Feng Shan was dead. For the sake of his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, he used his life to atone for his mistakes. When the new army entered the General's Estate, all they saw was Fengshan's corpse!
Meanwhile, in a private house in the city, Hu Hanmin, Su Gang, and the others looked at the situation outside in surprise. When they heard the continuous gunfire, everyone's faces were filled with surprise.
Just like everyone else, they didn't know what was going on when the battle broke out in the North Drill Ground camp!
As the higher-ups of the Eastern Guangdong Alliance, they knew very well that they did not stop the uprising at all, and they did not have the ability to do so.
Then what was going on? When the 49th Association attacked the city, they saw the new soldiers on the streets and the patrol battalion that was beaten up and fleeing in all directions. They immediately understood.
Li Donghan!
"Li Donghan rebelled?" Zhu Zhixin opened his mouth slightly and said in disbelief. He was somewhat prejudiced against Li Donghan, so he would never believe that Li Donghan would rebel.
Wasn't he a diehard supporter of the Qing court?
Then, he was warned by Hu Hanmin's eyes. They were the revolutionary party and wanted to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty. Anyone who opposed the Qing Dynasty was their comrade. Zhu Zhixin's prejudice against Li Donghan was not good.
"Like I said, Li Donghan is not a pedantic person. From yesterday's meeting, it can be seen that he has already reached the point where he can't stand the corruption of the Qing court anymore! It's already showing signs of leaning towards us!”
"But I didn't expect him to make a move today!”Ignoring Zhu Zhixin, Hu Hanmin said excitedly.
Although Li Donghan was not from the Alliance, his actions now undoubtedly showed his intention to overthrow the Qing Dynasty! In Hu Hanmin's opinion, it didn't matter whether they were from the Alliance or not, as long as their goals were the same.
"Li Donghan wants to use his own strength to stir up trouble in eastern Guangdong. I wonder if he can succeed?”Liao Zhongkai said worriedly.
After all, it seemed that only Li Donghan's new army was participating in this uprising. The Alliance did not know the situation, and it was even more impossible for them to participate!
The Manchu forces in eastern Guangdong were very powerful. They had organized many uprisings but failed. For example, the uprising of the new army last year was similar to the current one. They all failed.
Liao Zhongkai was a little worried about the current situation. Hu Hanmin was right. Whether Li Donghan was a member of the Alliance or not, as long as he resisted the Qing Dynasty, he was a comrade!
"That's right! Since Li Donghan was going to start a riot today, why didn't he contact us? I didn't tell you last night either! Otherwise, if we attack together, the chances of success will be higher!”Chen Jiongming said softly.
Ever since the new army entered the city, they had no choice but to stay in their houses. They had no idea what was going on outside. They did not know that the patrol camp had been defeated by the new army.
Donghan was sending people to attack those important targets! The situation of the new army was good. They thought that it would be very difficult to fight, but it was completely based on the experience of last year's uprising!
"Maybe they just met and have some misgivings about us!”Su Gang, who had been silent all this while, said in a low voice.
She had a deeper impression of Li Donghan. She could tell that he was a very confident man. Perhaps he believed that he could succeed with his own strength!
Moreover, she was also very shocked by what was happening now. Even though she had always advocated for Li Donghan to join the revolutionary team, she had a good impression of him.
Li Donghan held 49 associations in his hands and held a pivotal position in Eastern Guangdong. There were many factors that made it impossible for the Alliance to ignore Li Donghan's existence!
At some point, Su Gang felt that this man was really extraordinary!
"That's very likely! However, this matter happened too suddenly. We were not prepared at all!”Hu Hanmin said regretfully.
She still wanted to participate in the uprising with Li Donghan? But now, they were trapped in the house by the soldiers outside!
Moreover, if the Alliance really came, how much power could they contribute? There was no foundation in the army, so what if they only relied on those gangsters?
Moreover, those were the existences that Li Donghan had wanted to eliminate previously. They were all gang members who used the name of revolution to run amok. If they joined forces with those people, they would only cause trouble for Li Donghan!
Moreover, those people would bring disaster to the city. This was the most fundamental thing. Li Donghan did not care about the power of the revolutionary party and did not want to play with them!
"I hope Li Donghan succeeds!" Su Lan said calmly. The others nodded in agreement, hoping that Li Donghan would succeed.
They were also uncomfortable because they could not lead the uprising this time. After all, they were the ones who organized the previous uprising in eastern Guangdong.
This represented the distribution of power in eastern Guangdong after the uprising. Fortunately, they felt that everything was still about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty!
In the afternoon, the gunshots in Huacheng had basically disappeared. This meant that the new army had completely occupied Huacheng!
Even if there were some patrol battalion soldiers and Eight Banners Green Camp soldiers scattered in the corners of the city, it would not affect the overall situation.
In the general's manor in Huacheng, Li Donghan looked at Fengshan's corpse in front of him without any expression on his face. However, he still expressed his admiration for the Manchu general's suicide.
There were not many Manchu people who could use courage like Fengshan!
He ordered people to clean up Fengshan's corpse and bury it in a few days. Then, he saw Jiang Fangzhen walking over!
"My lord! The brothers at the south gate had discovered Zhang Mingqi, who was trying to escape the city in disguise. Now that they had caught him, they did not know how to deal with him!”Jiang Fangzhen said softly beside Li Donghan.
When Li Donghan heard this, he said without much hesitation,""Kill them! Fengshan is dead, and Zhang Mingqi can't live either. Otherwise, it will affect the overall situation of our eastern Guangdong!”
On the one hand, he had killed Zhang Mingqi because he wanted to control East Guangdong. After all, if the Governor of East Guangdong still existed, it would be easy for those loyal to the Qing government to have ideas.
Then there was Li Donghan's impression of Zhang Mingqi. He had defected to the Japanese and become a traitor. Li Donghan had long wanted to get rid of him.
Now that he was able to shoot him and die without pain, it was already considered easy for him! The matter of Zhang Mingqi was also decided!
Donghan said to Jiang Fangzhen,""Brother Baili, although the City of Flowers is now under our control, the crisis is still not resolved!”
"The Flower City Navy is still eyeing us covetously!”
