Chapter 605: Asking for Others
.lā .
It turned out that Cai Ye came to Beijing to resist the British and French invasion of the southwest border, this Cai Ye since he served as the overseer of Yunnan, actively built new schools, reformed the political system, eliminated ills, developed industry to support industry and commerce, under his efforts, Yunnan was a thriving scene.
However, Cai was sensitively aware of the French peeping into Yunnan and the British coveting Xizang, and he knew that it would be difficult for the British and French to fight against the British and French with the strength of Yunnan alone, so he proposed a military alliance policy of the five provinces of "Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and Guizhou" to resist the British and French invasion.
However, Cai's actions were mistaken for his attempt to occupy the territory of the five provinces and become the king of the southwest, so it was not until the Zang people rioted in Sichuan that Yin Hengchang, the governor of Sichuan Province, reached an agreement with Cai to eliminate the rioters.
If Cai Ye wanted to get more support, he had to get permission from the central government, so he personally went to Beijing to ask Yuan Shikai for the central government's approval of the joint operation plan for the southwest frontier. The plan is divided into three parts and 10 chapters, which respectively expound in detail and make specific stipulations on the composition of the joint forces of the five provinces, the division of operational areas, the methods of coordinated operations, the plan for concentrating the armed forces, the scale of counterattacks, the construction of the battlefield, and the operational steps. Although Cai Yi's purpose is good, if his plan is really implemented, the southwest will inevitably be integrated and become a powerful southwest military organization outside the central government, which is obviously not acceptable to Yuan Shikai. Therefore, although Yuan Shikai ostensibly supported Cai Ye against the British and French, he secretly obstructed it, and the overseers of other provinces were unwilling to obey the command of Cai Ye, a young man, so Cai Ye could only run around in Beijing in vain to appeal.
On this day, Cai Ye invited Yunnan friends to have a drink in Qingyun Pavilion in Bada Hutong, and Wang Yongan also met friends in Qingyun Pavilion. According to the grade, Cai Ye is two levels lower than Wang Yongan, and Wang Yongan is about to take charge of the military, government and civilian power in Sichuan in the future.
So Cai Ye enthusiastically came to Puzhen Garden, where Wang Yongan was, and saw that Wang Yongan was drinking with some Jiangbei officials, so he smiled and said: "I learned that Yun Shuai is here, I came to pay a visit to one or two, Cai Songpo bothered Yun Shuai, please forgive me." ”
"It turned out to be General Cai of Yunnan, sit down quickly." Wang Yongan happily stepped forward, grabbed his hand, pressed him to his seat with a smile, and said, "I have heard the name of General Cai for a long time, and I am fortunate to see him today." ”
Cai Ye was very moved to see Wang Yongan's enthusiasm, he has been eating closed doors these days, and finally met a person who is enthusiastic about him, and this person is about to serve as the envoy of the Sichuan side, and he will have to deal with him in the future. So the two greeted each other, and when the rest saw this, they said goodbye one after another, and after Wang Yongan and Cai Ye sent everyone away, they returned to Puzhen Garden.
"Steward, remove the food and drinks, and change the table." Wang Yongan commanded.
The steward immediately changed the wine and food, and said with a smile that he didn't know if he needed to listen to the music, and the little phoenix fairy of Puzhenyuan played the pipa well.
Wang Yongan was surprised when he heard Xiao Fengxian, he looked at Cai Yi, then at the steward, and asked, "Are you talking about Xiao Fengxian?" ”
"It's a little impatiens." Stewardship.
Wang Yongan asked Cai Yi: "Does General Cai know Xiao Fengxian?" ”
Cai Yi said: "I didn't recognize it." ”
Wang Yong'an said curiously: "General Cai really doesn't recognize Little Fengxian? ”
Cai Yi asked rhetorically: "Why do I need to recognize Little Phoenix Fairy?" ”
"This ......" Wang Yongan said that I can't say that before I crossed over, I saw countless stories and legends of Cai Ye and Xiao Fengxian, but I didn't expect that Cai Yi and Xiao Fengxian didn't know each other at this time, but it seemed that I helped the two of them get to know each other. Cai Ye in the TV series is tall and handsome, and his appearance is extraordinary, but after Wang Yongan saw him, he only felt that those who played Cai Ye were more handsome than him, but he did not have a military momentum and a sense of heaviness of worrying about the country and the people, after all, actors can only play roles, how can they go deep into Cai Ye's heart. Speaking of Cai Yi's appearance, Wang Yongan felt that this person looked very much like an actor Liu Peiqi in later generations, although Liu Peiqi was not handsome, but the taste on his body was unforgettable, but he had eight points of similarity with Cai Yi.
Wang Yongan asked Cai Ye about the reason for Cai Yi's visit to Beijing, and Cai Ye gave a detailed account of the British and French coveting of southwest China, and he believed that the southwestern provinces must unite and fight a war of self-defense and counterattack if necessary, so it is necessary for the five provinces to unify their military command.
Wang Yongan couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Songpo, Brother Songpo, you are the general of the president's army." ”
"Why?" Cai asked.
Wang Yongan said: "What is the president most afraid of now? ”
"I'm most afraid of ......," Cai thought for a moment, "Russia and Japan." ”
"Wrong." Wang Yongan said, "What the president is most afraid of is not Russia and Japan, but you and me." ”
Cai Ye was shocked and said, "Why are you afraid of you and me?" ”
Wang Yongan explained: "The king has always been most afraid of the rebellion of the officers with heavy troops. Although the Republic of China is nominally a unified nation, in reality the military power of the provinces is in the hands of the local overseers, especially in the southern provinces. If you succeed in building the Southwest Coalition Army, the President will have a headache for you by then. Think about it, how can a big president support your idea. ”
Cai Yi shook his head and said: "The president supports my suggestion, but someone in the War Department is obstructing. ”
Wang Yongan criticized: "You still haven't seen through politics, and you still haven't seen through the president." ”
At this time, a petite and delicate girl walked in with a pipa in her arms, bowed down, and greeted in a yellow voice: "The little girl Xiao Fengxian has seen two generals. ”
Wang Yongan and Cai Ye looked over at the same time, this woman has a melon seed face and phoenix eyes, and her skin is delicate and as clear as spring snow. After Wang Yongan glanced at Xiao Fengxian, he turned to look at Cai Yi, only to see that Cai Yi was stunned for a moment after seeing this woman, and then his eyes were full of an indescribable feeling, could it be love at first sight?
Wang Yongan didn't particularly care about Xiao Fengxian's appearance, this woman was at most delicate, but she couldn't be called beautiful, if she was beautiful, she was not even as beautiful as the fifth lady Yuxiu, but this woman gave people a feeling of pure first love, which was unforgettable at a glance. Obviously, Cai Ye not only did not forget it at first sight, but fell in love at first sight.
Wang Yongan poured himself and Cai Yi a glass of wine, and said with a smile in his heart It seems that in the future historical romance, he will become a young man who pulls coal and protects him.
