Chapter 284: Declaration of War
It takes a lot of courage to publicly accuse Cai Ye in the parliament, especially Cai Ye has now made it clear that he is ready to fight hard with Sichuan, so disobedient to Cai Yi's idea, there will definitely be no good end, but the person in front of him will definitely not be afraid of Cai Yi, his name is Li Mo, he was born as a Jinshi in the former Qing Dynasty, that is the leader of Yunnan's education circles, and later went abroad several times to investigate, can be called the first person in Yunnan constitutionalism, and made great efforts during the Xinhai Revolution, when Tang Jiyao was in power, Li Mo often scolded Tang Jiyao, made Tang Dudu very faceless, but he couldn't help him.
This time Li Mo stood up again, "Cai Dudu, Qiao Xunyue took out the original development of the economy of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in one breath, of which Yunnan can get 230 million yuan, what a huge amount of money, of which 30 million yuan is used to develop education, and the rest is the development of industry and agriculture, as long as Yunnan gets this funding, the level of economic development will definitely be improved to a higher level, and the living standards of the people will also be greatly improved, but you are an out-and-out sinner because of your own selfishness to obstruct this great good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, you are an out-and-out sinner. Tens of millions of people in Yunnan are watching! ”
"Mr. Li, you are highly respected, I respect you very much, but you have to think more about what you say, who will hand over a lot of silver to you for no reason, there must be a conspiracy in it, you have to guard against it, don't you understand" Cai Ye is also extremely patient with Li Mo's thorn head, if you can, Cai Ye would like to shoot this guy directly with a gun, but Cai Ye just thought about it, after all, Li Mo is too famous to kill at all.
"Cai Yi, Cai Songpo! Sichuan must have a plot, but the plot is your Cai Yi's position, but the plot is above board, people can make the Yunnan fathers live better, if you can get 230 million yuan to develop the economy, you will fight against Sichuan, but unfortunately you can't, you can only bring war to Yunnan, let the Yunnan fathers and elders suffer the devastation of war, you are not worthy of leading Yunnan Province at all, and now you don't abdicate quickly to make way for Xian, you are a warlord with a desire for profit! ”
Li Mo scolded more and more, Cai Ye's face also turned red, Li Mo is not messing around, but every sentence is said to everyone's heart, Cai Ye has no ability to develop Yunnan's economy, he should abdicate and make way for Xian, and now Cai Ye is thinking about himself under the banner of thinking about the people of Yunnan.
Li Mo's words were like dagger knives, which just hit Cai Yi's sore spot, so that he couldn't get off the stage at all, "Arrest him for me!" ”
Cai Ye has noticed that many of the parliamentarians present have been moved by Li Mo's words, in fact, for these people, it makes no difference who dominates Yunnan, Qiao Yu is here, and everyone's benefits may be more, Cai Ye knows that once people's hearts change, the impact on themselves will be fatal, so Cai Ye had to order Li Mo to be arrested.
Li Mo was taken away by the guards, and his mouth didn't stop: "Colleagues, everyone has the high hopes of the elders of Yunnan, and you must not be bought by this warlord leader, and you can't let him do whatever he wants!" ”
Although Li Mo was taken away, but his words still echoed in the venue, all the parliamentarians couldn't stop thinking, at this time, someone suddenly sent a piece of paper to Cai Yi's hands, Cai Ye opened it and looked at it, and suddenly his mind was dizzy, it turned out that this was an order of the Beiyang political axe, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces were removed from the position of governor, and the southwest military affairs were returned to the southwest to make Qiao Yu commander, and Cai Ye and Zhang Bailin were reappointed as governors!
This paper order is tantamount to a bombshell falling on Cai Yi's head, although the emperor of Yunnan Tiangao is far away, although Beiyang is extremely weak, but this order still allows Qiao Yu to get the name of righteousness, and it is also telling Cai Yi that Beiyang Political Axe has reached a compromise with Qiao Yu, and Cai Ye does not need to expect Beiyang to contain Qiao Yu at all.
Luo Peijin, Li Gengen and others beside Cai Ye also found out that after Cai Ye received the information, his body shook for a while, and they knew that this was definitely not a good thing, and they became more and more worried in their hearts, they shared the honor and disgrace with Cai Ng, they were grasshoppers tied to a rope, and Cai Ye must withstand this critical moment!
Cai Ye finally stabilized his figure, his eyes were slightly bloodshot, and he glanced at the parliamentarians present: "You are all from Yunnan, you should speak for Yunnan, Li Mo and his ilk have become Qiao Yu's lackeys, the southwest tour made Qiao Yu disregard the interests of the people of Yunnan, and forcibly sent soldiers into Europe to participate in the war. ”
After a few words, all the parliamentarians were stunned, at first they thought that Cai Ye was just against it, but they didn't expect Cai Ye to be so bold, and to read in disguise, it was really unexpected, could it be that Cai Ye chose to fight a war?
While all the councillors were thinking, Cai Ye waved his hand, and hundreds of soldiers rushed in, and the bright bayonets were pointed at everyone present.
"You're all smart people, make a choice!" Cai Yi's cold voice came out, and the hearts of all the councillors were beating wildly, no one is a fool, if they don't agree now, they are afraid that there will be a few more transparent holes in their bodies, so the councillors chose to obey very smartly, but then many councillors began to get sick.
Cai Ye had little energy to deal with these wall-riding factions, and now he was preparing for war with all his might, hoarding food and ammunition, and at the same time generating electricity in the name of the Yunnan Provincial Council, rejecting development plans and disarmament demands, in addition to this, Cai Ye also publicly telegraphed against the order to change the governor to the governor.
Although Cai Ye did not shout the slogan of inter-provincial autonomy, it was almost the same as reading, Qiao Yu, who was in Chengdu, had already been reported, and Li Mo scolded Cai Ye in the parliament Qiao Yu also knew, and even Qiao Yu knew that Cai Ye's sore throat had become more and more serious recently, and he often had insomnia at night.
"Brother Baili, Cai Songpo still chose war, I thought he was still an interesting person, but now it seems that he doesn't know whether to live or die!"
"Junzuo, Songpo is very arrogant, and not as focused on military affairs as me, when he was studying abroad, Cai Yi admired Napoleon the most, advocating strongman politics, people like him will not compromise and surrender, and there are people like Liang Qichao to help him run everywhere, Junzuo wants to surrender without a fight is still a little difficult!"
"Since this is the case, there is only a battle, how do you think this battle should be fought?"
Jiang Baili frowned slightly, pointed to the southwest map in front of him with his hand and said: "Junzuo, although the Yunnan army is known as a strong army, the financial resources and equipment cannot compete with the Sichuan army, the original Sichuan army must be the winner of the game, but the Yunnan army still has a big weapon in its hands, that is, the geographical advantages of Yunnan, Yunnan has many mountainous areas, ravines and ravines, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient, the heavy equipment of our army is difficult to transport, and the air force is also difficult to find a suitable airport, and the combat power will be seriously weakened, and what is even more troublesome is that Yunnan is mixed with ethnic groups and various local forces are intricate, extremely xenophobic, it may not be easy for the Sichuan army to enter Yunnan to fight! ”
After Jiang Baili finished speaking, Qiao Yu nodded again and again, it is not unreasonable for the Dian army to be able to dominate in the history of the Republic of China by virtue of a poor and weak Yunnan, the geographical advantage is too great, if the Dian army plays guerrilla warfare, the Sichuan army really has no certainty of victory.
"Brother Baili, this march into Yunnan must be quickly resolved, the unification of the southwest is absolutely irreversible, and the European battlefield has reached a critical moment, Verdun is bleeding, we should also send troops into Europe, in the most difficult time to pull the French along, the next one is easier to recover all kinds of power.!"
The decisive battle of Sichuan and Yunnan has been irreversible, and the generals of the Sichuan army have basically gathered in Chengdu, in fact, everyone's hearts have long been prepared.
"Marshal, raising soldiers for a thousand years is a while, and the previous war to protect the country was not enjoyable, this time let's see how capable Cai Ye is!" Han Yong was the first to speak, and the others did the same, shouting and beating one after another.
Warlike is a fine tradition of the military, Qiao Yu was naturally happy to see that his generals were not afraid of war, "Everyone, this attack on Yunnan will be divided into three directions, the West Route Army is under the command of Qiao Zhen, from the Sichuan Special Zone into the mountainous area of northwest Yunnan, here is a mixed land of various ethnic groups, the control of the Yunnan army is not strong, after our army enters, on the one hand, we must contain the Yunnan army, on the other hand, we must appease the local forces, and avoid the local Tusi forces from falling to Cai Yi."
The East Route Army was dominated by the Guizhou Army, plus a division of the Sichuan Army, totaling 24,000 people, sent troops from Guiyang, with Han Yong as the commander and Wu Tong as the chief of staff, mainly attacking Fuyuan and Qujing, and assisting the main force to attack Kunming.
This time, the main force was the middle route army, a total of three main divisions, plus heavy artillery troops, tank brigades, and thirty aircraft, sent troops from southern Sichuan, directly attacked Zhaotong, and approached Kunming! ”
Qiao Yu briefly explained the layout of the battle, and everyone listened carefully, this kind of arrangement can only be regarded as decent, but everyone also knows that now the Sichuan army is to win with strength, there is no need to play any tricks, I just want to fight with you and see how the Dian army resists!
The pre-war preparations are far from being able to be said in a few words, after Qiao Yu determined the general direction, the huge war system of the Sichuan army began to operate, reorganize the army, transport grain and grass weapons, and formulate a detailed battle plan, these Qiao Yu do not need to participate, his task now is to fight a war of words and electrify everywhere.
"Yunnan Governor Cai Yi Songpo is greedy for power, does not respect the political axe, disregards the well-being of the people, rejects the southwest development plan, claims to be the will of the people, but in fact uses strong coercion to coerce parliamentarians, undermine the law, and behave no different from warlords, and should be exterminated, I propose to immediately establish the Southwest United Council, authorize this patrol envoy, use force to expel Cai Ye and his henchmen, and unify the military and political affairs of the southwest, our army is not belligerent, nor is it deliberately to destroy peace, but we cannot tolerate Yunnan to become the kingdom of reading, and Cai Ye is not allowed to become the emperor of the soil!"
Qiao Yu made a speech in the parliament, not only the parliamentarians of Sichuan, but also the parliamentarians of Guizhou, as well as some of the social elites and businessmen in Yunnan who were dissatisfied with Cai Yi, they were already tied to the interests of Sichuan.
