In the movie "If You Are the One 2", Sun Honglei mentioned that his grandfather was the one who fired the second shot of the Revolution of 1911. It sounded very humorous. The soldiers naturally fired the second shot after the first shot, so it is said that Finding him is unreliable. But the term "Revolution of 1911" itself is too political and too broad to be specific. The names during the Republic of China and after the founding of the People's Republic of China were not consistent. Let’s find out who fired the first shot in the Wuchang Uprising.
Recently, I occasionally saw the process of the Wuchang Uprising of 1911. It was far from rigorous and serious as described in the textbooks, and there were also very unreliable things that happened. Let’s digest it after a meal.
Before the Wuchang Uprising, it was planned by Sun Yat-sen and others, or whether representatives from all walks of life in the movie "October Siege" planned a national uprising in Hong Kong. It is worth confirming, because Sun Yat-sen was in the United States at the time of the Wuchang Uprising. Revolutionary funds.
Among the revolutionary armies preparing to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, the Hubei New Army was the largest, so they planned to take the lead in the uprising in Wuchang. The date was originally scheduled for October 6, but the preparations were not ready yet, so it was postponed by 5 days.
One of the important tasks in the preparations was to prepare bombs, and Chief of Staff Sun Wu (Niubi's name) was personally involved.
An extremely unreliable thing happened. When we were rushing to make a bomb in Hankou on the 9th, a revolutionary named Liu Dunzhong walked into the room. He was addicted to smoking and leisurely lit a cigarette, and a strange spark appeared in the air. Suddenly flew into the gunpowder pot. There was a loud bang, then silence. This is common sense. Their family is definitely not a bamboo maker, and they still dare to smoke and frustrate.
So there was no need to "lurk", the Governor of Hubei knew that someone was going to rebel.
The commander-in-chief of the uprising was Jiang Yiwu, the president of a literary society (why the president of a literary society?). He could only announce an early uprising, using the sound of the Nanhu Artillery Brigade as a signal. Nanhu is very beautiful next to Wuhan University.
The second time something unreliable happened. All battalions preparing for combat were ordered to do so. But the person responsible for delivering the letter to the Nanhu Artillery Team was named Deng Yulin. For some reason, he did not deliver the letter on time. Small details.
Put yourself to death and survive! When there is no retreat, it is often the bravest time.
The first shot: At 7 pm on October 10th, Xiong Bingkun, captain of the New Army Engineering Battalion in the Eighth Town, fired a gun in uprising. Excluding the misfire, the person who fired the first shot in the Wuchang Uprising (reunified as the Revolution of 1911 after the founding of the People's Republic of China) has been found.
A man named Wu Zhaolin (an officer of the revolutionary group) was temporarily elected as the commander-in-chief. Old Wu said a famous saying, "Comrade has recently been the same as King Wu in defeating Zhou." So a crowd responded. It is estimated that the Nanhu artillery team also fired when they heard the gunfire.
The governor of Hubei fled and the Wuchang Uprising was victorious.
On October 11, the Hubei Military Government was established and the country's name was changed to the Republic of China. This national title was used until the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The third unreliable thing happened. Lao Wu decided to give up his talents when he won, and gave them to Li Yuanhong, who had been hindering the revolution. Lao Wu said the second famous saying, "I only want success, not rights."
Isn’t that what our generation is fighting for, even the right to live and speak. Unlike now, the mouth is only used for eating.
There is another small detail. The victory in Wuchang came so suddenly that even the revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen had no time to react. It can be seen that the revolutionary experience is slightly lacking, and it is not as good as the New Revolutionary Party that followed the great escape and chaos. In the end, the textbooks all say that those who are more prepared, more powerful, wiser and more cunning achieve the ripe fruits.
