Chapter 105 The Proposal of Wuchang (1)
Chapter 105 Wuchang's Proposal (1)
In the blink of an eye, the Wuchang Uprising had been successful for nine days. On October 18, it was another sunny and good weather. Perhaps because yesterday the Revolutionary Army took the Yukou Station and slapped the Qing army who had just arrived, which encouraged the morale of the Revolutionary Army. Today, Wu Zhaolin got up early, quickly completed the washing and came to the Strategic Office within the Military Government to work. Although he is now under the title of Second Association, the person who is commanding the newly established Second Association is another surrendered general of the Qing army - Zhang Jingliang.
The face was a little obscure. This was the decision made by the military government just yesterday. The Minister of Military Affairs Sun Wu proposed that the Grand Governor Li Yuanhong reconsidered, Tan Renfeng, Ju Zheng and other bigwigs did not make fierce disputes like before. They just seized the military power in his hands on the grounds that "there are many military affairs in the city, and they cannot do without Wei San (Wu Zhaolin's character) to make plans" and asked him, a hero who obeyed the revolution, to serve him wholeheartedly. Although he had expected it, he felt bitter when the dispute between the two tigers was caused to him.
The word "power" is indeed extremely charming. Sun Wu took the stubborn behavior in just three days and put himself in his confidants in the military government.
Just a few days after the Tongmenghui arrived, a big boss Ju Zheng repeatedly bombarded Sun Wu and the Tongmenghui that had almost become his private Tongmenghui. First, he proposed the proposal and used a trick to divide the many members of his subordinates who did not like his behavior to collect him into the Tongmenghui. He also made many moves to win over a group of fence-leaders from the constitutional faction and gave him real power. With the help of the Tongmenghui's banner, although the Tongmenghui's military power was not as good as Sun Wu in these days, he gradually gained the upper hand with the military affairs meeting. He passed a series of bills that were not conducive to Sun Wu, which made him extremely angry.
Looking out through the window, Wu Zhaolin sighed. Although the weather was clear, not only many of him saw it. The howling cold wind was wrapped around the blizzard and was about to hit Wuchang. How to deal with the Qing army whose vanguard troops had reached the province was the most troublesome problem for the military government at the moment.
Outsiders may not know, but the military government knew that just one Yukou station caused the revolutionary army to be involved in the new recruits to reduce its combat effectiveness. After taking Yukou with several times, it was only a few times the army, but it lay down almost equal losses to the enemy. The Qing soldiers' move before retreating was indeed cruel. The only thing that fell into the hands of the revolutionary army was a ruin that had been bombed to the point of being unrecognizable.
"He left freely... Hum? He established the Hubei-Zhongzhong military government again... Good means, really good means..."
As soon as he arrived at the office of the Strategic Office, several childish surveying and mapping schools had sorted out the office for him. Some intelligence materials on the desk were sorted out that he needed to read! After looking through the information listed in the first picture, Wu Zhaolin immediately expressed emotion. Earlier, he had also been the first picture commander Li Han, who had been a little resentful in his heart, but in the past few days he had seen many separations of life and death, and after he had completely accepted the identity of a revolutionary, he felt a little free and easy in his heart. He had originally disliked him a little, and he had faded away a lot. Therefore, after seeing this information he had just received last night, he praised him sincerely and admired him very much.
I opened the other pieces of information, which were nothing more than mobilizations of the Qing army in the province, operation of troops in Hankou and Hanyang towns, as well as greetings and support letters sent by revolutionaries from various provinces.
Seeing that the Qing army was about to invade the territory, the situation within the military government became even colder and chilling. Looking at the team of staff who were still following him a few days ago, they didn't know that they had been placed under the command of the military government again. They were lowering their heads and were dealing with the documents in their hands. Suddenly, the messenger from the Ministry of Military Affairs came. However, Sun Wu and others asked him to go to the meeting quickly and said that there was something important to discuss.
Wu Zhaolin was a little confused. Didn’t the military affairs meeting be settled yesterday? The military government’s military power mobilization has been made and what other meetings will be held?
He asked with a pleasant look in his heart: "Can you know what the meeting is going on?"
"Please atone for your sins. This military affairs meeting is so small that he dare not ask for it..." Well, the messenger could speak. Wu Zhaolin sighed in his heart. He was from the Qing government. He said nothing, but his eyes were running around "dripped", and he was unstable. Obviously, the bad habits of the old year have not been eliminated... Wu Zhaolin saw such a tolerant face, and didn't care. He was indeed very interested in the meeting. So he touched his pocket and took out a silver dollar from his pocket and handed it over: "I have to get up so early to work for the military government. I guess I haven't had time to have breakfast yet. Come, boy, take this money for breakfast..."
Before he finished speaking, the messenger took it over. After glanced, he immediately changed his face and smiled flatteringly: "It's a worry for the lord!" After looking at no one around, he came up and whispered, "I received the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs early in the morning to send messages to all the adults in the city. I was missing... I only listened to the lords talking about "Ezhong" in a vague way, which may be related to the newly established Ezhong branch military government."
"European Central? Does the military government want to attack European Central? By the way, you went to those places to deliver messages before?"
"This..." The messenger hesitated for a moment, but he just pondered without saying a word. It was obvious that he felt that Wu Zhaolin was easy to talk and wanted to get more benefits.
Wu Zhaolin understood, but was very dissatisfied with the rapidly corrupt military government, but he took out a silver dollar and handed it to him. With the silver dollar in his hand, the messenger finally said: "I have just been to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and met Lord Juzheng... and went to send a letter to the governor again. Lord is the third... There are still a few people who were sent out to deliver the letter with Bei Zhi. It's better to be faster, don't let other adults wait anxiously..."
"I'm working hard, I'll prepare now and hurry over..."
"Yes, sir. I still have a job, so I'll retire..."
The messenger disappeared soon, and Wu Zhaolin's expression was gloomy. He didn't know whether he was angry because the military government formed had quickly learned the Qing Dynasty's style, or because of the two giants of the Tongmenghui and the Joint Association, leaving a group of speculators who took the opportunity to get into the revolutionary camp to take advantage of the opportunity. In short, after the messenger left for a while, he got up and walked back and forth in the house for a while, then picked up his hat on the table and rushed to the conference hall.
The Strategy Department and the Military Affairs Department were in the former Hubei Resources Bureau building, so although he was thinking slowly along the way, he didn't take a few minutes when Wu Zhaolin felt the venue. Sun Wu, Ju Zheng, Tan Renfeng, Li Yuanhong, Tang Hualong and Cai Jimin had all settled down.
After a wave of greetings, Sun Wu stood up and patted his palms, focusing everyone's attention on himself.
"Please come temporarily, please don't be surprised. Leave no words, I don't know what you think of the newly established Hubei-Zhongzhong Military Government, please speak freely!"
His injuries on his face have not healed, so he is still wrapped in bandages in some places. No wonder Ju Zheng used the word "shame" when he bombarded this person a few days ago.
Wu Zhaolin opened a document in his hand, which clearly stated: "Gather the strength of our people to kill the Tartars who steal our Chinese magical artifacts. The foundation of the country lies in the people. The road to a strong country is only in the republic! The only way to a republic is to revolution! Now our revolutionaries are against the Qing Dynasty, not because of the personal grudges of a clan, but actually the strength of a country... The Qing Dynasty is unrighteous, and the people are harming the country and the people are in the temple. People who worry about the country and the people are in the rivers and lakes. The world is upside down, and people are angry with each other! It is at this time that the people are punished! I only hope that the world will work together and work hard to overthrow the Qing Dynasty! The four people are equal and create a republic... A Li Han announced here that the Hubei-central Revolutionary Army branch government was officially established."
"Isn't this the electricity when the Hubei military government was established?"
Wu Zhaolin's heart tightened, held it in his hand and took it for a moment and put it down. He had seen one before he came. However, a little uneasy appeared in his heart. Is the military government planning to attack E Zhong? If this is the case, it will definitely be a disaster!
He is still unclear about the strength of the Hubei-zhong military government, but he has seen the methods of its leader Li Han. To this day, the citizens in the city are still circulating, saying that the first hero of the revolution, the first benchmark, was slandered by some villains, and he had to leave Wuchang.
If there is no pushing hand behind this rumor, Wu Zhaolin would not believe it. Not only him, but even Sun Wu, who had never met Li Han, thought so.
Although he had never met Li Han, he knew a lot about his methods from the group of people of the Gongjin Association. Earlier, when the Gongjin Association tried to take office, he was boycotted by the military and civilians because of this rumor, and finally passed his opinion and pushed the more prestigious Li Yuanhong to ascend to the throne of the military governor.
