    Now let us turn our attention back to Hubei.

    The unlucky Governor Li Yuanhong, who still didn¡¯t know that he was the ¡°misfortune and blessing¡±, saw Li Yidong sign the word ¡°Li¡± on the notice for him, and all his strength seemed to be drained, and he suddenly collapsed into a ball.

    The revolutionaries didn¡¯t care about Li Yuanhong¡¯s feelings at all, and happily took out the notice and pasted it.  To be honest, the Revolutionary Party asked Li Yuanhong to serve as the interim governor, not because they wanted him to preside over the overall situation and handle government affairs. They just wanted to use his reputation to appease the people in the city and gather the officers and soldiers who had fled in hiding.  Seeing that Li Yuanhong was quite resistant to the revolution, everyone did not bother to spend time convincing him. They sent him directly to the upper floor of the Consultative Bureau and placed people under strict guard before going their separate ways.

    Li Yuanhong sat silently in the room alone, looking depressed.  Thinking back to twenty-four hours ago, I was still the leader of the Huncheng Association with more than 4,000 people in charge, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and an important military and political official in Hubei. Who could have imagined that just one day later, I had become a lonely prisoner and a rebel of the Qing Dynasty?  , the temporary governor of the Revolutionary Party?  Now that things have happened, what should we do next?

    suicide?  He didn't dare.

    ??????????????????????????????????????? He did not want.

    It seems that the only way to survive is to escape.  But there are dozens of student soldiers guarding the outside. They don't know who Li Yuanhong is, and they won't give themselves, the former co-president and current interim governor, any face!

    Just when Li Yuanhong was racking his brains, God seemed to have heard his pleading and gave him a chance to escape.

    This was the first day after the victory of the Wuchang Uprising. The situation in the city had not yet stabilized. Among them, more than 300 Manchu soldiers from the 30th Target of the 15th Infantry Association of the Eighth Town fled to Snake Mountain and hid.

    Why are they hiding?  We also need to start with the origins of the revolution.

    Since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the estrangement between Manchu and Han has been a huge thorn in the head of the government's ambitions, which is always painful.  Although the emperors shouted that "Manchus and Han people are one family," in real life, the Manchus enjoyed various privileges and the court took strict precautions against the Han people, which everyone saw and heard with their own eyes.  Therefore, every time an uprising breaks out, slogans such as "Drive out the Tartars" and "Reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty" are indispensable.  As time goes by, this gap is not gradually disappearing, but getting bigger and bigger.

    Especially in recent times, the wave of nationalism has swept across China. Under the operation of some people with ulterior motives, books such as "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou", "Jiading Massacre Chronicles", and "Remains on the River" describe the massacre of Han people by the Manchus in the early Qing Dynasty.  It was widely circulated in the country, and young students were all filled with righteous indignation after reading it. Just like today's patriots who are angry and want to annihilate Tokyo and kill all the Japanese slaves, they also want to clean up all the Manchus in the country.

    Sun Yat-sen¡¯s revolutionary thought also started from this point, and he took advantage of the situation and used the passion of young people to promote racism.  Whether it is the Xingzhong Association established in 1894 or the Tongmenghui established in 1905, the first two items of the program are "to expel the Tartars and restore China", and then it is the turn to "establish the United Government" or "establish the Republic of China", which fully illustrates  The revolution led by Sun Yat-sen was first a national revolution, and only then could it be said to be a bourgeois democratic revolution.

    ¡°Perhaps Sun Yat-sen had his own reasons, and the situation forced him to do this.  Because he cannot collect donations or comrades without using such extreme slogans. Without donations and comrades, he will achieve nothing and can only continue to be a bad doctor.  But blindly promoting racism not only fails to integrate with the international community, but also cannot be distinguished from the Tiandi Hui, White Lotus Sect, and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had a bad reputation before. Therefore, relying on his partial understanding of the systems of European and American countries, he added the "creation of cooperation"  The tail end of "public governments" and "establishing the Republic of China and equalizing land rights".

    The group of revolutionaries who led the Wuchang Uprising did not know Sun Yat-sen's difficulties. They only fixed their eyes on the four characters "Expelling the Tartars". This can be seen from the "Proclamation of Hubei Governor Li of the Government of the Republic of China" drafted by them.  For example, "It is only because of the tyranny of a foreign race that I abandoned you like a legacy", "It should be noted that the current Manchu government is not our Han son", "The thieves ate my flesh in the past, but now I am sleeping on their skin", "Together we are trying to regain our cause, the Han family  "The establishment of the ZTE" and "Scholars, peasants, businessmen and people will all chase the Hu'er together", all of which reveal the racist atmosphere of incompatibility between Manchu and Han.

    It would be easy to recover Wuchang, but how to drive out the Tartars?  Should we drive them back to the north now, or should we arrest them first and imprison them before deporting them?  In any case, there are practical difficulties.  After much deliberation, killing is undoubtedly the simplest, crudest and most effective method, and even a small number of impatient ordinary soldiers have begun to implement it.

    Fortunately, the Manchus in Hubei mainly live in Jingzhou, and there are not many in Wuchang.  Among the few Manchus, they were mainly Jingzhou flag soldiers who were sent to the Hubei New Army for training.

    Kangxi 20th year?And they also have a great numerical advantage.  As the saying goes: "Kill the master with random punches." What's more, their opponent is not a master, but a rookie who has just started?  Almost as soon as the battle began, the students fell into passivity and could only continue to reduce the guard force and go all out to fight against the incoming Jingzhou flag soldiers.

    So, Li Yuanhong¡¯s chance to escape came.

    Li Yuanhong was admitted to the Tianjin Beiyang Naval Academy in 1883, joined the Navy in 1888, and participated in the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894. After the war, he came to Hubei to train the new army. Until now, he has been in the army for nearly thirty years and is a good man.  Home hands.  As soon as he heard the sound of gunfire outside, he knew he had an opportunity.  A few minutes later, he tiptoed open the door, easily bypassed the sentry guard, went down from the window to the backyard, climbed over the wall, and ran into the secluded deep alley.

    Before walking a few steps, I heard shouts mixed with gunshots in the distance: "Masters, work harder, those students and kids can't stand it anymore! We broke into the consultation bureau and killed the dog thief Li Yuanhong.  Let¡¯s ask Ruibu Tang and Zhang Tongzhi for credit! When the time comes, we will be the most popular, the best drinkers, the best smokers, and the best prostitutes!¡±

    "Come into the Consultative Bureau and kill the Li dog thief alive!"

    "Work hard to kill thieves and serve the country with loyalty!"

    Li Yuanhong suddenly froze, and his whole body seemed to be enveloped in cold air.  But in just a few seconds, he woke up and ran towards his house.  (To be continued.
