Chapter 162: The Great Earthquake
Zhang Taiyan and Tao Chengzhang are not brothers, they are better than brothers, seeing their friends die tragically like this Zhang Taiyan was about to go crazy, shouting loudly, let the guards catch the murderer who threw the bomb, the surrounding guards hurriedly chased after him, the young man moved relatively fast, and at this time he had rushed to the vicinity of the school wall, and several guards were about to shoot, at this time several black muzzles suddenly appeared on the wall, and several guards were injured in the blink of an eye.
When Tao Chengzhang's guards stabilized, the murderer was nowhere to be found, and Song Jiaoren and others, who witnessed Tao Chengzhang's tragic death, were also shocked, and now everyone has only one question in their hearts, that is, who killed Tao Chengzhang, who is this cruel murderer, and Tao Chengzhang died together There are more than a dozen normal school students, who is so desperate that these innocent people are buried together?
Zhang Taiyan's eyes were already on fire at this time, "Go and find out for me, no matter who killed Tao Huanqing, I want him to pay for his life!" ”
Tao Chengzhang's death news came out, and immediately China fell into a shock, Tao Chengzhang as a revolutionary hero, the leader of the Liberation Society, the leader of the United Party, stayed in Nanjing, how noble his identity is, he can be compared with Sun Huang, and many people think that Tao Chengzhang has the ability to impact the prime minister's throne, and he suddenly died where the great United Party will go.
What kind of ruthless person has naturally become a topic of heated discussion, and many newspapers immediately pointed the finger at Yuan Shikai, the reason is very simple, who profited the most from Tao Chengzhang's death, then who is the murderer, this is a very simple and simple logic, Tao Chengzhang has faintly become the leader of the south, and his prestige is prosperous, plus Tao Chengzhang has the intention to elect the prime minister and wants to seize control of the parliament, which is naturally a huge threat to Lao Yuan, and Lao Yuan naturally became a murderer.
However, as Tao Chengzhang's friend Zhang Taiyan thought at this time, the murderer of Tao Chengzhang was definitely not Yuan Shikai, a few days ago Yuan Shikai also promised to provide Tao Chengzhang with funds for disarmament, and now that the army has not been dismantled, how can it be that Lao Yuan did it.
Zhang Taiyan is such a shrewd person, now there is no evidence, and some people can't wait to put the blame on Lao Yuan, there is no doubt that their purpose is to blame others, and now the most fierce shouting is not the newspaper under the Liberation Society, but the people of the original Alliance, and the murderer is about to come out when the matter comes to this point.
Zhang Taiyan clenched his teeth and clenched his fists together, the Restoration Society has been at odds with Sun Wen since Xinhai, and the Unification Party has greatly compressed Sun Wen's power, so the assassination of Tao Chengzhang has become an inevitable choice.
The only problem now is that there is no reliable evidence, this assassination is very well planned, not only people drop bombs, but also people respond, unlike the previous hurried assassination operations, it seems that the alliance will also have a lot of growth, Zhang Taiyan first sent a telegram to Lao Yuan, asking Yuan Shikai to arrange special personnel to investigate the mastermind behind the Tao case, and then to the Sichuan patrol envoy Qiao Yu, vice president Hubei Governor Li Yuanhong, Hunan Governor Tan Yanmin and other local officials asked them to come forward and make decisions for Tao Chengzhang.
Qiao Yu had already arrived in Lhasa at this time, the rebellious army had been defeated, and Luo Changqi, who had been besieged for a long time, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for the patrol to march quickly and save the people of the city!"
"Shen Tian doesn't have to be polite, this is my duty, but now the rebellion in Tibetan Province has only been solved for the most part, and I have not received all the credit, and the soldiers who have fled back have been occupied by the rebels, and according to the soldiers who have fled, there are also British officers who are also among the rebels, responsible for commanding the battle, otherwise the Kaze will not be so easy to fall."
Luo Changqi has been in Tibet Province for a long time, and he is very familiar with the situation here, and he has also heard some of the actions of the British, at this time his brows are furrowed: "Dashuai, Kaze is south of the Brahmaputra River, three hundred kilometers away from Lhasa, and only one hundred kilometers away from the Indian border, if the British fully intervene, it will be difficult for us to completely wipe out the rebels, and the next step of counterinsurgency is only even more difficult!" ”
"Well, Shen Tian brought a large army into Tibet this time, just to put down the rebellion in one fell swoop, and at the same time, to completely change the land and eliminate the separatist forces, even if it is worth offending the British for this goal!"
Just as Qiao Yu spoke, Wang Tianhe hurriedly walked in and handed a telegram to Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu opened it and looked at it, suddenly dizzy, and almost fainted, this telegram was sent by Zhang Taiyan, informing Qiao Yu of Tao Chengzhang's death, and at the same time imploring Qiao Yu to administer justice for Tao Chengzhang.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, this historical surname is too big, Tao Chengzhang was still assassinated, and there are no bones, as for who killed Tao Chengzhang, Qiao Yu naturally knows, but the situation in front of him is not the same as the original history, so Lao Yuan's suspicion is not nothing.
Of course, after Qiao Yu got this telegram, the first thing he thought of was that his overall plan had been disrupted, with Tao Chengzhang's death, the fledgling United Party would definitely fall apart, or even fall apart, and this cruel assassination method would also cast a huge shadow on the road to Ming Boil's constitutionalism, so that the already slim hope would be completely cut off, and China's political scene would also change dramatically because of this assassination, and the entire southern forces would definitely be reshuffled, so what should I do?
Luo Changqi was about to offer advice on how to quell the rebellion, and suddenly saw Qiao Yu's face change wildly, and his heart was also frightened, it is definitely not a trivial matter to be able to make this patrol envoy lose his temper like this, and it can even be said to be earth-shattering, I don't know if it will affect the overall situation of Tibetan Province.
After a while, Qiao Yu finally regained his composure: "Shen Tian, I'm afraid I can't stay in Tibetan Province anymore, and the Sichuan Army will also be transferred back as soon as possible, and I will entrust you with all the things in this Tibetan Province in the future, I don't know if you can bear it?" ”
Luo Changqiu's face also became very serious: "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will do my best and swear to serve the country!" ”
"Well, with Shen Tian here, I will rest assured, I will leave five thousand elite soldiers to form an elite mountain brigade, and militia units must be formed in various places, these are your strong backing, I need you to do two things, one is to completely change the land and return to the stream, and the other is to clean up all the pro-British forces, of course, this is not an overnight thing, but you must have a number in your heart, and you must take Yukhase as soon as possible."
After Qiao Yu explained, he called Liu Xiang over again, this time Liu Xiang performed well in the counterinsurgency, and Qiao Yu decided to promote him as the commander of this mountain army.
"Fu Cheng, Mr. Tao Chengzhang was assassinated, the situation in the world is bound to change greatly, I must be in charge of Sichuan, so I intend to hand over the affairs of Tibet Province to you, what do you think?"
When Liu Xiang heard that he wanted to give himself the opportunity to be alone, how could he not be happy in his heart: "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will be loyal to my duties and firmly guard Tibetan Province!" ”
"It's not just as simple as holding on, you also have to train an elite mountain force for me, to be able to deter the Quartet, the burden on your shoulders is not light, do you still have confidence?"
"Don't worry, the marshal, although Tibet Province is hard, but since he has put on a military uniform, he has already pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers, are you still afraid of hardship, the more difficult the place, the more you can train elite soldiers!"
"Well, very well, then I have one more thing to ask you, there are many British officers in command of the rebels in Kaze, if you encounter these British in battle, what should you do?"
When Liu Xiang heard that this was going to test himself, his eyes rolled slightly: "Dashuai, Tibet Province is Chinese territory, there is no British army at all, only rebels, no matter who dares to betray the country, you must be ready to lose your head!" ”
