The reform of the salt policy is still going on. The production problems have been solved. What is left is to completely solve the various problems in the sales link. However, Qiao Yu has to turn his attention to Chengdu. After all, this is the administrative center of Sichuan.
, if we don’t win Chengdu, it will be unfair and unjust.
In view of Fushun's important position, Qiao Yu left Wang Huai to guard it, and then led the first and second divisions, plus Yang Shukan's division, a total of three divisions, and went straight to Chengdu. At this time, Chengdu
The situation is relatively chaotic, Zhao Erfeng has retreated to the Governor's Mansion, Chengdu is now dominated by the Constitutional Party controlled by Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun, and controls a large number of New Army, but due to the New Army's Seventeenth Town
The commander-in-chief Zhu Qinglan respected Zhao Erfeng's character and was not willing to help Pu Dianjun deal with old man Zhao. Therefore, Chengdu was in a confrontation and could not do anything to Zhao Erfeng for a while.
Outside Chengdu, there was even more chaos. There were forces loyal to the Manchus, some who obeyed Zhao Erfeng's orders, some who obeyed the Constitutional Party, and a larger number of militiamen. The militiamen were also divided into many branches, some of which were local to Chengdu.
Yes, Wu Yuzhang was defeated by Qiao Yu in Luzhou, and now he has also gone to Chengdu and raised a team. With these forces, it will be difficult for Chengdu to avoid chaos.
However, these forces also know that the final say in Sichuan now is Qiao Yu, the governor who has not yet arrived. Especially after Qiao Yu defeated the Yunnan Army, it proved that this army is the most powerful force in Sichuan, so everyone
They secretly acknowledged Governor Qiao Yu's position, but they had different opinions on how to distribute future benefits.
Under this situation, Qiao Yu led three divisions to attack Chengdu, and soon approached Chengdu. Qiao Yu did not rush into the city, but first eliminated the forces outside the city, and recruited those who should be included.
Those who should be demobilized and those who should be eliminated were eliminated. At the same time, the New Deal was also promoted to Chengdu. The price of Lijin and salt was a heavy burden on the people of Sichuan. Now that these have been initially resolved, people's hearts are naturally leaning towards Governor Qiao.
"Governor Qiao, tomorrow's city entry ceremony has been prepared. The First Division will enter the city first as a review team, and then you will follow into the city to lecture the soldiers and civilians, and then meet with representatives from all walks of life in Chengdu. In the evening, Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun
I will come to visit you and discuss matters regarding the Sichuan Parliament!"
Lu Wanqing began to introduce tomorrow's schedule to Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu had headaches. There were too many things. It seemed that she had not had a good rest since time travel. It was always a high-intensity job and it was rare to relax!
"Secretary Lu, I found that the moonlight is pretty good today, why don't we enjoy the moonlight!"
"My Lord Governor, can you come up with a better excuse? Today is the end of the month! You can only see the stars."
Qiao Yu's face immediately turned red when he heard this, but fortunately he was thick-skinned and said with a smile: "It's not bad to look at the stars, let's count them together!"
Lu Wanqing was not an idiot. She naturally knew what Qiao Yu meant, so her face was a little red. Is this the first official date? At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and something happened again. Qiao Yu looked confused.
Regrettably, it seems that my luck is really not very good.
A guard walked in from the door and said, "Report to the Governor, Master Yang Shukan and two people came to visit the Governor!"
Yang Shukan came to find him? He also brought two people with him. Qiao Yu also knew that Yang Shukan would not come to him for ordinary things, so he asked Yang Shukan to bring people in!
"Shun Qing, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but you are becoming more and more prestigious! You have become the governor of Sichuan. I wonder if you still recognize me?"
When Qiao Yu heard the voice sounded familiar, he looked up suddenly and saw a very handsome and elegant young man in his twenties walking in. However, one of his arms was missing and he looked a little haggard. Qiao Yu
When I saw him, I was surprised at first, and then I remembered...
"Brother Yunji, are you still alive?"
Qiao Yu was also very surprised when he saw this person. It turned out that he was the first person he met since his rebirth, Yu Peilun. Qiao Yu thought that he would die in Huanghuagang like in history, but how did he know that he was still alive and still alive?
I was really overjoyed to find myself at this time!
"Why are you still expecting me to die?"
Yu Peilun pointed at another young man behind him and said: "Shun Qing, this is Xiong Kewu, and Xiong Jinfan is also a revolutionary comrade. This time the two of us came to Sichuan to act as pawns on the orders of Mr. Sun and Huang.
Yes, please ask Shunqing to take us in!"
Qiao Yu naturally knew Xiong Kewu's name, but he didn't expect to return to Sichuan at this juncture. It seemed that he was here to seize power. Qiao Yu's joy at meeting his old friend also faded a lot.
"Yunji, let me tell you how you are doing after the Guangzhou Uprising?"
When it comes to the Guangzhou Uprising, Yu Peilun's interest is obviously low: "Shun Qing, what you told me may be right. Brother Qin Bing and Qin are dead, brother Rao Guoliang is also dead, and I also lost an arm. The lesson was painful.
, our organization is too lax, and we have so many passionate men in vain. Shunqing, you have the foresight. Now Sichuan can have such a situation, you are the first contributor. I heard on the road that you have abolished Lijin and reformed the salt policy.
Well, what we have done is really great. Sichuan is at the forefront of the country, and the burden on the people can be reduced a lot. With the Republic of China in sight, we must let the people live a better life!"
Yu Peilun seemed very excited and chatted with Qiao Yu, while Xiong Kewu on the side didn't seem very enthusiastic, and the smile on his face was very forced.
"Governor Qiao has indeed done a good job in reforming the bad government, but the Sichuan revolutionaries launched the road protection movement, which has made even greater contributions. Long Mingjian has died in the hands of the Manchus, but Wang Tianjie has died in the hands of Governor Qiao."
In his hands, he is a hero of the revolution, and I cannot agree with his behavior!"
"Mr. Xiong Kewu, don't you know why Wang Tianjie died? He took the initiative to lead the army to sneak attack on the camp below. He shouldn't die. Should I die?"
Qiao Yu could look at Yu Peilun differently, but it was difficult to maintain any respect for Xiong Kewu. It was when Xiong Kewu took charge of Sichuan in the future that he implemented the defense zone system, which caused a melee among the Sichuan warlords. Looking at this man's subsequent actions, it was a complete
Just an old warlord.
Xiong Kewu actually came to Sichuan as an imperial envoy. Although Sun Wen has not returned to China yet, he learned that Hubei and Sichuan were both the earliest revolutionary provinces, so he sent a telegram asking members of the Tongmenghui to enter the two provinces as soon as possible to direct the revolution.
.
Xiong Kewu believed that the world was now dominated by the Revolutionary Party, and he was appointed by Sun Wen and Huang Xing. He had a distinguished status. After entering Sichuan, he found that the Revolutionary Party's power in Sichuan was not very large, and it was also hit. The real
It was Qiao Yu who controlled Sichuan. Xiong Kewu didn't have a good opinion of him, so he interrupted to criticize Qiao Yu. However, Qiao Yu asked him a question, and he really didn't know how to answer!
Yu Peilun hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Let's not talk about the past. One slap can't make a difference. In my opinion, we are all against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so we still have to work together in the same boat!"
"Governor Qiao, when we came to Sichuan, Mr. Huang Xing had already given us a task to unify Sichuan as soon as possible and strengthen the revolutionary force. Now the number of militiamen in Sichuan is no longer small. I hope the Sichuan military government can support us in reorganizing the militia.
Rise up and become the main force of the revolution!"
