Although the death squads succeeded in capturing the Governor's Palace, this success was not enough to change the outcome of the uprising, and the Governor of Liangguang, Tan Chung-lin, was soon sent to the Governor's Yamen, and began to mobilize troops to besiege the rebels who still occupied the Governor's Palace.

Just over half an hour after Lu Haodong and the others occupied the Governor's Mansion and raised the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag, the first batch of Qing troops appeared near the Governor's Palace, but they did not attack immediately, but blocked the road first. They put a rejection horse on the road and made a gesture of interception and defense. In the midst of this, a small group of Qing soldiers once launched a tentative attack, and after successfully consuming some of the grenades and bullets that were already running out of the hands of the death squad, they retreated. Then the battlefield fell silent for a while.

In the battle just now, Lu Haodong and the others almost ran out of the remaining ammunition. But it didn't really take down many Qing soldiers, this time it was different from the time of the raid, the two sides fought farther away, the McDonald 1890 submachine gun was not accurate enough, and when the two sides were nearly 100 meters apart, most of the bullets did not know where to fly. Even the people of the death squad were wounded several by the platoon guns of the Qing soldiers. A few Qing soldiers even had the courage to launch a charge, but of course they were taught to be human by grenades, but now Lu Haodong has almost exhausted the ammunition in their hands. Fortunately, those Qing soldiers were finally repulsed.

After another hour or so, there were more and more Qing soldiers around, but they didn't attack, as if they were waiting for something. After a while, Lu Haodong and the others finally knew what those Qing soldiers were waiting for. What they were waiting for was a few cannons, even if they were obsolete: Napoleon guns that the U.S. government had sold all over the world after the Civil War. But even if it is outdated, it will never be able to withstand the death squads......

At the last moment, Lu Haodong ignited the prepared fuel, and the Governor's Mansion burned brightly, although the Qing soldiers fought hard, and in the end, half of the Governor's Mansion was burned down. Under the cover of this operation, most of the people managed to escape.

Half a month later, Mr. Sun also mixed with the American caravan and returned to Hong Kong. He then left Hong Kong and went to Japan. Before leaving, he agreed with Chen Guang that he would visit Chen Guang in North America in the near future.

The impact of this unsuccessful uprising was not as great as Mr. Sun had imagined at first, because in the Qing Dynasty, it was not uncommon for people to rebel. Because of the closure of information, (on the one hand, because of the blockade of the Qing government, on the other hand, the bigger reason is the backwardness of the media industry. Even in Guangdong, many people in remote places (below the county seat) don't even know that such a thing is happening in the provincial capital. As for the whole country, it is only those in those big places who know a little vaguely.

But it would be a mistake to say that there was no impact at all. In fact, the Manchu government was quite concerned about this uprising, and even quite shocked. There are several reasons for this.

First of all, only twenty rebels were able to capture a governor's palace, which once again exposed the incompetence of the Manchus. Well, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is incompetent, this is known to everyone, whether it is a Westerner or an Oriental, as long as it is a foreigner, they can beat me in a trick to beat the Qing Dynasty. But after all, it is a foreigner, and my level of fighting Chinese in Daqing is still good, at least, in the eyes of most people, I Daqing still has enough strength to suppress ordinary people. However, this time it is also Chinese who are facing up, and my Daqing is still so vulnerable, and this problem is big. Although the historical bullshit history books talk about the reason why a certain dynasty can get the mandate of heaven, most of them are nonsense such as "Virtue and benevolence, Ze is surrounded by four wildernesses, and there will eventually be the world". But in the final analysis, one of the fundamental points of a dynasty or a regime is that it is the most powerful violent organization in the land. If the power of a state is to be questioned, then its rule cannot be stable. No matter how "virtuous and benevolent" he is.

Many years ago, Liu Lichuan of the Little Knife Society took the county seat of Shanghai with seven people, but at that time Shanghai was still a very small city, and it could not be compared with a provincial capital like Guangzhou now. In addition, that incident happened in the era when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in full swing, so the attention it attracted and the impact caused by it were far from being comparable to this incident.

The second point is that these chaotic parties actually published articles in foreign languages in foreigners' newspapers. Of course, this gave the Qing government a reason to attack them for colluding with foreign countries, but the Qing government was also really afraid that they would really get foreign support. Besides, these propaganda of the chaotic party is still much better than that of the long hair back then. At that time, Changmao engaged in what worship of God, and beat Confucius and Mencius into evil spirits, which made them oppose the local gentry, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to successfully suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the group training organized by the local gentry played the most important role. If the local gentry did not actively join the Manchu side, the Manchus were actually powerless to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In the current proclamations of the chaotic party, not only from the perspective of nationalism, they accuse the Manchus of being foreign barbarians, but also openly propose that after the revolution, they should abolish the privileges of the Eight Banners, give greater power to the localities, and practice "democracy" or something. Obviously, the local gentry could easily have interpreted them as an increase in their rights, and shared in the benefits that would have been given to the Eight Banners. If the local gentry were really seduced by them, the future of the Manchus would be really bleak. Because now it is a very simple fact that the Manchus no longer have enough force to make the world submit. Now his rule was largely dependent on the local gentry. Now the actions of the rebels have also exposed their weakness to the local gentry, and even if those guys do not fall to the rebels, they will definitely demand a redistribution of power and interests. Because although there are many principles for the distribution of benefits, the most basic one is violence.

In addition to these political shocks, there were other things that also made the Manchu rulers breathe a sigh of relief. That's what the weapons were taken from the insurgents who died in battle: grenades and MacDonald 1890 submachine guns.

The Manchu ministers referred to these two weapons in their memoirs:

"The people who rebelled all used Citi guns, which were short and small, and the stacks were not as long as a foot, but the projectiles were extremely fast, like a storm, and ordinary firearms were less than one in ten. There are also grenades, which contain explosives and steel balls. It weighs no more than half a catty, and the strong can throw a hundred steps. When it lands, it explodes, a thunder falls, within dozens of steps, it is all eroded, and its power is no less than that of a cannon, but it cannot be far away...... If a person who rebells the party uses this sharp weapon to suddenly attack, it is difficult to protect all of them, although there are many guards...... The minister thought that he should tell the people not to sell such sharp weapons to the rebellious party, and to buy more of them for the purpose of guarding......"

Nonsense such as "Xiao Yu Yiren" is, of course, just a matter of putting powder on his own face. Foreigners don't take this Manchu "message" in their eyes, it's just a fart for him. However, the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company finally saw the benefits of ordering a batch of submachine guns for the Royal Guard, and agreed not to sell weapons to any Chinese who were not representatives of the Manchu government. Of course, this guarantee is actually meaningless, because Mr. Sun Wen, the leader of the rebel party, is an American with American citizenship. R1058
