Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning of September 4, gunshots rang out in the urban area of ??Chongqing.  Anyway, the Second Regiment of the Second Division deployed a battalion of troops, led by Lin Bin, the deputy commander of the Second Division, to launch an attack on the mayor's residence.  At the same time, the remaining troops of the second regiment launched an attack on the rebels on the outskirts of Chongqing.  Under the coordination of internal and external forces, the three divisions of the Western Sichuan Army outside the city easily invaded the city of Chongqing.

    Under such circumstances, the rebels simply could not compete with the Western Sichuan Army.  In the end, except for a handful of people who were killed, the remaining people surrendered.  Because the Western Sichuan Army did not use heavy weapons during the attack, the damage to ordinary people was minimal.

    ¡° However, the battle at the mayor¡¯s residence was more intense.  The guards at the mayor's residence and the second division guard company guarding the place can be regarded as confidants of Liu Wenlong and Liu Xiang's uncle and nephew.  Relying on the building of the mayor's official residence, they set up heavy machine guns and mortars, and fought stubbornly against a battalion of the second regiment of the second division.

    However, after several hours of fighting, these rebels were wiped out.  Chongqing Mayor Liu Wenlong was also caught.  When the Western Sichuan Army arrested him, he had already learned that Liu Xiang was killed in the bedroom.  He wanted to commit suicide, but was saved by soldiers from the Western Sichuan Army.  Since their uncle and nephew dared to launch a rebellion, they would have to accept punishment from Western Sichuan.  Liu Xiang died at the hands of the special forces in western Sichuan, and Liu Wenlong needs to be brought to Chengdu to face a fair trial.  Of course, treason is also a capital crime in western Sichuan!

    After the rebellion was put down, the people in Chongqing all applauded.  The Western Sichuan Army was able to eliminate the rebels at a very small cost.  According to the final statistics, the number of casualties among soldiers and civilians in Chongqing was not as great as the losses suffered when the rebels attacked Qijiang.  Of course, the losses of the second division were not included.

    Subsequently, the remaining few thousand soldiers of the Second Division were also disarmed.  They participated in the rebellion and caused serious losses to Western Sichuan and Wang Yuze himself.  As for how to deal with it, we need to wait for Wang Yuze's decision.

    On September 7, Liu Wenlong and the family members of his uncle and nephew were escorted to Chengdu.  Although they are not as guilty as the rest of the family, those in the Liu family who participated in the rebellion also need to be tried.  If the circumstances are serious, they will still be dealt with according to the laws of Western Sichuan.  As for those who did not participate in the rebellion, their lives will be unified.  From now on, they will probably have to live under surveillance in western Sichuan.  After all, Wang Yuzehe would not trust them. If these people caused trouble again, or simply came to assassinate him or important officials in western Sichuan, it would not end well.

    On the morning of September 8, a public trial of Liu Wenlong was held in the square outside the inspection mission.  Liu Xiang is dead and is not included in the trial.  Tens of thousands of Chengdu people attended this trial.  When the judge made the final ruling and sentenced Liu Wenlong to death for treason, and he was to be executed immediately, the people watching cheered.  In their eyes, Liu Wenlong was a damn rebel.  The fact that Western Sichuan is what it is today is entirely due to the marshal.  The commander-in-chief had just passed away, and Liu Wenlong's uncle and nephew dared to jump out and start a rebellion. They deserved death!  As a result, when Liu Wenlong was paraded in the street before being shot in the afternoon, the angry people threw rocks and stones. His head was severely bruised and bleeding, and he was dying.  And the guards didn't stop it.  They also hated Liu Wenlong deeply and wished he would be beaten to death.

    Liu Wenlong was shot, which meant that the main culprit of the rebellion had been executed and the rebellion had basically been put to rest.  Next, there is the trial of the accomplices and the treatment of the rebellious second division.  The previous issue is very easy to solve, just leave it to the court.  But there are some differences on how to deal with the second division.

    "Commander! Although the Second Regiment of the Second Division participated in the rebellion, they did not attack our Western Sichuan Army, nor did they harm innocent people. And in the end, it was because of them that the rebellion was quickly put down. Therefore  , I think the second regiment can be retained and the second division should be rebuilt with the second regiment as the main force!" Xiong Wu expressed his opinion.

    "I do think that all the soldiers of the second division, those who rebelled, will be dealt with according to the severity of the circumstances. As for the second regiment, we can arrange for all of them to be demobilized. No one can guarantee that such a thing will happen again.  It won't happen!" Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo expressed his opinion.

    "We can ask the Military Intelligence Bureau to intervene and try to dig out those soldiers and officers who participated in the rebellion and were not bewitched, while retaining the remaining soldiers. We must fully consider it. In the current situation, if the second  If all the officers and soldiers of the division are demobilized, what great turmoil will occur. This will undoubtedly make them lose hope. If trouble occurs again, it will be difficult to deal with it!" Xiong Wu explained.  After propaganda in western Sichuan, all the people knew about it.  Many people who had relatives serving in the Second Division were scolded so hard that they could not hold their heads up.  If in the event of a compulsory 2nd Division taxi??Demobilization is likely to cause social unrest.

    Wang Yuze frowned. If this was the case, it was not what he wanted to see.

    "Let's do this! Let the Military Intelligence Bureau intervene and carefully screen the officers and soldiers of the Second Division. Those with serious crimes will go directly to the military court. Those with relatively minor crimes will be forcibly demobilized. The remaining people will be recruited with enough recruits and dispersed  Make arrangements to rebuild the second division!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Marshal!" Wang Yuze spoke, and others naturally stopped arguing.

    "In addition, regarding this rebellion, I discovered a problem. That is the rigidity of our army's constitution. Why are the soldiers so easily bewitched by Liu Xiang? On the one hand, the general education level of the soldiers is not high.  They understand the truth and justice, but don¡¯t know who they are really loyal to. On the other hand, the cultivation of soldiers¡¯ concepts is not yet complete. Therefore, I propose to add a cultural instructor position in the army to be responsible for the spiritual culture of soldiers.  Education, let them know who they are loyal to, not their division commander or brigade commander, but Western Sichuan. In this case, if something like this happens again next time, will those ordinary soldiers still be deceived?" Wang Yuze  said.

    This system is completely similar to the political commissar system of later generations, which can make it easier for Wang Yuze to control the army.  Even if the generals want to rebel, if the people below don't listen to him, there is nothing he can do.

    "Commander, this method is good. However, if it is to be implemented suddenly, we need to add a large number of cultural teachers! Judging from the current scale of the Western Sichuan Army, the number gap is relatively large!" Xiong Wu said.

    "Commander, at which level are the cultural teachers mainly deployed? How should military ranks be set up?" Jiang Xingguo also asked.  After the establishment of the Ministry of National Defense, the issue of military establishment has been placed under the responsibility of the Ministry of National Defense.

    "Cultural instructors only need to be assigned to the company and battalion levels. Cultural instructors at the company level have the military rank of deputy company level. Cultural instructors at the battalion level have the military rank of deputy battalion level. The main tasks of these cultural instructors are  It is to teach the soldiers to read and understand. At the same time, it is particularly important to let the soldiers know who they are loyal to. There is also the concept of cultivating the soldiers to fight bravely without fear of sacrifice, etc. As for the gaps, they can be found in various compounds in western Sichuan  The school selects the best. I believe there are many ambitious young people who are willing to join the army!" Wang Yuze said.  Of course, he did not say clearly that the most important task of these cultural teachers was to teach the soldiers to be loyal to him.  Every time the cultural teacher mentions this repeatedly during class, it will naturally form a deep-rooted concept in the hearts of the soldiers.  In this case, things like rebellion should never happen again.

    Xiong Wu, Cai Yun, Jiang Xingguo and others all nodded. They all knew the benefits of such execution.  This will increase the soldiers' loyalty to Western Sichuan and Wang Yuze himself.  It will also help control the military and avoid the recurrence of similar rebellions.

    In the days that followed, mainstream newspapers in western Sichuan published endless articles introducing that the rebellion in western Sichuan had been quelled without causing serious casualties. At the same time, they rehabilitated most of the soldiers of the Second Division, showing that they were just killed by those  The careerists are just confused.  At the same time, he called on the people to unite, be loyal to Wang Yuze, loyal to Western Sichuan, and strive for the prosperity of Western Sichuan.

    There are also people who feel very unhappy that Western Sichuan put down the rebellion so quickly.  The Manchus, Britain, France, Russia and Japan all had great expectations for this rebellion.  As a result, the rebellion was put down in just three days, and the damage caused to western Sichuan was minimal, which made them very dissatisfied.  But there was no way. They had done this secretly. If it was revealed openly, they were afraid that Western Sichuan would cause trouble for them.

    The screening work of the soldiers of the Second Division also went very smoothly. With the intervention of the Military Intelligence Bureau, many guilty soldiers and officers received the punishment they deserve.  Subsequently, with the support of the General Staff Headquarters, the 2nd Division was rebuilt.  Lin Bin also served as the commander of the Second Division, and his military rank was promoted to major general.  Lin Bin still has certain abilities.  It's just that Liu Xiang is more powerful, and he didn't have any effect under Liu Xiang's suppression.  All middle and lower-level officers of the Second Division are deployed by instructors and the Army Academy to ensure that similar incidents will not occur in this unit.

    Western Sichuan has implemented a cultural instructor system on a large scale. Cultural instructors are assigned to every company and battalion. This not only improves the culture of the soldiers, but also allows them to establish the concept of loyalty to the commander-in-chief and Western Sichuan, further eliminating  Possibility of rebellion.
