Chapter 147: Jiang Baili
Along the way, Wang Hengyue held Jiang Baili's hand tightly and refused to let go, not so much like inviting guests, but more like catching a prisoner, which inevitably made Jiang Baili a little crying and laughing.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Hengyue shouted loudly: "Yun Xin, Yun Xin, here for the distinguished guests, prepare wine and food, good wine and good food, I want to have a good drink with the distinguished guests!" ”
His shouting alarmed everyone, Ma Yunxin and Xing Meizi hurriedly came out, and when they saw Heng Shuai holding a person in his hand, they all felt funny:
"Say, how can you catch the guests like this?"
"Ah, yes." Wang Hengyue realized that he let go of Jiang Baili's hand: "Mr. Baili, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's rude!" ”
"It's rare for the Governor to treat guests like this." Jiang Baili smiled.
"My surname is in a hurry, Mr. Baili must not be surprised, please sit, please sit."
While instructing to prepare wine and food, he invited Jiang Baili to sit down.
Wang Hengyue is curious, why did Jiang Baili enter Sichuan in advance? According to his memory, he will only enter Sichuan when Cai Ye launches the Dharma Protection Movement?
It turned out that after Jiang Baili returned from Yueben, he was invited to the northeast by Zhao Erxun, who was still a general of Shengjing at the time.
At that time, two military leading institutions were set up in Northeast China: one was the Supervision and Training Office, which presided over the training work of the new army, Zhao Erxun concurrently served as the general office, and the actual person in charge was Jiang Fangzhen and Jiang Baili, who presided over the training work in the name of the General Staff; The other is the Military Affairs Office, which presided over the rectification of the old army, and Zhang Xiluan, a veteran who was born in the army, was the general office.
When the old army looked at the new army, everything was not pleasing to the eye, especially for the fledgling Jiang Fangzhen, who was only in his twenties at that time, and openly presided over all training matters of the new army. Of course, the old army knew that if the new army was trained, the old army would be the first to suffer the fate of elimination, so Jiang Fangzhen's army training work had only started for three months, and the generals of the old army recommended Zhang Zuolin to lead the attack on Chiang. Zhang Zuolin is chivalrous and daring, he can rise in the Northeast because he has courage, at this time he led the opposition to the new army, and openly declared that he wanted to find Jiang Fangzhen desperately. Zhao Erxun was in a dilemma, on the one hand, he wanted to protect the cadres of the new army, and on the other hand, he did not want to suppress the old army too much, so he came up with a compromise solution, that is, to send Jiang Fangzhen to Germany for further study, specializing in the army, so as to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the old army.
In 1910, Jiang Fangzhen returned to China again, and was promoted by Liangbi, a classmate of the non-commissioned officer school, and took up the post of the forbidden army, and then transferred to Zhao Erxunmu to re-serve in his former position.
The following year, Jiang Fangzhen was once again ostracized and had to flee from the northeast. Jiang Fangzhen was in a hurry, and the staff on the train opened the toilet for him to use and locked it outside, so he was spared.
Suffering from this change one after another, Jiang Baili couldn't help but be a little disheartened. I originally wanted to go back to my hometown in Zhejiang, but after hearing the news of Rong County's reading power on the way, I was curious, so I turned to Sichuan to see what was going on.
Wang Hengyue was overjoyed when he heard this, this is even God helping Lao Tzu!
Your Jiang Fangzhen's military talent is far superior to mine, Lao Tzu's army will have to rely on your command in the future, since you have arrived in Rong County, Lao Tzu has hollowed out his mind and wants to leave you behind.
Since he is here, Wang Hengyue is not in a hurry, and humbly asks Jiang Fangzhen about the success or failure of the battle of Rongxian, and Jiang Baili is also very patient and explains them one by one.
In fact, the battle of Rongxian has been fought, and Wang Hengyue's real purpose is not to care about this, but to gradually make the other party trust him, or to say that it is ugly to relax his "vigilance".
"I don't know anything, and I want to ask the governor to teach me." Jiang Baili suddenly asked.
"Please, please."
"I heard that from the beginning of Rong County's reading, the governor judged that the situation in Sichuan and even the whole country was bound to be in chaos, and the siege of Rong County would be solved in only two or three months, and then the development was exactly the same as the governor's judgment. Fang Zhen asked, why is the governor so confident? ”
I read it from the book, but can I say that? Wang Hengyue smiled and said: "The so-called road protection movement has actually seriously damaged the interests of various places. The other places may be barely acceptable, but Sichuan's deficit in the railway is too great to make up for it, and Sichuan is the most opposed to protecting the road. Originally, the uprisings in Sichuan had already broken out one after another, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had sent a great opportunity to the revolutionary party! ”
As he spoke, his eyes rolled a few times: "As for why I judged the time so accurately, I actually had a long relationship with the revolutionary party, so I know the time when the revolutionary party is preparing for the uprising in Sichuan, so "
Wang Hengyue made up a call, although it was not very convincing, but it was barely said to be over.
At this time, the wine and food were ready, and Wang Hengyue hurriedly invited Jiang Baili to the table.
Wang Hengyue poured wine for Jiang Baili: "In the past, when Zhao Erxun was the governor of Sichuan, I often heard him talk about you, and always said that Mr. is talented. ”
Jiang Baili drank the wine and smiled slightly: "The Qing army has been defeated and is unable to launch an attack on Rong County again, what is the next step for the governor?" ”
"What does Sir think I will do?" Wang Hengyue asked rhetorically.
"Will the Governor listen to the truth or lie?"
"Tell the truth, of course listen to the truth!"
Jiang Baili smiled slightly: "Originally, the enemy of Rongxian County was defeated, and the governor should send a soldier to assist the comrade army to capture Chengdu, which is the middle policy; Or negotiate peace with the Qing army and keep a place in Rong County, which is the next policy. But the governor made a decision, but he didn't take any of them."
Jiang Baili took a sip of his wine glass: "Zhongce, it's hard to say whether Chengdu can be defeated, even if it is defeated, it is difficult to say how to deal with it in the future, the governor is not willing to be subordinate, and the alliance will not all obey the command of the governor, it is still a mess." The next policy is even more absurd. Once the Qing army pacifies Chengdu and frees up its hands and feet, it will inevitably storm Rong County, and how long can Rong County hold on? Sooner or later, it will break, and it will be too late."
Wang Hengyue nodded frequently, of course Jiang Baili would not know that the Wuchang Uprising was about to break out, and the Manchu Dynasty was about to die. But his analysis is meticulous.
"In this case, the governor adopted the best policy." Jiang Baili continued: "The Qing army took the initiative to retreat, and the governor also took the initiative to retreat, and the two armies drew a buffer zone, each of which had a tacit understanding. And the governor did not have the significance of sending troops to Chengdu, but transferred some troops to strengthen the defense of Leshan, and his intention could not be more obvious. If the people's army wins, the governor is the hero of the revolution, if there is any movement in Sichuan, the governor speaks with full weight'If the Qing army wins, the governor holds Rongxian, Leshan, artesian well, Gongjing four places, Yibin and Jiading can be taken every day, there is a lot of room for turnaround, and the capital to continue to wait for the situation to change with the Qing army will be great! ”
His fingers buckled slightly: "The best strategy adopted by the governor, no matter who wins or loses, the governor is profitable, taking advantage of the melee between the two armies, vigorously developing himself, having a territory, it is much easier to do anything." ”
What he said was not bad at all, Wang Hengyue sighed in his heart: "Sir, I thought that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had arrived, and Chengdu would definitely be able to be taken, but do you think I will go to Chengdu or not?" ”
"The Governor already has an idea in his heart, do you still want to ask me?" Jiang Baili said with a smile: "The people's army wins, even if the eight sedan chairs come to invite the governor, the governor will not go." The intention of the governor is to wait and see what happens, and then the snipe and the clam will compete, and the fisherman will benefit! ”
Wang Hengyue laughed "haha": "Don't hide it, Mr., the position in Chengdu is not easy to sit, whoever sits on it, the bottom of the butt burns badly, maybe you wake up, and suddenly find yourself naked and driven out of Sichuan!" ”
Jiang Baili couldn't help laughing: "The governor is quick to talk and doesn't hide it at all, Fang Zhen admires!" ”
Wang Hengyue suddenly put away his smile and sighed: "Sir, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely be finished, but the Manchu Dynasty is finished, it does not mean that China will be peaceful." Big warlords and small warlords will appear, you fight me, I fight you, China is still at war, Hengyue is most worried about this. ”
"Oh, it's rare for you to think that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has collapsed, and the revolutionary party can't unify the world?" Jiang Baili was a little curious.
"You also call it revolution, and I call it revolution, but how many people are really revolutionary?" Wang Hengyue sneered: "Sun Wen has also struggled for many years, but he has no one, no guns, no money, those powerful factions are flattering on the surface, but who will listen to you secretly?" In the future, it will be nothing more than whose fists are hard, and whoever speaks will have enough weight. ”
Jiang Baili stared at him and asked, "What about the governor?" The governor is the hero of the first righteousness, so the weight of his words should be enough, right? ”
"The first hero? It's just good. Wang Hengyue shook his head: "If you really want to end the civil strife, you can't do it without elite soldiers in your hands, you can't do it without artillery, Mr. is talented, so Hengyue wants to ask Mr. to stay and help Hengyue!" ”
As he spoke, he stood up and gave Jiang Baili a deep squeeze.
In fact, from the very beginning, Jiang Baili had already guessed that Wang Hengyue was going around for nothing more than this purpose!
He also has a pretty good feeling for Wang Hengyue, although this person likes to think about it, but in front of him, he is frank and open, and he doesn't hide anything at all.
I studied abroad in Ben and Germany, in order to be able to take revenge in my chest one day, but the two encounters in the Northeast broke my heart.
originally wanted to go back to Zhejiang, but he came to Sichuan by mistake, and met Wang Hengyue by mistake, which may also be providence!
At present, Wang Hengyue is very respectful to himself, although the power is not strong, but several places have been developed by Wang Hengyue, and the army can be regarded as an elite division, so it is not impossible to really stay here.
After figuring out this layer, he stood up and said, "Since the Governor is so important to Fang Zhen, Fang Zhen will stay by the Governor's side to do his best!" ”
"It's not a small force, it's a big force!" Seeing Jiang Baili respond, Wang Hengyue was overjoyed: "Brother Fang Zhen, I appoint you as the chief of staff of the Chinese Revolutionary Comrade Army!" ”
