Chapter 482: Southwest Prospecting (2)
The news of the attack on the prospecting team spread to the base camp of the prospecting team in Chongqing. The person in charge of the base camp quickly contacted Xi Longyun, the master of Yunnan, and asked Long Yun to immediately rescue the prospecting team.
Long Yun didn't dare to slack off after receiving the news, he knew that these prospecting teams were the elites selected from the geology colleges of several universities in China, and what problems were going to be solved, and the president was furious, but he couldn't eat and walked around.
Two hours later, when the frontier regiment arrived at the scene, it was found that the original more than 40 members of the mine guards had been killed and wounded, and the more than 70 exploration team members who had been protected had also been injured more than 10 people. If the border regiment had been ten minutes late, the exploration team would have been wiped out.
The frontier regiment, which arrived in time, drove away Ziliu Sitang and his team with a burst of indiscriminate gunfire and saved the exploration team that was almost wiped out.
"Bang!" , A teacup was thrown to the ground and turned into a pile of debris, and Su Tong was so angry that he trembled. In the past, he only knew that bandits were rampant in some remote areas of Yunnan, there were many armed forces, and in some places even the local government was helpless, but now they are so rampant that they dare to openly attack the prospecting team sent by the state and kill the prospecting team members.
Su Tong immediately called the confidential secretary to draft a telegram, ordering Long Yun to immediately arrest the culprit Liu Sitang and his accomplices and send them to Nanjing for trial.
Long Yun, who was far away in Kunming, Yunnan Province, was in a dilemma after receiving the telegram, on the one hand, because of the president's strict orders, and on the other hand, his old subordinates. Long Yun, who was also born in the Yi people, has a bold temperament, and his subordinates are also more caring, although Liu Sitang automatically broke away from the Yunnan army, but when he came to talk about righteousness, he still wanted to keep his old subordinates.
Long Yun, the office building of Kunming Province in Yunnan, said to Hu Ying, the deputy of the former Yunnan Jiangwutang General Varsity Team next to him: "Ying Gong, no matter what Liu Sitang says, he is also the person who went out of our Yunnan army, and now although he has done something wrong in a moment's confusion, we can't ignore it." Why don't I send another telegram to President Su begging for mercy? ”
This Hu Ying is the veteran of the Yunnan army, when Long Yun was still the guard of Tang Jiyao's side, Hu Ying was the brigade commander of the protection **, in the war against Yuan Huguo, Hu Ying became one of the five brigade commanders of the Yunnan Army, and he was also the brigade commander of the later Huangpu Chief Instructor, the original Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin, and later Hu Ying in the dispute between Zhongshan and Tang Jiyao for Gu Zhenglun to cut Zhongshan and want to remove the brigade commander, Hu Ying simply resigned after hearing about it, and returned to Yunnan with his family to live. Therefore, Long Yun still respects Hu Ying very much.
Hu Ying thought for a while and asked slowly: "Zhizhou, are you so optimistic about that Liu Sitang, even at the expense of offending the president?" Long Yunleng was stunned, he understood what Hu Ying meant, was he willing to offend the president for the sake of an old subordinate who killed and robbed? still followed the president's order to arrest Liu Sitang back. Long Yun also calmed down, now the day of the reorganization of the Yunnan army is approaching, and the document issued by the central government has already been determined, once the reorganization of all troops begins, they must serve as soldiers in other places, that is to say, once the reorganization of the Yunnan army's troops is completed, they must be dispersed immediately, and the troops will be stationed elsewhere, and the local garrison will not be allowed to happen, which is also repeatedly emphasized in Su Tong's reorganization order, so it is not a wise thing to provoke Su Tong at this time. But Long Yun himself is also a sentimental person, and he always has the idea of taking more care of his old subordinates, who are also Yi people. Guy Longyun's most core henchmen are Yi people, and it was with the support of these Yi brothers that he defeated Hu Ruoyu and others and became the king of Yunnan. In his subconscious, only his subordinates, who are also Yi people, are the most reliable.
"Of course Liu Sitang wants to save him, although he has withdrawn from our Yunnan army by himself, but since he used to be my subordinate, then I still have to take care of his affairs. We Yi people have a tradition of robbing relatives since ancient times, "I want to explain to the president, I think the president will still show mercy." Long Yun's words blurted out. Although Long Yun learned from Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin after successfully becoming a Yunnan network, he came to a cup to release the military power, and divided the old brothers who followed him to fight the world into high positions, and let those Han officers who came out of Yunnan Wutang lead the team, but in Long Yun's heart, he was still reluctant to let those middle and lower-level officers of the Yi people.
"My opinion is to immediately send troops to surround Liu Sitang and his cottage, surrender all their arms, and then send them to Nanjing." Hu Ying shook her head and said: "Now the president has just come to power for less than a few months" There is such a big mess in Yunnan, what do you want the president to think. And Zhizhou, your temper also has to be changed, I know that you usually protect those subordinates, but you can only harm them by protecting them under your wings like this, why did Di Yuetang dare to kill the prospecting team sent by Bafu without him thinking that something happened, and you will definitely come forward to protect him? Mothers have many defeated children, and this is the truth. ”
The temper of the Yi people has always been very straight, especially Long Yun, who has been a soldier for most of his life, is even more upright, if others said this, Long Yun would have slapped him a long time ago. But although Hu Ying's words were very heavy and straightforward, Long Yun didn't dare to lose his temper, who made Hu Ying not only a veteran in the Dian army, but also kind to Long Yun twice. If it weren't for Hu Ying back then, Long Yun wouldn't have known where he would have been shaded, so Hu Ying's words Long Yun really had to think about it.
"Yes, Zhizhou, you have to think carefully this time, this President Su is not a vegetarian. Zhizhou, you have to be careful! This matter is originally our fault, if you protect Liu Sitang again, the consequences will be very serious. Seeing this old man, Long Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this is the old man of Yunnan, called Zhou Zhongyue, this old man in the Guangxu years Xie Yuan, but he gave up the imperial examination in the second year to go east to study, and returned to China after his death, successively served as the director of the Yunnan Department of Education, the governor, the director of the Department of Civil Affairs, and the director of the Department of Internal Affairs.
Long Yun also knew that he had a straight temper and was very immature when considering things, so he valued Hu Ying and Zhou Zhongyue very much, and now seeing that these two main staff members were opposing in unison, he gave up the idea of pulling Liu Sitang along.
Long Yun immediately ordered the border regiment to immediately attack Liu Sitang's entrenched camp, and disarmed Liu Sitang and all of them and escorted them to Kunming. Just as Long Yun sent out the telegram, news came from the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing that the 27th Army of the former Sichuan Army, which had completed its reorganization in Sichuan, had been ordered to drive to Kunming. Liu Wenhui, the commander of the 27th Army, also sent a telegram to Long Yun, in which Liu Wenhui also sarcastically said that the Yi people are good at looting, but the national law does not allow it, and you Long Yun is not good at stopping the Yi people, and he can do it for him. Now he, Liu Wenhui, has been ordered to enter Kunming, and he will definitely assist Long Yun in governing Yunnan.
After receiving this telegram, Long Yun was so angry that he smoked, didn't he point at his nose and scold him for looting, did he support the looting of these old subordinates of the Yi people, and in a fit of anger, Long Yun tore up the telegram on the spot, and ordered the border regiment that he must arrest Liu Sitang and them within one day, whether they live or die.
After receiving Long Yun's strict order, the frontier regiment immediately surrounded Liu Sitang, and a burst of mortars smashed it and stunned the rabble gathered by Liu Sitang, and soon a white flag was raised in Liu Sitang's cottage.
After learning that Long Yun had arrested the culprit of the murder of the prospecting team, Su Tong immediately ordered Long Yun to send the main culprits to Nanjing by plane to be tried by military court.
The murder of the prospecting team became a sensation after being publicized in the newspapers. Soon after, the Nanjing Military Court issued a verdict that all 37 people headed by Liu Sitang who killed the escort of the prospecting team were sentenced to death and immediately executed.
A few days later, Su Tongchao took the opportunity to make a fortune and ordered the governors of the whole country to be transferred, and Long Yun was transferred to Heilongjiang Province, thousands of kilometers away from Yunnan, to become the "chief" seat of the provincial government, and the "chief" seat of Yunnan Province was taken over by Yan Xishan, the original emperor of Shanxi.
Su Tongzheng of the Nanjing Presidential Office and Li Zongren, the current general manager of the State Council, discussed the transfer of governors across the country, and Li Zongren said with a smile: "Jianming, you have completely muddied the water in the country. I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep because of this. Su Tong shook his head and smiled: "I also have no choice, the governors of the original provinces are all old fritters who have been operating for decades, just take Yan Xishan as an example, he has been running Shanxi for decades, and the forces of the central government can't pour water on them, can't insert needles, and won't it become an independent kingdom in the long run, and this incident in Yunnan has sounded the alarm for us, if it weren't for Long Yun's connivance with his subordinates, how could there be such a blatant killing of the prospecting team?" I'm also forced to do nothing. ”
Su Tong said this lightly, but Li Zongren didn't dare to think so lightly, Su Tong first took the army firmly in his hands in the name of reorganization and in the name of nationalizing the army, and then transferred Long Yun to Heilongjiang in the name of the Yunnan prospecting team. Although he is also the chairman of the provincial government, it is a world of difference compared to his deep-rooted influence in Yunnan. And Li Zongren believes that even if Yunnan does not send a prospecting team, Su Tong will find another excuse.
Now that the governors of the whole country have come to a big change, the power they originally operated has naturally disappeared. Su Tong is a little bit of a little bit of a ring, step by step, this little fellow of his is really powerful.! ~!
