    The Governor¡¯s Office of Huguang was the key target of this uprising, and it was already beyond recognition in the hail of bullets.  When the whole city of Wuchang decided to establish a Hubei military government, it was discovered that the yamen could no longer be used as office space.  After discussion, everyone decided to requisition the Consultative Bureau building that had not been affected by the problem.

    The leader of the New Army came to the Consultative Bureau with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and found that everyone in the Bureau had already dispersed. Only Councilor Shen Weizhou was left to watch the scene.  Seeing a group of Qiu Ba walking into the building with murderous intent, Shen Weizhou came out in fear, offering smoke and bowing: "I wonder what you are doing here?"

    Cai Jimin is not only a member of the literary club of the revolutionary group and a member of the Gongjin Association, but also the deputy military academy (platoon leader) of the 29th Standard. He is regarded as a rare "top figure" among the uprising soldiers.  At this time, he lined up the crowd and stepped forward and said, "I wonder what I call you, sir?"

    "Shen Weizhou, also known as Qisheng, is from Badong and is a member of the Hubei Consultative Bureau." Shen Weizhou, about forty years old, respectfully introduced himself to a group of young men.

    Cai Jimin made a military salute: "Hello, Congressman Shen! We are revolutionary soldiers and have liberated Wuchang in the morning. We have three things to announce to you: First, we will use your bureau to establish the Hubei Military Government. Second,  I sincerely invite Mr. Tang, the chairman of your bureau, to come out to work. Thirdly, please send someone from your bureau to accept the Wuchang financial agency and be responsible for the military government¡¯s expenditure. Above."

    Shen Weizhou groaned as if he had toothache: "Sir, now that everyone in the Consultative Bureau has dispersed, what you said is really¡ª¡ª"

    "So, you don't agree?" Cai Jimin put his hand on his waist where he carried the gun intentionally or unintentionally.

    Shen Weizhou was agitated and quickly changed his words: "What I mean is that such a big matter cannot be decided by Councilor Shen? We should ask Speaker Tang to come out and make a decision."

    Cai Jimin looked cold: "Chen Shusan, accompany Mr. Shen to invite Speaker Tang. Now that the revolutionary army is on the rise, everything is urgent, so don't let everyone wait for too long. Otherwise, hum!"

    A cold snort made white hairs of sweat break out on Shen Weizhou's spine.

    ??Chen Shusan, whose name is Chen Lei and whose courtesy name is Shusan, is currently studying at Hubei Higher Industrial School founded by Sun Yuanqi.  He participated in the revolutionary work very early. The nine-pointed and eighteen-star flag now flying above the city of Wuchang was made by him and brothers Zhao Xueshi and Zhao Shimei.  He is not very well-known, but everyone must be familiar with his brother and revolutionary martyr Chen Tanqiu.

    Without saying a word, Chen Lei accompanied Shen Weizhou to find Speaker Tang.

    The so-called "Speaker Tang", whose real name is Tang Hualong, also named Jiwu, is from Qishui, Hubei Province. He graduated from the Japan University of Political Science and Law. He is currently the chairman of the Hubei Consultative Bureau and is a strong member of the constitutional faction.  In 1910, the first meeting of the Federation of Provincial Consultative Bureaus was held in Beijing, and he was elected chairman of the meeting.  Tang Hualong is not difficult to find. The cat is at home at the moment.  When he heard that the Revolutionary Party asked him to come out to do something, he naturally refused to do so: "How can he do such a stupid thing? I won't go out!"

    Because it was related to his own wealth and life, Shen Weizhou was on the sidelines trying to persuade him.  Hu Ruilin, who was also a member of the Consultative Bureau, also advised him for some unknown reason: "Ji Wu, it's not a problem if you always hide at home and can't get out! In Brother Yu's opinion, it's better to come forward and tell him directly.  Those revolutionary parties may be able to escape if they say, 'The civilized people don't know how to run the army and manage finances, so please choose someone else with high talents to avoid delaying important events.'"

    Hu Ruilin¡¯s meaning is very clear: If you go out to help the revolutionary party, the Qing government will counterattack in the future, but it may lose your head.  But this group of revolutionaries are all stupid young people. If you can't hide at home, they will think that you are resisting the revolution, and they might kill you right now!  To weigh the two, it is better to go out and deal with it now, and let's talk about the future later.

    After thinking for a long time, Tang Hualong had no choice but to bring seven or eight members to the Consultative Bureau.  By the time he arrived, the discussion had shifted to the most pressing issue at the moment: Who should be elected as the head of the Hubei military government?

    In fact, six months before the Wuchang Uprising, when the Literary Society, Gongjinhui and other groups held meetings, they also mentioned the issue of who should be elected as the temporary governor after the success of the revolution.  At that time, the leaders of the revolutionary groups, whether Liu Gong, Sun Wu, or Jiang Yiwu, although they each made important contributions in the revolutionary process, their prestige and ability were not enough to convince the masses and it was difficult to lead the masses.  The main leader of the Tongmenghui is a good choice, but Sun Yat-sen is far away overseas and is unlikely to return to China in the short term. He wants to invite Huang Xing and others to take charge of the overall situation, but they look down on the central provinces, which are the thoroughfares of nine provinces, and have been slow to come.  After much discussion, they came up with a candidate: Li Yuanhong.

    Li Yuanhong, courtesy name Song Qing, was born in Huangpi, Hubei Province. He graduated from Beiyang Naval Academy in his early years.  After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Zhang Zhidong appreciated him and followed him to Hubei to train the new army. He is currently the commander of the 21st Mixed Association (similar to the brigade commander in later generations).Yuanhong nodded immediately: "Wu Weisan is my student. His military ability and intellectual vision are superior to mine. With him, he can handle everything. I'm just adding icing on the cake, so why should I be so good and ugly? I think I should continue to hide my clumsiness.  It¡¯s good.¡±

    Cheng Dingguo, a soldier of the Eighth Battalion of the Engineering Battalion, was the hero who fired the first shot of the Wuchang Uprising. He was extremely courageous. At this time, he shouted loudly: "Now that the matter is over, do you intend to join the revolution or be loyal to the Qing court? Choose for yourself!"

    If Li Yuanhong was a die-hard member of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he would have killed himself in the Xiebu. Why did he flee to the staff's house and hide?  Why would they send cooks home to smuggle gold, silver and soft goods?  Since he wasn't dead before, he won't be dead now.  Seeing Cheng Dingguo's harsh words, Li Yuanhong had no choice but to follow everyone to Chu Wangtai in despair.

    ¡°You may say that Li Yuanhong has the spirit of a bastard, or you may say that he has a good reputation, but he is indeed very attractive.  The soldiers of the Eighth Engineering Battalion stationed at Chu Wangtai were delighted when they heard that Li Yuanhong had come to take charge of the overall situation, and lined up with guns raised to welcome him.  As the commander-in-chief, Wu Zhaolin was even more respectful to the teacher and greeted him from a distance.

    Li Yuanhong was wearing a green woolen mandarin jacket, a long gray woolen jacket, and a melon-skin cap, with a sad face and a look of extreme annoyance. When he saw Wu Zhaolin, he started to complain: "Wei San, why are you making a revolution? This is  It¡¯s about killing the nine tribes! You are extremely knowledgeable and qualified, so you should never get involved with the revolutionary party. If you don¡¯t make a revolution, you will be promoted quickly in the army, and you will never be able to become a commander within ten years.  Question! Please let everyone go back to camp quickly and discuss the aftermath in detail. If the trouble continues like this, there will be no end!"

    Ma Rong, who was standing next to Wu Zhaolin, was also a hero of Wuchang's Shouyi. When he heard this, he was furious: "You don't want a dog to sit on a sedan chair - you don't know how to be polite! If you let us go back to camp, do you want Ruicheng to send people to kill us one by one? You yesterday  I personally killed our comrade in the evening, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. I invited you here today, and you persuaded us to surrender. I think you are a complete traitor. Why not just chop him up!" After saying that, he drew his sword and chopped.

    People around were shocked and quickly stopped Ma Rong.  With his comrades on one side and his teacher on the other, Wu Zhaolin was in a dilemma and could only make peace with Xini.

    He first said to the revolutionaries around him: "Commander Li loves us very much. What he said just now is because everyone has been working too hard after a bloody night. He takes care of us and asks everyone to return to the camp to rest temporarily. It is not that he wants to wait for the Manchu Tatars in Ruicheng.  We are making peace. Please be patient and calm, Commander Li has his own way of maintaining the current situation."

    Turning around, he threatened Li Yuanhong in a low voice: "Commander, it's better not to say something nonsense! We comrades killed too many people last night, and it is inevitable that we will become addicted. If we offend them and act impulsively, I'm afraid  The commander doesn¡¯t look good, does he?¡±

    Li Yuanhong had been frightened by Ma Rong's knife for a long time, and he no longer dared to speak nonsense.

    Wu Zhaolin struck while the iron was hot: "We and the revolutionaries recovered Wuhan within half a day, which shows that the Qing court is unjust and people's mentality has changed. Now that Ruicheng and Zhang Huchen have left, the success of the Hubei revolution is just around the corner. The commander has always had great prestige and won the hearts of the military. It is over.  At this point, why not come out and maintain the overall situation?"

    Li Yuanhong didn't want to agree, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he just remained silent.

    While everyone was trying to persuade them, Cai Jimin, Liu Genzao and others were also sending people around to look for Li Yuanhong.  Wu Zhaolin was afraid that if Li Yuanhong stayed in the army too long and had a disagreement, he would be torn into pieces by the indignant soldiers. After hearing the news, he immediately took him straight to the consultation bureau.  When he arrived at the Consultative Bureau, Li Yuanhong saw that Tang Hualong, Liu Genzao, Wu Weizhou and other congressmen were present. He seemed to have gained confidence and was unwilling to take up the post of governor of the Hubei Military Government.

    Since the revolutionary party, the army, and the Consultative Bureau all recommended him to this position, he could not help but refuse.  Soon everyone wrote a notice to calm the people and asked Li Yuanhong to sign the word "Li" on it.

    ??The selection of the governor can be said to be forced by everyone in the future; once you sign the notice, you can't wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River.  Li Yuanhong trembled all over and said vaguely: "Everyone, don't harm me, don't harm me"

    Li Yidong was furious and pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Li Yuanhong: "You were such a high-ranking official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now that there is a revolution, you should have been shot. If we don't kill you, we will elect you to be the governor, and you still won't do it! I see you  Are you born with a servile nature, and you still want to wear the red hat of the Qing Dynasty? Why don't we destroy you and find someone else to take over? Two-legged toads are hard to find, so why don't you catch a lot of two-legged people?"

    Cai Jimin and Chen Lei were afraid that his gun would go off, so they quickly grabbed him.

    Being frightened by Li Yidong, Li Yuanhong trembled even more violently. He couldn't even speak clearly, but he still refused to sign.  Li Yidong couldn't hold himself back and directly wrote the word "Li" on the notice with a pen. He looked at Li Yuanhong proudly and said, "I signed it on your behalf. Let's see if you can deny it!"

    Seeing the words "Li Bubu, Governor of Hubei, Government of the Republic of China" and "August 20, 4609 Years of the Yellow Emperor" before and after the notice, Li Yuanhong couldn't help but be stunned, and even forgot to tremble.  (To be continued.
