Monday, August 1, 1921 at noon.

China, Zhili Province, Baoding Province.

"Hahaha, it's so fun......"

"Hahaha, Jiebang British always pretend to be big tails (yi first sound) Ba Ying ......" (Translation: These British people are always pretending)

"Hahaha, they also have today's shun (shun second sound)!" (Translation: They also have the ugly appearance they have today!) ）”

As soon as I heard the smell of this goubuli bun and Tianjin marijuana flowers, I knew that the person who laughed was from Jinmen.

Although this Tianjin native has a very big voice, he is not tall, and his round head has sparse hair, but he has a very powerful mustache.

This gentleman is the "King of Baoding" and "Direct Yuan Rong" of the Republic of China, known as the General Huwei of the Republic of China, the patrol envoy of the three provinces of Zhilu and Henan, Oscar-von-Royatar-Cao Kun-Zhongshan.

Although his old family background is a little worse, even the great intellectual Gu Weijun commented in his memoirs that I have a high opinion of Cao Kun as a leader, although he has not received much education, he has the character of a leader.

Oscar-Cao Dashuai smiled at a general with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in military uniform but elegant temperament: "Ziyu, Jieke is really happy, very happy." ”

There is no need to ask who Ziyu is, he is the general of the Republic of China Fuwei (later Shang), the deputy envoy of the three provinces of Zhilu and Henan, Wolfgang - Midamaya - Wu Peifu - Ziyu.

I only heard Wolfgang-Wu Dashuai say in a Shandong official with a slight taste of pancake rolls and green onions: "Zhong Shuai, this time the British are indeed embarrassed and embarrassed." This hibiscus army is indeed a group of good men. ”

These two are known as the "Emperor and Emperor...... Well, in fact, there are no direct bosses and second-in-command masters with this reputation in history.

But, but, but, however, the two names of Oskar and Wolfgang, which have the taste of the Prussian Junker aristocracy, are not blind.

Don't forget, back then, I studied England in the Qing Dynasty and Prussia in the army. These two also received a little education as officers of the Prussian Army. In 1895, when President Yuan Da, who was not our president, was training at the small station, Cao Kun was already a sentry officer in the first battalion.

Cao and Wu were originally discussing the situation in Hubei. Because in late July 1921, there was a "downfall movement" in Hubei.

During the May Fourth period, the "Expulsion Movement" led by the descendants of the Heavenly Demons in his hometown drove away Zhang Jingyao, the Hunan overseer of the Anhui system. At that time, the Hunan folk proverb said, the dignified call Zhang, Yao Shunyu soup, one, two, three, four, tigers, leopards, jackals, Zhang poison is not removed, and Hunan is hopeless.

Now it is the turn of the "direct" Hubei overseer Wang Zhanyuan. In fact, he is not so "straight", but he just echoes the direct line to oppose the Anhui line.

Lao Wang was born poor and suffered from white eyes since he was a child, and his mother actually starved to death. It is conceivable that after this kind of person makes a fortune, he will either be bitter and bitter, or he will become more serious.

Wang Zhanyuan claimed to be the "reincarnation of the white tiger spirit", and this white tiger spirit really made Hubei angry and resentful. As a warlord, Lao Wang is too stingy, and even the troops directly under the direct administration below are often in arrears.

Therefore, in June this year, Yichang, Wuchang, and other places mutinied one after another, and several mutinous troops looted and burned on a large scale, causing more than 1,000 deaths among the people, and affecting the foreign banks and residences of Japanese, British, and American foreigners.

The locals in Hubei, who had already hated Wang Zhanyuan, immediately established the "League of Fallen Kings," and the people in Beijing and Hubei also petitioned the State Council to remove Wang Zhanyuan from his post.

The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and on July 20, the "War of the Fallen Kings" broke out. Zhao Hengti, the overseer of Hunan, appointed himself as the commander-in-chief of Hubei, and the Hunan army attacked Hubei from Yuezhou.

Wang Zhanyuan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately sent a telegram to Cao and Wu for help, and these two really sent troops to "rescue" him.

On July 29, Wu Peifu ordered Xiao Yaonan, commander of the 25th Division, to lead troops into Hunan as the commander-in-chief of Hubei, and on the 30th, Xiao Yaonan led his army to Hankou...... And then there was no further step.

It was not until August 7 that Wang Zhanyuan was forced to resign by telegram, Xiao Yaonan immediately settled in Wuchang, and Lao Xiao became the new overseer of Hubei.

The name Xiao Yaonan is relatively unfamiliar. He served as Cao Kun's chief of staff, and he was the descendant of the old Cao line. He is most famous for causing the "Erqi Massacre" in 1923 during his tenure as the overseer of Hubei.

Today is August 1st. For the two of them, the form of Hubei at this time is not a small good but a big good.

Wang Zhanyuan, who is called "direct line" but is actually independent, is about to be finished...... In fact, it's time to get out, and his lineage is already in place, and he will be able to swallow the important province of Hubei soon.

This direct line can be said to be both in name and in fact.

The icing on the cake is that they again read in the newspapers that the British were disgraced.

As mentioned earlier, the British felt that these two direct leaders were too "patriotic", so they always added to these two.

So now that they see in the newspaper that the British "big-tailed eagle" is deflated, the two of them are naturally very happy.

Wu Peifu saw that Lao Cao was very happy, so he took this opportunity to advise: "Zhong Shuai, this time I am fortunate to have Ju Weng in the center and handle it properly, so there is no big mess." ”

Procrastination sometimes works. President Xu Da and General Shi Da dragged it on, and things really changed.

Originally, the patriotic masses of Seris were once again provoked by the Hibiscus Army to "return me to Qingdao", and how many masters, writers, celebrities, and future celebrities worked hard to write and published one response after another in newspapers around the country.

The Hibiscus Legion was an instant hit, and even the children of Hongmen from all over the country felt that they had grown faces.

Seeing that the second May Fourth Movement is about to break out......

But I didn't expect that people just made a false shot, and within two days, the Hibiscus Army "sold" the two crown princes to the Irish Republican Army. When the news came, the patriotic masses of Seris felt that their waists flashed, and their momentum suddenly weakened.

In this way, the Beijing government will not have to make any official statements to dissociate itself from the Hibiscus Army.

And Lao Wu said this because although they are both old people in Beiyang, the relationship between Cao Kun and Xu Shichang is not good. He also knew that his boss wanted to be the president, so he always felt that President Xu was in his way.

"Hehe......" Cao Kun naturally understood what his close deputy meant, but he just smiled innocently, and then opened the topic.

"Ziyu, I didn't understand, what is the matter with the doctor surnamed Yuan? If you look at the newspapers in the past few days, Brother Yuan first rescued the two crown princes, and then asked the Irish to help him play a movie, and now he has become the biggest suspect or the boss of Hongmen...... It's so interesting. ”

The "Cao San fool" who sells cloth naturally doesn't know what our Master Yuan has written, but the real "Wu Da Xiucai" does, and he has also read "A Group of Wives and Concubines" and "The Village Teacher", and he also admires Dr. Yuan's "talent" very much.

So he introduced to Lao Cao what he knew about Dr. Yuan's deeds, which were actually just the tip of the iceberg of our Master Yuan's "great cause".

"Strange man, what a strange man."

Cao Kun thoughtfully touched the mustache, and suddenly patted his thigh and said, "Bao!" We must bail him out. ”

"Zhong Shuai, why is this ......" Wu Peifu was stunned for a moment.

But seeing Cao San's fool standing up, he said firmly: "Because I want to invite this Dr. Yuan to be a professor at the university I run!" ”

The university run by his old man is Hebei University, and even the name "Hebei University" was given by him, and even the first president was concurrently served by his younger brother Cao Rui, a high-ranking official in Zhili. (note 2)

…………………………

Note 1: The meaning of "not too fast" is ...... You know, it's a quick read.

Note 2: Murong went to look at the official website of Hebei University, and they claimed that it was formerly known as the "Tianjin Industrial and Commercial College" founded by the French Catholic Jesuits in 1921.

That doesn't seem like a good idea.

Because the "Hebei University" founded by Cao Kun can be traced back to the Zhili Higher School established in 1902, also known as Baoding University Hall. This is the preparatory department of Peiyang University, which was established by Yuan Shikai.

Peiyang University is the predecessor of Tianjin University......

I understand, Hebei University doesn't want its predecessor to become the preparatory department of the predecessor of Tianjin University.
