Of course, in return for such high-standard courtesy, Zhangjia Living Buddha also used his religious identity in various governments in China in the old time and space to assist the government in Xuanhua's five-nation republican concept, in order to resist the trend of independence, to support the people, stabilize Mongolia, Huairou Tibet and other border areas. During the War of Resistance, the Japanese threatened and tempted Zhangjia Living Buddha from many ways to control it, but Zhangjia Living Buddha was unmoved and followed the National Government to travel to Nanjing, Chongqing, Chengdu and other places to call on Mongolian and Tibetan compatriots to promote the war of resistance. It should also be said that during this period, Zhangjia Living Buddha did indeed do a lot of things that are beneficial to the country to maintain the stability of the border, resist independence and division, and fight against foreign invasions, which is still worthy of recognition.

It is precisely because the political attributes of Zhangjia Living Buddha are greater than religious attributes, and they are highly dependent on the central government. At the same time, they have done a lot of practical things for the country in the old time and space. The East China Government believes that Zhangjia Living Buddha is listed as an object that can be won, and the possibility of persuading surrender is also very high. Therefore, in the next stage, the East China Government's work on the Northwest is mainly to persuade Cen Chunxuan and Zhangjia Living Buddha. At the same time, of course, it is further deepening and stabilizing the rule of the East China Government in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Mongolia and other regions.

Just when the East China Government completed the military plan in the north, another descendant of the Qing court who had become emperor, Puwei Government, also went through thousands of miles to finally arrive in Hunan Province and officially set foot in southern China.

Pu Wei and his party evacuated Xi'an, first arrived at Hanzhong Prefecture, and then sent people to contact Sichuan Governor Chen Kuilong, asking Chen Kuilong to recognize Pu Wei's throne and invite Pu Wei into Sichuan. At the same time, the people from Britain and France in Sichuan also helped Pu Wei deal with it.

Soon Pu Wei received a reply from Chen Kuilong, expressing his willingness to make Pu Wei the king and send troops to Baoning Mansion, which borders Hanzhong Prefecture, to invite Pu Wei into Sichuan.

It turned out that after the Qing Dynasty, the governors and governors in the south were like separatist and independent. Pu Ye and Pu Wei successively proclaimed emperors. Except for Song Tao, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang who established Pu Ye, no governors declared loyalty to the two. At this time, most governors and governors hoped that they could be the master of their own affairs and no longer wanted to be controlled by others.

But not all governors and governors have the same idea. Sichuan Governor Chen Kuilong is an exception. It turns out that although Chen Kuilong was not old, he was only in his early 50s at that time, his thoughts were quite conservative. He adhered to the ancestors to establish the law and was extremely disgusted with reform and reform. He believed that the imperial examination was abolished, morale was arrogant, and the liberal revolution led to the change of today's fatherlessness and monarchy. He thought that there were three things he could be proud of: one was not to contact new scholars, two was not to perfunctory students, and three was not to accept fake famous scholars. As for the East China government, he regarded it as a traitor, committing rebellious crimes, and taking on the slaughter of his own.

When the East China Government destroyed the Qing court, Chen Kuilong was even more heartbroken. He looked at Beiting that night, and his soul flew over and sighed to the moon: The world has been ruined for 268 years, and it is no longer a pity.

Pu Ye and Pu Wei successively proclaimed emperors. Although Chen Kuilong did not express his support, it was not that Chen Kuilong did not want to support him. First, there were two emperors, and Chen Kuilong didn't know who he should support; second, there were many people in Sichuan Province who were unwilling to support these two emperors, hoping to maintain the current situation of Sichuan separatist rule. Although Chen Kuilong was the governor of Sichuan, he did not take office for a long time and his foundation in Sichuan was unstable. Moreover, he was a civil servant, was not very proficient in military affairs, and did not have a reliable army. Therefore, after losing the authority of the court, he could not stop his military generals. At this time, several military generals with soldiers had not been very strong and had not listened to Chen Kuilong's orders, and some even had the idea of ​​replacing them. However, the remaining power of the Qing court was still there, and the situation was not clear yet, so he did not dare to act rashly for a while.

Although Chen Kuilong's thoughts were conservative, he was not stupid, so he did not dare to express his support for the new emperor easily at this time, but he had great expectations for the two of them, hoping that they could lie to the firewood and try their best to revive the Qing Dynasty. At least do something worthwhile, so that he could tell his subordinates that he knew that Pu Jun had turned to Japan in an all-round way and did not hesitate to cede territory to Japan, which made Chen Kuilong very disappointed.

At this moment, Pu Wei and his party entered Sichuan from Hanzhong Prefecture. After Chen Kuilong received Pu Wei's notice, he immediately recruited his civil and military officials to negotiate. Of course, Chen Kuilong advocated welcome Pu Wei into Sichuan and made Pu Wei the king. Because Pu Jun's performance was disappointing, Chen Kuilong no longer had to worry about choices. Moreover, Pu Wei had a good reputation among the Qing royal family and was much stronger than Pu Jun, so Chen Kuilong didn't feel any disappointment.

Although most Sichuan officials were unwilling to welcome Pu Wei and his party into Sichuan, on the one hand, they opposed Pu Wei and his party into Sichuan, and no one led the leader and refused them; on the other hand, Pu Wei's strength was not underestimated this time, and his army had more than 40,000 people. Although there were tens of thousands of troops in Sichuan, they were separated from all over the city and could not concentrate. Moreover, Pu Wei had the title of emperor after all, and at this time, the emperor was still frightened.

More importantly, both Britain and France supported Pu Wei's entry into Sichuan and urged Chen Kuilong to join Pu Wei's government to fight against the East China Government. Except for the East China Government, the other governors and governors did not dare to underestimate the attitudes of foreigners. Therefore, Chen Kuilong strongly advocated the invitation of Pu Wei into Sichuan, and no one else dared to oppose it easily.

After receiving Chen Kuilong's reply, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Originally, Pu Wei just wanted to pass by Sichuan, but he didn't expect that Chen Kuilong would turn to him so easily. This was simply an unexpected surprise, because Sichuan is a big province with tens of thousands of troops and a population of tens of millions, and Sichuan has abundant supplies and a large number of production. It is a good place to build a foundation and establish a business.

Of course, some people suspected that Chen Kuilong was cheating, but at this time, Xi'an Prefecture was captured by the People's Army and Pu Wei's retreat had been cut off, so he had to enter Sichuan no matter what. So Pu Wei and his party could only grit their teeth and enter Sichuan with fear.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Pu Wei and his party arrived in Chengdu very smoothly. When Chen Kuilong went out to welcome Pu Wei, he said long live and bowed three times and nine times to Pu Wei, which was considered to be a formal recognition of Pu Wei's throne. Pu Wei also comforted Chen Kuilong with kind words, and the atmosphere of meeting the king and his subjects was pretty good.

After a few days of rest in Chengdu, representatives of Britain and France urged Pu Wei to set off as soon as possible, enter and exit Sichuan in the east and reach the south. But at this moment, the mentality of Pu Wei and his group changed. Many people believed that Sichuan had rich products, a large population, a dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and could build a foundation based on Sichuan's province, and there was no need to go out of Sichuan to the south. Moreover, the governors and governors in the southeast are now in separatist and independent, and it is basically impossible for a second Chen Kuilong to appear. Moreover, Jiangbei would rather be in control in Sichuan, work hard to accumulate strength, and restore the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

Although it is a high-sounding word, it is actually a greed for the comfortable life in Guchuan and does not want to suffer from displaced again. After all, in the past year, from Beijing to Shanxi and Shaanxi to Sichuan, he has traveled thousands of miles. His ambitions when he left Beijing have been almost wiped out. He finally arrived at a safe place, so he didn't want to tear it down again.

However, Pu Wei, Shanqi, Tieliang, Liangbi, Yinchang and others understood that Sichuan Province seemed to be comfortable, but it was not a place to stay for a long time. One reason was that all forces in Sichuan Province were complicated. Pu Wei and his group had no foundation in Sichuan, so it was not easy to gain a foothold in Sichuan. Second, after the East China government occupied Shaanxi and took over Hanzhong, they would definitely gain a high hope for Sichuan, so Sichuan was not a stable place. The most important thing was that once they stayed in Sichuan, Britain and France would not support it. Without the support of Britain and France, it was impossible for Pu Wei to achieve great things.

But it is not easy to convince others. After all, most people cannot see that far-reaching and can only see the immediate interests. Although Pu Wei has already proclaimed himself emperor, at this time, the emperor's identity is not very useful.

At this moment, after occupying the entire territory of Shaanxi Province, the People's Army invaded Sichuan and occupied Baoning Prefecture. Baoning Prefecture is Langzhong County, which was stationed by Zhang Fei, a famous general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. It was the gateway to enter Sichuan. The People's Army occupied Baoning Prefecture, which was equivalent to kicking open the gate to enter Sichuan. Therefore, the whole Sichuan was shocked. Although the People's Army did not take advantage of the victory to enter Sichuan, people were still panic.

But as a result, those who advocated garrisoning in Sichuan were scared and finally stopped staying in Sichuan, and instead supported going east to go out of Sichuan and developing in the south.

After unifying the internal opinions, Pu Wei and others were relieved, but Sichuan's important areas could not be given up easily. So Pu Wei, Shanqi, Tieliang, Liangbi, Yinchang and others decided to leave their families, the elderly and weak in Chengdu for a temporary residence. Pu Wei and others led 4 cooperative and imperial guards and about 23,000 elite troops to enter and exit Sichuan, and left Tieliang and Zaixun to help Chen Kuilong guard Sichuan, and guarded the important roads and passes eastwards and ensured that the roads entering and leaving Sichuan were smooth.

Although Pu Wei and others took away more than 20,000 troops, the remaining troops were 20,000 Shemen, and there were two new troops of the association. The weapons and equipment were not bad, and their strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, Tie Liang was also a man who knew the soldiers. Therefore, he was able to help Chen Kuilong in Sichuan. On the one hand, he could resist the attack of the People's Army; on the other hand, he could suppress all forces in Sichuan and wait for an opportunity to rectify all forces in Sichuan. Chen Kuilong was also very satisfied with this arrangement. It seems that Pu Wei still had some things to do. Maybe it was really wrong to choose Pu Wei himself.
