    At night, there was a constant rush of footsteps in the Japanese Concession Consulate in Hankou. After getting a report from Dr. Kono about a riot in Wuchang tonight, the ticking in the telegraph room continued. Matsumura Sadao was holding the gift given by His Majesty the Emperor.  Saber stood at the window. It was already dark in the three towns on the Han River outside. Having stayed here for several years, he knew very well how much wealth the three towns contained. It is no exaggeration to say that this place has become the gathering place of wealth in the entire southern China.  land.

    There are 53 factories in the UK, 43 factories in Japan, 35 factories in Germany, and more than 200 factories in more than a dozen countries including France, Russia, and the United States, including tung oil, raw silk, tea, etc. The annual commercial transaction volume can reach a huge amount of 100 million taels of silver, or even  Far surpassing Tianjin and Guangzhou, and second only to the most prosperous Shanghai.

    Cream.

    He considers himself to be quite knowledgeable about Chinese culture. These two words immediately popped into his mind. It means a big piece of delicious meat dripping with oil. However, this piece of fat is still a bit too big for Japan. It's too big.  Bigger¡­.

    Matsumura Sadao's thoughts were interrupted by the footsteps of the Vice Minister: "Your Excellency, Shanghai has called back. The Consul General asked us to ensure neutrality. Two cruisers have received the news and are on their way, but he also hopes that we can help those party members as much as possible.  , if they fail again, use the navy to escort them to Shanghai for refuge."

    The Vice-Minister was very excited and continued to speak loudly: "In addition, the Consul General asked me to tell you that His Excellency Mr. Saito Kijiro from the Ministry of War will arrive here in two days, and he will personally observe this incident."

    "Please tell the Consul General that I will try my best to help them." After Matsumura Sadao finished speaking, he suddenly smiled coldly and asked: "Do you know why the Democratic Party always fails?"

    ¡°There is a lack of trustworthy armed forces.¡±

    "No."

    The deputy minister thought for a while and just finished speaking, Matsumura Sadao shook his head: "They themselves are too chaotic, with chaotic internal factions, and lack of a real leader, and they implemented a republic in China, and now they are still  Lack of adequate soil.¡±

    "But this is a blessing for us in Japan." Matsumura Sadao took a deep breath, turned his head again and looked at Wuchang City entrenched on the side of the Yangtze River like an ancient behemoth, frowning and said: "How many times are there now?"  Ordered? Did Kono hear correctly?"

    The vice-minister looked at his watch: "It's already 11 o'clock, maybe"

    Before he could finish his words, the military attache stationed in Hankou rushed into the room and gasped: "Your Excellency, maybe they failed again"

    "what happened?"

    "I received a call just now. The Qing Governor-General's Office has asked some secrets from the party members captured in the evening, and just destroyed the party headquarters in Wuchang. I think they may  "

    "A bunch of stupid Chinese pigs!"

    Sadao Matsumura gritted his teeth and stamped his feet vigorously. He did not expect that after waiting for most of the night, he would get this result, but thinking of the telegram just now, he could only say bitterly: "Let them suffer a little, and wait until daytime to figure out whether we can save them."  .¡±

    Similarly, Deng Yulin, who had finally notified the battalions of the three towns about the overnight incident to protect themselves, was completely stunned. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Xiaochao Street Literary Society office, it was still a step too late. A large number of soldiers from the city patrol battalion had already arrived.  The streets were blocked, and Liu Fuji and the other three resisted desperately but were still outnumbered and captured. Only Jiang Yiwu escaped and disappeared without a trace.

    ¡°In fact, Liu Tong felt bad after he was arrested, so he had to find a place to hide and check the situation, but in a hurry, he forgot to tell Qiu Wenbin and others of the 42nd bid not to take action for the time being.

    ??¡ª¡ª

    "It's time to do it, it's time to do it."

    Early the next morning, shouts were heard outside the dormitory of the 42nd Base Camp. The soldiers who had been accustomed to high-intensity training for the past two months jumped up like hounds. Even the engineering and baggage teams who had just arrived a few days ago  They all quickly put on their clothes and rushed out of the dormitory with guns on their backs.

    After receiving the news of the incident yesterday afternoon, Qiu Wenbin quickly contacted the comrades of the First Battalion and the baggage team to make preparations. However, after spending the whole night with his ears pricked, the dreamy thunderous cannon sound was still not heard until the white fish came out of the window.  Hearing the bugles and shouts, he grabbed the loaded gun from under the bed and ran out.

    Just as he walked to the school grounds, the figure that had been haunting him like a nightmare for the past two months suddenly appeared in front of him. Because he had a ghost in his heart, he was startled. After a while, he remembered to salute: "First Battalion, Second Team, Second Platoon."  Qiu Wenbin, the main eye of Sanpeng, has met your lord."

    "Bring your gun." Yang Qiu looked at him deeply and suddenly stretched out his hand to check the gun!  This made the latter suddenly tremble in his heart. Unless otherwise specified, it was required to carry a gun during morning exercises, and no one had ever checked. Why did Yang Qiu today?

    In just a few seconds, Qiu Wenbin was already sweating profusely, looking at those cold eyesAlthough he wanted to just turn his eyes, he didn't dare to draw the gun for some reason. In the end, he had no choice but to take off the Hanyang-made rifle from behind.

    This scene also attracted the onlookers of the soldiers, especially the members of Heyizhishe and the Democratic Party who were extremely nervous. Some of them had even avoided the periphery and moved quietly towards the camp gate. Lei Meng and Lei Meng, who had already received the order,  Hu Laosan and others immediately pretended to be watching and led the soldiers to stick up.

    Yang Qiu took the rifle, weighed it down, and then suddenly pulled the bolt. Everyone saw a yellow-orange bullet suddenly jump out of the barrel of the gun and land glittering in the mud.

    The scalps of Qiu Wenbin and dozens of soldiers from the Yizhi Club were about to explode. Some of them even started to tremble, while the other soldiers all frowned. Unexpectedly, the usually active Zhengmai gun was loaded.  of!

    There are regulations in the military that guns must not be loaded during drills, for fear of misfire and accidental injury. Therefore, most soldiers usually put the bullets they are issued into the magazine, and rarely press it directly into the magazine. Even if a soldier occasionally presses it in,  Will not load.

    "After the incident in Hankou yesterday, Yang Qiu knew that these people must have received the news of the attack, so he made an excuse to check the gun early to nip the unrest in the bud!  So under the gaze of the soldiers, he bent down, picked up the bullet without saying a word, took out the white silk from his pocket and wiped the sand off the bullet, and deliberately angrily said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to die, but you  But your comrades don¡¯t want to die in the hands of their own people without any reason! They sleep in the same camp with you and eat in the same pot. They hand over their backs to you without any doubt. As the chief officer, you should have been more strict.  Yu Lvji, how could such a thing happen!"

    The angry scolding made the Kuomintang soldiers relax. They thought that the incident of their rebellion had been seen through. Unexpectedly, it was because of the loading of bullets. However, Qiu Wenbin secretly screamed. Since everyone was ready for the rebellion last night, he ordered  Everyone had to load their bullets and be ready to go at any time, but unexpectedly they were blocked at the door early in the morning before the bullets could be reset.

    "Lei Meng, take people to check all the guns." Yang Qiu stamped his feet and shouted: "You also said that you are a new army that wins with knowledge. I think it is bullshit! Have you forgotten such a simple thing?  The bullets are loaded, do you want to kill your comrades?"

    These words aroused dissatisfaction among most of the soldiers, who all said, "Wen Bin, what are you doing?"

    "Yes, I am still standing in front of you. If something goes wrong, I will be wronged!"

    "Yes, it's a good thing that Mr. Biaotong saw it, otherwise something big would have happened. If you were unlucky enough to meet Guoerxing, you would definitely be sent to the gendarmerie."

    "Comrade, you hit the mark every time you said it, but Qiu Wenbin became even more impatient, but he couldn't argue. Do you want to be like the 3rd Artillery Battalion?"  no!  Absolutely not, that would only alert the enemy, and might ruin the whole event!

    "Sir, a total of 47 people have been loaded." After Lei Meng led the people to check one by one, he walked to Yang Qiu and handed him the secretly recorded list, saying, "My lord, you can rest assured about your safety."

    "Look what you look like!" Yang Qiu nodded, walked up to the 47 people who were pulled out, loaded and surrendered their guns, and pretended to be angry and angrily said: "Military regulations, especially gun management, must be followed. Last month, eight towns also  Have you forgotten about the accidental fire that killed your brother?!"

    "I wanted to hand you over to the military police, but since we are all brothers, I won't embarrass you, come here!" Yang Qiu shouted: "Take them all down and confine them for three days, and let me reflect on them!"

    There were so many people loading their guns at once, and other soldiers also frowned. This was obviously the first sign of a riot!  But why did Biaotong let it go so gently?  As for the loaded soldiers, they all heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that they would not be handed over to the military police. Only Qiu Wenbin, whose face was ashen, sat down on the ground.

    Yang Qiu¡¯s move is really vicious!
