This incident also caused a shock at the top of the foreign state, although it was only a small fleet that was annihilated in China's inland waters, but his significance was very significant.

Especially for a country with relatively short legs like the United Kingdom, once the navy is crippled by the other side, then it can only watch the other side stare dryly.

At this time, King Edward VII of the United Kingdom and British Prime Minister Asquith stared widely, and in the United Kingdom, where the weather suddenly turned cold, both of them couldn't help but have a feeling similar to helplessness.

It seemed that the night light of the thick fog outside the window seemed to seep through the thick castle walls, making them feel that something was wrong.

Asquith ** the ornate badges on the armchair, even they have become a little dull with the passage of time.

As early as the nineties of the last century, as the industrial output of the United States surpassed that of the United Kingdom, there were endless calls for the decline of the British Empire.

However, the British Empire has 40 million square kilometers of land, an invincible navy all over the world, stuck in every important trade node in the world, controls the world's currency and finance, provokes contradictions among the world's regional powers, and supports the small to control the big.

All this made the throne of the British Empire sit very securely, and the crown will not be seen crumbling for at least a decade.

But Edward VII knew that he was cautious every day, walking on thin ice, for fear that the British position as the world hegemon would be lost in his hands.

But......

Today's incident made him feel terrifying, and he felt that the British Empire's control in the Far East was a little unstable.

Asquith looked at him faintly: "Your Majesty, what do you think we should do about this nascent regime?" ”

Edward VII drew his saber, as if to express his tough attitude, but his white beard shook twice, and he suddenly laughed: "We in Great Britain rarely directly crush people with force, if you can't beat it, you can try to be friends, but not now." For a Qing country, the local secession regime is so weak, what do France, Germany and Russia think, and even Japan in the Far East? It must be suppressed by means. ”

Asquith looked at the king, as the prime minister of the exchequer, he was very good at making money, but when it came to the military, he was not so good at it.

He thought for a moment and said, "We can initiate a total embargo on this nascent regime. ”

"The embargo is to be done, but I'm afraid it's useless." Edward VII shook his head slowly.

"Yes, the United States and Germany want us to impose an embargo so that they can occupy the markets that we have voluntarily abandoned." Asquith said sarcastically.

"On the one hand, we will increase our support for the Qing government, and on the other hand, we will see if Japan has any intention of interfering, I am afraid that they are even more anxious than us. If things don't work out, we can support other revolutionary forces and make them fight each other and have to rely on us. ”

Asquith nodded: "That's right, we also have to convene a meeting to try to launch an embargo across the Western countries." ”

……

At this time, Wuchang was a little quiet, which made the Beiyang big-headed soldiers who had just come off the stuffy tanker a little confused.

At this time, it was early summer, and the old Wuhan had already shown the power of the three major furnaces of the Yangtze River, and the scorching sun hung high, which made the soldiers who went south sweat profusely without standing for a while.

After a while, a few people appeared on the opposite side, and the one who pushed the front was an embarrassed Qing Dynasty official.

"Zhao Erxun! Lord Zhao, how is he! ”

"Don't come, don't come!" Zhao Erxun shook his head desperately.

But to those from afar, he looked like he was just insane.

Who knew that the KPA was so fast? He had just heard that the bandits had repelled the British and Japanese warships, and in the next step, the cannon at the head of Wuchang City rang out.

And the telegraph has long been controlled.

Before the equipment of the Beiyang Army was completely unloaded, the sound of doomsday cannons sounded from all directions, followed by the dust in the sky and the heavy smell of blood in the dust.

They had not yet seen the People's Army in Wuchang when they were attacked head-on.

It's a chaotic battle, and it's also a hearty victory.

In the chaos, the Beiyang Army struggled to put on a posture and fired indiscriminately.

And then it was: "Commander Yuan was blown up!" ”

The cry spread like a plague, but no one organized. Then it's just a desperate run north.

Go back to Henan, Shandong to live a comfortable life with my wife and children on the hot kang, whoever wants to fight with the people's army like those crazy people, whoever goes, anyway, I'm going home, hey!

In this battle, the main force of the Beiyang Army was annihilated and tens of thousands of people were captured, which is equivalent to saying that after this battle, the Qing government no longer has the ability to fight with the People's Army.

The new-style army is just like this, and when the battle is over, is it possible to shoot at the People's Army with bows, arrows and shotguns?

The war cleared the prospect of the revolution and suddenly became bright.

At this time, Sun Yat-sen had not yet returned to China to launch an uprising.

Guangdong announced the change of banner and established the Guangdong Provincial Revolutionary Government.

Zhejiang announced the change of banner and the establishment of the Zhejiang Provincial Revolutionary Government.

Jiangsu Province announced the change of banner and established the Jiangsu Provincial Revolutionary Government

Guangxi Province......

Yunnan Province......

Fujian Province......

……

For a time, the whole South changed its flag.

Even the northern Chinese province of Shanxi Province announced that it had changed its flag and seceded from the Qing government.

However, everyone's attitude towards Dayong is very strange, and they did not announce the establishment of a provisional government with Dayong, but maintained a very ambiguous attitude.

After all, old China, which was dominated by the landlord class, would never surrender to a regime that equalized land.

But Dayong's military power is so strong that no one dares to beat it.

At this time, the Huguang Governor's Mansion and the high-level officials of the Dayong regime gathered together, discussing the future direction and policies.

There is no doubt that everyone's faces are very happy, and now, it can be said that the fall of the Qing government is a sure thing, but how to deal with some situations in the future is worth considering.

All this is developing much faster than Wang Yong imagined, and he is also ready to slowly eat a few provinces, train cadres, develop industrial technology, and then slowly march into the army, and use seven or eight years to control the whole country, but now this speed is too fast.

But it's also normal, the Qing government's modern army is just like that, and it's gone after the fight, and the others are just local chickens and dogs.

Xu Xilin stood up excitedly and said: "Now is a great time for our People's Army, we should immediately lead the army eastward to liberate Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces." ”

Zhang Taiyan shook his head and said, "Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have already declared an uprising at this time, have you forgotten?" ”

Wang Yong said: "There can only be one political power in China in the future, and that is the political power of our Dayong, and the future China must be controlled by one political party for a long time, that is, our People's Party." ”

"There can only be one leader in China in the future, and that is Wang Yong." Ginny continued.

"One nation, one nation, one leader!" Zhang Zhen said sonorously: "All local governments that do not accept the leadership of our People's Party are rebel regimes, and the policies of the People's Party must be consistently implemented!" ”
