The staff officer was relieved to hear that Sadao Matsumura should not fight. The red-eyed soldiers are on the verge of losing their mind. At this moment, Li Xiping's brain is hotter than the overloaded CPU, and he can do everything. It's not good for a brigade commander to charge. These are all the old habits of the newly promoted revolutionary army officers, and they can't be changed in a day. But what's the matter with a brigade commander having a knight duel with the enemy? Do you really think of yourself as an Eastern hero or a Western knight?

Li Xiping put away his command knife, took out a crumpled cigarette from his coat pocket and put it in his mouth. He took out a box of matches and scraped several of them, but they couldn't burn. The match head was soaked in blood and couldn't find a dry one.

The staff officer quickly took out a box of dry matches from his body, gave it to Li Xiping, and asked, "Bidcomer, what should I do now?" It means to ask, do you want to live or die?

Li Xiping took a puff of smoke hard and exhaled a cloud of smoke very comfortably. "Give it to the artillery camp to cook. If someone gets hurt at this time, it won't be worth it.

Sadao Matsumura looked up at the smoke-filled sky and saw a cannonball from far to near, with a sharp roar in his ears and a desperate face.

The hot light flashed, the main building of the Japanese consulate collapsed, and huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky.

Li Xiping looked at the burning ruins, and his heart was always a little inexhaustible.

After the revolutionary army forcibly captured the Eastern Concession, the consulates of the British, German, American and Russian Concession successively raised white flags. The white dogs in the past in the concession all entered the prison camps of the revolutionary army, and the revolutionary army declared martial law in the whole city.

The army of the revolutionary army lined up in the streets and alleys of the concession in Hankou. Each soldier held his head high and sang the "Revolutionary Army Song" loudly (that is, the "Revolutionary Army Song"), and the rubber scalp shoes stepped on the ground hard and neatly. They are walking in the proudest way on the land that has left the motherland for half a century, and the mark of China's shame has been touched by them.

Forward! Move forward! Move forward! Our team is facing the sun, stepping on the land of the motherland, and carrying the hope of the nation. We are an invincible force. We are the children of workers and peasants, we are the children of workers and peasants, we are the armed forces of the people, from fearless, never giving in, fighting bravely, until the elimination of the reactionaries, and the banner of revolution is flying high. Listen! The wind is roaring, listen! The revolutionary song is so loud! The comrades rushed to the battlefield of liberation with a neat pace, and the comrades rushed to the border of the motherland with a neat pace, moving forward! Move forward! Our team to the sun, to the final victory, to the liberation of the whole country!

The tune is magnificent, as high as a mountain, resolute and heroic, and enthusiastic. Just like the revolutionary army in front of us, it embraces an invincible revolutionary spirit. The revolutionary army shouldered the historical trust of revitalizing the century-old diseased country and the ideal of fighting bravely for the liberation of the Chinese nation.

A revolutionary soldier rushed to the gorgeous Gothic small foreign building and took off a sign "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter" hanging at the door.

The manager of this senior salon, a tall and handsome blonde foreigner habitually wants to stop drinking. The foreign talent took a step forward, and another revolution came out step by step. The bayonet stained with blood was on the chest of the foreigners. The revolution did not know the importance of this revolution, and he also deliberately tried it. The foreign manager cut a cut on the chest of the exquisite suit, revealing the white shirt.

The foreign manager felt a cold chest, took a step back, glared at the yellow pig in front of him, and said in blunt Chinese, "This is the British Concession, a citizen of the British Empire, you have no right to touch anything about me."

The officer of the Revolutionary Army roared, "This is the land of the Chinese people, and only Chinese laws are valid here!" If you can't abide by the laws of the Chinese people, get out of your hometown!"

The revolutionary soldiers present glared at him. They had just retreated from the battlefield, and their murderous spirit had not yet receded. Foreigners are frightened. The Chinese are no longer the sick man in East Asia in their eyes. They can no longer be foreign adults as before. Maybe they should consider going back to their hometown.

The "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter" sign was thrown on a cart by revolutionary soldiers, and such a sign has been piled up on the cart. With the sound of the car, the soldiers of the revolutionary army went far away.

The smoke of Hankou has not yet dissipated, and Changsha is brewing a new war cloud. Hunan's revolutionary tradition is strong, and it also has the title of Chinese Prussia. Hunan is the first to respond to Wuchang's righteousness.

Since Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin gathered in Yueyang Tower, it was a definite message, and then sent a telegram to the bosses of the Shanghai League to respond to the revolution.

The revolutionary situation in Hubei is booming and good. The revolutionaries in Hunan are eager to try, and they are suffering from a lack of leadership.

Jiao Dafeng was waiting anxiously. Seeing that the revolutionary situation in Hubei was getting better day by day, he was waiting for it, and finally waited for Liu Wenjin sent by the Shanghai headquarters.

Jiao Dafeng returned to Changsha with Liu Wenjin's letter of introduction, that is, to meet Anding Chao, Liu Anbang and Xiong Guanghan. Soon, Chen Zuoxin, Ding Bingyao, Xu Hongbin and others also came to meet.

Jiao Dafeng said, "We are ordered by the Alliance to send special contact comrades to Hunan in response to the Wuchang Uprising. Many people have contacted Hongmen in Liuyang and Pingjiang, and have acquired pistol bombs. They must contact the new army as well as they arrive.

Chen Zuoxin said, "Yu Chengge has been deliberately guarding for a long time, and the new army has been stationed in various prefectures and counties to disperse the situation. The patrol troops stationed in the prefectures and counties will be transferred back to the provincial capital and waiting for deployment. A number of personnel will be sent to inspect the correspondence and telegrams of the soldiers of the new army. All letters and telegrams of the new army will be opened by the inspectors and registered first. They are not allowed to hand them over to the soldiers, and all soldiers are not allowed to send letters and telegrams without permission.

Jiao Dafeng said, "Hubei constitutionalists cooperate with the revolution. I think Hunan constitutionalists should also be able to see the current situation."

Constitutional sent Huang Ying and Cao Hui to invite Chen Zuoxin to the autonomous office to discuss. Chen Zuoxin said: "If Hunan wants to respond to the Wuchang Uprising, I will be responsible for the new army, but the patrol camp and the meeting party must discuss with Jiao Dafeng. The constitutionalists have an open identity to move, and even the government can't defend against it. We will win their support.

Chen Zuoxin laughed and said, "The news of the constitutionalists is better than ours, and they have tested me for a long time. Huang Ying, Cao Hui asked me to talk about it in detail at the autonomous office, and said that I was not embarrassed and didn't believe what I said. When you come back, I guess they also received the letter. I dare to bet a dollar. In less than a quarter of an hour, they will ask someone to come to you.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Zuoxin's voice fell, Wen Jingwei and Yi Zongxi came in, saying that the Constitution sent people to ask them to introduce them to Jiao Dafeng, the revolutionary leader of Hunan, and asked him to meet at Jia Gong Temple.

"It really came in time." Jiao Dafeng agreed without hesitation, looking at Chen Zuoxin with admiration and a smile. Everyone at the meeting laughed, and Wen Jingwei and Yi Zongxi looked at it inexplicably.

Jia Gongci, the light in the hall is already a little dim.

Jiao Dafeng said, "I am responsible for the task of contacting the party, but it is not easy to break by clearing the iron barrel country. I still advocate the adoption of the violent means of burning the church and destroying the school."

Wen Jingwei and Yi Zongxi strongly opposed it, and the constitutionalists refused to agree.

Huang Ying shouted, "Butcher general Li wanted to restore Hankou without much damage. Hankou was completely excessive..." Huang Ying said and said and said that Li Xiang was a butcher in front of the revolutionary. What's the matter? Now the constitutionalists are approaching the revolutionary party. In this way, it is not good for the revolutionaries. Although Li wants to kill, he can't expose it in person.

"I will order the revolutionary army to strictly observe discipline. If the remnants of the Qing Dynasty resist fiercely, there is nothing I can do." Jiao Dafeng reluctantly agreed and put the ugly words in the front.

This matter has been exposed, but the constitutionalists still don't trust Chen Zuoxin enough. They think that this person likes to talk big and often talks about it. Although Chen Zuoxin said that "I am responsible for the new army", he always feels that Chen Zuoxin is not trusted by the new army and has a lot of weight. If he only contacts Chen and fails to believe in it, he directly and indirectly transferred to the new army soldiers and sends representatives to contact each other in order to get to each other and facilitate action.

Therefore, Chen Zuoxin invited Anding Chao, a revolutionary in the new army, to Fushou Building to meet Huang Ying, Zuo Xueqian, Huang Yiqiu, representatives from all walks of life in politics and business.

More than 40 revolutionaries from the Hunan New Army came to the Fushou Building to gather. First, there were Jiao Dafeng, who was generous and shouldered, and then Chen Zuoxin, and those representatives in short robes and non-coherent also came one after another.

Huang Ying asked Jiao Dafeng, "How many soldiers and horses can there be in Liuyang?"

Jiao Dafeng smiled and said, "At least 20,000 people."

Zuo Xueqian then asked, "What's the sign when you enter the city?"

"Qingyi Qing Baotou."

"How much artillery fire will it bring?"

Jiao Dafeng replied casually carelessly, "There is no gunfire. In today's situation, it only takes 10 foreign oil barrels and 10 tens of thousands of firecrackers to capture the Fu Yamen.

Someone suddenly found that Detective Tang Man Laoya of the Fu Department was sitting in this teahouse and dispersed in the middle of the meeting. Jiao Dafeng immediately went to Liuyang Liaison Party.

The next day, Chen Zuoxin invited some representatives of the new army to Yizhong Mountain outside Xiaowumen for a meeting. More than 30 people came to the meeting to push Anding Chao, Liu Anbang and Xu Hongbin to command the new army respectively. The patrol team revolted on October 20, and Cheng Bangjie and others notified the elder brother's association to respond.

On October 18, Jiao Dafeng returned to Changsha. Because the party he contacted did not arrive, he called Chen Zuoxin, Andingchao, Wen Jingwei, Yi Zongxi, Wu Zuolin, Xu Hongbin, Zuo Xueqian, Yan Hongfei, Cheng Bangjie, Su Jianshi, Huang Ying, Wen Fei and more than 100 people to meet in Jia Taifu Temple Sports Hall, and decided to start on the 21st. Righteousness, the artillery battalion raises the fire as the name.

There was no fire on the 21st and night. It turned out that the Qing army was very strict, and the artillery battalion did not have a chance to raise fire and could not rise up.

The revolutionaries in the new army are already impatient. The news of the defeat of Xia Zhankui's three bridges has returned to Hunan, and the great situation of the Hubei revolution has spread all over the streets and alleys of Changsha. The soldiers of the revolutionary army in the camp, whether day or night, in the playground lecture hall, three or five people met, talking a lot, the group was excited, and there was a touch-and-go trend. The official did not dare to ask the representatives going out, and did not care about the comments of the soldiers in the camp. Occasionally, he pretended not to listen and walked away quietly.

Yu Chengge, the governor of Hunan, knew that the new army was unreliable, so he discussed with Huang Zhonghao, who presided over the Hunan Provincial Camp Office and the leader of the Middle Road Patrol Battalion, to confiscate the guns, cannons and bullets of the patrol battalion in the Military Outfit Bureau, leaving only 10 small boxes per battalion for security. The bullets of the new army have been collected, and some of the troops of the new army have been transferred to Yuezhou, Linxiang, Ningxiang, Gaiyang and other places, and the 15th battalions of the patrol forces in each county have been transferred to the provincial capital.

Huang Zhonghao is known as "Little Zhuge". He is a literati and is resourceful. Yu Chengge is like the Great Wall, and the military is well-made. Huang Tongshen has a wide range of contacts in the business community. The constitutionalists even wanted to hold him as the governor of Hunan. At first, he was waiting and sent his confidant to Wuhan to detect whether the revolutionary army had won the Wusheng Pass. If he took the Wu Sheng Pass, he would respond, otherwise he would help the Qing Dynasty "pacify the chaos". The detective reported that Wu Shengguan was still in the hands of the Qing army, and he also heard that Feng Guozhang had taken action.

The uprising failed to be launched on the 21st. The next day, on the morning of the 22nd, Yu Chengge and Huang Zhonghao heard the news and discussed using cannons to bombard the new barracks.

Anding Chao did not see the fire on the night of the 21st. He thought that the matter was urgent. Li Jinshan, a comrade from the artillery team who came to report the news at dawn on the 22nd, said, "Go back to the camp as soon as possible, listen to the sensation of the gunfire, and gather together to make trouble."

Anding Chao sent people to inform the new army's standard battalions and patrol teams to prepare.

The 22nd is Sunday. At 8 o'clock, Anding led the 49 standard soldiers to go into trouble.

At 8 o'clock this day, Anding Chao asked Tan Manfang to blow an emergency gathering whistle on the playground. The left team of the 2nd battalion opened the military uniform warehouse of the battalion. The quartermaster asked them, "What's the matter?"

Andingchao said, "Today's uprising, you can obey the order."

Each soldier gets 10 bullets. The officials didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at each other in shock.

Anding Chao Chao set off a three-shot signal gun, speaking to the soldiers about the revolutionary significance, and spreading the ban: each team is commanded by representatives, officers and soldiers are not allowed to leave the team without authorization, and violators are accused of escaping from the battle; if they do not encounter the enemy's resistance, they are not allowed to release guns casually; they are not allowed to take private goods. The violator corrects the law on the spot.

Anding Chao's order: Peng Yousheng's 49 standard 2nd battalion rear team, together with 50 standard and horse team, entered the city from the north gate to occupy the Hechi Military Outfit Bureau. After Li Jinshan led the artillery team into the city, he went to the Military Outfit Bureau to receive shells and threatened the Fu Department. He himself led the front team, left team and right team of the 49 standard 2nd Battalion, together with the 3rd Battalion of the Heavy Artillery Project, to enter the city from Xiao Wumen and occupy the Council.

The uprising team set out separately, and the old official had no choice but to follow. The old official Yi Tangling asked, "What are you doing?"

What's the matter?"

A soldier took out his knife and said, "Today we are revolting. If you want to oppose it, I will kill you first."

Yi Tangling dared to resist and followed the team into the north gate.

Huang Zhonghao has ordered all battalions to supervise the soldiers, strictly guard the gate, prevent the new army from entering the city, and allow them to shoot and stop it. The battalions were ordered to send troops to patrol the four cities to arrest the revolutionaries to prevent the riots. However, the soldiers of various defense battalions demanded to improve the treatment, which has not been solved, and the army is lax.

Peng Yousheng led the uprising team all the way to the north gate, and the guards of the north gate led Zhao Chunting to the patrol camp. He had already been contacted by his subordinate Xu Hongbin, so when the uprising army entered the city, he lined up to raise a gun to salute.

The armory ammunition depot of the Garrison Bureau was the Patrol Team 8. The insurgent troops arrived, and the contacted Wang Xintao, Zhou Futang and Yi Shangzhi opened the warehouse door. The new army suddenly saw a large number of bullets. If they got the treasure, they would try their best to be full. They also saw the shell gun, knowing that it was a sharp weapon, but if they did not know how to use it, they would break their shell and take their guns.

Anding Chao and others arrived at Xiaowu Gate, and the patrol battalion management belt had ordered the soldiers to close the gate and ordered them to shoot at the insurgents. The soldiers did not shoot, but did not open the gate. They looked at each other and smiled at each other without hostility. Hold each other for more than an hour. The Anding super-life artillery team retreated to the teaching field, set up the cannon and pretended to shoot. At this time, Lai Fuchun, the representative of the engineers in the city, came to the gate. Seeing that although the gate was closed, it was not locked, he went forward and shook down the door bar, and the guards did not stop it. The gate suddenly opened, and the insurgents rushed in.

When the new army arrives at the security department, the security guard team will surrender.

Seeing the situation change, Yu Chengge came out very calmly and shouted to the rebel soldiers, "Brothers, we are all Han people."

He ordered his servant to hang the slogan "Big Man" on the white cloth on the mast. He went into the hall, got into the hole in the backyard, fled to the foreign bank outside the small west gate, and took the wheel to Shanghai. The revolutionary army cheered and let him escape.

The new army occupied Changsha City. There was no strong resistance during the whole uprising, and the decay of the Qing Dynasty had reached its roots.
