The Chengdu Bloody Case was like a spark falling on the powder keg, and all kinds of newspapers suddenly started to fire, even the declaration, the people's newspaper, and even some foreign newspapers were involved, scolding the Manchus for harming the people, and the League that was about to move finally waited for this golden opportunity.

Originally, they wanted to act, but Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun and others still tried their best to suppress it, so there was no large-scale conflict, and now these people have been arrested, without the last restraint, the alliance will naturally be able to throw off their arms and do it, and in an instant all the militias have sprung up all over Sichuan, and the militias from all over the country have marched to Chengdu, attacking the city and plundering the land all the way, forming a comrade army of the southeast and southeast roads.

The East Road Baolu Comrade Army was headed by Wang Tianjie, Wu Yuzhang, Long Mingjian and others, together with the people's armies of each county quickly killed Chengdu, and the Baolu Comrade Army of the South Road was led by Yang Shukan, Zhang Peijue and others, and the marching speed was also very fast, and Zhou Hongxun, an officer of the Qionglai Patrol Battalion, launched a mutiny, and cooperated with Yang Shukan and others to press Chengdu from the South Road.

Zhao Erfeng held a telescope to check the situation outside the city, and suddenly he was dizzy, he never thought that things would deteriorate to such an extent, he thought that after taking down Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun, Comrade Baolu would be leaderless, even if he wanted to launch it, it would not be so fast, it could completely allow him to arrange it calmly, how did he know that the power of the revolutionary party was beyond his imagination, and without the constitutionalist alliance, it would be as if it was unshackled, and the old man was not allowed to react at all, so he surrounded Chengdu.

At this time, the sound of Chengdu killing is like a tidal wave, the artillery fire is bombarding the sky and locking the clouds, and Yucheng is the scenery is unique here, Qiao Yu since the merger of the water camp, the second association of the Yucheng mixed association team is complete, and soon the shortage of recruitment is complete, after more than a month of training, has begun to take shape, with these two oblique troops, Yucheng is as stable as Mount Tai.

Although a large-scale uprising broke out in Xichuan, and many prefectures and counties in Dongchuan also had people to participate in it, but it was strictly controlled by Qiao Yu, and only ordinary people were allowed to participate in the uprising in the name of volunteers, and no local heroes were allowed to take the opportunity to expand their power, and it was also announced that all the Baolu Comrades Association in Dongchuan must be managed by the Yucheng Baolu Comrades Association, and they were not allowed to act privately to prevent turmoil, and the Chamber of Commerce also felt a real threat and fully cooperated to firmly control the situation in Dongchuan.

At the same time, it also controlled the local county magistrates and other officials, sent patrol police teams to manage law and order, completely hollowed out the original bureaucrats, and sent troops to expand outward in the name of protecting trade routes, and at the same time stepped up contacts with the revolutionary party to encourage them to send arms and food, and the already rapid and unusual uprising was poured with a barrel of oil, and the flames soared into the sky, as if they were about to incinerate the Qing court.

At this time, Duanfang, who was in Wuhan, also got a report of the Sichuan chaos, and at the same time, the imperial court also asked him to lead the new army in Wuhan into Sichuan as soon as possible to control the situation, Duanfang had already begun preparations a month ago, but the efficiency of the Qing court was really not flattering, and he reluctantly mobilized the army after a month, preparing to enter Sichuan to suppress the uprising, and Li Heyang entered Sichuan with him.

Now Li Heyang's mood is not to mention how depressed, he thought that he could move to Qiao Yu after suing Qiao Yu in front of the end side, even if he can't be defeated, he can weaken his power, but the situation will change, the Sichuan Baolu movement is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhao Erfeng is suppressing it unfavorably, Duan Fang has to focus on mobilizing the army, ready to enter Sichuan at any time to suppress, the army is just ready, the uprising will spread all over Sichuan, there is no energy to deal with Qiao Yu at all, from the family letter given by his old man Li Yaoting, Qiao Yu's power is even more expanded, The old man repeatedly warned him not to attack Qiao Yu at will, so as not to suffer from it.

Just as he was about to set off, the imperial court issued another order to remove Zhao Erfeng from the post of governor of Sichuan, and let Duan Fang act, Duan Fang was also ordered to be in danger, felt the trust of the imperial court, vowed to wipe out all the chaotic parties in Sichuan, and personally brought the 16th Association of the Eighth Town of the Hubei New Army into Sichuan.

At this time, Zhao Erfeng had already repelled the people's army besieging Chengdu, and southern Sichuan was the place where the rebel army was most concentrated, and the strength was also the strongest, so Duanfang led the army up the Yangtze River and went straight to Yucheng, and then set off from Yucheng and went straight to southern Sichuan.

Sitting on the boat along the way, I kept observing, the order of the merchant ships was unexpected, and there were people in all the states and counties along the way to maintain order, and there was no sign of chaos but a busy and prosperous scene, and I immediately became interested.

"Heyang, looking at the situation in Dongchuan, Sichuan is not chaotic, it is orderly, I am afraid that some local officials deliberately exaggerate the forces of the chaotic party in order to shirk responsibility, right?"

"My lord, let me say something that shouldn't be said, this Dongchuan is different from other places, it is Qiao Yu who really controls the power, it is the Chamber of Commerce, you see that the military and police patrolling the docks in the state and county along the way are all his people, and the original green battalion patrol battalion has been unified and trained, and now it is able to maintain local law and order! The ambition of the adult Qiao Yu can also be seen from this, arrogant and domineering, wantonly interfering in local affairs, erecting officials at all levels, and the heart of disobedience has been clear! ”

Duan Fang shook his head slightly: "He Yang, don't be blinded by your hatred, I know that the Qiao family and your Li family have competed in business, you see that Qiao Yu is not pleasing to the eye, I also understand, but I think you are still a little prejudiced, now the local wind and rain are shaking, in order to protect his own interests, it is normal for him to do something out of the ordinary, but it is not a small credit to be able to maintain the stability of Dongchuan, and now Dongchuan is probably the same as Xichuan if Niu Chuanshan is in charge, I think this person is a talent, understands the military, understands industry, and has the ability, there are not many such young talents in the Qing Dynasty, if he can serve the imperial court, I will definitely recommend him, within ten years, he will be a feudal official! ”

Li Heyang didn't expect Duan Fang to start admiring Qiao Yu, so he didn't say anything anymore, the fleet went straight to Yucheng, at this time Qiao Yu was accompanying Tang Yisheng, Zhao Baokun and others to talk about the iron factory, Wu Hengchang, who originally inspected the Qijiang iron mine, also came at this time, he personally traveled all over Qijiang, and initially figured out the situation of the minerals, this time he came to Yucheng, and wanted to discuss the creation of the iron factory with Qiao Yu, and he also brought his cousin Wu Tong over, Wu Tong also studied in the United States, studying at the Army General Service and Staff College, Excellent grades, and just returned to China, Wu Tong originally hoped to join Beiyang, but although Wu Hengchang did not have formal contact with Qiao Yu, but judging from the introduction of Tang Yisheng and others, this young man has gathered a huge interest group, and the means and knowledge are also first-class, the most critical Qiao Yu does not have the bureaucratic style of the Qing court yamen, Wu Hengchang also knows that although his cousin is talented, he is not very good at being a man, and he is a little arrogant, and he is afraid that he will not be able to mix in Beiyang, That's why he was pulled to Yucheng, hoping to join Qiao Yu's group.

"Qiao Xietong, I made a preliminary survey of the Qijiang area, I estimate that the reserves of iron ore are more than 10 million tons, and there are no less than 100 million tons of coal, although the taste is not very high, but it is enough to establish a large-scale steel plant, and even surpass the Hanyang Iron Works, which will definitely become a symbol of China's heavy industry in the future!"

"Boss, Lao Zhao and I also contacted friends in the United States, now the steel industry in the United States is not in a recession, about three million can get a full set of iron-making and steel-making equipment, I estimate that the total investment is only about five million, and the scale can be above the Hanyang Iron Works!" Tang Yisheng said excitedly: "Boss, you said last time that the time was not ripe to build an iron plant, but now that the situation has changed greatly, can't it be established?" ”

Steel is too important, Qiao Yu originally planned to seize Sichuan, become a local powerhouse, and have the ability to protect the steel plant, and then build it. However, the preliminary work can also be done now, and it is only a month away from Wuchang Shouyi, so he nodded and said: "It is unusual to establish a steel plant, and then hire some experts to inspect it, and the site of the factory must also be selected, you all let it go!" As long as you're ready to stop, I'm fully supporting! ”

Wu Hengchang was also relieved, and got Qiao Yu's reply, the steel plant is promising, he was also very happy in his heart, and said: "Qiao Xietong, my cousin Wu Tong graduated from the US Army General Service and Staff College!" Now there is nowhere to run, I don't know if you can take it! ”
