"Father, our Sichuan army has always been divided into the southern faction and the northern faction, and now that Beiyang has seized the power of the country, the momentum of the northern faction is bullish, and it will inevitably take action against the southern faction whose power has been reduced. Therefore, I think that the disputes and changes caused by the abdication of the Qing court in Sichuan should be here! Wang Mo pointed to the location of Chongqing on the map.

Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion gathered a considerable number of revolutionary party members, and the chief of Zhenfu Mansion was a member of the League in Xia, which can be said to be the base camp of the southern faction.

Chengdu Yin Changheng and others have long wanted to find an opportunity to solve the revolutionary party forces in Chongqing, and now that the national power has moved north, there is no reason for them to let it go, and they will inevitably take action.

Zhang Li nodded in agreement: "I think the young marshal is right, there should be a big mess in Chongqing soon." ”

"If there is a big chaos in Chongqing, which side will our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army stand on?" After Ge Changchun asked this question, he looked at Wang Haoshan.

"Needless to say, of course it's on the side of Overseer Yin. As far as the goods of the Chongqing Revolutionary Party are concerned, it's okay to put their mouths and cannons, but they are still far from doing it with real knives and guns! "Hao Gang has never looked down on those party members who can only talk about cannons.

Indeed, in terms of military strength alone, Chengdu has an absolute advantage. In the past, the revolutionaries in Chongqing could still use the anti-Qing righteousness to block the guns of the northern faction, but now that the Qing court has abdicated, the military leaders under the Zhenfu Mansion in Chongqing are faintly unstable, let alone resist the military pressure from Chengdu.

Wang Haoshan's eyes moved back and forth between Chengdu and Chongqing on the map, and he was a little undecided, so he opened his mouth and asked Wang Mo: "Mo'er, what do you think?" ”

Regarding this question, Wang Mo had already made a decision in his heart, and replied in a deep voice: "Father, our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army has no choice but to unswervingly support the Southern faction!" ”

This answer was obviously completely unexpected by Wang Haoshan and the others, and they were all stunned.

Wang Haoshan asked puzzledly: "Why do you say that, didn't we also stand on the side of Yin Dujun before, so we were able to establish the South Sichuan Zhenfu Mansion?" ”

Wang Mo didn't answer and asked: "Father, Chengdu has a heavy army, once they clean up the southern revolutionaries and dissolve the Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion, do you think our Southern Sichuan Zhenfu Mansion can continue to exist?" ”

This remark hits the nail on the head, and now Sichuan is the tripartite forces of Chengdu, southern Sichuan, and Chongqing to maintain fragile stability. Once Yin Changheng completely solves the revolutionary party forces in Chongqing, there will be only Sichuan Nan who is so dazzling that he can imagine what Chengdu will do with his toes.

Thinking of facing the heavy oppression of Chengdu, Wang Haoshan was extremely irritable, took out a cigarette from his arms and smoked it, and the room was full of smoke for a while.

After smoking a cigarette, Wang Haoshan frowned and said, "If that's the case, then we must go to war with Yin Dujun?" ”

Wang Haoshan didn't want to start a war with Chengdu now, on the one hand, there was a huge disparity in troops, and on the other hand, a large amount of military spending would be needed to start a war, and the economy of southern Sichuan had just begun to take off, and the Zhenfu government did not have much financial revenue at all.

"Whether to fight or not depends on the decision of the Chengdu side, but we cannot hope for their tolerance and concession, and we must be prepared for war so as not to be caught off guard when we fight!" Wang Mo doesn't want his father to be lucky, the road to power struggle has always been life-and-death.

"Marshal, I think what the young marshal said is reasonable, we must be prepared to prevent Overseer Yin from turning his face." Ge Changchun said.

Wang Mo struck while the iron was hot and continued: "We must not only prepare for war, but also vigorously support the revolutionaries in Chongqing, lest they be cleaned up in three or two blows, and then we will have to face a two-sided attack from Chengdu and Chongqing, which will be troublesome." ”

Thinking of the serious consequences of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army being attacked by Chengdu and Chongqing, Wang Haoshan finally made up his mind: "Okay, then send someone to contact Xia Zhishi, as long as there is any change in Chongqing, our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army will stand up and strongly support Xia Zhishi." If necessary, Zhang Liyou will lead the second regiment to eastern Sichuan and give Xia Zhishi military support! ”

Wang Haoshan is also a courageous soldier, otherwise he would not have dared to raise troops and stand on his own with just a sentry horse. Although there are not many soldiers and horses in a regiment, they can't stand the equipment of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army. With powerful weapons and equipment, a regiment of soldiers and horses of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army can definitely fight a division of the ordinary Sichuan Army. With this regiment of soldiers and horses marching into eastern Sichuan, it was more than enough to deter the leaders of the troops who were about to move in Chongqing.

After the decision was made, the war machine of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was quickly set into action, and a large number of soldiers returned to the barracks and entered a state of combat readiness after completing their leave and rotation training.

The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was facing life and death, and Wang Mo couldn't care about anything else, so he temporarily stopped investing in education funds and used the remaining hundreds of thousands of oceans to buy a large number of weapons and ammunition. In particular, the artillery regiment was not only equipped with hundreds of 75mm Grusen field guns, but also stockpiled enough shells to fight a general battle.

When the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was actively preparing for war, Chongqing was surging in the dark tide, and the military leaders below were faintly waiting for the revolutionaries to force the palace in the summer.

Chongqing, Lu House.

Although it was late at night, Lu Yongqiang's study in Lu's house was still brightly lit at this time.

"Father, Chief Xia's situation is not good, these days Xie Yi's two battalions are faintly threatening the battalion under my command." Lu Feng looked worried, and the unstable status of the backer made him walk on thin ice these days.

Lu Yongqiang also frowned: "Yuan Shikai took the position of president, the power of the southern faction was greatly reduced, and there were not many soldiers and horses on hand in the summer, and now he is afraid that he will not be able to stand in the position of the chief of the Zhenfu Mansion." ”

The backer was about to fall, and Lu Feng suddenly became anxious: "If President Xia falls, then wouldn't we be ......?"

Lu Yongqiang waved his hand, interrupted Lu Feng's words, and said, "Don't worry too much, our Lu family and Xie Yi don't have any grievances and contradictions that can't be resolved." The reason why they are hostile to us now is just because we are Chief Xia's people. ”

Lu Feng asked puzzledly, "Father, what do you mean?" ”

"Since Chief Xia no longer has the ability to shelter us, then there is naturally no need for our Lu family to continue to stand on his side and wait for death together." Lu Yongqiang said the words of betrayal so justifiably, he is worthy of being an old fox who has been rolling in the officialdom for so many years, and he has the essence of thick black studies.

Lu Feng, a young man, couldn't imagine that his father would betray Xia so neatly, his expression was complicated, and he said, "Father, this is ...... Is this not appropriate, our Lu family can gain a firm foothold in Chongqing, but it all depends on the help of President Xia. ”

Lu Yongqiang mercilessly reprimanded his naïve son: "Confused, now it is Chengdu's Yin Inspector who wants to clean up Chief Xia, and his arms can't twist his thighs, even if our Lu family loyally stands on the broken ship in Xia, we can only die with him!" Zhi'en Tu is supposed to be repaid, but in order to know the Grace Tu Bao, do you have to take our entire Lu family on board? ”

Lu Feng was so trained that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't dare to say more than half a word.

As Lu Yongqiang said, his arms can't twist his thighs. None of the military leaders in Chongqing were fools, and they could see which side the general trend was, and they actively contacted Hu Jingyi, the commander of the Sichuan Army sent to Chongqing by Yin Changheng.

Xia Zhi did not sit still, while actively contacting the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, and on the other hand, he urgently telegraphed Xiong Kewu in Shanghai, asking him to lead his troops back to Sichuan.

Xiong Kewu, a revolutionary, purchased ordnance in Shanghai to form a Northern Expeditionary Shu Army, and was appointed by the Nanjing Provisional Government as the commander-in-chief of the Shu Army of General Zuo. As long as Xiong Kewu leads his troops back to Sichuan, and then unites with the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army in the summer, he will have the strength to resist the northern Sichuan army.

At the end of February, shortly after the Spring Festival, Chongqing was surging, and under the auspices of Hu Jingyi, the vast majority of the troops in Chongqing gradually openly expressed their support for Yin Changheng, forming a trend of forcing the palace against Xia Shishi.

Forced by the grim situation, Xia Shi had no excuse to ask the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army to march east to suppress the bandits. Wang Haoshan, who had been preparing for a long time, did not hesitate at all, and immediately asked Zhang Li to lead the Second Regiment east into eastern Sichuan, stationed in Jiangjin, and deterred the various troops in Chongqing by force.

Chengdu's response was not slow, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions of the Sichuan Army began to assemble, with a faint intention of sending troops to southern Sichuan. For a time, the dark clouds of war once again loomed over Sichuan, and the slightest spark could lead to a major war.

However, not long after, Xia Zhishi suddenly announced his resignation from the post of head of Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion and went abroad to study. The Sichuan Military Government announced that it would give 30,000 yuan to reward Xia Zhishi's revolutionary exploits, and then changed the corps commander Hu Jingyi to the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing Zhenfu Prefecture, and reorganized Xiong Kewu's department into the 6th Division of the Sichuan Army to appease and win over Xiong Kewu.

When the news reached southern Sichuan, Wang Haoshan was so angry that he dropped his favorite teacup in public, and scolded: "The turtle son surnamed Xia, this turtle bastard with no eggs, didn't even say a word to us, so he retreated and ran away!" ”

The rest of the officers of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army present were also indignant, because if Xia Zhi retreated like this, he would make the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army miserable. The Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army will have to face the attacks from the east and west of Chengdu and Chongqing alone, and the situation is extremely grim.

Ge Changchun, the commander of the third regiment, looked sad and said: "Marshal, this time we are in big trouble, although those miscellaneous cards in Chongqing are not to be worried, but Chengdu has gathered 3 divisions, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. ”

"Damn, it's a big deal to fight with them, even if they die, Lao Tzu will splash their blood!" Hao Gang, the head of the regiment, shouted viciously.

"Fight? How to fight, we only have the strength of one division, and it is okay for two security regiments to defend the city, and if we go out to fight a hard battle, we may not be able to stab us in battle. Ge Changchun was a little pessimistic.

Dong Pei, director of the Civil Affairs Department of Zhenfu Prefecture, suggested to Wang Haoshan at this time: "Marshal, why don't you contact Yin Dujun, as long as we dissolve the Zhenfu Mansion in southern Sichuan and announce that we accept the direct jurisdiction of the Sichuan Military Government, we may be able to keep the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army." ”

This proposal made Wang Haoshan a little moved, as long as he could keep his military power, he would have the capital to turn over.

Wang Mo immediately objected: "Father, no! If we dissolve the Fufu Mansion in South Sichuan, then we can only be slaughtered! ”

Wang Haoshan frowned: "In the current situation, if we don't back down to protect ourselves, do we have any other choice?" ”

"Father, if this battle starts, we may not be able to win!" Wang Mo's words revealed a strong self-confidence
