When Huang Yuanyong met Qiao Yu for the first time, he was entrusted with an important task. He was naturally very excited. Moreover, his special experience also made Huang Yuanyong different from the passionate young people of this era. This is what Qiao Yu values about him. At least this person will not
Being deceived by Sun Dapao, and under his management, most young people in the southwest will not be pulled over by Sun Wen. They must not make the mistakes of the Qing Dynasty. Many of the talents who worked hard to cultivate turned against themselves in the end. That would be worse.
Even if you die.
"Since the commander-in-chief cares about me, I will draft a press and publication regulation now to regulate the cultural market!"
"Well, it must be fast and of high quality!"
"Don't worry, Commander, I will do my best!"
Huang Yuanyong hurriedly said goodbye and got ready. Qiao Yu looked at Zhang Lan, Huang Xing and others again.
"Everyone, in addition to dealing with rogue scholars like Lang Zhongshu in today's matter, I also need to reflect on myself. How many students are now being used by these people with ulterior motives. If nothing is changed, these young people will be destroyed.
Yes, I think it is necessary to establish a propaganda department. We are not trying to cover up the problem and fool the people of the world, but we must also prevent other forces from fooling the people in turn. This is the duty of the government. It is necessary to let everyone know the objective
fact!"
Zhang Lan nodded repeatedly: "The commander-in-chief is right. China is now in a special historical period of drastic changes. It must be given correct ideological guidance. A country with chaotic thinking will not have much fighting power!"
Originally, Zhang Lan and others were all old-style scholar-bureaucrats. If this situation had not happened, they would have been absolutely unwilling to let the government interfere in the affairs of the academic world. After all, maintaining the integrity of the academic world was also an important concept for them. It was just the cruel reality that educated them.
, the so-called academic du li, speech zi you are all nonsense and must be guided and managed. Even if Qiao Yu does not use it, he will be used by others, and it will be someone with even more evil intentions.
"Commander, students, young people are the future of the country. Liang Qichao said that strong young people will make the country strong, and young people's wisdom will make the country wise. In fact, it is very reasonable. If these young people who are not experienced in the world are pulled over by foreign forces, China will...
We are really going to face the danger of subjugating our country and annihilating our species, and we people should really keep our eyes peeled!" Zhang Taiyan was also extremely emotional.
"Brother Keqiang, I wonder if you are interested in serving as the Minister of Culture and Propaganda to oversee the propaganda of Southwest China?"
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Qiao Shuai, but I will tell you the truth. My health is getting worse and worse. I often cough up blood. I'm afraid I won't have the energy to live long. I can see that Southwest is so prosperous under Qiao Shuai's governance."
, there is hope for China’s future, and I am willing to die!”
Huang Xing's health is indeed in bad shape, and Qiao Yu also knows that he will not live long. Originally, Qiao Yu was planning to use his reputation to fight against Sun Wen. Imagine that all his most important friends in the past parted ways with Sun Wen, and even directly confronted him, attacking the people.
The party's influence must be so huge, but since Huang Xing was in poor health, he had to give up.
"Brother Keqiang, the medical development in Sichuan has not been slow in recent years. Both Chinese and Western medicine are emphasized, and there are many good doctors. You might as well recuperate in Sichuan, there are still too many things waiting for you!"
Huang Xing nodded in agreement. The matter was almost settled. The investigation of Lang Zhongshu's matter will continue. Qiao Yu must find out how many people the Japanese have bribed and how many chess pieces they have planted in the southwest. In the past, they thought they had severely cracked down on the Japanese.
The intelligence system is enough, but now it seems that it is far from enough.
Qiao Yu's commentary at Sichuan University still had a great impact. Those who originally supported participating in the war were overjoyed, and those who opposed it also stopped. The anxious Duan Qirui suddenly felt much better, without those annoying literati who were in his ears all day long.
While chatting, the work efficiency was much faster, but Duan Qirui also felt heavy pressure. Qiao Yu had already said that he wanted to take back the tariff power, but Duan Qirui was really not sure that he could get some if he asked for it back from the great powers.
In terms of money, it would be nice to be able to solve the Shandong issue once or twice, but now that Qiao Yu has given him such a big problem, how can he not give Duan Qirui a headache.
Duan Qirui from bei jing had a headache, and so did Cai E in Kunming. Last time, Qiao Yu forced him to agree to the Southwest Joint Development Plan. Cai E finally delayed it, but before he arrived in Kunming, Qiao Yu's
A telegram was sent, requesting the Yunnan Army to prepare for inspection and at the same time form volunteer armed forces to fight in Europe!
If there was some consideration for the previous economic cooperation, this time it was directed at Cai E's military power. It was more naked and not covered up at all. Cai E's current situation is unprecedentedly embarrassing.
"Teacher, can you give me an idea on how to deal with Qiao Yu?"
Liang Qichao also had a headache for a while. Qiao Yu was different from other Turkish warlords of this era. He understood foreign situations better than those so-called scholars, and he also knew better how to use new political methods to fight. And the most important thing was that there was a huge Sichuan army standing behind him.
This power group is no match for Qiao Yu in terms of wits or strength. It is really difficult for him to give Cai E an idea.
"Songpo, actually it depends on what you want. If you are willing to be inferior to others, then you might as well follow Qiao Yu's arrangements, just like Zhang Bailin. If you still have ambitions in your heart, you are not willing to give up Sichuan.
As a gift, you might as well give it a try, or else the fish will die and the net will fall apart!"
Cai E is naturally unwilling to give in, but the problem is that the Sichuan Clan is now too large, and the strength of the Sichuan Clan is not just military, but terrifying economic strength, countless heavy artillery, various cutting-edge weapons, and an air force in the sky.
It is really dangerous for the army to go head-to-head with such a powerful opponent.
"Songpo, do you think the Yunnan Army is capable of fighting?"
Cai E stared at the map of Yunnan in front of him and thought carefully for a while, "Teacher, although the Sichuan Army is powerful, it relies too much on the advantages of weapons. The terrain of Yunnan is rugged. If the Sichuan Army wants to enter Yunnan, it will have to bear huge logistical pressure. On the contrary, the Yunnan Army will bear a heavy burden."
It is light and can fight flexibly. As long as I can withstand the first wave of Sichuan army's attack, I am sure to make a peace!"
There was a hint of joy on Liang Qichao's face. Cai E was not a big talker. Since he said this, he was confident enough that as long as he could make peace, he would be able to maintain Yunnan's power.
"Songpo, since you are confident, I think you might as well give it a try. I will help you contact Lu Rongting, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others from Guangdong and Guangxi. I believe they are not fools. As long as Qiao Yu completely solves the problem of Southwest
If there are internal problems, then the next step must be to expand externally, and we should take advantage of this moment to contain Qiao Yu!"
Cai E nodded, that was all he could do for now, but he didn't hold out hope for support from other forces. After all, the War to Protect the Country had just passed, and no one wanted to offend the powerful Sichuan faction. Now it all depends on his own ability.
.
Cai E immediately ordered the Yunnan Army to strengthen mountain training. At the same time, all the weapons originally aided by the Sichuan Army were suspended from use and replaced with weapons left over from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Although it was better to use Sichuan weapons, all the ammunition had to be relied on.
If Sichuan Transport and the Sichuan Army now fall out, wouldn't these weapons all become fire sticks?
However, although Cai E had good intentions, the reality is that this is not the case. Since they were replaced with the new equipment of the Sichuan Army, many officers of the Yunnan Army secretly sold all the old weapons to local leaders, the original chieftains,
How difficult it is to change back now, and many soldiers are already used to the excellent weapons of the Sichuan Army. How can they stand it in a single fight with those old-fashioned rifles?
Therefore, Cai E had no better way but to ask everyone to save ammunition as much as possible. Just as the Yunnan Army was preparing for war, Qiao Yu, in the name of the southwest patrol envoy, issued an order directly to the Yunnan Provincial Assembly, asking them to vote as soon as possible.
cooperation plan, and at the same time pass the resolution to disband the Yunnan Army as soon as possible.
Now the entire Yunnan Province has become lively. The conflict between the patrol envoy and Governor Cai has become public. The first to take action are the fence-sitters. It’s time to bet again. Should we support Governor Cai or Qiao Jun?
Sir, this is the time when political wisdom is most tested. The Sichuan faction is a strong dragon and Cai E is a local snake. This is really a difficult problem.
Originally, Cai E wanted to delay, but Qiao Yu overstepped him and directly informed Yunnan's parliament. Obviously, he was impatient. Yunnan must show an attitude. In other words, it was time for a showdown.
On this day, Cai E, dressed in military uniform, armed with a knife and a gun, came to the Yunnan Provincial Congress accompanied by countless police attachés. Cai E majestically glanced at the more than a hundred congressmen present.
"Everyone, Qiao Yu, the envoy of the southwest patrol, sent a telegram, asking everyone to vote on cooperation plans and disarmament matters as soon as possible. Let me make a statement here. This matter must be cautious. There have been several conflicts between Yunnan and Sichuan. There is no guarantee that Sichuan will not
With a grudge, if this plan is accepted, Yunnan's wealth will definitely fall into the hands of Sichuan, which may be detrimental to the millions of elders in Yunnan, so everyone should act with caution!"
After Cai E finished speaking, all the congressmen in the audience understood that Cai E was preparing to compete with Qiao Yu and did not want to give up the power in his hands. The congressmen who were leaning towards Cai E nodded in agreement. Indeed, they cannot leave the fate of Yunnan to it.
Dominated by Sichuan people.
"The fate of Yunnan can only be determined by the millions of Yunnan people themselves. We firmly support Governor Cai's decision. We must not allow Sichuan with ulterior motives to enter Yunnan. We must fight to the death!"
The shouts and cries from the audience were endless, and they were obviously supporting Cai E, which made him very satisfied, but at this time, a discordant voice also came.
"Farts, they're all farts!" A tall middle-aged man suddenly stood up, pointed at everyone present, and said sternly: "They are all a bunch of bastards, Yunnan is a province of China, ours
Destiny is linked to the destiny of the country. When will we be able to solve the problem on our own? You are playing tricks and seeking death!" Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say.
The man turned to Cai E again and asked sternly: "Captain Cai, after you took charge of Yunnan twice, have the welfare of the people increased a little? Now that all industries in Yunnan are in decline, only opium is selling well. Ask yourself, are you worthy of the people?
, how dare you drag the elders of Yunnan into the flames of war again? You said that Sichuan is plotting Yunnan's wealth, then let me ask you, what else can Yunnan plot when it is so poor? "dd
