The arrival of the Dingguo Army Guard Division means that the Battle of Yunnan has come to an end!
Even if he didn't know what the fighting situation was like outside, judging from the sound of gunfire, Tang Jiyao probably knew what was going to happen.
However, he did not panic. Instead, he sat there calmly and played a film on the gramophone to listen to it.
Now that things have reached this point, no matter how urgent it is, nothing can be done by being anxious. It is better to simply relax and wait quietly.
Long Yun, the captain of the guard, walked in and glanced at the warlord: "Warlord, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived."
Jiyao simply said "oh".
"Overseer, are you ready to leave? "Leave? Can you leave now?" Tang Jiyao had no intention of moving.
"However, I am afraid that the warlord will be harmed."
Tang Jiyao laughed: "You don't understand Wang Hengyue very well. He would make me go to the countryside, and then drive me to Shanghai and Hong Kong. He would also be "kind and righteous" and let me take away everything that belongs to me. But he
He just won't kill me. Why? He is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, he is the master of benevolence and righteousness, he wants to win a good reputation that everyone agrees with!"
Speaking of this, Tang Jiyao's smile became more and more sarcastic: "He can do anything, but he won't kill me. Go to the wild, let's go, leave here, and never come back again. This is his Wang Hengyue's territory, and his constant
The cool thing is that he is not only the King of Sichuan, he is also the King of Southwest!"
Although he was still smiling there, Long Yun heard too much helplessness from this laughter. The three southwest provinces would soon fall into the hands of Wang Hengyue, the king of Sichuan? the king of southwest!
Tang Jiyao stood up: "Long Yun, look at it. Taking over the three southwest provinces is just his first step. He used Lu Rongting to attack us, consume our strength, and take advantage of the Guangdong and Guangdong armies to fight Beiyang.
, and immediately sent troops to seize Yunnan. Does he, Lu Rongting, really think that Wang Hengyue will not take action against Guangdong and Guangxi after he captures Yunnan? It’s ridiculous that Wang Hengyue will take action against Guangdong and Guangxi in a short time, and Lu Rongting’s results are not much better than mine!"
After sneering a few times and laughing bitterly, Tang Jiyao's voice was infinitely sad: "At that time, it will be either in Shanghai or Hong Kong, with me and Lu Rongting, two old guys sitting in a dilapidated small house, drinking.
After a pot of wine, what else can the two arrogant old guys do except spend the rest of their lives like this? Lu Biting asked me, "Old guy, why were you defeated so quickly by Wang Hengyue in Yunnan?"
Ah, tell him, "You are not an old guy. You attacked me in Yunnan first, but Wang Hengyue took advantage of you?" So we two old guys were not convinced by each other, and you argued with me every word.
But at that time, Wang Hengyue was sitting on the throne of the Southwest King, no, maybe the President, laughing at us two idiots!"
"Governor" Long Yun hesitated: "You said Wang Hengyue still wants to be the president?"
"Of course I think this man's ambition is so big." Tang Jiyao sighed: "He has endured for so many years from a small team officer, and then sat in the position of the Southwest King. Who else can stop him? Sun Wen
?He has no army! Duan Qirui? He only cares about fighting for power with those veteran generals in Beiyang. Wang Hengyue is like a wolf, eating all the prey one bite at a time!"
Long Yun fell silent.
"The military governor Ding Guojun has entered the city!" Zhao Youxin rushed in hurriedly.
"I know, just come in." Tang Jiyao was not surprised at all: "Fengjie, how is the situation of our troops?"
"It's very difficult. The troops outside have been held back. The Dingguo Army came up first, with about two regiments, and just now new troops came up for reinforcements!"
Tang Jiyao nodded: "Then stop fighting and ask the brothers to give up their weapons.
"What?" Long Yun and Zhao Youxin called out at once.
Zhao Youxin was a little anxious: "General Governor, we still have two divisions in our hands. We can continue to resist. As long as I, Zhao Youxin, are here, I will never let the Dingguo army endanger me in Kunming!"
"Forget it, forget it." Tang Jiyao seemed a little frustrated: "So what if we can defend it today? What if we can hold it today? Wang Hengyue has plenty of troops. If two divisions are not enough, he can mobilize four or eight divisions."
Master, come up. If you can't fight today, he won't fight again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
"but"
"Stop talking." Tang Jiyao interrupted his subordinates: "Since failure is unavoidable, then admit defeat. If Wang Hengyue wants Yunnan, I will give it to him. Why do so many more people die? It's better to accumulate some virtue and let it go.
We will find a good family in our next life."
Zhao Youxin was silent.
The warlord was completely desperate.
In fact, what the military governor said is right. Even if we can resist today, what's the use? The Dingguo army will continue to put troops into the battlefield.
The gunshots suddenly stopped in Kunming City!
On October 17, 1917, Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, was telegraphed out of the field.
On the same day, Liu Zhaocheng's troops from the 7th Brigade of the Dingguo Army took over Kunming.
Like the Battle of Guizhou, the Battle of Yunnan also ended in a quick decision.
In the Battle of Dianjin, the Dingguo army fought with one word: Hurry!
Taking advantage of the main force of the Guangxi Army and the Guangdong Army being attracted to the battlefield in Hunan, Dian Jin was eliminated in one fell swoop, making him unable to react at all. Then Wang Hengyue could logically become: King of the Southwest!
In the southwest, three provinces are already controlled by Wang Hengyue!
Although Tang Jiyao resigned, he also received the treatment he deserved. Just as he had judged before, Wang Hengyue would not kill him.
Killing a fallen warlord will not bring you a good reputation!
Like Liu Xianshi before him, Tang Jiyao was allowed to take away everything he wanted to take away, even properties that could not be taken away at the moment, etc., either stay in Kunming, or sell them as he wished and deposit them in a bank designated by him.
Some of his subordinates wanted to go with Tang Jiyao, but Tang Jiyao stopped them. Tang Jiyao told them that they would have a better future by staying here and following Wang Hengyue than following himself.
Only Zhao Youxin insisted that he no longer wanted to wear this military uniform and insisted on leaving with Tang Jiyao, so Tang Jiyao let him go.
On the way out, Tang Jiyao saw Liu Zhaocheng, the young and heroic brigade commander of the Dingguo Army. Liu Zhaocheng saluted him: "According to the order of Jiang Baili, the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army of the Dingguo Army, our brigade has specially assigned a squad of soldiers to serve as Mr. Tang's bodyguard."
, may I ask where Mr. Tang is going?" Tang Jiyao was a little uncomfortable with going from "Tang Governor" to "Mr. Tang". He was startled for a moment, and then realized that he was addressing himself: "I plan to go to Guangdong via Guangxi.
Then go to Hong Kong." "Guangdong is in chaos. What Heng Shuai wants is to ask Mr. Tang to go to Shanghai first, and then arrange a ship to send Mr. Tang to the United States, which is the most suitable place for Mr. Tang to live."
Tang Jiyao smiled sarcastically again.
Wang Hengyue is forcing himself to leave Guoran! Well, in this case, he has satisfied Wang Hengyue's wishes.
"Go tell you Hengshuai." Tang Jiyao pointed at Liu Zhaocheng: "I will go to the United States and never come back."
"Thank you, sir."
After Liu Zhaocheng finished speaking, he stepped aside, and Tang Jiyao saw Zhang Nanhe, who was mining in Yunnan, appearing in front of him.
"Mr. Tang, thank you for taking care of us in Yunnan." Zhang Nanhe said politely.
Tang Jiyao laughed: "Are you also from Wang Hengyue?"
"Yes, I was sent by Hengshuai." Zhang Nanhe said politely, and then asked someone to bring a suitcase: "Mr. Tang, here is the personal gratitude to you from Dahongshan Copper Mine next year, a total of
A banknote of 100,000 yuan. In addition, I also have a check for 10,000 US dollars, issued by HSBC Bank. Please accept it, Mr. Tang!"
"What does it mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything. Mr. Tang just said that he has gone to the United States and will never come back. My Hengshuai thinks that Mr. Tang has always been generous. If you stay in the United States for a lifetime, you will always have expenses. So this is not respectful. Mr. Tang
We will soon calculate the property in Yunnan and send it to you." "For a lifetime, for a lifetime." Tang Jiyao muttered these words, turned back to Zhao Youxin and said with a smile: "Let's go, we will never stay here again.
Can’t come back.”
Tang Jiyao also left.
The once arrogant King of Yunnan left Zi here forever. "Heng Shuai, Yunnan has been decided."
"Oh, where is Tang Jiyao?"
"He left, with Zhao Youxin." "What a pity, I still want to see him." Wang Hengyue raised his body and asked strangely: "Huaizhao, why can't I keep my huā for a long time?"
I have said before, Hengshuai is not a person who grows flowers and fishes." "I won't raise them anymore. I will never raise them again." Wang Hengyue threw away the shovel in his hand and washed his hands: "Tell the soldiers in front to treat Yunnan well.
Soldiers who lay down their weapons and are willing to continue to eat will be reorganized according to the establishment and treatment of the Dingguo Army. Those who are unwilling will be given severance pay. Don't be stingy. The same is true for Jinjun."
"Yes, I've already given the order."
Wang Hengyue wiped his hands: "Also, the civil affairs work in Yunnan must be grasped as soon as possible. The problem of Yunnan is very complicated and involves too many things. If we are not careful, we will be attacked by a group. We must be cautious and cautious. Yunnan
, we only have Guizhou, if it is stable, that is the most important thing." "Yes, I will give orders." Wang Qinglu paused: "The Great Southwest Plan has been completed, Hengshuai, now only the land of Guangdong and Guangxi is left.
Now, you can put all your energy into this." "Take your time, take your time. The Guangdong and Guangxi are too responsible for the problem. If there is a slight mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
In October 1917, taking advantage of the fierce battle between the Guangxi and Guangdong armies and the Beiyang army in Hunan, Wang Hengyue sent out a large number of troops and launched a series of Guizhou campaigns. After the Yunnan campaign, he finally ascended to the throne that countless people dream of: King of the Southwest!!.
