Speaking of the incident in Xufu, we must first talk about bank accounts and banks. This is a relatively primitive financial institution. It is responsible for the task of settlement and exchange and occupies an important position in society. There are many large bank banks.
Spread across the country and earn huge profits.
However, as soon as the Revolution of 1911 began, a huge crisis arose. These bank accounts were not prepared for the Revolution of 1911 and were completely caught off guard. A lot of money from the Qing government and wealthy households was stored in banks, and the revolutionary trend broke out.
, it is natural to withdraw the money stored in the ticket number.
Because the banknotes were not prepared, although they still had hundreds of thousands or even millions of silver on their books, the actual silver was not that much. The South was in war again, and even if there was money, it could not be transported, so naturally they could not cope with the run.
Due to the trend, the only way out was to close down. Soon the trend of bank closures swept across the country.
This is the situation across the country, but the situation in southern Sichuan is different. Sichuan has always been a place of prosperous economy and trade, so there are not only a few bank deposits. Although there were some runs, they were able to withstand it. However, due to the serious economic crisis of the people's army
, Yang Shukan and others discussed carefully for a long time, and finally adopted Zhu Zhihong's suggestion and took action on the ticket number.
Xufu will be Yibin in the future. It is an important town in southern Sichuan, close to Yunnan and Guizhou. Business and trade are prosperous, and the bank account is even more prosperous. It has accumulated astonishing wealth in the city. The militiamen who are already crazy about poverty have set their sights on these wealthy people.
Yang, immediately sent a large number of troops to control various banks, and forcibly withdrew all the deposits of the Qing court and Manchu bureaucrats, regardless of whether they were due or not. They had done this before, but not on such a large scale.
This time, more than a dozen bank accounts all over Xufu were in trouble.
Since the civilian army was divided into many shares and the discipline was not strict, many people said they were withdrawing money, but in fact many turned into robbery. At the same time, when the people of Xufu heard that all the money in the bank had been taken away, they naturally panicked.
Soon there was a wave of crowding, and serious conflicts broke out between the civilian army and the people who came to run, resulting in many casualties.
This suddenly caused big trouble. The people of Sichuan are different from the past. The people who have been mobilized by the road protection movement will naturally not wait to die. In addition, there are also many militiamen in Xufu. At the same time, the bank account keeper has suffered heavy losses.
, various wealthy businessmen also supported it, and an anti-military alliance was immediately formed.
Wang Chengji, the leader of the local Constitutional Party in the Syrian Prefecture, gathered these forces together and took the initiative to attack the civilian army at night. The civilian army received a large amount of silver. They were rejoicing in their hearts but lacked preparedness. They were attacked by the military and civilians of the Syrian Prefecture.
After a while of killing, not only did they take back most of the money, but they also killed hundreds of civilian soldiers.
The defeated people's army fled back to Rong County. Naturally, Yang Shukan and others were unwilling to fail. It didn't matter that they were bullied by Qiao Yu. Even the powerful locals in Xufu dared to kidnap Hu Hu. Isn't this looking for death? The people's army immediately
To besiege Xufu, Wang Chengji was not a fool. He immediately guarded the city of Xufu and at the same time sent a telegram to Qiao Yu for help.
After getting this telegram, Qiao Yu was very happy. He actually had this idea when selling weapons to the People's Army. The People's Army had limited funds and spent them on weapons. Naturally, there were not enough elsewhere. They
In the end, it was inevitable to attack the local powerful, which would naturally cause a backlash from the local powerful. Now that he got his wish, it was time for him to clean up the mess, so Qiao Yu immediately brought his second brother Qiao Zhen over.
"Second brother, I am going to lead troops to Xufu now. I will completely deal with the civilian army first and avoid future troubles. In addition, I am worried that the Yunnan Army will take the opportunity to enter Sichuan, so I have to set up defenses in Xufu. Second brother, please take the second brother first.
The Second Division is stationed in Fushun to control the local area, especially to control all the local armed forces. You can use the power of the Lu family, and when I take over, go to Fushun and preside over the overall salt policy reform!"….
"Third brother, the Yunnan army is an elite soldier fighting on the border. They are not easy to deal with. Moreover, the second brother is not very good at controlling places. I should go to Xufu and you to Fushun!"
"Second brother, I am going because the Yunnan Army is difficult to deal with. Moreover, we cannot rely on force to deal with the Yunnan Army. We must grasp the degree of control and use public opinion to resist the Yunnan Army and let them retreat when faced with difficulties. But we cannot
It's easy to fall out. After all, Sichuan has not yet been unified. It will be very disadvantageous to fight the Yunnan Army rashly. Moreover, we have to win over the Constitutional Party in Xufu. There are also a lot of troubles. I don't worry if I don't handle it personally. Second brother, you will do it after you arrive in Fushun.
Just make sure the place is safe. If you encounter any difficulties, just send me a telegram, and you can also ask the Lu family for help. There won’t be too much trouble!”
When Qiao Zhen heard what her third brother said, she realized that Xu Mansion was also a big trouble and she was not suitable for it, so she nodded in agreement. After Qiao Yu completed the assignment, she immediately rushed to Xu Mansion with the troops of the First Division overnight.
At this time, Yang Shukan was commanding the civilian army to attack Xu Mansion, and the soldiers and civilians of Xu Mansion also rose up to resist. The civilian army used only a few artillery pieces to blast a hole in the city wall, but the people of Xu Mansion mobilized and directly demolished countless
They blocked the gap again and fought for more than a day, but the civilian army still failed to enter the Xufu.
At this time, Yang Shukan gradually felt that something was wrong. He had dealt with Qiao Yu a lot. He knew how terrifying this young man was. Now he was attacking Xu Mansion, and Qiao Yu was in Luzhou, two hundred miles away. If he
When he arrived, he was attacked from both sides, so he urged the army to attack the Syrian government.
Both sides were angry. Wang Chengji, the leader of the Syrian Constitutional Party, personally went to the city to boost morale: "Folks, these idiot militia have robbed our money and now want to rob our homes. Can you allow it?"
"No, fight back, fight them all out!" The shouts became louder and louder. Wang Chengji was extremely happy when he saw that the people's support was available: "Folks, don't be afraid. We are holding on. I have contacted the military.
Governor Qiao of the government believes that reinforcements will arrive soon, so everyone grit their teeth and hold on, and don’t let the people of Xufu lose their prestige!"
While talking, the civilian army launched another round of attack. The weapons in the Syrian government were limited. After several rounds of firefights, there were very few left. Now the civilian army rushed up again. Many muskets could no longer fire. The civilian army was about to break through.
When we were in Xufu, suddenly there seemed to be a burst of muffled thunder in the distance, and the earth trembled. Yang Shukan was supervising the team. When he heard the sound, he immediately felt something bad. This was a large group of cavalry coming to kill him.
With the sound of horse hooves, there was no doubt that Qiao Yu's team was on the way.
Yang Shukan hurriedly organized an army to resist, but it was too late. A group of cavalry came over like a whirlwind. A single volley of carbine in their hands wounded dozens of civilian soldiers. Then these cavalrymen all held bright sabers and fired at the civilians.
The army came and chopped them down.
Since the birth of the machine gun, the cavalry, as a once powerful branch of the military, has become increasingly declining. As long as it can concentrate enough firepower, the cavalry will undoubtedly be a huge target. However, now the civilian army does not have this kind of firepower. There are only a few machine guns.
Also due to the serious lack of bullets, they could no longer fire. Now faced with the crazy attack of the cavalry, naturally there was only one way to collapse.
The man who led this cavalry was Zhang Tie. He was one of the first guards to follow Qiao Yu. Now he has become the commander of the cavalry regiment of the first division. He has more than a thousand elite cavalry in his hands. This is the first time that he has
They went to battle and showed great power. The civilian troops outside Xufu City collapsed one after another.
When Wang Chengji and others saw this scene in the city, they were extremely happy and cheered loudly. After the cavalry dispersed the civilian army, they did not continue to pursue them, but temporarily rested outside the city. Soon Qiao Yu's infantry team followed closely.
Follow along.
"Lao Li fought well. He defeated thousands of civilian soldiers with only cavalry. It was a great achievement!"
"The governor has given me the reward. They are just a ragtag group of people, vulnerable! It's not a big credit."
At this time, Wang Chengji took the initiative to come out to work on behalf of the people in Xufu City. When he saw Qiao Yu, Wang Chengji bowed to the end and said, "Thank you, Governor Gao Yi, for saving the people of Xufu in the crisis. On behalf of the people of Xufu, I would like to thank you."
This is a great kindness from you!”
"Mr. Wang, you're welcome. The key now is to treat the injured. At the same time, many banks have been affected by this incident, and people's hard-earned money has been threatened. I think it's better to resolve this matter as soon as possible and count the losses. I'll do it as soon as possible."
