    In the following week, nearly 2,000 soldiers of the 44th Mixed Association were divided into three groups and poured into Shaanxi like waves, approaching Xi'an.  The sudden arrival of the army was like a refreshing powder that calmed the heart and defeated the fire, quickly calming down the Ge Lao Hui and the Alliance Hui who were about to make a move.  There is no doubt that it would be unwise to hastily stage an uprising before the soldiers of the 44th Mixed Association have left Xi'an.

    Because Yang Du, Zhao Jingxing and others deliberately poured cold water on Shaanxi, the fire of revolution did not burn up.  But other provinces are not so lucky.

    On the morning of October 22, 1911, Tongmenghui members Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin led the Changsha New Army in response to the Wuchang Uprising, occupied the Ordnance Bureau, besieged the governor's office, and killed the patrol battalion commander Huang Zhonghao. Governor Yu Gecheng fled with his family and Da Yin.  Hunan announced its recovery, and 24-year-old Jiao Dafeng became the governor of the Hunan military government of the Republic of China.

    Hunan was the first province to respond after the first uprising in Wuchang, which was only 12 days away.  The reason lies in the civilized atmosphere and changes in people's mentality in Hunan in modern times.  Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, and Chen Tianhua are all from Hunan.  In the early membership roster of the Tongmenghui in 1905 and 1906, members from Hunan accounted for 16%, ranking second after Guangdong.  Moreover, the relationship between the revolutionary parties in Hunan and Hubei is particularly close, and the broken bones are connected with the tendons. Therefore, when Hubei takes action, Hunan also takes advantage of the situation.

    The successive victories in Hubei and Hunan stimulated young and passionate revolutionary parties everywhere.

    On the night of October 23, Ma Yubao, the 53rd Biao Commander of the 27th Mixed Association of the New Army stationed in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, led an uprising and captured the Dao and Fu Yamen, as well as the Hukou and Madang fortresses, and established the Military and Political Branch of the Republic of China Garrison in Xun.  government, and appointed himself governor.  Jiujiang was restored.

    On October 25, the new army in Yuezhou, Hunan revolted and Yuezhou was restored.  On the same day, Fengshan, the new Guangzhou general of the Qing court, arrived in Guangdong from Shanghai to take up his post. He was killed by a bomb by the revolutionary Li Peiji.

    On October 27, Zhang Wenguang, a member of the Yunnan Tengyue Alliance, contacted the New Army and Fangying to revolt. The general soldier committed suicide and the officials fled.  Subsequently, Zhang Wenguang was promoted to the governor of western Yunnan.

    ¡­¡­

    Seeing that the revolution has become a prairie fire, everyone in the Hubei military government is both happy and worried.  The good news is that the victory of the revolution is in sight. As the first hero and founding father of the country, I will surely prosper in the future.  The worry is that he is very likely to die a second before victory arrives, and this probability is very high.  Hubei was the first place to initiate rebellion, and the Qing court hated it. Hubei was also an important passage to the south, shielding southern provinces such as Hunan and Jiangxi. If the Qing court wanted to suppress the rebellion, it should first crush the Hubei Army in Wuchang.  government.

    Facts have proved this.

    After Yuan Shikai came out of the mountain, he immediately mobilized his troops and generals and ordered the Beiyang Army to move south quickly.  When the Beiyang Army generals saw Yuan Shikai coming out of the mountain, they changed their previous procrastination and laziness and ran towards Wuhan like clockwork. They quickly completed their assembly in Xiaogan and Huangpi, more than a hundred miles away from Hankou.

    At dawn on October 27, the main force of the Beiyang Army completed pre-war preparations and launched a fierce attack on the revolutionary army in the Qijiawan and Shekou areas.  Sa Zhenbing led a naval ship to the vicinity of Liujiamiao and covered the revolutionary army's position with fierce artillery fire. In an instant, the position was filled with smoke and shrapnel flew across the battlefield.

    As the saying goes: "New recruits are afraid of cannons, veterans are afraid of machine guns." Most of the revolutionary army is new recruits, and they don't know how to build fortifications. When they hear the sound of cannons, they jump out of the trenches in fear and scramble around the position like headless flies.  If you run, you will either be mowed down by the machine gun from the opposite side, or torn into pieces by the next artillery shell. The broken limbs and broken arms are scattered in every corner of the position like a goddess scattering flowers, stimulating more recruits to jump out of the trenches in terror.  .  The red soil that had been blown soft turned brown because it was soaked in blood. The faces of the sacrificed soldiers turned pale, and they had long lost the luster of their youth. Their eyes stared blankly at the sky polluted by the smoke and war.

    "In less than ten minutes, some members of the stunned revolutionary army poured out of the trenches and retreated to the rear. Everyone followed suit, and eventually it turned into a chaotic rout.  The Beiyang Army took advantage of the victory and pursued it until they reached the vicinity of Hankou city.  From Liujiamiao to the urban area of ??Hankou, the corpses of revolutionary army soldiers were scattered all the way. The total number was at least 2,000.

    That night, the Hankou military government ordered Zhang Jingliang, the commander of Liujiamiao, to be shot, and appointed Jiang Mingjing as the temporary commander-in-chief.  Soon after Jiang Mingjing took office, he received news: Feng Guozhang and his elite Beiyang troops had arrived on the outskirts of Hankou, preparing to advance by water at three o'clock the next morning to capture Hankou.  Jiang Mingjing's hands and feet suddenly became numb and he was at a loss. He said to the people around him: "The situation is over! I don't want to be the commander-in-chief anymore. Let's all run for our lives!" At midnight, under the pretext of surveying the terrain and patrolling the sentry, he actually did it.  escaped.

    The commander-in-chief has fled, how can we still fight this battle?  After hearing the news, the soldiers also fled.

    As a last resort, the military government decided to?Xie Yuankai temporarily acted as infantry commander, and Cai Demao served as artillery commander.  Xie Yuankai was originally the captain of the left team of the 3rd battalion of the 30th standard of the 15th Infantry Association of the 8th town, and Cai Demao was the captain of the 2nd battalion of the 8th standard of the 8th town artillery. They were both similar to the later company commanders, and they had some skills.  Of course, it's just some skills.  In the battle on the 28th, both men were killed, leaving the army without a leader, and the position of commander-in-chief had to be changed again.

    Just when the situation on the frontline was rapidly deteriorating, Huang Xing rushed to Wuhan from Shanghai with Song Jiaoren, Feng Ziyi and others.  Huang Xingda's arrival was warmly welcomed by the military and civilians of Wuhan.  The Wuchang military government sent people to hold high the banner of "Huang Xing arrives" and marched throughout the three towns of Wuhan. The people were all happy and excited.

    After meeting with Li Yuanhong, Li Yuanhong took the initiative to express his willingness to cross the river to supervise the war.  Li Yuanhong was worried because there was no one in the position of commander-in-chief. He was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately ordered people to make two large flags with the word "yellow" one foot and two feet long, and selected thousands of veterans from various agencies and units as well as students who volunteered.  When accompanying Huang Xing across the river, there was a person in front of the team carrying a large flag. The purpose was to let people know that Huang Xing had arrived at Hankou to supervise the battle; as for the other side, it was placed at the entrance of Huang Xing's command post to boost the morale of the troops.  ¡ª¡ªIf the soldiers and civilians of Wuhan knew that Huang Xing's nickname was the "Invincible General" who was "undefeated", I wonder if the military morale would be lifted?

    Looking at Huang Xing's military career, he almost never had a victory. On the one hand, it was because he was always indecisive. Almost every time he fought with others, his army was weak in soldiers, horses, weapons, and food and fodder. The opponent was defeated.  But he is in the limelight; on the other hand, he is a soldier who has never entered a formal military academy, so his military quality is not high.

    On the other hand, the Beiyang Army at this time was well-equipped and well-trained. Under the command of Yuan Shikai, Feng Guozhang and other battlefield veterans, it was rolling in with the power of victory. How could Huang Xing, a talented scholar, be able to resist it?  Therefore, defeat was almost doomed. The key was just how many days Huang Xing could last.

    Just when the war in Wuhan was in full swing, Sun Yuanqi, Yang Du and his party arrived in Xi'an under the escort of the 3rd Battalion of the 87th Biao.  When Governor Geng of Shaanxi and Gansu, Qian Nengxun, the governor of Shaanxi, General Wen Rui of Xi'an and others saw Sun Yuanqi arriving, they seemed to have seen their relatives. Their eyes were full of tears and they said with trembling voices: "Master Sun, you are finally here!"

    Their excitement is not fake.  Although Shaanxi is the political, economic and cultural center of the northwest region, due to its barren land and poor people, it has no ability to develop a strong military force to control the situation in the province.  And Shaanxi borders Sichuan and Hubei, which are currently in turmoil. However, the 39th Mixed Association, which was regarded as the backbone of officials in the province, was recently transferred away from Shaanxi. How can they not panic?

    After the Wuchang Uprising, the whole province was shocked, and the revolutionary party was even more ready to move.  The government scouts were out in all directions, and they had learned from various channels that the Tongmenghui and Ge Laohui were going to cause trouble recently, but they had no troops available. In addition to transferring all the remaining new troops away from Xi'an, they could only sit in sleepy city.  The 44th Mixed Association under Sun Yuanqi entered Shaanxi, and the situation suddenly reversed.  How can this not make Shaanxi officials, big and small, elated?

    Yang Du looked at him with a smile on his face, but secretly cursed in his heart: When I see Mr. Sun again in ten days, will you still be able to laugh?

    After everyone had finished greetings, Jiang Zuobin paid a military salute to the Shaanxi officials: "My lords, my subordinate Jiang Zuobin, named Yuyan, is appointed as the commander of the 3rd battalion of the 87th standard of the 44th mixed association. I am now responsible for your safety and security.  Work. Your Excellency, with the great support of the people at home, went to Sichuan to suppress the rebellion, and your safety is not trivial. The last time your Excellency was assassinated in the Northeast, we have learned from the past. In order to guard against the Sichuan rebellious party, we want to temporarily take charge of some city defense tasks while your Excellency is stationed in Xi'an. I don't know.  What do you think, gentlemen?"

    Shaanxi officials, large and small, have long been wary of local recruits, wishing that Sun Yuanqi could lead his thousands of troops to stay in Xi'an to protect their lives and property.  Now that I saw Jiang Zuobin making this request, I felt like I was sleeping on a pillow. I immediately agreed, fearing that Jiang Zuobin would regret it: "Okay, okay, okay, while Mr. Sun is staying in Xi'an, the entire city defense of Xi'an belongs to you! Come, take this guy with you.  General Jiang goes to take over the city defense!"

    Yang Du and Jiang Zuobin smiled at each other: Great job is done!

    Sun Yuanqi entered Xi'an City accompanied by Chang Geng, Qian Nengxun and others, leaving Jiang Zuobin to hand over defense with the Shaanxi New Army.  The person in charge of the handover of the Shaanxi New Army was a young man of about thirty years old. As soon as he showed up, Jiang Zuobin greeted him: "Senior Brother Xiangchu, please come and be safe!"

    The visitor¡¯s name was Zhang Fenghui, also known as Xiangchu. He was admitted to the Shaanxi Army Military Preparation School in 1902.  After graduation, due to his excellent grades, he was sent by the government to study in Japan.  He first entered the Zhenwu School in Tokyo, and in 1906 was promoted to the cavalry section of the sixth phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. He was classmates with Zhao Jingxing, Jiang Zhiqing, Cheng Qian, and Yan Xishan, so he was naturally Jiang Zuobin's senior brother.

    In 1909, Zhang Fenghui returned to China and successively served as a member of the Shaanxi New Army Supervisory Training Office, a staff officer and staff officer at the 39th Mixed Brigade Headquarters, and as a leader of the Second Standard and First Battalion.

    Zhang Fenghui was also filled with surprises when he saw Jiang Zuobin: "Junior Brother Yuyan, why do you have time to come to Xi'an?" (To be continued.
