Chapter 67 Wuchang Shouyi
Dad's insight is indeed extraordinary, especially for the psychological grasp of people in this era, it seems that it should really be like Dad learns, otherwise how to fight with those characters who have become fine in the future!
"Dad, how do you think the child should deal with it?"
"What else can I do, wait for the opportunity, Yuan Xiangcheng cherishes his reputation and doesn't dare to act, you are not strong, you can only endure it, but Lao Yuan is a hero, you must keep an eye on him when dealing with him, don't let him calculate that you are good, your Taoism is too low!" The old man seemed to be in a good mood, and took the initiative to talk to Qiao Yu about the ability and conduct of those big names in the dynasty, Qiao Yu's historical knowledge in his previous life was more of a point, but in fact, various bureaucrats had compiled a big net, which moved the whole body, listening to his father's hand, Qiao Yu looked more deeply into the officialdom.
Time flies, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed in a blink of an eye, the people of Dongchuan have a comfortable life during this Mid-Autumn Festival, although Xichuan is still fighting all day long, but because of the abolition of a lot of privately set up tax cards, prices have dropped a lot, and the price of selling local products can also be raised, so the people can cut a little meat a little better, and they can see a little meat in the dish, even if it is poor, they can eat a dry meal.
However, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiao Yu's heart is no longer calm, according to the historical process, Wuchang Shouyi is in these few days, China's new era is coming, whether it is Jackie Chan or adult is in the present dynasty, just in Qiao Yu's anxious waiting, Wuchang City is also extremely nervous, the revolutionaries originally planned to officially launch an uprising on the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, on October 6 of the Gregorian calendar, where did they know that their frequent activities alarmed the Manchus, and they were prepared in advance.
The siege of martial law and the seizure of bullets from the hands of the new army forced the uprising to be postponed, but three days later, Sun Wu, one of the leaders of the revolutionary party, drank high when he was making a bomb in the concession, and detonated the bomb by mistake, which immediately attracted the Russian patrol, forcing the revolutionary party to decide to revolt on the night of the 9th, but it was postponed again because the four gates were closed and could not be contacted.
In fact, Wuchang Shouyi has a lot of luck elements, the Qing court is also too incompetent, has destroyed the leading organs of the uprising, the main leaders have died and fled, it stands to reason that this revolution will be like the previous revolutions, the final failure, but the turning point of the matter appeared on the night of the 10th, the new army engineering eighth battalion soldiers Jin Zhaolong, Xiong Bingkun and others fired the first shot of the uprising, and then the new army occupied the Chuwangtai armory, obtained a large number of guns, dozens of cannons, and countless bullets and shells.
With sufficient arms support, the soldiers of the New Army, who had long been committed to revolution, quickly rushed to various important places in the city of Wuchang, and after a night of fierce fighting, recovered the whole of Wuchang, and then occupied Hankou and Hanyang, and the three towns of Wuhan all fell into the hands of the revolutionary party, and established a military and political axe, and at the same time Li Yuanhong was also put on the throne of governor.
Wuchang Shouyi! The world is shaking!!
The three towns of Wuhan are located in the heart of the Central Plains, developed industry and agriculture, prosperous humanities, and the location is very important, far from being comparable to Sichuan in the southwest.
The regent Zaifeng, Prince Qing Yixuan, Xu Shichang, Natong, Shixu, Liangbi, and other Manchu and Han Dynasty members gathered in the Taihe Palace, at this moment the majestic Forbidden City has no glory in the past, the gloomy clouds are bleak, and the heavy big stone is pressed on everyone's heart, the Queen Mother Longyu is sitting on the dragon chair with the little emperor Puyi, who is only six or seven years old, and there is no grace and dignity in the past, the two eyes are like peaches, and they are already crying and swollen, and all the ministers in the palace are also like mourning and examining, Only the little emperor Puyi didn't seem to know anything, and looked at the people of His Highness curiously.
"The ministers are the pillars of the Qing Dynasty, and the safety of the mourning family and His Majesty is on you, and I hope you can thank the court for its kindness, stand up in times of crisis, share worries for the country, Kuang Fu Sheji, and thank you on behalf of the emperor!"
As she spoke, the Empress Dowager Longyu burst into tears, and the ministers present were also uncomfortable and a little sour, and at this time a young official stood up!
"The Queen Mother doesn't have to be alarmed, my Qing Dynasty is an iron-clad country, not a few chaotic parties can be shaken, Weichen is not talented, willing to personally mention a group of people to Wuhan to quell the rebellion, from the Sichuan Han Road south, it only takes two days to get to Wuhan, think that those chaotic parties can not even stabilize the situation, and there are many local courtiers in Wuhan who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and they will definitely succeed in the counterattack in one fell swoop!" It was Liangbi who spoke, the leader of the young generation of relatives and nobles in Manchuria, Liangbi was an honest official, different from those children of the Eight Banners who only knew how to have fun, and was regarded as the leader of the new generation of nobles.
As soon as he stood up and spoke, Longyu suddenly felt bold, if he could really do this, Daqing could still be saved! The regent Zaifeng on the side also nodded frequently, among the people present, I am afraid that no one cares more about the Wuchang Uprising than him, the one sitting on the dragon chair is his son, he is now the de facto emperor, and it is the most important thing to keep his son's country.
"Liangbi, are you sure? How many centaurs are needed? ”
"If you go back to the regent, I think as long as there are enough elite people in one town, you will be able to pacify the rebellious party!"
Zaifeng's face was full of praise, it seemed that he was still his own talent, and he was about to say a few words of encouragement, when Prince Qing on the side opened his mouth.
"Regent, this Wuchang rebellion is different from the past, the thieves are like fire, and at this time Sichuan is also in turmoil, if the two provinces are connected to one place, it will be more difficult to pacify, so it is necessary to have a person with outstanding ability, in my opinion, only Yuan Shikai has this ability in the whole world, and the rest of the people are just shouting well, and sending them out is just a bad thing!"
Lao Yixuan's status is noble, he has a deep friendship with Yuan Shikai, and Yixuan also looks down on Liangbi, these young Eight Banner disciples who shout fiercely, all of them have no hair on their mouths, they can't handle things well, and they treat the major affairs of the military state as child's play, are there any elite troops in the Manchu Qing Dynasty now? It's nothing more than the Beiyang New Army.
Now the Yongping Autumn Festival is being held, and the elite soldiers are all gathered in Zhili, but when the news of the uprising comes, the first thing to watch out for is that these armies are chaotic, and the use of soldiers is different from that of Qiuying.
Although these words of Yixuan are not polite, but Zaifeng and Longyu listened to them, and kept thinking in their hearts, Liangbi's words were obviously too reckless, but to enable Yuan Shikai first of all, he couldn't pass the pass of Zaifeng, just three years ago, Cixi and Guangxu died successively, Pu Yi ascended the throne, Zaifeng was also reborn, became the regent, and the power was overwhelming.
Zaifeng's first fire was Yuan Shikai, who drove Lao Yuan out of Yanjing City, and even spread the news that Zaifeng was going to kill Lao Yuan, which shows Zaifeng's hatred for Yuan Shikai, some people say that it was Yuan Shikai who betrayed Emperor Guangxu, which led Zaifeng to attack Yuan Shikai in order to take revenge, but in fact, this matter is not necessarily the real situation, and there are many controversies.
In the final analysis, the most important reason for Zaifeng's attack on Yuan Shikai is the regime, Yuan Shikai is the standard-bearer of the reform and reform in the late Qing Dynasty, in addition to the formation and training of the new army, he also created a police system, implemented local elections, established a new type of education, and actively promoted constitutional government.
Zaifeng attacked him, that is, to regain the power into the hands of the Manchurian magnates, and now he wants to use Yuan Shikai, can Zaifeng be willing? When he was silent, Xu Shichang stood up.
"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Regent, the minister has a few words to say, in my opinion, the matter has not reached such a serious level in Chengdu, and it is indeed as Liangbi Dutong said that the thief situation has not reached that serious level, I think that the Minister of War Yin Chang is in command, and the Beiyang New Army can completely wipe out the chaotic party in one fell swoop and stabilize the society!"
