Beiyang reactionaries

But these account books are lost, that is really a big deal.

More importantly, at such a tense moment, Tang Jiyu will continue to promote the fields for opium cultivation, and it turns out to be more than 30 mu of land.It was nothing at first, but if this handle got into Sichuan, it would be a big problem.

Gu Pinzhen suddenly remembered Duan Xun's words.

If Yunnan violates the "Sichuan-Yunnan Smoking Ban Statement", then he will not hesitate to start a war.Now that Tang Jiyu has given all the handle to Duan Xun, Gu Pinzhen really can't imagine how Duan Xun will choose.

"How did you run away?"

Gu Pinzhen really couldn't figure it out.

Why did he run away with such an important thing as Tang Jiyu?From Kunming to Sichuan, it will take several days even if you go fast, so it is so easy to escape.

And Li Youxun couldn't run alone, he must have taken his family with him.If you have family members, it will take longer.And if you want to run away safely, it is even more difficult.

"Tang Jiyu has delineated more than 30 mu of land to plant opium this year. Li Youxun is Tang Jiyu's representative and is in charge of these things. After disappearing for a few days, no one knows. Moreover, he is Tang Jiyu's representative, and he has Tang Jiyu's Token. In Yunnan, no one dares to stop him from going anywhere."

Ye Quan also shook his head.

Tang Jiyu is a guy who has more success than failure.

Gu Pinzhen could only smile wryly, and suddenly remembered Duan Xun's words.It turned out that what Duan Xun said had something to say, and Duan Xun was ready.Now recalling what Duan Xun said at that time, it was not to separate himself and Tang Jiyao, but to let himself remember these words and use them in the current situation.

Duan Xun must be fighting Tang Jiyao.

Duan Xun meant to let Gu Pinzhen choose.Whether to choose to cooperate with Duan Xun or Tang Jiyao.For a moment, Gu Pinzhen was panicked and didn't know what to do.Damn Tang Jiyu.

As long as there is this excuse, Duan Xun's troops will definitely go south.

Suddenly Gu Pinzhen remembered Tang Jiyao's situation now.He had a quarrel with his closest friend Yu Enyang, and the young officer of the Dian Army confronted Tang Jiyao again.The original powerful Yunnan army has now reached this point and has become a mess.

why?

Why is it?

Gu Pinzhen suddenly felt that who spread the rumors about Tang Jiyao and Yu Enyang?Everyone has always started from the inside of Yunnan to see who is the most proud.Many people think that it was spread by Gu Pinzhen's side, or by generals who failed to gain an important position during the reorganization.

But now Gu Pinzhen suddenly felt that Duan Xun was the most suspicious?

Where the current situation is most beneficial is myself, or other members of the Yunnan Army, and it is Duan Xun, the governor of Sichuan in the north.The more chaotic the Dian army, the better for Duan Xun.

"Brother Xiaozhai (Gu Pinzhen), what should we do now?"

Ye Quan asked Gu Pinzhen nervously.

Gu Pinzhen closed her eyes and thought for a while and said, "Just wait and see what happens. The Sichuan side will take action soon. You will also be staying in the barracks during this period. The troops are on high alert. If anything happens, take the troops out of Kunming immediately."

Hearing Gu Pinzhen's words, Zhou Zhongyue's face changed drastically.

Who is Gu Pinzhen protecting against?

very clear thing.

Gu Pinzhen sighed and said: "Mr. Shengfu (Zhou Zhongyue), the current situation is out of my control. Tang Jiyu lost such an important thing, soon the national public opinion will surge, and the Beijing government will also blame him. And to. Whether Tang Jiyao's position as the governor of Yunnan can be secured is already difficult to judge. But for the honor of my Yunnan, the honor of my Yunnan army, we must draw a line with the brothers of the Tang family. Otherwise, all of our Yunnan army will They will become the target of public criticism, and people outside will definitely say that our Yunnan Army is China's opium dealers. Our Yunnan cannot suffer such shame, and our Yunnan Army's honor cannot be tarnished like this. So, Mr. Shengfu, please forgive me."

Before, Tang Jiyao could still prevaricate, saying that the matter of opium in Yunnan was just his lax management.But following this incident, he could no longer shirk it.It will definitely become the target of public criticism.

Of course, Gu Pinzhen had to draw a line with Tang Jiyao at this time, which could be regarded as keeping the last glory of the Yunnan Army.

101 public opinion gushing

"When I saw this kid for the first time, I thought he was smart. At the time when we were besieging Bai Lang, he completely coincided with my thoughts. I didn't expect that he was still so smart, and he hit Tang Jiyao's life gate as soon as he made a move." .”

Duan Qirui looked at Duan Xun's telegram, and happily talked to Xu Shuzheng.

Tang Jiyu planted opium, traded opium, and even expanded the scale of planting this year. All these series of evidence fell into the hands of Duan Xun.Duan Xun not only disclosed the evidence in the media, but also immediately sent a telegram to Duan Qirui, asking Duan Qirui to give instructions on the next step.

Tang Jiyu.

It can be seen from the name that this is Tang Jiyao's younger brother and his first cousin.Grasping his handle is tantamount to grabbing Tang Jiyao's handle.Therefore, Duan Qirui was in a good mood the moment he received Duan Xun's telegram.

Duan Xun is very sensible.

fight?

Just having an excuse is not enough.

Duan Xun is the governor of Sichuan appointed by the Beijing government. He is not only Duan Qirui's student, but also Duan Qirui's nephew and son-in-law. He is definitely Duan Qirui's closest descendant.To fight against people, one must obtain the support of the Beijing government, or obey the orders of the Beijing government.In other words, Duan Qirui's support and consent must be obtained.At this stage, Duan Xun needs Duan Qirui's support very much, and needs to rely on Duan Qirui, a big tree, and is not yet qualified to be independent from Duan Qirui.Otherwise, when Duan Xun takes down Yunnan, Duan Qirui and the others will not let Duan Xun occupy this place alone, and Duan Xun will not be able to find a place even if he cries.So Duan Xun knows how to measure.Let Duan Qirui know how much he respects Duan Qirui.

Only when Duan Qirui continues to support Duan Xun can Duan Xun continue to make waves in the southwest.If there is trouble with Duan Qirui, even if Duan Xun can secure his position as the governor of Sichuan, it will be very difficult to continue to develop his strength.

"Old Zhi (Duan Qirui) is all wise. Otherwise, Degong (Duan Xun) would still be suppressing bandits in western Henan. How could he have achieved what he is now?"

"Haha."

Xu Shuzheng patted Duan Qirui's flattery a little, which put Duan Qirui in a good mood.

Since Duan Xun entered Sichuan, everything he has done has been loved by Duan Qirui.Starting from blocking the Yunnan Army in the War to Protect the Nation and not allowing the Yunnan Army to control Sichuan, Duan Xun did very beautiful things, which made Duan Qirui like it.With Duan Xun sitting in Sichuan, Duan Qirui in the southwest is very relieved.Now that Duan Xun has caught Tang Jiyao's handle, Duan Qirui is even more happy.

"Old Zhi, among the disobedient armies in the south, the Yunnan Army is the most powerful and noisy, and Tang Jiyao is the most ambitious and capable. This time Degong (Duan Xun) got Tang Jiyu's handle, It’s the best excuse. We can’t let Tang Jiyao continue to occupy Yunnan, we must expel him. Without Tang Jiyao, our president (Li Yuanhong) will lose his momentum immediately.”

Xu Shuzheng was also very happy.

Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and Duan Xun stood at different heights and thought completely differently.What Duan Xun is thinking about now is how to expand his power, how to become the leader of the Beiyang Army, and how to make himself a great warlord in the Southwest.However, Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng had completely different considerations.

Duan Qirui is the current de facto ruler of China.Although there is a great president, Li Yuanhong, but the real power of the Beijing government is in the hands of Duan Qirui.

Therefore, what Duan Qirui thought was how to unify China.

At present, most places are under the rule of the Beiyang Army, or are ruled by warlords attached to the Beiyang Army.Although the Beiyang Army is not monolithic, the warlord of the Beiyang Army in the Yangtze River Basin listened to Feng Guozhang's words and was a direct army of Feng Guozhang.But no matter what, everyone is also the Beiyang Army, and they are all in the same line.

The forces that really do not belong to the Beiyang Army are basically in the south.

The most powerful ones are Tang Jiyao of the Dian Army and Lu Rongting of the Gui Army.Lu Rongting is an old fox, basically he doesn't leave any excuses for others, and he is very cautious in doing things.Not only that, Lu Rongting is usually very honest, and he will never easily confront the Beijing government.But Tang Jiyao is not only powerful, but also very ambitious, making troubles in the southwest at every turn.Therefore, Duan Qirui has always wanted to find an opportunity to cut Tang Jiyao, kill chickens and scare monkeys, and show other disobedient local warlords.Also let Li Yuanhong take a look, let Li Yuanhong be honest.And now he finally caught Tang Jiyao's handle.

This is a good thing.

"Youzheng, what do you think should happen now?"

"Old Zhi (Duan Qirui), I think the best way for us is to mobilize public opinion to condemn Tang Jiyao first, and then ask Tang Jiyao to give up his position as the governor of Yunnan in the name of the government. Then appoint Degong as the supervisor of the Southwest Smoking Ban to supervise the smoking in the southwestern provinces. No smoking situation."

Upright.

The biggest advantage of occupying the central government is this. It can issue orders in an upright manner, and can intervene in local affairs in an upright manner.Although under the current situation in China, the following may not necessarily listen to your words.But this is the name, and this is justified.During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's "serving the emperor to order the world" was all for this name.

Criticize Tang Jiyao directly from a high place.Then Duan Xun was appointed as the supervisor of the Southwest Smoking Ban.It seems that this anti-smoking supervisor is just a small post to monitor opium.But this kind of position is said to be very small, basically inconspicuous, and even the southwestern provinces don't have to give Duan Xun face.

But big is also big.
