Chapter 81 80. Discuss Yuan's Military Deployment

Yunnan used a remote corner to fight against Yuan Shikai. In terms of the situation, everyone knows that there is a great disparity between strength and weakness. In the second revolution of Gui Chou (2nd year of the Republic of China), the KMT almost had half of the country, and Yuan Yi opened fire. , it quickly failed, so Yuan did not take Yunnan seriously before and after he proclaimed himself emperor. However, Yunnan has its favorable conditions. In terms of geographical factors, Yunnan occupies a high position, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Yunnan's army is brave and good at fighting, and can endure hardships and stand hard work.

When Tang Jiyao convened a military meeting after Cai E arrived in Yunnan, he analyzed the entire strategic situation. He said: "Northeast of Yunnan is adjacent to Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and the situation of sending troops is very important. In terms of the terrain of the three provinces, Guiyang is the gateway to southern Yunnan, and Chenyuan is the west gate of Hunan. Taking Yunnan as the base, the division will march eastward and use a branch of Chenyuan Take Changsha via Xinhua; take Changde with one branch from Chenyuan to Yuanshui, take Changsha, and take it from Changsha to Yuezhou in the north, beyond the danger of Dongting to have Wuchang; take Changde, take Hudu to the north and pass Jingzhou to point to Xiangyang. If there is Wuchang, then the Yangtze River If there is Xiangyang, the news of the Central Plains will be communicated. Within ten months, the southeast will all belong to Yunnan. This is the best strategy! The most important danger in Yunnan is not in Yunnan but in Western Shu. One goes to Syria, Shanghai enters Chongqing, Kui goes to Yichang, Wuhan, and one goes to Ningyuan to pass through Chengdu, Shangmintao to catch up with Qin and Long. This is also the best strategy! Ruofu Nanning, Guangxi Xinlin, Wuzhou, the upper reaches of the West River, from Yunnan Zhanlin to the east, stationed in Wuzhou, with a branch eastward to Guangzhou, closed the city far away, and the fields are fertile , the southern ring of the sea, the Wuling north block, the north can shake the left side of the river, and the east can enter Fujian and Zhejiang. With a branch from Wuzhou to Guixiu, Yong, and Fuxiang, Changyue is acquired, and Wuhan is shocked. The middle strategy is also, so according to the above discussion, the opportunities for my development can be divided into three types:

(1) Our military forces have fully reached the three provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi and Shu. (2) Our army will reach Wuhan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Qin and Long from Guizhou, Guangxi and Shu. (3) The soldiers of Fujian and Zhejiang took a defensive position, and the soldiers of Qin and Long were intimidating Yuan Jun's right side, and then moved northward with the main force of Wuhan. Now we plan to use two strategies together, and start from three directions. " In the military meeting, there were three important topics that caused controversy. First: What type of organization should be established after the uprising?At that time, some advocated the establishment of the Marshal's Mansion, and some advocated the establishment of a military government, but whether it was Cai E or Tang Jiyao, they all advocated that Yuan Shikai's local officials should not be monopolized, but should be shown to the world. Merged with the "Patrolling Envoy", restored the Governor's Mansion, and convened the Provincial Assembly.Second: After the uprising against Yuan, what should the rebel army be called?At that time, some advocated to call it the army of rebels, and some advocated to call it the army of chaos, and finally decided to use the army of protecting the country suggested by Li Zichang.The meaning of protecting the country is to protect the state system of the Republic of China.Third: Who should serve as the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Military Government?Tang Jiyao pushed Cai E, and Cai E pushed Tang Jiyao.For Tang, Cai was his senior (Cai was the third term of Japanese non-commissioned officers, Tang was the sixth term of Japanese non-commissioned officers), and he was one year older than him. Cai is well-known at home and abroad, so he sincerely recommends Cai as the governor; but Cai also has reasons for pushing Tang. The protection of the country and the revival of teachers all depend on Yunnan. Tang is from Yunnan, and Cai himself is from Hunan. The power of host and guest has already been established, and I can't pretend to be the host, not to mention that Tang has been the governor of Yunnan for three years and has established a foundation in Yunnan, so I sincerely recommend Tang to be the governor.The humility of the two sages became a good story in the political history of the early Republic of China.Finally, Cai said in a serious tone: "The most important thing for us to do justice this time is to win the sympathy of all parties in the country in order to ask for more help. As a local official, if Li Geng (Tang Jiyao) leads an army , it is easy to cause suspicion in neighboring provinces that it is a pseudonymous invasion. In the past, the Dian army had been suspected of disturbing Sichuan. .As for sitting in the rear, leading the military government must not give in to the heavy responsibilities.” Cai E’s words were very touching, and he himself burst into tears.The audience applauded unanimously.

In this meeting, Tang and Cai sat side by side in the chairman's seat in front of a long table. In order to respect Cai, Tang kept his seat half sideways to show that he would not sit side by side with Cai.At the meeting, it was decided that Tang Jiyao would be the governor of the Yunnan National Defense Army Government, and that the National Defense Army would form three armies. Cai E would leave Sichuan as the commander-in-chief of the First Army; Li Liejun would leave Guangxi as the commander-in-chief of the Second Army; Tang Jiyao and the commander-in-chief of the Third Army left Wuhan.

Tang Jiyao solemnly expressed three points of opinion to the participants: (1) With regard to the military system and military orders, all matters involving general control should only be done in the name of the Yunnan Military Governor's Mansion. (2) Both generals Cai and Li were appointed, and letters of inquiry were used for correspondence. (3) The external announcement, signed jointly by Tang, Cai, and Li.Therefore, Tang Jiyao, Cai E, Li Liejun and others were all listed in the telegrams issued by the National Defense Army.The letters and telegrams between the three Yuan Rong are all in an equal tone. Although the commander-in-chief of the army belongs to the military government, there is no regulation on the organizational outline.

Before the Hongxian monarchy, the Yunnan army tried its best to reduce Yunnan's military expenditure because of Yuan Shikai's plan to weaken the southern army.As early as the third year of the Republic of China, Yunnan’s military expenditure was more than 320,000 yuan. In the fourth year of the Republic of China, it was reduced to more than 240,000 yuan, a quarter reduction. Due to the reduction in military expenditure, it was natural that more troops could not be formed. Therefore, there were only two army divisions in active service at that time. And a mixed brigade, a team of military police, more than a dozen independent infantry companies, an independent infantry battalion, and 93 guards.Yunnan raised righteousness to challenge Yuan, and in the plan to dispatch troops, the First Army would form three echelon regiments to leave Sichuan.The Second Army formed two echelon regiments out of Guangxi and into Guangdong.The third army formed an echelon regiment and advanced a column to go out of Guizhou to join forces in Hunan, another detachment to enter Wuding, as far as Chengdu, and another army to advance from Guizhou to Chen, Yuan, and Changde, and to haunt Wuhan, Jing, and Xiang.As a result, most of Yunnan's elite active-duty troops have been transferred.Both the front and the rear needed a lot of supplements. Tang Jiyao, Wei Mengzi Daoyin and Chief of Staff of the Second Army of the National Defense Army He Guojun were the commanders of the Volunteer Army. They recruited more than 4,000 volunteers and sent Ma Wencuo as the guerrilla commander. Huang Wenzhong was the guerrilla commander. A conscription office was set up in Kunming, and 20 regiments of the new army (the original eight regiments), four guard regiments (the original two regiments), one regiment of cavalry and one regiment of artillery were added. The new regiment leaders are: Lu Guofan is the ninth regiment leader, Zhu De is the tenth regiment leader, Sheng Rongchao is the eleventh regiment leader, Yang Tizhen is the twelfth regiment leader, Li Xiujia is also the thirteenth regiment leader, Huang Yongshe is the fourteenth regiment leader, Li Zhisheng is the fifteenth regiment leader , Liu Fakun and head of the 16th regiment, Ma Weilin as head of the 17th regiment, Ma Cong as head of the 18th regiment, Miao Jiashou as head of the 19th regiment, Ma Zhen as head of the 20th regiment, Ma Liang as head of the 21st regiment, Deng Xun He is the head of the 22nd Regiment, Lin Guiqing is the head of the 23rd Regiment, Xu Zhenhai is the head of the 24th Regiment, Fang Shengtao is also the head of the 25th Regiment, Qian Kaijia is the head of the 26th Regiment, Duan Tingzuo is the head of the 27th Regiment, Zhou Zonglian He is the head of the twenty-eighth regiment, Chen Weigeng is the head of the second regiment of the guards, Ye Quan is also the head of the fourth regiment of the guards, Liao Dinggao is the head of the cavalry regiment, and Li Chaoyang is the head of the artillery regiment.The regiments were established one after another, trained day and night, prepared to go out, and doubled their strength compared to before the uprising. The army has expanded, and there is still the problem of payment and equipment. Yunnan is a province that relies on cooperative payment. Now the military expenses must be borne by itself, and the army must also be expanded. Therefore, financing and purchasing equipment is an important task. The payment method is as follows: (1) Loan deposits from various agencies, including 150,000 yuan for the Railway Bureau, 140,000 yuan for the Water Conservancy Bureau, 20,000 yuan for the Reclamation Bureau, 10,000 yuan for the Telegraph Bureau, 50,000 yuan for the Mint, and 30,000 yuan for the Tannery RMB 150,000 for the velvet factory, more than 50,000 yuan for the business, more than 5,000 yuan for saving the country, and more than 120,000 yuan for the Hekou business loan.A total of more than 720,000 yuan. (2) Cutting down and merging redundant institutions, closing schools above middle school, and transferring all funds to military expenses, totaling more than 30,000 yuan per month. (3) Before the uprising, the central government allocated 125,000 yuan a month from the salt money. After the uprising, it was agreed that the auditing branch would keep all of it. From March to the end of November, a total of 160 yuan was collected. More than seventy thousand yuan.Months vary in length, and in terms of nine months, it amounts to more than 180,000 yuan per month. (4) Set up a rate-raising bureau to persuade rich gentry and people in all counties to donate money to help pay. The amount is specified, more than 15,000 yuan in large counties, more than 10,000 yuan in middle counties, and more than 5,000 yuan in small counties, totaling 13 major counties in the province. County, totaling 195,000 yuan.Twenty-four counties in Zhongxian County, totaling 240,000 yuan.Fifty-nine counties in small counties, totaling 295,000 yuan.A total of 730,000 is rated in the province.A total of more than 296,000 yuan has been harvested.The provincial capital also persuaded them to donate, and a total of more than 40,200 yuan in silver was harvested.More than 31,000 yuan has not been collected.In addition, the administrative committee members of the bureaus also urged the donations to be paid, and a total of more than 15,000 yuan in silver was harvested.A total of more than 351,000 yuan was harvested from the above. (5) Send Gu Dao, Zhao Shen, Lu Zhiyi, Gong Zhenpeng, Cun Rudong, Mei Yuhuang, Zhang Nansheng, etc. to the Nanyang area and Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Myanmar to recruit overseas Chinese to donate to the army. The silver was more than 106,000 yuan, and Shanghai received a total of 10,000 yuan in silver, and the Military Supplies Bureau harvested a total of more than 12,000 yuan in silver.A total of more than 128,000 yuan was harvested in the three places. (6) Distribute two million yuan of silver coins from the Bank of China in Yunnan, one million yuan into Sichuan for the first army, 80,000 yuan for the second army, 20,000 yuan for the first echelon of the third army, and 100,000 yuan for the marching army.The commander-in-chiefs are in charge, all of which will be used as military banknotes; the remaining 800,000 yuan will be used as the military pay of the province, and will be paid out one after another. (7) Promulgate the Regulations on National Protection Bonds and issue 10 million yuan of national protection bonds.It was later discontinued for some reason. In terms of ordnance, in addition to urging the arsenal to process and manufacture bullets day and night, they also bought 14,000 rifles from France. The three uprising leaders Tang, Cai, and Li sent two telegrams to the overseas Chinese, requesting donations to help charity. The two telegrams are as follows: The first electricity: Overseas Chinese Gongjian: Over the past few years, the country has been full of thieves and talismans, and floods and droughts have occurred one after another. For the head of state, how should he fear the province and establish the people's livelihood, but he is obsessed with the throne, squandering money , indiscriminate use of famous utensils, the cage will be closed, and they will do everything, but they have never drawn a long-term strategy and displayed a good picture for the national economy and the people's livelihood.Jiyao and others, because of righteous indignation, wanted to get rid of the country's thieves, but they entered and died, let alone retired.It is now briefly known that there are various brigades and regiments standing in Yunnan, combined with regiments and battalions in Guizhou Province, organized into the first and second armies of the national defense, starting in sequence, divided by E and Liejun.It is planned to drive to the northwest for a long time, join forces in Wuhan, and go straight to Youyan.Jiyao sits in the south of Yunnan, and he can sponsor everything from Cheng and Kan to raise money and pay as a backing.However, since volunteer teachers start, they need a lot of money.In the barren areas of Yunnan and Guizhou, there are few reserves.In the autumn when the people's livelihood is poor, I can't bear to add more burdens and burden our people.Su Yang, my overseas elders, elders and brothers, who cherish the motherland and have high righteousness, led the people of Yunnan and Guizhou to pay homage to the south and call for help.Ziwen's destruction of the family relieved the difficulties, leaving behind the past.The divination method of losing money and helping the side will determine who will come more.If you donate money to help, you may send it to Dianyuan Economic Development Zone at any time, or collect it in Shanghai or Hong Kong, and wait for dispatched personnel to collect it.If there is no lack of resources, the soldiers are full of horses, the compatriots are saved from drowning, and the republic is restored when the republic is in danger, then the righteous voice of Guibu will shine through the past and present.I would like to express my sincerity, please learn from me!Tang Jiyao, Cai E, Li Liejun and others led the officials and citizens of Yunnan province to knock.print. Second electricity: Overseas Chinese Compatriots: The former electrical plan has been inspected.Jiyao and others have declared their resistance to the imperial system and their support for the republic, but the Yuan family is stubborn and empty words are useless, so they have to solve it with strength.Now the first and second armies of protecting the country have been established, and they set off in sequence, dividing their routes into Hunan and Shu, directly attacking Youyan, breaking all the boats and vowing to achieve their goals.However, there are so many salaries and demands that there is no way to dig.I look up to my fathers, elders, brothers and sisters overseas, cherish the motherland, and have high righteousness. I would like to lead all the people in Yunnan and Guizhou to pay homage to the south and offer assistance.Or give money to enrich the army, or choose weapons to meet urgent needs.If you are favored, you will beg to go to the Yunnan government to accept it at any time.Or gather Hong Kong and Shanghai notices and send staff to collect them.In the future, the republic will be rebuilt and the Republic of China will be reformed, and the righteous voice of Guibu will shine through the past and present, both at home and abroad.Tang Jiyao, Cai E, and Li Liejun kowtow together.print.
