The general trend in Zhang Mingqi has gone.

In October 1911, Wuchang Uprising broke out. Guangdong revolutionaries and the people are also moved by the wind. Zhang Mingqi urged Long Jiguang to return to Yunnan and Guangxi to recruit troops, trying to keep Guangdong. On October 13th, Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu Province, invited Zhang Mingqi to take the title, and asked him to "reorganize the cabinet and declare constitutionalism" to save the situation of the Qing court. Zhang Mingqi's answer that "the time is still right" is to wait and see the situation. On October 29th, Guangzhou General Fengshan arrived in Guangzhou for his post and was killed by revolutionaries. Wuyangcheng was once again in a state of jittery and chaos. On the same day, local gentlemen held a meeting in Guangzhou Wenlan Academy, urging Zhang Mingqi to compromise with the revolutionaries. Zhang Mingqi quickly summoned the imperial court to recall Pro-Gui and reshuffle the cabinet, and also requested that the revolutionaries Wang Jingwei and Chen Jinghua, who attempted to assassinate the Regent and Minister of Military Aircraft Zai Feng in Beijing, be transferred to Guangdong for use. Zhang's contingency measures did not meet the requirements of the people. On October 29, all circles of business in Guangzhou gathered to discuss the education hall, and the referendum recognized * * * and the regime. In the afternoon, I discussed the integration of Manchu and Han in Wenlan Academy. At this time, the white flag of "Guangdong independence" was erected outside the academy, and firecrackers were set off. Shops also flaunted, announced lights and set off firecrackers to show their support. More than 2 thousand people flocked to the front of the governor's office to petition for independence. Zhang Mingqi avoided it. That night, Zhang Mingqi learned that the Qing army led by Yuan Shikai won in Hanyang, and his attitude became tough again. He ordered Long Jiguang to send people to the street to tear up flags, slogans and lanterns, patrol and arrest people, and notice that "all laws should be punished to warn them". The next day, Guangzhou went on strike. At this time, soldiers and civilians from all over the country swarmed and advanced on Guangzhou. Lee Joon has been in secret contact with revolutionaries, and Long Jiguang's attitude is becoming increasingly ambiguous. When Zhang Mingqi saw that the army was shaken, he knew that the tide was gone and the situation was irreversible. On November 5th, when people from all walks of life discussed the formation of a new government at the Consultative Council, Zhang Mingqi sent representatives to attend, expressing his willingness to hand over political power. After discussion by the gentlemen, Zhang Mingqi was elected as the temporary viceroy and Long Jiguang as the deputy viceroy. When the representatives of the people sent the seal of the viceroy to the yamen, they were disappointed. It turns out that Zhang Mingqi is unwilling to follow the revolution and has already escaped. On November 6th, Zhang Mingqi took a British warship and fled to Hongkong. Soon, I went to Japan again.
