By the time the vanguard sent by the new army found the Hefei patrol battalion, it was already ten days later. There was no way, Zhu Jiabao, who was far away in Anqing, was in a hurry, and the soldiers and horses of more than 2,000 people in the sixth battalion of the Hefei patrol battalion had no news since they went south, and the communications of the counties along the way were all cut off. Zhu Jiabao panicked, and he couldn't care about it, so he directly ordered the new army that was suppressing bandits on the front line of Jiulian Mountain in Xuancheng to quickly allocate manpower to search for the Hefei patrol battalion heading south, and he wanted to see people dead or corpses!

"After a fierce battle" and when the sharp soldiers sent by the new army found people, there were only more than 400 hungry and dying madmen left in the Ji Guangen division of six battalions of 2,000 people. With deep-set eyes, dull expressions, and tattered uniforms, these guys have been living like purgatory for the past ten days, and they have been tortured and gone crazy. When he saw the new army coming to meet him, he immediately cried and pounced.

"O Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering!"

"O Buddha......"

"Taishang Laojun, the Jade Emperor has appeared......"

Shouting everything.

Ji Guangen, who was visiting the Indian tube, ignored the madmen who were full of camps, tears and snot came down, and he cried and threw himself up to hug the thigh of the leader of the new army shed (squad leader), and refused to let go like seeing his own father, and wiped all his snot and tears on his boots. Holding back the nausea, he took a white flour cake and handed it over, and the goods immediately didn't care about holding the bread and finding a place to gobble it up.

Looking at the camp full of madmen, Zhang Qiang, the leader, quietly gave a thumbs up to the dark place behind him, and the chief instructor who meowed was really a god. Wang Wenli and Li Tianxiang's group of people are really ruthless.

Seeing the power of guerrilla warfare in the mouth of the chief instructor, he glanced at Ji Guangen and the others, who were jubilant and surrounded by a bag of dry food like an animal, Zhang Qiang's face turned red with excitement, and he whispered to the soldiers behind him with excitement:

"Dog, go and report to the chief instructor, the Hefei patrol battalion no longer exists!"

The news that the Hefei patrol battalion of 2,000 men in six battalions was almost completely wiped out was quickly reported to Zhu Jiabao, who was sitting in Anqing. However, Zhu Jiabao will not be able to take care of the six patrol battalions in Hefei. Because it's going to be even more disturbing. At the end of March, 100,000 hungry people in Tianmen County, Hubei Province, rushed for rice, kicking off a major unrest that quickly spread to neighboring provinces. The Qing court urgently telegraphed the provinces to strictly prevent the people's uprising, but the people's livelihood was extremely difficult, and tens of thousands of hungry people in Hunan rushed rice. The Qing army was running around and was exhausted. Looking at the urgent telegram from the imperial court, Zhu Jiabao couldn't care about anything else, and the telegram that the Hefei patrol battalion was almost completely wiped out was immediately thrown into the waste paper pile. As a "loyal minister and good general", Zhu Jiabao was not fooled by the Qing court's metaphor at all, and immediately ordered the new army to increase its troops! Destroy the bandits at all costs! Each county is responsible for all conveniences, and is fully responsible for the aftermath and hospitality. Borrowing the telegram, Hu Rui leaned back and smiled like a fox.

"Hehe, at all costs...... After such a battle, we have to see how much of your Qing army is left. ”

Just when the peasant ** was surging in various places, the revolutionary party, which had been silent for a while, immediately took advantage of the wind and jumped out to brush up on its sense of existence! On April 27, 1911 (the 29th day of the third month of the lunar calendar), Huang Xing, the most famous "general" of the League, led 120 revolutionary fighters after firing three shots in a row, and resolutely launched an uprising in Guangzhou. The revolutionary aspirants screamed, climbed over the wall and entered the Liangguang Governor's Office, but Zhang Mingqi was indeed lucky enough to slip away, leaving a Governor's Office empty for the revolutionary party to toss around. Seeing that "the situation is very good", the commander-in-chief Huang Xing waved his arms, completely ignored the Qing court's garrison in Guangzhou, felt that the general situation had been decided, and ordered the division of troops to attack the supervision and training office and other important organs. did not wait for the "victory that was imminent", only the Qing army that came to encircle and suppress it. Zhang Mingqi is also a character, and when he came to his senses, he immediately made a dead move, and transferred troops and horses everywhere. There was no suspense about everything that followed, and Huang Xing fled, leaving behind the heroic name of the seventy-two martyrs of Huanghuagang.

When the news came, it was another national shock. The governor's office was captured, Zhang Mingqi fled in a hurry, and although the rebellious party was finally extinguished, the provincial officials still couldn't help but feel uneasy. Under the huge influence, the governors who had swallowed money with all their lives before gritted their back molars and started a new round of expansion, and the more patrol battalions, the better!

In the midst of the chaos, time still goes on. The shock of the Guangzhou Uprising had not yet passed, and on May 8 and 9, the two decisions of the Qing court completely dispelled the hopes of the common people and gentry in the world.

"Imperial Cabinet!"

"Nationalization of the railways!"

The former one makes the world desperate at most, and the latter is going to die. In the past, the Qing government vigorously built railways, in addition to finding foreign foreign banks to mortgage and borrow funds, it was private financing. Local businessmen and gentry took the lead, and more than a dozen railway associations of all sizes across the country, beggars, prostitutes, and ruffians all had more or less shares. Needless to say, the investment in the early stage is needless to say, and now the railway construction has a little shadow, and the corn is ripe, and you bear will come to break the corn? It is true that the trunk line is in the hands of your imperial court, but don't forget, the branch line is piled up with blood, sweat and money by more than a dozen railway associations across the country! If you don't let you run a railway, you won't give people a fucking way back?!

In the past, because of the railway business, some businessmen secretly took everyone's money, ate and drank nonsense, and made a lot of trouble. Now that the Manchu government has stood up as a villain, he immediately diverted his attention and fired at the imperial court! For a while, the vigorous road protection movement began, and the most ferocious was Sichuan. On June 17, initiated by the constitutional gentry and businessmen, the Chengdu Yuefu Street Railway Company held the inaugural meeting of the Baolu Comrades Association, and established the "Sichuan Baolu Comrades Association", calling on the people of Sichuan to desperately "break the contract and protect the road". Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun were elected as the president and vice presidents, and the purpose of "breaking the contract and protecting the road" was proposed, and the "Declaration of the Baolu Comrades Association" and other proclamations were issued, and the "Report of the Sichuan Baolu Comrades Association" was published and posted everywhere to publicize the Baolu. He also sent members to give speeches and send representatives to Beijing to petition. Sichuan Women's Baolu Comrades Association, Chongqing Baolu Comrades Association and various states, counties, townships, towns, streets, and groups Baolu Comrades Branches have been established one after another, with hundreds of thousands of members. As a result, an all-Sichuan anti-imperialist patriotic united front with Chengdu as the center was formed, and the struggle to protect the road was pushed to a new stage of organization and leadership. On August 5, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Sichuan-Han Railway was held in Chengdu, and the struggle became increasingly fierce, gradually breaking through the shackles of the constitutionalists' "civilized struggle for the road". On August 24, Chengdu began a strike, which spread throughout Sichuan.

Seeing that the trouble was getting bigger and bigger, Rui Fang, the governor of Liangjiang, decisively took the 31st and 32nd battalions of the New Army into Sichuan to suppress it. It caused the emptiness of the troops of Liangguang and directly created external conditions for the Xinhai Uprising. First, the nationalization of the railways caused dissatisfaction with the Manchu government from all levels of society, coupled with the Chengdu bloody case concocted by Zhao Erfeng, and the people's resentment boiled to the extreme. The huge China has become a powder keg this time, and it only takes a little spark to detonate the anger of the Chinese people!

A shaking that changed the world was about to erupt!

Note: Chengdu Bloody Case:

On the morning of September 7, 1911, Zhao Erfeng falsely claimed that there was good news from Beijing, and deceived Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun, Deng Xiaoke, Zhang Lan, Yan Kai, Hu Rong, Jiang Sancheng, Ye Bingcheng, Wang Mingxin, and other leaders of the Sichuan Baolu Comrades Association, the Sichuan Provincial Consultative Bureau, and the Sichuan-Han Railway Company into reading telegrams at the Governor's Office.

The news of the arrest of Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and others spread quickly, and the neighborhoods reported that each shop was sitting in a house, regardless of the old and the young, male and female, each with one person, some of them had a note on the Guangxu Divine Throne, and some of them held a stick of incense in their hands, and poured into the Governor's Office to petition like a tide, and some people also knelt on the ground and kowtowed and cried, demanding the release of Pu, Luo and others. In the face of the unarmed petitioners, Zhao Erfeng had already issued an order to "crowd the upper courtyard and shoot to kill". On the one hand, he instructed the Police Office to raise Lu Guangzhong to set fire to the house in Liansheng Lane, near the Governor's Office, with the intention of creating a false pretext to frame the masses for rioting; One ordered the guards to shoot at the crowd, killing 32 people on the spot and wounding countless others. Zhao Erfeng also sent patrol troops to sub-station at the corners of each street and shot at pedestrians and students.

The next day, when the rain was pouring down, the residents outside the city learned of the murder in the city, and everyone wrapped their heads in white cloth and rushed to the city in the rain to express their condolences and petitions. Zhao Erfeng also ordered the officers and soldiers to open fire, killing dozens of people. For the people who were shot dead inside and outside the Supervision Office, Zhao Erfeng actually ordered that the bodies should not be collected for three days.
