1908 Far East Madman Chapter 231 Luxu Friction (Summoning Monthly Pass)

Tens of thousands of Qing troops in the south declared Yi. Most of the districts of Sichuan have fallen into the hands of the republicans.

After the recovery of Sichuan. The land link between Shaanxi and Yunnan was immediately severed. The telegraph line connecting the southwest and northwest was also cut off. The recalcitrant royalist alliance formed by the remnants of the Manchu Qing dynasty was cut in half by the Republican army from the middle. Since then. Shaanxi's Shengyun and Yun's Xiliang can only fight separately. The stalemate between the southwest and the northwest was quickly broken. The practical actions of the Second Army consolidated the foundation of the revolution. The prestige of the army commander Zhao Zhenhua is even more like rì Zhongtian.

With the recovery of Sichuan. The chaos that followed the outbreak of the war is coming to an end. Several powerful factions who support the republican system are sweeping away the Manchu diehards:

Northwest Front. Endeavor will fight for Chengdu after the defeat. Immediately withdraw all jīng rui from northern Sichuan. Attack through southern Shaanxi to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. and the Beiyang Army from Tongguan in northern Shaanxi formed a north-south flank attack. In a very short period of time, the fighting spirit of the Qing army in Shaanxi was completely disintegrated. The stubborn governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Shengyun, had to give up the province in the embarrassment of losing the battle and killing the city of Xi'an. Led the army to flee to Ningxia. Tried to join forces with the Ningxia general Taibu. And the connection with the Mongol princes. But halfway through. The elders would encourage the Qing army to mutiny. Mutiny: Kill Seung-yoon. Return to Xi'an to gather and attack the city. Kill the governor of Shaanxi, Enshou, and the Xi'an general Wen Rui. After the city was breached, it was burned and slaughtered. Half of Xi'an burst into flames. In the midst of this fire. The Qing army in Shaanxi announced the change of banner. It was named "Qin Longfu Han Army". Zhang Feng, a non-commissioned officer who sneaked back to Shaanxi, was elected as the governor of Shaanxi. After a few years, Endeavor will arrive at the city in arms. The two armies met and the Beiyang Army also rushed to Xi'an. The three armies combined. Then he swore to set off. Northern expedition to Ningxia. Ningxia General Taibu saw that the construction was strong. The meat is out and down. Return to Shun Republic and zhèngfǔ. Shaanxi and Gansu were thus recovered.

In the southwest, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Xiliang are cramped. There are no reinforcements outside. There are no unscrupulous generals in it. Relying on a group of bandits who came over, Green Forest barely supported the battle. Confronted the Third Army of the Jian** led by the Restoration Society of the Alliance in Guangxi. The stalemate lasted for a month. Until Sichuan was recovered. This stalemate was broken. Unable to find satisfactory financial resources in Sichuan, the Communist Party forces entrenched in southern Sichuan had no choice but to turn their attention to the south. Began to transfer part of the troops to Guizhou. Attack Yunnan from southwest Guizhou. Quickly take down Zhaotong Xuanwei. Meanwhile. After the weapons and ammunition of the Republican Army support. The Confederacy and the Liberation Society began a counteroffensive. With the armed forces of the Communist Association coming from Guizhou, they steadily advanced to the southeast of Guangxi. When the Cantonese army also joined the battle, Xiliang's defeat was inevitable. The first is Guilin anyway. Under the deterrence of the revolutionary army, Wang Zhixiang, the Guangxi envoy, announced the change of banner in Guilin. It starts with Lord Wang. Fang officials in Guangxi revolted one after another. The rule of the Manchu diehards in Guangxi collapsed. Lu Rongting, the acting governor of Guangxi appointed by Xiliang, saw that the situation was not good. Do not wait for the constitution to retreat on their own. Led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Yunnan.

Xiliang hurriedly dispatched his generals, but before he could appoint the main commander of the front line, he redeployed the defenses, and the French took action. Under the pretext of protecting the Vietnamese Railway, the French Indochinese colonial authorities dispatched thousands of colonial troops from Vietnam to the western border of Yunnan. Wu took over Zhennan Guan Cannon. and occupy Wenshan, the mouth of the South Gate. An envoy was then sent to Kunming. "Advise" Xiliang to retire automatically. Otherwise. France will take "necessary action". Threatened by this. Xiliang had no choice but to hand over the customs defense. Shen Bing, the political envoy of Yunnan, is in charge of government affairs. Xiliang took his family and cronies to the Sino-Vietnamese border. Escorted by French soldiers to Haiphong, Vietnam. Take a boat north to Shanghai. In the French Concession, he and the former Qing court, Jiangsu, the political envoy Rui, jointly issued a telegram. Depoliticization was announced. No longer seek the restoration of the Manchu Dynasty...... Announced in Kunming. Obedience to the republic zhèngfǔ. The five-sè flag fluttered at the head of the city of Kunming. So far. Yunnan and Guangxi were all recovered.

This was the end of the main battle of the Founding War. Once again, the focus of attention shifted back to the republican zhèngfǔ's Constituent Assembly. 1. The Constitution was established. The national system can be regarded as truly established.

It is against this backdrop. The "Sichuan Sui Conference" was also officially closed. So that the members of the Sichuan Provincial Assembly rushed to the provisional provincial assembly of Chóngqìng to attend the plenary session. Consideration of the draft Constitution.

As the de facto head of government in Sichuan. Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the communist army, not only attended the closing ceremony of the Sichuan Pacification Conference. He also personally presided over the ceremony of the councillors at the Jinjiang Wharf.

With a long steam. The two small ships carried the parliamentarians as they drifted away. The people on the pier still refused to leave. Because the commander-in-chief is still by the long pavilion built of green bamboo. Watch the two little steamers go away.

"Commander. They went far. It's time for us to go, too. Ju Zheng and Deng Gang: They are still waiting for the commander to speak. ”

The captain of the guard, Tian Jinfu, walked to the north side. Whisper a few words. Pointed to the side.

Zhao Bei reined in his thoughts. Turn your head to look. Seeing Juzheng, Deng Gang was also looking to the side. So he walked over. and motioned for some of the staff of the army to leave first. Only one squad of senior staff officers remained.

"Commander-in-Chief. Now the fourth has been recovered. It's time for both of us to leave. ”

I saw the commander-in-chief coming. Juzheng Deng Gang hurriedly took a few steps. The commander-in-chief said goodbye.

"Now Shaanxi, Gansu and Yun Guiran have announced the change of banner. But the revolutionary foundations are fragile. It's best for you to get back to presiding over the work. I will not force you to keep you. If there is any difficulty in the future. Tell me straight. They are all revolutionary comrades. It is also appropriate to support each other. Unity should not be compromised by differences in political views. ”

Zhao Bei's first few words are just clichés. Not really. But the next few sentences made Ju Zheng a little embarrassed.

"Now southern Sichuan has been fully recovered. The various armies were also established. The southern Sichuan town guard sent a telegram. said that the troops of the Communist Party would not withdraw from the state capital. He was unable to establish a town guard in the state. So you want to ask me to mediate. I ask your ministry to withdraw its troops from the state capital as soon as possible. ”

In a dilemma. Ju Zheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "At present, the bandit situation is serious.

The party will not be divided. Our army is stationed in Dang. It's also for Jing."

In fact, the forces of the Communist Association not only occupy the southern and eastern part of the state capital, but also occupy most of the district of the Xuyong Hall. A small half of the three mansions and one hall under Tian Zhenbang's jurisdiction are actually controlled by the Communist Association. For this. Tian Zhen Shou was quite annoyed. But the strength is limited. And it can't be hard-hitting. Therefore, pressure can only be put on the CCP through the commander-in-chief.

However, Tian Zhenbang's military party background is very deep. The habits of the rivers and lakes are also heavy, and Tian Zhenbang himself doesn't want to be tough. It doesn't mean that his subordinates are willing to be the shrunken turtle. As a matter of fact. Just after Zhao Bei left South Sichuan. Within a few days, there were several skirmishes between Tabe and the communist revolutionary coalition forces. This "Syrian friction" seems to have a tendency to escalate.

Originally, Zhao Bei didn't plan to meddle in this matter. However, considering that the district in the southern part of Chóngqìng Province was also garrisoned by a small number of Communists troops. He must have taken the opportunity to make a deal with the Communists.

"I also know that Tian Zhenbang's troops are only 7,000 people. I really can't take care of it. It's understandable that you're helping to play a dough. But. The province of Chóngqìng is under the jurisdiction of the Republican Army. The banditry there is now under effective control. It seems like your ministry can retreat? Moreover, your association now intends to go south to Yunnan and Guangxi. Nearly 10,000 troops were stationed in southern Sichuan. It's better to have nothing to do than to transfer them to the south. ”

Ju is a smart man. Ke understood what Zhao Bei meant, so he said: "Please rest assured, commander-in-chief." Our troops stationed in Chóngqìng will soon be transferred back to Guizhou. As for the troops in the state capital, they can also be transferred. However, the troops of the state capital Xuyong Department may not be able to retreat for the time being. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to control the banditry. ”

"That's right. Best. No. Send someone with you. Discuss and discuss with Tian Zhen's envoy. After all, he is the envoy of Sichuan Town. ”

Zhao Bei nodded, and his head did not dwell on this matter. In his opinion, the Communist Party and Tian Zhenbang have been in constant friction on the issue of southern Sichuan. That's the only way. in order to restrain the attention of both sides. It is more convenient for the commander-in-chief to be a fisherman. In order to. It is necessary to preserve the small tail of this state capital, Xuyong Hall. Even when necessary, the commander-in-chief will use this little tail to make small movements.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief did not mean to stand up for Tian Zhenbang, he was relieved. In fact, he himself meant to withdraw all the troops of the Communist Association from southern Sichuan. There's not much oil or water here anyway. However, Sun Wu, the leader of the Communist Advancement Association, insisted on keeping a garrison in southern Sichuan. It is said that this was the idea of the Alliance. Ju Zheng didn't understand this. But after all, it's a subordinate. Just do what your boss orders.

"Say this Tian Zhenbang. The formal appointment of the "South Sichuan Town Guard" has not yet come down. The name is not right. But I don't know what the center is thinking. ”

Deng Gang spoke with a posture of pointing at the east and fighting the west. On the surface, it is Tian Zhenbang. But Zhao Bei sounded like he was talking about the commander-in-chief.

Not to mention Tian Zhenbang's "Sichuan Town Guard". The appointment of the "four governors" who were the commander-in-chief was also not announced. What's the idea of the center? What else could be an idea? Yuan Shikai couldn't swallow this breath.

Zhao Bei smiled faintly. said: "The center has been busy lately. It is the "Qizhou tragedy" again. It is also the "Chuanhan Road Loan Deficit Case". These things are tricky. It's understandable that you can't take care of it for a while. But then again. Tian Zhenbang chóngqìng lifts righteousness. He made great contributions to the cause of the republic. How can merit not be rewarded? The center of this truth must be understood. ”

The meaning of this is very clear. Tian Zhenbang made great contributions to the republic. The commander-in-chief made immortal contributions to the republic. There is no "support" of the commander-in-chief. How could he, Yuan Shikai and Yuan Xiangcheng, sit in the position of the president of the Republic of China? Meritorious service is not rewarded. Doesn't it hurt the hearts of the heroes of the world? How can he, Yuan Shikai, win the trust of the world? Relying only on the Beiyang Army will not be able to stabilize the country

Deng Gang touched a nail that was not soft. I also closed it with interest|. After saying goodbye to the commander-in-chief. And they got on their horses. Under the escort of the guards, they rushed to the north and south of Sichuan respectively.

"Commander. This nation-building war. The Communists and Endeavor have taken a big advantage. The Communal Association is about to go south. Yunnan and Guangxi are in their pockets. Endeavour isn't bad. Take Shaanxi and Gansu. To the north is the Mongolian steppe. To the east is Shanxi. It's much stronger than the plate in Henan. ”

Captain Tian Jinfu did not miss the opportunity to remind. However, his indiscriminate staff officer is obviously not as far-reaching as the commander-in-chief thinks.

"They're also called taking advantage? Shaanxi and Gansu now have not only a revolutionary army. There are also thousands of men and horses of the Beiyang Army. Plus those Qing troops who came over anyway. and the Gan Army, which rose in the military circles during the Tongzhi period. That Shaanxi and Gansu is a chūn autumn warring states. Endeavor wants to monopolize Shaanxi and Gansu. That's a lot of difficulty. As for Mongolia. Hum. Now Russia is staring at it. With the strength of the Endeavor Club now. It is simply impossible to march to the ancient steppe. As for the Communist, on the surface, it seems that they are marching smoothly. And they're close to the League. The two sides work hand in hand. It seems that it can easily swallow Yunnan and Guangxi. Don't forget, though. It was considered by the French as their sphere of influence a few years ago. The British also had a strong influence there. Now Britain and France are fully supporting Yuan Shikai. Tell me about it. Will they allow the Gongjin Society to swallow Yunnan and Guangxi? "Tian Jinfu is like an empowerment. I woke up. However, it did not show any luck. Just a few sighs. "In the end." It's that China is too far behind. The power of the great powers is too strong. Divide our China into pieces. I really think we're fat. ”

"If China is that piece of meat. Then we revolutionary soldiers are the bones in the fat. Tough cookie! We're here. At least this fat will not be eaten by the great powers. ・… Tian Jinfu. You've got this nonsense. Don't have time to prepare horses? The commander also rushed to meet with those iron and steel chemical experts. Delayed the commander's major event. You go to the chemical plant and look at the gates. ”
