Beiyang reactionaries

It is not a good factor for the law and order in Sichuan.In the past, in these places, as long as you passed by, you could see various Gelao halls.Sichuan is full of rivers, so shipping is relatively developed.The important docks are all controlled by the Gelaohui.

The local government has no control over the Gelaohui.Because many celebrities and even senior government officials are members of the Gelaohui.For example, Yin Changheng, as well as many revolutionary parties in Chongqing, all joined the Gelaohui back then.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to control the elder brother's association.

But this time when I entered Sichuan, I didn't see any arrogant Gelaohui along the way.Gu Pinzhen also heard in Yunnan that Duan Xun took advantage of the opportunistic opportunity of banning smoking to vigorously crack down on the elder brother associations in Sichuan, and shot hundreds of elder brother elders from all walks of life just because of the official punishment.Looking at it now, it is really not fake.

Stopping and walking along the way, Gu Pinzhen and the others walked for more than 20 days and arrived in Chengdu in almost a month.It's not that Gu Pinzhen and the others are slow, but that they will take a look at every place they go.

Not the same, totally different.

It was completely different from when the Yunnan Army entered Sichuan in the year of Xinhai.

Of course, along the way, everyone and Zhang Zizhong have been talking about some issues about the "New Three People's Principles".The generals of the Dian Army were attracted by the many contents in it, and their relationship with Zhang Zizhong was getting better and better.

This is especially true for young generals.

"General Gu, I hope you will forgive me for not being able to greet him in person."

Not long after Gu Pinzhen entered Chengdu, she saw Duan Xun waiting for her with a few people.The mood is still good.Duan Xun is currently the Superintendent of Military Affairs in Sichuan, and his status is much higher than that of Gu Pinzhen.More importantly, Duan Xun belongs to the direct line of the Beiyang Army and has no friendship with Gu Pinzhen.Gu Pinzhen was very happy to be able to save face like this.

"General Duan, you are too polite."

"General Gu is the hero of [-] who overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as it should be."

The Revolution of 66 was recognized by Yuan Shikai. The heroes of the [-] Year, regardless of whether Yuan Shikai liked it or not, on the surface gave high-ranking officials generous salaries.After Duan Xun finished speaking politely, he turned his head and said to Ye Quan: "General Ye, after I came to Sichuan, many Sichuan military officers told me about General Ye's prestige when he was in command of the [-]th Biao."

"Don't dare."

Ye Quan also answered politely.

After Ye Quan graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy that year, he served as an assistant to the Sichuan Army's coaching office in Sichuan, and passed the 66 standard.The Sichuan Army troops back then can be described as full of generals.Not to mention the Sichuan generals in the Sichuan army, among the Hakka generals alone, there is Zhu Qinglan as the commander, Cheng Qian as the staff officer, Guo Songling, Jiang Dengxuan, and Ye Quan in front of him.At that time, Ye Quan's status in the Sichuan New Army was no lower than that of Cheng Qian.

These people are all famous generals who left a great reputation in the Republic of China.

Afterwards, Duan Xuncai turned his attention to Jiang Meiling and Yang Jie, and said with a smile, "Brother Dinghe (Jiang Meiling) and Geng Guang (Yang Jie), welcome to Chengdu."

The three are classmates.

He is a classmate of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy, but because of the different camps, the paths he chooses are different.The three of them fought face to face at the Battle of Naxi during the War to Protect the Country.

Including Gu Pinzhen in front, Duan Xun's troops fought against his troops.

"Brother De Gong."

The two also nodded to Duan Xun.

Duan Xun's last gaze was on Wang Kai, and his heart was surging.After all, this is the commander-in-chief of the Republic. Although he is only a commander of the Yunnan Army now, it is a completely different feeling from meeting other people.

However, Duan Xun's current status is such that he can't do anything to him.And since coming to this world, I have seen many big people, so I didn't lose my composure.He smiled and said: "I heard that General Wang is a rising star in the Yunnan Army. You are from Sichuan, so you can go back to Sichuan. Recently, I am reorganizing the army and need a large number of officers. It happens that Li Jishen is in Chongqing. He sent me several telegrams for officers. How about it, go back to Sichuan and give you a brigade commander at Li Jishen's place."

Gu Pinzhen and Ye Quan looked at each other in blank dismay.

Duan Xun is really too defiant, digging people like this in front of him.Fortunately, Wang Kai responded with a smile: "Thank you, General Duan, for your great respect. But I am an officer of the Yunnan Army, and I need to listen to what my superiors say."

"That's a shame. Hope to have time to work together."

Duan Xun sighed.

In fact, Duan Xun never thought of poaching Wang Kai at all. Duan Xun also hoped to use Wang Kai to contact those young officers of the Yunnan Army.There are many outstanding officers in the Dian Army, all of whom are students from the same school as Wang Kai.

For example, Jin Handing, Fan Shisheng, Zhu Peide, Tang Huaiyuan, and Yang Ruxuan are all great generals in the history of the Republic of China.

Duan Xun wants to influence these young officers through Wang Kai.Through Wang Kai, he must spread his political program to the generals of the Yunnan Army.Then let there be conflicts between them and Tang Jiyao.Of course, it would be even happier if they could be secretly recruited into the People's Party.

"Several, let's go in and chat."

"it is good."

"Please."

"Please."

89 Changes in the Yunnan Army

"Several, taste my bamboo leaf green from Mount Emei, Sichuan."

tea.

Sichuan is also the hometown of tea.

Sichuan tea is still very famous in this era.Duan Xun is a warlord, a warlord with tens of thousands of troops in his hand.After coming to Sichuan, people in Sichuan were killed too.

why?

Because Duan Xun is going to hold all the valuable things in Sichuan in his own hands.First sorted out the Sichuan salt, and then sorted out the liquor industry in Sichuan, especially the liquor industry in Luzhou, and set up the Sichuan Tobacco and Alcohol Administration Bureau to fully manage the tobacco and alcohol taxes in Sichuan.

The next step is to sort out the Sichuan tea.

Tea and salt have been the most profitable business since ancient times.But Duan Xun held all the tea and salt in Sichuan in his own hands in order to make money.But before Duan Xun entered Sichuan, these money-making businesses had already been controlled by local powerful factions in Sichuan.Duan Xun now wants to take this money-making business into his own hands, which greatly offends these interests.How could they be willing.In this process, how can we not kill people.Even Duan Xun deliberately lured them to resist.

Then the army went over and bloodbathed them.

Now Duan Xun somewhat understands why the gentry in those places in history hated warlords the most.It's really because after the warlords ruled China, they didn't care how good the local gentry had a good reputation in the local area and how many connections they had in society.Get angry and send troops to slaughter them.

This is warlord.

Just like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Originally, those aristocratic families in the Eastern Han Dynasty had great power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they wanted to influence the government at that time.Later, He Jin let the king of the world, Dong Zhuo, go to Beijing.At the beginning, those aristocratic families despised a rough martial artist like Dong Zhuo.

It's a pity that they soon learned what a warlord is.

Dong Zhuo wanted to win the support of these aristocratic families at first, so he was willing to give them high officials and generous salaries, hoping that they would support him.But after finding out that they all rejected and despised him, he gave up his scruples about the aristocratic families in a rage, and began to massacre these aristocratic families.Only at this time did these aristocratic families realize that in front of warlords like Dong Zhuo, the so-called connections and fame of the aristocratic families were all nonsense.

In fact, Duan Xun is the same.

Also a warlord.

The so-called local gentry, the so-called Gelaohui, have huge connections in Sichuan, and even have enough reputation in the local area.These things are indeed a force that is difficult to shake in peaceful times.Anyone who comes here to be an official must be scruples about these things.But after entering the Republic of China, especially after Yuan Shikai died, China entered the war between warlords, and the effect of these things was greatly reduced.For a warlord like Duan Xun who is backed by the Beijing government and has his own powerful army, as long as they give Duan Xun a handle, Duan Xun dares to kill them.

Heads are rolling.

Benefits are the most important.Duan Xun's purpose is very simple, that is to unify the current finance of Sichuan, as long as it is a project that can make money, first take them back.

As for some industries that are difficult for the government to manage, they can be taken back first, and then handed over to private businessmen again.Of course, if you want to operate these industries, you need to give money to the government.This is Duan Xun's current thinking.

Therefore, at present, Sichuan tea, tobacco and wine are all collected by Duan Xun.
