Chapter 141: Intervention
"Detour?" Wang Yaowu and Song Dinghan were stunned for a moment, but they quickly understood the meaning of Yan Guang's words. Originally, the Sichuan army's planned route for the Northern Expedition was from Sichuan to Hubei, and if it was a "detour", it would obviously have to add one more Guizhou and Hunan.
"But boss, the affairs of Guizhou are just their internal affairs, and it's not good for us to intervene for no reason, right?" In fact, at present, Yan Guang and the others only get the news that there was civil strife in Guizhou, Huang Zelin was killed, and Zhang Bailin fled. As for what happened in Guizhou, Cai Yi, who was closest to Guiyang, didn't know, how could they know it when they were far away in Chengdu.
"There is civil strife in Guizhou, and the revolutionaries were killed for no reason, so it's normal for us to help quell the chaos as a neighboring province..." Thinking that he was likely to be the first warlord to own two provinces besides Yuan Shikai, Yan Guang's face also smiled. On behalf of the chaos, if Sun Yat-sen asks and answers like this, what do you think? ”
"But..."
Song Dinghan wanted to say something, but Yan Guang turned his head to the guards on the side. "Go, call Yang Shan and Feng Nan over to me, just say it's urgent, let them run over."
"Yes." Konoe saluted, then turned and left the office.
"Boss, I'm still thinking about it..."Seeing the guards leaving, Song Dinghan continued to persuade. Guizhou is different from Yucheng, and Yucheng is still a city under the jurisdiction of Sichuan, and even if we fight the people of the League, we have nothing to say. But Guizhou is different, Guizhou is a province like us, although I don't know why it has fallen into civil strife now, but if you intervene for no reason, it is easy to provoke criticism from others, and this matter is not to invite Deputy Governor Zhu and others over to discuss and discuss? ”
Although Song Dinghan had been persuading in his ears, Yan Guang was just sitting there, because he had just remembered something at this time. Of course, he didn't remember the details of the civil strife in Guizhou, because the textbooks of later generations did not introduce the civil strife in Guizhou at all, and all he remembered was Tang Jiyao, the warlord who was in charge of Yunnan and Guizhou after Cai Yi, and was also an unlucky guy who was overthrown by his subordinates...
"Tang Jiyao seems to have started because of the Guizhou incident, right? Because of the civil strife in Guizhou, he was embraced as the governor by the gentry of Guizhou, and suddenly changed from an officer under Cai Yi to an equal governor of Guizhou. Thinking so, Yan Guang stood up from his seat. So since Tang Jiyao can do this, why can't I? ”
Thinking of this, Yan Guang spoke. "Hasn't the 2nd Division been preparing for the Northern Expedition? First give them 3 months' military salary in advance, and let them take Guizhou down for me. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Song Dinghan. Ding Han, you are responsible for this matter. ”
"But the boss..."
"I've made up my mind, Ding Han, don't say more..."
Hearing Yan Guang say this, Song Dinghan could only nod and whisper. "Yes, boss..."
Although he had already bowed his head, Song Dinghan was still secretly thinking about how to persuade Yan Guang, after all, intervening in the civil strife in Guizhou requires a long-term consideration, even if the final decision is still the case, at least everyone should be summoned over to discuss it first, rather than a hasty decision by one person.
As for Wang Yaowu? Yan Guang is his boss, but Song Dinghan is also his friend after so many years, so he can only pretend to be a wooden man on this occasion. But in the bottom of his heart, Wang Yaowu still supports Yan Guang.
Just when Song Dinghan was still thinking of ways to dissuade Yan Guang in his mind, Yang Shan and Feng Nan walked in breathlessly. "Governor, we're coming." Looking at the appearance of the two people, I'm afraid they really came running.
Seeing the two people panting and walking in, Yan Guang hurriedly motioned for the two of them to sit down and take a breath first, and waited until the breathing of the two people stabilized before speaking. "You all know everything about Guizhou, right?"
"We already know that." Yan Guang was in such a hurry, and the two of them would naturally ask what was going on on the way, so they had a general understanding of what was going on in Guizhou.
Yan Guang nodded, and then said to Yang Shan. "Yang Shan, how is your division preparing now?"
"It's almost ready, as long as the governor gives you an order, you can set off at any time." Yang Shan said with a little excitement, although the 2nd Division was prepared for the Northern Expedition, everyone knew that this time it was definitely going to Guizhou. Guizhou, the merit of winning a province is enough for him to be promoted to army commander in the future.
Looking at Yang Shan's excited appearance, Feng Nan could only sit on the side and look at him with envy. Because Yan Guang's meaning is already very clear, it will be the 2nd Division that will be used this time. Although Feng Nan is now officially in charge of the 1st Division, and his rank has changed from colonel to major general, the 1st Division has just been established, and there are too many recruits and there are many deficiencies. Although the situation in Guizhou is also chaotic now, it is obviously unrealistic to let a group of recruits occupy a province.
However, Feng Nan also had a little fantasy, such as "Does the governor want me to go to Guizhou with Yang Shan?" "Something like that...
Not knowing what Feng Nan was thinking in his head, Yan Guang continued to say to Yang Shan. "I'll ask Minister Song to give you 3 months' military salary in advance, remember, I don't care who is making trouble in Guizhou, I just want you to take Guizhou in the shortest possible time." When Yan Guang said this, he obviously did not intend to hide his intentions.
"Yes!"
"Guizhou is mountainous, if you want to get involved in the civil strife quickly, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring that artillery battalion in..."Yan Guang touched his chin. The arsenal has already produced more than 10 mortars, this time you can bring those mortars over, I am asking the arsenal to send some technicians to come with you, just take this opportunity to test the surname of the mortar. ”
Yang Shan was overjoyed when he heard this, Guizhou is mountainous, and he is worried about how to bring the artillery camp in. "Thank you, Governor."
"And Feng Nan..."
"Huh?" Feng Nan, who was in the middle of the fantasy, was stunned for a moment, but he still replied quickly. "Humble duty."
"You immediately take a team of people to Guangxi and give me Zhang Bailin" please "come back to Sichuan..."Yan Guang thought about it and continued. "You can tell him that as long as he is willing to come to Sichuan, I will help him sit in the position of governor. If he doesn't want to come, you can "invite" him back. ”
"Humble duty understands." Feng Nan said excitedly, although this credit may not be as beautiful as the one in Yang Mountain, but if it is completed, it will at least not be too bad, and it is already a rare task for Feng Nan.
Ignoring the excited Yang Shan and Feng Nan, Yan Guang smiled at Song Dinghan. "Well, so there's no problem..."
