Chapter 186 A new day

That night, most of the people in Guangzhou did not fall asleep.

As the uprising was coming to an end, the city was still shrouded in a fearful atmosphere. Shops were worried about being robbed by rebel soldiers, and ordinary people should be wary of being harassed, and even large families were "visited" by the revolutionary army one by one. Until dawn, everything finally improved. Although the streets and alleys in Guangzhou were closed, there was no more intense gunfire sounds, which was the greatest comfort.

Wu Shaoting was busy all night, and then issued a nationwide announcement of Guangzhou** and coordinated the logistics supply of various people in the city. The soldiers fought for a day and were already hungry. In addition, he also had to arrange to interrogate the stubborn generals of the Qing Dynasty. It was impossible to execute all of these people, after all, these people still have an impact.

When it was lightly dawn, most of the trivial matters were finally dealt with, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the three elders, gentry and others in the city who had contact with the alliance came to visit and celebrate the success of the revolution, and even some constitutionalists came to find out. Wu Shaoting knew that these guys were here to celebrate in name, but in fact they wanted to share a cup of revolutionary fruits.

He would not deal with such a thing. If he wanted to bargain and seek political interests, he should go to the top leaders of the Tongmenghui. He deliberately made himself pretend to be a martial artist, not asking about political affairs, and all said that he would wait until Liao Zhongkai and Hu Hanmin came to Guangzhou before making decisions. Fortunately, it was the first day of the revolutionary reign, and not many people came to visit, so they were sent back soon.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Guangzhou finally received a telegram from Huizhou. Huizhou recovered successfully yesterday evening, but the battle lasted for only one hour, mainly because the Huizhou County Government refused to resist. The reason why it delayed until this morning was that it was not sure about the situation in Guangzhou. It was not until the national telegram was received by Wu Shaoting in the middle of the night; on the other hand, Liao Zhongkai, Hu Hanmin and others had already formed the Chinese Revolutionary Government in Huizhou and were allocating work in the government.

Immediately afterwards, telegrams were also sent by Foshan, Jiangmen and Zhongshan, but the telegrams were all sent by local governments, which were to celebrate the success of the Guangzhou Uprising. Although the telegram did not indicate whether these three places changed their flags and banners, because after all, everyone was still very suspicious about the progress of the revolution, so they took such an ambiguous way to wait and see. After all, these three places were closest to Guangzhou, and there were nearly 10,000 rebels in Guangzhou. If they did not know the current situation, wouldn’t the army beg themselves for trouble?

Wu Shaoting arranged for the attendants to call back one by one, asking Huizhou to abolish the title of the Chinese Revolutionary Government and rush to Guangzhou as soon as possible to form a unified revolutionary government. On the other hand, it threatened other counties including Foshan, Jiangmen, and Zhongshan, and other counties in Guangdong Province, requiring that the flags and flags must be changed within today, otherwise it will be regarded as the enemy of the revolution.

After noon, he received the casualties report of yesterday's uprising, and immediately asked Deng Keng, Li Jishen and Xu Haiying to draw the elite soldiers of the old battalion who surrendered and surrendered to fill the shortage of soldiers in the first bidding station. He even took advantage of this time to reorganize the transferred battalion guards and the bidding guards.

Of course, the formal work must be done well. He personally went to the resettlement site of the fallen uprising soldiers, delivered a condolence, and then went to the battlefield hospital to visit the wounded and delivered an inspiring speech.

As for the remaining old soldiers who were not called in the city, there were almost more than 1,300 people. He gathered all of them to wait for reorganization.

Wu Shaoting has always held these surrendered soldiers in his own hands, including the Guangdong Navy. These people seem to be very troublesome and need to be resettled and appeased. Food and salary is a big problem. However, as long as there is a little rectification, these people can become another armed force. What he needs to do next is to become the person with the most troops in the entire Guangdong Province.

In the afternoon, Ni Duan came back to report that he collected a total of 150,000 stones of grain and grass in the city overnight and half a day yesterday. In addition, the grain from the original official warehouse was about 200,000 stones. At present, these grains were stored in the Yuexiu official warehouse, and a team of troops were also sent to garrison there to prevent looting.

Wu Shaoting calculated carefully. The 200,000 s of food was only enough to maintain the rebel soldiers in the city for two months, and it was still very cheap. However, he felt that two months was enough. After fighting Guangdong Province, he could still use war to support the war.

In the evening, Hu Hanmin, Tan Renfeng, Mo Jipeng and others arrived in Guangzhou by boat from Huizhou.

Wu Shaoting sent people to the dock to greet them and led them to the General's Mansion.

Hu Hanmin told Wu Shaoting that Liao Zhongkai had sent a telegram to Mr. Sun Yat-sen in Europe, and Mr. Sun would soon rush back to China to take charge of the overall situation. As for Liao Zhongkai, he followed Huang Xing, Chen Jiongming and others from land and would arrive in Guangzhou tomorrow morning.

Wu Shaoting didn't care about these words. Anyway, the only thing the Tongmenghui has to do now is to establish a government, and then distribute the political interests after the revolution, while expanding the revolution. He simply used the excuse that all the armies in the city were very chaotic, and he was busy with the aftermath and rectifying military affairs. He was really too busy. He hoped that Hu Hanmin would preside over the government affairs in Guangzhou from now on and concentrate on governing the military.

Hu Hanmin was naturally overjoyed after hearing this. He was worried that Wu Shaoting would be so powerful that he was shocked. Now it seems that he is completely overwhelmed.

In fact, Wu Shaoting is not a good-for-nothing lamp. He saw the troubles after Guangzhou's restoration one day today. There are still a lot of things to do after the disaster. At that time, the revolutionary army will ask for wages and food, the gentry and celebrities will ask for officials and positions, and the new revolutionary government will also seek support from all parties. His purpose is to let the Tongmenghui deal with these trivial matters first. He will learn from Yuan Shikai, holding the military power in his hand, and waiting for the sharing of the fruits of the revolution.

After discussing with Hu Hanmin, Wu Shaoting took his own people out of the General's Mansion and moved the headquarters to the eastern schoolyard in the city, which is the second target camp. No matter what Hu Hanmin and other general's mansions did, he first publicly announced the establishment of the Guangdong Revolutionary Military Headquarters, and appointed himself as the president of the Guangdong Revolutionary Army and the commander-in-chief of the Guangdong Revolutionary Army. He ordered all the rebel troops in the city to register at the military headquarters. However, any troops that were not registered within the period would be forcibly disbanded.

Then, he ordered the military system to be reorganized, namely, the cooperation to brigade, the standard to regiment, the team to company, and the shantytown to squad. This matter was left to He Fuguang, Xu Haiying and other personnel from the General Staff Department to implement it. All the new numbers, new flags and even new military uniforms were asked for by the Guangdong Revolutionary Government.

Until this moment, he finally had some time to start taking care of his private affairs.

He took a team of people to Zhang Shengting's company. Since the uprising broke out yesterday, the company has temporarily closed down, but because there are several foreign consulates in the building where the company is located, these foreigners hired a group of gunmen to guard outside the building during the turmoil in the city, Zhang Shengting's company was also sheltered. There are also several clerks in the company. Since yesterday's turmoil, these clerks have been hiding in the company and have not had time to go back.
