Chapter 156: "Expansion"
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Xiong Kewu looked anxious.
The Sichuan army came from afar, Wang Hengyue waited for work, he had artillery and guns, and his morale was high.
As a result, Yucheng and Chengdu, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan have to fight.
"Brother Kewu, could it be that the enemy has hit me under the nose, so I can only sit and wait for death?" Wang Hengyue asked coldly.
"No, no, that's not what it means." Xiong Kewu said repeatedly: "Anyway, let's hold it off for a while, and when I go to the army to aid Sichuan, I will ask about the situation, and it will not be too late to talk about it at that time." ”
Wang Hengyue glanced at him coldly: "Brother Kewu, brother will give you this face, the two sides are bounded by Yibin Wai Tanjiachang, if the reinforcement of the Sichuan army goes further, don't blame me Wang Hengyue for turning his face!" ”
Xiong Kewu was worried that something would happen, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he asked Wang Hengyue to borrow a fast horse and gallop away to Yibin.
As soon as he left, Ma Xiao asked, "Heng Shuai, to fight or not to fight?" ”
"Hit? If you hit a fart, Lao Tzu will become a public enemy at that time. Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Yucheng have to attack Lao Tzuqun! Does Lao Tzu use a division to fight the enemy in the four places? Wang Hengyue sneered a few times: "I forgive him that the Guizhou army and the Yunnan army don't dare to fight, everyone starts a posture and pretends to be, but no one dares to fire this first shot!" ”
Jiang Baili and Cai Ye have known each other for a long time, and when they heard this, they nodded slightly: "Don't fight better, the most important thing for us now is to be stable and concentrate on growth, rather than falling into attrition." Cai Songpo worked hard for the revolution, but this time he was a little anxious. He wanted to unify Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou by force, and then concentrate on the Northern Expedition. But the situation in these places is different, how can it be unified overnight? ”
"I admire Cai Songpo, he is a real revolutionary." Wang Hengyue's words did not blame Cai Ye at all, but more admiration: "And I expect that this aid to Sichuan, the accident will not be caused by me, on the contrary, it can also prompt Yucheng and Chengdu to negotiate peace, and completely reunify Sichuan temporarily, which is a bad thing to a good thing." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Baili and Ma Xiao let out an "oh" at the same time, a little surprised.
Wang Hengyue smiled and didn't speak. Could it be that after the Yunnan army entered Sichuan, military discipline was corrupted, revolutionary heroes were killed, and finally the anger of the people indirectly prompted Yucheng and Chengdu to sit at the negotiating table?
"In fact, there have always been contradictions between Yunnan and Sichuan, and Sichuan's problem is mainly Yunnan." Wang Hengyue said slowly: "At present, it is good for Cai Ye to sit in Yunnan, but at most it is some revolutionary contradictions. But in the future, when the chaos is together, another person will control Yunnan, look at it, this control of Sichuan will definitely become the policy of Yunnan Province! ”
"Why is that?" Ma Xiao asked puzzled.
Wang Hengyue's eyes were a little uncertain: "The core is cloud soil!" Controlling Sichuan and opening up the Yangtze River waterway will certainly greatly facilitate the transportation of opium from the Yangtze River basin! Tobacco soil is the economic backbone of many troops in the future, where the fundamental interests lie! ”
Jiang Baili thought there for a while and nodded slightly.
But I was also a little surprised in my heart, this Heng Shuai had already thought so far? Could it be that he had already expected that the situation in China would inevitably be chaotic in the future?
Wang Hengyue didn't continue to speak, and straightened his military uniform: "Let's go, go to Yibin!" ”
After arriving in Yibin, perhaps Xiong Kewu's persuasion played a role, or perhaps it was Yibin's heavy security that made the Sichuan army worried, and the Sichuan army stopped advancing thirty miles away from Tanjiachang.
At this time, the Reading Power Mixed Division was armed with two regiments, a regiment of the armed guards, and two brigades of the security team, which were deployed in Yibin, eyeing each other, and pulled out a posture of a big fight.
Those black muzzles and murderous faces of the soldiers, as long as an order is given, this place is bound to become a battlefield of blood and fire!
Wang Hengyue knows very well that this battle can't be fought, but he must show a tough attitude now!
Yanjing is the most important economic pillar of his current situation, and after the situation is chaotic in the future, it is bound to become a coveted place for warlords from all walks of life, if he does not have a tough attitude and is not afraid of war, he is afraid that anyone will want to intervene in the future! At that time, I am afraid that there will not be a day of peace in these places!
"Tell it, tell it!" Xiong Kewu, who returned to Yibin from the Sichuan Army, was a little reproachful: "Why did you pull so many troops over?" ”
"Brother Kewu has done his best for the revolution, and my brother believes in Brother Kewu, but my brother has to be on guard as soon as possible, otherwise he will be cut off and he will still be in a dream!"
Wang Hengyue's words made Xiong Kewu smile bitterly and pointed to the outside of the city: "I have analyzed the pros and cons with them, and the Sichuan army has promised not to continue the march, waiting for the order of the governor of Cai Yi and the political axe of the Yucheng Shu army." ”
"Am I really scared of marching?" Wang Hengyue sneered: "Come on, go and get things done!" ”
A few soldiers brought it to the outer city wall and wrote a few big words on the city wall:
"Wang Hengyue is here!"
These words can be clearly seen from afar, and Xiong Kewu gasped.
Wang Hengyue is here!
The following means that this is his Wang Hengyue's territory, and it is self-evident what the hard attackers will cause.
"Brother Shuzhi!" Xiong Kewu's speech was very hurried: "I'll go to Yucheng to take office, I ask you, no matter what, try to restrain that!" ”
Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "Brother Kewu, my Wang will never fire the first shot, but if anyone wants to fight, I am not afraid!" Brother sincerely say a word, talk better than fight! Sichuan's problems have to be solved by Sichuan! ”
Xiong Kewu left, and the Sichuan army retreated again, a battle that was about to break out, but it was temporarily silenced under Wang Hengyue's tough attitude.
But calm, only superficially
A reading mixer is obviously not enough to control the overall situation. Rongxian, Leshan, Ziliujing, Gongjing, and Yibin were all under the control of Wang Hengyue, and while the territory was expanding, the battle line was also significantly lengthened.
The expansion of the army has become a top priority.
Wang Hengyue had only one division in his hands, but this did not prevent Wang Hengyue from expanding.
The Reading Force Mixed Division was organized into six main infantry regiments, which were commanded by Xie Shuixiang, Li Yifeng, Xu Mu, Wu Qianlong, Yang Sen, and Wang Zhanxu. A mixed regiment, commanded by Ma Xiao. A guard regiment, headed by Huang Zixuan. Two supplementary regiments, Wei Shunzhi and Jiang Naiyu served as the commanders. The Armed Guards were still under the command of Dunxia and Pete.
The security team was changed to the security team, and Jia Haoyang served as the head of the regiment. The artillery team was transformed into an artillery regiment, and Liu Sihai served as the regiment commander.
At this time, all regiments were not satisfied, and recruiting soldiers became a top priority!
Once the regiments were replenished, Wang Hengyue had the strength of ten infantry regiments in his hands. Cooperate with the armed guards, security regiments, and artillery regiments, once such armed forces appear, they will definitely play a decisive role in the situation in Sichuan!
The division staff was also established, and Jiang Baili served as the chief of staff.
changed the "Internal Affairs Department" to the "Intelligence Bureau", and Yang Fangyun served as the director; changed the "Statistics Department" to the "Statistics Bureau", with Yu Lei as the director; The "Investigation Department" was newly established, and Lu Xuan, who was formerly under Yu Lei, was transferred to serve as the director of the division, which was appreciated by Wang Hengyue.
A special mobile brigade was established, with Black Iron as the captain.
A system completely controlled by Wang Hengyue is taking shape, or it can be said that the "Wang Hengyue Group" has a preliminary scale
Wang Hengyue successfully withdrew from the chaos in Chengdu, and put all his energy into developing and strengthening himself. The title of governor of a military and political axe did not mean anything to him. Pu Dianjun's buttocks were not yet hot, and he was driven down from the position of governor, and Yin Changheng sat up, and he had to face the challenges of the severe situation of the crusade against Chengdu in various places, which was enough for him to have a headache.
At this time, Wang Hengyue was developing himself freely, waiting for the day when he was born
Another incident happened that greatly enhanced Wang Hengyue's prestige again.
Previously, when the Qing army was besieging Rong County, some salt merchants wanted to sell the salt well out of distrust of the future, but Wang Hengyue took the form of a mortgage and did not want any interest.
During the period from the siege of the Qing army to the establishment of the "Han Sichuan Military and Political Axe" in Chengdu, Wang Hengyue relied on these salt wells mortgaged to himself and obtained a lot of benefits for himself!
After that, when those salt merchants who saw that the situation was stable, with the mentality of trying it out, took the mortgage documents and wanted to redeem the salt well, Wang Hengyue agreed without hesitation.
Rebel! Righteous handsome! This is the real army of benevolence and righteousness, the real commander of benevolence and righteousness!
Seeing the salt wells that had been returned to them, the salt merchants couldn't believe it! The cheers of "Long live Hengshuai, Heng Shuai and wise" kept coming out of the mouths of these salt merchants.
Heng Shuai promises a thousand gold, sympathetic to businessmen, such Heng Shuai, no matter how much he takes in exchange, he must not let him go!
As soon as it spread ten, ten spread hundreds, Wang Hengyue's reputation for benevolence and righteousness soon spread!
The gentry class has fully accepted Wang Hengyue and regarded him as their protector! But with Heng Shuai here, there is nothing to worry about anymore.
Even if the enemy's thousands of troops come over, Heng Shuai can protect everyone!
After the news of Wang Hengyue's generous return of Yanjing came out, businessmen from all over the world began to enter Rongxian, Leshan, Yibin and other places to look for business opportunities. Now Sichuan is really too chaotic, and business is really not peaceful, and there is nothing to worry about in the territory controlled by Wang Hengyue.
It is also a great news for the "Chengdu Commercial Bank", which is in full swing.
A very important thing for a bank is its credibility, and with Wang Hengyue's brand, when the bank is really established in the future, it will be much smoother.
Wang Hengyue won't care about the chaos outside, at least not now.
When your strength is really enough to make you speak, then it is the time when you really appear.
Now, let them go wild!
