Chapter 83 Eighty-two, Guizhou follows Yunnan closely

On January 2, 5, Cai E sent Dai Kan to Guiyang via Bijie to instigate Guizhou to respond to independence, and also sent Wang Boqun to contact the local Guizhou army in the Xingyi area of ​​southern Guizhou.Both Dai and Wang are from Guizhou, and they are well-known and popular in Guizhou. They are both important core figures of Cai E.Yunnan and Guizhou have a close relationship in terms of terrain. If Guizhou did not respond to the defense of the country and fell into the hands of the Yuan family, the independence of Yunnan would be seriously threatened.During the Yunnan Uprising, both Cai E and Tang Jiyao telegraphed Liu Xianshi, the guardian of Guizhou, to participate in the action of protecting the country. Liu Xianshi was alienated from Yuan, because in Yuan's new local government system, all provinces had generals, only in Guizhou and The two provinces of Fujian set up military envoys, which means that Yuan did not attach importance to these two provinces.But Liu Xianshi is a prudent and conservative person, so he didn't dare to take part in the action to challenge Yuan immediately.

At this time, the general mood in Guizhou was already turning against Yuan. Wang Boqun's brother Wang Wenhua served as the head of the Guizhou Army. He and his other head Xiong Qixun both urged Liu Xianshi to join the National Defense Army.Because Guizhou usually has very few soldiers, the regiment leader is a powerful figure.When the soldiers and civilians in Guizhou urgently demanded to discuss Yuan, Long Jianzhang, the patrol envoy of Guizhou sent by Yuan, in order to ease the emotions of the soldiers and civilians in Guizhou, sent a telegram on January 7, 5 to ask Yuan to convene another national meeting to vote on the issue of the state system.On the one hand, Yuan Ze instructed the Senate to return a telegram to refute it. On the other hand, he ordered him to resign on January 14 and go north. In order to please Liu Xianshi, he sent his brother Liu Xianqian to act as the Guizhou patrol envoy. Long Jianzhang escaped in disguise on January 16. .

On January 18, Guiyang held the Provincial People's Congress. At the meeting, the representatives urged Liu Xianshi to declare independence and change his name to the Guizhou Governor of the National Defense Army. However, Liu did not dare to make up his mind. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, it was not until January 24 that Dai Kan led the first battalion of the Yunnan Army to Guiyang. Regarding the situation of the righteousness in Guizhou, He Yingqin once wrote the article "Fifty Anniversary of the First Uprising in Yunnan and Guizhou". The special section is copied as follows:

In December of the second year of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai convened a political meeting, and Mr. Wang Boqun went to Beijing as a representative of Guizhou.When the imperial system was proposed, Boqun and Cai E conspired to revolt against Yuan, and E worried about Guizhou and watched from the sidelines.Boqun said: "My younger brother Wang Wenhua can control the intention of Guizhou. And all his troops are strong troops, so they can fight. Brother Yu knew that the Republic of China would be in danger to the Yuan family, and it will take a long time to grind hard." E said: " Today, I know that Jun Kunji is very human. Guizhou is able to share, and Yunnan is not alone, so why hesitate. I will venture into Yunnan."Therefore, the book invites Boqun to go to Yunnan first to plot deployment.In October of the fourth year of the Republic of China, Boqun came to Kunming on his way to Kunming, and the father of the country ordered Lu Zhiyi, Li Liejun, Fang Shengtao, and Xiong Kewu to enter Yunnan one after another.Lu Zhiyi first went to Dianyuan, where he was on patrol. He received a telegram from the Beijing Army Command Office and was arrested at the police station. Lu Han, Deng Taizhong, and Yang Zhen asked for help. Tang ordered Taizhong money to his family.Boqun made close plans with Li, Pin, etc., and sent a letter to Tang with Cai E. Tang said, "As soon as Songpo arrives, this will be done."The next day, Cai E, Wang Boqun, Li Liejun, Ren Kecheng, Luo Peijin, Liu Zuwu, Zhang Zizhen, Fang Shengtao, Xiong Kewu, Huang Yucheng, Gu Pinzhen, Yin Chengxian, Yang Zhen, Gong Zhenpeng, Ji Yiqiao, Dai Kan, Li Yanbin, etc. gathered in Tang Jiyao's apartment. Call Yuan Shi to urge him to abolish the imperial system, and punish thirteen people including Yang Du to thank the people of the country, and reply within 24 hours.Then they took an oath together on the 21st of the month.Ren Kecheng was a native of Guizhou, and he was an official Yunnan patrol envoy.Tang Jiyao and Kecheng signed the power-up, Tang Shang was awarded the title of Kaiwu General Supervisor of Yunnan Military Affairs, and Ren You was given the title of Yunnan Tourist Envoy.

When Fang Wang Boqun arrived in Yunnan, he secretly ordered his younger brother Wang Wenhua to mobilize horses and fight hard, and to raise righteousness at the same time as Yunnan Province.Wenhua asked Liu Xianshi, the governor of Guizhou, to set up a model camp, transfer cadres at all levels, give political training, and tell him the righteousness of protecting the country, so that he can do his best to fight against thieves.Everyone is excited.And received a telegram on the date of the uprising set by Yunnan, Wenhua asked Yu Xianshi to announce his challenge to Yuan on the same day as Yunnan.Xianshi left and right took the protection of the environment as the word, and the matter was shady, and Wenhua Ci wrote it, saying: "I and the Republic of China swear to live and die together, and everything must be done. Today, the head can be broken, and the will cannot be taken away. Please take the first place When a regiment changes, kills the body and exterminates the family, Wenhua will take care of it. If the sky is in the direction of Zhonghua, and things are successful, the credit will be due to the governor." The army is all left-handed, and the world listens to it.The job was to declare independence as late as January 27 of the following year. Xianshi was promoted as the governor, Dai Kan was the commander-in-chief of the right wing of the First Army to aid Sichuan, and Wang Wenhua was the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army, leading troops to Hunan.Yuan Shikai was falsely ordered to remove Liu Xianshi from the post of supervisor.With Tang Erkun in charge of military affairs in Guizhou and Liu Xianqian as the patrol envoy in Guizhou, he hoped that they would fight among themselves and reap the benefits of fishing.

At the beginning, Wenhua received a secret letter from Mr. Boqun, his elder brother, to concentrate his troops in the Zhenyuan and Tongren areas in eastern Guizhou before Yunnan declared its independence, preparing for battle.At that time, Yuan Shikai had ordered Ma Jizhen to lead the Sixth Division of Kinki, and Lu Jinshan's 18th mixed brigade with 30,000 infantry and horsemen, numbering 100,000, marched into Chenzhou and would follow the Yuanjiang River from the west to the east of Guizhou.On the morning of January 25th, Yuan Jun from Huangzhou invaded and defeated them.On February 2, Wenhua repelled a mixed regiment of Yuan Jun who invaded from Huangzhou. After three hours of fierce fighting, Huangzhou was defeated.Someone told Peng Wenzhi, the head of the second regiment, that he would bring him with him. Wen Hua said: "All his troops understand the righteousness of seeking Yuan's righteousness, and they will never move. How can he do it?" .If the righteousness is not upheld, it will cover the effectiveness of the political training carried out by the model camp.Yuan Jun retreated to Wu Gongguan, which was thirty miles away from Huanghuang, and resisted with danger.After a day and night of fierce fighting, he was defeated.And Ligu detachment head Wu Chuansheng also met Yuan Jun at the Huping Mine and other places, and fought desperately. The soldiers all fought against ten, and went forward. , the date will attack Yuanzhou.On the 13th, Wenhua Governor's Army attacked Yuanzhou. Li Gu's detachment attacked from the right. Yuan Jun burned many houses and retreated.On the 16th, Yuan Jun was repelled in Mayang and fled to the Phoenix Hall.It is useless for the Qian army to capture guns and military supplies.The Wenhua Guerrilla led Wang Huayi and the Hunan Infantry led Zhou Zefan to Huikejing County and occupied Wugang.Since the start of the war in Huangzhou, Dioke was in danger, broke Yuan's army and formed a regiment, and wiped out Lu Jinshan's entire brigade. Ma Jizhen was so depressed that he committed suicide in shame.The west of Hunan is settled, and Yuan's power is no longer there.

It is also a battle, and the attack of the Guizhou people on Hunan is no less than that of the Yunnan army on Sichuan.And those who contributed to Yuan Zhi's shame and resentment to death were actually caused by the two battles in Sichuan and Hunan.Yunnan and Guizhou are closely related to each other. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they governed the same governor, had the same language family, and were like brothers. Therefore, they were able to unite and overcome the merits of protecting the country. After examining the whole story and the participation of the people of Guizhou, Mr. Wang Boqun is a real initiative One also.

The uprising in Guizhou stabilized the periphery of Yunnan and made the Beiyang Army feel threatened in Hunan and Sichuan provinces. On February 8, the Yuan government ordered the investigation of Liu Xianshi, and sent Tang Erkun, the head of the Qianjun Army, to succeed the Manchurian Army Guard. This order, just like the situation in Yunnan, did not take effect at all. After Guizhou surrendered to the Yuan camp, Dai Kan set off from Guiyang on February 2, marched towards Sichuan, arrived at Songkan on the 13th, and formally attacked Yuan's army on the 14th.The Guizhou army led by Dai Kan at this time consisted of six regiments, but the actual strength was less than eight battalions.

After Dai Kan led the army into Sichuan, Cai Enai divided the First Army of the National Defense Army into the left wing and the right wing. Cai himself served as the commander-in-chief of the left wing, and Luo Peijin, the chief of staff, was appointed to succeed him soon; The national army was divided into two branches. Dai Kan himself led one to Xiasongkan to force Qijiang to threaten Chongqing;Wang Wenhua's newly formed troops were full of fighting spirit, and the people of Xiangxi warmly supported the discussion of Yuan, so it went smoothly. They occupied Huang County on February 3 and captured Mayang on February 16, which played a great role in containing the Beiyang Army.
