Chapter 71 Chapter 4: Wuchang gunshots, the empire perishes

In the year of 1911, with the sound of gunshots in Wuchang, the revolution finally made significant progress. On the night of the Wuchang Uprising, the two command centers of the uprising were all cracked, and all the leaders of the uprising fled, which means that the uprising has failed.But there was a large deserter, Xiong Bingkun, who belonged to the Gongjin Association. He refused to accept it, and made a fuss by himself, which ended in the rebellion.Xiong Bingkun took the lead and led his men to capture the Chu Watch Tower and the arsenal according to the plan of the initial uprising. However, you won't win if you occupy the arsenal. Xiong Bingkun only has more than forty people in his hands, and the others ignore him.The Qing soldiers believed that as long as they waited until dawn and the rebels were frozen overnight, they would naturally collapse.But in this case, the insurgents got the support of Wu Zhaolin, an officer with considerable military talent.Wu Zhaolin is not a revolutionary, but he is an excellent soldier, his hands are itchy, and he has the ability to destroy Wuchang.Under the leadership of Wu Zhaolin, Wuchang was leveled in one fell swoop.

Although Wuchang was completely revolutionized, the empire was still there. With the strength of the empire, it took only an instant to regain Wuchang.At this time, the insurgents found another person, who is it?Li Yuanhong.The appearance of Li Yuanhong finally ensured the victory of the Wuchang Uprising. When the news of the gunshots in Wuchang was reported to Yuan Shikai's house, Yuan Shikai immediately called the people around him and asked, "Do you think there will be trouble in Wuchang this time?"Everyone said: There must be no trouble, because there is no one in the revolutionary party.At this time Yuan Shikai said something: Li Yuanhong is around, so what is nobody?

So what ability does this Li Yuanhong have?He has great influence in the military and political circles. It is precisely because Li Yuanhong stood up that the 19 provinces across the country responded. Without him, everyone would not respond to independence. Such a series of coincidental events contributed to Yuan Shikai's departure.When Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong were discussing how to solve this problem, the two parties had a secret agreement.Both parties agreed to take this opportunity to end the life of the empire, so what kind of system should be established?Yuan Shikai's ideal was to have a constitutional monarchy, so that the Qing emperors would still be there, but they would become false monarchs and no longer have real power.Why do you want to do this?He wants to prevent the world from scolding him for committing a crime.The two parties also secretly agreed that Yuan Shikai would be the president, and that the Beiyang Army would secretly assist Li Yuanhong in his revolutionary actions.

While Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong were having a heated conversation, there was a sudden news in Nanjing that the Republic was established, the President was born, and Sun Yat-sen became the President.At that time, Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong were all stupid, why did we leave us and play by ourselves?Who is this Sun Yat-sen, and how did he escape?
