Chapter 39 Chapter 7 bloody massacre

A gunshot on the Chu Watch Tower brought revolution and riots to Hubei.The party members who were originally guarded by the chiefs of the standard battalions all took this opportunity to rush out, Xingye rushed to Chu Wangtai to meet Xiong Bingkun. In the dark night, clusters, clusters, and teams were all revolutionaries rushing towards Chuwangtai in the dark. First came more than a hundred brothers from the 30th mark, and then, Cai Jimin, the most popular member of the revolutionary party, also came with more than a hundred people—the revolutionaries after that will make the revolution a success tonight. The reason for this is that Cai Jimin himself was present, but in fact, the revolutionary brother Cai was shot randomly by Wu Zhaolin, who was the least willing to revolutionize.

More than a hundred students from the surveying and mapping school also came. The number of rebels soared by hundreds and hundreds. Wu Zhaolin let out a long breath of relief.He knows that from now on, the uprising will be considered to have entered the formal stage, and this means: Brutal killing and bloodshed. In Wuchang City, all schools sent representatives to collect bullets from the Chu Watch Tower. Xu Qiming from the Army No. 3 Middle School was also among these representatives. According to his description of what he saw along the way: ... I was only eighteen or nineteen years old this year, and I had longed for the revolution for a long time, so I didn't feel afraid at all, but I couldn't help being shocked when I saw the uprising soldiers in the Eighth Town murder the bannermen, the old, the weak, women and children.I saw with my own eyes an old man was dragged out of the house and a soldier stabbed him.Many banner people lived next to the Chu Watchtower, there were many dead bodies, and the gutters were full of blood.We used to say: It is not good to kill children.Those soldiers said: That is the bannerman.We say: the revolution cannot kill people casually.They only replied: Ten days in Yangzhou, three massacres in Jiading.It can be seen that this kind of slogan based on ethnic hatred has penetrated into the hearts of ordinary Han people. Once there is an incident, they will retaliate with anger...

Bannermen, old and young, were slaughtered, and this was due to the backward military system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Although the Qing Dynasty, under the insistence of Rong Lu Tieliang and others, spared no expense to build a new army.But because they were afraid of the new army's uprising, they transferred the bannermen to guard the new army, but these bannermen still followed the old system, and even the layout of the barracks was based on families. With families and dependents, all the old and young live in the barracks, and even children are born in the barracks. Banner soldiers in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were the benefit class who enjoyed special state allowances. When a man became a banner soldier, he not only received his own rations, but what he received was called male rations, and his wife also received a share, called female rations. Participation... These special interest classes are nothing more than ordinary people at the lower level, but when the revolutionary trend broke out, the banner soldiers were the first to bear the brunt and became the first sacrifices.

The flag soldiers had guns and cannons in their hands, but their women and children were unarmed, especially those old and weak women and children, who became the key targets of the revolution. The old and young women and children were all killed, and the next to be killed were the banner soldiers who fled in all directions. To kill all the Bannermen, you must first capture the Supervisory Office, which is the base camp of the Thirty Bannermen.Just as Wu Zhaolin was lining up his troops, bad news came from the mountain: The right-hand army Kuang Minggong and Cai Jimin failed to attack the supervisory office, and they have retreated to the Jinshui gate and are on standby.

Hearing this news, Wu Zhaolin was furious, and immediately ordered: Kuang Gongming lost his opportunity before the battle, and he should be executed according to the law. Take his head to see. After all, Wu Zhaolin is a sensible person. Both Kuang Gongming and Cai Jimin were defeated. He only ordered the killing of the officer Kuang Gongming, but he did not dare to kill the party member Cai Jimin. After all, the Revolutionary Party is really not easy to mess with.
