Chapter 81 Suppression and Catchment

In July, the historic Sijiu City in Beijing became extremely hot. After a sudden shower, the afternoon in Beijing was like a steamer, and it was difficult to breathe on the street. ( .com)

The vast and elegant Zheng Wang Mansion has been moved out of the large ice cubes stored in winter to cool down. The cool and pleasant Prime Minister's study uses an electric fan made in the United States, but Yuan Shikai still feels hot and unbearable.

Putting down the latest newspaper in his hand gently, Yuan Shikai stood up and walked to the window, fell into deep thought. Liang Shiyi, Yang Du, Wang Shizhen and others were sitting in the spacious study, holding the iced tremella soup and savoring it quietly. No one dared to disturb President Yuan's thoughts.

“Too fast, so surprising!”

This thought circled in Yuan Shikai's mind for a long time and could not be removed.

The Sichuan Army's series of strategies before and after the entire battle, as well as the strong blood and obedience shown by various troops, not only stunned the warlords in various places, but even the Beiyang generals were unbelievable. The newspapers published in China made comments on this, and all of them were looking at the Sichuan Army, which had been overlooked and was located in the far western inland areas of China.

Major newspapers across the country have been publishing the Battle of Sichuan and Yunnan for half a month, and with extremely enthusiastic and extremely inflammatory brushwork, they have described each process of the battle in detail. However, for Yuan Shikai and his confidants who are deliberately watching the battle, the final result is still uncomprehensible and unacceptable.

The process and consequences of this battle greatly shocked Yuan Shikai and his confidants. Before, I was afraid that the whole world would not have thought that the Sichuan Army would eventually win the war, nor did they think that the two sides used more than 30,000 officers and soldiers to fight, and the dust fell into the ground after only three days. In the end, the powerful Yunnan Army took the initiative to seek peace.

Now, Xiao Yimin's name has spread all over the world. Major newspapers in Europe and the United States have praised the young Sichuan Army Commander, such praise as "the most dazzling new star in the Chinese world" and "the most modern war-minded Chinese commander". Such praises have quickly become popular in major newspapers in China. Even the atrocities of killing prisoners and prisoners under the anger of the Sichuan Army officers and soldiers in the war were praised as "Kang and firm and moving forward."

What Yuan Shikai and his confidants most cannot tolerate was that Xiao Yiming, who grew rapidly and became famous, showed a "wise ruler". Xiao Yimin was very cunning and visionary. He first caught the Yunnan army off guard and was bleeding. Then he completed the peace talks cleanly. With a high attitude of compassion for the world, he sent a bewitching slogan to the people of the two provinces and hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists, "Stop the painful disputes between brothers, comply with the sufferings of the people of the two provinces, live in harmony and develop hand in hand" and ended the battle between Sichuan and Yunnan very beautifully.

As soon as this move was made, it was strongly welcomed and praised by all walks of life in the country and European and American powers. Such a typical dirty and obedient behavior actually made this young man who came from a teapot runner-up hall more famous, which made him win great favor from all walks of life in China and abroad, and major domestic newspapers even praised him to heaven.

After a long sigh, Yuan Shikai walked to the sofa where several confidants were sitting, sat on the main seat reserved for him, took the ice-cold wet towel offered by the servant, wiped his shiny forehead, threw down the towel and asked helplessly: "Have Cai E's order issued?"

Wang Shizhen quickly replied:

"It has been issued and has been known to the newspapers in the capital. I believe that after this battle, Cai Songpo was also disheartened. The defeat caused the intensification of internal conflicts among the Yunnan Provincial Government. Rich businessmen in various places were afraid of the spread of war, so they demanded to stop the troops and stop supporting the Yunnan Army. The public opinion position in Yunnan suddenly changed. The morale of the Yunnan Army was low, and generals at all levels had their own worries. The Tongmenghui stumbled again without caring about it, demanding the reorganization of the Yunnan Provincial Government and clarifying the military's responsibilities. People from all aspects made a big comeback. They made a lot of fun."

"As expected, Sun Dapao's mobs were all in trouble, and they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos! Once a defeat in the battle, he forced Yunnan, which was known as the ironclad, out of his true face. The ancient saying goes, the defeat of the army is like a mountain falling down, and everyone pushes it down. Sure enough!" Yuan Shikai was extremely moved.

Liang Shiyi nodded frequently and reported the recent situation and analysis results in detail:

"This is enough to make Cai Songpo, who holds the military and political power in the province, feel powerless. According to the secret reports sent back by Yunnan recently, the generals under Cai Songpo were divided, and many instructors from other provinces in the Yunnan Military Academy left Kunming one after another with various excuses. We believe that Cai Songpo will soon be undermined by the Tongmenghui and local forces that took the opportunity to seize power. The latest chapter of the Hall.com

"Faced with such a difficult situation, if Cai Songpo continues to stay in Yunnan, it will be of no benefit to him. At this time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to temporarily leave the right and wrong place under the pretext of being transferred to Beijing."

Yuan Shikai nodded: "Very good! Cai Songpo is an excellent military talent. As long as he arrives in Beijing, he will not be able to break free from my control... When the group of mobs in Tongmenghui hit the head and slowly wake up, he may think of Cai Songpo's banner of rebellion, and he will definitely come to poach the corner. I will definitely not allow him to leave again."

“That’s exactly that.”

Yang Du echoed gracefully and asked Yuan Shikai with a smile: "What are the considerations of the situation in Sichuan?"

Yuan Shikai was quite annoyed: "What else do you think? Xiao Yimin violated the central government's orders and started the war, which caused trouble to all people. He had to withdraw his military and political ministers... Fortunately, I was quite cautious and did not give him the position of deputy governor of Sichuan, otherwise I would not know how arrogant this boy would be? Now I think about it, Zhang Peijue, the deputy governor who was forced away by Yin Changheng, was so thin that he had only a duck-mouthed one left, which made me feel more worry-free."

Everyone was amused and laughed loudly. The elegant Yang Du couldn't help but feel happy.

After laughing, Yang Du whispered: "Master, Xiao Yimin's reputation is currently high, so it is not advisable to suppress it too much, otherwise it may be criticized by all parties in China and abroad. I suggest that the Master should express his opposition to the Battle of Sichuan and Yunnan, preferably with a heartbreaking attitude, so as to publicize military discipline to all walks of life across the country, and take advantage of Xiao Yimin's position as Minister of Military Affairs of Sichuan and Political Affairs, retain his appointment as commander-in-chief of the border army, and then send a special person to Chengdu to appease him.

"The general's newly forged precious medals, you might as well bring a few hanging on Xiao Yimin's chest to commend him for sending an elite brigade soldier to quell the Sichuan-Kang rebellion. At the same time, he praised Hu Jingyi and the generals of the Sichuan Army's divisions, and promoted them to the first level. It would be more appropriate to deal with them in this way. At least it would not give the southern forces an opportunity to take advantage of them, and still let the entire Sichuan listen to the tune and listen to the Xuan, firmly in the hands of the general."

"Good plan!" Liang Shiyi praised the high-high.

Wang Shizhen suddenly realized and nodded frequently. Yang Du's move was indeed wonderful. It not only weakened Xiao Yimin's rapid expansion of influence, but also removed the military power of Sichuan Province that he was about to obtain, but also won over the generals of various Sichuan troops. It would not completely anger Xiao Yimin. Xiao Yimin would not run to the Tongmenghui in anger. As long as you wait for a while, after the calm, you can completely follow the changes in the situation in Sichuan and continue to use various means.

How smart Yuan Shikai was? He laughed loudly when he heard this, and praised Yang Du, who was full of knowledge, and his heart was completely disheartened.

On July 15, a week after the Sichuan-Yunnan negotiation agreement was announced, Xiao Yimin led his elite troops and various division generals to return to Chengdu, and was welcomed by the Chengdu people.

Colorful flags were waving inside and outside the city, and gongs and drums were clamoring. Representatives from all walks of life came out of the city to welcome them. The dense crowd stood solemnly under the carefully built Arc de Triomphe outside the east gate, looking up and looking forward.

The Grand Governor Hu Jingyi led all civil and military officials to welcome him with fine wine. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were crowded with darkness and crowded with the city. From a distance, the fiery red flying leopard battle flags were seen, and the earth-shaking cheers sounded, and the sound of drums and music sounded loudly, and the deafening sounds were overturned and soaring into the sky.

Xiao Yimin and the generals did not dare to be proud of their achievements. They all turned over and dismounted from the horse from fifty meters away. They lined up in an orderly manner amid the huge cheers, and quickly walked towards civil and military officials such as Hu Jingyi, holding fine wine and greeting each other with a smile. This move immediately won greater cheers from the people.

The slightly worried look in Hu Jingyi and others' eyes disappeared. More than ten civil officials and elders praised Xiao Yimin and the generals for being humble and respectful, neither arrogant nor arrogant. They all smiled and took turns to take turns to return. The generals who must return in triumphant drink three big bowls, and then they spoke endlessly to express their praise.

Compared with the heroism and pride of Zhou Jun, Wang Lingji, Peng Guanglie and other generals, Xiao Yimin's performance was very appropriate, and he was still so elegant, elegant, humble and realistic, and he did not make any contribution to every question and answer with you.

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Yimin saw his beloved wife among a group of familiar left-behind guards in front of the left, and quickly clasped his fists to Hu Jingyi and many senior officials to apologize. He jogged in front of Yi Zhenying and smiled at her with love.

Yi Zhenying didn't expect Xiao Yimin to come over in public? She was so embarrassed that she wanted to get in the back of the guards and hide, but the guards with ambiguous smile on their faces refused to let him go. As a result, Xiao Yiming grabbed his hands tightly and stared at them affectionately, causing bursts of laughter and cheers from the surrounding military and civilians.

Countless women admire Xiao Yimin's behavior, cheering and imagining, wishing that Xiao Yimin would hold his hands tightly in his palm.

Hundreds of male and female students leaned over and looked at each other with envy. The boys praised Commander Xiao for his courage to love and hate, and his persistent and dedicated heroic character. The girls were moved to their eyes and quickly followed a few out-of-control female companions to shout wildly. Where was there a little girl's reserve and shyness?

Yi Zhenying was both afraid and moved. If it weren't for too many people, she really wanted to throw herself into the arms of her beloved man and hug him. The deep love and warmth in Xiao Yimin's eyes had already made Yi Zhenying's eyes flushed with happiness. If it weren't for the white gauze on the sun hat covering her face, countless people would have seen the irrepressible weakness and touching in her rolling tears.

Fortunately, Xiao Yimin was not so bold that he was unscrupulous. He easily opened his wife's hand, picked up the seven-year-old Xiao Xue beside Yi Zhenying and turned around, kissed Xiao Xue's red face hard, making Xiao Xue, who was giggling with her beard, avoided him hard, and then put Xiao Xue down, saying "Eat dinner together tonight", he returned to a group of senior officials, and turned over a horse amid the sound of drums and music, firecrackers, and led the soldiers of various troops to follow the commander-in-chief and his party, and lined up into the city with pride.

Wherever the team went, there were cheers and firecrackers, and the entire Chengdu city was decorated with lights and colors, just like a festival.

Zhou Jun came immediately, walked with Xiao Yimin, looked at the people who were cheering on both sides of the street, and spoke loudly: "Commander-in-chief, it's worth dying if you want this one in your life!"

Xiao Yimin nodded slightly: "Yes! The Sichuan Army has been weak for a long time, and it is rare to win a battle, which gives the villagers the opportunity to vent. I believe that such scenes will not be just like this once, and there will be more and more in the future!"

The smile on Zhou Jun's face slowly disappeared, and even the war horse under his crotch slowed down. After pondering, he raised his head and found that he was behind him. Peng Guanglie and Chen Jing had already caught up.
