Chapter 126 Changde Changes Owners (1)

On July 13, the Jiangxi Provincial Parliament held a special meeting, and the public appointed Li Liejun as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi Anti-Yuan Army and Ouyang Wu as the governor, declaring his ties with the Beijing government.

On July 14, Huang Xing rushed to Nanjing and attacked Yuan's army under the basic organization of the First Division and the Eighth Division stationed in Nanjing, and planned to coerce Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan declared independence. That night, Huang Xing and others led their soldiers into the Governor's Office. Cheng Dequan was panicked and had to pretend to agree. Then Huang Xing sent a telegram to Jiangsu Independence in the name of Cheng Dequan.

On July 17, Anhui Bai Wenmo announced its independence.

On July 18, Chen Qimei, Hu Hanmin, Guangdong, and Chen Jiongming joined forces to declare independence.

On July 20, Xu Chongzhi forced Fujian Governor Sun Daoren to declare independence, and Xu Chongzhi took office as commander-in-chief of the fight against Yuan Jun.

On July 25, Tan Yankai had to be independent under the pressure of the situation.

On August 4, Xiong Kewu, commander of the Sichuan Third Division, took office as Commander-in-Chief of Yuan and declared Chongqing independence.

On July 22, Sun Yat-sen called Yuan Shikai to persuade him to resign, and the telegram said: "......... There is no other plan for resigning today... If the Duke must want to destroy the people to show off, he will not speak well, and the Wen cannot bear the long-term trap of the people in the Southeast to rebel, he will definitely oppose the autocracy in the past, and he will not hesitate to the people of the southeast, and he will not hesitate to oppose the monarchy."

The founding father was persuading Comrade Lao Yuan to resign and step down? Unfortunately, Lao Yuan did not buy it, and the power supply became a huge joke, confirming Sun Dapao's reputation.

After Yuan Shikai received a telegram from Sun Yat-sen, he ordered Sun Yat-sen to remove all rights to prepare for the national railway. At the same time, he strengthened the deployment and made every effort to suppress the anti-Yuan uprising in various places, and ordered a wanted arrest against Huang Xing, Chen Qimei, Xu Chongzhi and others.

The north and the south finally broke up and fought.

Wang Zhenyu left a sentence when discussing with everyone: "Never expect to realize the dream's good wishes through evil means. Our Chinese chaos is in this way."

Late at night on July 26, Li Zongren, the commander of the brigade of the First Mountain Brigade, and the main officer of the brigade were sitting in the brigade headquarters motionless. Until the wall clock given to him by the Grand Marshal ringed at the bell at 12 o'clock in the night (the Germans gave Wang Zhenyu a bunch of bells, and Wang Zhenyu, who was amused and crying, followed by a bell everywhere, and his mentality was dark). Li Zongren suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Action!"

With a long gathering whistle, thousands of officers and soldiers of the First Brigade immediately turned on the lights of the barracks, and the entire barracks were suddenly brightly lit. The officers issued urging instructions from one barracks and one barracks, and the squad leaders shouted loudly to the soldiers of their squad: "Check whether the equipment, rifles, stabbings, grenades, bullet belts, kettles, backpacks, and dry food bags are complete. The answer is complete and the beginning."

"Finish" and "Finish" long-term training allowed the soldiers to complete the inspection work very skillfully...

Then, teams of soldiers ran into the designated position under the leadership of the officers and completed the assembly.

Li Zongren looked at the Western pocket watches issued to him at this level. The whole process did not exceed five minutes. He nodded to these sharp subordinates with satisfaction: "You guys, please follow the orders of the guardian envoy to attack the King Changde who was dependent on Yuan thieves to correct the country's system."

What is the national system? Although the soldiers have learned culture, they still don’t know much. It doesn’t matter. Li Zongren raised his right hand and shouted: “Long live the commander-in-chief, long live the tiger brigade.”

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the Grand Marshal, long live the Tiger Brigade."

"Backing the ship".

Fifteen fifty-ton cargo ships were already waiting at the Yuanjiang Wharf in Anjiang. Li Zongren's troops of the First Mountain Brigade and more than 5,000 fully armed officers and soldiers began to board the ship in an orderly manner. The artillery equipment was directly sent to five cargo ships dedicated to transporting weapons and ammunition by huge tower cranes. This mechanical force made Li Zongren feel very happy.

In just one hour, all combat units and equipment were launched.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi exchanged glances and ordered the ship to start.

The long whistle was sounded, and the huge fleet rushed to Changde, and the curtain of war was slowly opened...

Life is always full of adventures, and we can even make such a conclusion that no one can replicate the life of one person.

Wang Zhenya's life is a classic representative of adventure. At the age of 42, he was a very staunch counter-revolutionary two years ago. During the Minyuan period, he became a revolutionary hero because of his conquering Jingzhou. He was called the famous general of the civilian army and the two kings of Hunan together with Wang Zhenyu. He was later appointed as the governor of Lizhou by Tan Yankai. In this process, a man named Li Zhizhong played an important role.

On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising was revolted. In order to prevent the Hunan New Army from following the Wuchang Uprising, the first thing that Yu Chengge, then governor of Hunan, was the former Mengzi Taoist in Yunnan who was a member of Ding You, and was known as Wuli Wentao, and Guizhou Censor Wang Zhenya. So he quickly summoned Wang Zhenya to the province to assist, hoping that Wang could imitate Zeng Wenzheng to do his best to cultivate his court in this crisis. Yu Chengge asked the Qing court to appoint Wang to Hubei. Wang Zhenya was ordered to recruit troops from Changde to attack the Wuchang Revolutionary Army. At that time, the Changde Revolutionaries wanted to capture him and execute him. The atmosphere was very tense. Li Zhizhong met Wang and stopped him and said, "This person is still available. If you believe me, I will leave it to me."

Afterwards, Li Zhizhong went to Wang Zhenya to talk about the situation, saying that Chen Guoshi, talked about the Three Principles of the People and the People's Republic, which made Wang Zhenya convinced and laughter overflowed outdoors. Three days later, Wang Zhenya surrendered and respected Li Zhizhong as his predecessor. We don't know whether the real history is like this. It is probably the general trend. Otherwise, just three or two sentences can tell a person to completely subvert his political stance, and the possibility is really not great.

In this way, Wang Zhenya's journey was smooth sailing. From a Qing bureaucrat who was at home to a revolutionary hero who conquered Jingzhou, to leaving Lizhou, he became the number one figure in Changde. It only took two years. Wang Zhenya even changed his name, now he is Wang Zhengya.

Our Comrade Wang Zhengya is very comfortable now. Changde is a Fengshui treasure land. The Yuan River water finally needs to pass through this before it can enter Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River. This means that at least in terms of commercial tax, Wang Zhengya's income will not be less than that of Wang Zhenyu. No wonder later generations Wang Zhengya could compete with the Phoenix Military Group in Xiangxi, guarding such a golden position as Changde, and it is really a shortage of soldiers and food.

However, Wang Zhengya also faced the same problem as Wang Zhenyu, that is, in the small Changde territory, various forces were mixed with dragons and snakes. Compared with Wang Zhenyu's efficient handling methods, Wang Zhengya was much slower and was unable to unify the military and political system. But it doesn't matter. Now he has the docks in Taoyuan and Li County, so there is no need to worry about money. Soon he expanded his army from four battalions to more than 11,000 guns in his twelve regiments. Just as he was about to remove all kinds of alien elements in his jurisdiction who were moving against the historical trend, the Second Revolution broke out...

The small environment is always affected by the big environment. Wang Zhengya had to put down her clearance plan and summon her brother-in-law Qingheng and her son Wang Yuyin to discuss countermeasures. Which side would it be better to stand on?

Qingheng was not in a hurry to speak. He was already considering the whole situation before he came. He was still grateful for taking in his brother-in-law when he was at his most downturn, so he had to be more cautious in his plan this time.

On the contrary, Wang Yuyin, the young man was outspoken and said whatever he thought: "My father, what's there to hesitate about this? If I were me, I would directly support the Northern Army. President Yuan got money from the Five Kingdoms Consortium, and Sun Dapao and the others had nothing to do. Is it because he wanted to rely on the revolutionary spirit to fool us to work hard for him, and there was no door."

After hearing what his son said, Wang Zhengya immediately scolded: "You guy is talking nonsense? How many times have you said you, you should think twice before speaking. Don't rush to say it. Why don't you change it?"

Wang Yuyin asked his father to scold him like this, and he felt very dissatisfied and refused to speak out.

Qingheng then spoke: "Sir, I heard that the governor of Zhejiang Zhu Rui and the governor of Yunnan Cai E both sent a telegram to neutralize. Why don't you do this? Our Changde is based on the gap between the north and the south. We can tell the future. If we pursue it in the future, how can you protect yourself? But why don't you? Governor Tan's army is on the side of Dongting Lake, and it is probably going to come to challenge us. It's difficult!"

Wang Zhengya thought for a long time, but shook her head and said, "Brother-in-law, this time my brother-in-law may have to make arbitrary decisions. You are right, but neutrality must be able to play with it. We only have ten thousand guns at the moment, how can we make a neutral legislation? I have seen this war. President Yuan, who is very good at soldiers and food, will definitely win. If we want to stand, we can only stand on his side. As for Governor Tan of Changsha, he declared independence today. I understand this person. If there is any disturbance, he will definitely turn to Lao Yuan. From this we can see that although we have taken some risks, we are still unable to resist. There are no strong enemies around us, so I decided to support President Yuan, attack Sun, and Huang's rebellion."

Wang Yuyin immediately went out happily and sent his father's power to support the Beijing government, but Qingheng could only shake his head and sigh and leave.

On the morning of July 26, the Lizhou governor Wang Zhengya sent a telegram across the country, not recognizing the order of the Hunan Governor's Office to announce independence, announced that Li County firmly supported the Beijing government, and called on the Changde military and civilians to closely unite around the central government with Yuan Shikai as the core, and resolutely crush the criminal acts of a small group of rebels headed by Sun Huang.

The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind him. Wang Zhengya really doesn't care enough about Wang Zhenyu next door. This is also a common problem for the former Qing bureaucrats. In fact, just spend a day squatting on the Nanmen Wharf and seeing how many foreign ships the Yuanjiang shipping passes in the past can be deduced that there are amazing changes in Xiangxi and Anjiang. Unfortunately, Wang Zhengya doesn't have this time, and the people below don't have this head. So they missed Wang Zhenyu, who has ambition for Changde, for all their calculations.
