Chapter 477: The Title of Monarch and Minister
9oo67983
Three cold winds blow from the north. Brass bells in the wind. The mules flying in and out of the city gate are endless, and the handlebar type drives these tools to make a living, day after day, year after year, in and out of the city gate hole in old Beijing, and the annual rings of the years not only carve deep ruts on the ground, but also leave the traces of the years on the faces of the handlebar types.
These groups at the bottom of the society have no conditions to pay attention to maintenance, many people in their forties look the same as in their seventies, but the posture of the car is not comparable to the people in their seventies, the hand is raised, the whip sounds, the mule and horse cart guess to turn forward, even if the wrong car in the city gate hole, it will never meet together, the old masters who are familiar with each other meet, and it is indispensable to say hello, so the city gate hole is lively. x interstitial s ad time
In the bustle of the gates, a troop of horsemen entered the city from outside the city, and drove aside the handlebar men and their mules and carts, apparently intending to clear the way.
Judging from the coats worn by those cavalrymen on their upper bodies, they are all soldiers of the old Yi Army, that is, the Yi Army that helped the Qing court to level the Twist Army. The earliest commander of this army was Song Qing, because Song Qing was given the title of "Yongyi Baturu" by the Qing court, so this army was also called "Yi Army". After Song Qing's death, Ma Yukun, the general of the Yi Army, took over the helm of the Yi Army, and the current commander of the Yi Army is the wilting Gui Title nicknamed "Jiang Lao Pot". Since Jiang Guidi is now the governor of Anhui, therefore, the Yi army under his command has actually become the provincial army of Anhui, and it is nominally under the command of the United Front, but in fact this army only obeys Jiang Guidi's orders, and this Yi army can be regarded as the evidence of the "remnants of the Huai Army" that the soldiers are generals, and the officers and soldiers do not know that there is a country, but only that there is an old commander.
Since from the beginning of the army, the main combat object of the Yi army is the highly mobile twist army, and the battle with the twist army is not possible if there is less cavalry. Therefore, the cavalry units in the Yi Army have always been very combative.1 When there are twist bandits, they fight the twist bandits, and there are no twist bandits to fight, so they will beat all the people who don't like it, and now, the handlebar style blocked in the hole in the city gate has become the people that the Yi army cavalry doesn't like.
As soon as the whip went, there was a blood mark on the handlebar head, although the cavalry had a strong country accent, and the handlebar style couldn't understand what they were scolding, but the other party's body language was already very revealing, so it was only a short time. The hole in the city gate was cleared and cleaned, and the people outside the city did not dare to enter the city, and the people in the city did not dare to go out of the city, waiting for the group of Yi army cavalry to enter the city.
There were originally sentinels standing by the city gate, and their duty was to maintain order, but the problem was that these sentries were adapted from the soldiers of the original infantry army commander of the barnyard gate, and it was no problem to toss the small merchants and hawkers, but once they encountered a ruthless character, they did not dare to squeak, and when they saw those resolute cavalry waving horsewhips and rushing into the city gate hole, these sentries dragged their rifles and fled to the side with their heads to see the excitement, where did they dare to interfere?
A few minutes later, hundreds of cavalry swarmed in, embracing a tall old general with a slight back, who walked through the Xibian Gate and galloped towards the city.
This posture is simply like a bandit, as if in the eyes of the pylorus, this capital is like a racecourse. You can gallop in the city casually, and you are fully armed, which is suspected of rebellion if it is left in the former Qing Dynasty.
"Who's that? So majestic. ”
"Who else could it be? Ginger old pot! Can it not be majestic? He is now the king of Anhui, and if he puts it aside, it will be a feudal town. Bah! They are also bullying our infantry yamen, if they run into the national defense force on duty, this crime of breaking into the sentry can not eat and walk around, maybe, he Jiang Laoguo was shot by the sentry on the spot
"Jiang Lao Pot Jiang Gui question? Isn't he in Aihui? How did you get to Kyori? Since you entered Beijing, you don't take a boat or a train, did you come all the way on horseback? ”
"Didn't he join the United Front? I heard that some "committee member" is coming to Beijing this time, probably to have a meeting, the United Front conference will be held tomorrow, he Jiang Lao Guo is so stuck in time, this shelf is also big, but I don't know if our current president will buy his account. ”
After the sentries guarding the city gate muttered a few words, they saw that the cavalry of the Yi Army who took over the city gate followed Jiang Laoshuai into the city, so they dragged their rifles back to the sentry post, and after shouting a few times, the traffic order of the Xibian Gate quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had been born, and those handlebars wiped the blood marks on their foreheads, and continued to rush forward and go to life. The sentinels over there muttered to each other, but Jiang Gui and Jiang Dudu here looked left and right on the horse, looking a little absent-minded.
In fact, the sentinels guessed well, this time in Beijing, Jiang Guidi came to attend the first party congress of the United Front, which was actually a party meeting. Jiang Guidi is now an "alternate general secretary" appointed by Zhao Bei, chairman of the United Front. One of the main topics on the agenda of this party meeting was the reorganization of the General Affairs Committee and the election of co-opted members, so as to make the United Front more united.
Originally, the central point meant to ask Jiang Guidi to go to Shanghai first, and then take a boat from there to rush to Beijing with representatives of Jiangsu, Fujian, and other provinces, but Jiang Guidi did not do it, not only did he not leave immediately, but he also did not plan to take a steamer. It was not until a few days ago, when the central center sent several telegrams in a row, that Jiang Guidi left Anhui with several hundred cavalry, rode northward on horseback, passed through Xuzhou and Jinan, and stayed in Tianjin for a day yesterday. I only came to Beijing on horseback today, and I plan to attend the meeting tomorrow, and this time is also very measured.
In fact, Jiang Guidi didn't want to hold any meeting in Beijing, but if he didn't come, he wouldn't be able to, he is now
A member of the office yearline. If he hadn't come to the party meeting of this united front, he wouldn't have been able to talk about it. Jiang Gui asked if he didn't think about quitting the United Front, but if he chose to quit, he would undoubtedly be telling the United Front and that President Zhao that he Jiang Laoguo wanted to "betray the alliance." "What will happen after the betrayal, no one dares to guarantee the vote, as a result, this Jiang Dudu is still very reluctant to come over to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this center.
In order to prevent the center from setting up any Hongmen banquet, follow the advice of the staff. Jiang Hang's question was also prepared. Not only did he entrust the Anhui territory to a few trusted cronies and relatives to take care of, but he also laid a lot of eyeliner in ambush along the way when he came over this way. As soon as there is a stir, Jiang Guidi can use these eyeliners to abscond in disguise, and if he can't return to Anhui, he will go to the concession, which is really not good, so he will simply stay abroad. Anyway, he Jiang Lao Guo would not be willing to make the fish on the chopping board.
But after entering Beijing City, Jiang Hang's question did not show any abnormal situation, and those who should be doing business are still doing business. Those who should be listening to the drama are still listening to the play, and even the guards at the city gate are not the descendants of the United Front, and the reason why the cavalry of the Yi Army wanted to make a big fuss in Xibianmen just now is not useless, Jiang Gui just wanted to test it and see how the guards in the capital were.
Since the center doesn't seem to be planning to put on any Hongmen banquet, Jiang Gui's hanging heart has finally relaxed a little, so that he is in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the capital.
In fact, there is nothing to admire, late autumn. The grass and trees are withering, so that it is different from Jiang Guidi's recent mood, and recently, this Jiang Dudu's mood is not very good.
Since the central government planned to "cut down the feudal domain", there has not been much calm in Anhui, especially the members of the provincial parliament, all of whom are jumping up and down, shouting "division of the military and the people", asking Jiang Gui to take the initiative to resign from the post of governor of Anhui and change to the post of overseer, and then to be in charge of military affairs.
In the face of this forced palace situation, how could Jiang Guidi's mood be better? What worries him even more is. After the "Guangdong Incident" subsided, the authority of the center was further established, and the prestige of the president of the Republic of China was further enhanced, which was very different from the situation of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang center "not leaving Gyeonggi by decree".
Therefore, after careful consideration, Jiang Guidi rejected the proposal of Xu Baoshan, the governor of the Soviet Union, to join forces against the central government, and finally decided to go north to the capital to attend the party meeting of the United Front.
As sensible as Jiang Guidi was Zhao Su, another general of the Yi Army, as the governor of Henan without any stable territory, Zhao Wei was more "active" than Jiang Guidi. "As early as half a month ago, Zhao Wei went to Beijing. On the surface, he was attending this party meeting of the United Front, but in fact he wanted to flatter the center. And by the way, he asked the center to come forward to support him and appoint him as the "Xuzhou Town Guard".
At the same time, the people who covet Xuzhou are Jiang Guidi and Xu Baoshan. But since Zhao Kui rushed to the front to lose his sincerity to the center, then Jiang Hangzhi accepted the advice of his staff and rationally withdrew from the battle for Xuzhou.
In that letter, Zhao Yi moved with affection, knew with reason, analyzed the interests and disadvantages, and spoke sincerely, of course Meigui was touched, after all, the person who knows the times is Junjie, Jiang Gui is also an old man, unlike Xu Baoshan's young Zhuang faction, there is still some hard work, and now Jiang Gui has no hard work, so many years of knife to gun. The power has gone up, but this hard work has come down, and now the Jiang family is already rich, even if they don't become officials, they don't have to worry about food, clothing, and housing for these few lifetimes.
In this state of mind, Jiang Guidi really didn't dare to bet, before the last "Guangdong Incident", the League would send someone to contact him, which meant that he was asked to respond in Anhui, and after the matter was completed, the League would push him as the vice president of the Republic of China. x interstitial s ad time
So. The "Guangdong Incident" ended so quickly, Jiang Hangdi was not surprised at all, he was just a little unconvinced, that President Zhao Da was only in his twenties, and he had such a good chance. The means are so clever, and the actions are so decisive. Jiang Gui's question is only strange if he can be convinced
。
But no matter how unconvinced, it can't be done, now that the title of the monarch and minister has been decided, the redistribution of interests is also underway. How many people are looking forward to patting the president's ass, and now at this time to challenge Zhao Bei's power. That's self-defeating, Jiang Gui is not stupid, he will not be used as a gunman, and the alliance will not be able to buy him. Xu Baoshan also can't buy him, his Jiang family will only be busy for their own interests, and now. His goal was to replace the status of this "alternate general affairs commissioner" with that of a "general affairs commissioner." Once he enters the power center of the United Front, then, regardless of whether he has real power or not, at least, the interests of his Jiang family are preserved, and he does not have to worry about others coveting his Wanguan family wealth.
People don't live in the world just for a "profit." Words.
Right now. Zhao Bei became the president of the Republic of China, although Jiang Guidi did not contribute much, but after all, he did not help Beiyang. How can I say it, he is also a minister from the dragon, and this king can't help but give some benefits to being a courtier, right?
Jiang Gui's requirements are not high, as long as he can maintain the current situation, he will be satisfied.
