Chapter 563: Warlords of the Three Provinces

PS: (Thanks to daips22 for the valuable monthly pass)

Huo Quzhi's so-called resignation was just a gesture, and the vicinity of Hankou and Hanyang were his base camps, and these two towns were still in his hands. If he did resign from his post and refused to cooperate with the Revolutionary Party any longer, there would be a split within the Revolutionary Party. Of course, this is not good for Huo Quai, and his relationship with the revolutionaries will become stiff if he makes such trouble, which is not conducive to his future development.

For Xuanyuan Jian, Huo Quzhi's threat was not the slightest powerful, and he knew that Huo Qubing could not really break with the revolutionary party. However, the NPC of the revolutionary party did not think so, the revolutionaries had been making trouble for so many years, and finally looked forward to the victory of the Wuchang Uprising, and of course did not want to affect the great cause of the revolution because of internal problems.

No matter how Xuanyuan Jian guaranteed that Huo Qubing would not resign, the Revolutionary Party NPC still decided to compromise and let Li Yuanhong serve as the governor of the Hubei Military Government. The revolutionaries discussed for a long time, but Li Yuanhong, the person concerned, was not very happy. He was bent on handing over the work and going to Guangxi to mix, and suddenly the revolutionary party rebelled successfully, and let him take the post of governor, which was too big a change.

Li Yuanhong was not very optimistic about the prospects of the revolution, so he was really not interested in the position of governor, and besides, he was already loyal to Lord Chen, so he had to listen to Lord Chen's opinion on what to do. However, Li Yuanhong did not hesitate for too long, and on October 12, Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi, sent a telegram to the whole country, announcing that Guangxi would be separated from the jurisdiction of the Qing court and establish the Guangxi Military Government of the Han Dynasty, and he recognized himself as the governor of the military government.

After Guangxi declared independence, Li Yuanhong no longer hesitated, and he immediately agreed to serve as the governor of the Hubei Military Government, and announced that he would advance and retreat together with Guangxi. The Wuchang Uprising on October 10 shocked the Qing government, and the imperial court reacted swiftly by removing Ruicheng from his post and temporarily acting governor of Huguang.

The Qing government stopped the Yongping Autumn Exercise and ordered the Minister of War Yin Chang to rush to Hubei, and all Hubei troops and reinforcements were under its control. At the same time, he ordered Admiral Sa Zhenbing to lead the navy and the Yangtze River Naval Division. Quickly set off to the Wuhan River, and Chen Ba, the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, first sent additional gunboats to support.

The order of the imperial court was issued, and the governor of Guangxi, Chen Baxian, announced an uprising, which made the top echelons of the imperial court tremble. Chen Baxian is not only the governor of Guangxi, but also has the most powerful navy, and the power in his hands is too strong. And Chen Baxian has been invincible for many years. The image of the victorious general has long been created, and his uprising gave the imperial court a fatal blow.

The imperial court hurriedly withdrew the order previously issued, and asked Sa Zhenbing to return to Bohai to defend Gyeonggi immediately, and at the same time ordered Yin Chang and Feng Guozhang to quickly exterminate the rebellious party in Hubei. In the eyes of the imperial court, Chen Baxian in Guangxi is a big trouble, and he must quickly exterminate the uprising and rebellious party in Hubei in order to concentrate his forces to deal with Chen Baxian.

On October 14, the Qing government organized the first, second, and third armies, and went to the fourth town of the army in Hubei with Yinchang and mixed the third and eleventh associations into the first army. Yinchang is the military commander; With the Fifth Town of the Army as the Second Army, Feng Guozhang as the military commander; With the Janissaries and the First Army Town as the Third Army, and Zaitao as the military commander, they quickly assembled near Hankou.

Faced with this situation, the Hubei military government decided to first sweep away the enemy forces in Hankow, and then advance north to stop the Qing army from moving south. The defense of Hankou and Hanyang began, and during the confrontation between the rebel army and the imperial army, Hunan, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Shanxi, Yunnan, Zhejiang, Guizhou, Jiangsu, Anhui, Guangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Sichuan and other provinces successively gained independence.

During the independence of each province, players participated in the independent mission. Many players took this opportunity to successfully clear their hands and become revolutionary comrades. The League is too loosely organized. Historically, many bureaucrats have been transformed into revolutionary parties, and players are also taking full advantage of this to whitewash themselves and use the opportunity of the Xinhai Revolution to gain political capital.

Among them, the independence of Yunnan was the smoothest, and due to Long Fei's rebellion in Yunnan, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Xiliang, was killed. After Zhao Erfeng led his army back to Sichuan to suppress the Baolu Movement, the newly appointed governor of Yunnan and Guizhou had not yet arrived. There is a power vacuum in Yunnan. Most of Yunnan was in the hands of two female generals, Liu Zixuan and Yudie, and less than an hour after Guangxi declared independence, Liu Zixuan came forward to announce the establishment of the Yunnan Military Government, and was willing to obey the command of Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi.

Long Fei has been active in Dali Mansion and saw Chen Baxian completely grasp the whole province of Guangxi. controlled most of Yunnan, and he hated it so much. Because he was worried that Chen Baxian would do his best to exterminate himself, and at the same time, in order to demonstrate his revolutionary determination, Long Feiming announced his support for the establishment of the Yunnan Military Government and was willing to accept the command of the Yunnan Military Government.

Long Fei's so-called obedience to the command of the Yunnan military government is just a formality, and of course it is impossible for him to really hand over military power, but Liu Zixuan, who was elected as the governor of the military government, is very serious. After Long Fei issued a telegram, Liu Zixuan sent another telegram saying that he welcomed Long Fei's uprising, was willing to appoint Long Fei as the deputy governor of the military government, and demanded that all the armies in Yunnan be reorganized.

Long Fei said that his ability was limited, and he did not dare to take up the post of deputy governor of the military government, and was willing to garrison Dali. Liu Zixuan reprimanded righteously, and sent a telegram saying that Long Fei was narrow-minded and inferior to the female streamers, and disliked the position of deputy governor and was unwilling to unify the army. If Long Fei was determined to serve as the governor, she was willing to abdicate and give up Yunnan to Long Fei for the sake of the great cause of the revolution.

Even if he was infamous, as long as he could control the entire Yunnan Longfei, he was willing, so he announced that he would accept Liu Zixuan's invitation to serve as the governor of the Yunnan Military Government. Public opinion was scolded, thinking that Long Fei's behavior was shameful, and Long Fei pretended to be deaf and dumb for the sake of benefits. It's a pity that things are not so simple, Liu Zixuan is letting go and giving way, and other revolutionary comrades may not be willing.

Yudie, who served as the head of the military affairs department of the Yunnan Military Government, quickly sent a telegram to reprimand Long Fei, saying that Long Fei was a court bureaucrat who only knew opportunism, and if Long Fei was the governor, she would lead her troops to leave. The governor of Guangxi, Chen Baxian, soon issued a telegram, in which he listed what Long Fei had done and labeled Long Fei a "fake revolution".

Master Chen reminded the vast number of revolutionary comrades to be vigilant against the fake revolution and not to let the fake revolution steal the fruits of victory, and resolutely opposed Long Fei's appointment as the governor of the Yunnan Military Government. Li Yuanhong, the governor of the Hubei Military Government, and Li Liejun, the governor of the Jiangxi Military Government, soon issued telegrams supporting the opinion of Chen Baxian, the governor of Guangxi, that they should be vigilant against fake revolutions like Long Fei.

At the critical moment of the Xinhai Revolution, Long Fei not only failed to get any benefits, but his reputation was further ruined. He quickly chose to shut up, and no matter what the outside world said, he was in a very bad situation now. Trapped in western Yunnan, the number of troops in his hands is limited, and he has not been able to grasp the name of righteousness. Now Chen Baxian is in full swing, and he is even more determined to win Yunnan, and it is too difficult to get benefits in his hands.

Long Fei thought that if he maintained his presence in Yunnan, he would always have the opportunity to fight Chen Baxian, and now he was completely dead. He didn't know why Li Yuanhong, the governor of Hubei, and Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi, would come forward to support Chen Baxian, but he believed that there must be something greasy in them, Chen Baxian did things step by step, never leaving anyone any chance, and it was difficult for Long Fei to compete in Yunnan in this situation.

Long Fei did not leave himself a way back, he chose the base in Dali Mansion, and retreated to Sichuan and Tibet when the situation was not good. After being squeezed by Liu Zixuan and ruining his reputation, he began to consider entering the Sichuan-Tibet region in advance, looking for a mission opportunity that could reverse his reputation.

Chen Hao's focus was not on Yunnan, Long Fei decided to take Dali Mansion as the foundation, and he had already lost strategically. Developing in the western part of Yunnan, leaving a retreat to Sichuan-Tibet, looks like an excellent choice. Long Fei was right when he first started the layout, but he didn't expect that other players would control most of Yunnan and announce the establishment of a military government in the Xinhai year, so he became very passive.

The year of Xinhai is a time for players to mix up political capital, and the players who occupy Kunming announce the establishment of the Yunnan military government, so that it can be recognized by other provinces. Long Fei, who chose to develop in Dali, had very limited influence no matter how he tossed it, and Liu Zixuan, who established the Yunnan Military Government, made him deflated by a few excuses.

Sooner or later, the entire territory of Yunnan will be controlled by Chen Hao, and the few prefectures occupied by Long Fei will not be able to stop his attack, and he will focus on Guizhou. Because he changed many plots and sent a large number of well-known characters to Guizhou, Guizhou is more lively than in history.

Historically, the constitutionalists and the autonomous society in Guizhou had a lot of trouble, and finally the constitutionalists invited the Yunnan army to enter Guizhou, and Tang Jiyao killed in Guiyang. In the game, the two sides are also in turmoil, Chen Hao transferred to the NPC in Guizhou, except for those who are loyal to him, some of the other NPCs support the constitutionalists, and the other part supports the autonomous society.

The Guizhou Military Government of the Han Dynasty was established, consisting of the Governor, the Executive Premier, and the Privy Council, with Yang Xincheng as the Governor, Zhou Peiyi as the Executive Premier, and Zhang Bailin as the President of the Privy Council. After the success of the revolution, Zhang Bailin advocated "unity, concerted efforts, and mutual help in times of difficulty", adopted a tolerant attitude towards Liu Xianshi and others, and appointed him as a privy councillor and head of the military and political unit.

Ping Gang, Huang Zelin and others were very disgusted by this, they believed that Liu Xianshi "is the champion of the tiger, entrenched in Xingyi for generations, fish and meat villagers, and now recruited by Shen Fu, to resist the revolution, the right to be a snake, and to bow my elbows and armpits, if this is not punished, it will be troubled." "Advocate drastic measures. Zhang Bailin disagreed, declaring, "Even if I treat people less, people will not harm me", and he did not take any precautions.

The Guizhou constitutionalists were not willing to accept the power of the Autonomous Society, and secretly sent people to Yunnan to ask Liu Zixuan to send people to Guizhou to seize power. Chen Hao had already made arrangements for this, Xu Xilin led a brigade of troops to Zhenyuan Mansion, where he was stationed, and when the Autonomous Society and the Constitutionalists were in trouble, Xu Xilin led his troops into Guiyang to "mediate".

Xu Xilin was a member of the Liberation Society, with a large number of supporters among the constitutionalists, and he was naturally elected governor of Guizhou. Originally, the Yunnan army entered Guizhou in 1912, but due to a large number of plot changes, Xu Xilin led the troops to mediate the contradictions between the constitutionalists and the autonomous students, and the Guizhou military government was on the right track.

Xu Xilin had long been loyal to Chen Hao, and after he became the governor of Guizhou, Chen Hao effectively controlled most of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan, and became a major warlord who monopolized the three provinces. (To be continued......)
