Chapter 26 Chapter 5 One Man's Uprising

The whole night, Xiong Bingkun didn't close his eyes either. He has been thinking about the most difficult problem for him: when the Nanhu Artillery Brigade fired, their engineering battalion didn't even have pants, how to respond to the uprising? However, until dawn, the gunshots from the artillery camp were not heard. Xiong Bingkun finally figured it out at this time: feelings are brothers in the artillery camp. Just like himself, the trousers were also stolen by the team officer. No wonder there was no movement this night. . It was dawn, and after the most dangerous night, the captain let out a long sigh of relief, and sent the guards to send back the brothers' pants.Xiong Bingkun put on his trousers and went to the ground. First, he called Li Zeqian, a party member, and asked Li Zeqian to find an excuse to go out of the camp to have a look.Li Zeqian came back shortly after leaving and reported that the two organizations of the Gongjinhui and the Literature Society had been seized. The heads of Liu Fuji, Peng Chufan, and Yang Hongsheng were hanging on the tower. At this time, the gate was closed and the streets were empty.

Li Zeqian also brought back a piece of bad news: From the 15th Association to the Engineering Battalion, the streets along the way have been heavily besieged by banner soldiers. It is clear that the banner soldiers have already learned the news that the Engineering Battalion is going to riot, so they took such severe suppression means. The latter news made Xiong Bingkun extremely anxious.I know that with the passage of time, once the intense emotions of the engineering battalion have been exhausted, it will be more difficult to instigate the people to revolt at that time.On the contrary, the banner soldiers can take advantage of this time period to arrest the party members in the army one by one according to the list. If this continues, the consequences will be terrible.

After thinking about it, Xiong Bingkun decided to put all his eggs in one basket and take a risk.He ordered Li Zeqian to gather all the representatives of the revolutionary party from each team at his table during the meal, and he had something to say to everyone. When it was time to eat, some representatives of the revolutionary party came, but some did not. Those who came were all soldiers. Those who refused to come were all officers. Xiong Bingkun didn't want to talk nonsense about why the officers refused to come, but the general reason was that the officers didn't bother to follow Xiong Bingkun's command, and it was almost as good to let Xiong Bingkun go to them. Is there a reason for them to come to Xiong Bingkun to accept orders?

Whether this is the reason is hard to say, anyway, from now on, Xiong Bingkun has to shoulder the historical task of overthrowing the imperial power for three thousand years by himself. During the meal, Xiong Bingkun did not tell everyone that the Gongjinhui and the Literature Club had been seized. He lied to everyone sincerely: I just received an order from the headquarters, and the uprising changed from last night to tonight.So it's not surprising that you didn't hear the gunfire last night.Also, the headquarters ordered that the Nanhu Artillery Brigade take the lead in this incident, and our engineering battalion took the lead. Did you hear that clearly?

Everyone was puzzled: Old Xiong, why should our engineering battalion be the first to attack? Xiong Bingkun smiled and said: I also asked the same question at the headquarters at the time. Our engineering battalion is not comparable to other artillery battalions. They have guns and cannons, and we only have shovels for digging holes. Why don’t we let the artillery team come first? come?The headquarters explained: Our engineering battalion is defending the armory. No matter which battalion starts the attack, it has to come to us first to collect the bullets. If our engineering battalion does not move, other battalions will not be able to move if they want to.So, the headquarters ordered our engineering battalion to start first.

Oh, so it is.Everyone suddenly realized: But Old Xiong, we don't have a single bullet, so how do we act tonight? Xiong Bingkun said in surprise: Didn't you send three bullets to each of you yesterday?How can you say that there is not a single bullet? The representatives of the various parties said: Last night, when the team officers patrolled, they were afraid that the bullets would be found and locked up, so they secretly threw away the bullets. lost?Xiong Bingkun was furious: I don't care if you throw it away or not, anyway, the order from the headquarters has come down, so you can figure it out yourself.
