Brothers, are you ready for your monthly ticket?][]

"The Hubei army entered Sichuan and mutiny in Zizhou. Duan Fang and his younger brother Duan Jin were in power. The Hubei army fled in chaos and many people were dispersed. Officer Liu Yifeng led the remaining troops to turn around east!"

The short thirty-seven-word telegram told me that the new governor Duan Fang and his younger brother Duan Jin had their heads cut off by the mutiny of the Hubei army, and the Hubei army who helped him turn around and return to Hubei clearly.

The word "murder" is intriguing. Xiao Yimin and Zhao Erfeng don't need to think too much about it. The so-called mutiny is actually the same as the riot in the Wuhan New Army. The officer Liu Yifeng, who could lead the rest of his troops back to Hubei after the chaos, is likely to be the mastermind of this mutiny.

Xiao Yimin looked at Zhao Erfeng who was drinking alone:

"Teacher, it's noon on the 27th. Duan Fang's murder is probably in the early morning of this day, or after dawn. It seems that this Sichuan Governor will not have it in a short time."

Zhao Erfeng sighed: "I'm afraid there will never be any more."

The master and apprentice were still lamenting. Zheng Changze, the military advisor of Zhao Erfeng, who was a soldier in Zhenying, came, and Xu Weiyue, who was sweating all over, whispered:

"Sir, Deputy Speaker of the Advisory Committee Luo Lun and the New Army Commander Zhu Qinglan asked for a visit."

Zhao Erfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly. Xiao Yimin hurriedly ordered Zheng Changze to accompany the guests. He and the teacher arrived in a while, and then turned to Zhao Erfeng and whispered:

"Teacher, it seems that their news is not later than us. It is likely that they had known about the plan of the Hubei army's mutiny earlier, otherwise they would not have found this place so soon."

Zhao Erfeng raised his head and sighed, stood up slowly, tidied up his clothes: "They are forcing me to express my opinion! Since Chongqing announced the ** five days ago, they have been unable to sit still. I don't know what kind of banner to change the world this time. Oh! Forget it, let them make trouble. Let's do it according to the established strategy and fully support it, but don't go to this muddy water! Let's go, don't let the guests wait in a hurry."

Luo Lun and Zhu Qinglan in the hall were restless. They came with heavy responsibilities, so where was the mood to drink tea? Seeing Zhao Erfeng and Xiao Yimin coming out of the inner hall, they stood up and saluted respectfully.

After a few greetings, Luo Lun and Zhu Qinglan looked at each other, Luo Lun directly reposted the requests of Comrade Baolu and Sichuan Tongmenghui, and then said very earnestly:

"Two lords, we were entrusted by everyone in the Consultative Conference to seek the opinions of Lord Zhao in order to reorganize the government and stabilize the situation in Sichuan."

Zhao Erfeng smiled when he twisted his beard:

"Hello, Mr. Kang, for several days, have you been working together to discuss this matter? Now that the new governor appointed by the court has disappeared, there are naturally no obstacles. Moreover, southern Sichuan, northern Sichuan, western Sichuan and Chongqing have all announced that they will form their own governments. Chengdu, as the capital of a province, has been lagging behind for many days. Reorganizing the provincial government is to follow the trend and it is also an imminent matter. How can I not support it? I have to thank the two of you for coming!"

Luo Lun and Zhu Qinglan were overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly corrected their clothes and bowed deeply to Zhao Erfeng to express their gratitude.

Zhao Erfeng replied politely and refused the plea to ask him to take office as Minister of Military Affairs.

Luo Lun and Zhu Qinglan advised each other that Zhao Erfeng must join the new government. Zhu Qinglan, who was once a beloved general under Zhao Erxun, the brother of Zhao Erfeng, and at the same time had a good relationship with Zhao Erfeng, was even more nervous. He saluted and made a solemn promise, asking Zhao Erfeng to come out again to lead the army. Finally, seeing Zhao Erfeng's attitude sincere and humble attitude, the two stopped being polite and no longer insisted on fulfilling the compromise opinions of the Tongmenghui, and both said goodbye to Zhao Erfeng and Xiao Yimin.

Zhao Erfeng and Xiao Yimin gave each other politely, and Luo Lun said that he would not let Zhao Erfeng send him off again. Zhao Erfeng turned around and entered in a few words, and went to the big study with Xu Weiyue to continue having dinner.

Luo Lun grabbed Xiao Yimin's sleeve and walked to the front yard. He stopped inside the yard gate and immediately issued a solemn invitation:

"Yiming, the entire Sichuan army has been divided into pieces. We will not talk about it. We only say that the troops stationed in and outside Chengdu are all in their own right and their minds are hard to predict! However, although there are many contradictions within the new army, it is not a big problem to have General Zhu control the situation. Your Zhenzhen camp has strict military discipline and prohibited orders. We have always silently supported our Road Protection Association and Tongmeng Association. We are very relieved, but the more and more the city defense forces gathered, which have reached 2,000, is a big hidden danger...

"These soldiers have no organization at all. There are more than 1,000 officers and soldiers from Fengshan who are loyal to the Qing court in the city west, as well as more than 20,000 Manchu and Mongolian people, all of whom are the source of turmoil! We have been troubled by this matter for several days. After repeated consultations, we unanimously agreed that the military and political aspects cannot be without you Xiao Yimin!"

Xiao Yimin smiled and said, "Tell me, brother, what title should I give you?"

"How about Deputy Minister of Military Affairs?" Luo Lun looked at Xiao Yimin nervously.

Zhu Qinglan, who was standing next to him, saw Xiao Yimin's eyebrows and thought, immediately stepped forward and said apologetically: "Brother Yiming, the position of minister has been decided by Yin Changheng, the chief of staff of the new army. We have been arguing about this matter for a long time, but in the end, everyone's opinions still tend to be the older and more active Chief of Staff Yin Changheng, who is really wronged me."

Xiao Yimin politely answered:

"How can the revolution tell so much favor? Chief of Staff Yin Changheng is already more experienced than his younger brother, and he actively participated in the movement for several months and made great contributions. In any aspect, he is more qualified and reason than his younger brother to serve as the Minister of Military Affairs. It is unexpected that my younger brother can become the Deputy Minister. I was overjoyed. The two brothers don't have to be so nervous. Do you still trust me until now?"

"Nothing nonsense! You turtle son like to make fun of it."

Luo Lun laughed and scolded, and the big stone in his heart finally landed. With Xiao Yimin's clear attitude and strong support, the establishment of the new government made the stability of Chengdu City more confident.

Zhu Qinglan took Xiao Yimin's hand, clenched it tightly, and said with emotion: "It would be great if every comrade of ours had Yiming's mind! Yiming, the new government founding meeting was held at the Chengnan Advisory Bureau at 3 pm, and you must come on time!"

"must!"

Xiao Yimin sent the two onto the carriage. The carriage drove out of the street corner. The smile on Xiao Yimin's face disappeared instantly. He turned around and returned to the yard. He soon appeared beside Zhao Erfeng and Xu Weiyue, sat down and told the two elders about the matter.

Zhao Erfeng nodded slightly and continued to pick up the food. Xu Weiyue gently stroked three inches of thick and thin, and carefully analyzed:

"If both the adults and Yiming refuse to take up the new government position, they will be suspicious and even plotted against those people. Maybe the establishment conference in the afternoon will have to be rescheduled. Now, we have the opportunity to appreciate how those romantic figures make their debut!

"I just don't know what the leaders of the various road protection armies in Chongqing, southern Sichuan, western Sichuan, and northern Sichuan will think? I'm afraid a large group of people who are determined to win many new government positions are still on the way and cannot catch up with this feast in Chengdu!"

Zhao Erfeng couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.

Xiao Yimin's smile was full of sorrow. Duan Fang was killed and the army entering Sichuan was destroyed. The heroes from all walks of life in Sichuan who had no worries must gather in Chengdu. Whether for the sake of revolution or the loyalty between brothers, they have really shot out a world for several months and made their own contributions to the great cause of protection. Now that external threats have been lifted, the matter has been done, and no matter how they do, they have to sit in a row. Once the establishment meeting held in Chengdu in the afternoon does not take into account all the interests, they may argue endlessly and even fight.

"Yiming has something to worry about?" Zhao Erfeng asked.

Xiao Yimin nodded: "Students are worried that a larger civil strife will break out. If the people of the Tongmenghui can calm down and think about it carefully, they will not have a new government in a hurry. First of all, since April, there has been no tax payment in the province. Before leaving Chengdu, the three million left to the successor Governor Wang Renwen, were consumed by all yamen and new troops, most of which were put into the pockets of officials at all levels. Now, except for the new troops who can also ensure that military pay is paid on time, the other departments have been cut off for more than two months, and it is even more impossible to improve equipment and training. Without military pay, eating is a problem. How to stabilize the morale of the army and stabilize the situation in Chengdu?"

Zhao Erfeng and Xu Weiyue put down their chopsticks and listened very seriously to Xiao Yimin's analysis.

Xiao Yimin continued: "Secondly, the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway is completely completed. The people of more than 20 million people's wealth disappeared in a blink of an eye. It is impossible to come back again, but the people who are really suffering are the people of Sichuan! The students are sure that no matter how the current Lu Baohui and Tongmenghui promise to repay the debt to the people, they are all deceptive publicity for the purpose of the present, which lays a huge hidden danger. I believe that it will arouse public grievances again soon. This is without trust.

The new government with the hearts of the people as the foundation may not last long; in addition, except for a few scholars who care about the people, most of the other leaders of the gangs in various places are the leaders of the gangs in various places, and even the bosses who occupy the mountains and take advantage of the troubled waters. For months, they have made contributions to the armed struggle to seize power in various counties. If they know that the newly established government has nothing to do, shouldn’t they hold a grudge and fight?

"Surrive a step back and analyze, this group of people still cannot earn power when they fight and fight. With resentment, they will definitely take their teams back to their hometown to become kings. By then, where will the new government collect taxes and raise so many idle people? This so-called revolution now seems to be a complete farce!"

After hearing this, Xu Weiyue and Zhao Erfeng thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Zhao Erxun gently stroked his long beard and looked at his proud disciple with appreciation, his eyes full of relief: "Weiyue, Yiming is mature and meticulous in mind. It seems that I can retire to the mountains and forests and enjoy the happiness..."

Xu Weiyue sincerely praised and said with a bright look: "Sir, Yiming will definitely achieve great achievements in the future. Weiyue firmly believes in this!"

Zhao Erfeng nodded repeatedly. Seeing Xiao Yimin pouring wine for him respectfully, he suddenly felt that it was not difficult to retreat.
Chapter completed!
