"Huh?" Chen Xunen's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Jie suspiciously, meaning that what I said just now was in vain? Then he said: "Please also ask Brother Geng Guang to teach!" ”

Yang Jie also didn't sell Guan Zi: "Zhang Chunshan and Li Huangpi have been friends for a long time, and they are arrogant and arrogant, Li Huangpi has long been dissatisfied, so he used to work with Yuan Xiangcheng to send Zhang Chunshan to the capital to wait for leisure. The fastest update 78 // Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunshan did not wake up, but sneaked back to Hubei, calling friends and friends, and forced Li Huangpi to kill. However, Zhang Chunshan is the first righteous father, and it is okay to be idle in his post, or to be placed in the borderland, and it is indispensable to drive him out of the sea, be bound by Houlu, and put the capital under house arrest, but he cannot be killed". Zhang Chunshan's death made Li Huangpi very passive in the short term.

First of all, politically, although Yuan Xiangcheng assisted him in killing Zhang Chunshan, he was by no means sincere, and even deliberately framed him. Expecting Yuan Xiangcheng to come forward to help him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. In the eyes of the revolutionaries, Zhang Chunshan contributed to the Republic of China, and Li Huangpi and Yuan Xiangcheng joined forces to execute Zhang Chunshan as a sabotage of the republic and a blow to the revolutionary forces. If our New China Party fails in the Senate again, the bill to impeach Le Hoang Pi is likely to pass. In this way, there will be a leaderless situation in Hubei, which will give us an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Secondly, in the military, as Yan and Brother Xian said just now, although Li Huangpi has 8 town troops, he has only been in charge of Hubei for more than half a year, during which wars and riots have continued. Later, the soldiers were reduced and reorganized, and as a result, he still did not have full control over all the troops. Hubei is the place where the revolution was first born, and there are many meritorious officers and soldiers in the revolution. When he heard that he was plotting to frame Zhang Chunshan, he would inevitably be filled with righteous indignation. In the "Historical Records", it is said that the Chu people are 'easy to get angry with their customs', they like to move and be evil, and a little provocation will definitely make Li Huangpi take care of himself.

"Thirdly, in terms of economy, Yan and his brother mentioned that Sichuan and Shaanxi are overstretched, but they don't know that Hubei's financial constraints are even worse than those in Sichuan and Shaanxi. In the past, when people mentioned Hubei, they would think of 'Huguangshu'. The rumor of 'the world's foot' reminds me of light and heavy industries such as Hanyang Iron Works, gauze, silk and linen Fourth Bureau. But since October last year, Hubei has been in turmoil. As a result, the agricultural waste was in the wilderness, the labor was scarce, the merchants were stuck, and even the Han Yeping Company, which was looking after the family, was sold to the China Industrial Machinery Company, and the Hubei Provincial Governor's Office could only rely on borrowing foreign debts to survive.

"Now that Li Huangpi is politically isolated, militarily unstable, and economically constrained, Hubei is agitated. The people have no means of making a living. At this time, Fang Xuchu led the school regiment and the guards of the Military Order Division to invite us to enter Hubei, and the time, place, and people were all occupied by us, isn't it a God-given opportunity? At this time, if you don't send troops to take it for yourself, when will you wait? ”

Chen Xunen was a little moved by Yang Jie's words, and began to silently think about what the chances of winning in Hubei were there.

"Yan Ji, Geng Guang, you are talking a little far!" Sun Yuanqi suddenly cleared his throat and said, "The crux of the issue I just said is not only whether we should agree to Fang Xuchu's request to send troops into Hubei, but also whether it is legal if we send troops into Hubei. The news of Zhang Chunshan's murder broke. There was an uproar in the capital. Why is there such an uproar? The identity of Zhang Chunshan's first righteous father is one thing, but the more important reason is that the procedures carried out are illegal. Even if the procedure is dismissed as illegal. After all, it was signed by the president, countersigned by the army chief, and implemented by the Military Law Enforcement Division. If we send troops into Hubei without permission, we don't even have the procedures to make it illegal, wouldn't it be even more illegal? What will happen to the public opinion of the whole country at that time?

"When I talked to Mr. Nakayama, the Great President, Prime Minister Shaochuan, and others, I repeatedly stressed that we should try to confine the political struggle within the House of Councillors as much as possible, rather than resorting to force, so as to ensure the basic stability of the people's daily life, the healthy development of agriculture, industry, and commerce, and the restoration of the country's vitality as soon as possible. If he breaks his promise and fattens himself for his own selfish interests now, what face does Sun have to face them here? What kind of face does he have to be the chief educator of teaching and educating people? So no matter what, I don't want to start a private army and destroy the precedent of the republic! ”

"Sir!" Yang Jie frowned and shouted, "The so-called 'big bank ignores the details, and the big gifts do not give up', not to mention that Hubei is very important to Sichuan!" Although Sichuan and Shaanxi have the danger of Kuimen and the solidity of Kuihan, and are called the land of abundance, from the perspective of the national pattern, the weather is slightly cramped. Because the south, north, and west directions of Sichuan and Shaanxi are either high mountains and rivers, miasma, or the Gobi Desert and grasslands, sparsely populated, and the people are mixed, and the gains and losses have nothing to do with the overall situation. The only way to make a difference is to go east.

"There are three roads to the east, one from Shanxi out of Niangzi Pass, Pingxing Pass straight to the Beijing Division; One went down from Hangu to the east and swept Henan, Zhili and Shandong. It's just that these two roads have to directly face Yuan Xiangcheng's Beiyang Army, and Yuan Xiangcheng has already set up heavy troops to guard the dangerous places in Henan and Zhili, and it is difficult to shake it in a short time. So there is only one last way left, which is to go down the Yangtze River and capture Hubei. Hubei is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, the upper passes through Bashu, the lower connects Wuyue, the north can approach the Central Plains along the Luhan line, and the south can look down on Hunan and Guizhou, which is really a place where soldiers must fight. Now is a God-given opportunity, 'Heaven and Buddha take it, but suffer the blame'! ”

Chen Xunen also persuaded: "My lord, the former governor of Hubei was Li Huangpi, and we can accept it, because although Li Huangpi is the vice president, he only has one province in his hands, and he can't fight against the joint forces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Jin provinces, so Sichuan can sit back and relax." Now, if Li Huangpi is impeached and removed from office, the new governor of Hubei will definitely be Yuan Xiangcheng's confidant, and if it were not for Yuan's figures, the presidential palace would probably repeat its old tricks and follow the trick of dealing with Wang Tieshan (Wang Zhixiang), and not use the seal on the letter of appointment. In this way, the throat of the Yangtze River will be firmly choked by Yuan Xiangcheng, and Sichuan will be in danger! ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Yan Ji rest assured, the revolutionary party will never give up the post of governor of Hubei. If Yuan Xiangcheng dares to nominate his confidant to be the governor of Hubei, our New China Party will join hands with the League to veto the appointment of the Great Presidential Office in the cabinet. ”

Chen Xunen shook his head and said: "That's not appropriate, the Yangtze River waterway is so important, after all, it is safer to be in your own hands!" ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Why don't I know this truth? It's just that now that the Republic of China has begun, the whole country should follow the rule of law and set an example for future generations. Countering violence with violence and countering illegality with illegality can win temporary benefits, but it will ruin the country's long-term peace and stability, so it is best to take a step back. ”

Yang Jie's eyes rolled: "Since Mr. wants the Yangtze River waterway, and he wants not to break the promise of prohibiting force, the student has a way to get the best of both worlds!" ”

"Oh?" Sun Yuanqi and Chen Xunen were a little curious.

Yang Jie said: "Although Fang Xuchu sent us a telegram to express his intention to return to Shun and surrender, he is still in Hubei, and he is still a member of the Hubei Governor's Mansion. If he led his troops to occupy Hubei, it would naturally not be regarded as a broken promise. ”

Chen Xunen retorted: "Now that Fang Xuchu has led more than 1,000 people from the general regiment and the military order division to be stationed in Xiangyang and Yunyang, it is not enough to protect himself, how can he have the strength to occupy the whole province of Hubei?" The 8 towns in Li Huangpi's hands are not vegetarian! Even if the soldiers of those 8 towns were all local chickens and dogs, kneeling in a row and letting Fang Xuchu's subordinates cut off their heads, they were afraid that they would be tired to death! ”

Yang Jie said with a smile: "Fang Xuchu has no soldiers under his command, but we have in Shaanxi and Sichuan!" The student's strategy was to let Jiang Zuobin and Zhang Fenghui from Shaanxi, Liu Mingzhao and Yin Changheng from Sichuan each bring 4,000 people into Hubei, and reorganize with Fang Xuchu's department into a town, and first gain a firm foothold in Xiangyang and Yunyang. When the time was right, the army divided into two routes, one route was attacked by De'an, and then south along the Luhan line; Attacked all the way to Anlu Mansion, went straight down the Han River, and outflanked Hanyang and Wuchang at the same time. If it is not a coincidence, then divide the troops to occupy Yichang and Shinan, which are adjacent to Sichuan, and drive a wedge at the junction of Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei, and wait for future opportunities. ”

Chen Xunen got up and made a gesture on the map, then nodded: "Occupying Shinan can ensure that the raw materials of Artemisia annua produced in the Wumu Mountains will not leak out; The occupation of Yichang can ensure that the road out of Sichuan is smooth and will not be controlled by others. At the same time, Yichang and Xiangyang are strategic places, with dangerous terrain and high buildings, and you can peek down into Jingzhou, Hanyang and Wuchang at any time. Not bad, not bad! ”

Sun Yuanqi pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, just according to what Geng Guang said." However, this matter must be cautious and not let others catch the handle. For specific matters, Geng Guang will contact Fang Xuchu, Jiang Zhongzheng, and Zhao Xingzhi! ”

In fact, not long after Sun Yuanqi received the telegram, Jiang Zhiqing and Zhao Jingxing also received calls from Fang Wei respectively.

It was said that after Jiang Zhiqing received the call, he hurriedly sent someone to invite Yang to come and discuss. After half a pillar of incense, Yang Du shook the paper fan and walked into the Governor's Mansion, saw Jiang Zhiqing arch his hand casually, and then found a chair and sat down: "Brother Zhongzheng, what are you doing to find a foolish brother?" I'm busy, so keep it short! ”

Jiang Zhiqing said with a smile: "How is Chen Yangquan recently? Honest, isn't it? ”

Yang Du slapped the fan a few times before replying: "He, I sent him to southern Sichuan to repair roads!" Haven't you recently discovered a large iron ore mine in Huili? Whether it was transporting the railway along the Jinsha River to Hanyang, or directly building an iron factory in Huili, the road always had to be repaired. It happened that the construction of the road was the responsibility of the Department of Internal Affairs, so he was sent to Huili. When you go to that place of poor mountains and bad waters, you will become honest if you are not honest. ”

Jiang Zhiqing blinked his eyes: "Build a road? Where did the money come from? I remember that every piece of silver in the treasury was strictly determined by Zhang Xing, where did you get this money? ”

Yang Du replied calmly: "Who said that building a road must cost money? ”

Jiang Zhiqing was surprised: "How can you build a road without spending money?" ”

"Then it's up to the human! Sun Baixi only said that he was exempted from the land tax in Sichuan Province, but did not say that he was exempted from hard labor. So I took advantage of the slack to send some people to repair the road, and by the way, I found some work for Chen Yangquan to save him from getting sick. Yang Du said in a natural tone, "Brother Zhongzheng, what are you looking for me?" I'm busy! (To be continued......)
