"May the young people of China get rid of the cold air, just go upwards, and do not have to listen to the words of the self-destructive and self-abandoning people." Do things that can be done, make a sound that can be heard. If you have a little heat, you can make a fire, and you can also emit a little light in the dark, without waiting for the torch. ”
--- Lu Xun
On October 10, 1911, the Hubei New Army launched an uprising in Wuchang, and Xiong Bingkun, the rear team of the New Army's engineering battalion, fired the first shot of the uprising. Later, he recalled to his descendants that his place would embark on the revolutionary road, which was inseparable from the enlightenment and influence of Zhu Zilong, a revolutionary hero from Jingzhou.

Revolutionary precursor of the Wuchang Uprising: Zhu Zilong
Zhu Zilong (1875-1907), courtesy name Zhu Jiazhuang, was a native of The Village of Chunhe in present-day Ji'nan Town, Jingzhou District. He lost his mother at an early age, and his father, Zhu Chuanshou, was a former Qing Dynasty, and because of his dedication to friendship, the townspeople respected him as Mr. Moxiang. At that time, China was weak and weak, and Zhu Zilong was influenced by his father at a young age and set up a great ambition to serve the country. When Zhu Zilong was 14 years old, his father also died, and he was raised by his grandmother.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, advocated the new policy and trained the new army, Zhu Zilong went to Wuchang to join the army, was incorporated into the engineering battalion of the eighth town of Lulu in Hubei Province, and was soon promoted by soldiers to battalion secretary for his outstanding learning. In June 1904, together with Zhang Nanxian, Hu Ying and Lü Dasen, he organized the revolutionary group "Science Tutorial Institute", and later transferred to the revolutionary group "Rizhihui", zhu Zilong served as an officer of the official department, secretly engaged in anti-regurgitation. According to the memories of his contemporaries, he suffered from stuttering problems, and usually did not speak much, but strangely, when he talked about national events such as "using the Manchu Qing dynasty to destroy our country and species", he could talk like a river, "On the successes and failures of ancient and modern times, there is no difference between the ancient and the modern."
In November 1906, the League prepared to hold armed uprisings against the Qing in Pingxiang, Jiangxi, Liuyang, Liling and other places in Hunan, and Sun Yat-sen sent Zhu Zilong, Liang Zhonghan, Hu Ying, and others back to Wuhan to prepare for the response. Soon, the uprising failed, and the Qing authorities offered a reward of 500 taels of silver for the arrest of Zhu Zilong. Because of the betrayal of the traitor Guo Yaojie, he was arrested and imprisoned in January of the following year, becoming the first victim of the "C Year Party Prison" that shocked the whole country in the late Qing Dynasty.
In prison, Zhu Zilong was severely tortured, but he did not tell the truth and refused to confess. The Qing officials changed their tactics, imprisoned him in solitude, and offered him Chinese food, intending to soften his will. Zhu Zilong did not waver, saying: "I sin against me, not guilty of releasing me, Hu Entanglement? Soon, the authorities recognized that he had been transferred to Jiangxia Prison.
On February 5 of that year, Liang Dingfen, an envoy from Hubei Province, personally came forward to interrogate Zhu Zilong. At this time, he stood tall with his head held high, without any fear, and said: "Revolutionary parties are all over the world, and it is even more difficult to kill them; if they do not kill the revolutionary party, there will not be many revolutionary parties; if there are not many revolutionary parties, the revolution will not be easy to succeed." The blood of the revolutionaries is the fertilizer that irrigates the freedom of the Han chinese. Killing is what I can't ask for. Then he shouted, "Kill! kill! kill! "Righteousness is awe-inspiring, and arrogance is overwhelming.
The Qing dynasty, Huguang, and Guangdong authorities decided to sentence Zhu Zilong, Liu Jing'an, and nine others to death, but after being rescued by U.S. Minister Le Kexi and Wu Luzhen, a member of the Beijing Party, the Ministry of Punishment approved the "suspended treatment."
In Jiangxia Prison, Yin Ziheng, a party member who was imprisoned with Zhu Zilong, was suffering from a severe illness due to the plague, and repeatedly advised him to move out. Zhu Zilong did not want to abandon his comrades-in-arms at a time of crisis, but instead pushed Yin Xie to eat and drink, and waited with all his heart. Later, Yin had recovered, but he was infected with the disease, and every day he had blood diarrhea and died on May 6, 1907.
When Zhu Zilong was dying, he wrote a desperate poem: "Death I am born alone, and I will watch the revolution rise up as a heroic soldier." The Manchu Qing dynasty had returned to nothing, and at this point the heavenly heart was in line with my heart. Behind him, the revolutionary successors in the Two Lakes region surged like a storm, and their momentum grew stronger and stronger, which finally triggered the Wuchang Uprising.
In September 1981, the State Council of the People's Republic of China posthumously recognized Zhu Zilong as a revolutionary martyr in recognition of his immortal exploits in the early days of the bourgeois-democratic revolution.
Jing Zhi Toshihiko, who was active in the battlefield between the north and the south: Hu Egong
After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the Qing court sent troops to fight back fiercely, the officers and men of the revolutionary army rose up to resist, and party members from all over the country gathered in Wuhan, and the so-called "(Han) Yangxia (Kou, that is, the original name of Hankou) defense war" in history was immediately fiercely launched. During this period, Hu Egong, a Jingzhou party member who was wanted by the Qing court for his secret anti-Qing campaign, took the initiative to ask for war and was appointed as the chief of the high detective section of the governor's office, responsible for investigating and arresting the Qing court's minions and pawns, in order to ensure the safety of the revolutionary head organs.
Hu Egong (1884-1951) was a native of Hujiatai, South Wuzhou, Haoxue Town, Jiangling County (whose land is now part of Gong'an County). As early as his youth, he had lofty ambitions, and in 1903, he and his classmates organized the "Nichishinsha" to try to transform society and save lives. In 1906, Hu Egong transferred to the Hexun (Haoxue Town) Preparatory Middle School, because of his slightly older age, rich social experience, and his rich belly, calm and generous, so he deservedly became a leader among his classmates. Under his influence, fellow villagers Kumatoku-san and Channa-san traveled east with him to study in Japan: Hu himself attended the Tokan School, while Kumatoku-san first entered the Hongwen Academy and then studied at Meiji University; and Chana-mizumi first entered the General Department of the Hiroku Library and then entered Waseda University until graduation.
In the spring of 1908, Hu Egong traveled to various places, and was later admitted to Baoding to study at the "Directly Affiliated Higher Agricultural School", and edited the "Agricultural Officials' Newspaper" funded by the Qing government. In the summer of that year, Xiong Deshan and Chana shui, who had already joined the League, returned from Japan and joined hands with Hu Egong to actively begin to prepare for the organization of the Republican Association. At this time, Li Dazhao and many revolutionary youth joined the Republican Association, making this group the largest revolutionary organization in northern China at that time. Because Hu Egong's anti-Qing activities were overt and conspicuous, he was wanted by the Baoding authorities. Soon, he returned to Hubei and successively established republican branches in Wuhan and Jingzhou to secretly oppose the Qing.
After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, Hu Egong took the initiative to participate in the organization and leadership of the rebel army. At the time of the Large-scale Attack of the Qing Army, he was appointed as the chief of the High Detective Section of the Governor's Office of the Ejun Army, responsible for the garrison work in Wuchang, and was responsible for detecting and arresting various secret agents sent by the Qing Army. At this time, the Warship "Chu Yu" of the Yangtze River Marine Division of the Qing Army entered the Liujiamiao Wharf in Hankou, and the governor of Huguang, Rui Cheng, sat on the ship to command the Qing army to counterattack. Hu Egong disguised himself as a foreign banker and took a motorboat to the river to reconnoiter the "Chu Yu" virtual reality, and When Li Yuanhong received his report, he issued a letter of appointment with the title of "No. 1 of the Character of the Form," and awarded Hu Egong the post of commander-in-chief of the Ejun Governor's Office for Land and Water, and ordered him to coordinate the actions of various units. After Hu Egong was ordered, he mobilized eight cannons of qingshan artillery and bombarded Qing warships on the Liujiamiao River in Hankou. After this shelling, the "Chu Yu" ship was shot in the stern, black smoke took off, Rui Cheng's soul flew away, and the emperor fled the waters of Hankou in a hurry.
Soon, Huang Xing became the wartime commander-in-chief of Wuchang, appointed Hu Egong as an aide-de-camp of the general headquarters, in charge of the replenishment of soldiers, and then sent him to supervise the fortress of Dabie Mountain, responsible for holding Guishan Mountain.
After the south and the north met, Li Yuanhong personally allocated 10,000 silver oceans as funds for activities, and sent Hu Egong and Qianna Shuixiong Deshan to sneak back to Baoding and secretly engage in counter-petition struggles. In order to directly destabilize the Qing court's rule, they secretly mobilized the officers and men of 20 battalions of the Qing court's Janissaries to hold an uprising in Luanzhou on January 2, 1912, known in history as the Luanzhou Uprising. Later, due to the traitors' whistle-blowing, coupled with the lack of assistance, the uprising was tragically lost, the front-line commanders Wang Jinming and Shi Congyun were ambushed and executed in the operation, and Xiong Deshan was captured and imprisoned in the melee. In February of that year, qingfu abdicated, Xiong Deshan was rescued from prison, and immediately joined the Hu Egong army in the struggle against Yuan.
Hu Egong, Qian Nashui, and Xiong Deshan were all from Haoxue Town, Jingzhou, Hu Nian was 27 years old when the Xinhai Revolution broke out, and Qian and Xiong were only 20 years old, and history called them the "Haoxue Three Jies" in the Xinhai Revolution.
The officers and soldiers of jingqi who are in the eye of the storm of the times
Before and after the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the Eight Banner Army of Jingzhou, the only garrison in the Two Lakes region, inevitably fell into the eyes of the storm of the times. Tie Zhong, a soldier stationed with a white flag, was one of the first "returnees" of the Qing court to return from studying in Japan.

Tie Zhong studied at the first phase of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, which is rigorous in teaching and has a wide range of courses, which are roughly divided into disciplines and disciplines. The former such as tactics, war history, military system, hygiene, education, etc.; the latter such as weapons, shooting, fortification, transportation, surveying and mapping. Tie Zhong grew up in the military camp since he was a child, he was able to graduate smoothly, and after returning to China, he naturally became a general officer of the Hubei Military Counselor and the General Office of the Armament Department before the Wuchang Uprising.
The TV series "If Life Is Like First Sight" also partially shows this history: after the change of the Gengzi Kingdom, the land of Shenzhou is full of devastation, and aspiring young people rise up to save their homeland.
The aristocratic teenager Liangxiang (Li Xian), the revolutionary Yang Kaizhi (Wei Daxun), and the Beiyang Wu Right Guard Li Renjun (Zhou You) became the first batch of progressive young people to study at the Japanese non-commissioned officer school, and met the revolutionary exiles Yu Tianbai (Zhu Yawen) and Qiu Hong (Chunxia) on a cruise ship, and the fate of the five people has been closely linked since then.
In Tokyo, Japan, various ideological trends have struck, and they have formed righteousness, chased love, and struggled to revitalize China. After returning to China, Liangxiang Zhuangzhi hesitated to explore the way of rich countries and strong soldiers, but he was deeply trapped in the vortex of power, full of enthusiasm and nowhere to show, and finally recognized the direction of the times and rose in seclusion. Kaizhi's battle strength in Yanji defeated the arrogance of Japanese imperialism and was praised as a "hero of shubian".
After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, the military and political chiefs of the Qing court, Rui Yi and Zhang Biao, fled one after another, and Tie Zhong led the thirtieth biao of the new army composed of Jingzhou flag soldiers to counterattack with all its might. In the midst of the rush, he had to lead the troops and fight and flee, from Wenchangmen to the riverbank, like a lost dog on a marine division warship and fleeing down the river, and the three towns of Wuhan successively became the world of revolutionaries. The revolutionary party, the constitutionalists, and the Beiyang faction continued to compete, and during the Xinhai years, the revolutionary volunteers fought bloodily to overthrow the old order that had existed for thousands of years.
Young actor Li now published his views on the character of "Liangxiang" after the whole drama:
After 150 days, liangxiang was completed. To this day, I still remember the excitement and excitement when I watched the complete set of scripts more than a year ago, and I was fortunate to see Mr. Jiang's so sophisticated and historically heavy script, and I can't wait to enter the set of "Life" ever since. From reading, rehearsing, learning to ride a horse, learning Japanese, reading historical documents, shaving my head, and setting makeup countless times, the days seem to be back to the purest creation, and this is my own favorite atmosphere. Liangxiang is difficult, this difficulty, not only in the present, I live in the present, the interpretation of him 120 years ago, but also in his dazedness on the arduous road he has chosen, how to move forward? At the same time, I was also afraid, afraid that there was no way to truly understand Liangxiang, afraid that I would not help Liangxiang to complete his mission in shaping. But I like Liangxiang so much, as if it is destined to be inspired: the same year of Gengzi, the first letter of the same name is LX, also from Jingzhou. All kinds of fate intertwined me and Liangxiang. It is also after Liang Zhengwen that I have a particularly unwilling role. He did not give up his feelings of home and country, the ideal ambition of saving the country; he did not give up the strength, the stubbornness, and the stubbornness of the good towns in that era. Well, the road of Liangxiang, I have temporarily finished walking for him, and in the future my road will continue - "the road is long and the road is long, and I will seek up and down."
In the play, "Liangxiang" from the children of Jingqi - descendants of the Qing Dynasty princes to the revolutionaries who returned from studying in Japan, the ideological impact brought by staying in Japan can be imagined, and taking the "Liangxiang" one: too much sustenance, too much hope, and too much realistic helplessness, but at the same time there is a kind of strength to struggle!
And at the time, such a breakthrough was so difficult! As the front-line commander of the Qing army in Wuchang, Tie Zhong, who also returned from staying in Japan, was the first to detect that the revolutionaries would launch an uprising during the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year. Therefore, he ordered his subordinate officers to take strict precautions, collect all the ammunition stored by the new army in each battalion, properly seal it, and deploy the Jingzhou Banner Defense Battalion, which had long been transferred to the provincial capital, to Chuwangtai.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, Tie Zhong ordered all the officers and men in the battalion to celebrate the festival in advance, so that the revolutionaries' plans for an uprising were aborted, and they had to postpone the date of the uprising backwards. In a hurry, the gendarmerie battalion rushed to the military headquarters at No. 85 Xiaochao Street in Wuchang on the evening of October 9, intending to consult with the commander-in-chief Jiang Yiwu on countermeasures. Unexpectedly, Tie Zhong and others had already ordered the closure of the four cities and led troops to search for the revolutionaries everywhere. At the site of the Xiaochao Street incident, Peng Chufan, dressed in a military uniform, faced the military police and covered the emergency transfer of other comrades, so he was arrested together with Liu Fuji and others.
Late at night, Tie Zhong met overnight to interrogate Peng Chufan, Liu Fuji, Yang Hongsheng, and other arrested party members. These three revolutionary men were unyielding in death and generously righteous at dawn the next day inside the East Gate of the Governor's Office.
Tie Zhong's atrocities in hunting down and killing the revolutionaries aroused great indignation among the soldiers of the New Army, and were undoubtedly the direct motives that triggered the Wuchang Uprising. Just over ten hours before Peng Chufan and other brave men, the first shot of the Xinhai Revolution, fired by Xiong Bingkun, the rear team of the Eighth Battalion of the Engineering Project, sounded the death knell of the reactionary rule of the Chun Dynasty.
After that battle, there were about six hundred Jingzhou bannermen abandoned in Wuchang City, and in the chaotic war, some escaped, some died, and about three or four hundred were captured, all of whom were taken into Wuchang Model Prison, and finally more than a hundred people escaped to the old camp in Jingzhou.
Bao Ying, a flag bearer in Jingzhou, was also a graduate of the Japanese Non-Commissioned Officer School, and he first served as the 30th Standard Commander (equivalent to the regimental commander) of the 15th Association, and then the Wuchang Army Elementary School was established, and Rui Yi transferred him to serve as the general office (principal) of the school. In the process of eliminating the remnants of the enemy, the rebel soldiers broke into Bao Ying's mansion, raided the hidden ones, and found that Bao Ying's sister was the only one left behind in the house. At that time, some people wanted to kill her, and some people wanted to stop this innocent atrocity, and as a result, a soldier named Gu Zhongwei pretended to be drunk and killed the woman with a knife. Later, when Li Yuanhong heard about this, he sent a special order: "Don't kill the flag people indiscriminately." The revolutionary party is civilized, and Gu Mou's foolishness is a barbaric act, and he will not take it. This kind of behavior of not killing flag people indiscriminately was immediately stopped.
After that, China's history has also opened a new page.
The TV series "If Life Is Like The First Sight" presents this history, from Jingzhou to Beijing, from Tokyo to "Homecoming"; through "Liangxiang", we see the spirit of the jingzhou youth of that era. From the "Qu Yuan" to the "Good Hometown" who are also aristocrats, generations of Jingzhou youth have inherited the spirit of home and country that has been passed down for thousands of years, and then paid for the rejuvenation of the nation and the rise of the country, which is also the source of strength for the growth of contemporary young people!
