Chapter 56 vs. 13 What exactly is a revolution?

At the beginning of the meeting of the Advisory Council, Tang Hualong spoke first: I still remember the last time I left Wuchang and went to Beijing to petition to overthrow the imperial cabinet.At that time, 30,000 elders in Wuchang saw me off. Before I left, I had a strong feeling and made a promise to the elders in my hometown, claiming that if the defeat of the cabinet failed, I, Tang Hualong, would never see the elders in my hometown again.But what happened?The imperial court ignored our petitioning delegations from various provinces, and allowed us to march and sit in, to protest on hunger strike, wishing that we would starve to death. In desperation, I returned to Wuchang in desperation, feeling that I would never see my elders again.Now that the revolutionary army has risen, the imperial court can’t blame me, Tang Hualong, for being unfeeling and ungrateful to the emperor. It’s because of your imperial court’s aggressiveness... In a word, I declare as the chairman of the Advisory Council: I support the military actions of the Wuchang Revolutionary Party, And call the advisory bureaus of all provinces across the country to call on the provinces to be independent and support our revolutionary action in Wuchang.

After listening to Tang Hualong's speech, the party members were ecstatic.With the help of Tang Hualong and the support of all provinces across the country, the revolution will be successful, and the party members applaud enthusiastically at the moment, hoping that Tang Hualong will continue to speak. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanhong said: "Your suggestion is certainly good. The current riots are all my subordinate brothers. Of course I hope their revolution can succeed, but then again, it is better to resolve enemies than to end them. Whether it is your party The purpose of the people's revolution, or your old Tang Junxian, is for our country, so I mean, you might as well send someone to contact Zhang Biao in Liujiamiao to see if you can find a proper solution.

Li Yuanhong hadn't finished speaking when the party members immediately started clamoring, especially the party member Gan Jixi who was the most emotional. He rushed forward, slapped his palm on the table, raised the knife suddenly, and chopped it off with a snap. With a click, two of Gan Jixi's fingers had been chopped off by himself. While Li Yuanhong was stunned, Gan Jixi slammed the two bloody severed fingers in front of him, and said sharply: Li Xietong, we revolutionaries, we will advance or retreat, die or live, only for the sake of the Han people. Even if it is a hundred deaths, it will not take a step back.Li Xietong, if you are so indecisive, don't blame me for waiting!

All the party members rushed to the party and pointed at the representatives attending the meeting with guns and halberds. They shouted in unison: "If you follow me, you will live, if you don't follow you, you will die, fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore the great cause - don't hurry up and elect a new government!" , what are you waiting for? Election, election, election immediately... The delegates attending the meeting were terrified, and hurriedly sat upright: We will elect immediately... This new government, how to choose this new government, whoever of you knows tell me...

Xiong Bingkun reminded them in due course: We are a revolutionary army, and Wuchang is only a part of the national revolutionary army, known as the Hubei Revolutionary Army. It turned out to be like this... The representatives came to their senses: Then I elected Li Xietong as the governor of the Hubei Revolutionary Army. It is really shameful that Lao Li has such a great ability to be the Xietong all the time. Take this opportunity , Lao Li, you should be addicted to Dudu first. Seconded, seconded, all the representatives echoed in unison, thinking that the opportunity must not be missed, and it was necessary for Li Yuanhong to take this opportunity to promote himself to the post of governor.At that time, Li Yuanhong was awkward, so he said: I'm afraid I can't do this governor, my old Li's talent is weak, everyone, let's see if there is a more suitable candidate...

The party members were furious, and suddenly surrounded Li Yuanhong: Chief Governor, the brothers asked you to come out to take charge because they trusted you. Now the brothers outside have been fighting bloody battles for a day and a night, and the water has never stained their teeth. However, if you continue to push back and talk about it, the chief governor, I am afraid that the brothers will not follow you. Li Yuanhong was helpless: Since you are so stubborn, why don't I do the job first? Xiong Bingkun said anxiously: Chief Governor, then you are a member of our revolutionary army.

Revolution... Li Yuanhong's face was full of tears but no tears: he always talked about revolution, but can you tell me first, what is revolution? All the party members smirked: Governor, the revolution is to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and restore our Han family's rivers and mountains. Li Yuanhong was suspicious: ...why are you looking at me with weird eyes? All the party members laughed strangely: Governor, since you are already a revolutionary party, you should cut off your hair to show that you will never retreat from now on. Li Yuanhong was stunned: ...does this hair have to be cut?Can we discuss it again...

Governor, you have already participated in the revolution, so why discuss it?The party members couldn't help talking, some pulled their arms, some pulled their legs, and some took the opportunity to grab Li Yuanhong's hair from behind, and snapped the scissors. Distinguished and backed away. Li Yuanhong's expression seemed to be crying or laughing, and suddenly he stood up: Hahaha, today I know what it means to advance without retreat, and to die without death.Forget it, since you bastards cut off my hair, come on, now I, Li Yuanhong, the governor of the Hubei Revolutionary Army, issue an order:

In the military academy, select the most revolutionary party members from various provinces, and let them take the letters from Tang Hualong of the Junxian School and the Revolutionary Party to various provinces across the country, contact the local advisory bureaus to cooperate with the Revolutionary Party, plan an uprising, and declare independence. An independent province, funded by Wuchang, and granted the title of Grand Governor to the person in charge. If you want to make trouble, let everyone make trouble together. From now on, fat boy Li Yuanhong will lead the Chinese revolution, advancing and never retreating.
