In the Eight Towns Engineering Camp, the beds and floors in each room have been piled up with white towels and other items used to distinguish between them.

Xiong Bingkun anxiously looked at his pocket watch, according to the plan, he was originally preparing to do the evening exercises, because all the soldiers were practicing at that time, and it was easy to agitate, but he didn't expect Zhang Biao's old dog to suddenly order the cancellation of the evening drills of all troops, which made the plan postponed again.

But what he is most anxious about is not this, but bullets!

As the old man of the society, he is not as impetuous as the outsiders Sun Wu, they have been working hard and conscientiously all these years in the development of the grassroots in secret, even if the previous major change of defense made many people leave, but there are still many comrades in Wuchang City, plus it is not a problem to gather two or three thousand people outside. Especially the engineering battalion in front of him, with his efforts, nearly half of the soldiers are already comrades, so he is now not short of people, only bullets!

Wuchang City is a military town, unlike Hanyang and Hankou's 42 marks that already belong to the super tiger, and because it is the duty unit that can leave three bullets, their bullets have been taken away, fortunately, Yang Hongsheng said that there are some at home, but they have not been taken until now, which makes him a little anxious.

During the day, Xiaochao Street was destroyed, and the news of Liu Fuji's generosity and righteousness of the heroes and martyrs has made everyone's eyes red, and even those soldiers who have not joined the party are mostly sympathetic, this is the best opportunity to do it, just bullets ()!

No bullets are nothing, although Chu Wangtai also has brothers to do internal responses, but the remaining flag people are not vegetarians, what should I do? Seeing that everyone's faces were getting more and more solemn, Xiong Bingkun knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he simply gritted his teeth and said, "Get ready." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers who had been waiting for the order for a long time all jumped up like hounds, white towels were quickly tied to their arms, and the eighteen-star flag that had been put together with great difficulty was also opened, and due to the lack of bullets, many people simply pulled out their bayonets.

At this time, Yang Hongsheng finally came, not only did he come, but a soldier who volunteered to steal the officer's bullets also returned, and the full 150 rounds of ammunition finally made Xiong Bingkun breathe a sigh of relief.

The sound of the bullet clicking on the loading caused a lot of agitation, and a passing officer outside the door immediately walked in after hearing it, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiong Bingkun wiping the gun with the soldiers, drawing the knife, and seeing that they were all tied with white towels on their arms, he immediately understood what was going on, and was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Brother, I know that you are going to do something big tonight, I will never stop it, nor will I sue it, I just ask you not to attack me, there used to be a lot of forgiveness for my brothers." ”

Xiong Bingkun recognized this officer, his name was Fang Dingguo, and he was usually not too bad, so he said bluntly: "We are all Han Chinese, and we will never kill each other." ”

Seeing this, Fang Dingguo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he pulled out his pistol and dropped the bullets inside and handed it to Xiong Bingkun, before he went out without saying a word, and saw Luo Ziqing as soon as he walked downstairs.

Luo Ziqing is a first-class adjutant of the engineering battalion, a 27-year-old soldier in his prime age, and he is also the only officer in the new army who has gone to Germany with Yue Peng to study. In fact, he had already known that something was going to happen tonight, so after seeing his face, he immediately glanced upstairs, Fang Dingguo didn't dare to speak, just nodded.

Luo Ziqing patted him on the shoulder for comfort and then walked upstairs, and when he saw Xiong Bingkun and the others, he immediately asked with a straight face: "Tonight's incident, is it full of killing officials?" ”

"The platoon is full, in order to seize power, if you don't resist, we won't kill indiscriminately!" Xiong Bingkun saw that Luo Ziqing didn't dare to be presumptuous, knowing that this person had real skills, and he never insulted the soldiers, and he defended them in public many times, and the eight towns and even the entire young generation of the new army also had a high prestige, if he wanted to stop it, I believe that the remaining half of the soldiers would never get involved ().

Seeing that Luo Ziqing looked at himself and didn't speak, Xiong Bingkun simply gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Jiwu (Luo Ziqingzi), you have drunk foreign ink, or are you a graduate of the German ** school, with your ability, you should have been a standard and co-unifier a long time ago, but the Tartar has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, only knows how to make money and harm people, and also brought Yang Qiu's ** husband to power!" Now that the number of Tartars is exhausted, it is the time to recover my Han family, in my opinion, you might as well rebel with us! As long as you say a word, we will all listen to you, and from now on, you will never fight back! ”

"I have something to go out tonight, so take care of me." Luo Ziqing was silent for a moment, walked to the side of the bed and looked at the somewhat rough eighteen-star flag, his brows furrowed fiercely, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped: "It's all robes, if you can, don't hurt everyone's lives." ”

Luo Ziqing didn't agree to be the commander, so Xiong Bingkun secretly said that it was a pity, you must know that the people who are ready to do things at this moment are soldiers, and they can't find any officers at all.

But time is no longer waiting for anyone, the roster has fallen into Ruicheng's hands, maybe the next moment the patrol camp and the military police will come in, so simply forget about this matter for the time being, and take everyone to continue to prepare.

Luo Ziqing walked out of the dormitory and saw Fang Dingguo still there in a daze, knowing that he was really scared, and there were no bullets in the gun, so he unloaded three rounds from the pistol and handed them to him: "Go home, sleep well, the sky won't stop us when it falls." ”

Fang Dingguo still had the heart to sleep, and when he saw that he was leaving, he hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Ziqing, where are you going?" ”

In fact, Luo Ziqing didn't know what to do for a long time, what he wanted to do in Germany was to protect his family and defend the country, and now the country is no longer a country, and his family is in danger, so he doesn't know how to answer, but he always feels pimple when he thinks of the flag with only eighteen stars, and laughs miserably in his heart: "Yue Peng, the 42nd standard adjutant officer, is my friend, I heard that he is now working as a deputy pipe in Hankou, which is far away from Wuchang, so I'll go there first to see the situation." ”

Fang Dingguo also wanted to take refuge in Hankou with him, but his family was in Wuchang City, and finally had to part ways (). Luo Ziqing looked behind him again, and suddenly felt a tiredness and heartbreak that he had never felt before, and took a deep breath and disappeared into the darkness.

Fang Dingguo and Luo Ziqing are gone, which makes Xiong Bingkun feel pity but relieved, and hurriedly found his brother Tao Qiyuan in the army, because Tao Qiyuan's brother is a righteous eye, and he usually offends a lot of people who are rigid, and he is afraid that something will go wrong and kindly remind him not to come out when he gets into trouble.

Tao Qiyuan was moved in his heart, and immediately prepared to go to his brother to persuade him not to come out, but he didn't expect to see his brother Tao Qisheng with two guards about to go upstairs as soon as he went downstairs, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, don't go up, it's really not okay, you can go back and rest." ”

Although Tao Qisheng didn't like Mantar, he always felt that a soldier should look like a soldier and should not interfere in political affairs, so he pushed his younger brother away and rushed upstairs.

But he went to the wrong door, and instead of coming to Xiong Bingkun's dormitory, he rushed to Jin Zhaolong's side, and when he entered the door, he saw Jin Zhaolong wiping his gun, and there were several soldiers with white towels on their arms next to him who were loading bullets into the guns, his face suddenly became serious, and he asked: "Tonight is not the night of your waiting, why are you armed?" ”

"Nothing else, just in case." Jin Zhaolong knew that Tao Qisheng was Tao Qiyuan's elder brother, and he also knew that Tao Qiyuan was Xiong Bingkun's brother, so he didn't want to kill him, so he coped.

"Beware of a fart!" Tao Qisheng jumped up excitedly: "I said, as a soldier, you shouldn't interfere in political affairs, just be our soldier, what is the difference between you and those bandits and thieves?!" ”

Jin Zhaolong was angry by such a roar, and he also jumped up and shouted angrily: "Tao Qisheng, Lao Tzu will give you steps in your brother's face, don't be embarrassed, Lao Tzu is going to rebel, what do you want!" ”

Tao Qisheng didn't talk to him, and said to the guards behind him, "Unload his gun." Hearing this, all the soldiers next to him stood up, and the guards were so frightened that they didn't even dare to move, and the dormitory was suddenly silent and nervous to the extreme.

Seeing that the guards did not move, and the soldiers dared to raise their guns to each other, Tao Qisheng stepped forward and grabbed Jin Zhaolong's gun in anger, and the two suddenly scuffled for fear of shooting in a hurry and causing trouble.

Tao Qisheng is tall and horse-tall, and he has been training hard for many years and is much tougher than Jin Zhaolong's lazy guys, and he threw the soldier away and grabbed the gun in a few clicks, seeing that the gun was about to be taken away, Jin Zhaolong shouted anxiously: "Shoot, what are you still doing in a daze!" ”

This shout suddenly woke everyone up from their ignorance, and the soldier Lu Zhengying raised his gun and aimed it at Tao Qisheng's head.

Syllable!

No one thought that at seven o'clock in the night of October 10 in Xinhai, Wuchang's first shot was actually his biological brother who was also a party member.

The gunshots that suddenly exploded in the dark night, just like the trumpet of the charge, all the soldiers who were preparing rushed out of the barracks, downstairs Tao Qizheng trembled when he heard the gunshots, and when he ran upstairs, he found that his brother had covered his head and fell in the middle of the corridor, and the blood continued to stay from his body, staining the entire aisle red.

Looking at his younger brother, Tao Qisheng, who had not yet lost his breath, stretched out his bloody hand, and he didn't know where he got the strength to grasp his hand, but because his throat and eyes were full of blood, he couldn't make a sound for a while, and could only whimper.

Tao Qizheng dragged his brother hard, desperately calling for the medical soldiers, but at this time, who still had time to pay attention to him, a team of rebel soldiers ran past him, and no one looked at him at all, this result made him seem to become a wooden man, and his brain was blank.

Before the revolution began, his brother fell in a pool of blood, a result he never dreamed of, and the people who killed him were still those brothers who were plain mouths.

Seeing that his brother's face began to turn black, Tao Qizheng knew that his brother would not be able to live, and looked at Jin Zhaolong and Lu Zhengying, who were inciting soldiers to shoot at the sky outside, and grabbed the gun to take revenge, but when he moved, he found that his brother was still holding his hand, and his nails were about to buckle into his flesh, no matter how he shook it, he didn't let go.

"Go home, don't be a soldier, soldier." Tao Qisheng's fingers gradually loosened at the same time, there was already a loud gunfire outside!
