After Hua Zhongtian annihilated the elite of the Yunnan army in the battle of Changde, he immediately divided his troops into three ways, one route was dominated by Hu Mingxiu to sweep Hunan, all the way to Li Tonghua took command of Guangxi, and the rest of the one was personally led by him to attack Guizhou, this road is really like a rainbow, Tongren, Kaili and other state capital defenders are not abandoning the city and fleeing, or looking at the wind and returning to Shun, although it is not called a bloody blade, but it is also simpler than imagined, even if it is a battle, it can be described as a fierce battle for more than five minutes, more is to fire a few shots, indicating that they resisted, Then he surrendered.

However, this can't be blamed on them, Yungui has been fighting with the Central Plains for many years, and it has been five or six years since the strength of the entire country was fought in a corner, not counting the local wars between Yunnan and Guizhou and Sichuan and Guangxi, which can be described as exhausted people's power and financial resources, and they are no longer able to support the overall situation alone, but also because after Tang Jiyao entered Guizhou, he wantonly appointed relatives and friends in the Yunnan army, but drove those local forces to the edge, and gave a senate a little better, and it would be good not to be shot if they didn't like it, don't look at them one by one in Yunnan Yankees are currently well-behaved like Sun Tzu, I can't wait to stab a few times. This time, Huazhong Tianxi is giving them the opportunity, these people have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, either to pay money and food to reward the three armies, or to cooperate with the central army to attack the city and conquer the land, but Huazhong Tian is not stingy, one by one on meritorious deeds, don't look at the county governor and other positions are inconspicuous, but people give real power, these people take office beautifully, like a spring breeze blowing the spring heart of the squires and bigwigs all over Guizhou.

Soon, the Central China Heavenly Army arrived in Guiyang, Guiyang City is the provincial capital of Guizhou, and it is also the key defense place of the Yunnan Army, almost more than two-thirds of Guizhou's grain, grass, baggage and elite soldiers were hit in Guiyang City, and the town of Guiyang is the overseer Liu Xianshi, he is a native of Guizhou, although he has the title of overseer, but subject to the deputy envoy of the southwest patrol, Guizhou Military Affairs Supervisor Tang Jiyu, has the name of commander-in-chief, but in addition to the 3,000 guerrilla army, almost all the rest were overtaken by the Yunnanese, except for stamping the seal, The idea of deducting some military salaries and figuring out some good guns has hardly achieved anything except for the situation in which Tang Jiyu turned a blind eye. Of course, Tang Jiyu and others will not let him make any achievements, even those good guns and military salaries, if they get too much, they will never be happy with Liu Xianshi.

In addition to supervising the army in Guiyang City, there is naturally a master in charge of things, Tang Jiyu is the real power figure in Guiyang and even Guizhou, he is Tang Jiyao's brother, and was once regarded as Tang Jiyao's heir, holding all the rights that can be thought of in Guizhou Province, and he is the big boss behind the scenes, don't look at him climbing up along Tang Jiyao's pole, but it is different from the general nepotism of the gentlemen, he still has some talents, especially economically, and has assisted Tang Jiyao to escape death many times and completely turned the tables. Let's talk about the battle to protect the country, Yunnan has soldiers and no money, and there are only 200,000 oceans in the entire southwest to spend, and the average fall on the people's heads, and it is only enough for half a month's military salary. Someone once said that the big tobacco houses all over London have replaced the Indian tobacco soil with cloud soil for more than ten years, earning a lot of glory and silver money for the Chinese people, Tang Jiyu should be a hero! Whether this is flattery or not, it can also be seen in the methods of others.

What is even more interesting is his means of ruling the army, the previous Guizhou army was not a two-gun general in the country to enter the second-rate Amitabha, but since this Tang Jiyu came, the impact on the Guizhou military circles is great, he knows that his ability to lead troops to fight is very general, he is not able to convince the public at all, and he simply does not toss the army, but just let go of the regulations on the punishment of the army for smoking opium. I didn't know that they were worried, but after a month or two months, I found that almost all the troops in Guizhou had become double-gun generals, and the so-called double-gun generals were the meaning of a foreign gun in one hand and a cigarette gun in the other, and this was not counted, almost all the middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers had become supporters of the big boss Tang, who let the big boss of the Tang family have the discipline of a craftsman, and made the clouds and smoke better, and the price was fair, and the officers and soldiers bought 20% off and delivered to the door, the service was considerate, and they could also buy on credit under the banner of Tang Jiyu, which can be called the conscience of the industry. He had a conscience, and the local officers in Guizhou found that they could no longer control the will of this army, and with the division commander, brigade commander and chief of staff airborne in Yunnan, almost all the entire army in Guizhou fell into the hands of Tang Jiyu, which was so clever that Tang Jiyao's army management methods were so clever that he didn't know where.

People with such talents have naturally become the most important family members in Guizhou!

When the news of the arrival of the Central China Heavenly Soldiers in Guiyang, Tang Jiyu immediately summoned the military and political officials in Guiyang City to discuss and brainstorm how to deal with the current crisis.

"Our Yunnan-Guizhou alliance is unparalleled in the world, it is Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui is not a child, the little Huazhongtian is just a lone brigade, what is there to be afraid of, please Deputy Tang Envoy En Chase, let the humble post go out of the city to fight!"

"The lowly position seconded the proposal, the terrain of Guiyang is dangerous, the Miao Mountains are stretched, the Gangfu is undulating, the hills, basins, valleys, and depressions are intertwined, and the people of this province are still not easy to walk, not to mention that Huazhongtian is just an outsider, how much ability does he have to defeat our local elites in this geographical advantage?"

"The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake! Huazhong Tian must rely on it when he comes from afar, the time and place are just like this, and he will naturally find a guide under the heavy reward! It can be seen that the terrain is insufficient, so it is better to stick to it and wait for help, rely on the solid defense of Guiyang City, and wait for the rescue of the marshal, so that the entire army of Huazhongtian will be wiped out here. ”

……

At the meeting, many military and political officials in Yunnan enthusiastically made suggestions, showing sincerity, which made Tang Jiyu very pleased, but those local bigwigs in Guizhou headed by Liu Xianshi were looking tired, and they didn't care about themselves, and they couldn't be blamed, to be honest, this matter had nothing to do with them. The big deal when the Central Army comes is still a clay sculpture paper paste, so they can be supported by their fullness, do you have to worry about salty radishes?

The performance of these people naturally couldn't hide Tang Jiyu's eyes, he smiled slightly, propped his hands on the table, and looked at Liu Xianshi like a cat staring at a fat mouse, and said: "Liu Supervisor, the Southeast and Central China Heavenly Department has invaded my territory, and the soldiers have arrived in Guiyang, I don't know what you think, you can retreat the enemy!" ”

After Liu Xianshi snorted for a while, he said lazily: "Lord Tang is serious, now there are still twenty or thirty thousand elite troops in Guiyang City, and the grain and grass are enough to support about half a year, whether it is fighting or defending, there is no need to be afraid of what is called Huazhongtian!" Saying that, he hit a Hache in a row, and it didn't matter if he beat this Hache, and soon it was infected to those local civil and military forces in Guizhou who were struggling not to let themselves be presumptuous, and suddenly a Hache was continuous, and a good military meeting made these people very unruly, not counting Liu Xianshi actually stood up and said: "Lord Tang, I can't stand it, I'm going back to suck two puffs, if I don't suck again, don't call Hua Zhongtian, my life will be gone." After speaking, he didn't wait for Tang Jiyu to react, so he took the lead to leave, and then those local people in Guizhou also said goodbye, but they didn't have a prominent identity like Liu Xianshi, so they didn't need to ask Tang Jiyu for instructions, so Tang Jiyu saw this, so he had to sigh, waved his hand helplessly, and let these people go.

"Deputy envoy, these people are too presumptuous, they are dogs, and they should be rewarded for their kindness after raising them for so many years!" Brigade Commander Zhang Fahua said with some dissatisfaction.

"That's it, the good food and drink are waiting, and these people are kicking their noses in the face. With such virtue, it is inevitable that you will cause trouble at a critical juncture, please ask the deputy envoy to order the garrison to be strictly guarded! ”

"No, the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army, the same qi and branches! If you do this, not only will people see a joke, but also make those Guizhou guys in the city feel double-hearted? Anyway, these people have been fed, and these people are trapped on our chariot in Yunnan, so they just don't care about them, anyway, they have nothing to do except shake their faces! ”

Tang Jiyu said: "This is reasonable, there is no need to rise up again at this juncture, these Guizhou Yankees are all coming with the marshal, if our Yunnan collapses, they will also have to be unlucky, don't worry about them, the generals still have to put their hearts on the southeast army outside the city, it is a matter of life and death!" As for whether to fight or defend, the envoy felt that he should still focus on defending and wait and see what happened, because the other army came from afar to be unaccustomed to the water and soil, and the miasma overflowed the place, and it would be difficult to last long. If he retreats from the difficulty, it is better, if he is obsessed, let them die under this Guiyang City! ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

The civil and military officers immediately stood up and praised in unison, quite imposing, Tang Jiyu couldn't help but be a little fluttering in it, but he was always vigilant to himself, he must not fall into the flattery of these people, his face covered his eyes, he couldn't see the situation clearly, and he couldn't make a decision! This is the sorrow of the superior, and it is also the sorrow of his now, he no longer has the feelings of hooking shoulders and discussing bad things before, and there are only guns that are arbitrary and submissive!

After the meeting was dismissed, Tang Jiyu asked people to inquire about Liu Xianshi's whereabouts, and learned that he was swallowing clouds and spitting fog in the big smoke hall, smiled slightly, and immediately took two or three cronies Ma Ben and went straight to Liu Xianshi's whereabouts.

Liu Xianshi and others are swallowing clouds and spitting fog, enjoying the feeling of pleasure, it is completely a businesswoman who does not know the hatred of the country, and the other side of the river especially sings the backyard flowers, those Yunnan officers who do not come and go are all disdainful and contemptuous, but these people have no self-knowledge, thinking about it, they are also puppets, it is better to live the life of this puppet more comfortably, and they are worthy of themselves.

"Master, your eye bubbles are gone, let the little one burn it for you again!" A guy who looks like a small guy in a big smoke house said loudly to Liu Xianshi, the words are round but the aftertaste is endless, it should be a good hand!

"Okay, okay, let me see what you can do! Well done, reward! ”

Liu Xianshi said weakly.

The little guy walked away in a hurry, his hands playing with his smoking gun like a snake, obviously an expert, and just before he knew it, he moved his body a little, covered the outside, and said softly: "Overseer, someone just now sneakily stretched out his head to look, but I'm afraid it's not a good bird!"

Liu Xianshi took a puff of fireworks and said lightly: "I didn't find anything, did you?" ”

"The man just looked around, as if he was just making sure that the big boss was not there!" Xiao Wu's face sank when he said this, his voice lowered, and he said: "I'm afraid that person is going to do something to Da Shuai, Da Shuai better be careful!" ”

"I know!" Liu Xianshi snorted, and his hand fell on the shoulder of the little guy, and said: "In this way, time is imminent, I don't know how Hua Dashuai is preparing?" ”

"Marshal Hua's army has arrived in Guiyang and is repairing!"

"When will the handsome arrive at the earliest!"

"If the Overseers are determined, they will be there at sunset."

"I'm just afraid of him... Hey..."

"You can rest assured, the Central Army does not remember the old evils, Wu Peifu has repeatedly raised troops to make it difficult, and the ruling government still entrusts him with the military and political power of the three special regions, he is still like this, let alone my lord?"

"The magnanimity of the government is greatly admired by the Governor, but it is ...... I just don't know how Hua Dashuai will arrange it. ”

"Guizhou is still the jurisdiction of the Lord's Overseer, and the army is still under the command of the Lord, so the Overseer can rest assured!"

"In this way, Hua Dashuai is also enthusiastic, what is there for me Liu Xianshi not to make up my mind? Please come to protect the city and the people as soon as possible. My 3,000 guerrilla army can be ......"

Before Liu Xianshi could say something, the little guy said in a loud voice: "How is it, master, the villain's craftsmanship is good!" ”

There was a situation, Liu Xianshi reacted immediately, and immediately cooperated: "Virtue, that's it!" ”

The little guy only left, turned around and wanted to leave, but was suddenly startled, took three or four steps back, and said loudly: "Little Lord Tang, please be safe, Lord Tang is auspicious!" ”

Liu Xianshi shuddered, looked up, sure enough, it was Tang Jiyu, he immediately got angry and wanted to get up from the smoke, Tang Jiyu hurriedly stretched out his hand and held it, and said: "Brother Liu, just lie down, my brother is also busy sneaking over to take a puff, you are so solemn, it seems that I can't be a man." He said to the little servant: "Go, give the master two bubbles of good cloud smoke, and by the way, tell the counter that I will give the Overseer today's account." ”

"How embarrassing! Vice-Chancellor, you see how inappropriate it is here! Come here, boy. Liu Xianshi called the little servant and said: "Go to the table and let the deputy envoy meet all my accounts for this month, and I can't help but give face to the deputy envoy's kindness." ”

The little guy smiled very embarrassedly, and looked at Tang Jiyu, Tang Jiyu laughed and said, "What is this, just meet together!" Tang Jiyu saw that the little guy was leaving, lay down opposite Liu Xianshi, and said face to face with him: "Brother, seeing that Hua Zhongtian is about to come to the city, our good days of smoking and enjoying ourselves will come to an end, but you can rest assured that as long as this Guiyang City does not fight in the nest, then Hua Zhongtian will have to get out of the house in a few days!" ”

His words were quite powerful, and even those around him heard them, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, maybe this was the effect he wanted.

Liu Xianshi heard the same words, but he heard a different taste, he put down the cigarette gun, let out a long sigh, and said, "Who said it wasn't?" Brother, I followed the commander that is, your brother fought in the south and the north, and formed a blood feud with those people in Beiyang, even if Chang Zhenbang can bypass me, I am afraid that those officers under him will not tolerate me, after all, there is too much blood stained with each other, and it can't be washed clean. Even if I want to regret it, there is no room for it, I can only follow Tang Dashuai to the end. It's heaven, we two families enjoy happiness together, it's hell, we will suffer one by one, anyway, we are grasshoppers on a rope now, we can't walk you, and we can't run away from me. ”

"Brother knows that my brother is a person who understands! Can't be wrong! But what? Then again, my brother is a person who understands, but I'm afraid that some people will be confused! ”

Liu Xianshi said: "Brother, don't worry, these rabbit cubs in Guiyang know it in their hearts, and with me to show you, none of them want to turn the sky upside down!" ”

Tang Jiyu was very satisfied with his answer, and after a while, the little guy brought a cigarette set, and personally lit a cannon for him, and said: "Take a look at this new product, I guarantee that you have tasted the aftertaste, and you will have a little more next time!" ”

"Then I'll try!"

Tang Jiyu said and laughed, put the big smoke in his mouth, swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, in his opinion, with Liu Xianshi here, those people in Guiyang don't matter, but he forgot that in the original battle to protect the country, Tang Jiyao and Liu Xianshi are brothers side by side, but Liu Xianshi controls nearly seventy percent of the army in Guizhou, but now Tang Jiyu is here, and he still calls him a brother and a brother, but he has become a commander of the light pole, and the gap is enough to make people crazy.

Tang Jiyu was not addicted, he blew two bubbles and left, Liu Xianshi beckoned the little guy and said: "This rabbit cub is not easy to clean up, I'm afraid it will ruin our business!" ”

The little servant said, "Don't worry, Lord Overseer! Those two bubbles just now were added! He Tang Jiyu sucked it, and he couldn't get up until tomorrow night. ”

"Good! Then I'll wait to welcome the big man into the city! ”

After receiving the information from the intelligence department in Guiyang City, Hua Zhongtian immediately selected a division of elite cavalry to rush quickly, and the rest of the army marched in a hurry behind, and waited until they reached the city of Guizhou, and after throwing out the answering signal, Liu Xianshi's 3,000 guerrilla army quietly went over and opened the city gate, as soon as the Huazhong army entered Guiyang, part of it took over the city defense of Guiyang, and part of it attacked the camp of the defenders, and the credit for attacking Tang Jiyu's deputy envoy was handed over to Liu Xianshi. Without Tang Jiyu's presiding, Guiyang completely fell after a while.
