Chapter 623: Kawabe's Rebirth

On the surface, the storm of Wang Yongan's assassination gradually subsided, as if Wang Yongan didn't care, but in fact, both the Beiyang and Jiangbei departments were tracking down the assassins and the masterminds behind the scenes. The identity of the assassins has been revealed, but the mastermind behind it is still far away, and soon after Zhang Zuolin's subordinates found eleven assassins in Fushun City, but these people have been poisoned and killed, and there are fewer clues.

The enemy never appeared, which made Wang Yongan a little restless, so he could only act more cautiously, and strengthened his own security, increasing the number of guards from thirty to one hundred. In the Beijing Division, in addition to Yuan Shikai's guards, Wang Yongan's guards were the largest. Every time Wang Yongan travels, a large area of the guards around him is very spectacular, of course, others have great opinions on this, but they dare not speak out, after all, who accuses Wang Yongan at this time, will definitely be strongly criticized by public opinion.

For the assassination of Wang Yongan, Cai Ye has always felt extremely sorry, if he hadn't left Wang Yongan behind, maybe Wang Yongan would not have been in danger. Therefore, when he left Beijing and returned to Yunnan, Cai Ye specially visited Wang Yongan and gave his sword to Wang Yongan as a gift.

This saber was obtained as an honorable graduate when he graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and every year the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School only awarded the top three students of each class, and Cai Yi was one of the three most outstanding students of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School at that time.

Although this saber is not a real blade, it is only an ornament, but its meaning and value far exceed any gift, Wang Yongan was very moved, and said that he could not control it, Cai Yi said: "This is a little bit of my heart, and I hope that Brother Jingyun will not dislike and reject me." ”

Wang Yongan said: "It's not that I dislike Brother Songpo's sword, but because this gift is too valuable. ”

"It is because it is my most precious gift that I want to give it to my most precious friend." Cai Ye said.

Wang Yongxin was moved, and suddenly advised: "Brother Songpo, listen to my advice, don't come to Beijing after leaving Beijing." ”

Cai Ye was surprised: "Oh, why is that? ”

Wang Yongan said: "Jingshi is not a good place, maybe you can come in but not out." ”

Cai Yi smiled slightly and said: "Then I will follow the example of Brother Jingyun and you, and stir up the Jingshi to restlessness, and if they don't let me go, I have to let me out." ”

Wang Yongan laughed and said, "Have a good trip, Brother Songpo." ”

Cai Yi arched his hand and said, "Take care, Brother Jingyun." ”

Seeing Cai Ye get on the train, Wang Yongan sighed with emotion, wondering if Cai Ye in this world would be deceived by Yuan Shikai again as in history and trapped in Beijing. However, if you count it according to history, Yuan Shikai should gradually have the idea of becoming the emperor.

At this time, Yuan Shikai's eldest son, Yuan Keding, first found Wang Yongan and told him that he wanted to establish a unit completely subordinate to him, an officer model regiment. Yuan Keding hoped to recruit some graduates from the military academy as cadets of the officer model regiment, and Yuan Keding served as the head of the model regiment, so as to cultivate officers who were loyal to him.

Wang Yongan shook his head and smiled bitterly, Yuan Keding thought too simply, if the establishment of a model officer corps can only be loyal to Yuan Shikai, how can he be loyal to him Yuan Keding, so he said: "You ask the president, and then say that this matter is not under my management, I am just a temporary envoy of the Kawabian Economic Strategy and a part-time deputy minister of the army." ”

Yuan Keding was so angry when he saw Wang Yongan playing leather ball, and then asked Yuan Shikai for instructions, but was severely criticized by Yuan Shikai and was locked at home for seven days without going out, making him reflect on himself. Yuan Keding didn't know what mistakes he had made, and being locked up was just sulking.

Wang Yongan stayed in Beijing under the pretext of recovering from his injuries, but soon after an incident forced him to make the decision to leave Beijing.

After the establishment of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai was ready to begin to confer titles on officers and generals across the country, so officers from all over the country came to Beijing one after another, and Yin Hengchang, the governor of Sichuan Province, also entered Beijing to prepare for the award ceremony. However, as soon as Yin Hengchang entered Beijing, he was detained by the military police, impeached and sentenced to nine years in prison for embezzling military salaries, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

Although the Sichuan overseers were dismissed, the Sichuan people did not seem to react too violently, because it was the generals of Sichuan Province who provided Yin Hengchang with the central government's embezzled military salaries, which belonged to the Sichuan Provincial Infighting, and outsiders had no way to interfere. Due to the dismissal of the Sichuan Provincial Overseer, the Sichuan-Yunnan counterinsurgency plan agreed between Yin Hengchang and Cai Ye was also aborted.

The Kang army composed of the Kham people on the Sichuan side and the Zang army composed of the Xizang Zangba people each attacked the border capital, and the army deployed by the former Qing in Lhasa was only a few hundred people, which was quickly wiped out by the Zang army. Later, under the instigation of the British, Zang's army went out of Zang and entered the border and began to march into the Sichuanbian area to recover Ya'an City.

When the Qing Dynasty divided the various tribes of Xizang, it consciously dismantled the large ethnic groups into small ethnic groups, so there were Kham people, Zangba people, Duiba people, Weiba people and Boba people, among which the Kham people lived in the Sichuan Special Area.

The Chuanbian Rebellion was originally a contradiction between some Kham nobles and the Republic of China government, but the Zang army came down from the plateau and burned the Kham people all the way to provoke the Kham people to resist, and then there was a Zang Kang conflict, which caused the Kang army in the center to turn their guns to attack the Zang army and defect to the Republic of China government. However, the menacing Zang army, with the support of the British behind it, led to the Kang army's successive combat preparations, and finally forced to hold on to Ya'an City and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, at this time, Yin Hengchang was imprisoned, and Cai Ye was still floating on the sea (Cai Ye returned to Guangzhou from Tianjin by boat, and then returned to Yunnan), Kang Jun had to send a telegram requesting the central government to rush to help immediately, otherwise Ya'an would not be protected, and Chuanbian would fall into the hands of Zang Jun.

As the envoy of the Sichuan Border Governor, Wang Yongan had to stand up and speak at this time, and he said: "The Sichuan Border Rebellion must be quelled, and any separatists must be slaughtered, but the rebel army is so strong that it is not safe for the central government to send only two divisions, so the 8th, 9th, and 10th divisions should be sent immediately." ”

Yuan Shikai struggled for a long time, because if Wang Yongan had three army divisions of more than 70,000 people, he would once again become a local warlord, but letting him go to the Sichuan side could gradually eliminate his influence, so Yuan Shikai was in a dilemma. In the end, it was Yang Du who suggested: "The bitter cold on the Sichuan side, Wang Jingyun can't afford to raise an army of 70,000, if we gradually reduce military spending and food salaries, his army will turn the hearts of the people on their backs." It is not necessary to use a knife to kill, we can give the knife to Wang Yongan's subordinates and let them kill each other. ”

Yuan Shikai finally made up his mind, and immediately agreed to Wang Yongan's request, and named the 8th, 9th, and 10th Divisions to go to the riverside, of which the 8th Division would be moved to Ya'an, and the 9th and 10th Divisions should return to Huainan and Huaibei after quelling the rebellion.
