Preamble:
In September 1905, Wu Yue incarnated as a slave and followed the five ministers who were preparing to go to foreign countries to "study Xi", and the late Qing government at that time gradually came to an end.
After seeing the true purpose behind "learning Xi", Wu Yue decided to use his life to prevent the incident from happening, and although the incident was finally revealed and the assassination failed, his appearance awakened many revolutionaries and shocked the corrupt superiors of the Qing Dynasty.
An assassination squad was formed
In 1901, the Qing government signed the "Xinchou Treaty" with the foreign powers, which reduced the land under the rule of the Qing Dynasty again, and also allowed the hands of the foreign powers to gradually extend to the land of the mainland, and the Qing government was completely reduced to the puppet of imperialism, but the Qing government was still unmoved in the face of such a grim situation.
The corruption of the Qing government and the cowardice and incompetence of the rulers are like an invisible shackle and rigid imprisonment on the neck of every countryman, and the numerous and redundant forced labor and taxation have pushed the people into the darkness, and the people's lives are not good.
The incompetence of the Qing government does not mean the incompetence of all the people, since the incumbents of the Qing government have not acted as people with lofty ideals among the people, they have no choice but to stretch out their arms and use their flesh and blood to overthrow this dark era and open up a new revolutionary era.
It was in this context that Wu Yue chose to find a way out and save the people from fire and water. Wu Yue has liked to read historical works since he was a child, and he admires the loyal chivalrous men recorded in the history books, and he hopes that he can one day become such a figure and become a chivalrous warrior who will be famous for centuries.
Such a day did not come long, after the First Sino-Japanese War, after the unequal treaty, Wu Yue said goodbye to his brother and went north alone to find a way to save the country, after more than two years of travel, he entered the Baoding Higher School.
Here his thoughts were once again enlightened, and he had a deeper understanding and absolute recognition of the meaning of the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and founded the "Zhili Vernacular Daily" to propagate revolutionary ideas and expand the influence of the revolution.
In 1904, Wu Yue joined the Restoration Society through Cai Yuanpei's introduction, and made many people with lofty ideals and aspirations who shared his thoughts and ideals.
"I talked deeply about Wu Geng but didn't sleep. Recalling this time, Wu Yue was always full of energy, and Wu Yue boldly displayed his talents in the Restoration Meeting, and because of his excellent performance, he was made the head of the assassination team.
Since the assassination of the revolutionary Wan Fuhua began in November 1903, the curtain of the assassination in the late Qing Dynasty has been completely opened. After becoming a member of the assassination team, Wu Yue listed the Empress Dowager Cixi, the de facto ruler of the late Qing government, as his top assassination target.
Blend into the carriage
In order to better carry out the assassination plan and better overthrow the rule of the Qing government, Wu Yue got up early and worked late to conduct physical fitness and assassination training, he bought a small pistol and practiced shooting, and worked with revolutionary comrade Yang Yulin to develop the technology of making bombs and explosives.
This round, can-like bomb is blasted by means of a firing pin, which is activated when the firing pin is collided and detonated.
It's a pity that Cixi lived deep in the palace in his later years, and there were many guards around him, which made Wu Yue's assassination plan never come true. However, Wu Yue soon waited for another opportunity to change the status quo, and in July 1905, Wu Yue heard the news that the Qing government had sent the "Five Ministers" to overseas to inspect the constitution.
He knew that this was just a pro-Russian argument of the Qing government, and that any constitutional monarchy that imitated Japan, Europe and the United States was false, but in fact it was just a trick by the foreign powers to support the "puppet" Qing court, and the Qing court did this only to prolong the breath and delay the actions of the revolutionary party figures.
It is a pity that the people at the moment have not been able to see through this trick, and the power of the revolutionaries is relatively weak, and they can only rely on their own strength to achieve it step by step.
Wu Yue did not want to support this so-called constitutional system with the people, so he decided to go to expose the hypocrisy and deception of the Qing government in person, so he wrote a suicide note full of ambition and grief and got up to go to Beijing, he was ready to dedicate himself to the action long before the action.
He arrived at the train station in advance to step on the spot, and settled in a sparsely populated remote hotel near the train station, and the crucial bomb was carefully hidden in his luggage.
On the morning of September 24 of the same year, Wu Yue arrived at the Zhengyangmen Railway Station in Beijing, where gongs and drums were noisy, and important figures from the military, political, and business circles came one after another to see off the "five ministers" to study Xi constitutionalism in Europe and the United States.
Wu Yue turned into a student who came to see him off, carefully protecting the bomb hidden in his chest, and he wanted to walk through the crowd towards the "Five Ministers".
However, the crowd was bustling, and he didn't dare to break in for fear of hurting the innocent, but at this time, the farewell party was about to come to an end, and the "five ministers" had already taken the exclusive train.
The train is divided into five sections, the first four are the servants of the "five ministers", guards, etc., because the students' clothing is uniform, so it becomes a difficult thing for him to get on the train, after some observation, Wu Yue immediately spent a lot of money to buy a waiter, and changed the other party's clothes to enter the carriage.
After disguise, Wu Yue groped from the first carriage to the back, and the first few carriages passed smoothly, and an accident occurred when he arrived at the fourth carriage.
The fourth carriage was connected to the fifth, and here sat the attendants of the five ministers, each of whom was standing guard at the door.
Accidents happen
Wu Yue was just about to approach the fifth carriage when he attracted everyone's attention, and one of the attendants stretched out his hand to stop him and asked Wu Yue which adult's attendant was, "Zeye!" Wu Yue replied casually, but he didn't know that the attendant who reached out to stop him was the attendant of "Zeye" in his mouth.
"Why haven't I seen you, wait until I ask Zeye. In fact, the number of attendants of each minister is not a few, and it is normal for people to have faces, but what really caught their attention was Wu Yue's Anhui accent.
The five ministers are all from Beijing, and the attendants around them are all here, everyone speaks fluent Beijing dialect, Wu Yue's accent is incompatible with them, Wu Yue, who has Xi been practicing assassination and hand-to-hand combat skills for many days, has forgotten this, and several other attendants have also approached Wu Yue after hearing this.
At this time, his heart was also nervous, and for now, he could only wait for the attendant to push open the door of the fifth carriage, and Wu Yue threw the bomb in his arms into the fifth carriage.
It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the change, and the time spent on the train is not short, the sudden start of the train caught Wu Yue off guard, and the sudden collision between the carriages made Wu Yue unable to stand firm, and the bomb in his arms also hit the body of the attendant in front of him with his shaking body.
Because the performance of the bomb they developed themselves was not stable, this collision caused the firing pin in the bomb to be activated, Wu Yue knew that the bomb was likely to explode, he did not hesitate too much to rush towards the fifth carriage, hoping to use the power of the bomb to affect the "five ministers".
It's a pity that there is still a guard in front of him, and he was detonated before he could rush to the fifth carriage, and the huge impact made the train tremble, and with the sound of the explosion, Wu Yue's body was blown up, and only his head was intact.
Several people who were closer to him were also affected, and in an instant, stumps and broken arms, flesh and blood, and sawdust were all impacted by the firelight to all parts of the carriage, but the "five ministers" hiding in the fifth carriage were unharmed.
After a brief panic, the remaining surviving attendants pulled Wu Yue's long pigtails and were dragged out of the carriage according to the order, and the blood drew long marks in the carriage.
Although Wu Yue's assassination was not completed, it also succeeded in stopping the "five ministers" from going abroad to inspect the constitutional system, and the Qing government was even more frightened by this sudden bomb.
Afterwards, Wu Yue's identity was found out, and the last suicide note was found in the place where he stayed, saying that all these actions had nothing to do with others and that he had made his own decisions, and that he had taken all the consequences on himself and protected other revolutionaries to a large extent.
It is worth mentioning that after Wu Yue sacrificed, his wife Yan Wuxing picked up a sharp blade and cut her neck and followed him. Every revolution was won by the blood of many heroes who bravely and fearlessly pursued victory, and Wu Yue's sacrifice successfully awakened a group of revolutionaries and laid a certain foundation for the subsequent reforms.
