Volume 1 Turbulent Times Chapter 123: The Realm of Thick Darkness
Sichuan warlord Liu Cunhou was also a member of the Tongmenghui in his early years, and participated in the Kunming Chongjiu Uprising during the Wuchang Uprising to echo the revolution. When Cai E led the Yunnan Army to Sichuan, he appointed Liu Cunhou as Chief of General Staff of the Yunnan Army and followed the army to Sichuan. He later left the Yunnan Army and switched sides.
Yin Changheng, Governor of Sichuan, was appointed commander of the Fourth Town of the Sichuan Army and later changed to commander of the Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army.
During the Second Revolution, Liu Cunhou sized up the situation, shouted slogans to support the central government in Sichuan, and sent troops to attack Xiong Kewu's troops, which made Xiong Ke's military success fall short. He was commended by the central government and appointed as a guard envoy to guard Chongqing. This time
Riot,Liu Cun
Hou was not idle either. He was one of the people who threatened the central government with the local government and forced Song Jiaoren to submit. However, Liu Cunhou had always been a well-rounded person and did not go as far as others. He followed the trend and secretly suppressed others.
His little calculation, paying close attention to the central government's actions...
When the central government sent the National Defense Forces into various provinces to suppress the riots and decided to use force to solve the problem, Liu Cunhou in Chongqing immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly sent several groups of troops to various places to find out the situation.
"Commander! The National Defense Forces are so powerful that Lu Shidi, Liu Yunfeng and other troops were defeated and fled in defeat."
"What's going on? Come on, come on! Tell me carefully!" Liu Cunhou was startled when he heard this and hurriedly asked the person who came.
According to the reports, Cao Kun's 3rd Division stationed in Hunan divided its troops into two routes, one heading southeast to march into Jiangxi and Fujian with the cooperation of the 8th Division, and the other heading west along the Yangtze River into Sichuan. At the same time, the 5th Division of the National Defense Force passed through Shaanxi and Gansu.
Entering Sichuan from north to south, even the 7th Division stationed in Lu Jianzhang, Shaanxi Province, although it had not received any transfer orders from the central government, was ready to move and put up a posture of attacking northern Sichuan.
The large-scale entry of the National Defense Forces into Sichuan caused great fear among local warlords, especially Lu Shidi, Liu Yunfeng and other troops. In order to maintain their territory, they immediately mobilized their troops to keep the National Defense Forces out of the provincial border, but they did not expect that the two sides had just touched each other.
He was beaten head-on and fell into pieces.
"Impossible! Liu Yunfeng has a few soldiers, but Lu Shidi's Sichuan Army's Fifth Division has thousands of people. How could it collapse in such a small number?" Liu Cunhou frowned, feeling incredible.
Speaking of Lu Shiti, he was also a member of the alliance in his early years. He was very familiar with Liu Cunhou and the friendship between the two parties was not shallow. However, Lu Shiti had a closer relationship with Sun Wen. He took the initiative to join KMT after they parted ways with the Revolutionary Party.
Sun Wen, Lu Shidi’s Fifth Division of the Sichuan Army and Liu Cunhou’s Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army were Xiong Kewu’s second revolution.
After the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, the two largest forces in Sichuan, their personnel and equipment were by no means inferior to Liu Cunhou. From Liu Cunhou's point of view, the National Defense Forces would definitely be more dangerous if they came with bad intentions. (1_1) But how could they resist one or two? Who would have thought that Lu Shidi would
The fifth division of the Sichuan Army and Liu Yunfeng's mixed brigade were completely defeated as soon as they came into contact?
"Commander, these bastards from the Third Division and the Fifth Division of the National Defense Force are really tough!" The man who went to inquire about the news should have escaped with the defeated army. His face was black and white, and even the shoes on his feet were
They all lost one and said with horror on their faces: "Before Marshal Lu and the others set up their formation, the National Defense Forces on the opposite side didn't even say hello.
As soon as they heard the sound, they rushed over, with machine guns and cannons. They set them up and hit the heads of the brothers in Marshal Lu's army. Even Brigadier Liu sent people over to call for a timeout and refused to stop. He insisted on
Everyone is going to hell. Commander, these bastards are really unruly. If we continue like this, we will make it difficult for everyone!"
"What an idiot!" Liu Cunhou was so angry that he immediately uttered a curse word and cursed Lu Shiti and others as idiots. On weekdays, his brothers would drag the troops out to have fun over trivial matters, just to join in the fun or something.
Forget it, no matter whether you win or lose, the meat will rot in the pot anyway. It’s easy to discuss things between brothers. But this time
It’s different. Now that we have come to this point, we actually regard the National Defense Forces as one of our own. Are we used to fighting stable wars? The central government has made such a strong determination and sent hundreds of thousands of elite troops to suppress it. Do we still think it is a war?
Can't you just show off? An Yi? An Yi is a big-headed guy! No wonder he collapses in one beating, idiot! They are all idiots!
Liu Cunhou cursed loudly, and the guy who reported the news was so frightened that he shut up and said nothing. After cursing, Liu Cunhou remembered to ask how many troops Lu Shidi and others had left, and where the National Defense Forces had already attacked.
"This... I don't know much about this. Commander, you don't know. At that time, the army was defeated like a mountain, and there were brothers running for their lives everywhere. I panicked and ran with them. How could I have the time to pay attention to these?"
The man replied very aggrievedly.
"You... you're a loser!" Liu Cunhou was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. If it weren't for the fact that he was somewhat related to this guy, he would have wanted to drag him down and chop him down. He walked around the room several times, panting.
, Liu Cunhou then sat back on the Taishi chair, raised his left hand and waved back, and an orderly immediately handed over a pipe filled with tobacco paste.
After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Liu Cunhou, who was restless and restless, looked much better, and his mind seemed to be clearing up at the same time.
"Someone is coming!"
"Commander!" Soon, several close officers who were waiting outside rushed in. When they saw Liu Cunhou sitting with a cigarette and a sword, they quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Send my order to the general!" Liu Cunhou ordered: "Except for leaving the 19th regiment to garrison in Chongqing, the rest are mixed into brigades, regiments, and battalions to assemble immediately! Follow me to send troops!"
"Commander, are we going to fight the 3rd Division or the 5th Division?" A regiment commander who had long disliked the National Defense Force asked excitedly after hearing Liu Cunhou's order.
"It's better to fight the third division. I heard that the old rabbit Cao Kun is the least useful, and the third division has fewer people than the fifth division. It's easiest to beat him!" Another regiment leader quickly suggested.
"Yes, yes! Let's attack Cao Kun's third division. This is a good suggestion! In my opinion, when the time comes, everyone will capture Cao Kun, the old rabbit, and how many brothers will treat him well for a night?" The others agreed in succession.
, one of them even joked with a smile, winking and looking like everyone understood, which made everyone happy.
"Okay, okay! Haha! Hahaha!"
"What a fart! You're laughing so hard!" Liu Cunhou, who was sitting at the top, put the cigarette on the table hard, and the loud bang startled everyone. Liu Cunhou looked unkind and looked at him.
With a solemn look, he quickly closed his mouth.
"Lu Shidi, Liu Yunfeng and others segregated local areas, resisted the central government, and caused trouble for one party, thus stimulating a civil uprising. As the garrison envoy of Chongqing and the commander of the Fourth Division of the Sichuan Army, I, the general, was unable to stop their perverse behavior.
What a shame for the country and the people of Sichuan! Now the central government is sending troops to rescue the Sichuan people
In order to implement the government's constitutional government and complete the separation of local military and civilian governments, it is like a long drought that brings rain, which is a blessing to the people of Sichuan! It is a blessing to the country! Very fortunate! Very fortunate! In response to the call of the central government, our general decided to immediately mobilize troops to cooperate with the Central Defense Forces in the clearing campaign
The remnants of local warlords..."
Over there, Liu Cunhou spoke his orders with dignity and dignity. The officers under his command were dumbfounded for a moment. They looked at Marshal Liu with mouths open and his head shaking as he spoke, their heads full of mush.
"I said...is the Marshal smoking too many cigarettes and getting confused?" One person couldn't help but asked quietly.
"Gua Wa Zi, you are confused. Have you forgotten that our commander's name also has a word for thick?" A smart guy woke up in advance and reminded him quietly.
The person who asked the question at first suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, look at my pig brain, I am confused, I am confused, hey! Not to mention, the commander is indeed a commander! You can get it
You can put it down, it’s high! It’s really high!”
"That's right! How else can you become a commander like this? What is this called? Skill! Do you understand? Study hard. When you learn it one day, you can also be a commander."
"It makes sense! You have to learn, you have to learn, hehehe..."
Liu Cunhou's mouth went dry as he spoke the orders so fluently that he finally made the official announcement.
Finally, he ordered all the troops to gather immediately. The main goal of the entire army was to eliminate the remnants of the local warlords Lu Shidi, Liu Yunfeng, etc., and sent capable personnel to immediately contact the 3rd and 5th Divisions of the National Defense Forces on the front line to show that Marshal Liu supported the central government.
resolute
attitude. At the same time, a telegram was sent to the whole country by means of electricity, advising all local forces and warlords to step back from the brink as soon as possible, turn around, and take the maintenance of local order, national unity, and political stability as their great responsibility, and never become a sinner of the country and the nation.
When Liu Cunhou's message was sent out, everyone in the country, including the KMT, the Beiyang Clan, the Revolutionary Party, and the local armed forces, were all shocked. No one thought that Liu Cunhou, the leader of local forces and warlords, would actually do something like this at this time.
Zhao. Especially Lu Shidi and Liu Yunfeng, who were about to flee after being defeated and planned to join Liu Cunhou. They were even more shocked. They never thought that the brothers who were usually good enough to wear a pair of pants would be here at this time.
They betrayed themselves and stabbed themselves from behind. When they were angry and scolded, they did not dare to stop any longer. They hurriedly gathered the fleeing troops and fled towards Guizhou, bypassing Liu Cunhou's sphere of influence. When they received the news
Cao Kun and others, who were currently pursuing Lu Shidi, Liu Yunfeng and other troops, and planned to directly enter Chongqing, were also overwhelmed by Liu Cunhou's actions. For a moment, they didn't know whether to fight well or whether they were fighting.
It's good.
"Commander, what should we do? The people sent by Liu Cunhou have already arrived, saying that they will cooperate with us to eliminate the warlord." Taking Liu Cunhou's power supply, the people below asked Cao Kun dumbfounded.
"Damn it! This shameless Liu is really thick-skinned!" Cao Kun couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. This power-up and the envoys made him either hit or not. In desperation,
He could only order the troops to divide up again, with one unit continuing to pursue Lu Shidi, Liu Yunfeng and other troops who were fleeing towards Guizhou, while the other unit was temporarily stationary to wait for the central government to make a decision on Liu Cunhou. (To be continued...)
