Chapter 17: Reflections

Due to the early exposure of the new army, the Wuchang Uprising, which had to be advanced in advance, suddenly broke out when all parties were not fully prepared, and burst out with powerful energy, destroying the entire ruling system of the Qing court in Wuhan in one fell swoop!

Speaking of which, this is an exciting victory, which has an irreplaceable impact on the upcoming era of the Great Revolution in the country, but in this sudden uprising, and because of its suddenness, Huang Xing and others were unable to obtain timely news, let alone effectively guide the Wuchang Uprising, which laid a great hidden danger.

In fact, it is a bit reluctant to say that this uprising has no leader, after all, in the early days, because Wu Zhaolin took the lead in firing the first shot of the Wuchang Uprising and occupied the arsenal, the rest of the rebel armies converged on him intentionally or unintentionally, making Wu Zhaolin the temporary leader at that time.

However, after all, Wu Zhaolin's prestige was somewhat lacking, and he lacked the ability to adapt, especially when he was thwarted in the first wave of attacks on Zhang Biao's headquarters, and Wu Zhaolin lacked the decisiveness he should have, which made the commanders of the new military camps unwilling to obey his control and orders, so the first leadership core of the Wuchang uprising was dispersed.

As for the commanders of the other battalions, none of them were able to preside over the overall situation, either lacking decisiveness and self-confidence, or lacking in prestige and strength, and in the end, there was no one who was really in charge of the various battalions of the uprising, and contradictions and disagreements began to arise within themselves.

But after all, these people knew that this time they would either succeed or fail and die, and at this critical moment, in the end, in order to prevent the revolution from failing and stabilize the morale of the army, the new army in each military camp could only reluctantly form an offensive and defensive alliance, and at the same time elected Li Yuanhong, the commander of the provisional army of the 21st Army at that time, as the governor of the Hubei Military Government, but at that time, the governor refused to accept it because he was afraid that he would be liquidated after the failure of the uprising.

The rebels did not have time to find another suitable candidate, so they could only drag him from under the table and force him to take office, and it was not until the three towns of Wuhan were recovered, Li Yuanhong saw the fruits of victory, and foreign powers expressed neutrality in the uprising, that he began to officially announce his inauguration.

In this way, an old-fashioned feudal officer turned around and became the leader of the first righteous place in the country, and I have to say what a powerful irony this is.

After Li Yuanhong came to power, he vigorously danced his political skills, bleached himself, and became a recognized local revolutionary pioneer.

However, Li Yuanhong did not really have a heart for revolution in his heart, and from then on he began to take advantage of the convenience in his hands to collude with the old party and the feudal forces, and arranged for a large number of old party figures and reactionary classes to mix in with the revolutionaries.

In this way, the revolution began to become impure internally, which also laid a hidden danger for the future......

Germany, Army Military Academy in Berlin.

"Han, hurry up, I have something urgent here, hurry up!" At the end of Han Zheng's classroom training, Guderian ran to the edge of the playground and shouted loudly at Han Zheng.

"You go back first, I'll go see what's going on with Guderian in such a hurry."

After Han Zheng heard Guderian's shouting from afar, he waved his hand at the other party, indicating that he knew, and then said to Wang Xian and the others in advance.

Looking at Han Zheng who was gradually moving away, Wang Xian and the others behind him glanced at each other, their brows furrowed slightly, they glanced at Guderian over there, and their hearts moved slightly for the other party's urgent appearance at this time, and everyone seemed to feel that something big was about to happen.

"Say, is there something urgent?" Li Feng of the artillery section saw the movement here, ran from afar, and asked a few people.

Wang Xian shook his head and glanced at Han Zheng's side, although he couldn't think of anything at this time, but he always felt a little irritable today, so he had to stabilize his emotions, and then said: "When Han Zheng comes back, don't you just ask yourself?" ”

It's no wonder that everyone is suspicious here, it's really that Guderian is too abnormal today, since they have known each other for so long, in the past, they have never seen Guderian, who has always paid attention to etiquette and appearance, shouting like today, so everyone is inevitably a little surprised and guessed.

Everyone chatted for a while, but they didn't have a clue, so they simply dispersed and went back to rest......

But saying this, Han Zheng came to Guderian's side and asked directly: "What happened, it's not easy to make you so anxious?" ”

Guderian's face was a little bad, and when he heard Han Zheng's question, he didn't answer, but just reached out and grabbed Han Zheng's arm, and then walked outside the school field.

Only then did Guderian let go when he left the edge of the school field, and then took out a rolled-up newspaper from his arms, handed it to Han Zheng, whose face was surprised, and said at the same time: "Didn't you ask me to help you inquire about the current news of your country?" I just got a very important piece of news, so please take a look at ......."

When Han Zheng heard this, his heart suddenly sudden, could it really have happened? Han Zhengqiang held back the excitement in his heart, calmed his mood for a while, and then silently reached out to take the newspaper, read it carefully, and at the same time his face began to change constantly, obviously the content of the newspaper gave him a lot of shock.

At this time, Guderian was not idle, and commented on the side: "Now it is estimated that your country is at war, and this time it is really chaotic." Although I don't know the specific situation, I can guess it by looking at the news. After I heard this from my father to-day about what uprising had begun to break out in your country, and that the nations were now silent, I hastened to inform you, that you would make some plans sooner rather than later, or else you might as well stay here, you are so good, even if we have many troops to take in, and I can help you somewhat. ”

As soon as Guderian finished speaking, Han Zheng had already hurriedly read the contents of the newspaper, and held back the restlessness in his heart, his mind was complicated, at this time his mind was blank, although he had been preparing for this day for a long time, but when this day really came, he found that his heart was a little empty, he knew that from now on, his two-year study career was coming to an end......

Guderian didn't react to the other party after he finished speaking, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he was very annoyed, thinking that what he just said must have made the other party a little unhappy, so he hurriedly added: "You know, I don't mean anything else by this, I just want to help you." ”

Han Zheng came back to his senses when he heard his words, and hugged his fist gratefully to Guderian next to him and said, "Thank you so much this time, but your kindness can only be appreciated." We have known each other for nearly two years, and have been friends for two years, you should know some of my character, I know that you mean well, I thank you here, but my country and compatriots are struggling in suffering, and they are also facing the biggest changes. I think all patriotic and bloody Chinese will definitely stand up! Assume their responsibilities and obligations. If you were me, would you hide when you encounter such a thing? I've made up my mind, I hope you won't persuade me again......"

When Guderian heard Han Zheng say this, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but when he thought of the environment Han Zheng was in and the other party's character, he was a little relieved.

"If Han Zheng is really a person from Gou'an, in order to protect himself, regardless of his home country, he will not admire him, and he will even look down on the other party." Guderian thought to himself.

They chatted for a while, and Guderian saw that since Han Zheng heard the news, the whole person seemed to be a little distracted, and he had been distracted many times, obviously he couldn't talk deeply at this time.

Guderian thought that the other party must have heard the news, he felt a little sudden and panicked in his heart, he wanted to open his mouth to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know where to start, he understood the other party's mood, at this time he could only sigh helplessly, said hello to Han Zheng, and left first, wanting to give this friend some space to be alone, so that this friend could be quiet.

Han Zheng was indeed thinking about the turbulent changes in the domestic situation at this time, and he was looking forward to it and was a little afraid to wait for the moment for so long, and finally waited for this day to suddenly come to him, Han Zheng's heart was gloomy and at the same time a little faintly excited, this kind of complex emotion, so that Han Zheng himself didn't know how to express it.

China's troubled times are coming, the old world will be gone forever, the curtain of domestic warlord melee is about to open, and a new era is coming, and at that time, how could China be less of itself? !

Thinking of this, Han Zheng took a big breath, and then took a deep look at the sky of Berlin, what should come will come after all, since he can't stop it, then he has to find a way to change.

After figuring it out, Han Zheng then strode back.

"This matter always has to be told to Wang Xian and others......" Han Zheng thought at this time.

When Han Zheng returned to the dormitory, only Wang Xian was still in the dormitory, and after the others waited here to see Han Zheng for a while, they saw that he had not come back, so they went back together.

After Han Zheng arrived at the dormitory, he glanced at Wang Xian a little silently and opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start with this matter.

After Wang Xian saw Han Zheng coming in, his expression seemed to be a little wrong, so he remembered something, stood up and couldn't help but ask Han Zheng, "Brother Shaowu, is something wrong?" Just now Guderian came to you, and after meeting him, you are now thinking deeply about it......"

Hearing Wang Xian's question, Han Zheng nodded to him silently, after all, he didn't wait for Wang Xian to continue asking, and his voice began to say slowly and in a low voice: "Brother Wang, we've been here for two years, right?" ”

Wang Xian didn't know why Han Zheng wanted to ask like this, but he still replied with emotion: "Yes, it's been two years, and the time is really fast, and I really want to go back to China now." ”

A touch of memory appeared on Han Zheng's face, as if he saw the situation when he and the others first came, but he quickly reacted from the memories and continued: "Yes, it's been two years, it's time to go back、、、 Brother Wang, I'm going to tell you a big deal now!" ”

Looking at Han Zheng's serious face, Wang Xian suddenly thought of Guderian's abnormality in the afternoon, his heart moved, and then he unconsciously looked solemn: "Brother Han, please speak, I'll listen." ”

"The country is already in chaos, the Qing court is dying, and we should return to China." Han Zheng no longer concealed it, and said three sentences briefly, but what he said in these three simple sentences surprised Wang Xian.

"What?!" Sure enough, when Wang Xian heard this, his face turned pale instantly, although he had thought that the Qing Dynasty would perish sooner or later, but this news was too sudden, it had only been two years, and he didn't expect such a big thing to happen if he didn't return to China for two years: "Brother Han, you won't make fun of me, right?" Wang Xian asked Han Zheng with some uncertainty.

"Am I going to joke about that? It's true. You know, I asked Guderian to inquire about some domestic affairs before, and that's why he just came to me and told me about itβ€”"

Han Zheng slowly told the story of this incident and the Wuchang Uprising, and Han Zheng only inferred that he had inquired about the Wuchang Uprising.

After Han Zheng finished explaining, he saw that Wang Xian's expression was a little complicated, and his mouth remained silent, but at this time, he slowly calmed down, and then paused and continued: "Everyone knows that the Qing Dynasty will die sooner or later, and we cut off our braids a few days after we first arrived in Germany. Do you remember what I said to you that night on the ship? In any case, I plan to return to China, but at this time, I can no longer settle down to study, the domestic revolution is like a storm, and I will always feel more at ease in the country. ”

When Wang Xian heard this, he somehow remembered what happened when they were on the Pacific Ocean, remembered what he promised the other party, and nodded slowly, "What are your plans after you return to China?" I'm following you. ”

Han Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but he knew that in the circle of international students, Wang Xian's influence was not lower than his own, and at this time, the other party expressed his position, which was very helpful to his plan, and Wang Xian was also a very capable person, so he couldn't help but say: "Now I don't know the specific situation in China, we have to go to China to take a look, and I don't know how the former teammates are doing, whether they are still safe." ”

Wang Xian didn't say anything after listening to Han Zheng's words, nodded at him and asked, "Do you want to inform Li Feng and a few of them?" If such a big thing happens in China, I always have to tell them, ask them if they will return to China, anyway, the two-year course here is almost over. ”

Han Zheng was silent for a while, then nodded: "It's okay to tell them, tomorrow is a rest day, tell them after they come out, let them be mentally prepared, we will return to China after we get the graduation certificate at the end of this semester, and such a big thing happens in China, I really can't stay here." ”

Wang Xian: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's think about our plans after returning to China." ”
