Qiao Yu also appreciates Luo Lun's eloquence. If it weren't for the problem of Sichuan-Hankou Road, Luo Lun would not be able to comfort the people of Sichuan. Qiao Yu would like to keep this good dog. His bite is really sharp. Xiong Kewu
He was so angry that he could hardly speak. He pointed with his hand for a long time and said reluctantly: "Luo Lun, do you still have an overall view of the situation? Do you know that other provinces are fighting against the lackeys of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties? You are trying to help the Qing Dynasty."
Can you help?"
"You don't have the qualifications to accuse me of Luo. We initiated the road protection movement, and we were also responsible for the demise of the Qing Dynasty. It is obvious to everyone in the world that Sichuan contributed the most to overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now it is in urgent need of recuperation and recuperation, but you insist on insisting on it."
Zhan, I would like to ask you if Xiong Jinfan is from Sichuan and if you still have these fellow countrymen mentally!"
Luo Lun and Xiong Kewu were fighting each other, and Xiong Kewu was so angry that he couldn't do anything at all. Yu Peilun was also very embarrassed at this time. He hoped that Sichuan could send troops, but as a Sichuanese, he also knew that Sichuan did need to recuperate, and he did not want to see a revolution.
There was such a stalemate between the party and the local forces in Sichuan that they had no choice but to step forward to smooth things over.
"Brother Jinfan, Speaker Luo, we are all anti-Qing patriots, but our starting points are a little different. I think we can completely resolve it through negotiation. Don't hurt the harmony!"
"Well, what Brother Yun Ji said makes sense. How to deal with the military affairs? I think we should first come up with a charter through the military committee, and then the military government and the parliament will discuss it. Now that the war is urgent, we must come up with a solution as soon as possible.
It benefits everyone. I think the military committee will hold a special meeting to discuss it in the afternoon. For the time being, everyone should think about what to do!" Qiao Yu also spoke, Luo Lun and Xiong Kewu couldn't continue to argue, and they were both very angry.
left.
"Jinfan, why are you so reckless? What Luo Lun and others said is true, but the people of Sichuan are suffering too much. How can they easily support so many troops!"
"Yu Yunji, you don't know how urgent the war in Hubei is. I am also from Sichuan, but I have to consider the whole of China. Sichuan is a prosperous province. If Qiao Yu hadn't reformed the Lijin and salt policies,
, will we have no money? Just setting up a few checkpoints will be enough. Don’t be deceived by their rhetoric. We must try our best to fight for it in the afternoon meeting!” Xiong Kewu was determined after eating the weight, and Yu Peilun also
I don’t know how to persuade him, but Yang Shukan on the side didn’t say anything. He had already suffered too much.
What happened today is weird. Why did Wang Dongcheng fire at this time? Why did Luo Lun fight with Xiong Kewu? The most suspicious thing is Qiao Yu's attitude. He seems to be leaning towards the revolutionary party, but Yang Shu is okay.
They would never believe that Qiao Yu would help them. There was definitely a big conspiracy inside. Thinking of this, Yang Shukan looked back at the Governor's Mansion and then shook his head.
In the afternoon, Qiao Yu and eight other people sat together in the small conference room of the Governor's Mansion. The meeting was chaired by Zhu Qinglan.
"Commander, I would like to make preliminary statistics. Sichuan's current army has two divisions of the Sichuan Revolutionary Army, one division of the Chongqing Garrison Division, two garrison brigades of Southern Sichuan and Fushun, and a temporary third division. The original New Army's 3rd Division in Chengdu
In Seventeen Towns, the border guards and patrol camps left behind by Zhao Erfeng, and the civilian army gathered by Minister Xiong have reached more than 44,000 people. Sichuan's army has exceeded 100,000, and this does not include some local garrison troops.
It’s shocking to think about it. Reorganizing the army is an inevitable choice, otherwise Sichuan will collapse without doing anything!”
"Chief of Staff, is it appropriate to disband the army before the Qing Dynasty is overthrown?"
"Minister Xiong, dismantling the army does not mean that the combat effectiveness is weakened. Focusing limited money and food on elite troops can enhance the combat effectiveness of the army!"….
Xiong Kewu is not stupid. What does it mean to concentrate on elite troops? Now Sichuan only has its own militia, which is a ragtag group of people without even guns. Well, this is a Hongmen Banquet against itself!
"You might as well tell the Chief of Staff which part of the army he wants to disband. I'll wait for you later!"
"There are many troops to be abolished. First, all local garrison troops must be uniformly replaced by patrol police, and only regular troops should be stationed in strategic locations. Fushun's salt policy reform is going smoothly, and the garrison brigades can be abolished in due course. Chengdu's original army must also be
Rectify, these all need to be rectified!"
"The chief of staff has said so much about how much can be abolished. I'm afraid you have forgotten the most important civilian army. This is the main force that needs to be abolished!"
Zhu Qinglan himself is an old soldier, and with the support of Qiao Yu, will he be afraid of Xiong Kewu, who is pretending to be a tiger? He immediately responded without any sign of weakness: "The reason why I didn't mention the civilian army is because it is not an army at all.
Originally, there were only about 20,000 militiamen near Chengdu, and only 1,800 of them had combat effectiveness. Minister Xiong, after you came to Chengdu these days, not only the militiamen who had been disbanded were re-assembled, but you also went around to arrest husbands.
The army composed of some peasants has no fighting capacity at all. It is said to be a ragtag force, so shouldn't it be disbanded?"
Zhu Qinglan rejected Xiong Kewu's words unceremoniously. Xiong Kewu had been fighting with Luo Lun since the morning, and now he was fighting with Zhu Qinglan. He seemed to have never been so unhappy in his life, and he felt more and more depressed. What was more polite was Yu Peilun and
Yang Shukan and Yang Shukan didn't even know how to speak for themselves. They were really pig-like teammates.
"Zhu Qinglan, although the people's army has just been formed, they have all experienced the road protection movement, and these people still have righteousness in their hearts and strong morale. Not only can they defeat the Manchus, but they will not be afraid of intimidation from any enemy!"
When Qiao Yu saw that the heat was almost over, he hurriedly spoke: "Chief of Staff, I think what Minister Xiong said is reasonable. There are three major events before our military government now. The first is to stabilize Sichuan, and the second is to expedition to the Northern Manchu Qing Dynasty.
, The third is to assist Wuhan. In my opinion, the task of assisting Wuhan is more important. We cannot just focus on Sichuan. We should have the world in mind like Minister Xiong. Wuhan is the place of supreme justice and the banner of revolution in the world. Now
The war is becoming more and more urgent, and Feng Guozhang burned Hankou with ferocity and brutality, and now attacks Hanyang, we must help Wuhan!"
When Qiao Yu said this, everyone present was not stupid. They finally noticed Qiao Yu's plan. Yang Shukan, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly became aware that he was going to go up to the house and take out the ladder. Didn't you Xiong Kewu keep saying that?
In the Northern Expedition, do you want to aid Wuhan? Then get out of Sichuan!
Yang Shukan is now completely convinced of Qiao Yu. Even though he is much older than others, the fighting methods are not on the same level at all. A change gradually arises in his heart, but Yu Peilun has not thought through Qiao Yu.
Plan, but secretly thought in his heart that Qiao Yu still understands the overall situation.
Xiong Kewu felt something was wrong, but he had already said his words, and now he had no way to take them back. He had to wait for what Qiao Yu would say specifically!
"Brother Jinfan, you know the military and are familiar with the revolutionary comrades in Wuhan. This time, the most determined revolutionaries must be used to assist Wuhan, and their identities must be sufficient to show Sichuan's sincerity. Now all provinces have evil intentions, and the real aid
There are not many provinces in Wuhan, so we in Sichuan will set an example. I propose that Xiong Kewu be the commander-in-chief of the Hubei aid army, Yu Peilun be the deputy commander, and Zhu Zhihong be the chief of staff. They will be in charge of the Hubei aid army and set off as soon as possible and go straight to Wuchang!"
