Chapter 169: Yang Du's Scheme

"Brother Yun Ji, if you have the heart to fight the border, it would be great, but the cold land of Tibetan Province is very difficult, and the upper-class nobles are also murderous, and the British are instigated by it, the situation is not safe!"

Yu Peilun smiled and shook his head: "I'm a person who has died once, what are you afraid of, I really can't see the filth of the Central Plains, this little brother's name is Luo Ying, he is Song Jiaoren's guard, he is from the overseas Hongmen, Duchu asked him to come to Sichuan with me to join you, you can arrange a position!" “

Song Jiaoren's guard! Qiao Yu looked at this young man carefully, and saw that he was sturdy, his eyes were bright, and his finger joints were relatively thick, and he did seem to be a good hand, but Qiao Yu's mind was not on the young man in front of him.

"Brother Yun Ji, is Song Yuchu going to be a lonely?" Yu Peilun only thought that Song Jiaoren wanted to get a background for his guards and didn't think so much, but when he heard Qiao Yu ask, he was stunned.

"Shunqing, what do you mean by that?"

"Alas, in fact, Tao Chengzhang's road to constitutionalism became more and more slim as soon as he died, but the dull brother still insisted on the ideals in his heart, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed, and he would even have to follow in the footsteps of Tao Chengzhang!" Qiao Yu sighed: "If the north and the south today, including the great powers, are unwilling to really see China prosper, and frequently play behind the scenes, I fancy Mr. Song's talent, if I can come to Sichuan, I am afraid that this Shu will be able to usher in a great development!" ”

Yu Peilun also knew the meaning of Tuogu in his heart, Song Jiaoren also saw the difficulty of realizing the constitution, Tao Chengzhang was already in front of the corpse, if he still persisted, he was afraid that he would also spill blood in the yellow sand, Luo Ying was originally entrusted to Song Jiaoren by overseas Chinese, although he was nominally a guard, but his identity was not simple, so he sent his guards to Sichuan, Song Jiaoren was going to sacrifice his life!

Luo Ying, who had not spoken out on the side, was also moved in his heart at this time, it turned out that Song Jiaoren sent him to Sichuan with such considerations, but he must put loyalty first, and he must not forget Song Jiaoren's kindness.

"It's a shame that I can't help much!" Yu Peilun sighed and looked at Qiao Yu.

"You don't have to look at me, I can't help myself, but don't worry, I will try my best to arrange people to protect Song Yuchu!" Qiao Yu turned his head: "Luo Ying, since you have learned kung fu, I will let you go to the special combat team for a period of training, work hard, and strive to become an excellent fighter!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will train hard, but there is one more thing to ask my lord, Mr. Song treats me like a mountain, I hope you can allow me to protect Mr. Song in the future!"

Qiao Yu gave Yu Peilun the identity of a Sichuan-Tibetan folk affairs commissioner, and entered the Tibetan area in a very low-key manner, his main mission was to investigate the situation of serfdom, grasp first-hand information, and when the time was ripe, remove this cancer in one fell swoop, and send Luo Ying to the special combat team, and hand it over to Wu Fenglou for personal training.

After arranging these, Qiao Yu was ready to go to southern Sichuan to inspect the flood control situation, the road is blue, it is difficult to start a business, it is easy to fight the country, it is difficult to defend the country, it is even more difficult to develop this territory, there is also Yuan Shikai with the same feeling, he has already received Qiao Yu's telegram at this time, Sichuan sent 1.8 million taels of silver to the central government, although there is still some difference, but this money came too timely.

The Tao case made a mess in the south, although Song Jiaoren handled it impartially, and the suspicion on Lao Yuan was washed away a lot, but Yuan Shikai still had to bear considerable criticism, the governors of the south were becoming more and more detached, and the provinces had withheld taxes, and they did not pay to remote provinces like Yungui at all, and now Qiao Yu sent the taxes up, and the benefits for Lao Yuan were many.

The most direct thing is that the silver can be more abundant, and other provinces will also send the silver as soon as possible under the influence of Sichuan, in addition, Qiao Yu himself contributed to the cooperation with the Restoration Society, and the United Party was able to establish Sichuan It is also a great effort, in other words, Qiao Yu and Tao Chengzhang are allies, at this time, Qiao Yu paid the money, there is no doubt that he is supporting Lao Yuan, and he has washed away the slander against Lao Yuan in disguise, which is not a big favor.

Lao Yuan is not a fool, why do people give you such a big benefit, naturally there is a plan, Lao Yuan picked up the telegram draft again, took a closer look, and at the end Qiao Yu said that Chen Eun is conscientious and should be rewarded!

What is the meaning of being rewarded, Lao Yuan immediately understood, this is Qiao Yu asked him to transfer Chen Eun away, Lao Yuan's heart is also thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with sending Chen Eun into Sichuan, but he still underestimated Qiao Yu's power, he is already monolithic in Sichuan, Chen Eun can't open the situation at all, but to transfer Chen Eun back, if he wants to send people again, it will be difficult, Sichuan has completely become Qiao Yu's territory, as if it is the kingdom of reading. , this is not something that Lao Yuan can tolerate.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Yuan found Yang Du again, after all, Yang Du had been to Sichuan, and he still knew Qiao Yu well, so he might be able to provide him with some good advice.

"Huizi, how do you think this Sichuan matter should be handled?"

Yang Du pondered for a while: "President, Sichuan is the country of abundance, extremely rich, plus Qiao Yu works hard, I am afraid that in a few years it will be able to become a force that can compete with the central government, and I have to guard against it, but the main energy at the moment should still be in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Beiyang Army must enter Nanjing, and hold this territory in our hands, such as today is like the original Three Kingdoms era, Qiao Yu occupies Sichuan, comparable to Liu Bei, the revolutionary party occupies Jiangnan comparable to Sun Quan, and the president is in the north, which is the well-deserved Cao Wei, and now the revolutionary party is divided, It is an excellent time for the president to occupy Jiangnan, as long as he can have the power of Wu and Wei, is he still afraid of a mere Uncle Liu? ”

Yuan Shikai couldn't stop thinking about it in his heart, what Yang Du said was very reasonable, the most terrible thing now is that Sichuan and the revolutionary party forces have united together to deal with themselves, but fortunately, there are many contradictions between them, and they can't form a Wushu alliance at all, thinking of this, Old Yuan has a thought in his heart.

"Huizi, I am going to transfer Chen Eun as the governor of Shanghai and replace Chen Qimei!"

Yang Du nodded again and again: "Chen Qimei is Sun Wen's most relied on figure, this person is arrogant, bold, and has a deep connection with the Qing Gang, and has a great influence, if he can be taken down, Sun Wen's arm can be broken, and he is also involved in the Tao case, just bring him to justice, everything is justified, I think this arrangement is very appropriate!" ”

Yuan Shikai gradually had a plan, but Yang Du seemed to have something to say.

"Is there anything else going on with the skin?"

"President, now that the central government is in financial difficulties, relying on borrowing alone is not a solution, I think the president should quickly reform politics and increase revenue, otherwise it will be a problem to even maintain the operation of the political axe, let alone cut the feudal domain!"

Old Yuan sighed, "What Huizi said is not what I think in my heart, it's just that the world is chaotic and constrained in many ways, it's like a mess, and I can't start at all!" ”

"President, since ancient times, reform is to have great courage and perseverance, I think the breakthrough may as well be chosen in the salt policy, now the Sichuan salt policy has been successfully reformed, the salt price has been reduced, and the salt tax has increased, it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, once successful, it can also greatly enhance the prestige of the president!" Speaking of this, Yang Du peeked at Lao Yuan again, and saw that he was listening very seriously, Yang Du continued: "President, prestige and reputation are very important, such as this Tao case, people with a discerning eye know that it was not done by the president, but there are still many people who are willing to believe that it was the president who did it, and the reason for this is to ask the president to think twice!" ”
