Tian Songyao faced Liu Cunhou, who was a little angry, but did not show any weakness, with a faint smile on his face: "Captain, I will introduce you to someone, and you will know everything!"
While he was talking, a middle-aged man walked into Liu Cunhou's guest room. He was about thirty years old and had a scholarly air. He came to the room and bowed his hands to Liu Cunhou: "Captain Liu, please report yourself first."
My name is Yao Liquan, and I am here on the orders of Inspector Qiao!"
When Liu Cunhou heard that the other party was actually sent by Qiao Yu, he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart. It seemed that the other party was here to be a lobbyist. If he could seek refuge with Qiao Yu, it would be much better than if he had been criticized in Yunnan. Of course, Liu Cunhou was also well versed in this.
The principle of buying and selling is that you must sell it at a good price.
"I am now following Commander Xiong's command, and I will never change it. Sir, it's all in vain!" Liu Cunhou said righteously, but the twinkling eyes had already betrayed his thoughts. Yao Liquan did not speak, but took it out of his arms.
A check.
"This is a bank check of 200,000 yuan issued by the Bank of Sichuan. It can be cashed on sight. I guess brothers are a little tight on money, so take it first!"
Liu Cunhou originally wanted to put on a show, but as soon as he saw the check, he couldn't take his eyes off it. His more than two thousand soldiers had been in arrears with their pay for several months. When Xiong Kewu raised his troops, the treasuries of Xiuwen and other places were
It was all given to everyone, but it was only one month's salary. Xiong Kewu promised that he would pay everyone the full amount as soon as Guiyang was captured. However, now that Guiyang has been captured, they have not seen a penny, so they all have a lot of money.
I have great resentment, but these two hundred thousand yuan can give each soldier one hundred yuan. Even if the officers at all levels deduct half of it, it is enough to make up for the general's salary. There is no doubt that this is a fortune that Liu Cunhou cannot refuse.
bait.
After thinking for a long time, Liu Cunhou carefully held the check in his hand, "Mr. Yao, thanks for the inspection, I, Liu Cunhou, am willing to join the Sichuan Army. But after all, I still have more than 2,000 brothers under my command. I hope I can find a way to survive."
!”
"Captain, what are you still hesitating about? We are all from Sichuan. We are all criticized in Yunnan and Guizhou. When we are eating meat and drinking, we will not be thought of. If anything bad happens, we will not be able to escape. Even if we join the Sichuan army, we are just small soldiers.
I am willing to do it, just for the sake of comfort!" Tian Songyao said hurriedly. His words were nominally addressed to Liu Cunhou, but in reality they were also addressed to Yao Liquan, indicating his wholehearted devotion to him.
How could Yao Liquan not understand? It seems that this person is worthy of promotion, "Captain Liu, what official position you have now is still the same in Sichuan. As long as your soldiers meet the standards of the Sichuan Army, they will all continue to serve as soldiers. If
If they are tired of marching, you can pay them travel expenses and let them go home. In short, I will try my best to satisfy you!"
Liu Cunhou received Yao Liquan's guarantee, and finally felt relieved and completely defected to the Sichuan Army. There were many Yunnan people in Liu Cunhou's army. These people would never defect to the Sichuan Army. There was a high possibility of rebellion. Liu Cunhou and Yao
Li Quan made an agreement that these people would be disarmed as soon as the Sichuan Army brigade arrived.
After the discussion, Yao Liquan hurriedly informed Qiao Yu, and the Sichuan army immediately accelerated its march and soon approached Xiuwen. Liu Cunhou also eliminated all the die-hards. The Sichuan army occupied Xiuwen without any bloodshed, and the troops were approaching Guiyang. At this time, Liu Xianshi
As they were leading a large army to counterattack Guiyang, Xiong Kewu commanded his men to set up defenses with all their strength. Both sides regarded Guiyang City as a battlefield. You came and I went back and forth, and the fighting was very lively.
At this time, the battle on the Yangtze River had ended. Duan Zhigui and Li Chun led the army to invade Nanchang. Li Chun was immediately appointed as the governor of Jiangxi. Zhang Xun also took the lead and conquered Nanjing. The bustling second revolution also began.
Completely defeated, the Beiyang army shocked the world, and Lao Yuan's power reached its peak...
The city of Beijing is becoming more and more glamorous. Lao Yuan's face is glowing now, and he is smiling at his concubine. Yang Du, Yang Shiqi and other counselors also see hope. Beiyang has finally expanded its sphere of influence to the Yangtze River Basin. This is a great opportunity for Beiyang.
What a great blessing. The Yangtze River Basin is the most prosperous, which can greatly alleviate the financial difficulties of Beiyang. At the same time, the Yangtze River is also a long dragon running through the hinterland of China. After occupying this place, it can block the route from Sichuan to the east and threaten Sichuan to the south.
Guangdong and Guangxi can further influence Yunnan and Guizhou.
It can be said that from the Revolution of 1911 to now, China has barely been unified. At first, Lao Yuan was very resentful of Sun Wen and others for holding a shit basin on him and wantonly attacking and slandering him. But now it seems that if they were not overly ambitious and underhanded, he would not be so quick.
Unifying the country, I don't know whether I should be grateful for their incompetence.
"Xizi, tell me what should I do next?" Lao Yuan asked Yang Du with a smile.
Yang Du was also in an agitated mood at this time. Lao Yuan's power was consolidated. After taking over the Yangtze River Basin, the Beiyang territory expanded a lot. Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Zhanyuan, Duan Zhigui, Li Chun, Zhang Xun, Ni Sichong and other Beiyang warriors all obtained
The good thing is that the original situation of uneven distribution of spoils has also been resolved. Beiyang has initially stabilized, and the dissatisfaction with Lao Yuan has quickly subsided. Yang Du has finally waited for this good time to flex his muscles, and you can imagine his mood.
"President, as far as I can see, the only people in the world who can be called princes are Li Yuanhong from Hubei, Qiao Yu from Sichuan, Tang Jiyao from Yunnan, and Lu Rongting from Guangxi. Among them, Yunnan and Guangxi are both as high as the sky and far away from the emperor.
Sichuan is strong and the terrain is dangerous. We are not yet confident enough to capture Qiao Yu. I think the president might as well bring Li Yuanhong to Beijing first and watch under his nose!"
Yang Du mentioned this suggestion, and Lao Yuan nodded secretly. Although Yang Du was arrogant, he did have the ability to be arrogant. He could see the general trend of the world so clearly. Now is indeed a good opportunity to get Li Yuanhong away, but the next step is Sichuan.
Well, Qiao Yu, a young man, has always been difficult for Lao Yuan to understand. He nominally respects Yuan Shikai and has a lot of hatred with Sun Wen's group, but in fact, Qiao Yu is completely his own group, and the water from Sichuan can't get in.
, dominating Sichuan, is really a serious problem, but it is really difficult to deal with.
Qiao Yu has huge economic interests with the great powers of various countries. If he blindly attacks Sichuan, he will encounter opposition from the great powers. Moreover, Sichuan's terrain is difficult and difficult to attack. Moreover, despite the overwhelming strength of the Beiyang Army in the Second Revolution, it will be very costly.
It’s also amazing. Basically all the large loans for the aftermath have been financed. In addition, the White Wolf bandit army has become more and more violent. The Central Plains is vaguely unstable. Lao Yuan must mobilize troops to suppress it. Therefore, as Yang Du said, it is not right.
When Sichuan took action.
"What Xizi said is true. After taking down Li Yuanhong, what should we do?"
"President, you are still only the temporary president. These two words should be removed. In addition, the temporary agreement is also a temporary thing. Sun Wen has evil intentions. Now he can't even keep a piece of territory. This temporary agreement should also be removed.
It’s time to die!”
"After all, this covenant was enacted by the parliament, so blindly abolishing it would not be a good idea!" Lao Yuan had already had this plan in his mind, but now he still refuses to admit it, which shows his true nature as a traitor.
"President, I have said it long ago, and I still say that if China wants to develop, it must have a military and political strongman to take over the power, carry out drastic reforms, get rid of bad governance, and then develop the economy. With the size of China, as long as it can persist
In ten years, it will be comparable to that of ordinary second-rate powers. By then, the country's rights will be recovered and the country's decline in the past three hundred years will be reversed. The great president will be the rebirth of Emperor Qin and the reincarnation of Han Wu. Who in the world dares not to look up to the great president!"
