Chapter 77: The Yunnan Army Arrives

When Wang Chengji heard Qiao Yu promised to help him solve the crisis of the money house and ticket number, he was naturally very happy. After the news spread, the people of the Xu Mansion immediately became very fond of the governor. The reason for the change in the Xu Mansion was that the Democratic Party caused the hard-earned money of these ordinary people, and now they can be saved again, so he was naturally very happy.

Immediately, Qiao Yu followed Wang Chengji into the Xuzhou Mansion, pursuing the civilian army while also trying to restore the security of the Xuzhou Mansion. Wang Chengji and others started to count the losses of the money house. After working for most of the day, the statistics also came out. This time, all the money houses lost nearly 3 million taels of cash in total, but the military and civilians of the Xuzhou Mansion recovered about 2.3 million taels from the civilian army, and the actual loss was about 700,000 taels, and the loss was still within the scope of bear.

However, what is more troublesome is the significant losses of the money bank's personnel. Six shopkeepers died directly in the conflict. Many accountants and young men have fled. It takes some effort to restore the functions of the money bank. The most important thing in the financial industry is confidence. If such chaos occurs, the people's lack of confidence will immediately face a run.

Therefore, Wang Chengji was extremely anxious when he saw the statistics. He didn't know if the governor could fill such a big gap. If he couldn't, most of the money houses in the Xu Mansion would be closed.

"Mr. Wang, this loss is indeed very large, especially the loss of personnel causes the exchange to be unable to be resumed immediately, and the people will lose confidence because of this. The loss of confidence will cause the bank of the Piaohao Bank to go bankrupt on a large scale. The situation is very urgent!"

"Yes, Governor General is very considerate. These detrimental party members are really hateful. They were shouting slogans for the country and the people, but now they all seem to be lying. They are all bullies who eat people and don't spit bones!" Wang Chengji was extremely angry, but Qiao Yu smiled.

"Mr. Wang, I think that the civilian army is not all bad people. Maybe there is any misunderstanding this time, and it is better to solve the current problem first. I decided to first place the military pay of 500,000 taels in the money house in the Xu Mansion, and at the same time, the money house will help purchase 200,000 taels of silver military supplies on behalf of others!"

Wang Chengji was ecstatic when he heard this. What the money house lacks now is confidence. The existence of Governor Qiao's salary in Xufu Money House is undoubtedly a recognition of the credit of the money house. This is useful compared to anything. It is conceivable that the people will not only not come to run again, but may even deposit money into the money house. But when they saw Governor Qiao depositing money in, would he allow his money to be wasted? With this idea, the money house in Xufu could most of the crisis be able to survive.

"Thank you, Governor Gao Yi. I am so grateful to you. You are really the rebirth of Xufu Money House! I'll bow to you." Wang Chengji was about to kowtow while speaking, and Qiao Yu hurriedly supported him.

"Mr. Wang, I am the governor of Sichuan, so I have to think about the people of Sichuan. This is what I should do. However, this time, I also exposed the serious shortcomings in the operation of banknotes. The cost is small and the ability to resist risks is too weak. I have sent a telegram to Deputy Speaker Wang Dongcheng. He will soon come to the Syrian Mansion to discuss how to solve the problem of banknotes. My opinion is to form a large bank, follow the operation methods of foreign banks such as HSBC, expand their strength and enrich capital, which can not only resist risks, but also promote the industrial development of Sichuan. This is a good thing that can kill multiple goals!"

When Wang Chengji heard this, he immediately understood that the lovers did not help him in vain, but wanted to get benefits. However, at this point, he had to compromise. Wang Chengji was not opposed to establishing a bank. However, China's bill bank is too scattered, and there are deep grudges between them. Therefore, he failed several attempts. It might be a good thing to build a bank with the help of Qiao Yu's power...

Luzhou and the Xu Prefecture fell into Qiao Yu's hands. Those who know the situation in Sichuan know that southern Sichuan is probably going to fall into the hands of the new governor. Southern Sichuan and Chongqing are both prosperous places. With these two places as capital, no one can shake Qiao Yu's position as the governor of Sichuan. The situation in Sichuan becomes clearer, but it is one person who is anxious. It is Cai E, the governor of Yunnan who has just formed the military government.

At this time, Cai E had just ascended to the throne of the governor of Yunnan and was full of confidence. However, he immediately encountered the biggest problem, which was the problem of money. Yunnan is located in the southwest border, with a strong military strength, with more than 30,000 people, but it is relatively barren. The province alone cannot supply the needs of the army. Therefore, the first priority before Cai E was to feed the army, and taking Sichuan into his pocket was undoubtedly the best choice.

However, the problem is that Sichuan establishes a military government much faster than the Yunnan Army, and she is still quite afraid of Qiao Yu and Cai E. Before the Wuchang End of the First Rebellion, Qiao Yu was still unknown, but after the Wuchang End of the First Rebellion, the Sichuan Military Government was established. The most important thing is that there is no obstruction in establishing this military government, which is completely natural. As an extremely smart person, Cai E naturally knows the meaning of this. It can only be said that Qiao Yu has an unparalleled influence on the local area. Rampant sending troops in Sichuan will definitely annoy this person!

"Everyone discusses it, see if we should send troops to Sichuan?"

"Governor, sending troops to Sichuan is an inevitable choice. Otherwise, what brothers eat and drink, I think we should send troops as soon as possible. Qiao Yu's actions are not fast now. He only occupied eastern and southern Sichuan and had not yet established a stable foothold. It is a good opportunity to start. Once he was allowed to unify Sichuan, there would be no chance!" The person speaking was Li Genyuan, who was the chief military and political chief of the Yunnan Military Government and the leader of the Yunnan Tongmenghui. He has a lot of power. Even Cai E respected him very much. Li Genyuan had long had resentment towards Qiao Yu. He knew that it was Qiao Yu's suppression that the revolutionary party in Sichuan could not develop at all, so he was strongly advocating the war.

"I also agree with sending troops, but Qiao Yu has made many speeches, talking about local autonomy. When we enter Sichuan, we will definitely be strongly opposed by the other party. His power is not weak, and I am a little worried!" Cai E said.

"Governor, Huang Xing and Li Yuanhong both sent a telegram for help. The three towns in Wuhan are fighting hard now. I think we can enter Sichuan in the name of aiding Hubei and ask Qiao Yu to give way to us. Moreover, the middle side of Sichuan is still there, and Zhao Erfeng is still there. Once we enter Sichuan, we will stay in southern Sichuan in the name of dealing with these remnants of the Qing Dynasty, especially the salt wells in the Fushun area must be held in our hands, otherwise the Yunnan army will not be able to maintain it!" This time, Xie Ruyi, who spoke, was also an important figure in Yunnan's independence. The excuse he put forward was very much for Cai E's appetite.

"Okay, just do what Youchen said. I'll send a telephone now. Youchen, you will quickly form the first echelon and quickly enter southern Sichuan!"

The Yunnan Army discussed the matter well, Xie Ruyi, Li Hongxiang and others were busy, and Cai E issued a telegram to announce the Yunnan military's plan to aid Hubei, and at the same time, he also called on Sichuan to provide roads.

After Qiao Yu learned that the power was launched, he knew that what he should come was coming. Although he admired Cai E very much, the two of them now have their own forces, and this kind of conflict is inevitable.

"No matter what kind of non-commissioned officers you are, as long as you dare to touch my territory, I will fight you desperately!"

Qiao Yu had made up his mind to meet the Yunnan army, and immediately issued a telegram, strongly opposing the Yunnan army's entry into Sichuan.

Qiao Yu said three meanings during the power outage. First, Yunnan is located on the border and has a major national defense mission. If the Yunnan Army goes north and there is a slight loss in the country, from Governor Cai E to ordinary soldiers, they are all national sinners!

Second, Sichuan is still in a state of war. If the Yunnan army rashly enters Sichuan, it is very likely to cause misunderstandings among the Sichuan people, cause conflicts, and hurt the harmony between the two families.

If the Third Yunnan Army wants to aid Hubei, it can completely use Guizhou to enter Hubei directly, which is more appropriate than going to Sichuan.

At the end, Qiao Yu also issued a solemn warning that Sichuan has the ability to solve the remnants of the Qing Dynasty and also has the ability to complete the revolution. No one can destroy the autonomy of Sichuan people with any excuse. At the same time, the Qing Dynasty has not been overthrown. I hope that revolutionary patriots from all over the world will not do things that the relatives are hurt and the enemy is happy!
