Guizhou, Chishui.

This is a city located in Zunyi City, northern Guizhou Province, a city in the middle and lower reaches of the Chishui River. Bordering the southern part of Sichuan, it has always been the link of trade exchanges between Sichuan and Guizhou, and it is also an important gateway to Bashu in northern Guizhou.

Of course, the small city of Chishui may not be well-known now, but more than a dozen years later, the famous battle of the Red Army's four crossings of Chishui was fought here.

As an important gateway for exchanges between the two provinces, once Sichuan wants to take any military action against Guizhou, Chishui will definitely bear the brunt.

And now, just when the attention of the whole country was on the Yunnan-Guizhou border, an army came from outside Chishui City, and without saying a word, they launched an attack on Chishui. Fortunately, the army on Chishui's side is not vegetarian, and it reacted in a very short period of time, and immediately gave a strong counterattack.

This raiding army did not take advantage of it for a while, but remained in a stalemate.

Tang Jiyao, who was in the back, was so angry that he scolded the officers of this unit, and then he declared war on Guizhou with righteousness and solemnity on the grounds that he wanted Guizhou to hand over Dai Huan. Soon, he added another three thousand troops.

For a while, his instantaneous increase in troops really almost broke through Chishui's defenses in one fell swoop, but the formal battle had not started for long, and the army on the Guizhou side almost moved when they heard the wind, arrived in time to help, and the battle was suddenly stalemate, and Tang Jiyao's troops even suffered heavy casualties for a time.

At the same time, Tang Jiyao was shocked by this result, and it also aroused his anger, and then he continued to recruit soldiers regardless of the ** of the people of the whole country, as if he really wanted to seek justice for Yunnan, and the people here in Yunnan immediately applauded, and for a time Tang Jiyao was supported by most of the people in Yunnan.

However, Tang Jiyao's dispatch of troops did not have any grievances at all, he was only forced to send troops this time due to various unsatisfactory pressures in Sichuan, and he also wanted to take advantage of this golden opportunity to expand his territory, and by the way, he took back the losses he suffered in Guizhou a few years ago.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he originally thought that it would be easy to rely on Sichuan's rich and well-equipped elite soldiers to attack Guizhou and take advantage of Guizhou, but the result of the war quickly told him that it was difficult for him to enter Guizhou by violence!

However, Tang Jiyao's side did not take advantage of Guizhou's side in the battle, but his shot was equivalent to a fuse, and the people here in Yunnan watched Tang Jiyao move, but Gu Pinzhen here did not make any moves, and they couldn't sit still.

Gu Pinzhen saw that people's hearts were fluctuating, so naturally he didn't dare to wait any longer, so on November 1, 1912, he finally issued an ultimatum to Chen Lijun to release him. And Chen Lijun's answer here is as tough as ever.

Tough for tough, when the two strong meet without any compromise, what will happen?

Hit!

As a result, in the midst of the angry scolding and condemnation of most intellectuals across the country, the battle of Yunnan and Guizhou was inevitable.

This is the focus of national attention.

Nanning, Guangxi.

"It's a fight, Governor, they're still fighting." In the Governor's Mansion, Chen Bingkun took a newspaper and trotted quickly to Lu Rongting's office.

"It's a fight, when is it going to start?" Lu Rongting took the newspaper at once and opened it impatiently. For about a minute, Lu Rongting's eyes never left the newspaper. During this period, Chen Bingkun has been waiting patiently.

It took two minutes for Lu Rongting's eyes to leave the newspaper.

"Tang Jiyao, he made a move." Lu Rongting's eyes couldn't see any emotion, Chen Bingkun nodded, and said, "It was his shot that caused Gu Pinzhen from Yunnan to make a move." ”

"This newspaper didn't write about the situation in Guizhou after Tang Jiyao's shot?" Lu Rongting looked up at Chen Bingkun. As a province bordering both Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, Lu Rongting can be said to be more concerned about the battle between the two provinces than anyone else.

No matter which province wins this battle, he has a lot to gain. As a warlord, the combat effectiveness of neighboring provinces has always been his concern, and it is also related to the formation of his own military. So he didn't care about anything else, and almost immediately noticed that the news in the newspaper only wrote that the battle had begun, but did not specifically describe the course and result of the battle, which was not what he wanted to see.

"It was not written, the news was compiled from the three provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan, and about the course of the fighting, none of the three provinces mentioned it." Chen Bingkun shook his head.

Lu Rongting's brows couldn't help frowning, although he was not interested in Yunnan or Guizhou, he was only interested in the territory of Guangdong, but this feeling that no information was clear still made him feel uncomfortable.

"Pass the order, let everyone keep an eye on it, and pay close attention to the situation in Guizhou and Yunnan." frowned slightly, there was only so much Lu Rongting could do at present.

Yanjing, Zhongnanhai.

Yuan Shikai, the president of China, was also full of newspapers about the war between Yunnan and Guizhou, and the heavy news on the stacks of newspapers was all about the war between Yunnan and Guizhou, but looking at these newspapers, Yuan Shikai's face was not very good.

Because he rummaged through all the newspapers, he didn't get what he wanted like Lu Rongting. At this time, Yuan Shikai found that he had a very limited grasp of Yun Guichuan's movements, so much so that now, the battle over there had been going on for several days, and he didn't even know the specific movements and results.

Originally, he had an attitude of watching and waiting for the friction between Yungui and Guizhou, and he had never known much about the southwest region, this time the battle came out, although it had a great impact in **, but Yuan Shikai didn't care much about those people's calls for peace, and he himself also hoped that the two provinces would fight, and he didn't have to pay for it anyway. When the two provinces fight, he can also take a look at the specific strength of the two provinces by the way, which will be beneficial to his control in the future. But now, he found that his intelligence system seemed to be inferior to some newspapers.

This result made Yuan Shikai uncomfortable.

Of course, it's not thinking about these useless things now, Yuan Shikai quickly raised his head and shouted: "Come on!" ”

Immediately someone came in.

"Pass my word and let Cao Kun come to see me."

"Yes."

The people went down quickly, and after a while, Cao Kun arrived.

"President." Cao Kun immediately saluted Yuan Shikai.

"No need to be polite, now I will give you a task, you can pack up now and go to Changsha for me." Cao Kun has always been very relieved when doing things, and as soon as Yuan Shikai came over, he unceremoniously gave a task.

"To Changsha?" However, such a sudden task, this honest man also felt a little sudden.

"It's not been peaceful in the southwest recently, you can help me take a look." Yuan Shikai gave an explanation.

"Yes." After receiving the explanation, Cao Kun immediately saluted and went down.

"Yun Guichuan, I want to see what is there, Tang Jiyao, don't let me down." Watching Cao Kun receive the order, Yuan Shikai couldn't help but read a sentence. (To be continued.) )
