The 218th Li Yuanhong fled to Wuchang City
At this time, Wuchang City became a state of no one to command the army. The junta had no choice but to temporarily appoint Jiang Yiwu as the superintendent of the army and the commander-in-chief of the nursery. The headquarters at this time. Chief of Staff Yang Kaijia resigned. Deputy Chief of Staff Yang Xizhang was killed in Hanyang. Jiang Yiwu had no choice but to order Wu Zhaolin as chief of staff. Yao Jinyong is the deputy chief of staff.
Revolutionaries Cai Jimin, Liu Gong, Zhang Zhenwu, Xiong Bingkun, Deng Yulin, Wu Xinghan, Gong Ren and others closely revolved around Jiang Yiwu. On the evening of 28 November, Jiang Yiwu convened a military meeting at the Wuchang Governor's Palace, which was attended by all relevant military personnel. Sent a small force to defend Huangzhou and Echeng, an important town in the lower reaches of Wuchang. Troops are stationed behind each defensive area. The navy cruises around Yangluo. Cover Wuchang.
After the military meeting. The troops followed orders overnight. Enter your own defensive positions. Fortifications. Perform the task. The city of Wuchang was already extremely chaotic. But under the command of Liu Gong, Cai Jimin, Zhang Zhenwu. Troop patrols began to be carried out in the city of Wuchang. Deal with the rioters. Calm the people's hearts. Arrest the spies. Order in the city gradually stabilized.
Nov. 29, 8 a.m. The Qing army's Guishan artillery team opened fire on Wuchang City again. Only the wolf smoke in Wuchang City was everywhere. The fire is shining. Houses are collapsing piece by piece. Not for a while. Phoenix Mountain Fort of the People's Army. The Snake Mountain and Yellow Crane Tower artillery teams began to counterattack towards Turtle Mountain. Only the top of the turtle mountain was shrouded in a thick smoke and fire. Soon. Kameyama became a shrunken turtle. There was no more sound.
At that time, some ordinary people were watching the artillery battle. All rejoiced. Warm celebrations. It greatly boosted the morale of the people's army. extinguished the prestige of the dogs.
Jiang Yiwu sent Gong Ren and Tang Qingying to reorganize the death squad. Always pay attention to the "protection" of the Governor's Palace. In case of an unexpected situation.On the evening of the 28th, when Gong Ren and Tang Qingying were inspecting outside the Governor's Mansion, they suddenly heard a noisy voice in the Governor's Mansion, and the sound of some carriages and horses.
Gong Ren stepped forward and asked Li Yuanhong: "Governor Li. Where is this going?" Li Yuanhong waved his hand at Gong Ren and said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs." Gong Ren said, "Is the governor of Li Du going to run away?" Li Yuanhong no longer pays attention to Gong Ren. Just instructed his cronies to hurry to load things into the carriage.
Gong Ren knew that he had guessed well. He also said: "Didn't Governor Li Du promise to live and die with Wuchang. How can you be so untrustworthy?" Li Yuanhong stopped talking. Just panicked and bent on running for your life.
Gong Ren knew that he couldn't persuade Li Yuanhong. Hurriedly sent someone to send news to Zhang Zhenwu, Deng Yulin and others. The death squads guarded the gate of the Governor's Palace. Don't let them out.
Soon. Zhang Zhenwu came first in a rage. He pulled out his sharp saber from his waist. Pounding on the carriage. Shout to Li Yuanhong: "You want to run away. It's not that easy. We're all dead. I'm going to pull on this quilt of yours too."
Li Yuanhong knew that Zhang Zhenwu was mighty. You can do what you say. Provoked him. How dare he take a saber and chop people. And he stopped talking.
Soon. DENG Yulin. Cai Jimin and others have arrived. Deng Yulin said hatefully: "As the governor of the military government. Absent without leave. Ignore Wuchang City. Do you know what a sin it is?" Cai Jimin said neither softly nor hard: "If it were someone else. It's long overdue."
Under the reprimand of the multitude. Li Yuanhong simply drooped his head. It's the same as a student being criticized by a teacher. Not a word. Everyone is leaving. Zhang Zhenwu slapped the saber in his waist with his palm and said to Gong Ren: "Be optimistic about the governor of Lidu. If you run away. Just take you and ask."
Gong Ren nodded. Know these words of Zhang Zhenwu. It's for Li Yuanhong. Deter Li Yuanhong from running away.
Evening of November 30th. The Governor's Mansion suddenly caught fire from a bullet. The fire is burning more and more. Soon. More than 10 rooms were burned down together. The flames reflected the sky above the Governor's Palace. Li Yuanhong not only did not organize firefighting. Instead, he was in the carriage again. Prepare to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
Tang Qingying said to Gong Ren: "Such a useless governor. What use is it kept. It's better to run. I don't believe it. You wouldn't be able to make a chicken cake without this rotten egg. He ran away. Can we revolutionaries be re-elected?"
Tang Qingying's angry words reminded Gong Ren. Gong Ren thought about it. said to Tang Qingying: "You're right. With this Li Yuanhong. How much do we have to worry about? If he is gone. This is an opportunity for us. It's just time to grab the rights."
The two had a tacit understanding. Gong Ren orders the death squad's guards to evacuate. Don't worry about Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong took the opportunity to lead those of his cronies. Riding in a carriage. Escaped. After they are gone. Gong Ren and Tang Qingying immediately organized death squads and citizens to fight the fire. Defend the safety of the Governor's Palace.
Soon. Jiang Yiwu and Wu Zhaolin returned from touring the city. I went to the Governor's Mansion to discuss with Li Yuanhong, but I couldn't find it anymore. Jiang Yiwu asked Gongren: "Where is the governor of Lidu?" Gong Ren pretended to be confused and said, "We patronized the firefighting. Where does he go. We don't know."
Jiang Yiwu said angrily: "Not only is Li Yuanhong gone. Some of the agency personnel and the money in the safe are gone. How do you protect the Governor's Palace?" Gong Ren suddenly seemed to wake up. said: "Just now I saw Li Yuanhong and some people going out in a carriage. We thought they were on official business. I didn't expect him and some of his fox friends to run away."
Jiang Yiwu was greatly dissatisfied when he heard this. "They fled. How not to report." Gong Ren said lightly: "It's okay to run. Save yourself from worrying about him. The governor doesn't have to do it. Why do you beg him? Only we revolutionaries have it. Why don't you elect someone to be the governor?"
Jiang Yiwu listened to Gong Ren's words. Shook his head. Said: "The Tao here. I can't tell you clearly for a while. So be it. Grab a letter from me. Catch up with Li Yuanhong. Tell him to hurry back to the Governor's Mansion to preside over the plan." After speaking. A handwritten letter in a hurry. Handed it to Gong Ren.
Gong Ren and Tang Qingying had to ride fast horses. Inquire along the way. Chase Li Yuanhong. When I ran to the Wang's store. I found out that Li Yuanhong's people were stationed here. The two found Li Yuanhong. Gong Ren took out Jiang Yiwu's letter. handed it to Li Yuanhong and said, "Commander Jiang told you to go back. This is the letter we both brought to you."
Li Yuanhong's mood at this time. It's like a little bird that has just escaped from its cage. Particularly relaxed. Glad. It's much better than being scared day and night in Wuchang City. He was very polite when he saw Gong Ren and Tang Qingying. Busy asking people to make tea and pour water for the two of them. He read the letter a little. Said to Gong Ren: "This brother. This little sister. I would say executive military affairs. You two don't believe it. Truth be told. The Qing army may attack Wuchang City tonight. Rather than being a prisoner of the Qing army. Lost a life in vain. It's better to stay in the green mountains. Don't be afraid of no firewood. Ants are still greedy. How much more people? You two said yes, yes?"
Gong Ren thought to himself. Li Yuanhong is really speaking. Treat yourself as cowardly and weak. The greed for life and fear of death are exposed. Don't persuade him to go back at all. He'll never go back. Gong Ren thought of this. I simply came to a three-foot-long ladder to build (answer) and not to the eaves (speech).
The more tenacious the male does not speak. Li Yuanhong's heart is more and more bottomless. He said to Gong Ren with a pleasant face: "This brother. We've known each other for a short time. I see you're straightforward. Fight bravely. There is a strategy. It's a rare talent. Just follow me in the future. Make sure you fly Huang Tengda. There is endless glory and wealth."
Gong Ren thought to himself. Come and buy me again. It's really blind to your dog's eye. But on the surface I was still happy. Unhurriedly, he said, "How can I have such a blessing. I'm just a martial artist. A lifetime of rushing and killing. It's not a big deal."
Li Yuanhong smiled. He patted Gongren's shoulder and said, "Okay. Good. I like an open-minded warrior like you. I've seen it for a long time. You are the person. He is a loyal man. He's a good guy. We're kind of a match." Li Yuanhong's eyes looked at Gong Ren with a smile. Stopped for a while. And he said, "For a while. Do you think anything about me?"
Gong Ren thought. This is Li Yuanhong's real purpose. It turned out that I was asked to reveal some secrets of the revolutionary party. Be a spy. Gong Ren was not willing to let Li Yuanhong go back at all. Just scare him and say, "Some revolutionaries don't think well of you. They said. If you go back. I'll kill you."
Li Yuanhong listened to these words. Shocked. All of a sudden, he became nervous again. Q: "Who are the people who advocate this?" Gong Ren shook his head and said, "I can't tell you this."
Li Yuanhong stopped talking. I am silently thinking about my situation, my future, and the strategy I should take. I thought about it for a while. He suddenly smiled slightly. He patted his shoulder and said, "Okay. Good. Brother. What do you have to say in the future? We're going to have to pull it off."
Gong Ren also hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said, "I am becoming more and more familiar with Li Dudu. Feel it. The Governor of Ritu is really good to us." Gong Ren frightened him again, saying, "Don't go back. If you go back, you might be killed. Those who were soldiers. The six relatives do not recognize. But if you say it, you can do it."
Li Yuanhong nodded.
After Gong Ren and Tang Qingying said goodbye to Li Yuanhong. Rushed back to Wuchang City overnight. Gong Ren reported the situation to Jiang Yiwu and said: "Li Yuanhong is not willing to come back at all. Since he is not coming back. What do we ask him to do? Just pick another one and forget it."
Jiang Yiwu listened to Gong Ren's words. He nodded and said, "At this critical moment. Wuchang City is really not to be left without an owner for a day. Since he doesn't want to come back. There's no other way for us. I had to choose another governor."
Gong Ren listened. I was secretly happy in my heart.
