The north wanted to fight and make peace at one time, but Wang Hengyue was doing it vigorously in the south! op
The forced landing in Qiongzhou left Long Jiguang stunned.
The National Revolutionary Army, which had consolidated its beachhead position, began to steadily implement its own combat plan.
Troops were dispatched in two directions, advancing steadily, and the resistance they encountered was almost completely negligible. Long Jiguang's army retreated in large strides, assuming a posture of decisive battle in Haikou.
The only troublesome thing was the harassment from the local indigenous people. Although this harassment did not cause any losses to the National Revolutionary Army, it still slowed down the progress of the various units.
Wang Hengyue and his men were not impatient.
From the beginning, Wang Hengyue made it very clear to the Japanese officers that in the Battle of Qiongzhou, the war was secondary, and the Japanese would not encounter any strong challenges. How to make Qiongzhou after the main force of the Japanese army left?
The most important thing is that there will be no recurrence.
The attack of the two divisions advanced very patiently. Every time they arrived at a place, they would first try their best to appease and stabilize the place. They generally did not pursue the captured locals who had participated in the attack. This made people panic at first.
**The locals who adopted a hostile attitude gradually changed their attitude.
Except Nasu, the local Li ethnic group’s great cave master!
"Nasu? Who is he?" Wang Hengyue asked casually.
"This man is the largest local cave owner and chieftain. He lives in the Chengmai area. His sphere of influence is almost all nearby. When Long Jiguang came to Qiongzhou, he was the first to visit him and gave him a large amount of money.
After receiving the support of Nasu, Long Jiguang established a firm foothold in Qiongzhou with weapons and supplies." Wang Hengyue held a Li folklore story "Wuzhishan Daxian" in his hand and then flipped through it: "The attack on us caused
Are there any casualties?" "Two soldiers were injured. We also killed four of the other party and captured about ten." Wang Hengyue looked at the story in his hand and actually laughed: "Don't tell me, this story about the Li people is really true.
Yes, it looks good, Bao'er, take it and have a look." He handed it to Ye Bao'er who was beside him, and took a step forward: "Get Chengmai down for me, try to avoid casualties on both sides, and divide Nasu's troops.
For two, we rushed all the way to the mountain pass and all the way to Fushan, forcing him to come to me!"
"Yes!" "Report, Long Jiguang's strategist Gui Guangtang asked to see the generalissimo!"
"Oh, finally here?" As if he knew this person would come for a long time, Wang Hengyue smiled and sat down: "Please."
Gui Guangtang walked in cautiously, and when he saw Wang Hengyue, he stood at attention: "Gui Guangtang has seen the generalissimo!" "Surrender is coming?" Wang Hengyue asked unhurriedly.
Gui Guangtang was startled for a moment: "Surrender? No, I came to negotiate with the Generalissimo on the order of Governor Long." "Negotiation? What kind of negotiation are you talking about?" Wang Hengyue smiled lightly: "Tell me, what are the conditions and requirements?"
Gui Guangtang quickly stated everything he had discussed before.
Wang Hengyue didn't know if he was listening carefully. When Gui Guangtang finished speaking, he waved his hand: "I understand, you can go back first."
His attitude puzzled Gui Guangtang, and he hesitated for a moment: "Does the Generalissimo mean to agree?"
"Promise?" Wang Hengyue said with a slight smile: "Chief of Staff Gui, Long Jiguang's governor has been dismissed long ago, don't call him that again in the future..."
Gui Guangtang smiled awkwardly, and Wang Hengyue continued: "Now that Long Jiguang has become a turtle in the urn, I can conquer his lair. What qualifications does he have to negotiate with me? Well, let me make a few demands and
Conditions. Long Jiguang immediately ordered all troops to lay down their weapons and surrender to our government. He does not need to express his position whether he supports the military government or not. I can allow him to leave a platoon of personal guards and weapons. As for what he wants to do later
I can't control where you are going. As for the property of Chief of Staff Gui, go back and tell Long Jiguang that his tens of millions of properties are the hard-earned money of Guangdong and Guangxi. Leave it here and he can't take it away." Gui Guangtang
He swallowed quietly: "Generalissimo, this..." "This is the most preferential treatment I can give him!" Wang Hengyue interrupted him: "I don't want Qiongzhou to be damaged by war again, that's why
Long Jiguang was given such conditions.
All my main forces are divided into two groups and can occupy the entire Qiongzhou at any time. However, if there is a peaceful solution, I will try my best to solve it peacefully. Go back and tell Long Jiguang that I will reserve enough for him.
Money to live on, but don’t take away the money he plundered from Guangzhou. It’s easy to have nightmares with this money.”
When he spoke, his tone was very calm and not harsh at all. But every word that fell into Gui Guangtang's ears was like a needle pricking him.
In Gui Guangtang's view, Wang Hengyue did not take Long Jiguang's strength into consideration at all, and Qiongzhou was easily accessible. The only way Long Jiguang could choose was to surrender!
This is hard to accept.
Gui Guangtang wanted to make one last effort: "Generalissimo, do you really think you can capture Haikou?"
Wang Hengyue smiled: "What I care about is not whether Haikou can be captured, but how to manage it after it is captured. Chief of Staff Gui, I heard that you are very good at governing the place. Can you tell me what should be done?
"
Gui Guangtang was completely stunned. Wang Hengyue's words were so domineering. He didn't just take Long Jiguang seriously!
"Come, Chief of Staff Gui, sit down.
Wang Hengyue actually asked him to sit down: "I let you go just now, but I was reluctant to let you go. You are really overqualified to help Long Jiguang."
Gui Guangtang sat down awkwardly.
Wang Yiyue thought for a moment: "In fighting, you are not as good as me; in governing Qiongzhou, I am not as good as you.
I heard that after Long Jiguang arrived in Qiongzhou, you helped him establish a foothold in the shortest time and get the support of the local indigenous people. Tell me, how did you do it?"
"this……"
"Chief of Staff Gui, actually I don't need to say more. The situation in Qiongzhou is here. Whether Long Jiguang can hold it or not, you know better than I do. Once Long Jiguang goes out, do you continue to follow him like a lost dog? You have to do it.
Find your own way out. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places."
These words were spoken sincerely. Gui Guangtang sighed softly: "Generalissimo, when we first arrived in Qiongzhou, the dragons patrolled the dragon... Your Excellency..."
The title "Governor" was really difficult for Long Jiguang. After hesitating for a long time, Gui Guangtang called an "adult" out: "When I first arrived in Qiongzhou, I was constantly hostile and attacked by the natives. Later, I helped
He came up with an idea and called together the main local chieftains. In addition to promising to respect their customs and protect their safety, he also promised to teach them new agriculture, water conservancy, and medical technology. To sum it up, it was just one sentence.
"There are more people holding hoes, and there are fewer people holding guns." "There are more people holding hoes, and there are fewer people holding guns." Wang Hengyue murmured this sentence, and his eyes lit up.
This sentence hits the point.
"Where's Nasu? Is it as simple as just giving him weapons and supplies?" Wang Hengyue asked thoughtfully.
"In addition to weapons and supplies, we also agreed to hand over the Chengmai area to him for management." Gui Guangtang said, "This man's ambitions are actually very great, but he is just using us temporarily, and I decided to stabilize him first.
If the Generalissimo hadn't suddenly landed and disrupted my plan... or Nasu is gone now..."
Wang Hengyue quickly understood what he meant: "What if I leave Nasu to you to deal with?" Gui Guangtang didn't quite understand.
Wang Hengyue smiled: "What I mean is that after I drive Long Jiguang away, Qiongzhou needs someone to help me govern. I also said that you are not as good as me in fighting, and I am not as good as you in governing the place. I want to appoint you."
As the civil affairs officer of Qiongzhou, help me manage this place. What do you think?" "I will govern Qiongzhou!"
This unexpected appointment caught Gui Guangtang off guard.
Originally, judging from Wang Hengyue's resolute attitude, after he captured the entire Qiongzhou, it would be quite good for him to be able to save his own life, but he really didn't want to kill himself, and he wanted to appoint himself as the civil affairs official here?
The thoughts of this generalissimo are really hard to grasp.
"Conquering Qiongzhou is not a big deal, but managing this place well so that there will be no more rebellions in the future is truly remarkable." Wang Hengyue said very seriously: "In the melee at the military palace, if you beat me, I will
Hitting you will ultimately cause the greatest harm to this country. After reunification by force, the most important thing is to restore the order of the country. Talents like you are what I need urgently in the future. What I mean is that Long Jiguang must step down, he
All the troops must also surrender. I will capture Nasu and give it to you to help you lay a good foundation for governing Qiongzhou. After that, I will not intervene in whatever you do in Qiongzhou." Being so valued by others, Gui Guangtang's
There was a thrill in his heart: "Generalissimo, you, you really trust me so much, are you not afraid that I will repeat myself?" "Yes, I must trust you." Wang Hengyue said calmly: "It would be a pity to kill such a talented person.
, Don’t have too many worries. From a national perspective, if you switch from Long Jiguang to me, you are not a traitor, but if you have to annihilate your own talents, then what is it? Chief of Staff Gui
, think carefully about my words." Gui Guangtang's mouth trembled, and he said after a long while: "Generalissimo, please spare Master Long's life."
"If you don't kill him, I won't kill him." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "I didn't kill Liu Xianshi, I didn't kill Lu Rongting, and I will let Long Jiguang go. He can go to Hong Kong, to Shanghai, wherever he wants to go.
Can."
Gui Guangtang stood up: "I will go back right now and persuade Long Jiguang to put down his weapons and stop resisting!"!
