    Chapter 140 Two Heroes Fighting for the Southwest (1)

    In the past, the front door of the bustling Changsha Sipailou Lijin Salt and Tea Bureau was crowded, and some unscrupulous person deliberately posted a notice on the door announcing the cancellation of Lijin by the inspection envoys from the three provinces to mock these evil officials who plundered the people's wealth.  Wang Ermazi had just returned from the dock and walked towards the Yamen carrying a banner. When he saw the notice on the gray door, he tore it down and spat hard.

    The world has changed!  As soon as the tax reform was announced, officials like him suddenly became the object of contempt for everyone. The sheep-like vendors in the market in the past also became unruly and did not regard them at all.  In the eyes.  Moreover, without the Lijin Pumping Water, life for him and his companions, who were usually used to being extravagant, had become troublesome. Many people had already made plans to find other things to do, but they were used to being domineering in the past, and now no one was willing to pay attention to them when they asked for help.

    Seeing that there was really no way to survive, he took two puffs of cigarettes today to strengthen his courage and go to the pier to cause trouble in person. He thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that the soldiers didn't even look at them. Instead, he had no idea and could only come back and have another look.  The sound of wind.  After entering the station, people who had been waiting for him for a long time rushed over immediately. In addition to the same government officials as him, the rest were also squire land security guards near Changsha Prefecture who had also suffered serious losses due to the evacuation. When they saw him, they immediately called  Get up: "Er Mazi is back Tell me, what happened on the dock? Did Yang Qiu arrest anyone?"

    Wang Ermazi told everything about the dock, scratched his head and said, "I thought I would definitely die this time, but I didn't expect that Yang Qiu ran away without even farting. What do you think we should do?"

    Everyone was also stunned. Originally, they planned to make the matter a big deal. It would be best to kill a few people so that they could take the opportunity to incite the gentry in the province, and the New Deal would not be implemented. Unexpectedly, they pretended not to see it, and a Lijin  Ju Daobi thought for a while and said first: "We might as well go back and bring everyone to Changsha to make things worse."

    "A big fuss? Umare there soldiers outside now?"

    "Yes, this Yang Qiu is so evil. He transferred our troops from Hunan to Sichuan and troops from Hubei to suppress us. If the trouble is too fierce, it may not end well?"

    "Yang Qiu doesn't blink when he kills people. He even kills the party members. It's better to take it easy."

    "Afraid of a ball! If he has the ability, he will try to shoot? The protest is not a rebellion. I will go to the door of the Advisory Bureau tomorrow to make a fuss. If you are scared, go back and crawl into the crotch of the old woman and wait for death! Wang Erpazi jumped in front excitedly  , shouted: "If he dares to shoot, I will pull him down even if we make trouble in Nanjing."  "

    Mr. Daobi, who has some political experience, said: "Er Mazi is right. Yang Qiu cannot do without us if he wants to change taxes. Without us people, would he have to let the mud-legged people collect taxes? So as long as we join hands, we can  He is not afraid of thousands of people protesting. If he dares to kill an unarmed person, if he dares to kill someone, we will go to Nanjing to find Mr. Ke and President Sun!"

    "Yes, that's a good idea."

    "Aren't you familiar with foreigners, Sixth? Find a few foreign reporters. With them, those soldiers will not dare to act recklessly."

    When the Lijin Bureau was clamoring to resist the New Deal, Yang Qiu had already returned to the inn where he was staying.  Zhang Taiyan said as soon as he entered the room: "Inspector, the situation is not good." Since Yang Qiu is the patrol envoy of the three provinces and the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, the military system still calls him commander, which seems closer. Only officials can call him inspector.  With a worried look on his face, he continued: "I just asked the people from the Hunan Taxation Department. They have come to a standstill after the power was sent out. There is a mess below and everyone is refusing to work."

    Zhang Taiyan continued: "The tax reform has a huge impact. Hunan alone has affected tens of thousands of people. Now, except for Hubei, which is still normal, the tax departments of Hunan and Sichuan have basically stopped. These people don't come from anywhere.  I heard the news that you are going to fire them all and go home to drink the northwest wind."

    "Why, Mr. Binglin is also anxious?"

    "I think Mr. Binglin is not worried about the New Deal, but is worried about his education funds." Song Ziqing laughed and joked.  Zhang Taiyan's mind is now full of free education, and he is not blushing. He happily says: "I just want money. This time I will take advantage of the envoy's visit to Changsha to first change Yuelu Academy into Changsha University, and then go to Sichuan and Chongqing to build two universities."  , so that we can first build higher education institutions in the three provinces.¡±

    Song Ziqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Binglin, you can't be more favorable to one, right? We don't have a university in Hubei?"

    Zhang Taiyan glanced at Yang Qiu and said with a smile: "It's not that I forgot, it's that the inspector has plans to learn from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States to build Hankou Institute of Technology, and also to build Hubei University of Technology in Wuchang."

    Yang Qiu smiled slightly: "The three towns in Hubei have a good enough industrial foundation, and universities of science and engineering and technology are more suitable."

    Song Ziqing studied in Germany and was well aware of domestic education.There is a lot of one-sidedness, especially the lack of emphasis on the subjects of science, engineering, agriculture, mulberry and business, so he also specifically warned: "The commander has a good idea. We can't just build liberal arts, we must strengthen agriculture, mulberry, science, engineering and chemistry. The reason why Germany is  To be strong, you cannot do without these major subjects. Add in Jiang Baili¡¯s Army University, and you¡¯ll have all the farmers, industry, merchants, and soldiers."

    Seeing that the two of them were actually discussing university construction, Yang Qiu smiled dumbly and said, "Are you really not worried about tax reform at all?"

    Zhang Taiyan and Song Ziqing looked at each other and laughed: "Commander, hasn't he come up with his trump card yet? Brigadier Hang should be here too." After saying that, they deliberately raised their necks and looked around. Unexpectedly, Hang Zhi really  After entering, the three of them burst into laughter.

    Although he didn't catch up with the battle, because of his contribution to the victory of Changsha, Hang Zhi not only became the commander of the Sixth Brigade, but also received a military medal. He looked very energetic. The three of them laughed when he saw that he had just entered the room.  , quickly asked: "Commanderthis is what you are doing?"

    "You came just as Mr. Binglin mentioned you." Yang Qiu waved his hand and asked, "Did you bring the things?"

    Hang Zhi immediately ordered someone to bring in a thick stack of letters and documents, put them on the table and said: "These were collected by us after entering Changsha. Commander, in your message, you said that anyone who reports to the army will receive a reward of one hundred yuan."  , it really inspired everyone, so these days the report letters are like snowflakes, if I hadn¡¯t had someone screen them, they would have been pushed in by car.¡±

    Song Ziqing picked up a copy and read: "Member of the Hunan Consultative Bureau Liao Xinglian had two long guns in his possession. His father seized 60 acres of paddy fields in the first year of Xuantong." Just after reading this, Zhang Taiyan also read out the copy: "Now  Changsha Police Chief Chen Mingqiu, a former Hunan city patrol leader, smashed six stores on the night of the revolution and robbed countless money. He also smuggled 11 guns and sent them back to his hometown in Hengyang. His brother used these guns to form a security team and went rampant in Xuanzhou, setting up a private organization.  The card exploited countless people.¡±

    After the two of them finished reading, Hang Zhi said: "These two are still young. Tang Zhendong, deputy speaker of the Advisory Bureau, just bought 200 long guns from Guangdong and sent them back to Yongzhou last month, where he built a security team privately. The commander issued  After the power was turned on, I was afraid of being investigated, so I united several council members to find Governor Tan, and deceived him by saying that bandits were making trouble there and had taken the name of a security group."

    "Go and tell Governor Tan and everyone that I will attend the meeting of the Advisory Bureau tomorrow morning and tell him everyone here must be present." Yang Qiu patted the thick report letter and evidence and sneered.  : "I remember today is the deadline for voluntarily surrendering guns and disbanding private soldiers, right? Tomorrow I will accompany them to cause trouble!"

    As Yang Qiu arrived in Changsha, when the New Deal storm began to ferment, including the tax reform, Qiu Wenbin also took everyone to the east gate of Guiyang.  Compared with the prosperous three towns of Wuchang, Guiyang looks much run down, and its scale is not as large as Chongqing.

    Since Qiu Wenbin and his party all carried Mauser 98s on their backs and had a Han-type light machine gun on their horses, they immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers standing guard at the city gate. A small group of Guizhou soldiers immediately surrounded them, pointing their guns at each other warily:  "Who is coming?"

    "My Majesty, Qiu Wenbin, has come from Hubei to pay a visit to Governor Yang Wicheng. I would like to inform you."

    "Come from Hubei?" The team leader seemed to have some knowledge. After staring at the black skull badge on Qiu Wenbin's chest for a long time, he suddenly remembered a famous army and suddenly said with wide eyes: "You  Are you from the National Defense Forces?¡±

    When someone called out their personal details, everyone was not nervous but seemed very proud: "Yes, we are from the security company of the National Defense Forces Headquarters, so we haven't reported it yet."

    The captain's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. He never expected that the National Defense Forces, which had defeated Beiyang and governed the three provinces, would actually come to Guizhou. While sending people to report, he secretly warned his friends to be vigilant.  Within a moment, two more groups of Guizhou soldiers arrived and set up a mountain cannon on the tower. This suddenly made the soldiers feel that it was abnormal, and they bumped Qiu Wenbin lightly: "Squad leader, something seems wrong.  .¡±

    Qiu Wenbin also noticed something strange and said calmly: "Tell everyone to be more vigilant and remove the machine guns. Remember! No matter what happens, you can't fire the first shot first, and you must protect the two clerks.  "After the soldiers of the guard company quietly prepared themselves, a burst of loud laughter sounded at the city gate.  I saw an officer in his forties wearing glasses walked over and said with cupped hands: "My Excellency, Liu Xianshi, has been appointed Chief of the Military Section of the Privy Council of the Han Dynasty Military and Government Office in Guizhou, the Fourth Biao Biao Commander and the West Road Patrol Commander.  When my brother arrives, he may not be welcomed at a distance, but he still hopes to atone for his sins.¡±

    Before Qiu Wenbin saluted, Liu Xianshi, who came out, pointed at the soldiers next to him and cursed: "What are you doing? These are revolutionary comrades. How can you behave like this? Why don't you disperse immediately?" The Qian army, which had been on alert just now, heard the order.  Immediately putting away his gun, Qiu Wenbin immediately said: "Wenbin has met Biao Tong, and I have been ordered to come to see Governor Yang to discuss the Han-Chuan Railway's entry into Guizhou."

    ?"Oh? Railway! Good thing, this is a great thing. We have been waiting for this day for a long time." Liu Xianshi immediately showed everyone the way with a friendly look, and asked: "Commander Yang should take care of us in Guizhou. The railway is so detoured.  This can be regarded as connecting our Guizhou with the outside world. Did Brother Qiu come to discuss the start of construction? You can rest assured that when the time comes, I will personally lead the recruitment of 10,000 people."

    Qiu Wenbin didn't notice the unusual situation and said: "The three provinces of Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan have all started construction. We were originally planning to start construction on the Guizhou section this month. However, there are many bandits in the Dalou Mountain area. The commander hopes to send troops to protect the construction, so he specially ordered me to  Protect the two clerks to negotiate.¡±

    "Oh? Commander Yang wants to send troops?" A cold light flashed behind Liu Xianshi's glasses, and he laughed twice: "Okay, very good."

    After walking for more than ten minutes, Liu Xianshi took everyone to the Governor's Mansion, clasped his fists and said, "This is the Governor's Mansion. Brothers, I have some chores to do, so I won't accompany you." After saying that, he turned around with a dozen soldiers and left.  Walk.  After he left, a few guards came out of the Governor's Mansion, looking at his back and secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

    This detail made Qiu Wenbin frown suddenly.

    What happened to Guizhou?
