Chapter 139 The Southwest Storm Rises

The sheep intestine mountain road, twists and turns, leaning over to look at the thousands of zhang deep cliffs, from the foot of the mountain overlook, the mountains and mountains, continuous vertical and horizontal, it seems that there is never an end in sight (). Win phone bills,

"Good guy, I thought our road in Sichuan was difficult to walk, this will take a trip, and Guizhou is called a flat avenue." On the banks of the Qingshui River in Foding Mountain, a team of more than a dozen pack horses trekked along the trail, and a young man in the team, who spoke with a Sichuan Chongqing accent and wore a national defense army uniform and a cotton coat, took a look at the deep gorge and unbuttoned his clothes, and two brand-new Minyuan-style pistols were revealed under the placket.

"Isn't it said as the old saying goes? Nine points of mountains and rivers and one point of fields, the ancient road camel team went to Qianzhou. Qiu Wenbin, who walked in front, said with a smile: "The two lakes enter the Sichuan, and the most difficult thing to walk is the Wushan Kuimen, as well as the Qinling Shu Road in the north, and the Jinsha River in the southwest of Daliang Mountain. But Guizhou is different, no matter how you go, it is full of mountains and mountains, and you can't see the end. ”

"Squad leader, it's time to go to Guiyang in the afternoon, it's time to tell us about this mission, right?" The Chongqing guy squeezed to the front and followed Qiu Wenbin to ask.

I set off early in the morning and walked for almost four or five hours, and it was all difficult to walk on the mountain road, and I had to take care of the pack horses, even if the mountain wind was cold and steep, Qiu Wenbin was a little hot, unbuttoned his cotton coat and said: "I know that you are restless, I tell you, this is not to fight, but to discuss the entry of the Hanchuan Railway into your business." ”

Qiu Wenbin continued: "Mr. Zhan said that there are many bandits on the side of Dalou Mountain in Zunyi, and the construction of the railway may be dangerous, and I hope that we can send troops to protect it after the start of construction, so we have to go and say hello to the Guizhou Military Government." ”

"It's not a war." The Chongqing guy's voice dragged on for a long time, and he glanced at the two clerks of the railway company in the team, like a wilted eggplant, and said dejectedly: "Railway, just send a civil official." Besides, we helped Guizhou build the railway, and they should thank the commander. ”

"Braincase, you think it's that simple?" Qiu Wenbin scolded with a smile in the Sichuan dialect he had learned, and said: "The commander is a patrol envoy of the three provinces, and he must say hello first when he sends troops into Guizhou, otherwise people will think that we are going to engage in splitting, which is thankless." ”

"Squad leader, you don't like to learn Sichuanese, but like the girl next door calls someone."

"Haha."

The soldiers burst into laughter, and the Chongqing guy regained his activity and said: "Squad leader, when Changde came out, he said that the commander was assassinated, and he also said that the Nanjing government did it, is this true?" ”

This sentence suddenly made the atmosphere of the team a lot more solemn. Because Zhan Tianyou put forward the idea of starting construction in the four provinces at the same time and shortening the construction period, when Yang Qiu went to Shanghai, he sent Qiu Wenbin to take a squad to protect several clerks of the railway company to transfer Hunan to Guizhou, and was ready to discuss with the Guizhou Military Government about sending troops to protect the construction of the Guizhou section of the Hanchuan Railway.

But unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived in Changde, they heard that Yang Qiu had been assassinated in Hankou, and everyone almost wanted to go home, and several railway company clerks were even more anxious, without Yang Qiu, there would be no Hanchuan line at all, so they were most anxious. Fortunately, the next day came the news that Yang Qiu was fine, but when the assassin carried out the assassination, he shouted that it was sent by the Nanjing government, which shrouded everyone's hearts with a layer of haze.

It wasn't until later that three government decrees were electrified, and the Changde Mansion was excited, and many students took to the streets to support it, and they continued to go on the road (). But because it's far from the core area, it's not clear who did it, so everyone is talking about it along the way. After experiencing the ups and downs before and after the uprising, Qiu Wenbin was much more stable, knowing that many things could not be seen through with his eyes, and said: "It's okay if the commander is fine, and the rest should wait until Guizhou sends a telegram back to ask Commander Lei and they will talk about it, and everyone is also worried." ”

The two clerks of the railway company are young students from abroad who Zhan Tianyou found, and they are most unaccustomed to the old-fashioned ideas of the gentry from all over the world, and they are enthusiastic and excited, so they scolded: "We don't care who did it, anyway, the three provinces can't do without Inspector Yang, otherwise the Hanchuan line will always be a pie on paper?" So many children can't read either! Everyone has seen it all the way, and what the three provinces have been ruined by the Tartars! Therefore, as long as the common people can live a good life, we will support the Patrol Ambassador. ”

"That's right, let's finish the affairs of Guizhou as soon as possible and go back early, but I have seen it along the way, those officials and gentry of the Lijin Bureau who drink the blood of the people are so hated that the commander's teeth are itchy."

"The commander is going to patrol the two provinces, those old-fashioned elements will definitely make trouble, according to me, speed up the pace, and go back to clean them up after arriving in Guizhou as soon as possible."

"Yes, hurry up and go back early."

The soldiers also shouted, and together with the two clerks of the railway company, they quickened their pace towards Guizhou, but no one expected that the sudden arrival of the Wehrmacht in Guiyang would cause a big chain reaction.

When Qiu Wenbin protected the clerk and went to Guizhou, Yang Qiu also arrived in Changsha, the first stop of the inspection trip.

The sunny Changsha Mansion ushered in a rare good weather, and the cruiser Yingrui approached the pier amid the sound of gongs and drums, and the five-color flag and the flying tiger flag on the warship contrasted with each other. The murky river water lapped against the hull of the warship, splashing snow-white waves.

On the wharf, the officers and men of the Sixth Brigade had already set up a cordon under the leadership of Hang Zhi, because of the assassination case in Hankou and the fact that a large number of vested interests had been offended after the withdrawal of the money, in order to prevent some people from taking risks, the national defense forces had made strict arrangements for the defense of Yang Qiu's trip, not only bringing all the remaining guard companies, but also removing a company from the first division to supplement, in addition to strictly ordering the garrisons in various places to do a good job of defending them.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way of Lao Tzu ()."

"We want to protest! Yes, protest! ”

Suddenly, hundreds of ruffians came out of nowhere, squeezed through the crowd of welcomes, and suddenly unfurled several banners with slogans such as "We want to eat", "A republic is not a family", "The absurdity of tax reform" and so on.

Bringing officials and gentry representatives to greet Tan Yanmin saw the slogan, his face suddenly stiffened, since he ordered the tax reform, there have been people in Changsha all day long to denounce him, he knew who was behind these people, but he didn't expect it to be here, and asked angrily: "What's the matter?" Who did it?! ”

The officials and gentry representatives behind him hurriedly lowered their heads to avoid their eyes, and Zuo Xueqian hurriedly pushed Liu Yutang: "Quick, find someone to drive away, it won't be good if you make trouble." ”

Liu Yutang is now the deputy commander of the Fourth Division, this time Yang Qiu came to Hunan to inspect, because he was familiar with the people, so he did not go to Sichuan to temporarily come back to arrange the protection task, seeing this scene, he was also anxious and sweating, isn't this going to die? After the Hankou assassination, Sun Wu and others were directly shot in Nanjing in order to appease, who in Hunan now has such a deep background? If something happens in Changsha, they won't be enough to bury them! So he hurriedly ran to find Hang Zhi, preparing to forcibly drive away these troublemakers.

Hang Zhi naturally saw these people too, and just as he was about to command the soldiers to disperse, Lei Meng, who got off the boat first, immediately ran over and muttered a few words, then strengthened his vigilance and stopped moving, so that Tan Yanmin and the others couldn't figure out what Yang Qiu meant.

This time they were accompanied by Zhang Taiyan and Song Ziqing, who had just returned from Nanjing, and both of them muttered secretly when they saw this scene, but Yang Qiu turned a deaf ear to the protests, because he had expected that someone would jump out.

"Yanhong and all walks of life in Hunan welcome the envoys to come and inspect." Tan Yanmin saw that the army didn't care, and he didn't understand what Yang Qiu was paying attention to, so he went up to greet him, pointed at the protesters in the distance and pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "The patrol envoy doesn't have to care about these people, after the abolition of the money, they will make trouble all day long, and they can't make waves." ”

Yang Qiu smiled: "Governor Tan and you have worked hard, Yang has been busy with other things recently, and now I have really neglected you ()." As for these people, the republic always has to let everyone speak, so that they can open up their voices and jointly promote the development of the three provinces. ”

"Inspector Yaliang." The officials and gentry representatives who had just not spoken saw that Yang Qiu was not angry, and they all echoed it, secretly wondering if the wind direction had changed again?

Yang Qiu affectionately pulled Tan Yanmin by the arm, and when there were only two people left in the carriage, his face suddenly changed and he asked coldly, "Governor Tan, you didn't bring them, right?" ”

Tan Yanmin's cold sweat came out, don't look at Yang Qiu's young age, after experiencing so many things, he can see that this is definitely a decisive person, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't scare me, although Tan is mediocre, he still supports this kind of thing, which is all caused by the closure of the Lijin Bureau a few days ago." ”

Seeing that his sideburns were sweating with fright, Yang Qiu smiled secretly in his heart and said: "Governor Tan, don't panic, Yang is just joking, if you didn't stabilize Hunan during this period of time and buy time for the revolution, then there is the current situation in our three provinces, Mr. Zu'an is really a great achievement." ”

Joke? This kind of joke will scare people to death! Tan Yanhong said with a dark belly, and hurriedly said modestly: "It's all the patrol envoys who are well led, Tan is just the icing on the cake, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Yang Qiu asked: "Governor Tan just said that he supports the new policy, I don't know if he has any experience in doing it these days?" ”

Tan Yanmin's brain was full of sweat, what do you think? ! In the past few days, Hunan has been in chaos, and it is easy to say that it is easy to go to school for free, but I don't know how many gentry have been offended by the dismissal of Lijin, and there are squires who have reported that they are unwilling to obey in various places, and he has a numb scalp when he is implicated, if it is not for the timely stationing of the third division, I am afraid that he can already smell the smell of mutiny.

Seeing his dodgy gaze, Yang Qiu knew that things were not as smooth as he imagined, in fact, he also knew how much power the tax reform would touch, but he had to do it! Leng said: "Governor Tan, let it go, I can't turn the sky upside down here!" ”

The cold words made Tan Yanmin's heart plummet suddenly, and after a while, he nodded hard.
