Features: After the Wuchang Uprising broke out, the Qing government was in a state of panic. On October 12, the Qing government ordered the Minister of War Yin Chang to lead two divisions of the Beiyang Army to quickly rush to Hubei for "suppression." On the 14th, the troops led by Yin Chang were organized into the Army, and Beiyang general Feng Guozhang was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Second Army, who also gradually arrived in Hubei to assist in the battle. The main force of the Beiyang Army, except for one division left to assist in guarding the capital, were almost all successively deployed to the Hubei battlefield. At the same time, the Qing government also ordered the Commander of the Navy Sa Zhenbing to lead the naval forces and the Yangtze River Fleet to quickly move to the Wuhan river to coordinate with the Beiyang Army in the battle. This book is based on many works published in recent years that reflect the political turmoil of the late Qing Dynasty and the research achievements of the Xinhai Revolution over the years.
