The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 75: Killing the chicken for the monkey to see

.

Spn’s political distribution of spoils. The two factions’ distribution of spoils this time can be said to be relatively polite. First of all, Yuan Shikai had previously considered that the local administration in the Huguang area was controlled by Jiang Yu, so he did not compete with Jiang Yu for Hubei.

However, Yuan Shikai's hand in the southeast region could not reach that far. Fujian's transportation was inconvenient, and Guangdong and Guangxi were too far away, so he didn't ask for it.

In addition, Yuan Shikai in Guizhou and Yunnan provinces is absolutely unnecessary. These two provinces are impoverished provinces, and the central government has to subsidize several million yuan every year.

In this way, it is better to hand it over to Jiang Yu, at least there is no need for the central government to pay for it.

In terms of Sichuan, Jiang Yu considered that he had too much territory to manage, and the expansion of the territory was too fast, and there were not enough administrative staff. [

It's better to give it to Yuan Shikai. As long as the supervision of public opinion is strengthened, Beiyang officials will not dare to mess around in Sichuan.

The central government should at least have some face for the central government. At this time, Yuan Shikai is not dead yet, and Jiang Yu is not good at overdoing things. If you fight for everything, you really can’t win. Strategy.

Lu Rongting in Guangxi, Long Jiguang in Guangdong, Cai E in Yunnan, these will be the warlords that Jiangyu will bring down one after another in the future.

Yuan Shikai will march into Sichuan and Northeast China.

Jiang Yu was the first to take Long Jiguang's knife. Long Jiguang was a grandson in Guangdong. He wanted to be the governor of Guangdong, but Tao Chengzhang picked the peaches, and he felt very upset.

But Long Jiguang didn't dare to challenge the National Defense Forces, so he had to swallow his grievances in his stomach.

At this time, Yuan Shikai suddenly ordered Long Jiguang to go to Rehe for reclamation, and his immediate boss Tao Chengzhang also urged Long Jiguang to leave quickly.

Jehol?

That is a place of misery!Long Jiguang naturally refused to go to places where the birds didn't shit, so he immediately complained of illness.But it didn't take long for the First Division of the National Defense Forces temporarily stationed in Guangzhou to directly suppress the country.

Yuan Shikai immediately issued an order, saying that Long Jiguang was not feeling well, so he could go home early to recuperate, and temporarily resigned from all posts, and the troops immediately went to Rehe.

Faced with the pressure from the National Defense Forces and Yuan Shikai's political suppression, Long Jiguang slapped the table and cursed Yuan Shikai as a son of a bitch, and confronted the National Defense Forces.

Naturally, Jiang Yu couldn't tolerate the presence of warlords in Guangdong. Seeing that Long Jiguang refused to give in, he ordered Sun Zhendong: "Collect evidence immediately, divide Long Jiguang's internal affairs, and let that kid be the first to go to a military court."

If you want to add crimes, what's the problem? What's more, Long Jiguang set up casinos in Guangdong and exploited the people.

Just when Long Jiguang's "Jijun" was confronting the National Defense Forces, the two brigade commanders under Long Jiguang had already realized that Long Jiguang was going to die.

Without the support of Yuan Shikai politically, and unable to defeat the National Defense Forces militarily, what chance does Long Jiguang have to come back?

If he is still hanged on the tree of Long Jiguang, he will die with him.

At this time, the East China Military Intelligence Bureau approached them, gave them a sum of money, and promised them that their positions would not change, and they would not need to be transferred to Rehe as long as they accepted the recruitment.

The two brigade commanders were immediately moved.

One night, Long Jiguang was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, under the leadership of Long Jiguang's guards, a group of soldiers rushed into Long Jiguang's barracks, and while Long Jiguang was yelling angrily, they tied him up. [

The next day, Long Jiguang was sent to the National Defense Army barracks.

On the same day, [-] "Jijun" laid down their arms and accepted the National Defense Forces. Long Jiguang was sent to the Supreme Military Court of Huai'an for trial.

"Long Jiguang resisted the military order and was arrested by the Supreme Military Court. He will face charges of more than a dozen crimes."

This news immediately appeared in the East China Daily, and then all major newspapers immediately followed up, breaking the news about Long Jiguang's various crimes since the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Looking at the momentum of these newspapers, I can't wait to portray Long Jiguang as a three-year-old peeping at women's baths, four-year-old snatching candied haws from children, and five-year-old going to brothels.

Long Jiguang was captured, and the Guangdong warlord was wiped out.

The next highlight will naturally be the trial of Long Jiguang. Jiang Yu, as the president of China's Supreme Military Court, will try Long Jiguang in mid-June.

Naturally, Jiang Yu wanted to use Long Jiguang to kill chickens for the monkeys to watch. The military court was not allowed to attend the trial. After the trial opened that day, Jiang Yu was blocked by a group of reporters as soon as he walked out of the court.

Facing the cameras and tape recorders of the reporters, Jiang Yu said generously: "The local warlords exploited the people, corrupted military discipline, even withheld local taxes to fill their own pockets, took concubines wantonly, and occupied land. This is a serious cancer in the world. As the chief judge of China’s highest military court, I will definitely live up to the trust and expectations of my compatriots, and I will never be lenient in punishing local warlords. I only hope that the people will have a bright future and avoid the disaster of warlords disrupting the country.”

Seeing his impassioned statement, some reporters thought to themselves, aren't you also a warlord?It seems that no one has more land than you have occupied...

At this time, Jiangyu is definitely the largest landlord in China, with [-] million mu of land in his hands. If the land in the northwest is added, there will be at least [-] million mu of land.

Self-withholding of local taxes, don't you?

Sister Yi stood aside, elder sister Yi Ruizhi had a solemn and meticulous face, while younger sister Yi Weijun rolled her eyes and glanced at Jiang Yu, thinking that this guy was talking nonsense again.

However, these things have become secrets that cannot be said.No newspaper can report it, not even a small newspaper. Once these things are reported, they will be stuck in the review process first, and the newspaper will be smashed by gangs soon after.

Jiang Yu firmly controlled the public opinion, and the common people didn't know that Jiang Yu was punishing those guys who sang against him.

After briefly answering the reporters, Jiang Yu's guards pushed aside the reporters, protected Jiang Yu and got into the car.

The two sisters got into the car, and Yi Ruizhi, who was Jiang Yu's personal secretary, reported to Jiang Yu: "Jiang Fangzhen asked you for instructions on how to arrange the brigade commanders of the Ji Army?"

"Let's do this! Let them stop being brigade commanders, and all of them will be promoted to division commanders, and they will be assigned to any important place." Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "Let the newspapers publicize them, and they must be portrayed clearly. Great righteousness, give up small righteousness for the nation and the country, and take great righteousness."

Jiang Yu is obviously trying to use public opinion to distort the values ​​​​of those cronies of the warlords. In the future, those fools will have no psychological burden on both sides, and it will be enough to shout for the country and the nation.

……

"That kid surnamed Jiang is really powerful! He took down Long Jiguang with lightning speed, and promoted several little brigade commanders to division commanders." Yuan Shikai sighed after reading the newspaper in Xinhua Palace this morning.

Yuan Keding thought for a while, and after pondering for a while, he said: "This is called killing a chicken to show a monkey, and it is also a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone." [

"That's right, the national defense army is strong and strong, which warlord is their opponent? After Long Jiguang is beaten, which other warlords dare to challenge him, and they all have to be obedient. Even if they are not obedient, they can encourage the warlords like this time in the future At that time, even though those confidantes are betraying their masters, they can gain a good reputation for understanding righteousness, and they can be promoted and make a fortune. Who would not want to do such a good thing?" Yuan Shikai said, stroking his beard.

On that day, the Beiyang government also made an important decision.

Yuan Shikai transferred Cao Kun to be the governor of Sichuan and Duan Qirui to be the governor of the three northeastern provinces.In a few days, the governors of the provinces in East China and the governors of the northwest provinces were revoked.

A vigorous "reduction of feudal clans" that spread to all provinces across the country began, and for a while the warlords in all provinces felt sad and anxious.

The first one arrives!
