"Captain, Tang Jiyao is going to proclaim himself king. The Commander must not agree!"
Cai E held a telegram in his hand, which was sent by Tang Jiyao. It introduced the situation of entering Guiyang, expressed his determination to fight the Sichuan army to avenge the past, and finally told the people of Guizhou to elect him as the governor of Guizhou.
, in the telegram, Tang Jiyao said that as a member of the Yunnan Army, he would always obey the command of Commander-in-Chief Cai E. Whether he should be the Commander-in-Chief of Guizhou depends entirely on Cai E's words. He also said that even if he became the Commander-in-Chief, he would never dare to fight with Cai E.
They keep pace with each other, but Cai E is the one who always takes the lead in everything.
Seeing this, Cai E still didn't understand that Tang Jiyao was finally ambitious and wanted to take charge of his own affairs. Although Tang Jiyao repeatedly stated in the message that he would absolutely obey Cai E's orders, it can be seen from Tang Jiyao's request for the title of Governor of Guizhou.
You will definitely not be willing to be subordinated to others. They are both governors with the same title, and each is in charge of a province. Why should I listen to you?
As a direct descendant of Cai E, Li Genyuan also saw this telegram. Li Gengen was filled with anger when he saw it. In terms of qualifications and prestige, he is not much better than you, Tang Jiyao. If you dare to snatch the title of governor, I, Old Li, cannot agree, so
Li Genyuan strongly advocated the removal of Tang Jiyao's military power, and even wanted to bring Tang Jiyao to justice.
"Mr. Qu Shi, there is still a Sichuan Army in Guizhou now. If we rashly replace Tang Jiyao, I am afraid that if the morale of the army is messed up, Guizhou will fall into the hands of the Sichuan Army. Besides, besides Tang Jiyao, there are no talents in the Yunnan Army who can take on their own responsibility.
There are not many, are there any suitable candidates?"
Li Gengen was immediately speechless. There were not many in the Yunnan army who were able to fight. However, except for Cai E and Tang Jiyao, the other talented ones were useless.
"Then the Governor can't just watch Tang Jiyao sit on an equal footing with you!"
Cai E gently twisted the telegram and crumpled it into a ball of paper: "Mr. Qu Shi, this Tang Jiyao is just like this piece of paper. He cannot escape from my hands. Now you give me an order. I will personally lead the troops to southern Sichuan."
Meet Governor Sichuan for a while!"
Cai E reorganized the armaments. At this time, Tang Jiyao also received Cai E's permission and immediately took office as the governor of Guizhou. At the same time, he appointed Ren Kecheng as the speaker of the parliament and the chief of civil affairs, and Liu Xianshi as the minister of military affairs. Tang Jiyao then issued a telegram in the name of the governor of Guizhou, asking the Sichuan army to quickly
Withdraw from Guizhou and not interfere in the internal affairs of Guizhou Province.
The army did not move, but public opinion took the lead. Cai E, the governor of Yunnan, immediately issued a telegram, condemning the Sichuan army for causing harm to Guizhou, demanding that the Sichuan army respect the choice of the Guizhou people, withdraw from Guizhou, and hand over Zhang Bailin and Yang Wicheng to the Guizhou military government for processing!
Qiao Yu got two power transfers and admired this ability to confuse right and wrong. Tang Jiyao entered Guizhou under the banner of the Yunnan Army, but turned around and condemned the Sichuan Army under the name of the Governor of Guizhou. Cai E also supported it so seriously.
It seems that history cannot be trusted with Tang Jiyao's actions. Every figure in this era has countless faces. Anyone who looks at them as facial makeup will definitely suffer a loss.
"Commander, it seems to me that the Yunnan Army has begun to split at this time. Tang Jiyao wants to stand on his own, but Cai E may not allow it. The fun is about to begin!" Zhu Qinglan was transferred back to Chengdu at this time.
Assisting Qiao Yu as military counselor, he saw that after Tang Jiyao got the governorship of Guizhou, he didn't feel much loss in his heart. The purpose of the Sichuan army's operations in Guizhou was not to seek political power in Guizhou, and it was not impossible for the Yunnan army to gain the upper hand.
Moreover, he saw the division of the Yunnan Army. Zhu Qinglan thought this was a good sign.
"It's not that simple. Cai E still has a very good vision. He is also supporting Tang Jiyao at this time. The relationship between the two has not broken down yet. And in my opinion, Tang Jiyao can't beat Cai E. However, I'm afraid this time the chaos in Guizhou
It needs to evolve and expand to the entire southwest!”….
When Zhu Qinglan heard Qiao Yu's words, he didn't think clearly at first. Then he looked at the map and then at the power supply in his hand.
"Commander, do you think Cai E will take the initiative to attack Sichuan?"
"If Cai E had not attacked Sichuan, how would he have gained the position to control Tang Jiyao? Cai E is a man with first-class vision and strong military skills. He is really a thorn in his side!"
Just when Qiao Yu was sighing, another piece of information came in. Cai E planned to form a Yunnan-Guizhou coalition army to jointly expel the Sichuan army. Cai E became the commander-in-chief and appointed Tang Jiyao as deputy commander-in-chief. Cai E personally led the army to march toward Sichuan and Yunnan.
Heading to the border!"
When Zhu Qinglan looked at this information, he and Qiao Yu guessed well. Cai E once again promoted Tang Jiyao to the position of deputy by expanding the scale of the war. No matter how he operated in Guizhou, he would inevitably be controlled by Cai E. It seemed that this man was worthy of being a third sergeant.
One of the heroes is really difficult to deal with.
However, Cai E's expansion of the scale of the war is not a good thing for the Yunnan Army. Yunnan's foundation is too weak: "Commander, can Yunnan's finances withstand such a large-scale war? Isn't Cai E afraid that Yunnan's economy will collapse?"
"Afraid, naturally, but now that Nanjing has agreed to Yuan Shikai's taking office in Beijing, China will soon complete its nominal reunification. If Cai E doesn't seize the opportunity to defeat Sichuan, he will have no chance, and his status as the hegemon of the southwest will not be lost.
On his head!"
What Zhu Qinglan admires most about Qiao Yu is that he always has the overall situation in mind. As a superior, as long as the general direction is good, there won't be any big problems. Therefore, Zhu Qinglan asked humbly: "What do the governor think we should do?"
How to deal with it?"
"Soldiers will block it, and water will cover it. If Cai E wants to play big, we have to cooperate! I immediately took the rest of the First Division directly to southern Sichuan to have a chance encounter with Cai E. The safety of Chengdu will be handed over to him.
Chief of Staff! It is inevitable that Lao Yuan will take over now. We must be wary of him in everything. Lao Yuan is different from Sun Dapao who has no power in his hands. Lao Yuan now has a strong army! Now we are gaining momentum. If we make a little move, it will be enough for us.
Bear it."
Zhu Qinglan nodded in agreement, Qiao Yu made some arrangements, and led the army straight to southern Sichuan. At this time, the Sichuan and Yunnan armies set up battle formations in Guizhou and southern Sichuan at the same time. After Tang Jiyao got his wish and became the governor of Guizhou, he personally led
The Yunnan-Guizhou Allied Forces marched towards northern Guizhou, hoping to expel the Sichuan Army from Guizhou. At this time, the Sichuan Army, led by Qiao Zhen and Wu Tong, had already felt Xiuwen.
Xiuwen is currently just an ordinary town in central Guizhou, with convenient transportation and developed agriculture. It is the gateway to the north of Guiyang. Of course, Xiuwen in later generations is famous for its bauxite and plays an important role in the aviation and military industries.
The huge value of bauxite has not yet been recognized in China, and there is no corresponding electrolysis furnace factory.
However, the town will soon become a battlefield between Sichuan and Yunnan, attracting the attention of all parties. Qiao Zhen and Wu Tong led the Sichuan army to occupy Xiuwei first. With the cooperation of the local autonomous society, they mobilized the people to
They quickly built fortifications and set up machine guns and cannons. Zhang Bailin also personally came forward to summon old troops and form a civilian army, hoping to regain the power of Guizhou through World War I.
Cai E was well versed in the principle of rapidity and the importance of troops. After reorganizing his army, he immediately moved towards southern Sichuan. At this time, the defenders in southern Sichuan were the Third Division of the Sichuan Army led by Wang Huai and Shi Yi. Originally, they were ordered to go out to contain the Yunnan Army.
We have received orders from Qiao Yu to set up the Southern Sichuan Guard Army Headquarters and personally serve as the commander-in-chief. We have appointed Wang Huai as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and unified command of all the armies in southern Sichuan to jointly deal with the invasion of the Yunnan Army. We have appointed Shi Yi as the chief of staff.
With the arrival of Qiao Yu, Sichuan and Yunnan faced each other, and the countdown to the second confrontation also entered.
