Liang Qichao entered Xia Jun's office, Xia Jun entertained him in the office, and let people serve tea, Xia Jun asked Liang Qichao knowingly: "I don't know what advice Ren Gong has?" ”

It's an opening statement!

Xia Jun knew Liang Qichao's intentions, but he pretended not to know. Liang Qichao can be said to be the most active thinker in recent times, but his ideas Xia Jun is not fully accepted.

He has a mind of his own, and it is a thought that is born in conjunction with the history of the future.

"The general can know that now that China has no leader, someone urgently needs to stand up and take over as president to stabilize the situation." Liang Qichao said to Xia Jun, which can be regarded as an opening statement, and the next thing is the time to see the moves, and the time to see the stitches.

After listening to Liang Qichao's words, Xia Jun laughed and said, "It's good that the dragons have no leader!" The dragons without a leader in the hexagram of "Zhou Yi" mean that they do not fight for merit and are humble to each other, which is a good hexagram! How can Ren Gong say that someone urgently needs to stand up! Isn't it nice now, too? ”

"......" Liang Qichao was choked suddenly, Xia Jun obviously knew what he wanted to express, but he quoted the meaning of the text again, and there was evidence to support.

Xia Jun is not in a hurry at all, East China's political axe is self-contained, even if he doesn't have a president, the whole society can still operate normally.

Therefore, the initiative is in Xia Jun's hands, he can officially express his position whenever he wants, and the Mingzhuo faction is helpless against him.

However, Liang Qichao quickly adjusted his mentality, and said with a smile: "What the general said is extremely true, the current Chinese dragons are rising together, and it is indeed a good thing to rise up without fighting. ”

Then Liang Qichao changed his words and said: "But a country must need a capable and prestigious leader to suppress the dragons, right?" ”

Xia Jun was not fooled, and said: "Before, President Li Da could also deter the dragons, and it is okay to ask President Li Da to withdraw the order for the disintegration of Beiyang." ”

The general's words are wrong, President Lebanon was able to stabilize the current situation, all thanks to the general's merits, and in fact, the general ruled the world, so the situation was stable. The Beiyang controlled by President Ran Li is just an empty shell, and the real central China is actually the axe of the East China United Autonomous Government. Liang Qichao shook his head and said, Xia Jun smiled and didn't speak.

Liang Qichao continued: "Therefore, President Li Da is destined to be the president of the near future, now looking around China, can deter the dragons, there is only one general, the general is only civil, martial arts are no one to compare, throughout the general since the Xinhai years, the restraint of officials, strong military, hard work under the rule of the current China, the general's merits are immeasurable, who can be compared today? ”

This top hat is ...... It's really comfortable to listen to, but Xia Jun just smiled, and he also knew that it was just a top hat.

"The country cannot be said to be ownerless, and the snake cannot be without a head, the general should consider the 40,000,000 people, and follow the will of the people to ascend to the presidency." Liang Qichao paid attention to his words at this time, and no longer said that the dragons had no leader, but said that the country could not be said to be ownerless, but he deliberately did not say that 'the country cannot be said to be without a king'.

"Huh! When Ren Gong talks about public opinion, can you know what the current public opinion is? Xia Jun keenly grasped Liang Qichao's speech again, and without waiting for Liang Qichao to answer, Xia Jun opened the window and said, "Ren Gong can take a look at the following situation." ”

"This ......" Liang Qichao walked to the window and looked down, only to see a group of people sitting down and petitioning under the administrative building.

Several people held up banners and wrote: "Please follow the will of the NPC and ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as to calm the panic of the people." ”

Others held up the long scroll, and the long scroll was densely packed with small characters, and because it was too far away to see clearly, Liang Qichao didn't know what was written on it.

"This is the representative of the people's will in the provinces and localities, and now the public opinion does not support the continuation of the presidential system." Xia Jun said indifferently that Liang Qichao is naturally clear about the changes in public opinion, and knows that there is no advantage in continuing to talk about public opinion, so Liang Qichao said: "What the general said is reasonable, the presidential system is indeed not as good as the republican system." ”

"Yes, yes, the republic is indeed much better than the presidential system, but now the public opinion does not support the republican system, does Ren Gong go to advise? If public opinion changes, I should run for the first assistant to the Cabinet. Xia Jun said to Liang Qichao, Liang Qichao listened to it, and thought that Xia Jun really intended to do this, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not like that, as if he was playing ball.

However, Xia Jun had already said this, and Liang Qichao was no longer interested in talking about it, so he immediately nodded and said, "That's okay." ”

Xia Jun nodded, picked up the phone and called You Zhengbin, asking him to bring a few public representatives up, Xia Jun said: "And bring a few public representatives to debate with Ren Gong." ”

You Zhengbin understood on the phone, debate! There is also a strong argument, which means that he should choose a few representatives of public opinion with a firm position to come up, and don't let Liang Qichao's mouth fool him.

"Ren Gong, please." Xia Jun made a gesture of invitation to Liang Qichao, Liang Qichao nodded, the two walked out of the office, Xia Jun said to Liang Qichao: "Just let the public go, I still have some official business to deal with." ”

Xia Jun also rushed to preside over the budget meeting, and he had already talked about the integration and dismissal of the Beiyang Army, but this thing just had to cost money.

Besides, he didn't want to get involved in the next debate, and when Xia Jun wasn't there anyway, he didn't need to mediate if he encountered any embarrassing things.

If Liang Qichao said that he couldn't move, then Xia Jun didn't care, if he really let him say that he was moved with that three-inch incorruptible tongue, then there was still a group outside!

The wheel war killed him.

…… On the issue of the incorporation of the Beiyang Army, the Beiyang Military and the East China Political Axe soon reached a consensus of opinion.

In terms of the treatment of high-level personnel, Duan Qirui was hired by the East China Political Axe as a national policy adviser and China's vice minister of national defense, and was in charge of national defense projects, which was actually a fictitious position. How to do the national defense project or how to do it, if you don't pass the inspection, you have to ask someone, Duan Qirui can't mess around in front of him, and Duan Qirui is not greedy for money, which is an advantage.

Feng Guozhang hung up the post of a member of the parliament, so he took 3 million yuan to go home to retire, anyway, he usually likes to stay at home and stay at home, and he can go to the parliament to participate in the resolution when he is idle.

Cao Kun was appointed governor of Hebei Province, a position of real power, and he was promoted according to his ability.

Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang were both appointed division commanders, and the specific military region to which they were transferred will be discussed, but it is only the establishment of a division.

As for the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army below, the officers were evaluated and incorporated according to their abilities, and those moths were sent home.

Most of the ordinary soldiers will be eliminated and only 150,000 troops will be recruited, and the remaining 550,000 will be dismissed.

The severance pay for ordinary soldiers is not less than 150 yuan, which is equivalent to more than three years' military salary, and even more if the military salary is deducted, even five or six years.

Of course, the dismissal of these soldiers will also cause some social problems, so they can be gradually dismissed, and Huadong Zhengax will provide them with training to arrange them for employment.

As long as the employment problem of these demobilized soldiers is solved, then the social problem will not exist.

In terms of the budget for severance, Zhu Xiaocheng, who was transferred to Beiyang Political Axe Contact, said: "The issue of severance expenses for ordinary soldiers is Duan Qirui's personal request, and it should not be less than 150 yuan per person. ”

"This Duan Qirui himself is not greedy for money, but he thinks about the soldiers below!" Xia Jun couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and Chen Xuanyu said with a smile: "He knows that we have a lot of money." ”

Of course, Duan Qirui knew that East China had a lot of money, so he could naturally shout loudly in terms of severance expenses, so that he could give an explanation to the officers and soldiers below.

"According to this severance price, we need to spend 82.5 million yuan to dismiss these 550,000 Beiyang soldiers, this ...... This, if you add some other miscellaneous expenses, it will cost at least 15 million Fuxing coins, this is still an ordinary soldier, plus the severance pay of those officers is even greater......" Liu Wenhong said a little depressed, this number is also too big!

Xia Jun thought for a while and said, "Just give it!" It is better than being incorporated into the army, and the cost should be kept below 100 million yuan as much as possible. ”

To dismiss such a large army, it is already good to spend 100 million to take it down.

100 million yuan is nothing for the current East China political axe, isn't it money! Anyway, it's not the money that is lost abroad, as long as the money is still in the country, it doesn't matter.

"That's just as well." Chen Xuanyu nodded and said: "Although there are many good troops in the Beiyang Army, most of them are contaminated with a bad style, and it is difficult to change, so it is better to be dismissed." ”

As for the specific training and employment arrangements, it is left to the administrative side.

"Okay!" Liu Wenhong nodded, and the severance budget was decided, spending 100 million Fuxing coins to dismiss the 500,000 soldiers and unqualified officers of the Beiyang Army.

Next, the meeting discussed the issue of funding for the integration of the Beiyang Army, and the soldiers of the Beiyang Army will be mainly arranged into those divisions that have been established for a long time, so that these soldiers of the Beiyang Army will not be able to form a single piece and will soon be integrated into the East China Army.

Funds are calculated according to the normal method of army expansion, and now the East China Army is constantly expanding its army, mainly for the purpose of cultivating reserves.

Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang will first be sent to study at the East China Military University, and then they will be given a Class A infantry division; as for which military region they will be assigned to, it will obviously not be the Southern Military Region, but perhaps a North China Military Region or a Northwest Military Region.

Whether they can come out depends on their own abilities and opportunities! There will definitely be a battle to be fought in the Northern Military Region, and as for what kind of battle it can become, it depends on one's own ability.

As for those Beiyang officers, a large number of them will be sent to the advanced training class of the East China Military University, and when the time comes, they will have to conduct an evaluation of their ability, and what position they can do will depend on the results of the evaluation.

…… The news that the Beiyang Army was going to be incorporated soon spread to the entire Beiyang Army, and the specific conditions for the dismissal given by the East China Political Axe have not yet been announced, but some of them have also been announced, that is, there is still a job allocation, although it may not be a very good job.

For ordinary soldiers, having a job assignment is already acceptable.

Now everyone can see that the future fate of the Beiyang Army will either be absorbed or defeated by the East China Army, and the Beiyang Army and the East China Army have clashed and cooperated.

The strength shown by the East China Army, saying that it can defeat the East China Army is either a fool or a fool who treats others as fools.

It is naturally best to be co-opted and dismissed.

Generally speaking, the Beiyang Army has no opinion, and now that the Beiyang political axe has been disintegrated, I don't know where to ask for military salaries, and I am simply a child without a mother.

The East China Army and the Beiyang Army quickly set up a joint working group, and the main purpose of the joint working group was to verify the number of troops in the Beiyang Army, and at the same time to screen these soldiers, and to distinguish as soon as possible which should be incorporated and which should be disbanded.
