The patrol battalion that was closing the east gate of Kunming City and keeping vigil suddenly saw a large group of people coming down from the city tower, and they hurriedly picked up lanterns and torches. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Who's down there? What for? ”

"We are from the nineteenth town of the New Army, and we are under the orders of Xiao's command to conduct night exercises." Liu Cunhou deliberately replied in a loud voice, looking a little impatient. He is the second battalion of the 75th standard, and this time he led people into the city first.

"Wait, wait." Although they did not govern each other, the patrol battalions were generally reluctant to offend the Forces nouvelles. Hearing Liu Cunhou's words, he didn't doubt him, and after stretching his waist, the officer guarding the gate walked down the city tower with a lantern and ordered his subordinates to open the city gate.

Just this lantern light, the team officer saw the flower on Liu Cunhou's shoulder, yo, the feeling is a pipe belt? Busy with a smile to the side.

The officers and men of the second battalion entered the city gate hole neatly and quickly, and after entering the city, they separated, one team rushed to the city wall, and the other team rushed to the camp of the patrol battalion.

The officers guarding the gates soon noticed that something was wrong! This person is coming too much, right? Even the heavy guys have been brought? Why, did you get to the city wall? Wrong! Wrong!

"You ......," said the officer, who had a revolver on his waist, as he pulled out his gun. It's a pity that his hand is clamped by an iron tong, and he has a cold pistol on his head! Liu Cunhou's movements were faster than him.

"Don't scream, hold your head in your hands, and stay honest!" Liu Cunhou shouted loudly, tightened the gun in his hand, and pulled down the captain's hat.

"Yes, yes, yes." The thrilling feeling of being pointed at a gun in the head is not something that ordinary people can bear. The officer's face turned pale with fright, and he threw away the gun and squatted down with his head in his hands as ordered.

At this time, at the gate of the city, the 75th standard of the new army outside the city had arrived. Because of the preparations, everything went smoothly, and after taking control of the city gates, the soldiers of the seventy-fifth standard went straight to the patrol battalion in the city and the garrison of the governor's office.

Before the Qing troops in the two places understood what was going on, they blocked the new army in the barracks. In less than an hour, the patrol battalion and the superintendent guard were all disarmed by the new army.

The city of Kunming was taken bloodlessly. Qing officials in the city, such as Li Jingxi, the governor of Yungui, Shizeng, the division of the domain, Yang Fuzhang, and Ye Erkai, the secretary of the school, were all captured. Groups of new officers and soldiers were patrolling and guarding the streets, and the common people did not hear much gunfire except for the neat and rapid footsteps of the troops.

Xiao Mubai stood at the door of the headquarters with his waist crossed and looked in the direction of the north, at this moment, only he knew that in Wuchang, thousands of miles away from Kunming, there was also an uprising that shocked the whole country at this moment.

Time flies. The news from all sides is going well. When he saw Li Hongxiang who came in a hurry, Xiao Mubai knew that the overall situation had been decided.

"Commander-in-Chief, everything is ready." The staff officer trotted up to catch up, and handed the newspaper in his hand to Xiao Mubai while reporting.

Xiao Mubai was not at ease after reading it, so he walked into the house and looked at it again. Only then did he knock on the table. Ning said: "Start powering up!" ”

The order was then conveyed. Under the operation of the signal corps, several telegraph planes in the headquarters successively transmitted the "Telegram of the Uprising," the "Declaration of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army," and the "Declaration of the National Revolutionary Military Government" to major newspapers and cities in China.

At the same time, the 73rd Standard of the 37th Association stationed in Dali and the 74th Standard stationed in Lin'an declared an uprising under the leadership of Yan Weidong and Luo Peijin, respectively. The 1st and 2nd Divisions and the 3rd Division of Panzhihua in Quang Nam also quickly formed formations and rushed to their respective predetermined targets.

As the minutes and seconds passed, the telegrams of the various units continued to shoot at Wuhua Mountain, and the codes became reports in the sound of "Didi" and "rustling" pencils. Xiao Mubai listened to the staff officers read these reports, marking and comparing the completion of the plans of each unit on the huge map on the wall behind him.

On the same night, the city of Beijing was extraordinarily calm. In Beijing in October, the weather is not cold, but the house seems to be full of cold. The regent Zaifeng, who was awakened by the uprising's electricity, and a group of cabinet members, princes and nobles urgently discussed countermeasures. Needless to say, the blow and shock brought to them by the news of Xiao Mubai's uprising was huge.

“... The Yunnan New Army has proposed to establish the revolutionary banner of the independence of the Chinese nation, and take national independence, national prosperity and strength, and the rise of China as its own responsibility...... The Chinese National Revolutionary Military Government was established, supporting Xiao Mubai as commander-in-chief and premier of the military government, and calling on the whole army and the whole people to overthrow the Manchu reactionary government and propose political reform...... Special electrification of the whole country to show the world. The little eunuch on the side read the telegram in a trembling voice.

"Xiao Mubai, this traitor who eats inside and out." Hearing the content of the electricity, Zai Ze said viciously, his face was extremely angry.

"The thief is really hateful, and it is in vain that the regent trusts him so much." Zaitao also shouted beside him.

As for Zaifeng, he still hasn't recovered from this shocking news.

The princes and ministers are even more panicked, looking at the Qing Dynasty, there is really no one who can take charge!

Before they could discuss what the outcome was, another piece of news came at dawn. The revolutionary party rose up in Wuchang and had already occupied the city of Wuchang.

Zaifeng, who had been suffering all night, was even more shocked when he heard the news, and overnight, the Qing Dynasty began to become stormy.

The morning of October 11, 1911.

Major newspapers across the country have published news that shocked the whole country and excited the people!

"The Yunnan New Army, under the leadership of Xiao Mubai, the commander of the Nineteenth Town, launched an armed uprising and established a revolutionary military government."

"The Hubei New Army, under the leadership of the revolutionary party, launched an armed uprising to occupy Wuchang."

The terms Kunming and Xiao Mubai appeared on the headlines of newspapers all over the country in an instant, and even many newspapers rushed to issue multiple editions to compete to report everything about Kunming and Xiao Mubai. In this era of the vicissitudes of the sea, Xiao Mubai's name appears more and more in people's eyes.

"Extra! Extra! Kunming launched an uprising last night, and Xiao Mubai was appointed commander-in-chief! ”

"The Kunming New Army is in turmoil, and the bandits are headed by Xiao Mubai to build a puppet government!"

"The British consul said that he paid close attention to the turmoil in Wuchang and Kunming, and said that Britain would strictly abide by neutrality and not take sides!"

"The French consul said it would ......"

After receiving the telegram from Kunming, the revolutionary party in Hubei immediately sent out its own telegram, and they did not care who Xiao Mubai was, they immediately expressed their support for Xiao Mubai's behavior, and they had a great sense of echoing Kunming from afar.

Behind the telegram, people from all sides are indeed looking for all traces of Kunming and Xiao Mubai.

No matter how complicated the public opinion of the outside world is, Xiao Mubai at this time is busy signing various orders. After successfully occupying Kunming, because it was taken bloodlessly, Kunming was not affected by the war, so the residents of the city were frightened all night, and the streets quickly returned to prosperity the next day.

After seeing off Mo Chunlin, who had just arrived overnight from Guangnan with two patrol battalions, Xiao Mubai was about to meet another person, that is, Wang Zhengya, the governor of the Yunnan Provincial People's Government who was about to be established. At this moment, Mo Chunlin can be said to be proud, he was appointed as the commander of the Kunming garrison, and under Xiao Mubai's order, he will be expanded into a garrison division on the basis of the previous two patrol battalions.

Historically, after Wang Zhengya's mother died of illness, she went home in Guizhou according to the envoy Ding Wei, returned to his hometown Cili Xikou, bought land, built pavilions and gardens, and faintly had the meaning of retreating and resting. It was not until after the Wuchang Uprising that he re-emerged from the mountain at the invitation of Yu Chengge, the governor of Hunan. In this time and space, as early as more than two months ago, Xiao Mubai had sent someone to Wang Zhengya's hometown in Cili County, Hunan Province to invite him.

In fact, Wang Zhengya arrived in Kunming a few days ago, but because he was busy preparing for the uprising in the past few days, Xiao Mubai never bothered to go to visit.

Wang Zhengya, as early as the Hekou Uprising, Xiao Mubai had contact several times, there is no doubt that this person's governing ability and official reputation are good, because of the reason why he is an official in Yunnan, Xiao Mubai understands all this very well, and is very appreciated by him. For this kind of person with good ability and conduct, Xiao Mubai is determined to win.
