Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    An inconspicuous courtyard in the north of Kunming City is where the former Yunnan Provincial Governor and Southwest District Chairman Tang Jiyao was imprisoned. After Yun and Hu Ruoyu remonstrated, they did not harm Tang Jiyao.  They have been sending people to persuade Tang Jiyao to go abroad, or leave Yunnan for Tianjin or find an apartment.

    Tang Jiyao was dissatisfied because he was forced to abdicate by his favorite general, and he became seriously ill due to anger.  He was not in good health now, so Long Yun and Hu Ruoyu didn't push him anymore, and just waited for him to get better.

    Tang Jiyao has been ups and downs for so many years. Ordinarily, he should have looked away, but this time he was betrayed by the one he thought was his favorite, and the anger in his heart could not go away. He rested for a while in the past few days, and his former subordinates did not know.  Either he doesn't dare to come or he doesn't want to come? No one comes to see him, and his current activities are also restricted.

    This morning, he was still sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air, shaking his fan. Then he heard footsteps outside, and his closed eyes suddenly opened.  At this time, who will come back to see me?

    But who is Tang Jiyao? He immediately closed his eyes and placed the fan on his chest, as if he was asleep.

    After a while, the two people walked into the courtyard and came to Tang Jiyao's side to see him looking at each other.

    One of them said softly: "Commander!"

    When Tang Jiyao heard this voice, he knew that it was none other than Hu Ruoyu, who had forced him to step down. His mood, which had only calmed down for a few days, suddenly became boiling again.  He really wanted to jump up and scold Hu Ruoyu immediately, but he held back and still looked like he was asleep.

    "It seems that the commander is asleep. How about waiting here for a while." Another person said.

    It¡¯s Zhang Ruji.  What are the two of them doing here? Tang Jiyao was thinking about this problem while pretending to sleep.

    By the way, Hu Ruoyu felt very unhappy yesterday because he failed to find Long Yun to jointly send troops to Guizhou.  He thought at that time: Since you asked me not to be the governor of Guizhou, you, the governor of Yunnan Province, should not do it either.

    Hu Ruoyu began to count the people who could deal with Long Yun with him. In fact, there was no need to think about such people at all.  (Just read the novel There are currently four people with military power in Yunnan Province, Long Yun, Zhang Ruji, Li Xuanting and myself. Although Li Xuanting is also a garrison envoy, he only has one regiment of troops. It is useless to find him. Now  Only Zhang Ruji, who also has an army, can be found.

    Zhang Ruji was at the time when Tang Jiyao went north to aid Sichuan.  He was left in Yunnan to look after his family.  Later, Long Yun and Hu Ruoyu imprisoned Tang Jiyao and divided the territory between them and each province. Ken did not consider his affairs at all.

    Later, Long Yun became the governor of Yunnan Province, and Zhang Ruji was still very dissatisfied with him still being appointed as the garrison envoy of Zhaotong.  However, he did not contribute in the process of bringing down Tang Jiyao, and he could only blame himself for his lack of vision.  Later, when he saw Hu Ruoyu entering Guizhou without hope, he naturally felt gloating in his heart.

    Yesterday morning, he told his confidants: This bearded guy is always scheming.  Left empty-handed.

    In the afternoon, Hu Ruoyu came to visit. The two talked for a long time in the study, and Hu Ruoyu left with a satisfied smile.  Today, two people came to see Tang Jiyao together. Their purpose was simple, to help Tang Jiyao up again and use Tang Jiyao's influence to bring down Long Yun.

    Tang Jiyao did not go out during this period and knew very little about external information.  His family didn't tell him about outside politics, so he couldn't figure out the purpose of Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji's visit after thinking for a while, and finally had to think that they wanted him to leave Yunnan.  Forget it, I'll just go to a big city and live in an apartment.

    Having made up his mind, Tang Jiyao slowly opened his eyes and stretched.  Then he stood up and moved around twice before turning around.

    "Commander!" Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji were sitting, but when they saw that Tang Jiyao was about to leave, they quickly stood up.

    "Hey, it's you. What's the point of coming to my place?" Although Tang Jiyao was ready to become an apartment owner, he still wasn't angry with Hu Ruoyu.

    "Commander!" Hu Ruoyu shouted sadly, and fell to his knees on the ground. "It's because the brothers were obsessed and listened to Long Yun's temptation to do such a thing. This time, I came here to apologize to the commander!"

    As the saying goes, there is gold under a man's knees. When Hu Ruoyu knelt down, Tang Jiyao's heart softened.  [.dot] No matter what the truth is.  As soon as he knelt down today, Tang Jiyao would forgive him.

    "Zijia, get up quickly." Tang Jiyao said while reaching out to help Hu Ruoyu.

    Hu Ruoyu didn't show any pretense, saying nonsense like I won't get up until you forgive me, and stood up without hesitation.

    "Let's talk in the house if we have anything to say." Tang Jiyao knew that they were coming, and something must have happened, otherwise Hu Ruoyu wouldn't have acted like this.

    The three of them entered the study, and a maid brought tea.

    "To be honest, Commander, Zijia and I came here to get rid of Long Yun.Back on the front line, he was dissatisfied with the commander-in-chief. Jia's brother-in-law was not able to defend the city well. Long Yun took this as a threat and asked Zi Jiali to make Zhifa betray the commander-in-chief.  But now that Long Yun is in charge of Yunnan, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are emerging one after another, causing widespread complaints.  He pressed hard on me and others. Zijia and I discussed that if we want to return a bright and sunny sky to Yunnan, the commander-in-chief must return to power.  "The two of them had discussed it before coming. It would be better for Zhang Ruji to speak. After all, there is still a gap between Hu Ruoyu and Tang Jiyao.

    Tang Jiyao understood after listening to what Zhang Ruji said. All the complaints and exorbitant taxes were fake, and the uneven distribution of the spoils was real.

    "Haha, I have figured it out. Instead of continuing to be so intrigued and scheming, it would be better to go to Tianjin or live in an apartment and live a stable life. After years of fighting in the north and south, I have not been able to spend time with my wife and children at home. This time I am light.  Ah." Tang Jiyao smiled softly and said.

    "What are you talking about, Marshal? You are only forty-five years old this year and in your prime, how can you have the desire to go into seclusion." Zhang Ruji heard what he said and quickly spoke to persuade.

    "You don't need to say any more, I have made up my mind. If you want to chat with me, just sit down. If you still want to say this, then leave." After Tang Jiyao said that, before Zhang Ruji could speak again, he picked up the teacup and drank.  Tea.

    When Zhang Ruji and Hu Ruoyu saw Tang Jiyao bringing tea to the guests, they had no choice but to stand up and leave.

    After walking out of the door and getting into the car, Zhang Ruji began to feel dissatisfied.

    "This old guy is actually putting on airs. I don't believe he really doesn't want to make a comeback!" Zhang Ruji said angrily.

    "You already said that he is putting on airs. It seems that there is no need to rush this matter. We can only take it slowly." Hu Ruoyu said with a bitter smile.

    Will Tang Jiyao be willing to live in an apartment?  If there is no chance for a comeback, he will have to be willing to do so.  But with such an opportunity right in front of him, how could he not be tempted.  What he is worried about now is that he does not have much strength in his hands now. Even if he defeats Long Yun, what he said in Yunnan Province will not count.  Therefore, he decided to put on airs. On the one hand, he also wanted his own dignity, and on the other hand, he also wanted to carefully consider whether this matter could be done.

    Not long after Hu Ruoyu left, the lobbyist sent by Long Yun came to Tang Jiyao's place again.  Of course, they did not go directly to take Tang Jiyao away, but under the guise of treating him.

    That doctor was really talented and knowledgeable. He examined Tang Jiyao and said that he had a lot of anger. If he tried to be less angry in the future, he would be fine.  Then the people who came with the doctor began to persuade Tang Jiyao. They just wanted him to leave Yunnan.

    Although this kind of thing happened frequently during this period, he had just had a chance to turn around, and now he was asked to accept being Yu Gong again, and he began to feel unhappy.

    The lobbyists left with cold words, and Tang Jiyao said in his heart that he would agree to it as long as they came again.

    Hu and Zhang didn¡¯t let him wait long. Just one day later, the two came to Tang Jiyao¡¯s yard again.

    This time Tang Jiyao just declined a little and agreed to them that he could go out to eradicate Long Yun again.

    On the night of August 11, Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji suddenly sent troops to attack the residences of Long Yun and other generals.

    Long Yun was sleeping when he suddenly heard gunfire outside.  He quickly got up from the bed and took out the pistol from his wife's dresser.

    "What's going on?" Long Yun's wife also heard the sound and asked tremblingly.

    "I'll go out, you clean up." Long Yun ordered his wife and walked out.

    As soon as we left the house, the guard captain came over.

    "Reporting to the commander, Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji have surrounded us. What should we do now?"

    "Is there someone at the back door?" Long Yun asked.

    "There are people, at least a few hundred people outside." The guard captain nodded.

    "Commander Long, please stop resisting and surrender obediently. Our brothers will not make things difficult for you." Hu Ruoyu's voice came in from outside.

    "You go and hold a cup of tea first, and then surrender after a cup of tea. He won't make things difficult for you. Go ahead." Long Yun gave him an order.

    Knowing that Long Yun had made arrangements, the guard captain nodded and left.

    When Long Yun returned to the house, his wife had already packed away some soft goods.

    "Okay, let's go!" Long Yun said, leading his wife out of the residence and to the dry well behind the yard. He first put his wife down and then climbed down himself.

    There is a secret passage under the dry well that leads to the outside of the city. This secret passage was not dug by Long Yun.  He bought this house and discovered this secret passage by chance.  The other end of the secret passage isThere was a dry well outside a dilapidated temple. No one came here all year round. Yun helped his wife climb up the well. The two of them did not dare to swim and walked towards the residence of their cousin Lu Han.

    Besides, Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji shouted outside the door for a long time but no one answered, so Hu Ruoyu sent people to attack.

    A few capable people climbed over the wall, only to find that there was no one inside and the door was just bolted.

    They opened the door and brought in Hu Ruoyu and Zhang Ruji.

    They found the guard who had put down his weapons and stayed together. When asked about Long Yun¡¯s whereabouts, no one knew.

    "I don't believe it. He can grow wings and fly. Someone come and search for me. Don't miss any corner!" Hu Ruoyu shouted angrily.  (This site,.
