Chapter 131: War Countdown
"Governor, Tang Jiyao wants to proclaim himself king, so the Governor must not agree!"
Cai E held a telegram in his hand, which was sent by Tang Jiyao. It introduced the situation of entering Guiyang, and expressed his determination to fight the Sichuan army to avenge his previous shame. In the end, Guizhou was elected as the governor of Guizhou. In the telegram, Tang Jiyao said that as a member of the Yunnan Army, he would always obey the command of Governor Cai E. Whether to be Governor Guizhou was based on Cai E's words. At the same time, he also said that even if he became the governor, he would never dare to go along with Cai E, but only Cai E would follow the leader of everything.
Seeing this, Cai E didn't understand that Tang Jiyao was ambitious after all. Although Tang Jiyao repeatedly expressed his determination to absolutely obey Cai E's orders in the telegram, it can be seen from Tang Jiyao's title of Guizhou Governor, he was absolutely unwilling to be submissive. Both of them were governors, with the same title and each in charge of the same province. Why should I listen to you?
As Cai E's direct descendant, Li Genyuan also saw this telegram. Li Genyuan was full of anger at first sight. He was no better than you, Tang Jiyao, and you dare to take over the title of governor. My old Li couldn't agree. Therefore, Li Genyuan strongly advocated the removal of Tang Jiyao's military power and even wanted to take Tang Jiyao down.
"Mr. Qu Shi, there is still a Sichuan army in Guizhou now. If we rashly replace Tang Jiyao, we are afraid that Guizhou will fall into the hands of the Sichuan army when the morale of the army is in chaos. Besides Tang Jiyao, there are not many talents in the Yunnan army who can stand alone. Is there any suitable person?"
Li Genyuan was also stunned. There were many people who could fight among the Yunnan Army, but the other ones with talented talents were not very useful.
"The governor can't see Tang Jiyao on an equal footing with you!"
Cai E gently twisted the telegram and kneaded it into a ball of paper: "Mr. Qu Shi, this Tang Jiyao is like this piece of paper and cannot escape my palm. You are now sending me an order. I will personally lead the troops to southern Sichuan for a while!"
Cai E rectified the military, and Tang Jiyao also received permission from Cai E at this time. He immediately took office as the governor of Guizhou. At the same time, Ren Kecheng was appointed as the president of the parliament and the chief of civil affairs, and Liu Xianshi was the minister of military affairs. Then Tang Jiyao issued a telegram in the name of the governor of Guizhou, demanding that the Sichuan army quickly withdraw from Guizhou and not be allowed to interfere in affairs within Guizhou Province.
Before the army moved, public opinion took the lead. Yunnan Governor Cai E immediately issued a telegram, condemning the Sichuan army's actions to harm Guizhou, demanding that the Sichuan army respect the choices of the Guizhou people and withdraw from Guizhou, and at the same time handed over Zhang Bailin and Yang Xiucheng to the Guizhou military government for handling!
Qiao Yu received two power-ups and admired this ability to turn black and white. Tang Jiyao entered Guizhou under the banner of the Yunnan Army, turned around and condemned the Sichuan Army with the name of Guizhou Governor. Cai E also supported Tang Jiyao's actions seriously. It seems that history cannot be believed. All the characters in this era have countless faces. Whoever regards them as facials will definitely suffer a loss.
"Governor, in my opinion, the Yunnan Army has begun to split at this time. Tang Jiyao is going to be independent, but Cai E may not allow it. The good show is about to begin!" Zhu Qinglan was transferred back to Chengdu at this time to assist Qiao Yu in military affairs. After he saw that Tang Jiyao was appointed as the Guizhou Governor, he did not feel much loss in his heart. The purpose of the Sichuan Army in Guizhou was not to plot against the regime in Guizhou, so it was not impossible to let the Yunnan Army gain the upper hand. Moreover, he saw the division of the Yunnan Army. Zhu Qinglan thought this was a good phenomenon.
"It's not that simple. Cai E's vision is still very clever. He also sent a telegram to support Tang Jiyao at this time. The relationship between the two has not yet broken down. In my opinion, Tang Jiyao could not beat Cai E, but this time the Guizhou chaos may evolve and expand to the entire southwest!"...
When Zhu Qinglan heard Qiao Yu's words, he didn't think clearly, then looked at the map and then looked at the power supply in his hand.
"Governor, do you think Cai E will take the initiative to attack Sichuan?"
"If Cai E didn't attack Sichuan, how could he gain the position of controlling Tang Jiyao? Cai E is a man with first-class vision and strong military means. He is really a confidant!"
Just as Qiao Yu sighed, another piece of information was sent. Cai E planned to form the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition forces to jointly expel the Sichuan Army. Cai E served as commander-in-chief and appointed Tang Jiyao as deputy commander-in-chief. Cai E personally led the army to start heading towards the Sichuan-Yunnan border!"
When Zhu Qinglan saw this information, he really guessed well with Qiao Yu. Cai E once again took Tang Jiyao as his deputy by expanding the scale of the war. No matter how he operated in Guizhou, he would inevitably be controlled by Cai E. It seems that this person is worthy of being one of the three non-commissioned officers and is really difficult to deal with.
But Cai E's expansion of the scale of the war was not a good thing for the Yunnan army. Yunnan's foundation was too weak: "Governor, can Yunnan's finances withstand such large-scale wars? Is Cai E not afraid of Yunnan's economic collapse?"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but now Nanjing has agreed to Yuan Shikai take office in Beijing, and China will soon complete nominal unification. If Cai E doesn't seize the opportunity to defeat Sichuan, there will be no chance. The position of the southwest overlord will not fall on him!"
What Zhu Qinglan admires most about Qiao Yu is that he always has a big picture in his heart. As a superior, as long as the general direction is good, there will be no big problems. Therefore, Zhu Qinglan asked humbly: "How should the governor think we should deal with it?"
"The soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil comes. If Cai E wants to play big things, we must cooperate, right? I immediately took the remaining troops of the First Division directly to southern Sichuan. When I touched Cai E, the safety of Chengdu would be handed over to the Chief of Staff! Now that Old Yuan is inevitable, you must beware of him in everything. Unlike Sun Dapao, Old Yuan has no power or power. Old Yuan is now strong and powerful! Now he is on the momentum. If you move a little, it will be enough for us to bear it."
Zhu Qinglan nodded and said yes. Qiao Yu made another arrangement and led the army straight to southern Sichuan. At this time, the Sichuan-Yunnan armies set up a battle formation in Guizhou and southern Sichuan at the same time. After Tang Jiyao got his wish, he personally led the Yunnan-Guizhou coalition forces to northern Guizhou, hoping to expel the Sichuan army from Guizhou. At this time, the Sichuan army, led by Qiao Zhen and Wu Tong, had already felt Xiuwen.
Xiuwen is now just an ordinary town in central Guizhou. It has convenient transportation and developed agriculture. It is the gateway to the north of Guiyang. When Xiuwen was later famous for its bauxite. As a bauxite that has an important position in the aviation and military industry, it has not yet been recognized as a huge value in China, nor has it corresponding electrolytic furnace factory.
However, the town will soon become a battlefield for the battle between Sichuan and Yunnan, which also attracted the attention of all parties. Qiao Zhen and Wu Tong led the Sichuan army to seize the cultivation level first. With the cooperation of the local autonomous academic society, they mobilized the people to quickly build fortifications and set up machine guns and cannons. Zhang Bailin also came forward personally to summon old subordinates and form a civilian army, hoping to regain power in Guizhou through the battle.
Cai E was deeply aware of the principle that troop is very fast. After rectifying the army, he immediately rushed straight to southern Sichuan. At this time, the defenders in southern Sichuan were the Third Division of the Sichuan Army led by Wang Huai and Shi Yi. They were originally ordered to go forward to restrain the Yunnan Army, but at this time they had received Qiao Yu's order to form the Southern Sichuan Security Army headquarters, personally served as commander-in-chief, appointed Wang Huai as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, unified command of the various armies in southern Sichuan, and jointly dealt with the invasion of the Yunnan Army, and appointed Shi Yi as the chief of staff. With Qiao Yu's arrival, the two routes of Sichuan and Yunnan faced each other, and the second confrontation also entered the countdown.
