Chapter 291: Each Obeys His Duties, Each Keeps His Job

"Junzuo, Cai Songpo has fallen ill, it is said that sometimes it is good and sometimes bad, he has made Li Mo the governor, it seems that he has admitted defeat!"

Wang Lingji reported the latest information to Qiao Yu, Qiao Yu also shook his head slightly, Cai Yi is also a figure who has a strong color in history, originally Qiao Yu didn't want to clash with him head-on, but the situation forced it, the southwest must be unified as soon as possible, the group of the Dian army must be eliminated, blame God for arranging the two people in the adjacent provinces, Qiao Yu is actually thinking, if he travels to the northeast, maybe he is fighting with that Hu Shuai Zhang Zuolin at this time, this is probably the fate of the characters of this era.

"Brother Baili, you immediately help me draft a proclamation, the first Sichuan-Yunnan brotherhood war, since the victory and defeat are divided, no more murder can be made, and war criminals will not be pursued, the Yunnan army will surrender as soon as possible, and all the people who have suffered property losses in the war can go to the political axe to receive compensation, and secondly, all the existing officials at all levels in Yunnan will maintain their original positions and do not make any changes, all officials must fulfill their duties and maintain the normal operation of society, and third, immediately collect the defeated troops in various places, so as not to damage the people!"

Jiang Baili hurriedly nodded and said yes, at this time, the restoration of social order is the most important, so he hurriedly drafted an announcement, it turned out that Qiao Yu's announcement was very timely, at this time, the city of Kunming had fallen into chaos, and Cai Yi barely supported it After returning to Kunming, he fell unconscious.

After Cai Yi fell ill, Yunnan suddenly had no leader, and quickly split into several forces, the first is Gu Pinzhen, he became the first person in the Yunnan army after Cai Yi, holding military power in his hands, and the second force is the pro-Sichuan force represented by Li Mo, the basis of this part of the force is the merchant class in Yunnan, who are eager for Yunnan to implement new policies like Sichuan and support industry and commerce.

The third force is Ren Kecheng, who was originally the leader of the Constitutional Party in Guizhou, and was later transferred to Yunnan by Yuan Shikai to serve as the chief of civil affairs.

Li Mo advocated actively cooperating with Sichuan, punishing war criminals, sweeping away the old bureaucracy, and comprehensively reforming Yunnan's politics, while Ren Kecheng and others hoped to retain their existing power, while Gu Pinzhen wanted to keep the Dian army as a group to the greatest extent and could not disappear.

When the quarrel was inexorable, Qiao Yu's power supply arrived, and the happiest person to see this power call was Ren Kecheng, there is no doubt that this is Qiao Yu's recognition of the continued existence of the Yunnan bureaucracy, since it has not affected his own position, change the master, and Li Mo also knows that the power in his hands is not enough, so he can only temporarily obey, Gu Pinzhen also felt goodwill from the power connection, and did not designate Cai Yi as a war criminal, which means that Qiao Yu still maintains basic respect for the Yunnan army.

It can be said that such a fluttering piece of paper made the various factions in Yunnan give up their opposition and recognize Qiao Yu's status, and the Sichuan army immediately went straight to Kunming without any obstacles, and ten days later Qiao Yu led the main force to Kunming City, Li Mo, Ren Kecheng, Gu Pinzhen and others all greeted outside the city, which was very grand.

"Mr. Li, I have long heard that you are not afraid of power and speak up for the people of Yunnan in the parliament, which is really admirable, and the development of Yunnan will depend more on Mr. Li's wisdom in the future!"

"Jun Zuo praised falsely, it is the duty of the parliamentarians to ask for the people's lives, but they failed to prevent the outbreak of war, and they are really ashamed of the Yunnan fathers!"

"Sir, don't blame yourself too much, everything is over, people always have to look forward, what does General Gu think?"

As soon as Gu Pinzhen heard Qiao Yu point on his head, he hurriedly said: "What Jun Zuo said is very true, and the Dian army will obey Jun Zuo's orders!" ”

"Very well, how is Songpa's condition now?"

Gu Pinzhen was slightly stunned when she heard Qiao Yu ask Cai Yi, and then said truthfully: "Junzuo, Cai Dudu's illness is very heavy, and there is a shortage of doctors and medicines in Kunming, and now I have contacted the hospital in Yueben, hoping to send Cai Dudu to Yueben for treatment, but Cai Dudu hopes to meet Junzuo before going to Yueben!" ”

"Well, let's deal with the affairs of Yunnan first, and I'll go see Songpo immediately!"

Qiao Yu came to Ren Kecheng again, "Mr. Ren, although the Sichuan army has entered Yunnan, the local government affairs cannot be solved by the army, so you should bother more!" ”

Qiao Yu appeased one by one, these people were relieved a lot, respectfully approached Qiao Yu in the city of Kunming, Qiao Yu first came to the parliament, originally those members who asked for sick leave were all here, there is no shortage, everyone is eager to know the new master's governing ideas at this time, this is directly related to everyone's glory and wealth, no one can not be anxious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are all social elites in Yunnan, representing tens of millions of people in Yunnan, the burden on our shoulders is very heavy, Yunnan will rely on your contributions and wisdom in the future, this time there was a war in Sichuan and Yunnan, I don't want to investigate who is right and wrong, I can only say that this is a tragedy, cannibalism, civil war among compatriots, this is the shame of the soldiers, now our main task is to restore order in Yunnan as soon as possible, so that the lives of the people can be stabilized, and the wounds of the war will be healed!"

Qiao Yu's attitude immediately made all the parliamentarians happy, first promising to ensure their interests, and then expressing the attitude of not pursuing the responsibility for the war, so that everyone would not have to worry about being liquidated, so everyone couldn't help but applaud and smile one by one.

"Now the world is changing rapidly, especially the European war has emerged a large number of new technologies, new weapons, it can be said that we are being thrown away by the great powers more and more, if we do not catch up, I am afraid that the Chinese civilization will be lost in the hands of our generation, so the main task of Yunnan is to develop the economy, focus on supporting industry and commerce, training talents, supporting agricultural development, and solve the problem of food as soon as possible, the work we have to do can be said to be a thousand things, However, I think that the first thing to be implemented is the joint development plan of the three southwestern provinces, the first batch of funds of 20 million yuan in Sichuan will be in place immediately, Yunnan must not lag behind in its development, and the people's living standards must also be greatly improved. ”

After Qiao Yu finished speaking, all the parliamentarians were surprised, this is a full 20 million yuan, almost equivalent to Yunnan's financial income for four years, a full astronomical amount, with this start-up fund, Yunnan's economy can definitely develop, of course, more people are thinking about how to make a fortune from this, which is what they often do.

"This war has caused the death of nearly 4,000 soldiers of the Yunnan army, as well as a large number of casualties, coupled with the serious loss of people's property, all need to increase the pension, for this reason I decided to allocate 2 million yuan for the bereavement, 100 yuan for each of the deceased, free school education for the children of the family, 50 yuan for each of the wounded soldiers, all the medical expenses are borne by the political axe, and the people's property must be compensated as soon as possible!"

Although money can't solve all problems, but in this poor and backward, war-torn Republic of China, how many people died is unknown, and the same is true for soldiers, giving compensation is at least recognizing the value of people, life is no longer a mustard, and Qiao Yu can spend a huge amount of money to compensate soldiers or the opponent's army, this hand alone made everyone present extremely admired, and immediately gave Qiao Yu more warm applause.

Qiao Yu is also very satisfied with this effect, if the problem can be solved by money, it is not a problem, what is needed most now is to stop the war and avoid greater casualties, as for the others, it is necessary to solve it next, Qiao Yu has enough ways to toss these people.

The role of the parliamentary speech is very huge, and the various forces in Yunnan either deter Qiao Yu's forces, or want to get more benefits, in short, they are very cooperative and settle down, and at this time Qiao Zhen also came with good news, the army led by him has been stationed in Dali, and the overall situation has been decided.

"Brother Songpa, I didn't expect us to meet again!"

Cai Yi's face was sallow, his chest was heaved together, he looked very uncomfortable, and said in a hoarse voice: "Qiao Shunqing, you win, the southwest is all yours!" ”

"Brother Songpo, as the saying goes, you and I have fought and cooperated, there are contradictions, and there are common pursuits, I think you might as well turn the page of the past, you can recuperate, and after your body recovers, you can still do things for the country, after all, you and I are still young!"

Cai Yi's face showed a look of confusion, and then he smiled bitterly: "Brother Shunqing, I won't do it, but I heard that brother, you said to the officials in Yunnan that each should abide by his duties and do his job, I don't know if this is your sincere words or perfunctory?" ”

"Naturally, it's not true, all industries in Yunnan are depressed, people's livelihood is withering, speaking of which, most of these officials have problems, how can they continue to be powerful!"

"Haha, Qiao Shunqing, you are really cunning, but if you don't even dare to move these bureaucrats, I really look down on you, I still have a few words to say, Yunnan is now suffering from internal and external troubles, the situation is very bad, the people's livelihood is withering at home, the local powerful forces are strong, the opium is very poisonous, although it is located in the frontier externally, but there is no border defense, the British frequently encroach on the border territory, our generation of soldiers can not guard the country, ashamed of this military uniform, Cai is incompetent, there is no ability to protect the golden ou, I only hope that Brother Shunqing can watch the foundation left by the ancestors, be sure not to lose the land! Cai Ye tried his best, and after finishing speaking, there was another burst of wheezing and coughing, and the doctors and nurses hurriedly stepped forward to take care of him.

Qiao Yu naturally knows what Cai Yi said, although modern China has a general border range, but it is not equivalent to actual control, such as the southwest region, the so-called border is the division of the original Tusi's sphere of influence, Tusi respects the central political axe, and the territory they control has become China's territory, but there is no border line, no garrison, how can they ensure that the territory is not lost, so the British have been swallowing and encroaching.

The most lamenting thing for later generations of Chinese was the loss of Jiang Xinpo, a land that fell into the hands of Burma, and now the British have frequently shown their coveting of this territory, but Qiao Yu still has a chance.
