While various localities were running for parliament in a lively manner, Wang Maoru, commander of the National Defense Forces and chief of the army, did not sit idle; he met with a delegation of the Sichuan Warlords Federation in Beijing, and the Sichuan warlords, headed by Liu Xiang, came to Beijing to discuss the reorganization of the Sichuan army. Just one day after Zhang Zuolin arrived in Hunan and forced all of Hunan to immediately announce the reorganization, the Sichuan warlords secretly met to discuss whether to fight to the death or accept the reorganization. What everyone wants is nothing more than power and money twice, life is bustling in the world just for money, and the Sichuan warlords have been fighting back and forth for so many years, isn't that all the picture? Since the Wehrmacht 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 the British and German foreign companies, but now because of the Wehrmacht's obstruction, the Sichuan warlords' arms have stopped. Now the Sichuan warlords have guns but no bullets, and they are still killing each other.

The Sichuan warlords led by Liu Xiang finally decided that after the Battle of Jingchuan, they would once again sit together to discuss the future of Sichuan. When the Sichuan warlords discussed, Hunan announced that it would accept the reorganization, and a few days later, Guangdong announced that it would accept the reorganization, and the pressure instantly made the Sichuan warlords breathless.

After several days of heated discussions, in the end, it was Sichuan Governor Liu Houcun who asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, is Sichuan the Sichuan of the Sichuan people, or the Sichuan of the Republic of China?" All the officers, including Liu Xiang, looked at him, and Liu Houcun said: "If it is the Sichuan of Sichuan, our Sichuan children will show their blood and fight to the death." If it is Sichuan of the Republic of China, why do you need to do that thing to split the country, just for your own selfishness. For their own power? ”

Everyone lowered their heads, but Liu Houcun said everyone's heart, his own selfishness. It's really selfish.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Houcun said: "I'll introduce you to a person, and then you will talk about it after you meet this person, how about it?" Then I invited someone to come in, and we saw a gentleman wearing a purple horse coat, a melon skin hat, and a pair of black sunglasses with a round bottom in his hand. Let me introduce myself first, I am Puji, the handsome brother of the purple emblem star. ”

Uratsugu's name is known to all of you. He became famous not because of anything else, but because of his luck, he and Wang Maoru intersected in adversity and worshiped as brothers of the opposite sex. This man had mediocre ability, but he rose all the way to the rank of major general of the Wehrmacht. Isn't it thanks to the luck of the early years? His luck was even luckier than the seven fairies falling from the sky while walking. After he hit the fortune and made a fortune, he didn't care how many wives he married, he was rich, powerful, powerful, and most importantly, he had the biggest backer in the country.

Pu Ji sat down and said, "Are you trying to arrest me?" And then force my brother-in-law not to invade Sichuan? ”

The language of the Sichuan people belongs to the northern language family, and Uratsugu speaks to them. There are no communication barriers other than a few accents to consider. The Sichuan pronunciation belongs to the northern pronunciation because whenever Sichuan has a historical war, it will always suffer a heavy blow. In 260 AD, the Shu Han Empire was destroyed, and the population of Bashu was seven or eight out of ten; In 310 A.D., there were five chaotic China, and Sichuan was slaughtered by the Di people; In 1250 AD, after Sichuan was conquered at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was slaughtered by the Mongols again; At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered Sichuan, but most of Zhang Xianzhong's massacres were Ming Dynasty intellectuals who were loyal to the imperial court. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty occupied Sichuan, and the Sichuan people fought for twenty years. It can be said that after several massacres in Sichuan and several population migrations, the accent of the Sichuan people became closer and closer to the north, and finally made the Sichuan sound a northern language family.

Puji looked at everyone's expressions and said with a smile: "Just kidding you." ”

Liu Xiang said: "The third master is interesting, you are here this time to ......"

"First, I would like to persuade you to accept the reorganization, accept the reunification of the country, and not engage in independence, and second, I will give you gifts and let you get rich." Puji said.

Liu Xiang was interested and said, "Fortune? ”

"Yes, get rich." Puji said confidently.

Puji's fortune trick was also thought up by Dongfang Hong, uniting the Sichuan warlords to engage in the liquor industry, Sichuan people are good at drinking, Sichuan people are also good at making wine, and the two of them drank Sichuan liquor after entering Sichuan, and the Sichuan people's winemaking technology far exceeded that of the north. So Pu Ji sighed with emotion, if this Sichuan wine is bought in the north, it will definitely be profitable. Liquor making in the north is affected by the climate, and the fermentation is not as good as in the south, which leads to the fact that the liquor in the north is mostly spirits, and the northerners are also used to drinking spirits.

This Sichuan liquor has both the strength of northern liquor and the mellow of southern liquor, which can be described as the best among liquors. Dongfang Hong suddenly patted his thigh and said that since we entered Sichuan, we have not been able to think of any way to open up the Youth Promotion Research Association, so it is better to use this Sichuan wine monopoly business to attract the Sichuan warlords, and let the Sichuan warlords support our Youth Promotion Research Association. If they support us, they will return to their turf and the people will vote for us, and the entire Sichuan Senate seat will be ours.

Pu Ji was very surprised that this Dongfang Hong actually wanted to use the army to control the people's vote, this is obvious cheating, how can it be child's play? Dongfang Hong hurriedly said that Sichuan has not yet accepted the reorganization, the Sichuan army is not a national defense force, and we are not against Xiushuai's requirements, just a small adaptation. Then Dongfang Hong said: "Third master, you can rely on your own identity to win over the Sichuan warlord to accept the reorganization, and then report to Xiushuai over there, and the two sides have benefited, isn't it happy?" Why bother to abide by the rules, if everyone follows the rules, it is fine, but how can our Youth Promotion Research Association have time to grow? The Kuomintang, the Progressive Party, and the National Renaissance Party have all been parties for at least seven or eight years, and we have only been established for the second year, so there is no time. ”

After thinking about it, Pu Ji decided to take a risk and become a broker, fooling the Sichuan warlords here and Wang Maoru there, so as to win the support of Wang Maoru and the Sichuan warlords. If Wang Mao hopes for reunification as soon as possible, and the Sichuan warlord hopes to have sufficient interests and power, then he must act as an intermediary and try his best to fight for the interests of both sides and his own interests.

And the Sichuan warlords gave Pu Ji face, mostly because he was Wang Maoru's sworn brother, and for the liquor business, the Sichuan warlords did not feel that there was much benefit, and everyone was more concerned about the sale of big tobacco. If the General Administration of Tobacco Ban gave up suppressing the tobacco business in Sichuan, these overseers would be able to really get money. Pu Ji patted his chest and assured that the conditions would definitely be met, and if the Sichuan army was reorganized, your army could only be more than less.

Pu Ji tried to send a telegram to Wang Maoru, saying that the Sichuan warlord was interested in accepting the reorganization, but he did not dare to call the shots on some conditions. When Wang Maoru and the War Department saw the telegram, they couldn't believe it, why did Pu Ji suddenly run away to Sichuan? Moreover, he also robbed Zhang Kuian's work and won over the Sichuan warlords to talk about the reorganization, how much did he know about the reorganization. However, since the Sichuan warlords were interested in accepting the reorganization, and Zhang Kuian went to Guangxi to lobby Lu Rongting, this Pu Ji did a good thing, and then sent an invitation letter to the Sichuan warlords to send a delegation to Beijing for detailed discussions.

Pu Ji took this telegram and let Dongfang Hong polish it for a while, and it turned into Xiushuai who warmly invited Liu Xiang and others to Beijing to confer honors, and talked about the reorganization of the Sichuan army. This kind of two-sided concealment of profits, Pu Ji is not good at it, but Dongfang Hong does it with ease, and he is clever at both ends. Pu Ji saw that Dongfang Hong was very good at it, so he gave him this task, and he had full authority to handle it, as long as he could curry favor with the Sichuan military, in Sichuan, where the national defense military control was not strict, the Youth Promotion Research Association would definitely get votes.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiang and others decided to accept Wang Maoru's "sincere" invitation, and Liu Xiang said that he was willing to personally lead the delegation to Beijing.

Pu Ji also sent a telegram to Wang Maoru to say that Liu Xiang and others were willing to negotiate, but they had to accept the honorary rank of the Wehrmacht before they could be sure that the Wehrmacht intended peace.

Wang Mao Ruxin said that if the Sichuan warlords accept the reorganization, they will naturally carry out military reform, and their military ranks will also be reformulated, so he sent a telegram saying that it is completely okay, and he can personally issue military ranks and award them at that time.

At this time, Pu Ji ran to Liu Xiang and others and said that Wang Maoru was ready to personally award them medals, as for the military rank, he didn't know, but you must first express your sincerity, the deeper the sincerity, the higher the military rank in the future, the more stubborn and ineffective, and they will definitely be the ones who settle accounts in the future.

After the Sichuan warlords discussed, Liu Xiang, as commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, announced that the Sichuan Army would accept the reorganization of the National Defense Force and go to Beijing to receive the award ceremony. On the same day, Zhang Zuolin's Phoenix Army wiped out 3,000 Guizhou troops in Fenghuang County, on the border of Sichuan, Guizhou and Hunan, shaking the Guizhou army.

The Guizhou army has always occupied the land of Sichuan and Hunan, looting the resources of the two provinces to support the Guizhou army, and then after the national defense army recovered Hunan, Zhang Zuolin ordered the Yan Xishan Division of the 27th Division to immediately go to Fenghuang, Mayang and other eight counties occupied by the Guizhou army to eliminate the Guizhou army. Yan Xishan and Zhang Zuolin have a deep contradiction, and he knows that this is Zhang Zuolin putting on small shoes for himself again. The eight counties in Hunan occupied by the Guizhou army are located in the mountainous areas of the ethnic minorities in western Xiangxi, and the local political power is mostly in the hands of various Tusi, and the terrain is complex and mostly mountainous, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, after sending people to inquire, Yan Xishan learned that because Liu Xianshi, the former boss of the Qianjun, ruled the eight counties of Xiangxi, exercised strict rule over the local ethnic minorities and looted the area, the Miao, Tu, and Dong people were extremely dissatisfied with the Qianjun. Yan Xishan took advantage of this point to issue a call to the tribes to expel the Guizhou army, the various tribes have long been dissatisfied with the Guizhou army, this time it is to cooperate with the national army, lead the way, sentry, inquire about the news, and finally eliminate the three thousand troops of the Guizhou army stationed in Hunan in one fell swoop, Yan Xishan is even more famous by virtue of this battle.
