On May 25, 1904, the last quarter of a quarter of midnight on the 11th day of the fourth lunar month, it didn't look like much difference from the past, except for the fact that a typhoon brought clouds and clouds.

At 11:35 p.m. on May 25, when people were sleeping deeper and quiet, in the Huangpu Fort Group and in the garrison barracks of the Fort, five fort soldiers, fully armed, with red cloth stamps wrapped around their sleeves and bayonets on their guns, came to the dormitory of the fort keeper Rui Geng quietly and quickly, and the two guards at the door were half-asleep sitting next to the door and napping on the left and right.

The two of them snuck up to their side by the shadow of the tree, and quickly pounced, each holding one of the guards tightly, while the other two hurried over, shoved each of them with handkerchiefs, took their weapons, and then tied them up and dragged them to the shadows in the corner.

The other three quickly entered Rui Geng's bedroom, and when they walked to the bed, Rui Geng suddenly woke up, heard a sound in the room, and was pulling out his hand to get the gun, one of them flew over, raised the butt of the gun and slammed his head, only to hear a scream, and then fainted, and the other person poked him in the chest with a bayonet, blood flowed, and Rui Geng's surname was ended, and they successfully and quickly completed the task assigned by the Guangdong Uprising Command, and never fired a shot, did not alarm others.

At the same time as the special operation team cleared out the guard officer Ruigeng, under careful deployment, the officers and soldiers of each post arrested and imprisoned the officers and soldiers who did not want to revolt. About 20 people who resisted arrest and resistance were killed, and the Whampoa Fort was easily captured by the officers and soldiers of the uprising.

At midnight it was extremely silent, and although there was a half-moon hanging in the sky, it was covered by a thin white cloud, revealing only a faint light, which made the earth clothed in a hazy pale gray, and the atmosphere seemed heavy, and the air seemed to be frozen, and everything around it became serious and mysterious, making people feel nervous and heavy. Foreshadowing of something special to break out.

The Shahe town of Guangzhou is backed by Baiyun Mountain, leans on the slender dog ridge in the east, the terrain is complex, the situation is dangerous, there is a road leading to the urban area, it is the throat that enters Guangzhou from the northeast direction, and it is the place where the soldiers must fight. There are about 500 people stationed here in a battalion of the Qing Army.

A group of student troops, led by Li Muyang, set out from the main school camp, ran forward, and went straight to Shahe. When the troops were about to approach the barracks, Li Muyang stood on the slope on the left side of the main road, held a baton, pointed at the enemy, and said to the officers and soldiers in a low voice.

"Hurry up! Come on! It's almost dawn!"

After hearing this, the students grabbed their rifles one by one, increased their pace, and bravely rushed towards the enemy camp.

When the troops approached the enemy camp, the two cadets who rushed to the front were shot by the guards at the camp gate and were unfortunately killed. The rebellious cadets hurriedly dispersed, opened fire and threw grenades, and in a short time eliminated the guards at the door, quickly stormed the barracks, and split up to the various dormitories.

The recruits, awakened by the sound of gunfire, were scrambling to get up and get dressed and rush into the student army of the battalion, shouting as they fired with submachine guns.

"Shoot or kill!" Don't resist!"

As soon as the Qing soldiers saw that the barracks were surrounded and so many rebels came, they did not dare to resist, and raised their hands to surrender, and in less than ten minutes, the battle was over, and the first battle of the Shahe battle was won.

At the same time, in the classroom of Dezheng School, the phone rang constantly, "Report to the commander-in-chief, Yu Deshun, the guard of the Humen Fort, has been captured, and the fort soldiers have revolted!" ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Humen Green Battalion garrison Sun Zhipeng surrendered ......"

With the report of the staff officers, the staff officers gathered around the sand table took down the yellow dragon flag symbols outside the city from time to time and replaced them with blue, yellow and red tricolor flags.

Cai Ye, who was standing in front of the sand table, was just standing in front of the sand table, and the targets outside the city were being taken down one after another, and just as he was pondering, another report came.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the third outpost of the new army agreed to participate in the uprising!"

As soon as he heard the news, Cai Ye raised his brows and raised his head.

"Flare off, revolt in the city!"

At half past three o'clock in the morning, when five red signal flares were raised outside the city, the first regiment of the Honghan Society, 2,300 people, immediately set out from Taiqiu Academy, divided into two teams, one team from the fourth archway to the east, west to the West Gate City, this area is the residential area of Guangzhou Suolu, although Guangzhou is not full of cities, but in the city is also a residential area, more than 100 people guard a street entrance, the other team from the fourth archway to the south, to the police station, the political secretary Yamen approached.

Nearly 20,000 members of the Honghan Society's Guangdong branch had already gathered in Guangdong a few days earlier, and the officers in charge of commanding them were more than 800 student officers from the Dezheng Hall in Guangdong and nearly 200 officers who had arrived in Guangdong from Shanghai with Cai Yi, the commander-in-chief of the uprising.

The expressions of the young officers of the troops commanding with guns were serious, there was no gunfire, no fierce fighting outside the city, the otherwise quiet streets were all filled with the sound of neat footsteps and weapons clashing, and the policemen on the night patrol did not blow their whistles at all when they encountered the soldiers, or stood there waiting for the whistle to be confiscated, or directly joined the troops of the uprising.

The footsteps woke up some of the sleeping citizens, who pushed open the wooden windows on the second floor and saw a crowd of people surging on the streets.

The uprising, which had been orderly and seemingly smooth, suddenly began, and the battle began outside the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, bullets rained down, the smell of gunpowder and sulfur filled the low air, and many soldiers were wounded and bleeding all over the ground. Under the leadership of those young officers, the officers and men of the uprising still fought tenaciously in the face of the enemy's heavy fire. From the north and south, inch by inch, step by step, they advanced in front of the yamen of the governor's palace. When someone was wounded and fell, he would be carried to a secluded alley and taken to a temporary mobile medical station set up by the rebels to be bandaged and treated.

Huangpu Fort, Butterfly Gang Fort, heavy 260 mm Krupp cannon in the efforts of more than a dozen gunners, the gun wheel turned, pointing straight to the city of Guangzhou behind, the Whampoa Fort has 30 gun positions from 280 mm heavy guns to 120 mm light guns, but only this cannon of Butterfly Gang can turn to point to Guangzhou City.

In the dark, the battery soldier pushing a 275-kilogram heavy artillery shell loaded the heavy shell into the stuffed gun chamber with the help of a sling.

"Twenty degrees of the ruler, the horizontal ruler does not move, fire the grenade!"

When the artillery commander gave the command, one of the artillerymen standing on the edge of the fort suddenly shouted.

"Lord of the Army, there is a signal in the city, two green and one red!"

It was the city's call for the bombardment of the Governor's Palace.

"Fire!"

With a command, the night sky of the Butterfly Gang Fort was suddenly red by a huge cannon flame, and a heavy cannonball flew straight towards the city of Guangzhou.

In the Liangguang Governor's Palace, Cen Chunxuan, who was only wearing a single coat, was commanding the guards who were resisting along the corridors and piers in the palace, and the cannonballs from Guanyin Mountain fell in the Governor's Mansion from time to time, and the rebel officers and soldiers who rushed into the Governor's Mansion were lying on the pier to counterattack, most of them were untrained Honghan disciples, and at most they were making a noise, most of them were holding the trigger, roughly pointing to the front and pulling the trigger to shoot, but the guards in the Governor's Mansion shot accurately, and for a time the offensive that was originally smooth was stuck in the Governor's Palace.

"Quick, General Li, bring someone to ...... immediately"

Seeing that the war was stalemate, Cen Chunxuan, who was holding a knife in his left hand and a short spear in his right hand, first cut down a guard who wanted to escape, and then gave an order.

"My lord, the rebel party blew up the west side of the parapet, and the brigade is ......"

Just before the official finished speaking, a sharp sound of breaking the air came, and when the official Zuo who was kneeling on the ground was listening to this empty whistle, his body jumped and threw Cen Chunxuan down under him, and then a violent explosion reflected the entire night sky, accompanied by the explosion, and the governor's mansion was only shaken for a while.

The soldiers of the Governor's Palace, who were leaning on the corridor and the pier, were thundered by the deafening and fierce explosion, and they looked in horror at the leveled rockery and the screams around it, and there was a cut of corpse hanging on the tree dozens of feet away, and the backyard of the Governor's Mansion was full of crying fathers and mothers.

Pushing away the corpse pressed on his body, Cen Chunxuan, who was full of gunsmoke, looked at the guards struggling in a pool of blood through the smoke, his ears were buzzing, the knife had already fallen, through the smoke of the white hole, he saw a group of people pounced, just when he looked at the knife there, and was about to wipe his neck, a person had already rushed to him, and before he could react, there was a sharp pain in the left cheek of the man who raised the butt of the gun, and he passed out as soon as it was dark.

"Commander-in-chief, the Governor's Mansion has been taken, and Cen Chunxuan, the Governor of Liangguang, has been captured alive......"

Hearing this, a smile broke out on Cai Yi's young face, and he glanced at the subordinates around him.

"Comrades, Guangdong has been restored!"

As the words fell, there was a flash in the air, which illuminated the original light room white, and also reflected the smiles of these young people.

Through the thick black clouds, there was a flash in the air, illuminating the land of Shanghai, and almost at the same time a deafening explosion of thunder exploded, and then Tiangui fell into boundless darkness again. Only the pouring rain poured down without a head, and the branches of the trees danced wildly in the howling wind, and the leaves of the [***] made a palpitating rustle...... This thunder only hit Yan Chongnian, who lived in the Pudong Hotel, woke up from his dream, and when he woke up, he hit a spirit, and a snake-like body like nephrite around him would wrap around his body, and by flashing, Yan Chongnian could see the decoration in the hotel room, and the decoration in the earl's suite could be described as extremely luxurious.

Looking at this luxurious, Western-style room, Yan Chongnian came back to his senses, he was transferred from Ma'anshan to Pudong last month, and the past few asked for more than 100,000 taels of silver from Ma'anshan and Pudong...... Just when Yan Chongnian was looking forward to turning back to Ma'anshan, if he really set up a county, would he be able to make some silver shortage, he heard the thunder outside, the thunder was very dense, but it couldn't be seen, what was going on?

Pushing away the little peach from the Yiqing courtyard beside him, Yan Chongnian put on a piece of clothing and walked to the window, pulled open the curtains and stood by the window on the tenth floor and looked out.

From the upstairs, it can be clearly seen that at this time, the Shanghai County and Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau are flashing from time to time, and the ...... That's the shelling...... What's going on?

Before Yan Chongnian understood what was going on, there was a commotion outside the bedroom door, and as soon as he turned around, the door of the guest room was opened, and the one who opened the door and walked in was an economic police officer from Pudong, followed by two patrol policemen, the patrol officers were carrying long guns in their hands, and the policemen in front of them were holding pistols.

"You...... You ......"

Looking at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him in horror, Yan Chongnian's waist-like old face instantly turned pale.

"Old minion, the end of your master's life has fallen!"

The policeman with the gun grinned and had a smile on his face, and Yan Chongnian saw that the left sleeve of the man's shirt was covered with a red cloth sleeve, and it was written "The Great Han Restoration Army"!

Those five words and the look on this person's face, thinking of the sound of cannons coming from Shanghai County, only made Yan Chongnian's legs weak, and he knelt down.

"Don't ...... Don't kill me! ”

With his knees on the ground, Yan Chongnian took a few steps forward, and old tears were squeezed out of his old face.

"I ...... I...... I'm Han, I'm anti-Manchu, uncle......"

When he said this, tears just fell from his old face, and he even began to cry.

"My family entered the customs from the captivity, so they let them enclose the land and become a clothed slave, this is a blood debt for hundreds of years......"

While crying about "injustice", he also kowtowed, snorting and tearing about the former master, how he bullied their ancestors back then, and that looked like an expression of a century-old injustice.

While he was crying, Little Peach woke up, and she looked at the policeman with a gun in horror, wanting to shout but not daring to shout.

"The old slave of the dog, you have the fucking face to say that you are Han, and you dare to mention any blood debt!"

The policeman with the short gun cursed, then turned his head and ordered.

"Handcuff him to me, and pull this old slave to the streets!"

With that, he turned his head again, looked at the little peach with fear on his face, and squeezed a smile on his face.

"Girl, remember, don't sleep with this kind of slave next time, save his mother from polluting her body!"

Lightning and thunder roared, and in the Wusong Police Station, Jiang Guoliang, the guard officer of the fort, Gong Guangyao, the guerrilla of the Nanhui Battalion, and Yang Chengbo, the head of the Wusong Police District, looked at Xie Aiguang, the chief director of the Chamber of Commerce, and his party in front of them.

"The only plan for today, the three brothers, either Yi Zhi Guangfu, or be the loyal minister of Suolu, was engraved in his hometown "Han Annihilation Monument" on the descendants of the shameful police, if the three brothers are willing, I can now send electricity to the Hunan Governor Axe, please engrave the names of the three brothers and the generals in the camp on the tablet! ”

Xie Aiguang's words only shocked the faces of the three people, in Wusong's garrison, many officers are from Hunan, if ...... Think of the rumors that came from nowhere.

"That Hunan man is not easy to recover, so dig his ancestral grave!"

This rumor is said to be said by Liu Kui, the governor of the Hunan Han Dynasty, who said it in the mouth, these words have been spread in the market, not to mention the officials in the camp, even the Hunan officials in the capital, one by one, they are also sighing, for fear that their ancestral graves will be dug up, and those who lead troops can be recovered, and if the civil officials who do not bring troops dare to recover, it is not a joke with their heads.

Speaking Xuan's kung fu, Yang Chengbo, the head of the Wusong Police District, smiled and spoke first when Jiang Guoliang and Gong Guangyao looked at each other and hesitated.

"Hehe, Mr. Lian is really joking, I am all Han people, and now that the national recovery is the general trend, how can we and other Han people continue to be the slaves of the Manchurian old ladies!"

"This is extremely true, sir, I will wait for this to order the army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, and Mr. Lian will ...... on his behalf."

Just as Jiang Guoliang and Gong Guangyao opened their mouths to agree to Yi Zhi, an officer in a tea-green military uniform walked in with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to join the national armed forces, I am the commander-in-chief of the Wusong Uprising of the Liberation Army, Major Lin Shaobai."

After introducing himself, Lin Shaobai took out a document from the leather satchel on his waist and read it.

"Order of the Headquarters of the Liberation Army: Jiang Guoliang was appointed as the commander of the Wusong Fort, and Gong Guangyao was appointed as the commander of the Nanhui Reading Force Garrison Battalion...... Chen Moran, commander-in-chief of the Liberation Army, April 11, 4,602 of the Yellow Emperor, said"

Listening to the final end of the letter of appointment, several people were shocked at the same time.

Chen Moran ...... Mo Fei ......"

"It's Chen lame...... Mr! ”

When Jiang Guoliang said this, he hurriedly changed his words, and now he is the commander-in-chief of the Liberation Army.

"Exactly!"

This will make everyone a little dumbfounded, Chen Moran and Chen Cripple are the commanders-in-chief of the Liberation Army, and they are the "Mr. Crutches" in the epicenter, and Xie Aiguang took a while to react, Mr. Crutches is Chen Moran, and Chen Moran is Mr. Crutches! Things in this world are too ...... On the contrary, Jiang Guoliang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, what kind of person is Chen Moran, that is the number one tycoon in Shanghai of the rich country and the enemy country, what to fight in a war is to fight silver! Whoever has more money will win the battle!

When a few people received the letter of appointment, Gong Guangyao felt that he was in a cold sweat on his head, and after receiving the letter of appointment, they were against the party, after glancing at each other, everyone gritted their teeth, and at the same time said to Lin Shaobai, a young man who was only twenty years old.

"Please show Chief Lin, how to act next!"

"Yi Zhi, in response to the Shanghai Uprising, control the fort, and prepare for the ...... of the Nanhui Battalion of the fort"

A series of orders spit out from Lin Shaobai's mouth, and finally after everyone took the order and left, he left Jiang Guoliang alone, and then glanced at Jiang Guoliang with a surprised look.

"Captain Jiang, if the warships of the great powers attack, do you dare to open fire?"

Lin Shaobai, who was staring at Jiang Guoliang, had an unusually serious expression. Jiang Guoliang, who was stared at, smiled.

"Commander-in-chief, if you fight your own brothers, maybe Guoliang will hesitate, but the foreigners' warships, as long as there is an order, Guoliang and the brothers on the fort will all swear to serve their lives! If one person retreats, but please ask the commander-in-chief of the Zhu Guoliang family to engrave his name on the Han Dynasty Monument......"
