The Sichuan Overseer's Mansion always ushers in one master after another, which is also another manifestation of the changing king banner at the head of the city. ￡∝

Now, the Overseer has a new owner. Wang Haoshan officially confirmed the Overseer's Mansion as his residence in Chengdu and lived in it.

In the early morning, the sky was as gray as ever, and even the sunlight was still dim and weak, which made people feel particularly dull. There are no days of the year in Chengdu when the sky is high and cool, especially in winter, if there is a bright sunshine and blue sky, it will make everyone happier than the festival, and will seize every opportunity to find the emptiest place to enjoy the rare sunshine.

It was such an early morning that Wang Mo was in the courtyard of the Overseer's Mansion in the morning, moving his body. Next to him was his father Wang Haoshan.

While moving his body, Wang Haoshan asked Wang Mo: "Mo'er, are you preparing to go to Hubei?" ”

Wang Mo looked at his father in surprise, he had never revealed the slightest bit of information to anyone about his plan to send troops to Hubei, but he still wanted to blow up the oil and water of the People's Party.

Seeing his son's surprise, Wang Haoshan was a little proud, and said with a slight smile: "Don't think that your father and I can't see it if I haven't gone to the martial arts academy, you deliberately transferred the 1st and 2nd divisions to Chongqing, isn't it just to prepare for sending troops to Hubei?" ”

The 1st and 2nd Divisions are the elite trump cards of the Sichuan Army, and they are also the descendants of the Wang family, and they were transferred to Chongqing together. Those who are familiar with the inside of the Sichuan Army can probably see that Wang Mo is not just doing this for defense.

Wang Mo didn't want to hide his father, nodded and admitted: "That's right, I have the idea of sending troops to Hubei." It is true that the Kuomintang is not a successful person, and their troops are estimated not to last long. Once the situation of the Kuomintang is endangered, I will quickly send troops to Hubei, give the Beiyang Army a ruthless blow, and protect Li Liejun's troops in Jiangxi. ”

"Mo'er, do you really plan to go toe-to-toe with the Beiyang Army?" Wang Haoshan looked a little worried, after all, the name of the Beiyang Army as the strongest army in the world was not blown out.

"Father, I still say the same thing, we don't have a choice. Now Yuan Shikai doesn't take us seriously, only by fighting him and completely hurting him, will he face us squarely and admit us, and our Sichuan army will have a place in the country. Wang Mo said in a deep voice.

Although Wang Mo seemed to be full of confidence, in fact, he didn't have much bottom in his heart, because he had never seen the strength of the Beiyang Army, the strongest army in the world. Therefore, he will transfer the two elites of the lineage to Chongqing together and strike hard.

Wang Haoshan understood that his son made a decision that was basically impossible to change, so he said: "Since Mo'er has decided, then fight!" However, I won't drag you back from the past, and the 1st Division will also be handed over to you for command, so I will stay in Chengdu, and by the way, I will take care of the relationship between the top and bottom of the Sichuan Military Government. ”

In fact, Wang Haoshan had long planned to hand over all military power to his son. Compared with his son Wang Mo, a military commander in the new era who was born in a professional class, he is just a sentry commander of the former Qing patrol battalion, commanding a battalion is okay, commanding a regiment is barely enough, and commanding a division is very difficult. Now that he has to command a large army of tens of thousands of people to fight, he knows very well that he is not up to the task, so handing over military power to his own son is undoubtedly the best choice.

Wang Mo also wanted to take over the supreme command of the army for a long time, although his father obeyed him, but after all, it was not as smooth as his own command. So there was no hypocrisy, and I readily agreed, but after thinking about it, I asked again: "Father, do you want to let a group of people stay in Chengdu, so as to suppress all forces in Chengdu and ensure your safety at the same time?" ”

Wang Haoshan waved his hand and said, "No need, there are still a lot of miscellaneous teams in Chengdu, and it is not a problem to integrate them into a security regiment to maintain order in Chengdu." As for my security, isn't there a guard battalion, it's more than enough to have them! Besides, as long as the elite of the two divisions you led don't have any major problems, no one will have the courage to move me. ”

Wang Mo thought about it, as long as he didn't defeat the 1st and 2nd divisions, even if someone ate the ambition leopard guts, he would never dare to touch his father.

After that, the father and son also exchanged opinions on the disposal of the Western Expeditionary Force that was still hiding in the Xikang area, and agreed that it would be better to put it on hold for the time being.

After another half an hour, Wang Haoshan and Wang Mo were sweating a lot, so they finished their morning transportation and went to wash up and eat breakfast.

While father and son were eating breakfast, an orderly came to report that someone claiming to be a provincial councillor, Yang Shukan, had asked to see him outside the Overseer's Mansion.

"Yang Shukan? These Kuomintang have never been profitable, Mo'er, he is afraid that he has guessed that you are going to send troops to Hubei. Wang Haoshan thought for a moment, and then asked Wang Mo, "How is it, can you see it?" ”

Wang Mo didn't have any worries, and said, "See, why don't you see it!" I'm also going to collect a sum of money from the Kuomintang. ”

After hurriedly eating breakfast, Wang Haoshan and Wang Mo met Yang Shukan in the living room.

After a salute, Yang Shukan smiled and said, "Congratulations to the handsome!" ”

Wang Haoshan smiled faintly and asked, "Oh, where does this joy come from?" ”

Yang Shukan said with a smile: "Yesterday, the provincial council officially passed the impeachment of Hu Jingyi, removed him from the post of governor of Sichuan, and unanimously passed the resolution to appoint the marshal as the governor of Sichuan. ”

Yang Shukan said this, as if Wang Haoshan was single-handedly pushed to the throne of the governor of Sichuan by their provincial council, and it could be seen that he was selling his merits.

Although the resolution of the Sichuan Provincial Council is only a superficial article, it finally solves the problem of Wang Haoshan's appointment as the governor of Sichuan from a legal point of view, and it is better than forcibly appointing himself as the governor of Sichuan. At the very least, there is a passable statement for the central government in Beijing and for the people of the whole country.

This favor still has to be received, Wang Haoshan nodded, and said with a smile: "Councilor Yang has bothered, I will definitely thank all the members of the provincial council later!" ”

"Marshal, since you have become the governor of Sichuan, can you send a telegram in the name of the Sichuan military government and officially announce it?" Yang Shukan asked, he had always hoped that Sichuan would attract the attention of Beiyang, so as to relieve the pressure on Li Liejun's troops in Jiangxi.

This is not a big problem, Wang Haoshan readily agreed: "No problem, I will send a telegram in the name of the Sichuan Military Government later, announcing **!" ”

Yang Shukan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The Overseers understand the righteousness and believe that with the support of the Overseers, we will be able to stop Yuan Shikai's brutal dictatorship and maintain the democratic republic!" ”

These words are very righteous and impassioned, if it is an ordinary hot-blooded young man, I am afraid that he will be fooled by Yang Shukan and want to dedicate himself to the cause of democracy and republic.

Although Wang Haoshan is not a slippery politician, he is not a hairy boy either, and when he heard this, he just smiled faintly and said: "Councilor Yang has a good reputation and contributes to the great cause of the republic, which is deserved." ”

Yang Shukan took the opportunity to ask, "I wonder when the Overseers will send troops to Hubei?" ”

Wang Haoshan and Wang Mo glanced at each other, and sure enough, the main drama came, and Yang Shukan still wanted to encourage the Sichuan army to send troops to Hubei, so as to relieve the pressure on Li Liejun's troops in Jiangxi.

Wang Haoshan pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Send troops to Hubei?" Where did Congressman Yang hear that the military junta was going to send troops to Hubei? The junta has no plans to send troops to Hubei. ”

Yang Shukan obviously didn't expect Wang Haoshan to deny it, his expression froze, and then he asked: "Didn't the overseer mobilize two elite divisions to go to Chongqing to enter Hubei east?" ”

"This, I'm afraid you misunderstood, Councilor Yang, the military government transferred two divisions to Chongqing to defend against the Guizhou army that might invade Sichuan." Wang Haoshan said seriously, as if he hadn't discussed with Wang Mo about sending troops to Hubei not long ago.

Resist the invasion of the Guizhou army?

Yang Shukan didn't believe this ridiculous statement at all, and people who were not familiar with the inside of the Sichuan army might think so, but he knew the true strength of those two elite divisions very well. These two elite divisions comparable to the Beiyang Army were transferred to Chongqing together, just to resist the entry of the Guizhou army into Sichuan?

No kidding, that's not how you kill chickens!

Yang Shukan looked a little displeased, and asked, "Overseer, what do you mean by this, are you still afraid that I will leak the secret?" ”

At this time, Wang Mo smiled and said, "Councilor Yang is too worried, my father definitely didn't mean this. As my father said, the junta has no plans to send troops to Hubei at the moment. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if we have the will to send troops to Hubei, we are powerless, because the military government simply cannot raise enough military funds. ”

Yang Shukan's face sank, and he immediately understood what Wang Mo meant, and in the end, he still wanted money.

"Overseer, can't the problem of military spending be overcome? I think you should understand that if the Li Dudu of Jiangxi falls, then the next target of the Beiyang Army must be Sichuan, and it must be you, the overseer! Yang Shukan tried his best to persuade him, there was no way, he was really not sure to persuade Mr. Sun to raise a million oceans for the Sichuan army.

Wang Haoshan did not respond directly to Yang Shukan, but said: "Councilor Yang, not long ago I just appointed my son Wang Mo as the commander of the Sichuan Legion. From now on, all the affairs of the Sichuan Army will be handled by him. As for whether to send troops to Hubei, it is up to my son Wang Mo to decide, and I believe in his decision. ”

Yang Shukan turned his head to look at Wang Mo, and saw Wang Mo's meaningful smile. Thinking of Wang Mo's appearance of asking for money and not getting oil and salt before, he couldn't wait to rush up immediately and smash that hateful smile.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Shukan asked Wang Mo: "Young Marshal, do you have to send troops to Hubei for a million oceans?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Mo shook his head lightly and said: "This is not necessarily, if Jiangxi Li Dudu's troops are completely annihilated by the Beiyang Army, I will also immediately send troops to Hubei to block the retreat of the 2nd and 6th Divisions of the Beiyang Army, and use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Yuan Shikai." ”
