Who fired the first shot during the Huanggang Uprising?

The Huanggang Uprising in Chaozhou, also known as the Battle of Huanggang in Ding Wei, was an anti-Qing uprising launched by the Allied League in Huanggang, Chaozhou, Guangdong Province on 1907 (the thirty-third year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty).

The uprising was initiated by Xu Xueqiu appointed by Sun Yat-sen .. Xu Xueqiu (1875- 19 12), also known as Xue Qian, was originally named Youruo. Born in Haiyang (Chao 'an), Guangdong Province, he is the son of a wealthy overseas Chinese in Singapore. At the beginning, he donated the title of alternate Taoist priest to the Qing court, and later he decided to "promote Han with Manchu". 1904 (30th year of Guangxu) returned to China. In the second year, in the name of undertaking the Chaoshan Railway Project and recruiting the Youth League for training, more than 1000 people were gathered to raise funds, which had nothing to do with themselves, and then went to Singapore. 1906 (thirty-two years of Guangxu), met Sun Yat-sen, joined the League, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the East Army of China National Army, presided over military affairs in Lingdong, and then returned to Guangdong to prepare for an armed uprising. After Xue Qiu returned to Chaozhou, he called comrades to discuss ways; And went to Hong Kong to meet Feng Ziyou (188 1- 1958) and so on. Said the time was ripe, but there was a shortage of talents. Please send comrades from ITU headquarters back to China to help. Later, Sun Yat-sen sent people to cooperate with the snow mound to step up preparations for the uprising. After the failure of Liu Yishiping's uprising, the Qing government asked the Japanese government to expel Sun Yat-sen from the country. 1On March 4th, 907 (20th day of the first month of Guangxu thirty-three years), Sun Yat-sen was forced to leave Japan for Annan (now Vietnam). Immediately after arriving in Hanoi, the General Organ for Leading the Southwest Armed Uprising was set up at No.61Gambida Street, and it was ready to organize and lead the uprisings in the three nearby provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. He believes that these provinces are located in the frontier, have a good mass base and are easy to launch; Wide area, convenient for circuitous operations; It is especially conducive to transporting weapons and personnel from abroad. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen decided to revolt at the same time in Qinzhou (now Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) and Lianzhou (now Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) in western Guangdong and Chaozhou and Huizhou in eastern Guangdong. Xu Xueqiu is still in charge of Chaozhou Uprising. Xu Tong, Yu Chengcheng and Chen Yongbo, leaders of the Hui Party, started the organization of the Hui Party. However, due to the leakage of news, Huang, commander-in-chief of Chaozhou Prefecture of the Qing army, and Long Xi, director of Huanggang were alarmed. On May 2 1 day (April 10), Jin Fu sent dozens of soldiers to Huanggang Town to arrest two congregations under an excuse. The next day, Yu Chengcheng gathered more than 200 people in the party to rebel outside Huanggang. After a night of bloody battle, Huanggang was conquered. On 23rd (12), the insurgents set up a military government in the old Dousi yamen, with Chen Yongbo as commander and Yu Chengjiu and Zhang Yue as deputy commanders, and announced their daughters in the name of "Sun Yat-sen, the commander of Guangdong National Army" or "Sun Yat-sen, the commander of Daming". The rebels are disciplined and crime-free in autumn, and are deeply supported by the masses. The poor people in the vicinity joined the rebel army one after another, and the team soon grew to five or six thousand people. However, the uprising happened in a hurry, and the specific host did not understand the overall plan. After the incident, he sent someone to Hong Kong to invite Xu Xueqiu to supervise the rebels. At the right time, the Qing army of Jin Fuli Department has arrived in Chaozhou, 20 miles away from Huanggang. The rebel army decided: the soldiers were divided into two ways, one led by Chen Yongbo and headed for Chaozhou and Shantou, with the goal of capturing Jin Fu's nest when he took his troops out; One route, led by Yucheng, went straight to Chaozhou and attacked Jinfu Department. On 25th (14th), both armies set out at the same time. It was dawn when we arrived in Chaozhou, and the Qing army was ready and lost the first battle. When the rebels who attacked Chaoshan learned that Chaozhou was defeated, they changed their plans and moved to the remaining rebels. Two roads will attack Jin Fuqing's army, and the enemy is in danger. At this moment, reinforcements sent by Lee Joon, the navy commander of Guangdong and Guangxi in Qing Dynasty, arrived and attacked the rebels on both sides, but Chaozhou Prefecture failed to capture them. On 27th (16th), Chen and Yu decided to disband their team and move to Hong Kong, and the uprising failed.
