After Wu Xiaoliang got in the car, he didn't say a word, Duan Qirui never smiled, coughed dryly, and said:

"Weizhong, the situation in the south is unstable, and the Fourth Mixed Brigade needs to be in charge, Wang Zhitang will take it for you for a while, don't have any worries."

"Zhi Shuai said with a smile, Wang Zhigong of the Fourth Brigade was relieved to look at Xiaoliang, and now he is going all out to prepare for the northwest frontier defense." Wu Xiaoliang said with a smile, but he slandered in his heart, you have cut it first and then played, what can I do? Is it noisy? It's better to get enough compensation first.

"Oh? I heard that the preparatory department of Lieutenant General Wei has done a good job and recruited college students, which is very good, and if there are any difficulties, just bring them up. Duan Qirui saw that Wu Xiaoliang was very good and in a good mood, so he let go of his promise.

"Hehe, there is no difficulty, there is one request, it's just ......" Wu Xiaoliang said with a deliberate pause

Duan Qirui said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

"The Russians are preoccupied with themselves, and the soldiers are in full swing, hoping that the prime minister will give the order to pacify Mongolia in one fell swoop." Wu Xiaoliang was not verbose, and directly showed his hole cards.

Duan Qirui nodded, "Young and good, with vigorous capital, and Zheng is as impatient as you." ”

Wu Xiaoliang was nervous for a while, for fear that Duan Qirui would refuse to close the door to death. Unexpectedly, Duan Qirui pondered and asked, "Can the Northwest Frontier Preparatory Office win a battle against me?" ”

Wu Xiaoliang's heart jumped excitedly, and he said with great joy: "Zhishuai, without the support of the Russians, the princes and lamas of Mongolia are really not worth mentioning. ”

"Good! Good! Good! Duan Qirui said three good things in a row.

When the car arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, the two got out of the car separately, Duan Qirui turned his head, his face changed, and he was so heavy that he could drip water.

Duan Qirui is actually already anxious, Cao Kun, Wang Zhanyuan, Li Chun and others have been in private in tandem to prepare to resist his policy of unifying the south by force again, and now his most trusted Ni Sichong also came to a secret telegram, proposing to stop the army and stop the war, even Wu Xiaoliang, a backward scholar, also came to negotiate terms with him, everyone wants to dismantle his platform, and the road behind will be difficult, but he Duan Qirui is a person who gives up lightly.

"Another Zheng, go to Tianjin to see Cao Zhongshan immediately, and stabilize him for a while, otherwise the shape is really out of control."

Xu Shuzheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Gong Zhi, Cao Zhongshan has agreed to withdraw from the Overseer Council, but there is one person who must be removed?" ”

"Oh? Who is it? Duan Qirui was very unimpressed by these conspiracies, but he would not stop them.

"6 Jianzhang, this time, the Overseers united against the war, and this is the one behind it." Xu Shuzheng said hatefully.

"Again, you must be cautious in your actions, and you must not act as a killer." Duan Qirui spoke seriously, Xu Shuzheng is not only a big secretary to him, sometimes it is more like a friend who has forgotten the year, looking at Xu Shuzheng's temples before he is forty taels old, he sighed in his heart, I have to be as good as Liu Bei Zhuge again.

"Another Zheng, think about it, whether that Wu Weizhong asked Quan to talk about the lieutenant general and appease the situation, and no one can dismantle our platform at the critical moment." After saying that, he sighed, and complained rarely: "This Wu Zhitang can't let me save snacks, even if you want military power, can't you make your food look better?" ”

Xu Shuzheng pondered for a while and replied: "Wu Weizhong, a person who is clear, will not be confused in major matters, and it is not necessary to be promoted to lieutenant general, so it is not appeasement, but it hurts him." ”

Duan Qirui nodded and said: "This Wu Weizhong is upright, but sometimes he is too presumptuous, if he doesn't return to Beijing alone, how can he give Zhitang the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?" ”

Xu Shuzheng disagreed, and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing for young people to suffer a little loss. ”

"It's rare that you like him." Duan Qirui's tone gradually relaxed, he was used to not smiling, only when Xu Shuzheng was there, he might make a joke or two.

Duan Qirui's good mood didn't wait until the evening, and bad news came from the south. Feng Yuxiang was the first to electrify the whole country in Hankow, opposing the use of troops to support the armistice. This was a surprise to everyone, and the Overseers were still haggling in private, when someone suddenly jumped out first, and they stopped connecting and decided to watch the wind. Feng Yuxiang thought that he had taken the lead and it would be difficult to take the lead, and then the provincial overseers would inevitably respond en masse, and it would not be too much for him to be the overseer of a province at that time. But it backfired, and after he jumped out, no one responded to the cold scene and advocated becoming a monkey. What embarrassed him even more was that his immediate boss Cao Kun sent a telegram to the whole country, dissociating himself from it, and hoping that he would learn from his mistakes and focus on the overall situation of the country.

Feng Yuxiang scolded Cao Kun for being a villain at both ends of the rat, but he was helpless, the provincial overseers did not support him as expected, and there were even many people who wanted to step on him.

On January 24, the seventh year of the Republic of China, Duan Qirui ordered Feng Yuxiang to be removed from the post of the 16th Mixed Brigade and handed over to Wu Guangxin, the commander of the Fourth Mixed Brigade.

Although the anti-Duan and anti-Anhui forces were suppressed again, the anti-war voices in the Beiyang government and even within the Anhui system were rising day by day, and Duan Qirui had no choice but to order that all those who were willing to recruit the southern rebels would be given the first number, and the original provincial troops would be allowed to return to their hometowns. In this regard, Duan Qirui's plan to unify China by force was completely shattered.

After the war in the south ended, Xu Shuzheng began to encourage Duan Qirui to use troops against Mongolia, Duan Qirui couldn't push back, so he said helplessly: "Tomorrow, the Congress will discuss together, if half of the people pass through Guò, I will have no objections." ”

Xu Shuzheng was overjoyed when he saw Duan Qirui, and he complimented him: "Zhigong is wise." ”

The secretary knocked on the door and entered the room, and said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, Wu Weizhong asks to see you." ”

Xu Shuzheng immediately rushed and said: "Let him come in, there is something to discuss." ”

Duan Qirui was shot by Xu Shuzheng, shook his head and said, "You must be cautious in the use of troops abroad, you are all too impatient." ”

Wu Xiaoliang entered the house, Xu Shuzheng pulled him to sit down, "Weizhong, Zhigong has approved the preparatory office to go north......"

Looking at Duan Qirui again, he actually took care of himself and read the text, but his brows gradually wrinkled, and he snorted coldly: "Feng Huafu has not stopped recently, jumping up and down." ”

Xu Shuzheng saw that Duan Qirui was in a bad mood, so he no longer mentioned the use of troops against Mongolia, "Why don't you force him to step down?" ”

"It's not easy to get Feng Huafu to step down, the key is who can replace him."

"Why don't you invite Xu Bugong back." Wu Xiaoliang interjected.

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were both stunned, and then clapped their hands.

"Wonderful, and Zheng, let's push Xu Buwu to the stage."

The secretary hurried in again, took a newspaper in his hand, and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, the students are marching again!" ”

Xu Shuzheng frowned and said: "These students are intolerant and good, they should all be handed over to Weizhong to manage, so as to save the noisy parade that has nothing to support every day." ”

Duan Qirui has long been surprised by the student march.

"What is it for this time?"
