The Sichuan Army was coming from afar, and Wang Hengyue was waiting for work. He also had artillery and guns, and his morale was high. With this attack, the entire Sichuan Army might be wiped out.
As a result, Chongqing and Chengdu, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan will have to fight fiercely.
"Brother Kewu, can't I just sit back and wait for death since the enemy has hit me right under the nose?"
Wang Hengyue asked coldly.
"No, no, that's not what I mean." Xiong Kewu said repeatedly: "In any case, I will put it on hold for a while until I get to the Sichuan Army and ask about the situation. It will not be too late to talk about it then."
Wang Yiyue glanced at him coldly: "Brother Kewu, I will give you this face. The two sides are bounded by the Yibin Waichan Family Field. If the Sichuan Army goes further, don't blame me, Wang Hengyue, for falling out!"
Xiong Kewu was worried that something would happen and did not dare to neglect. He asked Wang Hengyue to borrow a fast horse and galloped away to Yibin.
As soon as he left, Ma Xiao asked: "Hengshuai, should we fight or not?"
"Hit? Beat me. Once I hit you, I will become a public enemy. Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou,
Chongqing must be attacked in large numbers! How can I use one division to defeat the enemies in the four places?" Wang Hengyue sneered a few times: "I forgive him for not being able to fight against the Yunnan Army. Everyone is putting up a posture and pretending, but who can
I don’t dare to fire the first shot!”
Jiang Baili and Cai Wei had known each other a long time ago. After hearing this, they nodded slightly: "It is better not to fight than to fight. The most important thing for us now is to be stable and concentrate on growing, rather than falling into consumption. Cai Songpo wants to "reform"
He wanted to unify Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou by force, and then concentrate on the Northern Expedition. But the conditions in these places are different, so how can they be unified overnight?
"
"I admire Cai Songpo, he is a true revolutionary." Wang Hengyue's words did not mean to blame Cai Zhen at all, but more of admiration: "And I don't expect anything to happen to the aid this time."
In my case, on the contrary, it can promote peace negotiations in Chongqing and Chengdu and complete the temporary unification of Sichuan. This actually turns a bad thing into a good thing."
"Oh?" Jiang Baili and Ma Xiao both said "oh" at the same time, a little surprised.
Wang Hengyue smiled and said nothing. Could it be that he said that after the Yunnan Army entered Sichuan, military discipline was ruined, and "revolutionary" heroes were killed, which finally caused anger and resentment, and indirectly prompted Chongqing and Chengdu to sit at the negotiating table?
"Actually, there have always been conflicts between Yunnan and Sichuan. The main problem in Sichuan is Yunnan." Wang Hengyue said slowly: "It is good for Cai Zhen to be in charge of Yunnan at the moment. At most, it will be some [revolutionary] contradictions. But in the future, there will be chaos.
Together, someone else has taken control of Yunnan, and let’s see, this control of Sichuan will definitely become a provincial policy in Yunnan!”
"Why is this?" Ma Xiao asked puzzledly.
Wang Hengyue's eyes were a little uncertain: "The core is Yuntu! Controlling Four 1" to open up the Yangtze River waterway will definitely greatly facilitate the transportation of opium from the Yangtze River Basin! Opium will be the economic pillar of many troops in the future and the fundamental interests!"
Jiang Baili thought for a while and nodded slightly.
But I was also a little surprised. This Hengshuai had already thought so far ahead? Could it be that he had already expected that the situation in China in the future would be chaotic?
Wang Hengyue stopped talking and adjusted his military uniform: "Let's go to Yibin!"
After arriving in Yibin, perhaps Xiong Kewu's persuasion had an effect, or perhaps the tight security in Yibin made the Sichuan aiding army worry. The Sichuan aiding army stopped advancing thirty miles away from Tanjiachang.
At this time, two regiments of the Independent Mixed Division, one regiment of the Armed Guards, and two brigades of the Security Force were stationed in Yibin, watching with eager eyes, and started a fight.
Those black muzzles and the murderous faces of the soldiers, with just one order, this place will surely turn into a battlefield of blood and fire!
Wang Hengyue knows very well that this battle cannot be fought, but he must take a tough attitude now!
Yanjing is his most important economic pillar at present. After the situation becomes chaotic in the future, it will definitely become a coveted place for warlords from all walks of life. If he does not have a tough attitude and is not afraid of war, I am afraid that anyone will want to get involved in the future! Really.
At that time, I am afraid that these places will never have peace again!
"Tell it, tell it!" Xiong Kewu, who returned to Yibin from the Sichuan Army, was a bit reproachful: "Why did you bring so many troops over?" "Brother Kewu devoted himself to the [revolution], and brothers believe in brother Kewu.
, but brothers have to take precautions early, otherwise they may still be dreaming if their heads are chopped off!"
Wang Hengyue's words made Xiong Kewu smile bitterly and pointed outside the city: "I analyzed the pros and cons with them, and the Sichuan aid army has agreed not to continue marching, pending orders from Governor Cai Xun and the Chongqing Shu military government."
"Am I afraid if we really march?" Wang Hengyue sneered: "Come here, go and get things done!"
A few soldiers took it to the wall outside the city and wrote large words on the wall: "Wang Hengyue is here!"
These words could be clearly seen from a distance, and Xiong Kewu took a breath of air.
Wang Hengyue is here!
The following meaning is that this is Wang Hengyue's territory, and it is self-evident what a hard attacker will do.
"Brother!" Xiong Kewu spoke very hurriedly: "I will go to Chongqing to take up my post soon. I beg you, try to restrain it no matter what!"
Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "Brother Kewu, I, Mr. Wang, will never fire the first shot, but if anyone wants to fight, I'm not afraid! Brother, sincerely say a word, talking is better than fighting! Sichuan's problems have to be solved by Sichuan
Let’s solve it!”
Xiong Kewu left, and the troops aiding Sichuan retreated again. A battle that was about to break out was temporarily halted by Wang Hengyue's tough attitude.
But calmness is only on the surface...
An independent mixed division is obviously not enough to control the overall situation. Rongxian, Leshan, Ziliujing, Gongjing, and Yibin are all under Wang Hengyue's control. As the territory expands, the front line is also significantly lengthened.
Expanding the army has become a top priority.
Wang Hengyue only had one division in his hands, but this did not hinder Wang Hengyue's expansion.
The independent mixed division was organized into six main infantry regiments, led by Xie Shuixiang, Li Yifeng,
Xu Mu, Wu Qianlong, Yang Sen, and Wang Zanxu commanded. A mixed regiment was commanded by Ma Xiao. A guard regiment was commanded by Huang Zixuan. Two supplementary regiments were headed by Wei Shunzhi and Jiang Naihe.
The armed guards were still commanded by Deng Xia and Pitt.
The security team was changed to the security regiment, with Jia Haoyang as the leader. The artillery team was changed to the artillery regiment, with Liu Sihai as the leader.
At this time, each regiment was not full of men, so recruitment became a top priority!
Once each regiment is replenished, Wang Hengyue will have the strength of ten infantry regiments.
Coupled with the armed guards, security regiments, and artillery regiments, once such armed forces appear, they will surely spread in Sichuan.
Play a decisive role in the situation!
A division staff office was also established, with Jiang Baili serving as chief of staff.
The "Internal Affairs Department" was changed to the "Intelligence Bureau" and Yang Fangyun was appointed director; the "Statistics Department" was changed to the "Statistics Bureau" and Yu Lei was appointed director: the newly established "Investigation Department" was transferred to former Yu Lei's subordinates and Lu Xuan, who was admired by Wang Hengyue, was appointed as the director.
.
A special mobile brigade was established, with Kurogane as the brigade leader.
A system completely controlled by Wang Hengyue is taking shape, or it can be said that the "Wang Hengyue Group" has initially gained scale...
Wang Hengyue successfully extracted himself from the chaos in Chengdu and put all his energy into developing and strengthening himself. The title of governor of a military government meant nothing to him.
Before Pu Dianjun's buttocks were warmed up, he was kicked out of the position of governor. Only when Yin Changheng took the seat, he had to face the severe challenges of the crusade against Chengdu from various places, which was enough to give him a headache.
But at this time, Wang Hengyue was developing himself freely, waiting for the day when he would be born...
Another incident happened that greatly enhanced Wang Hengyue's prestige again.
Previously, when the Qing army besieged Rong County, some salt merchants wanted to sell their salt wells out of distrust in their future, but Wang Hengyue took the form of a mortgage and did not want any interest.
During the period from the Qing army's siege to the establishment of the "Han Sichuan Military Government" in Chengdu, Wang Hengyue relied on the salt wells mortgaged to him and obtained a lot of benefits for himself!
After that, when those salt merchants who saw that the situation was stable and wanted to redeem the salt wells with the mortgage documents, Wang Hengyue agreed without hesitation.
Rebel army! Righteous commander! This is the real army of benevolence and righteousness, the real benevolent commander!
Seeing the salt wells returned to them, the salt merchants couldn't believe it! Cheers of "Long live Hengshuai, the wise Hengshuai" kept coming from the mouths of these salt merchants.
Hengshuai promised a lot of money and sympathized with the businessman. No matter how many things were offered in exchange for such a Hengshuai, he would never be allowed to leave!
One word spread to ten, and ten spread to hundreds. Wang Hengyue's reputation for benevolence and righteousness spread quickly!
The gentry class has completely accepted Wang Hengyue and regarded him as their patron saint! But with Heng Shuai here, there is nothing to worry about anymore.
Even if the enemy's thousands of troops come over, Heng Shuai can still protect everyone!
After the news of Wang Hengyue's generous return of the salt wells came out, businessmen from all over the country began to enter Rong County, Leshan, Yibin and other places to look for business opportunities. Sichuan is really in chaos now, and doing business is really uneven. On the territory controlled by Wang Hengyue, there is nothing to worry about.
Yes.
It is also great news for the "Chengdu Commercial Bank" which is under intensive preparation.
A very important thing for a bank is its credibility, and with Wang Hengyue's brand, it will be much smoother when the bank is actually established in the future.
Wang Hengyue will not care about the chaos outside, at least not now.
When your strength is truly strong enough for you to speak for yourself, that's when you will truly appear.
