It turned out that just a month before Wang Yongan led the fleet back to China, the revolutionary pioneer Huang Xing was ordered by Sun Yat-sen to go to Wuhan to prepare to lead the Wuhan rebel army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As mentioned earlier, Huang Xing is a member of the Alliance, and this time it was the Gongjin Association that led the Wuchang Uprising, and the Gongjin Association was at best a branch of the Alliance, and its reputation was far less than that of the Alliance, and even in Hubei Province, many people only knew the Alliance and did not know the Gongjinhui.

Huang Xing was greeted not only by the officers of the rebel army, but also by Feng Guozhang and other Beiyang troops, and the Beiyang army gave Huang Xing a good lesson with its artillery, what is called "welcome, welcome, warm welcome".

Because of Ma Rulong's poor health, Feng Guozhang became the commander-in-chief of the first and second towns of the Beiyang Army, and Duan Qirui became the chief of the general staff.

At this time, Li Yuanhong ordered, in order to reverse the situation, the Fourth Association of the Rebel Army braved the rain of bullets to launch a counter-charge to the Beiyang Army, but the Beiyang Army had strong firepower, and Xie Yuankai, the commander of the Fourth Association of the Rebel Army, and Cai Demao, the commander of the Fourth Association, were killed by the Beiyang Army one after another.

The rebel army selected a death squad and rushed into Hankou to fight to the death with Feng Guozhang's Beiyang army, the Beiyang army did not intend to enter Hankou at first, they were just consuming the strength of the rebel army, but the rebel army repeatedly killed and injured the Beiyang soldiers, which caused the Beiyang army to be furious, so Feng Guozhang ordered the army to enter Hankou and engage the rebel death squad.

However, the streets of Hankou were narrow and rugged, and the rebel army had the support of many locals, so the soldiers of the Beiyang Army were often stunned after entering, and they were hit with black guns, and even some Wuhan citizens did not pay attention to the theft and killing of the soldiers of the Beiyang Army.

Feng Guozhang was furious and ordered the burning of Hankou.

The revolutionary party immediately made a fuss about this matter, saying that the Beiyang Army was murderous, set fire to Hankow, and displaced the people. Due to the north wind, which led to the fire in Hankow, the Beiyang Army retreated safely, and the revolutionaries took the opportunity to enter Hankow and took the opportunity to grab 18 boxes of silver. (Domestic historians like to use the word "rescue" to rescue 18 boxes of silver from the ashes, and I don't know if the silver turned to ashes after it was burned by fire, maybe in the eyes of historians, the silver is made of paper and can be filled in casually.) Feng Guozhang's burning of Hankou was indeed not very good, but the rebel army also looted not much, and he vigorously whitewashed his so-called political position, which has the flavor of a modern public relations company. ）

The arrival of Huang Xing greatly boosted the morale of the revolutionary party, but at this time it showed the internal contradictions of the revolutionary party, after all, there were few people in the Communist Association, and there were many people in the League, and the League would be embarrassed to snatch the credit of the Communist Association, so that Li Yuanhong, who was recommended by the Communist Association, became the governor of the capital, and now Huang Xing, the boss of the League, came, so the representatives of the League immediately recommended Huang Xing as the commander-in-chief. Although the Communist Association and others did not want Huang Xing to be the commander-in-chief, but the athletes of the Communist Association died in a few months, and the remaining junior characters could not speak at all.

As soon as Huang Xing became commander-in-chief, he immediately announced a new attack on the Beiyang Army, but he was once again severely attacked by the Beiyang Army. Huang Xing was extremely disappointed, and immediately inspected the troops, and the final result was that the Hubei rebel army were all Wuhan natives, and many people returned home at night. He didn't see that there were observation balloons in the sky, the Yangtze River fleet on the river, and the Beiyang Army had 54 standard artillery pieces in a town, and Yuan Shikai brought two more towns this time, with a total of 216 artillery pieces, on the other hand, the revolutionary party only had a dozen artillery pieces, and there was much damage in the battles of these days, and the shells were replenished, and the soldiers of the Hubei New Army desperately defended Wuhan with bayonets, but they thought that the locals were not brave.

At this time, the internal contradictions within the alliance were already extremely deep, and if Yuan Shikai was not still ready to deal with the imperial court, this Wuhan would have been breached in only three days.

In this regard, the League held that the Beiyang Army did not dare to advance because of Huang Xing's prestige, so Huang Xing had made great contributions, and Huang Xing should be elected as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Revolutionaries and command all the revolutionary armies in the South, and the Hubei New Army must obey Huang Xing's command.

Song Jiaoren, Jiang Yiwu, Tian Tong, Yang Wangpeng, and others of the League believed that if Huang Xing was recommended as commander-in-chief of the southern revolutionaries, they could concentrate all the forces of the southern provinces to defeat the Beiyang Army and overthrow the Manchu Qing in one fell swoop.

However, the local Communist Advancement Association or the Literary Society Sun Wu, Liu Gong, Cai Jimin, Wu Zhaolin and others opposed it, they believed that Huang Xing represented the revolutionary leader, and if he openly served as the commander-in-chief of the southern revolutionaries and was above Li Yuanhong, it would inevitably make people think that Huang Xing would only seize power and not do things, and that the revolutionary party was just a group of villains vying for power and profit, and precisely because Li Yuanhong was not a revolutionary party, Li Yuanhong should be counted as a banner to attract anti-Qing personnel from non-revolutionary parties to participate in the revolution one after another. With Huang Xing's prestige, running for president in the future is the right way, and it is really not easy to snatch the command of the army from Li Yuanhong at this time, so that others can stir up discord within the rebel army.

Yang Wangpeng was furious and was about to scold, but fortunately, Song Jiaoren was smart and turned around from it, and proposed that it would be better to let Huang Xing serve as the commander-in-chief of the soldiers and manage the troops from various provinces that came to Hubei to support (the main force was Huang Xing's hometown Hubei Hunan Army reinforcements), and Li Yuanhong served as the Hubei overseer and commanded the Hubei troops (Hubei Army).

Huang Xing and other allies will think that the Hubei army is not good at fighting, and the failure of Wuhan for a long time is because of the Hubei people, so they very much agree with this opinion, and Sun Wu, Wu Zhaolin and others also know that Huang Xing's reputation is too great, if not in accordance with Song Jiaoren's method, there is really no way to place this great god, so the two sides reached an agreement, Huang Xing took the stage to pay respects, and even erected a seven-meter-high banner, with three big characters of "Commander Huang" written on it, and inserted it on the highest building in Hanyang Town, so it was not majestic.

At that time, the Beiyang Army retreated three miles according to Yuan Shikai's instructions, and all the revolutionary parties clamored, thinking that Huang Xing relied on his fame to scare away the "million" Qing army, and suddenly his morale was high, and he threatened to kill Yuan Shikai, kill him in Jingshi City, and capture the little emperor Puyi alive!

At this time, Yuan Shikai had already gained power, and the regent Zaifeng said that he was ill, and the courtiers recommended Yuan Shikai to form a cabinet, so Yuan Shikai was ready to implement a constitutional monarchy. Although he was ambitious, he really had no intention of killing the Manchu Emperor himself as emperor at this time.

Yuan Shikai sent people to make secret contact with Li Yuanhong, hoping that both sides would strike the army, but this matter was learned by Huang Xing, and Huang Xing immediately announced: Never negotiate peace with the Tartars! If anyone talks about peace in vain, he will be punished as a traitor, and everyone will be killed.

Come on, the Hubei Revolutionary Party was embarrassed, it couldn't beat the Beiyang Army, and then let Huang Xing mix it up like this, just wait for defeat, and the dissatisfaction of the people in Hubei with Huang Xing intensified.

On the contrary, the revolutionary youths from all provinces who came to Wuhan were enthusiastic, and they were encouraged by Huang Xing, and angrily launched another attack on the Beiyang Army, and then ...... Well, there was no then, because the hot-blooded young men who attacked all bled to death in front of the positions of the Beiyang Army.
