"Of course I'm looking forward to the Duke of Jin." Huang Yin glanced at Sun Zhen, and said angrily: "If Brother De Cao wants to take me to Chongqing to ask for credit, then please do it!"

"Yuanliang, please send a power call to General Fuwen in Chongqing, and beg him to let General Huang Yimin and the No. 19 Division of the Sichuan Army go west." Sun Zhen did not wait for his nephew to answer, and smiled at Huang Yin, clasped his hands together, and said: "You and I will be our own masters from now on. I hope we don't see each other on the battlefield. Today's meal is a practice for Brother Yimin."

Chapter 0188 The Kuomintang does not fight the Kuomintang ([-])

The Battle of Pingchuan lasted for two days. Although it was extremely fierce, the corresponding outcome was quickly determined.Yang Sen's 5-strong First Route Army was wiped out early this morning, and soon after, Shunqing was captured by the 12th Division commanded by Li Shunen.At dawn, good news came from the direction of Tongliang and Yongchuan, and Yang Sen's second and third route armies also retreated across the board.At noon, Wang Zixing sent another battle report of the "Miaoba Town" victory, and the Fifth Route Army of the Sichuan Army also failed.Soon afterwards, Sun Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army's Fourth Route, led his division commanders Wang Mingzhang and Li Jiajuan to switch sides by telegram, announcing that he would join the Kuomintang and the National Revolutionary Army.Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiang, who was entrenched on the sidelines in Bishan County, also electrified and surrendered to the Nationalist Government, and immediately sent troops to attack Dazu County, where Yang Sen's headquarters is located.Of course, at this time Yang Sen had probably already fled.In addition, there is the Luzhou battlefield, which is even more interesting. The armies of Liu Wenhui and Liu Chengxun never entered Lai Xinhui's territory, and the two sides just fought a telegram battle.

At 6:2 p.m. on June 6, a sumptuous banquet was set up in the small restaurant of the Chongqing camp, with red Sichuan dishes and Moutai fine wine. Rare visitors came to the camp today.The person who came was Shi Qingyang, the director of the Sichuan Provincial Party Department. Luo Yaoguo's camp and regent, but he couldn't manage party affairs. He was quite surprised by Shi Qingyang's sudden visit, but he understood the reason after a little thought.

The Sichuan Kuomintang was divided into two factions in history. One faction was called the "Nine-member Regiment" of Huang Xing's family, headed by Xiong Kewu.The other faction was the "Industrial Group" supported by Sun Yat-sen, headed by Xie Chi, and Shi Qingyang was a member of the Industrial Group.Although the Group of Nine and the Industrial Group are past tense, the contradictions and differences between them and Xiong Kewu have always existed, or the differences between Xiong Kewu and Sun Yat-sen have not been eliminated.Otherwise, Luo Yaoguo shouldn't be the director of the Chongqing camp this time.

For today's banquet, Luo Yaoguo did not invite Jiang Baili and He Guoguang, but three students from Whampoa Phase I, He Zhonghan, Zeng Kuoqing, and Director of Operations Yan Wu, came to accompany him.

Looking at the young people, Shi Qingyang nodded in satisfaction, thinking that this Luo Yaoguo is really thoughtful, no wonder he can gain the trust of the Prime Minister.Today's meeting was meant to talk about things that should not be rumored, and Jiang Baili and He Guoguang were indeed inappropriate to appear.

Several people were seated as guests and hosts, and after greeting for a while, Shi Qingyang went straight to the point, talking about his purpose of coming, he said: "I came here to ask brother Fu Wen what you think about the political situation in Sichuan after the Battle of Pingchuan? "

Hearing that the Kuomintang veteran Shi Qingyang called himself his "brother", Luo Yaoguo was stunned and stunned, and it took him a while to react, with a humble expression on his face, he said: "I don't dare to ask for advice, the younger generation just thinks that Sichuan should also enter political training after the Battle of Pingchuan. Same as the rest of the southern provinces."

"Xunzheng?" Shi Qingyang laughed out loud, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Brother Fuwen really thinks that with your [-] elite soldiers, you can defeat Sichuan and return the people of Sichuan to a bright future? You are too underestimating The heroes of Sichuan, too underestimate our Xiong Jinfan."

"Mr. Jin?" Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly. He hadn't seen this provincial chairman since he arrived in Sichuan. This man seemed to be avoiding him intentionally.Maybe he can't accept his "boss"?Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly: "I have no intention of competing with Duke Jin for power this time. When I equalize those Sichuan warlords, I will leave. At that time, the boss of Sichuan will still be Duke Jin."

Shi Qingyang shook his head with a smile, and said, "Eradicate the Sichuan warlords? Do you think Xiong Jinfan is not good enough? Didn't those Sichuan warlords develop and grow under his defense zone system? Xiong Jinfan is the chief of these Sichuan warlords, but he just couldn't control them. Those little brothers are nothing more. Now you bring troops to Sichuan and beat up those Sichuan army little brothers, which is just good for him to use for himself. When they all hang the Kuomintang brand, how are you going to deal with them? "

If this is the case, what should we do?Luo Yaoguo was silent for a moment.

……

After Xiong Kewu got the news of Wu's victory, he had secretly returned to Chongqing from Qijiang.For Sun Yat-sen to install a camp in Chongqing on his head, and to appoint a junior Luo Yaoguo as the camp director, Xiong Kewu has long regarded it as a great shame, so he has been hiding in Qijiang these days.But now it's impossible not to go back to Chongqing. In just two days, the national army commanded by Luo Yaoguo has gained an overwhelming advantage. These Sichuan warlords are really unstoppable!How could I lose to them back then?

Thinking of this, Chief Xiong Kewu let out a long breath, looking at the prosperous street scene of Chongqing outside the window of the mansion, he always felt bad.He had a premonition that this great Sichuan would soon fall into the hands of others.

"Mr. Jin, the guest is here." Secretary Chen Guzhi opened the door and entered the office, telling him that there was a visitor, and this was the guest that Xiong Kewu had made an appointment with when he was in Qijiang.

"Please." Xiong Kewu only said one word lightly, and did not go out to greet him. He was really arrogant.

The visitor is Wu Yuzhang, who is known as a golden article. Now he is in charge of contacting the upper echelons of the Sichuan Army in Sichuan, which naturally includes Xiong Kewu. The two of them have met more than once, so it is more casual.

"Brother Shuren is here, but I can't greet you from far away, I'm disrespectful, I'm disrespectful." Seeing Wu Yuzhang walk in with a smile on his face, Xiong Kewu smiled and clasped his fists, and said again: "Brother Shuren, do you have any advice for coming here? "

"Don't dare to advise." Wu Yuzhang could see that Xiong Kewu was not in the mood, so he ignored his rudeness and said with a smile: "My little brother is here to congratulate Brother Jinfan who is about to take over the Sichuan administration."

The Kuomintang army defeated the main force of the Sichuan Army in Wusheng County. Sichuan is about to fall into the hands of the Kuomintang, and Xiong Kewu is the provincial chairman of the Kuomintang. Naturally, he is the biggest beneficiary. It seems that he should be happy, right?

"Hehe, congratulations, congratulations." Xiong Kewu squeezed out some smiles, and then sighed: "It's just that I don't know how long I will be the chairman? The Prime Minister is now very fond of Xie Huisheng (Xie Chi), I am afraid that the leader of the nine-member group will not have many good days."

"Little brother is here for this." Wu Yuzhang smiled faintly, took out an envelope from his pocket, handed it to Chen Guzhi, and said, "This is Liu Ziqian's personal letter. He wants to work for Duke Jin now."

Liu Wenhui, known as "Taoist Duobao", is also a master who makes friends widely. In order not to be swallowed up by the rightists of the Kuomintang, he also has contacts with the CCP.Before the Battle of Pingchuan, he had predicted that the Kuomintang army had a great chance of winning, so he wrote a personal letter to Wu Yuzhang, asking him to help contact Xiong Kewu, and see if he could use Xiong Kewu to hang up the Kuomintang's signboard and continue to maintain independence. situation.

"Bring me to take a look." Xiong Kewu's face changed a lot. He took the letter from the secretary and opened it. It turned out to be a letter of loyalty from Liu Wenhui. , I admire Xiong Kewu very much, and hope to follow around in the future, but Xiong Kewu's order is to follow.

To say that these heroes in Sichuan are still extremely intelligent, they immediately pinched Luo Yaoguo's Achilles' heel.Speaking of fighting, there were An Sihua and Li Zongren, plus Luo Yaoguo himself, three of the four major gold medalists of the Kuomintang came, and those generals of the Sichuan Army couldn't beat them no matter what.But playing politics is different.In this time and space, Luo Yaoguo's culprit is that he must maintain the unity of the Kuomintang and avoid a civil war among the Kuomintang.So playing a blue sky and white sun flag is really the best way to deal with Luo Yaoguo.It's just that you can't just buy a flag in a store, you have to have a hard-working Kuomintang leader to award it. For example, Deng Xihou followed Yang Huchen's path and became a Kuomintang leftist.And Liu Wenhui wants to join forces with Xiong Kewu.

Now Xiong Kewu's basic troops have been reorganized into the No. 20 Sixth Division and the 27th Division of the National Army, and it is not very easy to command.In addition, Lai Xinhui supported him, so he was able to direct the movement.However, Lai Xinhui only has 2 troops, and his military strength is indeed a bit weak. Liu Wenhui has [-] troops. If he can use it for his own use, it is indeed a good choice.This time Wu Yuzhang and the Communist Party did help a lot.

Thinking of this, Xiong Kewu stood up, cupped his hands at Wu Yuzhang, and said, "Thank you, Brother Shuren, for running around. The Communist Party is a friend of mine, and I, Xiong Kewu, have made an appointment! If your party needs my help in Sichuan in the future, feel free to ask. I will do what I can, little brother.”

Chapter 0189 The Kuomintang does not fight the Kuomintang ([-])

After sending Shi Qingyang away, Luo Yaoguo's head started to hurt again. Why are things in the Republic of China so complicated?Originally thought that entering Sichuan was just to deal with a bunch of warlords, isn't it just a fight!With An Sihua and Li Zongren, two gold medal fighters, and elites like the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army, how could this battle not be won?After winning the battle and then disbanding most of the Sichuan army and downsizing the essence, wouldn't this Sichuan be leveled?Then the thirteen provinces (districts) in the south began to train politics, concentrate financial resources to develop heavy industry, and wait until 12 years before fighting Japan to the death.How nice it is!Why is it so difficult?

Luo Yaoguo paced back and forth in his office, thinking about which warlords of the Sichuan Army would hang up the KMT banner and continue to dominate.Lai Xinhui is sure, he is now a member of Xiong Kewu's family, and Liu Xiang is also possible. This historical Sichuan king would not willingly be a soldier who obeyed orders.There are also Tian Songyao and Deng Xihou. Two of Tian Songyao's divisions and one of Deng Xihou's divisions have already surrendered to the Kuomintang. They now have a total of 5 people left. It seems that Taoist Liu Wenhui of Duobao will definitely join Xiong Kewu. Now that Yang Sen has defeated Sichuan But he is the most powerful.Finally, there are the warlords of Yang Sen's family. Once Yang Sen falls, they will definitely have to find their own way out.Add up all these miscellaneous things, if there is no 20, there will be 18!Just paying them military salaries costs tens of millions every year, and when they stay in Sichuan, the national government has to garrison additional troops in Sichuan to guard against them.At most, Sichuan could earn this amount of money in a year, and by the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it would be 600 billion!Hehe, it can be used in steel factories to produce more than [-] million tons, which is much more than the output of Japan before the war of aggression against China.

"Fu Gong." At this time, Yan Wu, the director of operations and operations, walked in quietly. He is a graduate of Whampoa's first class.What he held in his hand was a lot of telegrams he had just copied.Opening the document in his hand, Yan Wu said: "It was a joint call from Deng Xihou and Tian Songyao. The two of them announced that they would accept the guidance of the North China and Northeast Political Branches of the Kuomintang, join the Kuomintang, and reorganize their units into the Shaanxi National Army."

"Crack!" A teacup hit the ground heavily and was smashed into pieces. Luo Yaoguo's face was gloomy and terrible. He gritted his teeth and said, "Deng Yanda! You bastard! Your hand is too long!"

"Fu Gong, do you want to consult Beiping?" Yan Wu saw Luo Yaoguo getting so angry for the first time, he hesitated and said: "Maybe it's just Yang Huchen who wants to recruit them to help fight Hanzhong? It has nothing to do with General Zesheng Relationship."

"Hehe, if Yang Huchen had no one behind him, would he dare to accept Deng Xihou and Tian Donggua? Wouldn't he be afraid of being swallowed by these two guys?" Luo Yaoguo let out a sigh of relief, calmed down, and said, "Please Zeng Kuoqing and He Zhonghan Come on." Yan Wu is an honest person, although he is reliable but useless, it is a pity that Dai Li and Wan Yanhao are not around, so he can only discuss with Zeng Kuoqing and He Zhonghan.

The two "dog-headed military advisers" were standing outside Luo Yaoguo's office. As soon as they heard their names being called from inside, they quickly opened the door and came in, without bothering Yan Wu to invite them.

Looking at the two of them, Luo Yaoguo thought to himself that his students were different, no wonder Lao Jiang wanted to use them more.Luo Yaoguo sighed, and said: "I thought that the battle of Pingchuan could be solved with guns, but I didn't expect that there would be such a trouble. Do you have any suggestions?" As for who is the trouble, Luo Yaoguo doesn't need to say, the two People naturally know it well.Those who continue to engage in warlord separatism under the banner of the Kuomintang are troublesome.

He Zhonghan was the first to propose his own solution. His eyes showed a trace of murder, and he said sharply: "The students think that this matter should be reported to the Central Executive Committee, and they should be asked to expel these people from the party, and then go on a conscript to completely defeat them."

Zeng Kuoqing shook his head, disapproving of He Zhonghan's method, he said with a smile: "The heroes in Sichuan will not only use these methods, they will definitely use their strength in Guangzhou, and Xiong Jingong has not completely lost the trust of the Prime Minister, otherwise this The provincial chairman is long gone."

After all, Zeng Kuoqing has a lot of experience. He knows the double-faced methods of the heroes in Sichuan. They are not Wu Peifu. Superficial skills will also be done.It may not be so easy to go to the Central Executive Committee to file a complaint, and even in Sun Yat-sen's place there are people who will speak for Xiong Kewu, such as Feng Tian.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Seeing Zeng Kuoqing's confident look, Luo Yaoguo knew that he had a solution.

"Fugong should ask the principal, he will definitely have a solution." Zeng Kuoqing reminded with a slight smile.

Ask Chiang Kai-shek for advice?It seems that's all there is to it.Lao Jiang is not very good at winning with troops and governing the country, but he still has a way to fight against warlords.Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly, and said, "Let's do it like this, Mu Yi (Zeng Kuoqing), please help me draft the telegram."

……

A brand-new Ford sedan drove quietly into the gate of Xiong Mansion under the cover of night. The curtains of the windows of the car were tightly drawn, and the license plate was deliberately covered with a white cloth, as if trying to conceal something deliberately.The car drove slowly to the main entrance of a three-story western-style building in the mansion and stopped.As soon as the car door opened, a middle-aged man in his late forties and wearing a suit came out, and then quickly walked into the mansion.

Xiong Kewu was standing in the living room inside the gate to greet him. The person who came was his confidant general, Dan Nugang, the commander of the Tenth Army. The Tenth Army was adapted from the army that Xiong Kewu brought out of Sichuan, and it was his foundation.But looking at the frowns of Xiong Kewu and Dan Nugang, this army might be taken away.

"Brother Nu Gang, sit down and talk slowly." Xiong Kewu smiled slightly, and asked the servant to serve tea, and the two sat face to face on the sofa in the living room.Xiong Kewu asked again: "How is the situation of the troops? How much can we still control?"

But Nu Gang looked at Xiong Kewu, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "No, I can't control it anymore. Most of the low-level officers have been asked to replace them, and now even more than half of the regiment-level officers have been dismissed, and three There is also Zhu Shaoliang among the division commanders who belongs to them."

"Is it that serious?" Xiong Kewu felt a chill in his heart. He already knew that the right wing of the Kuomintang was reorganizing his army, but the army commander and division commander were all his people, so it wasn't a big problem.He frowned slightly, and complained: "Nugang, you just let them run amok? Could it be that our brothers are all made of mud?"

But Nu Gang smiled wryly and said: "This started in Guizhou. In fact, as soon as the army started to reorganize, we have less and less power. Once the personnel power and financial power are taken over, how much can we control? Don't you know? Seeing that there are officials who are paid and paid to follow us?"

"The key is money!" Xiong Kewu frowned more and more. Ever since he started his career as a warlord, the word "money" has always been his heartache. Thinking of money makes his brain ache.How can he, a long-clothed soldier, control those military leaders?It's not by spending money to buy it.Without money, there is no army, without army, there is no power, and without power, there is nothing.

"We still have to have our own territory!" But Nu Gang continued Xiong Kewu's words and said: "If our Tenth Army had its own defense area to raise its own salary instead of the Ministry of the Army, this matter would definitely not have come to this point! Brother Jinfan, there is no suspense in the battle of Pingchuan, and the next step is to distribute the results. If we want to continue to be the overlord of one party, the key is to have our own territory, and there will always be an army if we have a territory."

Xiong Kewu picked up his teacup and took a sip, wondering how to build a territory.Although he is nominally the chairman of Sichuan Province, the financial and military power in Sichuan is not in his hands. He can only collect taxes according to the regulations of the Nationalist Government, and most of them have to be handed over in the end. The provincial government has very limited control.

"Brother Jinfan." Dan Nugang smiled, and said again: "Now that Yang Sen has collapsed, there are still many small army leaders who will also collapse together. It shouldn't be difficult for us to get a piece of land, right? As long as we have The Tenth Army can still compete for land and money, and even if we can’t, we can form a new army!”

"Defense zone system, it seems that this is the key! Otherwise, how can we have a territory? Are we going to rebel like Chen Jingcun?" Xiong Kewu stood up and paced in the living room.He knew that if Sichuan's territory and financial resources were once controlled by the Kuomintang, these powerful factions would definitely be demolished.At present, we still need to firmly grasp the defense zone system, this money-scraping system with Sichuan characteristics, and only in this way can we unite the Sichuan army to oppose the annexation.

Chapter 0190 The Kuomintang does not fight the Kuomintang ([-])

The melee between warlords in the Republic of China can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the more the country fought, the poorer it became, and the more soldiers fought.Generally speaking, anyone who is a warlord and wants to do a good job in this promising career of being a general will like to have more soldiers.And when there are too many soldiers, you will have a headache when you pay your salary. In order to cure your headache, you have to try your best to expand your financial resources and scrape land by any means. .As for developing the economy, benefiting the hometown, and waiting until the people have money in their pockets, Yan Laoxi is probably the only one in history, but I haven't seen him end up in a good way.At least it is far worse than Xiong Kewu, who invented the defense zone system to develop the Sichuan Army.

The "defense zone system" is a unique system for the Sichuan warlords to scrape land. The inventor of this system is Xiong Kewu. This so-called "defense zone system" is to hand over all the civil affairs and finances of the military garrisons to the warlords, big and small, and let them search at will. to expand strength.The "defense zone system" is indispensable for the Sichuan Civil War to be fought like this. It is also entirely due to this "defense zone system" that a province in Sichuan can generate so much oil and water to feed hundreds of thousands of troops.In other provinces, usually only large soldiers can also serve as regents, and small and medium soldiers such as regimental commanders and brigade commanders can only manage the army and not the people, unless they also serve as official positions such as guardian envoys.And in Sichuan, often a regiment leader can also manage a small piece of land, he is the local emperor of the defense zone where the troops are located!Huang Muyan, the leftist general of the Kuomintang who is actively demanding progress, is the leader of a county in history!The "Taoist of Many Treasures" Liu Wenhui was assigned to the rich and rich land of Xu Mansion as the brigade commander. With the hard work of his fifth brother Liu Wencai, he became a big warlord.In other provinces, warlords often have a lot of vacancies in their troops, and few are overstaffed. Only the Sichuan Army usually has one soldier per division number, and one division number per brigade. It can be seen that the Sichuanese have eaten this Xiong Kewu What a pain!And Xiong Kewu is still clinging to the defense zone system and refuses to let go.
