Volume Four The Battle of Unification Chapter 685 Pu Ji deceived Sichuan
When various places were running for parliamentary members, Wang Maoru, the commander of the National Defense Forces, did not stay idle. He met with a delegation from the Sichuan Warlord Federation in Beijing. The Sichuan Warlords came to Beijing with Liu Xiang as the leader of the Sichuan Army to discuss the reorganization of the Sichuan Army. Just one day after Zhang Zuolin arrived in Hunan and forced the entire Hunan to announce the reorganization immediately, the Sichuan Warlords gathered secretly to discuss whether to fight to the death or accept the reorganization. What everyone is looking for is just a second time of power and money, life is
The world is bustling for money. Over the years, aren’t the only ones who are trying to fight? But everyone is just living in vain. Since the National Defense Force cut off Sichuan’s tobacco business, the Sichuan warlords have been getting worse day by day. In the past, the Sichuan warlords were able to buy arms from Britain and Germany, but now because of the National Defense Forces’ open and secret obstruction, the Sichuan warlords’ arms have stopped. Now, the Sichuan warlords have guns but no ammunition, and they are still killing each other.
The Sichuan warlords led by Liu Xiang finally decided to sit together again after the Battle of Jingchuan to discuss the future of Sichuan. When the Sichuan warlords were discussing, Hunan announced that they would accept the reorganization. A few days later, Guangdong announced that they would accept the reorganization, and the pressure instantly made the Sichuan warlords breathless.
After a few days of intense discussion, it was still Sichuan Governor Liu Houcun who asked: "Everyone, is Sichuan from Sichuan from Sichuan or Sichuan from the Republic of China?" All officers including Liu Xiang looked at him, and Liu Houcun said: "If Sichuan from Sichuan from Sichuan, our Sichuan boys will be tragic and fight to the end. If Sichuan from the Republic of China, why do you need to do that separatist country, just for your own selfishness and for your own power?"
Everyone lowered their heads, but Liu Houcun expressed everyone's voice, one's own selfishness. It's indeed one's own selfishness.
Seeing everyone silently, Liu Houcun said, "I will introduce someone to you. What should you say after you meet this person?" Then he invited someone in. Everyone saw a gentleman wearing a crimson purple jacket, a melon-skin hat, and a pair of round-bottomed black sunglasses in the civilization. The man bowed and said in a strong Beijing flavor: "Dear men, let me introduce myself first. I am Uraji, the brother Xiushuai, who came down to the earth by Zihuixing."
Everyone here knows Uraji's name. He is not famous for other things, but because of his luck. He was in trouble with Wang Maoru and became a brother of the opposite sex. He was not capable of being promoted to Major General of the National Defense Forces. Didn't he rely on his luck in his early years? His luck is even more lucky than the seven fairies falling from the sky while walking. After he became rich, he ignored how many wives he married. He was rich, powerful, and most importantly, he had the largest backer in the country.
Uraji Daierro sat down locally and said, "Do you want to arrest me? Then force my righteous brother not to invade Sichuan?"
The language of the Sichuan people belongs to the Northern language family, and Pu Ji talks to them. There are no communication barriers except for some accents that need to be considered. The Sichuan voice belongs to the northern pronunciation because Sichuan will always suffer heavy damage whenever there is a historical war. In 260 AD, the Shu Han Empire destroyed the country, and the population of Bashu land was 78 to 80; in 310 AD, the Five Barbarians invaded China, and Sichuan was slaughtered by the Di people; in 1250 AD, Sichuan was conquered by the Mongols again.
It was massacred once; Zhang Xianzhong massacred Sichuan once in the late Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Xianzhong massacred most of the Ming Dynasty intellectuals loyal to the court, which led to the lack of scholars in Sichuan, angered scholars all over the world, and was called the butchers who slaughtered all the Sichuan people; in the early Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty occupied Sichuan, and the Sichuan people fought for 20 years. It can be said that Sichuan was massacred and migrated several times, and the Sichuan people's accent became closer and closer to the north, and eventually made Sichuan's voice a northern language system.
Uraji looked at everyone's expressions and laughed, "Just make a joke to you."
Liu Xiang said: "Third Master is interesting. You are here this time..."
"One of the time, I will advise you to accept reorganization and national unification, and not to commit **. Second, I will give you gifts to you so that you can make money." Uraji said.
Liu Xiang was interested and said, "Get rich?"
"Yes, get rich." Uraji said confidently.
Uraji's trick to make money was also thought out by Dongfang Hong. He joined hands with the Sichuan warlords to develop the liquor industry. Sichuan people are good at drinking, and Sichuan people are good at brewing. After the two entered Sichuan, they drank Sichuan liquor. The winemaking skills of Sichuan people are far superior to those of the north. So Uraji sighed and said, if this Sichuan liquor was bought in the north, it would definitely make a lot of profit. Northern liquor was affected by the climate and fermented as well, which led to mostly northern liquors being strong, and northern people were used to drinking strong liquors.
This Sichuan liquor has both the strongest liquor in the north and the mellow liquor in the south, and can be said to be the best among the wine. Dongfang Hong suddenly slapped his thigh and said that we have never thought of any way to develop the Youth Promotion Research Association since we entered Sichuan. It would be better to use this Sichuan liquor to monopolize business and attract Sichuan warlords to support our Youth Promotion Research Association. If they support us, they will return to the territory and make the people vote with us. In this way, the entire Sichuan senator seat will belong to us.
Uraji was very surprised that Dongfang Hong actually wanted to use the army to control the people's votes. This was an obvious cheating behavior. How could it be a joke? Dongfang Hong hurriedly said that Sichuan has not accepted reorganization yet. The Sichuan Army is not considered a national defense force, and we are not considered to be a violation of Xiushuai's requirements. It was just a small change. Then Dongfang Hong said: "Third Master, you can rely on your own identity to win over the Sichuan warlords to accept reorganization. There is also a reward for Xiushuai. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to get the benefits of both sides? Why both sides have to follow the rules? If everyone abide by the rules, it would be fine, but how can our Youth Promotion Research Association have time to grow? The Kuomintang, the Progressive Party, and the National Rejuvenation Party have all been parties for at least seven or eight years. We have only established the second year and we have no time."
After considering it, Uraji decided to take a risk and be a broker, fooling Sichuan warlords here and Wang Maoru on the other side, and fighting for the support of Wang Maoru and Sichuan warlords. Wang Maoru hopes to be unified as soon as possible. Sichuan warlords hope to have enough interests and power, so they must be intermediaries, try to win the interests of both sides, and try their best to win their own interests.
The Sichuan warlords gave Uraji face mostly because he was Wang Maoru's sworn brother. The Sichuan warlords did not feel that there was much benefit in the liquor business. Everyone was more concerned about the business of big smoke. If the Smoking ban Bureau gave up suppressing the Sichuan tobacco business, these supervisors could really get money. Uraji patted his chest and promised that the conditions would definitely be met. Moreover, if the Sichuan army was reorganized, their troops would be more and more.
Urji tried to send a telegram to Wang Maoru, saying that the Sichuan warlords were interested in accepting reorganization, but he did not dare to make decisions. Wang Maoru and the Army Department saw the telegram and were a little unbelievable. Why did Urji suddenly run to Sichuan? He also stole Zhang Kui'an's work and attracted the Sichuan warlords to talk about reorganization. He knew a lot about reorganization. However, since the Sichuan warlords were interested in accepting reorganization, and Zhang Kui'an ran to Guangxi to lobby Lu Rongting, Urji did a good thing, and then sent an invitation letter to ask the Sichuan warlords to send a delegation to Beijing for details.
Uraji took this telegram to polish Dongfang Hong, and became Xiushuai enthusiastically invited Liu Xiang and others to Beijing to award medals and discuss the reorganization of the Sichuan Army. Uraji was not good at hiding profits from both sides, but Dongfang Hong did it with ease and took advantage of both sides. Seeing that Dongfang Hong was very good at it, Uraji handed over the task to him and he had full authority to handle it. As long as he could please the Sichuan military, the Youth Promotion Research Association would definitely get votes in Sichuan, where the National Defense Forces did not control it strictly.
After considering it, Liu Xiang and others decided to accept Wang Maoru's "sincere" invitation, and Liu Xiang expressed that he was willing to take the delegation to Beijing in person.
Uriji called Wang Maoru again and said that Liu Xiang and others were willing to negotiate, but they had to accept the rank of awards from the National Defense Forces before they could be sure that the National Defense Forces were interested in peace.
Wang Maoru thought to himself that this was difficult. If the Sichuan warlords accepted the reorganization, they would naturally carry out military system reform and their military ranks would be re-established. So the power generation said that it was absolutely OK and Jie Shi could personally issue military ranks to them.
Now Uraji ran to Liu Xiang and others and said that Wang Maoru was going to personally award them a medal. As for the military rank, he was not aware of it. But you should first show sincerity. The deeper the sincerity, the higher the military rank in the future, and the more stubborn the ones, they will definitely settle the score in the future.
After the Sichuan warlords discussed, Liu Xiang, as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, announced that the Sichuan Army was reorganized by the National Defense Forces and went to Beijing to receive the award ceremony. On the same day, Zhang Zuolin's Phoenix Army destroyed three thousand Guizhou troops in Fenghuang County, bordering Sichuan, Guizhou and Hunan, which shocked Guizhou's Guizhou's Guizhou's Guizhou.
The Guizhou Army has always occupied the land of Hunan, Sichuan and plundered resources from the two provinces to support the Guizhou Army. After the National Defense Army recovered Hunan, Zhang Zuolin ordered Yan Xishan's troops of the 27th Division to immediately go to the Fenghuang and Mayang occupied by the Guizhou Army and eliminate the Guizhou Army. Yan Xishan and Zhang Zuolin had a deep conflict, and he knew that Zhang Zuolin would give him a little shoes. The eight counties occupied by the Guizhou Army were located in the mountainous ethnic minorities in western Hunan, and the local regime was mostly in the hands of various chieftains, and the terrain was complex and mostly mountainous areas, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, Yan Xishan was sending people to fight.
