At night, a train was running fast on the Luhan Line. The front of the car was mixed with Mars of all sizes, which could be seen clearly for miles away. The deafening howling sound and whistle sound were even more noise killers that disturbed the dreams in the dead of night.

Thanks to the railway that opened to traffic in the past few years, the original distance of hundreds of miles has been shortened to only a few hours.

The Imperial Guards arrived and rushed straight to Wuchang City.

In fact, before the train arrived at the train station, the officers and soldiers on the train had heard the fierce gunfire sound from the direction of Wuchang City. Looking at the red sky, everyone was anxious.

"Everyone runs forward!" Shubiao, the imperial guards coming out of the carriage were all full of energy, and did not show any sleepiness because of the late night.

"Brothers, Wuchang is in chaos. Our mission is to quell the rebellion, to annihilate the rebellion, to protect the imperial envoys, and to rescue the brothers of the vanguard! Do you understand?"

"I understand." The scream of a very breath, and the queue started the entire line as fast as possible.

"Very good!" Liangbi waved his hand, "Start and target Wuchang City!"

"Kill!" At dawn, when the officers and soldiers were still trying their best to besiege the imperial envoy's garrison, reinforcements from the Imperial Guard arrived.

The Imperial Guards were originally struggling to resist, but later they heard the dense gunfire coming from behind the revolutionary party and the chaos of the opponent's straits and it was inferred that reinforcements must have come. After fighting alone for almost the entire second half of the night, Chen Huan could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and Cen Chunxuan, Zhou Xuexi and others' hearts that had been hanging over were also relieved.

On Chuwangtai, Sun Chuanfang was still leading his men to resist bravely. After the Revolutionary Party used suicide squads to launch several rounds of attacks, Chuwangtai's armory has become a completely Shura field. There are corpses and broken limbs and broken arms everywhere. The scene of corpses and blood in the sea of ​​corpses can almost be remembered forever by everyone.

The more people attacked, the fewer the nerves became, the tighter the more they became. After receiving the news that the Imperial Guard reinforcements arrived and joined forces with the imperial guards to launch a large counterattack across the city, the Imperial Guards, who were only a few dozen people, once again cheered up and became braver the more they fought. Although the Revolutionary Party opposite them enriched their strength several times and transferred several mountain cannons to cooperate with the attack and cover, they still did not show signs that they could chew this hard bone.

The more than 100 guards were nailed tightly on this land like a steel nail, and could not be shaken at all. The revolutionary party rushed in like a tide and retreated like a tide. Although the momentum was huge, it only witnessed the tenacity and indomitableness of the reef.

At dawn, the offensive and defensive forces on the battlefield changed positions, and the two parts of the imperial guards joined hands to launch a large counterattack. With the effective cooperation of the new forces, the revolutionary party retreated step by step and his morale declined. Although the backbone of the revolutionary party was still deceiving ordinary officers and soldiers not to surrender, and they were still desperately describing the terrible consequences of falling into the hands of the enemy, the situation was unforgivable. Many people either took advantage of excuses to escape or seized the opportunity to jump over.

By the evening of the next day, the gunshots in Wuchang City finally fell silent, and the fire that had burned for a whole day and a night was gradually extinguished. The revolution involved in the matter either became cold corpses on the ground, trembling prisoners or surrenders, or became panic-crossing rats, disguised and fled.

Song Jiaoren, Sun Wu and others, who had been responsible for command tasks, saw that the army was defeated and knew that the situation was going to be. They only had a sad ending. Although they were unwilling to accept it, they could only accept it. They changed into the clothes of the people, took advantage of the turmoil in the city and then disappeared into the vast crowd. Until the next time they were engaged in the event, they were active. This kind of propaganda and the keenness of withdrawing from the revolutionaries constituted the "most valuable" quality of the revolutionaries.

The sky gradually darkened again, and was supported by someone, and when inspecting the Supervisory Office, which had turned into rubble, Chen Kuilong couldn't help crying loudly and was about to faint. Seeing those subordinates on the ground who were familiar but still had a ferocious look when they died, Li Yuanhong's mentality was extremely complicated. Whether standing on one side or standing on the other side to oppose himself, they could not change the fact that they were all the mainstays of the Hubei New Army.

"Luckily you feel it in time, otherwise..." When Chen Huan, Jiang Fangzhen, Liangbi and others who survived the disaster expressed their gratitude, they did not forget to describe the horror of the revolutionary party last night, "It almost..."

"Look, aren't we here now? We cooperate with each other inside and outside, and they can't resist it!"

"It's a pity that many brothers have been damaged." When Chen Huan thought of this, his face was a little dim.

"I will identify them one by one and be buried well. In the future, I will report to Emperor Ming, and I will give them pensions and rewards." Liang Bi was also quite sad, "Fortunately, we finally defeated the Revolutionary Party, and their blood did not flow in vain."

Chen Kuilong walked around a few times, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he asked anxiously: "Have the culprit been caught?"

"No." Zhao Bingjun spread his hands helplessly, "The revolutionary mastermind is as cunning as a loach. He has already arranged everything two days ago. This time, maybe he has already lost his feet."

"If I catch them, I will have to cut them into pieces to relieve my hatred."

Cen Chunxuan glanced coldly: "Wuchang would never have changed so much, so you go back and listen to the ginseng. Whether to punish the crime depends on the emperor's intention."

"Yes, yes! I am guilty of being a humble position!" When I heard Guan Tu raise his sword, Chen Kuilong was completely shattered, but he had no choice but to cover his face and leave.

The focus of his eyes suddenly came to Li Yuanhong again. Li Yuanhong lowered his head and said nothing. Cen Chun thought for a long time before finally sighing: "Zhengqing, you should go back and wait for the opportunity to fall, but don't worry, you won't make things too difficult for you."

"I am guilty of low-ranking positions, I am guilty." Li Yuanhong murmured to himself, but could not speak any words of excuse.

"I don't deny the guilt, but the disposal is questionable. At present, you still have to cooperate with the Imperial Guard to gather the remaining troops and identify them one by one." Cen Chun said harshly, "These things are done."

You can make the merits worthy of your sins, otherwise it will be a sin that will be a sin."

"Yes, yes!" Li Yuanhong was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He just retreated with timidity.

"Print a telegram to the capital. I said: The Wuchang rebellion has been put down. The bandits have stopped, the bandit leader fled, and the ministers are waiting to restore order and calm the people's hearts..."

In the Palace of Peaceful Heart, Lin Guangyu couldn't help but send a message of emotion as he looked at the telegram and the report on the causes and consequences.

The Wuchang Revolutionary Party's actions were extremely successful at first. Relying on its advantages in operation for many years, revolutionary groups such as the Qunzhi Academy took advantage of the years of operation to take advantage of some corrupt officers such as Zhang Biao and were dissatisfied and resentful of the military's oppression and resentment for many years of repression and resentment in the army. They successfully launched a trouble, causing an unprecedented chaos.

In this chaos, the political methods and behavior methods of the revolutionary party have been greatly improved compared to before. From the beginning of this chaos, the revolutionary party has carried out a series of actions inciting the association party to carry out affairs, inducing the new army to suppress, instigate the new army to mutiny, and instigating the new army to mutiny. The cooperation is sophisticated, the conception is so clever, and the means are so sophisticated. It is as if a clever boxer has made a series of combined punches. The fist swept towards the opponent like a storm.

To be honest, among the thousands of new troops, there were only a few hundred people in the real iron-core revolutionary party, but these hundreds of people were extremely powerful in their movements. They cleverly turned the dissatisfaction of ordinary officers and soldiers to their dissatisfaction with the current regime. They finally played a big role. Taking Zhang Biao's two standards as an example, the soldiers who caused trouble were only venting their dissatisfaction and did not have any idea of ​​rebellion. However, as the revolutionary party repeatedly incited and promoted the flames, small conflicts escalated into major conflicts, verbal conflicts, and physical conflicts were upgraded to armed conflicts. However, after the public's fear of being punished gained the upper hand, this hijacking effect became increasingly apparent.

This situation can be changed unless there is greater power or deeper effect.

—

The defenders of Wuchang City obviously could not meet this condition. Under the attack of the revolutionary army, the entire city defense system and even the command center were shaky. This not only stimulated the ambition and morale of the rebels, but also stimulated the bloodiness of the soldiers being held. When all the hatred, dissatisfaction, and anger in the past vented through the channels of national justice, the power itself exceeded the expectations of the man who manipulated the power, and far exceeded the expectations of the original power designer.

Chen Kuilong did not expect that Zhang Nanpi had been in business for more than 10 years and spent a lot of manpower and materials. The new army troops were so unreliable. The young officers at all levels who had always relied on the Great Wall, especially those who had studied abroad, were so unreliable. On the contrary, the patrol battalion, which was usually notorious and had low combat power, chose loyalty and his political attitude at critical moments.

This is a really nightmare!

Li Yuanhong did not expect that his hard work and the construction of the 21-year-old mixed association was so unexpected. When facing the former robes, he felt a burst of pain in his heart. This was not only the pain of the division of the troops, but also the pain of his own leadership of his troops. 10 years of hard work disappeared without a shadow in such an unexpected night...>Julian himself was about to fall into it.

What is this for?

No one knows the reason. Chen Long is not clear, Li Yuanhong is not clear, even Cen Chunxuan, Chen Huan, Liangbi and others are not clear, and even Sun Wu, Song Jiaoren and others, who are the initiators, are not clear.

Only Lin Guangyu knew part of the reason. He was guarding against the Wuchang incident. He pointed out the chaos in Wuchang in a presumptive way, but he was not a wizard after all, and he could not estimate and clearly point out the past and after the Wuchang incident. Fortunately, he sent an imperial envoy and a guard guard. But it can be understood in this way that if there were no such clear target as the imperial envoy arrived in Hubei, Wuchang's incident might not have happened.

Between accident and necessity, some people see chance, and some people see necessity. Whether there is accident in necessity or accident is an manifestation of necessity is quite worthy of reminiscence, which is the unpredictability of politics. But for military experts, what they are interested in may be just inferences during the battle.

The revolutionary party chose a good time and planned a good combat plan. According to the original idea, through the robbery of the armory, the full mobilization of peripheral forces and the control of dangerous agencies, this incident may not be without the elements to be successful. However, at two key points, the revolutionary party made unforgivable mistakes.

First, it was not able to take the Chuwangtai Armory, and it did not concentrate its efforts to attack this important place first. If the Revolutionary Party’s original offensive method, taking the armory under the internal and external cooperation of some defenders in Chuwangtai and obtaining reliable arms support was the basis for the next military operation, it was never expected that the 100 troops led by Sun Chuwangfang would keep a close eye on the armory and truly stick to it for 12 hours;

Second, the strength of the Imperial Guards was not correctly measured. In the eyes of the Revolutionary Party, the Imperial Guards had less than 1,000 people and no heavy weapons. If they were to be taken down, the coordinated combat power of the Guards was several times higher than that of the New Army, and the combat weapons they had in their hands further enhanced their strength. If it were not for the desperate resistance of the Imperial Guards, Wuchang City would have changed the king's flag long ago.

It is these two seemingly insignificant reasons that have become the turning point in the revolutionary party's success.

A few days later, the imperial edict announced: "Former Huguang Governor Chen Kuilong, who was in prison for local affairs and was slacking off his personal duties. He was relieved of the title of Hubei Governor and handed over to the department for interrogation; Li Yuanhong, the New Army's 21st Mixed Association, was appointed as the commander of the Eighth Town of the Army for many years, and the former 21st Affiliated... Zhang Biao, the former commander of the Eighth Town, was related to many situations, and was relieved of all dismissals and waited for the defeat."
