On December 25, 1915, Yunnan received electricity and Fubu became independent. Tang Jiyao was elected as the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan military government. Three armies of the National Defense Army were formed to attack Yuan from the three directions of Xiangxi and Guangxi. Cai Zhen was the first.
The commander-in-chief of the army led four echelon regiments of 8,000 people into Sichuan!
Yuan Shikai and Chen Huan simultaneously ordered Wang Hengyue, the garrison envoy in southern Sichuan, to lead the main force of the independent mixed division to prevent the National Defense Army from entering." Wang Hengyue ignored it.
At this time, Wang Hengyue didn't even bother to pretend to be sick!
Immediately, Chen Huan ordered Wang Hengyue to be removed from various positions such as "Guardian Envoy of Southern Sichuan" and "Commander of the Independent Mixed Division" on the charge of "clearing too many troops", and replaced him with Wu Xiangzhen, the envoy of Chongqing.
"Okay, very good!" Wang Hengyue laughed when he received the news.
"Hengshuai, will you declare independence in advance?"
"No, not yet!" Wang Hengyue shook his head: "Call Chen Huan, I accept the decision to be dismissed, retire and return home, I just want to be a farmer!"
All the troops laughed when they heard that Heng Shuai was going to "retire from old age and return home" at such a young age.
"Heng Shuai, what should Wu Xiangzhen do?"
"How to deal with it?" Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "Isn't Hua now the governor of southern Sichuan? He can deal with it as he likes! Now that I have no official position and a light body, I can't restrain my subordinates anymore!"
On the 27th, Wang Hengyue accepted the government order by phone and resigned from the post of Z:Nanzhen envoy and commander of the independent mixed division. The whole Sichuan was in an uproar!
"Although Heng Yue has a false reputation as a revolutionary hero, the country has regressed, and it is painful that Heng Yue has been removed from his post. Although Heng Yue is worried about social changes and national chaos, there is nothing he can do about it."
Wang Hengyue is out of office! Wang Hengyue has been removed from office!
Southern Sichuan is shaking, Sichuan is shaking!
Wang Hengyue is a hero of the revolution, a hero of suppressing rebellions, and a hero of disaster relief. He has too many names. He is almost a figure shrouded in a "hero" halo.
But such a hero was dismissed from his post?
Everyone in southern Sichuan was dissatisfied with Wang Hengyue, and everyone coming and going at the gate of the envoy's office wanted to pay homage to Wang Hengyue and expressed his dissatisfaction with the envoy.
However, the envoy Wang Zhen was "Qi disease" again
"Concubine Hengyue is sick again?" When receiving the news, Cai Zhen couldn't help laughing: "The last time I got sick, I went to Beijing, and he stayed in Sichuan and was at ease. Later, he got sick again and again. This is the first time.
OK? Well, he is recovering from his illness!"
I thought about it for a while, picked up a pen, wrote a letter, and sealed it carefully: "Here, send it to Wang Hengyue!"
Wang Hengyue's willingness to accept the dismissal was beyond Chen Huan's expectations. But before Chen Huan and others could celebrate, they finally knew why Wang Hengyue quit his job so readily!
The official is gone, but the army is still firmly in the hands of Wang Hengyue!
All the troops in the territories controlled by Wang Hengyue in Meishan, Neijiang, Yibin, and Ya'an refused to accept Wang Hengyue's resignation! Not only did they refuse, but Yang Sen even shouted, "We only recognize the envoy Wang, not the emperor!"
Machine guns and cannons have been set up, and they are all watching, and a war will break out at any time!
Chen Huan's wishful thinking was originally very good. He divided his troops into four directions to first occupy Neijiang and Luzhou, then divided four directions to capture Yibin, then defeated Zigong, captured Leshan, and then fought a decisive battle with the National Guard Army. Jier entered Yunnan and Ding.
Set the situation!
But now looking at the posture on the other side, does Wang Hengyue seem to want to give up his territory?
There was also news that Wang Hengyue had formed the National Socialist Party. After the middle- and lower-ranking young officers who joined the National Socialist Party learned that the Guardian Envoy had been dismissed, everyone was furious and wanted to organize military remonstrances to support the Guardian Envoy in power again and form a
The military government uses force to protect the country and fight against Yuan!
Things are in trouble, things are really in trouble!
At this time, Wang Hengyue was in his garrison office and showed Jiang Li the autographed letter written by Cai Xun.
"It's just as we expected!" After reading it, Jiang Li said with a smile: "Cai Zhen is really going to ask us for help!"
"The chief of staff knows Cai Songpo best, and Cai Songpo also knows me well." Wang Hengyue sighed: "He is sincerely serving the country and has no selfish intentions. This is twice as good as mine."
I thought for a moment and said, "Borrow me! Order my officers and soldiers everywhere to move out of the way when the national defense army comes and let them pass. But you must be on guard against others. You must monitor closely!"
Then he turned to Jiang Li and said: "Chief of Staff, you are familiar with Cai Songpo. Please act as a liaison officer between our army and them."
"OK."
Wang Hengyue suddenly remembered something again: "By the way, if you see Cai Songpo, you must ask him to take care of his health. He is too tired these years." Jiang Li did not understand what this meant.
"Look at you, now that you are no longer a guard officer, why are you even busier than when you were an official?"
Seeing her husband who hadn't come back for a few days, Ma Yunxin was slightly reproachful: "Yesterday, a large group of young officers sat silently at the door for a whole day. I asked them not to come in. They said they were protesting and asked you to lead them to protect the country...
"What nonsense." Wang Hengyue smiled: "I am an ordinary person, how can I lead them to protect the country and fight against Yuan Na?"
Ma Yunxin shook her head: "I don't know if you are really no longer an official or if you are pretending to be no longer an official. You said you were no longer an official, but you were dismissed. You said you were no longer an official, and you stayed in the garrison office all day long.
By the way, Margaret has been waiting for you for a long time and asked for an interview with you."
"Ah" Wang Hengyue scratched his head: "By the way, Yunxin, the newspaper continues to be called "Rongxian Daily", which is inappropriate. From now on, it will be called "Sichuan Daily". I will give you an article later, and you can put it on the front page."
"Tolerate"
Now Margaret is said to be a special reporter for some newspaper in Europe. She doesn't do anything else and just stays in southern Sichuan, hanging around Wang Hengyue.
She has a unique advantage. As long as she catches Wang Hengyue, she can always dig out something she needs from his mouth.
Wang Hengyue really had a headache when he saw her, but she lived in his own home, where could he hide?
"Mr. Former Guardian Envoy." When she saw Wang Hengyue, Margaret was so serious that she even changed her title: "I am Margaret, a reporter from European Times. How do you feel about being dismissed from your post?"
"
"Ah, call it European Times." Wang Hengyue also sat upright: "This is an order from the government, I can only accept it."
Margaret immediately asked: "You are strongly opposed to Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor, so you have been treated unfairly. This can also be fully reflected in your subordinates. Could you please go back to General Cai Wei of Yunnan?"
, like General Tang Jiyao, organized to protect the country and fight against Yuan Jun?"
This issue seemed a bit sensitive. Wang Hengyue thought carefully about the article he was going to write for the "Sichuan Daily", and then said: "The emperor system has ended in [China], although there are still many people who are obsessed with it, such as Yuan Shikai among them
One. He sat in an inappropriate position at an inappropriate time, which made all his previous efforts in vain. At the same time, we can be very sure that he sat in this position for a long time.
It won't last long.
As for whether I will protect the country and fight against Yuan?
Miss reporter, I am a person who has lost my position. There is an old saying in China that a name cannot be justified and words cannot be justified. What can I do to protect the country?"
"But" Margaret thought for a moment: "Your subordinates still love and support you infinitely. They hope to see you come back to power, and the sooner this happens, the better."
Wang Hengyue looked to the side, and Rong Hanyan, who was acting as a turner, quickly turned over the turners and took notes there. Wang Hengyue smiled: "Margaret, you have learned a lot of Chinese."
, when will you ask yourself?
He said with a straight face: "As for this issue, I have thought about it for a long time. I may not be an official, but what about my subordinates? What about my army? Where will they go without restraint? Although I am not in the position
Yes, but I don’t want to see the war happen, if it is really necessary.”
Wang Hengyue paused for a moment, and then said the key point: "If one person has to lead them and protect the country and protect the law, I think I will be duty-bound! Now the National Defense Army commanded by General Cai Wei has entered the fourth phase." Personally
I have infinite respect for General Cai Xun and hope that his war to protect the country will be successful. If he needs my help, I will definitely do my best! "So, the army is still firmly in your hands?
"Rong Hanyan stopped recording and asked.
Wang Hengyue smiled and did not answer.
"If one day you come out of retirement, have you ever thought about gaining greater rights?"
Rong Hanyan's question made Wang Hengyue startled for a moment: "My purpose is to protect the people from living and working in peace and contentment, so that the impact of war will limit their rights and become more of an obligation!"
"Rights are more about obligations." Rong Hanyan and Margaret read this sentence together.
Wang Hengyue did not wait for them to continue asking, and said: "You can write like this. Wang Hengyue called on Yuan Shikai to abdicate and restore the republican system. No matter whether such a system is suitable for [China], Wang Hengyue also called on the Sichuan army to lay down their weapons and avoid complicit. At the same time, if the war
body, then there is one person who must be responsible for this, Chen Huan!
He must go out!"
The two women looked up at Wang Hengyue together.
Wang Hengyue said calmly: "Beiyang forces must withdraw from April 1. Sichuan must gain peace. If peace can only be achieved by force, then I fully believe that all conscientious soldiers will choose which side they stand on!"
This is a declaration from Wang Hengyue.
He is not afraid of anything now, and he can’t even wait for new challenges to come!!.
