The political situation in Beijing was in chaos, and the Overseers held a meeting in Xuzhou again, and Xuzhou at this time was lively because of the arrival of the various Overseers, or representatives of the Overseers. Most of them just sent their own representatives, but there were four or five of them in person. Although the gold content is still not as good as the Overseer Conference in Beijing, it is already an extremely grand meeting compared to the previous Xuzhou Conference.

"How can this be reasonable, Li Bodhisattva looks kind and temperamental on the outside, but I can't imagine that he is actually a person with evil intentions, if it weren't for the original Hefei nodding and agreeing, where would it be his turn to be an outsider to be president." Ni Sichong scolded Li Yuanhong bitterly, "Li Bodhisattva can even be exempted from being the prime minister today, in a few days, which of you here can't be exempted?" Day after day, the foundation of our Beiyang rule will be undermined and it will be difficult to maintain. I believe that you will never want to see such a side. ”

"Chen Shuai is right, today Li Bodhisattva can dismiss the prime minister, and tomorrow he can take other people's knife, and this person must not be allowed to damage the foundation of the old Beiyang." Cao Kun's younger brother Cao Rui nodded in agreement.

"Li Bodhisattva is holding chicken feathers as an arrow, I don't think there is anything else, our local overseers will directly unite to pull him off the horse, completely dissolve the Congress, and see what he can do." Ni Sichong took advantage of the situation to agitate the overseers and the delegates to unify their opinions.

When it came to raising troops to oust Li Yuanhong, the local overseers and representatives present began to hesitate again. At this time, four or five overseers from all over the country came, and the others were sent representatives. There are also Lu Rongting, who controls Liangguang, Qin Yu, who controls the three eastern provinces, and Tang Jiyao, who controls Yunnan, and others who did not send people over.

The scene was a little cold for a while, Zhang Xun usually likes to talk about things, but this time after the conflict between the presidential palace and the National Yuan, he didn't say a word. There was a surprising silence, and after seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Xun coughed dryly and drew attention to himself.

"Now the opinions are basically unanimous, Li Bodhisattva is alone, don't worry. But if you want to say that whoever takes the lead is unwilling to stand up and be the first bird, and what to do after Li Bodhisattva is knocked out of power and the parliament is dissolved, everyone has no decision in their hearts, yes and no. Zhang Xun asked.

"Yes, the dissolution of the Congress, President Yuan also did it back then, and it didn't work out. The problem after that is indeed troublesome. Zhang Huaizhi said.

"I don't think it's as good as this, just implement the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, Li Yuanhong should not have a bad feeling for me, and has always wanted to invite me to Beijing to mediate the dispute with the State Yuan, so I simply led troops into Beijing to drive Li Yuanhong out of power first, and then carry out the restoration." Zhang Xun finally said what he really thought in his heart, in fact, he met in Xuzhou a few times ago. Zhang Xun once hinted, but the time was not yet ripe. Zhang Xun didn't say it thoroughly. Now that Duan Qirui has stepped down because of the problem of Xiyuan's borrowing, Zhang Xun believes that the restoration is a matter of course.

When the people present heard Zhang Xun's thoughts, they were all surprised, Yuan Shikai was the first to carry out the restoration with the dignity of the president, but it was still a failure, and it was true that Zhang Xun had tens of thousands of troops under his hands. But compared with Yuan Shikai at the beginning, it is not a little worse.

Xu Shuzheng is not a good person, but he does have some outstanding ability in speculating on people's hearts and conspiring and calculating. Zhang Xun's thoughts in the previous Xuzhou meetings Xu Shuzheng could see it. It's just that Duan Qirui's prestige is getting stronger and stronger, and he doesn't take Zhang Xun very seriously. At this time, Duan Qirui's reputation fell to a trough because of the Xiyuan loan, Li Yuanhong took advantage of the situation to remove Duan Qirui from his position, Duan Qirui could not occupy a position in the truth, either directly raised troops, or used others to drive Li Yuanhong out of Beijing, this Zhang Xun is a very good chess piece. The restoration can be seen from the previous Yuan Shikai, this matter is against the sky, with Yuan Shikai's strength, the most difficult had to cancel the imperial system, Zhang Xun He De how can he be, he actually wants to do the same thing as Yuan Shikai. When Zhang Xun made people angry, and Li Yuanhong was also driven away, Duan Qirui came out to clean up the situation again, wouldn't it be a few in one fell swoop.

"Secretary-General Xu, what do you think about this matter?" Zhang Xun is a person who is the supreme of strength, and he can't look down on Duan Qirui who has no direct military power in his heart, but Duan Qirui is still one of the banner figures in Beiyang on his face, and for the overseers, his reputation is even higher than him, Xu Shuzheng came on behalf of Duan Qirui, which is known to everyone. If Xu Shuzheng can nod, there is basically no problem with Ni Sichong, and Ni Sichong is also a very important one among the provincial overseers. Coupled with myself, it is a sure thing to pass this meeting.

"As long as you can pull Li Yuanhong from the position of president, you don't need to worry about means." Xu Shuzheng said this, which is equivalent to directly agreeing with Zhang Xun's opinion.

"Ha Luha, okay, you can rest assured, Li Yuanhong has no power and no power, it is not difficult to drive him out of Beijing, but the middle still needs to plan a thing or two, I don't think it is as good as this, by the provincial overseers announced the separation from Beijing, Li Yuanhong will inevitably panic when he arrives, he asked me to be a mediator several times, I have not been much to deal with, but I have not completely refused, when the time comes, I will not announce the departure from Beijing, go to Beijing as a mediator, after arriving in Beijing, coerce him to dissolve the Congress, let it agree to the requirements of the Governor Corps, In this way, the opinions of the Chinese people will be transferred to Li Yuanhong, and after Li Yuanhong's reputation has been hit, he will be driven out of Beijing and the Qing Dynasty will be restored, what do you think? Zhang Xun will say the method that he has thought of a long time ago.

Ni Sichong and Xu Shuzheng glanced at each other, and seeing that Xu Shuzheng had no objections, they immediately stood up and expressed their support for Zhang Xun.

Ni Sichong and Zhang Xun are the two giants in the Overseer Army, and Xu Shuzheng, the representative of Duan Qirui, said that most of the others did not disagree, Zhang Xun was very happy to see it, and immediately said, "Very good, in this case, I have prepared a joint letter, empty words, let's sign it." Zhang Xun clapped his hands, and immediately a soldier brought over a signed book.

Although some people hesitated, at this time, the most important people have already agreed on their opinions, and a little hesitation has nothing to do with the overall situation.

According to the strategy decided at the meeting, Zhang Xun sent Li Yuan Hongyun:

"More than 20 provincial overseers and provincial representatives went to Xuzhou last night to discuss constitutional issues. Xuanfeng Mansion Secretariat's Office is open with electricity...... etc. The Republic of China applies the responsible cabinet system. The appointment or dismissal of officials shall not be effective unless they are countersigned by the State Council. The driver of the Secretariat Department has no responsibility for this matter. Today, he has exceeded his authority and issued a telegram and announced an order without authorization, which is a very pioneering act, and of course cannot be regarded as effective. The rule of law is the first priority in the republic, and if the people come and go at will, how will the people obey? Now that the central government is the first to break the law, the provinces have to act freely. It is a matter of law, and for the very good reason. If there is no way to achieve equality, it will inevitably provoke other changes. I would like to fly and express my direct statement, and I will wait for Jun to judge. ”

This telegram was uttered in the tone of a third person, in the tone of concern for Li Yuanhong, implying that he was willing to come forward to serve as the mediator between Li and the Governor's army.

Li Yuanhong never thought of becoming an enemy of the Beiyang faction, his purpose was only to eliminate a presidentless Duan Qirui. In order to avoid possible misunderstandings caused by the Beiyang faction due to the exemption from the section, Xu Shichang, a veteran of the Beiyang faction, was asked to organize a cabinet after Duan on more than one occasion, and the messengers were constantly on the way. But Xu Shichang, who was in Tianjin, resolutely refused to obey the order. Li also asked Wang Shizhen, another gold-lettered signboard of the Beiyang faction, to form a pavilion to the royal residence, but he also failed to move. The provinces have announced their dissolution from Beijing, and now Zhang Xun, a stalwart among the Beiyang warlords, has come out to express his willingness to mediate, which naturally makes Li Yuanhong, who is at a loss, overjoyed.

Li Yuanhong's acceptance, Duan Qirui's secret fueling, and Zhang Xun's own ambition, there were no accidents. This pigtail army took the train from Xuzhou all the way north.

At this time, the troops stationed near Beijing still included Chen Guangyuan's 12th Division and Li Jincai's 13th Division. Zhang Xun can't afford to provoke it, the War Department is close to the central government, but there are too many involvements in the middle, the 12th Division. The 13th Division will not move against the pigtail army, Zhang Xun made a plan, and put the infantry commanders Jiang Chaozong, Chen Guangyuan, Li Jincai, Wang Shizhen, Lei Zhenchun and others under house arrest, controlling these people is equivalent to controlling Beijing's city defense, so far Beijing has no defense at all for Zhang Xun.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The sky was full of stars, and one or two wolf howls were heard in the distance. In the past, in addition to the moonlight, it was gradually dark night, but at this time, on the grassland, after a while, you can see a few small villages with shining lights. Most of the Mongols are still accustomed to living in tents, but the Han Chinese who came to the steppe brought with them their settled culture.

Whew... The whole sheep, which had been set up and roasted to a golden brown, dripped from time to time a drop or two of fragrant grease under the rotation of the old herdsman.

After roasting, Qin Yu cut off a small piece of mutton with a dagger and swallowed it after biting it a few times in his mouth, and said with a smile, "This food still has to be done according to the situation, and on some occasions the appetite is better, I have eaten delicious whole sheep a few times, once when I was in the previous dynasty, I went to Taonan to suppress bandits on the order of the governor, and I also ate it once or twice later." Later, after going to Fengtian City, I ate it, although the method was similar, but chewing it in my mouth was like a little less flavorful. ”

"The former dynasty? Maybe it's going to be a change of dynasty again. Although He Ming's prospectors have been running around in the field for many years to survey the mineral deposits in the northeast, they are also very concerned about the current affairs of the Republic of China.

"It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, President Yuan Da didn't succeed when he wanted to engage in the imperial system, and Zhang Xun's small role is just asking for his own hardships, which will not last long. By the way, how is the coal mine survey on the other side of the Huolin River, I heard that the scale is not small. ”

This time Qin Yu's western tour, is to inspect the emerging grassland city of Tongliao, of course, Tongliao has been surveyed out of the rich mineral deposits, is also one of the things that Qin Yu is extremely interested in, originally heard that Chifeng found a large coal mine, the result is an oolong, for this matter, Xu Huaqing also in charge of the affairs over there Du Mingzhe scolded a bloody dog, but the east is not bright and the west is bright, Tongliao These rich mineral deposits also made Qin Yu very interested.

"It is indeed not small, it is expected to retain about 1 million tons, the coal seam is very shallow, which is convenient for open-pit mining, and the reserves of coal are several times that of Fushun Coal Mine, and the quality is not inferior to Fushun Coal Mine." Speaking of the Huolinhe Coal Mine, He Ming looked excited. "China's land is vast, this is true, a single Fushun coal mine produces millions of yuan of benefits every year, if the Huolin River coal mine is thoroughly mined, its economic value, and play a role. It is very important for the Northeast as one of the most important energy bases in the Northeast. ”

"1 million tons." Qin Yu was also surprised by this figure, the coal produced by Fushun Coal Mine is basically shipped to Japan, after the development of the industrial base in Northeast China, coal will be used as an extremely important energy source, power generation, industry, daily life needs and so on. Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces cut a large number of heavy taxes and miscellaneous contributions, and the annual fiscal revenue of the province will be about five or six million, and if such a coal mine is put into use, the profits generated will exceed this amount. The cost paid is only to buy some coal digging equipment, recruit some coal digging workers, and at the same time can drive tens of thousands of jobs. If you count the enterprises driven by the development of coal chemical industry. Tens of thousands of jobs have been created.

In addition to coal mines, students and others have also discovered more than 10 iron, zinc, copper, tungsten and other mines in Tongliao. The reserves of iron ore Benxi and Anshan are sufficient, and there are one or two copper ores and tungsten ores with certain mining value. ”

"Okay, the Northeast can develop to the point where it is now, you geologists are the heroes behind the scenes, if you don't have those mined mineral deposits as a foundation. The Northeast has not been able to develop to the point where it is now. Qin Yu said sincerely, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, if there is no iron ore mining in Benxi, Fengtian will not be able to enjoy the huge dividends brought by the European battlefield in recent years. Last year, Benxi Iron and Steel paid more than 10 million tax profits to the provincial treasury, and this year with Ye Yizhao. As well as the local Fengtian area, the joint venture of some businessmen outside the Guanxi has been put into operation, and the Benxi iron ore area alone will contribute more than 20 million yuan in profits to the provincial treasury this year. Of course, the profits made by Qin Yu and those merchants exceeded this amount. The steel production of Mukden Province will also exceed the 300,000-ton mark in one fell swoop, which can also be transformed into war potential in the future.

"The big handsome has won the award, if there is no big boss to preside over the situation, the little knowledge of students and others can only stay in books, and they won't get a chance to show their strengths at all." He Ming and several other geological researchers said with a grateful face, at the beginning, Qin Yu was only the leader of the way, and he spared no effort to support them, so that the team of only a dozen people added up to them expanded to a large number of hundreds of people, from the original one or two small counties, to the current Fengtian, and all over Jilin. And it also has a place in Fengtian Gongda.

"In addition, Chifeng sent a telegram over there, Chifeng has a medium-sized coal mine, and there is a slightly larger copper mine with reserves of more than 150,000 tons, and there are several gold mines, the reserves have reached a medium scale, if the Chifeng deposits are mined, copper and gold mines alone, there will be at least millions of profits a year." He Mingdao.

"Really? Now the entire Special Economic Zone of Rehe adds up to only a few million yuan a year, and it is really a pearl in the dust in the hands of Tanaka Yu. Qin Yu's hand cutting mutton paused. The wealth of mineral development is far greater than farming, and Chifeng alone already has such wealth, not to mention the entire Rehe. Fengtian's electrical appliance manufacturing is developing very fast, wires, faucets, some screws, telephones, and many electrical spare parts use copper, plus the consumption of copper in bullet manufacturing is not small. As for gold mines, it is not as simple as a simple value, for any country, gold is a kind of strategic reserve, something that can stabilize the national currency. The antiques of the prosperous era, the gold of the chaotic market. In the next few decades, the world will not be very peaceful. Fengtian's original economic policy was relatively bold, using gold as a reserve, and a part of Fengtian's banknotes could be issued, which virtually allowed the Northeast government to further expand its interests. The reserve of gold is the credit basis for the future Northeast bills.

"Another thing, the local army in Rehe has discovered the existence of the survey team, but because it is a registered staff member in Fengtian, there is not much trouble over there." He Mingdao.

"That Tanaka jade should also know the way." As Qin Yu was talking, Wang Yuhai took a telegram and walked over.

"Marshal, the news from Beijing, Zhang Xun led the troops to the outside of Beijing."

"Really? This Beijing is really chaotic, and a person like Zhang Braid doesn't know how Lu Dao will stir up Beijing. Qin Yu took the telegram and looked at it, and suddenly said, "It seems that I have to go back to Fengtian City as soon as possible." ”

"You continue to survey the Huolinhe Coal Mine, the coal mines in the Dadian area in Fengtian are now under the control of the Japanese, and they will not be able to recover them for a while, and with the Huolinhe Coal Mine in their hands, they will not only be able to meet the needs of the entire Northeast in the future, but will also be able to transport them to Guannai in large quantities to compete with the coal mines operated by foreigners."

"Don't worry, the students and others will definitely figure out all the situations in the coal mine, and there will never be another oolong like Chifeng." He Ming nodded and reassured.

Zhang Xun led his troops to be stationed outside Beijing, and the change of Li Yuanhong made the situation in Beijing at this time change, and Beijing was not very peaceful, Qin Yu rushed back to Fengtian City overnight. In the previous meetings of the Overseer Legion and the Xuzhou Conference, Qin Yu did not send anyone to attend. This time Beijing has suffered a big change, Qin Yu does not want to stay out of the matter again, the Northeast is still part of the Republic of China in the final analysis, and Qin Yu does not want to wander outside the big group of Beiyang Group.

Putting aside the affairs of Beijing, Qin Yu's attention was put on Tongliao's side, the industrial cluster around Inner Mongolia had already reached a certain scale, and Tongliao had become one of the largest cities on the grassland at this time. Like Taonan, Tongliao due to the supply of wool and hides, wool spinning, leather goods, and dairy products have become the three major industries of Tongliao, and at the same time, Tongliao is also a merchant distribution city leading to the grassland, and there is a super coal mine in Huolin River, and the railway is first to be built here.
