Chapter 131: Countdown to War
"Governor, Tang Jiyao is going to establish himself as a king, the governor must not agree!"
Cai Yi held a telegram in his hand, which was sent by Tang Jiyao, which introduced the situation of entering Guiyang, and expressed his determination to fight a decisive battle with the Sichuan army, and finally promoted him as the governor of Guizhou.
Seeing this, Cai Ye still doesn't understand that Tang Jiyao is ambitious after all and wants to be in charge of himself, although Tang Jiyao repeatedly said in the telegram that he would absolutely obey Cai Yi's orders, but from Tang Jiyao's request for the name of the governor of Guizhou, it can be seen that he is absolutely unwilling to be subordinate, both of them are governors, with the same name, each in charge of a province, why should I listen to you.
Li Gengen, as Cai Yi's descendant, also saw this telegram, Li Gengen was full of anger when he saw it, he was not much better than you Tang Jiyao in terms of seniority and prestige, you kid dared to grab the title of governor, my old Li couldn't agree, so Li Gengen strongly advocated the removal of Tang Jiyao's military power, and even took Tang Jiyao to justice.
"Mr. Qu Shi, now there is still a Sichuan army in Guizhou, if we rashly remove Tang Jiyao, I am afraid that Guizhou will fall into the hands of the Sichuan army as soon as the army's morale is chaotic, and in addition to Tang Jiyao, there are not many talents in the Yunnan army who can take charge of themselves, is there any suitable candidate?"
Li Gengen was also dumbfounded suddenly, there are no longer a few people in the Yunnan army who can fight habitually, but except for Cai Yi, who is also Tang Jiyao, the rest are useless.
"Then the governor can't watch Tang Jiyao and you on an equal footing!"
Cai Yi twisted the telegram lightly and crumpled it into a ball of paper: "Mr. Qu Shi, this Tang Jiyao is like this piece of paper, he can't escape from my palm, you give me an order now, I will personally lead the troops to southern Sichuan to meet the governor of Sichuan for a while!" ”
Cai Yi reorganized the armament, Tang Jiyao also got Cai Ye's permission at this time, and immediately took up the post of governor of Guizhou, and at the same time appointed Ren Kecheng as the speaker of the parliament and concurrently the chief of civil affairs, and Liu Xianshi as the minister of military affairs, and then Tang Jiyao issued a telegram in the name of the governor of Guizhou, demanding that the Sichuan army withdraw from Guizhou as soon as possible and not interfere in the affairs of Guizhou Province.
The army did not move, public opinion went first, and the governor of Yunnan, Cai Yi, immediately issued a telegram, condemning the Sichuan army's behavior of causing trouble to Guizhou, asking the Sichuan army to respect the choice of the people of Guizhou, withdraw from Guizhou, and at the same time hand Zhang Bailin and Yang Xincheng over to the Guizhou military and political axe to deal with!
Qiao Yu got two telegrams, and he also admired this ability to reverse black and white, Tang Jiyao entered Guizhou under the banner of the Dian Army, and when he turned around, he used the name of the governor of Guizhou to condemn the Sichuan Army, and Cai Yi also supported Tang Jiyao's actions in a serious manner, it seems that history cannot be trusted, which character in this era has countless faces, and if anyone treats them as faces, they will suffer a loss.
"Dudu, in my opinion, the Dian army has begun to split at this time, Tang Jiyao wants to be self-reliant, but Cai Yi may not allow it, the good show is about to start!" Zhu Qinglan was transferred back to Chengdu at this time to assist Counselor Qiao Yu in military affairs, he saw that after Tang Jiyao got the governor of Guizhou, he did not have too much sense of loss in his heart, the purpose of the Sichuan army's operation in Guizhou was not to plot the regime of Guizhou, and it was not impossible for the Dian army to gain the upper hand, and he saw the split of the Dian army, Zhu Qinglan thought that this was a good phenomenon.
"It's not that simple, Cai Jie's vision is still very clever, he is also powering to support Tang Jiyao at this time, the relationship between the two has not broken down, and in my opinion, Tang Jiyao can't fight Cai Jie, but this time the Qian chaos may evolve and expand to the entire southwest!"
Zhu Qinglan didn't think clearly when he heard Qiao Yu's words, then looked at the map again, and then looked at the power in his hand.
"Governor, do you think Cai Ye will take the initiative to attack Sichuan?"
"If Cai Ye doesn't attack Sichuan, how can he gain the status of controlling Tang Jiyao, Cai Ye has first-class vision and strong military means, he is really a henchman!"
Just when Qiao Yu sighed, another piece of information was sent, Cai Yi planned to form a Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army to jointly expel the Sichuan army, Cai Yi became the commander-in-chief, and Tang Jiyao was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief, Cai Yi personally led the army and began to march to the Sichuan-Yunnan border! ”
Zhu Qinglan looked at this information, and really guessed well with Qiao Yu, Cai Ye once again put Tang Jiyao in the position of deputy by expanding the scale of the war, no matter how he operates in Guizhou, he will inevitably be controlled by Cai Yi, it seems that this is worthy of being one of the three heroes of non-commissioned officers, and it is really difficult to deal with.
However, it is not a good thing for the Yunnan army to expand the scale of the war in such a way, and the foundation of Yunnan is too thin: "Governor, can Yunnan's finances withstand such a large-scale conquest, is Cai Ye not afraid of Yunnan's economic collapse?" ”
"I'm afraid, naturally I'm afraid, but now that Nanjing has agreed to Yuan Shikai's appointment in Yanjing, China will soon complete the nominal unification, if Cai Ye doesn't seize the opportunity to defeat Sichuan, there will be no chance, and the status of the southwest overlord will not fall on his head!"
What Zhu Qinglan admires most about Qiao Yu is that he always has the overall situation in mind, as a superior, as long as the general direction is good, there will not be too many problems, so Zhu Qinglan asked very humbly: "How does the governor think we should deal with it?" ”
"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, Cai Ye wants to play big, we can't help but cooperate! I immediately took the rest of the First Division directly to southern Sichuan, and if I touched Cai Yi, the safety of Chengdu would be handed over to the chief of staff! Now Lao Yuan's ascension to the throne is inevitable, everything must be guarded against him, Lao Yuan is different from Sun Cannon, who has no power and powerlessness, Lao Yuan is now a strong soldier! Now it's on the momentum again, and a little movement is enough for us. ”
Zhu Qinglan nodded yes, Qiao Yu arranged it again, and went straight to southern Sichuan with the army, at this time the two armies of Sichuan and Yunnan opened a battle formation in Guizhou and southern Sichuan at the same time, Tang Jiyao became the governor of Guizhou as he wished, and personally led the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army to northern Guizhou, wanting to expel the Sichuan army from Guizhou.
Xiuwen is now just an ordinary town in the middle of Guizhou, with convenient transportation and developed agriculture, and is the gateway to the north of Guiyang, of course, Xiuwen in later generations is famous for bauxite, as an important position in the aviation and military industry, bauxite has not yet been recognized in China for its great value, and there is no corresponding electrolytic furnace factory.
However, soon the town will become the battlefield of the Sichuan-Yunnan war, and it has also attracted the attention of all parties, Qiao Zhen and Wu Tong took the Sichuan army to occupy Xiuwei first, and with the cooperation of the local autonomous society, mobilized the people, quickly built fortifications, erected machine guns and artillery, Zhang Bailin also personally came forward, convened the old department, formed a people's army, and wanted to regain the power of Guizhou by virtue of the first war.
At this time, the defenders of southern Sichuan were the third division of the Sichuan army led by Wang Huai and Shi Yi, originally they were ordered to go forward to contain the Yunnan army, at this time they had already received Qiao Yu's order, set up the southern Sichuan garrison headquarters, personally served as the commander-in-chief, appointed Wang Huai as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, unified command of the armies in southern Sichuan, jointly dealt with the invasion of the Yunnan army, appointed Shi Yi as the chief of staff, with the arrival of Qiao Yu, the two sides between Sichuan and Yunnan, the second confrontation also entered the countdown.
