But whenever the great figures in history do something, try their best and still don't succeed, they usually find a big and high-sounding reason. "It's providence."

Compared with the previous uprisings, the Wuchang Uprising belonged to a routine, armed riots, and occupied the governor's yamen. If there is a difference, it is that the organization is more chaotic, but the Wuchang Uprising miraculously succeeded. What's with? Probably providence too.

Just when the new army in Hubei and other places was transferred to Sichuan to suppress the riots, Wuchang was empty. The revolutionary leaders of the Communist Association and the Literary Society formed an alliance and decided to hold an armed insurrection while Wuchang was empty.

On September 24, a joint meeting was held at 11 Rouge Lane, Wuchang, and it was determined that the uprising would be held on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and Jiang Yiwu, the president of the Literary Society, was determined to be the commander-in-chief of the Wuchang Uprising, and Sun Wu of the Communist Party was the director of military affairs. These revolutionaries decided to revolt on the day of the uprising is also very particular, in the folk for hundreds of years has been circulating the legend of August 15 to kill the Tartars, it is said that when the Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains, this group of grazing guys on the grassland had no culture, and they have always refused to learn from the Han people, and implemented high-pressure rule, and several Han people had to share a kitchen knife.

The Han family married a new daughter-in-law, the Mongolian chief had to enter the cave house first, and such a high-pressure rule finally made the Han people rise up, Zhu Yuanzhang used Liu Bowen's strategy, and sandwiched the note "Kill the Tartar on August 15" in the moon cake. On the fifteenth of August, everyone killed the Tartar together. The Manchus were also known as Manchus, so the date of the uprising of these revolutionaries was quite creative! Jiang Yiwu and Sun Wu planned and arranged it to think that it was foolproof, and they only waited for the full moon of August to revolt together and wrap Manchu dumplings, but the development of things in the future greatly exceeded everyone's expectations!

On the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar (September 24), everyone polished their guns and prepared to start working in the evening. But on this day, there was an extraneous incident, there was a soldier named Meng Huachen, who drank too much, and as soon as he drank too much, he was the eldest of the day, and he was the second. He didn't listen to the commander's persuasion, and he went crazy and beat the commander. The chief is on fire! ordered to beat the military sticks hard, Meng Huachen was not a vegetarian, and led his usual group of iron buddies to smash the battalion headquarters, and the commander also ran away. When he led the troops to solve the trouble of the soldiers, Meng Huachen also woke up a lot, and when he saw that the matter made him make a big fuss, he was so frightened that he ran away.

It was this soldier's inadvertent disturbance that attracted the attention of the Hubei authorities. After the Hubei New Army was transferred to Sichuan, the authorities knew that their defense was empty and raised their vigilance! At this time, rumors of the killing of Tartars on August 15 spread in the streets and alleys of the common people, and the rumors were vivid, with noses and eyes. It is also unknown whether the incident was purely a coincidence or whether the revolutionaries had leaked information without secret, and the Hubei authorities attached great importance to this rumor.

The governor of Huguang, Rui Wei, ordered that there should be no holiday on August 15, and the whole city would be under martial law. Officers and men are not allowed to go out of the camp, and gatherings and dinners under any name are strictly prohibited. Even the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was held a day earlier. During martial law, except for the sentry, a small amount of ammunition can be carried. The rest of the soldiers' ammunition was all handed over and kept in a centralized manner.

Judging from the government's measures to prevent soldiers from carrying guns to suppress the riot, it should have been informed of the uprising in advance, and it was known that this group of new troops was going to prepare for a riot, and what was even worse was that even the common people and aunts on the streets vaguely knew that they were going to kill the Tartars on August 15, which shows how amateurish the rebellion led by our revolutionaries was! How loosely organized!

On September 28, Jiao Dafeng, the leader of the Communist Advancement Association, wrote to the Wuchang Uprising Headquarters that the uprising was not well prepared and that it had been postponed to October 16. After the Mid-Autumn Festival peacefully, the governor of Huguang breathed a sigh of relief, and the people also spent an August 15 quietly. Just as the day of the uprising on the 16th was approaching, something happened again on the side of the revolutionary party.

On October 9, at No. 14 Baoshantang, the Russian Concession in Hankou, Liu Gong, the chief leader of the uprising, and Sun Wu, the minister of military affairs, checked the roster of the names of the revolutionaries in the uprising in the headquarters, and were planning the details of the uprising with great ambition. An unexpected thing happened! - There was a loud bang, and the stored bomb exploded in advance. This accident completely disrupted the plan of the uprising, and what was worse was that the list of revolutionaries who had revolted fell into the hands of the Russian patrol and was handed over to the governor of Huguang.

Sun Wu, the military chief of the uprising, was seriously injured by a bomb and had just been sent to Tongren Hospital, where Liu Tong and Li Shuqing, who were at the headquarters, were arrested without having time to flee in a hurry. The governor of Huguang ordered the city gates to be closed and the revolutionaries were searched for in the city. Things have changed! Jiang Yiwu convened an emergency meeting of Liu Fuji and Peng Chufan at No. 85 Xiaochao Street, Wuchang, and decided to revolt immediately, and ordered all units to fire their cannons at 12 o'clock in the night (October 9).

Just when all the preparations that should be prepared, the delivery of the letters, another unexpected situation happened. Comrade Liu Tong, who was at the scene of the bomb explosion, was caught, tortured, high-ranking officials, and money beauties. confessed the headquarters located at No. 85 Xiaochao Street, if Liu Tongzhi Lu Dao recruited one day later and became a revolutionary hero, this brother would definitely regret his intestines! In an instant, a large number of military and police surrounded No. 85 Xiaochao Street, Peng Chufan and Liu Fuji were arrested, and Jiang Yiwu did not attract the attention of the military and police because he was dressed like an old scholar who was guarding himself and specializing in knowledge, and took advantage of the chaos to escape.

The person who delivered the letter to the Nanhu Artillery Team hid and hid all the way, and by the time he finally transferred to the Nanhu Artillery Team, it had already passed 12 o'clock in the evening. The agreed time for firing the cannon at 12 o'clock had passed, and Xu Wannian, the representative of the artillery battalion, had to temporarily decide to postpone the uprising. Although the troops of the other standard battalions received the news that the artillery was fired at 12 o'clock in the evening, they could not hear the sound of the artillery for a long time, so they had to stand still and stand by, so that the planned plan for the 9th uprising was also canceled halfway.

The autumn night was cool and pleasant, but the revolutionaries who were preparing for the uprising and the soldiers of the New Army who participated in the uprising collectively lost sleep in such a pleasant autumn night, and restlessness enveloped everyone. The whole city of Wuchang barked at night, the Qing government carried out a tense city-wide search, the strongholds of the revolutionaries were eliminated one by one, and more than 30 revolutionaries were arrested.

The next morning, (October 10), Liu Fuji, Peng Chufan, and Yang Hongsheng bravely took up their duties, and the leaders who planned the uprising were arrested, killed, and fled. By the way, there is also an old professor who looks like Jiang Yiwu, who took advantage of the chaos to get through, and I don't know where Lu Dao is hiding at this time.

After receiving the order for the uprising, the revolutionaries and the soldiers of the New Army of the battalions suddenly lost contact with the organizations above, and the Qing government was launching a large-scale manhunt throughout the city, and posted a notice that the revolutionaries would surrender themselves. Anxiety, fear, and insecurity shrouded the hearts of everyone involved in the uprising, and once the matter was revealed, it was a matter of losing their heads! It was in this uneasy mood that the revolutionary party that participated in the uprising spent the day. Don't explode in silence, just die in silence, there is one person who decided to explode!

Xiong Bingkun, the eighth battalion of the sapper (platoon commander), stood up, he summoned the soldiers of the whole battalion, instead of sitting and waiting to be slaughtered, it is better to fight to the death, maybe there is a way to live! People are knives, I am fish and meat, don't wait for the Nanhu cannon to go out, we will have an accident at night! In the art of war, it is said: "Put to death and then live" The masters of the rebellion in the past generations are all not to rebel and die, and the big deal of rebellion is to die, and there may be a way to live if you rebel. Rebel! Fuck me upside down!
