Chapter 33: Yunnan Army

When Sun Baoqi said this, Cai Yuanpei couldn't sit still. He stood up and said: "This matter, hey!"

The three of them were speechless and sat waiting. Within half an hour, Xiong Kewu came back. This shows the efficiency of dictatorship!

Nanjing called back: The matter of leasing Manchuria can be submitted to the Provisional Senate for a referendum; Sheng Xuanhuai will go to Wuhu soon for consultation on the Han Yeping matter; Chongqing Zhang and Xia Division can call and transfer to Nanjing. Please consider on your behalf the transportation of the necessary supplies.

As for the deadline for the Northern Expedition, I hope it will be three days, or less. Finally, he also said: The most important thing today is to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish the Republic of China. The rest can be discussed.

After reading this reply, Fang Jianxiong was a little surprised. In front of Cai and Xiong, he was distracted. He walked slowly to the window and stared blankly at the sky outside.

Fang Jianxiong even had an idea in his mind. Sun took it as his own duty to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In order to achieve this goal, he seemed to be a little obsessed. But to say that he was willing to give up the possibility of the provisional government becoming a regular government, that is not necessarily true. If

If you can continue to support it, you will definitely not give up easily. When the opportunity to dominate the world is presented to you, no one will be unmoved.

What is certain is that Mr. Sun is currently focused on overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In another time and space, in real history, the provisional government led by Mr. Sun failed to realize the Northern Expedition. There are many reasons, among which finance is the main one, and the secondary one is

Another factor is that the southern provinces are acting independently and have not united into a unified force. This should be taken as a warning!

Jointly with the provisional government to overthrow Beiyang? This idea flashed in Fang Jianxiong's mind for a moment, and then it became clear. However, Fang Jianxiong still did not mean to be arbitrary. Instead, he turned to Cai Yuanpei and said, "Mr. He Qing, please wait a moment."

He winked at Sun Baoqi and walked inside casually.

When the two came back, the three of them stood up. Fang Jianxiong said: "I just had an idea, please help me with the details."

Everyone looked solemn. Fang Jianxiong then said: "I want to unite with the provisional government, first take Beiyang, overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then take over the world. What do you think?" Although everyone knows that Fang Jianxiong aspires to the world, this is the first time he has done so in the world.

This idea was raised publicly in front of everyone. Everyone was a little excited, but soon calmed down.

The first person to speak was Sun Baoqi: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. The three pillars are the way to balance. Crossing the Beiyang is a trivial matter. Have you ever thought about helping the country? Once the Republic of China is established, party politics will be the way to govern. The Republican Party will be among the provincial legislators."

How many seats can I get?"

These words hit the point, and Fang Jianxiong immediately sobered up a lot. It is true that Yuan Shikai is the biggest opponent, but only a military opponent. How did Song Jiaoren in parallel history fail? Wasn't it the Kuomintang during the general election?

We won. Was Song Jiaoren assassinated when he went to Beijing to form a cabinet?

"In my humble opinion, we should first divide and disintegrate the provinces, support the spokesmen politically, and use military means and intimidation as supplements. First seek Sichuan to join the United Autonomous Region, and then seek Hunan. When the five provinces are in hand, Fujian and Zhejiang can propose annexation

The agenda is to seize the weakness of the loose internal structure of the Tongmenghui and gradually disintegrate it. As for Beiyang, we can

Use appropriate military means to capture Henan and then march to Shanxi. Since ancient times, whoever captures the Central Plains will capture the world. As long as Henan and Shanxi are captured, half of the world will be captured. No matter what the political system is then, who in the world can compete with the commander-in-chief?

Fight?" This was the first time Jiang Fangzhen showed his political views. Generally speaking, he still focused on the role of the military.

"Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. I think Chief of General Staff Chiang Kai-shek's method is good. The biggest advantage of the United Autonomous Region is that the current policies are conducive to the recovery of people's livelihood. It can be concluded that if you occupy a place, you will get a new one after the policies are launched.

The support of local people. Therefore, it is not advisable to use the existing foundation to unite the provisional government in the Northern Expedition and seek to defeat Beiyang in a short time." Han Yan also expressed his own views.

The last one was Zheng Quan. This man was always steady and taciturn. He stood up and said with a smile: "You can reply to Nanjing that three days is the deadline for the Northern Expedition. If the Qing Dynasty announces an unconditional abdication, you can also liquidate the Manchu nobles as a reason to prevent Yuan Shikai from coming to Taiwan."

Even worse, there is still the matter of establishing Nanjing as the capital. If Yuan Shikai refuses to submit, he will have an excuse to send troops to Henan."

Speaking of this, Fang Jianxiong suddenly felt that he was indeed a relatively weak one among this group of people. Even Jiang Fangzhen had a strategy of procrastinating and beating. The idea of ​​​​slapping his forehead just now was simply scum.

Fortunately, everyone thought that Fang Jianxiong was not thinking poorly, but wanted to see what everyone was capable of. After everyone had performed, Marshal Fang just showed his good side. This is a commonly used method by those in power, and everyone

It's relatively clear.

After a lot of tossing and going back and forth, the compromise with Nanjing was finally reached as follows. First, the whole country was electrified, with a deadline of three days. If the emperor could not abdicate unconditionally, the Northern Expedition would be announced. When to send troops depends on the actual situation. Second, Sichuan

The Nanjing government took Chongqing as the boundary and stopped moving westward. The Nanjing government telegraphed to Chengdu, and the former Chongqing military government headquarters was reorganized and sent out to Sichuan to participate in the Northern Expedition. After Nanjing's mediation, the National Defense Forces returned the political power in Chongqing and other places, and the National Defense Forces were stationed in eastern Sichuan.

Third, both parties reached an agreement, requiring the Qing government to abdicate unconditionally and liquidate the properties of the Manchu nobles. If the above conditions were met, Nanjing would be the capital of the Republic of China. Fourth, Nanjing gave up the lease of Manchuria on the grounds that the Senate could not pass it.

Fifth, Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Jiangnan Shipyard were placed under the name of the United Autonomous Region in exchange for Bank of China purchasing 2 million yuan of Nanjing Provisional Government treasury bonds, of which 1 million yuan was directly purchased in Wuhu for military supplies and delivered in kind.

When these five items were finally achieved, it was already the early morning of the next day and it took another whole night.

After Fang Jianxiong reached these five-point secret agreement, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "It's so difficult!"

Why is it difficult? Fang Jianxiong didn't say it. In fact, all he could think of were the jokes in the movie. The protagonist has a halo above his head and kills everyone. Wherever he goes, the aura of a bastard spreads, and big bosses from all walks of life turn to him one after another.

, are all lies! (This is also the author’s opinion. When reading novels, don’t treat them as history. Don’t give the author a history lesson. Jiang Fangzhen did not receive a sword from the emperor or anything. These are not compiled by the author, but that

Contents that appear in biographies written by people of the era. Regardless of whether it is true or false, it is always fun to write it in a story. This is a novel, not a history textbook!)

After the difficulties in Wuhu, the telegram was sent to Chongqing and a new round of difficulties began.

Hu Jingyi, who had a good night's sleep to regain his energy, immediately got up and returned to Chengdu after reading Wuhu's reply. At this juncture, the telegram could no longer solve any problems. He had to go back and talk to him face to face. Otherwise, the interests of all parties would not be balanced at all, and there would still be a lot of work to do.

So be prepared to continue arguing.

Shortly after Hu Jingyi left, Gao Sheng received intelligence that the Yunnan Army was slowly approaching Chongqing, and the vanguard had reached Yongchuan and occupied the county seat. Gao Sheng called Leng Yu, and after some discussion, it was decided that Gao Sheng would lead his troops to attack, and Leng Yu would guard Chongqing. It was finally decided.

, with the 1st Battalion of the Special Operations Forces as the vanguard, followed by the 7th Mixed Brigade with a high promotion rate.

When the National Defense Forces sent troops to southern Sichuan, Liu Mingzhao also boarded a cargo ship. The process of boarding the ship went smoothly. He was wearing the uniform of the National Defense Forces and holding a letter of introduction in his hand. The people on the freighter arranged a single room.

Liu Mingzhao was quite curious and asked the quartermaster on the freighter why he had arranged it like this. The quartermaster told him in an envious tone that if he could get admitted to the Army University during this trip to Wuhu, he would become a platoon leader of the National Defense Forces with excellent grades and be able to

If you join the General Staff as an intern, you might still be able to stay at the General Staff, and the starting point will be even higher. You will be directly a staff officer at the deputy company level, with a monthly salary of fifty yuan, not counting subsidies and so on.

When it came to the General Staff, the quartermaster also winked and described that there were many female soldiers in the General Staff, and they were all from foreign schools. Anyway, they were all kinds of envy.

Gao Sheng couldn't care about the quarrel in Chengdu and left it to Zhao Hao to deal with it.

After leaving Chongqing, he led his troops straight to Yongchuan. The march was very urgent. The special brigade sent a company in advance to conduct reconnaissance, and then most of a battalion followed, so there was basically no need to worry about being ambushed.

After marching for a day and a night, thirty miles away from Yongchuan, they encountered the response troops of the special battalion ahead.

Battalion Commander Wang Mazi was Leng Yu's general, and this time the task fell on him again. Seeing Gao Sheng, Wang Mazi put away his gangster spirit and saluted and greeted Gao Sheng seriously.

After some reporting, Gao Sheng learned that the Yunnan Army's troops stationed in Yongchuan were about 3,000 people. According to the establishment of the Yunnan Army, they were approximately one echelon, that is, two detachments, equivalent to the strength of two regiments.

The Yunnan Army has a bad reputation in southern Sichuan. Wang Mazi easily found out that the commander of this Yunnan Army was Li Hongxiang, the leader of the echelon. After entering Yongchuan, the Yunnan Army was not heavily guarded and only deployed a

The strength of a company.

Even so, Wang Mazi did not dare to make any moves easily. He retreated carefully and waited for the main force with high promotion rate to arrive. It is not that Wang Mazi changed his temper, but that the troops of the Yunnan Army entering Sichuan were composed of two echelon groups, about

The strength of two brigades.

No matter how courageous Wang Mazi was, he would not dare to use his 500 men to attack a county town guarded by more than 2,000 people.

Gao Sheng immediately moved forward, found a high slope, and raised his telescope to look ahead. At the same time, on a hillside ahead, Li Hongxiang was also looking ahead with his telescope.

There is a reason why the Yunnan Army is awesome. This is thanks to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Xiliang, who spent a lot of time purchasing arms when he was in Yunnan. In the last years of Guangxu, he purchased fifty-four new German mountain guns with 1,000 rounds of shells.

.Forty-nine Maxim machine guns, more than 10,000 new five-piece rifles, and more than 1,000 box guns.

Therefore, when the Yunnan Army returned from poverty to poverty, it was only after a good time. The foundation laid by Xiliang, the former Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, in parallel history, until the War of Protecting the Country, the Protectorate was still capable of fighting against the mountain artillery of the Beiyang Army.

boom.

In addition, the Yunnan Army's training level is much higher than that of the Sichuan Army, and its equipment is better, so it naturally dares to bully the Sichuan Army. Now that the National Defense Forces are attacking Chongqing, the two echelons of the Yunnan Army discussed that they might as well not leave at all, and just take root in Sichuan.

It should be okay to expand to Yongchuan. So I telegraphed Kunming and asked for reinforcements so that we could take root in Sichuan.

In this parallel history, the Yunnan Army actually ruled Sichuan for a period of time. The Yunnan Army's ambition for Sichuan has never diminished. It was not until Tang Jiyao died that the Yunnan Army became honest and closed the door and slowly stayed at home.
