Under the command of the Provisional Government, the news that nearly half of the navy's fleet had gone south to the southwest soon reached the ears of all forces in the country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info While the forces of all parties were shocked, they couldn't help but be jealous.

This is not as simple as just a few sampan boats, you must know that the small half of the warships heading south almost cover nearly half of the essence of the current Chinese Navy, including the "Hai Chip", one of the three "Hai" cruisers currently in China, and then most of the various torpedo boats and gunboats.

The southward movement of these fleets was simply overjoyed for Qu Tongfeng, Xiao Mubai didn't look down on these warships, but he Qu Tongfeng cared. Because he had already received the news in advance, Qu Tongfeng quickly made proper arrangements and was ready to pick up the ship.

Although the scale of the naval fleet in the southwest is still very small, the corresponding basic supporting facilities are not much smaller. After several months of rapid construction and expansion, the Fangcheng Military Port, which is about to be completed, has begun to take shape, and the relevant technical personnel and machinery and equipment are in place, and there is still no problem in providing maintenance, maintenance, and repair for these warships.

Both in terms of hardware and software, the southwest side is capable of maintaining the combat capability of these warships.

The sudden southward movement of the navy, to say that there is no shadow of the southwest government in it, is really a bit of an insult to the intelligence of these domestic political elites.

When the news reached Nanjing, President Sun Da, who had just been overjoyed to reach an agreement on the abdication of the Qing Dynasty, immediately had a gloomy face and a surprising anger in his heart. You Xiao Mubai did not obey the decrees of the provisional government, wantonly occupied Shaanxi, the northwest is remote, and the provisional government is not able to handle it, I can't imagine that you are so rampant now, stretching out your hand in front of your eyes. The navy, that is the important weapon of the country, how can you play with a local force?

At present, the navy of the provisional government, except for a few officers and generals of the Admiralty and a few warships that went north to Shandong, can be said to be in tatters. The angry President Sun Da, despite the dissuasion of his entourage, immediately issued an order to strike at the southwest.

On February 10, President Sun Da issued several orders one after another. The first order was for the War Department to draw up a plan of operations against the Southwest; The second order was to prepare the armies of the neighboring southwestern provinces for battle; The third order was to draw capable troops from the people's army stationed in Nanjing and rush to the southwest to fight. After issuing these orders, President Sun Da was still angry, and he personally drafted a crusade order against the southwest and prepared to send it out.

He is really angry, he is wronged, he is aggrieved, stabilizes the situation and maneuvers in Beiyang, you don't contribute to the southwest, and you are just adding trouble to yourself. Because of the Shaanxi problem, the envoy sent to negotiate has not yet returned, and this kind of blatant digging of the foot of the wall, this kind of blatant slap in the face, how can it not make people angry?

Hearing the order issued by the president, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren came to Sun Wen together. Both of them looked angry, and seeing President Sun Da writing orders by himself in the office, Huang Xing immediately rushed forward and grabbed Sun Wen's hand and said, "Yixian, don't!" ”

Sun Wen's hand shook, a few drops of ink fell on the manuscript paper, and he suddenly dropped his pen in anger, and said angrily: "Keqiang, what's the matter with you?" At the beginning of the escape, Xiao Mubai deceived people too much, and repeatedly embarrassed me and other alliance members, which is unbearable! ”

After saying this, President Sun Da was especially disgusted, and sat behind the desk panting. Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren glanced at each other, and they both knew that the president's temper had come up, and he was repeatedly slapped in the face by the southwest, and he couldn't get down in face no matter what. He is also under great pressure now, not only to maintain the stability of the provisional government, but also to bargain with Beiyang to make the Qing family step down as soon as possible, and the alliance will also have to be distracted and taken care of. Hundreds of thousands of people's troops outside the city shouted every day for money, and the whole of Nanjing was in a miasma. All of this was pressed on him, making him really overwhelmed by his already bad temper. 、

Huang Xing sighed deeply and said: "Yixian, don't be impatient, it is not difficult for us to see from the things in Shaanxi that Xiao Mubai is really not an easy person, but now his strength is there." As you must know, the provinces under the Provisional Government are against us, and it is difficult for them to send troops. ”

"Yixian, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! With the current situation of the provisional government, not to mention the financial difficulties or not, if you have ordered this crusade and the army is transferred in all directions, what if something happens again? Let's just endure a little longer, and for now it is the first priority to promote the abdication of the Qing family and reach a republic. Song Jiaoren also persuaded bitterly.

Seeing President Sun Da, who was stunned and calmed down a little, he was silent. Huang Xing wanted to persuade him a few more words, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Song Jiaoren saw that Sun Wen was still a little discouraged, and smiled at him: "Yixian, we all understand your feelings, but at this time, in the abdication of the Qing family, we still need the full support of the southwest, and we must not offend him too much now." You endure the anger of this moment, and when the Republic of China is officially established, our alliance will form a cabinet, and when the national power is grasped, it will not be easy to clean up a small southwest. ”

Hearing Song Jiaoren's words, Sun Wen finally shook his head and smiled bitterly, he finally calmed down. As for what Song Jiaoren said just now about the formation of the alliance, Sun Wen understood it in his heart.

Although at the time of the peace negotiations between the north and the south, the alliance had already promised that if Yuan Shikai was in favor of the republic and abdicated the Qing family, he should be promoted as the president. However, seeing that the abdication of the Qing dynasty was imminent and the democratic republic was just around the corner, out of suspicion of Yuan Shikai and unwillingness to be left by the regime, the members of the League took advantage of the favorable opportunity when the League members in the Senate of the Provisional Government accounted for the majority, and prepared to first introduce the "Provisional Covenant Law" and change the presidential system to the cabinet system, with a view to reorganizing the other parties cooperating with the League into a major political party after the formal establishment of the Republic of China, so as to achieve a majority in the Congress, use the cabinet system to restrain and limit Yuan Shikai's presidential power, and then use the general election. Impeachment and other means forced him to step down.

I have to say that the people of the Alliance are naïve and stupid, and I don't want to think about it, why would Yuan Shikai, who has a gun in his hand, be at their mercy?

Sun Wen, who calmed down, thought about the words of the two of them carefully, and then glanced at the half-written crusade order, crumpled it into a ball and threw it behind the paper basket, and said as if deflated: "Then please take the trouble to strengthen it, pass on my words, and the previous orders will be canceled." ”

"Shall we leave it at that?" After a long time, Sun Wen asked unwillingly.

Song Jiaoren breathed a sigh of relief, his face glowed with a confident look, and he said loudly: "Of course not, we can't let the southwest side underestimate the people of our alliance, and make them too proud." Although we can't move them for the time being, we can mobilize the advantage of public opinion and criticize the southwest, and we must always put a little pressure on them. ”

This sentence is really a sentence to wake up the dreamer, what is the advantage of their alliance? It's a war of words! Suddenly, President Sun Da, who was rejuvenated, nodded again and again.

Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren achieved their goals, and seeing that Sun Wen was also a little tired, he got up and left. The two of them now have endless things to do.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Beijing, in Yuan Shikai's mansion. After talking with Yang Shiqi, Yang Du and others about the abdication of the Qing family, several people began to chat leisurely. When talking about the news that the navy recovered by the Southern Kuomintang had gone south to join the southwest, Yuan Shikai only frowned slightly, then pursed his lips, and said "There is no hero at the time, so that the erector becomes famous", and then closed his eyes and said nothing.

Now that the Communist Party has occupied the southwest, occupied Shaanxi, co-opted the navy, and jumped up and down all day long, it is obviously impossible to say that Yuan Shikai is not afraid of the forces that defeated his Beiyang Army, although there is an element of coincidence and luck in that battle, but defeat is defeat after all. But Yuan Shikai is now focusing on the abdication of the Qing family and the temporary president, and for the southwest, it is obvious that he is really a little out of reach now, and he is powerless.

As a result, due to various reasons, although Yuan Shikai has long wanted to give the Communist Party in the southwest some colors, he has never had the opportunity to make a move.

The next day, both the areas controlled by Beiyang and the provinces under the Nanjing government carried out overwhelming propaganda reports on this act of digging up the foot of the wall in the southwest. For a time, public opinion was everywhere, the whole country was in an uproar, and the entire southwest was pushed to the cusp. But what is interesting is that the southwest side has reacted indifferently to this matter, and only after publishing a few innocuous statements in the newspaper, there has been no more sound.
