"I have made a contribution to calming the situation in Hunan, and I have been specially transferred to the ...... of Shandong Province" Tan Yanmin stopped this telegram, his face was cloudy and uncertain, he had enough of the hardships of not having soldiers in his hands, he was a Hunan man, and he was not happy to do a good job in Hunan, because he had no military power, and the following arrogant soldiers were difficult to tame, and Cheng Qian, the old qualification of the Hunan army, was squeezed away before, but there were 3,000 rotten ships, and Cheng Qian's forces left in Hunan have been at odds with him, he Tan is one, Cheng Qian is one, the original henchman general, and now there is Zhao Hengxi, who has the momentum of being big.

These still don't count, and now there is another Xiong Xiling, who is the governor of the province and acts as the overseer. Not surprisingly, the position of the overseer of Hunan Province is Xiong Xiling's.

"Fuck, before the Beiyang Army entered our Hunan Province, they dressed like dogs and didn't do personnel, and they were driven away by our Hunan Army, but now it's good, the slogan of our Hunan people governing Hunan was shouted, and this Beiyang dog sent Xiong Xiling back to pick peaches, what did we Hunan people do, what did we Hunan Army do?" Zhou Fuwen was dressed in a book, but his face was thoughtful, with thick eyebrows and square face, although he was wearing an elegant robe, his momentum was more powerful than that of ordinary soldiers. "I also want to transfer Tan Du to Shandong, I am not familiar with the place, and I must not be swallowed up by those Shandong Yankees, and now Zhang Huaizhi in Shandong does not listen to the orders of the central government and oppose Yi Du, and has also engaged in several provincial alliances, I don't think there is a shortage of our Hunan Province, so let's also openly generate electricity and oppose Yi Du."

"It's a big deal, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, Xiong Xiling's reputation in Hunan Province is not lower than mine. In the past, I was the chief financial officer, and the official was the prime minister, and my status was even more prominent than that of me, the former overseer. Now with the appointment of the central government, with Zhang Jingyao's family as a prestige, the prestige has reached its peak, Beiyang is Beiyang. Xiong Xiling is Xiong Xiling, and if we keep people out, we will do a bad job. Tan Yanmin shook his head and said, "No matter what, Beiyang's hand is playing beautifully, let's go, the ugly daughter-in-law will eventually see her in-laws, and I will also go to see this predecessor in Hunan Province, from the same source." It's not good to look too ugly on the face. ”

"I have long heard that Brother Zu'an can govern the country and lead the army with martial arts, I went to the north too early, and I have never had the opportunity to get acquainted with Brother Zu'an. Come on, come on, Brother Yan Wu and Brother Song Yun have just arrived, plus you. The most important people in Hunan Province have all arrived, and Hunan Province has many disasters and difficulties. Several of them were great contributors to stabilizing the situation in Hunan Province and expelling Zhang Jingyao, and it was rare for them to sit together and take this opportunity to discuss the aftermath of Hunan Province and let the suffering people rest and recuperate. Xiong Xiling enthusiastically pulled Tan Yanmin inside.

Tan Yanmin was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hengxi, the most relied on henchman, actually took the first step, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he and Zhao Hengxi had always advanced and retreated together, why didn't the other party respond to him first? As for his old opponent Cheng Qian, he just gave it up slightly, but Tan Yanmin didn't care. The two have always been opponents, and they forced him out of Hunan Province before, and it was not bad for the other party not to stare at him.

"Although a few of us have hard work, where can we compare to you, Governor Xiong, and you will get the primary military and political positions in Hunan with your mouth."

Zhao Hengxi said sneeringly, he did have some trouble with Tan Yanmin, he had always supported Tan Yanmin before, and it was with his help that Tan Yanmin had such a scene, but now he drove Zhang Jingyao away, Tan Yanmin's staff thought that success was in sight, and they each celebrated each other, Tan Yanmin also made a wish to those literati in private, but he turned a blind eye to him, a martial artist and his subordinates, Zhao Hengxi's subordinates also had a group of people who needed to be balanced, and they naturally had resentment about Tan Yanmin's behavior. If it weren't for their group of warriors, how could they drive Zhang Jingyao away, and how could Tan Yanmin have been standing tall in Hunan Province and resurrected several times. is in a bad mood, and Zhao Hengxi also has no good face for Xiong Xiling.

Cheng Qian kept a calm face and didn't speak, at this time in Hunan Province, his military strength was not as good as Zhao Hengxi, and his political power was not as good as Tan Yanmin, if it weren't for the central government's parachuting Xiong Xiling to Hunan Province this time, he would only be squeezed out of Hunan Province by Tan and Zhao again.

Hearing Zhao Hengxi's words, Xiong Xiling sat down and sighed and said, "I also know that it is the credit of everyone here to drive Zhang Jingyao away, and I, the governor, were chosen for nothing." Although there was an order from the central government, he did not make an inch, and he deserved it. ”

"But this time, in order to calm the situation in Hunan Province, the central government is indeed sincere, Zhang Jingyao was removed from his post, removed from his military post, and handed over to the people of Hunan Province to decide, which is tantamount to a dead end, according to the practice of the Republic of China, the central government is also under a lot of pressure, do you say yes or no?"

Tan Yanmin and Zhao Hengxi didn't speak, and they acquiesced to Xiong Xiling's statement.

In fact, it is the decision of the central government, but it is better to say that it is the initiative of Yushuai in the northeast, so the pressure on Yushuai is also the greatest. It's not that I helped Yu Shuai say good things, compared with Duan Hefei's discrimination against us southerners, Yu Shuai is indeed different, this time I went south, in addition to Zhang Jingyao, I also brought some things, all of which Yu Shuai asked for from the central government. 20,000 stone of grain, 300,000 yuan in cash, in addition, Yu Shuai also put pressure on HSBC and Standard Chartered through the central government to take out the money that Zhang Jingyao had deposited in the Zài Foreign Bank, plus some of the goods obtained during the seizure of the Seventh Division in Hubei and exchanged them for cash, totaling about 1,936,300 yuan. At present, the central government is in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and its monthly income is less than 7 million yuan, but the central government is still not interested in this amount of money, and intends to use it to make up for the losses suffered by Hunan Province in the past few years. In addition to this money, Yu Shuai also separately mobilized books, pens, ink, paper and other utensils worth more than 100,000 yuan from the northeast for education in Hunan Province. ”

"In the past, Tang Qianjing, Zhang Jingyao and others appointed by the central government all poisoned Hunan Province and took pleasure in self-sufficiency. However, this time the central authorities did bring enough sincerity. ”

"According to Governor Xiong, the central government's actions this time can be regarded as kind, but the expulsion of Zhang Jingyao is not something that a few of us here can do, and I don't know what to do for tens of thousands of soldiers in Hunan Province. What is the central government going to do? After a long time, Cheng Qian spoke.

Tan Yanmin and Zhao Hengxi both looked at Xiong Xiling with interest.

"That's what I'm going to talk about later." Xiong Xiling paused and said, "Regarding Brother Zu An, the central government has arranged to transfer him to the position of governor of Shandong Province. In addition, in order to ensure that Brother Zu An can govern in Shandong, the central government has now dispatched two divisions to Shandong. Bomb local troops. ”

"As for Hunan, in terms of internal affairs, the central government has promised to halve taxes next year, and the saved taxes will be used for agriculture, forestry and water conservancy, and investment in education."

"Militarily, too many local armies were dismantled, and the two divisions were retained, and the division commanders were selected by Brother Yanwu and Brother Songyun. According to the establishment of the Beiyang Reorganized Division, the military expenditure will be directly allocated by the central authorities in the future, and it is planned to complete the rearmament next year. ”

Originally, Qin Yu promised to halve the tax on Hunan this year and next year, but a lot of oil and water was collected from Zhang Jingyao's fat sheep, and Xiong Xiling secretly felt that the shape of the central side was not optimistic at this time, so he automatically lost a year.

"In this way, the central government has indeed moved really this time, but with so many troops, the total is no less than 60,000 or 70,000 people. Downsized to two divisions at once, the intensity was too great. If the soldier is forcibly dismissed, there is a fear of disaster. ”

Cheng Qian frowned and said, he could be considered to have thought it clear at this time, if Tan Yanmin stayed to serve as the overseer of Hunan, he would not be able to occupy the military position of Youxiang Province. But if Xiong Xiling mediates, it is not difficult to maintain a balance of power with Zhao Hengxi in Hunan Province.

What's more, at this time, the central government gave both of them the establishment of regular divisions. After experiencing Tang Zhang, the people of Hunan Province did not trust people from other provinces to serve as the overseers of Hunan Province, and using Xiong Xiling could indeed be called a wonderful move. However, Xiong Xiling brought several policies from the central government that Hunan Province could not refuse. Tan Yanmin, even if he doesn't go, I'm afraid he can't help him. I don't know how the Yu Shuai in the Northeast has a long brain, and he still has such a thorough grasp of the situation in Hunan Province from such a distance. Maybe it's time for the Republic of China to change.

"This should be suppressed by Brother Yanwu and Brother Songyun, you also know, halve the tax revenue of Hunan Province, the central government is now financially insufficient, even the army participating in the war, the Seventh Division is a layoff, and then keep 60,000 or 70,000 people in Hunan Province, I'm afraid even if the central government is willing, it can't afford it, if other provinces follow suit, what can it do?" Xiong Xiling smiled bitterly and said, "No, all of you here, after the Central Army enters Shandong and Henan, the Shandong Local Army and Zhao Qi's Hongwei Army are all targets to be dismantled. As for Hunan Province, the central government's policy is also very lenient. ”

"Hmph, having said that, so many people were born and died in order to drive away the Northern Army, and now they are cut when they say that they will be cut, how can I, the leader, have the face to meet them?" Zhao Hengxi said unhappily, "Why did you go earlier?" If you want to cut, you shouldn't fight this Civil War. ”

"Zhang Jingyao also occupies a lot of land in Hunan Province, which can be distributed, and it should still be possible to use the funds in his hand to dismiss the army and distribute some food. Each has its own difficulties, and if all the troubles are blamed on the central government, what else do we need to do? Having said so much, Xiong Xiling also came to a little temper, since he served as Yuan Shikai's chief financial officer, he has never seen such a good policy, this time the central government has given special treatment to Hunan Province, if you ask for more, it will inevitably be a little bit of an inch.

"Hmph, I don't care what the central authorities decide, and I don't object to disarmament, but whoever likes to cut and who cuts will have my post taken captive, so I don't have to worry about staying in this position." Zhao Hengxi was in a bad mood, but when he heard Xiong Xiling's angry words, he suddenly pushed the table, got up and left in a bad mood.

"Yan Wu is this hot character, Governor Xiong should not be outside. Before leaving, I will persuade him again. Tan Yanmin sighed, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, if the central government decided next time, he would not be able to resist, the Beiyang Army could still fight, but the fighting spirit has not been strong, and the fighting stopped, otherwise the Hunan army would not be able to drive Zhang Jingyao out.

"Then thank you Brother Zu An, alas, this is a mess, whoever cleans it up, who has a headache, Brother Yanwu's subordinates want to lay off a batch, and they have no shame to explain to them, and it is normal for the situation to be out of control." Xiong Xiling said with great joy when he heard this.

"Thank you Governor Xiong for your understanding." Tan Yanmin thanked him, he and Zhao Hengxi have been friends for many years after all, even if it is a little unpleasant, now that the separation is imminent, it is a little bit to be able to help a little.

"Brother Song Yun, the 20,000 stone of grain mobilized by the central government in the afternoon, one is used for military rations, and the other is for disaster relief, and now I don't have anyone available in my hands, so I will trouble Brother Song Yun." Xiong Xiling said to Cheng Qian again.

"What's the trouble in the matter?" Tan Yanmin is out of Hunan, he can stay, the current result is already the best for Cheng Qian, the positions of the left and right overseers and provincial governors cannot fall on him, Xiong Xiling has the highest reputation in Hunan, and there is nothing to do with him, thinking about these joints, Cheng Qian will gladly accept his order.

Cheng Qian in history is indeed a soldier with outstanding moral character and a strong view of the overall situation, and Li Zongren of the Gui Department detained Cheng Qian and dismissed him from his position. After Chiang Kai-shek and the Gui faction turned against each other, and the lonely Gui faction was in danger of being forced back to Guangxi, Cheng Qian still ignored the previous suspicions, and under the threat of Japan, proceeded from the overall situation of the Republic of China, ran east and west, and advocated a peaceful settlement. At this time, the central government's policy was already the best result for Hunan Province, and Cheng Qian could not find a reason to oppose it in public or private.

"Outside, outside, the central government has relieved Zhang Jingyao of his military post and handed him over to Governor Xiong to escort him to Changsha for disposal by the people of Hunan Province!"

"Outside, outside, the central government has decided to stop the war between the north and the south and mobilize 20,000 loads of grain into Hunan for disaster relief!"

"Extra....The central government today officially launched negotiations with the legations of the great powers, striving to realize the independence of the Republic of China's tariffs, and hoping that the provincial overseers will work together with the central government to recover the lost rights and interests of the Republic of China!"

Zhao Hengxi's horse galloped lightly on the streets of Yuezhou, and there were bursts of thunderous cheers in the streets and alleys everywhere.

"Commander, it seems that this time the Central Committee has done a lot of personnel." Adjutant Xu Mao couldn't help but say with some joy when he heard the news.

"Hmph, you know what." Zhao Hengxi frowned, and the more enthusiastic the people's reaction was, it showed that the central government still occupied a very important position in the hearts of the people of Hunan Province, so he wanted to realize the goal of inter-provincial autonomy and became a source of no water, but now the Feng army is strong, and more than 100,000 Anhui troops participated in the war and wiped out with one blow, and the army with a great victory swept Henan and Shandong.

Zhili Cao Kun didn't dare to move, although he had a lot of soldiers in Hunan, but the equipment was very poor, there was a shortage of food, if there was no foreign affairs office to intervene, and without the support of the overseers, I am afraid it would not last long, looking at Cheng Qian's posture, I am afraid that it was thrown to Xiong Xiling's side, a single Xiong Xiling and Cheng Qian are not terrible, once the military and government are combined, it is not something he can bear. Otherwise, Cheng Qian would not have been forced out of Hunan by him and Tan Yanhong.

Let's take a look at how the Feng army fought in Shandong and Henan, if they can't even clean up Shandong and Henan, they will try in vain to get involved in Hunan, and the appetite will be too great.

Drive! Zhao Hengxi galloped his horse and rushed to the direction of the station. (To be continued......)
