"Emperor" Puyi and "Rebellious" Xiong Bingkun met, Puyi said: Let me propose a toast to you.

In the history of the Revolution of 1911, there was an iron-blooded general named Xiong Bingkun by Sun Yat-sen as "shooting a bear with one gun". At that time, he was a leader of Hubei New Army in the late Qing Dynasty (equivalent to today's squad leader), who took the lead in launching the Wuchang Uprising of the Revolution of 1911 and made great contributions to overthrowing the Manchu government and implementing the feudal monarchy in China for more than 2,000 years.

1911On the evening of April 27th, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who was far away in the United States, drafted an urgent telegram, secretly ordering Hu and Huang Xing to move the anti-Qing uprising center to Wuhan, because Wuhan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, with developed traffic and great influence.

After receiving the urgent order from Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Hu, Huang Xing immediately sent a special envoy to Wuhan, Hubei Province, summoned Sun Wu and others, and conveyed the urgent order from Dr. Sun Yat-sen. ..

At that time, Xiong Bingkun also attended the meeting. At the meeting, Xiong Bingkun shouted angrily: "Mr. Sun has struggled for decades to realize the anti-Qing plan at an early date. Now he places his hopes on the revolutionaries in Hubei. We must never be timid and face difficulties. As long as all revolutionary groups are United, as long as we insist on military first attack, as long as we have iron strength and iron spirit of determination not to be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, we can realize Mr. Sun's anti-Qing plan at an early date.

Xiong Bingkun's heart-to-heart speech was shocking. Jiang Yiwu, Wang Xianzhang, Sun Wu and other leaders immediately agreed and immediately adopted these suggestions. They decided to attack militarily first, set up the highest leading body of Hubei revolutionary group, unified command and make preparations.

Participants were unanimously elected as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Hubei Rebel Army, Sun Wu as the chief of staff, Cai, Zhang Tingfu and Peng Chufan as military preparations, and the general headquarters was located at No.85 Xiaochao Street, Wuchang. As the director of the office, Yang Yuru was elected as the special envoy and went to Shanghai to meet Huang Xing and Song and preside over the uprising.

196 1 year, Premier Zhou Enlai, on behalf of the CPC Central Committee, invited celebrities from all walks of life to gather in Beijing to solemnly commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911 led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Xiong Bingkun, who fired the first shot to overthrow the last emperor of China, was the most important person invited.

On the afternoon of September 30th, the State Council held a state banquet in the resplendent Great Hall of the People. Premier Zhou read out the list of all members of the Preparatory Committee to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Revolution of 1911. When Xiong Bingkun heard the name of the last emperor Puyi, he really wanted to meet his sworn enemy 50 years ago.

Who knows, Pu Yi, then a member of the Literature and History Research Committee of China People's Political Consultative Conference, couldn't wait to meet the legendary figure who was praised as "a bear with one shot" by Dr. Sun Yat-sen as soon as he heard Xiong Bingkun's name. He made this request to Comrade Zhang Zhiyi, Vice Minister of the United Front Work Department of China.

Vice Minister Zhang reported to Premier Zhou, who said, "The emperor has been overthrown for 50 years, and they still don't know each other. Please take Commissioner Puyi to see Commissioner Xiong. According to Premier Zhou's instructions, Vice Minister Zhang led Puyi to go. Vice Minister Zhang conveyed Premier Zhou's instructions, and Puyi happily said hello again and again like a child, and had to answer again and again.

Suddenly, Puyi left without saying goodbye. Everyone was surprised. Soon, Puyi filled a glass of wine from the top of her desk and respectfully held it up to Xiong Bingkun and said, "Fifty years ago, you fired the first shot, which knocked down my little emperor who was only five years old at that time, overthrew the Qing Dynasty and transformed me into a new person. You are really something, and you are a hero in today's world. To show my gratitude to you, let me respect you. "

Xiong Bingkun was deeply moved by the words of the "Emperor". He said excitedly: "overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and ending the feudal monarchy in China is the * * * contribution of the people of the 1911."

At the call of the "Emperor", Xiong Bingkun and the delegates at the whole table got to work. Puyi is very happy, thank you for your respect. He repeatedly handed over to everyone and said, "Thank you! Thank you! "

The short meeting left the "emperor" and "rebellion" with no time to finish talking.

On the morning of 196 10 and 13, a historic rally was held in the spacious and bright CPPCC conference room under the careful arrangement of Xiong Bingkun, Wen Chuheng, Li Baizhen, Gansu, former Kyoto garrison commander Lu, Pu Yi and his uncle.

That morning, Xiong Bingkun led everyone to meet them at the gate in advance. When Puyi and Zai Tao's car appeared, Xiong Bingkun and others rushed forward, shook hands with "Emperor" and "Uncle" and hugged them into the conference room. "Emperor" Puyi was moved by this warm scene and took the lead in speaking: "Those who were shot, shelled, civilized, martial, and even driven out came today. I feel very happy, because I am no longer the emperor of Xuan Tong. Emperor Xuan Tong didn't have the blessing to meet you. If you are really the emperor of Xuan Tong, it's strange that you don't scream with fear! "

The frankness and humor of the "emperor" made everyone laugh. Xiong Bingkun also carried forward the first spirit, saying, "In the past, we were sworn enemies, and we drew our swords to meet each other. Today, our sworn enemy is with you, the' emperor'. It's not nine worships, but addressing comrades as equals. This shows that we can all choose good deeds and follow them, and all roads lead to the same goal. It is indeed an anecdote in history. " The speech "Shooting Bear" won warm applause from the audience, especially Puyi, who stood up and nodded to Xiong Bingkun.

Lu, who personally drove the "emperor" out of the palace, said, "Commissioner Pu, do you still remember when I took you out of the palace and asked if you wanted to be an emperor or a common people?" Puyi nodded quickly and said, "I was very impressed, but I was afraid I didn't dare to answer at that time." "Uncle," Zai Tao said quickly, "He was so scared that he thought he was going to see his ancestors."

Zai Tao's words evoked memories of Puyi. He grabbed the conversation and said, "Who knows me? Every dark cloud has a glimmer of hope? I, who thought I was born with a baby, became a self-reliant person. As a guest of Premier Zhou's state banquet, I feel that I am worthy of my ancestors. " Xiong Bingkun took the lead in applauding warmly: "What a wonderful speech! We all say that you are right, history also says that you are right, and future generations will say that you are right. "

Puyi held Xiong Bingkun's hand and said, "Photographer, please take another picture of the last emperor and the bear pat called by Dr. Sun Yat-sen." Click! Click! Keep flashing lights and take pictures of all the treasures in history.

No discord, no concord. "Emperor" and "rebellion" really have endless thoughts. They talked from morning till noon, and Zhou Enlai specially arranged a "reunion dinner" for them.
