Chapter 23 Happy Time (continued)
Looking at the vast river, where did the shallow water come from? You know that Liu Jingxiao is telling all lies. If the Yangtze River really wants to make a fuss to the point where the shallow water is so thin that the boat cannot sail, at least half of the people will starve to death. Since the pre-Jin period, there has been no record of the Yangtze River flowing!
However, as soon as Liu Jingxiao said this, the governor, especially Sichuan Xiong Wuxiong, immediately sent a telegram to support him: "The guard has always been very wise and obeyed the central government, but it is difficult to mobilize the water and boats for a while... I hope the central government will not be surprised..."
Then all departments of the Sichuan Army sent a telegram for approval, and even the entire Galaxy of hundreds of people saved the country and the people and the Xiong (Wu) General Command stated: "Teacher Liu has a world vision..."
Now, the Hunan Army, like the Sichuan Army, are under the threat of the Northern Army. What the Sichuan Army supports is the Hunan Army. The Sichuan Army sent a telegram to the Hunan Army and asked them to issue a telegram to support Liu Jingxiao's on-site garrison. The Hunan Army replied: "You can write the telegram, and we will list the names at that time!"
Of course, Liu Jingxiao means to have troops to protect himself, but it is completely in line with the Sichuan Army. Originally, the defenses of the two armies are naturally inevitable, and some friction is naturally inevitable, but it is completely different. Liu Jingxiao's troops can be said to be the gatekeeper of the Sichuan Army.
When he knocked away the three beauties in Sichuan and redeemed Sichuan, he had a promise to "no longer enter Sichuan". Moreover, when he was stationed in Yichang, the Sichuan army was smuggling and made a big fuss, but if Liu Jingxiao was transferred, he would definitely get a new force, and this new force would most likely attack Sichuan.
Even if we don’t attack Sichuan, it’s a big problem. Commander Liu has already made enough money, and the newcomer, Shangguan Sanbahuo, must have made a lot of money through Sichuan and River shipping. The money is still paid by our Sichuan Army.
Now Liu Jingxiao doesn’t say “the water is shallow and the boat is sparse”, that is, the sun comes out from the west, and the Sichuan Army is also full of praise.
The Sichuan Army was happy, but Duan Tiemin was furious after reading these telegrams!
But the most painful thing in the world is that you clearly said it was all fallacies, so he had to comfort him a few words. He replied: "The water is shallow and the boat is thin... Your subordinates can adjust it slowly, and then move it after the Yangtze River comes in..."
It’s not that Liu Jingxiao’s language is so charming that it touched our Premier Duan, but that he sent a telegram and just picked a very good time.
Just after the New Year, Premier Duan got two bad news.
The first bad news was related to the Black Tiger Army in Shandong. The Black Tiger Army had the intention to sneak back to Shandong. As a result, Wang Ziqi transferred all his troops to the Dezhou area. After a fierce battle, he finally blocked Black Tiger Mountain.
Since it is blocked, it is easy to deal with. Leaving the ground in Shandong is not my business. This kind of idea of leaving the country is safe, not only Wang Ziqi, but also Henan.
This gave the Black Tiger Army a chance to breathe. He rested on the borders of the two provinces for a few days, recruited a large number of generals, and returned to Henan.
This round of retaliation was really powerful. When he heard that the Black Tiger Army had sneaked back to Shandong, the Henan Governor had already transferred the troops back, leaving only some patrol teams and police to defend on the spot. The Black Tiger Army was like entering a no-man's land, and it won three county towns in succession and tied up countless meat tickets.
As for the other losses, it was even greater. Thousands of houses were burned and shops were looted and hundreds of thousands of yuan were lost... What's even more dangerous is that the Black Tiger Army had robbed a large number of arms, and there were as many as thousands of rifles alone, but at this time the encirclement and suppression troops had returned to their original defense.
Jiangsu is a direct territory. Unexpectedly, the White House owner nodded. If Guan Shanhe dared to stay in Pukou, he would not leave? This is the case. As soon as Guan Shanhe arrived at Pukou, the successor Jiangsu Governor Tian Zhiming immediately went to the dock to welcome him and said, "It's good that you come! Everything is easy to solve!"
All the food supplies for thousands of people were pulled out from the provincial warehouse to Guanshanhe. The central government repeatedly urged Guanshanhe to set off quickly. Guanshanhe gritted his teeth and said that he was sick today, but tomorrow he might say that his troops were too tired. In short, just one word, if you don’t leave, you won’t leave. I will never be cannon fodder. It depends on what you do!
Now I feel that Liu Jingxiao is not that hateful, let alone being impatient. He was forced to kill him with a thousand men from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In addition, Hubei was a direct army unit with Liu Jingxiao in history. These two troops rebelled together. Not to mention that all the efforts of the Southern Expedition were wasted, even if they wanted to change the dynasty, they had a great chance.
Therefore, Premier Duan was not allowed to call back to comfort Liu Jingxiao. Liu Jingxiao then sent another telegram and changed his face. This time, he said in a crying tone that many difficulties and demands of his troops were exempted from transfer.
However, Duan Tiemin didn't have time to read his telegram, and his top priority was to deal with the White House master. Although Feng Li was a person with a very soft ear and lacked the most determination, although the palaces and courtyards were a little more relaxed some time ago, there was a conflict now.
It was still Xu Youzheng's old problem. At the cabinet meeting, the opinions of the subsequent dispatch of troops to Hunan were discussed. The Minister of Internal Affairs Sun Yihong, a person from the south, insisted on opposing the continued sending troops to Hunan, but supported the resolution on the spot. At that time, the two secretary-generals of the Court and the Office attended the meeting.
Xu Youzheng stood up and asked the cabinet to pass. Logically, he could only attend and had no say. As a result, Ding Shiyi, Secretary General of the Court, stood up and wanted to say a few words, but Xu Youzheng scolded: "You're just talking nonsense!"
Then, without waiting for the cabinet to vote, Xu Youzheng forced his statement out, which made him so angry that both the Secretary-General of the Court and the Chief of the Internal Affairs Office were about to resign.
But what can Premier Duan do? His soul is Xu Youzheng. Everything cannot be separated from him. Xu Youzheng must be his secretary-general.
But Duan's fatal weakness lies in this. Every president has a big fight with Xu Youzheng, but he has no determination to replace Xu Youzheng.
Not to mention Duan has no determination, even the White House master has no determination. The president has the power to remove the prime minister. He really wants to change the prime minister, but after searching for him, he is not the candidate he likes.
The first thing he thought was Duan Shizhen, the chief of staff, but Duan Shizhen was proficient in Huang Lao's arts. He would never say a tough word in this kind of problem, and was forced to force him to: "It is okay to ask me to help my old friend, but it is impossible to let the Tiemin platform be demolished!"
