After Yu Peilun experienced the Huanghuagang Uprising, he walked a circle between life and death, his ideas were very different from before, although the blood was still the same, but he was also more pragmatic, after arriving in Sichuan, he felt the great changes in Sichuan, and he was also extremely impressed by Qiao Yu in his heart, and the reform points he grasped were too accurate, the four things that were related to people's livelihood were the most urgent content, and it can be said that Qiao Yu was able to become the ruler of Sichuan not by his army, but by the people's hearts brought by the new deal.

Since the people's hearts are on Qiao Yu's side, it will be extremely difficult for the alliance to seize power from others, so Yu Peilun thought about it when he entered Sichuan, hoping to cooperate with Qiao Yu to carry out the revolution in Sichuan, and at the same time try to support other provinces, and Xiong Kewu raised the issue of military power at this time, undoubtedly to compete with Qiao Yu, which is easy to cause misunderstanding between the two sides, so Yu Peilun hurriedly said: "Shunqing, we have no intention of seizing power, these people's troops are still trained by you, I just hope that when you stabilize the overall situation of Sichuan, you can send troops to aid Hubei and the Northern Expedition to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Brother Jinfan and I are willing to be a pawn and cheer for you! ”

Qiao Yu also kept thinking in his heart, military power must not be touched by the people of the Alliance, but now that Xiong Kewu came with Sun Huang's order, it was not good to refute it rashly, but Qiao Yu thought about it and suddenly had an idea.

"Brother Yun Ji, do you think this is good, the militia near Chengdu was originally reorganized by my people, and now it will all be handed over to you and Mr. Xiong to collect, and you can collect as much as you can, but you can't give an official number yet, the main officials and parliamentarians of the military and political axes are still on the way to Chengdu, and the matter of expanding the army has to be decided by everyone, and it can't be arbitrary, but let me give you a guarantee, I absolutely support the aid to the three towns of Wuhan, and I also support the Northern Expedition to the Manchu Dynasty!"

When Yu Peilun heard that Qiao Yu actually promised them to collect the militia, he was also overjoyed, you must know that there are at least twenty or thirty thousand militiamen within a few dozen miles outside Chengdu, if you can control this force in your hands, it will also be a huge help for the Alliance!

"Shunqing, I thank you in advance!" After the discussion was completed, Yu Peilun and the three of them left Qiao Yu's barracks, but Yang Shukan frowned, obviously preoccupied.

"Two, in my opinion, Qiao Yu is a cunning person, how can he easily divide the military power, we must be careful not to fall for him!"

When Xiong Kewu heard Yang Shukan say this, he immediately felt a little disdainful, "Cangbai, are you a continuous failure, and you were scared by Qiao Yu?" We came here on the instructions of the two gentlemen Sun and Huang, and now the Manchu Qing is about to be overthrown, and then the two gentlemen will be the president and the leader, no matter how bold Qiao Yu is, he will not dare not listen, I don't think there is any need to worry! ”

Yang Shukan also hated Xiong Kewu's condescending posture very much, and the surname Suo stopped talking, but Yu Peilun listened to Yang Shukan's words, he remembered very clearly what he and Qiao Yu said when they broke up, Qiao Yu had no real respect for those revolutionary leaders, he was able to allow himself to gather the army, I was afraid that there was really something in his heart.

Yu Peilun thought about it carefully, but didn't find anything wrong, so the surname Suo temporarily put aside his doubts and joined Xiong Kewu to gather the people's army.

As soon as Qiao Yu sent Yu Peilun and the three of them away, someone came to visit again, this time Qiao Yu took the initiative to greet him, and when he arrived at the door, he saw a tall middle-aged man standing in front of the door, looking very deferential, Qiao Yu hurriedly walked a few steps and grabbed the hand of the visitor.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I don't dare to enter the city easily if you don't come!"

"The Governor laughed, came down to take refuge, and asked the Governor to enjoy food!"

The name of the person is Zhu Qinglan, is the commander of the seventeenth town of the Sichuan New Army, equivalent to the division commander, is a person with real power, in the original history of Sichuan in the Xinhai Revolution set up two military and political axes, one is the Shu military and political axe, the other is the Han Sichuan military and political axe, Zhu Qinglan once served as the deputy governor of the Han Sichuan military and political axe, but with the rise of Qiao Yu, Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun did not dare to set up another political axe, but Zhu Qinglan held the new army of the seventeenth town, and he was also one of the powerful factions.

When Qiao Yubing entered Chengdu, he sent someone to contact him, and Zhu Qinglan's situation was not good, after all, the army under his command had to be dealt with by him, and Pu Dianjun and others were at odds with him, so Zhu Qinglan also urgently needed to find a new backer, so he naturally hit it off with Qiao Yu, and the two walked into the barracks hand in hand.

Zhu Qinglan is a native of Shandong, very tall, and upright, a typical Shandong man, Zhu Qinglan is old in the army, and he can't stop watching around as soon as he enters the barracks.

"Qiao Du really has a law to govern the army, and his subordinates can be called elite, and the seventeen towns are beyond their reach!"

"Zhu is polite, the 17th town is the earliest new army in Sichuan, and its combat power has been recognized, and the contribution to the control is not small!"

The two of them walked into the guest room with a smile, and after the seat was finished, Zhu Qinglan went straight in: "Qiao Du, I came to take refuge with you this time, and I hope you will take it in!" ”

"Zhu Tongzhi is polite, can you help me, I can't ask for it, but I don't know what the situation of the new army is now? How much can you control? ”

"To be honest, I can control more than one-third of it, you also know the situation in the Seventeen Towns, the training has not been smooth, and some people were brought to Yunnan by Xiliang, and later, although they barely put up the shelf, there were many old troops in the patrol battalion and many people who would know the party, and the composition was very complicated, and now the new army is divided into three parts, one part listens to me, one listens to Pu Dianjun, and some is in the hands of Yin Changheng!"

Qiao Yu listened to Zhu Qinglan's introduction, nodded slightly, and said that Yin Changheng was also a character, and Zhao Erfeng died at his hands later, Qiao Yu thought about it a little: "Zhu Tongzhi, what is your biggest difficulty now?" ”

"Lack of money, since the Baolu Movement, the army has been constantly mobilized, but the military salary has not been settled, and now the salary is generally in arrears for three or four months!"

"Well, Zhu will officially enter Chengdu tomorrow and control the overall situation, now I will allocate 200,000 yuan to you, temporarily pay the soldiers first, and wait until the situation is stable, and the arrears will be paid together!" However, Zhu has to think of more ways to stabilize the situation in Chengdu, don't make a mess, the people will suffer from war after the road protection movement, and then Sichuan will usher in a period of great development, and we must not damage the vitality again! ”

Zhu Qinglan nodded vigorously: "Qiao Du, now there is a saying called autonomy, Pu Dianjun and others promote the Sichuan people to govern Sichuan, which is very popular!" ”

Qiao Yu knew what he thought as soon as he heard Zhu Qinglan talk about this, he was not from Sichuan, and regional issues were quite sensitive in this era, especially the local autonomy advocated by the revolutionary party, which magnified regional differences a lot, and gradually became a high-sounding excuse.

In Qiao Yu's view, there is no problem with local autonomy, after all, China is so big, the gap between different places is too big, it is difficult to cut across the board, but local autonomy is just a distribution of power, and it cannot be deviated and turned into an act of excluding people from other provinces, which will only divide China.

"Zhu Tongzhi, it doesn't matter where the people are, as long as you can think about Sichuan and understand the situation in Sichuan, you can have both ability and political integrity is the talent that Sichuan needs, you don't have any ideological baggage!"

Zhu Qinglan got Qiao Yu's assurance, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and went back to the city directly with the silver dollar, and the next day the city gate of Chengdu was opened, the streets were swept clean, military and political dignitaries, and elites from all walks of life gathered in the city center, according to the prior arrangement Qiao Yu's army will hold a military parade here, and then Governor Qiao will make a speech!

At less than eight o'clock, the square was surrounded by citizens who came to see the excitement, and at nine o'clock in ten minutes, a group of horse troops came from far and near, carrying a large banner to the city!
