The boxes of ocean fell to the ground. Under the sunlight, it was almost impossible to open their eyes. All the soldiers were breathing heavily.
This kind of crashing sound was undoubtedly the most beautiful sound in their ears. Why did they become soldiers?
Wasn't it all for money? To let his family live a better life? The ideals of the country were too far away from them. After all, everyone had to solve their own food and clothing problems first before they could think about other things.
This was also why Li Donghan had started with their personal interests. This was what these soldiers were most concerned about and what could arouse their resistance the most.
As for the national righteousness that he mentioned later, it was just icing on the cake. Nothing was as real as Li Donghan's final kick!
Although the 49th Association was under Li Donghan's control and he could order the soldiers to attack the Governor's Mansion directly, he could not guarantee that there would not be any accidents.
After all, Li Donghan was rebelling. Even if the Manchu Dynasty was already beyond cure, its influence was still there. Before participating in the rebellion, they had to consider the price!
Only by letting the soldiers see the real benefits and letting them know that only by following Li Donghan would there be benefits.
If they didn't resist and follow Li Donghan, they would be disarmed by the patrol unit, and their future would be even more hopeless.
These ordinary soldiers did not have any lofty ideals. They only cared about their own lives.
Li Donghan would rather use the 100,000 yuan to reduce all accidents. He was not a revolutionary. He did not think that revolution was sacred and should not be contaminated by the stench of money.
All Li Donghan needed was victory. As long as he could win, he did not care about any means!
When the ten boxes of money were placed in front of them, all the soldiers cheered. The money was enough to pay them for more than half a year. It was also very important to their families.
They were resisting for their own future. Now that they had the money as a reward, it was even better!
"Revolution!" "Revolution!" "Revolution!"
This was the only sound left in the entire North Drill Ground camp. All the soldiers were stirred up!
Perhaps they didn't even know what a revolution was, but they knew that following Li Donghan's revolution would make their lives better! Get more money!
The three people tied up at the side had long been stunned by the cheers of the revolution. They looked at Li Donghan in horror as if they had lost their souls.
They did not expect that Li Donghan would really rebel. The Wuchang Uprising had just happened last night, and Li Donghan was going to make a move today.
They suddenly understood that he must have planned this all along. Donghan was a traitor in sheep's clothing. Everyone had been deceived by his loyalty.
However, other than Na Qi's extreme anger, Yang Deshan and Wu Daishan's expressions were more of fear. Their faces were pale from fear!
Since Li Donghan had already tied them up here, their outcome could be imagined.
Sure enough, the next second, they realized that Li Donghan's cold gaze was looking over, and then he said to all the soldiers,
"These three are spies that the Manchu Qing placed in our 49th Association. They were the ones who lured the patrol camp here! Today, we will use their blood as a sacrifice for our actions!”
"Execution!"
When the cold voice fell, the Qi trio was completely dumbfounded. When death descended, they felt so powerless. Yang Deshan and Wu Daishan struggled violently, wanting to say something.
However, her mouth was already sealed, and she could not say anything. In the end, even the tough Na Qi could not help but look at Li Donghan pleadingly.
They hoped that they could spare his life, but Li Donghan's gaze was indifferent and indifferent. The moment these three people came to the 49th Association, they wanted to fight with Li Donghan for power.
Their fate was already decided. Li Donghan would not show the slightest mercy to his enemies. They were now just pitiful creatures in Li Donghan's hands.
What greeted them was a row of black muzzles. When more than a dozen gunshots sounded at the same time, many bloody holes had already appeared on their bodies, and blood was flowing out.
Their eyes were filled with unwillingness and fear, and they lost their vitality. The three of them played their final role and became sacrifices for Li Donghan's uprising.
More importantly, it was to let the soldiers see that the official sent by the imperial court to the 49th Association was dead. He had died in front of them. They had no way out and could only follow Li Donghan to the end!
However, this was still not enough. Li Donghan continued,""I, Li Donghan, will overthrow the Qing Dynasty today and restore the Han Dynasty!”
"Now, I order all 49 associations to cut off their braids! Chinese men don't need this!"
As he spoke, Li Donghan pulled out his military knife and directly cut off the braid! At this time, it was very necessary to carry out the order to cut braids.
This way, one could distinguish whether a person was trustworthy or not. If they did not cut off their braids, they would be viewed with hostility by their companions and could cut off the soldiers 'escape route.
This was also a sign that they had severed ties with the Manchu Dynasty! After all, everyone knew how important braids were to the Manchu government. It was once seen as a symbol of whether or not to submit to the Manchu government.
But now, Li Donghan was using it as a symbol of whether or not to draw a clear line with the Manchu Empire! The soldiers who had their braids cut off could only follow Li Donghan.
If there were soldiers who were unwilling to cut their braids, Li Donghan could only kill them at this critical moment!
After Li Donghan, Jiang Fangzhen, Chen Chengyun, and the others immediately pulled out their military sabers and cut off their braids.
Then, it was Li Donghan's trusted officers and guards from the 49 associations. They took out their bayonet and cut off the braids as well.
They were Li Donghan's true confidants and would carry out his orders, even if they had to cut off the braids that had been left behind for more than 20 years!
When the soldiers heard Li Donghan's order, they were a little flustered. After all, many people had feelings for braids and could not bear to part with them!
However, under Li Donghan's orders and the coercion of the officers at all levels, everyone could only cut off their braids and become part of the real revolution!
At this time, gunshots and the sound of heavy machine guns spewing fire could be heard outside the camp. It was Yang Hongyu leading the 1st Battalion of Section 98 to attack the patrol camp.
The 1st Battalion was the unit that Li Donghan trusted the most. He had once been the commander of the 1st Battalion, so he had given the task of guarding against attacks on the patrol unit to the 1st Battalion!
The gunshot that had shot the three of them was Li Donghan's order to Yang Hongyu!
