Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Best Time

On May 23, 1917, President Le Yuanhong dismissed Duan Qirui from his posts as prime minister and army chief. At this point, the confrontation between the government and the court in the Beiyang government has become irreconcilable.

At this time, the Beiyang government can still take care of whether a small frontier governor is rich! Therefore, no one cares about the disappearance of a minor officer in the Ministry of Communications.

However, a certain minister of the Ministry of Communications was frightened and immediately resigned and returned to his hometown.

At this time, after Duan Qirui received the dismissal order, he telegraphed the provinces and did not recognize his dismissal order.

Duan Qirui of the Anhui system even instigated the warlords of more than 10 provinces and regions to electrify "independence" and send troops to attack Beijing.

The Anhui and the Overseers who followed them responded. Feng Guozhang, who is directly related to Feng Guozhang, did not express his position after receiving the call, but took a wait-and-see attitude.

At this time, the throne of President Lebanon was in jeopardy. More than a dozen provinces have declared independence, and you are still a big president!

Therefore, Li Yuanhong had no choice but to summon Zhang Xun to Beijing on June 1 to conduct final mediation.

However, what he didn't expect was that after Zhang Xun entered Beijing, he changed his course and wanted to support the restoration of Emperor Puyi.

Fortunately, President Li Yuanhong, who led the wolf into the room, still maintained a sense of sanity and refused Zhang Xun's cooperation and coercion.

After the news of the restoration came out, the whole country condemned it! Because Zhang Xun was recruited into Beijing by President Li Da, he had to carry this pot himself.

So he had no choice but to dismiss himself from his post and telegraphed the direct warlord Feng Guozhang to act as president, and he himself hid in the Japanese embassy in order to avoid Zhang Xun's pigtail army.

At this point, the [government and court dispute] in the early days of the Republic of China ended with the resignation of Li Yuanhong, who was not from the Beiyang system.

And Zhang Xun's restoration was also attacked by Duan Qirui, and the pigtailed army was defeated and defeated.

From July 1 to 12, 1917, Pu Yi, who had just sat on the dragon chair for another 12 days, once again announced his abdication. The little emperor is probably also depressed! This is the second time that the abdication has been announced.

This can be regarded as creating history, and throughout Chinese history, the emperor who can announce his abdication twice in his life is probably the only one!

Zhang Xun, who directed the farce of the restoration, fled to the Dutch embassy in a hurry and hid.

This farce of restoration lasted only 12 days, and it came to a hurried end in the midst of a nationwide condemnation and Duan Qirui's military crusade! ~~~

Xinjiang's Zhang Dadu Governor watched a free show! Pouting ~ Beiyang warlords? Now the warlord melee is about to begin!

[Beiyang Warlord] was originally the collective name of all the armies ruled by Yuan Shikai.

After Yuan Shikai's death, the Beiyang warlords split into three main factions. They are: (1) the direct line headed by Feng Guozhang; (2) the Anhui system headed by Duan Qirui; (3) The Feng department headed by Zhang Zuolin.

During the Republic of China, there were many warlords, large and small, and the big factions were Zhi, Feng, Anhui, Yunnan, and Gui. Yan Xishan took root in Shanxi during the Yuan Shikai period. Sun Chuanfang came to prominence during the Beiyang government.

In addition to these larger warlord forces, there are even more small warlords in all parts of the country who are kings of the mountains. Therefore, during the warlord melee period, the warlords across the country were not all derived from the Beiyang Army.

This is an era when there is a gun and the king of grass!

And he, Zhang Dadu, Governor Zhang Erye, is now one of them! It's still the biggest one hidden from everyone's sight! Hey!

Not to mention that these two goods like this era! Because here he can do whatever he wants!

However, the difference between the second goods and the domestic warlords is ~ he is looking at the development of the political situation in Russia at this time. In order to keep abreast of the latest developments, the Military Commission of the Xinjiang Metropolitan Government had to send young agents from the immature military intelligence department to venture deep into Russian territory.

Because, the second crisis of the new Russian government is coming! ~~~

To this end, he Zhang Dadu urgently transferred 10 divisions from the First and Second Group Armies to cooperate with the 20 divisions of the Third Army, a total of 40 divisions, and rushed straight to the outer northeast region of Heilongjiang Province.

The order received by the troops was: Before September 20, 1917, they must arrive at the first-line borders of Hunchun, Jixi, Fuyuan, and Heihe in the northeast region to assemble and stand by.

He was waiting for an opportunity, the occurrence of the [July Bloodshed], which would cause chaos throughout Russia.

It was this event that led the Bolsheviks in Russia to recognize their situation, which induced the prelude to the Great Revolution throughout Russia!

Soon after the formation of the Russian Provisional Government in 1917, there were several crises. The new government tried to get out of the crisis through a military victory.

On July 1, 1917, the Provisional Government ordered Russia to launch an offensive against the German-Austrian forces on the Southwestern Front, which resulted in a crushing defeat.

When the news came, it aroused the anger of the vast majority of the Russian population.

On July 17, 1917, under the leadership of the Bolshevik Party, more than 500,000 workers, soldiers and sailors in Petrograd marched through the streets, chanting the slogan "All power to the Soviets" and demanding that the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets immediately seize power.

At 2 p.m., the commander of the Petrograd Military District, in the name of "maintaining order in the city," ordered troops to open fire on the demonstrators, causing more than 400 casualties.

At the same time, the Provisional Government declared martial law in the capital, disarmed the workers, closed the Bolshevik mouthpiece, Pravda, and wanted the Bolshevik leader Lenin.

The Provisional Government thus took full control by force, and the Soviets, controlled by the Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries, became vassals of Erniang.

The bloodshed in July made the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, see clearly the fact that the road to the peaceful development of the revolution was simply not feasible.

At this point, after the fall of the Tsar in Russia, the coexistence of the two regimes came to an end.

The complete ascension of the Provisional Government has temporarily halted the territory of Russia, but under the surface of calm there is an undercurrent, and an even greater storm is brewing across all of Russia! ~~~

(The Russian words "Bolsheviks" and "Mensheviks" are transliterations of the Russian majority and minority, respectively.) Both were socialists who believed in socialism, but their lines were different.

During the Second Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in July and August 1903, Marxists led by Lenin and the bourgeois reformist faction headed by Martov had sharp differences over the formulation of the party constitution.

In the election of the members of the central leadership of the congress, Lenin's supporters received a majority of votes, called Bolsheviks (meaning majority), and Martov and others received a minority of votes, called Mensheviks (meaning minority).

In fact, it is the well-known problem of left-leaning and right-leaning. The Mensheviks, on the other hand, were right-leaning opportunists. )

In fact, there is no need for him to send troops to recover the Outer Northeast at this time, because this is not the best time to recover the Outer Northeast.

Because it's too far away from the area under the control of his Governor Zhang! Even if it is recovered now, he is not able to catch the whip!

After all, he doesn't have that many troops to guard such a long border now. In fact, he only needs to recover the nearby land now, develop well, and wait for the opportunity of World War II.

However, because of the successful transformation of the Tarim Basin by these two goods, the problem of water shortage in the whole territory of Xinjiang has been completely solved, and Xinjiang's industrial and agricultural harvest in the next few years can be expected!

And his faith swelled rapidly.

I don't complain about the expansion of the second goods! Xinjiang's industrial and agricultural production is doing very well. In terms of industry, the newly built factories have been built and put into use, and all kinds of new inventions and new machinery have emerged one after another!

The rapid development of industry, in turn, has promoted the rapid popularization of mechanized large-scale agricultural production.

All kinds of simple agricultural machinery stolen from the second goods in later generations have blossomed everywhere in Xinjiang farmers in the form of leasing in the Governor's Office.

(Of course, they are all walk-behind tractors for individual use, and some machinery suitable for individual farmers.) This kind of simple agricultural machinery will not be too much in the Chinese countryside in later generations! They are simple to use, have no technical content, and every farmer will operate them once they see it! )

The collective farms of the Construction Corps are even more exaggerated in the use of large-scale agricultural specialized combined machinery.

These are inseparable from the huge investment of the Governor's Office in the Power Research Institute! The Power Research Institute has made great contributions to the industrialization of Xinjiang!

For this reason, in order to form a benign competition mechanism, he Zhang Dudu also announced and rewarded all the researchers of the Power Research Institute in the name of the Governor's Office!

Jackpot! Jackpot! Win again! For a while, the employees of other research institutes were blushing.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of the research institutes, he Zhang Dadu is even more willing to spend his blood! The logistical systems of the institutes are all configured according to the standards of later generations.

This standard of treatment for future generations is unique in the world today!

Don't talk about this level of treatment, you can't retain talents!

What's more, the Xinjiang Metropolitan Government only focuses on excavating those scientific researchers at the level of associate researcher who are not valued in various countries.

In fact, what his second master wants is a knowledgeable experimenter who can do repeated experiments. Because the tasks he gives are all projects that require a lot of repeated experiments.

Although the second goods can be plagiarized, he really doesn't know the specific ratio of some synthetic materials.

For example, he knows the processing technology and metal composition of modern artillery barrels, but how can he, a big-headed soldier, know the specific proportions of each metal used to make the barrels? Even if it's available on the Internet, it's impossible to be so detailed!

Therefore, this requires a large number of researchers to constantly repeat the test ratio!

During World War I, with the exception of a few countries in the military field, which invested state-owned capital, the research institutes of various countries in various countries were basically independently developed by private companies and raising their own funds.

Even if there is the investment of state-owned capital, it is also a limited number of old capitalist countries, but most of the investment is in the maritime military field.

There are few or almost no state-funded research institutions, which provides great convenience for the second master's poaching plan.

"Overseer! The old man at home has called, and you must go home today. It is said that it is a distinguished guest from the mainland! ”

"Guest?"

The second master looked up from the mountain of papers.
