Chapter 67: Wuchang First Uprising

Dad's knowledge is indeed extraordinary, especially his grasp of the psychology of people in this era. It seems that you should really learn from Dad, otherwise how will you fight with those people who have become elites in the future!

"Dad, how do you think the child should deal with it?"

"What else can you do? Wait for the opportunity. Yuan Xiangcheng cherishes his reputation and dare not act. You are not strong enough, so you can only endure it. But Lao Yuan is a hero. You must keep an eye on him when dealing with him. Don't

It's good to let him plot against you, your moral conduct is too low!" The old man seemed to be in a good mood, and took the initiative to chat with Qiao Yu about the abilities and conduct of the big shots in the dynasty. Qiao Yu's historical knowledge in his previous life was more point-by-point.

, but in fact, various bureaucrats have formed a big network, and one move can affect the whole body. Listening to his father pick it up at will, Qiao Yu has a deeper understanding of the officialdom.

Time flies, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is over in a blink of an eye. The people of Dongchuan are living quite comfortably during this Mid-Autumn Festival. Although there is still a lot of artillery fire in Xichuan, prices have dropped because many privately established tax cards have been abolished.

The price of selling local products can also be raised a lot, so ordinary people who are better off can get some meat, can see a bit of meat in the dishes, and even those who are poor can have a dry meal.

However, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qiao Yu's heart was no longer calm. According to the historical process, Wuchang's first uprising will be in these few days. China's new era is coming. Whether it is Jackie Chan or an adult will be decided today. Qiao Yu

During the anxious waiting, Wuchang city was also extremely nervous. The revolutionaries originally planned to officially launch an uprising on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is October 6th in the Gregorian calendar. Little did they know that their frequent activities alarmed the Manchus and they were prepared in advance.

The city was under martial law and the bullets in the hands of the New Army were confiscated, which forced the uprising to be postponed. However, three days later, Sun Wu, one of the leaders of the Revolutionary Party, was drunk while making a bomb in the concession. He accidentally detonated the bomb, which immediately attracted

Russian patrols forced the Revolutionary Party to decide to revolt on the night of the 9th, but they postponed it again because the four doors were closed and no contact could be made.

In fact, there was a lot of luck in the Wuchang Shou Uprising. The Qing government was also too incompetent and had already destroyed the leadership of the uprising. All the main leaders fled to death. It stands to reason that this revolution will eventually fail like the previous revolutions. However,

Things took a turn for the better on the night of the 10th. Soldiers Jin Zhaolong and Xiong Bingkun of the Eighth Battalion of the New Army Engineering Battalion fired the first shot of the uprising. Then the New Army occupied the Chuwangtai Armory and obtained a large number of firearms and dozens of cannons.

There are also countless bullets and cannonballs.

With sufficient arms support, the New Army soldiers who had long been committed to revolution quickly rushed to various important places in Wuchang City. After a night of fierce fighting, the entire Wuchang was liberated, and then they occupied Hankou and Hanyang, and the three towns of Wuhan were completely destroyed.

The revolution fell into the hands of the Revolutionary Party, and a military government was established. At the same time, Li Yuanhong was promoted to the governorship.

Wuchang’s first righteousness! The world is shocked!!

The three towns of Wuhan are located in the heart of the Central Plains, with developed industry and agriculture, and prosperous humanities. Their location is very important. It is far from being comparable to Sichuan, which is located in the southwest. On the day when the Shou Uprising broke out in Wuchang, the Qing court received a telegram, and immediately

It was as if a bomb had been dropped in Forty-Nine City, and Beijing was suddenly in an uproar.

Regent Zaifeng, Prince Qing Yikuang, Xu Shichang, Na Tong, Shi Xu, Liang Bi, and other Manchu and Han dignitaries gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. At this moment, the majestic Forbidden City has lost its former glory. It is gloomy and heavy.

A stone was weighing on everyone's heart. Queen Mother Longyu was sitting on the dragon chair with the little emperor Puyi, who was only six or seven years old, long gone. Her eyes were like peaches and were already swollen from crying.

Now, all the ministers in the palace are also mourning for their heirs. Only the little emperor Puyi seems to know nothing and looks at everyone in his highness curiously...

"All ministers and ministers are the pillars of the Qing Dynasty. The safety of the Ai family and His Majesty depends on you. I hope that you can appreciate the kindness of the court and stand up in times of crisis to relieve the country's worries and help the country and the Ai family.

On behalf of the Emperor, thank you all!"

While speaking, Empress Dowager Longyu burst into tears, and the ministers present felt uncomfortable and a little sad. At this time, a young official stood up!

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Our Qing Dynasty is an iron-clad country. It cannot be shaken by a few rogue parties. I have no talents. I am willing to personally send a team of troops to Wuhan to put down the rebellion. It only takes two days to go south from Sichuan-Han Road.

We can go to Wuhan. I don’t think those rebellious parties can even stabilize the situation, and there are many courtiers loyal to the Qing Dynasty in Wuhan. They will definitely be able to successfully counterattack in one fell swoop!" The speaker was Liang Bi, a leader among the younger generation of Manchu nobles.

, Liangbi was an upright official, different from those Eight Banners disciples who only knew how to have fun, and was regarded as the leader of the new generation of nobles.

As soon as he stood up and spoke, Longyu immediately felt emboldened. If this was true, the Qing Dynasty could still be saved! The regent Zaifeng on the side also nodded frequently. Among the people present, there was probably no one who cared more about the Wuchang Uprising than him. Long

The person sitting on the chair is his son. He is now the de facto emperor, and preserving his son's empire is the most important thing.

"Liang Bi, are you sure? How many troops are needed?"

"Returning to the regent, I think a town of elite men and horses is enough, and we can definitely put down the rebels!"

Zaifeng's face was full of praise. It seemed that he was the one who truly cared for him. He was about to say a few words of encouragement when Prince Qing Yikuang spoke up.

"Prince Regent, this Wuchang rebellion is different from the past. The thieves are like fire, and Sichuan is also in turmoil at this time. If the two provinces are connected together, it will be more difficult to put down. Therefore, one must have outstanding ability."

In my opinion, only Yuan Shikai in the world has this ability, the rest are just shouting nice things, and sending them out is just a bad thing!"

Old Yikuang has a distinguished status and has a close friendship with Yuan Shikai. In addition, Yikuang also looks down on Liangbi and these young Eight Banners disciples who shout fiercely. They are all talkative and weak in their work. They treat the affairs of the general state as child's play.

Are there any elite troops in the Qing Dynasty now? It's nothing more than the New Beiyang Army.

The Yongping Autumn Exercises are being held now, and all the elite soldiers have gathered in Zhili. But when news of the uprising comes, the first thing to watch out for is the chaos in the army, and the use of troops is different from the Autumn Exercises. Those proud soldiers and generals in Beiyang are nothing like you.

Can the doll be commanded?

Although Yikuang's words were not polite, both Zaifeng and Longyu listened and kept thinking in their hearts. Liangbi's words were obviously too reckless. However, in order to activate Yuan Shikai, they would not be able to pass Zaifeng's test first.

Three years ago, Cixi and Guangxu died successively, Puyi came to the throne, and Zaifeng was reborn as regent, with overwhelming power over the world.

The first person Zaifeng burned was Yuan Shikai, who drove old Yuan out of Beijing. There was even news that Zaifeng wanted to kill old Yuan. This shows Zaifeng's hatred for Yuan Shikai. Some people say that Yuan Shikai betrayed Emperor Guangxu.

This led Zaifeng to take revenge on Yuan Shikai. In fact, this incident may not be the real situation, and there are many disputes.

In the final analysis, the most important reason why Zaifeng attacked Yuan Shikai was the political power. Yuan Shikai was the standard-bearer of Wanqing's reforms. In addition to training the new army, he also established the police system, implemented local elections, established new education, actively promoted constitutionalism, and achieved political achievements.

Outstanding, he has a very high prestige among the important officials of the imperial court and even in the hearts of the people all over the world.

Zaifeng attacked him just to get the power back into the hands of the Manchu dignitaries. Now that he wants to use Yuan Shikai, is Zaifeng willing? When he was silent, Xu Shichang stood up.

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Prince Regent, I have a few words to say. In my opinion, the situation has not reached that serious level in Chengdu. Indeed, as Dutong Liangbi said, the situation in Chengdu has not yet reached that serious level. I think the Minister of War will

Yinchang takes command and leads the Beiyang New Army to wipe out the rebellious parties in one fell swoop and stabilize the country!"
