********

The sunset slowly descends on Jiangchuan, and it is the closing time of each store, but a pharmacy on the street is crowded, and the big curved words in front of the pharmacy shine in the glow ().

"Doctor Qu, is my leg okay?"

On the hospital bed in the shop, a mountain man who collects medicine for a living has blood stains on his legs, and the bystanders are also worried, and he himself is even more worried that the family with a broken leg will have no support from now on, so he endured the pain and stared at the doctor who examined him. The doctor is about thirty years old, the cheekbones are prominent, and a pair of big ears are particularly eye-catching, all say that the older the doctor, the more capable he is, but the one in front of him has broken the tradition, and he is famous for treating bruises and wounds at a young age, and even the provincial city of Kunming has people coming to him from time to time to see a doctor.

also knew the importance of a good pair of legs to these mountain people, Qu Huanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and comforted after careful inspection: "It's not in the way, it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones, you can go to the ground after applying my medicine and resting for half a month." Hearing him say this, the people who sent the mountain people to seek medical treatment were all relieved. He didn't dare to delay, and immediately asked the guy to clean the wound, and then took out the homemade Baibaodan. It didn't take long for the wound to stop bleeding after the powder was sprinkled, and everyone praised it, but before the young man could finish bandaging, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside.

Qu Huanzhang looked up and saw more than a dozen soldiers stopped at the door, these soldiers were dressed strangely, some were wearing Yunnan army uniforms, and some were wearing yellow sand-colored military uniforms. But without exception, they are all looking at their own signs. He studied under Wudang Mountain, and often traveled back and forth between Huguang and Kunming, so he was no stranger to the National Defense Army, and his heart jumped and hurriedly stepped forward: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know you at such a late hour." ”

He's not done yet. The officer who took the lead unexpectedly saluted him and asked, "We are here to find Doctor Qu." ”

"The doctor doesn't dare to be a doctor. Below is Qu Huanzhang. ”

The officer didn't wait for him to finish, grabbed him and shouted: "You are the Qu Shen Doctor who is famous for curing swords and guns?" Great, come with me! ”

Qu Huanzhang was taken aback. I haven't messed with these soldiers! Not to mention the Wehrmacht, which can't be beaten by eight poles. Seeing that he was frightened, the officer hurriedly explained: "The matter is urgent, I can't talk to you about Doctor Qu, bring something with me immediately, Cai Dudu is seriously injured and needs you to go for treatment!" ”

"Cai Dudu!" No matter how obsessed Qu Huanzhang is with medicine, he also knows Cai Yi's name, and he was shocked when he heard that he was injured, so he hurriedly asked the guy to bring the medicine box, and personally went to the inner room to pick up a lot of homemade Baibaodan. Everyone around them was also surprised to hear that the governor was injured, and many well-informed people were even more nervous. By the time the carriage was heading frantically all the way to Kunming, the news that Yunnan was going to fight was already boiling.

There are two hundred miles from Jiangchuan to Kunming, probably because the soldiers are anxious, so the carriage has not stopped all the way, and Qu Huanzhang almost didn't faint, and finally arrived in Kunming in the middle of the night, but the scene in front of him stunned him!

I saw that in the provincial capital that I had come to last month, there were five steps, one post, three steps and one sentry, and the huge butter torches illuminated the streets and alleys, and the originally neat street shops were almost burned down in the firelight, and there was black and scorched everywhere. The streets were stained with blood, and there were countless dead bodies, and soldiers were carrying corpses out of the city in wagons, including soldiers, locals, and many women who had been stripped naked and humiliated, and even many children!

This scene frightened Qu Huanzhang's face pale, and then looked at the Wehrmacht soldiers who led the way, and the haze in his heart was even stronger. But when I turned my head and thought about it, I felt that it was wrong, I went back to Wudang Mountain and passed by Wuchang and Hankou, where it was almost Ansheng who never closed his door at night, and the soldiers not only did not exploit but also treated the people very well, how could this be?

He didn't dare to ask more, and he didn't dare to look at the tragic situation around him, waiting for the carriage to gallop all the way to the governor's mansion, the tense atmosphere here was even more solemn, large and small sandbags formed a castle shape, the black barrel of the gun poked out from inside, there were traces of cannon bombardment on the ground and walls, and when he walked into the mansion, there were even more women's cries.

"Report, Doctor Qu is here."

The officer hurriedly ran in, and before he could hear a reply, Qu Huanzhang saw several officers dressed in the uniforms of the Yunnan Army and the National Defense Army walking out with a young man, the young man was about twenty-four or five years old, his eyebrows were locked, his eyes were sharp, and the two eyes shot as if he was going to pierce someone, and saluted: "Su Xiaohu, the commander of the Fifth Division of the National Defense Army, has seen the Divine Doctor Qu, don't gossip, the Divine Doctor will come with me quickly." ”

"Don't dare, Master Su can call me Huanzhang."

Qu Huanzhang bent down and saluted and walked into the inner room with Su Xiaohu, as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, a man with thick gauze wrapped in his shoulders and abdomen on the bed was motionless as if he was dead, two military doctors were giving him injections, and there were several women next to him, who should be family members ().

"Cai Dudu was shot today, we were going to have surgery to remove the bullet, but the bullet in the abdomen pressed on the blood vessels, I am afraid it will cause heavy bleeding, I heard that you have a good way to stop the bleeding, so I took the liberty to invite you here." Su Xiaohu did not go to Guangxi with Yang Qiu, he had been supervising the battle in Xuanwei, and after receiving Cai Yi's secret letter, he reached an agreement with Xie Ruji on the front line overnight, and sent the teaching group and Xie Bu to help, and he led the main force to follow behind, but he didn't expect to arrive in Kunming one step too late.

Before leaving, Yang Qiu took care of Cai Ye to ensure that Cai Yi was safe, so he immediately asked the soldiers to invite Cai Yi's two wives and mother out first, and said anxiously: "Mr. Qu will check it first." ”

The stakes are so important that Qu Huanzhang didn't dare to delay, seeing that the shoulder injury was not critical, he knew that the trouble was in the abdomen, and after the military doctor lifted the gauze, he was also taken aback, only to see that the flesh and blood in the abdomen were blurred, and there was blood flowing out when he pressed lightly, and the blood scab was a little blackened, and at first glance, the bullet had pierced the internal organs, and if he was an ordinary person, he would be killed, fortunately, Cai Ye was born in the military and had good physical fitness, and the military doctor also made a preliminary treatment in time.

This kind of injury is too risky to deal with, Cai Yi is also the governor of a province, Qu Huanzhang was also nervous and turned his head and was about to speak, Su Xiaohu waved his hand and said: "Sir, although he is treated, Su will bear all the consequences." I'll just say one thing. Cai Du is in danger of Yunnan's safety, Mr. must do his best! After finishing speaking, in order not to disturb the treatment, he took the initiative to walk out of the room, and Qu Huanzhang hurriedly took out the homemade hemostatic medicine from the medicine box when he saw this.

The self-striking clock in the living room ticks incessantly, and the minutes pass by the minute. Su Xiaohu and the officers all waited quietly for the results, as the sun gradually rose. Many soldiers of the Yunnan Army began to gather in the school field downstairs, and the soldiers of the National Defense Army were also a little nervous, God knows if they would be angry with themselves if Cai Yi died. Thus sparking a second riot.

Just when everyone was waiting anxiously. The door that had been closed all night finally opened, Qu Huanzhang walked out with a tired look, and the officers hula came around, and he hurriedly saluted Su Xiaohu: "Master Su, Huanzhang is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

"Great!"

"Thank you, thank you Doctor Qu!"

When the officers heard that their lives were saved, they all shook their fists excitedly, the two ladies also cried with joy, and Su Xiaohu even had all the strength in his body as if he had lost all of his strength all of a sudden. only to find out that I don't know when my military uniform has been soaked with sweat. After ordering the soldiers to take Qu Huanzhang to rest, the military doctor came to report that Cai Ye had woken up, and specially wanted to see him, Xie Ruji, Luo Peijin, and several Yunnan army officers.

After walking into the room, Cai Ye was already leaning on the head of the bed, a large amount of blood loss made his face look pale, Su Xiaohu saluted and reported to the door, he looked at it a few times and nodded, and pointed to the bookcase: "The second drawer in the right hand." ”

He Pengxiang immediately opened the drawer and took out a few pieces of stationery full of names, Cai Ye didn't look at it and handed him over to Su Xiaohu: "Cai has done nothing since he led Yunnan, opium is rampant in the territory, and Tusi bandits are endless. Britain and France have repeatedly stirred up trouble on the border, and they have also raised such rebellious people as Tang Jiyao! I feel guilty in my heart, and today's suffering is purely self-inflicted. ”

"The governor doesn't have to blame himself, the commander said, you are in the borderland, there is neither foreign aid nor heavy troops, it is commendable to be able to protect the peace of the country, Tang Jiyao's generation can't blame you and the soldiers of the Dian army for what they did, you can only blame them for being blinded by greed and ambition, and forgetting their responsibilities as soldiers!"

"The duty of a soldier." Cai Yi muttered, his distracted eyes seemed to be dyed with a glimmer of brilliance, swept away several officers of the Dian Army and said slowly: "You have followed me for many years, and you have to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty with your help, but I have not given you a future and a goal!" This is my failure and my sin! If you still believe me, put aside your prejudices and join the Wehrmacht, although Commander Yang is young, I can see that he is a person who does great things, he will give you new goals, and he will also tell you where the future is! ”

Probably said too quickly, he coughed violently a few times, the wound pulled and made his face more and more pale, the military doctor hurriedly came to help him lie down, Su Xiaohu also comforted: "The governor can rest assured, the commander will not withdraw the Yunnan army, but according to the new standards to reorganize into two infantry brigades and three national guard regiments, enjoy the same treatment as the national defense force, in addition, the commander has also planned to extend two railways from Guizhou and Guangxi, and the southwest will be built in the next ten years!" ”

Xie Ruyi, Luo Peijin and other officers next to him were relieved to hear that the Dian army would not be disbanded, Cai Ye also nodded with relief, pointed to the list and said to Su Xiaohu: "Don't interfere with this list for the time being, let Xie Ruji and Luo Peijin take everyone to do it!" After the incident, the troops immediately reorganized and used actions to tell the people that the Dian army was not useless. ”

Su Xiaohu finally understood why Cai Ye was repeatedly mentioned by Yang Qiu, when the previous confusion and the uncertainty of the future were clear, he did have something extraordinary!

As Cai Yi quietly closed his eyes, the previous restlessness and uneasiness all disappeared, and the remaining more than 6,000 Yunnan troops of the three mixed associations were immediately temporarily reorganized into two brigades, and the soldiers of the Yunnan army, who were no longer confused, once again assumed the due responsibility of soldiers, led by Xie Ruyi and Luo Peijin respectively, and began to arrest those potentially unstable factors according to the list, and a large number of opium dealers and old forces were uprooted.

With the expansion of the operation to the whole of Yunnan, the five divisions and two brigades completed the operation in Guangxi and immediately rushed to Yunnan, plus the three National Guard regiments transferred from Sichuan, Cai Yi on the sickbed began to target those who were entrenched in the border areas and colluded with Britain and France with foreigners, after consulting with Cai Jimin, the commander-in-chief of the three southwestern provinces of the National Defense Force, the National Defense Force provided logistical support, and dispatched 10 teams to carry out a major purge of the most unstable areas, including the surrounding areas of Nankan, an important town west of Lijiang, although it was not directly aimed at Nankan, But it wiped out the power of the toast around it.

After being injured, Cai Ye seemed to have completely changed as a person, not only personally commanding from the sickbed, but also in order to give Yang Qiu a stable rear in the southwest, and even directly ignored the British protests, and kept sweeping the Yunnan-Tibet border area west of Lushui and east of Nankan, where the separatist forces were most serious.

This operation lasted until April 1913, during which more than 5,000 people were directly killed, more than 200 separatist Tusi families were executed, and all the confiscated land was distributed to the slaves and long-term laborers of the Tusi, which greatly shocked Britain and France, and also ensured the stability of the southwest. In order to cooperate with him, the 16th Brigade of the National Defense Forces stationed in Xikang also cooperated in launching an encirclement and suppression against the Tusi and forces with separatist ideas.

These are all later words, and for Yang Qiu, Cai Ye is not dead, which makes him breathe a sigh of relief.

The Dian army is very different from other warlords, if the domestic army is more like the Japanese army, then there is no doubt that it is the Dian army rather than the Beiyang, all of which are composed of officers in Japan, and the famous Yunnan martial arts hall also introduces Japanese kendo and samurai courses, so the Dian army in the parallel world will go north to Sichuan and east to Guizhou after Chongjiu, and almost completely occupy the southwest in just two years, which shows how strong its offensive is ()!

And all of this is related to Cai Yi, thinking about how chaotic the Dian army was after he was transferred by Yuan Shikai. If he dies, the Wehrmacht will have to dispatch at least five brigades and it will take a year to wipe out all the Yunnan forces.

After discussing with Cai Yi's telegram, Yang Qiu immediately ordered the reorganization of the Dian Army into the 23rd and 24th Infantry Brigades, considering that the Dian Army still needed a period of accelerated military operations in Yunnan, and he also hoped to use this to strike at the separatists in Tibet, so the two brigades were postponed until May next year to go to Hunan. Since Cai Ye was seriously injured and needed at least three or four months to recuperate, it was suggested that Zhang Weicong should be appointed governor of Yunnan Province and Li Gengen should be appointed chairman of the National Assembly, and that he should go to Wuchang to attend the Southwest United Council.

These Yang Qiu agreed, with Cai Yi in charge, Cai Jimin dispatched, plus the 3rd Division, 5th Division, 17th, 23rd and 24th Brigades, the southwest can already ensure that it is safe, even in the face of external powerful British and French forces, they have the strength to fight and win. And at the moment when 1913 was about to enter, it was practically impossible for Europe to be distracted from the distant Far East, so for Yang Qiu, a new page had been turned.

On November 22, 1912, Zhang Weicong, the new governor of Yunnan Province, sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing the merger of the Yunnan Army into the National Defense Forces and publicizing the true intention of the Yunnan turmoil. On the same day, the 17th Brigade of the National Defense Force was stationed in Wuzhou, the Longjiguang Department of the Guangdong Army returned to Guangdong, and the 9th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the National Defense Army, and two National Guard regiments took over the Leizhou Peninsula and Beihai, Qinzhou and other places, and disarmed a small number of Cantonese troops in the area.

On November 24, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces jointly signed a letter with the central government to request that the area between the Leizhou Peninsula west of Zhanjiang and Vietnam's Haiphong be allocated to Guangxi Province, so as to realize the dream of relying on the sea to promote the economic development of the three provinces.

On November 27, three days before the parliamentary election, Cai Yi and Lu Rongting, who are important in the southwest, sent another national telegram, especially the former, who resolutely abandoned Liang Qichao's Progressive Party, and announced that they would join the National Socialist Party.

Three electric chains, the whole country shook!
