At the end of the military meeting, Cai said in a serious tone: "The most important thing for us to raise righteousness this time is to win the sympathy of all parties in the country and ask for more help." Bei Geng (Tang Jiyao) as a local official, if he leads the army to the expedition, it is easy to arouse the suspicion that the neighboring provinces think that it is a pseudonymous invasion, in the past the Yunnan army disturbed Sichuan has been suspicious, if you do not avoid suspicion now, it is easier to be provoked by Yuan Shikai, and it is the opposite, so the unified army should be sent out by me and Xiehe (Li Liejun). As for sitting in the rear, leading the military and government. The government is responsible for it, and it must not be humble. ”

Cai Ye's words were very touching, and he himself burst into tears. The participants applauded unanimously.

At this meeting, in front of a long table, Tang Jiyao and Cai Ye sat side by side in the chairman's seat. It was at this meeting that Tang Jiyao was elected as the military and political protector of Yunnan. The governor of the prefecture became the supreme commander of the Protector Army in Yunnan. However, in order to honor Cai Yi, Tang Jiyao's seat has been half sideways to show that he is not side by side with Cai.

The scene was equally moving. What is Parenting? What is character? There should be something to be learned here.

The meeting decided to establish three armies for the Protector Army, with Cai Ye as the commander-in-chief of the First Army; Li Liejun was the commander-in-chief of the Second Army; Tang Jiyao was also the commander-in-chief of the Third Army.

Tang Jiyao solemnly expressed three points to the participants: (1) With regard to the military system and military orders, all matters involving general affairs should only be carried out in the name of the Yunnan Military Governor's Office. (2) Generals Cai and Li were both appointed, and letters of consultation were used for correspondence. (3) The proclamation to the outside world is to be jointly signed by Tang, Cai, and Li. Therefore, the telegrams issued by the National Protector Army later were all jointly listed by Tang Jiyao, Cai Yi, Li Liejun, etc. Although the commander-in-chief of the army is subordinate to the military government. house, but the three Yuan Rong's correspondence were all in an equal tone.

Stand up in times of national trouble, and history should record the names of these people.

At that time, the Chinese people still attached great importance to the concept of region and locality. Judging from the origins and parties of the above-mentioned personnel, the National Protector Army has indeed fulfilled its promise: "There is no division between north and south, no matter whether the province is A or B, and the same territory is the same as the people, but it is equivalent to the merits of the process, and it will work together, and will never participate in the regional concept and start the split; Yuan has the same mentality to save the country, but if it can help me open my eyes, I should be cited as a comrade, and all the opinions of the former parties will of course be dissolved, and there will be no bias."

Among them was one person, Zhu Zhu, the commander of the sixth detachment of the First Army. De, not bad, this is the well-known and famous Mr. Zhu. Cinnabar. There is an article in memory of his mother, which was included in a middle school Chinese textbook. There he mentioned that one of his family's foreign debts had only been paid off when he was a brigade commander in the Protectorate. It's just that at this time, he was still a detachment leader, that is, a regiment commander.

Before the Hongxian Empire, Yuan Shikai had always regarded Yunnan as a dissident and implemented a policy of reduction of Yunnan's army. Yunnan's military spending has been pressed again and again. In the third year of the Republic of China, Yunnan's military expenditure had dropped to more than 320,000 yuan, and in the fourth year of the Republic of China, it had been reduced to more than 240,000 yuan, a decrease of another quarter.

Due to the reduction in military spending, it is naturally impossible to increase the number of troops. Therefore, at that time, there were only two divisions in active duty in Yunnan, a mixed brigade, a group of military police, more than 10 independent infantry companies, an independent infantry battalion, and 93 guard units.

In the plan to send troops to fight against Yuan, the First Army was to organize three echelon regiments out of Sichuan, the Second Army to organize two echelon regiments to leave Guangxi and enter Guangdong, and the Third Army to organize one echelon regiment and an advance column to leave Guizhou to join Hunan.

There was a detachment of troops in Wuding, with a distant map of Chengdu, and another army marched from Guizhou to Chen, Yuan, and Changde, waiting for an opportunity to march into Wuhan, Jing, and Xiang. As a result, most of Yunnan's elite active troops have been emptied. Both the front and the rear require a large number of personnel to replenish it.

Tang Jiyao immediately appointed Meng Zidaoyin and He Guojun, chief of staff of the Second Army of the National Protector Army, as the commander of the Volunteer Army, and recruited more than 4,000 volunteers. Ma Wenzhuo was appointed as the guerrilla commander, Huang Wenzhong was the guerrilla commander, and a recruitment office was set up in Kunming. The 20th Regiment of the New Army (the original 8th Regiment), the 4th Regiment of the Guard Regiment (the original 2nd Regiment), and the 1 Regiment of Cavalry and 1 Regiment of Artillery were added.

The heads of the new regiments are:

Lu Guofan is the head of the ninth regiment, Zhu Guofan. De is the head of the 10th regiment, Sheng Rongchao is the head of the 11th regiment, Yang Tizhen is the 12th regiment leader, Li Xiujia is the 13th regiment leader, Huang Yongshe is the 14th regiment leader, Li Zhisheng is the 15th regiment leader, Liu Fakun is the 16th regiment leader, Ma Weilin is the 17th regiment leader, Ma Cong is the 18th regiment leader, Miao Jiashou is the 19th regiment leader, Ma Zhen is the 20th regiment leader, Ma Liang is the 21st regiment leader, Deng Xun is the 22nd regiment leader, Lin Guiqing is the 23rd regiment leader, Xu Zhenhai is the 24th regiment leader, Fang Shengtao is the 25th regiment leader, Qian Kaijia is the 26th regiment leader, Duan Tingzuo is the 27th regiment leader, Zhou Zonglian was the commander of the 28th Regiment, Chen Weigeng was the commander of the 2nd Guard Regiment, Ye Quan was also the commander of the 4th Guard Regiment, Liao Dinggao was the commander of the cavalry, and Li Chaoyang was the commander of the artillery regiment.

The regiments were set up one after another, trained diligently day and night, and prepared for the battle, which was twice as many as before the uprising.

For nine months, it is more than 180,000 yuan per month.

(4) Set up a fund-raising bureau to persuade the honest gentry of the counties to donate funds and wages.
