Duan Qirui took the initiative to apologize, and Yuan Shikai indirectly apologized, which resolved the crisis of impeachment of Duan Qirui and temporarily alleviated the various contradictions of the first cabinet government. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Despite this incident, everyone can see Wang Yongan's ability from this matter, and also see the contradiction between Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi, the southern newspapers began to report on the internal contradictions in Beiyang, and claimed that Yuan Shikai was eager to rule China by dictatorship, criticizing Yuan Shikai as a dictatorial president and refusing to relinquish power.

Duan Qirui's usurpation ended in failure, he learned the cause and effect, and knew that Wang Yongan was making trouble behind his back, so he recorded this hatred on Wang Yongan's head.

After that, the ministers began to issue statements on the formation of the 12 cabinet ministries and the personnel structure one after another, and successively took over various functions of the previous dynasty, but Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Chen Qimei refused to accept the post, saying that he was willing to stay in Shanghai to fight the rebellion and prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to disturb the government. Chen Qimei absolutely did not believe in Yuan Shikai, and his army was unwilling to accept the reorganization of the War Department. But Chen Qimei played a trick, he ordered his troops to turn into police, and the police are generally managed by the local government, which led to the central government having no way to deal with Chen Qimei, who refused to go to Beijing. In the end, Yuan Shikai was furious and dismissed Chen Qimei from the post of Minister of Industry and Commerce, and at the same time appointed Zheng Rucheng as the overseer of Shanghi, and only let Chen Qimei serve as the chairman of the Shanghi Business Council.

Since the Minister of Industry and Commerce was dismissed, he vacated a position, and Yuan Shikai appointed Tang Shaoyi to nominate Jiang Zuobin as the new Minister of Industry and Commerce. This Jiang Zuobin is the Wuhan Revolutionary Party, and the Nanjing Revolutionary Party is incompatible, this move caused the Nanjing Revolutionary Party to be dissatisfied, when Yuan Shikai submitted the letter of appointment to the Congress, it was immediately rejected by the National Assembly headed by the Nanjing Revolutionaries, and the National Assembly did not approve Jiang Zuobin as Minister of Industry and Commerce.

This move by the National Assembly further exacerbated the contradictions between Nanjing and the Wuhan Revolutionary Party, and then Yuan Shikai proposed that Senator Liu Kuiyi be the Minister of Industry and Commerce. After Liu Kuiyi became the Minister of Industry and Commerce, the 12 ministries of the Cabinet were finally assembled, and then personnel appointments were issued one after another.

However, among the ministries, only the Ministry of War issued personnel appointments the slowest, especially the letter of appointment of the deputy minister of the army, perhaps Duan Qirui forgot, or perhaps he did it intentionally, but did not issue it to Wang Yongan, so that the personnel appointments of the General Administration of the War Department were all issued, but Wang Yongan's appointment letter was not.

Everyone knows that this is Duan Qirui taking revenge on Wang Yongan, and they are worried about Wang Yongan. But Wang Yongan is very leisurely, playing around in Beijing every day, and he can't see the slightest anxiety, but Duan Qirui is anxious. Finally, after Tang Shaoyi criticized the personnel chaos of the Ministry of War, Duan Qirui issued a personnel appointment, and Wang Yongan served as the deputy minister of the army, presiding over the management of military education and military discipline and military law, and sent Wang Yongan to immediately go to the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer School to sort out the chaotic campus.

Wang Yongan then sent his subordinate Jiang Dengxuan to the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and then deliberately came to the War Department to report to Duan Qirui, applying for 500,000 taels of silver for the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer School to improve the construction of the military school, so angry that Duan Qirui said: "With 500,000 taels of silver, I can build an army in two towns." ”

"What do you do without money, the current military academy teaching building is old, the teaching aids are simple, and the training environment for students is extremely poor, if you don't improve it, the people of the whole country will scold you, the secretary of the army, for being incompetent." Wang Yongan said deliberately.

Duan Qirui was so angry that he asked Wang Yongan to solve it himself.

Wang Yongan left the War Department and really solved it himself, but instead of using his own money, he thought of a way to borrow money. He approached the Bank of the Four Nations, and in addition to negotiating the matter of the Dihai Railway, he also hoped that the Bank of the Four Nations would be able to pay a sum of money in advance. When the War Department has money, he will return it to the War Department, and he will borrow money in the name of the War Department, so that in the future, the Four Nations Bank will raise money, and he can ask the War Department for it.

After thinking about it, the Bank of the Four Nations decided to lend 100,000 taels of silver to the War Department, and Wang Yongan happily took the 100,000 taels of silver to Duan Qirui to show his merits, so angry that Duan Qirui shouted: "Wang Jingyun, how can you borrow money in the name of the War Department?" ”

"Didn't you let me figure it out on my own? I'm all thinking about the Chinese Army, and it's my ability to borrow silver, and you should praise me. But I don't need this kind of praise, it's just that all the 100,000 taels of silver have been used by me in the construction of the military academy, I don't know when Chief Duan will be free, I will take you to the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer School to have a look, what is called the old look for a new look, what is called ......"

"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! Duan Qirui was so angry that his nose was crooked again.

Wang Yongan and Duan Qirui's battle of wits in the War Department was passed to Yuan Shikai's ears, and Yuan Shikai also felt helpless, if it was someone else, he would definitely be dismissed by Yuan Shikai, but it was this Wang Yongan, this person has a lot of energy, and he risked letting himself step down last time. Duan Qirui became Wang Yongan's boss, and he was worried every day, and this person had a backbone in the back of his head.

Of course, Yuan Shikai's recent anxiety is not only the infighting in the War Department, but also the criticism of him by newspapers from all walks of life, which has doubled his pressure. A few days ago, the national newspapers praised Yuan Shikai as China's Washington, and only a few days later, Yuan Shikai became the dictator of His Majesty the newspaper.

Yuan Shikai was also angry enough, he accused the newspaper of talking nonsense, and demanded that Zhao Bingjun, the chief of internal affairs, immediately arrest the newspaper editors who talked nonsense. Zhao Bingjun said that he was embarrassed, those newspapers were all in the French Concession, and he could not enter the French Concession to arrest them.

"The Frenchman who gets in the way." Yuan Shikai could only scold the French Dao.

It happened that the French proposed to the government of the Republic of China at this time that the scope of the French Concession could be expanded, and Yang Du suggested that this should be used as a condition to let the French Concession no longer shelter those reactionary editors. After thinking about it, Yuan Shikai still rejected Yang Du's suggestion, and at the same time rejected the French's request to expand the French concession.

At this time, the Four Nations Bank and Japan put pressure on Yuan Shikai, asking Yuan Shikai to approve the Dihai railway plan as soon as possible, and Yuan Shikai did not dare to sign the Dihai railway construction plan casually, after all, if the railway was handed over to foreigners, it was very likely to be infamous. At this time, the contradiction between Duan Qirui and Wang Yongan became deeper and deeper, and Duan Qirui accused Wang Yongan of supporting the construction of the railway by the six countries as a traitorous act, and the mining resources along the line would be squeezed dry by foreign powers. Wang Yongan, on the other hand, believes that the minerals along the route are buried in the ground, and his own people have no funds and no technology for mining, and even if they have funds and technology, there is no railway transportation for mining, so it is better to let foreigners build factories to drive the economy of the Chinese people along the way, and except for Japan, the banks of the four countries have no territorial ambitions for China.

Duan Qirui believed that allowing foreigners to occupy territory in China was a betrayal of the country, so Wang Duan's contradictions became deeper and deeper, and there was almost no peace in the War Department.
