Chapter 655: Let's Make a Bet

Zhang Zhenwu's poverty lies not in his money, but in his ambition, he was repeatedly deceived by Yuan Shikai into the Beijing division as a high-ranking official, and then dissatisfied with the position granted to him, and ran back to his hometown in Hubei Province to blackmail Li Yuanhong with a team of skirmishers. Wang Yongan didn't understand why Zhang Zhenwu asked Li Yuanhong for 1,000 yuan of Yingyang as a military salary every month, you must know that first of all, Zhang Zhenwu's general school regiment was an illegal army, and he still relied on the general school regiment to oppose Li Yuanhong. Zhang Zhenwu not only offended Beiyang, but also offended the revolutionary party, it is normal for him to have an accident, and it is strange if he does not have an accident.

The so-called poor ambition is not only Zhang Zhenwu's biggest shortcoming, the other two in Wuhan Sanyi are also short-minded, Wuhan Sanyi in addition to Zhang Zhenwu, the other two are Jiang Yiwu and Sun Wu.

Jiang Yiwu also came to Beijing as a senior adviser to the presidential palace after the North-South peace talks, and like Zhang Zhenwu, he scoffed at this job of only getting a salary and doing nothing, and then went south to take refuge in Song Jiaoren. After the assassination of Song Jiaoren, Jiang Yiwu was ordered to return to Hubei Province and use it against Zhang Zhenwu by Li Yuanhong. However, unlike Zhang Zhenwu's arrogant and arrogant self-righteousness, Jiang Yiwu lurked to Li Yuanhong's side with Huang Xing's mission, but soon after, Tan Yanhong, the overseer of Hunan Province, announced his independence to join the Yuan army, Jiang Yiwu couldn't bear the lurking mission, and left Li Yuanhong and came to Hunan Province to join Tan Yanhong's Yuan army. With the failure of the national campaign against Yuan Jun, Tan Yanmin immediately announced the cancellation of independence to support Yuan Shikai, and Jiang Yiwu was also betrayed and wanted by the central government, so he decided to go to Hong Kong to avoid the limelight. When Jiang Yiwu passed through Guangxi, he was arrested by Lu Rongting, the overseer of Guangxi, and shot a few days later.

Sun Wu in Wuhan Sanyi ended up better, although he launched the Wuchang Uprising on the orders of the Sun Wen brothers, but because he was injured before the uprising, he did not command the uprising, resulting in him being elevated and becoming a puppet. Sun Wu later cooperated with Li Yuanhong to squeeze out the Wuhan Revolutionary Party, supported Yuan Shikai, and served as a senator in the National Assembly, becoming a staunch supporter of Yuan Shikai, and after Yuan Shikai's death, Sun Wu no longer cared about politics.

Li Weiru's exhortation to Wang Yongan did not play a role, Wang Yongan is familiar with history, naturally he will not make any directional mistakes, he knows that now Yuan Shikai is noon sun can not be shaken, he just needs to wait for the sun to set, and that time is not far away.

The next day, Li Weiru suddenly learned that Xiong Kewu had declared independence in Chongqing, and the Sichuan Provincial Overseer sent troops to attack, Li Weiru had to resign to Wang Yongan and prepare to return to Chongqing to support Xiong Kewu.

Wang Yongan said to Li Weiru: "Chief of Staff Li might as well stay here, if you go back, you can only flee back, why bother going back and forth?" ”

Li Weiru was furious and immediately asked, "Does the general think that we will fail in the future?" ”

Wang Yongan said lightly: "I don't think you will fail in the future, I think you will fail immediately, you have no future!" Otherwise, we can make a bet. ”

"What bet?" Li Weiru said angrily.

"Within a month, Xiong Kewu's troops were defeated and fled, and the Yuan army was disbanded on the spot." Wang Yongan said firmly.

"No way!" Li Weiru said with a tugging neck.

Wang Yongan said with a smile: "If you are so confident, we can make a bet, but if you don't have confidence in Xiong Kewu, you don't need to make this bet." What do you think? Or is it that bet, if the Yuan army is defeated and disbanded within a month, you come back here to help me build Xikang Province, if the Yuan army lasts for more than a month, I will lend you the eighth division for half a year, what do you think? ”

Li Weiru was pleasantly surprised, he knew how elite the Eighth Division was, and he knew that they could sweep the Sichuan army with the Jiangbei troops, and Sichuan was just around the corner from real independence, so Li Weiru immediately raised his hand and prepared to high-five as an oath, and said: "A gentleman's word is a quick horse, and we are sure of it." ”

Wang Yongan's eyes narrowed and he smiled: "A word is a certainty." ”

The palms of the two people slammed together, and Li Weiru left Kangding City with excitement, he thought that he had succeeded and borrowed the army, but what was waiting for him would be a wanted warrant......

Liu Tong couldn't understand why Wang Yongan attached so much importance to Li Weiru, looking at the back of Li Weiru riding away on a horse, and finally couldn't help asking: "Handsome, this kid can't see any ability." "What does he mean is that this Li Weiru is nothing, is it worth it for you to woo him so much? There are so many elites in the Jiangbei Department around you, why make such a big bet?

Wang Yongan looked at the officials and officers around him, sighed and explained: "I don't value him, although this person also graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, he has never commanded any real battles, so at most he is just a Zhao Kuo who talks on paper." But do you know that a thousand dollars buy horse bones? ”

"I know this story, Dashuai, do you mean that we co-opt him to co-opt others?" Liu Tong hurriedly asked, and some people began to nod, understanding what Wang Yongan meant.

Wang Yongan said with a smile: "Brothers, if we want to develop and grow in Xikang, we can't do without the full support of the Sichuan people, and if we are just satisfied with being the king and hegemon in the province of Xikang, it is just a little overlord, just for our 100,000 people, to marry a wife and have children here and develop slowly, Xikang Province will definitely be our iron-clad camp and a fortress that cannot be poured into the water within 20 years."

But our ambition is not this remote Xikang Province, but the five southwestern provinces, if we want to eat the five southwestern provinces, we must first eat Sichuan Province, eat Sichuan Province, we must first win over the hearts of the people in Sichuan. Now the elite talents in Sichuan do not take refuge in us, I think there are three reasons, the first is that we are all from Jiangbei, self-contained, they feel that they have no room to play in us; Second, they don't know us well, they don't know that we're looking for talent, and they don't know that we don't mind their past. The third point is that they are wavering in the general trend of the world, and the Sichuan people originally like a comfortable and stable life, and to describe the Sichuan people in one word is 'indisputable', so we are not attractive to them. ”

Liu Tong said with a smile: "I hope that starting from Li Weiru, the Sichuan elites will continue to take refuge in our town border army." ”

Wang Yongan nodded, and walked to the Xikang Governor's Mansion with everyone, and the Kangba people on the side of the road knelt on the ground and kowtowed when they saw Wang Yongan. Wang Yongan got used to it, and at the beginning he kept helping these people, but soon he stopped doing it, because there were too many people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing...... And the reason why they kneel on the ground and kowtow is because Xikang still practices serfdom, and the entire Zang District and the three places have always practiced serfdom as for 5,000 years, and the Kham people who work for the border army in the town are all slaves of various tusi, and the slave sees the master's master, if he does not kneel, according to the criminal law, he will cut off his feet. In later generations, there are still people who oppose the republic and miss the pre-liberation period, except for some hypocritical idiots, they are the descendants of Tusi, for most Zang people, they are only human beings in the republic.
