"Ding Han, how is it outside now?" Standing on the windowsill, looking at the outside, which was gradually gaining popularity, Yan Guang asked Song Dinghan, who was standing behind him.

"All kinds of supplies have flowed into the city, and I believe that order can be restored soon." Song Dinghan replied.

"That's right..."

More than half a month ago, Qin Zaigeng and Long Mingjian's East Road Baolu Comrade Army attacked Chengdu, although it failed to overcome it because of its strength, but it also surrounded Chengdu.

Under the siege of Tuantuan, except for the water that can still be solved by wells and rivers, food cannot be brought in at all.

Seeing that the food in the city was decreasing little by little, but the food outside could not be transported in at all, rumors spread in the city, and many people even remembered that in the past, when there was no sufficient food, the people in the city had to eat people.

At this time, because Yan Guang had prepared a large amount of food and materials in advance, there was no problem within the company, but almost all the employees and soldiers in the company were in Chengdu and near Chengdu.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the East Road Baolu Army outside to take the initiative to retreat, and Song Dinghan and the others also exhaled.

"Boss, Duanfang has already entered Sichuan with the 31st and 32nd bids of the eighth town of the Hubei New Army, and Zhang Renjun has also sent troops to suppress the Baolu Comrade Army, should we launch it in advance now?"

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the New Army was the establishment of one town, two associations, and four standards, of which the town was equivalent to the division, the association was equivalent to the brigade, and the standard was equivalent to the regiment.

The 31st and 32nd standards add up to two regiments, equivalent to a brigade or half a division.

In the autumn of 1906, the New Army of the North and the South carried out a large-scale exercise, and the evaluation of the Beiyang New Army was "to win with courage" and the evaluation of the Hubei New Army was "to win with knowledge".

(At that time, the Hubei New Army had two towns, although in the end it was only organized into a town (the eighth town) and a mixed association (tentatively compiled into the twenty-first mixed association), but the Hubei New Army still became the largest military force except for the Beiyang New Army, which is one of the reasons why the Hubei uprising could only be made by Yuan Shikai... ）

The Hubei New Army may still be deficient compared with the Beiyang New Army, but it is by no means comparable to the Sichuan New Army, a new army that has barely formed an army. And the Baolu Comrade Army was still unable to conquer it when Chengdu only had the Sichuan New Army and the patrol battalion, and when the Wuhan New Army arrived, I am afraid...

If the Sichuan New Army and the Wuhan New Army put down the Sichuan Rebellion, then everything will really be over.

However, after listening to Song Dinghan's words, Yan Guang just shook his head. "The time is still not ripe."

"Immature?" Song Dinghan was surprised, he couldn't imagine what else could happen in Sichuan.

"Wait, wait..."

——————————

After the Imperial Cabinet, the Baolu Movement and the Chengdu Bloody Case, Sichuan really couldn't do anything else.

However, there is nothing to do in Sichuan, but it does not mean that there cannot be something in Hubei.

As early as May 1911, the two major revolutionary groups in Hubei, the Society and the Communist Association, held a secret meeting to prepare to merge into one group and then carry out an uprising, led by two of the later "Shouyi Sanwu", Jiang Yiwu and Sun Wu.

Among them, Jiang Yiwu is the president of the society, and the Communist Association is headed by Sun Wu.

(To explain here, the Communist Association is a peripheral group of the League, and the Society is a revolutionary group of Reading Power, with more than 5,000 members, most of whom are soldiers of the New Army, although some of the speechless Manchu political axes are unaware of the more than 4,000 soldiers who like such strange things, but in fact, the Wuchang Uprising is indeed the largest contributor.) ）

Although both were revolutionary groups, and both had one goal, that is, to overthrow the Manchu government, there was still a great deal of contention between the two sides at the time of the merger conference, and the focus of this dispute was who would be the boss after the merger.

Although all the people present were revolutionaries, not all of them were saints, and no one would agree to the team that they had worked so hard to pull out and give them away as their junior brothers. (When the League was established, if Huang Xing had not taken the initiative to give way to Sun Yat-sen, I am afraid that the establishment of the League would not have gone smoothly.) ）

According to the society, the society has a large number of members, and the new army has developed for many years, and the more than 4,000 new troops are all members of the society, so it should be headed by the society, and the leader they elected is Jiang Yiwu.

According to the Communist Association, they are the descendants of the League, and they have sufficient funds, and they need to provide funds for revolutionary activities in the future, so the Communist Association should be the boss, and the leader they elected is Sun Wu...

On the question of who should be the boss, the two sides argued for several months, and finally a member of the Communist Association named Deng Yulin proposed. "Both of us are revolutionary comrades, and there is no need to fight for your superiority and our inferiority, now that the revolutionary situation is urgent, if we continue to fight like this, when will the anti-Qing cause have a result? So, let's set up a headquarters, the leaders of both sides join, and everyone no longer uses the old name, what do you think? ”

Everyone argued for so long, and felt that it was not a solution, and finally unanimously agreed to Deng Yulin's proposal, and on September 24, 1911, the revolutionary command was formed, and the two sides were collectively referred to as the "Wuchang Revolutionaries", and the old name of the Social Advancement Association was no longer used, and Jiang Yiwu was elected as the military commander-in-chief, Sun Wu was the minister of military affairs, and Liu Gong, another leader of the Communist Advancement Association, was the prime minister. (Jiang Yiwu, who was born in propaganda, is a military commander, but Sun Wu, who was born in a military academy, is the minister of military affairs, it seems that a gun is indeed more useful than a money bag...) ）

At the same time, it was decided at the meeting to launch an uprising on October 6, which was the 15th day of August in the old calendar, and was taken from the allusion of the Ming religion of "killing the Tartars on the 15th of August" at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

It's just that when the Social and Progressive Association was meeting, some soldiers of the Hubei New Army were preparing to retire, so they drank in the barracks. The revolutionaries in the barracks took the opportunity to launch an uprising, and they were about to revolt with their cannons. Who knew that these cannons had no bolts, and they couldn't be released, so they had no choice but to disperse in a hurry.

The governor of Huguang, Ruihan, immediately declared that the whole city would be under martial law on the 15th day of the eighth month of the old calendar, that officers and men were not allowed to leave the camp, that ammunition was strictly controlled, and that all ammunition was stored and managed in a centralized manner except for the soldiers on duty. Even the Mid-Autumn Festival has to be held in advance.

Fortunately, out of consideration for stabilizing the morale of the army, Ruihan and Zhang Biao named this "mutiny" as an ordinary soldier disturbance, and did not track down the masterminds behind the scenes on a large scale. Some people proposed to transfer the new army engineering battalion from the Chuwangtai Armory, but Li Yuanhong, the commander of the mixed association, was also opposed and was not approved.

The Qing army was under martial law, and the difficulty of the revolutionaries to revolt on October 6 was too great, and everyone held a meeting to discuss it, and decided to postpone the uprising until October 11.

August 15 passed safely, and the Hubei Qing government axe breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that its preventive measures were effective, and the rumor of "killing Tartars on August 15" did not happen, and strode over. However, they did not know that the revolutionary party was still in full swing and was stepping up its preparations.

Everything was going well, but it seemed that the uprising was coming. Who knows that there are many good things, and there are waves of unsettled waves, and on the eve of the uprising, there is another problem on Sun Wu's side, and this time there is a big problem!

On the evening of October 9, Sun Wu was in his residence**, ready to be used in the event of an uprising. I don't know which link went wrong, in short, there was a sudden "boom" with a loud bang, the explosives exploded by mistake, the scene was a mess, and Sun Wu himself was seriously burned.

Sun Wu's residence is within the Russian concession, the efficiency of the Russian police is very high, as soon as they heard the sound of the explosion, they immediately sent people to investigate, for a time the chickens and eggs were beating inside, and the sirens sounded outside, Sun Wu and several other revolutionaries had no time to clean up the scene, so they had to evacuate quickly.

This explosives detonation incident was the fuse of the Wuchang Uprising, and under a loud bang, a chain reaction began one after another, and finally detonated the Wuchang Uprising on October 10.
