Chapter 181 180. Tang Jiyao returned to Yunnan

When Tang Jiyao was driven out of Yunnan by Gu Pinzhen, he arrived in Guangzhou, where he received a grand reception from Sun Yat-sen and a grand welcome from the Kuomintang. Sun hoped that Tang Jiyao would give up the concept of territory and turn himself into a revolutionary.At this time, Sun urgently needed a right-hand man with reputation and military knowledge. If Tang Jiyao could really join the revolutionary lineup led by Sun at that time, then he might become the second person.However, Tang Jiyao had his own plans. When Tang arrived in Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming had a secret conversation with Tang, and advised Tang to regain the Yunnan territory and seize the army.On the surface, what Chen said seemed to show concern for Tang. In fact, Chen was very afraid that Tang would stay in Guangzhou, because Tang was a soldier and had made great contributions in defending the country against Yuan.Therefore, Chen expressed to Tang that he would persuade Tang to go back to Yunnan wholeheartedly, and that if there was a need for Chen's support, Chen would do his best to help.Chen's words are in line with Tang's original intention, so although Tang is in Guangzhou, his heart is in Yunnan.

When Tang left Yunnan in a hurry, his strength was not damaged when he left Kunming. It was only because Gu Pinzhen led an army to attack Kunming suddenly. Tang's army was unable to return in time, but his strength was not affected at all. Therefore, after Tang arrived in Guangdong, Then he transferred his reliable troops from Yunnan to Guangxi one after another.Sun Yat-sen used this army to crusade against the Guangxi clique.At this time, the Dian Army under Sun's command consisted of two parts. One was led by Li Liejun. The original Dian Army stationed in Guangdong was stationed in Guilin, and its generals included Zhu Peide, Yang Yiqian, Zhang Huaixin, etc.; Generals in Liuzhou and Qingyuan include Li Youxun, Hu Ruoyu, etc.These two parts are nominally under the direct command of Li Liejun in the name of "Commander-in-Chief of the Yunnan-Guizhou-Jiangxi Allied Forces".Before Sun organized the base camp in Guilin, he had repeatedly called Tang Jiyao to Guangxi to serve as the chief of staff of the base camp.Tang refused, and planned to lead the above-mentioned two Yunnan armies back to Yunnan to expel Gu Pinzhen.Tang said that after his visit, he would contact Sichuan and Guizhou provinces to serve as the left wing of the Northern Expedition.Sun completely disagreed with Tang's plan, thinking that Tang had no revolutionary foresight, and returning to Yunnan was a completely selfish move. Using it, Sun placed his greatest hopes on the Dian army. Now that Tang wants to take the Dian army away, wouldn't it completely affect the plan for the Northern Expedition.

Tang once discussed his plan to return to Yunnan with Li Liejun, but Li Liejun disagreed.Li used to be the governor of Jiangxi. He was forced to leave Jiangxi after the failure of the second revolution in the second year of the Republic of China. Now the first goal of the Northern Expedition is Jiangxi. Why did Li not want the Northern Expedition to fulfill his wish? Tell Jiyan, isn't his hope of returning to Jiangxi also in vain. In late October 2010, when Sun Yat-sen was in Wuzhou, Tang Jiyao suddenly changed his attitude and was willing to go to Guangxi to serve as the chief of staff of the base camp. Sun Da was very happy and welcomed him very much.Unexpectedly, this was Tang's posture. He was building plank roads and crossing Chencang secretly. The secret committee Yang Yiqian, Li Youxun and Hu Ruoyu were the first, second and third commanders of the Yasukuni Allied Forces.Then Li Youxun and others issued a telegram, embracing Tang as the commander-in-chief of the Yasukuni Allied Forces.It turned out that Tang did not come to Wuzhou to be the chief of staff of the base camp, but to seize the command of the two Yunnan armies.Yang Yiqian was also lured, and moved from Guilin to Liuzhou on October 24 to join Li Youxun and Hu Ruoyu.When Li Liejun got the news, he immediately dismissed Yang Yiqian's commander of the 20th Mixed Brigade of the Yunnan Army and the commander-in-chief of the second "Aid to Guangxi" route, and sent Zhu Peide to recall Yang Yiqian's troops.Tang Jiyao was embarrassed to see Sun again because the incident was exposed, and he set off for Wuzhou from Hong Kong after Sun left for Guilin from Wuzhou. On December 5, when Tang Jiyao arrived in Wuzhou, Sun sent Hu Hanmin to invite Tang Xian to go to Guilin for a talk, but Tang ignored him. Tang Jing went to Liuzhou on the 9th.

Tang's plan to return to Yunnan was actively supported by Chen Jiongming, because if Tang did not support Sun Yat-sen, Sun's power would be much weaker. What's more, after the Yunnan army returned to Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi became Chen Jiongming's world. In addition to concentrating the Yunnan army in Guangdong and Guangxi, Tang Jiyao also had plans for Yunnan. Wu Xuexian, a giant bandit in Yunnan, gathered more than 10,000 people in Tonghai, Mawei Village, and Yunlong Mountain. To contain Gu Pinzhen. Gu Pinzhen in Kunming learned that Tang Jiyao was going back to Yunnan, so he held a military meeting on November 2 and decided to send troops to reject Tang.Originally, Gu Pinzhen was against Sun Yat-sen being the very president, but now he changed his attitude. He telegraphed Sun Zhongshan as President Sun, and on November 18 he sent Yang Ximin, Yang Zhen, and Jin Handing as the first, second, and second officers of the Yunnan Northern Expedition Army. The commander of the third route, Fan Shisheng, was the commander of the advance army of the Northern Expedition, and he was willing to lead these troops to participate in the Northern Expedition.In fact, this is also a gesture. Gu didn't really want to participate in the Northern Expedition, but led troops to meet Tang Jiyao.

On December 24, Tang Jiyao arrived in Liuzhou. There were Li Youxun and Hu Ruoyu of the Dian Army stationed in Liuzhou, and Gu Zhenglun and Hu Ying of the Guizhou Army.Qian Jun was unwilling to join forces with Tang and moved to Guilin to avoid merging with Tang Huo. On January 16, 2011, Gu Pinzhen sent Jin Dinghan to act as the commander-in-chief of Yunnan, and handed over the Kunming rear to Jin.When Gu Jin held the handover ceremony, Gu suddenly announced the guilt of Yang Zhen, the commander of the First Route Army of the Yunnan Army, accusing Yang of colluding with the giant bandit Wu Xuexian, which caused the Wu bandit to escape from the siege of the provincial army, and now he is threatening the army with 300,000 yuan in salary , the attitude was very bad, so Yang Zhen was detained on the spot, and Yang Ximin, the commander of the second division of the Yunnan Army, was sent to take over the post of Yang Zhen from the first division.This was Gu Pinzhen's purge before leading the army to reject the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Zhen is Gu Pinzhen's direct descendant, why does Gu Pinzhen want to purge Yang Zhen?It is said that Yang Zhen planned to assassinate Jin Handing while Gu Jin was holding the handover ceremony in order to replace him.The Dian Army has seven mixed brigades, Jin Handing is the commander of the second mixed brigade, and Yang Zhen is the commander of the third mixed brigade.They all came back from Sichuan. When they were in Sichuan, Yang Zhen was the team leader under Gu Pinzhen, and Jin Handing was the team leader under Zhao Youxin.Gu Pinzhen did not send Yang Zhen to act as the commander-in-chief this time, but sent Jin Handing to act as the commander-in-chief. Of course, Yang Zhen was very dissatisfied.

When the news came out from Yunnan that Tang Jiyao was going back to Yunnan, the military officers in Yunnan had a secret alliance, planning to reject Tang’s return on the one hand, and push Gu Pinzhen out on the other hand, so that many new opportunities for promotion would be created. Legend has it that Yang Zhen It is the leader. After Gu Pinzhen and Jin Handing detained Yang Zhen, they originally wanted to put Yang to death, but because Yang's troops occupied Liucheng Tower and Yuantong Mountain, they were going to bombard the headquarters of the Yunnan Army from the mountain. Yang was released, and a representative was sent to Guangxi to contact him, and he was given 20,000 yuan in travel expenses, and he was escorted by the British consul in Kunming to leave the country.

On January 21, 2011, Tang Jiyao was promoted to Li Youxun as the commander of the First Army of the Yasukuni Army, Tian Zhonggu as the commander of the Second Army, Hu Ruoyu as the commander of the Third Army, and Yang Yiqian as the commander of the Fourth Army.Since the Guzhenglun Brigade of the Guizhou Army prevented the Tang Army from going north to Guizhou and entering Yunnan, the Tang Army had to go westward and divided into two routes, one route was routed from Baise to attack Boai, and the other route was routed to Guizhou Xingyi to attack Shizong. When the Tang army was in action, they encountered the remnants of the Gui army all over the mountains and plains in Qingyuan, Huaiyuan, Hechi, Donglan, and Fengshan, and launched a melee to seize guns. Li Youxun, an important cadre of the Tang Dynasty and the commander of the First Army, was killed in the melee. So Tang promoted Long Yun, Li's former enemy commander, as acting commander.Long Yun later became Tang Jiyao's successor and ruled Yunnan for 18 years. This time, his promotion had the greatest relationship, because he thus became one of the most important military generals under Tang.

On February 20, the Tang army arrived in Sicheng. On February 23, Sun Yat-sen issued a telegram denouncing Tang Jiyao for "setting up the general headquarters without authorization, dispatching troops, and returning to Yunnan. He obviously disobeyed orders and ignored the overall situation." Taking the selfishness of one's own rights as a stalk of the overall situation in the Southwest." After Jin Handing took over as the commander-in-chief of Yunnan, there was a secret telegram expressing goodwill to Tang Jiyao. Jin's attitude was to promote cooperation between Tang and Gu, and he supported Tang as the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army of the Northern Expedition Army, and Gu Pinzhen as the deputy commander-in-chief. Come to Yunnan to fight for this territory, making Yunnan a battlefield, ruining the place, and frightening the elders.At the same time, Jin expressed his support to Sun Yat-sen through his friend Ding Shisheng.Ding Shisheng is an old comrade of the Tongmenghui, and together with Lu Zhiyi, Sun's most trusted comrade, he was the president of "Yunnan Daily" in Kunming at that time.

Tang Jiyao led the army to advance rapidly. According to the original plan, he sent Tian Zhonggu to lead a part of the army to attack Qujing from Xingyi to the north, and led a part to Guangnan from Boai to the south. On February 28, the Tang army occupied Guangnan. In Yunnan, Gu Pinzhen personally led the army to reject the Tang Dynasty, set up a base camp in Yiliang, and sent the first commander Yang Ximin to defend Shizong and Luoping against the Tang army attacking from Qujing.Zhang Kairu, deputy commander, led Yang Ruxuan, commander of the fourth mixed brigade, and Zhao Suisheng, commander of the sixth mixed brigade, from Mengzi and far east to resist the Tang army attacking from Guangnan.

Before the two armies came into contact, an accident happened on Gu Pinzhen's side, and it was on Yang Zhen's side.It turned out that although Yang Zhen had solved the problem, his troops did not completely follow Yang Ximin's orders, so after the First Route Army arrived at Shizong, civil strife broke out. Zhou Yongzuo was the commander of the first line, and at the same time announced that this army remained neutral in the Tang-Gu War. Wu Xuexian, a giant bandit in southern Yunnan, responded to the Tang army in the areas of Lin'an, Mengzi, and Kaihua. Zhao Suisheng, the commander of the sixth mixed brigade, led his army to suppress, but was shot and killed in a fierce battle with Wu Xuexian's troops. On March 7, the Tang army occupied Kaihua, and Zhang Kairu on Gu's side retreated to Mengzi.Tang Jun and Wu Xuexian's troops cooperated to press Zhang's troops, and Zhang's troops retreated to Ami. On the 13th, the Tang army entered and occupied Mengzi.Gu Pinzhen led the army to counterattack Mengzi in person, but the soldiers had no fighting spirit and the morale of the army collapsed. As soon as they contacted the Tang army, they were defeated. Gu Pinzhen retreated to defend Tianshengguan. On March 25, Wu Xuexian's troops attacked Gu's army. Before dawn, he surrounded Gu Pinzhen's headquarters. Gu was caught off guard and rushed to the battle, outnumbered. . When Tang left Yunnan, the three regiments of Wang Haoxiu, He Shixiong and Xi Ziqiang stayed in Kunming and did not take them away.Wang Haoxiu is Jin Handing's brother.After Gu entered Kunming, Jin Handing assured Gu Li that no accidents would happen to the three regiments. However, when Tang entered Yunnan and news of Gu Jun's defeat was frequent, the three regiments patrolled to the west and declared independence. Two roads are approaching Kunming. Jin Handing couldn't resist in Kunming, so he left Kunming with Luo Peijin, the tour envoy of Yinan, and fled to Anning and Lufeng. On March 24, Tang Jiyao led Hu Ruoyu's troops to occupy Kunming. On the 25th, Jin Handing and Luo Peijin were scattered in the south of the town by Xiaohong, another bandit leader from the West who had been recruited by Tang. Luo Peijin was arrested before he could escape. Luo handed over his property, so Luo was tortured to death like this.Jin Handing crossed the Jinsha River in embarrassment and fled to Chongqing via Huili.Tang Jiyao was very sorry to hear that Gu Pinzhen and Luo Peijin had died, and ordered a funeral. When the Tang army was already on the way back to Yunnan, Gu saw that the army was shaken and no one could resist the Tang army. At the same time, he heard that Jin Handing, the commander of the second garrison stationed in the south, had secretly communicated with Tang, so he had to stand up and lead the army to fight against Tang.At the same time, in order to restrain Jin Handing, the commander-in-chief and governor of Yunnan was handed over to Jin.But Shun's aunt lost her sister-in-law's favor, and because she was too polite, she forced her old cadre Yang Zhen to turn against her. As a result, Gu Jun fell into a situation of being torn apart. On Gu Pinzhen's side, as mentioned above, the morale of the army was scattered and torn apart, while on Tang Jiyao's side, everyone was determined to return to their hometown and was full of fighting spirit. Therefore, the two armies did not need to fight, and the outcome was determined. Tang Jiyao was regarded as an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs among the soldiers in Yunnan. His calligraphy and poetry are commendable. During his return to Yunnan from Yunnan this time, he wrote many documentary poems, which are copied as follows: (Leading the Yasukuni Army out of Xuanwei Road Middle, Yunnan) Years of hard fighting, wanting to stop the army, unprovoked vampires and critters, everyone helping the building, worrying about tilting, small supplementary medicine, creating a negative order, losing the team is still annoying the post road, and the sound of string singing is happy to listen to the mountain city , After six years of communication, how can I make up for it? I am ashamed that I have to see you off.The Fengchi team went out to the east of the suburbs, and the flags were white and red in the sun. How can a strong man be hard to beat a tiger? It is said that a woman is a bear and a thousand-year-old country cares far away. (Xuanwei, Xuanwei, Occasionally) Fathers and elders are greeted by fragrant flowers, singing in the shadows of gate flags, seven years of rough faith is the military education, brave battles are always victorious, the sun is not far and near, the landscape of rivers and mountains is natural and horizontal, the scenery last year was heavy Looking back, Yangliu Yiyi saw me off. (Zhanyi) The new wind blows across the mountain city, the suburbs of hundreds of miles enter Wangping, and several military books return to the wild goose news. Sometimes the swords make the sound of dragons, and the police fans are naturally aware of the resources. Sentence, busy also re-send leisure. (Heilongtan Yangbing) What is the sound of dragons in autumn? I underestimate the need for China to be flat. The situation in Asia and the continent is an illusion. There is no need to be alarmed by the waves in Europe. The sky whip is powerful, ask the heart and encourage me to live. Young people have not woken up to the floating clouds and dreams, and they have regained their ambitions and endowed with strong winds. Bai Zhimi is firm in the cold season, and the flowers bloom without losing the redness of the old year. Fishing dragons in the smoke and moon. After the meal, calmly manage the fishing boat, live a life of great dreams, and be full of love, year after year of compassion for people and empty old people, the world is sinking and worrying about nothing, the blood can't help being true patriotism, the cold heart laughs and pretends to be a lord, quietly watching and realizing the music of the arms, in the wind of the sky on top. Who is the master in the world, the land is vast, let me do it, the hero of the cause is better than the kind, the king of fame and tyrants is ruthless, the old tree with a thousand chapters spares business, the old alliance is made in the cold pool of hundreds of feet, the world is equal, and I swear to take care of the common people. When Zhang Taiyan was in Kunming, he once wrote to Tang Youlian: "May you regain your dominance, and don't have to keep taboo." Another couplet in Tang's self-writing expresses his ambition: "Thousands of years are only tweets and uncles; three-point peace is the heart of Wuxiang." When Tang Jiyao returned to Yunnan this time, there were two electrifications, the first one was in Guangxi, and the electricity said: "Ji Yao rested on the seashore, long sweet and fat escaped, it is because comrades and princes have repeatedly encouraged each other with great righteousness, and according to the generals of the Guangxi and Yunnan army to control no one, he appealed to come out and presided over it. Thuy Xu Zhiya, the country is in trouble, dare to take time to rest for self-safety, stand together in the same boat, and hope to help each other in difficulties. I have traveled back to Liuzhou, temporarily set up the general headquarters there, and went to various places to condolences to the troops, and made great efforts to rectify them. We look forward to following the whip of the princes, and jointly plan the progress of state affairs." The second electricity was sent when returning to Yunnan, and the electricity said: "My old father in Dian has served in the army for a long time. He has been marching for many years, and the shovel is empty. He has traveled far and wide, showing shock and graying, and talking about suffering. He is hungry and drowning. Chasing the past, heals the heart and feels ashamed. Recalling myself Aiding Guizhou and returning to the city, serving the hometown, being entrusted by the people of Sanyi with a body of virtue and ability, fearing the prosperity and death, trembling day and night. People work hard. Although the survival of the country is at stake, and the situation is unavoidable, but thinking about the haggardness of the people, how unbearable the situation is, the situation is blocked, the internal affairs are disturbed, the common affairs are complicated, the measures are many mistakes, and the incidents are neglected, which is very troublesome. Whether it is right or wrong, they invaded the weeds. Fanzi's various crimes are really Yao, so he felt ashamed and thought of retiring. Last year, the former army commander led his troops back home, and the soldiers forced the provincial capital, and laid out policies to rest with the people. Jiyao is deeply afraid of the corruption of the place, and he is happy to have someone who succeeds him. Although he lives in seclusion, he fulfills his life's long-cherished wish. Therefore, Jinbi let the virtuous, Xuanhuang sold the robbery, and crossed the sea with his clothes. Being alone, always thinking about guilt, deeply ashamed and mourning, Fang hopes that the former army commander will learn from the past and replace the past, and replace the old with the new, so as to be given power, he should be the best. According to the internal and external military generals and people from all walks of life in Yunnan Province, the chaos in Yunnan is becoming more and more urgent. The disaster is imminent, the fire and water are deep, and we are in dire straits, weeping, please find a way to rescue. And encourage each other frequently with righteousness. The wax ball book arrives, the blood and tears of the elders are dried up, and the bad news is repeated. What is the crime of the people of the Six Edicts? Jiyao mourned So far, things in Dian have not been as expected. They are not only cherished by those in power, but especially mourned by Chi Chi. At the beginning of Kui's resignation, his heart hurts with sincerity, and the law is based on the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. Make one mistake and make another mistake. Gou perishes in the group but is alone good, and the guilt is boundless. Use it to split the lotus and burn the scorpion. Use the sword to sleep repeatedly. Weep Chen Shi and save the people. Signs. Thoughts can't eliminate misfortune from the first opportunity, and can't be careful to end with a picture. Yao is really immoral, so what about people? It is to prostrate and save the mourning of ordinary people, that is, to bridge the gaps and make up for the past, and the crown is in crisis. Righteousness is forced to save the country, and it is determined to help the crisis, and I will do my best to be honest and sincere, which is the public mirror." After Tang Jiyao returned to Kunming, he immediately restored power and appointed Hu Ruoyu as the commander of the First Army of the Yunnan Army, Tian Zhonggu as the commander of the Second Army, Long Yun as the commander of the Third Army, Zhang Ruji as the commander of the Fourth Army, and Li Xuanting as the commander of the Fifth Army. Commander.Hu Ruoyu also served as the guardian of Yidong in Zhaotong, Long Yun also served as the guardian of central Yunnan in the provincial capital, Zhang Ruji also served as the guardian of Yixi in Dali, and Li Xuanting also served as the guardian of Yinnan in Mengzi.Zhang Ruji was promoted from Hu Ruoyu's Third Army. After the defeat of Gu's army, Yang Ximin, Jiang Guangliang, Fan Shisheng and other remnants of Gu's remnants publicly elected Zhang Kairu as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Yunnan Army. Tang Jiyao led his army back to Yunnan, and the army marched quickly and smoothly. His success was due to the fact that he had supervised Yunnan for nearly ten years, and his old robes were all over Yunnan. . As for Gu Pinzhen?It is a pity that he failed.When he first returned to Yunnan and took over the military and political power, he once asked a good friend of his, Ding Shisheng, who was the president of "Yunnan Daily" at that time. Gu asked Ding to tell him the key to governing Yunnan, and Ding gave Gu eight Key words: "Open and honest, rest and recuperate."He also added: "Being open and honest is a political principle. Zhuge Wuhou's rule of Shu is to advertise openness and justice. Rest and recuperation is aimed at the current situation in Yunnan. Since Yunnan has used troops every year since protecting the country and seeking Yuan, its vitality has been severely injured. Gengeng (Tang Jiyao ) was forced by the situation and could not shrink the army. The Dian army could not compete in the Central Plains, and there was bound to be a battle against the wall. As a result, the people were destitute and starving. If the Tang family still wants to return to Yunnan, there is no need to fight with them. It is said that fighting for one day's merit is worse than fighting for ten thousand merits, and fighting for one day's fame is not as good as fighting for eternal fame." Gu Pinzhen accepted Ding Shisheng's suggestion at the beginning, announced the separation of military and civilian rule, rectified internal affairs, ignored foreign affairs, and built behind closed doors.However, as time went by, the old ways reverted, and a large number of county magistrates were mobilized, all of whom were appointed soldiers from his old army. The administration of officials was three points worse than in the Tang Dynasty. What led to Gu's failure was the suppression of bandits. Bandits are originally people, some are evil people, and some are forced by officials to take risks. Coupled with the inconvenient transportation in Yunnan, bandits are easy to exist but difficult to suppress.In Tang Jiyao's era, both suppression and suppression were carried out.At that time, the giant bandits from Yunnan, Yang Tianfu and Wu Xuexian, were recruited to Kunming by the Tang Dynasty.After Gu Pinzhen came to power, he rebelled against Tang's deeds and first trapped and killed Yang Tianfu. After Yang Tianfu was killed, Wu Xuexian was naturally saddened by the death of a rabbit and a fox, so he fled to southern Yunnan and gathered nearly ten thousand people. Yang Tianfu's old department also gathered thousands of people, claiming to avenge Yang and causing chaos in western Yunnan.For a while, banditry was rampant, and there were bandits around the suburbs of Kunming, and travel was bound by them. What's worse is that Gu's subordinates are not complete. He led the Yunnan army from Sichuan back to Yunnan. There are cadres like Tang, and there is an army cultivated by himself.In addition, after his subordinates returned to Yunnan, they all thought that the country was in their hands. They had worked hard for many years and were stationed far away. The Dian government was greatly disappointed in the hearts of the Dian people, so the three characters Tang Jiyao were remembered by the Dian people again, and everyone looked forward to Tang's return to Dian as soon as possible. This is the key to Tang Sheng Gu Bai.
