Chapter 332 Inauguration of Sichuan Governor (1)
Chapter 332 Take office as the governor of Sichuan (1)
"Jingchu Guardian--is about to arrive in Chongqing!"
Since this news came out from somewhere a few days ago, it took less than half a day to become a topic that everyone in Sichuan knew. It even surpassed the Northern Expedition and the national topic that the people in Sichuan Province discussed with major forces - North-South Peace. Since the Protective Road Movement, Sichuan has seen nearly half a year, the people in Sichuan are seeking stability. Compared with the rest of the southern provinces that have settled down, they are obviously more concerned about the forces that have swayed each other in Sichuan Province. In the end, who can leaps to the top and win the position of Sichuan Governor.
No wonder, during the days when Li Han was wandering on the river, the situation in Sichuan changed again due to his arrival.
On December 14, 1911, after sending troops to surround the former governor of Sichuan, Zhao Erfeng, a few days after he heard that the general of Hubei Army He Jin, who entered Sichuan, had a banquet to ambush the soldiers and killed the general of Tongmenghui, Xia Zhishi, and another general of Hubei Army who was rumored to be attracted by Tongmenghui, established the Sichuan Military Government, hoping to welcome the governor of Jingchu, Li Han, to Sichuan to take over as the governor of Sichuan. At this time, he had basically controlled the new army general in Chengdu. At this time, Yin Changheng, who was young and wanted to start a career, thought about it for a few days, and rode alone to visit Zhao Erfeng, who was trapped in the mansion and cultivated. He also used a trick to make an alliance with Zhao, persuaded Zhao Erfeng to take him to take office.
The three thousand patrol troops who were trained were handed over to the military government in the name of the military government. They also managed to convince Zhu Qinglan, the former deputy governor of the Sichuan Military Government of the Han Dynasty who had just received the invitation of the governor of the three eastern provinces, who was about to leave Sichuan, and Zhu Qinglan, the former commander of the 17th town of the army, and asked him to help persuade Zhao Erfeng. The next day, Zhao Erfeng agreed to hand over the three thousand patrol troops to the military government to take over after Zhu Qinglan's persuasion. Later, Yin Changheng invited the generals of the patrol troops to discuss military affairs by the government, sent six killers to the police, and immediately organized the two thousand soldiers and the three thousand patrol troops, grasped all the military power in Chengdu, and became the second force in Sichuan.
At the same time, after He Jin took the opportunity to eliminate the power in the province, the Sichuan Branch of the Tongmenghui was not to be outdone. A little delay was made. On the 18th, the "Shu Army" with Xiong Kewu as the commander-in-chief of the Shu army and Peng Jiazhen as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shu army completed the recruitment in Shanghai. In the end, the sixth battalion of two regiments were recruited, about 2,100 new recruits, of which more than 1,500 were young laborers who were working to travel to Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and there were many student soldiers from Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. On the evening of the 18th, after being personally contacted by the Prime Minister of Tongmenghui Sun Wen, he rented four 3,000-ton cargo ships, Tobamaru, Dongshengmaru, Jisai, Inomaru, and several other ships. He officially left Shanghai and went to Sichuan on the 19th, and was expected to arrive in Sichuan on the 28th!
In addition, the Yunnan Army, who had entered Sichuan in the past few days and arrived in southern Sichuan, were not at ease. After failing to compete for control of Zigong Salt Industry, contacted Yunnan, and broke the news that the Yunnan Army proposed to protect the Lu army as a bandit when it entered Sichuan. It actively contacted Rongxian, Weiyuan's generation of Lu army protection troops, and finally Wu Yuzhang, the president of the Sichuan Tongmenghui branch, persuaded Wang Tianjie, the deputy commander of the Sichuan East Road Revolutionary Army, to attack Zhang Benyao's troops together. Speaking of which, Wang Tianjie also had another identity, that is, the boss of the Ge Laohui. After He entered Sichuan, he considered the four
The situation in Sichuan was caused by the road protection riots, and bandits from all counties emerged. Therefore, in the name of the Guardian Envoy of the East Sichuan, they ordered the forcibly disbanding all the Ge Laohui gangs and organizations in the eastern Sichuan area who disobeyed the military government. Only a few organizations that Gong Chuntai helped the military government when he entered Sichuan were very helpful. Because of his rash actions, although he achieved good results immediately, all regions gradually recovered peace under the rule of eastern Sichuan, they also offended many Sichuan Ge Laohui forces, which is why the Hubei army entering Sichuan has become the target of attack by most forces.
On the second day of 18.19, after two days of fierce fighting and assistance from Sichuan East, Zhang Benyao finally repelled the invading Yunnan Army and Wang Tianjie and other forces in the Route Protection Army. The military government took the opportunity to seize Weiyuan County, a major coal and iron town in southern Sichuan, and dispersed the local Route Protection Army. The next day, Rong County was broken, and the eastern Sichuan army invaded Rong County. Wang Tianjie and other forces in the Route Protection Army were forced to retreat to southern Sichuan or western Sichuan.
Li Han arrived in Chongqing, Sichuan under such a complex and chaotic situation.
However, Li Han and the Sichuan East Military Government still underestimated his current influence. Since the past few days, many local young people in Chongqing have heard the news that he was about to go to Sichuan in person. Without hesitation, they all secretly ran out without hesitation. They were going to find their classmates and friends, and loudly discussed joining the Sichuan East Military Government together. No, it has been renamed the newly recruited recruit battalion of the Sichuan Army Government at this time.
Recently, the military government's throat newspaper, Voice of China, also opened a branch in Chongqing, responsible for the collection and printing of news in Chongqing, but the layout and editors still have to hand over to Yingcheng, mainly because there is not enough professional staff. As early as after confirming the stability of Chongqing, he ordered the newspaper to send some young people to set up branches in Chongqing. When he arrived, the overwhelming newspaper had already promoted the news of the military government recruiting new recruits for several days, and also promised in the newspaper that all the Sichuan soldiers recruited by the recruitment of the Sichuan soldiers will be completed.
After becoming a household registration review, they will also receive military protection. The young people of this era will never lack passion, courage and yearning for revolution. As long as they are given a chance, they will devote themselves to the revolution without hesitation and use their young and short lives to add strength to the revolutionary cause. In addition, the military government's military protection plan is very touching. There have been many young people who have brute force but do not have many survival skills or young people who have the heart to serve the country and cannot wait to join the revolutionary army!
Not only were the gentry and businessmen in Chongqing, but the rich were another group of anxious people. Since the news of him going to Sichuan, many people have been jumping up and down, asking for his news, or contacting his subordinates to transfer the wealth in the mansion to other places. Sichuan is the largest population province, and it is also one of the most concentrated areas in the country. Many rich people who regard land as the best man obviously do not want his new policy in Jingchu to be implemented in Sichuan, so they decided to leave Chongqing first and then
There are many such people who contact other forces to deal with him. Of course, there are exceptions, such as some people with good vision, who have seen the enlightened gentry and wealthy people who have made money through industrial compensation in the Jingchu New Policy, or are interested in the two new and old salts in Yingcheng and Zigong under the control of the military government, or they are simply planning to spend money to buy more ways out for themselves, preparing to manage the matter with him, the person who is most likely to become the Sichuan Governor, and participate as soon as possible, so that they can also benefit from it after he seizes the Sichuan Governor.
At noon on the 20th, after the news of Li Han's arrival in the eastern Sichuan garrison's mansion, from noon, the road between the Xicheng Gate of Chongqing to the Sichuan Military Government station converted from the former Chongqing prefectural yamen was filled with people who came to welcome Li Han to come with him. Most of them were holding banners and the Iron Blood Eighteen Star Flags that were temporarily prepared by He Jin, and some young people who were interested in revolution were preparing spontaneously, waiting for the army's entry ceremony. The reason why they came was that except for some who really came to welcome the revolutionary army, the rest were mostly curious whether the young general who was legendary about loving the people and reducing heavy taxes for the people really thought of the legendary Master Qingtian who was reincarnated by Yue Wumu.
"Wow!"
The crowd was shocked.
"This is the Iron Army!"
Some people are feeling the same.
"I must join the army, wear this kind of military uniform and sing this kind of military song!"
The people didn't know what kind of army would be a truly invincible army, and they could only feel it with their own eyes. Therefore, when the teaching company appeared in front of them, they were indeed shocked by the team in front of them, because they had never seen such a mighty and handsome army. "No wonder, newspapers were rumored that the troops in Hubei were all attacking Henan and Sichuan. Judging from this, even the Beiyang New Army of the imperial court was no match for the revolutionary army." Such thoughts suddenly filled the hearts of almost all the onlookers.
Li Han's purpose was achieved, but in fact everyone was wrong. The team that followed him into the city was not a iron army or a veteran, but a new group of newly recruited new recruits. After the implementation of the new policy of Jingchu, the military government exceeded the recruitment of soldiers. Because there were many young people coming from other provinces, in order not to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, he took the opportunity to recruit several special battalion-level organizations from these student soldiers. For example, the teaching battalion was all composed of students who had studied or participated in soldiers in the Army Academy, or attended private schools or teacher schools for more than five years. He and the recruited foreign instructors, together with the recruited military instructors, popularized them in several places before the establishment of the military school in his heart.
The basic skills of the officers! In addition, there are a few more, one of which is the organization, which is a good seedling he picked out. He practices hard every day, marching, turning left and right, and walking in a row, etc., just to use the honor camp for the welcome ceremony or military parade. Some people should say that it is wasted, but it is not. Reasonable use and publicity will have unexpected effects. For example, now, he organized this grand entry ceremony, and used the neatness, ability and discipline of the honor camp to deeply imprint the labels of "iron army, strong army, discipline, majestic, invincible" into every citizen in Chongqing. Later, it will spread to Hubei and all over the country with the newspapers, so that they can know the strength of their revolutionary army and can further shock a group of forces trying to compete with him for the Sichuan Governor.
"There are all, the song of the revolutionaries, singing in unison!"
As the commander of the front row of the honor guard camp opened his mouth, there was almost no noise, and the team began to change another song and began to sing.
"Listen! The horn of the battle sends an alarm
Put on military uniform and pick up weapons
Revolutionary soldiers gathered together to embark on their journey
Defend the country in one heart..."
Li Han rode a powerful war horse in the yellow date horse surrounded by dozens of young officers, and followed the three of them in a row and slowly entered the city. Today he deliberately wore a gorgeous, neat and majestic imitation marshal's uniform, so that even He Jin, who was following him and wearing a military uniform, was suppressed, giving people a sense of majesticism. It also highlighted his youth and power.
"Sing loudly, everything we loved since childhood,
Would rather die than give it to the enemy
Revolutionary soldiers gathered together to embark on their journey
Defend the country in one heart
Let's see you, my dear mom
Please kiss your son goodbye!"
On the horse, Li Han controlled the horse with one hand and sang loudly, and kept saluting the crowd with the other hand. Looking at the crowd who kept cheering at him, he could hardly control his inner excitement, and could only smile and greet the crowd below. The crowd looked at his smile and became even more excited, and what was returned to him was a greater cheer.
Chapter completed!
