辛亥革命首先发难于南方新军并迅速得到各地响应,与革命党人在新军中成功地进行宣传鼓动密不可分。而不少新军统帅对革命默认、容忍甚至响应支持,为革命党人在新军中的活动提供了便利,从而客观上有利于辛亥革命的发动。新军第九镇统制徐绍桢就是这类统帅的典型。 The 1911 Revolution first caught fire in the new army in the South and quickly got responses everywhere. It was inseparable from the successful propaganda and agitation of the revolutionaries in the New Army. Many commanders of the New Army acquiesced to the revolution by default, tolerating and even responding to their support, which facilitated the activities of the revolutionaries in the New Army, thus objectively contributing to the launch of the 1911 Revolution. The ninth army of the New Fourth Army Xu Shaozhen is a typical example of such a commander in chief.
