The most direct consequence of dissatisfaction is that some radical generals in the Sichuan Army want to take advantage of the governor.
The representative figures are Zhang Dabiao, the deputy general of Chengdu Town, Bao Guozhong, the general of Chengdu Town, Guerrilla An and others.
Zhang Dabiao and Bao Guozhong are both executive members of the Joint Advancement Association. They are not only influential in Sichuan Green Camp, but also have a great say in the Common Advancement Association. Therefore, the pressure on whether to remove the governor of Hubei quickly shifted to Sichuan.
Wang Fu, the top leader of the Green Battalion, is here.
Therefore, Wang Fu had to convene a meeting with the main key members in Xiangyang.
Militarily, he is in charge of Sichuan Green Camp, but whether to remove the governor of Hubei is a political matter that must be discussed and resolved by the main members of the Sichuan Green Camp Co-Progress Committee. If they cannot reach an agreement, they must seek instructions from a higher level.
That is, the executive committee of the Gongjin Federation.
But going back and forth like that obviously takes too much time, so Zhang Dabiao and Bao Guozhong hope that the meeting can be passed quickly to avoid alerting the enemy.
"Zheng Dajin, this coward, is doing nothing but the first one to escape. How can he have the face to tell us what to do! If you want me to see it, I can just kill him! You don't dare to do anything, I
Come! The superiors will investigate and I, Zhang Dabiao, will take care of all the consequences!"
Zhang Dabiao, who was already a second-rank deputy general and equivalent to a lieutenant general and division commander, still had the same temperament as when he was a flag soldier a few years ago. He just listened to the wind and rain, and wanted to be the first in everything he did.
Bao Guozhong, the major general brigade commander of Chengdu Town (a third-grade staff general), immediately echoed: "I heard people say that when Feng Sheng'e was surrounded, Zheng Dajin was so scared that he peed his pants. What qualifications does such a person have to lead us! Damn it!
He also gave our brother little shoes to wear. I’m afraid he doesn’t know who Feng Sheng’e was ordered to beat to death!”
"Yes, kill Zheng Dajin and clean up all the discarded armor from the Yunnan Army and the Huguang Green Battalion. We can defend Xiangyang City by ourselves!"
The one who clamored for the other troops in Xiangyang City to be eliminated together was An Lu, who had served as the captain of the personal soldiers beside Mr. Jia. He was currently serving as a third-grade guerrilla, equivalent to a colonel commander.
"It's not difficult to kill this guy. What's difficult is how to explain it to the superiors?"
The speaker was Madri from Solon, the deputy general of Fubiao in Sichuan Green Battalion. However, he was not here to fight. Instead, he was ordered by President Li, the governor of Sichuan, to deliver ordnance to the Sichuan soldiers on the front line, mainly to replenish a batch of medicine.
The Wuchang defeat occurred when the East and West were still halfway there, so they had no choice but to change the route and send the East and West to Xiangyang. As a result, many Sichuan Army colleagues complained as soon as they arrived, saying that they wanted to kill Hubei Governor Zheng Dajin.
Because he is also an executive committee member of the Joint Advancement Association, he naturally has to attend this secret meeting.
However, Madrid's tone does not support the use of force to solve the problem against the governor of Hubei. The reason is that there are too many concerns, and Master Jia is about to lead an army to Xiangyang. If there is another mutiny in the city at this juncture, it will not look good to Master Jia.
If Mr. Jia misunderstands that it is his old troops who are giving him power, the consequences will be very serious.
After all, it has been more than two years since the great Mr. Jia left his beloved Sichuan Green Camp.
As the old saying goes, it's easier for people to walk away and the tea will cool down.
"What's not easy to explain? Let's just say that they were frightened by the rebels and rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, we found them in time and captured them all! Besides, the brothers have no military merit for a while, so cutting off their braids is just the right time to ask the court for credit.
, you’d be a fool not to take advantage of this!”
An Lu was born in Sauron and was a fool. He didn't think as much as Madri thought, but he actually planned to "kill his friends and take credit for it"!
Not to mention, his proposal really tempted many officers who attended the meeting. Chang Bingzhong, the staff general in charge of the logistics of the Sichuan Green Camp, muttered: "If this is the case, the hands and feet must be clean, but no one can be left alive.
Otherwise, it will be embarrassing for everyone if we ask the court to find out."
"What are you afraid of if you are embarrassed? Does his court still dare to touch us?"
Zhang Dabiao chuckled, "Besides, we are also implementing Mr. Jia's consistent policy. We will trick anyone who is our friendly army. Once we have tricked them all, isn't the Qing Dynasty ours now?"
"Okay, stop saying a few words and listen to Mr. Wang's thoughts."
The speaker was General Cui Hengyou of Jinchuan Town.
Hearing this, Wang Fu, who was drinking tea, put down the teapot calmly, coughed lightly, glanced at Zu Yingyuan, who was sitting silently beside him, and chuckled: "Ying Yuan, what do you have?
You might as well share your thoughts first.”
Zu Yingyuan declined and said: "You are the Commander-in-Chief, how can I dare to say anything if you don't say anything?"
Wang Fu said seriously: "There is no big or small thing in the meeting, and rules are established outside the meeting. Now it is a military meeting, and I, the commander-in-chief, have the right to ask you, the deputy general, to speak first."
Zu Yingyuan rolled his eyes at Wang Fu, then looked at everyone, and said slowly: "Although Mr. Zheng's military affairs are unsatisfactory, he is still capable of governance. He is an honest official, always sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and often asks for orders for the people.
For many years, he has been doing practical things for the people and helping local development. In my opinion, he is a rare good official."
After saying that, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You can't just kill people just because they have objections to our Sichuan Army, right? If that happens, won't we people be lawless in the future? No one can restrain us? This is not good, of course.
These are just my superficial personal opinions. For more details, please listen to Mr. Wang’s thoughts.”
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Wang Fu.
Wang Fu hummed slightly, stood up and said to everyone: "I agree with Azu's opinion. Everyone, you must keep in mind that we are officers and soldiers, not robbers! Even if we are robbers, we still have the right to steal. Zheng Futai is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Fake, but he is indeed a good official who is good to the people. If we kill such a good official, then what have we really become?"
The implication is that he does not agree to get rid of Zheng Dajin and take over Xiangyang City entirely.
"What's wrong with a good official? A good official can't sit on our brother's head and shit!"
Bao Guozhong was dissatisfied and said that Zheng Dajin clearly didn't trust them. If he didn't strike first, if the old guy secretly contacted someone to attack them, who would be responsible for the losses of the Sichuan army.
"You don't have to kill him, just lock him up and wait until Mr. Jia arrives to deal with him!"
Zhang Dabiao put forward pertinent opinions, which were compromises, hoping to gain the support of Wang Fu and Zu Yingyuan.
Although Wang and Zu still disagreed, a dispute broke out between the two factions.
But nothing could be achieved after arguing and arguing. Wang Fu frowned and said: "Then the executive committee will vote?"
"surface!"
Zhang Dabiao and others agreed.
Argument after argument, argument after argument, everything is still carried out within the framework of the rules.
Wang Fu and Zu Yingyuan are executive members, as are Zhang Dabiao and Bao Guozhong, and Madri and Chang Bingzhong are also executive members.
In other words, there are six members of the Gongjin Executive Committee present here.
Originally, there was Ma Dayuan, and the number of seven people was an odd number. Now that Ma Dayuan has developed in the Xinghan Army, it is an even number of six people.
The result of the vote came out quickly - three to three.
Wang Fu, Zu Yingyuan, and Madri did not agree to kill Zheng Dajin; Zhang Dahu, Bao Guozhong, and Chang Bingzhong agreed to kill Zheng Dajin.
There was no result in the vote. The two sides were deadlocked and started quarreling again.
Zhang Dabiao was impatient and blamed Wang Fu for not agreeing, so he actually rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat him.
Although Wang Fu was the commander-in-chief, his skills were limited and he was no match for Zhang Dabiao. In desperation, he rushed into the inner room and took out something and raised it in front of his face: "The memorial tablet of your Excellency is here, who dares to do it!"
Everyone took a closer look and were stunned.
What was blocking Wang Fu's face was the memorial tablet of Mr. Jia, the founder of the Gongjin Association!
A town meeting ritual weapon specially used to introduce new members to the meeting.
It is said to be forged from the water of Tianshan Snow Lotus and the ice of Antarctic Black Iron, making it indestructible.
