In this way, the gunfire in Wuchang evolved from Xiong Bingkun's riot to a real revolution! They finally had someone who could organize them, and Wu Zhaolin finally found a stage where he could show his military command skills.

Wu Zhaolin told these people not to attack the governor's palace again, not to attack the munitions depot again, and not to try to storm the city gates. They need guns, they need victory, they need a way out, but now is not the time to fight for that.

There are so many people, Ruicheng is already heavily guarded, and there is no hope for death wherever he attacks. The only chance of success lies in those who are still wavering! Wu Zhaolin asked these people to go to the barracks, to the barracks of the soldiers of the New Army who were still watching. Tell those soldiers who are now in a state of panic and still hesitate to either come out and make a revolution together, or else they will be killed!

I don't know how many people can come out, but one can come one, this is the strategy of snowballing, when the snowball is big enough, there is a liliang that destroys everything.

At the same time, he is stronger than Xiong Bingkun in that Xiong Bingkun doesn't know that he can't do it, so he dares to call for revolution alone. But Wu Zhaolin knew that he would not be able to get rid of the Manchu Qing Dynasty by himself, and if he went to the generals who were watching, he said, "Come out with me, Wu Zhaolin, and I will lead you to revolution." ”

Those generals won't pay attention to him at all, you Wu Zhaolin is usually a good person, but overthrow the Manchu Qing? You don't seem to have enough qualifications. Only by finding a person with prestige and reputation can we make everything possible from the impossible!

Who to look for? There are not many people with prestige and ability, and most of these people are hard stubble and can't afford to mess with them. But there is also a soft persimmon that he can provoke, and that is his mentor, Li Yuanhong.

Li Yuanhong will definitely not do it, Wu Zhaolin has a way. Looking for soft persimmons, it is ready to be pinched. This has come to this. I am already seeking life in death, don't say anything despicable, don't say anything unreasonable, it's a matter of life and death, and the teacher didn't discuss!

When he found Li Yuanhong, the mud bodhisattva was preparing to escape from this place of right and wrong with a few aunts and wives.

Faced with the retention of more than a dozen revolutionary soldiers led by Wu Zhaolin, the mud bodhisattva refused without hesitation: "No! You're going to do it, don't pull me up. Get out of the way, get me out of town! ”

Wu Zhaolin didn't get out of the way, he knelt down: "Things have come to this point, and the students have no way out." If you don't help me, you just watch me die! Teacher, after so many years, I have been divided,"

He stood up again, took out his pistol, opened the safety and held Li Yuanhong's head: "You think clearly!" ”

Li Yuanhong saw that Wu Zhaolin actually aimed his hand at his head, and immediately knew that his proud protégé was already crazy. He was even more sure that if he said a word, Wu Zhaolin would not hesitate to pull the trigger!

Li Yuanhong knew that after he shouted out the revolution, whether it was the Manchu Qing or Yuan Shikai. will not let go of themselves. He has no choice, and there is only one way to live, and that is to really change the life of the Manchus!

With the so-called revolutionary army around Wu Zhaolin who didn't even have bullets, can they handle things well? Li Yuanhong said yes. There is only one reason, he is Li Yuanhong.

Facts have proved that Lord Zhang Zhidong's vision is very unique, and he tried to let Li Yuanhong preside over the military of Wuchang when everyone was against it. It is because Master Zhang knows that Li Yuanhong, the mud bodhisattva, can turn the tide and turn decay into magic!

10:35 p.m. Li Yuanhong telegraphed the whole country under the muzzle of his protégé Wu Zhaolin, announcing the Wuchang Revolution.

This really surprised the generals of the new army, and they immediately made their choice. The mud bodhisattvas are all revolutionary, and when the mud bodhisattvas dare to stand in line, they feel that they have no reason to hesitate anymore.

Moreover, the mud bodhisattva is usually low-key and kind, and he is also quite polite to these generals. These people can ignore Cao Kun and Ruicheng's soft and hard work, but when the mud bodhisattva finds them, whether it is for the future or for friendship, those wavering generals feel that they should stand up and at least support their own performance.

At 11:10 a.m., most of the officers who were still watching from the three towns of Wuhan sent people to get in touch with Li Yuanhong, and they responded to the revolution! Ignoring Ruicheng's repeated warnings, the guards of the munitions depot also laid down their weapons and opened the door for those revolutionary soldiers, and the brothers of the Wuchang artillery battalion also pulled out the cannons and told everyone that they were on Li Yuanhong's side!

When this victory-deciding Liliang began the revolution, the scales had already tilted severely, Ruicheng had no chance to come out of the Governor's Palace, and Cao San could not return to Wuchang.

At two o'clock in the morning, Wu Zhaolin with three cannons and more than 2,000 heavily armed revolutionary soldiers conquered the governor's palace, which was garrisoned by only 200 Qing troops, captured Zhang Biao alive, killed the stubborn Ruicheng, and at 2:30 in the morning, the Wuchang uprising was declared victorious.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of the 28th, the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the three towns of Wuhan was torn down, and Li Yuanhong sent a telegram to the whole country to declare the independence of Wuhan and invited Huang Xing, Sun Wen, and other revolutionaries to come to Wuhan to discuss the country's great plan. Then, Guangdong responded, Sichuan responded, Guangxi responded, and Anhui responded...... Half of the country immediately changed colors at a rapid pace.

"At eight o'clock this morning, Chen Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, drove out the officials of the imperial court and declared the independence of Jiangsu. Jiangsu's new army also changed its banner, and they declared that they would support the fight of the Wuchang revolutionary party and would soon leave for Wuchang. ”

Beijing's Yuan Shikai was stunned! Duan Qirui's face was very ugly when he reported the latest situation, and Lao Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, was even more panting. He really didn't know that things would turn out like this, didn't Cao Kun say that things in the south were nine out of ten? Didn't he say that the mud bodhisattva wouldn't make tricks on himself?

Originally, Lao Yuan also deployed troops in the south, but the situation in Jinzhou was very tense in the past few days, and Cao Kun said that he would not have a problem there, so Lao Yuan shifted all the military focus to Jinzhou, and most of the troops had gone north, which directly led to the emptiness of the southern military Liliang, otherwise things would not have come to this point.

"How's Wuchang?"

Lao Yuan barely had any expression on his face when he asked this, Duan Qirui's expression hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "That one named Wu Zhaolin is really a talent. Our troops fought for two days and failed to cross the river. The rebel parties in the provinces are supporting Wuchang, where there are more and more rebel troops, and I heard that now Huang Xing has arrived to preside over specific military affairs. Sun Wen is also on his way back by boat from a foreign country. ”

Lao Yuan's eyes were closed, and Cao Kun's grasp of the situation was obviously not as unique as his vision of seeing people. He really saw it very accurately, and Cao Kun told Lao Yuan a long time ago that he found a person from Wu Zhaolin in Wuchang who could be a general. At that time, Lao Yuan didn't pay much attention to it, but now he knows.

Lao Yuan mobilized 5,000 troops near Wuhan the next day to exterminate the revolution, if it wasn't for Wu Zhaolin, if he could successfully march into Wuchang City, then the flames of Wuchang would be extinguished immediately. It was because Wu Zhaolin blocked his steps. The fire became more and more vigorous, and the revolution became more and more ferocious.

Old Yuan didn't want to say anything about Cao Kun now, and when he heard that this kid was fleeing back to Beijing, Yuan Shikai was not interested in knowing where he was at all.

"What about Feng Guozhang? Where did his troops go? ”

Duan Qirui's head was lowered. From the beginning of Cao Kun's trip to Wuchang, Feng Guozhang's troops went to press the third master. But just five days ago, they thought that there would be no more accidents in the south, so they let Feng Guozhang's troops go north, and something happened just after they set off.

"After receiving your order, the paparazzi's troops immediately turned around and went back. But it has not yet reached Wuchang, and the paparazzi have already accelerated their march, and it will take tomorrow night to enter the battle at the earliest. ”

Lao Yuan's beard trembled, and he violently tapped the map on the table with his hand knuckles: "Tomorrow night? Look at the color of this half of the country! Huang Xing has already arrived in Wuchang. Tomorrow afternoon, the revolutionary party in Sichuan will be able to take the train to Wuchang to participate in the battle, and then it will be even more difficult to fight! ”

Duan Qirui didn't know what to say. It happened so suddenly, the military aid from the Americans had not yet arrived, and the British loans had not been used. The Beiyang Army has not yet had a chance to show its advantages!

None of this was a problem. If the Beiyang Army presses the army, those revolutionary parties will not be able to stop it, and the problem is that they dare not press the army over! The flames of revolution in the south are burning brighter and stronger. But no matter how fierce the gunshots were, Lao Yuan didn't dare to relax in the slightest in Jinzhou. Because, the revolutionary party can't defeat the Beiyang Army, and the volunteers are the jackals who can devour themselves!

Beiyang does not have the ability to fight on two fronts, and Lao Yuan knows that he must make a trade-off. Is it the South, or is it the North? You have to be quick, if you still want to kill Yang Dagui, you must pacify the revolutionary army in the south before Sun Wen returns, which is very difficult.

If you want to pacify the south first, you must appease Yang Dagui in the near future! It seems even more unlikely. There were also revolutionary parties among the volunteers, such as Chen Tianhua and Zou Rong, who had been advocating and propagating revolution. And Yang Xiaolin himself is the head of the Northeast of the Alliance! After the guns of the revolution rang out in Wuchang, he sent troops to respond as if there was no need for any reason.

This is the case, a table of banquets was originally prepared, and the guests who came down to two tables really made Yuan Shikai a little confused. His eyes were full of anxiety and anger, and after staring at the map for a long time, he did not decide whether to mobilize heavy troops to the south or continue to stay in Jinzhou.

Lao Yuan asked something that made Duan Qirui very stunned: "What is that person's name?" ”

Duan Qirui was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Xiong Bingkun used to be a small squad leader. ”

Yuan Shikai's eyes showed a strong murderous intention: "Tell the paparazzi to catch this guy after defeating Wuchang and send him to Beijing Lao Tzu killed him with his own hands!" ”

Lao Yuan is a big man, and he hasn't fought with a small squad leader for a long time. Even in the Beiyang Army, Lao Yuan, a person of the rank of a small squad leader, is generally not seen. The reason why Xiong Bingkun can have this honor is that he really made Lao Yuan Fangcun mess up this time.

The door was pushed open at once, and Mr. Li broke in without even knocking on the door, and hurriedly walked to Yuan Shikai's side: "Governor, two telegrams, one by Sun Wenfa, he advocated that all people in China work hard to overthrow the Manchu Qing, and said that he would follow the American model to build a democratic federal China, and specifically proposed that you should take action." The other was sent by Li Yuanhong, who expressed his willingness to welcome Sun Wen back as the president of the Republic of China. ”

Lao Yuan didn't look at Li Yuanhong's telegram, but he watched Sun Wen's telegram several times. After making sure that every word had not fallen, Yuan Shikai crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it in the corner: "Even this cannon with only one mouth dares to force Lao Tzu!" Is Lao Tzu also a mud bodhisattva? ”

Mr. Li said beside him: "Yuan Gong, now that the revolution in the south is getting stronger and stronger, if there is no action, the north may not be stable for too long." You see, is it possible to take out the Manchus? This will allow us to be politically proactive. ”

Yuan Shikai snorted coldly: "Just them? If I had left my hands free, I would have wiped them all out in two months! And don't forget that there's another beast in the north! Has there been any movement in the past two days? ”

Duan Qirui shook his head: "No." After the gunshots rang out in Wuchang, Yang Dagui was much more honest, not only did he not make any new moves, but the volunteers in Jinzhou were also obviously restrained, and the small-scale friction did not occur again. ”

Yuan Shikai didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, and the calmer Yang Xiaolin was, the more scared he became. Because he didn't believe that Sun Wen would not contact the Northeast, let alone that Yang Dagui would sit back and watch him calm down the South before beating him.

This opportunity is too good for Yang to fight ghosts, if he is him, he will definitely not give up! (To be continued......)
