After Huang Anyuan hurriedly went out, Chen Jingyun instructed Lin Chengkun again: "You go and call all the commanders above the troops!" ”

Due to the urgency of the matter, those officers also vaguely guessed something when they were called! Sure enough, as soon as they arrived, Chen Jingyun immediately announced that he was going to revolt.

"The Manchu court not only oppressed our Han people for more than 200 years, but also continued to lose power and humiliate the country in recent decades, putting trillions of Chinese people under the mouth of the great powers, colluding with the powerful and corrupt [***], they lived a luxurious and depraved life, while the ordinary people had no food and clothing, wailing all over the wilderness, the world did not break it, and my China will sooner or later become a meal in the belly of an alien race. In the past, our alliance has been in Wuchang and successfully recovered Hubei, and now it is said that our alliance will contact more than ten provinces in the north and south to raise affairs at the same time, and it is bound to restore the rivers and mountains of China in one fell swoop! Chen Jingyun looked at the people below, the expressions of the people below were different, the officers who were originally members of the alliance or those who were committed to the revolution were naturally full of joy, while some neutrals were terrified, at least a few of those who wanted to scold the imperial court, but at this time they were surrounded by revolutionaries, and there was Chen Jingyun's personal guards on the side, where they dared to show it.

After Chen Jingyun's passionate speech, he consciously did not mention that he had only joined the League for two days, let alone his previous conflicts with revolutionaries, but put himself in the position of a revolutionary who loves the country and the people, at least on the surface, Chen Jingyun is a standard revolutionary party member. Xiao Qibin and Lin Wenying also each stated the oppression of the Manchus and the poverty of the people, which was naturally to win over those neutral officers.

Then Chen Jingyun took two steps forward, pulled up the braid on his head, and then a pair of scissors appeared in his hand, and the knife braided and fell! Holding scissors in his hand, he looked around at everyone: "I don't have to say much, now I Chen Jingyun is going to rebel, who is willing to follow me into the revolution and overthrow the decadent Manchu Dynasty!" ”

Immediately, Lin Wenying immediately stepped forward: "I, Lin Wenying, are inseparable from the Manchu Qing Dynasty!" After speaking, he also cut off his braids, and then Xiao Qibin also cut off his braids: "I was born as a man, how can I wear this slave braid!" ”

Ma Cheng, who was next to him, immediately stepped forward and took the scissors is scissors: "I am willing to die for the commander!" ”

Lin Chengkun also followed, cutting off his braids and shouting: "I am willing to die for the commander!" ”

Immediately, Li Lianyang, the four officers of the second battalion, and others had already met Chen Jingyun's gaze, and they all stepped forward immediately: "I am willing to die for the commander!" ”

With these middle and high-ranking officers taking the lead, and Chen Jingyun's pro-guard team next to him was eyeing him with guns, and then the other officers, whether they wanted to or not, cut off their braids one by one!

Due to the tension of the incident, Chen Jingyun didn't have time to arrange anything else, so he immediately asked all the officers below to immediately assemble the troops, and strictly ordered the soldiers to cut their braids, and if they did not comply, they would be killed.

At a time like this, it is necessary to enforce the order of cutting braids in the army. Cutting off your braids may not mean that you are a revolutionary, but if you don't cut it now, the revolutionaries will see them as either loyal to the Manchus or sympathetic to the Manchus, both of whom are enemies of the current rebel army. In order to maintain the strength of the rebel army and the purity of the surname for a short time, this simple and crude method was necessary.

Chen Jingyun also led the personal guards to the camp of the second battalion, and as the whistle of the assembly sounded intensively, the soldiers who did not understand what was going on were gathered, and then they were told: Revolution!

Although many people have heard about the revolution or something, they did not expect that the revolution could be their own turn, and then they were told to cut off their braids.

With the cooperation of many middle- and lower-level officers, and Chen Jingyun personally came, the soldiers of the second battalion did not appear large-scale chaos and resistance, except for a few who were killed by Chen Jingyun's own soldiers because of stubborn resistance, the others were armed with empty guns, put on military uniforms, and cut off their braids with bayonets.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Jingyun had already assembled his troops, and at the same time, bursts of gunfire were heard from time to time in the barracks, and it was obvious that the engineering battalion, the artillery battalion, and other troops had encountered some minor trouble when they were assembled.

Chen Jingyun was not worried, if even these small troubles could not be solved, the people of the League would not have set off this revolutionary uprising that spread throughout the country.

Not long after, Lin Wenying and Xiao Qibin had already gathered their respective troops. Thousands of rounds of ammunition that had been secretly hidden were also distributed, most of which were given to the second battalion, and the rest were distributed to Xiao Qibin and Lin Wenying.

Although the matter is urgent, but the necessary procedures still have to be followed, Chen Jingyun first gave a speech on the temporary high platform, and what he said was all the same old saying, it was nothing more than the Manchu Qing Dynasty bullying the people, not that I wanted to rebel, but the imperial court forced me to rebel. These words are very exciting for ordinary soldiers who are determined to be revolutionary, but for ordinary soldiers who do not know a single word for most peasant children, they are no different from the book of heaven. However, when Chen Jingyun's personal soldiers came to the stage with several large boxes, their eyes widened.

As the soldiers opened the box, and as soon as they lifted their hind feet, they kicked a large box of silver dollars with white flowers to the ground. Suddenly, the stage was sprinkled with silver dollars with white flowers

"I declare that all the brothers who are doing the incident today will be given double salaries, and they will receive a month's salary before leaving!" Chen Jingyun stepped on the white silver, this appearance was somewhat disgusted in the eyes of Xiao Qibin and other officers of the League, in their opinion, the revolution is a great cause to throw their heads and spill their blood, how can they let these silver taint it, but in the eyes of the more than 1,000 ordinary soldiers below, it is very great.

Immediately, some members of the alliance who had been arranged by Chen Jingyun below began to shout: "Long live the revolution!" Long live the revolution! ”

At first, there were only a few dozen people, but soon they became dozens, then hundreds, and finally more than a thousand people were shouting: "Long live the revolution, long live the revolution!" ”

The braids are cut off, and the silver is sent out! These soldiers shouldn't be backing down! Chen Jingyun looked at the fanatical appearance of the people below and showed a satisfied smile.

After a brief oath, Chen Jingyun immediately sent Xiao Qibin to lead the artillery battalion and the baggage battalion to seize Yushan, ordered Lin Wenying to lead the engineering battalion and the military band to seize the governor's palace, and sent people to urgently notify Yu Shaoying of the gendarmerie battalion and Li Jimin of the third battalion outside the city, as well as the party members and the alliance of Peng Shou Songxia who were ambushed in various places in the city.

And Chen Jingyun himself rushed to the South City Gate with the second battalion!

On the evening of October 19, 1911, the Fuzhou Uprising officially kicked off, and the city of Fuzhou tonight was destined to be unpeaceful.

Cheng Jinkui, who had just returned from Hualou, had not yet stepped into the gate of his home, when a soldier came to report that the brothers under his command had discovered that someone had smuggled a large number of bullets into the south city gate, and was now organizing a siege.

As soon as he learned the news, Cheng Jinkui knew that something bad was happening, there were countless revolutionaries in recent years, and it was impossible to prevent it, and he knew that it was the revolutionaries who did it without thinking about it. Could it be that they want to do something in Fuzhou? Thinking of this, Cheng Jinkui's head began to sweat, and he immediately didn't care about entering the house, so he hurriedly ordered his own soldiers: "Hurry, hurry, gather the brothers!" ”

After the word spread, he thought about it, the revolutionaries smuggled in a large amount of ammunition, and a large number of revolutionaries must have gathered in the city. And who in the city are the most suspicious? Undoubtedly, the new army! If the new army in the city wants to rebel?

Thinking of this, Cheng Jinkui slowly stopped his eagerness, although he didn't have much intersection with the new army in the city, but he also knew something about some of the generals in the new army in the city, and knew that the new army in the city was headed by Chen Jingyun's second battalion. And this second battalion he had also observed before, regardless of the equipment and weapons, at least the military appearance and military discipline were incomparable to his patrol battalion. If this second battalion is in turmoil, if he Chen Jingyun wants to rebel, can he stop it? As for the Eight Banners soldiers in the city, I knew that they were unreliable one hundred and eighty years earlier.

With this thought, I naturally think of a lot, such as the situation in recent years, such as the stalemate between the People's Army and the Beiyang Army in Hubei, and the current turmoil and uprisings throughout the country. If there is really chaos in this Fuzhou city, where should I go?

As he walked, he quietly slowed down, and at the same time sent his own soldiers to the south campus to find Chen Jingyun, and at the same time sent someone to the governor's palace to report the news.

At the same time, near the South City Gate, Huang Anyuan was already leading a horse team of dozens of people to rush to help, including two of Chen Jingyun's personal soldiers. This pedestrian roared through the street, which naturally attracted the attention of passers-by, and for a while it was a time for something to happen.

Huang Anyuan and other dozens of cavalry arrived at the ground in a short time, although the previous patrol battalion was several times the number of soldiers escorting ammunition in the third battalion, but because the soldiers of the third battalion were guarding the building, after several people were killed and wounded in the previous attack, the patrol battalion sentry officer who led the team hurriedly reported to Cheng Jinkui for help, so he only surrounded and did not fight.

However, before he could wait for Cheng Jinkui's reinforcements, the horse team led by Huang Anyuan had already galloped over!

Huang Anyuan looked at the dozens of people in the patrol battalion in the distance who were panicking and began to line up, and immediately a trace of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth. Even now that we have entered the era of hot weapons, the charge of the cavalry is not something that the same number of infantry can withstand, let alone these patrol battalion soldiers in front of them.

Huang Anyuan pulled out the saber, and after shaking his hand and holding up a knife flower, the saber pointed forward, kicked the spurs with both feet, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

In an instant, dozens of riders rushed forward like the torrent of the Yellow River!

The more than 50 people of the patrol battalion were still in a hurry, but when the cavalry on the opposite side didn't even shoot with a cavalry gun, they charged directly, before the cavalry began to charge, the soldiers of the patrol battalion had already begun to retreat to both sides, and when the cavalry led by Huang Anyuan was charging, the patrol battalion collapsed instantly, and the momentum of the cavalry charge was not something that ordinary infantry could resist.

After the sentry officer found that his subordinates had run out, Huang Anyuan and dozens of other horsemen had already rushed in front of him, seeing that this seemed to be a frightened patrol battalion sentry officer, Huang Anyuan did not hesitate at all, his body was slightly tilted, and with a slight wave of the saber in his hand, the person's head fell to the ground instantly.
