Regarding the uprising in Guizhou, He Yingqin, who is the husband of Wang Wenxiang, Wang Wenhua's sister, mentioned it in the article "The 50th Anniversary of the First Uprising in Yunnan and Guizhou". This provides an alternative perspective, which is excerpted below:

"When in December of the second year of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai convened the government. Govern. Yes. Mr. Wang Boqun went to Beijing as a representative of Guizhou, and knew that the Yuan clan would seek the imperial system, so he stayed in Beijing and Tianjin to investigate his inside story and get the best of his feelings. The imperial system was discussed, and Bo Qun and Cai Ye conspired to revolt against Yuan, and they watched from the wall.

"Bo Qun said: 'Guizhou's intentions, Yu brother Wang Wenhua can influence it. And all the troops are strong, but they can also fight. Brother Yu knew that the Republic of China would be in danger of the Yuan family, and he would be able to sharpen his strength for a long time. ’

"Ye said: 'Now I know that Jun Kunji is very human. Qian can be lifted together, Yunnan is not alone, why hesitate. I should venture into Yunnan. ’

Therefore, the book asked Boqun to go to Yunnan first and plot the deployment. In October of the fourth year of the Republic of China, Boqunjian Road went to Kunming, and the Father of the Kingdom ordered Lu Zhiyi, Li Liejun, Fang Shengtao, and Xiong Kewu to enter Yunnan one after another. Lu Zhiyi first went to Yunnan Yuan, and according to the telegram order of the Beijing Army Command Office, he was detained at the police department, and Lu Han Deng Taizhong and Yang Zhen asked for help, and Zheng and Yang went to the police department to lure Lu out, and told Tang Jiyao to tell him that Tang Mingtai was in his home.

"Boqun made a secret plan with Li and Pin, and handed it to Tang with a letter from Cai, and Tang said: 'If you go to Songpo, you will have this move'

"On December 18, the city moved from Haiphong to Yunnan. The next day, Cai Yi, Wang Boqun, Li Liejun, Ren Kecheng, Luo Peijin, Liu Zuwu, Zhang Zizhen, Fang Shengtao, Xiong Kewu, Huang Yucheng, Gu Pinzhen, Yin Chengxian, Yang Zhen, Gong Zhenpeng, Ji Yiqiao, Dai Huan, Li Yanbin, and others gathered in Tang Jiyao's apartment, and agreed to call Yuan first, urging him to cancel the imperial system, and punish Yang Du and 13 others to thank the countrymen and give them a reply within 24 hours. On the 21st of the same month, they took a joint oath. Ren Kecheng was a native of Guizhou, and the official Yunnan patrol envoy at the time. Shangdian was named by Tang Jiyao and Ke Cheng, Tang Shang was crowned with the rank of General Kaiwu to supervise the military affairs of Yunnan, and Ren Yu was crowned with the title of Yunnan Patrol Envoy.

"Fang Wang Boqun went to Yunnan also, that is, he secretly attacked his brother Wang Wenhua and fought horses, and raised righteousness at the same time as Yunnan Province. Wenhua asked Liu Xianshi, the governor of Guizhou, to set up a model battalion, transfer cadres at all levels, give political training, and tell him to protect the country's righteousness and fight against thieves. Everyone was excited. and receiving a telegram from Yunnan on the date of the uprising, Wenhua asked Yu Xianshi to announce his fight against Yuan on the same day as Yunnan.

"The world is left and right to protect the realm as a word, and the mud is in the mud, and the words of Wenhua are refuted, saying: 'I and the Republic of China, swear to live and die together, and things must be done. Today's head can be broken, the will cannot be taken, please the governor with the first regiment to change, kill yourself and exterminate the clan, Wenhua deserves it. If the heavens are in China, things will be successful, and all the credit will be attributed to the governor. 'The army is all on the left, and the world listens to it.

The post was to declare independence as late as January 27 of the following year, and promoted Xianshi as the governor, Dai Huan as the commander-in-chief of the right wing of the First Army to aid Sichuan, and Wang Wenhua as the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, leading the troops to Hunan. Yuan Shikai was falsely ordered to remove Liu Xianshi from his post as governor. With Tang Erkun supervising Guizhou's military affairs, Liu Xianqian was the Guizhou patrol envoy, hoping that he would fight among themselves and reap the benefits of fishing, but the people's will was unsuccessful, and it was only in vain.

"At the beginning, Wenhua received a secret letter from his brother Mr. Boqun, and concentrated his troops in the areas of Zhenyuan and Tongren in Qiandong before Yunnan declared independence, and prepared for battle. At that time, Yuan Shikai had ordered Ma Jizhen to lead the 6th Division of, benefiting from Lu Jinshan's 18th mixed brigade with 30,000 cavalry and 100,000 troops, to force Chenzhou and invade Qiandong in the west of the Yuan River. On the morning of the twenty-fifth day of January, the Yuan army of Huangzhou came to attack and defeated it. On 2 February, Wenhua repelled the Yuan army from Huangzhou, formed a mixed group, fought fiercely for three hours, and then conquered Huangzhou.

After telling the second head of the regiment, Peng Wenzhi, that he would bring the two, Wenhua said: "His subordinates are well aware of the righteousness of Yuan, and they will never move, how can the two do?" "Send Lu Tao to replace him, and Wenzhi will escape. The righteousness is not open, and the effect of building a model camp to implement political training is also good. Yuan Jun retreated to Wu Gongguan, which was thirty miles away from Huang, and resisted with great risk. After a day and night of fierce fighting, he was defeated. And the Li Gu detachment Wu regiment commander also met with Yuan Jun in Huping Mine and other places, desperate to the death, the soldiers were all one as ten, bravely forward, Yuan Jun retreated, took advantage of the victory to chase it, the momentum was like a bamboo, entered Qianyang, occupied Hongjiang, and made an appointment to attack Yuanzhou.

"On the thirteenth, the Wenhua overseer army attacked Yuanzhou, the Li Gu detachment attacked from the right, the Yuan army burned many houses and retreated, and the army was defeated, and the head of Wu was also killed due to the drama. On the 16th, Yuan's army was repulsed in Mayang and fled to the Phoenix Hall. The guns and military supplies captured by the Guizhou army are not counted. Wenhua reinstated the guerrilla commander Wang Huayi and the Hunan infantry led Zhou Zefan to Kejing County and occupied Wugang. Since the start of the war in Huangzhou, Dieke is in danger, breaking the three mixed regiments of Yuan's army, annihilating the entire brigade of Lu Jinshan, Ma Jizhen has repeatedly stumbled, and committed suicide in shame. Xiangxi is determined, and there is no longer Yuan's power.

"It is a service, and the attack of the Guizhou people on Hunan is no less than the attack on Sichuan by the Yunnan army. And the people who contributed to Yuan Zhi's shame and anger died, the two battles of Shichuan and Hunan also caused it. Yunnan and Guizhou are dependent on each other, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a governor, and the same language family, like brothers, so they can unite as one, and protect the country, and test its beginning and end, the Guizhou people involved in its affairs, Mr. Wang Boqun is one of the active people. ”

The successful uprising in Guizhou stabilized Yunnan's periphery and made the Beiyang Army feel threatened in Hunan and Sichuan provinces.

On February 8, Yuan Zheng. The government ordered the investigation of Liu Xianshi, and sent Tang Erkun, the commander of the Guizhou army, to succeed him as the envoy of the Guizhou army.

The Guizhou army was organized as the right wing army of the First Army of the Protectorate and included in the battle sequence of the First Army of the Protectorate. Cai Yi, Tang Jiyao, and Liu Xianshi immediately appointed Dai Jian as the commander-in-chief of the right wing of the First Army to protect the country.

The Right Wing Army of the First Army of the Protectorate was composed of two troops, the North Road and the East Road.

The Northern Route Army was organized into a ladder regiment by the Guizhou Yunnan Army and the Fifth and Sixth Regiments of the Guizhou Army, with more than 2,000 people, and Xiong Qixun served as the commander of the ladder. Went north out of Songkan, attacked Qijiang, and coerced Chongqing to cooperate with the main attack of the Central Route Army of the First Army of the Southern Sichuan Protector Army.

The East Route Army was composed of the first, second, and third regiments of the Guizhou Army, with more than 3,000 people, commanded by Wang Wenhua, the commander of the first regiment of the former Guizhou Army.

On 4 February, Dai Huan led the Northern Route Army to set out, entered Songkan on the 8th, and set up a headquarters at the Shawan Post Station.

In order to deal with Yunnan and Guizhou provinces to send troops to Sichuan and Hunan, Yuan Shikai ordered the first division of the Sichuan Army Zhou Junbu Liu Huchen, Yan Xiangwen, Zhang Pengwu and other regiments to be stationed in the Qijiang area at the beginning of the outbreak of the Protectorate War.

At the beginning of March 1916, the Beiyang Army's Qi Xieyuan Brigade and Li Bing's Brigade were transferred to Qijiang to block the Guizhou Army from entering Sichuan. As a result, the Qijiang battlefield became the third major battlefield in Sichuan after Luna and Syria in the Protectorate War.

On 11 February, Dai Jian ordered his troops to launch an attack on the Beiyang Army assembled on the Sichuan-Guizhou border from Songkan by eastern, central, and western routes.

The eastern route was led by Hu Zhongxiang, the acting commander of the 6th Regiment, and set out from Songkan to attack the Beiyang Army at Qingyang Temple. The western route was Lu Hanchen as the detachment leader, and set out from Songkan to attack Dongxi. Led by Xiong Qixun, the head of the middle route, he attacked from the hotel and Chongxi River to Jiupanzi.

At dawn on 14 February, Xiong Qixun led the Central Route Army to launch an attack on Jiupanzi.

Jiupanzi is a big mountain on the border of Sichuan and Guizhou, the ancient road of Sichuan and Guizhou passes through it, the terrain of Jiupanguan on the mountain is very dangerous, it is the gateway of Guizhou into Sichuan, and the place where soldiers must fight.

When the Protector Army arrived at Jiupanzi, the Beiyang Army had already built fortifications on Jiupan Pass, condescendingly, and held on to the danger, just at this time the temperature plummeted, and freezing rain fell in the sky, which increased the difficulty of the Protector Army's attack.

However, in the face of difficulties, the national defenders did not flinch, under the leadership of Li Yanbin, the commander of the former enemy, some soldiers went up barefoot and stepped on ice slag, and some soldiers climbed vines from the rocks and rushed forward to Jiupanzi in the face of the enemy's fierce fire net, and the battle was very fierce.

When the infantry was attacking from the back, the artillery cooperated closely, and countless shells accurately fell into the enemy's position and exploded, and suddenly the enemy's position was filled with gunsmoke, and a raging fire burned in the fortifications, and the wind helped the fire to burn along the enemy's fortifications, and the enemy's position was in chaos. The Protector Army took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack and finally broke through the Jiupan Pass.

After an hour of white-knuckle fighting, the defending enemy broke and fled, and the Protector Army occupied Jiupan Pass, tearing open the passage into the Sichuan Realm.

The first battle of the middle road was victorious, the east and west roads took advantage of the momentum and bravely, even the battle was victorious, Qingyang Temple, Dongxi were conquered one after another, and took advantage of the victory to catch the water, over the water, orange ping.

On the 15th, the three road protector armies attacked and advanced together, captured Makouya before noon, and the forward quickly entered the Qiaoba River, which was only more than ten miles away from Qijiang County.

The Protector Army approached the city, Qijiang City shook, and the defenders in the city were extremely panicked, and sent a large number of troops to block the Protector Army.

During the attack on the Qiaoba River, due to the flatness of the river valley, the Beiyang Army had already dug trenches on the opposite bank, and the terrain was extremely unfavorable to the Protector Army, coupled with heavy rainfall. After four days and nights of bloody battles, although eight battles and eight victories, the reinforcements of the defending enemy increased, and with the stubborn resistance of the trenches, Qijiang County was difficult to capture for a while.

On 17 February, Yin Chengzhen, chief of staff of the Third Army of the Protectorate, led the Huafengge detachment to Songkan, and after a short rest, he joined the battle to attack Qijiang.

At this time, Cai Yi was commanding the Protector Army and the Beiyang Army to fight fiercely in the area of Naxi and Mianpo. In order to prevent the Yuan army of Chongqing from aiding Luzhou in the west, Cai Yi ordered the Guizhou army on the north road of Dai Huan to quickly descend the Qijiang River, and attack Jiangjin in the west to intercept the enemy who reinforced Luzhou.

At this time, more than 1,000 people of the Beiyang Army had first defended Longtai Temple from Jiangjin, and the Sixth Regiment of the Guizhou Army drove to Longtai Temple in one platoon, and the other platoon went to Gaomiaozi, and the enemy and our two armies then fought fiercely in the area of Longtai Temple between Qijiang and Jiangjin. As soon as the two platoons of the Guizhou army entered the position, they were all encircled, and the platoon to Gaomiao was completely annihilated, and only one sergeant fled back.

In the face of the sudden change in the military situation, the headquarters of the Right Wing Army of the Protectorate immediately mobilized heavy troops and organized a counterattack. On the 23rd, Xiong Qixun commanded the Protector Army to launch a fierce attack on the enemy, and after fierce fighting, occupied Longtai Temple and Lion Rock the next day. On the same day, the Beiyang Army transferred an infantry regiment from Jiangjin with two machine guns and six cannons to attack Longtai Temple and Gaomiao through Triangle Pond, with the intention of recapturing Dongxi and copying the back road of the Protector Army.

The Protector Army saw through the enemy's attempt in time, Xiong Qixun immediately ordered two battalions to besiege the Northern Army from all sides, and fought fiercely for a day and night, the enemy was defeated and fled, and the Protector Army pursued to the Triangle Pond. Subsequently, the Protector Army and the Northern Army engaged in a fierce tug-of-war between the Qijiang River and Jiangjin and the areas south of it.

On 16 March, Cai Yi sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Right Wing Army of the Protector Army: "Recently, the enemy army has been marching towards Chongqing, fearing that it will take the defensive position in Luzhou and the offensive in Qijiang. ”

According to the changes in the situation and Cai Yi's instructions, Dai Huan decided that the right wing army would change militarily from active offensive to active defense, and gradually retreat to Songkan to defend and contain the northern army.

The right wing of the First Army of the Protectorate Army fought fiercely with the Beiyang Army ten times its size in the Qijiang battlefield for more than a month, although due to the long battle line and the serious shortage of troops, it failed to break through the Qijiang defense line of the Northern Army, but after a bloody battle, it dealt a heavy blow to the Beiyang Army, effectively contained the Beiyang Army, and gave strong support to the Protector Army in the battles of Xufu and Luna.
