The small painting side that Gubei was riding leaned on. The boatman with the big picture set up the gangplank. Ditch put the two ships together, Zhao Bei, Lan Tianwei and others boarded the big painting side, just look at the faces of the boatmen to know that they have recognized the commander-in-chief, speaking of the propaganda team is still very effective, in order to improve the commander-in-chief's popularity at the same time. It has also made it much more difficult for the commander-in-chief to visit Weifu Huan, and now the commander-in-chief's uniform half-length photo can be seen everywhere in Wuhan, and the people of Wuhan may not necessarily know President Yuan, but they definitely know the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief laughed, Tan didn't know anything about the financial industry, what was the fun? However, the commander-in-chief is not talking at the moment, but it is a little incomprehensible. Tan Yandi saw that Zhao Bei did not hide his identity, and Suo Xìng no longer shouted "Mr. Zhao".

At this time, another person came out of the cabin, it was Wang Xuan, the plenipotentiary envoy of Zhang Renjun, the governor of Guangdong. And introduced the two men who then came out of the cabin to the commander-in-chief.

"This Dai halberd, the word Teruo, Guizhou Guiding people, returned from studying abroad last year, served as the supervisor of the Henan Political Science and Law School, and the southern revolution began. Yuan Xiangcheng raised righteousness in the north, followed Ruo's brother has always praised the establishment of the constitution, so he actively campaigned, urging Yufu to respond to Yuan Xiangcheng's call for a constitution, the republic was established, and President Yuan praised the merits and announced that he was the superintendent of the old mines in Yunnan. That Liu Xianqian, the word is like abyss, Guizhou Xingyi's family. The Xingyi Liu family is a local wealthy family. It is a scholarly family. It is also the leader of the regiment training, under the Wenzhi martial arts, such as Brother Yuan can also be regarded as a blue, born as a patrol battalion outpost, in Guizhou, Guangxi led the troops for many years, the military achievements are impressive, the official to the patrol general management belt, the revolutionary army Xing, but also responded positively, when the first southern expedition was built, it was the lead of the troops to fight back, into the revolution, this is the revolutionary hero. However, the officialdom was sinister, jealous, excluded, lost office, and the county was able to return to his hometown gloomily, passing through Wuhan, staying in the Guizhou Guild Hall, and meeting us in the guild hall, so he took advantage of the sunny time to get ready to travel, drinking and writing poems on this East Lake, and did not want to be fortunate to shrug the commander-in-chief, we were really flattered. If the commander-in-chief does not dislike it, he may wish to go to the painting to have a drink, and if there is any teaching, we will also listen to it. ”

Wang Xuan's words were polite, this cowhide was also blown to the sky and the earth, bluffing others, but not the commander-in-chief.

That's fine. Dai Jigang is just a political speculator in this troubled world" As for that Liu Xianqian, it is simply the so-called "local tyrant" in the textbook who not only has strong economic power, but also has strong political power, and belongs to the object of Zhuo's life, and it is precisely because of the large number of such people mixed in the army that the Xin Zhen Revolution gave up halfway, failed to bring Zhongxian to prosperity and strength, but created an era of warlords.

Of course, Ran Bei would not show his disgust for this kind of local tyrant in person, and after Wang Xuan introduced the sheep, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shake hands with the other party.

"Fortunately, fortunately. Ten times I saw in the newspaper the list of members of the Guizhou Army, and there was a Liu Xianshi, who was also a member of the Guizhou Xingyi clan. It's just that I don't know what it has to do with Brother Liu Ruyuan? . Zhao Bei asked casually.

"In the next is Liu Xianshi's brother, the word Xianshi is like a boat, the army is earlier than in the next, and he also tends to be politically enlightened, a few years ago in Xingyili to run a newspaper reading office, Tianzu Society, Xingbei new style school, the revolution both rose, and actively responded to the revolutionaries, the founding of the country broke out, the Communist Party of China invaded Guibang, such as the boat led the uprising, and the Guizhou Army was established after the establishment of the Senate. Accidentally, the commander-in-chief laughed, and was driven out of Guangxi this time, and he was really cornered, so he had to go back to Guizhou to join his brother. I really didn't expect that the officialdom was dark before the revolution, and the officialdom became even darker after the revolution, and there was no distinction between right and wrong, good and bad. ”

Li Xian sighed as he spoke, looking heartbroken.

Zhao Bei also shook his head and sighed again and again, but he was sneering in his heart. The reason why the earthquake occurred in Guangxi officialdom was not a simple struggle for power. It was an officialdom revolution, and now it is the League and the Guangfu Society that govern Guangxi, although the two catties of small organizations are constantly rough, but the attitude towards the old Manchu ministers is highly consistent, when the first establishment of the ** south expedition to Guangxi. Guangxi's patrol battalion can be regarded as die-hards, the troops of the League and the Liberation Society have suffered a lot of losses, and later Guangxi according to the inspector Wang Zhixiang in Guilin to change banners, plus the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor Xiliang was bombarded by the French, Guangxi, Yunnan Manchu diehards have no leader, the formation is in chaos, Guangxi patrol battalion is forced to announce "anyway" This Liu Xianqian is only afraid that this Liu Xianqian is also so changed his position, now the revolution is humble and stable, the republic Jiang An, the army zhèngfǔ The battle for the official position was immediately launched, and there were more monks and less porridge, Naturally, the League and the Restoration Society will not allow those old-fashioned figures to stay in important positions, and the situation in Guangxi is more stable than that in Hunan, and there is no need to win over the constitutionalists, so in recent times, a large number of former Qing officials who have lost their official positions have appeared in Guangxi, and the civil and military affairs are mixed, and it seems that the League and the Restoration Society are planning to seriously manage the territory of Guangxi. ** Starter, hand. Beat**

Firmly lying in the Juxi base area, the next target of the Danmeng and the Guangfu Society was Guangdong, so many dismissed Guangxi officials rushed to Guangdong one after another to take in Zhang Renjun, the governor of Guangdong. From this point of view, that Zhang Dudu has made up his mind to "fight against the same enemy".

The strange thing is that this Liu Xianqian did not stay in the east to serve.

"Brother Ruyuan doesn't have to be discouraged, the situation in Hubei is not the same as Ke Gou's bark, the commander-in-chief recruits talents from all over the world, Ruyuan is not in the army, if he stays in Hubei, whether he goes to the Republican Army or the Revolutionary Guards, he always makes the best use of his talents."

Lan Yaowei obviously didn't know the position of the commander-in-chief, and Liu Xianqian had been an officer of the patrol battalion for many years. This thirst for talent is exposed. However, this cannot be blamed on him, now the military is the first, and in any case, the recruitment of this military talent is the most concerned issue for this chief of general staff.

Zhao Bei listened silently, because the first impression was not good, he didn't want to win over this old officer, but Lan Tianwei's words reminded him of another thing.

After the outbreak of the War of the Founding of the People's Republic of China, because the main attention of the Republican Army was in Sichuan, Guizhou fell into the hands of the Communist Association, and now the governor of Guijing is the backbone of the Communist Association, Jiao Dafeng, this person has a firm revolutionary position, but he has some views on the Republican Army and Zhao Jing, and belongs to the hawkish figures in the Communist Association.

In addition, the Guizhou army still has troops stationed in the Nanna area of Sichuan, and there is constant friction with Tian Zhenbang, the town guard of southern Sichuan, which has affected the stability of southern Sichuan, and the current Communist Party of China can be said to have become a major obstacle to the commander-in-chief's southwest strategy. And just the other day, the de facto leader of the Communist Party. Sun Wupai, the governor of Hunan, sent a telegram and took a clear position in support of the merger of the League and the Guangfu Society to form a big party. Although it is not explicitly stated that the CCP will also join this party, the intention is quite interesting.

The Communion Association wants to pull in a backer.

Due to the defeat in the battle for Sichuan with the Republican Army. Now the Communist Association is seeking to develop its power in the southern provinces with all its might, after the fall of Xiliang. Yunnan and Guangxi are in a mess. It was the best time for external forces to infiltrate, and the League and the Guangfu Society had taken control of Guangxi, and the Gongjin Association had targeted Yunnan. Although it is far less rich than Sichuan, it also has salt and towers, and it is adjacent to the French colony of Vietnam, which is convenient for foreign trade counties, and it is far away from the north and the transportation is inconvenient, so it is indeed an ideal rear base.

However, this base is also an important part of Zhaobei's southwest strategy, and the industry will be the commander-in-chief, but it can't stay there, and considering that there will be a tendency for the alliance and the recovery of the rest of the world to converge, the so-called "side of the couch can not allow others to sleep soundly?". "Zhao Bei will never tolerate the emergence of a strong competitor in his rear. This competitor is still an ally.

However, if the Communist Party is blatantly driven out by force and annexes Guizhou and Hunan alone, this is a "betrayal of the revolution" that will weaken the prestige of the commander-in-chief, not to mention that the revolutionaries in the south will not agree, even the president of the north, Yuan Da, probably will not sit idly by, the commander-in-chief understands the principle of balance, and Yuan Xiangcheng, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, does not understand? Now the republican army has sat on Hubei, and if Guizhou and Hunan are annexed again, this is what the history books call "princes." "It's going to threaten the central power.

Yuan Shikai alone is not terrible, but if Yuan Shikai uses the excuse of "betraying the revolution" to unite with the Southern Revolutionary Party, it will not be easy to deal with.

Therefore, in recent times, Zhao and Renzhi have had a headache for this, in the final analysis, it is still insufficient strength, insufficient military strength, and it is difficult to start a business. One of the tastes knows for yourself.

However, no matter how difficult it is to start a business, this southwest strategy must also be implemented, and it is for this reason that Zhao Beicai met with Tan Yanhui and Wang Xuan a few days ago. Find another opportunity to swallow Hunan and Guizhou in one bite.

"Brother Ruyuan, Chief of Staff Lan is right. If you don't dislike my hardships here, stay there. I'll give you an officer, at least a brigade commander. ”

Zhao Bei pondered for a moment, and Anding started with this Liu Xian, since he couldn't blatantly attack the revolutionary comrades, he could only borrow the hands of others.

But he never thought about it, I don't know if it was because the official gave it or if the other party had other plans, Liu Xianqian politely declined the commander-in-chief's kindness.

"The commander-in-chief carries love. Contemptible. It's just that now I'm tired of fame and fortune and officialdom. Plus the exhaustion. I want to go back to my hometown to recuperate for a while, and I have been wandering for many years, and I hope the commander-in-chief will understand this wanderer's homesickness. ”

Although Dai Bei, Wang Xuan and others persuaded him, Liu Xian looked resolute and just blindly excused Lan Tianwei's retention.

Later, everyone also saw Mingran. This Liu Xianqian is indeed not modest, he is really in a hurry to return to his hometown, Bian is matter will be stopped, everyone accompanied the commander-in-chief into the ship's cabin, recalled the boatmen on the side of the small painting, reorganized the wine and food, and continued to swim leisurely on this East Lake.

In the staggered wishes, Zhao Bei still maintained a trace of sobriety, looking at Wang Xuan and Dai Jie, who were really drunk. Let's take a look at Liu Xianqian and Tan Yanhui, who are fake drunk. I always feel that these people gathering on this East Lake is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Since this Liu Tuhao is in a hurry to return to his hometown. But why did you stay in Wuhan for a long time? ”

With this catty, the Commander-in-Chief fell into deep thought. Fistfighting
