Beiyang reactionaries

90 Yang Jie

"Brother Geng Guang (Yang Jie), how is it in the Yunnan Army?"

"is acceptable."

After eating and drinking with Gu Pinzhen and the others in the evening, Duan Xun will have a detailed discussion with Gu Pinzhen on the smoking ban the next day.Therefore, Gu Pinzhen, Ye Quan and others went back to the house first, and they had to discuss with each other.And Duan Xun met and talked with Jiang Meiling and Yang Jie.

Jiang Meiling and Duan Xun met several times a while ago, but Yang Jie hadn't seen him for many years.

Yang Jie is a scholar.

Not the nerdy type, but definitely someone who prefers to read.Of course, his reading is not useless, on the contrary, Yang Jie is very good.During the War to Protect the Nation, Yang Jie served as the chief of staff for Huang Yucheng and formed an army.

Most of the recruits.

But it was such a force that Huang Yucheng and Yang Jie built into a strong force of the Yunnan Army, and it performed very well in Guangxi during the War to Protect the Nation.At that time, Yang Jie was mainly responsible for training recruits.You can see Yang Jie's ability.

"Brother Geng Guang, when will you learn this hypocritical answer."

"Brother De Gong (Duan Xun), why did you say that?"

"It doesn't need to be like this between you and me. I know everything about you and Huang Yucheng, as well as between you and Yang Sen. By the way, I heard that Beijing invited you to go north to serve as the military advisor of the presidential palace and the adviser of the army department .”

Yang Jie is a scholar, so he has a bookish spirit.

During the War to Protect the Nation, Yang Jie was the Chief of Staff of Huang Yucheng's Department.And Huang Yucheng valued one person very much, that is Yang Sen, a general from Sichuan.Originally, Yang Sen and Liu Xiang were classmates, but Yang Sen was the fastest in promotion.However, when Yang Sen was in the army, he was squeezed out by Liu Xiang, Tang Shizun, and Wang Yanxu, so he defected to the Yunnan Army and became the battalion commander under Huang Yucheng.But Yang Jie was angry about his book business, but he didn't like Yang Sen very much, especially because Yang Sen was still an opium smoker.

So Yang Jie couldn't understand it even more.

Not long after the War to Protect the Nation ended, about half a year ago, on a certain day, Yang Jie took out Yang Sen who was smoking opium, beat him up, and took him paraded through the streets.Yang Sen was so humiliated that he quit opium so far.However, Yang Jie's actions offended Huang Yucheng and Yang Sen immediately.

What happened to smoking opium?

Not a few generals of the Yunnan Army smoked opium.In fact, in a few years, those young officers who are now filled with righteous indignation and demanded that the Yunnan Army ban opium and crack down on the opium trade will all learn to smoke opium.

Isn't it just smoking opium, why do you, Yang Jie, humiliate people like this.Yang Jie is not an unknown person in the Dian army, but he is an important figure in Huang Yucheng's army.Therefore, Huang Yucheng could only transfer Yang Sen to Zhao Youxin.

But at this time, Huang Yucheng was holding back his anger, after all, Yang Jie forced his favorite general away.Therefore, after this incident happened, Yang Jie was very repelled among Huang Yucheng's troops.

Fortunately, Yang Jie has a high degree of education and good grades. Many people have heard of Yang Jie's name.Therefore, after Li Yuanhong became the president, he sent an invitation to Yang Jie.Invite Yang Jie to come to Beijing to serve as a military advisor to his presidential palace.

"Yes."

"Are you ready to go?"

"Well. After finishing the things here, I will go north."

"Brother Geng Guang, I still want to advise you, you still have to be cautious when going north. Now is not a good opportunity, and it can even be said to be the worst time."

Duan Xun persuaded Yang Jie.

Yang Jie smiled and said: "Brother Degong (Duan Xun), I know the relationship between you and Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui). But I am going to the Presidential Palace, I believe I can play my role better."

Duan Xun shook his head.

He looked at Jiang Meiling who was sitting on the side and kept silent, then turned his head to Yang Jie and said, "The three of us are classmates. There are some things I shouldn't say to others, but I'll just say it to you two. The dispute between the court and the court is currently Li Huangpi (Li Yuanhong) and Chief Duan are constantly arguing. Unless one party falls, this dispute cannot end. But I can tell the two of them very clearly that the one who will fall in the end must be Li Huangpi. "

"De Gong, are you so sure?"

Jiang Meiling, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

Duan Xun nodded and said: "I am indeed Chief Duan's person, but it's not because of this that I speak for him. It's because Chief Duan now has the right time, place and people. As early as the year of [-], the "temporary agreement" determined that China China's political system is the cabinet responsibility system. After Yuan Xiangcheng abolished the imperial system, he also announced that China's political system is the cabinet responsibility system. Mr. Duan is now the prime minister of the state, so he is in charge of government affairs and the head of the government. Look at half of the world's military governors They are all the warlords of our Beiyang Army, especially the warlords of the northern provinces are all from our Beiyang Army or those who are attached to our Beiyang Army, and most of them are the people of Chief Duan. Two people are in a head-on conflict. How can Li Huangpi, the polished commander, Victory. And even if Li Huangpi wins in the end, Brother Geng Guang (Yang Jie) what use is it for you to serve as the so-called military advisor of the presidential palace in the past. You will only be involved in the vortex between the two sides. In the dispute between the court Among them, what else can you use?"

Yang Jie was silent.

What Duan Xun said was indeed what Yang Jie was most worried about.Now Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui are playing very lively. At this time, a little shrimp like Yang Jie can do anything in the past.Maybe when Duan Qirui got angry, he slapped Yang Jie to death first.

Li Yuanhong is the president, so Duan Qirui can only use other means to force him.But Duan Qirui doesn't even need to shoot Yang Jie and other small shrimps, and the people under him can easily kill them.

Duan Xun continued: "Brother Geng Guang, you know what happened in the second year of the Republic of China."

"you are right……"

"The matter of Jiang Baili. At that time, Yuan Xiangcheng (Yuan Shikai) and Chief Duan competed with each other because of the Ministry of the Army. Yuan Xiangcheng wanted to use Jiang Baili to control Baoding Military Academy, which cut off Chief Duan's great power. But what happened?"

Jiang Baili.

The reputation is not small.

However, since returning to China after graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, it can be said that he has hit a wall everywhere, or basically he has not done anything.After graduating from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy and returning to China, he was spotted by Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces at the time, and came to the Northeast Lecture Hall.

But in the Northeast Lecture Hall, it was not good to be run over by a few bandits from the Northeast Patrol Battalion.Those people think that Jiang Baili is young, has never led a soldier, and is a little white-faced scholar.So these officers from the Northeast Patrol Battalion, who were originally from bandits, made a big noise in the martial arts hall, making it impossible to hold classes in the martial arts hall.Jiang Baili, a student who has never led a soldier and has just graduated from a military academy, has no ability to manage these bandit-born patrol battalion commanders.In the end, Zhao Erxun had no choice but to let Jiang Baili go to Germany to study and continue his studies.It can be regarded as calming down the matter of the Martial Arts Hall in the Northeast.

After several years in Germany, Jiang Baili returned to China in the late Qing Dynasty and served as a councilor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a period of time.

Later succeeded Zhao Litai as the second principal of Baoding Military Academy.The reason why he served as the principal of Baoding Military Academy was that Yuan Shikai meant to weaken Duan Qirui's strength.As the principal of Baoding Military Academy, Jiang Baili was directly involved in the competition between Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui.Where Baoding Military Academy is, it is Duan Qirui's territory, and it has always been controlled by Duan Qirui and his direct descendants.You are a scholar who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. You want to manage the Baoding Military Academy by yourself. This is not a joke.

Therefore, Duan Qirui did not cooperate with Jiang Baili in all aspects, and Jiang Baili could not continue his work at all.For Duan Qirui to deal with a small Jiang Baili, as long as he did a little work in logistics, Jiang Baili was completely helpless.In the end, Jiang Baili committed an astonishing suicide.It was a sensation at the time, and the whole of China paid attention.But after paying attention, there is no after, and it ends like this.

"Brother Geng Guang, tell me yourself? Do you think your reputation is higher than that of Jiang Baili back then? Or do you think Li Huangpi (Li Yuanhong) is stronger than Yuan Xiangcheng back then? Or do you think the current Chief Duan is not as powerful as him?" In the beginning?"

Yang Jie couldn't answer every sentence of question.

Yes.

What was Yuan Shikai's status in the second year of the Republic of China, no matter in terms of strength or prestige, it was the time when he was in full swing.And what is Li Yuanhong now.At that time, Yuan Shikai was the boss of the Beiyang Army, and Li Yuanhong is now the polished commander.Jiang Baili was definitely more famous than Yang Jie at the time.

But the result?

With Yuan Shikai's status at the time, he was not able to keep Jiang Baili.Duan Qirui made a little trick, and Jiang Baili couldn't stay in Baoding Military Academy. In the end, Yuan Shikai could only let Qu Tongfeng, Duan Qirui's direct line, take charge of Baoding Military Academy.

The current Li Yuanhong is the false president, but Duan Qirui is stronger than the second year of the Republic of China.

"But……"

Yang Jie has a headache.

My relationship with the Yunnan Army has broken down. Although relying on my relationship with some generals of the Yunnan Army, it is not impossible to continue to stay in the Yunnan Army.But Yang Jie couldn't understand many things about Tang Jiyao, and didn't want to stay in the Yunnan Army.

Originally, he was ready to agree to Li Yuanhong.

But when Duan Xun said this, Yang Jie hesitated.It's not that Yang Jie's ears are soft, but that Duan Xun is right.Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui are now fighting more and more fiercely. Those under Duan Qirui have called several times for meetings with the warlords, that is, the warlord regiments.

Duan Qirui wants to use the warlord regiment to put pressure on Li Yuanhong.

"Brother Geng Guang (Yang Jie), you may have heard of some things, but you definitely don't know the specific things. Let me tell you about our State Council Secretary-General Xu Shuzheng, this is our senior, I believe You have all seen it when you were in Japan. This person is domineering. He didn’t even give Yuan Xiangcheng face back then, and now he doesn’t even pay attention to Li Huangpi. What’s the use of you going there to serve as a military advisor to the President’s Palace? And let you serve as an adviser to the Army Department? The Army Department is the territory of Chief Duan. If you go there to serve as an adviser, what do you say you can do. Xu Shuzheng is someone who doesn’t even care about the president. If you go there, Xu Shuzheng can still listen to you No?"

"Yes. In fact, I also oppose Geng Guang (Yang Jie) going north."
