Chapter 148 From Wuchang to Sichuan (seeking a monthly pass)
The arrival of Jiang Baili gave Wang Hengyue, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese revolutionary military government, even more powerful!
And across the country, the era of vigorous revolution has finally arrived!
In order to put an end to the Sichuan Uprising, the Qing court sent Minister Duan Fang to lead part of the Hubei New Army into Sichuan to suppress the uprising. As a result, the Qing army's defensive power in Hubei weakened, and the revolutionaries decided to launch an uprising in Wuchang.
On September 14, 1911, the Literary Society and the Tongjin Association, with the promotion of the Tongmenghui, established a unified uprising leadership organization to unite against the Qing Dynasty. They also decided to invite Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren or Zen master Feng Lai to lead the uprising.
Take charge of the big plans.
On September 24, the two [revolutionary] groups held a joint meeting and decided to launch an uprising on October 6. Representatives of all Biaoying Party members participated and passed the "Personnel Draft" and "Uprising Plan..." The military commander was Jiang Yiwu,
The chief of staff is Sun Wu, and the general manager is Liu Gong.
On the same day, members of the Nanhu Artillery Corps rioted but failed. After the incident at the Artillery Corps, the Qing Hubei authorities ordered the seizure of ammunition from the New Army troops, and at the same time strengthened the military and police forces in the market, conducting strict inspections. The authorities convened a meeting of officials and decided that the army would celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance.
There is no holiday on the 15th day of the month.
On the 28th, Hunan Party member Jiao Dafeng wrote to the Wuchang Uprising Headquarters that Hunan was not fully prepared for the October 6 uprising, so please extend it for 10 days. In addition, important leaders of the Tongmenghui, such as Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, failed to arrive in Wuhan. The uprising
The headquarters decided to launch attacks in Hunan and Hubei provinces at the same time on October 16.
On October 9, Sun Wu and others accidentally caused an explosion while preparing a bomb in the Russian Concession in Hankou.
After hearing the news, the Russian patrol came and searched for the list of "revolutionary" party members, uprising proclamations, flags, etc., and secretly leaked the information. They also arrested six people including Liu and others, and then extradited them to the Hubei authorities. Ruicheng, the governor of Huguang, ordered the closure of the four cities and searched everywhere.
〖Revolutionary〗 Party members. In desperation, the 〖Revolutionary〗 Party decided to launch an uprising immediately at 12 o'clock in the evening on October 9th. However, the city of Wuchang was heavily guarded and the 〖Revolutionary〗 Party members in various camps could not get in touch. That night
The plan... failed. The "revolutionaries" in the New Army contacted themselves and agreed to launch an uprising on the evening of October 10 using the sound of gunshots as a signal.
On the evening of October 10, the revolutionaries of the Eighth Battalion of the New Army Project fired the first shot of the Wuchang Uprising and captured the Chuwangtai Ordnance Station near Zhonghe Gate. Wu Zhaolin was elected as the temporary commander-in-chief.
Tens of thousands of rifles, dozens of cannons, and tens of thousands of bullets were seized, laying the foundation for the victory of the uprising. At this time, the [revolutionary] members of the heavyweight team, artillery battalion, and engineering team stationed outside Wuchang also
Using the signal of raising a fire, the uprising was launched and gathered towards the Chu Watchtower. Cai Jimin of the 2nd Biao and Wu Xinghan of the 30th Biao in Wuchang City also led some insurrectionary soldiers to rush out of the camp gate and rushed to the Chu Watchtower: After that, the soldiers of the 2nd and 30th bidders in Wuchang City rushed to the Chu Watchtower.
The revolutionaries in the camp also led the crowd to revolt and rushed to Chu Wangtai.
There were more than 3,000 people in the uprising.
At 10:30 pm on October 10, the rebel army attacked the Governor's Office and the adjacent Eighth Town Headquarters in three groups. They also ordered the 8th Cannon that had entered the city to occupy the firing positions at Zhonghe Gate and Sheshan and launch an attack on the Governor's Office.
bombing.
At first, the rebel army did not have a strong command and lacked troops, so the attack was frustrated. After 12 o'clock in the evening, the rebel army launched another attack, broke through the enemy's defense line, and set fire near the governor's office. With the fire as a sign, Snake Mountain and Zhonghe
The artillery near the door fired into the light.
Ruicheng, the governor of Huguang, broke the back wall of the governor's office and escaped by boat on the Yangtze River. Zhang Biao, the commander of the eighth town, was still resisting at the headquarters. After repeated attacks, the rebel army finally occupied the governor's office and the town headquarters before dawn. Zhang Biao
Withdraw from Wuchang, and the entire Wuchang is under the control of the rebel army.
Late at night on October 10, He Guanzhong, the sixth brother of He Ziyuan, the main ally of the Jiaying Prefecture of the Tongmenhui who was studying at the Juntaofu Military Academy in Baoding, and his classmates Li Jishen and other students in the same dormitory immediately organized the military school students into action and immediately bombed nearby Baoding.
The Caohe Iron Bridge successfully prevented the Qing army from going south to suppress the revolution and bought the revolutionaries valuable preparation time.
The revolutionaries in Hanyang and Hankou took action upon hearing the news and liberated Hanyang and Hankou on October 12th and October 12th respectively. After the rebel army took control of the three towns in Wuhan, the Hubei Military Government was established, and Li Yuanhong was elected as the governor, and the country's title was changed.
for the Republic of China, and called on people in various provinces to revolt in response.
The Wuchang Uprising finally broke out, and the lifespan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was numbered!
Sichuan.
With the news that the Chinese army had won a great victory in Chengjiachang and that Duanfang's army had been completely destroyed, all the Sichuan rebels were greatly inspired!
In ten months, most of Sichuan's counties were captured by Comrade Baolu's army. The Qing army suffered defeats everywhere and was besieged on all sides. With the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, and the rapid development of the national revolutionary situation, Sichuan's armed struggle intensified and the Qing government was deposed.
Next, Sichuan Governor Zhao Erfeng has been cornered!
To be fair, the railways were nationalized and unreasonable compensation demands were rejected. In this regard, the [Central] Central Committee completely occupied the law and the right. However, local officials hoped to ease the conflicts with the participants of the road protection movement.
To promote nationalization as gently as possible and to take advantage of the situation to resolve the mass movement is to seize the situation and seize the momentum. The road-protecting movement eventually evolved into a bloody conflict. This was not only a conflict between revolution and reform, but also a conflict between revolution and reform.
It was not only a conflict between different interest groups, but also a conflict between the central and local governments, which especially highlighted the gap between the upper and lower levels of the Manchu regime.
If the order fails, the prohibition will be difficult to stop, and its foundation has long been eroded.
However, Zhao Erfeng did not expect that times had changed and the "revolutionary" movement had become the mainstream, and he himself truly fulfilled the saying "raising a tiger will lead to trouble".
Wang Hengyue was the one who was indirectly raised by himself and eventually became the biggest "tiger" in all of Sichuan!
In the end, Zhao Erfeng not only failed to maintain a stable social order, but now it is hard to say whether he can even save his own life.
After the "Chengdu Massacre", Zhao Erfeng found himself trapped in a huge black hole. On the one hand, he became the number one enemy of the road protection movement. On the other hand, leaders who had always accused him of being too weak, such as Duan
Fang waited, seeing that a situation of great turmoil had taken shape, and suddenly turned around and accused him of acting recklessly and exacerbating conflicts. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties sent Duan Fang one after another, and Cen Chunxuan and others came in to try to change generals on the spot. At this time, Zhao Erfeng immediately became
An abandoned child, standing in an embarrassing situation where he is not human inside or outside.
Driven intentionally or unintentionally by various political forces, the Road Protection Movement has evolved into an armed riot, and many states and counties in Sichuan have declared independence. At this time, a gunshot was fired at the top of Wuchang City. Hubei after the Revolution
, issued a threat in the name of the governor Li Yuanhong: If Sichuan does not respond to independence "they will be treated in the same way as the Manchus."
Dai Jitao, a native of Guanghan, Sichuan and the special commissioner of the Tongmenghui, has set out from Wuchang to command military operations during the Fourth Movement.
There are rebels outside who are getting stronger and stronger, and there are political enemies inside who are pressing them everywhere. Zhao Erfeng has reached a critical moment where he must make a decision.
Under this situation, Zhao Eryu could only release Pu Dianjun and others and hand over power in order to protect himself.
Zhao Erfeng finally decided to release the arrested leaders of the "road protection movement". At this time, these leaders also discovered that the "movement" was out of control. They loudly called for "rest and return to the countryside" but no one paid attention to them.
Although Zhao Erfeng handed over power to avoid disaster, from a military point of view, he still has a strong army and has the strength to continue fighting. The so-called "comrade army" is a ragtag group led by Brother Pao. If they can't fight, they will be defeated.
Nine out of nine are victorious."
The city defense army, which is completely loyal to Zhao Erfeng, has more than 20,000 troops and a military salary of more than 6 million yuan, which is enough to fight a protracted war. There are also more than 10,000 people and a large amount of heavy equipment in the new army. If he wants to continue the fight, no matter how hard he defends,
Whether it is the Lu faction or the Tongmenghui, it is simply difficult to compete with them.
Within the government, there were also some people who hoped to continue fighting and quell the "rebellion", but Zhao Erfeng chose to fight peacefully.
"The time has come for Zhao Erfeng to die." This was Wang Hengyue's first words after learning that Zhao Erfeng had handed over power.
"Zhao Erfeng has handed over power, is it okay to save his life?" The subordinates were a little confused.
Wang Hengyue sneered: "If he doesn't hand over power, he still has a chance to survive. Once he hands over power, he will definitely die in the hands of those [revolutionary] parties!"
"Hengji, telegram.
Once you put it on, your skull will blossom and your silk curtain will bloom!
Wang Hengyue took it, and the telegram contained Dai Jitao, in the name of the special commissioner of the Tongmenghui and the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan military, ordering Wang Hengyue's troops to immediately set off to the front line in Chengdu and await mobilization.
"What a fool, you actually commanded us?" All the subordinates were furious.
Wang Hengyue held the telegram in his hand and sneered again and again: "Okay, okay. Now everyone is a "revolutionary" and everyone is shouting "revolution". Since the Alliance wants to take command, I will let them take command.
.
Horse roars!”
"arrive!"
"Select two hundred men from the pistol battalion, go to a place fifty miles away from Chengdu, and stay still.
Ask those people in Chengdu for food, military pay, and weapons!"
"yes!"
"Wu Qianlong!"
"arrive!"
"You also lead two hundred people as the second team and stop ten miles away from Ma Xiao. You will also ask for food, military pay, and weapons!"
"yes!"
After Wang Hengyue finished giving these instructions, he turned his attention to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, what should we do next?"
"Hengshuai has made appropriate arrangements to make progress before retreating." Jiang Baili smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Since Chengdu has undergone major changes and the Seventeen Towns have too much to take care of themselves, we can take two steps, one step to deal with the situation around us with lightning speed.
patrol camp, and immediately seize Yibin again along the way!"
"Okay!" Wang Hengyue said loudly: "Deng Xia!"
"arrive!"
"Yibin was beaten by us last time, and the city's defenses are empty. You immediately lead the armed guards two by two to capture Yibin. At the same time, bring Yang Sen and Wang Zanxu back to me!"
"yes!"
Wang Hengyue looked around at his subordinates and said: "Everyone, our Rong County is the first to become independent in the country. The current situation is in chaos. All ministries must obey the command and are not allowed to move without permission. No matter whether it is the [revolutionary] party or anyone else, no one is allowed to touch any inch of the place here!"
