From the Red Mansion of the Consultative Bureau to the former Governor's Mansion, the most prosperous street in Wuchang is also a little depressed and deserted. Today, Wuchang, as the first place, is much more deserted than the revolutionary wave of Hankou.
The signature flag of Laifu Teahouse stretched out to the corner of the street, drifting cold in the wind, and there were a few guests sitting sparsely in the teahouse. In the corner by the window, there were two revolutionary soldiers in military uniforms. On the night of the uprising, Xiong Bingkun, who rushed to the front with Li Xiang, and Cai Jimin, the two meritorious ministers, looked extremely lonely at the corner of the teahouse at this moment.
"At the beginning, I should have crossed the river to Hankou with Marshal Li like Li Xiping. Although the revolutionary concept is different, killing the enemy on the battlefield is more pleasant than staying here. Xiong Bingkun was full of complaints, and he still kept a good word. Now he is not qualified to attend the military meeting held by the Consultative Bureau.
Since Ju Zheng, in the name of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, asked the revolutionaries to pass the Interim Regulations on the Military Government, the revolutionaries and the constitutionalists bargained, and Li Yuanhong officially came to power. The original text of the Society and the Communist Progressive Association were contradictory and mutually exclusive. As a result, the original uprising party members fell in power one after another. Jiang Yiwu, Zhan Dabei and other Hubei revolutionary leaders now have no right to speak in the Consultative Bureau.
"It's easy to bend. The Hankou Revolutionary Army has taken a too radical path. What will happen when Yuan Shikai fights back? I even saw the situation in Wuchang. Li thought that they had taken the wrong revolutionary path at all. Cai Jimin played with the fine porcelain blue and white teacup in his hand and said leisurely. He was also dissatisfied with the Wuchang Advisory Bureau, and his speech in the military government became more and more weightless. He simply did not attend this military meeting. However, this is not a matter of revolutionary belief, but just a contradiction within the party. He finally said, "I am a believer in the Chinese revolution. Almost all the students in Wuchang City went to Hankou. Do they think that only the Hankou revolutionary military government can be China?
Xiong Bingkun shook his head and said, "Whoever is a young man who does not want his youth can be linked to the revolution and the fate of the country. The more vigorous the fight between Hankou and the Qing army, the more it looks like Wuchang is depressed. In the eyes of young people, only vigorousness is revolution.
As Xiong Bingkun said at this moment, Hankou is full of revolutionary smoke. Anyone who is a young man is crazy about his atmosphere.
Xiong Bingkun said that Cai Jimin also knows it, and the members of the Consultative Bureau also know it. To this end, the military government of the Wuchang Advisory Bureau is preparing to direct a ceremony of sacrificing the Heavenly Oath to boost morale, gather the hearts of the people, and show that the Wuchang Revolutionary Military Government is the only orthodoxy of the Hubei revolution, and even the orthodoxy of the Chinese revolution.
Cai Jimin took out his pocket watch, opened the clock and said, "The military meeting of the Consultative Bureau is about to end, and the sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. Let's go."
Although Xiong Bingkun was a little upset, he still followed Cai Jimin out of the teahouse. Out of the door of the teahouse, you can see a peak protruding from the floor in the right direction, and a corner of the attic appears on the top of the green peak, which is the Yellow Crane Tower with the top of the famous name. They walked along the street to the direction of the Yellow Crane Tower of Snake Mountain. The ceremony of the Sacrifice was held at the foot of the Snake Mountain and the horse parade in front of the Red Mansion of the Military Government Advisory Bureau.
In the Red House Conference Room of the Advisory Bureau, Li Yuanhong presided over the military meeting of the revolutionaries. Li Yuanhong's fat face was red, and he could no longer see the decline when he was forced to take office by the Revolutionary Army soldiers. He is now delivering his first ** speech after taking office, "Today's revolutionary army uprising is the beginning of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, restoring the Han Dynasty, abolishing autocracy and establishing a republic. Most comrades in the party and the military and academic circles promote the brother as the governor. I have no virtue or learning. How can I take on this big task? But it's hard for everyone to say, and they should be ordered.
When it comes to "self-determined", Li Yuanhong also officially made a revolutionary determination today. In the past, it could only be regarded as passive cooperation at most. The revolutionary situation in Hubei is very good, which has enliven the minds of many conservatives, including him. At the beginning, Li wanted to lead the 6,000 revolutionary army to cross the river. In addition to the adaptation and expansion of recruitment in various places, the army has expanded at least ten times. And the Wuchang Revolutionary Army is still just a few thousand people. Li Yuanhong thought to himself that if he could not compare with Li Xiang, he would not be as good as the previous position of governor of Hubei and directly give up his seat to Li Xiang.
Li Yuanhong continued with great love in an instant: "As soldiers, we must hold the spirit of breaking the sinking boat from now on, sweep away all concerns, and resolutely work. Our Hubei army is on a business trip to garrison various troops. When we hear that the righteous flag flutters in Jianghan, we will immediately respond and come to the attachment. Most of the officers in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Yunnan-Guizhou and other provincial armies are from the Hubei Army. In the Beiyang Army, there are many officers led by Wu Luzhen.
More than 50 upper-level middle-level officers in the three eastern provinces have been promoted from the Hubei military, and the lower-level officers needless to say. These people are always revolutionary and must be able to respond to the revolution. Therefore, there is no doubt about the success of the revolutionary cause.
Li Yuanhong is arrogant, as if he is the leader of the revolutionary party. No, he is already the leader of the revolutionary party. Ju Zheng, who returned from Shanghai, as well as Liu Gong, Jiang Yiwu, Zhan Dabei and other Hubei revolutionary leaders listened respectfully to his speech. Tang Hualong, Huang Zhongyu and other constitutional gentry, as well as Wu Zhaolin and other officers in the army, were also respectful to him.
The military meeting of the Red Mansion ended with Li Yuanhong's speech. Everyone got up, and Li Yuanhong and other soldiers put on big brim hats. Although Li Yuanhong's figure is a little fat, the blue general dress tailored for him sets off his nobleness.
"The meeting is off!" Li Yuanhong's usual words can also show that he is not angry and in danger.
Li Yuanhong's power has become, and he can't help sighing in his heart. After the Zhang Jingliang incident, he even had soldiers guarded the hut.
Everyone went to the horse parade field in front of the Red Mansion, but Li Yuanhong wanted to go to the hut first. When mortals are extremely excited or nervous, adrenal hormones will soar crazily, causing people to urinate, serious and even incontinence. At this moment, Li Yuanhong was extremely excited, and his urine came naturally.
Li Yuanhong opened the lid of the toilet, took out the bird, and felt a thousand miles of pleasure. Even in an extremely pleasant moment, Li Yuanhong unconsciously looked back...
A revolutionary army soldier was looking at Li Yuanhong with a straight face, and a trace of disgust flashed on the young soldier's face. Why don't you pee? It was you who said you were in a hurry to pee. When you went to the toilet, you couldn't pee. Are you still thinking about rebeling against Zhang Jingliang and betraying the revolution? Take it to the toilet as an excuse to implement a urine shield?"
"Comrade, how can I pee when you stare at me like this?" Li Yuanhong said with a bitter face. He held it hard for a long time before he held out two drops of urine. Li Yuanhong urinated but couldn't pee, which was uncomfortable. Li Yuanhong thought that if the revolutionaries keep staring at him like this, his constipation will be solid.
Li Yuanhong looked back and took a closer look. There was nothing behind him, only the closed toilet door. Li Yuanhong breathed a long breath and felt the opening of the front sluice. The sound of a string of water in the toilet is as wonderful as the song of a narcissus girl. A few days ago, revolutionary soldiers followed the urine, which was called "fitting protection". It makes him have a shadow when he goes to the toilet, and he has never been so happy as he is today.
The Red Mansion Horse Farm has built a high altar, and there is a fire in front of the altar, which is too strong without wine. On the high altar, the ancestral Ancestor of China, Xuanyuan, was placed on the throne, and the incense was offered to the mysterious wine. The altar was covered with banners fluttering in the wind, and the flag was written with the words "Li, the governor of the Hubei Military Government". The bells and drums sounded in unison on the horse field, and the sound shook the world.
The people in a sea of people surrounded the horse-viewing field, and the snake mountain was also full of people. Many people in the suburbs who received letters climbed the snake mountain just to see the sacrificial ceremony of the revolutionaries. The Chinese people just like formal things. This sacrificial ceremony with a strong feudal situation attracted the people of the whole city of Wuchang to come and watch.
The ceremony directed by the Wuchang Red Mansion Military Government not only attracted the people of Wuchang to come to watch the ceremony, but also attracted many international friends. This is a variable that Li Yuanhong, Tang Hualong and others did not expect.
Ewende Danger, a famous reporter of the British newspaper Continental, came to interview in person, as well as Tom, the U.S. consul in Hankou, and Ge Fu, the British consul in Hankou, also came to watch the ceremony.
These foreigners have no choice. The relationship between Hankou and Huayang is like a gunpowder barrel. Although Ge Fu had urged Zhu Erdian to protect Yuan Shikai to go out of the mountain to clean up Li Xiang. However, the distant water can't save the near fire. Yuan Shikai can't reach the Hankou Concession for a while. They wanted to have a showdown with Li Xiang, but Li Xiang was not in Hankou, as if he was deliberately avoiding them.
Nowadays, the situation in Hankou is getting worse and worse, and the anxious foreign adults think of the Wuchang Revolutionary Military Government, which frequently shows goodwill to the consulates of the Hankou Concession. Consuls of various countries in Hankou pushed Ge Fu and Tom, and now go to Wuchang to explore the way. Let's see if there is room for easing the real attitude of the Wuchang revolutionary military government towards the concession. If it is easy to discuss, help the Wuchang Revolutionary Military Government intervene in Hankou and drive away Li Xiang, which can temporarily stabilize the situation in Hankou.
It happened to be heard that the Wuchang Revolutionary Military Administration was going to hold a sacrificial ceremony. For this reason, Ge Fu asked Tom to come with him. By the way, Ge Fu also brought Evind Danger, a famous reporter of the British "Mainland News" who was interviewing in Hankou. As soon as Ewende Danger heard about the Sacrifice Ceremony and had a little understanding of Chinese culture, he immediately realized that this was not like the emperor's registration ceremony. It was a critical moment in Chinese history. For this valuable news value, he agreed.
"You are distinguished guests, please take a seat. It's in a hurry and the hospitality is not good. I hope you can forgive me. Tang Hualong, who was familiar with diplomacy, personally entertained him. He specially set up a VIP seat for the foreign lords in the front row of the altar, and sent guards to bring a letter to Li Yuanhong. The foreign lord came.
"There, there." Ge Fu arched his hands and held his fists, and Ge Fudai's companions, who are most proficient in Chinese culture, replied. Tang Hualong's hospitality is actually very thoughtful, like tables and chairs. In order to take care of the habits of foreigners, he is also covered with a snow-white tablecloth. In less than a moment, Junshan Maojian and Brazilian coffee were brewed. There are many dried fruits on the table, including traditional Chinese fruits, pastries, and many Western snacks. Anyway, they are exquisite.
The three foreign adults nodded with great satisfaction and enjoyed the hospitality of Tang Hualong. They seemed to have regained their supreme position in front of the Chinese people. Compared with Li Xiang, who is extremely arrogant in Hankou, the Wuchang revolutionary military government still deserves the support of their foreign lords. Well, temporary support.
