Unification of the whole of China by force, this is the starting point of a country's self-reliance, and it is also the focus of Duan Qirui's politics, he thought that this kind of remarks that would not be wrong in any era would not be too much of a problem even if there were difficulties, but first Li Yuanhong, and then Feng Guozhang, after finally driving away these two roadblockers, persuaded the entire Beiyang to work together to sweep away the southwest rebellion, and finally captured Hunan. I really don't know what to prioritize. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If it weren't for the secret telegram sent by Zhang Jingyao, Lao Tzu wouldn't know that Cao San was a fool and a rebel in the southwest to negotiate peace without authorization, and there were signs that he had transferred troops back to Baoding in Zhili without authorization, wouldn't this be a clear intention to force the palace officials?" Duan Qirui slapped the table and shouted fiercely.

Xu Shuzheng said: "What the Prime Minister said is that these overseers are becoming more and more unreasonable. If you are a little unsatisfactory, you will strike the war and force the palace, and today you can ask the prime minister for the vice president, and tomorrow you will dare to ask for the president! The day after tomorrow, do you dare to abdicate and make way for Xian! Therefore, Shu Zheng thinks that this matter must not be used to them, and let them be so presumptuous! ”

Duan Qirui glanced at Xu Shuzheng and said: "Shu Zheng, what you said is very right, but after all, he Cao San laid down Hunan for Lao Tzu's birth and death, and dealt a heavy blow to the southwest rebellion, and I have a meritorious minister in Beiyang, and the position of vice president has been promised to Cao San, and he has not been given to him so far, so I really can't say it!" ”

"This vice president has already promised Cao San a fool, it's his, why won't he not give it to him, with the character of the prime minister, we can still lose him!"

Duan Qirui sighed and said: "They are not afraid that I Duan Qirui will lose him, but the front line has no eyes, and our Cao Sanye is afraid that if something happens, he can only be posthumously crowned vice president." ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "If he doesn't fight, will he be able to show off his position as vice president alive?" Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. ”

Duan Qirui said: "That's the way it is, you can't do it like this, Cao San is a well-known honest man in Beiyang, it's not good to be too entangled, and Cao San is now stationed in Baoding, and the overseer is directly subordinate, if he has a trouble, it will really make the world see the joke." ”

"Don't mind, adults!" Xu Shuzheng said disapprehantly: "Cao San went south to Central China, and there were already a lot of casualties in the three attacks on Hunan, especially in the battle of Gaoyou, and the ace of Cao San's hand, the Beiyang Third Division, suffered heavy casualties!" With all the existing forces in him, if he dares to provoke, it is really a praying mantis blocking the car, and he can't do it! ”

Duan Qirui sighed and said: "To pacify Hunan and curb the southwest, Cao San still made great efforts, I dare to say that there is no overseer in the world who can work for me at the expense of blood like Cao San, even you politicians of the Anfu system who are loyal to the so-called prime minister, I am afraid that the warlords of the Anhui system will not be able to do it!" ”

Xu Shuzheng thought for a while and said, "Shuzheng can!" ”

Duan Qirui said sadly: "Only you Xu Shuzheng in the world can do this for me Duan Qirui!" ”

"The adult has the grace of knowing Shu Zheng, and it is difficult for Shu Zheng to repay the kindness of the adult!" Xu Shuzheng said.

Duan Qirui said: "It is even more difficult to see Cao Sanzhi's simplicity, so give him the power of the vice president!" If you don't give it to him, and don't say that he is making trouble, even the people in Beiyang will also say that we are not, give it to him, he will not work, it is his fault over there, and then he will be pulled down. ”

"What my lord means, I understand my humble position, I'll go now!"

……

"Why did you come here, President, you are really a rare guest!" Liang Chunxiang, a member of the National Assembly who was originally just born in Tuxiucai, heard the news from the concierge that President Xu Shichang asked to see him, and he was so overjoyed that he didn't even put on his slippers, so he came out to greet him.

Xu Shichang was dressed in a long shirt and casual clothes, walking slowly, and he couldn't cover the fairy wind bones, which caused the female and male relatives in the house to be shocked, Liang Chunxiang couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when he saw his family like this, and said: "The characters in a small place have no knowledge, I hope the president won't be weird!" ”

Xu Shichang said indifferently: "Shichang is also from a small place, when he first came to Beijing to take the exam, he saw the frame honor guard of the military department member Wailang, and he was very envious, thinking that being an official should be so majestic. Now Shichang is in the ninth fold, looking at this vast number of living beings, among the 40,000 people, only these twenty-four people can be these twenty-four people in a year, and then I see this soldier Wailang, so it seems that this official position is really not small. Do you know the smell of this, brother? ”

Liang Chunxiang thought for a while and said: "The meaning of the president's words is understandable, you let me not underestimate the position of the congressman!" ”

"The children can be taught!" Xu Shichang said with satisfaction: "Now that the Republic of China is over, everything is dominated by the Congress, what vice president, what Prime Minister Duan, always have to be approved by the Congress, now that the war between the north and the south has just subsided, it is a good time to negotiate peace, the position of the vice president has no real power, but the reputation is very high, it should be reserved for those people in the southwest, in order to show the sincerity of our central government!" ”

"But what Premier Duan meant ......"

"Anfu Department and Premier Duan share honor and disgrace, naturally you can do what Premier Duan means, brother, you just need to do it according to your wishes!"

"The Great President means ......"

Xu Shichang said lightly: "The reunification of force is the trend of the times, but it cannot be done overnight, even if the southwest is leveled, the central government must set aside a few valuable positions to appease the people, not to mention that the central government is not enough to use force to make the south succumb, stop and stop, although the central real power can not be given to them, but the idle lord still has to stay, if the congressman does not even understand this reason, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed and generous." ”

"What the adult means, the villain understands, and will do what the adult wants!" Liang Chunxiang said.

Xu Shichang said: "You can think like this, you will be a member of Congress for a long time!" ”

Leaving Liang Chunxiang's house, Xu Shichang turned around and went to Liang Shiyi's house in the Department of Transportation, Liang Shiyi saw Xu Shichang's private interview, thought for a while, and then tidied up his clothes, greeted Xu Shichang with a smile on his face, and said: "President, you are here, Liang Shiyi is looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and generally looking forward to you coming." ”

Xu Shichang smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you are serious, who doesn't know that you are the living Bodhisattva of our Beijing City." ”

Liang Shiyi smiled aggrievedly and said: "Old Xiangguo, you don't know, Shi Yi is wronged, what kind of person is President Yuan, he wants to be the emperor, how dare my brother disobey?" How did the errand work become the culprit of Hong Xian, who everyone shouted and beaten? Shi Yi is really more wronged than that Dou E, and hopes that the president will do a thing or two for Shi Yi. ”

Xu Shichang said: "The Qing Emperor gave way, the state affairs were chaotic, President Yuan Da chose to be the emperor for the country, you chose to persuade for the country, if you become the number one hero of the wife's shadow, if it doesn't work, it's just a little wronged, I really don't know how to complain, but don't worry, brother, you are wronged for the country, Shichang still knows, you can rest assured, after the brother goes back, he will inevitably take the hat of the scourge off your head brother!" ”

Liang Shiyi was overjoyed and said: "If the old Xiangguo does this, Shiyi will not be able to repay your kindness even if he is a cow and a horse!" ”

Xu Shichang said: "When President Yuan was alive, the elder brother was the meritorious minister of our Beiyang, and now Beiyang is in charge, and the elder brother is aggrieved for the president, and the brother is within his duty to speak for the elder brother. ”

Liang Shiyi said: "The old Xiangguo is not here just to take off his hat for his brother!" ”

Xu Shichang said: "The elder brother is a person who understands, Shichang won't say much, Premier Duan Qirui is arrogant and arrogant, and wants to give the position of vice president to Cao Kun, the overseer of Zhili, as a favor, Shichang feels that he can't do this, so he begs his brother to help Shichang a little favor!" ”

Liang Shiyi pondered for a moment and said: "I understand what Lao Xiangguo meant, what Premier Duan and his Anfu Department did, my brother still knows, he really thinks that without President Yuan, no one will control him, so he dares to treat the heroes of the world as nothing, and he doesn't care about the Beiyang lineage, which is really hateful!" Old Xiangguo, don't worry, my brother has done it for you! ”

……

Faced with the situation of Cao Kun asking for the vice president, Duan Qirui sent a telegram to appease him on the one hand, and sent Xu Shuzheng to instruct the Anfu Congress to hold a meeting to recommend it.

Don't look at the Anfu faction in the parliament, but other factions in the parliament injected into the transportation department, the research department, etc., under the mediation of Xu Shichang, more than 100 members of the parliament formed a joint force, on the grounds that the vice president was waiting for the leader of the south, opposed the election of Cao Kun as vice president, and refused to attend the congressional recommendation meeting. As a result, after a lot of tossing and turning for three or four days, the meeting finally ended due to the lack of quorum.

For this result, Xu Shichang was secretly complacent, Xu Shuzheng gloated, but Duan Qirui was very troubled. Cao Kun's dream of vice president was shattered. When the news reached Baoding, Cao Kun was furious, smashed the tea vases in the light garden where he was located one by one, and even found Wu Peifu and shouted: "Xu Shuzheng is too deceitful, take our guys as stupid boys, this breath Lao Tzu can't swallow, Ziyu, you came just right, hurry up and pack up the people, go to Beijing with Lao Tzu, and find Xu Shuzheng to settle accounts!" ”

Wu Peifu glanced at Cao Kun, who was thunderous, and said, "Third Master, what you said is angry, do you still want to be serious?" If it's angry, it's good to talk about smashing, if it's serious, you have to wait a few days, and after our army returns to Zhili from all over Hunan, we will think about it in the long run! ”

Cao Kun said angrily: "I, Cao Kun, took my brother to die on his birth day, he was so perfunctory to Lao Tzu, so that Lao Tzu became a laughing stock in the eyes of the world's overseers, since he made Cao Sanye unhappy, Cao Sanye made him feel bad, Ziyu, I really can't swallow this breath in this matter, whether this thing can be done or not is Lao Tzu angry or true, it depends on whether you Wu Peifu want to do it, if you want to do it, Lao Tzu will give up this life and ask for justice from those bastards in Beijing, if you think it can't be done, pull the road, It's better to be the third master who is drunk and crazy. ”

Wu Peifu said: "Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng is making fun of the third master, how can I, Wu Peifu, sit idly by?" This matter was done by the brothers and the third master, but now our combat power is strong but the troops are weak, and we are afraid that there is not much chance of winning if we fight alone with the Anhui family, and I hope that the third master will be a little restless, Ziyu will send someone to Chang Zhenbang and Zhang Zuolin to ask for troops, and the three of us will work together Duan Qirui is great ability to be finished! ”

Cao Kun said: "Everything is done according to Ziyu's wishes, but Chang Zhenbang, where we just had a bad relationship, you just find a competent person to go, don't go by yourself!" ”

Wu Peifu said: "The third master can rest assured, Ziyu's fate is to follow the third master to fight the world, but he won't explain it casually!" ”

Cao Kun saw that he was sincere, so he put his mind at ease and said: "You can rest assured that the third master is doing things, what should be given and what should not be given, you know better than the third master, if anyone underestimates you Wu Ziyu, Lao Tzu will not agree, go!" ”

After Wu Peifu saluted and withdrew, he immediately sent a telegram to Fengtian and Guangzhou, inviting Chang Zhenbang and Zhang Zuolin to Tianjin to discuss state affairs, and at the same time, with lightning speed, he transferred his troops back from the front line one by one, and sent a special person to inform Sun Chuanfang on the way, and after Sun Chuanfang agreed to fight against the Anhui system, the two went to Tianjin together.
