Lao Yuan has long been brewing a solution to the southwest in his heart, Cai Yi is a tiger, and he must be transferred to the central government to make Lao Yuan feel at ease, and at the same time, the Yunnan army must not control two provinces at the same time, no matter how weak that province is, it can't work, because this has broken through the bottom limit of the country and become a disguised reading kingdom, so Tang Jiyao must also roll back to Yunnan, this move Lao Yuan has already determined.

And how to deal with Qiao Yu Lao Yuan still can't make up his mind in his heart, Qiao Yu is different from Cai Yi, his foundation is deeper, and at the same time, there are many contradictions between Qiao Yu and Sun Huang, and he is at odds with the Dian army, leaving him in the southwest can contain these two forces, and the situation in the southwest frontier is complicated, there must be a available person to guard, so Qiao Yu can't be simply transferred away.

Lao Yuan took out the name of the patrol envoy for this reason, this is the first patrol envoy in the history of the Republic of China, after getting this name, Qiao Yu can justifiably control the two provincial-level administrative regions of Sichuan and the Sichuan Special Administrative Region, but if you want to get this name, you must hand over the civil affairs of Sichuan, and hand over the chief of civil affairs to Chen Eun, and Lao Yuan will go deep into the southwest of the administrative power.

This big move is also Lao Yuan's thoughtful, thrown out at this juncture, in fact, Lao Yuan is still sure enough to compromise the two powerful figures in the southwest, now that the Republic of China is just starting, people are determined, they will never dare to risk the world's disapproval, and Lao Yuan took out the conditions for exchange is also rich, in addition to the Sichuan Rebellion as an opportunity, huge public opinion, and I am not afraid that they will not agree.

Soon, China's major newspapers began to report on the rebellion in Sichuan, and at the same time, Lao Yuan also made a speech to defend national sovereignty to the death, and absolutely not allow the separatist situation to happen.

Appointed Sichuan Governor Qiao Yu as the Sichuan Patrol Envoy, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Counterinsurgency Army, promoted to a general, at this time the number of generals is not much, only Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Li Yuanhong, Huang Xing, Yin Chang and a few others, Qiao Yu was originally the governor of Sichuan, the military rank is lieutenant general plus the rank of general, and now he has become a genuine general, and has also become the first patrol envoy in the world, the shock is not small.

Many old people in Beiyang can't stand it anymore, why did Qiao Yu, a young late-born junior, get the high honor there, so many people are very unhappy in their hearts, and many people are still looking for Lao Yuan to make trouble.

However, the parties are not uncomfortable at all, the name of the patrol envoy is good, and the generals are even rarer, but Lao Yuan is not unconditional, and he gave Chen Eun to himself, originally Qiao Yu was in charge of the military and political power in Sichuan, but now he wants to give up the administrative power, how can he not be heartbroken.

However, he is also a strong advocate of quelling the chaos, if he refuses at this time, it will make the world see him, after thinking twice, Qiao Yu still decided to ask his father, only his father has enough experience to see through Lao Yuan's layout, so Qiao Yu asked his father for advice.

Qiao Guangyuan quietly listened to Qiao Yu's complaint in front of him, and the old man smiled slightly: "Shunqing, I'm happy for you, Lao Yuan let you be the patrol envoy of the Sichuan Border, and at the same time be responsible for suppressing the rebellion, which means that Lao Yuan has not completely regarded you as a threat, so arrange that you can continue to stay in Sichuan, but I am afraid that Cai Yi will not be able to sit in the position of Governor of Yunnan!" ”

When Qiao Yu heard that there was something more unlucky than himself, he suddenly came to his senses: "Dad, will Lao Yuan use this opportunity to attack Cai Yi?" Isn't Lao Yuan afraid of the instability of Yunnan when he changes his commander in battle? ”

Qiao Guangyuan shook his head: "Since you are in charge of quelling the chaos, taking out Cai Ye is not a change of commander, and the rebellion in Sichuan looks very serious, but Zhao Erfeng was able to quell the rebellion back then, and now it is not much worse, as long as you don't control each other, Cai Ye is in Yunnan, first plotting Sichuan, and then marching into Guizhou, and now he is trying his best to ask for war, wanting to enter Sichuan, what he said is very good, but it is also to expand his power, Lao Yuan will definitely not give him this opportunity, just wait for the board!" ”

Qiao Yu nodded, what Cai Ye did was indeed a bit excessive, but he shook his head again, and said with a wry smile: "Dad, you haven't shown the child a clear way, Chen Yi is about to enter Sichuan, what should I do?" ”

"Shunqing, you are still too impatient, I said that your biggest advantage is young, why don't you know how to grasp it, I will send you two words now, one is to wait, the other is to endure, think about it yourself!"

"Dad, I understand your old words, but seeing Sichuan fall into the hands of Chen Eun, isn't the child unwilling?"

"What is this called, don't you have a large group of civil and military generals under your hands, and I'm afraid that a little Chen Eun can turn the sky upside down, give him some benefits, and it can be regarded as giving Lao Yuan face, if he doesn't know what to do, can't he clean him up, how did you become a patrol envoy?"

Qiao Yu also reacted suddenly, Chen Eun is here to empty himself, but now the main power in Sichuan is controlled by large and small industrial groups in Sichuan, especially with the establishment of the Sichuan Investment Bank, Sichuan's industrial groups gradually have the prototype of the consortium, this force can not be controlled by anyone except himself, even Yuan Shikai can't, let alone Chen Eun.

It's true that he can cause trouble to himself, but he can't move his foundation, thinking of this, Qiao Yu's mood is also a lot better: "Thank you daddy for mentioning it, I'm ready to send troops to the riverside, the child is no longer by your old side, and I hope you take care of your body!" ”

"It's you who should take care, the river is a cold place, you must not make a mistake yourself!"

"Don't worry, you don't need me to charge, it's safe!"

After Qiao Yu figured it out, he hurriedly summoned his civil and military forces, "Ladies and gentlemen, this time I decided to personally lead the entire division of the First Division of Sichuan, the first brigade of the second division, plus a cavalry regiment, a baggage regiment, an engineer battalion, and two medical brigades, with a total of 20,000 people to conquer Sichuan, which is bound to succeed in a battle and completely quell the rebellion in Sichuan, and at the same time, I must also carry out the transformation of the land and return to the stream, implement the separation of administration and education, and completely pacify Tibet!" ”

Everyone thought that it was enough for Qiao Yu to only send a partial division into the riverside, but they didn't expect Qiao Yu to go out in person and lead so many troops, everyone was a little surprised.

Zhu Qinglan first raised a question: "Governor, Tibet is cold, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, it is better to lead the troops into the Sichuan by the humble position, and the five thousand troops are enough, there is no need to bring too many troops!" ”

Wang Dongcheng also spoke at this time: "The chief of staff's words make sense, Lao Yuan didn't have a good heart this time, and sent Chen Eun into Sichuan, just to seize it, you should still sit in Chengdu!" ”

Qiao Yu shook his head slightly, "This time Lao Yuan has made it clear that I will lead the troops, and I have also given the name of a commander-in-chief, I can't go if I don't go, in addition, this time I went to Sichuan not only to fight, but more importantly, to reform the place and completely stabilize this land, this is not only beneficial to the country, but also for us in Sichuan, if there is a rebellion at both ends of the river in three days, we can't build with peace of mind, but Chen Eun does have to take precautions, it depends on everyone's concerted efforts, I don't believe that Chen Eun still has the ability of Sun Monkey, Can you make a big fuss in the heavenly palace? ”

Qiao Yu said this domineeringly, Chen Eun wanted to set him up, but he didn't know who was emptying whom, and when everyone saw that Qiao Yu had made up his mind, they no longer persuaded him, but discussed the specific plan to enter Tibet.
