The telegram from Yunnan was just sent out a day later, and the most famous Shanghai "Declaration" typed a huge line of "Guizhou, do you know what you are doing" in eye-catching traditional Chinese characters the next day. The culprit Chen Lijun was scolded by the author of this article as a sinner through the ages who brought chaos like Zhang Jiao, saying that the Republic of China was about to enter the republican stage with great difficulty, and now Chen Lijun jumped out like this is tantamount to the Taiping Sect, the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, if it causes a war across the country, Chen Lijun will pay full responsibility!

As soon as this article came out, in Guizhou, Chen Lijun was blamed and scolded by the majority of the people in the country, in addition to the wonderful article, the signature of the article: Liang Qichao, is also the fuse that fuels the fire.

Liang Qichao, but now the most learned person in the Republic of China, he has jumped out to accuse Guizhou and Chen Lijun, so most people naturally have to follow the accusation without question.

Of course, not only the academic celebrities represented by Liang Qichao, but even Song Jiaoren, the representative of the newly established Kuomintang, also issued a strong accusation and condemnation of Guizhou's move. As soon as they jumped out, hundreds of thousands of members of the League all over the country were even more excited, and some excited people couldn't help but prepare to go to Guizhou to personally bring their advanced ideas and wash away the backward and ignorant people of Yunnan and Guizhou.

In just two days, when Gu Pinzhen's army had just marched to the Yunnan-Guizhou border, and before the battle began, the national public opinion offensive was already on the side of Yunnan.

Yanjing, Zhongnanhai.

"Songpo, Jingwei, what do you think of this Yungui matter?" In the Purple Light Pavilion, Yuan Shikai looked at the two people in front of him, Cai Ye and Fan Wei, and handed over the newspaper.

Cai Ye and Fan Wei took over the newspaper in turn, of course, the major events in the newspaper were nothing more than what Yungui was going to fight, and the two of them had known about it for a long time. So just by taking a look, Cai Ye and Fan Wei put down the newspaper.

"President, I don't know about this." Fan Wei was the first to speak, after all, he was now the nominal governor of Guizhou, the supreme administrator, and he always had to be a little more proactive about what happened on his territory, although he didn't know much about the specific situation.

He has been in Yanjing for almost a month, Yuan Shikai should have understood him, he should have understood him, and he should have said that Fan Wei had already been asked to return to Guizhou to continue working, but I don't know what the reason is, Fan Wei has always wanted to leave, but Yuan Shikai did not approve. This time something like this happened, and Fan Wei was also a little surprised.

"I don't know, then Brother Jingwei, can you tell me, is this Chen Lijun your military commander?" Yuan Shikai nodded slightly, and there was no expression on his face.

"Chen Lijun, he is our military commander, before I came to Yanjing, he was in charge of our military affairs in Guizhou and Guizhou, why did he detain Dai Dudu, there must be some misunderstanding in this." Fan Wei immediately gave this matter a surname, a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding, I also believe that there must be some misunderstanding in this." Yuan Shikai also nodded slightly, and then looked at Cai Yi, who had not spoken for the time being: "Brother Songpo, Dai Dudu's character, you also told me before, you said that he is also a calm and wise person, so what do you think of this incident?" ”

Cai Yi glanced at Fan Wei without a trace, and shook his head: "President, I also think there must be some misunderstanding in this, we have too little information now, and I can't see what happened for the time being." I'm afraid that Brother Jingwei will go back soon this time to take a look, without Brother Jingwei in charge, the hearts of the people in Guizhou may not be stable. Cai Yi looked at Fan Wei.

Yuan Shikai's gaze also turned to Fan Wei, Fan Wei didn't speak, just looked at Yuan Shikai solemnly.

"It seems that this time, Jingwei has to rush back as soon as possible to have a look." Yuan Shikai was silent for a moment, and had to say to Fan Wei.

Fan Wei nodded solemnly, and then after the three of them chatted about their views on the Yungui incident, Fan Wei got up and said goodbye.

"Matsuha, do you have any other thoughts on this matter?" After Fan Wei left, only Yuan Shikai and Cai Ye were left here, and Yuan Shikai asked Cai Ye again at the moment.

Cai Ye unconsciously glanced at Yuan Shikai, since Yuan Shikai came to power, he saw that his subordinate Tang Jiyao became the governor of Sichuan, so he found an excuse to transfer himself to Yanjing to work. At first, Cai Ye thought that Yuan Shikai really called him to help, but after arriving in Yanjing, Yuan Shikai only appointed him as the supervisor of the National Economic Boundary Office, which is equivalent to the Land Bureau's special management of national land and other work, an idle position that can't do anything big. Since then, Cai Ye has known how Yuan Shikai is guarding against him. And now, Yuan Shikai specially left him behind, and he may be suspecting in his heart that this matter was done by himself, Cai Ye naturally can't really express any opinions, even if he knows that this may be some ploy from Guizhou and Yunnan, he won't say it.

"Other opinions, President, I really don't have any other views on this matter, although Dai Jian is my classmate, I recommended him to succeed me as governor, it was also because of his ability, not anything else. If you are not in your position and do not seek your own government, after our country enters the Republic of China, there may be all kinds of problems, not in that environment, some problems are not easy for me to guess. Cai Yi shook his head, and his decent answer made Yuan Shikai unable to see a trace of anything else.

Although Yuan Shikai was disappointed in his heart, he still tested Cai Ye through various side knocks, but Cai Ye answered Yuan Shikai's various questions in a decent manner, so that Yuan Shikai could not find a trace of questions. In the end, Yuan Shikai had to give up the temptation of Cai Ye and let Cai Ye go back to work hard.

As soon as Cai Ye left, the smile on Yuan Shikai's face froze.

At this time, his son Yuan Keding also walked in.

"Daddy." Yuan Keding made a salute.

"Well, did you find anything else? Has anyone been in contact with Fan Wei and Cai Ye recently? Seeing his son, Yuan Shikai nodded lightly, and then went straight to the point.

"I didn't find any other news, Guizhou didn't have any reaction for the time being, Fan Wei didn't have any unusual behavior in Yanjing, and Cai Yi had a regular party with Jiang Baili and them every day, and he would definitely go to find Xiaofengxian. He didn't look anything out of the ordinary, nor did he come into contact with any suspicious characters. Yuan Keding replied truthfully.

After the Yungui incident came out, Yuan Shikai suspected that this incident was a trick played by Fan Wei and Cai Yi, and immediately launched a close surveillance of the two, but the two of them were not very clear about this matter at all, and their monitoring naturally did not gain anything.

"Could it be that the two of them really don't know?" Yuan Shikai read it himself, and then shook his head, he didn't believe it himself. To tell the truth, there are only two or three people he can see in Yungui's place. Cai Yi, the most threatening one, has been transferred to his side, and as for the others, he really doesn't have any eyes.

Fan Wei?

After a month of contact, he didn't find any merits and strengths of Fan Wei, just an honest and responsible Qing court remnant official, who controlled him very well. Originally, he was going to beat Fan Wei, but who would have thought that he hadn't beaten yet, and now this thing had happened, and there was no way, he could only release Fan Wei in Guizhou.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Yuan Shikai didn't think of any clue, and then he raised his head: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on Cai Yi and Fan Wei, and let people follow carefully along the way, so as not to be discovered." ”

Thinking about it, he was still a little uneasy about Cai Yi, as for Fan Wei to go back, that person would be a person.

"Yes!" Yuan Ke fixed his head and went down.

……

At the same time, just when all kinds of crusades from all over the country were pouring in, Chen Lijun was also preparing to attack in Xingyi, Guizhou, and strengthened the border guard. The people here can also see the assembly of teams, and an atmosphere called tense slaughter is also spreading here.

However, in a room in Xingyi at this time, the atmosphere was even more solemn.

This is a very large and wide room, and the room at this time is full of people, including landlords who are still wearing former Qing Dynasty clothes, and ** people with braids and cuts, all kinds of people. These are all kinds of rich landlords and famous people within a hundred miles of Xingyi, and they are all superior in front of the common people. However, at this time, these people were surprisingly quiet.

Because, in front of everyone, there stood a man.

Chen Lijun.

Dressed in a military uniform, Chen Lijun's figure is more upright and majestic, and his eyes are also surprisingly flat, but these plain eyes swept over everyone, and these original celebrities all lowered their heads.

"Everyone, I don't want to say more, everyone knows about this time." In a solemn atmosphere, Chen Lijun spoke.

"Now I am looking for you for one thing, there is going to be a war, I need food and military salaries, and now the army in Yunnan has been assembled outside, if we don't resist, they may rush in, and then your safety may not be guaranteed. So, if you don't want to have anything to do during this time, you have to support me with all your might. ”

"It depends on everyone's mind, I, Chen Lijun, will not say anything, as long as we get through this difficult time and we get compensation from Yunnan, I, Chen Lijun, will repay you twice."

"That's all I have to say, I hope the big guys will support me this time." After a period of silence, Chen Lijun didn't care whether these people agreed or not, and turned around and left after saying this, leaving a solemn and complicated face in the room.

The beginning and end of this incident, they did not know better than anyone else, everything Chen Lijun did exceeded the limits of Guizhou. After exceeding this limit, Chen Lijun did not repent at all, but insisted on starting a war with Yunnan. What does this mean, it shows that Chen Lijun actually has a rebellion.

In the face of a soldier who is opposed and in power, these people have no choice, and they can't choose, after a long period of silence, they can only obey Chen Lijun's wishes, donate money, as for how much, don't you see those soldiers outside still guarding? If you donate less, can you get out of this door?
