The one hundred and ninety-ninth episode Li Yuanhong killed the rescuer
The junta has just been formed. There are many things. There's almost nothing to do. The revolutionaries then decided to split up. The first is to send some people to welcome the comrades who were originally arrested and imprisoned out of prison; The second is to organize the Quartermaster Department by Xiang Mo. Count the silver in the feudal inventory. took over the cash sent by Hu Ruilin on the afternoon of the 11th; The third is to temporarily appoint the heads of various ministries. Keep the work going.
The military government temporarily decided that the General Staff would be presided over by Yang Kaijia. The Ministry of Communications is chaired by Lee Chok Tong. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is chaired by Yang Tingyuan. Although Li Yuanhong was made governor by the revolutionaries. In fact, none of the revolutionaries listened to him. and afraid that he would run away. So let Fang Dingguo be the commander of the guard. Specially guarded Li Yuanhong.
Afternoon of October 11th. The revolutionaries met again in the Consultative Council. The participants were in addition to the comrades who attended the meeting on the morning of the 11th. Zhang Tingfu, Mou Hongxun and others, who just came out of prison, also participated. At the meeting, Cai Jimin proposed. Since Li Yuanhong doesn't know much about some things. A strategy office should be established. as a decision-making body of the junta. Everyone agrees. This is actually putting Li Yuanhong in the air. Power was firmly in the hands of the revolutionaries. So Cai Jimin, Wu Xinghan, Deng Yulin, Zhang Tingfu, Hu Ying, Wu Zhaolin and other 16 people were formed into a strategy department. Basically all of them were revolutionaries who revolted.
At the meeting, the revolutionaries also focused on several issues that needed to be solved urgently. Preliminary decision: One is the name: where the uprising succeeded. Immediately establish the military government of the Republic of China and the provincial governorate. The second is the location of the Governor's Office: it was decided to establish the Military Government of the Republic of China and the Hubei Military Governor's Office in the Wuchang Consultative Bureau. Overnight publication engraved letters. The third is the era name: the 3-year year name of the Qing Xuantong is abolished. This year adopts the Yellow Emperor chronology. i.e. 4609 years. The fourth is the flag: the flag of the Communist Party is adopted. i.e. the nine-pointed eighteen-star flag. Red ground and black star. The interstellar concatenation is dotted with a dotted line. It means uniting 18 provinces. Revolution with ironism.
When the meeting is adjourned. It's already past 10 p.m. After several days of continuous hard fighting and meetings. The revolutionaries were very tired. Some yawned. Some are staggering. Threes and threes walked out of the advisory board.
Just when these people had just walked out of the door of the Consultative Bureau. Suddenly. A hail of bullets flew from the head-on. The gunfire was deafening. Several revolutionaries fell to the ground in response. The rest immediately retreated to the council.
The sound of gunfire woke up the revolutionaries. Some pulled out their guns and shot at the opposite side. Look for weapons without guns to participate in the battle. Tang Qingying, who had been silently following Gong Ren's side, suddenly came to her senses. The sharp eyes swept slightly towards the opposite side. Immediately, I noticed dozens of dark figures in civilian clothes on the opposite side. Rushing over to the Advisory Council. Tang Qingying pulled out a pistol from her waist. Blocked at the entrance of the Consultative Council. Shoot continuously in the opposite direction. It's almost a no-brainer. Guns and guns are bloody.
The students of the Surveying and Mapping School who guarded the Advisory Council arrived. Students from Army No. 3 also rushed to join the fight. These fourteen-fifteen or fifteen children are heroic. Soon. This small group of enemies is dead to death. Wounded wounds. Escape.
Tang Qingying jumped over in a few steps. Grabbed a wounded enemy. Caught like a chicken in the Advisory Board. Throw it on the ground.
Gong Ren asked him, "Who are you?" Half of the boy's face was bleeding. Slowly stood up. A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water: "Hmph. We are the Qing army death squad. Kill if you want to. If you want to cut it, cut it. Don't be wordy." Gong Ren asked him again, "What are you doing here?" The boy tilted his head and didn't answer.
Tang Qingying clicked on his acupuncture point. Immediately he howled like a pig. Called for a while. Tang Qingying clicked his acupuncture points again. The acupuncture points are unlocked. He collapsed to the ground.
Gong Ren asked him again, "What are you doing here?" The boy said, "We're here to save Commander Lai."
Zhang Zhenwu immediately shouted loudly: "Li Yuanhong, this kid is collaborating with the enemy. What is the use of us keeping Li Yuanhong. Just shoot him."
As he spoke. Li Yuanhong is under the protection of several guards. Trembling in fear, he walked down from the upper floor. Gong Ren said to the Qing army, "The person you want to save is here." The boy sat up immediately. Stretch out two hands. Howling like a wolf: "Commander Li. They all blame us for our incompetence. It won't save you from the rebels."
Li Yuanhong listened. His body trembled. The beard is curled. Immediately draw your pistol. Towards the Qing army, "Horn. Horn." It's two shots.
The boy's eyes widened. Fall on your back. The leg was stretched twice. With a look that he couldn't understand until he died, he returned to the west in an instant.
Due to the suddenness of the incident. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Li Yuanhong looked at the dead body. Stomping his feet and scolding, "Abominable Qing soldiers. and to harm me."
Tang Qingying really couldn't stand it. pointed a pistol at Li Yuanhong and said, "This kid is here to save you. Already hitched a half-life. It's hard to see you. But you will take away half his life. How can you get your hands on it. Are you still human?"
Zhang Zhenwu also pointed a pistol at Li Yuanhong and said, "I think he is a hero. You're a bear. What's the use of keeping you unconscionable scoundrel."
Cai Jimin was very angry when he saw his comrades. Fear of accidents. Hurry up. Blocking in front of Li Yuanhong, he said: "Comrades, don't be reckless. Do not be reckless. He's our governor." Tang Qingying said: "What kind of dog is the governor. I don't recognize this governor."
Li Yuanhong was still in shock at this time. Covered in chaff like a sifting bran. He muttered vigorously, "I don't want to be a governor either. It's useless to be a governor. Let me go home."
Cai Jimin saw Li Yuanhong here. It was pitifully besieged by a few revolutionaries. He waved his hand. Called a few revolutionary armies. Get Li Yuanhong home and hide for a while. But take strict precautions. Don't let him run.
After they are gone. Cai Jimin said to everyone: "Don't be angry. The governor was nominally his. But let's do the thing. We're just using his name."
Let Li Yuanhong go home. On the morning of the 12th, Li Yuanhong was forcibly escorted back to the military government. Tang Qingying said to Cai Jimin: "What are you going to do when you let him come back? Let him be at home. Maybe some of the unjust souls will come to him for his life." Zhang Zhenwu also said: "I still have a bullet in my gun. Just wait to leave it to him."
Cai Jimin thought about it. This Li Yuanhong is indeed a "chicken wedge". Let him be revolutionary. He is passively confrontational. Don't let him revolutionize. Now he has to use his reputation to fool some unsuspecting people. I thought about it for a while. Say: "Today. Let's call him revolutionary." Tang Qingying was happy when she heard it. He said, "How to reform the law. You said. with a knife or with a gun." Cai Jimin smiled bitterly at Tang Qingying. Shook his head.
At this time. Wang Anlan came to whisper to Cai Jimin: "Since the governor of Li Du came to the Advisory Bureau. I haven't eaten in two days. And don't talk to anyone else. It's like a big girl all day long. If he starves to death. What are we going to do?"
Zhang Zhenwu shouted loudly again: "Li Yuanhong is so opposed to the revolution. Sorrow all day long. It can be seen that he is willing to be loyal to the Qing court." Gong Ren said: "I think Li Yuanhong is pretending. He thought that the revolution would not succeed. Once it fails. He begged the Qing government for forgiveness. Or do it again. If the revolution succeeds. He enjoys the name of the Father. Pretending to be sad on the surface. In fact, the heart is calculating. Otherwise. Since he was loyal to the Manchus, why didn't he die on the night of the 10th?"
Zhang Zhenwu listened to Gongren's words. Think it's right. yelled: "Li Yuanhong's attitude. It is very hateful. It's really unpleasant. In my humble opinion. It's better to break things up with a gun."
Tang Qingying also agreed. Say, "Okay. Collapsed and saved everyone the trouble. Let's go." Two men with guns are about to break upstairs. Panicked, Wang Anlan hurriedly stopped. looked at Cai Jimin with his eyes as if he was calling for help.
Cai Jimin and some comrades advised the two not to be so intense. lest outsiders have an excuse to oppose the revolution. Zhang Zhenwu said loudly: "I just won't collapse him. I want to make him feel complacent." Cai Jimin said: "That's a good thing. You can't persuade you. I'll do it my way."
Everyone flocked to Li Yuanhong's room in a rage. Seeing Li Yuanhong's face sad. Sit blankly.
ZHANG Zhenwu is strong. He said angrily: "Mr. Li Yuanhong. We Han comrades. Bleeding a lot. With countless heads. in exchange for today's results. Therefore exalt you as governor. for days. You're so sorry for us. Sad all day long. Not feeling at ease doing things. I say to you. It can't be done. You can be a Napoleon. If it happens. You can be a Washington. You're very cheap. Don't make up your mind anymore. We'll talk to you with a pistol." Talking. Put the pistol on fire. Suddenly fell on Li Yuanhong's table.
Li Yuanhong was taken aback. Stabilized the mood a bit. Said to Zhang Zhenwu: "You young man. Don't talk so violently. I've been here for two days now. I didn't do anything to be sorry for you."
Cai Jimin said: "Although the governor of Li Du did not do anything to be sorry for us. But I didn't do anything useful. Let's start with your braids. Your braids are gone. How can you say that you are worthy of us. Since you are the governor. It's time to be a role model. Leave the braids first. I've heard you've been in the Council since you arrived. Tea and rice do not eat. I don't know if you're worried about the revolution. I'm still worried about the Qing government. I have a word for you today. If you are loyal to the Manchus; It should be done early. If you are loyal to the revolution. You are the Founding Father. One or the other must be chosen. Why is it so pretentious. We really don't understand. There is one more word for you. You are nothing but an assistant in the Manchus. Now you have made yourself a governor in the military government. According to your intellect. China's greatness. There are so many Han Chinese. There are those who can be governors. It's not that you can't do it without it. I hope you think twice. Otherwise. I'm afraid the comrades won't tolerate you."
Li Yuanhong listened to these words. Silent. After a while, he said, "Since you say so. I'm determined to help you out. You say you're going to braid. I've long been in favor of it. I also gave notice in the camp at the previous stage. Those who are willing to cut their hair are at their own mercy. You can get a barber tomorrow to shave off my braids."
Tang Qingying touched the shiny scimitar from her waist. yelled: "No tomorrow. I'll pull it for you." Talking. His left hand touched Li Yuanhong's big braid. Rub your right hand with a knife. I can only hear the sound of "brushing". Li Yuanhong's big braid has long been cut off.
It only scared Li Yuanhong and gasped. I haven't reacted for a long time.
Gong Ren smiled. said: "When you see Ruizheng and Zhang Biao again. It's up to you to explain it. Light braids cut this thing. It means that you have revolutionized. I can't go back on it." Li Yuanhong subconsciously covered his head and said, "Oops. Ah. That's it. That's it. I have to be revolutionary." Cai Jimin stroked Li Yuanhong's head and said, "The head of the governor. Like an Arhat." Li Yuanhong said: "It's a bit like Maitreya Buddha."
As soon as I heard that Li Yuanhong cut his braids. The crowd applauded. Some revolutionary parties even set off firecrackers. Congratulations.
Soon. One of the revolutionaries brought a stack of written proclamations. Let Li Yuanhong sign. Li Yuanhong wants to read it carefully. Cai Jimin urged him to say: "It's not early. Don't look at it." Tang Qingying said: "It doesn't matter if you don't see it. You have to sign if you agree. If you don't agree, you have to sign it. Just stop rambling."
Li Yuanhong nodded helplessly. I had to pick up the brush. On the side, some revolutionaries had already studied ink for him. He just wrote his name vigorously. There are some revolutionaries waiting next to it. Wait until he's done signing. Hurry up and take the notice and put it around.
It was just over 1 p.m. Gong Ren and Tang Qingying took out a few notices. Walk out into the street. Wherever there are many people, post them. Stick the notice on the wall. It was packed with spectators immediately. Compete with each other to see. Some illiterate people are in a hurry. Ask the literate to read to them. Some people feel refreshed. Hold one's head high. Others shed tears of excitement. The notice reads:
"The military government of the Republic of China, the military governor of Hubei Province, Li proclamation

After people read the posting. It's talking again. Some said: "I can't imagine that Li Yuanhong is also a revolutionary party. If only Li Yuanhong were a revolutionary party. Then no one is not a revolutionary party." Some said: "It seems that the Qing Dynasty is over. The days are up." Some said, "Then let's join the revolutionary party as soon as possible."
