Chapter 57 Let the bullets fly a little longer

Sun Yat-sen once pointed to a person and said that this was the comrade who fired the first shot. It's you, Bear One Gun. Many generals and soldiers have fired countless bullets in their lives, and they are not as good as your bullet.At the right time, at the right place, you let the bullet fly for just a moment, and you changed history. Xiong Bingkun was also a poor child. His father was ill in bed all year round, and the livelihood of the six members of the family was only maintained by his mother's needlework.At the age of twelve, he went out to herd cattle and carry water for others, and later became an apprentice cobbler. Not to mention suffering and hardship, he still didn't earn much money.

In the twelfth lunar month of the year when I was sixteen, my father was seriously ill, and the whole family had no rice to cook.It was snowing heavily, and Xiong Bingkun looked up to the sky and sighed: God will not allow me! He made a move, an absurd move: he committed suicide by drowning, but fortunately he was rescued by a kind passerby. Unknown passerby, thank you, what you saved is not only a life, but also a piece of history.Without your shot, there would be no earth-shattering shot. Later, Xiong Bingkun went to work as a coolie at the pier, where soldiers from the engineering battalion also picked sand and were introduced to join the army. In 1905, he joined the Eighth Battalion of Engineering as a soldier. According to him, he didn't have much enthusiasm for the revolution at the beginning.It was not until March of the Xinhai Year that he was introduced by Sun Wu to join the Gongjinhui, and soon became the backbone of the revolution.

On the afternoon of October 9, after the Sun Tzu bombing, Xiong Bingkun decided to riot in advance. Yang Hongsheng was in charge of transporting bullets. He opened a grocery store as a cover. The grocery store opened next to the Chuwangtai armory. Workers who repaired ordnance often bought things.After getting acquainted with each other, I secretly asked the workers to bring some bullets. Yang Hongsheng sent two boxes of ammunition, armed the backbone with the only 150 ammunition collected, and agreed to use the sound of artillery as a riot signal at 9 o'clock that night. Xiong Bingkun kept six pills for himself, three pills for the general representatives of each team, and two pills for each brave soldier who had a bad relationship with the chief.

Yang Hongsheng was carrying a wine bottle bomb in a basket covered with sundries.But at this time martial law has been imposed and no entry into the barracks is allowed.Yang Hongsheng had no choice but to return home.The landlord is very strange, old man, running around with a basket all day long. shop? Men go shopping for only one purpose, to accompany women.But Yang Hongsheng is a bachelor, a bachelor without a girlfriend.In extraordinary times, if you act suspiciously, report immediately. The military and police came upon hearing the news. Yang Hongsheng threw the first bomb while running, but it didn't go off.

Then the second bomb was thrown, it rang, but no one was blown up. The third bomb, which rang, exploded itself.Due to violent shaking, it exploded in the hand. That night, military police raided the military headquarters.Jiang Yiwu, Liu Fuji, Peng Chufan and others are in a meeting.Liu Fuji threw bombs from upstairs. The first one didn't ring. The second bomb didn't go off. The third bomb, still did not go off. It's not that the quality is not good enough, it's that the bolt (bomb bottom tube) is not installed.After the bomb made by Sun Tzu accidentally exploded, in order to prevent accidents, all the stored bombs had their bolts removed.Now that the situation is so urgent, who remembers to put the bolt on?

Qing soldiers rushed in, and Liu Fuji and Peng Chufan were arrested. Jiang Yiwu was wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket, with long braids, dressed as a country gentleman.He yelled loudly: "I came to see the fun, why are you arresting me?" When watching the excitement, you also need to distinguish the occasion, what to do and why to go.The military and police ignored him, and Jiang Yiwu took advantage of the chaos to escape. Xiong Bingkun's uprising that night was delayed due to the arrest of Yang Hongsheng and others. The next day, October 10, the four gates of Wuchang were closed tightly, the streets were under martial law, and warships were cruising on the river, searching for revolutionaries everywhere.

At that time, there were not many new troops in the city of Wuchang. The 15th and 29th battalions of the infantry were only the first and second battalions, and the 30th battalions were all banner soldiers. Only the first battalion is outside the city, and only the third battalion of the forty-one troops is inside the city, and the rest have already left for other places.In total, there are three battalions of troops in the city, one battalion of engineers, three battalions of flag soldiers, one battalion of supervision and coaching teams, and several battalions of patrolling troops.Comparing the two, the revolutionary army may have little chance of winning.

But now the group of dragons has no leader, life and death are at stake, so there is nothing to worry about, it is better to die standing than kneeling to survive.Xiong Bingkun decided to do it. Xiong Bingkun falsely claimed that he had received an order from the head office (in fact, everyone ran away), and it was launched during evening exercises at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Everyone said in unison, no bullets. "Didn't it be posted yesterday?" "The white terror is so powerful that I didn't dare to keep it by my side. I threw it away last night." It just so happened that Xiong Bingkun was guarding the door in shift today. It was a good opportunity, but he had no bullets.Three soldiers stole three boxes of ammunition from the platoon leader.Bullets, bullets, you came too soon, let the bullets fly a little longer.

But the evening exercises in the afternoon were suddenly cancelled. It can only be postponed until the evening between the first name and the second name (7:00 to 9:00). Xiong Bingkun worked in shifts, had a waist card (pass), and was free to enter and leave the barracks. He took the opportunity to contact the 29th and 30th revolutionaries nearby. After counting the first name, patrolling around, I suddenly heard shouts from the second row. It's time, gun in hand, follow me, Xiong Bingkun is ready to shoot. Tao Qisheng, the leader of the second platoon, saw the squad leader Jin Zhaolong lying on the bed wiping his gun, and yelled, "Do you want to rebel?"

Inappropriate place, inappropriate time, inappropriate words.Cheng Dingguo, a soldier next to him, saw his brother being humiliated and hit Tao Qisheng on the head with the butt of his gun.Tao Qisheng grabbed the door and fled. Want to escape?It's not that easy. Cheng Dingguo raised his gun, a shot was fired, the first shot fired, the bullet flew out, and the great moment came. All the pain was left to the platoon leader Tao Qisheng.Historical, physical, shot in the waist. It doesn't matter if Xiong Bingkun came a step late.The key is not who fires the first shot, but that when the gun goes off, there will be a scene, and the soldiers will have a better idea.

On the side of the reactionary camp, the leader has run away, the game is over, the heart is at a loss, and the bullets don't want to fly. Not one bullet, all the bullets flew out, not for a while, but for a long, long time. No matter how long or how far you fly, there will always be a time when the flight ends.So the next step is to keep the bullets flying, without stopping for a moment.Then the arsenal must be occupied, and it will be guarded by the Eighth Battalion of the Engineering Works at the Chu Watchtower. The Eighth Battalion of the Project has a long history. Its establishment owes thanks to one person, Xiangshuai Zhang Zhidong, who has been mentioned countless times. In 1893, Zhang Zhidong began to train the new army in Hubei.The engineering team was established and fully Germanized.Mauser double-barreled rifles and mountain guns were imported from Germany, and Germans were hired as training instructors.Later, it was gradually expanded, and its full name was the Eighth Battalion of the Army's Eighth Town Engineering. The officer in charge of guarding the armory of Chuwangtai is called Li Keguo, who is quite prestigious in the army and popular with him.When the gunshots sounded over there, the revolutionaries here were ready to attack. Li Keguo called the soldiers over: "I have worked with you for five years, we get along day and night, and we are as close as brothers. I have a few words in my heart, would you like to listen?" "Sir, you're a good man, and we'd like to hear." Did you hear the gunshots outside? I heard it a long time ago, and I have waited until now just to hear the gunshots. If bandits and gangsters come to snatch arms, we will defend the arms to the death and resolutely defend the safety of the people's property. If soldiers come... Li Keguo paused and looked at the soldiers: "My dear brothers, you are few, so don't resist and let them in." After speaking, there was a complete silence. Li Keguo opened the warehouse door and asked someone to bring in two boxes of ammunition to distribute to the soldiers. Suddenly, a soldier fired a volley of guns into the air.After shooting him off, Li Keguo quietly walked over the wall from the backyard.Li Keguo is a sensible person, and the revolution will not embarrass a sensible person. The gun went off, it wasn't enough, the cannon didn't go off yet. The South Lake Artillery Battalion was already ready to move, and Xu Wannian and his brothers were waiting for this day. Xu Wannian studied in a private school for three years, dropped out of school because of his poor family, and was an apprentice in a store. Later, he was introduced by Liu Gong to join the Gongjin Association and served as the general representative of the Eighth Standard of the Artillery Team.He is not handsome in appearance and eloquence is not outstanding, but he has a special charm.It's not clear where the charm is, anyway, the soldiers listen to him. Xu Wannian raised eight hundred taels of silver to open a tavern near the barracks, and set up tables for the Eight Immortals, and all the guests came.Propagating the revolution to soldiers late at night.He has a straightforward personality, but the key is generosity.There is no good wine, small wine is ordered every day, and the money for the wine is free, and if you don't have it, you can pay on credit.Very popular.During the seven years in the Artillery Corps, nearly a thousand soldiers were recruited. The Nanhu Artillery Battalion was stationed outside Wuchang City. As soon as they heard the gunshots, Xu Wannian started to act.Xu Wannian, who has a good relationship, thought that he would respond to everyone, but the soldiers were still waiting and watching.Everyone is grateful to Xu Wannian for his usual hospitality with good wine and good meat.But a revolution is not a dinner party. The situation is unclear now. If you act rashly, you may not be able to punish the nine clans. It seems that if you don't come to order now, everyone is unwilling to move. Another revolutionary, Cai Hanqing, has appeared. Cai Hanqing, a native of Mianyang, Hubei, was born as a porter with extraordinary strength.Because of carrying burdens all the year round, a big bag protruded from his shoulder, known as "Cai Yibao". He took off his shirt and dragged a cannon barebacked. The team officer stepped forward to stop me, didn't you see me take off my clothes?Aren't you looking for a draw?Cai Hanqing kicked the team officer to the ground.At the gate of the barracks, Cai Hanqing fired the first shot, the most historic first shot in the year of 1911. Since then, "Cai Yibao" has become "Cai Yipao". As soon as the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold, the deterrent effect is stronger than anything else.Everyone has confidence.Xu Wannian was filled with emotion, every day the good wine and meat were not worth the sound of a cannon at a critical moment, after the revolution, it was really impossible to treat guests to dinner. The guns are fired, the cannons are fired, the arsenal is in place, and now people's hearts are stabilized. To stabilize people's hearts, we must completely give up those who still have illusions about the Qing Dynasty.To make them give up, they must completely destroy their leader.The next step is to capture the head office - the governor's office. The revolutionary party soldiers attacked the Governor's Yamen in three ways. The troops guarding the Supervision Office include a battalion of coaches, a team of machine guns, a team of fire brigades, a team of cavalry, and a battalion of flag soldiers.Zhang Biao personally supervised the battle and ordered to defend at all costs. The revolutionary army rushed three times and was repelled.If the governor's yamen cannot be captured, everything will be over, and the situation is very critical. The artillery team went out and fired a few shots, which were very powerful.But in the middle of the night, the target could not be seen clearly, and the boom was also random. Someone thought of an idea, found more than a dozen barrels of foreign oil, and set the houses on both sides of the governor's office on fire, and the flames soared into the sky. At the critical moment, Cai Yipao made a shot. In the reflection of the fire, he aimed at the flagpole of the Superintendent's Office. The first shot hit 1,800 meters, the second shot hit 1,600 meters, and the third shot hit the Superintendent's Office. house.Three shots in a row, all the shots are accurate. The more accurate and precise the cannon, the more flustered and frightened Rui Cheng became.Amidst the rumbling gunfire close at hand, he made a difficult decision. Zhang Biao is still struggling there, Mr. Rui, we have experienced the baptism of gunfire and the test of iron and blood together, and our friendship will definitely be further improved.Still moved, the soldiers came to report that Mr. Rui had slipped away. Why did not I see? If I let you see it, can I still run? Hearing the more and more intensive gunfire from the Revolutionary Party, Zhang Biao sighed, and led a few loyal subordinates to flee to Hankou. Ruicheng slipped away, Zhang Biao fled, the most vicious enemy disappeared, and Wuchang was completely occupied. What about the rest of the state workers? Hubei tifa made Ma Jizhang neatly dressed in court crown and court clothes, holding a seal in his hand, and sitting alone in the yamen.He vowed: "I won't leave, I'll wait for the revolutionaries to come. I'll kill you as soon as I get up, and die for the emperor, happy!" Waiting and waiting, the revolutionary party still did not come, and the servants next to him all ran away.A maid shouted from the back door: "Master Ma, your mother is calling you to come home for dinner!" Mr. Ma looked around, but didn't get up. "Master Ma, your wife is calling you home for dinner!" It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast, and just as the words fell, there was no one in the hall, and he ran quickly, and Mrs. Ma went home for dinner. Eating delicious food and looking at his wife's beautiful face, Ma Jizhang sighed that life is really wonderful.Your Majesty, I'm sorry. Everything happened in Wuhan, where the revolution should be the least. Rui Cheng, Hong Ge, Zhang Biao, three men who are not good at nightlife, they could have sang the melodious "same song" hand in hand on the big stage, but now, they are about to make a painful performance in the sound of "Unforgettable Tonight". choice.
