Chapter 607 Kunming talk

Spring in Kunming comes earlier than Sichuan, and at this time there is a pleasant scene of birds singing and flowers blooming.

In the back garden of the Governor's Mansion, Tang Jiyao was watching a budding white orchid. Although the sky today was slightly dark and not as warm as the tender sun a few days ago, the temperature was quite comfortable, which was most suitable to calm the mind and eliminate the distractions in his mind. Especially yesterday, Tang Jiyao just received a direct telegram from Sichuan that the 14th Cavalry Regiment of Guangdong wiped out the entire division of the Third Central Division. This is really a great thing to be pleased.

Tang Jiyao knew very well that although the Central Third Division was only part of the Beiyang Army's place in Sichuan, its annihilation was enough to shake the morale of the entire Beiyang Army. From this battle, the situation in Sichuan had already emerged from the shadows and the prospects were bright. He didn't have to worry about anything anymore, and just waited for Sichuan to re-dividate its territory and interests after pacifying.

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the corridor leading to the garden in the front hall, breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere.

Tang Jiyao returned to his mind and turned to look at the garden corridor. He saw his guard captain Long Yun and Chief of Staff Gu Pinzhen walking towards this side.

Walking down the corridor along the steps, Gu Pinzhen came to Tang Jiyao with a worried look and said, "Governor, the delegation stationed in Wuzhou sent an urgent telegram that President Wu wants to remove Luo Peijin's military position."

Tang Jiyao's face changed and he asked, "At this time? What does he want to do?"

Gu Pinzhen sighed and said helplessly: "It's because of that last time."

Tang Jiyao immediately thought of the order issued by the Wuzhou General Staff Headquarters to Luo Peijin some time ago, and made a profound review and took Shuangliu County within five days. He snorted coldly and said, "President Wu is simply unreasonable! Luo Peijin has only more than 2,000 people, and was also attacked by the Third Central Division in front. Shuangliu County is captured within five days. He really doesn't take the 18th Division seriously!"

Gu Pinzhen said deeply: "Governor, now is not the time to complain. Wuzhou said that Wu Shaoting was serious this time and even scolded us in front of the Chiefs of Staff."

Tang Jiyao walked slowly with his hands on his back, looking thoughtful.

Long Yun was young and energetic, and said uncontrollably: "Governor, Wu Shaoting is clearly holding a chicken feather as an arrow. Without our support, he, as a president, is not a bachelor!"

Gu Pinzhen, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "You are wrong. Wu Shaoting is not a bachelor. Look at the battle between Zizhong, a cavalry regiment in Guangdong wiped out a Central Division. It can be said that this is the largest battle since our south sent troops to Sichuan, and it is even bigger than the battle between the 20,000 Sichuan troops in Mianyang."

Long Yun was a little helpless, and he said, "Governor, are we really going to withdraw Brigade Commander Luo?"

Tang Jiyao stopped and asked, "What did Wuzhou's order say?"

Gu Pinzhen said: "It was said that Luo Peijin would go to Wuzhou within four days to receive punishment. As for Luo Peijin's troops, we will arrange it by ourselves. In addition, the content of the Second Chiefs of Staff Conference has been completed. Wu Shaoting hopes that our provinces will continue to send additional reinforcements to Sichuan."

When Tang Jiyao heard this, his face calmed down. He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let Luo Peijin go to Wuzhou to receive punishment. This can only be blamed for being unsuccessful and making it a laugh."

Gu Pinzhen thought for a while and did not continue to speak. However, Long Yun was very disappointed and hurriedly said, "Governor, if you agree like this, Wu Shaoting will even get on his nose and be more frustrated."

Tang Jiyao was still smiling, and he shook his head slightly and said, "If it weren't for the Chief of Staff that had a new decision, Wu Shaoting would have taken action against Luo Peijin this time to prepare for the pacification of Sichuan, trying to remove all our forces stationed in Sichuan. If this is true, he would not have allowed us to continue to increase troops in Sichuan."

Gu Pinzhen nodded and said in agreement: "That's right. It seems that President Wu does not intend to weaken our power in Sichuan this time, he just wants to consolidate the authority of his president."

Tang Jiyao said: "That's it. Since President Wu wants to emphasize military orders and military laws, we local provincial governments naturally have to cooperate fully and set an example. Immediately send a telegram to Luo Peijin to let him admit his mistakes honestly. As for his troops, we don't have to send someone else, so let Deputy Brigade Commander Yu Enyang take over."

Gu Pinzhen said: "Okay, at least this will allow Luo Peijin to have no worries. Then I will make arrangements."

Long Yun was still a little depressed, but he didn't know what to say at this time, so he had to follow Gu Pinzhen to prepare to leave.

At this time, Tang Jiyao said again: "No hurry. Xiaozhai, you have been in Kunming for a long time, it is time to go out and move. Since President Wu hopes that we will increase our troops in Sichuan, we should not let down President Wu's high hopes. In addition, it is necessary to fight for our Yunnan Army to save other provincial presidents from laughing at us for catching Luo Peijin."

"What are the commands of the governor?" Gu Pinzhen remained calm on the surface, but was already making plans in her mind.

"You can do it in ten days to reorganize the five Kangdian regiments in Diqing, Lijiang and other places and the three regiments directly under the Governor's Office?" Tang Jiyao asked with a smile.

Gu Pinzhen and Long Yun were both a little surprised. These were the forces of eight regiments, and it was too hasty to reorganize eight regiments in ten days. Especially the five regiments of Kangdian, which were built with the military funds of the Beiyang government and were ready to enter the troops that were ready to fight against the British army at any time. There were many pro-Beiyang government officers in these five regiments, which were really difficult to deal with.

Gu Pinzhen pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth and said solemnly: "I will never let down the trust of the governor."

He was very amazed at Tang Jiyao. Governor Tang expected everything very carefully. Ten days seemed very short, but the task of reorganization was originally big or small, and it all depends on how much reorganization needed. In addition, he admired Governor Tang's "ten days" period, which was neither long nor short. When he led his troops into Sichuan, it was almost the end of the Chengdu War, and it was a good time to harvest the fruits of victory.

Tang Jiyao nodded with a smile, reached out and patted Gu Pinzhen on the shoulder, and said, "Very good, I believe you can do it well." He turned to Long Yun again, "You have some time with me, and this time you will also go with Xiaozhai. Soldiers who cannot lead troops will always be unqualified soldiers. Learn from Xiaozhai."

Long Yun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to be sent out, and he had only graduated from the military academy for less than a year. He didn't know what to answer, and always felt that it was a bit too sudden.

Gu Pinzhen glanced at Long Yun and said with a smile: "Captain Long, this is the governor who intends to cultivate you."

Long Yun then reacted and hurriedly thanked Tang Jiyao: "I thank the governor for his cultivation and will definitely fulfill my mission."
