Chapter 47 Wu Zhaolin

"Victory...Victory..."

"Victory...Victory..."

The lanterns were brightly lit and lively. Since Wu Zhaolin issued an order to surrender, the team of eighth battalion soldiers who were originally guarding the garrison immediately put down their weapons and chose two good-talking people to surrender, Xiong Bingkun and others who had been blocked for a long time, Li Han, who had already reached their backs, and Tieyi battalion, led the way forward to lead a group of soldiers who had already put down their weapons to surrender.

After a group of weapons was collected, Xiong Bingkun was a figure. Although Ailing's team of soldiers who charged forward in the previous battle were seriously injured, and the other teams were inevitably a little resentful, considering the unstable situation, it was inevitable that they would have to accept prisoners of war. If they followed the opinions of the big guys and "explained" the surrendered soldiers, there were many people, and there would inevitably be people who leaked the news. Then no one would dare to surrender to their revolutionary army again!

Therefore, he was so angry that he changed his face to a smile and accepted the surrender of a group of people. He also left Wu Zhaolin, who ordered the person to tie his arms and kneel there to die. He persuaded him with kind words and did not say anything, and the smell of winning was very obvious.

There was no way, after another loss of soldiers and generals, Xiong Bingkun and others understood that they were just small people who took advantage of the chaos. In terms of gun art, let alone Li Han, even their soldiers were many of them better than them. When it comes to marching and fighting, they had just seen it. The attack on this current position that was unfamiliar, made them lose their troops and generals several times more often than the enemy, and they were in a mess.

‘The new army of the uprising revolution needs a qualified commander!’

Before I knew it, I didn't have much concern in my heart. Instead, the group of people who were only focused on the victory of the revolution had already unified their thoughts in their hearts. They decided to find a capable and powerful general who knew how to command martial arts, and also command the new uprising soldiers scattered from all over the battalions in the city.

At present, only two and a half people knew about Xiong Bingkun and others. The top one was naturally Cai Jimin, who was famous in the Twenty-Nine Biao. However, he and Twenty-Nine Biao then had to attack the Supervisory Office, and they probably couldn't get out of it for a while. In just a short while, hundreds of soldiers flocked to the city from all over the city, and many others were rushing to the scene. Although everyone saw the hope of the success of the revolution, as more and more soldiers revolted, the ordnance became noisy and chaos!

When he was obviously unrealistic, Xiong Bingkun and others paid attention to the captured left-leaning officer of the Eighth Camp - Wu Zhaolin. To be honest, although there was still half behind - Li Han. However, although he heard that he had studied abroad, Xiong Bingkun and others had just met him and did not know the truth or falsehood of this. It was not that they did not believe it, but whether the uprising was successful or not. Of course, they needed to be careful!

Therefore, although he was still around, Xiong Bingkun and others believed more about this familiar new army officer, especially his group, who had just suffered a great loss in his hands. Although his anger was not gone, they were also extremely convinced. This is why after capturing Wu Zhaolin, Xiong Bingkun and others immediately ordered people to loosen their ties and instruct their subordinates to treat him well and not neglect him.

Among them is the intention of pulling him into the revolutionary camp.

"Come on, Brother Li, I want to thank Brother Li again! We were blocked by the city gate before. If it weren't for Brother Li's talent, I would have pushed the idle artillery in the camp without bothering. Now we have not been able to break through the Chuwangtai Ordnance, which is built with high defense in the city!"

Seeing that the camp was noisy, there was a different place. It was the soldiers of the Iron-first Battalion organized by Li Han. After seeing the surrendered soldiers sent by the defenders in the city, he ordered the soldiers to ask an officer who was familiar with the supply of various warehouses in the ordnance. After meeting Xiong Bingkun and others, he quickly went to a warehouse to move twenty machine guns out and four fast-firing cannons that were also 60mm, and then supplied some ammunition to the soldiers and brought five boxes of shells. He just arrived at the free area near the north gate and stationed for a while, but he ordered the soldiers to continue to be alert with guns and not to relax his vigilance.

When Xiong Bingkun brought two guards over, he was analyzing the success or failure of his first battalion of soldiers who had been convinced and analyzed the success or failure of the siege of the city for the previous siege. It was also his luck. After Xiong Bingkun and others left first, a soldier who cleaned the battlefield came to report to ask how the four gates in the battalion could be handled before they could move into the arsenal.

Li Han took people over and took a look. Seeing that it was a small cannon that was convenient to move, he asked if the artillery in the team had met someone to respond. He ordered people to bring them with him, and brought two boxes of shells together. However, when they arrived at the north gate, they found several corpses lying on the ground. Looking at the red cloth belt wrapped on the arms, it was obvious that the new revolutionary army was sacrificed. After asking one of the wounded people, he realized that two machine guns and cannons were set up on the top of the city. This was the feat that a man had taken down the north gate without being injured.

Because of his actions, although the soldiers under his battalion had not yet fully calmed down, they secretly admired him, so they now commanded much more easily than before!

Xiong Bingkun was secretly impressed when he saw a remnant soldier. The prisoner could be trained to this situation by him. After all, the messy situation in the military station is now, except for the Iron Battalion under Li Han, no one is still a little alert. God knows that they really think that capturing Chu Wangtai will be a victory?!

However, alas... I sighed deeply in my heart. Although Xiong Bingkun saw that Li Han was an extraordinary person, many of his officers did not trust the overseas Chinese who suddenly appeared. When the gunshots of the North Gate were still sounding, some of his officers cursed very badly. If he had not seen him work hard to promote righteousness before, he might have cursed so badly!

It is precisely because of this that Xiong Bingkun had proposed to invite him to command the new revolutionary army that gathered more and more, but they were all suppressed by different voices. Even Cheng Zhengying, who had always agreed with him, privately advised him to think more, obviously disagreeing. In the end... in the end, most people handed the vote of trust to Wu Zhaolin, who knew the truth, although his group had just suffered a considerable loss in his hands.

I have to say that the inertia of history is not something he can stop now!

"Come with me quickly, Brother Li, I will introduce you to a talented person from the Eighth Battalion of our Engineering. He was the defensive fortifications in the ordnance he commanded. He was the former left-wing officer of the Eighth Battalion - Wu Zhaolin and Wu Weisan."

As soon as Xiong Bingkun spoke, a little bitterness appeared on Li Han's face. It was said that when he met Wu Zhaolin, a father of the Republic of China who was excellent in character and ability, he should have visited him too much, even if he could not become a very familiar friend, at least he had to get a little friendship, but now he is afraid that he can't hide! Is the reason? He had already learned from his soldiers that Huang Guoyun, who died at his hands, was the sworn brother of Wu Zhaolin. The Chinese people in this era did not have the indifferent view of friendship as in later generations. There was something about killing people in anger to avenge their friends. It can be said that the two were already included in the ranks of hostility before they met.

Speaking of Wu Zhaolin, he was not an ordinary person at this time. He was naturally imaginable as an army general recognized by both the Beiyang government and the National Government.

Wu Zhaolin, whose courtesy name was Weisan, and whose nickname was Kuanyuan, was named Ximin. He was from Echeng, Hubei. At the age of 16, he joined the Wuchang New Army Engineering Battalion and was admitted to the Engineering Battalion Camp and studied in the Engineering Battalion School. In 1905 (the 31st year of Guangxu), he joined the revolutionary group Rigui. After graduating from the Engineering Battalion School in 1906, he was admitted to the Hubei Staff Academy as the first place. He participated in the two autumn casinos in Zhangde, Henan and Taihu Lake in Anhui in 1908, and handwritten the chronicles of each autumn casino, and also compiled the books on "Tactic Implementation" and "Staff Travel" and other corps skills, which were printed and distributed to each army to refer to. In 1909, he graduated from the Staff Academy as the best student, and returned to the Eighth Battalion of Engineering to serve as the left team officer.

If Li Han had not entered, on tonight's Wuchang Uprising Night, when he was on the Chuwangtai Armory, he would open the city gate and invite him in when Xiong Bingkun and others attacked the Armory. He had good deeds and was promoted to the temporary commander-in-chief by the uprising soldiers. After integrating the revolutionary army gathered in the city, he would command the uprising troops to attack the Huguang Supervisory Office and occupy Wuchang. After the establishment of the Hubei Military Government, he served as the commander-in-chief of the First Association and participated in the Yangxia War Defense War. During the peace talks between the north and the south, he served as the commander-in-chief of the civilian army.

Planning the Northern Expedition. After the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government in January 1912, he served as Chief of Staff of the Grand Marshal's Office. Later, he was transferred to Beijing and appointed as the lieutenant general of the army. He became the chief of the Hubei general regiment and served as the chairman of the Council of the Comrades Council of the Shouyi Association. Soon due to disappointment in domestic politics, he withdrew from politics and devoted himself to social undertakings. He supervised the construction of Fankou Dike and other water conservancy projects and donated money to build the Wuchang Shouyi Park. In his later years, he devoted himself to Buddhism. In 1938, the Japanese army invaded Wuhan and lured him to a high position, but was unmoved. After his death, the Chongqing National Government posthumously awarded the title of Army General.

"I think I'd better forget it..." Li Han smiled bitterly, "You also know the relationship between Huang Guoyun and him... I'm even more embarrassed when I go..."
