Back to the Republic of China as a commander

In Wuhua Mountain, Yunnan, Tang Jiyao, then the governor of Yunnan, was a little annoyed.Speaking of it, he is a bit melancholy. He contributed the most when the Yunnan Army was established.After Cai E went north, Tang Jiyao was also loyal to look after Cai E's house.Later, when Cai E came back to launch the War to Protect the Country, Tang Jiyao also supported it. Although he was shaken for a little while in front of Yuan Shikai's title and big foreign money, he still got rid of the temptation in the end.

But unexpectedly, Cai E actually held a grudge because of it.If you go to Japan for treatment, you will be treated!They actually reported the abolition of the Southwest Military Government, Ge Laozi, how many brothers in the Yunnan Army paid for it with blood?It was actually sent out by Cai Songpo with such a sentence, and it was not good for anyone, but it was given to the Nationalist Government.Isn't it just because Wang Zhenyu and Cai Songpo are both from Baoqing?It's really good that the fat and water don't flow into the field of outsiders. These Hunanese know how to hold a group.

Thinking of this, Tang Jiyao made up his mind even more. After passing this hurdle, I must send all the Hunan people in the team out of the country, and we Yunnan people have to be in charge of this Yunnan.

But what really troubles Tang Jiyao now is that he has very limited control over the Dian army, at least he can't control Luo Peijin.It would be great if Cai Songpo was dead now, but he still hangs his breath and spends his time in Japan!

After much deliberation, Tang Jiyao felt that he still couldn't wait for someone to come to his door. He immediately sent his cronies to hold letters to Luo Peijin and Dai Kan in Sichuan, and Liu Xianshi and Ren Kecheng in Guizhou, hoping to be a trinity and conspire to advance and retreat.At the same time, Tang Jiyao felt a little more at ease when he transferred the three divisions of Xie Ruyi, Hu Ruoyu, and Li Xuanting, who were loyal to him, to the vicinity of Yunnan.

When Yang Du and his party arrived in Chongqing, the army in Sichuan had three armies and twelve divisions.

At this time, after some operations by Tang Jiyao, the situation in Sichuan has undergone great changes. Not to mention Yang Du, even Cai E himself may not be able to control the situation when he comes back.Luo Peijin, who replaced Cai E as the commander of the First Army of the Yasukuni Yunnan Army, had just accepted Tang Jiyao's appointment as the acting governor of Sichuan, and Xiong Kewu, who had been suspected by Tang Jiyao, was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Yasukuni Sichuan Army and governor of Sichuan Province, which also accelerated Xiong Kewu's return Nanjing's determination.And Luo Peijin's mind has also undergone tremendous changes after he became the warlord, and he naturally turned a blind eye to Cai E's letter asking him to support the surrender to Nanjing.

Tang Jiyao's appointment was later called a big failure by historians. You must know that the Yunnan Army in Sichuan at this time only had Gu Pinzhen, Zhao Youxin, and three divisions, while the Sichuan Army under Xiong Kewu's name (not necessarily all listened to Xiong Kewu) had but Nugang , Liu Cunhou, Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, and Lu Chao five divisions.Moreover, the Sichuan army still controls the entire Sichuan and even Chongqing, the throat of the southwest, and the more important thing is yet to come. Luo Peijin does not know the overall situation. He has always advocated strengthening Yunnan and weakening Sichuan. The first order was to rectify Sichuan's finances, so it was a bad thing.

Specifically, Luo Peijin's reform plan is that the military salary of each division of the Yunnan Army is 1 yuan per year, while that of the Sichuan Army is only 80 yuan per division.At this moment, the conflict between the Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army was publicly put on the table, causing the division commanders of the Sichuan Army to send telegrams to protest.The five division commanders of the Sichuan Army who were originally not united and had old grievances began to flirt, emphasizing that we are all fellow villagers, and we must remember to help each other.

Luo Peijin's bigger tricks are still to come. On September 9), Luo Peijin, who was still in the position of the warlord, had the idea of ​​abolishing the Sichuan Army. The three teachers, Dai Kan, Wang Wenhua, and Yuan Zuming, came to discuss this matter.

After all, it was on the territory of the Sichuan people, and the news spread quickly. Now the big bosses of the Sichuan army couldn’t sit still. Originally, it was only Xiong Kewu and Lu Chao who wanted to join Nanjing, but now Liu Xiang, Liu Cunhou, and Yang Sen These ground snakes also began to fall in this direction.

When Gong Peng, head of the Southwest Central Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, handed over these materials to Yang Du, Yang Du roughly had a prototype for solving the Southwest problem in his mind.

"Stationmaster Gong, I want to meet Xiong Kewu. Can you arrange it here? Besides, my visit to Chongqing is a secret, try not to let outsiders know."

Gong Peng nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and then turned around to make arrangements.

This time Yang Du did not come empty-handed, except for the 1000 million Huayuan used to buy the heroes in Sichuan, behind Yang Du, Tang Shengzhi's Ninth Division stationed in Changde, Dai Yue's Sixth Division stationed in Yichang, and the Li Pinxian's Seventh Division transferred from Jiujiang, and Deng Keng's No.14 Division stationed in Luyang, a total of 3 troops, mobilized for combat and replenished their troops and supplies. More than [-] working groups composed of cadres of the National Socialist Party and security forces are also being formed intensively, and the local troops and security forces in the three provinces adjacent to the southwest, Hunan, Guangxi, and Hubei, have also fully replenished their combat ammunition and entered combat readiness. state.Wang Zhenyu's meaning is very clear, it's best not to use troops, if you have to do it, you have to be ruthless, so as not to leave any future troubles.

At this time, the first political dispute of the Nanjing government gradually subsided under the mediation of Huang Xing's illness, and Hu Hanmin finally allocated 6000 million yuan from the newly added 4000 million yuan in customs revenue to the local government of Guangdong Province for other purposes. Land acquisition and water and electricity supply.And Zhang Taiyan also saw the power of the alliance in this struggle, and felt that it is better to seek common ground while reserving differences.But just when everyone thought the first political battle was about to end, Wang Zhenyu threw a hot potato at Nanjing, and the fire of political dispute was ignited again, but this time Wang Zhenyu really didn't mean it.

From the first day of the establishment of the Nanjing National Government, the representatives of the National Assembly have been arguing endlessly about whether to use military training to govern the country or to rule the country according to law.On the surface, it is nothing more than a dispute over regimes, but in essence it is still a matter of power distribution.If it weren't for the fact that Wang Zhenyu's current strength is too strong, it is estimated that the people from the National Assembly and the National Government would have shouted Wang Zhenyu to get out.Who wouldn't want power to be in their own hands?

Wang Zhenyu is also very clear about this, no matter how many concessions he makes, it is impossible to satisfy others, maybe only when he loses everything, others will be satisfied, and will sympathize with the poor you with pitiful eyes.Although Wang Zhenyu did not intend to become a dictator, he would not allow himself to fall to that point after having tried the taste of power.But at the moment, he is not worried about this at all. He has secured the barrel of the gun through the military committee with one hand, and the money bag with the other hand through the China Development Corporation. Naturally, he is not afraid of any major problems.

What he threw at Nanjing this time was not a bomb, but power, the power of judicial independence.

When the National Government was established in April, it established the Supreme Court. From the very beginning, this institution was positioned not to be responsible to the government, but directly to the National Assembly, and its judges were still lifelong.Although the national government is actually implementing the policy of ruling the party with the military and the government with the party in various places.However, the independence and sanctity of the judiciary have been respected and protected by the junta headed by Wang Zhenyu, and with the implementation of policies such as land reform and urbanization and industrialization, the judicial system has become more and more influential on social life.All factions within the National Socialist Party hope to gain control of the judicial system, and Wang Zhenyu is now throwing this opportunity away.

This power is the right to appoint and remove provincial officials, and Wang Zhenyu was honest with him, so he recommended three people, Qin Zhen, an official from Hunan Province, Shen Hongru, an official from Zhejiang Province, Lin Zhijun, an official from Fujian Province, and the other six provinces. Let the national government appoint itself.

At this time, the political situation in Nanjing, which had already returned to calm, boiled again. The threshold of Wu Tingfang, a lifelong civil servant, was almost broken, and various factions in the party were also active in trying to put people from their own factions in the post of provincial civil servants. Go up, because once you get this position, it means that the power of the judicial system in this province will be in your hands in the next five years. When judiciary independence is emphasized, the courts will have a lot of adjustment and influence on social relations and contradictions. From a perspective, this power seems to be easier to use than the army.

As a result, Huang Xing's face immediately became worthless, and the Alliance and the Restoration Society immediately rolled up their sleeves and went to war. . .

The verbal attacks on each other are still light, and the voices of the two factions advocating assassination to eliminate each other appear from time to time. In the words of the Guangfu Department, isn't our boss Tao Chengzhang killed by them in this way?Fortunately, both Sun Wen and Zhang Taiyan are quite calm-minded, what are you kidding, you little bastards really think that Wuhan is a clay bodhisattva?There is a bottom line in everything. Everyone is playing democratic debates in Nanjing. I guess that person has no time to answer, but if they are playing assassination coup or something, that person will take action.

Now this kind of happy life of having a house, a car, having the right, money, and mistress does not come easily. How many of the bosses here did not get their happy life in exchange for the first half of their lives? If anyone dares to destroy this stable and harmonious life It's a great situation, no need for Wang Zhenyu to gnaw, and the bosses of the two factions will stand up and shoot him to death very enthusiastically.As a result, although the power struggle in Nanjing seemed intense, it was only described by journalists. The biggest effect was to increase the sales of related newspapers and periodicals. The government itself was not greatly affected.Everyone just bickers and throws shoes at each other at the meeting of the National Assembly. The strong ones may even shake their fists or something. In short, the atmosphere of democracy is very good, at least compared to the victory of unity and victory when future generations sleep together. Congress is much better.

On October 10, Lieutenant General Li Zongren, who won the limelight for a while by wiping out the main force of the 3+ Beiyang Army after the Southeast Battle, received a separate interview with Wang Zhenyu at Wenlu in Wuhan. . .
