Chapter 271: King of the Southwest!
The arrival of the Ding[***] Guard Division means that the battle of Yunnan has come to an end!
Even if he didn't know what the battle situation was outside, judging from the sound of gunshots, Tang Jiyao probably knew what was going to happen.
But he didn't panic, but sat there calmly, and played a film on the gramophone to listen to it.
Since things have come to this point, no matter how urgent it is, there is nothing more urgent, so it is better to simply relax and wait quietly.
Captain Long Yun walked in and glanced at the Overseer, "Overseer, enemy reinforcements have arrived. ”
"Oh." Tang Jiyao only said a simple "oh".
"Overseer, do you want to leave?"
"Leave? Are you still able to walk now? Tang Jiyao didn't mean to move at all.
"But I'm afraid the Overseers will be hurt."
Tang Jiyao laughed: "You don't know Wang Hengyue too well, he will let me go into the wilderness, and then drive me to Shanghai and Hong Kong, and will let me take away everything that belongs to me with 'great benevolence and righteousness', but he just won't kill me." Why? He is the teacher of righteousness, he is the lord of righteousness, and he wants to win a good reputation that everyone agrees with! ”
Speaking of this, Tang Jiyao laughed more and more sarcastically: "He will do anything, but he won't kill me." Let's go into the wilderness, let's go, get out of here, don't come back, this is his Wang Hengyue's territory, it's his Hengshuai's place, he is not only the king of Sichuan, he is also the king of the southwest! ”
Although he was still laughing there, Long Yun heard too much helplessness from this laughter
The three southwestern provinces will soon fall into the hands of Wang Hengyue, the king of Sichuan? King of the Southwest!
Tang Jiyao stood up: "Long Yunna, look at it, taking the three southwestern provinces is just his first step." He used Lu Rongting to fight us, consumed our strength, and took advantage of the Gui army and the Yue army to fight against Beiyang, and immediately sent troops to seize Yunnan. Did he, Lu Rongting, really think that Wang Hengyue would not make a move against Liangguang when he conquered Yunnan? It's ridiculous, it won't be long before he, Wang Hengyue, will make a move on Liangguang, and Lu Rongting's result is not much better than mine! ”
sneered a few times, laughed bitterly a few times, Tang Jiyao's voice was infinitely sad:
"When the time comes, either in Shanghai or in Hong Kong, I am one, Lu Rongting is one, two old things, sitting in a dilapidated small house, drinking a pot of wine, two old things that were invincible back then, what else can I do for the rest of my life? Lu Rongting asked me, 'Old fellow, why was you defeated by Wang Hengyue so quickly in Yunnan back then?' "I, tell him, 'It's not like you're an old thing, you beat me Yunnan first, but Wang Hengyue picked a cheap one?' So neither of us two old things was convinced, you and I were arguing, but at that time, Wang Hengyue was sitting on the throne of the king of the southwest, no, maybe the president, and was laughing at us two fools! ”
"Overseer" Long Yun hesitated a little: "You said that he Wang Hengyue still wants to be the president?" ”
"Yes, of course, this man's ambition is so big." Tang Jiyao sighed: "He has endured from a small team officer for so many years, and then sat in the position of the king of the southwest, who else can stop him?" Sun Wen? He doesn't have an army! Duan Qirui? He only cares about competing for power and profit with those veterans in Beiyang. Wang Hengyue is like a wolf, eating all the prey one bite at a time! ”
Long Yun fell silent.
"Overseer, [***] have entered the city!" Zhao Youxin rushed in in a hurry.
"Got it, come in, come in." Tang Jiyao was not surprised at all: "Feng Jie, how is the situation of our troops?" ”
"It's very hard, the troops outside have been dragged down, and there are about two regiments that came up first, and there are new troops coming up just now!"
Tang Jiyao nodded: "Then stop fighting, let the brothers give up their weapons." ”
"What?" Long Yun and Zhao Youxin called out.
Zhao Youxin was a little anxious: "Overseer, we still have two divisions in our hands, and we can continue to resist, as long as I Zhao Youxin is here, we will never let [***] endanger my Kunming!" ”
"Forget it, forget it." Tang Jiyao seemed a little disheartened: "What about the two divisions? What if you can hold it today? Wang Hengyue has troops in his hands, and if two divisions are not enough, he can transfer four or eight divisions up. He can't fight today, and he hasn't played again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! ”
"But"
"Say no more." Tang Jiyao interrupted his subordinates: "Since defeat is unavoidable, then admit defeat, Wang Hengyue wants Yunnan, I will give it to him." Why do so many people die? Accumulate some virtue, so that we can vote for a good family in the next life. ”
Zhao Youxin was silent.
The Overseers were utterly despairing.
Actually, the Overseer is right, even if he can resist today, what's the use? It will continue to put troops into the battlefield
The gunfire stopped in Kunming!
On October 17, 1917, Tang Jiyao, the overseer of Yunnan, was electrified to go into the field.
At the same time, Liu Zhaocheng's department of the Seventh Brigade took over Kunming.
Like the Battle of Guizhou, the Battle of Yunnan also ended in the form of a quick battle.
The battle of Yunnan and Guizhou, Ding [***] fought in one word:
Fast!
Taking advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Gui Army and the Guangdong Army were attracted to the Hunan battlefield, they solved Yunnan and Guizhou in one fell swoop, so that they could not react at all, and then Wang Hengyue could naturally become:
King of the Southwest!
In the southwest, there are already three provinces under the control of Wang Hengyue!
Although Tang Jiyao went into the wilderness, he also got the treatment he deserved, just as he judged before, Wang Hengyue would not kill him.
Killing a fallen Overseer won't bring you a good reputation!
Like Liu Xianshi before him, Tang Jiyao was allowed to take everything he wanted to take with him, even if he couldn't take away the property for a while, or stay in Kunming, or sell it as he wished and deposit it in the bank he designated.
Some subordinates wanted to go with Tang Jiyao, but they were stopped by Tang Jiyao, and Tang Jiyao told them that staying here and following Wang Hengyue was more promising than following him.
Only Zhao Youxin insisted on not wanting to wear this military uniform anymore, and insisted on leaving with Tang Jiyao, and Tang Jiyao was left to him.
When he went out, Tang Jiyao saw Liu Zhaocheng, the young and heroic brigade commander, and Liu Zhaocheng saluted him:
"According to the order of Jiang Baili, the commander-in-chief of the [***] Southern Route Army, our brigade specially assigned a squad of soldiers to act as Mr. Tang's escort, where is Mr. Tang going?"
From "Tang Overseer" to "Mr. Tang", Tang Jiyao was a little uncomfortable, first stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was calling himself:
"I'm going to go through Guangxi, to Guangdong, and then to Hong Kong."
"Guangdong is very chaotic, Heng Shuai means that he wants to ask Mr. Tang to go to Shanghai first, and then arrange a boat to send Mr. Tang to the United States, where Mr. Tang is the most suitable place to live."
Tang Jiyao smiled sarcastically again.
Wang Hengyue is forcing himself to leave the country! Well, since this is the case, he has satisfied Wang Hengyue's meaning.
"I'm going to tell you Heng Shuai." Tang Jiyao pointed at Liu Zhaocheng: "I'll go to the United States and never come back." ”
"Thank you, sir."
After Liu Zhaocheng finished speaking, Tang Jiyao saw that Zhang Nanhe, who was mining in Yunnan, appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Tang, thank you for taking care of us in Yunnan." Zhang Nanhe said politely.
Tang Jiyao laughed: "You are also Wang Hengyue's person?" ”
"Yes, I was sent by Heng Shuai." Zhang Nanhe said very politely, and then asked someone to bring a suitcase: "Mr. Tang, here is a personal thank you from Dahongshan Copper Mine next year, a total of 100,000 oceans of silver tickets." In addition, there is a check for $10,000, issued by HSBC, please accept it from Mr. Tang! ”
"What does that mean?"
"It's not interesting, Mr. Tang just said that he went to the United States and never came back, my family Hengshuai thinks that Mr. Tang has always been big, and he will stay in the United States for a lifetime, and the expenses will always be required. So that's not a respect. Mr. Tang's property in Yunnan, we will soon convert it and send it to you. ”
"For a lifetime, for a lifetime" Tang Jiyao muttered these words, turned back to Zhao Youxin and said with a smile; "Let's go, we're not going to come back here."
Tang Jiyao also left.
This once invincible king of Yunnan has left here forever
"Hengshuai, Yunnan has been decided."
"Oh, what about Tang Jiyao?"
"Let's go, I'm going with Zhao Youxin."
"It's a pity, I still want to meet him." Wang Hengyue raised his body and asked strangely, "Huai Zhao, why can't I raise flowers for a long time?" ”
"As I said, Heng Shuai is not a person who grows flowers and fish."
"Don't raise it anymore, never raise it again." Throwing away the shovel knife in his hand, Wang Hengyue washed his hands: "Tell the soldiers in front of you to treat the soldiers of the Yunnan army who laid down their arms, and those who are willing to eat this bowl of rice should be reorganized according to the fixed [***] establishment treatment, and if they are unwilling, they should be given severance pay, don't be stingy, and the same is true for the Guizhou army." ”
"Yes, I have already been told."
Wang Hengyue wiped his hands: "Also, Yunnan's civil affairs work should also be grasped as soon as possible, the problem of Yuntu is very complicated, too much is involved, if we are not careful, we will be attacked by a group, we must be cautious and cautious, Yunnan and Guizhou we can get, if it is stabilized is the most critical." ”
"Yes, I'll tell you to go down." Wang Qinglu paused: "The Great Southwest Plan has been completed, Heng Shuai, now there are only two vast lands left, and you can put all your energy on this." ”
"Take your time, take your time. The problem of Liangguang is too responsible, and the slightest mistake will be wasted. ”
In October 1917, taking advantage of the fierce battle between the Gui Army and the Guangdong Army and the Beiyang Army in Hunan, Wang Hengyue sent troops on a large scale, and after launching the Guizhou Campaign and the Yunnan Campaign in succession, he finally ascended to the throne that countless people dreamed of:
King of the Southwest!
