Chapter 23 Chapter 1 The Gift of Horror

It is said that the people in the three towns of Wuhan have the most violent tempers.The success of the 1911 Revolution in Wuchang was not without a reason, which is inseparable from the violent temper of the people of Wuhan.Tracing back to the cause of the violent temper of the people in Wuhan, we must mention the Sichuan Road Protection Movement.Because the Sichuan Railway was privately run, major shareholders fled with money at every turn, causing stockholders to hang themselves and throw themselves into the river, and they went to Beijing to petition in an endless stream, begging the court to take care of it.The imperial court was really careless, and it just intervened to announce the nationalization of Sichuan road rights, which finally angered the constitutionalists and major shareholders, so they secretly united with the revolutionaries and instigated the Sichuan civil uprising.It's just a pity that Zhao Erfeng, governor of Sichuan, was forced to break into the government office by the militia and cut off his head.

Zhao Erfeng was wronged in vain, he was murdered by the major shareholders of the constitutionalist faction and party members, and he was charged with a lot of blame after his death.This made the guards around Zhao Erfeng very sad and indignant, so when the military government showed Zhao Erfeng's head to the public, the assassins rushed in and attacked the soldiers who put their heads on display, which was regarded as avenging Zhao Erfeng. When Zhao Erfeng died, Duan Fang, a capable minister of the Qing Empire, was leading a team from Wuchang to help. When they heard about this, the Sichuan Party members were terrified.We all know how powerful Duan Fang is, if gravity hits Sichuan violently, I'm afraid that the party members will not escape catastrophe.At this time, the party member Wu Yuzhang stood up and said: It doesn't matter, the party members in Wuchang have been plotting to cause trouble for a long time. There must be a revolutionary party in the team that came. Let me look for it and see if I can get in touch.

So Wu Yuzhang rode his horse and rushed to Neijiang, just as Duan Fang's team was swaying forward, Wu Yuzhang hid on the side of the road, pretending to be passing pedestrians, and staring at the soldiers in the team, suddenly he yelled: "Big Brother, Big Brother, I can't help you!" Got you.He rushed forward and hugged a soldier. That soldier was none other than the party member Tian Zhiliang lurking in the ranks. At present, Tian Zhiliang quietly told Wu Yuzhang that he had already contacted the party members in Sichuan. Once the team arrived in Zizhou, he would immediately rise up and kill the two brothers Duanfang to make a revolution.

Wu Yuzhang was overjoyed and returned to Neijiang to continue the revolution.And when this Hubei army marched to Zizhou, it exploded, surrounded the two brothers Duanfang, and was about to shoot. After all, Duanfang is a capable minister for the rest of his life. Facing the gun, he was extremely calm and asked: Do you want revolution?It's really great, we thought of going together, Duanfang thinks about revolution every day when I have nothing to do, from now on we will do it together! The party members scolded angrily: Duanfang, don't come here to fool around, you are a bannerman, and we are Han people.This revolution is to kill all of you banner people. Where did you get the qualifications for revolution?

Duan Fang laughed loudly: It's bad, it's bad, you are very bad.Although my name is Duanfang, it sounds like I am a bannerman, but I am not. I will tell you secretly that our family has been Han Chinese for generations. It was only in my grandfather’s generation that I was forced to join the banner.Counting today, it is less than four generations, so I am still a Han Chinese, and of course I am qualified to join the revolution with you and kill the bannermen together. The party members smirked and said: Duan Fang, if you want to participate in the revolution, you can, but well, don’t you think your head is more valuable than your life?

Duan Fang froze for a moment: Brothers, don't be so fierce... Bang bang bang, the party members have already fired. Why were the partisans in such a hurry to shoot? You'll know right away! It is said that Li Yuanhong, the governor of the Wuchang military government, since he took office, has been sending telegrams to the provincial council bureaus and the revolutionary parties, fooling everyone to become independent quickly, and he is so busy every day.He was busy that day when suddenly a few party members came in, holding an exquisite western oil box in their hands, and said: "Report to the governor, great news, Sichuan has declared independence, and sent it to the governor." A generous gift.

Li Yuanhong was overjoyed: It's good to be independent, and gifts can be waived. Those party members persuaded: Governor, you should check the gift first, and then pass it on to the elders in Wuchang, so that everyone can know the good news. Makes sense.Li Yuanhong nodded: Then let me see what this gift is. Walking over, he stretched out his hand to open the western oil box, and then he heard Li Yuanhong scream, and fell to the ground.
