Chapter 25 Chief Director (Part 1)
Chengdu, formerly the Governor's Office, is now the Governor's Office of the Shu Army.
The relaxed atmosphere of the New Year suddenly disappeared, and the hall became even more depressing. A group of military government officials sat around, waiting for the Governor to appear. On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the National Defense Forces sent a message to the whole country, saying: In view of the delay in Chongqing's decision,
In response to a positive response and repeated excuses to delay, the National Defense Forces used two mixed brigades to easily capture Chongqing. Now the trapped citizen Fang Lang has been rescued, and all his losses will be recovered by the United Autonomous Region on his behalf.
The call was made righteously, but they did not say when they would withdraw from Chongqing.
The people of Sichuan will not be deceived by the false justice shown by the warlord Fang Jianxiong. Just look at the Chongqing pier and you will know that no ships have docked at the dock all day. It is too much, and there are many wooden boats.
Yin Changheng was waiting anxiously in the study. The person who was sent out to hire a teacher had not come back yet. This teacher was good at everything, but he was too utilitarian. When he was in Guilin, he went to Shanghai as a military governor, and when he returned to Chengdu, he refused to take up the post of army officer.
A middle-level position. Otherwise, based on the teacher's ability and qualifications, this Sichuan governor would be enough.
Yin Changheng could use deception to get Zhao Erfeng to hand over the military power of three thousand border troops, and then chop off Zhao's head to show the public. This is not a good person. (There are many things in history that are unclear, so don't worry about it.)
After killing Zhao Erfeng, Yin Changheng became a good governor in the eyes of the Sichuan people. The root of the road protection movement lay in the incompetence and disorder of commercial railways and high-level corruption, which caused the delay in starting railway construction. This essence was covered up. The Qing government was
Bastards, but the fact that it was not just one government that was a bastard was also overshadowed by the outbreak of revolution.
Yin Changheng, who took the position of governor, did not live a good life for a few days. First of all, the escape of three thousand border troops directly led to the Xikang rebellion. Secondly, there was a military government in Chongqing that was attacking Chengdu. After a lot of hard work, he finally
It was the merger of the two military governments, and there was a major event that the National Defense Forces came under Chongqing.
Where is the bottom line of the National Defense Force? This is related to the life and death of the Sichuan military government. Yin Changheng is not one of those outside who are jumping around. The members of the Tongmenghui headed by Deputy Governor Zhang Peijue. He knows very well what the nature of a warlord is?
Hu Jingyi, who had been waiting so hard, finally arrived, and Yin Changheng almost ran out to greet him. Meeting him was like meeting his savior. The National Defense Force was too powerful. The Sichuan Army had no chance of winning. When he was helpless, he could only look to his teacher, Zhuge Liang.
Already.
"Shuo Quan, I know everything. Don't be anxious. Let's go out to appease the people waiting in the meeting hall. We will talk when we come back." Hu Jingyi was quite calm and spoke unhurriedly. Yin Changheng said this when he saw the teacher,
It was like taking a reassurance, and he immediately said: "With the teacher here, the students will feel relieved."
Yin Changheng went to the meeting hall. Although he was worried, he believed that the teacher would definitely be able to find a solution.
Everyone stood up one after another. Yin Changheng raised his hands and said to everyone: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Brother Lie. How is the discussion going?"
The so-called fifth brother is naturally the deputy governor Zhang Peijue. If the hands of the governor Yin Changheng are stained with Zhao Erfeng’s blood, then the hands of the deputy governor Zhang Peijue are also stained with some blood. The blood of Lin Shaoquan, the commander-in-chief of the Chongqing Army, is
Conquer it
At that time, the commander-in-chief became the detachment leader. Lin expressed dissatisfaction. So he was captured. The official history says that Xia Zhishi fought hard to protect him, and was later escorted back to his hometown in Hubei and was killed. So, let's clear the fog of official history and take a look.
It is clear who the final beneficiary is.
"Everyone has different opinions, and everyone has their own opinions. Let's wait for the governor to make a decision." After Zhang Peijue became the deputy governor, he cooperated with Yin Changheng very much, which is commendable. But at this time, saying this is a bit suspicious.
Yin Changheng sat down calmly, greeted everyone, and listened patiently to everyone. This group of people was roughly divided into three factions. The first faction was the Chongqing faction, headed by Zhang Peijue, who advocated fighting back to Chongqing and regaining lost territory.
Let the National Defense Forces know that the people of Sichuan are not to be messed with. This faction also advocates contacting the Yunnan Army
, attacking the National Defense Forces in Chongqing from two fronts. Obviously, this faction's argument is really not very good. The Yunnan Army finally agreed to withdraw as soon as the payment was received, and expected them to send troops to attack the National Defense Forces. Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house? Look.
Coming to the Chongqing School was so overwhelming that I couldn’t care about so many things for the time being.
The second faction is dominated by the Chengdu military, and its representative is Zhou Jun. They also advocate fighting, but before fighting, they must first solve the problem of military pay. Without pay, it is estimated that soldiers are unwilling to send troops. This meaning is very clear.
Regardless of whether it is a real or fake fight, you must first have money. Where does the money come from? This is not what they should care about. When dividing the money, just say hello.
The third opinion, represented by the constitutionalists, advocated peace talks and adopted methods of persuasion and education to persuade the National Defense Forces to withdraw.
The three opinions were introduced one after another, and then the quarrel began. The militant faction soon gained the upper hand, but the internal opinions of the militant faction were not unified. They first silenced the constitutionalists, and then started quarreling among themselves.
This meeting was held in a daze, and Yin Changheng, who was in the first place, really had no tears. Damn, can these people be more reliable? No one has analyzed it from a military perspective? Can we fight or not? Sun Tzu's Art of War
Did you read it in vain? "The land of life and death, the path of survival and death, must be observed!" Have you forgotten this sentence?
Hu Jingyi waited inside for more than an hour, looking very calm and drinking tea and meditating. When he heard footsteps coming in, he didn't mean to move. The maid wanted to add water to Hu Jingyi's teacup, but Yin Changheng raised his hand to stop it and took it.
The teapot came forward and gently poured hot water into the teacup. Hu Jingyi raised his eyes to look at him, said nothing, and continued to meditate.
Yin Changheng took two steps back, and the irritation in his heart faded away in front of the teacher's calmness. He handed the teapot to the maid to send out, and then he carefully sat down on the edge and waited expectantly.
"Shuo Quan, to tell you the truth, I am an acquaintance of Li Muyan, the chief staff officer under Fang Fuguo." Hu Jingyi started to speak, and Yin Changheng couldn't close his mouth. But Teacher Wen continued: "The firearms purchased last time,
It's all the result of my brother Bai's mediation. My brother Bai is a senior master, has wide connections, and is deeply trusted by Fang Fuguo."
"What does the teacher mean?" Yin Changheng waited for so long, and what he was waiting for was such a vague thing. He was a little confused, but of course, Yin Changheng would not doubt this teacher who had no utilitarian intentions.
"Fang Fuguo is very ambitious. Now that he has occupied Chongqing, he will not leave so simply. The urgent need now is for one of them to come up with a solution as soon as possible and then electrify the whole country to stop Fang Fuguo's mouth. The two of them should remain calm and restrained.
Attitude, never be instigated by those outside.
The third one decided to go to Wuchang in person to meet Brother Bai and try to resolve the matter peacefully. The fourth one stepped up preparations for war and sent more spies to keep an eye on Chongqing. The fifth one made an internal investigation.
Prevent internal traitors. Chongqing almost fell without a fight, and it is impossible without internal agents."
One, two, three, four, five, this is what Hu Jingyi calls comprehensive analysis and calm judgment. Yin Changheng can be said to be convinced.
"The top priority is not to start the war lightly. The National Defense Force is not the Qing army, and Fang Fuguo has never been defeated since his debut. I have carefully studied this person's way of making a fortune, and I know that this person has far-sightedness, careful thinking, and what he has done for many years.
Only later did the effect show. Looking at his unit, most of the officers were students trained by him, and their equipment was better than that of the Beiyang Army. He had Jiang Baili, Zhang Runong, Xu Guqing, Li Xiaochuan, and Lin Huaichuan under his command. Which one of these was not
Heroes who have been famous for many years? Among them, Jiang Baili was the first among the Japanese Rokushi in the third period. The emperor gave him a sword, and he lived a glorious life. After the third period, Chinese and Japanese students no longer studied in the same class. This is why. It is possible to bring these people together.
People's military capabilities should be higher than these people." When Hu Jingyi said this, Yin Changheng was already covered in cold sweat.
"Teacher, why don't you..." Yin Changheng was cruel enough and made a move.
Hu Jingyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, no. Even if we sell all the Chongqing side, it may not be able to make Fang Fuguo withdraw his troops. On the contrary, there will be internal chaos first. This is inappropriate."
Yin Changheng gave up. After a secret discussion between master and apprentice, Hu Jingyi still failed to go to Wuchang. Instead, he sent a phone call to Li Muyan, hoping to mediate on his behalf. Furthermore, it was decided to reorganize the Sichuan Army, with Hu Jingyi
He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army. After repeatedly declining, Hu Jingyi expressed his acceptance. However, he also said: "I will wait until I personally go to Chongqing to see Fang Fuguo's bottom line."
For this, Yin Changheng was extremely grateful and felt that the teacher was so great and selfless.
After the secret talks, Yin Changheng held another meeting and announced his decision. First, he sent a telegram to the whole country, condemning the National Defense Forces' actions that violated peace, and called on all parties to denounce it. He also sent a telegram to Nanjing, imploring him to intervene on his behalf. After all, Sichuan is also a part of the provisional government (although now one soldier and one soldier).
None of the soldiers left Sichuan, but at least they shouted a lot of slogans in support of the Northern Expedition.) Secondly, they urgently prepared for war to prevent the National Defense Forces from advancing westward. The ministries under the former Chongqing urgently moved closer to Chengdu. Finally, they sent people to Chongqing to negotiate with the National Defense Forces. This
Who is the negotiator?
On this last point, the quarrel started again. No one wanted to go! Everyone has not forgotten Hu Jingyi’s lesson in persuading the Yunnan Army to retreat.
At the critical moment, Hu Jingyi came in from the side door unhurriedly, and said to the crowd calmly: "Why don't you come here?" At this moment, Hu Jingyi's image was extremely tall!
In Wuhu, after the chief director Fang Dashuai claimed to be ill, people across the country expressed concern. The three quarrelsome parties in Shanghai all sent telegrams of condolences. Yuan Shikai from Beijing and Sun from Nanjing both called to express condolences. However, these two were more generous and both
If you didn’t mention what happened in Chongqing, just pretend it never happened.
What about privately? On the train going south, Xu Shichang, Yuan Shikai's plenipotentiary, was about to arrive in Bengbu. War is a war, and no one dares to sabotage the Jinpu Line. In Nanjing, Sun Zhi's plenipotentiary, Cai Yuanpei, went to Wuhu.
