Since the funeral of Yuan Weiting was completed, the Duan Mansion in the Iron Lion Hutong in the capital has become the No. 1 lively place in the capital at present. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough Li Huangpo is the president, he has no power, no courage, no soldiers and no generals, and not many people listen to what he says. Of course, it cannot be tolerated in Beiyang, nor can it be tolerated in the Southwest Military Affairs Academy.

Although Liang Rengong and others once vigorously advocated the preservation of the Old Testament Law, the purpose was to protect the Provisional Covenant Law and restore the old Congress, not to protect Li Huangpo. Wuchang Shouyi, Li was elected as the governor of the capital, which was originally an expedient measure, and he represented the power of organizations such as the Guangfuhui Literary Society, and was not in the same camp as the Xingzhong Society.

When the republic was first established, Li Huangpo united with Yuan Weiting to murder Zhang Zhenwu, one of the three martial arts of the uprising, and had a great disagreement with the Xingzhong Society and the old robe. Although at the moment, there is a cadre of fellow Hubei villagers who support him, but most of them are Qing Tan literati and do not have many troops. The only armed force at its disposal is the unreliable Presidential Guard.

Duan Zhiquan, the tiger of the Beiyang, is not only the general secretary of state affairs, but also the chief of the army, and has the support of a large number of Anhui generals, and has an extremely outstanding military force in his hands.

Although the republican system has now been restored, the common people have seen that the so-called republican is nothing more than military cooperation, and the military has the right. The president has no soldiers, but there are soldiers in the general department, so naturally the general department is stronger than the president. Don't you see, the secretary of the general department can unscrupulously break into the president's bedroom and shake the president awake and seal it? The strength and weakness are so obvious, who is for whom and against whom, and it is still used to consider?

Gonghe has always had no shortage of fighters with a firm stance, and when these fighters choose Duan Zhiquan as their attachment object, they will naturally spare no effort to express their loyalty to Zongli. The means of expression are naturally inseparable from greetings in the morning and evening, nothing is courteous, there is something to help, and more than a dozen tables of banquets are arranged in the mansion every day.

Duan's secretary is Xu Youzheng, who is known as the soul, and he is also a good social, but Duan Zhiquan is the general secretary, so he has to look like a corporal of politeness, otherwise how can he win people's hearts. Therefore, every day you have to entertain these guests in person, and the body goes to the banquet and the work, and the work can only be left to the soul. It was a telegram from Zhang Yuan who gave Xuzhou and his title to Zhao Guanhou, which was placed in front of Xu Youzheng at this time.

When the telegram arrived, Xu Youzheng was answering the phone call from Minister Capet, only making a gesture, holding the telegram in his hand, tilting his head to hold the receiver, talking to Kangdi, holding a pen in his hand, correcting another urgent official business. Single-minded, not embarrassed, when he put down the phone, Xu Youzheng slapped the table

"It just doesn't make sense! I thought that Zhang Shaoxun lived in the Jin Dynasty, but I didn't expect him to live in the late Han Dynasty. This land official position is a public instrument of the state, when will it be his turn to make his own decisions? If this is not about unity, do you still want a law? This request must not be approved, and since he resigned, he immediately dismissed Zhang Yuan from all his posts. At the same time, he ordered Wan Yingshi, the former staff officer, to temporarily maintain public order in Xuzhou, take the post of Yangtze River patrol envoy, and send another person. ”

As he spoke, he ordered the secretary of the Zongli Mansion to transcribe it, and when the order was written, Duan Zhiquan was still entertaining in front, Xu Youzheng simply took the order himself, went straight to the printing room to seal it, and then got into the carriage and went straight to the presidential mansion.

Li Bodhisattva is famous for seeing Xu Zhiquan, if he sees Duan Zhiquan, he can still talk a few words, but when he sees Xu Youzheng, his face turns pale, and his forehead can't help sweating. Previously, his secretary-general, Zhang Guojin, clashed with Xu Youzheng, and the result was that both parties were dismissed at the same time. But soon Xu Youzheng was reinstated, but Zhang Guojin was still idle, and the victory or defeat was self-evident. This evil god walked in so angrily, Li Huangpo couldn't help but be frightened.

The official document was casually thrown on the table by Xu Youzheng, and then said coldly: "President, please seal it." ”

"This ...... What kind of document is this? ”

"The general has already been stamped, and the president doesn't need to ask more. I'm so busy with things that I don't have time to explain anything to you. Now that it is a responsible cabinet system, the president has agreed, what else does the president need to ask? I'm busy, and if I have to explain everything to the president in detail, then how can I still be busy? ”

When Li Huangpo took out the big seal, Xu Youzheng shouted again: "Stamp!" Sealed! Move a little faster......"

Until he left, Li Huangpo's face was still cloudy, and he slapped the table violently, "Little fan, sooner or later, one day, I want your head!" ”

Duan Zhiquan came to the office after a round of entertainment, found Xu Youzheng and asked: "I heard that Zhang Da Braid is nervous again, and he sings well to let Xuzhou, this eighty percent is listening to the drama too much." In this way, you draft a telegram to him, and you must keep him in Xuzhou, and you must not make claims without permission. Let's send a representative in Xuzhou to do his job well, Shao Xuan has any difficulties, just mention it, I will try to help him solve it, how can you just leave? ”

"Zhiweng, I have sent a telegram, and I will remove all the posts of Zhang Yuan, and send another cadre to take over."

Duan Zhiquan was taken aback and said, "When did it go down, why don't I know?" Without my signature, how dare you ......" But he remembered that his name and seal were all in Xu Youzheng's hands, and it was too easy to send a telegram in his own name.

Xu Youzheng was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Zhiweng, don't be too impulsive, listen to me after I finish speaking." We know that this person is a half-assed person who can do anything bastard. Our envoy is in Xuzhou, and he can't stop him, so what is the power of a telegram. Maybe at this time, he has already gotten on the train and left Xuzhou, and it makes no sense for us to send this telegram. Now instead of keeping Shaoxuan, it is better to consider the Xuzhou issue to be useful. Let me ask Zhi Weng first, what do you mean, Xuzhou really wants to give the surname Zhao? ”

Duan Zhiquan shook his head and said, "This is impossible!" He asked for a chief of transportation, two general managers of banks, and then took Xuzhou over, simply, wouldn't it be better for him to do this general manager? ”

The Duan system is different from the miserable appearance of the Li family, and there are many households, such as Wang Yitang, who is capable of engaging in the dang faction, Zeng Yilang in Fujian, Wang Yinquan in Henan, etc., or is interested in the transportation for a long time, or has always wanted to be the God of Wealth. What's more important is that the two lines are in the hands of the Zhao family, and it is extremely inconvenient for the Duan Department to use the money.

And in this paragraph, there are more like regular guests than like soldiers, and regular guests have no money, which means that the main general has no soldiers. The tiger talisman is held in the hands of others, and it is natural for the generals to eat unsweetly, and the dissatisfaction with Zhao Guanhou has already reached the extreme.

But the problem is that the Lu army has heavy troops in hand, and Duan Zhiquan does not have the courage to face the conflict with the Lu army. The important land of Gyeonggi is in the hands of Cao Zhongkun's troops. Throwing rat bogey, Duan Zhiquan's anger was limited to the public mansion.

Xu Youzheng said with a smile: "That's it, in the past few months, reckless tickets have been flooding Gyeonggi. Although the resumption of business of the two banks is imminent, judging from the list of managers of the two banks, the future Gonghe and the two transportation banks are actually just puppets controlled by the Lu army. The Ministry of Communications controls the national railways and shipping routes, and Meng Siyuan himself has a serious southern brand. In my opinion, although Zhao Guanhou single-handedly created the provincial federation, it may not be reliable to say that he is from our Beiyang. His relationship with the Military Affairs Yuan in the south is not necessarily shallow. This Xuzhou can't be given to him. ”

"Land and positions are national titles, and they need to be granted by the government, so how can they be granted privately. If Zhiwen sets this precedent, it is equivalent to recognizing the right of the provincial overseers to give their own land official titles, and the world will become a situation where the princes of the Three Kingdoms and the late Tang Dynasty are divided. Compared with the Hongxian Empire, it is even worse. ”

Zeng Yilang, a Fujian native, had long been worried about the position of the chief of transportation, and he didn't want to be robbed by Meng Siyuan, so he hated Zhao Guanhou to the core. Now I also come to help the cavity of the little fan and block the Xuzhou issue.

Duan Zhiquan shook his head and said:

"The problem is that most of the Lu army has actually occupied Xuzhou, even if Xuzhou is not given to him, he has to think of a safe way, and he can't adopt a tough confrontation method. If you send someone else to take over, who will dare to take this appointment? Isn't it the same as sending people to death? Besides, our troops are not dominant now, if Zhao Guanhou takes the opportunity to turn his face......"

"No, it won't. Besides, the war has just ended, and people are at peace, if he makes trouble now, it will be tantamount to directly confronting the government and sabotaging the temporary transgression of the law, and he can't afford this charge. Of course, we can't expect to expel him from Xuzhou with a single telegram. This message is a means, not an end. The one in the Imperial City Division Hutong will be the fate of the egg sooner or later, but who will form a cabinet next, this is a university question. ”

Although the president is only a stamping machine, he always needs to use a satisfactory machine to be satisfied. Duan Zhiquan and Li Huangpo were not at eye to eye in the first place, and the relationship between Xu Youzheng led to a great contradiction between the government and the court, and it was a foregone conclusion to drive Li away. However, the current situation does not allow anyone to hold the two posts of president of the general department, according to Duan Zhiquan's idea, he squeezes out Li Bodhisattva and replaces him, and as for the cabinet general and even the entire cabinet, it should also be composed of the Anhui family.

But this is easier said than done, and obviously it is not so easy to do. Xu Youzheng also said: "Now people's hearts are complicated, friends and foes are indistinguishable, and some people have evil intentions and ill intentions. The Southwest Military Affairs Yuan was eyeing each other, although Yuan Xiangcheng was dead, but they were unwilling to hand over the military power so easily. At this time, it is not appropriate to form an Anhui cabinet. Even if you ask for a god tablet, you must first ask for an available tablet to stabilize the situation in the north. But the people who invite us must make sure to listen to us and keep pace with us. Moreover, if Zhi Lao wants to make a difference, he must obey the orders of the overseers of the following provinces, and Shandong is the key. This telegram, or Xuzhou, is the bone we gave to Xuzhou, and it is also a stick to beat him. As for whether it is a stick or a bone, it depends on Zhao's own choice. If he is willing to support Zhiweng, we will send another telegram agreeing to give him the territory of Xuzhou. If he never supports Zhi Weng, although this Xuzhou is occupied by the Lu army, we resolutely do not recognize it. There is no legal system to speak of. In addition, the order was signed by the president...... We can say that this is what Li Bodhisattva means. ”

Xu Youzheng smiled, "Now in the capital, there are three forces. Li Bodhisattva has a position, and in any case, the order must be stamped by the president before it can take effect, which is really troublesome. Although Wang Pingqing had no power, he won the throne of the Beiyang Overseer Alliance out of thin air, and he chose a big bargain for nothing. If we don't respect him, we don't respect the provincial overseers, and we need to be careful. If this time, if two peaches kill three soldiers, provoke the conflict between the Federation and the Li Clan, and let them fight each other, no matter what the outcome is, it will not hurt Zhi Weng. ”

Duan Zhiquan nodded, but then shook his head and said, "Although Brother Hire's brother doesn't ask about the world, he has his ears and eyes and ears, how can he not know the current situation in the capital?" He sent a telegram, didn't we use all this careful thinking in the empty space? ”

"It's okay, Enwei is parallel, and Zheng is here, there is still an order to give."

What he newly drafted was an order for the promotion of the generals of the Lu army. After the resumption of the provisional law, the patrol system implemented by Yuan Weiting was abolished, and the political system of each province was changed to a system of supervising the army and managing the military and the government, and the province was in charge of civil affairs. Shandong's provincial palm is always in the air, this feng shui treasure land, but also a tiger and wolf den, no one dares to go there casually to die. Even the people of the Duan family did not have the courage to take this risk.

Xu Youzheng's telegram was to formally appoint Zhao Guanhou as the overseer of Shandong and the head of Shandong Province, and all the gifts of Quanxu during the Hongxian period were recognized except for the confiscation of the title of prince. Secondly, the First Army of the Communist Union was established in Shandong, with Zhao Guanhou as the commander, but at the same time, the rank of commander of the Fifth Division was removed and Zhang Huaizhi was replaced. Shang Quan served as Chief of the General Staff of the First Army and commander of the 37th Division.

The cavalry division was renamed the 1st Cavalry Division of the Commonwealth, and the division commander was appointed as Ma Gen. Lu Bin's 39th mixed brigade was relocated to Shanxi. In addition, Jiang Yanbei was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, appointed as the chief instructor of Baoding Lecture Wutang, and Li Zongyun was the commander of the Beijing infantry army.

This series of appointments is dazzling, but the core purpose is only one: to weaken the Lu system.

Although on the surface, these appointments not only promoted Zhao Guanhou's military rank, but also placed the first military level of the Communist Party in Shandong. But Zhao Guanhou did not serve as the division commander, which was tantamount to letting his subordinates put him in the air. Secondly, the replacement of the division commander of the cavalry division with Ma Gen is to erase the private imprint of this army and turn the wife army into a real communist army.

This is true of the redeployment of Lu Bin's brigade and the personnel transfer of several military generals, and Reinstein was deprived of all positions because he was a foreigner. Xu Youzheng said:

"This telegram is equivalent to Wu Dalang swallowing arsenic, and he will die if he eats it or not. If Shandong explicitly refuses the order, we can put the responsibility of disobeying the government's order and openly confronting Shandong. In the next step, he first stood firm, no matter how strong Shandong's troops were, it would be untenable in terms of justice. If he agrees to appoint him, then everything will be in our hands, step by step, to reduce his military power and resolve the Shandong issue in a peaceful way. In short, Shandong can't be a country within a country like when Yuan was in power, that is tantamount to dispersing the forces of the common, how can the country be strong? ”

Duan Zhiquan nodded, "What you said does make sense, but Zhao Guanhou is extremely scheming, can he agree?" ”

"Fame and fortune, there can always be something that impresses him. We can't send this telegram directly, let's go to Shandong once and make it clear to him face to face. ”

Duan Zhiquan said: "Go to Shandong? Who goes? It's not a bad thing to suffer, who has the audacity to run this trip. ”

Xu Youzheng smiled and pointed at himself, "I poked out this basket, if I don't go, who else can it be?" ”
