Beiyang reactionaries

But suddenly a stunned young man like Duan Xun appeared.

Chen Heng was completely ignored.

It was his own efforts to suppress the main force of Cai E's Yunnan army, making Cai E's Yunnan army unable to go north at all.In this way, Chen Heng is like an abandoned child.The Sichuan faction ignored him, Duan Xun ignored him, Duan Qirui ignored him, and even the National Defense Army ignored him.

It was Yuan Shikai who wanted to support Chen Heng.

But what's the use.Yuan Shikai is now besieged on all sides, how can he help Chen Heng.Now that Yuan Shikai said something, the people below ignored him, so what was the use of his words.

In a place like Sichuan where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, fists are the best.

Duan Xun used his strength to keep the major forces in Sichuan honest, blocked the Yunnan army in Luzhou, and made Chen Heng a show.Duan Xun became the governor of Sichuan, and Chen Heng was only appointed as the Sichuan observation envoy. Chen Heng had already accepted his fate.Because Chen Heng believes that as long as he gets through this difficulty, with his qualifications, he still has a chance to rise again.After all, those local powerful factions in Sichuan may not all like Duan Xun.

Therefore, Chen Heng was actually very low-key during this time.The Ministry of Shangzheng entered Chengdu to occupy important places in Chengdu, and Chen Heng did not make trouble.

But Duan Xun'er obviously didn't want to let him go.

Have a look.

The newspapers almost blamed Yuan Shikai for proclaiming himself emperor on himself.He said that he seduced Yuan Shikai, how he acted, how he supported him.Anyway, what it means is that you, Chen Heng, are the culprit who encouraged Yuan Shikai to become emperor.Without Chen Heng, Yuan Shikai would not have come to the point of proclaiming himself emperor.

what is this.

Outright slander.

Chen Heng is really wronged, not just ordinary wronged.Although I was regarded as Yuan Shikai's most important person, I didn't have the ability to influence whether Yuan Shikai should be emperor or not.At most, I just agree with it.

But what the newspaper said was that Chen Heng was the culprit behind Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne, and he was a treacherous minister who was seduced by Yuan Shikai's side.At the moment when the national defense movement is at its climax, it is simply too much for you to hold such a shit pot on yourself.

This is a stigma that simply cannot be washed away.

"Mr. Nanhu (Hu Egong), what do you think?"

Chen Heng was a little flustered.

So I can only ask my staff member Hu Egong.Hu Egong also looked at the newspaper, looked at Chen Heng with some pity, and sighed in his heart.In fact, when the War to Protect the Nation began, Chen Heng's attitude was problematic.

I want to please both sides, but now I am not pleasing both sides.

Cai E and the others blamed Chen Heng for not restraining Duan Xun, which caused heavy losses to the National Defense Army.On the other hand, the Beiyang Army blamed Chen Heng for being double-decker and flirting with the National Defense Army.It can be said that Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, and both sides are not human.

Look at the others.

For example, Cao Kun, Duan Xun, and Wu Peifu fought in a panic during the National Defense War, and they performed very well in the war.Although the movement to protect the country is a general trend now, even if the top leaders of the Beiyang Army backed down a step, they would not touch people like Cao Kun, Duan Xun, and Wu Peifu.

why?

If these people were chosen to sacrifice because of pressure, then who would work for the Beiyang Army in the future.So these three people don't say that the top of the Beiyang Army will protect them, and they will be promoted.It was the one who was defeated in this war, but as long as he was loyal to the Beiyang Army, such as Zhang Jingyao, the senior officials of the Beiyang Army would reward him.

On the contrary, if the war of protecting the country was not fought well, the generals of the Beiyang Army who were double-faced and three-handed would settle their accounts after the fall.

Including Wu Xiangzhen, Feng Yuxiang, Tang Tianxi, and the Chen Heng in front of me.Regardless of the reason why these people did not perform well in the War to Protect the Country, they are all generals who are not trustworthy in the eyes of the senior officials of the Beiyang Army.Now Duan Xun puts the hat of Yuan Shikai's restoration on Chen Heng again, which makes Chen Heng fall into a place of eternal doom and become the target of everyone calling for beating.

"General, let's go. Leave Sichuan, otherwise I can't guess what Duan Xun will do. This kid Duan Xun has always been bold."

"Walk?"

Chen Heng could only smile wryly.

It seems that I lost, lost to a young man who is not yet 30 years old.Duan Xun has not come to Chengdu yet, if he insists on staying in Chengdu, Duan Xun might arrest him.

At this time, I still have to be interesting.

Chen Heng is a smart person and already understood what Duan Xun meant.Duan Xun wanted to be smarter and leave Chengdu.

"Hey--"

71 public opinion 2

"Brother Jinfan, look, all the newspapers are talking about this recently."

Ping Shan.

Sichuan is no longer fighting, and there is also an army stationed here in Pingshan, with a large number of more than 5000 people.This force is the Sichuan recruiting army that followed the Yunnan army into Sichuan. The leader of the Sichuan recruiting army is a well-known figure in Sichuan.It was Xiong Kewu, the leader of the Sichuan Revolutionary Party.

Next to him is Dan Maoxin, the chief of staff of this army.

National War.

The main force is the Yunnan Army, followed by the Guizhou Army and the Guangxi Army, and the Sichuan Army is basically soy sauce.Because during the second revolution, Xiong Kewu raised the banner of anti-Yuan, and was wiped out by Zhou Jun's First Division of the Sichuan Army and Liu Cunhou's troops who were the commander of the Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army at that time.

In addition, after Chen Heng entered Sichuan, he continued to suppress and reorganize the Sichuan Army, which led to the Sichuan Army having little strength when the War to Protect the Nation broke out.Therefore, in the War to Protect the Country, the Sichuan Army could only play soy sauce.

Xiong Kewu is famous.

Not only in Sichuan, but also in the entire revolutionary party.Whether Xiong Kewu or Dan Maoxin, they all participated in the Huanghuagang Uprising back then.And during the Sichuan Uprising in [-], Xiong Kewu was one of the leaders of the Sichuan League.After the Revolution of [-], most of the five divisions of the Sichuan Army were commanders of the former Sichuan New Army, with the only exception being Xiong Kewu.At that time, Xiong Kewu served as the commander of the Fifth Division of the Sichuan Army.

But it is obvious that the Yunnan Army does not want Xiong Kewu to be too powerful.Because Xiong Kewu is a leader of the Sichuan Revolutionary Party, he has a high reputation in Sichuan and has a strong appeal.The Yunnan Army's entry into Sichuan was not just to oppose Yuan Shikai's proclaiming himself emperor.Tang Jiyao was a supporter of the Great Southwest Project.The so-called Great Southwest Plan means that several provinces in the Southwest will become one, or unite to form a force.And Tang Jiyao hoped that the Southwest would be led by the Yunnan Army, that is, he, Tang Jiyao, would lead.Tang Jiyao was an ambitious Yunnan warlord who always hoped to compete in the Central Plains based on the southwest.

Therefore, I am very afraid of Xiong Kewu, who has a high reputation in Sichuan, and his support is limited.Tang Jiyao was afraid that once Xiong Kewu became stronger, it would affect the progress of the Yunnan Army's Great Southwest Plan.

Therefore, Xiong Kewu is short of money, weapons, and ammunition here.The War to Protect the Nation broke out, and as soon as Xiong Kewu entered Sichuan, many troops from the original Sichuan army defected to Xiong Kewu.Especially after the Revolution of 5000, the officers of the Fifth Division of the Sichuan Army led by Xiong Kewu defected to Xiong Kewu one after another.Therefore, in a short period of time, Xiong Kewu had already gathered more than [-] people, and there was a huge momentum all of a sudden.But there is no money, no looting, no ammunition, no matter how many troops there are, they are just mobs.But now with the failure of Cai E's Yunnan army, Xiong Kewu can only nest in the small place of Pingshan.

Miserable.

Troops had a hard time.Not to mention the lack of weapons and ammunition, there is even a serious shortage of food and drink.If it weren't for Xiong Kewu's prestige, this army would have disintegrated long ago.

"What's going on recently? Yesterday I saw that the Chongqing business group collectively condemned the Yunnan army for selling Yunnan soil (opium) in Sichuan. Why are so many soldiers coming out to criticize today?"

Yunnan soil.

Who doesn't know that the Yunnan army uses Yunnan soil as military expenses.If it weren't for the Yunnan soil, the main force of the National Defense Army, the Yunnan Army, would have collapsed long ago.Don't care about the bravery of the National Protectorate Army. When the National Protectorate Army first came to Yongning, they almost mutinied because of military expenses.If it weren't for Cai E's high prestige and timely suppression, the National Defense Army would have collapsed long ago.

No money, no matter what army you are.

If it hadn’t been for the Yunnan army to sell a large amount of Yunnan soil, including those sold in Sichuan and Hunan, what would the Yunnan army have used to pay these soldiers and buy military rations for the army.

It's a very common thing, blah blah blah.

How can Xiong Kewu care about these things now.

So I just felt a little surprised, and didn't expect anything.Xiong Kewu is now thinking about the fate of his own army, and also thinking about the future of Sichuan.Xiong Kewu is one of the typical characters described in the history of Commander-in-Chief Zhu, how a passionate young man transformed into a warlord.

To be honest, Xiong Kewu later became a great warlord, which is closely related to the general environment.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Xiong Kewu was a passionate young man who was not afraid of life and death.It's just that after the Revolution of [-], he failed again and again, and the desperation of reality made Xiong Kewu slowly become a warlord who only knew how to protect his own interests.Especially after the Civil War.

In history, the war of protecting the country was won.

The Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army entered Sichuan, and they entered Sichuan with a victorious attitude, occupying the best places in Sichuan, and controlling Sichuan Salt, which has the largest proportion of Sichuan's tax revenue.Then bully the Sichuan Army.
