Lu Wanqing has been pregnant for nearly eight months, and soon another new baby will be born. However, Qiao Yu still loves this eldest daughter the most, and even feels a little guilty. She is destined not to be called Shuaifu Qianjin, but
This may also be a good thing for her. Being able to "qing" means giving her a chance to be the hostess. Unexpectedly, Xue Yanniang shook her head slightly, "Shun Qing, Mrs. Lu has already visited me and the child. She likes this very much."
The child also said that she looks like you, and she would be satisfied if she could have a child like you. We, mother and daughter, are doing well in Chengdu!"
Qiao Yu felt dizzy when he heard this. It seemed that he couldn't underestimate Lu Wanqing's ability to find it here. However, looking back, I'm afraid no man could hide such a thing for a lifetime. He would know it if he knew it.
At this moment, the little girl seemed to wake up, her little body curled up, and before she even opened her eyes, a loud cry came out. It was really earth-shattering and extraordinary. Qiao Yu's love for his daughter suddenly arose.
Hold him in his arms.
While Qiao Yu was enjoying the rare family happiness, a piece of news came out. In view of the serious drug case in Southwest China, which involved senior officials from three provinces, Yuan Shikai specially appointed Cai E and Cai Songpo, the former governor of Yunnan, as the investigation commissioner to go to the Southwest to inspect.
situation, dealing with the drug problem.
Since Cai E was transferred to bei jing, although Lao Yuan valued him very much and wanted to reuse him, Cai E soon discovered that the entire Beiyang group had excluded him and he could not enter the decision-making circle at all. It was precisely because of his mistakes that he made many mistakes.
After making many mistakes, Cai E simply did nothing and spent the whole day drinking and living with the high-ranking officials in Beiyang.
However, there is a heart unwilling to be lonely hidden under Cai E's depraved surface. His pain mainly comes from two aspects. The first is that after Tang Jiyao succeeded as the governor of Yunnan, he aggressively eliminated dissidents and eliminated all the generals of Cai E's line.
E's foundation in Yunnan has almost been lost; another point is Qiao Yu. Cai E has always regarded the master of Sichuan as his biggest competitor. Little did he know that Sichuan has expanded faster and faster in the past few years, and has become faintly visible.
Being able to compete with Beiyang, with the support of foreigners, Yuan Shikai had no way to deal with Sichuan. He could only watch Sichuan grow stronger day by day. Just over a year ago, his former classmate Jiang Baili also ran to Sichuan and became Sichuan.
President of the Border Defense University.
Just when Cai E could only spend his energy on the Bada Hutongs, Yuan Shikai suddenly invited him to Zhong Nan Hai. After a conversation, Yuan Shikai expressed his intention to appoint him as the Southwest Border Affairs Supervisor and Anti-Narcotics Investigation Commissioner!
Cai E is so smart. He immediately knew Lao Yuan's plan. He was to go to the southwest to replace Tang Jiyao, and then check and balance Qiao Yu. This was definitely not an easy task. Both Qiao Yu and Tang Jiyao were ruthless and decisive.
As a person, if you go to the southwest alone, you will be shattered to pieces if you are not careful. However, this is your only opportunity and you must not lose it.
"President, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission and stabilize the Southwest for the President. No matter what changes occur in the political situation, I will resolutely obey the President's orders and swear allegiance to the President to the death!"
Cai E expressed his loyalty, and Yuan Shikai also had a smile on his face. He knew that Yang Du and others were running for Junxian. Cai E's statement was undoubtedly supporting him. How could Lao Yuan not be happy in his heart.
"Songpo, you are a great talent. In the past few years, you have been aggrieved in Bei Jing. But don't worry, now is your chance to show your talents. I will be your backing!"
Cai E immediately bid farewell to Yuan Shikai and went south directly, preparing to enter the southwest from Wuhan. When the news of Cai E's southward trip came out, Tang Jiyao immediately became an ant on the hot pot. Since Sichuan vigorously investigated Yuntu, Yunnan exported opium through Sichuan.
All lines were cut off, and the casualties were heavy.
The Yunnan Army now mainly relies on opium. If this source of wealth is cut off, the Yunnan Army will collapse immediately. At first, Tang Jiyao thought that Qiao Yu wanted to get some profits from opium, so he would simply share some with him.
Yes, but then Guizhou Civil Affairs Minister Zhang Bailin also started a large-scale investigation, and after crazy reports in newspapers, and gave Tang Jiyao the title of Opium Commander, Tang Jiyao knew that something was wrong.
Qiao Yu wanted to completely disgrace himself. Tang Jiyao immediately started to fight back, but he had already lost the opportunity. News and publicity has always depended on who has strong capital. This is a money-burning thing. The Yunnan Army will not even eat.
He couldn't afford it. Where would he get the extra capital for publicity? Therefore, Tang Jiyao quickly fell into passivity.
At this time, another big stick was struck. Cai E was ordered to go south. It was like a bolt from the blue for Tang Jiyao. Tang Jiyao's feelings for Cai E were very complicated. From the bottom of his heart, he owed Cai E. It was Cai E who
E pushed him to the level of a provincial official, but now he is occupying the magpie's nest and occupying Yunnan. Once the two people face each other, Tang Jiyao really doesn't know what to do.
& qing!" Jiang Baili greeted Cai E excitedly, "Songpo, this is Qiao Yu and Qiao Shunqing. I believe you already know each other, so I won't introduce you further!"
Qiao Yu and Cai E were both looking at each other. They were both young, Qiao Yu was in his mid-twenties, and Cai E was just over 30 years old. Both of them were in their prime, and the man was the most golden.
Since the Revolution of 1911, Sichuan and Yunnan have had several conflicts. Qiao Yu and Cai E even personally competed on the battlefield over the issue of Guizhou. When the former rivals met, both of them were very emotional.
, Cai E had already thought clearly before setting off south that he must gain control of Yunnan this time.
To achieve this goal, it is very important to obtain the temporary support of Sichuan. Otherwise, how can Cai E fight against Tang Jiyao alone? Cai E is followed by a young woman. This woman is plainly dressed and has an extraordinary bearing. Intelligence personnel have reported to Qiao Yu.
This woman is Xiaofengxian.
Although this romantic woman did not play out the legend she should have with Cai E, she was favored by Cai E and took her with him. There was also a woman beside Qiao Yu, Shen Zhuyun. Both beauties had their own unique characteristics.
The beauties of Qianqiu, no matter how men secretly compare them, they are not like this!
"Mr. Cai, although we have fought against each other on the battlefield, as the saying goes, we don't know each other until we fight. It is a blessing in life to be able to see Cai Songpo now!"
"Inspector Qiao, you are too polite. Now that you are in charge of a party, you are the one who really does big things. Cai is just a useless person who does nothing!"
"You two, don't be polite. The dock is not a place to talk. We'd better get to the handsome man's house!" Jiang Baili greeted, Qiao Yu took Cai E into the car that had been prepared, and soon arrived at the other courtyard.
among.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two parties went straight to the topic of the conversation. Cai E spoke first, "Mr. Qiao, Brother Jiang, I am entrusted by Yuan Shikai this time to thoroughly investigate the drug problem in Southwest China. Although I am in Beijing, I have no experience in Yunnan.
The news is still very clear. Tang Jiyao is indeed vigorously cultivating opium and relying on the huge profits from drugs to support the Yunnan soldiers. The evidence obtained by Sichuan should be true. Cai is very aware of the dangers of drugs. This is something that harms the country and the people, but Yunnan
Soldiers in the army also need to eat and drink, and we cannot let them starve to death, right now, Beijing will not allocate more money at all. Mr. Qiao, can you give us a charter?"
Qiao Yu nodded, "Mr. Cai, since you are so frank, I have told you all Sichuan's requirements. Tang Jiyao must be taken down. He planted opium wantonly and harmed the people. He is absolutely unforgivable. This kind of person can never serve as the governor of Yunnan."
Now, I hope Mr. Cai E can take over the position of governor of Yunnan. The Yunnan army is now short of money and food, and Sichuan can provide loans to help Yunnan!"
"Mr. Qiao, during the Qing Dynasty, Sichuan provided 800,000 taels of silver to Yunnan every year. As a supplement to Yunnan, I hope this money can be restored!"
"This is absolutely not possible!" Qiao Yu shook his head, "Sichuan and Yunnan are two provinces, and giving money for free is absolutely not possible. However, I suggest that Sichuan step forward to set up a Yunnan Development Fund, and Sichuan step forward to help Yunnan exploit resources. Yunnan
The resources in Sichuan are very rich. Among other things, the copper mines are worth countless amounts. What is lacking are roads. Sichuan is willing to pay to solve these problems. Now the Chengdu-Kunming Railway has begun construction. If everything goes well, it will be built within three years.
Effect!"
There was no talk of economic invasion at this time, but Cai E also saw Qiao Yu's intentions. He wanted to use money to open a road. What does it mean to help exploit resources? It was clear that Qiao Yu wanted Cai E to exchange Yunnan's resources for Sichuan's.
Cai E deliberately refused to support him, but he also knew very well that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he must have the support of Sichuan.
"Mr. Qiao, I have also considered what you said, but water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer, and my pocket is empty now!"
"This is not a problem. You can borrow two million yuan from Mr. Cai in the name of a commercial loan. You only need to use the trade taxes between Sichuan and Yunnan as collateral!"
I'm afraid no one in this era understands the importance of economic offensive better than Qiao Yu. Free money can move people's hearts the most. It is foolish to rely solely on military power to maintain territory. In the history of the Republic of China, the power of warlords rose and fell. In the end,
It is inevitable that the stars will fall apart. In fact, they did not play the economic card well. In later generations, major countries relied on so-called economic aid to control countless small countries. If Qiao Yu wants to plot Yunnan, he must first let the economic interests of Yunnan and Sichuan
