Chapter 233: "Welcome to the City"
"Commander Xia, Commander Xia!"
When Xia Zhishi heard this, he waved his hand: "Don't kick my Commander Xia, I am no longer Commander Xia." I'm just living in seclusion in Chengdu now, and I just want to live this life in peace. ”
Huang Fusheng paused again and again: "My Commander Xia, seeing that Lu Shidi and they are about to lose!" As members of the old League, we swore to overthrow the Manchus on the basis of industry. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the revolution was not completed. Xiong Kewu raised troops to protect the country, Lu Shidi was the chief of staff, and he needed us to work hard, why are you retreating now? ”
"Yes, Commander Xia, things are critical!" Zhu Zhihong, another cadre of the "Industrial Group", also said loudly: "Xiong Kewu and Lu Shidi are fighting bloodily outside Chengdu, what we mean is that Commander Xia will lead us, gather the people, launch an uprising again, and take advantage of the opportunity of Ding[***] to attack the city in a big way, seize the puppet Chengwu General's Mansion in one fell swoop, control the arsenal, and then announce that Chengdu Reading Power, and then set up Chengdu military and political axes, and call on the whole Sichuan to help, such a big thing can be done!" ”
"From Chengdu again?" Xia Zhi smiled, and the smile was a little sarcastic.
"Boom", the explosion didn't know where it came from, the house was a little shaky, and Xia Zhi nodded to the outside of the house: "It's different now, haven't you seen the situation clearly until now?" Sichuan, it's the Sichuan of the Wang Dadudu, Cai Songpo is sick, and no one in Sichuan is his opponent anymore."
Huang Fusheng was disapproving: "Who is Wang Hengyue?" The yellow-haired boy is just that, where does he have any qualifications to be the governor? There is no title of the head of the revolution, but how can it be compared with Commander Xia? We are willing to obey Commander Xia's command and raise the banner of righteousness again! ”
Xia Zhishi smiled wryly and shook his head.
Why are these former companions of mine still immersed in dreams? The current Sichuan is no longer the Sichuan of the past!
His own group of people have been eliminated by history. Of course, if there is no Wang Hengyue, maybe his group of people can still be active on the stage of history.
However, there is never an if
In fact, since the year of the merger of Chengdu and Chongqing, he has already paid attention to Wang Hengyue. He could have taken the position of governor, but he gave up, why?
Is he selfless? Or is he not interested in being an official at all? At that time, I was really confused.
But now all the mysteries have been solved:
Wang Hengyue didn't want to be it, but felt that the time was not ripe, and when he thought the time was ripe, then he would sit in this position at all costs. And now, that opportunity has come.
No one has been able to remove him from this position
It's just that these former companions will never be able to see clearly
A hurried knock sounded on the door, and when I opened the door, I saw Zhou Guanhe, the leader of the first detachment of the recruiting army and also an important member of the industrial group, rushing in covered in blood, and cried loudly as soon as he came in: "Lu Shidi, Zeng Ziyu, and Yan Deji have sacrificed!" ”
This remark was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it blew up several people in the room.
Huang Fusheng roared: "No, it's impossible, it's impossible!" ”
"Really, it's true, we failed, we failed!" Zhou Guanhe couldn't cry: "Wang Hengyue bribed Zhou Jun and counterattacked us, Commander-in-Chief Xiong Kewu organized the last attack, Lu Shidi personally organized the charge, sacrificed, they all sacrificed!" I finally ran back from the battlefield to tell you! ”
There was dead silence in the room, and for a long time, Huang Fusheng suddenly screamed sadly: "Wang Hengyue! ”
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door, accompanied by explosions and gunshots, and it didn't sound very clear.
Xia Zhi cleaned up his sadness and asked the subordinate to open the door, just as he wanted to persuade his companion, but he didn't want to suddenly see the subordinate walk in backwards.
followed up by seven or eight big men.
The one in the lead, who is not very tall, but looks very lean, with a cold face and gloomy eyes.
He looked at the people in the room with his hands behind his back: "Xia Zhishi, Huang Fusheng, Zhu Zhihong?" ”
"It's us, who are you?" Xia Zhi sensed that something was wrong and asked calmly.
"My name is Black Iron." Black Iron cracked his mouth, as if he was smiling, but the whole face made it look even more terrifying.
"Wang Hengyue asked you to kill us?" Xia Zhishi seemed to understand something.
Black Iron shook his head, and suddenly, his hand came out from behind his back, holding a barge gun in his hand.
The people around him all showed their weapons.
Gunshots rang out like firecrackers
It's over.
Hei Tie carefully examined each corpse to make sure that all of them were out of breath, and then stuffed the gun in his hand into Xia Shishi's hand, and his subordinates quickly dragged in the two corpses from the outside. He was still wearing a military uniform, which was Chen Yan's soldier.
Black Iron glanced at the corpse in the place indifferently, and then left with his men unhurriedly
"Long live the Grand Governor! Banzai!! Banzai!!! ”
"Long live the military and political axe! Banzai!! Banzai!!! ”
There are still sporadic gunshots outside the city of Chengdu, but the fanatical cries have resounded throughout the city!
Countless Ding[***] soldiers stood on both sides of the street, constantly waving their guns in their hands, and constantly shouting frantically.
Countless white banners were raised on the windows on the side of the street, all of which read:
"Celebrate the recovery of Chengdu, long live the Metropolitan Governor, long live the military and political axe!"
A large number of people and gentry stood behind the soldiers, constantly waving the five-colored flags in their hands, expressing their feelings to the fullest.
Wang Hengyue has never enjoyed such treatment when he entered Chengdu. Although the trauma of the war is still visible, the festive atmosphere can no longer be concealed.
The name of Wang Hengyue, the governor of the Sichuan military and political axe, is unknown to no one in the whole Sichuan.
The officers supported him because he was the pillar of the army; The common people supported him because of his touching performance in the fight against disasters and his various stories of kindness to the people; The gentry and merchants supported him, because he had returned the salt well in a righteous manner, protecting the interests of the gentry and the merchants
It can even be said that the vast majority of the people in Sichuan support Wang Hengyue, except for a small number of people.
Wang Hengyue opened Chengdu with cannons, but he walked into Chengdu amid cheers and flowers.
Before him, Yin Changheng did it, Hu Jingyi couldn't do it, and Chen Yan couldn't do it either.
Only Wang Hengyue did it. All the efforts he had made before were for the day to come.
Riding on a horse, Wang Hengyue, who was wearing the uniform of the metropolitan governor, kept waving to the people.
And his actions also attracted even more crazy cheers!
Now that you're in, don't kick anyone out again. Riding on a horse, Wang Hengyue, who was smiling, thought.
Seeing his chief of staff Jiang Baili coming with several division commanders and brigade commanders from a distance, Wang Hengyue turned over and dismounted and hurried to meet him.
Walking in front of him, Jiang Baili and his officers stood upright and raised their hands to salute: "Governor Dadu, the Eastern Route Army has completed the task and broken Chengdu!" ”
"Chief of Staff, hard work!" Wang Hengyue returned a military salute.
Jiang Baili turned around: "Come on, bring Chen Eun, a pretending to be a martial general!" ”
A team of soldiers tied up with five flowers, and the dejected Chen Eun came over, Wang Hengyue smiled and pointed at him with a horse whip and said: "Chen Eun, Chen Eun, when you say that you refuse to surrender, you will eventually become my prisoner!" ”
Where did Chen Eun dare to say anything more, he just whispered: "Eun Chen resisted the Metropolitan Governor, the crime deserves death, I just begged the Metropolitan Governor to spare my life, and from then on I will return to my hometown to farm, and I will never ask about the world again." ”
Wang Hengyue laughed "haha": "I'll kill you like killing a dog!" Come on, escort Chen Eun back to Yanjing! ”
Chen Yan was shocked.
Escort back to Yanjing, where do you have a good time!
Although Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui all turned against Yuan Shikai in the end, they actually respected Yuan Shikai in their hearts, especially after Yuan Shikai's death, but remembered his various benefits.
And he is the most ruthless, and the relationship with Yuan Shikai is also the most completely severed, in the eyes of those Beiyang generals, he has long become synonymous with ingratitude.
When he was sent back to Yanjing, he was afraid that the torture and humiliation he would suffer were far better than in Sichuan!
"Metropolitan Governor, Metropolitan Governor"
Chen Yan's cry became farther and farther away
The cheers of the soldiers and the people sounded again on the side, Wang Hengyue smiled and waved at them, and said to Jiang Baili with emotion:
"Chief of Staff, it's really not easy to get into Chengdu. It's been eight years, and I've been preparing for eight years to come in! ”
Jiang Baili knew what he meant, and smiled slightly: "But these eight years are completely worth it, the foundation has been firmly established, and if you enter Chengdu again, you don't have to be afraid of being kicked out." Heng Shuai took eight years to sit in the position of the king of Sichuan and get the whole of China, maybe it won't take eight years"
"Haha, how can I have such great ambitions." Wang Hengyue said with a "haha".
Jiang Baili didn't care about his attitude: "Heng Shuai has it, Heng Shuai will never say it to others when the conditions are not ripe." ”
Wang Hengyue smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the topic: "Chief of Staff, although Chengdu has been taken by us, the Sichuan issue is still a big problem. Stragglers and bandits are everywhere, and all kinds of military tickets are issued chaotically. Since the outbreak of the Protectorate War, prices have increased dramatically, and people in many places are living in hardship, and there are many problems waiting for us to solve! ”
"Heng Shuai can maintain such a mind in addition to the great victory, which is enough to make me happy." Jiang Baili was appreciative: "But you have to eat a bite of food, things have to be done step by step, you can't be in a hurry!" As long as we stabilize the situation in Chengdu first, and then slowly solve other problems, we will be able to stabilize Sichuan. ”
Wang Hengyue nodded and said, "I don't want to be kicked out of here by others before my ass is hot!" ”
