Wuchang uprising process

19 1 1 (1911) 10 June 10, Wuchang's tall city gate was closed, and only the broken leaves rolled up by the wind fluttered feebly in the streets full of military police. Armed patrol battalions and guard troops searched passers-by in various streets and lanes, and the Qing army in military and police uniforms searched everywhere to arrest people. Even the bullets of the soldiers of the battalions of the Hubei New Army of the Qing Army were confiscated by their superiors, and special martial law measures were taken against the eighth battalion of the Corps of Engineers.

Xiong Bingkun deeply felt that the situation was grim, and if he didn't make a decisive decision, the uprising would die. So Xiong Bingkun took advantage of breakfast to gather representatives from all teams (companies) and whispered, "Our roster has fallen into enemy hands, and it is only a matter of time before we are arrested and beheaded. It is better to rebel than to wait and die.

Besides, our battalion is defending the armory, so we should rebel first and supply weapons and ammunition to other battalions. "This sentence won the unanimous approval of the representatives present. At that time, it was decided that after the first roll call in the evening, before the second roll call, that is, between 7: 00 and 9: 00, with three shots as the number, the reactionary leader who dared to resist was killed first, and then the Chu Wangtai armory was captured.
