Chapter 552 Xikang (II)

Xikang, which was a province established by the republican government. Take the Yazhou Mansion in western Sichuan, Maogong Hall, Zagu Hall, Songpan Hall, plus the merger of a part of the former Tibetan region, this is Xikang Province, the provincial wall is located in the arrow furnace, and later renamed "Kangding", and the acquisition is the meaning of "Xikang Anding".

The establishment of Xikang Province was entirely out of political necessity, one was to escort Sichuan's industrial construction, and the other was to cut off the ambitions of some local influencers, Xikang was like a sharp knife, to the north could refer to Qinghai and Gansu, and to the west, which had already reached the throat of the serf owners in Tibetan areas.

Although Xikang was a province established by the republican government, it actually had the idea of establishing Xikang as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty.

In view of the fact that Britain and Russia both coveted the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Qing court considered the establishment of Xikang Province at the beginning of the implementation of the "New Deal", but there was a premise for this, that is, to completely 'sweep' the local Tusi forces. Therefore, the local Tusi gave him a nickname of "Zhao Tu", but before Zhao Tu drove the Tusi to extermination, the Qing court fell in the cannon sound of the ** army, so the Tusi and the leaders of western Sichuan and eastern Tibet finally breathed a sigh of relief, but this breath did not last long, and the necks of the Tusi and the leaders were choked again, this person is called Fu Huafeng, he was not sent by the Qing court, and his backer was the commander-in-chief of Zhao Beizhao, who was known as "Xiao Zhao Tu".

The Manchu Qing court, which was regarded as a fierce god by the Xikang Tusi, was overthrown by this "Xiao Zhao Tu", with his support, then Fu Hua and the governor of Fu Fu naturally would not be polite to the Tusi and the leaders...... The various foreign guns that the toasts had never heard of before opened their eyes, so the stubborn toasts did not end well, their villages were reduced to ashes one after another, and those earthen temples also suffered the same fate, as for those tame toasts and monks, they also had to give up the medieval way of life, and began to force themselves to adapt to this new era of "changing the land and returning to the stream", and Fu Hua was named the governor of Fu because of this.

Of course, not all the toasts and leaders are willing to bow to Fu Tu, they can't beat it, but they can run it. So, a swarm of bees ran to the west, ran to La, Sa and cried to those high and upper-class nobles about their misery, so soon Fu Tu's soldiers chased and killed, a devastating attack, without much trouble, Xikang Tusi and the Lhasa nobles fled to Bhutan again, crying to the British colonial authorities who ruled India about their misery, so the British were angry, and they formally proposed it through the minister in China. negotiations, wanted to negotiate with the president of the Republic of China to resolve this dispute on the roof of the world, but to everyone's surprise, the president with the title of "Far East madman" rejected the "suggestion" of the British government without thinking about it, so Tusi and the nobles could only continue to stay in Bhutan to 'wander', and Fu Tu's official hat was also kept.

Fu Huafeng not only kept his official hat of "Governor of Xikang", but even further won the favor of the center. Now, as the governor of Xikang, he concurrently holds the post of plenipotentiary commissar stationed in Tibet, and has full authority to handle all military and civilian affairs on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau; if someone asks which of the current feudal officials has the largest territory, then it is undoubtedly Fu Huafeng, Xikang, Qinghai, and Tibet, the territory of these three provinces combined, that area is quite amazing, and even the local troops in Yunnan must assist Fu Huafeng, and now some newspapers have called him "the king of the southwest."

Of course, Fu Huafeng is a smart person, he knows very well what the current status depends on, without the full support of the center, especially Mr. President, he Fu will not have today's status, if he wants to maintain the status of "King of the Southwest", he must closely follow the footsteps of the center, and figure out the thoughts of Mr. President.

Obviously, the president is definitely not a soft-hearted person, especially for those toasts, the president even blatantly used the words "kill them all" in the telegram to Fu Huafeng, understand this, and understand why Fu Huafeng became "Fu Tu", in the final analysis, this courage to wield a big knife was given by the president, with the support of the president, what else does he Fu have to worry about?

On the other hand, although Fu Huafeng acted decisively and thunderously, he was not a reckless man who could only use force. High pressure and Huairou, both means are effective means to clean up people's hearts, as long as they are willing to bow their heads, the toasts can also enjoy courtesy, and they can even learn Chinese characters in free public primary schools, of course, if they really have no talent for learning, Fu Huafeng will not force them, but the descendants of the toasts must receive orthodox education, Zhao Erfeng, the minister of the Sichuan side of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, did this, and culturally eliminated the soil for the survival of the Tusi.

Now, Fu Huafeng is in such a public primary school, inspecting the school's teaching situation, and personally calling names, to see which of the former Tusi's sons and daughters dropped out of school halfway, if they dare to drop out, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and the righteous teacher will soon be killed in the 'door'.

Fu Huafeng was very satisfied with the inspection situation, not a single descendant of Tusi dropped out of school, and most of them had even learned to recite Tang and Song poems in Chinese, and it turned out that education was indeed the best means to change the 'door' ignorance, and it was also the fundamental means to safeguard the interests of the country.

Coming out of elementary school. Fu Huafeng returned to the provincial government on foot with a large number of attachés, and now although he is also in charge of Qinghai-Tibet affairs, he really can't adapt to the local climate, so the current Xikang provincial capital Kangding is actually the political center of the entire southwest, Fu Huafeng sits here, remote control command of the affairs of the three provinces, which requires smooth communication, but because there is only one radio station in Xikang Province, it may not be enough to deal with the future political situation, therefore. A month ago, Fu Huafeng had formally applied to the center to purchase a few more radio stations, and the center agreed, and now, the expedition team that sent the radio stations was not far from Kangding City, and soon, radio stations could be installed in all important areas of Xikang.

It is said that it is a provincial government, but in fact, it is a few stone-built wood-roofed houses, and there is no glass on the windows, but they are pasted with paper, and as for the glass that was finally transported from Sichuan last time, they are all taken and installed on the windows of primary schools, so the office area of this provincial government fǔ looks tattered and shabby, and even the reporters who came to interview were in tears.

However, Governor Fu's approach was greatly appreciated by the president and the Congress, and Li Yuanhong, the president of the National Assembly, even wrote a plaque and sent it to the Xikang Provincial Government for thousands of miles, with the four words "筚路蓝缕" on the plaque, which made Fu Huafeng even more emotional, so he issued an order on this, stipulating that in the future, if the building of the local primary school is not as good as the political building, the local competent official will be immediately dismissed from his post on the spot, and with an order, many political officials will simply move the office of the political school to the primary school to show "sharing the suffering with the people." ”。

In a huge China, the most shabby and shabby building of the current government is probably the provincial government of Kangding City.

However, Fu Huafeng is willing to do this, he is not afraid that some people will say that he is "pretentious" and "hypocritical", as long as the center is satisfied, he can rest assured, anyway, this is used for office, not for his own residence, as long as the house is solid, as for the place to live, it really can't be settled, and now Governor Fu still lives in the barracks with his family. This is safety, and second, the barracks are willing to work hard after all, although there are no glass windows, but at least the roof does not leak.

After returning to the provincial government, Fu Huafeng just sat down, picked up an official document and glanced at it twice, and the figure at the 'door' flickered, and Wang Songting ran in.

Wang Songting was originally the leader of the robe brother in the Dadu River area, **, after that, he has been following Xiong Kewu and others in Sichuan**, and the relationship with Zhao Bei is also very close, and later the republic was established, Wang Songting followed Xiong Kewu to Shaanxi, and in the Shaanxi military and political fǔ to carry the work of the Endeavor Society, although Wang Songting also became a member of the Provincial Assembly, but after all, he was not regarded as his own person by the Endeavor Society, not to mention the exclusion, and the water and soil were also not satisfied, and finally he had to go to the relationship, asked Zhao Bei for an errand, resigned from the post of Shaanxi parliamentarian, and returned to Sichuan, Then he went to Xikang to assist Fu Huafeng in the construction of Xikang.

Because it is the background of the Hui Party, Fu Huafeng asked Wang Songting to be the senior senator of the Xikang Provincial Government, and the special 'door' is responsible for rectifying the Hui Party and transforming the Party into a non-governmental organization that can be used.

As soon as he entered the 'door', Wang Songting shouted a few words to Fu Huafeng with a big grin.

"Old man, look, who did I bring here?"

Fu Huafeng looked up and saw that Wang Songting was followed by a person, who was also familiar, it was Zhang Licheng, the commander of the 129th Division of the National Defense Army.

Zhang Licheng used to be the brigade commander of the second division of the Republican Army, after the second division retreated from Sichuan, he did not withdraw together, but continued to lead his troops to garrison western Sichuan, escorting Xikang Province, later, the United Front entered the center, Zhao Bei also took a step forward to become the president of the Republic of China, so the cronies below also followed the promotion, Zhang Licheng was also promoted to the division commander, and expanded the troops based on his old troops, now, in Xikang, Fu Huafeng is the number one person, then Zhang Licheng is the number two person, Without Zhang Licheng's assistance, this 'chaos' situation in the southwest would not have been ended by Fu Huafeng so soon.
