"Back then, the small station was training, and there were Wang, Duan, and Xu Sanjie in Beiyang. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Pinglao has an indifferent temperament and has no intention of engaging in politics, Zhiquan, and Huafu, but they all want to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the world. People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, back then it was nothing more than a hill and eight, and now he has opened a province or become a general manager, he is already a very popular minister, what else is there not to be satisfied with, he has to be a big president to be satisfied? Kuaima Zhang once wrote a poem, a captain twenty years ago, and now he opened the palace of Ewangcheng. Zhiquan and Huafu were just a small soldier back then, but now they are in a high position, what else is there to dissatisfaction with? Do you have to be a leader, live a supreme addiction, and really sit on that chair comfortably? ”

The little fan had already said goodbye and left, and in the room, only Anne and Zhao Guanhou were left. Listening to Zhao Guanhou's indignation, Anne smiled and said: "People say that Beiyang is the three masters, but in Songjiang, everyone only recognizes Shandong Yishuai. Others, we don't think he's a hero. It's not worth being angry for them. ”

"yes, they really don't deserve my anger. I just have some regrets, my brother-in-law's body is mostly a situation where the gods can't be saved, even if there is a famous doctor, it is just a delay in time. In the future, if the Beiyang group is to go on, it really needs a new leader. Hua Fu and Crooked Nose, if you want to say that the prestige is enough, but it is too anxious. If they don't come out and jump, I won't support them? If I don't support them, who will I support? It is impossible to support Emperor Sun. You have to play tricks with me, and you have to be tempting. Well, since you want to move your heart, let's move together and see who suffers in the end. ”

Anne looked at Zhao Guanhou, "I don't understand what you're talking about, but I think you should be the leader of this group." If you become a president, I believe there must be many people who support you. ”

"I'm not stupid, if I become the president, and then let you be the president of the Bank of Communications, I will be scolded for being a bad head. At that time, maybe someone from the newspaper will come out and say, as a national example, I should lead by example, I can't marry so many aunts and wives, occupy so many good girls, I should focus on national affairs, and I should give others a chance. What do you think so? ”

Anne sat in his arms and smiled: "Then I will divorce you, and then you will be your secretary, and you can be like now." Is it true that you just talked to Deputy Secretary Xu about the conditions? If they really let me be the president of the Bank of Communications, you will support Duan Zhiquan as president? ”

Xu Youzheng negotiated with Zhao Guanhou on the condition of the interests of the Beiyang group, but Zhao Guanhou's response was only about interests, not public welfare. He supported Duan Zhiquan's conditions, including Chen Lenghe's position as deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, his position as president of the Gonghe Bank, and the general director of the Ministry of Communications, which he would nominate himself. Anne served as the president of the Bank of Communications, and Cao Zhongkun's third division was relocated to Zhili, and Cao Zhongkun served as the Zhili overseer.

Most of these conditions are something that Xu Youzheng can't agree to, even if he is called Duan's soul, this kind of major matter has to be discussed with the ontology before making a decision. It can be seen that in the communion, the soul is governed by the body, and it is not known that this discovery may make some contribution to the study of the religion of the union.

But in any case, Zhao Guanhou is willing to talk about the conditions, and Xu Youzheng is already very satisfied. If you are willing to talk, it means that there is talking, and then it is nothing more than bargaining. Anne is a little unworthy for Zhao Guanhou, such an important matter, he should think more about himself, but he put forward a bunch of conditions, all of which are other people's business, it seems that he himself didn't mention anything to ask?

"It's not about supporting him as president, it's about supporting him as the leader of our group to engage in negotiations with Sun Dixiang. The current situation is like this, Feng Yuzhang is in the southeast and wants to form an alliance and be respected, and Duan Zhiquan is in the capital and wants to be in charge alone. Both of them regard the Beiyang Alliance leader as something in their pockets, which is a big problem. Feng Yuzhang's reliance was that he himself held the heavy troops of the Fourth Division. Duan Zhiquan's reliance is on the status of the army commander and the large number of troops under his control. Although he has a lot of guns, he doesn't dare to merge with Lao Feng Huo now. If I support Lao Feng at this time, he will have no singing. So I offered conditions, and he mostly had to agree. It's nothing more than a combination, the location of the two lines of traffic is sensitive, and the crooked nose may be allowed to go out. But that's not in my hands, I just put forward the conditions, say it or not, and promise it to him. If he dares to say a word, don't blame me for turning his face against him! ”

Anne said: "But you mentioned it for a long time, and you didn't mention the conditions related to yourself, you were speaking for others." ”

"You're not an outsider, my own woman, of course I'm going to hurt. If you open a bank like this in Beijing, it is inevitable that some people will covet it, and the eldest brother's troops are stationed in Zhili, which is the insurance added. Later, Zhengyuan drove to Jinmen, and the eldest brother's soldiers directly protected you, how majestic. At that time, Zhengyuan will be divided into the southern district and the northern district. The person in charge of the North District is your ......"

"The person in charge of the southern district is Xiaoxiao, and Sister Leng He is our superior, in charge of the whole bank. Mrs. Zou, Mrs. Jenson, is the same. ”

Without waiting for Zhao Guanhou to finish speaking, Anne had already spoken first, it was enough for her to snatch her husband from Sister Leng He, and she couldn't rob her inheritance anymore. Being on an equal footing with Sister Leng He is something that must not be done. What's more, she is not her opponent, and doing so will only bring about her own destruction.

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "If you say so, I will respect your opinion." Don't mention them, where do you want to go tomorrow, I'll accompany you. The day after tomorrow, I may have to leave, if there is any problem here, I can call Lao Lei, or find a crooked nose. Whoever of them doesn't give you face, I'll clean him up. ”

Anne shook her head and said, "No...... I'm going to go with you. Zhengyuan will not open now anyway, and it will always take a few days of chaos with the Bank of Communications of Gonghe and the Bank of Communications, and our reckless bills can be redeemed at a discount before they can be accepted by the people. If we put out the sign now, we will definitely be scolded by everyone, and if we open the door in a few days, everyone will thank us for being living bodhisattvas. Again...... I don't have to sit in the headquarters, can I control it remotely? ”

"You...... I also learned to be lazy and not well-behaved. Zhao Guanhou deliberately put on a straight face, but then smiled: "But my woman has the power to be unruly." I'll play with you for two more days, but don't be naughty, things in Beijing need to be handled, and it's not like you're gone. Besides, when I go to that place, it's a bunch of feather dusters who brag about it, it's super boring, so it's better not to go. ”

Anne was a docile character after all, and when she saw her husband's insistence, she chose to back down. "Oh, then I won't go anywhere tomorrow, as long as you stay in the room and accompany me, just like you accompany Sister Leng He, I'm very satisfied. The world in Beijing is too chaotic, so it's better for you to pay attention to safety, so as not to suffer. ”

Xuzhou is the most special city in the entire republic or Hongxian land. Even if Yuan Weiting was proclaimed emperor, he also referred to the communist system and carried out a change to the imperial system. For example, change three kneeling and nine bows to nine bows. The braids and dragon flags were all canceled, and they were as close as possible to a civilized country. Xuzhou is just the opposite, one of the things that Zhang Yuan pays most attention to in Xuzhou is to strive to maintain the Jin system in Xuzhou, to ensure that the people under his rule, maintain the Jin system, from dress to etiquette is still the same as the former Jin.

When the feather dusters in charge of military affairs in the provinces get off the train, they will find themselves in a trance back to years ago. The street is full of yellow dragon flags, the green tweed sedan chair of a water at the entrance of the station, the messenger is waiting there, and when he sees the handsome, he immediately goes over to kowtow and salute, saying that he welcomes the handsome, and then asks someone to get on the sedan chair.

Looking out from the sedan chair, the street is splashed with clean water, the loess cushion road, there are no pedestrians on the road, and on both sides of the road, a water is a pigtail soldier with a rifle on his back. Fiddling with his military hat with a feather feather in his hand, Zhang Yuting was silent for a long time before muttering: This thing, or he can play with his big braids, isn't this still the same as Qianjin? What a.

In addition to the streets and the clothing of the soldiers, the reception is also full of pre-gold style. Good swallow wing seats, duck slice cigarettes, gambling equipment, and Ji Nu have everything. In order to take care of the different tastes of the marshals, Zhang Yuan specially spent a lot of money to invite the Eight-Nation Alliance from Shandong.

Including the women of Fusang, Tiele, Prussia, and even Albiang who went to sea because of the pressure of livelihood. Seventy percent of the first-class people in the flower industry in Shandong came to Xuzhou, including two members of the Shandong Provincial Council who took leave from the parliament and came back to engage in their own business.

Soon after Zhang Yuting arrived in the room, the overseers of Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces came in one after another. They are sons and daughters of each other, and their relationship is extremely close, and they do not recruit outsiders. After smoking twenty-four cigarettes and playing a few pai gow, Zhang Yuting whispered:

"Damn, this big braid is so wide, it's smoke and a girl, this trip will cost an old nose just for the capital. Although he is in charge of the water police investigation of the five provinces and is responsible for anti-smuggling, he is a top fat shortage, but it is not to this extent. What is he doing here? ”

The Heilongjiang overseer is the banner man Bi Zhicheng, who gives the nickname Bi no matter what, a well-known useless person in the three provinces outside the Guan, Xiang has no claim, but his brain is very bright. Zhang Yuan's pomp and circumstance was the most about his thoughts, and after a little thought, he knew what he meant, shook his head and said:

"Yu Shuai, isn't this an obvious thing. Zhang Yuan's move, first, is to win over the overseers of our provinces, eat people with short mouths, and take people softly. After eating his benefits, it is not good to deal with him. The second is to show off their financial resources, with such financial resources, are you afraid that you won't be able to do things? The third is to compete with Feng Huafu for the hearts of the people, and if the overseers of our provinces say more for him, Feng Huashuai's strength will be weaker. Fourth, it is to set up a battle with the Guangdong Military Affairs Yuan, and the pigtail soldiers have now expanded to 60 battalions, and they are almost all mobilized. You see, when you enter the city, you can see that there are cannons. It is said that the braided army has an old military system, but they don't want to die in battle, and they are actually a considerable force. If the Guangdong military government insists on making it difficult with Beiyang, Zhang Braid Shuai may have to fight with them, at that time, it is really the sentence 'If the Huangchao soldiers come, Lone will fight with him gun to gun. I see, Guangdong doesn't have the courage to do so. ”

Zhang Yuting pondered for a moment and agreed with Bi Zhi's opinion. That's pretty much it. I think there's one more, he's scaring people. We came to Xuzhou for a meeting, and we didn't bring many guards. He put so many soldiers out just to demonstrate to us. Zhang Yuan is a bastard, he really provokes him, he will do everything, if he refuses to comply, he will most likely suffer. Let's run after him first, hold him and say, if he wants to make a mistake, let's not stop him, and if he has anything to say, we will talk about it when we get home. ”

The overseers of the three provinces outside the Guanxi had the least connection with the entire campaign, and in the Beiyang system, they were also the most marginal part. The battle between the north and the south has little to do with them, and the leader of the Beiyang Alliance has little interest in himself. From the very beginning, their purpose was two words: to watch the show.

In addition to them, the representatives of the Third Route Army of the Southwest Communist Party and the representatives of the Guangdong Military Government were also present at this meeting of the overseers. Among them, the situation in Guangdong is the most special, the Military Affairs Yuan sent the plenipotentiary representative of Sun Dixiang, and the original dragon king of Guangdong, Long Qiguang, appeared in Xuzhou at the same time, a region, two representatives, but each other's camps are opposite.

Although Long Qiguang declared independence, the Guangdong People's Army refused to buy it and continued to attack. Emperor Sun's strong appeal, coupled with the 20,000 rifles brought by the anti-water navy, made Long Qiguang's subordinates chaotic. A large number of combat-effective troops directly rebelled against the water and voluntarily accepted Sun's adaptation, and Long Qiguang's situation deteriorated day by day, and in the end he could only go to the field with electricity and was reappointed to the post of general office of the Liangguang Mining Bureau. He went to Xuzhou this time for only one purpose: to cry Qin Ting.

Since it is a conference in Beiyang, I, a former Beiyang cadre, am naturally close to the participants. As long as you can borrow a troop, you can turn it over. With this gambler mentality, he lobbied around in Xuzhou, and the activity funds he brought were spent like flowing water. However, most people can't understand his Cantonese, and he is more perfunctory than helpful.

In the end, Zhu Duan, the overseer of Zhejiang, was more kind, and his situation was not very good, and his former good brother Lu Gongwang now openly opposed him to sit on this overseer. If it weren't for the restraint of Songjiang's Beiyang Army, maybe he would have been overthrown by now. empathized with Long Qiguang's experience, and could speak a few words of Cantonese, so he also enthusiastically instructed him: Now the people who are talking about things are Zhang Braided Shuai and Feng Huashuai. If you want to borrow soldiers, ask them to talk to them, and tell other people that it is useless.

The post house where Feng Yuzhang stayed was full of visitors from morning to night. There were two tables of pai gow in the room, and there was a large smoking bed in the small room. Mrs. Zhou is a skilled housekeeper, and Feng Yuzhang is at home and rarely eats cigarettes. But when he arrives in Xuzhou, his wife will not follow, so he can occasionally indulge and compete with the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it is not a problem to strengthen China's military might.

He was in a good mood, or rather, better than ever. One third of the provincial overseers have made it clear that they are willing to support Feng Yuzhang as the co-ruler of Beiyang. When Yuan abdicated, he supported Feng as the president and led everyone to fight against the Southern Army.

Among the more powerful supporters, one is Cao Zhongkun and the other is Li Xiushan. These two people not only hold power in their own hands, but also the siblings of Shandong Zhao Guanhou Jinlan. With Zhao Guanhou's righteous style, the two brothers support him, he will definitely not contradict him, this time, he can be regarded as decided.

The only question is: Why didn't a single representative from Shandong come to such a big meeting? Zhao Guanhou's shelf, is it too big?
