Chapter 578: Jiangbei Conference

After Wang Yongan returned to Yangzhou safely, Zhang Jian immediately convened the Jiangbei Administrative Conference, first of all, Zhang Jian supported the merger of Jiangbei and Beiyang, and everyone who was doing it also supported the reunification of the country, but they demanded that the interests of the Jiangbei group must be guaranteed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info then Wang Yongan proposed that the future cabinet should set up 12 ministries and 4 general bureaus, and he has secretly divided four of the twelve ministries with Yuan Shikai, while Beiyang occupies five ministries and the southern government occupies three ministries.

The four ministries occupied by the Jiangbei Group are the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Jiangbei Group also has the right to set up the Religious Affairs Bureau and the General Audit Bureau, which means that in the future cabinet, the Jiangbei Group will play a decisive role. First of all, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is a real department with real power, it can be said that all taxes and commercial activities throughout the country are formulated by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and all the actions of foreign banks in China are also inseparable from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and even the Ministry of Industry and Commerce can formulate a sanction plan to investigate and restrict the products of various countries. In short, getting the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is equivalent to getting a money rake, although the money caught will eventually be handed over to the Ministry of Finance of the Beiyang Department, but the Ministry of Industry and Commerce can take the opportunity to leave some, who let the General Audit Administration in the hands of the Jiangbei Group.

"This General Audit Office is in our hands, which saves a lot of trouble." Wei Wenkang laughed and said, "In the future, if we judge ourselves by ourselves, will they feel very suffocated?" ā€

Chen Zhaotang couldn't help but laugh and said: "What makes them even more angry is that the Ministry of Justice is also in our hands." ā€

The officials of Jiangbei laughed in unison, although this is a joke, but it can be seen that the Jiangbei department will definitely be able to call for wind and rain in the government in the future. After a day of discussion, everyone recommended Zhang Jian as the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Xu Dinglin as the Vice Minister of Industry and Commerce, Chen Zhaotang as the Minister of Justice, Qi Gu as the Vice Minister of Justice, Shen Yunpei as the Minister of Communications, Gu Yanqing as the Vice Minister of Communications, Xiao Xiangshan as the Minister of Health, An Yinlin as the Vice Minister of Health, Wei Wenkang as the Director of the General Audit Bureau, Hou Gan as the Deputy Director of the General Audit Bureau, and Gu Hedan as the Director of the State Administration of Religion. Shan Qipeng served as the deputy director of the General Administration of Religious Affairs, and Houlin, Luo Sen, Wang Ancheng and others held important positions in various ministries, so that the Jiangbei Group would completely control the six ministries.

And next, the people of Jiangbei are about to make preparations for the neighborhood, Zhang Jian recommended Wang Ancheng to go to Beijing immediately, take advantage of the panic in Beijing at this time to buy some houses, and when everyone goes to Beijing to be an official in the future, there will be no place to live.

Gu Yanqing immediately reminded: "It is not yet known where the capital of China will be in the future, whether the southern government supports the capital of the north?" ā€

Wang Yongan said with a smile: "That's up to them, the future capital must be in the north, Chinese feng shui pays attention to sitting in the north and facing the south, sitting in the south and facing the north, you see, don't talk about the house in the north, our house in the south is also facing the south and facing the north, and the closer the national capital is to the north, the better." ā€

Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "This is a superstitious statement, but it is not unreasonable, but the southern government must strongly demand that the capital be Nanjing." ā€

"The dynasty that set the capital of Nanjing is only a few decades at most." Hou Gan suddenly said, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wang Yongan waved his hand and said: "At this time, we Jiangbei are not short of this money, first buy everyone's house, and then we will give everyone enough resettlement fees." Everyone remembers, the Jiangbei system is a whole, and you can't betray your own people at any time, but whenever Governor Zhang or I convene you to decide something, you must give your full support not to be absent, if you are absent from the meeting, let your son attend on your behalf, if you don't say anything but don't attend, it means that someone has betrayed the Jiangbei department. ā€

Everyone's faces became serious, for this faction that is linked by nostalgia and interests, betrayal is a very terrible thing, and it will lead to the collapse of the entire Jiangbei system.

"What is the definition of a meeting?" Xiao Xiangshan was a little more cautious and asked, "In Jingshi, if a faction like ours holds a meeting, it will definitely be monitored, and even make Yuan Shikai uneasy. ā€

Wang Yongan then smiled and said: "I have an idea, everyone collectively funded the construction of the Longhai Railway, so that we support the Minister of Communications Shen Yunpei Shen, in the future, our private gatherings can also be held in the name of the Longhai Railway Board of Directors meeting, Beiyang has nothing to say, we can't stop us railway directors, right?" ā€

Everyone nodded.

Wang Yongan then added: "We can even use the method of attracting new shareholders to join the shares, gradually divide and win over other important figures, strengthen our faction, and eventually we can control the government." ā€

"Okay."

"It's a very good idea."

"The stronger the Jiangbei system, the better."

After the meeting, Wang Yongan immediately presided over a military meeting of the Jiangbei Army, inquired about the disarmament plan, and began to discuss the reorganization of the Jiangbei Ninth Brigade into four infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht in Beiyang Army Town.

Feng Heng replied that the disarmament was going smoothly, and in order to save money, Li Yao let most of the retrenched soldiers go to St. Lucas, and this kid is still creating rumors about St. Lucas's Golden Mountain, not only did the retrenched soldiers go to St. Lucas, but even many people in Jiangbei went to St. Lucas to beg for a living.

"Li Yao's heart can be punished, and he is very lacking in morality." Fang Xianwu couldn't help but say on the side.

Li Yao feigned anger: "You white-eyed wolves, the trouble is yours, the trouble is mine, and you still scold me after solving the trouble, you really have no conscience, white-eyed wolf." ā€

Wang Yongan and others laughed, and then discussed the reorganization of the Jiangbei Army into an army division of the National Defense Army. Japan has placed heavy troops on the Korean Peninsula, and it is obvious that it wants to swallow Northeast China in one go, and as a Chinese soldier, even if the battle at home is in full swing, he can never watch the country lose an inch of its country. Therefore, under the pressure of the Japanese army, the officers and men of the Jiangbei Army realized that it was imperative to merge with the Beiyang Army, and they had no objection to this.

Wang Yongan said: "The first town of the Beiyang Army will be reorganized into the first division of the National Defense Army, and so on, the six main towns will be reorganized into the first to sixth divisions of the National Defense Army, while our Jiangbei Army will have the number and establishment of the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth divisions of the National Defense Army, and the total number of troops in each infantry division of the National Defense Army is 22,000 people, so we must also disarm." ā€

"If we can't disarm, we will take too big a step forward in disarmament, and now there are very few 100,000 Jiangbei troops." Feng Heng immediately objected.

Wang Yongan smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, but there will be no Jiangbei Army in the future, only the National Defense Army." ā€

The people had no choice but to accept the fact that disarmament would continue, and then everyone's attention was focused on the selection of the commanders of the four divisions of the Wehrmacht in the future, who would be able to hold the real power, and who would be able to enter the military headquarters.
