Chapter 64 Section 6 Revolutionary Expenses shall be borne by oneself

Huang Xing arrived in Wuhan and served as the commander-in-chief of the Hankou People's Army, which greatly boosted the hearts of the Wuchang army and people. Because Li Yuanhong lied to the people of Wuhan with his eyes wide open: Huang Xing came here and brought ten thousand fresh troops, so that the students who are fighting bloody battles on the front line can breathe a sigh of relief.But in fact Huang Xing only brought thousands of people. However, it cannot be said that Li Yuanhong lied. In his life, Lao Li suffered only because he could not lie.Later generations commented that he was an honest man with mediocre abilities. Whether he was honest or mediocre, his characteristic was that he would only tell the truth regardless of time and occasion.A clever politician is able to shake his lips and tongue, turn his hands into clouds, turn his hands into rain, change from time to time, change orders from time to time, change orders from day to day, pick flowers from day to day... These skills, such as the honest man Li Yuanhong, cannot do.

Since Li Yuanhong can't lie, where are the ten thousand fresh troops he mentioned? On the way to Wuchang during the starry night. It is said that the sound of revolutionary gunfire in the three towns of Wuchang came out, especially after the establishment of the military government, revolutionary parties from all over China and even overseas rushed to Wuchang in groups carrying guns and dragging cannons. Ma Chaojun, an old revolutionary, was the first to respond. Who is Ma Chaojun? Ma Chaojun, male, from a poor family, went to Yokohama, Japan to find a way of life by taking the ferry "喼德" of Citigroup Company in order to make a living. After getting off the ship, the foreman took him to meet Sun Yat-sen first.Sun Yat-sen said: "Little Ma, it's just for food, which made you travel across the sea to Japan. This imperial court treats you really shamelessly."But what is the way out for Japan?If there is a way to survive, they would have left by themselves, how could they keep it for you?The reason why you can’t eat and wear clothes is only because of the scourge of the Manchu Qing. If you want to eat and wear clothes, you must rise up for revolution. Only when the revolution overthrows the corrupt rule of the Manchu Qing can you have food and food.

So Ma Chaojun asked: Mr. Sun, when do you think the revolution will succeed? Sun Yat-sen smiled and replied: Quick, but only 100 years. 100 years?Ma Chaojun was shocked: Then...Mr. Sun, how many people will die in the revolution? Sun Yat-sen said with a smile: Not too many, not too many, 200 million deaths is enough... ... I often go to see Mr. Sun and listen to him talk about revolutionary theory and the principles of saving the country and the people.I asked him: When can the revolution succeed?He said: It will take 100 years.Ask him again: How many people will be sacrificed to engage in revolution?He said: 200 million...

If it takes 100 years, 200 million people will die!Ma Chaojun was stunned by Sun Yat-sen's prediction about the prospect of the Chinese revolution.While he was in shock, Sun Yat-sen said in a leisurely manner: "Little Ma, let me tell you this, ordinary people don't have the courage to participate in such a tragic revolution."However, we must realize that only by sacrificing ourselves can we save the country. Ma Chaojun's blood was surging when he heard it: Well Mr. Sun, if you want to sacrifice 200 million people anyway, then count me in as one.From then on, Ma Chaojun joined Mr. Sun's Revolutionary Party and followed Sun Wen to fight in all directions. He fought in Zhennanguan and Guangxi Lu Rongting, and in Huanghuagang, Guangzhou, he fought with the subordinates of Li Zhun, the admiral of the Navy, with short guns.After these two bloody battles, Ma Chaojun has become an iron-blooded veteran. When he received a call from Huang Xing this time, Ma Chaojun immediately boarded a ferry at the port and shouted to the sailors: Come here, all of you, come here, Have you heard?The Wuhan Revolutionary Army has launched an uprising and succeeded. Even the revolutionary government has been established, and the revolution has succeeded... However, the Qing government will inevitably mobilize a large army to wipe out the Wuchang Revolutionary Government. If you are not busy with work, why not join my Overseas Chinese Death Squad, follow me to Wuchang, defend the revolutionary government, and fight bloody battles with the Qing soldiers.

The sailors on the ferry, most of whom were members of the League, were inexplicably excited when they heard the news, and immediately shouted: Let’s go together, we are going to Wuchang to participate in the revolution... By the way, resign before leaving, boss, you Let's pay the wages first. The owner of the ship was in a hurry, and grabbed Ma Chaojun: who are you, did you make such trouble?Is it easy for me, a small boss, to find a few employees? I'll let you take half of them away at once. Ma Chaojun pushed the boss away: Don’t make trouble, here is the business, the business is... I declare that this time the Overseas Chinese Death Squad will take care of their own board and lodging, pay for their own expenses, guns and ammunition have to be bought with their own money... that brother’s family money Many, by the way help me also buy a bullet.

More than 70 overseas Chinese who were committed to revolution were recruited on the spot, many of whom were from wealthy families and rich in actual combat capabilities. More than 100 people were quickly recruited, and they were divided into three squadrons. He served as the general captain, and three old overseas Chinese who had participated in the war served as sub-captains. Ben Hankou.After disembarking, the Cantonese detained in Hankou came one after another, and more than 20 people were taken away. The number of Cantonese death squads continued to increase. When Huang Xingfu arrived in Hankou, he immediately spotted Ma Chaojun, a group of Cantonese daredevils carrying banners. At that time, Huang Xing was so excited that he personally lectured everyone: Comrades from Guangdong, who are not far away thousands of miles away, comrades from other provinces will surely follow. And finally, the victory of the revolution is just around the corner.

A large number of party members went to Wuchang, and the revolutionary situation was obviously optimistic. At this time, Zhu Fuhuang, an old member of the alliance, traveled a long distance to Zhangde with his luggage and straw sandals on his shoulders. Zhangde, Huanshang Village. The place where Yuan Shikai lived in seclusion.
