Fengxian Jiangshan

President Li Yuanhong also seized this golden opportunity, and his attitude became tough in an instant, and the most troublesome thing for Lao Duan was Zhang Zuolin's attitude. Feng Jun even wanted to conduct military exercises.

"What the hell, this bearded man, does he want to lead the army into the customs? I'll wait for him here and see if Fengjun is stronger or Beiyang is stronger!"

Duan Qirui was jumping and yelling, and Xu Shuzheng, who had a great strategy, was at a loss. The matter in front of him was indeed too difficult. A Congress is not scary, a single president is not scary, and the princes of a place are not scary either. But the combination of these three kinds of power produced an astonishing power, and Prime Minister Duan couldn't help feeling terrified and fidgeting.

"Zhi Weng, the top priority is to prevent Zhang Zuolin and Li Yuanhong from colluding. Once the two cooperate, one holds the gun, and the other controls the righteousness. If the two become one, we will be in danger."

The old Duan also calmed down. Xu Shuzheng's words made sense. It is indeed not appropriate to make too many enemies now. The old Duan thought for a while and asked, "You Zheng, do you have any opinions?"

"Zhi Weng, the art of war pays attention to the false and the true. Zhang Zuolin is doing some military exercises, and he shouted very loudly, but I don't think he dares to enter the customs. The Fengjun just had a conflict with the Russians, and there was a quarrel with the Japanese. He entered Guan is not afraid of being copied? Let’s not say anything, he can practice if he wants to, as long as he stationed troops in Shanhaiguan to deter Zhang Zuolin, then there is no need to worry too much!”

"This is one way. Zhang Zuolin is a powerful bandit leader. It's really inappropriate to confront him head-on. We should deal with the damn Congress and Li Bodhisattva first."

After thinking about the countermeasures, the old Duan sighed again: "Youzheng, I finally understand the difficulty of Gongbao now, the so-called nzhǔcommunism is really not the same thing, whatever you want to do, you have to be punished." Constraints in every aspect, military and state affairs are handed over to the group of congressmen, what can they discuss, and how many things do they know, they are all a bunch of scholars who can only talk about it, it is useless at all."

The old Duan was full of anger, he could only cut through the mess quickly, and pass the bill of declaring war on Germany as soon as possible. For this reason, the old Duan had to find Li Yuanhong again, and asked Li Bodhisattva to order the dissolution of the Congress.

In the presidential palace, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui sat opposite each other. After the old Yuan died, Li Yuanhong succeeded as the president, Duan Qirui became the prime minister, Li Bodhisattva was generous and had a high reputation, Duan Qirui was upright and had a breeze in his sleeves. The command of the country by these two people has indeed given many people a glimmer of hope that the country may get better and better from now on.

But this is not the case at all. The distance between the president and the prime minister is getting deeper and deeper, almost to the point of tit for tat.

"President, in the Congress, the Democratic Party elements are causing trouble and obstructing the country's affairs. I implore the President to issue an order to dissolve the Congress and hold new elections."

Speaking of this, the old Duan emphasized again: "The governors of all provinces also mean the same thing!"

Hearing this obviously provocative words, Li Yuanhong frowned, the flesh on his big face trembled, and said slowly: "Zhiquan, it is reasonable for the parliamentarians to object, and the governors of all provinces are right. Among them, the attitudes are also different. Zhang Zuolin, the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces, Zhang Zuoxiang, the governor of Jilin, and Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang, jointly signed a letter, asking for an explanation of the loan issue to Japan. Absolutely disagree!"

"President, why do you take the nonsense of some newspapers seriously? How could Duan betray the country? This is all malicious slander from villains."

"Well, I also believe in the Prime Minister's innocence, but in order to set the record straight, I suggest that the Prime Minister rest for a while, and wait until the investigation is clear before resuming the work of the government." RS! .

Chapter 344 Rip off

Li Yuanhong shook his head and said this casually, but to the old Duan's ears, it was like a thunderbolt. Li Yuanhong did not follow his instructions to dissolve the National Assembly, but instead wanted to depose himself as the prime minister, Duan Qirui Suddenly, like a raging lion, he didn't know what to say.

Seeing Duan Qirui's frantic appearance, Bodhisattva Li felt very comfortable. After being bullied for so long, he finally moved back to a game today. How could Li Yuanhong be unhappy? He even pretended to comfort Duan Qirui: " Zhiquan, the government can’t do without you, that’s ten days and half a month, and you’ll come back after the problem is solved!”

After he finished speaking, Li Yuanhong issued the order that the raw rice was cooked and cooked, and Lao Duan was revoked from the position of prime minister.It was obvious that Li Yuanhong had planned for a long time before he made a decisive move to deal Duan Qirui a fatal blow. The timing of his attack was very precise, and the attack was sharp and deadly.

Li Yuanhong bears the nickname of Bodhisattva, and many people regard him as a weak and deceitful good person, but there are a few simple characters who can stand out in troubled times. It was just a good card, so he had to pretend to be stupid, but when it came time to make a move, he was not ambiguous at all.

Duan Qirui lost his black hat in a blink of an eye, of course he was not reconciled, the old Duan found Xiao Xu, after the two discussed it, Duan Qirui immediately left Beijing and left Tianjin.Since the time of Li Hongzhang, Tianjin has been the base camp of Beiyang, and later Lao Yuan trained troops at the small station. Over the years, Beiyang's forces have been intertwined in Tianjin.

After Lao Duan arrived in Tianjin, he immediately set up the General Staff Office of Military Affairs, pulled the governors of the northern provinces, threatened to re-form the government, and worked with Li Yuanhong to the end.

The Beiyang government underwent earth-shaking changes overnight.The prime minister and the president completely torn their faces, and the news quickly spread throughout the world. Of course, Fengtian was so close to Beijing and Tianjin, so it was impossible for him to be unaware.

"Damn it, we just said we're going to have a military exercise, but we haven't prepared yet. There's such a big mess in Beijing. The old Duan was driven to Tianjin. Who are we going to protest against? Could it be Li Yuanhong?"

"Commander, I don't think it matters at all. The more chaos there is, the more military drills will be carried out. On the front line of Shanhaiguan, we must maintain enough troops. Only in this way, no matter how the situation in the pass develops, we can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. And It can also create pressure on all parties.”

Yang Yuting smiled and explained the role of the military exercise. The original military exercise was to deter Lao Duan and not allow him to betray the interests of the Northeast. Now the military exercise is continuing to put pressure on the customs and influence the dispute between the government and the court. direction.It can be more useful.

Zhang Tinglan, who was also present, had a more far-reaching purpose. Now that the dispute between the government and the court has come to an end, the farce of Zhang Xun's restoration is about to be staged, under the banner of a military exercise in name.In fact, it is to make Fengjun ready for battle. As long as Zhang Xun makes a fuss, Fengjun will march into Beijing and Tianjin at the right time and make a lot of money.

In addition, Guo Songling was sent to Chifeng for this purpose. As long as the braided army moves, Fengjun will take advantage of the situation and take Rehe, and use Rehe as an outpost for Fengjun to march into the entire northwest.

If this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not utilized to the maximum, Zhang Tinglan might as well hang herself.Although Lao Zhang didn't know about the restoration of Zhang Xun, he also knew that Beiyang's troubles would definitely cause chaos in the world. The powerful Fengjun, like a sharp sword, was chosen on top of Beijing and Tianjin. Whoever wants to win must give Fengjun enough benefits.

After thinking about this, Lao Zhang had an idea in his mind, and he said to Sun Liechen: "Zan Yao, this exercise seems to be very important, you should be the commander-in-chief, and let the little six follow you to improve your skills. You must plan carefully, and don't miss this good opportunity for training!"

There was something in Lao Zhang's words. Of course, Sun Liechen understood the implication, so he agreed without hesitation. Feng Jun must also speed up his pace of use, and he must not let this fleeting opportunity slip away.

Feng Jun is sharpening his sword here, ready to fish in troubled waters, and the situation in Beijing is also changing three times a day. At first, Li Yuanhong thought that by dismissing Duan Qirui, he would gain an advantage, but Li Bodhisattva also underestimated Duan Qirui's power.

Lao Duan is the leader of Beiyang's new generation, and his influence is huge. How many generals in Beiyang have made great achievements because of Duan Qirui. Now if Lao Duan falls, wouldn't they all be in danger?

Therefore, Xu Shuzheng, Fu Liangzuo, Jin Yunpeng, and Wu Guangxin, the four kings under Duan Qirui, all jumped out. In addition to the three eastern provinces, the governors of the northern provinces also stood by Duan's side and jointly put pressure on Li Yuanhong.

Now Li Yuanhong is in an embarrassing situation. After all, in this year, he has a gun in his hand and can speak hard. Li Yuanhong has the status of a great president, but he does not have the corresponding military power. After Duan Qirui was dismissed, even the new Governments cannot be organized.

Li Bodhisattva's situation became more and more difficult, and his fellow countryman, Zhang Guogan, the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, also worried for Li Yuanhong.

"President, I opposed the removal of Duan Qirui at the beginning. His connections are too strong. Removing him rashly will only arouse the hatred of the generals in Beiyang, which is not good for us. It is better to keep him on the table. Watching him keep making mistakes, and finally take him down logically."

Li Yuanhong also nodded with a wry smile: "Qan Ruo, it's not that I don't want to be patient, it's that Duan Qirui is too deceitful, he doesn't even have me as a great president in his eyes, I can't even compare to a tablet, if he doesn't take him down , I am the president, and I don’t mean much anymore.”

Zhang Guogan also knew that Li Yuanhong had made up his mind, and it was useless to regret, so he could only think about how to remedy it. He thought for a while and said, "President, if you want to fight against Duan Qirui, you must have military power. Why should Duan Qirui fight against Duan Qirui?" Isn't it so rampant because he holds the army in his hands?"

"Well, that makes sense. Who do you think we should ask for foreign aid?"

"President, among the powerful princes in this world, there are very few who can compete with Duan Qirui. Feng Guozhang is second to none. Individuals can use it, one is Zhang Zuolin, the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces, and the other is Zhang Xun, the tour envoy of Mengjiang."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanhong nodded repeatedly.Among the governors in the world, Zhang Xun has the oldest qualifications and strong strength, so he can indeed speak.In addition, although Zhang Zuolin is only a rising star in Beiyang, he has risen very fast in the past two years. He holds the troops of the three provinces in his hands, and he has just recovered the Middle East Road, which is at the height of the sun.

The most important thing is that Zhang Zuolin and Lao Duan had a falling out this time. Duan Qirui betrayed the interests of the three eastern provinces to Japan, and Zhang Zuolin felt great dissatisfaction.There is also a military exercise. If Zhang Zuolin can be pulled to his side, with the support of a strong Fengjun, he will be sure of Duan Qirui.

"Gan Ruo. I think Zhang Zuolin is the stronger of the two. He also has conflicts with Duan Qirui. It's easier to pull him over."

"What the President said is very true. I am willing to go to Fengtian in person and lobby Zhang Zuolin to let him agree to send troops."

Zhang Guogan is also a man of action. Now that he has made a decision, he immediately goes north by train.Came to Fengtian.The secretary of the presidential palace came here on behalf of the president, Zhang Zuolin was also very enthusiastic and invited Zhang Guogan into the palace.

"I've known Yushuai's reputation for a long time. It's really rude for me not to visit!"

"Mr. Shigong is polite. Mr. Zhang is just doing his duty faithfully. He is doing his job according to his duty."

"Yu Shuai's words are worth gold. If everyone in the world could do their duty faithfully, the country would be prosperous and the people would be at peace long ago. It's just that there are always some people who are greedy for power and position and break the law. It is really a disaster for the world."

Speaking of this, Zhang Guogan bowed his hands to Zhang Zuolin: "This time I came to Fengtian, I just wanted to ask Yushuai to come forward and uphold justice. In order to join the war, Duan Qirui did not hesitate to sell the national interests, especially the sovereignty of the three eastern provinces. How can this kind of national thief continue to hold power and govern!"

Mentioning the sovereignty of the Northeast, Lao Zhang raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Anything related to the sovereignty of the three eastern provinces must be notified to the three provinces in advance and must be approved by the three provincial councils. Otherwise, Fengjun will not recognize any treaty." , we don’t want to fight against the central government, but we can’t just watch the central government sell us out!”

"Yu Shuai's words are reasonable. The President doesn't know about this kind of thing at all, otherwise he will definitely stop it. Not long ago, the Fengjun defeated the Russians and greatly increased the prestige of China. It can be called an example of soldiers in the world. Now Fengjun should take action. The President will definitely thank you for maintaining the stability of the country, and as long as a new government is formed, the Chief of the Army will be the commander in chief."

Zhang Guogan did not hesitate to throw out the post of chief of the army, which Lao Duan had always held concurrently. He regarded it as a treasure and was unwilling to let go.Li Yuanhong was generous, but Lao Zhang was not interested in this position at all. Zhang Zuolin knew very well that although the chief of the army was good, except for the three eastern provinces, Lao Zhang had no contacts in the pass, so he didn't even think about commanding the world.

And if you want to become the chief of the army, you must first defeat Duan Qirui. Although Fengjun is very powerful, Lao Zhang has not arrogantly thought that he can replace Beiyang, so Zhang Zuolin is not interested in this proposal at all.

"Secretary-General, as a soldier of the country, Zhang is supposed to serve the country, and he dare not ask for extravagant rewards. It's just that after the Fengjun fought the Russians, he wasted a lot. In addition, the border line in the northeast is more than 4000 kilometers, and there are everywhere Fenghuo, if you want to defend these places, you will need a lot of military spending, please ask the President to help Fengjun in this regard."

At this time, you can see whether a leader is wise. Lao Zhang is very aware of his power, and he never pursues the unrealistic title of chief executive, but directly asks for money. Real money is the real thing. Got to see.

When Zhang Guogan heard what Lao Zhang said, he was also a little embarrassed. How could Li Yuanhong have any money in his hand? Besides, if there is less money, Zhang Zuolin's support could not be exchanged. Use, take out the real thing.

"Secretary-General, I also know the difficulties of the President, so there is no need for the President to pay for it, just temporarily stop sending taxes to the central government!"

According to the regulations since the Republic of China, taxation is also divided into two types: national tax and local tax. For example, stamp duty, salt, and tobacco monopoly tax must be handed over to the central government, while the local government only collects some miscellaneous taxes. .Of course Zhang Zuolin would not be so honest, he has been cutting expenses, but at least 2000% to [-]% must be handed over, and the three provinces add up to over [-] million.
