Chapter Thirty-Seven: Get Out

Duan Qirui also has no choice, although he is not greedy for money, he is good for power. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info sits in the position of the chief of the army, and although it looks and sounds imposing, it can't actually do anything. Oh, and can't quite say that either. With regard to the more than 10,000 troops in the Beijing-Tianjin area, he still has some right to speak.

What about other than that? That is, nothing can be done, and it is the deputy commander of the army who is far away in Taiyuan who really decides the policy of the army. In the same way, it was the small imperial court in Taiyuan that decided the affairs of other governments.

He, Duan Qirui, didn't want to be moldy in such a place in the background. Moreover, Beijing is now weakened, and the war in the Gengzi years destroyed half of the city, and more than half of the people fled. Later, when the city of Beijing went on a killing spree, most of the rest of the people ran away.

The most ridiculous thing is that those Manchu people slaughtered each other cleanly, and the lower classes also ran clean, and then they took the names of Han people one after another, pretending to be Han people. Even those who love Xinjueluo are like this. By the time Li Hongzhang entered Beijing, there was no capital posture at all.

On the other hand, although the Boxers fought a great battle with the foreigners here, because of the existence of the lease and the geographical location near the sea, it developed rapidly after the war.

Before the port of Qingdao was repaired, Tianjin was the largest import and export port in China. The "pound sterling", which sells well all over the world, has spread from Tianjin to the world, and this alone can bring tens of thousands of pounds of income to the big men in the concession every year.

Tens of thousands of pounds! This is the pound that can be considered hard currency in most parts of the world! In the slums of London, a large number of people can kill people for a hundred pounds. No, it should be said that a lot of people will kill people for a hundred pounds.

In addition to the evil things like the "pound", there are many small iron objects that have spread throughout Asia this year, such as nails, scissors, spoons and the like. In particular, the spoons made of stainless steel, as well as the matching cutlery, have now been sold back to the UK.

It was with the huge benefits of Tianjin that Duan Qirui was able to encourage the maintenance of an army of more than 10,000 people. But it is not a way to continue like this, the throughput of Qingdao is growing day by day, and there are gradually signs of replacing Tianjin. If the railway from Handan to Qingdao is completed, Tianjin's position will definitely not be guaranteed.

At that time, how should he Duan Qirui deal with himself? Do you want to defect to Feng Guozhang who is entrenched in Xuzhou? Although the two are old friends, old friends, and old colleagues, the relationship is not so good. In the past, the two were competitors, but when the big tree in Beiyang collapsed, the relationship between the two not only did not improve, but became worse.

The reason is also very simple, after Yuan Shikai went into the wilderness, Beiyang split into two groups headed by Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui. After most of those Beiyang inheritances were eaten by the Black Dragon Society, there was still a lot left. The two groups are fighting for these legacies, but there is no less dirty.

Although Duan Qirui is often a taciturn image, he is extremely proud. If he wants to run to hug Feng Guozhang's thigh, it is better to let him die. In the Beiyang Department, he only admitted that Yuan Shikai and Wang Shizhen were stronger than him. Among the dragon and tiger dogs of the "Three Heroes of Beiyang", he is ranked before Feng Guozhang.

Wang Shizhen can see it, the old man is in the wilderness, and he will hand over the military power and everything. Maybe it's because he's seen too many scenes like this, and maybe he's tired of it. In countless reincarnations, he has tried various methods, but without exception they have failed.

This time, Wang Shizhen made up her mind not to participate in anything, so she stayed out of the play and watched the show. However, after Duan Qirui lowered his cheeks and went to his house to ask for advice, he could only give some suggestions. It was precisely because of this that Duan Qirui decided to fall to the two in the northwest after thinking about it for a long time.

He already admired Wang Shizhen a lot, and he recognized the previous achievements of the Black Dragon Society, so it was logical to go to the past. The only question is whether people will accept him as a "demoted general". In the final analysis, he is a member of Beiyang, and Beiyang was defeated by others, and if he took refuge in the past halfway, he will most likely be discriminated against, right?

If he had a smaller amount of energy, he would have been transferred to an idle post after stripping him of his army. It's like a bald head in a certain world.,What you like to do most is to swallow up miscellaneous cards.。 If you don't have the tolerance to embrace all rivers, you will only engage in some small circles and small groups, and after developing to a certain extent, there will be no potential to be tapped.

So, in the end, the empty guy triumphantly turned to the southern island.

However, for the point of bearing, Duan Qirui is still very relieved of the two in the northwest. An old family like Li Hongzhang can tolerate it, and Yuan Shikai, who has gone into the wilderness, is also staying in Xiangcheng's hometown, how can he not tolerate him? The only problem is the price given by the other party.

In the almost two years since the fall of Beiyang, the Northwest Town Guard Mansion has left Beijing and Tianjin at its own convenience. Taxes, expenditures, and whatever, are left to their own devices. Even if it was the army under his command, Chen Cheng didn't look at it much.

The old Beiyang Army trained hard and was skilled in combat, but its tactics were already behind the times. In the coming era, the technical arms of heavy machine guns, rapid-fire guns, and heavy artillery will become more and more important. Later, planes and tanks were rampant. Trapped in such a narrow area as Beijing and Tianjin, it is difficult for Duan Qirui's department to make any waves, even Feng Guozhang's department has a better future than them.

Before sending a report to Taiyuan, Duan Qirui still passed the news to Yuan Shikai, who was dormant in Xiangcheng. In any case, Yuan Shikai is his old superior, even if he wants to join other factions, he still has to do a good job on the surface.

Henan, Xiangcheng.

After Yuan Shikai received Duan Qirui's telegram, he was silent for a long time and did not speak.

"Father, you must punish Duan Qirui as a traitor!" Yuan Keding and Yuan Dagongzi said viciously: "Otherwise, those sluts will no longer take your father in their eyes one by one!" ”

"Shut up!" Yuan Shikai slammed the table and said angrily: "That's your elder, don't talk like that!" ”

"Father! Duan Qirui, he must hate you for taking away his military power in the first place....."

"Get out! Get out! ”

Yuan Keding withdrew hatefully.
