Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun never thought that Qiao Yu would be so generous and offer the positions of deputy governor and speaker to him all at once. However, both of them are human beings and knew that Qiao Yu had given them such great benefits.
There was no agenda at all, so Pu Dianjun shook his head repeatedly: "Captain Qiao, you were the first to declare Sichuan's independence, and your contribution is the first. Speaker Bai Kuan and Deputy Speaker Wang Dongcheng are both popular. We are willing to be a small people in a prosperous age!"
Qiao Yuxin said that these two guys have refused. If you are not fed first, you will not be able to use it for yourself. Any debts will be settled later: "Two gentlemen, please don't refuse. Sichuan is far from the time when the world is at peace.
Imperial Envoy Xiong has gathered 20,000 to 30,000 troops and is about to march eastward and northward, but now Sichuan is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized, how can we waste people's energy like this?"
When Pu Dianjun heard Qiao Yu talking about Xiong Kewu, he immediately understood. It turned out that Governor Qiao had this plan. Xiong Kewu and other revolutionary parties were indeed a serious problem now, and Pu Dianjun didn't want to see them either. He could kill them first, and then
It would also be good to share the power of Sichuan equally with Qiao Yu. He glanced at Luo Lun again, and Luo Lun nodded to him.
"The Governor is right. It's time to rest with the people. The two of us must serve the Governor!"
"I would like to thank you two first on behalf of the people of Sichuan. In addition, Yin Changheng has a high status in the Sichuan military circles and has good prestige. In the next step, Sichuan is going to reorganize three divisions, so Yin Changheng will be appointed as a division commander. You two will see this matter.
how?"
Pu Dianjun didn't expect Qiao Yu to give him another sweet date. He was really overjoyed. Being able to take charge of the military was what he wanted. With a gun, everything is possible, so he agreed with a smile, "Yin Changheng is indeed an outstanding person. The governor is really discerning.
ah!"
Luo Lun noticed that Qiao Yu was very talkative, so he also interjected: "Captain Qiao, Zhao Erfeng, committed a heinous crime. Do you think we should capture the old thief and punish him properly to comfort the compatriots who died in the Chengdu massacre?"
"Mr. Luo is right, but Zhao Erfeng has a special status and his crimes are too great, and many people in the Sichuan New Army still have a good impression of him. I think it is better to wait until the Sichuan government and parliament are elected, and finally follow legal procedures.
, public trial and public verdict, kill the old thief!"
"The Governor has thought carefully, but I'm worried that Mr. Zhao's nonsense will disturb people's hearts!" Luo Lun asked at this time, just to see if Qiao Yu knew about the Sichuan-Hankou Railway account book.
It is also the key to whether the two parties can cooperate, so after asking this question, Luo Lun stared at Qiao Yu closely, trying to find the flaw!
"Two gentlemen, you are too worried. I have sent Zhao Erfeng to the military camp for custody. The old thief is now mentally and physically exhausted. I am afraid he is not far from death and cannot make any waves!"
Luo Lun didn't find anything wrong, so he agreed with Qiao Yu's solution, and left with Pu Dianjun, sending Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun away. Qiao Yu thought about it some more and found that there were no omissions.
, and went to rest.
On the next day, everyone gathered in the Governor's Mansion. At this time, Zhao Erfeng had moved to Qiao Yu's military camp, and Qiao Yu naturally became the new owner of the Governor's Mansion.
It turned out that all the officials in the government were present except Han Yong who was guarding Chongqing. In addition, Xiong Kewu, Yu Peilun, Yang Shukan and other revolutionary parties were also present. Luo Lun, Pu Dianjun and the members of the Constitutional Party of the original Consultative Bureau were also gathered.
Governor's Palace.
After fierce recommendation, the three parties confirmed all the main government officials. Qiao Yu served as the governor of the Sichuan Military Government, Pu Dianjun and Yu Peilun served as deputy governors respectively, Luo Lun served as the speaker of the parliament, Bai Kuan served as the deputy speaker, and Xiong Kewu served as the military and political minister.
The minister has been assigned to Yin Changheng, and the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has very great real power. The Revolutionary Party is also very happy to be able to compete for this ministerial position. It seems that the influence of the Revolutionary Party is still huge, and Xiong Kewu is even more complacent...
The Minister of Finance was handed over to Wang Dongcheng. The original Minister of Finance, Qiao Cheng, because he was Qiao Yu's eldest brother, in order to avoid the situation of nepotism, he voluntarily quit the government and became the President of the Sichuan General Chamber of Commerce and the Minister of Public Security.
Han Yong served as the commander-in-chief of Chongqing's security. Shi Dingzhong was appointed as the Minister of Civil Affairs. Zhang Lan was appointed as the Minister of Education. He took the initiative to participate in the road protection movement and gained high prestige among the people. He was able to serve as the Minister of Education, and he was able to make the best use of his talents.
Wang Gui remains as Minister of Industry and Commerce, Xue Shan as Minister of Justice, Zhao Baoxuan as Director of the Industrial Development Commission, Wu Hengchang as Deputy Director, who is also in charge of steel plant construction, Tang Yisheng as Minister of Infrastructure, and Yang Shukan as Minister of Health.
On the military side, Qiao Yu serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Sichuan Revolutionary Army, Xiong Kewu serves as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Zhu Qinglan serves as the Chief of General Staff, and Wu Tong serves as the Deputy Chief of General Staff. Since opinions on the issue of military reorganization are not unified, Qiao Yu proposed the formation of a military committee.
The decision was made through unanimous discussion by each committee member, and with the consent of all parties, the Military Committee has a total of nine members, namely Qiao Yu, Han Yong, Qiao Zhen, Zhu Qinglan, Wu Tong, Yin Changheng, Xiong Kewu, Yu Peilun, Yang Shukan, Qiao Yu Ziran
He is the chairman of the committee, and Han Yong is not in Chengdu. There are only eight members. It seems that although Qiao Yu's group has the largest number of people, it does not constitute an absolute majority. It is still fair and reasonable, so Xiong Kewu and other revolutionaries also agreed.
.
"Gentlemen, the new government, parliament, and military committee have been established. Today, Sichuan is still in chaos, especially in the northwestern Sichuan area. Order has not been restored, and there are still many political abuses left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty that need to be cleaned up. In addition, local officials also have to clean up.
Unified evaluation, elimination of old-style officials left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, new salt administration, lijin, rent and interest restrictions, etc. must be implemented. These are all troublesome for you. The most important thing is the problem of the army. Since road protection
Since the movement, the armies across Sichuan have been in chaos. The military government must unify and reorganize as soon as possible to improve the army's combat effectiveness and avoid disturbing the people. Since there has not yet been a unified opinion on the specific reorganization issues, the military committee will discuss and finalize it!"
"Commander, everyone, I, Lao Wang, have become the Minister of Finance. I want to talk about our financial problems. Since the road protection movement, Sichuan has been in turmoil. Although the Manchu treasury has been taken over, there is not much left.
, and now that the New Deal is about to be implemented, fiscal revenue is bound to decrease in a short period of time, and there are too many troops in Sichuan now. I made a hasty calculation and calculated that the regular number is more than 30,000 people, and there are still more than 20,000 local garrison troops.
Coupled with the number of civilian troops, I am afraid it has exceeded 80,000. There are also scattered Manchu and Qing troops in northern Sichuan and western Sichuan. The people of Sichuan are already overwhelmed, so refining the army and streamlining administration is an inevitable choice!"
Wang Dongcheng's men opened fire and directly demanded to reduce the number of troops. What he said made sense. Luo Lun was very thoughtful. It seemed that Qiao Yu was going to attack the revolutionary party and reorganize the army. Naturally, the regular army and local troops could not be reduced at will.
Then the only way is to mobilize the militia. Thinking of this, Luo Lun sneered and said: "Minister Wang, you are too small. Some people have recruited more than 40,000 soldiers. Soon we will have an army of 100,000 in Sichuan. No matter what
Why do you say that as the Speaker, I have to plead for the people, and I will never let some people make fun of the well-being of the people of Sichuan!"
When Xiong Kewu heard that Luo Lun was talking about himself, he was filled with anger, "President Luo, what do you mean? I recruited the army with Governor Qiao's permission, and these troops are to aid the three towns of Wuhan and for the Northern Expedition."
, it was approved by Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, and it is related to the overall situation of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty. How can we talk about it casually?"
"Hmph, it's so majestic. In the Republic of China that is to be established now, our parliament represents the will of the people. No one can expand the military without the approval of the parliament! The man named Luo was imprisoned by Zhao Erfeng for several months, and I didn't even frown.
, are you still afraid of those rats who use chicken feathers as arrows?"
