Beiyang reactionaries

There is also Liu Mingzhao (Liu Bocheng), the captain of the fourth detachment of the Eastern Sichuan National Defense Army, who is known as the god of war in later generations.There are also some other units of the Eastern Sichuan National Defense Army. Regardless of their detachment, there are only 400 people, but these leaders are all from military academies and have a long history.During the war to protect the country, these troops caused a lot of trouble to the logistics of the Beiyang Army.

And they are all young.

Duan Xun hopes to include them in his team and enrich his team of young officers.If Duan Xun hadn't had such an idea, Duan Xun would have sent a large army to exterminate them. How could they let hundreds of them jump around in eastern Sichuan, which is not far from Chongqing.

So Xiong Kewu is more important.

"Brother Xinye (Yang Wei), long time no see."

The three are very familiar, having known each other for more than ten years.They were all comrades in the revolution back then, and even after the Xinhai Year, they were still very good comrades.I just didn't expect this meeting to be like this.

Xiong Kewu's temper was a bit impatient, so after seeing Yang Wei, he talked a lot.

dissatisfied.

Xiong Kewu was really dissatisfied.He didn't understand why Yang Wei defected to Duan Xun.Yang Wei's defection to Duan Xun in this way was of great help to Duan Xun.After all, Yang Wei is very famous in Sichuan.

His revolutionary spirit of persevering in the face of danger to his life several times was admired by many young students.Moreover, Yang Wei had revolutionized in Sichuan in his early years, and later served as the director of the Sichuan Police Department, and he also had a wide network of contacts in Sichuan.

Although Duan Xun is powerful, he is an outsider after all.Even if the position of the Sichuan Governor is firmly established, it is still very difficult to stabilize the situation in Sichuan and control Sichuan.The xenophobia in Sichuan is very serious. Duan Xun used the army to control Chengdu and Chongqing, and it is difficult to control other places.Sichuan is so big that Duan Xuncai's troops of tens of thousands can only control some important places.Other places still need to rely on those powerful factions from Sichuan, but those people seem to give Duan Xun face, but it is impossible to really rely on Duan Xun.

Therefore, Sichuan will still be very turbulent, but Yang Wei suddenly came out to assist Duan Xun. Using his influence and connections, he immediately helped Duan Xun stabilize the situation in Sichuan.The time for Duan Xun to control Sichuan was greatly shortened.

why?

Xiong Kewu still couldn't figure it out.If Yang Wei decided to defect to Duan Xun after the War to Protect the Nation, Xiong Kewu could still understand.After all, Duan Xun is now the Governor of Sichuan, a veritable King of Sichuan.

Sichuan cannot always fight wars.

After the War to Protect the Nation is over, Sichuan still has to live on.As a native of Sichuan, Yang Wei can understand why he went to Duan Xun to stabilize Sichuan.But why Yang Wei was still fighting on the front line, when Duan Xun's troops and the National Defense Army were fighting to the death, he defected to Duan Xun.It's like being a traitor to the Revolutionary Party.

Yang Wei knew Xiong Kewu's temper, so he just smiled.

Then the two of them were invited into the house.After everyone sat down, Yang Weicai said: "Brother Jin Fan, Brother Nu Gang, I think you should know who I am. I am not a person who covets riches and honor, nor am I a person who climbs dragons and phoenixes, and I am not one who likes to argue. But we are friends, former comrades-in-arms, and like-minded comrades, and I don’t want you to misunderstand. So I would like to defend myself today.”

"Brother Xinye, we have not doubted you, nor will we question your integrity."

But Mao Xin immediately explained.

Compared with Xiong Kewu, Mao Xin is much smoother.Although we were good friends and comrades-in-arms back then, we may have to eat in one place in the future.It's not good for anyone if we fall out today.Especially when Yang Wei is currently valued so highly by Duan Xun, maybe he will have to eat under Yang Wei's hands in the future.

And Dan Maoxin really believed in Yang Wei's integrity.

After all, Yang Wei has lived and died several times, but he has not changed his philosophy.

Yang Wei waved his hand and said: "Brother Nugang (Dan Maoxin), some words have been broken and crushed, so that everyone will be less jealous. I defected to General Duan because I thought General Duan was worthy of my defection. He He is the person we need in Sichuan. I think that General Duan can achieve what we have wanted to achieve for so many years, so I will join him. I believe in him, trust him, and hope to assist him in achieving great things."

"Brother Xinye, you are exaggerating."

Xiong Kewu was even angrier when he heard Yang Wei's defense.

Immediately said: "He Duan Xun is just a little hairy kid with no hair. I heard that he just left the military academy to lead the army in the second year of the Republic of China. He has been studying in the military academy since he was a child. By marrying Duan Qirui My niece, I just got to my current position. You still expect him to achieve great things? And what we have been pursuing is to realize the republican government and the Three People's Principles on the land of China. How can he, a general from the Beiyang Army, be with the We are after the same thing.”

Xiong Kewu didn't give Yang Wei face at all.

Now Xiong Kewu still has some blood in his heart.Of course, there is only the last bit of blood left. As long as this blood disappears, Xiong Kewu will become the warlord in history who swings from side to side and only knows his own interests.

But now I still keep a little bit, so I am even more angry.

"Brother Jinfan (Xiong Kewu), people should not be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Let me ask you a question, this time Cai Songpo (Cai E) brought the main force of the Yunnan Army into Sichuan, and fought against General Duan's troops several times. What was the result? You two should know the strength of the Yunnan Army, and you two also know the ability of Cai Songpo. But General Duan drove Cai Songpo out of Sichuan by himself. Do you still think that he only relied on Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui) to climb up? people?"

"Humph."

Xiong Kewu snorted coldly, but did not answer.

Because the matter is irrefutable.Duan Xun absolutely suppressed Cai E's Yunnan army by himself in Sichuan.Cao Kun performed well in Qijiang, but he was not as wonderful as Duan Xun suppressed Cai Elai.

"I have seen countless troops in these years, but I can say with certainty that among the current Chinese troops, in terms of tactical capabilities and combat effectiveness, none of them is an opponent of General Duan. Even the Sixth Army of the Beiyang Army No one can compare with General Duan's troops one-on-one."

"Brother Xinye, you are exaggerating."

Xiong Kewu had a look of disbelief.

Although Xiong Kewu doesn't like the Beiyang Army, he still appreciates the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army.Even the Yunnan Army, which has been in the southwest for many years, may not necessarily be as powerful as the Beiyang Army.But Yang Wei said that Duan Xun's army is like the number one army in the world.

Seeing Xiong Kewu's expression, Yang Wei smiled and said, "Brother Jinfan, I have personally seen the battle between General Duan's army and Cai Songpo's Yunnan army in Luzhou. You will believe what I say when you see it with your own eyes. Speaking of which, look at his 'New Three People's Principles'. In my opinion, his understanding of the Three People's Principles is deeper and clearer than that of Mr. Sun (Sun Yat-sen).

Yang Wei took out Duan Xun's "New Three People's Principles" while talking.

ideal?Belief?

Yang Wei came to persuade Xiong Kewu and Dan Maoxin this time, in fact, to give Xiong Kewu and Dan Maoxin a step down.Xiong Kewu and Dan Maoxin are not alone, they have more than 5000 people in their hands.

This is not only their bargaining chip, but also their burden.

Without these people, there would be no need for the two of them to negotiate at all, and the two of them would leave as soon as they said they would.With the abilities and connections of the two of them, there are plenty of places to go when they leave Sichuan.But with 5000 people, they certainly have the capital to bargain with Duan Xun, but it is also because of these people that they can only negotiate with Duan Xun.Because they can't solve the eating and drinking of these 5000 people.

Xiong Kewu and the others also know that no matter how they are related to the Yunnan Army, they are also from Sichuan, and their army is called the Sichuan Army.For the same National Defense Army, the troops of the Yunnan Army are directly called the National Defense Army, and when it comes to the Sichuan Army, they are the National Protector Sichuan Army, the Sichuan Rebellion Army, and so on.It can be seen from the name that you are the Sichuan Army.As a Sichuan army, it is impossible to receive much attention in Yunnan.Still the same sentence, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel.

So of course the best result is to stay in Sichuan.

But why did they stay in Sichuan? They were originally a unit of the National Defense Army, and Duan Xun was a unit of the Beiyang Army, so it felt uncomfortable to surrender like this.So Yang Wei gave them a step down and let them know that they were not greedy for wealth, but because they saw that Duan Xun had something worth following, so they went to Duan Xun.

psychological step.

"Oh?"

Regardless of whether it is a psychological step or not, at least this step must be attractive enough.Xiong Kewu and Dan Maoxin were already very surprised after reading the previous paragraph.

Three People's Principles.

This is Sun Yat-sen's core political program.

At that time, everyone was confused and only knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was to be overthrown. When some people even shouted the slogan "Anti-Qing and Fuming", the Three People's Principles proposed by Sun Yat-sen did not know how many young students were affected.For people who are confused, this kind of political program is very important.

Sun Yat-sen told these young people that although China's goal was to drive out the Tartars, it was to restore the Han family.But the ultimate goal is not to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, nor to change a Han emperor.Instead, it is necessary to completely end the monarchy and establish a republic.This political program is absolutely earth-shattering and epoch-making.Sun Yat-sen has been standing tall for many years, in fact, it is because of this.

Some people worked with Sun Yat-sen, some felt that Sun Yat-sen could not achieve great things, or some people were disappointed by Sun Yat-sen's will and finally left Sun Yat-sen.There are also many warlords who used Sun Yat-sen's appeal, but quickly abandoned him.But Sun Yat-sen went up and down, and he was able to rise. What is the reason?

The reason is that a group of old people left, and there are still a group of young students who support Sun Yat-sen's proposition and go to Sun Yat-sen one after another.What they defected to was not Sun Yat-sen himself, but the political platform put forward by Sun Yat-sen.Sun Yat-sen was no longer a person, but a symbol, a banner of the Three People's Principles.Therefore, no matter how Sun Yat-sen fell to the bottom, he was able to rise again in the end relying on these people.But the contemporaries of Sun Yat-sen, regardless of whether they were former comrades-in-arms or opponents, all disappeared in history.In terms of skill and ability, there are many people who are better than Sun Yat-sen, but in the end, only Sun Yat-sen survived and walked at the forefront of history.This is the importance of a political platform.Of course, this is a modern saying. If we look at it according to the ancient saying, it means that everything needs to be justified.

But just as Yang Wei said, the "New Three People's Principles" written by Duan Xun is not only richer and deeper in connotation, but also has a wider scope.Duan Xun explained Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles more thoroughly and made the scope wider.

Of course, what surprised Xiong Kewu and Dan Maoxin was that Duan Xun wrote many steps, including how to realize the Three People's Principles.This is a field that Sun Yat-sen has not dabbled in, and Sun Yat-sen only talked about these in general.

"Is this written by Duan Xun?"

Xiong Kewu was very surprised.
