Chapter 244: Li Liejun Comes East
The secret telegram of the six overseers greatly shook the foundation of Emperor Yuan's rule, and also pointed out the way for the provincial overseers, the provincial overseers comprehended like Emperor Hongxian sent a secret telegram advising him to abdicate, Emperor Yuan was isolated, but he was not born stupid, and announced his abdication two days later, but still occupied the throne of the president of the Republic of China, after the news came, the whole country celebrated, and the Beiyang Army on the front line was even more vigorous, repelled the attack of the Protector Army in Sichuan, Guizhou, Xiangxi and other places, and the commanders issued an armistice agreement, Cai Ye has no opinion, but Tang Jiyao, Li Liejun and others are unwilling to give up, bluntly said that President Yuan Da does not step down, the war to protect the country will not stop, but secretly sent a secret envoy to open an armistice agreement, hoping to get the central government to appoint Cai Ye as the Sichuan overseer, Lu Rongting as the Hunan overseer, Li Liejun as the Guangdong overseer to build and manage Jiangxi, and the surrounding places of the town guard envoy position to the general of the Protector Army, the Beiyang generals were furious, while sending additional troops, while sending envoys only agreed to Cai Ye to occupy Sichuan, Lu Rongting, Liu Xianshi was in charge of Xiangxi, As for the fact that Jiangxi is the area where Li Chun and Li supervised the army, there is absolutely no reason to give up, and as for Guangdong as the chassis for the rebel and protector army, you will discuss your own affairs, just like the central government replied to the matter of the rebel protector army recommending Li Tingyu as the Yunnan-Guizhou patrol envoy, and your internal affairs will be solved by yourself.
Tang Jiyao was promoted to the patrol envoy of Yunnan and Shu, Cai Yi supervised Shu, Yuan Shikai abdicated, the Yunnan Department in the Protectorate Army has achieved its goal, coupled with the financial pressure of 10,000 taels of gold as soon as the cannon sounds, so these people do not support continuing to carry out the Protectorate Movement, Lu Rongting and Liu Xianshi both want to occupy Hunan, but in the face of the Beiyang Army that wakes up like a sleeping lion, although it is not possible to retreat, it is really powerless, but it is also profitable to be in charge of the Xiangxi Prefecture and County occupied by them, so the Protectorate War in Hunan is also over. Although the sporadic fighting never stopped, the casualties on both sides combined did not exceed a finger, but the supply of arms to Yunnan and Beijing was suffering.
At the beginning, the Protector Army's three-way march was so huge, and it also achieved good results, but Sichuan, Hunan's two roads were fully loaded, only Li Liejun was busy living in vain, except for the unjustifiable occupation of the Baise region, Guangdong and Jiangxi were not a single hair, naturally unwilling, so this road army has the highest enthusiasm for protecting the country, hoping to continue to fight until entrenched in Guangdong, occupy the position of Nanchang, of course, his request, the Protector Army is full of contempt but does not object, the Beiyang generals did not want him to occupy Jiangxi, and the two sides came and went for a while, and finally reached a consensus: it would be good if the war to protect the country would be fought in Guangdong, and the Beiyang Army and the Yunnan Army would not help each other, all relying on the skills of Chang Zhenbang and Li Liejun.
Of course, this kind of clause is secretly negotiated by President Yuan, if he lets his old man know, how embarrassing it will be if he really embarrasses, think about how embarrassing his old man is now, for the sake of his old man's health, he still has to stage a good show of the Beiyang Army fighting bloodily to defend his old man's home, and by the way, deceive the old man of arms and ask for some performance fees.
I don't know for what purpose, after Li Liejun got the guarantee of non-interference from the Beiyang Army, he looted the Baise area, and the sturdy men and girls of school age were arranged into the barracks, and then sold the Baise area to Long Jiguang with 100,000 oceans, and took the guns and ammunition supported by Yunnan to Guangdong in three ways to kill.
The first general of the army was the loyal revolutionary Lin Hu, who commanded the newly formed Baise First Division and went straight to Nanning.
The second general of the army commander was the revolutionary veteran Li Gengen, who commanded the newly formed Baise Second Division and killed Qin Lian.
The commander of the Third Route Army is Li Liejun himself, and the army in his hands is all the men and horses of the original Second Route Army for the protection of the country, plus a newly armed Baise Third Division, which went straight to Maoming.
Of course, this is only a superficial article, and secretly Tang Jiyao sent three brigades led by Zhao Zhongqi to blend in and secretly help each other.
Shen Hongzhen, the envoy of Nanning Town, heard that Li Liejun's soldiers were coming towards him, and immediately panicked, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Guangzhou for help, Chang Zhenbang and Tang Baichuan summed up a little, and made a decision to let Shen Hongzhen's department transport all guns, ammunition, ammunition, ammunition and other materials to Guangzhou, and gave him the position of Chaomei Town Guard, Shen Hongzhen summed up, this transaction is not a loss, and the transaction is really not a loss in exchange for the rich land of Guangdong, which is about to be burned with jade, and he immediately and happily looted the whole city and withdrew to Guangdong.
As soon as Chang Zhenbang received the news of Li Hongzhen's retreat, he immediately sent a telegram to Long Jiguang, and the telegram unceremoniously accused Long Jiguang and Li Liejun of colluding with the tiger, but he ceded the relationship between Chaozhou and other places, and ceded Nanning to Long Jiguang according to the agreement, and played the central government to appoint Long Yuguang as the envoy of Nanning Town.
However, the telegram was not a sign of weakness at all, and the supply of arms and money to the Long family came to an end.
Long Yuguang smiled after reading the telegram and said: "Chang Zhenbang is really doing a good business, knowing that Nanning can't stand it, so he gave it to us and asked us to block the gun for him, but he didn't know that Li Liejun had already worn a pair of pants with us." Hehe. ”
Long Jiguang said: "This is the snipe and the clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman!" With Nanning, we finally have the same capital as Lu Rongting. Within two years, Guangxi will be the backyard of our Long family again. Ha ha. ”
Long Yuguang laughed and said: "Third brother, it is appropriate to recuperate, but we are not to fight for Guangxi, but for the sake of Huang Que behind, after Chang Zhenbang and Li Liejun fight to the death, we can regain the hegemony of Guangxi and Guangxi, and we can monopolize Guangxi when we retreat, so ah, we have to train well in the next days." ”
After hearing this, Long Jiguang thought so, and began to recruit troops and horses with great fanfare, but the land of Guangxi is not rich, which means that although Long Jiguang's army has expanded more than three times in a hurry, but the guns and ammunition cannot be supplied by normal finance, Long Jiguang has to take out his own private money to arm these horses, don't look at him has only been in Guangdong for more than three years and less than four years, not counting the real estate and land in various places, there are millions of private money alone, think about the money left in the Guangdong Overseer's Mansion, His hatred for Chang Zhenbang came up again for no reason.
Long Shichu and Li Tingyu, the envoys of Qinlian Town, also received a telegram from Chang Zhenbang at the first time, asking their relevant troops to retreat from Qinlian to Guangzhou and give up Qinlian.
Long Shichu, who received this order, couldn't help but have some joy and sorrow, sad because of this retreat, I don't know when I can return here, to be honest, this Qinlian is a good place compared to Guangxi, but compared with other places in Guangdong, it is far worse, but here he has been guarding for many years, and there are many bloody battles, and he left suddenly, and there is naturally a feeling of reluctance to give up in his heart. The good news is that the people of Qinlian have already fought a bloody battle with the Guangxi Yankees not long ago, and now their retreat, whether it is what Long Jiguang gets or what Li Liejun gains, will not be too difficult for these people.
Li Tingyu saw that his face changed and darkened, and he sighed and said: "The metropolitan governor and the chief of staff must have a deep meaning, the elder brother does not need to mind, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." ”
Long Shichu said: "Long is not the shallow person who only knows victory and defeat. This trip to Guangdong to meet the Metropolitan Governor, inevitably a little nervous, although in the past I have also heard of the Metropolitan Governor, what adults use soldiers like gods, love the people like sons, jealousy like hatred, said that Long's heart is itchy, just take this to take a good look at the adults. ”
Li Tingyu said with a smile: "Use soldiers like gods, love the people like sons, jealousy and hatred like hatred, and really speak of the Metropolitan Governor to the sky, Li has been by his side for a long time, and he still knows something about the Metropolitan Governor." ”
Long Shichu glanced at him and said, "What kind of person is the Metropolitan Governor in the eyes of Counselor Li?" ”
Li Tingyu said with a smile: "The adult is an interesting person, not bad to people with ability, good to the common people, good to the soldiers, in short, he is a good young man, after being around him for a long time, he always feels that he is the little brother in the neighborhood, but after leaving the metropolitan governor, looking at the past, there is no such person." ”
When Long Shichu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "The Grand Governor is really an interesting person." I only hope that this retreat will not make the people of Qin Lian suffer too much. ”
Li Tingyu said: "Why don't you leave Commander Feng behind!" He is the son of Feng Zicai and Feng Dashuai, Li Liejun will not embarrass him too much when he looks at him! ”
Long Shichu sighed and said, "I just don't know if Feng Gongzi is willing to stay." ”
"Feng is willing to stay!" Feng Xiangrong's voice came from outside the living room, and then he walked in and said: "My father can annihilate the French in Zhennanguan for the sake of the country, Xiangrong is not talented, although he can't protect the country, but he doesn't want Qinlian's father to cry in the war." ”
"Li Liejun is definitely not a good man and a woman, Feng Gongzi has to think twice!" Long Shichu couldn't help but remind, now that the old general Feng has passed away for a long time, only this man is still alive, and after the martyrdom, he still wants to save one or two.
Feng Xiangrong said with a smile: "I have my own way to protect it, the two generals don't have to worry." ”
Long Shichu glanced at Feng Xiangrong, who was resolute and righteous with a resolute and awe-inspiring face, and was seriously unsour, and said: "Old General Feng is the hero of the country, and God will protect him, and he will not let his heirs be cut off." Childe still hopes to take care, and it is good that he will meet one day! After saying that, tears flowed.
A day later, Li Tingyu and Long Shichu's army escorted away the arms, grain, grass, and baggage from Qinlian to Maoming, and Gao Lei made Wang Chunliang go out of the city thirty miles to respond. After learning that Li Tingyu and others had arrived in Maoming, Feng Xiangrong immediately announced the change of flag and the exclusion of envoys to welcome Li Liejun's troops into Qinlian.
scared off Shen Hongying, and Qin Lian was talked about by people with good intentions without fighting, Li Liejun's reputation rose to the sky like a flip, and they all said that Chang Zhenbang was better than Lu Rongting, Lu Rongting was better than Long Jiguang, and Li Liejun was better than Chang Zhenbang, so it can be concluded that Li Liejun is the most powerful in the territory of Liangguang.
This kind of news naturally can't be taken seriously, Long Jiguang, Lu Rongting, Chang Zhenbang will not take this kind of thing seriously, but they can't stand the revolutionary parties lurking on the ground in Guangdong, desperately propagandizing, it seems that Chang Zhenbang's thousands of troops are like paper people and paper horses, Li Liejun is angry and urine, although this kind of message in the province is relatively heavy, but seeing Chang Zhenbang's soldiers caused by Guangzhou, northern Guangdong, Huizhou and other places are not impressed, only the Chaozhou ground is blowing more and more gods, and finally broke out in response to Li Liejun's entry into Guangzhou, The leader of the chaotic party led this time is Wu Zishou and Chen Jiao Clam, Wu Zishou is the rebellious party of the hardcore Sun Monkey, Chen Jiao Clams in the past under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor infested the green forest of Jiangyang thieves, was imprisoned by the former town guard Wu Xiangda, and later Chen Jiao Clams came to rob the prison, and saved Wu Zishou and a group of people, since then Chen Jiao Clams have become a righteous man in the green forest, and then one of the Chen Clams or the person who sued him, there are many revolutionary parties besieged and attacked it, saying: "Do you know that Chen Jiao Clams saved Wu Zishou Wu Lord? Are people revolutionary heroes, they just robbed you of some property and slept with your girl, what is there to worry about, there is no half of revolutionary consciousness, it is really ignorant of lifting! If you make trouble again, your whole family will be destroyed! ”
After tasting the benefits, Chen Jiao also reciprocated and brought his brothers to join Wu Zishou's alliance, and supported Wu Zishou's rebellion many times, which eventually led to the vigorous Chaomei Rebellion.
Since Tang Baichuan persuaded the Long Jiguang brothers to give up the Chaomei area, Wang Xifeng led the troops to be sent here to become the new Chaomei town guard, and he took office together with Zhu Fuquan, the governor of Qingxiang and his Shaoguan soldiers, the two sides also cooperated tacitly, according to Chang Zhenbang's policy of pacifying Guangdong, lightly dismissing the people and not disturbing the people, and soon won the favor of the people in the Chaomei area, this goodwill gave Wu Zishou a lot of pressure, as long as he was not Mr. Sun's people, he should not treat the people well, this Chang Zhenbang, What Zhu Fuquan and others did was a reversal of the calendar, and in the long run, where would there be a mass base for the revolution? After thinking about it, they finally decided to start a revolution before Wang Xifeng's department pulled out Chaomei and Shen Hongying's department entered Chaomei, and played "I'd rather have Sun Jiacao than Chang Jialiang", "If you don't revolutionize, kill the whole family, and those who are revolutionary will be officials!" Two clear slogans, in Chaozhou, Meizhou, Shantou three places, at the same time broke out a large-scale rebellion, although the people are grateful for Chang Zhenbang's policy, but after all, the time is still short, many people think that this policy is just a temporary show, in a few days, it will be as corrupt and tyrannical as those officials in the past, so the people who participated in this rebellion are not a few, the momentum is huge, the governor of Jieyang County, the governor of Shantou County have abandoned the official and fled, Wu Zishou simply opened the treasury, armed the mob. After Zhu Fuquan had just pacified Meizhou, when he turned back to deal with Wu Zishou, he had organized four or five thousand people to support Li Huguo, and at the same time, the defenders of Dongjiang and other places also launched the Dongjiang rebellion under the instigation of Chen Jiongming, and became a corner with Wu Zishou, and Zhu Fuquan had to return to Meizhou. At this time, Shen Hongying's army had just entered Guangzhou and was received by Chang Zhenbang with a high standard, and Wang Xifeng's troops had just arrived in Huizhou. After Li Liejun's three armies joined Qin Lian, appointed Feng Xiangrong as the Dao Yin of Qin Lian, and Zhang Kairu as the guard of Qin Lian Town, he sent troops straight to Gao Lei Town to guard the envoy.
Gao Lei town guard Wang Chunliang, not a fool, waited until Li Tingyu and others out of Maoming, immediately in the name of pacifying the Zhanjiang bandits, sent troops with all the heavy grain and grass, bombs transferred to the Yangdong area, and secretly sent people to Li Liejun and Long Jiguang to discuss, who knew that Li Liejun looked down on him at all, only agreed to him to surrender and did not agree to him to defect, but the old governor Long Jiguang expressed his suspicions of ice release, and after welcoming the attitude of returning, he even looted the Gaolei area and threw it to Zhanjiang Long Jiguang.
By the time the prince of Long Shi entered Guangzhou, Li Liejun's department had already entered Maoming, and Li Yaohan and Wang Chunxianzi, the guards of Zhaoyang Luo, were generally people at both ends of the first rat, but Li Yaohan's soldiers mostly had a large territory, and he had the posture of Chu Han and Huaiyin Marquis for Han and Chu for Han and Chu for Chu to win. Chang Zhenbang sent 100,000 oceans, and Li Liejun euphemistically expressed his hope that he would become the Zhaoyang Luo Protector of the National Protector Army.
Not long after, Li Liejun's troops arrived in Xiangshan, Chen Bing was under the city of Guangzhou, and Sun Wu, a thief from Xiangshan County, also gathered thousands of chaotic faces and arrived at the city of Guangzhou.
Sun Monkey also excluded the secret envoy to meet Chang Zhenbang, hoping that he would look at the face of the national protection army at the same time, give up Guangdong, and not hurt each other's harmony, Chang Zhenbang asked rhetorically: "There is nothing to do, the other person is ambitious, insatiable, coveting my Guangdong, how can he have half a heart of patriotism and love for the people, if Sun has a little shame, he should also let Li Liejun withdraw from Yunnan!" Now he asked me to quit Guangdong, what a joke, didn't he know that Guangdong was the result of my bloody war, how could he give up easily! After saying that, he killed the messenger in Guangzhou and announced the secret letter to the world, and there was an uproar.
Chang Zhenbang called Chen Lianbo, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and said: "The business group wishes me a lot, Zhenbang is grateful, and now on the occasion of the war, regardless of victory or defeat, I hope that Chen Tuantou can protect the safety of the people and merchants in the city, even if Zhenbang is defeated, it will not harm the people of Guangzhou." ”
Chen Lianbo said: "The governor of the capital can rest assured, my merchant group comes from the merchants, taken from the people, this peace of land and protection of the people is no worse than the adult, but the representatives of the merchant group have already agreed with the adult, just to maintain law and order in Guangzhou, there is absolutely no obligation to send troops for the adult." Chen has a weak heart, and I hope that adults will forgive me. ”
Chang Zhenbang said: "It's not easy for you, it's not kind to Zhenbang to say anything else, now that the war is coming, I hope Uncle Lian will ensure his health!" ”
Chen Lianbo said with gratitude on his face: "Thank you for your care!" The villain will pray to God for victory for the adult. ”
Chang Zhenbang said with emotion: "Thank you for your kindness, go back early, sister-in-law should be worried." ”
