Chapter 562: The Great and Young Controversy

When Huo Quzhi heard the word "alien", he finally understood what the problem was, and some players changed the local plot, which led to the normal operation of the uprising headquarters. His face suddenly became gloomy, Hubei has always been his territory, and there are players who are so ignorant of raising and intervening in his good deeds, this feud is over.

Although he couldn't fire the first shot of the Wuchang Uprising, Huo Qubing couldn't do nothing, and he soon followed Wu Zhaolin to Chuwangtai. Wu Zhaolin entered the headquarters with Huo Quai, but was stopped by the guards at the door and said: "The commander-in-chief and the chief of staff are formulating a battle plan, and idle people are not allowed to enter." ”

Wu Zhaolin said angrily: "Could it be that I am also an idle person, do you want me to leave with the eighth battalion of the project?" ”

The guard hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Wu, of course you can go in, but this stranger is very raw, or he is waiting for you outside, right?" ”

Wu Zhaolin had already recognized Huo Quai's illness as the main thing, of course he didn't dare to leave Huo Quai's illness outside, he said loudly: "Brother Bokui, since everyone doesn't welcome me to participate in the uprising, then I'll take my brothers and leave first." ”

Jiang Yiwu, who was making a battle plan in the room, hurriedly greeted him and said: "Brother Wu, why do you say this, the uprising needs everyone's concerted efforts, and it needs Brother Wu's strong support. ”

Wu Zhaolin snorted coldly and said: "This is my good brother Huo Quai, before the uprising, he sponsored a thousand spears from the eighth battalion of the project, he is always qualified to enter, right?" ”

Jiang Yiwu's eyes lit up when he heard that he was a big benefactor, and he said enthusiastically: "Thank you Mr. Huo for your strong support for the revolution, we are formulating a battle plan, and I hope that Mr. Huo will give more suggestions." ”

Huo Qubing followed Jiang Yiwu into the headquarters after being humble, and he was stunned when he saw the player standing in front of the map. Jiang Yiwu pointed at the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Brother Wu, Mr. Huo, this is our Chief of General Staff Xuanyuan Sword. Yesterday, the Sun Wu brothers were injured while making explosives in Hankow. Thanks to Brother Xuanyuan for repelling the Russian patrol, otherwise I would not be able to stand here. ”

Huo Quzhi's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and after a long time, a few words popped out of his teeth and said, "Long Dashao has a good means." ”

Xuanyuan Jian smiled slightly and said: "Brother Huo has won the award, I definitely did not violate the rules to develop a base in Hubei, this time I just tried my luck because the Wuchang Uprising was about to break out, and I just did a task by chance." ”

Of course, Huo Quzhi didn't believe Xuanyuan Sword's nonsense. How could it be possible to hit his seven inches by chance, and his arrangement was in vain. However, he couldn't find the slightest fault with Xuanyuan Jian, there was a tacit understanding between the children of the family, and they generally did not develop a base on other people's territory, but he didn't say that he was not allowed to do tasks on other people's territory.

Jiang Yiwu and Wu Zhaolin couldn't understand the conversation between the two, Jiang Yiwu laughed loudly: "It turns out that the two alien brothers know each other, that's great, we have to unite even more for the victory of the uprising." ”

Huo Quzhi's face turned pale and he stopped talking, and Xuanyuan Jian stopped talking to him. Began to make a battle plan with Jiang Yiwu. Wu Zhaolin, the temporary commander-in-chief in history, has also become a soy sauce beater, and can only wait for orders from the commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff. Soon the combat order was issued, and Wu Zhaolin's 8th Engineering Battalion, as the vanguard, was responsible for attacking the Chuwangtai Ordnance Station.

When Wu Zhaolin was about to accept the order, Huo Quzhi said coldly: "Brother Wu, the eighth battalion of the engineering is not good at frontal charge, and it is only inappropriate to be the vanguard force!" ”

Wu Zhaolin has already taken refuge in Huo Quai, so naturally Huo Qu's illness is the first to look forward. He exclaimed, "That's right! The brothers are single-minded in the revolution, but there is absolutely no reason for the engineering battalion to act as the vanguard. ”

Wu Zhaolin's blatant refusal of the order made Jiang Yiwu's face a little ugly. Even he didn't have a good impression of Huo Quai, but he had to admit that Wu Zhaolin was reasonable. The engineering battalion is not the most combat-effective unit, and it is the proposition of Chief of Staff Xuanyuan Jian to let it be the vanguard unit, and Jiang Yiwu does not approve of it.

Xuanyuan Jian shook his head slightly, he really had no malice in letting the engineering battalion be the main force, he just wanted to ease the relationship with Huo Quai. Huo Qubing failed to fire the first shot of the Wuchang Uprising. But if he can lead the engineering battalion to take down the Chuwangtai Ordnance Station, he can also get some political capital.

It's a pity that Huo Qubing lost his cool in anger, and after learning that it was the eighth battalion of the engineering as the vanguard, he thought that Xuanyuan Sword wanted to consume the NPC troops he mastered, so he rejected Xuanyuan Sword's kindness.

After Xuanyuan Jian and Jiang Yiwu discussed. It was decided to send the gendarmerie battalion as the vanguard, and an hour later the Chuwangtai Ordnance Station was laid. At 9 o'clock in the evening, all the rebel troops assembled at Chuwangtai and attacked the governor's yamen and the eighth town headquarters in three ways.

Due to the well-established command system of the rebel army, they soon broke through the Qing defense line and began to set fire to the vicinity of the governor's yamen. Ruicheng, the governor of Huguang, broke the back wall of the supervision office and fled by boat from the Yangtze River, and Zhang Biao, the commander of the eighth town, still resisted stubbornly in the headquarters. After repeated attacks, the rebels finally captured the Governor's Office and the town headquarters before dawn. Zhang Biao withdrew from Wuchang, and the whole of Wuchang was under the control of the rebel army.

Huo Quzhi quickly regained his senses and understood that Xuanyuan Jian had good intentions to let the Eighth Battalion of Engineering serve as the vanguard, but he did not regret refusing. has been painstakingly arranged for a long time, but the biggest fruit has been picked by an old acquaintance, and anyone will not be happy in their hearts. When the rebel army began to attack the Governor's Yamen and the Eighth Town Headquarters, he asked Wu Zhaolin to leave with the 8th Engineer Battalion to prepare to attack Hankou and Hanyang first.

Huo Quai's choice was very correct, he had a huge advantage over Xuanyuan Sword, he had tens of thousands of troops in Hubei. The contribution to the defeat of Hankow and Hanyang was enormous, and the mastery of these two places would inevitably attract the attention of the revolutionaries, and the revolutionary party should be willing to pay the capital in order to win them over.

Hankou, Hanyang, which was originally to be recovered until late at night on the 11th and on the 12th, was completely recovered in the early morning of the 11th under the onslaught of Huo Quai's relentless onslaught. The revolutionaries spoke highly of Huo Quai's illness and warmly invited him to replace the sick Liu Gong as the premier of the headquarters, with a status equal to that of Xuanyuan Jian.

Huo Qubing finally moved back to the first bureau and happily went to the uprising headquarters to take up a post. With the restoration of Hankou and Hankow, the Wuchang Uprising achieved a great victory. Late at night on October 10, 1911, He Guanzhong, who was studying at the Baoding Military Advisory Academy, learned of the uprising for the first time, and immediately organized Li Jishen and other classmates in the same dormitory to sneak out of the school and blow up the Caohe Iron Bridge, the only major artery for the Qing army to go south.

The Caohe Iron Bridge was bombed, and the Qing army's trip to the south to suppress the uprising movement was delayed, which greatly supported the next military operations of the Wuchang rebel army in Hubei. The greater significance lies in the fact that this bought ample time for the revolutionaries to act on a nationwide scale and consolidated the revolutionary fruits of the Wuchang Uprising.

The bridge bombing operation was presided over by He Guanzhong, and there were historical celebrities such as Li Jishen involved, and several students became famous all over the world because of it. After the Wuchang Uprising, He Guanzhong said shyly in an interview with reporters: "The student army blew up the bridge because of the guidance of President Chen, and the biggest contributor is him, President Chen has always supported the revolution, but many people have misunderstood him." ”

Principal Chen, of course, was Chen Baxian, who was the governor of the Guangxi Military Government at the time, and in history, blowing up the Caohe Bridge was a spontaneous act of the student army, and Lord Chen shamelessly stole the credit. He Guanzhong was the sixth brother of He Ziyuan, the elder of the League, and joined the League under the recommendation of He Ziyuan, and He Ziyuan was rescued to Guizhou with Xu Xueqiu after participating in the failed Huanggang Uprising in Chaozhou in 1907.

Xu Xueqiu served as a teacher commander in Guizhou, and He Ziyuan had a good cultural attribute, and he was Chen Hao's candidate for Minister of Education. He has always been in contact with He Ziyuan, and although he has not been able to make He Ziyuan loyal, the two have a good personal relationship. He Ziyuan did not accept his employment, mainly because he was still a court official and did not publicly announce the uprising, and I believe that when he announced the establishment of the Han Guangxi Military Government, He Ziyuan, Xu Xueqiu and others would gladly accept his employment.

With He Ziyuan's relationship, coupled with the fact that Chen Hao once served as the principal of Baoding Military Academy, it is not surprising that he exchanged letters with He Guanzhong. Before the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, Chen Hao pretended to analyze the situation in his letter, believing that an uprising might soon break out in the south. It was suggested that if He Guanzhong learned the news of the uprising in the south, he could organize enthusiastic young people to blow up the Caohe Bridge and make a contribution to the revolution.

Lord Chen's Wuchang uprising did not work as hard as Xuanyuan Jian and Huo Quai, but he easily took the credit for blowing up the Caohe Bridge, and also laid Li Yuanhong as a chess piece. After the rebel army recovered the three towns of Wuhan, it established the Hubei Military Government and carried out democratic elections, and the most popular result was Li Yuanhong, the commander of the 21st Association, who did not contribute to the revolution.

Xuanyuan Jian in the headquarters of the rebel army resolutely opposed Li Yuanhong as the governor, and Huo Qubing held the opposite opinion with him, believing that Li Yuanhong had the highest prestige in the new army, and it was reasonable for him to serve as the governor.

It is not surprising that the two have diametrically opposed attitudes, Xuanyuan Jian is the chief of staff of the uprising command, and almost all the battle plans are drawn up by him, and he also personally went to the gendarmerie battalion to fire the first shot of the uprising. Xuanyuan Jian's performance even surpassed that of the commander-in-chief Jiang Yiwu, and he also had the opportunity to compete for the governor of the Hubei military government, so it was not surprising that he opposed Li Yuanhong as the governor.

Huo Qu also had ambitions to be the governor before he was sick, but after being calculated by Xuanyuan Sword, his performance was covered by the light of Xuanyuan Sword. Jiang Yiwu admired Xuanyuan Sword a lot, and if Jiang Yiwu was elected as the governor, it would also be beneficial to Xuanyuan Sword. Huo Quzhi didn't have the slightest chance, he wished that Li Yuanhong would be the governor and muddy the water.

Before the uprising, Huo Qubing had visited Li Yuanhong, but Li Yuanhong was neither salty nor indifferent to him, and he did not have a good impression of him. Even if Li Yuanhong is elected as the governor in this way, it is better than Jiang Yiwu or Xuanyuan Jian, Huo Dashao opposed it very thoroughly, saying that if Li Yuanhong was not allowed to be the governor, he would resign from the post of prime minister of the headquarters.
