Chapter 54: Intricacies

As the Beiyang officers brought by Jin Yunpeng were successively sent to the 19th Town to serve as officers at all levels, it brought about the deepening contradiction between Cui Xiangkui, the commander of the 19th Town, and Li Jingxi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info This also laid the groundwork for Cui Xiangkui's resignation in the future.

Although Xiao Mubai has always been sitting and watching the changes in the situation, watching the battle between Cui Xiangkui and Li Jingxi. But sometimes this kind of change will also change to your head, and you can't hide it.

Hearing the news of Cui Xiangkui's visit, Xiao Mubai was not much surprised. These days, because of the matter of sending officers, Cui Xiangkui secretly and secretly doesn't know how many times he has resisted, which also makes Li Jingxi furious. After thinking about it, Cui Xiangkui's coming this time was nothing more than to win over those officers who boycotted Beiyang together.

However, the development of the facts was indeed much beyond Xiao Mubai's expectations.

"Brother Mubai, I came here this time to send you a strong future." Cui Xiangkui joked with a smile.

Xiao Mubai, who listened to Cui Xiangkui's words, was stunned, and couldn't help but be angry in his heart, this is endless. He said in a deep voice: "Lord Commander, didn't you just send it not long ago last time?" ”

"It's different, the two people who are coming this time are coming to serve as the standard of your 38th Association."

For the assignment of two people to come to the 38th co-ordination standard, this made Xiao Mubai really dissatisfied, originally he still wanted to promote Yan Weidong, after all, this is the backbone of the Communist Party, his own descendants, and he is handy in command. It had only been more than a month since those people came last time, and they had just smoothed out the edges and corners of those officers who came last time, and they sent people again.

Hearing Cui Xiangkui's words, although Xiao Mubai's heart was very unhappy, he could only hold it down at the moment, but his face began to become extremely gloomy.

Seeing Xiao Mubai's gloomy face, Cui Xiangkui secretly rejoiced in his heart beside him. Hurriedly spoke:

"Brother Xiao, don't get me wrong, this is not what I meant, you also have to be considerate of my brother's difficulties."

Seeing Cui Xiangkui, who was still fanning the flames on the side, Xiao Mubai frowned. Although he was unhappy with the arrival of these two people, Xiao Mubai had not yet reached the point of clear rejection, at most, he hung up high and became a bodhisattva. What he was unhappy about was that the top kept stuffing people into the Thirty-Eight Association.

"The ruler is too worried, and the subordinate understands your difficulties. It's just that the War Department is too much, and the officers have been sent down again and again, and now we have changed up and down in the nineteenth town. Xiao Mubai said with an unhappy face.

"Brother Xiao is very right. Brother, I'm helpless. Cui Xiangkui said with a relative.

"I don't know who is here this time, if the ruler will tell me in detail." Xiao Mubai frowned and said to Cui Xiangkui.

"Both of them were brought by Jin Yunpeng this time, one is called Qu Tongfeng, and the other is called Ding Jin." Speaking of Jin Yunpeng, Cui Xiangkui couldn't help but snort coldly.

After Cui Xiangkui left, Xiao Mubai did a sufficient investigation of the two standards that were going to come this time. Looking at the information in his hand, Xiao Mubai's face was full of solemnity. For Qu Tongfeng, Xiao Mubai is still recognized, he participated in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War in his early years, and his thinking is relatively open-minded, not to mention his ability, after all, he also served as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy during the Beiyang period in another time and space. As for the other person Ding Jin, Xiao Mubai just has no good impression at all, Ding Jin is a literati, he doesn't understand military affairs, he doesn't speak, he is a digression, he is sponsored by Duan Qirui of the Beiyang Department, and he came to Yunnan with Jin Yunpeng this time, he is a stubborn and loyal person to the Qing court, and he expresses deep hatred for the revolution.

For these two people, it seems that they have to be used at their discretion, and if they are used well, they can be used as a means. In this way, this army will have to be reorganized.

Not mentioning that Xiao Mubai took the opportunity to step up the purge of the troops in the 38th Association, but said that since 1909, Yunnan has returned to the province to work in Yunnan Province at public expense. After that, a large number of Yunnan League Revolutionary Party members who had studied in Japan also returned to Yunnan one after another, and Liu Zuwu, Zhang Kairu, Gu Pinzhen, Fang Shengtao, Zhao Kangshi, Han Fenglou, Shen Wangdu, Li Dafu League members, etc., all entered the Yunnan Lecture Hall as instructors.

As a result, all of a sudden, the revolutionary ideology in Yunnan became more and more popular, and the non-commissioned officers and students studying in Japan in the Yunnan Army Martial Arts Hall discussed the revolution more and more frequently.

On this day, Li Hongxiang's home in Kunming City gathered Li Gengen, Xie Ruyi, Luo Peijin and other league members.

"Yin Quan, I've been in this lecture hall for more than half a year, I don't know if you have noticed that there seems to be another revolutionary force within the lecture hall." Li Hongxiang asked Li Gengen quite suspiciously, after all, among all the people seated, only Li Gengen had stayed in the martial arts hall for the longest time.

"Oh? Do you see that? Actually, when I first came to the lecture hall, I had already found out. Li Gengen replied indifferently.

Hearing the conversation between the two, several people present suddenly became interested.

"There's another thing that we really haven't found out. Yin Quan, tell us about it. As soon as Li Gengen's words fell, Xie Ruyi next to him couldn't wait to ask.

"You all know Ma Xiang and Du Hanfu!" Li Gengen suddenly said seriously.

"I know, we knew each other when we were in Japan, but I didn't expect them to be in the martial arts hall now. However, I heard that two years ago, for unknown reasons, they suddenly withdrew from the alliance. ”

"Yes, they did quit the League in the first place. However, if my guess is correct, they should have joined a new party that is very strict about party membership and does not accept members who are also in other parties or organizations. The revolutionary force in the secret of the Jiangwutang that I just mentioned should also belong to this party, and the two of them are the top leaders of the party in the Jiangwutang. ”

"Oh? What else is going on? I don't know what kind of party this is? ”

"The Communist Party of China."

"The Communist Party? I've never heard of it! It seems that there is a Communist Party in Hubei, and it is also the organization of our alliance, why did a Communist Party suddenly appear here? Li Hongxiang also said without doubt.

"According to my investigation, the Communist Progressive Party was founded on July 7, 1907, and the theories put forward are quite similar to the ideas of our League, but they are very different, and their theories are more detailed and tightly organized. Although it has only been three years since its founding, the development of their power is quite huge, not to mention the far-reaching, let's just say that more than forty percent of the people in the lecture hall belong to the Communist Party, not to mention the rest who tend to the Communist Party. Also, do you know that Xiao Mubai, the leader of the Nineteenth Town and the Thirty-Eighth Association? ”

Seeing that several people nodded, Li Gengen immediately said: "According to my observation, this Xiao Mubai seems to also belong to the Communist Party. And I heard that Xiao Mubai is now running the 38th Association like an iron bucket, and all the officers in it are the only ones who obey his orders. In other words, the 38th Association is already about to become the base camp of the Communist Party. ”

Seeing that several people were stunned by his words, Li Gengen continued to break the news: "It is said that Huasheng Group, which invested in the construction of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway a year ago, is also inextricably linked to Xiao Mubai. From this point of view, this company is certainly inseparable from the Communist Party. ”

"Huasheng Group? How is this possible? How is this possible? Li Hongxiang muttered to himself.

"Yin Quan, how do you know this?" Li Hongxiang suddenly asked.

"Hehe, it's also interesting, since I came to the lecture hall, I have been walking around a lot with Ma Xiang and Du Hanfu. They invited me to join the Communist Party, so they introduced me to the party's constitution and policies. And after that, I also secretly paid attention to it. But then again, I'm quite excited about whether or not to join the Communist Party. Li Gengen said with emotion.

"I really didn't expect that, according to your statement, doesn't that mean that the Communist Party is now asking for money and money, and guns and guns? That being the case, then why did they launch an armed uprising at an early stage to overthrow the Manchu Tartar government? Xie Ruyi said depressedly. It's really depressing enough, if he and the others had such a powerful force, they would have captured Yunnan and swept the whole country.

"That's what puzzles me." Li Gengen sighed deeply.

For a moment, the room fell silent, and countless thoughts turned in the hearts of everyone seated.
