Chapter 95 Chapter 10 Dispel the idea of ​​injustice from now on

Cai E arrived in Yunnan on the 19th. After several discussions with Tang Jiyao, the two reached a basic consensus.The consensus is: they can't afford a third party. Or, their final thought is that they can join forces with a third party and divide their troops into three groups to gain their own territories.We must know that Cai E's principle of governing Yunnan is always to prevent internal strife and seek outward development.The joining of third-party forces will be beneficial to the promotion of Cai E's military thinking, and he has no reason not to do so. But if you want to join forces with others, they may not have that intention.You know, the third party is notoriously used to eating alone, and doesn't even leave soup to others.

Therefore, in order to promote cooperation, it is necessary to clean up the third-party killer first, let the third party know that they are not easy to mess with, and dispel the idea of ​​indiscriminate relations from then on. So Cai E participated in the military high-level meeting.At the meeting, Tang Jiyao declared that Cai E was sent back by his younger brother Tang Jiyu, two guard companies and a gendarmerie.The savvy third-party people knew that they were tricked, and complained endlessly, but the stupid people believed what they said, and quickly wrote it down in words, which led to more than two different versions of the specific date of Cai E's arrival in Kunming. .

At the meeting, the three forces embraced warmly, closer than brothers. At this time, the two guard companies and one gendarmerie that Tang Jiyao mentioned had already entered Mengzi and Ah Mi, and arrested Zhou Hang and Zhang Yikun.But these two people even had the guts to kill Cai E, because they had already packed the package and fled on the road in the starry night. How can I escape?If the assassin escapes, there is no way to deter a third party.After all, Cai and Tang have governed Yunnan for many years, and they know the local social relations well. Zhang Yikun's concubine, Zhang Su'e, was immediately controlled and became a lure, and successfully lured Zhang Yikun back who fled to Vietnam.

Zhang Yikun must be escorted back to Kunming to be shot. The idiom of killing chickens to warn monkeys is most appropriate here. In short, the assassination of Cai E by Zhou Hang and Zhang Yikun was definitely not Yuan Shikai's order.Having said that, it is impossible for Yuan Shikai to issue secret killing orders to two county-level clerks. Even if Yuan Shikai's brain is really flooded and he does this, it is impossible for Zhou Hang and Zhang Yikun to flee overseas. You should have fled back to Beijing. In short, this is a secret power struggle, Cai E and Tang Jiyao will not say it, what they want is the tacit effect of the other party.And it is even more impossible for a third party to say it. If everyone doesn't say it, historians can't be fooled when they do research. No wonder the historical materials will be messed up.

In short, various forces in Yunnan have resolved minor frictions and reached a basic consensus.The thing to do in the future is to divide the troops into three groups and go to grab the territory quickly.
