Beiyang reactionaries

Therefore, Gu Pinzhen's status in the Yunnan Army was inferior to that of Tang Jiyao and Luo Peijin, but when it came to their influence on the Yunnan Army, neither Tang Jiyao nor Luo Peijin dared to underestimate Gu Pinzhen.

So Ropekin was even angrier.

What does Gu Pinzhen want to do?Those young officers are low-ranking and young, so they don't understand the current situation. Gu Pinzhen doesn't know.The small people in Yunnan are poor, if there is no opium, then it really is nothing.

"I'm doing it for the good of our Yunnan army, and I don't want our Yunnan army's reputation to be damaged."

Gu Pinzhen didn't want to let it go at all.

"Cough-cough-"

Luo Peijin confronted these young officers directly, and clashed with Gu Pinzhen, at this time Tang Jiyao coughed.Tang Jiyao's position is still relatively stable.Because he has qualifications and ability, he can be regarded as a more convincing governor.

"Stop arguing."

After Tang Jiyao said this, everyone retreated to their positions.Tang Jiyao glanced at these officers with a fierce look in his eyes.In this war to protect the country, the Yunnan army suffered a disastrous defeat in Sichuan.Fortunately, there has been some progress in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, and it is not considered a loss-making business.

But it still made Tang Jiyao very aggrieved.

To complete his Great Southwest Plan, Sichuan is the most important place and the core province of the Great Southwest Plan.Sichuan has enough food, enough population, and enough money.At this juncture, this kind of thing actually happened.

At this time, nothing can happen to the Yunnan Army.

"I have decided to strictly investigate opium in Yunnan and the opium trade."

As soon as Tang Jiyao finished speaking, Gu Pinzhen and the young officers below all came out and said, "The governor is wise."

Looking at these young officers, Tang Jiyao's mood became worse and worse.Tang Jiyao was very proud of looking at these young officers under his command before.At present, among the major warlords in China, except for the Beiyang Army, which warlord has so many talents under his command.The Dian Army does not lack descendants, on the contrary, these young officers are better than each other, so that the Dian Army can continue to maintain a strong combat effectiveness and will not let the Dian Army decline.

In the past, these people were treasures in Cai E's hands.Cai E has always hoped to use these young officers to replace some of the more experienced generals of the Yunnan Army.Because those people had no lower qualifications than Tang Jiyao, it was more difficult for Tang Jiyao to control them.In Tang Jiyao's plan, these young officers of the Dian Army must be easier to control than those veteran generals, so they have always been highly valued.

But looking at them now is very annoying.

Just now one by one stood up to speak, completely forcing myself.Where is his own officer.No matter how capable they are, if they don't listen to their own words, then it's useless.

cannot be trusted.

Looking at these officers, Tang Jiyao suddenly felt strange.Especially his old classmate Gu Pinzhen, Tang Jiyao scolded him countless times in his heart.In Tang Jiyao's view, it is impossible for Gu Pinzhen to be unaware of the situation of the Yunnan Army.

But he stood up anyway.

What are you going to do?

Want to win over those passionate young officers.If those young officers really supported Gu Pinzhen, then it would be a very powerful force, even one that he should be afraid of.The more he thought about Tang Jiyao, the more troubled he became.

None of them can be trusted.These people don't even understand their "hard work", and they all know how to protect the face of bullshit.

How much is the so-called glory of the Yunnan Army worth?The real strength of the Yunnan Army is the most important.A group of little hairy children also want to interfere with the decision-making of the Yunnan Army's high-level officials at will, which is really unreasonable.

Damn.

The more you look at it, the more it is an eyesore, so Tang Jiyao waved his hand and said, "Okay, the meeting is over."

After letting everyone leave, only Tang Jiyao and Luo Peijin were left in the room.Tang Jiyao said with a gloomy face, "Brother Rongxuan, what do you think?"

86 Split 3

"Brother Rongxuan, what do you think?"

"Opium is bad, we all know that. But Yunnan is a poor province. If we don't grow opium, we can eat and drink whatever we want. Not to mention us, what about the salaries of our soldiers in the Yunnan army. Brother Geng (Tang Jiyao), You can't be so provoked by them, you really..."

Ropekin was in a hurry.

The current Yunnan Army is very powerful and has a large number of people.Not only the Dian army stationed in Guangdong, but even the military and government in Guizhou depends on the face of the Dian army.After all, during the Revolution of [-], the governor of Guizhou was Tang Jiyao in front of him.The current governor of Guizhou, Liu Xianshi, was supported by Tang Jiyao to the position of governor of Guizhou.

Just as Sichuan’s Sichuan salt revenue accounts for half of Sichuan’s income, the opium business in Yunnan accounts for half of Yunnan’s finances.This is not to say that if you cut it off, you can cut it off.Even if Tang Jiyao himself wanted to cut it off, many bigwigs in the Yunnan Army would not agree.

Of course, Luo Peijin also knew that opium was not a good thing.But the reality is compelling.You, Duan Xun, own a big province like Sichuan, and you don’t lack money, so you can yell around.But what about our Yunnan?

If I have money, why would I be willing to do this kind of business.

"Then what do they do?"

Luo Peijin understood who Tang Jiyao was talking about.

A young officer of the Yunnan Army.

These people have not completely lost their revolutionary ideals, and now is the time when they want to do something big.None of them wanted the Dian army to be attacked, did not want the reputation of the Dian army to be tarnished, and did not want their reputation to be tarnished.Regardless of the low status of these people, they are all officers at the level of brigade commander and regimental commander.It is the backbone of the Yunnan Army at present, and its strength is quite strong.

But compared to them, Tang Jiyao and Luo Peijin were most afraid of Gu Pinzhen.This person has old qualifications in the Yunnan Army, a wide network of contacts, and high prestige.If it was really him who took the lead, then Tang Jiyao would have a headache.

"Compilation."

"Reorganization?"

Tang Jiyao already had an idea in his mind.But Tang Jiyao was afraid that if he said it, people would think it was killing a donkey, and there would be bad rumors.So Tang Jiyao hoped that this sentence was said by Luo Peijin.

Of course Ropekin understood.

But now that Luo Peijin and Tang Jiyao are tied together, he can only be the first bird to help Tang Jiyao settle this matter.

"The War to Protect the Nation is over, draw down the troops of these officers. Give the drawn down troops to other people to lead."

"Then Xiaozhai (Gu Pinzhen) over there..."

Tang Jiyao was not worried about those junior officers.

Although people like Fan Shisheng, Jin Handing, Wang Kai (commander in chief), Yang Zhen, and Xiang Mi are rising stars in the Yunnan Army and their status is not low, they really can't speak for themselves in the Yunnan Army.Because the Yunnan Army is based on the Yunnan New Army and the Jiangwu Hall.Therefore, many of the current Dian Army's big bosses are the teachers and seniors of the young officers who graduated from the Yunnan Lecture Hall. The major issues of the Dian Army are discussed by these big bosses, so there is no room for those young officers to speak.When the teacher speaks, there is no reason for students to interfere.

When Tang Jiyao wanted to downsize his troops, there were plenty of excuses.So Tang Jiyao was not worried about those young officers.Moreover, although the strength of the young officers is not weak, if there is no leader, it is also a mess.

But Gu Pinzhen was different.

He not only has deep seniority, but also has his own direct descendants.And there are many connections in the Yunnan army.For example, Zhang Kairu, who is currently entering Guangdong, and Huang Yucheng, who served as the commander of the third echelon of the Third Army of the National Defense Army and soon served as the commander of the Fourth Army of the National Defense Army, Jiang Meiling, the chief of staff of Gu Pinzhen, and Huang Yucheng. General Yang Jie, Ye Quan, commander of the Sixth Echelon of the Third Army of the National Defense Army, and Zhang Zizhen, commander of the Sixth Army of the National Defense Army, another big brother of the Yunnan Army, all had a good relationship with Gu Pinzhen.She is usually willing to hang out with Gu Pinzhen.

Not to mention the newly rising young generals, many of them supported Gu Pinzhen.

Once Gu Pinzhen came out to oppose the reorganization of the army, Tang Jiyao would also have a headache.

"Doesn't Sichuan need us to explain? Let Xiaozhai brother (Gu Pinzhen) be the head of the team, and let Ye Quan, Jiang Meiling, and Yang Jie be representatives to go to Chengdu to talk to Duan Xun. , Just kidding, two or three months or even half a year has passed. There is enough time for us.”

Zhang Kairu, the oldest and most experienced, is currently in Guangdong. Huang Yucheng's qualifications and strength are not bad, but his prestige is not as good as Gu Pinzhen, and he does not have the ability to raise his arms.Then just play Gu Pinzhen, Jiang Meiling, and Yang Jie away.

Excuses are also good.

Gu Pinzhen has enough identity to represent the Yunnan Army, and Jiang Meiling and Yang Jie, needless to say, and Duan Xun are both classmates of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and Ye Quan once served in the Sichuan Army and is very familiar with many officers of the Sichuan Army.With the current traffic conditions, it would take a long time for them to go to Chengdu.Even if it is done quickly, it will take more than ten days.

Coupled with the arguing between the two sides, two or three months can pass in a flash.
