Chapter 314: Southwest Incident (2)

Wuhua Mountain, Yunnan, Tang Jiyao, the overseer of Yunnan at the time, was a little annoyed. Speaking of which, he is also a little bit back, and he contributed the most when the Dian Army was created. After Cai Ye went north, Tang Jiyao was also a loyal housekeeper for Cai Ye. And later Cai Ye came back to launch the Protectorate War, Tang Jiyao also supported it, although it was said that this was shaken a little in front of Yuan Shikai's title and Dayang Qian halfway, but the big festival was not lost, and finally got rid of this temptation.

But I didn't expect Cai Ye to hold a grudge because of this. If you go to Japan for treatment, you can cure the disease! actually made a report to revoke the Southwest Military Government, Ge Laozi, how many brothers in the Dian Army bought it with blood with a knife and a gun? was actually sent out by Cai Songpo with such a sentence, and it was not possible to give it to anyone, but it was given to the national government. Isn't it just looking at Wang Zhenyu and him, Cai Songpo are both from Baoqing? It's really fertile water that doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, and these Hunan people know how to hold together.

Thinking of this, Tang Jiyao made up his mind that when he passed this hurdle, Lao Tzu must send all the Hunan people in the team out of the country, and this Yunnan has to be our Yunnan people in charge of their own homes.

But what really gives Tang Jiyao a headache now is that his control over the Dian army is very limited, at least Luo Peijin can't control it. If Cai Songpo is dead now, people will still be consuming it in Japan!

Tang Jiyao thought about it, but felt that he still couldn't wait for people to come to the door, so he immediately sent his cronies to Luo Peijin and Dai Kan in Sichuan and Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng in Guizhou, hoping to be a trinity and conspire to advance and retreat. At the same time, Tang Jiyao transferred the three divisions of the Third Army of the former Protector Army, Xie Ruyi, Hu Ruoyu, and Li Xuanting, who were loyal to him, to the vicinity of Yunnan before he felt a little relieved.

When Yang Du and his entourage arrived in Chongqing, the army in Sichuan had three armies and twelve divisions.

At this time, after Tang Jiyao's operation, the situation in Sichuan has changed a lot, not to mention Yang Du, even Cai Yi himself may not be able to control the situation when he comes back. Luo Peijin, who succeeded Cai Yi as commander of the First Army of the Yasukuni Yunnan Army, had just accepted Tang Jiyao's appointment as acting overseer of Sichuan, and Xiong Kewu, who had already been suspicious of Tang Jiyao, was transferred to the post of commander-in-chief of the Yasukuni Sichuan Army and governor of Sichuan Province, which also accelerated Xiong Kewu's determination to annex Nanjing. And Luo Peijin's mind also changed dramatically after becoming an overseer, and he naturally turned a blind eye to Cai Yi's letter asking him to support the annexation to Nanjing.

Tang Jiyao's appointment was later called a big failure by historians, you must know that the Dian army in Sichuan at this time only had Gu Pinzhen, Zhao Youxin, three divisions, and Xiong Kewu's Sichuan army (not necessarily all listened to Xiong Kewu) had five divisions, but Nugang, Liu Cunhou, Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, and Lu Chao. And the Sichuan army also controls the whole of Sichuan and even Chongqing, the throat of the southwest, and the more important is still to come, Luo Peijin does not know what the overall situation is, he has always advocated a strong Yunnan and a weak Sichuan, and the first order he issued after taking office as the Sichuan overseer on September 18 was to rectify Sichuan's finances, so it was a bad thing.

Specifically, Luo Peijin's reform plan was that the annual salary of each division of the Yunnan Army was 1.2 million yuan, while that of the Sichuan Army was only 800,000 yuan per division. At this moment, the contradiction between the Sichuan army and the Yunnan army was openly put on the table, causing the division commanders of the Sichuan army to send telegrams to protest. The five division commanders of the Sichuan Army, who were originally not united with each other and still had old grievances, began to raise their eyebrows, emphasizing that we are all fellow countrymen, and we must remember to help each other.

On September 29, Luo Peijin, who had not yet sat firmly in the position of overseer, actually had the idea of dismantling the Sichuan army, and for this reason, he also found Dai Kan, Wang Wenhua, and Yuan Zuming, the three division commanders of the Yasukuni Guizhou Army stationed in Sichuan, to discuss the matter.

In the end, it was on the land of the Sichuan people, the news spread quickly, and the bigwigs of the Sichuan army couldn't sit still, originally it was only Xiong Kewu and Lu Chao who had the intention of attaching themselves to Nanjing, and now Liu Xiang, Liu Cunhou, and Yang Sen These local snakes have also begun to fall in this direction.

When Gong Peng, the head of the Southwest Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, handed Yang Du a lot of these materials, Yang Du had a rough idea in his mind to solve the southwest problem.

"Stationmaster Gong, I want to meet with Xiong Kewu, can you arrange it here. In addition, my visit to Chongqing is confidential, and I try not to let outsiders know. ”

Gong Peng nodded that it was no problem, and then turned around to make arrangements.

This time Yang Du did not come empty-handed, in addition to the 10 million Hua Yuan used to buy the heroes of Sichuan, behind Yang Du, Tang Shengzhi's Ninth Division stationed in Changde, Dai Yue's Sixth Division stationed in Yichang, and Li Pinxian's Seventh Division transferred from Jiujiang, as well as Deng Keng's 14th Division stationed in Luyang, a total of 100,000 troops were mobilized for combat and replenished troops and materials. More than 30,000 working groups composed of Kuomintang cadres and security forces are also being set up intensively, and the local units and security forces in the three provinces of Hunan, Guangxi, and Hubei, which are adjacent to the southwest, are also fully replenished with combat ammunition and are in a state of combat readiness. Wang Zhenyu's meaning is very clear, it is best not to use troops, if you have to do it, then you must be quick and ruthless, and there will be no trouble.

At this time, the first political dispute of the Nanjing government gradually subsided under the mediation of Huang Xing's illness, and Hu Hanmin finally allocated 40 million yuan from the newly added 60 million Chinese yuan of customs revenue to the local government of Guangdong Province for its land requisition, water and electricity supply. And Zhang Taiyan also saw Liliang of the alliance in this struggle, and felt that it was better to seek common ground while reserving differences. But just when everyone thought that the first political dispute was about to end, Wang Zhenyu threw a hot potato at Nanjing, and the fire of the political dispute was ignited again, but this time Wang Zhenyu really didn't mean it.

From the first day of the establishment of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, the delegates to the National Assembly have been arguing endlessly on the question of whether to use military training to govern the country or to govern the country according to law. On the surface, it is just a dispute over the form of government, but in essence it is a question of the distribution of power. If it weren't for Wang Zhenyu's current strength being too strong, it is estimated that the National Assembly and the Nationalist Government would have shouted for Wang Zhenyu to get out. Who doesn't want power to be in their own hands?

Wang Zhenyu is also clear about this, no matter how many concessions he makes, it is impossible to satisfy others, maybe only if he loses everything, others will be satisfied, and he will sympathize with poor you with a pity. Although Wang Zhenyu didn't plan to become a **, he would not allow himself to fall to that point after having tried the taste of power. However, at the moment, he was not worried about this at all, he grabbed the barrel of the gun through the military committee with one hand, and tightened his money bag through the China Development Corporation with the other hand, so he was naturally not afraid of any serious situation.

What he threw at Nanjing this time was not actually a bomb, but power, the power of judicial independence.

When the National Government was established in April, it set up the Supreme Court, which was positioned from the very beginning not to be accountable to the government, but directly to the National Assembly, and his ** official was still for life. At present, the Nationalist Government is actually practicing the policy of ruling the party with the military and the government with the party. However, the independence and sanctity of the judiciary were respected and protected by the military clique headed by Wang Zhenyu, and with the implementation of policies such as land reform and urbanization and industrialization, the influence of the judicial system on social life became more and more great. All factions within the Kuomintang wanted to take control of the judicial system, and Wang Zhenyu threw that opportunity out now.

This power is the right to appoint and dismiss the first-class officials of the provinces, and Wang Zhenyu is also real, so he recommended three people, Qin Zhen, the ** official of Hunan Province, Shen Hongru, the ** official of Zhejiang Province, and Lin Zhijun, the ** official of Fujian Province, and the other six provinces were left to the national government to appoint themselves.

At this moment, Nanjing's originally calm political situation boiled again, Wu Tingfang's threshold for lifelong ** official was almost broken, and all factions in the party are also active to strive to install people from their own faction in the appointment of provincial ** officials, because once this position is obtained, it means that the power of the judicial system in this province in the next five years will be in their own hands, when emphasizing judicial independence, the court has a lot of adjustment and influence on social relations and contradictions, no matter from that point of view, This power is more useful than the military seems to be.

As a result, Huang Xing's face immediately became worthless, and the Alliance Department and the Liberation Society Department immediately rolled up their sleeves and started a war......

The verbal attacks on each other are still light, and the voices within the two factions advocating the elimination of each other by assassination appear from time to time, in the words of the Guangfu Department, wasn't our boss Tao Chengzhang killed by them in this way? Fortunately, both Sun Wen and Zhang Taiyan's minds are quite calm, what are you kidding, you little bastards really think that Wuhan is a mud bodhisattva? There is a bottom line in everything, everyone is playing ** debate or something in Nanjing, it is estimated that he has no time to deal with it, but if he plays assassination coup or something, he will take action.

Now this kind of happy life with a house, a car, the right to money, and a junior is not easy to come by, and a few of the bosses here are not displaced in the first half of their lives in exchange for today's happy life, if anyone dares to destroy this good situation of stability and harmony, there is no need for Wang Zhenyu to gnaw, the bigwigs of the two factions will stand up very enthusiastically to shoot him to death. As a result, although the power struggle in Nanjing seemed fierce, it was only under the pen of journalists, and the biggest effect was to increase the sales of relevant newspapers and periodicals, and the government itself was not greatly affected. Everyone is just bickering, and then throwing shoes at each other at the meeting of the National Convention, and the strong ones may also wave their fists or something, in short, the atmosphere is very good, at least more than the united and victorious congress that slept together when the later generations met.

On October 3, Lieutenant General Li Zongren, who was in the limelight for a while after the Battle of the Southeast, was in the limelight with the total annihilation of the main force of more than 100,000 Beiyang Army, and was received by Wang Zhenyu in a separate meeting at Wenlu in Wuhan......
