Chapter 121: Pretty Woman
Guizhou is a province with an early reading power after Wuchang Shouyi, but Guizhou in the process of reading power, forming a situation of confrontation between the two major factions of the Kuomintang and the constitutionalists, and finally the two factions reached a compromise and recommended Yang Xincheng, a Sichuan man whose faction is not obvious, as the governor of Guizhou, but due to the fierce competition between the two factions, Guizhou created a situation in which the governor, the executive premier, and the Privy Council jointly exercised power, and the real power fell into the hands of the Privy Council.
Zhang Bailin, the leader of the Kuomintang Party, became the president of the Privy Council, and Ren Kecheng, the leader of the Constitutional Party, became the vice president.
The constitutionalists first forced the governor Yang Xincheng to lead troops out of the province in the name of aiding Wuchang, so that without the suppression of the governor, the competition between the two factions would be even more blatant!
On February 2, Liu Xianshi took the lead in attacking, first killing Huang Zelin, and then going to arrest Zhang Bailin, but Zhang Bailin hid in the toilet, escaped a difficulty, and finally had to escape from Guiyang, Liu Xianshi actually controlled the power of Guiyang, and began to hunt and massacre the People's Party, and the whole Guizhou was in a rumor.
Qiao Yu kept Wang Lingji paying attention to the situation in Guizhou, and after the 22 coup d'état in Guizhou, Qiao Yu immediately got the news, and hurriedly summoned Wang Lingji and Chief of Staff Wu Tong to the official residence, and Wang Lingji began to report the situation.
"Governor, the old bureaucratic Constitutional Party headed by Ren Kecheng and Liu Xianshi drove the leader of the Kuomintang Zhang Bailin out of Guiyang, and now he has taken control of the power of Guizhou, but Zhang Bailin is not dead after all, but only escaped from Guiyang, and there is a possibility of counterattack, and Yang Xincheng led the Guizhou army in Hunan, I heard that the coup d'état must return to Gui, Yang, Liu Xianshi obviously can not guarantee the stability of the regime, and does not dare to ascend the throne of the governor, according to intelligence, Liu Xianshi wants to borrow troops from Cai Yi and control Guizhou with the help of the power of the Yunnan army."
Wu Tong stared at the map carefully, sighed and said: "Liu Xianshi is luring the wolf into the room, Yunnan is a barren land, in the past, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to rely on Sichuan to receive 500,000 taels of silver every year, and now there is no Sichuan assistance, and a brigade was lost in southern Sichuan the previous time, so it is even more urgent to replenish, Guizhou is a piece of fat, I am afraid that after the Yunnan army enters Sichuan, Guizhou will not be peaceful?" ”
"Chief of Staff, is there any certainty of victory in a battle with the Dian army in Guizhou?"
"Naturally, now the Sichuan army has been transferred to German equipment as a whole, plus there is sufficient ammunition and abundant soldiers, and we are not afraid to fight with the Yunnan army, but we are worried that the gains outweigh the losses, after all, Guizhou is still too poor, and now Sichuan's financial gap is very large, and it will be difficult to maintain it if Guizhou is occupied!"
Qiao Yu also looked at the map, and pointed to the west of Guizhou with his hand: "Chief of Staff, I want to occupy here!" ”
Wu Tong saw that this place was the western part of Guizhou, which was intertwined with Yunnan, and it was also a well-known poor area, so what was the benefit of occupying here? Wu Tong was confused for a while, and then took a closer look.
"Governor, you don't want to get the coal mines in Qianxi, do you? I've heard that there is coal there, but it's not very productive! And the transportation is inconvenient, and mining is very difficult! ”
The place that Qiao Yu values is the sixth, Panshui, which is known as the southern coal sea, but now sixth, Panshui has not yet built a city, but is divided into three counties, six branches, Panxian, and Shuicheng.
This generation is located in Qianxi, is the staggered area of the three southwestern provinces, there are rich coal resources, Qiao Yu wants to develop industry can not do without coal, so get six, Panshui is bound to win, originally Qiao Yu was ready to take advantage of the opportunity of the chaos in Guizhou to occupy Guizhou, will be six, Panshui homeopathic to the bag, but Qiao Guangyuan's reminder made Qiao Yu give up this tempting idea, but six, Panshui still has to get in his hands, supplement the shortcomings of Sichuan resources, and at the same time can strengthen the penetration of Guizhou, and strive to go southwest together.
"Chief of Staff, if Sichuan wants to develop industry, it is not enough to have enough high-quality coal support, Qianxi can provide us with countless coal, no matter what the price is, it is worth it, but the geographical advantage of the Yunnan army is greater than ours, how can we control here, and we don't have to occupy the whole of Guizhou, this is what we have to consider now!"
"What? Isn't the governor ready to take this opportunity to occupy Guizhou? Wu Tong thought that with Qiao Yu's vision, he would never let go of this good opportunity to occupy Guizhou, how could he miss the opportunity!
"Chief of Staff, the conditions for preferential treatment of the Manchu royal family have been reached, Lao Yuan will soon ascend to the presidential throne, he and Sun Cannon are different, we are just a local force, it is taboo to openly send troops to other provinces, this kind of thing is still left to Cai Yi to do, we must be very careful in this operation, not only to be able to enter Guizhou, occupy the coal mines in Qianxi, but also to show weakness in front of the Yunnan army, set off the strength of the Yunnan army, let Lao Yuan shift his attention to Cai Yi!"
Wu Tong now understands Qiao Yu's true plan, not only to take advantage, but also to show weakness in front of the Dian army, but not too weak, if it is too weak, it will not achieve the purpose of occupying Qianxi, and if it is too strong, it will be suppressed by Yuan Shikai, which is very measured, obviously although Lao Yuan did not participate in it, but his huge figure has begun to affect the whole world, can not not consider Yuan Shikai's attitude, this battle is more politically meaningful.
Wang Lingji has been listening carefully on the side, he also knows a lot about the military, after hearing Qiao Yu's plan, he secretly admires in his heart, Qiao Dudu has self-knowledge, does not covet Guizhou, and has a smart vision, to get the coal mine in his hands, he has to get benefits, and let Cai Yi go to the top cylinder, and pretend to be bullied by the Dian army in front of the outside, it is too dark.
However, this kind of troubled times can follow a master who is both dark and capable, so that he can soar Huang Tengda: "Dudu, I have an idea, now in Guiyang, Liu Xianshi and other Constitutional Party occupy the advantage, but there are still two forces in Guizhou that can threaten Liu Xianshi's safety, one is Yang Xincheng, and the other is Zhang Bailin, who is on the run, we might as well come to a plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark!" Yang Xincheng is a native of Sichuan, so in the name of supporting Yang Xincheng's return to Guizhou to quell the chaos, we sent troops to Guizhou, and at the same time secretly found Zhang Bailin, and then used Zhang Bailin's power to take Qianxi in our hands! ”
As soon as Wang Lingji said this, Qiao Yu and Wu Tong carefully weighed it and found that this was indeed the best way, using Yang Xincheng to bluff, first touch the Dian army, and then deliberately fail, so that the Constitutionalist Party gained an advantage.
The three of them discussed carefully for a long time, and finalized the action plan, Wu Tong and Wang Lingji were busy arranging, Qiao Yu has been busy since the crossing, and it is time to take the time to relax, and came directly to the Tiantai Teahouse, Xue Yanniang knew that after Qiao Yu arrived, she hurriedly dressed up carefully, and then moved the lotus step to the garden in the backyard of the Tiantai Teahouse, Qiao Yu was in the pavilion while admiring the plum blossoms and drinking tea.
Xue Yanniang found that Qiao Yu didn't notice herself at all, and suddenly she was annoyed, she wasted so much effort in vain, people didn't look at herself at all, but stared at the blooming plum blossoms, could it be that she was a big living person and couldn't look better than flowers?
"Governor Qiao, so interested, why did you come here to enjoy the flowers, can the small garden of the slave family be compared to the Governor's Mansion?"
Qiao Yu smiled and glanced at the plum blossoms a few times, and said, "Boss Xue, you are really right, there are really no flowers as bright as you in the Governor's Mansion, otherwise I would have come in person." ”
