Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 941: Coordination is Difficult (2)

Tang Qiuli traveled south this time, from Guangxi to Guangdong. What he saw along the way made him worried. The situation in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan was worrying. After being depressed for a few days, he finally came up with a new idea. This idea was to establish

In the ** division troops, do not advance

On the premise of entering the above-mentioned areas, we should try our best to integrate local troops to form a unified force to resist the imminent Japanese attack. In a word, both sides will benefit from cooperation, and both will lose if they divide. This is somewhat alarmist. There is no smell of gunpowder in the south yet.

taste.

Although the starting point is good, it is difficult to say whether the local princes will appreciate it. After years of suppression and use of various tactics by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the local princes are more cunning than foxes and can survive the unpredictable storms of the Republic of China.

Among them, those that are still standing today are not fuel-efficient lamps. It is difficult to persuade them to come to this meeting with just a piece of telegram.

However, Tang Qiuli had his own way. At the end of his telegram to everyone, he solemnly stated that if the military and political chief of the province did not come to attend the meeting, he would be regarded as the person listed in the telegram and lose the ability to control the situation in the province.

, he himself will consider letting the ** division troops take over all defense and even all civil affairs in the province.

This move is very powerful, but there is also the possibility of causing public outrage, but Tang Qiuli can't care so much. As Tang Qiuli expected, the first reaction of the local bosses who received the telegram was that this powerful Tang Qiuli

Vice Chairman, do you want to attack yourself? Although it is not stated explicitly, the hundreds of thousands of troops deployed around Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are true.

After reading the last words of the telegram, I felt really sick, but I still had to go. If I didn't go, it would give Tang Qiuli an excuse to help with the defense. If he was trying to trick children, before going to the meeting, the big guys in various places exchanged telegrams.

Frequently, discuss countermeasures, and finally, once

It was decided that this so-called five-province cooperative defense cannot be agreed to under any circumstances. At worst, it will be a fight to the death. It is better to open up the situation and fight with Tang Qiuli than to be slaughtered by others. Chiang Kai-shek did not get any advantage back then. You

Tang Qiuli didn't necessarily take advantage of Hao'er either.

Xu Liejun, Chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Government, was a backbone of the Chiang Kai-shek faction. After Wang Jialie was eliminated by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, he took over the local power and became the new local emperor of Guizhou. Over the years, the mentality of self-contained system has become stronger and stronger.

This meeting also had the greatest resistance. After much deliberation, I sent a telegram to Chairman Chiang, reporting the content of the military meeting that Tang Qiuli was convening. In fact, he wanted to get some ideas.

After receiving the telegram, Chairman Chiang was also confused and could not understand Tang Qiuli's real purpose of convening such a meeting at this time. After discussing with Yang Yongtai, Zhang Qun, Chen Cheng and others, he came up with a

The same conclusion as that of the local princes was that Tang Qiuli had ambitions and wanted to seize the above-mentioned areas.

As soon as the conclusion came out, Chairman Jiang was shocked. To his surprise, Tang Qiuli had a huge appetite. He was not satisfied with being the king and hegemon in the north, so he began to extend his hands to the south. Then, he was overjoyed, and he had a dispute with these local princes.

After many years of dealing with each other, they have tried their best and tried their best, but they still can't win. It would be better to let Tang Qiu leave and get into trouble. The best result is to lose both sides. By then, the Central Army will leave Sichuan and can smoothly take over their territory.

Son.

Chairman Chiang paid close attention to the proceedings of the five-province military conference in the mood of watching a good show. Therefore, Chairman Chiang said to Yang Yongtai, Zhang Qun and Chen Cheng: "Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and Long Yun are not so easy to mess with.

, let Tang Qiu leave and touch

Regardless of this bad guy, I sent a telegram to Xu Liejun to attend this meeting and report the content and results of the meeting in a timely manner. In addition, the Central Army troops should be prepared. Yue Jun, go talk to Liu Xiang and tell him that I am with Liu Xiang.

He stood together."

The king of Sichuan, Liu Xiang, had never been in a comfortable mood. He agreed to move the capital to Sichuan. The benefits were obvious. Sichuan's industry and commerce were extremely prosperous, and with it, a lot of money flowed into his pocket.

Later, as large numbers of Central Army troops continued to enter Sichuan, fighting for territory and occupying towns, the space of the Sichuan Army was gradually compressed.

To support so many troops in a corner of Sichuan, Liu Xiang would have to spit out the money he had originally eaten. This was something Liu Xiang could not bear. The government had a vague tendency to turn against foreigners. Liu Xiang thought hard and had no idea.

Are you in a good mood? Regarding this joint military conference of the five provinces, Liu Xiang has a dispensable attitude and has little interest.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were most afraid of Tang Qiuli's military meeting, and they vaguely smelled the dangerous atmosphere they thought. Among the five provinces, Guangxi was the strongest. If they assisted in defense, the Guangxi clique would have to pay more than the others.

There were many princes. For this, Li and Bai believed that it was Tang Qiuli's conspiracy to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Gui clan.

Regarding Tang Qiuli's assertion that the Japanese would take action in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas, the two of them did not believe it at all. There would always be signs of war. In the current situation, there was no smoke in sight. It was impossible for Tang Qiuli to realize his own plan.

It is just a conspiracy to build momentum. No matter whether it is the Central Army or the First Division troops, whoever wants to enter Guangxi must not agree to it.

Li Bai and Li Bai made up their mind that Bai Chongxi would participate in the so-called five-province joint defense military conference, and Li Zongren would be based in Guangxi, echoing each other from afar. Furthermore, the hunt and elimination of Japanese spies buried in Guangxi were not over yet. As for Yu Hanmou in Guangdong, he was the last

Those who do not have the strength to challenge Tang Qiuli,

The situation in Guangdong Province is as chaotic as a mess. Ever since he squeezed out the old chief Chen Jitang with the help of Chairman Chiang, most of Yu Hanmou's energy has been spent on digesting the forces of Chen Jitang's old department. It can be said that up to now

So far, Yu Hanmou's rule in Guangdong has not yet been firmly established. If he is not careful, he will be knocked to the ground by the opposition forces and his head will be taken away.

Therefore, Yu Hanmou was the most active responder to this meeting. He also wanted to use other local forces to stabilize his rule in Guangdong. He was most afraid that Tang Qiuli would use the excuse that the situation in Guangdong was out of control to send ** troops to Guangdong.

With his current strength, he could not withstand even one round and could only be captured without mercy. After receiving the telegram, Yu Hanmou was the first person to reply to the telegram and clearly expressed his intention to join the five-province joint defense military.

As for what the telegram said was to jointly resist the imminent Japanese attack, he was less convinced than Li Bai and Li Bai. He was already very worried about pacifying the internal opposition forces in Guangdong. Who had the thought and energy to pay attention to the Japanese thousands of miles away?

, Yunnan Wang Longyun’s attitude is rather ambiguous.

, Yunnan's geographical location is destined not to bear the brunt of the Japanese attack. Long Yun is wary of any external forces, whether it is Chairman Chiang or Vice Chairman Tang. Therefore, regarding this five-province joint defense military conference,

The purpose of Long Yun Baoding is to only wear ears but not mouth.

After leaving Yunan, Tang Qiuli ordered all the troops to gather together and march towards Yunfu. More than 2,000 troops, all cavalry, appeared in Yunfu County, which immediately caused panic in the whole city. The residents could not understand what was going on.

It was the military leader who occupied this place. For the people in western Guangdong, it was normal for the king's flag to change at the top of the city.

Every time, the people of Yunfu County will suffer a disaster. The military leaders also know that they will not be able to occupy this place for long before they will be beaten out by another group of armed forces. Therefore, they try their best to steal the people's wealth.

, imposed exorbitant taxes, and wanted to turn Yunfu County upside down, squeeze out every penny of the people's hard-earned money, and put it into their own pockets.

This small town in western Guangdong with beautiful scenery has made it difficult for the people to make a living, all industries are depressed, and the thatched huts are all over the city. All they see are residents with dull expressions and sallow faces. At this time, Tang Qiuli rode on horseback and walked along the only road in the county.

On the street, seeing the evasive and frightened eyes of the residents, he felt very heavy. As a county town, it was so dilapidated that he was surprised.

Guangdong was the first country to open up. It faced the sea and had many ports. It was also one of the few places with the most prosperous commerce in the Republic of China. However, along the way, there was no sign of prosperity. It was incomparable to Guangxi.

This shows that Yu Han's ability to govern the local area and control the situation is much worse than that of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, and he is not good enough to plan for big things.

A few days later, several big bosses who had their own secrets rushed to Yunfu. Perhaps for safety reasons, each of them brought no less than one regiment of guard soldiers, except Bai Chongxi, who was accompanied by the guard troops.

With less than a battalion of troops, it seems that this young Zhuge is very confident. Yunfu County, a small town, has always been overcrowded.

Several bumpy streets were filled with soldiers wearing various military uniforms and speaking various accents, wandering around at will. In order to prevent the soldiers from harassing the people, Tang Qiuli made things worse for the already poor Yunfu people, so he asked Shanhu to organize several detachments.

Pickets patrol the streets day and night.

Because of this errand, Shan Hu often lost his temper. On the day several local bosses arrived, the picket team detained dozens of soldiers who were causing harm to the people. According to the discipline of the military division, they were all crimes worthy of being shot, but Shan Hu

No, I had no choice but to give them a lesson and let them go. I had no choice but to go back. These soldiers who had been detained by the picket complained vigorously to their respective superiors for confusing right and wrong, and the matter was reported to the big bosses attending the military meeting.

These big guys were very dissatisfied. How could a soldier not rob the common people? Tang Qiuli wanted to use this matter to establish his authority, and it also implied the intention of oppressing himself. Unfortunately, they were all old Jianghu, like this

Small tricks have been used decades ago, and Tang is not afraid of making people laugh? If you had a few thousand more soldiers, we would be a little worried.

More than two thousand people can't accomplish anything big. Some of the original worries have disappeared, and the restraint on his subordinates is even more lenient. Tang Qiuli's order to Shan Hu is that as long as the public order is maintained, no one brought by the princes should be shot.

Soldier, Shanhu pinched his nose and agreed. Even though he was blown away many times every day, he could only temporarily play the role of instructor, focusing on persuasion and education.

These people, who were completely wrong, got together, and the conflict between the soldiers and the pickets tomorrow escalated to the level of anger. The outcome of the meeting was obvious, and Tang Qiuli knew in his heart that it was just a matter of personnel.
