Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    No. 14 Baoshanli is a small building with a single courtyard. Since it is in the Russian Concession in Hankou, although there are many people coming and going every day, the Indian patrol will not care about anything. After all, there are many Chinese doing business in the concession.  There are also busier ones.

    As soon as Liu Tong arrived at the door, he saw party member Tang Zihong. Seeing that he had a thick roll wrapped under his ribs, he quickly approached him and asked, "Brother Tang, what is this?"

    Tang Zihong is an old man of the literary club. He has been responsible for peripheral work since he decided to hold the uprising. He admires Liu Gong for donating so much money. Besides, Liu Gong is also the unofficial prime minister, so he doesn't hide it when he sees that he is his younger brother.  : "This is the eighteen-star flag, we just made it."

    "Eighteen-star flag? Can you show it to me?"

    Liu Tong had never seen the Eighteen-Star Flag, so he was very curious. Since there were no outsiders, Tang Zihong simply unfolded the flag. The flag was as tall as one person and wider than both arms when unfolded.

    Tang Zihong saw that Liu Tong didn't understand, and explained: "The black nine corners represent Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yong Jiuzhou recorded in "Yu Gong", and the 18 small yellow round stars represent the 18  Province, it means that the 18 provinces worked together to overthrow the Manchu Tatars, and when the big thing is done, maybe this will be the national flag!"

    "Really!" Liu Tong's eyes flashed with excitement: "So on the day of the uprising, this flag will be planted in the Governor's Mansion?"

    "Of course, it's not only necessary to insert it into the Governor's Mansion, but also at every city gate, barracks, government office, and even at the street entrance. When you walk on the street, you will be the younger brother of the prime minister of the military government. It's so majestic!"

    Tang Zihong became more and more excited as he talked, but Liu Tong suddenly felt something was wrong and asked: "That's wrong, why are there only eighteen provinces? Northeast, Mongolia, Taiwan and Xinjiang are not included."

    Tang Zihong's expression froze and he said: "Those are the lands of foreigners, and the Northeast is the homeland of the Tatars. How can they be marked in my Han flag?" After saying that, he ignored Liu Tong and left angrily.

    Liu Tong stuck out his tongue, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, but when he thought about Tang Zihong saying that he was about to become the Prime Minister's brother and a senior military official, his heart suddenly felt itchy, so he couldn't help but ran to Sun Wu's room and wanted to ask  Asked when the incident would take place.

    As soon as he entered the room, he saw Sun Wu holding a washbasin. There was a lot of yellow and black powder in the washbasin, and he was carefully wrapping it in thick gauze and stuffing it into an iron case.  When Liu Tong saw drops of sweat on his head, he thought he was very tired, so he kindly took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Brother Sun, take one to relieve your fatigue."

    When Sun Wu saw it was Liu Tong, he didn't pay attention because he was having sex and couldn't be distracted, so he said no without even looking.  Liu Tong was not angry when he saw this. He lit a match and lit a cigarette and asked, "Brother Sun, it's been several days since the Mid-Autumn Festival. When will something happen?"

    "Come on, come on, wait for this" Sun Wu was too attentive, stuffing gunpowder into the cloth roll while talking, but as soon as he stuffed it, he suddenly smelled a smell of smoke, and when he raised the corner of his eye, he found  Liu Tong was actually smoking next to him. He was so frightened that his whole back was sweating. He suddenly shouted: "What are you doing! How can you smoke here!"

    Liu Tong was only sixteen years old and had an unstable mind. He was so frightened by Sun Wu's behavior that the cigarette he held fell down into the basin without realizing it. Before the two of them could react, they heard "Boom"  "With a muffled sound, the flames suddenly shot up from the basin. Sun Wu, who was caught off guard, was immediately burned to the point of confusion. He covered his face and shouted: "Someone, come quickly!"

    Liu Tong was so frightened that he knew he was in big trouble this time, so he ran out quickly.

    Tang Zihong and others were checking flags and other things next door. When they heard the call, they rushed over. But then they saw that the fire had spread all over the room. They quickly put out the fire with clothes and bedding.

    But the fire was really too big, and since there were still a lot of uninstalled things here, Sun Wu ignored the pain in his face and asked everyone to move things quickly.  At this moment, several rapid sirens sounded, and everyone screamed inwardly, so they had to drag Sun Wu through the back door and get out.

    The beeping police whistle resounded throughout the Russian Concession, and smoke billowed throughout Baoshan. A large group of Indian patrol police began to surround them. After a while, many Russian soldiers also arrived. This made those who were hiding on the street corner prepare to take advantage of the opportunity.  Sun Wu, who snatched back the things and eliminated the traces, could only stamp his feet, gritted his teeth and said: "Go to the French Concession quickly and find Deng Yulin."

    The disaster that suddenly fell from the sky almost stunned everyone, especially when more and more patrol police and soldiers arrived. Everyone could only crowd Sun Wu and run along the alley towards the Japanese Concession.

    The conversation was divided into two parts. When Liu Tong walked into Baoshanli with a cigarette in his mouth, Yang Qiu was also taking Yue Peng and several entourage, dressed in casual clothes, walking on Xinsheng Road where the Chinese District and the Concession intersected to inspect the terrain.

    Yue Peng introduced: "Xinsheng Road is the intersection of the Chinese community and the concession. There are fourThere are many roads that can be used to enter the concession, and they are all relatively wide. In addition, there is a railway from Dazhimen to enter the concession. I took people to see it for a few days. Most of the time, the roads entering the concession are guarded by Indian patrols, but Japanese soldiers  I come here often, and they are very strict about it. Last time, they even beat up a few passers-by who tried to use the road here.  "

    "Tamad, he's Japanese again. I really don't know why those gangsters still like the Japanese so much. The sign they put up that says "Proletarians are not allowed to enter" is the same as "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter"?  !¡± The person who spoke was called Ke Shao. He was a big man. Not only was he one of the first machine gunners to learn to use a machine gun, he was also promoted when Yue Peng was the deputy commander because he was straightforward and neutral.

    Yue Peng glared at him and signaled to keep quiet before continuing: "One team (company) can basically block Xinsheng Road. Close to the river are the China Merchants Bureau and the Customs Building, and the patrol room is also there. There has been a lot of noise these days.  The guards have been strengthened and there is a team that can ensure victory.

    Only Dazhimen is more chaotic. The road there is narrow and there are many forks. It is also a train station. There will be a lot of people fleeing. At least two teams can block it!  The rest is simple. There is only a railway and waterway wharf in and out of Hankou, and the foreigners' wharf is not allowed to be used by Chinese, so as long as the two southeast gates are blocked and the Chinese wharf is blocked, it can be completely blocked.  "

    "You also need ideas at the telephone office. Immediately cut off the calls to Wuchang as soon as it starts. The telegraph office must also block it as soon as possible. In a word, the Chinese region must be completely blocked."

    "There is no problem at the telegraph office, but the telephoneforeigners also use this line to contact Wuchang. If it is cut off, will it" Before Yue Peng finished speaking, Yang Qiu laughed.  : "It's not ten and a half days, it won't happen to the foreigners in two days at most. At worst, when they come to you, you will say that it exploded and they are undergoing repairs. They must restore it as soon as possible."

    Yue Peng thought about it, and it might not be a big deal to stop the foreigners in a short time. He smiled and said: "It's not a big problem to block Hankou. As long as we act quickly, I can guarantee that there will be no news from Wuchang overnight. But what do you think about those bandits and merchants?"  what to do?"

    "You can figure it out yourself." Yang Qiu thought for a while and then said with care: "I don't care about the other things, but Han Yeping has a branch in Hankou. You can find a way to move it and control the heat  "

    Han Yeping!  Yue Peng was startled. Just as he was about to speak, a piercing police whistle sounded in the Russian Concession in the distance, followed by a large plume of thick smoke rising into the sky.

    Seeing the smoke, Yang Qiu was shocked and rushed into the British Concession. When he arrived at the Russian Concession, he vaguely saw a dozen panic-looking people carrying a young man who looked like he had been burned.  A Japanese medical clinic.

    When he wanted to go over and take a look, a large number of concession soldiers and police blocked the street to prevent them from moving forward. Yue Peng quickly squeezed to the front and saw a German soldier who quickly asked in German: "Please tell me what happened.  What's up?"

    Probably because they did not expect to hear their native language in a foreign country, the German soldiers did not hide it and said: "Damn Russians, they took in some guys from the south. Now something happens, this place will be blocked, you should leave quickly."

    Yue Peng used to go to the German concessions frequently, and his expression suddenly changed when he heard this sentence, because German soldiers like to use southerners instead when calling party members, so he immediately guessed what was going on.

    "What's the date today?" Thinking of this, Yue Peng pulled Ke Shao over. The latter thought something big had happened, so he quickly said, "It's August 18th. It's just three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Have you forgotten, sir?"

    Yue Peng turned his eyes and looked at Yang Qiu. He had always felt that Yang Qiu's "assertion" should be analyzed based on clues. After all, as a standard leader, he had access to many high-level secrets, but now he felt that it was really  Somewhat amazing!

    There is no doubt that the Russian ambassador will hand over the situation to the other side later, and Ruicheng, who has been worried recently, will definitely take this as an opportunity to take action.  And from a military point of view, launching an attack while the enemy has not fully gained a foothold is the best choice for the weak side. If those party members want to protect themselves, they will definitely launch!

    Yang Qiu didn¡¯t even know how to describe it. This was a very complicated mentality. What was it like to watch famous historical events happening around you, within reach, and even capable of reversing them?  Itching, soreness, numbness, pain, etc. all mixed together to make it extremely uncomfortable!  But selfishly, he told him that if he wanted to rise in this troubled world and gain enough support, he not only needed guns and guns, but also needed fame and victory!  So he needs this momentum!

    He is not a god, and he cannot stop Beiyang with just these troops, not to mention that he is still "infamous", so he needs to borrow the power of Wuchang and use a war to rectify his name and establish his status as a hero!  Set a new coordinate for this country!  I wish I could rush in and take a look, but the most important thing is to endure it.Come on, there are some thingshe can't take care of, and he doesn't want to take care of it!

    "Let's go, it will be martial law soon" Yang Qiu sighed dejectedly, and when Yue Peng and others turned around and returned resolutely with a look of horror on their faces, a hospital in the Japanese Concession was already in chaos.  Tuan, watching the Japanese doctor Kono carefully treating Sun Wu's burns, Deng Yulin and others beside him were so nervous that they couldn't speak. Seeing that something big was about to happen, but something like this happened, what should we do?

    A piece of burnt skin pulled Sun Wu to take a breath. Kono knew Sun Wu and said quickly: "Sun Sang, you can be distracted here. If anything happens, I can bring a letter to the consulate of our country and ask them to use warships to take you there."  Shanghai."

    Sun Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you Mr. Kono for your friendship. Can I have a conversation with them first?"

    "Of course." Kono bandaged the wound and led the Japanese assistant out of the ward, but after closing the door, he immediately put his ear to it.

    No one in the ward knew that Kono was eavesdropping. Sun Wu was anxious because there was a roster in Baoshanli that recorded all party members in the three towns, so he ignored the pain and asked: "How is it outside? Baoshanli  ¡­.¡±

    "Baoshanli was confiscated by the Russian patrol. I saw them loading everything on the carriage and delivering it to Ruicheng Laogou, and" Seeing Deng Yulin hesitate, Sun Wu became anxious.  He patted the bed directly: "Say, what's wrong?"

    "When Liu Gong heard about this, he was very anxious and sent Liu Tong and Li Shuqing back to get the roster. Unexpectedly they were arrested. I don't know what the situation is now, but I have informed everyone to evacuate as soon as possible." Deng  Yulin didn't dare to blink anymore, gritted his teeth and said: "The situation is urgent now. Many comrades don't know what to do. Bo Kui has already rushed back. Now we need"

    Everyone knew what Deng Yulin meant, and they all looked at Sun Wu on the hospital bed.

    Sun Wu was very unwilling. There had been conflicts between the Gongjin Association and the Literary Society. Now he had finally brought the Gongjin Association to the same level as the Literary Society. He could soon use their power in the military to make his name known to the whole country.  , but I didn¡¯t expect that such a thing would happen at a critical moment.

    But he also understands that the roster must have been sent to Ruicheng and Zhang Biao. There are only two ways at this moment!  The ward suddenly became quiet, and the thumping of the heartbeat became more and more urgent. It was a critical moment, should we fight to the death, or?

    After a while, Sun Wu suddenly waved to Deng Yulin. As soon as the latter reached the bedside, he suddenly held his hand: "I am disabled, and now my intelligence depends entirely on you, Brother Bingsan! You can cross the river immediately and inform me.  Comrades from Chaojie, please send someone to Hanyang to contact us and tell me my opinion. We should launch an attack immediately tonight! Only by launching an attack immediately can we pre-emptively attack others and put them to death before they can survive!

    "Let me tell you, victory or defeat depends on this, take it seriously!"
