Beiyang reactionaries

If it is said that Yang Wei's thoughts on Duan Xun before were just that Duan Xun is a man with a unique vision, a lot of courage, and he also has a little research on theory.So looking at Duan Xun now, it is completely different.This person is a young general with political ambitions, and not ordinary political ambitions.Of course, there are many generals with political ambitions, after all, everyone wants to be famous in history.

But Duan Xun is absolutely different from them.This is a young general with his own policy agenda.

It's a different concept altogether.Many warlords also want to climb up and enter the central organization.Otherwise, there would never have been warlord wars in history such as the Zhiwan War and the Zhifeng War for control of Beijing.

But they are only for that position, how to govern China after they get to that position, if they develop, they don't have a clear program.Duan Xun is obviously different from them, he is a young warlord with clear goals and programs.

"I have this idea, but it's not mature yet. If Mr. Yang is willing to come out to help me, then I think it will be much easier."

"General Duan, what is your goal?"

Yang Wei asked Duan Xun very seriously.

Duan Xun stood up.It was the first time that Yang Wei asked Duan Xun so seriously, so Duan Xun knew that Yang Wei had some ideas.Therefore, Duan Xun also put away his smile, and said seriously: "I am different from Mr. Zhongshan. I never thought that as long as we establish a republic, our China can become a powerful country, or I never think that as long as we have a parliament, what kind of parliament By electing these superficial things, China will be able to become a republic. Because this is all wishful thinking and a delusion that is impossible to realize.”

"I want to take it step by step. If I come to power, if I can become the president in the future. Then I will use ten years to build a strong government. A country with unified government orders, military orders, and finances. It will take another ten years. Come to unite China's power and take back the power that belongs to our country from foreigners. Including road rights, mining rights, customs, and abolishing those unequal treaties imposed on our country, abolishing those extrajudicial powers, abolishing those Concession. In another ten years, let our country gradually integrate into the world and gradually become a powerful country."

"Of course, this is all fiction, and it's just general talk. To accomplish this, you need to do the most solid homework and make the most solid plan. According to the established plan, we will build our country step by step and strengthen our country. The country. Mr. Yang, it will take at least 20 years for China to completely get rid of these foreigners, and we must not think about it in one step. Only after this step can we say that the national revolution has been initially completed.”

"As for the civil rights revolution, it will take at least 30 years. In 30 years, if China can complete the seven-year compulsory education, or complete the five-year compulsory education, then our country is not far from the success of the civil rights revolution. . But it’s just not far away, and it will take longer to be truly successful.”

"As for the people's livelihood, it goes without saying. It is easy to conquer the world immediately, but it is difficult to rule the world immediately."

Yang Wei was a little moved.

But still not sure.Duan Xun did not urge, after all, once a person like Yang Wei chooses, he will never be half-hearted.People like Yang Wei may not be as obedient as Tang Shizun, but they are definitely trustworthy.

"Teacher."

"what happened?"

"The representative of General Chengwu (Chen Heng) has arrived."

"I see."

Duan Xun turned to Yang Wei and said, "Mr. Yang, I will come to see you again in two days."

62 different expressions

"Everyone, please sit down."

Duan Xun sat on it, and the people below looked at each other in blank dismay.

Because Duan Xun actually got Chen Heng's representative and Cai E's national defense army together.Originally, Duan Xun was supposed to talk to them separately, but Duan Xun didn't care about that at all and asked them to come together.

Duan Xun looked at the hesitation of these people, and said directly: "Everyone's attitude and position are tacitly understood. I think you don't have to be hypocritical. Brother Xin (Hu Egong), you are from the Tongmenghui, a veteran revolutionary party. , What do you think in your heart, everyone knows it, and I know it too."

"General Lei (Lei Biao), you were originally appointed as the brigade commander of the Second Division of Liu Cunhou's Sichuan Army, but you said that you had a relationship with the Yunnan Army and you wanted to avoid it, so you returned to Chengdu. They launched the Chung Ninth Uprising together. Now the Dian Army starts from Cai E, and officers at all levels are either your old classmates, old superiors, or your students."

Two people came from Chen Heng's side.

One is Hu Egong and the other is Lei Biao.

Duan Xun knew the details of the two of them.In other words, Duan Xun was very clear about the staff beside Chen Heng.Not only Duan Xun, but everyone in the Sichuan military will carefully understand the details of the people around Chen Heng.Who told Chen Heng to be the military affairs supervisor in Sichuan and the highest-ranking person in Sichuan.The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, Chen Heng's staff are of course also very important figures in Sichuan.Some time ago, I kicked Xiong Xiangsheng out of Luzhou, but Chen Heng remained silent.

Unexpectedly, it was Hu Egong and Lei Biao who came this time.

"Both of you are opposed to the imperial system. I hope that General Chengwu (Chen Heng) can send a telegram to oppose Yuan. Now you are here together to hear my thoughts and see what I mean."

Hu Egong and Lei Biao didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Because Duan Xun really didn't play his cards according to the routine.This kind of thing can be known to everyone, bargain slowly, and see what everyone is thinking.This is the basic step.

Duan Xun was right.

Chen Heng wanted to see Duan Xun's thoughts and test Duan Xun's attitude.Let's see if Duan Xun wants to protect Yuan or oppose Yuan.Only when he clearly knew what Duan Xun was thinking, could Chen Heng make the next move.It is really because Duan Xun is the strongest in Sichuan now.

But as soon as Duan Xun came, he directly revealed the cards of both sides.

Duan Xun ignored them and turned his attention to another one, Duan Xun's old classmate Jiang Meiling.As Cai E's representative, Jiang Meiling came to Luzhou again.Duan Xun did not meet them separately, but met them together directly.

Because everyone is familiar with it.

Jiang Meiling and Lei Biao had fought in the Yunnan Army together, while Hu Egong and Deng Hanxiang next to Duan Xun were both from Hubei. They both worked for Li Yuanhong and had known each other for many years.

At this moment, Duan Xun has no time to play around with them.Or at this moment, Duan Xun no longer cares about Chen Heng or Cai E.Duan Xun, who holds a heavy army, now holds a pivotal position in Sichuan and can directly affect the situation in Sichuan.

Therefore, there is no fear at all for Chen Heng, the empty warlord, and Cai E, the commander of the National Defense Army.

"I, Duan Xun, are just a soldier. I have no interest in the monarchy or the republic. It should be said that I don't understand these things. I am just a soldier who obeys orders. I don't interfere with how General Chengwu (Chen Heng) chooses, and I can't interfere. I am not interested in knowing how the National Defense Army wants to fight. How to fight is your business. But I only have one idea, that is, I am stationed in Luzhou now, and Luzhou is my territory. From Neijiang to Longchang, from Longchang Go to Rongchang, Yongchuan, Hejiang, and go south to Naxi. This is the place I protect. Anyone who dares to be interested in this area is my enemy. This includes the National Defense Army and Chengwu General."

Duan Xun was so strong that Hu Egong, Lei Biao, and Jiang Meiling all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Duan Xun's meaning is very simple.

This area of ​​Luzhou is mine.

Not to mention Cai E's national defense army, even Chen Heng, the Sichuan governor, can't get involved.Offended by both sides, what kind of strength is this.Hu Egong, Lei Biao, including Duan Xun's classmate Jiang Meiling, did not expect Duan Xun to have such an attitude before they came.

"Xin Sanxiong (Hu Egong), General Lei (Lei Biao), go back and tell General Chengwu (Chen Heng). I will not interfere with any decision he makes, as long as he doesn't disturb my Luzhou. Brother Dinghe (Jiang Meiling), you Also go back and tell Cai E. He can do whatever he likes, but as long as the Yunnan army dares to step into Naxi, then he will declare war on me, and we will compete on the battlefield."

Duan Xun clearly told both parties.

I don't care about anything, I only want Luzhou now.

"Degong (Duan Xun), the First Army of the National Defense Army currently has tens of thousands of troops in the direction of Naxi, and now the first echelon regiment has been mobilized from Syria, which adds up to tens of thousands of troops .And the Xiong Kewu Department has amassed nearly 5000 Sichuan Army troops. Are you really sure you want to go to war with us? To maintain Yuan Shikai's position as emperor, do you think it is worthwhile to die so many people?"

Jiang Meiling still wanted to persuade Duan Xun.

Cai E and Luo Peijin came over to take a look at the situation in Naxi.Not to mention the defensive position of Duan Xun's troops in Naxi, the terrain of Naxi itself is not suitable for attacking, and it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.Once there is a fight, there must be heavy casualties.

Moreover, Cai E's troops don't have that much ammunition, which can sustain a big battle.

So they still hope to resolve the current problem peacefully with Duan Xun.Duan Xun glanced at Jiang Meiling and sneered in his heart.Cai E has an idea of ​​how many troops he has. Jiang Meiling said that Cai E has tens of thousands of troops. This is not a joke.Cai E even added that his first echelon regiment in Syria did not have 1 people. As for the lack of weapons and ammunition for Xiong Kewu's thousands of troops, Duan Xun didn't take it to heart at all.

But everyone negotiated, Jiang Meiling boasted about the strength of the National Defense Army, Duan Xun didn't care.

"Brother Dinghe, I told you a long time ago. I don't want to fight with your Yunnan army. But if your Yunnan army insists on going through Luzhou, then I'm sorry. I will never let Luzhou out. You can choose to enter from Guizhou I don’t care about Hunan, or attacking Qijiang. I won’t send a single soldier. But Luzhou can’t.”

"Degong, you are embarrassing us. Luzhou is the southern gate of Sichuan. If Luzhou is not captured, how will we enter Sichuan?"

"That's your business."

Duan Xun is very tough.

At this time, Duan Xun was not only tough on Cai E, but also tough on Chen Heng.Duan Xunfang, no one can let Cai E enter Sichuan.Because once the momentum of the war to protect the country becomes bigger, Cai E will be famous all over the world.

If Cai E's troops enter Sichuan, Cai E's momentum will be even greater, and he will definitely be famous all over the world.Then Duan Qirui, who came out of the mountain again, may compromise in order to appease these southern troops and assign Sichuan to the Yunnan Army.Once that happened, all of Duan Xun's plans would fail.Sichuan Duan Xun will never let it out, because this is the base that Duan Xun thought of.So Duan Xun wants to fight Cai E head-on and beat Cai E down.If Duan Xun wants to keep Sichuan, Cai E's troops must never enter Sichuan.Only in this way, Duan Qirui will not give in to Cai E and the others.
