Chapter 68: The Thief
Lao Xu is very aware of the situation in the Manchu court, and now these Eight Banners nobles are still a little unwilling to hand over power, only when they are beaten, so Lao Yuan has not yet come out of the mountain, Liu Xuande was a three-way thatched house, not to mention how did you force Yuan Shikai out of Yanjing City back then, and now if you don't ask Lao Yuan, can Lao Yuan easily go out of the mountain?
Therefore, Lao Xu pushed Yin Chang out, and Zaifeng agreed with this proposal in his heart, if Yin Chang could calm down the chaotic party, why bother to use Yuan Shikai again!
"Well, Associate Xu's idea is very good, so let's do it!"
Zaifeng immediately agreed, but the heart of the Minister of War Yin Chang was full of bitter water, although he became the Minister of War, but where did he know what military strategy, besides, Yin Chang and Yuan Shikai are double in-laws, naturally know Lao Yuan's ability, those Beiyang proud soldiers can be commanded by him, but things have reached this point can only take one step at a time, so he is depressed.
Just before the Yinchang army left Yanjing City, suddenly the bad news came again, Qiao Yu, the leader of the Yucheng Mixed Association, and Bai Kuan, the president of the Yucheng Chamber of Commerce, led all walks of life in Yucheng to announce that they had become the military and political axe of Sichuan, Qiao Yu served as the acting governor, and Bai Kuan served as the temporary speaker of the parliament.
Immediately after the Wuchang Shouyi, the news of [***] was like a heavy fist smashed on the Manchu court, Yucheng's reading power is different from Wuhan, and it needs to go through bloody battles, but it is ripe, there is no conflict, just to expel Niu Chuanshan and a Qing court bureaucrat, and at this time Wuhan has not officially established a military and political axe, and the Sichuan military and political axe team has been set up.
Qiao Yu, who knows the process of Xinhai, also knows the tragic experience of Sichuan during the Republic of China, it can be said that Sichuan is the hardest hit area of the warlord melee, the people are miserable, and the tax has been levied in advance to the 100th year of the Republic of China, and the reason why Sichuan is divided is actually to blame the period of the Xinhai Revolution.
Sichuan suffered both the early loss of the revolution and the late revolution, saying that the early loss of the revolution was because Sichuan broke out in the Baolu Movement uprising, and the attention of the Qing court was attracted to itself, and various forces gathered in Sichuan, making the situation in Sichuan very complicated, and it was precisely because of this complicated situation that Sichuan failed to be quickly unified after the Wuchang Shouyi, but there were two military and political axes, and at the same time, the Yunnan army also took the opportunity to enter Sichuan, which made Sichuan fall apart for a long time, which was another loss of the late revolution.
It is this situation that makes Sichuan the largest province in the northwest into a battlefield between the Beiyang warlords and the southwest warlords, starting from the second revolution, all the major wars, Sichuan is the main battlefield, in the process of back and forth, suffered great damage, of course, the local strength of Sichuan has also begun to rise, but has lost the opportunity, can not really unify Sichuan.
Since Qiao Yu was familiar with this situation, he naturally wanted to avoid this tragedy, so after the success of the Wuchang Shouyi, he immediately announced the reading power, expelled Niu Chuanshan and the bureaucrats in various places, and at the same time established the Sichuan military and political axe, when the Baolu Movement broke out, there were many people in Yucheng who opposed the rule of the Qing court.
Now that the banner has changed, naturally there are many people who support it, and of course there are many conservative factions who stand up against it, but it is no longer possible to change the overall situation, and there is not much turmoil in Yucheng, and order is quickly restored.
The new political axe has been announced, and officials at all levels have not been fully implemented, at this time, Qiao Yu and his cronies gathered in the former Daotai Yamen to discuss the composition of the political axe, in fact, when the autonomous committee was divided, the officials had already preliminarily confirmed.
After a simple consultation, it was finally decided that Qiao Yu would serve as the acting governor and commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Revolutionary Army, Bai Kuan would serve as the temporary speaker of the Sichuan Parliament, Wang Dongcheng would serve as the vice speaker, and Xue Shan would take over as the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Now the Chamber of Commerce has unparalleled influence in both the political axe and the parliament, and Xue Shan is also very satisfied with becoming the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
In terms of political axes, Shi Dingzhong was appointed Minister of Civil Affairs, Wang Gui was appointed Minister of Commerce, Qiao Cheng was appointed Minister of Finance, Tang Yisheng was appointed Minister of Infrastructure, Zhao Baoxuan was appointed Minister of Industrial Development and Planning, Qian Tai was appointed Minister of Agriculture, Wu Tong was appointed Minister of Military Affairs, Han Yong was appointed Minister of Public Security, and other departments such as the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Health were not appointed because they did not have suitable officials.
In fact, this is also for outsiders to see, after all, Yucheng is not the political center of Sichuan, there are still a large number of interest groups in Xichuan, if there are people in Yucheng who occupy all the military and political axes, those people will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts, so Qiao Yu added an agent in front of the governor, and added the word temporary in front of the parliament, which is to clearly tell the many forces in Xichuan that you can rest assured to join the new political axe, which is already a vacancy.
In terms of the army, a large-scale adjustment has also been carried out, originally Yucheng has two oblique people, which is equivalent to a town, and now it is reorganized, a total of three divisions have been expanded, and the first mixed association of Yucheng has been expanded into the first division of the Sichuan Revolutionary Army, Qiao Yu personally served as the division commander, the chief of staff is Wu Tong, and the second association has been reorganized into the second division, Qiao Zhen served as the division commander, Su Ding became the chief of staff, and at the same time the Yucheng garrison division was established, responsible for protecting the security of Yucheng, and the division commander was Han Yong.
Set up the shelf, all that's left is how to sing the play well!
"Bastard, this is stealing the fruits of our revolution, what is it that Qiao Yu dares to proclaim himself governor, what about those of us who were born and died, is our blood shed in vain? It's really hateful, we will fight to Yucheng now, and I will go and ask him if he still has the face to sit on the throne of the governor? ”
The news of the Sichuan military and political axe soon spread throughout Sichuan, and the people's army naturally got the news, although they instigated Rongxian to read the power and became the first local government to break away from the Qing court, but the influence of Rongxian is too small, and it is still in the middle of the army of Duanfang and Zhao Erfeng, it is very dangerous, and now these people are desperately fighting with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but they have established a political power in Yucheng, so they can not make the leaders of the people's army angry!
Wang Tianjie was holding the newspaper and roared loudly: "What a shameless Qiao Shunqing, what else did he say that the Sichuan military and political axe is the only legal political axe in Sichuan, and he asked the people of Sichuan to listen to his orders, who gave him this power!" This thief is shameless! ”
Wu Yuzhang and the others were also indignant, and even Yang Shukan, who was going to lead troops to attack Yucheng and deal with Qiao Yujiu, picked up the newspaper carefully, read it carefully, and shook his head incessantly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, take a closer look at the newspaper, Qiao Yu has already said that the reason why the Sichuan military and political axe is the only legal political axe is to avoid a situation of Sichuan being divided, and he also invited the leaders of the people's army from all walks of life to Yucheng to discuss the state of the country, and there are many vacancies in the political axe, which is obviously waiting for a vacant position!"
"What? Mr. Cangbai, do you believe Qiao Yu's nonsense? Wang Tianjie asked rhetorically.
"Naturally, I don't believe it!" Yang Shukan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He will definitely eat people without spitting out bones, but people are playing above board, and the posture has been put out, we have no excuse to send troops at all, and we don't have the strength, let's just say now, our weapons have run out, if it weren't for the help of Yucheng, it would have been impossible to support it a long time ago, and Zhao Erfeng's army and Duanfang's army trapped us in the middle, and the situation was very unfavorable!" ”
"Cangbai, don't worry, Duanfang's army is still inferior to us, not only do they have no weapons, but they are also seriously short of food, as for Zhao Erfeng? I'm afraid he has already begun to withdraw his troops at this time, Wuchang Shouyi, the next thing is the response of the world, I think the Qing Dynasty is going to be completely finished! Wu Yuzhang waved his fists, looking very excited, victory in sight!
