On October 2, 1901, Zheng Shiliang and others launched the Huizhou Uprising
On this day, 124 years ago, on October 2, 1901 (August 20, 1901 in the lunar calendar), Zheng Shiliang and others launched the Huizhou Uprising. Zheng Shiliang In early October 1901, Zheng Shiliang chose Sanzhoutian, Guishan County as the base area to prepare for the uprising. Sanzhoutian was an area where the gangs gathered. The triads penetrated deep into the surrounding countryside and gathered 600 elite people. However, they lacked weapons and ammunition and were increasingly short of military rations. They had no choice but to disperse their troops, leaving only 80 people to guard Dazhai. However, news had spread that Guangdong Governor Deshou was surrounding Sanzhoutian. Zheng Tuliang sent an urgent telegram to Sun Yat-sen requesting quick assistance. Sun Yat-sen replied that preparations were not complete and that they were temporarily disbanded. Zheng Shiliang called Sun Yat-sen again, still asking him to find ways to quickly provide ammunition. Sun Yat-sen replied: "If you can stand out, you can go straight to Xiamen and you will have assistance here." At this time, the Qing army was approaching Sanzhoutian. The rebels were forced to attack. On the evening of the 6th, Huang Fu led 80 people to attack the Qing army at night, killing 40 people and capturing more than 30 alive. The initial battle was won. Huang Fu planned to seize the victory and pursue at dawn, but Zheng Shiliang ordered the entire army to divert its course towards Xiamen and take over Huang Fu's command position. On the 15th, the rebels attacked Pingshan and captured a large number of guns and ammunition. At the same time, Liang Muguang and others also responded in Boluo, and more than a thousand people rushed to Boluo City. On the 17th, the rebels fought again with the Qing army at Yonghu, and on the 20th, they won again at Benggangxu. The number of people who joined the army increased, with more than 20,000 soldiers camping in Baisha. At this time, the rebels had run out of guns and ammunition. At this time, Sun Yat-sen called Miyazaki, ordering the guns borrowed from the Philippines to be quickly sent to Huizhou; at the same time, he approached Taro Yugenote, the Governor of Taiwan and Japan, for assistance with weapons and ammunition. However, Philippine ordnance is all waste and cannot be used. Japan's new Prime Minister Ito Hiroshi prohibited the governor of Taiwan from helping the revolutionaries, so that Sun Yat-sen had no weapons to provide assistance to the mainland. The initiator of the uprising in Guangzhou was Shi Jianru. In order to raise funds for the uprising, he and his brother Shi Guyu sold their respective properties. The original date for the uprising was set, but it was postponed before the trapped ordnance arrived. At this time, he heard that Sanzhoutian had launched in advance, and decided to take risks in order to relieve the difficulties of the Sanzhoutian Rebellion Army. He rented a house near the governor's office, and Deng Yinnan brought explosives in to kill Deshou. On the 27th, he dug the ground overnight, set up an explosive detonation facility, and lit incense, but the explosive thread was not lit. On the morning of the 28th, he lit incense again and went out to observe. Sure enough, there was a loud bang and the rear wall of the Ministry of Defense collapsed more than 10 feet. Deshou was thrown from his bed and fell to the ground. On the 29th, Shi Jianru was arrested at the dock.
