The case in Chengdu reached Wang Hengyue's ears immediately.
Wang Hengyue did not show much surprise at this scene that was bound to happen. His entire focus now was on his independent hybrid master.
The Chengdu Mutiny was just a prelude to the great chaos. In a while, the time will come for Sichuan to fight. If you don’t have a strong armed force to defend the place, you will definitely be just a small wave in the historical trend.
It could be submerged without a trace at any time.
While Wang Hengyue was actively preparing for war, Xiong Kewu finally returned to Sichuan.
At this time, Xiong Kewu was appointed commander-in-chief of the Shu Army's Northern Expedition by the Tongmenghui, and soon accepted Sun Yat-sen's order and returned to April 1 to accept the leadership of the Shu military government in Chongqing.
When Xiong Kewu returned to Sichuan, he did not go to Chongqing immediately. He chose Rong County as his first stop.
I met Wang Hengyue in Rong County, and it was here that Wang Hengyue saved his life. When I came back here again, I couldn't help but sigh, things have changed and people have changed.
Today's Wang Hengyue is no longer the small team officer he was back then!
Wang Hengyue is now the deputy governor of the "Han Sichuan Military Government" and the commander of the independent mixed division. However, on the streets of Rong County, there are still posters everywhere "Long Live the Chinese Revolutionary Military Government" and "Chinese Revolutionary Military Government"
"Long Live Comrade" banner. It seems that Chengdu's appointment has not affected the people of Rong County at all. In their minds, Wang Hengyue is still their "Heng Commander"!
Soldiers could be seen coming and going everywhere, and the recruiting office was packed to the brim. A large number of porters hurriedly entered the city carrying wooden boxes one after another. One worker was walking in a hurry, and the wooden box fell to the ground. It was full of
Bullets were scattered everywhere.
Are those wooden boxes full of weapons and ammunition? Wang Hengyue is rich and has plenty of weapons!
When he learned that Xiong Kewu had arrived in Rong County, Wang Hengyue also opened up his full posture and gave Xiong Kewu enough face. All officers from the battalion and above of the independent mixed division were dispatched. Under the leadership of Wang Hengyue, they all performed a military salute: "Welcome Mr. Xiong.
The commander inspects Rong County!"
"Shuzhi, my brother Shuzhi, what kind of attitude are you putting on?" Xiong Kewu smiled and greeted him: "Such a big pomp, I can't stand it!" "Brother Kewu is now the Northern Shu Army.
Commander-in-Chief, Wang Hengyue is just a junior division commander, so of course Li Ku!" Wang Hengyue said with a smile.
As the two walked towards the headquarters, Xiong Kewu said: "I am still the commander-in-chief. I was ordered to return to April 1st" to accept the leadership of the Shu military government. On the way, I received an order from the Shu military government and appointed me as the commander of the first division.
." Wang Hengyue looked surprised: "What? Division commander? Not the commander-in-chief? I'm about to send a telegram to express my welcome." "By the way, you, a telegraph general, don't act with me anymore!" Xiong Kewu said with a smile: "
I'm afraid you'll know it before me before I receive the appointment. Isn't it a slap in the face to say this?" Wang Hengyue laughed loudly, entered his headquarters, and asked Xiong Kewu to sit down: "Brother Kewu, I
This is also puzzling. There is a military government in Chengdu and a military government in Chongqing. Who do you want me to listen to?" Xiong Kewu's expression became more serious: "To put it bluntly, I came to Rong County today specifically to talk to you.
You said this. After the establishment of the Shu Military Government in Chongqing, fifty-seven prefectures and counties in southeastern Sichuan responded to the news and merged under the Shu Military Government one after another, condemning Pu Dianjun and others to compromise with Zhao Erfeng to establish the Han Sichuan
Military government. The military governments of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and other provinces also believed that the Chengdu government was a "Gelaohui government" and refused to recognize it. They unanimously recognized the Chongqing Shu military government as a [revolutionary] government and the only legal government in Sichuan. Cai Wei, the governor of the Yunnan military government
The general wrote to the Hubei military government, hoping to unite and attack Chengdu. The Shu military government has decided to march westward and invited Yunnan and Guizhou to send troops to support.
Which one do you think is legal? Which side should you listen to?"
"General Cai Zhen wants to attack? Hubei, Guizhou, and Yunnan also want to attack?" Wang Hengyue said with surprise: "How can you let Chengdu resist this? Zhao Erfeng is dead and Pu Dianjun has also stepped down. It seems unnecessary, right?"
"Zhao Erfeng is dead, and Pu Dianjun has indeed stepped down, but Yin Changheng is still there, and Luo Lun is still there." Xiong Kewu said seriously: "One of these two people is a powerful figure who is keen on fighting for military power and status, and the other is from Ge Lao Hui.
Helmsman, who is a truly revolutionary person? To put it bluntly, you hold a heavy army and are the most righteous hero. In this extraordinary period, I hope you can continue to support the revolution, support the Shu military government, and assist the Shu army.
The government has completed the true reunification of Sichuan!"
"Yes, yes, Heng Yue sincerely supports the [revolution] and reunification." He kept saying this, but Wang Hengyue suddenly changed the topic: "I'm just afraid that Yue has something unclear, so I asked Brother Kewu for advice."
"Why don't you say it politely? There is nothing else you and I can't say, brothers."
Wang Hengyue said slowly: "The matter in Sichuan should be settled by Sichuan, why should we invite the Jin Army?
When the Yunnan Army entered Sichuan? The Manchu and Qing court is still here, and if everyone doesn't work together to overthrow the Manchu Qing, how can they care about who is in charge of Sichuan? Is it necessary to unify the country by force before sending troops to capture Beijing? Or is it really true?
Don’t understand that.”
Xiong Kewu was at a loss for words, and Wang Hengyue said slowly and calmly: "Our [revolutionary] army is fighting Duan Fang and Zhao Erfeng. Now that Duan Fang is dead and Zhao Erfeng is dead, who else should we fight? We have to fight to the death in Chongqing and Chengdu. See you.
Is it okay to come out as a superior person?
Fighting will not lead to superiority. Talking, we can talk about it. At present, Yuan Shikai is still negotiating peace between the north and the south. Why can't Sichuan negotiate peace?"
Xiong Kewu was speechless.
Wang Hengyue had indeed changed. At first, he was very respectful to him, saying "Sir" when he spoke, and "Sir" when he didn't speak. But now, what he said, he remembered to go straight to the point, hiding the needle in the cotton, showing no mercy.
But he couldn't refute what he said.
Wang Yiyue smiled slightly: "Brother, I am the most fair person. I will not attack Chengdu or Chongqing. I just hope that everyone can sit down and talk. Is there anything that cannot be solved? Whether it is Chengdu or Chongqing,
I don’t care who unites whom, but if anyone touches my place, Brother Kewu, I, Wang Hengyue, will turn his face and deny anyone!"
Xiong Kewu was just talking when Ma Xiao suddenly walked in in a hurry, followed by Jiang Baili with the same serious face.
As soon as the words "Hengshuai" and "Hengshuai" came out of his mouth, Ma Xiao saw Xiong Kewu at the side and quickly changed his words: "Yunnan's Sichuan troops are arriving in Yibin!"
"What, are you really here?" Wang Hengyue stood up suddenly, took the information, read it for a while, and sneered again and again: "Okay, okay, aid Sichuan and aid 1" actually came to my territory first!"
Xiong Kewu was puzzled: "Tell me, what is going on?"
"Brother Kewu, please take a look for yourself!" Wang Hengyue handed the information to Xiong Kewu with a sullen face.
It turned out that in 1911, Cai Xun left Guangxi and went to Yunnan to serve as the co-union. Many of the alliance members in the army at that time were his subordinates and they had a good relationship with each other. After the Wuchang Uprising, the Yunnan alliance members prepared to revolt, and they believed that Cai Xun was sympathetic.
The "Revolution" decided to invite him to participate in the preparations for the "Revolution". Cai Zhen also readily agreed, and presided over the organizational work of the "Revolution" and carried out careful deployment. On Double Ninth Night, the Yunnan Uprising was successful, and Cai Zhen was arrested.
Promoted to be the governor.
Cai Zhen led the Yunnan New Army uprising in an organized manner and soon took control of the province. After the uprising, Yunnan's political situation was stable, its troops were well-organized, and its morale was strong. The Yunnan New Army was well-trained and was one of the few elites with complete organizational structure among the uprising provinces.
Armed. Therefore, Li Yuanhong, the governor of Hubei, and Chan Yan, the governor of Hunan, returned, and Huang Xing, the commander-in-chief during the war, asked Cai Wei to lead the northern expedition.
However, Yunnan is in the remote southwest, with rugged mountain roads and long distances. There is no effective transportation in the southwest. When setting out for the Northern Expedition, we can only march on foot, and it is impossible to reach the front line quickly. At the same time, Sichuan
After the armed riots in various places, order was chaotic, and some areas were still under the control of the Qing army, as well as the Han Dynasty in Sichuan
The establishment of the military government made Cai Zhen decide to attack Chengdu first!
So, on November 11, Cai Zhen formed an army to aid Sichuan, consisting of one division and two echelon regiments. The road to Sichuan from Yunnan was rugged and the march was slow. On December 16, the army to aid Congo was finally less than a hundred miles away from Yibin!
Xiong Kewu was so shocked that he lost consciousness.
Yunnan’s new army is elite, but is Wang Hengyue’s new army inferior? This fight will definitely be dark and dark, and from now on, it will definitely involve the entire Fourth Army.” From now on, there is no possibility of peace negotiations in Chengdu and Chongqing!
Wang Hengyue kept sneering: "Okay, since you want to fight, I will accompany you to fight!"
In fact, Wang Hengyue was very clear about Cai Zhen's purpose of aiding Sichuan. Cai Zhen was indeed a great hero, but he seemed a little too hasty in sending troops to Sichuan and Guizhou this time.
Cai Bang's intentions were good. He only wanted to concentrate on the Northern Expedition and do his best for the Republic. However, what happened later was beyond his expectation and it deviated from the original track!
Originally, the plan of the Northern Expedition organized by Cai Zhen was to pass through Luzhou, Sichuan and leave the Yangtze River to participate in the Northern Expedition.
However, Cai Ao saw that the internal order in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces was chaotic. In his telegram to Sun Yat-sen, he believed that it was difficult to expect these two provinces to restore order on their own and affect the overall situation. Therefore, he took it upon himself to "aid Sichuan and save Jin" and prepared to use
Yunnan's military strength controls the three southwestern provinces.
However, a series of huge changes occurred after that, which completely deviated from Cai Zhen's previous imagination.
Now that Yunnan's Sichuan troops have arrived in Yibin, no matter what aspect you consider, this will not help the situation in Sichuan, but will easily make the situation further out of control!
Wang Hengyue knew that at this time, it was time for him to show a tough attitude: "Order, I will independently form a mixed division, the armed guard, the security team, and the artillery team will all be dispatched, and all forces will be gathered in Yibin to help me raise my property, and I will not hesitate to do so."
At all costs, completely annihilate the invading enemy!" Xiong Kewu was really anxious: "Please wait a moment, Xiong Kewu has something else to say!"@.
