Beiyang reactionaries

"how do you want to do it?"

"The two brigades I left in Guizhou are all counted as troops under the Sichuan and Guizhou Anti-smoking Supervision Department."

"Let me sign?"

"Yes."

Dai Kan hesitated.

Duan Xun's meaning is very simple.Duan Xun is going to enter Guizhou's troops. He justifiably stays in Guizhou, and then directly controls northern and northwestern Guizhou.Now Duan Xun is playing tricks, staying for a few months in the name of suppressing bandits.But once I signed the contract and made this unit a unit of the Sichuan and Guizhou Anti-smoking Supervision Department, then they would have enough name to continue to stay in Guizhou.At that time, Duan Kan will offend not only Liu Xianshi alone, but also Wang Wenhua, and even the entire powerful faction in Guizhou.

"I heard that Wang Wenhua was very angry at Prime Minister Duan's failure to restore the National Assembly, and wanted to follow Sun Yat-sen in Guangdong to protect the law. When my large army is overwhelmed, I will recommend Brother Xun Ruo as the governor of Guizhou."

"You want to use troops against Wang Wenhua?"

"If he follows Sun Yat-sen."

"You make me think about it."

Dai Kan felt his eyelids twitching.

"Brother Xun Ruo, I have issued an order that my troops will suppress the bandits in Guizhou for three months. This cannot be changed. If it is difficult to suppress the bandits, then Li Jishen will personally lead the remaining troops of the First Division of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army Enter Zunyi."

"call--"

Dai Kan couldn't help but close his eyes.

The Qian army is too weak to stop Duan Xun at all.Any resourcefulness, intrigue, or political strategy are of no use to Duan Xun and Qian Jun.Because Duan Xun is too strong and the Qian army is too weak.

The troops of Duan Xuncai's two brigades entered Guizhou, but the Qian army could not expel them.Especially after Tang Jiyao, the main backer of the Guizhou Army, was expelled from Kunming, the Guizhou Army was even weaker.Duan Xun completely overwhelmed you upright.

"Brother Xunruo, you have to take a long-term view. You are only serving as the governor of Guizhou, and you are really overqualified. If you partner with me, I will be able to enter Beijing one day, and I will definitely not treat brother Xunruo badly."

"Boom boom boom——"

Just as Duan Xun was convincing Dai Kan, Shi Tiyuan, the head of the intelligence department of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion, walked in and whispered in Duan Xun's ear.Duan Xun nodded after listening, and said, "I see. You send someone to the meeting room, and I will go there later."

"Yes."

Shi Tiyuan immediately withdrew.

Duan Xun turned his head and said to Dai Kan: "Brother Xunruo, think about it carefully. Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, Tang Jiyao has never forgotten that Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are integrated, and so am I. With Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, I can There are enough meritorious deeds to enter Beijing."

"General Duan, let me think about it."

"Well, to be honest, I don't want to go to war in Guizhou. If I fight with Wang Wenhua, the people in Guizhou will still be injured in the end. This is not what I want to see. Therefore, I hope to get the help of Brother Xunruo to reduce fighting in Guizhou time."

Duan Xun saw that Dai Kan was lost in thought, stood up quietly, and then quietly exited the room.There is another important thing waiting for Duan Xun on the other side.

122 Yunnan Defends Guizhou Offensive

"General."

"teacher."

After Duan Xun and Dai Kan finished their conversation, they immediately came to the meeting room of the Governor's Mansion.The ministers of the various departments of the Governor's Mansion, including Shang Zhen, the commander of the Second Division of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army who is currently stationed in Chengdu, and Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the Fifth Division stationed in Zigong, these senior generals of the first-line army also came to the meeting room.

"Sit all."

Duan Xun sat on the top and said in a deep voice, "Have you heard about it?"

"Yes."

"Let's talk about it, what should we do now? Should we concentrate our troops to attack Tang Jiyao, or should we stop the attack for a while?"

"General."

Zhang Shichen, head of the logistics department of the Governor's Mansion, was the first to stand up and said, "General, Tang Jiyao is an opium dealer, so why should he be merciful? It doesn't matter whether he protects the law or not, just eliminate him. We have so many troops in Yunnan If you can't send out another division, I don't believe Tang Jiyao can stop him."

"Correct."

As soon as Zhang Shichen finished speaking, Shang Zhen stood up to answer the words: "Tang Jiyao is notorious. He is an opium dealer who everyone shouts and beats. It is really naive to use the slogan of protecting the law to reverse the unfavorable public opinion."

Compared with Zhang Shichen, Shang Zhen pointed out the current problem more clearly.

The reason why Duan Xun called so many people to a meeting was because of the news Duan Xun had just received.Tang Jiyao, who ran to the south of Yunnan and was dying, suddenly announced his support for Sun Yat-sen to protect the law.Duan Xun dare not underestimate Tang Jiyao, the hero of the Southwest.Although Gu Pinzhen sent Ye Quan as the commander-in-chief of the southern expedition, he led the troops to attack southern Yunnan.

But Gu Pinzhen had no money and lack of ammunition, and he himself was unwilling to lose both sides with Tang Jiyao and let Duan Xun take advantage of it, so he was procrastinating all the time.Ye Quan and Tang Jiyao didn't really fight, just a few small-scale conflicts.

Ye Quan's main job is not to fight Tang Jiyao, but to reorganize his troops in the name of fighting.Therefore, he has been in southern Yunnan for several months, and he only wiped out a few bandits in southern Yunnan.

On the contrary, Tang Jiyao recharged his batteries during this time.

When Tang Jiyao fled to southern Yunnan, there were only about 1 troops left beside him.But in the past few months, Tang Jiyao expanded his army to [-] again, relying on the money he took away from Kunming and the money he earned from selling opium in southern Yunnan.Then using the money to win over the bandits in southern Yunnan can be regarded as regaining some vitality.

It's just that Tang Jiyao understands that his strength is still too weak, and his biggest problem now is that his reputation is too bad.

So Tang Jiyao wanted to reverse the unfavorable situation from public opinion.Just now Sun Yat-sen shouted to protect the law, Tang Jiyao thought it was a good opportunity.What are opium dealers, as long as they occupy the political heights, these are nothing.

Therefore, Tang Jiyao was the first among the powerful factions in the Southwest to support Sun Yat-sen's Dharma protection movement.

"teacher."

At this time Xu Yongchang stood up.

"Teacher, I don't think we should have large-scale operations in Yunnan. After all, Tang Jiyao was from the Yunnan Army, and none of us can guarantee the attitude of the Yunnan Army. Moreover, going deep into southern Yunnan puts too much logistical pressure. The situation will be very difficult. Anyway, according to the information, although Tang Jiyao has regained his strength a little, his strength is limited. As long as we control northern and central Yunnan, it is impossible for him to counterattack."

Shang Zhen and his front-line officers all want to fight.

After all, Shang Zhen's troops were also from Duan Xun's direct lineage, and they had never fought a battle since the War to Protect the Nation.Seeing the other troops fighting and making achievements one by one, Shang Zhen, who was stationed in Chengdu, also hoped that the troops would attack.But Xu Yongchang is different.

Xu Yongchang is the Minister of the Staff Department of the Governor's Mansion.

In charge of the battle plan, no matter what Xu Yongchang thinks, it is not a good idea to fight in Yunnan.The traffic situation in Yunnan is not very good. If the troops go to fight in southern Yunnan, there will be big logistics problems.

After all, Yunnan is not fully controlled now, and many logistics materials need to be transported from Sichuan.This is no small project.

More important is the attitude of the Yunnan Army.The relationship between Tang Jiyao and the Yunnan army was too close, although the Yunnan army fought back and drove Tang Jiyao out of Kunming.But who knows how the Dian army will choose when Duan Xun and Tang Jiyao are fighting.

Therefore, such a battle plan seemed very difficult to Xu Yongchang, so he immediately opposed it.

"General, facing Tang Jiyao should be all at once. According to intelligence, Tang Jiyao's troops only have [-] people, and most of them are recruits, with limited combat power. We have a division of troops pushing down, and he can't stop it at all."

Yu Xuezhong disagreed with Xu Yongchang's point of view.

Tang Jiyao is already a hairless phoenix.Fleeing from Kunming in a hurry, he took more than 3000 veterans with him. The current troops are all recruits he has just recruited.Not only recruits, but Tang Jiyao bought all his weapons and ammunition, and he didn't have many heavy weapons in his hands.

With only ten thousand recruits, the combat effectiveness can be imagined.
