Chapter 124: The Old Fox's True Colors

The first half of the telegram was written in Yang Xincheng's tone, mainly emphasizing local autonomy, the Yunnan army had no right to interfere in local affairs in Guizhou, and at the same time severely condemned Tang Jiyao's tyrannical behavior of indiscriminate killing, and finally warned Liu Xianshi, Ren Kecheng and others not to lure wolves into the house and joke about the well-being of the people of Guizhou, and the second half of the telegram was Qiao Yu's appeal as the governor of Sichuan, demanding that the Yunnan army stop its march as soon as possible and leave the problem of Guizhou to Guizhou to solve by itself, and Yunnan as a province has no right to interfere in the affairs of neighboring provinces, The top and bottom of Sichuan resolutely oppose this act of exceeding their authority.

Seeing this telegram, Tang Jiyao naturally knew very well that the Sichuan army was also going to intervene in the chaos in Guizhou, this telegram was the prelude to the Sichuan army's troops, to be honest, since the battle of southern Sichuan, the Yunnan army was really a little afraid of the Sichuan army, although the Sichuan army's combat ability was not as good as the Yunnan army, but whether it was the source of troops or financial resources, weapons and equipment were not comparable to the Yunnan army, so there was no confidence in the Yunnan army in a tough confrontation with Sichuan.

But Tang Jiyao didn't think so at this time, after all, this time he was fighting in Guizhou, and the Sichuan army or the Yunnan army were both guest troops, coupled with inconvenient transportation, the advantages of the Sichuan army may not be able to be brought into play, on the contrary, the advantages of the military quality of the Yunnan army can make the Yunnan army win, so Tang Jiyao is looking forward to competing with the Sichuan army, and at the same time proving to his colleagues that he is the first general of the Yunnan army.

After careful consideration, Qiao Yu decided to send the first brigade of the first division, the most elite of the Sichuan army, led by the second brother Qiao Zhen and Wu Tong to enter Guizhou as the vanguard force, and at the same time ordered the third division of the Sichuan army to cross the Jinsha River and enter the Anjiang and Qingning areas at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, forming a containment trend against the Yunnan army.

In addition, a machine gun battalion and a cavalry battalion were transferred from the second division stationed in Chongqing to assist Yang Xincheng to march to Guiyang as soon as possible, and it was necessary to control the situation in Guizhou before the Yunnan army.

"Fu Cheng, is the march going well?"

"Report to the chief of staff that everything is going well, and you will definitely be able to enter Zunyi according to the original plan!" Wu Tong nodded, and said: "Fu Cheng must not be careless, Guizhou has rugged terrain, the weather is changeable, Zunyi is an important town in northern Qianbei, it is not so easy to take, this is the first time the Sichuan army has fought in Sichuan, and you must not lose the face of the Sichuan army!" The young officer hurriedly saluted: "Please rest assured, chief of staff, our army will definitely not commit any crimes!" ”

This young officer is Liu Xiang, as the vanguard of the army, he led the lead in sending troops into Guizhou, so he naturally knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders, but his chest also burned with fighting spirit, the chief of staff was not much worse than his own age, and Qiao Yududu was younger than him.

I didn't have a chance before, and now it's time for me to show my skills, so Liu Xiang was full of ambition and led the army straight to Zunyi, an important town in northern Guizhou, to take the lead for the Sichuan army!

The Guizhou Rebellion attracted the attention of all parties in the southwest, but the most eye-catching thing in China at the moment was the contest between Nanjing and Yanjing, where Cai Yuanpei, Hu Hanmin, and Wang Zhaoming came to Yanjing as Sun Wen's envoys to ask Yuan Shikai to take up his post in Nanjing.

Lao Yuan naturally met with the three of them, Cai Yuanpei was about to present Sun Wen's letter, Lao Yuan took it and glanced at it a few times, and frowned: "I am naturally willing to take up a post in Nanjing, but now that the Qing Emperor has just abdicated, the north is uneven, and Mongolia is in turmoil, everything is like a mess, the old man is almost in the age of the sixtieth year, and his energy is limited, so he has long wanted to be a peaceful people, is there no talent among the southern monarchs who can beat Shi Kai?" Why bother me, old man! ”

Yuan Shikai's words almost didn't make Cai Yuanpei's nose crooked, you are willing to be a common man, then what are you doing when you go out of the mountains to seize power, but he also heard the threat in Lao Yuan's words, there is no one available in your south, so you still have to listen to me Yuan Shikai in everything.

Cai Yuanpei had no choice but to endure his surname and continue to persuade: "The old gentleman is highly respected, the world looks up, the people of Jiangnan have been looking forward to it for a long time, and please ask Mr. to leave for the south as soon as possible, so that the world can feel at ease!" ”

Lao Yuan shook his head again and sighed: "The north keeps me, the south invites me, I hate that the old man can't be in two places, so what's the matter!" The left and right are just taking care of one and losing the other, I think it's better to be in Yanjing Dingdu! ”

Wang Zhaoming was young and vigorous, and when he heard that Lao Yuan was cheating, he couldn't bear it, and said loudly: "Mr. Yuan, this revolution started in Wuhan and became in Nanjing, and now the temporary political axe and the Senate are all in Nanjing. ”

"Hehe, you are Wang Jingwei who writes down the knife into a fast and lives up to the head of the young man, right? It is really a young hero, but since you are willing to die for the country, why can't you let go of a little partisan opinion, I saw Mr. Zhang Taiyan's article a few days ago, and he said it very well, China is a country that pays attention to historical inheritance, throughout 5,000 years of history, Nanjing does not have a long-lived dynasty, and in terms of military affairs, our country is poor and weak, there is no desired navy at all, Nanjing is an undefended city, how can such a dangerous place be used as the capital, once the great powers attack, I am afraid that a single shot can kill all the central officials! Do you think Nanjing is still a suitable capital? ”

"Sir, that's a mistake!" Wang Jingwei is also a man of tongue debate, where will he be persuaded by Lao Yuan's words: "Mr. said that Nanjing is difficult to defend, but I don't know that Yanjing is the same, Dongjiaomin Lane is like a country within a country, there are no longer a few foreign garrisons, and there are also garrisons of foreign powers in other important places, plus the great powers have been operating for a long time, and the power is more powerful, in my opinion, Yanjing is more dangerous than Nanjing, and the establishment of the Republic of China should abandon the old fetters, we want to create a thousand years of Ming Cooking era, how can we decide the capital of a country because of historical problems?" Moreover, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is here, if Mr. can move the capital to Nanjing, it will completely set aside the Manchu Dynasty, lest unreasonable people say that Mr. was appointed by the Qing Emperor to become Liu Yu and Xiao Daocheng! ”

Wang Jingwei said that Liu Yu and Xiao Daocheng are the founders of the Southern Song Dynasty and the other are the founders of Qi, and they are both usurpers, the irony in the words is self-evident, what a city Lao Yuan is, you Wang Jingwei still want to provoke a hairy child, isn't that in vain.

"The three envoys must be tired, let's take a rest first, I will let Shaochuan give you a good reception, Shaochuan is Tang Shaoyi's word, Lao Yuan is going to play kicking ball, Cai Yuanpei also felt that it was not good to persecute too much, so he got up and said goodbye, at this time Tang Shaoyi should pass by to receive the three of them.

After a meal of wine and food, the three of them returned to their accommodation, ready to discuss the next step, at this moment suddenly heard a burst of people shouting and neighing, followed by several gunshots, and several more flying guns shot into the room of the three people, which immediately startled the three of them.

After Hu Hanmin recovered, he said hatefully: "This is Lao Yuan's means, he can't use literature with us during the day, and now he is going to use force, it can really be described as both soft and hard!" ”
