Jiang Zhiqing took out a telegram and handed it to Yang Du: "This is a telegram just sent by Fang Xuchu, the head of the Hubei General Regiment, he wants to take refuge in us, and hopes that we will send troops into Hubei to destroy Li Bodhisattva for him." What do you think about this, Mr. Huizi? ”

Yang Du read the telegram at a glance and put it on the table: "Brother Zhongzheng, I shouldn't be asked what I think about this matter, I should be asked what Baixi thinks of it." Feel relieved! Since Fang Xuchu sent a telegram to us, he must have sent it to Baixi as well, and if nothing else, there should be instructions soon. ”

Jiang Zhiqing rubbed his hands and said: "What Mr. Huizi said is extremely true, I expect that Mr. Sun will have instructions soon, but Mr. Sun's instructions will eventually need us to implement them, so the opinions of you and me are equally important, right?" Moreover, this is the first time that Chiang has handled such a major military and political affairs since he took office as governor, wouldn't it be better if we could accurately grasp Mr. Sun's intentions, instead of just carrying out the dry orders on the telegram? ”

Yang Du said: "If you want me to say, Fang Xuchu will definitely have no problem defecting to us, his generals and regiments are all well-trained officers who have gone through battle formations, and this is what our army is currently lacking the most, such a good thing of drowsiness and pillows, no matter who will not refuse, Sun Baixi is no exception." The key is whether we want to send troops into Hubei, and I think this is also the issue that the Zhongzheng brothers are most concerned about, right? ”..

Jiang Zhiqing nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly!" Hubei's defense of the Yangtze River waterway out of eastern Sichuan is like a sharp knife against Sichuan's throat, which can cut us off at any time, so we can't help but care. Moreover, the territory of Sichuan is already peaceful. The gentry who had been cut off from their wealth hated us to the core, and wanted to overthrow us all the time; Although the army has sent all Yin Changheng and Chen Xiao's cronies into Tibet, no one knows how many hidden piles have not been cleared; zhèngfǔ in Chen Mi and Zhang Peijue, the two great dissidents. On the surface, they are deferential, and we have stripped their power, but no one knows what they are doing in secret. It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to the east under the pretext of sending them out of Sichuan! ”

"Yang is still the old saying, as long as we can control the army in Sichuan, we are not afraid of what waves they will make!" Yang Du said disapprerovingly: "As for sending troops into Hubei. Sun Baixi will definitely have some concerns in the capital, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to agree to Fang Xuchu's request. ”

Jiang Zhiqingqi said: "Mr. Sun is a member of the cabinet and the chairman of the New China Party. The limelight is unique for a while, Yuan Xiangcheng and Tang Shaochuan have to avoid one end when they see it, he still needs to have concerns about doing things? ”

Yang Du shook the paper fan and said: "The higher the position, the more you have to tremble!" Although Sun Baixi is now powerful, he can rank among the top five in the country. But that doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants. And Sun Baixi's perspective on the problem is also different from you and me. Take the matter of sending troops into Hubei as an example, you and I may be more concerned about whether things can be done and whether they can be successful; As for Sun Baixi, the focus of his attention is on whether the procedure for sending troops is legal, what is the social impact, and so on.

Moreover, it can be seen from some of the speeches and measures taken after Baixi Izukawa that he strongly hoped that the political struggle would be confined to the Senate 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. This time, Zhang Zhenwu was executed by the military and political law enforcement, and the focus of the controversy was also on whether the procedure was legal. Before the Senate made a formal ruling. He could not have resorted to more violent and illegal means against Lê Hoang Pi. ”

Jiang Zhiqing was a little depressed: "If the struggle is confined to the Senate in the future instead of resorting to force, then won't the national political pattern always remain unchanged from the current situation?" ”

Yang Du smiled: "What is the political pattern in the future." Who can tell? However, judging from some of Sun Baixi's actions, he should think that a large-scale war will break out in the near future, and the national political pattern will change, so he must maintain the current relatively peaceful political situation and try to accumulate strength to deal with it in advance. You also know that although Sun Baixi is not very good at officialdom, he has always judged the political trend and the general trend of the country very accurately. At this point, Yang is also ashamed of himself! ”

Jiang Zhiqing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is this true?" Mr. Huizi, what do you mean by those actions? ”

Yang Duqu said: "For example, the Sichuan Army Military Academy has expanded its enrollment, established the Air Force, a new branch of the army, and set up a flight school; In Xi'an and Lanzhou, the Aviation Technology Research Institute and the Ordnance Science Research Institute were set up respectively, and the Beiping Iron Works and the Hanyang Iron Works continued to expand the production of weapons. Zhiyong pharmaceutical companies expand production capacity and accumulate inventory, and so on. If we are not preparing for future wars, why do we need to train officers on a large scale, produce and develop weapons, and store medicines? ”

Jiang Zhiqing slapped the table and said excitedly: "Mr. is sir, 'ordinary invisible, occasionally revealing'!" Of course, only such a gentleman is the gentleman we believe in, and the hope for the future of our Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Jin systems. Since Mr. has already taken precautions, then we, the students, must not lag behind, and must actively raise funds in terms of military supplies and soldiers, so as to prepare for the future war and victory. ”

While he was talking, the telegraph room dignitary hurriedly came to report: "Lord Dudu, běijīng secret telegram!" ”

Jiang Zhiqing and Yang Du couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

After the two read the telegram, Jiang Zhiqing took the lead and said: "It seems that Mr. Sun has taken advantage of the wind of Zhang Zhenwu's case to start the layout!" This time, our Sichuan mission is to lead 4,000 people led by Liu Mingzhao and Yin Changheng to enter Hubei, and reorganize them into a town with Fang Xu's initial department and Shaanxi's Jiang Zuobin and Zhang Fenghui's department in Xiangyang and Yunyang, and then act on cameras. But time is a little urgent!

"Shaanxi Jiang Zuobin Zhang Fenghui Department from Xi'an, Shangzhou, three miles can reach the adjacent Yunyang; And we need to reorganize the troops first, and then start from Chengdu Prefecture, through Tongchuan, Shunqing over the Daba Mountain to reach Yunyang, during which the mountain road is steep, and it will take at least half a month. Will it delay Mr.'s big event? ”

Yang Du used a paper fan to put a little on the map: "Since it is too wasteful of time to climb over Daba Mountain, then we will not go to Yunyang." Go straight here! ”

"Yichang Mansion?" Jiang Zhiqing couldn't help but be surprised after reading the map.

Yang Du bowed slightly: "Exactly!" I originally thought that Sun Baixi, after considering the legality of the procedure and the subsequent impact, would let Fang Xuchu's department avoid the territory of Sichuan and Shaanxi, but I didn't expect that the instructions would use the method of borrowing corpses to return the soul. Sending troops to aid Hubei in disguise. I think this is Yang Gengguang's handiwork, right? Fang Xuchu had a seven-trick exquisite heart, and Yang Gengguang was also a smart person, so he could see the key words and sentences in the telegram at a glance. After his change, the overall situation was completely new, and the strategy of Hubei became very successful. ”

Jiang Zhiqing hurriedly took the first telegram, flipped through it and read it several times, but he didn't find the key words and sentences that Yang Du said. I had to ask: "Mr. Huizi, what are the key words you are talking about?" ”

"It is the beginning of the sentence, 'More than 2,000 people led by the general regiment and the military order division guard team were promoted from Wuchang before the ninth rì and went through hardships. Yesterday rì arrived in Xiangyang'. Yang Du replied.

Jiang Zhiqing pondered for a long time: "There doesn't seem to be any mystery?" ”

Yang Du said: "Do you think, why did the general regiment and the military order division guard team originally stationed near the provincial capital Wuchang suddenly want to be opened?" And the opening period happened to be the day when Zhang Zhenwu went north? It shows that Zhang Zhenwu had realized that Li Huangpi might be unfavorable to him before going north, and the general regiment and the military order division guard were his descendants. I will definitely suffer from Li Huangpi's poisonous hands. Therefore, the arrangements were made in advance, and at the same time as he went north, the general regiment and the military order division guard also left Wuchang.

"The key is still in the words 'hardships'. Wuchang and Xiangyang are less than a thousand miles away, and the Han River is connected in the middle, so if they don't encounter special circumstances, they can calmly hire a boat and reach Xiangyang smoothly by water, which is only seven or eight days of work. Where does it come to be 'through hardships'? Since Fang Xuchu said this, he wanted to make it vaguely clear that they were on their way to Xiangyang. was chased and intercepted by Li Huangpi's department.

"In addition, the word 'Xiangyang' is also very meaningful. Zhang Guoquan, commander of the Xiangyang Military and Political Branch, privately expanded the army after the success of the revolution, intending to support the army and stand on his own, and he has always been very resistant to Li Huangpi's order to reorganize the army. Zhang Zhenwu had some friendship with him, and he had a consensus on opposing Li Huangpi, so before he went north, he ordered Fang Xuchu to lead his troops to defect to Zhang Guoquan, hoping that the two sides could cooperate sincerely to fight against Li Huangpi. Who knew that after Fang Xuchu heard the news of Zhang Zhenwu's murder, he led his troops to quickly move in the direction of Yunyang Mansion, which shows that there was a quarrel between the two. ”

Jiang Zhiqing pouted: "What is it?" It was nothing more than Zhang Guoquan wanting to take advantage of Zhang Zhenwu's murder to annex Fang Xuchu's department, Fang Xuchu was not happy, and he was afraid that Zhang Guoquan would take advantage of the advantage of the head snake to play tricks, so he simply avoided Zhang Guoquan a little farther. Anyway, what kind of thing is that Zhang Guoquan? was just a big soldier before, and he was expelled from the army twice, and he was incompetent as a platoon commander in terms of ability; In terms of knowledge, it is not much bigger than sesame grains. Such cats and dogs, relying on the aftermath of the Jianghu Society, pulled more than a dozen people to take the opportunity to start an incident after the Wuchang Shouyi, and actually stole the military and political power in Xiangyang.

"If he can accept it when he sees it, he can obediently accept Li Huangpi's adaptation, and he can barely be a co-ordinator; If he can be open and honest and cooperate with Fang Xuchu, it is estimated that he can barely gain a foothold in the Xiangyang area. Who knew that he actually wanted to be Longwangshu, and he also wanted to annex Fang Xuchu's department and support troops in Xiangyang to stand on his own. Even if we can endure it, can Li Huangpi endure it? I think he's tired and crooked! ”

Yang Du said: "I don't know if Zhang Guoquan is tired of living, but I know that even if he wants to live, he won't be able to live for a few days!" Li Huangpi ordered his troops to pursue and intercept Fang Xuchu's subordinates without success, and he was absolutely unwilling in his heart, let alone let Fang Xuchu sit in the Xiangyang area; He had a bad relationship with Zhang Guoquan before, and this time he just picked up the grass and hit the rabbit without delay. Therefore, the pursuing troops will inevitably enter Xiangyang in a short time and have a big battle with Zhang Guoquan. ”

Jiang Zhiqing said: "Zhang Guoquan himself is not a good soldier, and he still expects his subordinates to be well-trained, brave and good at fighting?" I'm afraid that his three associations will collapse before the war starts, where will there be any 'big war'? ”

Yang Du disagreed: "In any case, as long as Li Huangpi's troops and Zhang Guoquan's troops are at war, he will go against Sun Baixi's hope of not resorting to force, and we will have a reason to fight between Sichuan and Hubei." It is estimated that at that time, Jiang Zuobin and Zhang Fenghui of Shaanxi had completed the reorganization of Fang Xu's initial department, and fought with the Li Huangpi department who came to attack in the Yunyang area. By the time we arrived at the battlefield with all our hard work, it was estimated that the battle would have been over long ago. Instead of that, we might as well go straight to Yichang.
