"Brother Yunji, if you are determined to defend the border, that would be great, but the high and cold land of Tibet is very difficult, the upper class nobles are also cruel, and the British are instigating them, so the situation is not safe!"
Yu Peilun smiled and shook his head: "I have died once, so what should I be afraid of? I really can't stand the filth of the Central Plains. This little brother's name is Luo Ying, and he is Song Jiaoren's guard. He
He is from Hongmen overseas. Duchu asked him to come to Sichuan with me to join you, and you can arrange a position for him!"
Song Jiaoren's bodyguard! Qiao Yu looked at this young man carefully and saw that he had a strong figure, bright eyes, and thick finger joints. He seemed to be a good hand, but Qiao Yu's mind was not on the young man in front of him.
On the body.
"Brother Yun Ji, is Song Duchu going to be an orphan?" Yu Peilun only thought that Song Jiaoren wanted to find a family background for his guard and didn't think much about it. But when he heard Qiao Yu ask this, he was immediately stunned.
"Shunqing, what do you mean?"
"Alas, in fact, the road to constitutional government has become more and more bleak after Tao Chengzhang's death. But Brother Duchu still insists on his ideal. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed, and he may even follow in Tao Chengzhang's footsteps!" Qiao Yu sighed: "Now the North and the South are divided.
, including the major powers, are not willing to see China truly prosper, and frequently do evil things behind their backs. I like Mr. Song’s talent. If he can come to Sichuan, I am afraid that Sichuan will be able to usher in a great development!
"
Yu Peilun also understood the meaning of entrusting an orphan in his heart, and Song Jiaoren also saw the difficulty of realizing constitutional government. Tao Chengzhang was already dead in front of him. If he persisted, he would probably shed his blood. Luo Ying was originally entrusted by overseas Chinese.
Although he was given to Song Jiaoren as a bodyguard in name, his identity was not simple, so he sent his bodyguard to Sichuan. Song Jiaoren was going to risk his life!
Luo Ying, who had been silent at the side, was also moved at this time. It turned out that Song Jiaoren had such considerations in sending him to Sichuan. He just wanted to put loyalty first, and he must not forget Song Jiaoren's kindness.
"Du Chu is really a brave and courageous person, but it's a pity that I can't help him much!" Yu Peilun sighed and looked at Qiao Yu.
"You don't have to look at me. I can't help myself. But don't worry, I will try my best to arrange manpower to protect Song Duchu!" Qiao Yu turned around: "Luo Ying, since you have learned kung fu, I will let you go.
The special forces team undergoes training for a period of time, works hard, and strives to become excellent warriors!"
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely train hard. I just have one more thing to ask, sir. Mr. Song treats me with great kindness. I hope you can allow me to protect Mr. Song in the future!"
Qiao Yu gave Yu Peilun the identity of Sichuan-Tibet Civil Affairs Commissioner, and entered the Tibetan area in a very low-key manner. His main mission was to investigate the situation of the serfdom system, obtain first-hand information, and eliminate this cancer in one fell swoop when the time came.
, Luo Ying was also sent to the special forces team and handed over to Wu Fenglou for personal training.
After making these arrangements, Qiao Yu was ready to go to southern Sichuan to inspect the flood control situation. The road was arduous and it was difficult to start a business. It was easy to conquer a country but difficult to defend it. It was even more difficult to develop this territory. Yuan Shikai had the same sentiment.
, he had already received a telegram from Qiao Yu. Sichuan sent 1.8 million taels of silver to the central government. Although there was still some difference, the money came in time.
The Tao case caused chaos in the south. Although Song Jiaoren handled it impartially and the suspicion on Lao Yuan was cleared a lot, Yuan Shikai still had to bear considerable criticism. The governors in the south became more and more cynical, and each province withheld taxes one after another.
, even to remote provinces like Yunnan and Guizhou, not even a penny is paid. Now that Qiao Yu has paid the tax, it will benefit Lao Yuan in many ways...
The most direct thing is that money will be more abundant, and other provinces will also send money as soon as possible under the influence of Sichuan. In addition, Qiao Yu himself promoted the cooperation with the Liberation Association, and the United Party was able to establish Sichuan because of his great efforts. In other words, Qiao Yu and
Tao Chengzhang is an ally. When Qiao Yu pays the money, he is undoubtedly supporting Lao Yuan. In disguise, he washes away the slander against Lao Yuan. This favor is not a big one.
Lao Yuan is not a fool. Why would he give you such a big benefit? He must have some agenda. Lao Yuan picked up the telegram again and looked at it carefully. At the end, Qiao Yu said that Chen Huan worked hard and should be commended!
What does it mean to be rewarded? Lao Yuan immediately understood that Qiao Yu asked him to transfer Chen Huan away. Lao Yuan could not help but think about it. There was nothing wrong in sending Chen Huan to Sichuan, but he still underestimated Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu's power in Sichuan is already monolithic. Chen Huan can't open up the situation at all. However, if he wants to transfer Chen Huan back, it will be difficult for him to send more people. Sichuan has completely become Qiao Yu's territory, as if he is independent.
Kingdom. This is not something Lao Yuan can tolerate.
After much consideration, Lao Yuan called Yang Du over again. After all, Yang Du had been to Sichuan and knew Qiao Yu quite well. He might be able to provide him with some good suggestions.
"Xizi, how do you think this matter in Sichuan should be handled?"
Yang Du pondered for a while: "President, Sichuan is a land of abundance and is extremely rich. Coupled with Qiao Yu's hard work in governing, I am afraid that in a few years it will become a force that can compete with the central government. We have to guard against it, but the main focus now should be on
In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Beiyang Army must enter Nanjing and take this territory in their hands. Now the world is like the Three Kingdoms era. Qiao Yu occupied Sichuan, which is comparable to Liu Bei. The Revolutionary Party's occupation of Jiangnan is comparable to Sun Quan. The president is in the north, which is well deserved.
Cao Wei, now that the revolutionary party is divided, it is a perfect opportunity for the president to occupy Jiangnan. As long as he can have the power of Wu and Wei, are he still afraid of a mere Uncle Liu?"
Yuan Shikai couldn't help thinking. What Yang Du said made sense. The most terrifying thing now is that Sichuan and the revolutionary party forces have united to deal with him. Fortunately, there are many conflicts between them and they cannot form a Wu-Shu alliance at all.
, thinking of this, Lao Yuan had a thought in his mind.
"Xizi, I am going to transfer Chen Huan to be the governor of Shanghai and replace Chen Qimei!"
Yang Du nodded repeatedly: "Chen Qimei is the person Sun Wen relies on the most. He is arrogant, domineering and bold. He has deep connections with the Qinggang and has great influence. If he can be taken down, Sun Wen can break an arm. Moreover, he also has
Being involved in Tao's case, it's time to bring him to justice. Everything is justifiable. I think this arrangement is very appropriate!"
Yuan Shikai gradually made a plan, but Yang Du seemed to have something to say.
"Is there anything else that Xizi can do?"
"President, now that the central government is in financial difficulties, borrowing alone is not an option. I think the president should quickly reform politics and increase revenue. Otherwise, it will be a problem to even maintain the operation of the government, let alone reduce the vassal state!"
Lao Yuan sighed, "What Xizi said is not what I think. It's just that the world is in chaos and there are many constraints. It's like a mess and there's no way to start!"
"President, since ancient times, reforms have required great courage. I think the breakthrough point might as well be the salt policy. Now Sichuan's salt policy has been successfully reformed, the salt price has been reduced, and the salt tax has been increased. This is exactly the benefit.
Once the good deeds that benefit the country and the people are successful, they can also greatly enhance the prestige of the president!" At this point, Yang Du glanced at Lao Yuan again and saw that he listened very seriously. Yang Du continued: "President
, Prestige and reputation are very important. For example, in this case of Tao, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was not the president who did it, but there are still many people who are willing to believe that it was the president. Please think twice about the reasons!"
