    (Thanks to book friend Yuan Dynasty for his monthly ticket!)

    "Without ammunition, how can we fight against Western Sichuan? It turns out that Western Sichuan has been guarding against us for a long time! They have dug a hole long ago, waiting for us to stupidly jump into it. That old bastard Wang Xiao, and  That little bastard Wang Yuze is so despicable and shameless!" Liu Wenlong sat slumped on the chair behind him and said through gritted teeth.  This approach in Western Sichuan made all their efforts in vain.  And it shows that Western Sichuan has been on guard against them for a long time.  From this we can see why neither of their uncles and nephews were promoted after the defeat of the Manchus and the establishment of the cabinet last year.  This is Western Sichuan deliberately restricting them!

    Liu Xiang glanced at Liu Wenlong with some dissatisfaction, and then asked: "How much ammunition can we still use now?" Although the lack of ammunition was a very big blow to the Second Division, even at this moment, Liu Xiang still didn't want to  give up.

    "If you divide it up, each soldier can get less than twenty rounds of ammunition. Each of the artillery battalion's cannons only has five rounds of shells!" the adjutant replied.  Such a small amount of ammunition cannot even cope with a low-intensity conflict, let alone a battle with more than 80,000 Western Sichuan troops who came to suppress it.

    "Uncle, you hold Chongqing while I go get weapons and ammunition. It's not that easy for that little bastard Wang Yuze to trick us to death. Even if I die, I will bury the entire Chongqing with him!" Liu Xiang's eyes sparkled.  A fierce light.

    "Where are you going to get ammunition?" Liu Wenlong asked in a daze.

    "Qijiang in the south. There is a complete arsenal that can not only produce weapons but also ammunition. There must be a lot of ammunition in stock there. As long as we can get some casually, it will be enough for us!" Liu Xiang said.

    "But where did Qijiang deploy a third brigade? The second division lacks ammunition, can it defeat them?" Liu Wenlong asked.  With the combat power of the second division, if there is sufficient ammunition, there will naturally be no problem in defeating the third brigade.  But now?  It seems a little impossible.

    "There is no other choice but to fight. I will lead the troops to set off immediately, hoping to catch them off guard. Since the establishment of the third brigade, it has been responsible for guarding the Qijiang Industrial Zone. It has never been on the battlefield, so it must be better equipped.  Relaxed. In this case, we may not have a chance. Uncle, you guard Chongqing, and I will return after I get the ammunition. In addition, you should contact Western Sichuan immediately. Put our demands to them. Otherwise, we will open the door.  Stop killing!" Liu Xiang said viciously.

    "Okay! I'll contact Western Sichuan immediately!" Liu Wenlong was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and he immediately put all his hopes on it.  Now that the situation has reached this point, he has no other choice.

    Liu Xiang immediately went to mobilize troops.  The second regiment of the second division is on its way back to Chongqing from Rongchang.  Not used yet.  He could only mobilize the other two main regiments, and then mobilize some troops from the troops directly under the division headquarters to follow him to attack Qi Jiang.  Two main regiments plus a company of the artillery battalion, and other directly affiliated troops.  The total strength reached 10,000.  At the same time, in order to collect enough ammunition.  The remaining soldiers guarding Chongqing were not issued with sons, and were only equipped with bayonets.  If the Western Sichuan Army attacks Chongqing at this time, Chongqing will not be able to defend it at all.  However, dealing with those unarmed people was no problem at all.

    From Chongqing to Qijiang, it is a full seventy kilometers away. Even if the Second Division is marching at full speed, it will take a whole day to get there.  What's more, after arriving at Qijiang, they had to exchange fire with the third brigade guarding Qijiang.  Whether they can defeat the opponent is hard to say.  However, Liu Xiang had no way out, so he had no choice but to give it a go.  If he gave up and was shot for treason by Western Sichuan, even if he was not shot, he would be imprisoned for life, which he would not be able to accept.  He would rather die in battle than die a humble death.

    Liu Xiang has very deep control over the second division.  Except for a very few officers, almost all of them were his.  Although ordinary soldiers may not all belong to him, as soon as the low-level officers give orders, they still obey them.  After all, from the beginning of their recruit training, the first concept they accepted was that obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers!

    Chengdu, Patrolling Envoy¡¯s Mansion. After succeeding as Patrolling Envoy to Western Sichuan, Wang Yuze immediately threw himself into intense work.  In terms of government affairs, they will be handled by the cabinet for the time being and there will be no problems.  His biggest concern now is to put down the rebellion.  The commanders of the 7th, 8th and 11th Division rushed back immediately after receiving Wang Yuze's order.  The remaining military generals and government officials also returned one after another in the afternoon.  Wang Yuze's order to them was to maintain the stability of the troops and the local area.

    In the afternoon, Xiong Wu and Cai Yun arrived??Inspected the envoy's house and asked to see Wang Yuze.  Both of their faces looked a little ugly.

    "What happened?" Wang Yuze asked.  Is there something wrong with counterinsurgency?  Now the four divisions of the Western Sichuan Army are still on their way to Chongqing. Logically speaking, they have not yet encountered the second division.  There couldn't be another rebellion elsewhere, right?

    "Commander! I just received a telegram from Chongqing Mayor Liu Wenlong. He asked to surrender to us. However, he asked our troops to stop attacking Chongqing. In addition, he asked the commander to pardon their uncles and nephews for their sins and allow them to leave.  Western Sichuan!" Xiong Wu said.

    "What's going on? How could it become like this?" Wang Yuze was shocked.  They announced their separation from western Sichuan in the morning, so why did they relent in the afternoon?  Don't you think rebellion is a child's play?

    "Commander, according to the news we have received, the Manchus and foreigners are burning bridges across the river. They have played tricks on Liu Wenlong and Liu Xiang's uncle and nephew. All the promised conditions have been changed. The reason is to make Chongqing fight with us. Okay.  It consumes our strength and makes it impossible to take care of other places. Therefore, Liu Wenlong's uncle and nephew now know that they have been fooled!" Cai Yun explained.  Although Wang Yuze calls him Uncle Cai in private, when discussing official matters, everyone still distinguishes between superior and inferior.

    "Haha! How can such a thing be so cheap? It's too late to surrender now. Besides, those damn foreign devils are really evil! One day, I will settle the accounts with them!" Wang Yuze said bitterly  said.  A rebellion broke out just after he succeeded to the throne, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to Wang Yuze's prestige.  I am afraid that for a long time to come, Wang Yuze will have to focus on the internal rectification of Western Sichuan.  In this case, there will be no time to threaten the interests of various countries in the Far East.

    "That's right, we can't let them go like this. Otherwise, how can we deter other people with evil intentions!" Xiong Wu also agreed.  He has always supported the direct shooting of these ungrateful people.

    "Father-in-law, are there any other reasons? I know the character of Liu Wenlong and his uncle and nephew. Even without the support of the Manchus and foreigners, they will definitely not give in so easily, right?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Haha! The General Staff Headquarters had already made some preparations. The Ministry of Interior and the Military Intelligence Bureau also cooperated. So they had to give in!" Xiong Wu said with a smile.

    "Oh? What preparations?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "We have replenished the ammunition of the Second Division in the past few months, all of which are blank ammunition for exercises. In this case, there will be very little ammunition left for the Second Division. If a fight really breaks out, they can only  Fight with us on the bayonet!" Xiong Wu replied.

    "Ah! So that's it! Great, father-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier and let me worry for so long in vain!" Wang Yuze said with great joy.  In this case, it would be extremely easy to put down this rebellion.

    "But, Yuze, that was originally our plan. But now, the situation has changed a little!" Xiong Wu said seriously.

    "What's wrong?" Wang Yuze asked.  His heart couldn't help but lift.

    "It's like this. In the telegram just received from Liu Wenlong, in addition to wanting to surrender, there is also his threat. If we don't agree to their surrender and don't forgive their sins, then they will have millions of people in Chongqing.  People will be buried with them. When the time comes, the Second Division will go on a killing spree in Chongqing!" Cai Yun said with a serious face.

    "What? Those two beasts! How dare they do this?" Wang Yuze was furious.  Although millions are an exaggeration, there are still 200,000 to 300,000 people in the urban area of ??Chongqing.  If Liu Wenlong's uncle and nephew really went crazy and massacred, although they would not kill all the innocent people, it would still cause a large number of innocent people to be killed and injured, which is still very possible.  If such consequences really occur, then the western Sichuan government and military, as well as Wang Yuze, will have to bear a heavy responsibility.

    "Commander! Now those two uncles and nephews are at the end of their rope and may do anything. Should we agree to their request and pardon them and their families in exchange for the lives of innocent people?" Xiong  Wu suggested.

    "No! If we pardon them today, maybe other people will launch a rebellion tomorrow. As long as we are desperate and ordinary people threaten us, what will happen to us then? Therefore, we cannot agree to it no matter what.  Their request. Since their uncle and nephew have launched a rebellion, there is only one way to die and there is no other way out!" Wang Yuze refused.  He needed to use the heads of Liu Wenlong and Liu Xiang's uncle and nephew to scare other people.  Therefore, he will never forgive them.  Of course, the lives of innocent people are also important and must be preserved.
