Some of the rebels have long been aware of the feudal bureau's money. I also took the opportunity to get into the domain office. I want to take advantage of the robbery.

At this time, the revolutionary army happened to rush in. Seeing many people running out with gold ingots. Shout out loud. Can't stop it at all. At that time, several people were shot and killed. to stop this riot.

Cai Jimin sent soldiers to guard it closely. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Otherwise, you will be killed. And the soldiers guarding the treasury did not touch a penny in the feudal office. The treasury was full of gold bricks, silver ingots, silver dollars, banknotes, and bills of all kinds. It is the big treasury of Hubei Province. In the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, it was a fluke that it was relatively intact. The preservation of the feudal office laid a rich financial foundation for the revolutionary army.

At this time, the remaining Qing troops in the city were headless birds. And because the phone doesn't work. Isolated inside and out. I had to retreat into the camp. Barely maintained. It's dawn. I saw white flags planted everywhere in Wuchang City. The soldiers on the street wrapped their arms in white cloth one by one. There are revolutionary armies everywhere.

Wu Zhaolin also sent the revolutionary army to the city gates to guard it tightly. No ordinary people are allowed to enter or leave. He also sent people to various administrative offices, schools, and barracks to urge the uprising. Otherwise shelled with artillery fire . The remaining personnel of various organs, schools, and barracks had to wrap their arms in white cloth. Gather in Chuwangtai to revolt.

Morning of October 11th. The whole city of Wuchang was occupied by the revolutionary army. The nine-pointed and eighteen-star flag flutters high on the roof of the Yellow Crane Tower. Hanyang and Hankou, which are separated by a river, were also shaken. The wide Yangtze River. Can't stop the deafening huge shock wave from Wuchang.
