Chapter 22 Chapter 1 The Eternal Mystery Deep in History

In the thirty-fifth year of the Republic of China—that is, the thirty-fifth year after the success of the 1911 Revolution, a grand tea party was held. The participants were all the heroes who participated in the 1911 Revolution. Lu Zhongqiu, a close comrade-in-arms, during the meeting, everyone recalled the past and the future...Suddenly, the two old heroes fought. Those who fought were Xiong Bingkun and his close comrade-in-arms Lu Zhongqiu.In the 35 years since the Revolution of 1911, both of them have grown from bloody youths to respectable old revolutionaries. Although they are old, they still have the same demeanor when fighting.

Everyone hurried forward to persuade the fight, pulled the two veteran cadres away, and asked why they fought. It turned out that the two were discussing who fired the first shot in the 1911 Revolution.This first shot is really important. The person who fired the shot and the sound of the shot will be permanently recorded in the annals of history for future generations to remember. The veteran Xiong Bingkun believed that the first shot of the Revolution of 1911 was fired by his old man. The veteran Lu Zhongqiu believed that he fired the first shot in the 1911 Revolution. The two have different views and disagreements, and they still can't convince each other, so they acted in a hurry.

So the veterans had a heated discussion on this topic, and the meeting agreed that the first shot of the 1911 Revolution was fired neither by Xiong Bingkun nor Lu Zhongqiu, but by Jin Zhaolong, another soldier from the engineering battalion. Regarding this resolution, Xiong Bingkun played the high character of the veteran cadres and said: He and Jin Zhaolong were in the engineering battalion together. Xiong Bingkun fired the gun, it made no difference. Veteran cadre Lu Zhongqiu's reaction was to howl, to curse, and to express his opinion: My ass, put it on someone else's face.I fired the first shot, I fired the gun, but someone took away the work...

Although people don't understand the local dialect of Wuhan, the meaning is still clear. Then this matter is strange. Who fired the first shot in Shouyi? How can such an important matter be unclear? It would be boring to talk about this topic.The main reason was that no one had a watch at that time, and only those above the platoon leader had a pocket watch. Without a watch, ordinary soldiers couldn't tell the exact time, and they couldn't figure out who fired the first shot at what time. In addition, several battalions were mobilized at that time. Some fired guns in the engineer battalion, and some fired guns in the artillery battalion. There was the first shot from the engineer battalion, and some from the artillery battalion. One shot, if you want to clarify this matter, then you will be in big trouble.

But the old revolutionary Lu Zhongqiu scolded his mother for this, and this topic must be clearly explained.Why don't you explain clearly? So the veterans continued to discuss, and the meeting unanimously passed: the matter of the first shot in Shouyi is too complicated, it is too complicated, let historians study and solve it. Sickness, the veterans are all parties to the first righteousness, and the parties themselves can't explain things clearly, but they have to rely on people who are not present to figure it out for them. But there is really no way around this matter. Since the old heroes have entrusted us with this job, let's take a look at what happened on the iron-blooded night of the Shouyi.
