Chapter 44: Chaos (Part II)

With so many things put together, what a "messy" word.

Fang Jianxiong actually hates this situation, and it is too nerve-wracking. At present, a bunch of things within the United Autonomous Region have not been properly handled, and it is easy to lead troops to fight, but it is difficult to govern the localities. Fang Dashuai is basically the shopkeeper, not to mention how much progress the society has, if he can maintain local stability, and some policies that benefit the people can be implemented to a certain extent, then it is good.

Originally, he was worried about dragging the overall situation by borrowing the Qing room's refusal to abdicate, but unexpectedly, Lao Yuan was ruthless and directly played a mutiny. This old bastard, this hand is really ruthless and beautiful. Fang Jianxiong didn't expect that even if it was over, Sun Cannon was also caught off guard.

However, Lao Yuan can be regarded as tearing off the last layer of fig leaf, and now there is no movement, in fact, the northern provinces don't know what will happen. Fang Dashuai has an average history, and he remembers that after Song Jiaoren was assassinated, there was a second revolution in the south.

Now this history has been out of shape a lot, and Fang Jianxiong is also confused, anyway, what he knows is a rough idea.

Zheng Quan continued to report that during the Changsha Rebellion, many members of the Economic Intelligence Bureau were in the rebel ranks. However, they are all grassroots officers, and none of them have heavy troops. No matter which angle you look at, Fang Jianxiong does not allow Hunan to be in chaos, Hunan can be said to be on the back of Hubei, it is difficult to control the chaos, and it is enough to develop in any direction.

The incident of sending troops to Chongqing taught Fang Jianxiong a very vivid lesson. China is still too big, and it is difficult to achieve the reunification of China by force alone. Historically, Yuan Shikai was politically and militarily together, and at the same time, there were also reasons why the revolutionary party itself was politically naïve and financially powerless, so Lao Yuan nominally unified China. Subsequently, Yuan Shikai was proclaimed emperor. This trick really stinks. According to Fang Jianxiong's understanding, even if you are the president of the Republic of China for a lifetime, you will have a day when you hang up, right? The people below have a hope, you are the emperor, doesn't this cut off the road for everyone to be the first person in the country?

Or how could Yuan Shikai's congregation betray his relatives and leave, and the world will spurn him? The people of the former Qing Dynasty scolded him for living Cao Cao, and the revolutionary party wanted to overthrow the imperial system by force, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui's nephew, and Cao Kun. Which one doesn't want to learn from Lao Yuan. Have a presidential addiction?

Yuan Shikai is the emperor, and there are several bigwigs with heavy troops, and there is no one who does not object in his heart. After all the hard work to kill the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you continued to engage in the imperial system, which made everyone have no hope! Therefore, after Cai Ye jumped out to protect the country. The betrayal of Feng and Duan under Yuan Shikai is the reason why Lao Yuan died in history.

In any case, the Hunan Rebellion was an opportunity. Let's put it somewhere else first.

After listening to the report, Fang Jianxiong also hesitated, did he really want to send troops to Hunan? Usually I keep saying that I want peace.

Seeing the big handsome hesitate. Zheng Quan had already prepared, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Do you still remember that Cheng Qian?" ”

"Well, it's a little impressive, it seems that Tan Yanmin has been here twice, how do you remember to mention him?" Fang Jianxiong asked casually. I continued to think in my head, should I send troops immediately? Or just wait a minute and let Tan Yanmin ask for help?

Zheng Quan stepped forward, leaned closer and whispered, "Cheng Qian is here again." Fang Jianxiong was obviously stunned, and turned his head to look at Zheng Quan.

"He's here on behalf of Tan Yanhong." Worried about the misunderstanding, Zheng Quan hurriedly explained, Fang Jianxiong nodded and motioned for Zheng Quan to continue. "Tan Yanmin fled to Yueyang, plus the original defenders, there are probably more than 10,000 people. However, there is a huge shortage of armaments, and now Tan Yanmin has sent a telegram to other states and counties, asking for troops to be sent to quell the rebellion. There were five divisions in Hunan, two of which were now crippled and one of them mutinied. There was a third division on Yueyang's side, with more than 8,000 people, and it was staring at Wuchang. Changde also has a fourth division, more than 6,000 people. ”

"Oh, he's planning to put down the rebellion himself?" Fang Jianxiong sneered twice, Zheng Quan stepped forward slightly and said, "It's all at this juncture, can you still let him?" It's better to see this Cheng Songyun and let him go back with a message. Breaking the idea of the surname Tan, by the way, I am reminding the surname Tan, you can also support the Changsha side. ”

Well? Fang Jianxiong was overjoyed, and looked at Zheng Quan with appreciative eyes, the meaning is obvious, this method is vicious enough, I like it!

"Well, let's go to Jiangxi first, let Lin Huaichuan send Jiangxi's new first division to Hunan, and then telegraph Fang Zhenwu in Wuchang that the eighth division will conduct a military exercise and march towards Yueyang." Fang Jianxiong can still be arbitrary in this matter, anyway, he will scare people.

Yin Ruizhi finished recording and went out, Fang Jianxiong sat down very strictly in the study, Zheng Quan went out willingly, and in less than ten minutes, he led Cheng Qian in. Fang Dashuai was very busy, working at the desk. Zheng Quan coughed, and Fang Dashuai glanced up and said, "Mr. Zheng is here, just wait." ”

Continuing to pretend to be busy for a while, Fang Jianxiong just put down the pen in his hand, screwed the lid, and complained in his heart that the current fountain pen was really troublesome, and he had to fill the ink and screw the lid. After secretly complaining, Fang Dashuai showed a sincere smile, pretending to be very surprised, and said, "Isn't this Cheng Songyun, the representative of Tan Du?" How? Is Tan Dudu okay? I also learned about the Changsha incident, and the whole country has been electrified to denounce the rebellion. ”

"Fang Shuai, I'm here for the sake of Changsha." Cheng Qian stepped forward to say Yan sù, Fang Jianxiong also nodded with Yan sù, pointed to the chair and said, "It's hard all the way, sit down and talk slowly." ”

Cheng Qian sat down, Fang Jianxiong also poured two glasses of water with his own hands and put them in the hands of Zheng Quan and Cheng Qian.

"Drink water first, take a breath and speak slowly."

Cheng Qian drank the water, put down the cup and said, "Fang Shuai, save the people of Changsha." The fire burned all night, and none of the rich families in the city were spared, and the soldiers burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. Tan Shuai's family, old and young, were escorted out of the city by the guards, so they were spared. ”

"How did this happen?" Fang Jianxiong frowned, looking very unruly.

Cheng Qian explained: "That night, Mei Xin took a concubine and held a feast. It was at this opportunity that the rebels launched, and at one o'clock in the morning, they suddenly attacked. When the gunfire reached the Governor's Office, the lowly officials hurriedly gathered the guards, escorted Tan Dudu out of the city first, and then returned to the city to gather troops, the remnants of the first and fifth divisions had already withdrawn from Changsha. ”

Fang Jianxiong was silent, but he was pondering this matter in his heart. Historically, it seems that Cheng Qian is not very capable of fighting, and it can be seen from this incident that the first thing that Nima thought of was to protect Tan Yanmin's family from the city, you are 2 or 2. The early stage of this kind of thing is the best time to eradicate it. Take the main force of the guard to the streets, and will not call the troops to counterattack? The transfer of Tan Yanmin's family can be bigger than this matter?

Anyway, this Cheng Qianfang Jianxiong's mental score dropped very quickly.

Cheng Qian saw that Fang Jianxiong was silent, so it was difficult to continue, and after waiting for a while, Fang Jianxiong smiled at him and said, "You go on, what do you ask for Tan Dudu to shoot you?" ”

Cheng Qian's face showed shame, lowered his head and said: "Governor Tan hopes that Fang Shuai can fund a batch of ordnance to Yueyang, and when he takes it back to Changsha and quells the rebellion, he will definitely thank Fang Shuai." ”

Fang Jianxiong laughed out loud when he heard this, laughed and didn't speak, but walked to the door, lit a cigarette, and didn't say anything for a long time. Zheng Quan sighed and said: "Governor Tan has embarrassed the marshal, the United Autonomous Region is not a military government, and now it costs a copper plate, and it has to be passed by the United Council." This is no longer the case. ”

Cheng Qian also lost his voice, whether this is true or false is not investigated, the previous thoughts will definitely not work.

"Mr. Zheng, you take Songyun down to rest first, and then I'll think about it carefully." Fang Jianxiong was quite polite, Zheng Quan led Cheng Qian away, and when he arrived at the officer at the edge of the Wuhu command headquarters, Cheng Qian's face suddenly changed.

Zheng Quan was obviously stunned, and saw Liu Yutang leading a person in front of him who was going through the accommodation procedures. Xindao, it can't be so coincidental, right? Sure enough, Cheng Qian immediately stopped and said, "Mr. Zheng, I want to live in Wuhu City, and it is convenient to contact Yueyang." ”

"It's easy to do." Zheng Quan agreed very simply, led people out, and went to Wuhu City. As soon as Cheng Qian was settled, Zheng Quan found an excuse to leave. After a short time, the people who stayed behind to monitor saw Cheng sneak out of the hotel and hurried to the telegraph office.

When Zheng Quan came back to report, Fang Jianxiong was also surprised. Liu Yutang should be in Wuchang, why did he come to Wuhu? Hurriedly picked up the phone and asked the General Staff Officer, and soon Jiang Baili answered the phone and explained: "Liu Yutang is here to study, a senior officer training class. Isn't that what you asked for? Is it compulsory for officers above the regimental level to take turns to train for one week every six months? This is only the first issue. For this textbook, my hair has been boiled white. ”

"Mr. Zheng, you send someone to inquire and see who is coming with Liu Yutang." Fang Jianxiong explained, and Zheng Quan was ordered to go out. Yin Ruizhi sent a telegram in, Fang Jianxiong took it and saw that it was from Shanghai, and Chen Qimei also submitted his resignation to the provisional government after President Sun Da submitted his resignation message. The arson case in Guantianxia occurred in the concession, and the military government did not intervene to investigate it at all.

"Call Zhao Yi and ask him to check what kind of way this view of the world is." Fang Jianxiong is still very concerned about this matter. The importance of the media has always been valued by Fang Dashuai. This small newspaper shook out the big news, and then let people put out the fire, and it was full of strangeness. It is certain that it was not the Shanghai Navy that did it, and it was a fool to do this.

So who would do it? Fang Jianxiong's mind was a little messy, there were too many things, and it was really difficult to solve them together.

How can we get the most out of the chaos and how to occupy a dominant position in this three-way game? These are all very real problems in front of us.

When Fang Jianxiong hadn't come up with a clue about these things, Yin Weijun's face, which had always been elongated recently, appeared at the door: "Sister Lin, they have all arrived, are you going to see them?" (To be continued) RQ
