"Who fired the first shot?

September 29th!

Perhaps this is the biggest mystery of this day, to this day, everyone will call this day the day of awakening, different from the demonstration in Nanjing, in the Beijing Division, after the thousands of police officers of the Beijing Division Police Station hurriedly abandoned their weapons and fled, the first shot was fired!

No one knows if it was the awakened populace who fired the first shot, or if the Praetorian Guards in the Forbidden City fired the first shot.

To this day, until a hundred years later, there are still many opinions about who fired the first shot, but the official and also the most widely accepted view is that the Manchu Janissaries fired the first shot, they shot first at the unarmed people, and of course, many so-called "historians of the truth" still claim that this was a conspiracy, and they even use the policemen to run away in armor to explain everything, and they even claim that the policemen were bought, so they abandon their weapons and refuse to perform their duties.

But those people apparently forgot one thing - that the monstrous national wave was not something that anyone could resist.

Of course, maybe we should thank those policemen, if it weren't for those policemen who discarded their weapons, no one knows what kind of tragedy would have happened that day, maybe that day would have turned out to be the bloodiest day! ”

Gunshot!

When the gunshots rang out, the demonstrators in front of the Forbidden City were stunned for a moment, and then immediately ran to the side of the road to avoid the bullets, but not all of them fled, and the first few students directly picked up the rifles that were discarded by the police, although it was only an old Mauser rifle, but now they have no choice, almost grabbed the gun and hit it.

One person took the lead, and naturally there were other people who followed, whether it was the students of the northeast or the students of Kannai, they had more or less received military training, so when they fired at the Praetorian Guards on the city wall, they did not fall behind, and people looked for concealment, hid in the corners of the roadside, and kept shooting at the city wall.

All of a sudden, the dull sound of gunfire echoed in the inner city!

When the policemen fled, they not only discarded their weapons, but also discarded ammunition packs and police uniforms, which gave the students enough ammunition, at least for a short time.

However, compared to the Janissaries who used Hanyang-style fast guns, the students used the old Mauser used by the police, and the number of people was small, so their firepower was always suppressed by the Janissaries, and at this moment, I don't know who shouted.

"There are still weapons in the police station!"

"Nanyuan also has the arsenal of the Praetorian Guard......"

Shouts like this echoed in the crowd, in the agitation of the gunshots, everyone was no longer afraid, everyone became a warrior at this time, at first hundreds, thousands of people rushed towards the police station, in the end it was tens of thousands, rushing towards several police stations in Beijing, in the face of these angry and enthusiastic people, the police were almost restrained, there was no resistance at all, in fact, most of the police had already fled, ran away.

At the same time that the people took out thousands of weapons from several police stations in the city, dozens of trucks -- the trucks of the "Beijing-Tianjin Automobile Transport Company" that had just been established more than a month ago -- were loaded with people and headed for Nanyuan, because the main force of the Praetorian Guard had been transferred north to Kulen, so Nanyuan, which was its garrison, had few defensive troops, and although the troops were not many, tens of thousands of old weapons were stored in the warehouses of Nanyuan, most of which were eliminated by the Praetorian Guard. But the victory is in sufficient numbers, which is why the people will run to Nanyuan.

To shoot, or not to shoot?

It was a choice for Sheng Xiang, as the supreme governor who stayed in Nanyuan, when the commanders were all staying in Jingshi, he didn't dare to make any decision in the face of thousands of people who were eager to rush into the barracks.

What happens if you shoot?

"Chief, sir, shoot, shoot?"

Facing the inquiries of the soldiers and officers, Sheng Xiang nervously asked Aoki Xuanchun beside him, who had been employed by the Praetorian Guard for many years, and Sheng Xiang had great respect for him.

"In terms of the duty of a soldier, of course, it is a matter of course to shoot!"

Aoki Xuanchun said without doubt, and just when Sheng Xiang was surprised, he said again.

"But now you have to think about the question, can you shoot them or not? If you stop them, can you stop the armies of Tianjin, Northeast China and other governors! ”

Aoki Nobujun's words are very real, perhaps, they can stop these people with their machine guns, but what about after that? Even if they pacified the Jingshi, but in the face of the reality that their compatriots were killed, how could those governors give up?

That's where I'm most worried!

At the end of the dynasty, everyone needs to plan for themselves, how many true loyal ministers are there?

"And, don't forget, in any case, in the end, you still need to live in China, the emperor can leave China and go to other countries, and the same is true for the princes and ministers, but you are different, you will still stay in China, if you shoot, I think, maybe, you will most likely not have the opportunity to live here!"

Aoki Xuanchun accentuated his tone, his words immediately made everyone fall into contemplation, at this moment, the so-called "loyal monarch" completely became a joke, the emperor can go, but they can't go, and they can't go, if they shoot, they will probably face the thunderous wrath of the Han people, at that time, not to mention them, even their families, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe!

Can...... Everyone looked at each other seriously, as if they were waiting for someone to take the lead first, but no one wanted to come out of this head, and when the atmosphere was very weird, one person said with a bleak face.

"I, I have to stay in China in the future......"

Not only him, but everyone will live in China in the future, and when one person takes the lead in making a choice, soon, everyone makes a choice.

When thousands of people poured into the Nanyuan barracks, the more than 1,000 Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers who stayed here escaped from the barracks through the side gate, and on this day, almost everyone made their own choice.

Thousands of rifles were carried onto the car, and no one organized it, as if everything was natural, driven by that instinct.

The trucks brought the weapons back to the city, and by this time, the fierce fighting outside the Forbidden City had reached a fever pitch, and the Praetorian Guards defending the Forbidden City tried to block the attack of the populace with bullets, while the civilians fired at them from hundreds of meters apart, because there were no heavy weapons, at least for a short time, the fighting here would not end.

As more and more people get their guns, the atmosphere in the city becomes more and more eerie.

It is a city where one out of every three people is a flag man. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied Beijing more than 200 years ago, all the inner city was assigned to the banner people, and the Han people were all driven to the outer city, and the Han people were restricted from living in the inner city for a long time, so that the inner city is still dominated by banner people.

Although the anger of the people before made those flag men all afraid to dodge, but now, when the people launched an attack on the Forbidden City, the expressions of those flag men who had fled before became more and more complicated.

It was their emperor, and almost everyone listened to the gunshots with a desolate expression, worried about the emperor's fate. Finally, I don't know who took the lead, they walked out, they carried knives and guns that had been passed down for generations, and some people were armed with old-fashioned foreign guns, and they began to attack the "anti-thieves" from the streets and alleys.

At the beginning, these people's counterattack really caused a panic among the Qing troops who were concentrating on shooting at the Forbidden City, and after a moment of panic, they turned their guns and fired at the rushing bannermen.

"Protect the Emperor! Defeat the rebels! ”

Those bannermen armed with waist knives and tasseled guns, although they have not received flag salaries for many years, at this time, it does not prevent them from attacking with resolute courage, perhaps, this is the last courage of the so-called "Eight Banners".

"Ready...... Put ......"

At the corner of the street, students in student uniforms commanded a group of people, because most of those people had never shot a gun, although they were shouted to line up and shoot forward, but the bullets still inevitably flew in all directions, but the flying bullets could always take the lives of those bannermen who had managed to muster up courage again and again, and only a very small number of those bannermen with large knives were able to rush into the people's gun team and slash each other with knives.

Perhaps, this is the last cold weapon tear in the history of mankind, but the era of cold weapons has long ended, and this moment of even slight resistance has directly led to another result - the war began to spread to the ordinary people, before the resistance of the bannermen, there were people shouting "The banner people drive out of the inner city!" The people at that time did not lose their minds, and the cries of these people were not answered.

But everything changed at this moment, when tens of thousands of bannermen brandished knives and slashed at the people who revolted, when they shouted "protect the emperor", the last bit of reason disappeared with the flying blood - those who lost classmates, friends and even family members in the attack of the bannermen directed their anger at the inner city, at the high "masters" who lived here.

Gunshots echoed through the streets!

The sound of gunfire was accompanied by the cries of the people, and in the midst of the cries of the people, out of nowhere, houses were set on fire, and angry people set the city on fire with kerosene......

Gunshots, fires, cries......

Everything continued to enter the Xianliang Temple, reaching Li Guangguang's ears, looking at the red flames, his expression became extremely ugly, although he participated in planning everything, but in front of him, the chaos that happened in the city was not what he wanted to see.

In the past few hours, good and bad news continued to reach his ears, and dozens of mansions and courtyards of royal families and nobles in the capital were turned into corpses, and one by one the Manchu princes and nobles were killed by the righteous people, accompanied by the death of too many innocent people--many ordinary banner people were also attacked by the righteous people.

"It's a revolution, a revolution...... There is always a need for the dead! ”

Surprisingly, Zhang Peilun seemed extremely calm, and he even quoted an extremely rare phrase "revolution", which has never been quoted by a few people.

"Revolution, whose life is the revolution? Either we will revolutionize the Manchu Dynasty, or they will revolutionize us......"

Zhang Peilun drank wine as he spoke, and when the burst of gunfire came, his mood was also a little heavy, but he kept convincing himself there.

"Today, maybe tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people will die here, but what is it compared to a country? Chongshan ......"

As if he wanted to get support, Zhang Peilun shouted Li Guangguang and said.

"In all dynasties, every change of dynasty will be accompanied by the death of millions of people, if the death of those people can make the dynasty change smoothly, then all this is worth it......"

As a politician, sometimes you have to deal with something, like the chaos in the city at this time.

"I know, I know ......"

Li Guangguang shook his head, he just kept shaking his head.

"But, in the beginning, no, not like that...... plan"

At the beginning, the plan was very simple, the police would shoot, and after the police shot, the sixth town of the Beiyang Army in Tianjin would immediately move into Beijing, and then everything would go smoothly, the Beiyang Army would take control of the capital, and then, everything would go according to plan, but now, the reality has developed beyond everyone's expectations.

"Plan...... Always just a plan! ”

Zhang Peilun shook his head, and then he pointed to the sky outside that was red by flames.

"Look, what are we unleashing? This power is irresistible, and it is also unstoppable, and we can release this power, but we cannot control it, because ......"

Because no one is willing to bear all this, of course, the more important reason, perhaps, in the heart of each of them there is a thought - reform itself is accompanied by a bloody storm. Even, to a certain extent, they need the chaos in the inner city, the people need to vent their dissatisfaction, they need to vent their anger in their hearts, they need to change something, they need to prove something with certain actions.

Now, their actions prove everything, as if they are proving that they are Han, at this time, there is no need to think about other things, and now for them, the only thing they need to think about is how to end.

"Now, how does it end?"

Li Guangguang, who was not willing to talk about this issue, asked rhetorically, at this time he had already made his position clear, he could not appear in this incident, not only him, even Zhang Peilun and Sheng Xuanhuai would never admit their relationship with this matter, and there were some credits that not everyone was willing to receive.

"Wait, let's wait until tomorrow, maybe, our country, needs something to happen here......" (To be continued.) )
