Chapter 59 Brother Hong, let's do it

Xiong Bingkun's bewildered second or third shot made history. Now there is no shortage of bullets and cannons, but Xiong Bingkun is missing one big thing at this time. He lacks the aura, the aura to control the situation. Xiong Bingkun is just a platoon leader, a small person.History pushed him out, but did not allow him to stay on the cusp for too long. In the revolutionary party, the commander-in-chief Jiang Yiwu has escaped, the chief of staff Sun Wu is injured, the God of Wealth Liu Gong has escaped, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing are overseas, and Wang Jingwei is in prison. Who will be the leader?Who is the expected leader?

Who can stand on the cusp of history?Of course, he must have qualifications and prestige, not only that, but he must also have a heart like a bodhisattva, and the soldiers all obey him. There is only one such person in Wuchang, no need to guess, of course it is Brother Hong, it can only be Brother Hong. Then go find him, where is he? No one knows. Big brother, where are you? In fact, Brother Hong is in Wuchang City. On the evening of October 9, after the roster of revolutionaries was seized, Brother Hong advocated delaying the process, so as not to stir up the morale of the army and cause major changes.He suggested to Ruicheng: "This kind of thing often happened when Xiangshuai was in charge. Xiangshuai's usual practice is to burn the roster in public to stabilize the morale of the army."

Ruicheng severely reprimanded Brother Hong, searched and arrested people according to his plans, and finally decided to "arrest one person, interrogate one person; not relax one person, and not implicate one person". How could it be possible not to get involved?Many of the names on the roster were filled out indiscriminately, and the news spread quickly, causing panic among the army. Brother Hong returned home from the governor's yamen, and said with a heart full of thoughts: "Last night, three revolutionaries were killed, and the secret roster of the revolutionaries was seized. Many of the rosters are soldiers in the army. I'm afraid there will be trouble."

On the evening of October 10, Brother Hong slept in the barracks and did not go home.In the evening of the next day, the revolutionaries captured the Zhonghe Gate, where Brother Hong's house was. Someone knocked on the door: "Is Commander Li at home?" Finally, there was news that Brother Hong had been found. He hid under the bed and was carried out by the revolutionaries.Trembling all over, he kowtowed and begged for mercy. is it possible? Brother Hong is a professional soldier. He has experienced the test of life and death in the Sino-Japanese War, so he will not be so useless.Secondly, under the bed is a hidden place, but it is also the most dangerous place. Numerous painful lessons have shown that the big manhunt starts from under the bed every time. Although Brother Hong is honest, he is not stupid. He is so stupid that he hides in his own bed. under.

But what is certain is that Brother Hong is hiding, of course not in his own house, but in his subordinate's house. Brother Hong asked the cook to go home and pack the important things. The cook carried three suitcases on his shoulders. On the way, he met a patrolling revolutionary and asked him, "You must be a bandit with so many things." "I'm not a bandit, I'm a cook, Commander Li's cook." There was no need to intimidate, no need to extract a confession, and he said everything. It seemed that Brother Hong's family was honest. Immediately call to lead the way, and invite Master Li to come out of the mountain.Look left and right, can't find it, play peek-a-boo with us.

Finally found Brother Hong in a small secret room behind the kitchen. Brother Hong was a little panicked. He didn't know what was waiting for him, so he said a word: "I'm good to you, what exactly do you want to do?" We want to invite you out of the mountain. With so many talents in the Revolutionary Party, it's my turn? It's you, it's you. What's worse is that Brother Hong is wearing a gray-yellow long coat today.Don't tell lies, it's not obvious that you need to "add a yellow robe". Brother Hong, it's you.Without any explanation, the crowd surrounded Brother Hong to the Chu Watch Tower.

When they came to Chuwangtai, an artilleryman shouted, please command the commander to fight.Adjutant Wang Anlan reprimanded, be polite to adults.It's all this time, still be polite?The artilleryman drew out his saber and slashed at Wang Anlan.Brother Hong protected Wang Anlan with his body, and said repeatedly: "Speak up if you have something to say." The uprising notice has been drawn up, brother Hong is asked to sign it.Brother Hong kept saying: "Don't hurt me, don't hurt me." No matter what, he didn't sign it anyway.It doesn't matter if you don't sign it, I will sign it for you, anyway, ordinary people don't know handwriting.Brother Hong had no choice but to become a real clay bodhisattva without saying a word.

Several soldiers came over the wall to look for Brother Hong, taking turns persuading him. Brother Hong, when will you do it? Brother Hong, it's time to act. Brother Hong, let's do it! But Brother Hong just refused to do anything. Brother Hong was placed under house arrest on the second floor of the Advisory Bureau. In order to prevent accidents, he was guarded 24 hours a day.The Revolutionary Party was afraid that he would suffer from depression, so they couldn't think of doing stupid things for a while. Brother Hong is really overwhelmed now. When do people lose their minds?A time of despair.

Brother Hong had never been so desperate.He remembered the begging when he was a child, and the dark night when he was drifting in the sea, and he survived because there is still hope. But now the future is uncertain, the revolutionary party is not successful, not only oneself, but also the lives of the whole family are involved; the revolutionary party is successful, and I don't know how to deal with myself, after all, it is not the same way. I can't bear to part with my family, especially the golden pig baby, who is only two months old, but has to face the pain of losing his father.If I had known earlier, I would have taken a few more standard portraits, so that the children would know what their father looked like in the future.

Why do you need to be an official?How good it is to be an ordinary person at home! Brother Hong was in a restless mood, wandering around the room, walking up and down the room, dazzling people's eyes. Will Brother Hong turn danger into blessing?of course.Not for anything else, just because he is a caring and honest person, and he was born on the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became a monk. Buddha will bless him. Brother Hong, hold on, your turning point is coming soon. The turning point came from a woman. A woman is a member of his family, such as his wife, or concubine, her name is Li Benwei.At such a moment, this name makes people panic when they hear it.

In order to prevent accidents, all Hong's relatives and friends are not allowed to meet.Food and supplies are not allowed at home.The family members have important facts, and if they send a message, they must stay five feet away from Brother Hong, and there are people listening nearby. On the third day of imprisonment, Li Benwei asked his close maid to deliver a very, very important message.Five feet away from Brother Hong, the little girl suddenly rained pear blossoms, and screamed hoarsely in pain, fear, and despair: "My lord, my wife told you to come down quickly!" Gently tap to wake up the sleeping mind, and slowly open your eyes.This cry woke Brother Hong's sleeping heart.My family is very dangerous, and I must not hurt my family because of me.Looking at the maidservant's despairing eyes, Brother Hong's heart felt like a knife.That's all, as a man, he can't even protect his own family, so what's the point of being loyal? The chief director of all this is Li Benwei.The danger is at stake, and the critical moment turns danger into safety. Thanks to the little girl, she has both voice and emotion, and she can cry when she should.At the most desperate moment, he touched the almost desperate Hong Ge with his desperate eyes, and rewrote history with his cries. As soon as a man is emotional, his heart starts to soften. Brother Hong put forward three conditions for coming out of the mountain: 1. Open the gates of the city and allow the people to come and go freely; 2. It is not allowed to kill bannermen; 3. To stabilize the hearts of the people, the market will continue to operate as usual. Brother Hong's coming out of the mountain prevented a massacre in Wuchang City in time. At that time, the banner soldiers and the Han soldiers had a long history of grievances.Han soldiers could not look directly at the banner soldiers, otherwise they would be scolded by the banner soldiers. Banner soldiers would ask "whose meal do you eat", and the only answer was: "eat the emperor's meal." If you answer wrong, you will be in trouble. The revolutionaries acted on their own, and there was no policy of giving preferential treatment to prisoners and not killing when they handed over their guns. When they caught the banner soldiers, they were executed on the spot. Difficult to tell. There is always a way, but you never think of it. Read the jingle.At the gate of the city, the door is only two feet apart, and a large guillotine is hung above it, and each one reads "666" one by one.This child can read, six hundred and sixty-six.Could it be that he deliberately wants to let the bannerman go? Of course not, it must be pronounced in authentic Hubei dialect. I specifically asked a buddy who was born and raised in Hubei to read it to me.He came as soon as he opened his mouth, his words were straight and round, his voice was loud and smooth: louboloushilou, my uncle. It is difficult for Han people who are not born and bred in Hubei to read correctly, let alone banner people? Can't read six hundred and sixty-six, under the knife, the head falls. Can read six hundred and sixty-six, open the gate and let people go. There are also some Han Chinese who can read, because they are nervous and stutter, and the results are unexpected. It seems that learning a few more languages ​​is also good. Putonghua needs to be promoted, and dialects must not be lost. At critical moments, it can really save lives. Brother Hong is out of the mountains, Wuchang, there is salvation; Daqing, there is no salvation. Wang Xiaosheng, an employee of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company who lived in Hankou, wrote in his diary: "People's hearts are in turmoil, and the party is extremely stable. People are afraid of the arrival of officials and troops, and they almost forget that the party members are doing murder. This festival is the most terrible." Of course it is terrible, if the city falls, it can be taken back;
