As soon as Wang Hengyue's power came out, the whole Sichuan was in a rage, demanding that Chengdu and Chongqing start peace talks immediately!
Under heavy pressure, the military governments in Chengdu and Chongqing finally considered peace talks.
Leaders of the Chongqing Tongmenghui Yang Shukan, Zhang Peijue, Xiong Kewu and Zhu Zhihong agreed to the merger, and the commander-in-chief of southern Sichuan Dan Maoxin also agreed. They called the Chengdu military government and decided to send a plenipotentiary joint committee to Chengdu to discuss "the province's military affairs, finance, security and local affairs"
"Important Event", the issue of the merger of the military governments of Chengdu and Chongqing has been put on the agenda.
Yin Changheng, Luo Lun, Deng Xiaoke and others in Chengdu proposed unification conditions to the Shu Military Government in Chongqing: Chengdu would be the seat of the Sichuan Military Government, Chongqing would be a major military town, and the governors of the former Chengdu and Chongqing governments would be assigned to the merged Sichuan Military Government.
The deputy governor, formerly deputy governor, was appointed as Chongqing envoy or privy council president and president of the Military Senate. Chongqing put forward a counter-proposal: Chengdu would remain the provincial capital, Chongqing would serve as the residence of the Sichuan governor, and Zhang Peijue, the governor of the Shu military government, would serve as Sichuan's governor.
The governors are Yin Changheng, the governor of the Sichuan government, and Xia Zhishi, the deputy governor of the Shu military government. Wang Hengyue and Luo Lun, the deputy governors of the Sichuan military government, are the president of the privy council, the general adviser, or the president of the military senate.
At this time, Wang Renwen, the former governor-general of Sichuan, arrived in Chongqing from Chengdu, and there were rumors that if the two sides could not reach an agreement, Wang Renwen would be elected as the governor of the Sichuan military government as a way to get out of the negotiation dilemma. Wang Renwen was a feudal official in the Qing Dynasty.
, to appoint him as the governor of Sichuan is really a travesty of Japan, and the Shu military government will certainly not agree.
Therefore, the Chongqing Shu Military Government made concessions. The "Chengdu Sichuan Military Government and Chongqing Shu Military Government Agreement Merger Treaty" was signed and came into effect after being stamped by the military governments of both parties.
The agreement stipulates that Chengdu will be the political center and the Sichuan Military Government will be established. The governors of Chengdu and Chongqing will be appointed as deputy governors respectively; Chongqing will be an important town and the town Fufu will be established. In this way, Sichuan was declared unified, with Yin Changheng as the governor of the Sichuan Military Government and Zhang Peijue as the governor.
Deputy Governor, Chongqing Zhenfu Mansion, with Xia Zhishi as the Chief of Zhenfu.
Wang Hengyue, who attracted nationwide attention in Sichuan, was elected as the President of the Military Senate.
In the eyes of Sichuan people, this is extremely unfair to Wang Hengyue, who electrified the whole Sichuan and made all efforts for the unification of Sichuan. President of the Military Senate? Why is he not the governor or deputy governor that Sichuan people imagined before?
?
Under this circumstance, Wang Hengyue once again called the whole Sichuan, saying that he accepted the appointment of the military government and was willing to dedicate himself to the peace of the whole Sichuan as the president of the Military Senate.
Wang Hengyue's attitude once again won unanimous praise from Sichuan people!
After the war, the Nanjing Provisional Government recognized the merger of Chengdu and Chongqing.
After the merger of the Chengdu and Chongqing governments, Yin Changheng, who had obtained the position of governor, was not satisfied with this, but instead set his sights on seizing all military power in Sichuan.
He appointed Yuan Shikai's hot brother Hu Jingyi as the commander of the Sichuan Army Corps and the deputy chairman of the Military Senate to control the entire Sichuan army. Yin Changheng was once Hu Jingyi's student and subordinate. He wanted to use Hu Jingyi's power to seize Sichuan's military power and strengthen his own strength!
Subsequently, Yin Changheng reorganized the Sichuan Army into six divisions: Zhou Jun, commander of the first division, Peng Guanglie, commander of the second division, Sun Zhaoluan, commander of the third division, Liu Cunhou, commander of the fourth division, Xiong Kewu, commander of the fifth division, and Wang Hengyue, commander of the independent mixed division.
Wang Hengyue's prestige in Sichuan is extremely high, and his military strength is very strong, which makes Yin Changheng very worried. If he wants to control the entire Sichuan army, he must first get rid of Wang Hengyue and control his army!
To successfully accomplish this, Wang Hengyue must be transferred away from Rong County, Leshan and other places.
Under this mentality, Yin Changheng issued several orders in succession: one part of the independent mixed division was transferred to Chengdu, the other part entered Hubei territory, and Wang Hengyue served in the Chengdu Military Senate. In this way, Wang Hengyue's power was dispersed, and Wang Hengyue was transferred to Chengdu to control it.
It won't be that difficult to solve it anymore.
Later, Liu Cunhou of the Fourth Division was transferred to Rong County, Leshan, and Yibin to control several areas and seize Wang Hengyue's territory.
Liu Cunhou was originally the chief of staff of the Yunnan Army aiding Sichuan. After the reunification of Sichuan, his department was reorganized into the Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army.
But what Yin Changheng didn't expect was that Wang Hengyue ignored this order.
Wang Hengyue repeatedly emphasized his difficulties. It is not impossible to enter Chengdu, and it is not impossible to go to Hubei, but where is the military pay?
I had already run out of money when I was fighting the Qing soldiers and confronting the Sichuan troops. Now I am seriously in arrears with pay, the morale of the army is unstable, and all the ministries are clamoring for pay. If I want to mobilize, I ask the governor to allocate one first no matter what.
Tens of millions of taels of military pay are provided to meet urgent needs. As soon as the military pay arrives, all ministries will immediately allocate it according to the instructions of the military government without any delay!
He is a lion with a big mouth, and he asks for ten million as soon as he opens his mouth. Instead of asking for military pay, he simply wants Yin Changheng to spend his entire family fortune!
Where can Yin Changheng get 10 million? Besides, even if he really gives 10 million to Wang Hengyue, there is no telling what excuse Wang Hengyue will make up.
Yin Changheng retreated to the next best thing and said only that there was currently no one to preside over the Military Senate, and he hoped that Chairman Wang could take office in Chengdu immediately.
Who would have thought that in just one day, gentry and businessmen from Rongxian, Leshan, Yibin, Ziliujing, and Gongjing would fly to Chengdu like telegrams, demanding to retain Chairman Wang. Chairman Wang must not go to Chengdu!
The sentiments are rising, the sentiments are surging!
Liu Cunhou's Fourth Division also encountered great trouble. The independent mixed divisions in Yibin and other places had already set up machine guns and were watching eagerly. The officers of the independent mixed divisions were noisy and said everywhere that they only recognized Hengshuai and did not have orders from Hengshuai.
, who dares to forcefully occupy their own territory, the fourth division has guns, and the independent mixed division has cannons!
Wang Hengyue came to his army again, and in front of Liu Cuunhou who was ordered to take over, he "showed his righteousness" to his subordinates. In the end, he was almost "sobbing". He wanted his brothers to obey the orders of Chengdu and resolutely support the command of the governor.
Now that Master Liu is here, he should obey the order and give up the place.
However, the officers of the independent mixed division "ignored" and almost staged a "mutiny". If Wang Hengyue had not put his chest to the muzzle of the gun and told Commander Liu to leave quickly, Liu Cunhou would have been almost unable to leave.
Liu Cunhou just moved forward, and Wang Hengyue flew up and kicked Xie Shuixiang, who was making the most noise: "***, is your gun loaded with bullets? Did you really pull out the gun?"
Xie Shuixiang and his brothers were smiling, thinking that Heng Shuai's performance was getting better and better now.
With all the commotion going on, Liu Cunhou's troops could only garrison Luzhou and could not advance or retreat.
Yin Changheng was angry and anxious, but now that Wang Hengyue had a strong army and a great reputation in Sichuan, he was also reasonable. If something happened, he was afraid that he would be the one to suffer.
At that time, the people of Sichuan will inevitably be stigmatized as "Before the revolution is accomplished, the righteous hero should be punished first." It will be difficult to say whether this newly appointed governor can securely hold his position.
Furthermore, although the Shu military government in Chongqing has been withdrawn, many of them are dissatisfied with themselves and are watching eagerly, waiting for them to make mistakes. Xiong Kewu, the commander of the Fifth Division in Chongqing, is Wang Hengyue's brother. If something really happens, I'm afraid that something will happen.
Chaos has once again emerged in Sichuan, which has given Chongqing a great opportunity.
After thinking about it, I am not sure about moving Wang Hengyue now, so I can only swallow this breath for the time being.
However, except for Wang Hengyue, other aspects are still quite beneficial to Yin Changheng.
On March 10, 1912, President Yuan Shikai announced his inauguration in Beijing.
When he learned the news in Chongqing in the Xia Dynasty, he believed that the situation of China's unification was finally settled, and a corner of eastern Sichuan had been pacified.
In mid-March, he proposed to Zhang Peijue that he should resign from his post as chief of Chongqing Town Fufu and study abroad.
Yin Changheng and Zhang Peijue accepted Xia Zhishi's resignation, and appointed Hu Jingyi, commander of the Sichuan Army Corps, as the governor-general of Chongqing Town. They gave Xia Zhishi 30,000 taels of silver to support his study tour. Immediately, Xia Zhishi resigned, and Hu Jingyi did not take up his post.
Temporarily replaced before.
Hu Jingyi was a member of Yuan Shikai and was very ambitious. People in the Chongqing Tongmenghui had long been wary of him. At that time, Yang Shukan was serving in the Nanjing Provisional Government. He was very disturbed when he learned about the news that Hu Jingyi was replacing Xia. He immediately called Yin Changheng and recommended Huang Fusheng.
, opposed Hu Jingyi. However, Yin and Hu had already colluded with Yang Dian and ignored Yang Dian. Instead, he ordered Hu Jingyi to travel to Chongqing at night and assigned the machine gun battalion to Hu's command in order to take over Chongqing by force.
Xia Zhishi saw that Hu Jingyi's arrival was not a good one, so he hurriedly appointed Xiong Kewu, a communist, as the division commander of Chongqing Zhenfufu. This division of Chongqing Zhenfufu was a force directly under the command of the commander-in-chief. Xia Zhishi and others wanted to use Xiong Kewu as his commander.
To restrain Hu Jingyi. This action clearly expressed the attitude of the Chongqing Tongmenghui people that they did not welcome Hu Jingyi to come to Chongqing.
After Zhang Peijue arrived in Chengdu, he took it as his own duty to quell the chaos in Sichuan and stabilize the overall situation. Now that Chongqing has announced that Xiong Kewu is the division commander, he is resisting Hu Jingyi and Changyu, and he is afraid of another rebellion. In addition, he is surrounded by Yin, Hu and others, so he tries to use Chongqing's
To compromise to ease the conflict between Cheng and Chongqing, he, Dong Hongci, and Maoxin jointly called Xia Zhishi, Huang Sufang, Xiong Kewu and others who were members of the alliance in Chongqing, asking them to accept Hu Jingyi as the chief of the Chongqing Town Fufu.
Thanks to Zhang Peijue's intervention, Hu Jingyi was able to arrive in Chongqing smoothly on April 11. On the 12th, he issued a telegram regarding the appointment of the chief minister of Chongqing Zhenfufu.
Hu Jingyi's good will never come. The compromises and concessions of the Chongqing Tongmenghui people could not eliminate his ambition to seize power. Instead, they prompted him to abolish the Chongqing governor's office as soon as possible and seize Sichuan's military and political power. Only one month after he took office, on May 18
, convened a meeting of the officers of the standard battalion of the Zhenfufu, representatives of various corporate groups, and newspaper reporters, and suddenly proposed the cancellation of the Chongqing Zhenfufu.
Since the Chongqing Zhenfufu was established just over a month ago, Hu Jingyi made a sudden attack and proposed to cancel the meeting. The representatives at the meeting were unprepared and had a surly attitude. Even after Xie Chi finished speaking, no one spoke for a few minutes.
On June 10, 1912, Hu Jingyi reported to Yuan Shikai and ordered the whole country to cancel the Chongqing Zhenfufu on that day.
Yin Changheng, through various means, finally became the first "unifier" of Sichuan!@.
