The culprit who caused the demise of the Qing Dynasty was a high-ranking official at the time?

On the question of why the Qing Dynasty fell apart and exited the stage of history all of a sudden, there are a lot of different assertions in history, which are all valid, so we won't delve into them today. But when it comes to the first person who pushed up the wall, there is a lot to be said here. Some people may say that it was Dr SUN Yat-sen because without his speeches and spurring on the nation day and night, there would not have been the Wuchang Uprising. Of course, some people think it was Yuan Shikai. If Yuan Shikai hadn't taken the last armed forces of the Qing Dynasty into his own hands, and if he hadn't turned against them, it wouldn't have been a matter of minutes for the Beiyang New Army to clean up the insurgents. For these claims seem reasonable but not all reasonable, because if it is not the success of the Wuchang Uprising, then there will not be two people what happened, after all, at that time Sun Yat-sen is washing dishes, Yuan Shikai is still fishing it.

So in-depth, but also from the Wuchang Uprising inside to find. The reason why the Wuchang Uprising was able to succeed, in addition to the mutiny of the soldiers can not avoid a person is the then Governor of Huguang Rui Cheng. Rui Cheng is a Manchu, his grandfather is better known as Qishan. There is a saying is very good, the son of the dragon is naturally dragon, phoenix hatch out of the offspring will not be bad to where. And Qishan's offspring will naturally not be bad. When he was very young, he made his own name in the capital, but this name is a little bit not very good, called the capital of the three evil young man. From here you could see how bad his character was. But it does not matter, after all, is a flag person after all have relations, mix a government position or minutes drop.

I don't know if it is a long time to mix with the officialdom was infected, after he became an official is still considered to be loyal to their duties. He served as governor of Hubei and Guangdong before, when he served in Jiangxi, the rule is also quite powerful tree, banning opium, canceled the establishment of a new police patrol, and the purchase of advanced foreign weapons to combat the jurisdiction of the Jiangyang bandits, etc. Even after serving as governor of Hubei and Guangdong soon after, he was able to get the money to pay for his own work, but he was not able to do so. Even soon after serving as Governor of Hubei and Guangdong Province, he began to conspire with officials from other provinces to submit a joint petition to force the Qing court to reform and establish a new cabinet system. 1911, the outbreak of the road movement in Sichuan, Rui Cheng listened to the proposal of his general Zhang Biao, the new army of Hubei was transferred to Sichuan to suppress the movement of the masses of the road movement at the time, which was the strength of the military strength of Hubei after the transfer of the vacated out. At this time, the Wuchang revolutionaries began to move to do things, but it is not coincidental that the revolutionaries engaged in a bomb when the incident, the nest was terminated, the revolutionary party roster exposed. At this time Rui Cheng has two choices, one is to follow the advice of the Chief Secretary Chen Shuping to destroy the register to stabilize the people. Instead, he listened to his own master Zhang's opinion by the list of all to a nest. But Rui Cheng did not listen to the two men's opinions and chose the worst way.

That is, according to the list to catch some, but catch these people do not kill all, just kill the three leading revolutionaries, and the rest of all released. And the released people are worried about both sides, neither can be trusted. Fear all of a sudden in the new army inside spread, so this group of people will be born against the intention: to wait for death rather than fight, after all, they are soldiers, the hand has a weapon. So the Wuchang Uprising broke out under Rui Cheng's "wise handling".

After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, Rui Cheng then mastered the strength of the troops, as long as he actively face, reasonable mobilization of resources in the hands of the town to sit down on the strong suppression of the words, at that time the group of dragons without a leader of the Wuchang Uprising New Army is no chance at all. But he is still as dim as ever, the gun immediately when the rats in their own residence and the Yangtze River dug a secret passage between the warships fled to the Yangtze River went up. At this point, he completed the push wall of the Qing Dynasty, cleanly. After that, the Qing government is completely powerless, it is because of his incompetence, the Qing dynasty's survivors of the old and the young to him is abhorrent, in the face of the scolding he felt insecure to run to Japan, and finally in the Qing dynasty survivors of the scolding of the birth of the old man in 1915 died of shame, after all, not the game of the game of the first grade official masters like that can be pushed down to start over again.
