Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun nodded.

This Duan Xun did not discuss with other people, and said directly: "Prime Minister Dai is right. Then send a telegram to Yang Zengxin, transfer Yang Zengxin to Beijing to have a new appointment. Ask Yang Zengxin to recommend a list of three candidates for the governor of Xinjiang .As for the troops, I will hold a meeting of the Ministry of Military Affairs to consider."

The end of 1923 was still very lively.

Especially after entering November.

On November 1923, 11, after a month of trial, the Supreme Court finally made a verdict on the Anhui businessman suing the cabinet.Wang Chonghui, as the first justice and the first president of the court after the court became independent, made a judgment on this case.

The cabinet had issued an order three years ago that local governments have no right to develop minerals without permission.Therefore, the mineral development agreement signed by the Japanese businessman, the Anhui businessman and the Yangtze River inspector is illegal, invalid and has no legal effect.

There is therefore nothing legally wrong with the Cabinet annulling these agreements and taking back the title to the minerals.

As for the claims of Anhui businessmen, they are not clear about these.They signed a legitimate contract with the Yamen of the Yangtze River Tourist Envoy, and they advocated that the cabinet return their shares in the mine, but the court did not support it.Because the ownership of these minerals was sold to Japanese businessmen and Anhui businessmen at a low price by the Yangtze River patrol, it was seriously undervalued and sold at a low price.The funds invested by these businessmen are seriously inconsistent with the value of the shares they own.

But Wang Chonghui, as the president of the court, finally told the cabinet that these businessmen had invested money after all.Although there is no need to return the shares, according to their investment, a part of the funds should be returned morally.

Of course it's not a verdict.

This is just a suggestion.

At the final trial, Yang Yongtai personally participated as a cabinet representative.Finally, the cabinet will reassess this part of the assets.Although the cabinet won the case, the cabinet will also be considerate of these businessmen and will refund them appropriately.

So far, the sensational Anhui businessman's case against the cabinet has officially come to an end.Compared with the sensation at the beginning, the final ending is much flatter.

However, the influence of this case is not over yet, and the government is making frequent moves.

At present, the only local prince, and the only Xinjiang governor who still controls the local military administration, Yang Zengxin, finally accepted the cabinet's order. On November 1923, 11, the cabinet ordered Yang Zengxin to step down from his post as the governor of Xinjiang and return to Beijing to report on his duties. There will be new arrangements.

At the same time as this order, the cabinet spoke highly of Yang Zengxin's work in Xinjiang.It is believed that he has made great contributions to the stability of the local order in Xinjiang and the defense of the frontier.He even finally said that Yang Zengxin's contribution to keeping Xinjiang was due to Sheji.

Yang Zengxin quickly accepted the cabinet's order.

Then the cabinet submitted a list of three candidates for the governor of Xinjiang.

Yang Feixia, Fan Yaonan, Jin Shuren.

Here Yang Feixia is Yang Zengxin's cousin, and Fan Yaonan is Dihua (Urumqi) Daotai, Director of Military Affairs, and Director of Foreign Affairs.These two people are well-known in Xinjiang.

It is said in Xinjiang that Yang Zengxin is "Fan Yaonan in literature and Yang Feixia in martial arts", so that Xinjiang can be kept and stabilized.

The two of them are Yang Zengxin's right-hand men.

But the relationship between the two of them and Yang Zengxin is not very good.Although Yang Feixia is Yang Zengxin's cousin, she is from the Revolutionary Party.A native of Mengzi, Yunnan, he was selected as a scholar at a very young age, and later studied in the Yunnan Normal School.Before finishing his studies, he was sent to study in Japan by the government to study railway engineering technology.However, he joined the Tongmenghui in Japan and changed his studies to the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy.

After graduation, he returned to China to contact the Revolutionary Party and participated in the Huanghuagang Uprising.After the Revolution of 1912, in early [-], he was appointed by the Nanjing government as the Lieutenant General of the President, and entered Xinjiang in this name.

Because he was Yang Zengxin's cousin and a representative of the Nanjing government, Yang Zengxin appointed him as the border envoy of Yili Town.Not only stabilized Yili, but also guarded Yili, making great achievements in defending the frontier.Over the past decade or so, Yili has received many external threats.But Yang Feixia sits in Yili, so Yili is safe and secure.

But after all, he was born in the Revolutionary Party, and his political views are different from Yang Zengxin's, so the relationship has not been good.This year, I resigned and stayed at home.

The same is true for Fan Yaonan.

Fan Yaonan is a graduate of Waseda University in Japan. He entered Xinjiang during the Xinjiang New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty. He served as the head of the local prosecutor's office and a teacher of the government affairs school. He is very familiar with Xinjiang.After the Revolution of 1917, he entered Beijing as Secretary of the State Council. In [-], Zhang Guogan, head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, recommended Fan Yaonan to re-enter Xinjiang as Aksu Daoyin.

Fan Yaonan is capable of writing and martial arts, and is very capable.He has trained troops for local stability, established a judicial system in Xinjiang, and negotiated with foreign countries on behalf of Xinjiang when the border was unstable.Not only is his ability so outstanding, but he is also an upright and honest official, with a good official reputation and folk reputation.And he is also the leader of Xinjiang Xinxue.

Most of the current development of new learning in Xinjiang is due to Fan Yaonan.But because Yang Zengxin suppressed the development of new learning, the relationship with Yang Zengxin was not good.

Funny thing.

Yang Zengxin's two most powerful subordinates, his right-hand man and right-hand man, did not have a good relationship with Yang Zengxin.In recent years, the two have slowly begun to fade out of Yang Zengxin's power arena.Yang Feixia resigned at home, and Fan Yaonan is currently only holding the position of Di Huayi, and Yang Zengxin dismissed all other positions.

But Jin Shuren is different.

He was a school student of Yang Zengxin when he was in Gansu. When Yang Zengxin entered Xinjiang, he came to Xinjiang together. He was single-handedly selected by Yang Zengxin.Currently serving as the director of the Xinjiang Government Affairs Department, he has become Yang Zengxin's most trusted person.

Yang Zengxin finally recommended the three of them as candidates.

On November 1923, 11, the cabinet appointed Fan Yaonan as the governor of Xinjiang Province and Yang Feixia as the governor of Xinjiang.All the current troops in Xinjiang will be transferred to local troops and will be under the command of Yang Feixia.

On the contrary, Jin Shuren was criticized by the cabinet.

Jinshu people are required to quit opium smoking within half a year.If successful, another appointment will be made.If you can't quit smoking, then leave politics altogether.

At the same time, Sun Zhen was appointed as the commander of the Xinjiang Corps and led two divisions to station in Xinjiang.

Of course not going in now.

Because it is winter now, it is very difficult to enter Xinjiang.So Sun Zhen needs to send an advance team to enter Xinjiang in advance.The main force of this established Xinjiang Corps will enter Xinjiang in April and May next year.Before these troops entered Xinjiang, Yang Feixia, who served as the governor of Xinjiang, was fully in charge of military affairs in Xinjiang.

On November 1923, 11, Fan Yaonan and Yang Feixia accepted the order of the cabinet and formally assumed the posts of governor of Xinjiang and governor of Xinjiang.Yang Zengxin had already left Xinjiang at this time.

So far, Xinjiang has completely ended the era of Yang Zengxin.

Start by taking orders from the cabinet.

This is a big event, even though it happened in remote Xinjiang.But for many people in China, this incident is definitely worthy of a close-up.

Because so far, the Beijing government has completed real unification, not nominal unification.

The last local princes in China disappeared.

While many newspapers are vigorously writing about this time, the actions of the cabinet continue. On December 1923, 12, the cabinet announced that within three years, the cabinet would cooperate with Jilin Province to invest 3 million yuan in Harbin to carry out a major renovation of the city of Harbin.

It is planned to turn Harbin into the trade center of Northeast China.

At the same time, China Bank of Communications, China Commercial Bank, China Savings Bank, China Construction Bank, and China Commercial Bank all quickly announced that they would establish the largest branch in Northeast China in Harbin.

After these banks announced their presence in Harbin, the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Railways also announced that starting next year, both departments will plan more railways and highways around Harbin to develop Harbin's transportation.

All of a sudden, Harbin, a northeastern city, has attracted the attention of the whole country.

Many trading companies at home and abroad, even many foreign firms, quickly decided to set up their branches in Harbin.This is the case in China.

Government decisions matter.

Where two places have the same foundation, whichever one is supported by the government will develop rapidly.Now that the cabinet has decided to build Harbin into the trade center of Northeast China, the development of Harbin can be imagined.

Say nothing else.

The entry of so many institutions will greatly promote the development of Harbin.And once the cabinet decides, many departments of the cabinet, as well as local governments, will pay attention to this place.

The prosperity of Harbin is just around the corner.
