Meeting

After meeting with Guan Renfu and Huang Mingtang, Wu Shaoting learned about the current situation in the city. Although Wu Shaoting was mentally prepared and knew that the revolutionaries' actions would never go as smoothly as planned, he never expected that the facts would be worse than he expected. It would be fine if the civilian army failed to attack the General's Mansion on time, but the Governor's Mansion was gone, but Li Fulin's army disappeared, and there was an incident of civilian army looting the civilian house. Is this still a revolution?

After some discussion, Wu Shaoting did not hold the civilian army responsible. He only considered that the civilian army suffered heavy casualties and almost consumed ammunition, so he did not intend to let them participate in the attack on the General's Mansion.

In fact, he believed that if the civilian army was allowed to attack the General's Mansion, the General's Mansion would definitely be blood-baptized. These people would not pay attention to organization and discipline, and their hatred for the Manchus was enough to make them emotionally active. Although he knew that the Manchus were indeed hateful, he was not a nationalist, and there was no need to use force for the peaceful solution. What's more, once the Manchus were really killed, I was afraid that Guangzhou and even Guangdong would not be able to get peace in a short period of time. This is not a good thing for the revolutionary cause.

Wu Shaoting decided to let Guan Renfu and Huang Mingtang occupy the headquarters of the fire battalion and watch these old prisoners. The troops of the fire battalion had collapsed, and his headquarters was afraid that they would have escaped completely, so it would not be too difficult. Guan Renfu and Huang Mingtang agreed. They were now at the end of their power, and their casualties were too great to attack other places.

After the operation with the civilian army, Wu Shaoting sent scouts to contact Mo Qingyu's second bid.

At this time, the second target was still on the street in front of the Governor's Office, entangled with the Governor's Office guards. They were really unable to advance half a step further, and ammunition and wounded became the heaviest burden. When Wu Shaoting's scouts met Mo Qingyu, Mo Qingyu finally recovered some morale. Mo Qingyu asked Wu Shaoting to send troops to help the second target immediately, otherwise the second target would be exhausted and he would have to retreat.

Wu Shaoting originally planned to attack the Governor's Office at the same time, so he asked Zhang Dakai from the Artillery Battalion to lead the six mountain cannons and 200 soldiers under his command to quickly rush to the second bid for support.

When Mo Qingyu saw that the reinforcements had heavy equipment, he was overjoyed and immediately called on the Second Balance to cheer up again and prepare to break through the defense line of the Governor's Office in one fell swoop and conquer the Governor's Office.

Just as the second target launched an attack on the Governor's Office, Wu Shaoting also began to attack the General's Office.

The escorts of the General's Mansion were obviously not as tough as the Governor's Mansion. Less than 200 guards were stuck in the general's mansion compound. In fact, before the first bid arrived, the general's mansion could take advantage of the cover of the fire battalion at the Guangren intersection to escape from the north gate. However, for some reason, the general's mansion has not retreated until now, and even the female family members in the mansion have not been transferred.

The rebel soldiers surrounded the General's Mansion as fast as possible. The artillery battalion set up mountain cannons in the open space at the main entrance. Wu Shaoting did not immediately order an attack. He stepped forward to persuade the General's Mansion to surrender, but there was no response in the palace, and the guards who were standing did not take the opportunity to attack. Most of the guards were also Han people. They knew that if Wu Shaoting was killed, they would not even think of living alone.

After waiting for a few minutes, Wu Shaoting had to order an attack. The guards of the palace exchanged fire with the new army soldiers for a while. They used the walls of the general's palace as cover, causing the new army soldiers to suffer. Wu Shaoting decisively asked the artillery to fire, and first launched a few guns to bombard the general's palace for demonstration. Then he only asked the cannons to open the gate of the palace and let the new army soldiers break into the palace.

The new soldiers attacked from the main gate and the back door at the same time. The main gate was bombarded by cannons, and the soldiers rushed in without any obstruction. As for the back door, the soldiers used the method of stacking the arhats to build a ladder to easily cross the courtyard wall and open the back door.

In an instant, the originally calm general's mansion boiled. The sound of gunfire, shouts of killing, cries, and breaking sounds, as if they were knocked over oil pans, all gathered together. The guards were still resisting, but every time the new army broke through the yard, a group of guards surrendered. Gradually, the gunfire weakened, but the shouts became more radical.

"If you keep the gun, you won't kill it, and those who resist will kill it!"

"Only arrest the Tartar generals, no one else will pursue them."

"Don't move, don't move all!"

The shouts of the new army prevailed, and only the general's house was crying and moaning.

Twenty minutes later, Sun Jizhi ran out of the General's Mansion. He was shot on the shoulder, but fortunately it was a flesh-and-hearted injury. He came to Wu Shaoting and reported: "Mr. Wu, the General's Mansion has been taken down."

Wu Shaoting nodded slightly and asked, "Where is the Fuqi people?"

Sun Jizhi said: "In his study, but he closed the door and we haven't entered yet."

Wu Shaoting turned over from the war and walked into the general's mansion with a group of escort officers. He was not unfamiliar with this place. Last year, he had a big meal here. Unexpectedly, time passed, and in just one year, his attitude of entering here again changed drastically.

Along the way, all the things that caught my eye were messes, pieces of paper, glass fragments, broken clothes, and shells.

The bright red blood stains were shocking, and some new soldiers were carrying the bodies.

The subordinates of the General's Mansion were all huddled in the corners or in the house, and the New Army soldiers guarded them. The first standard of military discipline was very strict, at least the first battalion was like this. Therefore, after the New Army soldiers occupied the General's Mansion, they did not kill innocent people, rob or steal, and did not tease women. Except for some chaos, everything was still stable.

Wu Shaoting and others walked through the front yards and came to the door of Fuqi's study.

There is a small yard in front of the study, where Li Jishen and more than a dozen soldiers are guarding here.

"Ren Chao, what's the situation?" Wu Shaoting asked calmly after entering the yard.

"The Tartar General is inside, but Beiye did not rush in. Beiye was worried... If it was too hasty, the Tartar General would be punished!" Li Jishen replied.

Wu Shaoting nodded slightly. It seemed that Li Jishen was still a careful person, and he could use this kind of person. He untied his military cloth and handed it to a servant on his side. The badge of the Tongmenghui on his chest was shining. Then he said, "I'll go in alone, you all stay here."
