Chapter 304: The Gathering of Storms
The second time Wang Zhenyu and Cai Ye met in their lives was in Wuhan, which was also their Zuihou meeting.
Since the ship on which Cai Ye was sitting stopped temporarily in Wuhan on the way, and Cai Yi's physical condition no longer allowed him to get off the ship, our Chairman Wang ran on the boat to see Cai Ye without any struggling.
When he saw Cai Ye again, he was stunned by what he saw in front of him.
Cai Yi's whole person is already like a tree, he is not fat in the first place, but now he is thin and scared to death, the whole person has no energy at all, so he shrinks on the bed, and even the basic getting up has become very difficult, and the cough is endless.
"Brother Songpa, who are you?" Wang Zhenyu didn't regard Cai Ye as a competitor for a long time at the moment, all he had was heartache, heartache for this generation of famous generals, what was the reason why Cai Ye, who scolded Fang Yu and pointed the country when he went north with him that day, actually became like this.
Cai Ye could only feel pain and guilt Wang Zhenyu nodded apologetically, but it was difficult to speak in his throat. Jiang Baili, chief of staff of the National Protector Army, who accompanied Cai Ye to Japan for treatment, was also an old acquaintance of Wang Zhenyu, and he had met him in Baoding that day. At this moment, Jiang Baili was also very sad: "Since the day of the Yuan court, Songpo has been in charge of military affairs day and night, and he is often worried because the enemy army is strong and the support of his army is not followed. Under such circumstances, the pressure of leading troops to fight is so great that over time, it will accumulate into a disease. There was a shortage of good doctors in the army, and Songpa was worried about military affairs, so he refused to leave the front line and return to Kunming for medical treatment. After Dingding Shuzhong, he was even more entangled in everything, and finally, alas, ......"
Wang Zhenyu knows Cai Yi's difficulties, and he doesn't need to install anyone in the Yunnan army, Zhao Hengti is a liaison officer in the Protector Army, and Wang Zhenyu is informed of all things. Speaking of which, Tang Jiyao is indeed not a thing, no wonder this person Zuihou can't make it into the climate in the Republic of China, and buried 100,000 Dian troops in vain. Tang Jiyao is different from Cai Yi, he is a native of Yunnan, so he has always been a disobedient to Cai Yi, and he didn't want to participate in this Protectorate War as an overseer of Yunnan. But when Cai Ye appeared in Kunming, he couldn't help but Tang Jiyao participated. You must know that the backbone of the so-called Yunnan army is not all Yunnanese, but is composed of people from Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces. These Baoqing people are notoriously fierce, and they don't recognize any overseers at all, just Cai Yi. In addition, Liu Xianshi, the overseer of Guizhou, did not sell his account, so if Tang Jiyao did not follow Cai Ye at that time, then his own head would probably be used to sacrifice the flag. It is also for this reason that the first thing Tang Jiyao did after Cai Yi's death was to ignore the ancient precept that no Hunan is not an army, and sent all the Hunan origins in the Yunnan army, especially Baoqing (now Shaoyang) officers, out of the country, Wang Zhenyu's maternal great-grandfather and five brothers in later generations were all on errand under Cai Ye at that time, and in this case he could only return to Hunan via Myanmar (at that time, the bandits on the Yunnan-Guizhou border were serious, and Tang Jiyao relied on these bandits to regain the throne of the overseers in history, and the ferocity of these bandits can be seen), The combat effectiveness of the Dian army has also plummeted, and Zuihou can't even beat the Sichuan army. That's all for later.
Who is Cai Ye? He naturally knew Tang Jiyao's little thoughts, but he didn't care, because his ambition was not a small Yunnan overseer, but the whole world. Therefore, Cai Yi's flexible wrist was reflected at this time, and it was indeed more than a grade higher than Sun Yat-sen, Cai Ye served as the commander of the First Army of the National Protector Army, and the throne of the commander of the National Protector Army and the overseer of Yunnan was still his Tang Jiyao. Moreover, he Cai Ye took care of the errand of fighting and enduring hardships by himself, and Tang Jiyao only needed to be in charge of grain and grass.
But it's such a simple errand, and Tang Jiyao at both ends of the first rat is still a mess. Yuan Shikai mobilized heavy troops into Sichuan in line with the principle of shooting the first bird with a gun, and Jihua flattened Cai Yi's national defense army with one blow.
And at this time, Tang Jiyao was scared and shaken, and he was terrified. What makes people smile bitterly is that his head seems to become unclear after he is terrified. The method he chose was actually to card Cai Yi's neck in logistics, it seems that in this way, in the future, waiting for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to level Cai Yi, he can also go to show his merits, and see, if it weren't for me pulling back his legs, you wouldn't be able to eliminate Cai Yi. In this way, Cai Yi was uncomfortable, but the battle that could have been fought could not be fought because of the lack of materials, and the attack on Zuihou was also played as a defense, and it was really uncomfortable during those days. However, even so, Cai Ye still accumulated small victories into big victories, and he simply pulled the situation back little by little from the most powerful third division in Beiyang. Even Wu Peifu, who was later known as the Beiyang Military God, could only stare dryly at the direction where Cai Ye was, and Cai Ye, a famous general, was really not called in vain.
As for Tang Jiyao's problem, I don't know how Cai Yi solved it, but it is said that it is a matter of letters. As for the content of the letter, it is naturally unknown, but Wang Zhenyu is also a hero now, and he can guess what the content is with his fingers.
The first part is nothing more than reminiscence, starting from the first time Cai Yi saw Tang Jiyao, brother and I saw you at a glance among ten thousand people, and I found that you have a strong domineering atmosphere in you, brother, so ......
The second part is to emphasize how reactionary Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang warlords are, brother, I am now carrying out a righteous cause, you look at Wang Zhenyu next door, they are also pulling the flag, uh no, it is the banner of protecting the country, it can be seen that our cause is just, and it is bound to win......
The third part is naturally threats and intimidation, brother, you can't be confused at this time, we are grasshoppers on a rope, you are on my thief ship now, do you still want to go down? The boat has reached the center of the river, can it still go down? I'm going to lose, you still have a fart future, honestly, follow my brother and I will continue to engage in rebellion, after all, a promising career is the only right choice in your life, uh.
It is estimated that Tang Jiyao's mind will sober up when he sees this letter, and he will figure out his position, so the reinforcements and supplies will arrive without saying a word, do it, what a god!
The result of Zuihou was naturally that Cai Yi defeated Cao Kun's Beiyang Third Division, but his body also collapsed.
After Yuan Shikai's death, the north and the south reached a partition agreement, and the southwest military government was subsequently established, but the situation in Sichuan was very complicated, and Cai Ye had to personally sit in Chengdu to coordinate the relations between all parties.
At that time, Sichuan had not yet developed into a situation of warlord melee, the defense zone system had not yet come out, Yang Sen was still eating in the Yunnan army, Xiong Kewu was still revolutionary and progressive, Liu Wenhui, a Duobao Daoist, was still studying in Baoding and did not graduate, and Liu Xiang, Liu Cunhou, and Liu Chengxun had become the climate, but they were not as strong as in history, and the tax revenue had naturally not been received by the Republic of China for 80 years, but such a situation had already made Cai Yi a headache.
The problem lies first of all with the revolutionaries in Sichuan, oh, now they should be called the Kuomintang. The nine-member regiment (Xiong Kewu, Dan Maoxin, Li Weiru, Yu Peidi, Yu Jitang, Zhang Chong, Wu Bingjun, Liu Guanglie, and Long Guang) headed by Xiong Kewu, the guard of Chongqing, belonged to the Huang Xing line. On the other hand, the industrial group headed by Yang Shukan, the acting governor of Sichuan Province (Shi Qingyang, Lu Chao, Lu Shidi, Yan Deji, and Huang Fusheng), belongs to Sun Yat-sen's lineage, and Xie Zhi, the founder of the industrial group, is now thriving in the Nanjing government. These two factions have their own armed forces, and they fight each other very fiercely, although they have not developed to the point where they fought as much as they did in history, but they are not much better, especially after driving away Beiyang Shili, all the contradictions that were originally covered up have been exposed, and now the two sides are incompatible. If it weren't for the pressure of the great god Cai Yi, it is estimated that they would have pulled their teams to set up a fight. Sure enough, it is a robe brother's family, and he will never pull the sloppy belt.
With such a large group of uneasy masters, Cai Ye's body can only get worse and worse. Therefore, the body is the capital of the revolution, and now that Cai Ye has no capital, the revolution is naturally impossible to talk about.
It seems that he has a premonition that he is likely to take a break from Japan this time, Cai Ye looked at Wang Zhenyu and seemed to be in the spirit again, he endured the pain and wanted to come to the pen and paper to communicate with Wang Zhenyu.
"Brother Wenzheng, we are all fellow villagers of Baoqing Mansion, if I leave first, my wife and children will ask you to take care of me. My subordinate Tang Jiyao will inevitably be incompatible, and I can't do much for them, if I die in Japan, I beg you to give this letter to Liu Xianshi in Guizhou, Luo Peijin in Sichuan, and Gu Pinzhen in Yunnan, and ask them to contact Liu Yunfeng, Deng Taizhong, Yang Zhen, Zhao Youxin, Dong Hongxun, He Haiqing, and others. Tang Jiyao is short-sighted, narrow-minded, unruly, and intolerant, so the three southwestern provinces will be merged into the national government! Songpa is not talented, and there is no way to lead them on. In addition, my classmate Jiang Baili is very talented, but he can't do it at the right time, and he hopes that Brother Wenzheng will reuse it in his hometown. Not very grateful! ”
Wang Zhenyu's eyes widened when he saw these words, it was really fake, but thinking about Cai Yi's body, it is estimated that this is true. Poor Cai Yi's ambition, if it weren't for himself as a traveler and his own poor physical condition, maybe he wouldn't have come to this point at all.
However, Wang Zhenyu still set his sights on Cai Yi, a real immortal general and pillar: "Hand over the foundation you created single-handedly, Brother Songpo, aren't you sad?" ”
Cai Yi shook his head and wrote: "Life is short, turning into nothing, the general trend of the world, divided and combined, but that's it." I just hope that those brothers who follow me will have a good home! That's all I can do, in fact, the outcome of the three southwestern provinces still depends on you, Brother Wenzheng, and the country also pleases you, Songpo hopes that one day, the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment, and the country can no longer be bullied by the powers. Unfortunately, I can't see it. ”
Seeing this passage, Wang Zhenyu's tears couldn't help but pour out, this is Cai Yi, who was followed by his maternal great-grandfather's five brothers, such a mind, such a bearing, he actually went in his early thirties, what a jealous talent!
