In 92, the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, the year-end drinking party was held in western Sichuan, and the ministers and deputy ministers of the cabinet ministries, the governors and vice governors of the provinces, the military commanders and deputy commanders, division commanders, deputy division commanders, brigade commanders, and deputy brigade commanders, except for those who remained behind, rushed to Chengdu, brought their families, and participated in the annual drinking party. Usually everyone is busy, and it is difficult to have time to get together, and meeting everyone at the end of the year can also promote the development of everyone's relationship.

Wang Xiao also appeared at the reception, but he stayed for less than half an hour, delivered a New Year's speech, toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and left. His body is getting worse and worse now, and he doesn't know how long he can drag it out.

However, Wang Yuze participated in the whole process. In addition, it became the center of the cocktail party. Wang Yuze also took advantage of this reception to communicate with senior government officials and military bigwigs. Even if he is a young marshal, even if he can successfully take over the scepter of power in Sichuanxi, but without the support of these people, it is impossible for him to manage Sichuanxi well.

"Hubei belongs to the salient part of western Sichuan, and it is under the pressure of the Manchus on three sides. At the same time, if we go to war with the Manchus again, it will also be a bridgehead for us to attack the Manchus. Therefore, the defense of Hubei is very important, and Yu Ze will ask the generals! Wang Yuze said to several soldiers, these people all have shining gold stars on their shoulders, and they are the commanders of several divisions stationed in Hubei.

"The young marshal is strict, as soldiers, we naturally have the responsibility to defend the land. Whether it is defending Hubei or attacking the Manchus, our Fourth Division is by no means ambiguous! A middle-aged major general with a rough face and about forty years old said. He was none other than Major General Cheng Anguo, the commander of the Fourth Division.

"Lao Cheng, what you said is not right. Could it be that your fourth division is good, but our fifth division is not a good seed? A middle-aged young general with an eight-character beard and an elegant appearance said dissatisfied. He was Lu Chengzhi, the commander of the Fifth Division. Soldiers have always been competitive and aggressive, and this is inevitable.

"Alright. Everybody. Everybody's doing well. Hubei is the most important part of the strategy of western Sichuan, and I hope that you can work together to defend Hubei. I would like to toast you all! "Wang Yuze, the two of them have a tendency to fight. Hurriedly interjected, and then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

The generals were also unambiguous, and drank all the wine in their cups in one gulp.

After that, Wang Yuze got rid of these veteran ruffians. Go to the place where the civil servants gathered. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be directly drunk by these guys. The civilian faction is relatively much better, and they drink red wine, not as heroic as the military. Everyone talked about politics and chatted at the same time. It's also a pleasure.

"Uncles, Yu Ze has given you New Year's greetings, and I wish you good health and all the best in the New Year!" Wang Yuze smiled at everyone and said to everyone.

"Haha, I also wish the young marshal a happy New Year!" Everyone responded enthusiastically. Everyone can conclude that Wang Xiao's body is getting worse and worse, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the young marshal will become a big marshal. It is also very necessary to have a good relationship with the young marshal now.

Next. Wang Yuze had a long exchange with these provincial governors and vice governors. In particular, Wang Yuze urged the governors and vice governors of those provinces that are poor after all to come up with practical measures to properly improve the living standards of the local people next year. In Wang Yuze's life, if the country wants to be rich and strong, it must first let the common people enjoy the benefits of the country's prosperity and strength. Otherwise. The country is rich and strong, but the people can't eat enough? Isn't this self-deception?

For Wang Yuze's words. Everybody takes it very seriously. In addition, everyone is also very satisfied with Wang Yuze's attention to the lives of ordinary people. These people have basically received feudal cultural education, even after devoting themselves to western Sichuan, they have changed a lot, but they still have the idea of a holy monarch in their minds. And Wang Yuze's expression, when they came, is undoubtedly very much in line with this. Therefore, everyone is very good to Wang Yuze and to the western Sichuan under his leadership.

The reception lasted until 2 p.m. At the end, many military bigwigs drank down. These soldiers, in peacetime, rarely see each other, but now that everyone is together, it is natural to let go of their arms and drink. Compared with the civilian faction, it is much better, at most it is just blushing because of drinking too much, and there is no one who has drunk and fallen. For this kind of gaffe of these warriors, the civil officials generally shook their heads. However, nothing was said. They also know the temper of these soldiers. There are also contradictions between civil officials and military generals in western Sichuan, but they are much smaller. Everyone knows that the world in western Sichuan was fought by military generals, but it is the credit of civil officials to govern western Sichuan well. The two of them are interdependent and indispensable. There was no infighting, and everyone was able to cooperate with each other, which allowed Kawanishi to prosper.

On Chinese New Year's Eve the next day, the tour was very lively. Wang Yuze took several wives to Wang Xiao to pay New Year's greetings, and Wang Xiao was very happy. Especially after a few months, Wang Yuze's eldest lady Xiong Menghan's belly has bulged, which makes Wang Xiao's old face smile like a chrysanthemum. After Sichuan West has a post, his son has an outstanding appearance, he has worked hard all his life, and he has finally reported something, what is not satisfied?

During the Spring Festival, Wang Yuze inevitably visited relatives and friends, the Xiong family and the Yang family were must-go, and the Zhou family did not return to China for the New Year, so they couldn't go. But Wang Yuze also sent them a telegram, wishing his father-in-law and mother-in-law good health and all the best, and so on.

The Spring Festival in western Sichuan did not end until the eighth day of the new year. On the ninth day of the new year, the government department began to officially go to work. After that, western Sichuan entered a stage of rapid development. Last year, western Sichuan made a lot of financial investment, coupled with the war reparations and the stimulation of private capital, and this year western Sichuan will inevitably take off.

In addition, the harmony between western Sichuan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has also dragged on for so long. For this reason, the Cabinet sent a special delegation to Beijing to discuss the matter. The Manchu Qing Dynasty married Gege to Sichuan West and his relatives, which is already known to the world. If it keeps dragging, what does this make the world do?

However, Wang Yuze did not have the leisure to pay attention to these, spring is coming, the Second Cavalry Army is about to march into Xinjiang, Wang Yuze mainly focuses on this. After a winter's rest, the 2nd Cavalry Corps had recovered to its heyday. In addition, the logistics department gave priority to replenishing them, and now the Second Cavalry Army is already strong and strong, and after the ice and snow melt, it can launch an attack on Xinjiang.

Time passed slowly, and all walks of life in western Sichuan have entered the development of Susù. The training of the army has not been relaxed, and everyone has maintained a high level of tension. This year, the plan of the western Sichuan military, in addition to marching into Xinjiang, is to take Guangxi. By next autumn at the latest, the fleet will return home. At that time, if there are no supporting facilities such as military ports and shipyards, how can it be done? Therefore, the General Staff Headquarters is already beginning to plan, and what kind of excuse will be used to take Guangxi at that time. The second, fifth, and sixth brigades of the Western Sichuan Army are also secretly preparing for war. There are only more than 30,000 Qing troops in Guangxi, and they are all temporary recruited rabble, and the army of three brigades of the Western Sichuan Army is enough to wipe them out lightly. What is lacking in Kawanishi now is nothing more than a reason.

In March, the delegation from western Sichuan arrived in Beijing and met with Prince Gong Yixin and Empress Dowager Cixi, and formally talked about the marriage of Wang Yuze and Yuying Gege. This time, the Manchu side did not shirk. The western Sichuan side immediately ordered the dowry, and the wedding was expected to take place on an auspicious day of the zodiac in April.

But then, when western Sichuan marched into Xinjiang, the Manchu Qing were furious and ordered to reprimand western Sichuan. However, western Sichuan indicated that because the caravan was attacked by horse bandits, sending troops into Xinjiang was only to protect the trade route. For such a clumsy reason, the Manchus were not fools, so naturally they would not believe it. As a result, the marriage that had been negotiated changed again, and it was delayed by the Manchu Qing side under the pretext of excuses.

Fortunately, Wang Yuze is not in a hurry, and when he comes, the value of Xinjiang is much more important than a Manchu Gege. When the Manchus want to marry Gege, let them go! He simply didn't have time to think about it now.

After the beginning of spring, Wang Xiao's health became worse and worse, and he rarely even attended cabinet meetings. Wang Yuze, on the other hand, replaces Wang Xiao in the weekly cabinet meetings. Now, the cabinet is still nominally responsible for Wang Xiao, but in fact, the person who listened to the cabinet's report has already become Wang Yuze. At the beginning, Wang Xiao and Liang Xingrong were still a little worried, but as Wang Yuze dealt with political affairs one by one, he showed his old-fashioned methods, which made them feel a lot more relieved.

Originally, Wang Yuze's plan was to stay in Chengdu, on the one hand, it was to send Wang Xiao to the end and fulfill his filial piety. On the other hand, it is also necessary to ensure the smooth transition of western Sichuan. However, the heavens do not obey people's wishes! On June 25, 92, Wang Yuze received an urgent telegram from the plateau. A battalion of the 8th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army exchanged fire with the British and Indian troops in the border area of Cuona County. The exact reason is unknown, but fierce armed conflict has broken out on both sides. However, the western Sichuan army did not suffer losses, but the British and Indian troops were killed and wounded hundreds of people. Moreover, the Anglo-Indian army that suffered losses will definitely not give up, and they will definitely retaliate, which will cause a serious conflict between western Sichuan and Britain.

"Yu Ze, what should we do now?" Xiong Wu asked.

"I went to sue my father. Father-in-law, you send a telegram to the plateau and ask them to immediately send reinforcements and prepare for a fight with the British in the border area! Wang Yuze said firmly.

"Do you want to fight the British?" Xiong Wu hesitated. Britain was not as easy to bully as the Manchus.

"Father-in-law, we have no way back now. The British have already bullied the door, how can we be beaten and not fight back? Wang Yuze said.

"Well, I'll immediately let the Eighth and Ninth Brigades of the plateau move towards Cuona County. At the same time, the 7th Brigade is also ready! Xiong Wu said.
