Looking at the table full of dishes, Zhu Qinglan frowned.
"Yes, someone just sent it."
Qinglan nodded: "Go and give each person who brings food a tael of silver."
"Sir, are they a rebellious party?"
"Rebellion party?" Zhu Qinglan smiled: "I heard that the soldiers in front often ran to the rebel party's positions. Do the rebels bring me a table of food, but I want to kill them? Go and reward them!"
Then he called to several of his subordinates: "Come on, let's all try the craftsmanship of Rong County people."
Picking up the chopsticks to eat, Zhou Daogang said hurriedly: "Sir, be careful of the poison!"
"Poisonous?" Zhu Qinglan laughed "Haha": "If Wang Hengyue wants to use such a dirty trick as poisoning the vegetables, how can he lead those rebellious parties? Come on, eat them all!"
He took a chopstick of the dish and put it in his mouth, praising it profusely: "Good, good, Wang Hengyue has a lot of talent at his disposal. The dish is so delicious."
When the adults ate, the subordinates also extended their chopsticks.
"Wang Hengyue wants to see if I have the appetite to eat this table of food." Zhu Qinglan put down his chopsticks and sighed: "At first, I thought that the chaos in Rong County was just a trivial matter and could be calmed down with a wave of hands. But after arriving in Rong County,
, only to realize that this is not the case. Wang Hengyue has guns, cannons and an arsenal, he can fight this battle."
The adults refused to eat, and the subordinates also put down their chopsticks and listened to Zhu Qinglan continue: "Our appetite is poor and we can't eat this meal. I can't help it, and Zhao Duxian can't help it either. We can only do it and act for each other."
The officials became actors, and the soldiers also became actors. This can be regarded as the most ridiculous battle in history. Where is Wang Hengyue? He can't eat our dish. Everyone understands it tacitly. Let's confront each other.
Let’s see who can survive who else, who has a good appetite, and who can survive longer.”
Zhou Daogang frowned: "Sir, what does Wang Hengyue mean by the dish on today's table?"
"I wonder how Wang Hengyue has such a clear grasp of the court's movements. Does he have spies all over the country?" Zhu Qinglan did not answer immediately. After finishing these words, he said: "The court has once again rejected Zhao Duxian and Sichuan's proposal.
Please request that Duan Fang come out again. If what I say is right, he will soon lead his army into Sichuan!"
"What? Duanfang is entering Sichuan?" All of his subordinates shouted in low voices.
"Yes, Duan Fang's entry into Sichuan will not only not help ease the situation, but will easily arouse the resentment of the Sichuan people, which will cause the war in Sichuan to escalate. By then, the situation will not be able to be dealt with! Zhu Qinglan's face was solemn:" It's ridiculous that the imperial court would use Sheng Xuanhuai
What else does such a person know besides doing business? There is also Prince Chun, who is very young and obedient to Sheng Xuanhuai's words. The court is controlled by these two people and is going to cause a big mess."
He stood up and said slowly: "Wang Hengyue is telling me that Sichuan is also a big table of food, which cannot be eaten by one person. Everyone should share it equally, eat slowly, and wait for the situation to change."
As he spoke, his face straightened: "I order all the soldiers in the Seventeenth Town not to attack without my order and to strictly guard their positions. Anyone who violates the rules will be shot without mercy!"
On August 5, 1911, when the war situation in Rong County was facing a confrontation, Sichuan Governor Zhao Erfeng attended the shareholders' meeting of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company.
He was very cautious in his speech at the meeting. He did not use a tough attitude to ask the shareholders of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company to change their position and fully comply with the requirements of the court. Instead, like the former governor Wang Renwen, he expressed his understanding of everyone's demands. As a local official
, is willing to help everyone wholeheartedly; at the same time, he calls on everyone to maintain restraint and calmness and maintain social stability. In terms of actual policies, he basically agrees with Wang Renwen's plan, but his tone is slightly tactful.
Sheng Xuanhuai and Duan Fang soon discovered that Zhao Erfeng was actually the same as Wang Renwen. They were in the rear and had no understanding of the actual situation in Sichuan at that time, so they planned to have Duan Fang directly enter Sichuan to supervise the matter, and even replace Zhao Erfeng as the official if necessary.
Governor of Sichuan.
At the same time, Sheng Xuanhuai made a small move to persuade Li Jixun, the manager of the Yichang Branch of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company, to accept his plan, and actually handed over the cash deposited in the Yichang Branch without the consent of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company.
Sheng Xuanhuai and Duan Fang. This action further escalated the situation. The shareholders' meeting of Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company and the Comrade Baolu Association were extremely angry and accused Li Jiexun of being a "traitor". The shareholders' meeting made a resolution to remove Li Jiexun as the manager of Yichang Branch.
Sheng Xuanhuai and Duan Fang thought they had a trick, and instead appointed Li Jixun as the manager of the Yichang branch of the new state-owned railway company. This completely angered the Baolu Comrade Association, and they announced a Sichuan-wide strike starting from August 24.
, in protest. At that time, surrounding the Li Jixun affair, the situation escalated seriously. After Sheng Xuanhuai and Duan Fang refused to revoke Li Jixun’s appointment, on August 28, Comrade Baolu of Sichuan began to plan and launch a province-wide anti-donation and anti-donation campaign.
Operation food.
At this time, Zhao Erfeng, who was on the front line, had fully realized the seriousness of the situation. Together with Chengdu General Yu Kun, he sent several telegrams to the cabinet and the regent Zaifeng, reporting that the situation was on the verge of getting out of control, and that the army and police in the provincial capital had also
Being involved in the movement, there was no guarantee that order could be restored by coercive means. He begged the court to suspend the plan to nationalize the Sichuan-Hankou Railway, and the Ministry of Posts and Communications revoked the appointment of Li Jixun. Only in this way could the situation be controlled.
However, Zaifeng and Sheng Xuanhuai, who were completely trapped in their own thinking patterns, believed that Zhao Erfeng and Wang Renwen were exaggerating and alarmist. On September 2, they sent Duan Fang with 2,000 troops from Wuhan to Sichuan to suppress the situation in Sichuan.
Duanfang finally came, and the burial of the Manchu Dynasty finally set off the fuse!
Sichuan is about to enter a state of total war!
It's chaos, no one can control the situation!
"Okay!" Wang Hengyue slammed the table hard: "Duan Fang is finally here! Order all our armies to get ready. Order Yang Senzhi's fifth battalion and Wang Zanxuzhi's sixth battalion to prepare for a sneak attack on Yibin and other places according to the previous plan.
!”
When Duan Fang led his troops into Sichuan, he should have been worried, but Heng Shuai was so excited that the brothers were confused.
"Two thousand people want to suppress our Rong County and control the situation. Sheng Xuanhuai and Zaifeng's thinking is too naive!" Wang Hengyue sneered repeatedly: "Let Long Dengjie and Wang Tianjie lead an 800-person army, carry weapons, and contact Brother Pao."
Qin Zaigeng, the helmsman of the Ren' brand name, the president of the Huayang Comrade Association, and the commander of the East Road Comrade Army, are ready to start an uprising!"
"yes!"
A smile appeared on Wang Hengyue's lips, the day finally arrived.
