Beiyang reactionaries

"The war to protect the country has been over for almost seven or eight months, but the dispute between the government and court has become more and more fierce. It has caused difficulties for the country, and it is not a blessing for the country."

Wang Yongjiang was very angry.

Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui are not ordinary people, they are big figures in charge of the current political situation in China.Originally, many things in the country were waiting for the two of them to decide.But now the two of them are at odds, and they are fighting more and more fiercely.

Li Yuanhong supported it, but Duan Qirui opposed it.Duan Qirui supported it, but Li Yuanhong opposed it.

Political views?

Think more.

Now Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui have completely fallen into a battle of spirits.The two of them don't care what the content of the proposal is now, as long as it is proposed by Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui will definitely oppose it.Li Yuanhong definitely objected to Duan Qirui's proposal.As for the reasons for support and opposition, both of them have huge staff groups and can always find reasons.Even if sometimes both parties have the same views on a matter, if one person puts forward an opinion first, then the other person will definitely express the opposite opinion.Now they don't discuss the matter itself, but argue with each other.

The results of it?

If these two people go on like this, nothing can be done well.The work of the central government has basically been unable to continue, and the work of the government is at a standstill.Now that so many local warlords are involved, what can be done in this situation.

"Mr. Wang, I don't want to hear your sighs now. Tell me what should I do?"

disappointment.

For a scholar like Wang Yongjiang, it is indeed very disappointing.They all expect China to be stable and China to develop.After the Revolution of [-], they looked forward to Yuan Shikai.After the War to Protect the Country, they looked forward to Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui.But this kind of expectation is broken again and again, which makes everyone disappointed again and again.

But Duan Xun is not looking for them today to make them angry.

Duan Xun hoped that they would give him a suggestion.In a few months there will be the restoration of Zhang Xun, followed by the Dharma Protection Movement.At that time, it is impossible to leave Sichuan anyway.

So Duan Xun just wanted to stabilize for a few months.

"It's not right about people."

Deng Hanxiang spoke beside him.

"Ming Jie (Deng Hanxiang), specifically?"

"General, the general's background determines that the general can only stand on the side of Chief Duan in this battle between the government and the court. Regardless of what he thinks in his heart, the general can only support Chief Duan. It is also important for the general to be able to secure his position as the governor of Sichuan." Because of Chief Duan’s support. Therefore, the general has no other choice at this time. He must support Chief Duan, and he must also support Chief Duan with a clear-cut stand. And although the battle between the government and court is very lively, Li Huangpi (Li Yuanhong) has limited strength after all, absolutely not Chief Duan's opponent, this battle between the government and court must be Chief Duan's victory. So the general must not hesitate now, and must support Chief Duan, there is no room for consideration."

"kindness."

Of course Duan Xun knew this.

Duan Xun's current foundation in Sichuan is not because of Duan Xun's strength, but because of Duan Qirui's support.Without Duan Qirui's support, it would be very difficult for Duan Xun to secure a firm foothold in Sichuan.

Regardless of the fact that Duan Xun currently has tens of thousands of troops in Sichuan, if Duan Qirui really does not support Duan Xun, then there are ways to get Duan Xun to leave Sichuan.So no matter what I support, I must support Duan Qirui.

And Deng Hanxiang was right.

Don't look at the battle between the court and the court, it's very lively.It even seems that the two sides are evenly matched, but in fact Li Yuanhong himself is limited in strength, except for the name of the president, he is basically a polished commander.If it weren't for the great momentum of the War to Protect the Country and the support of the Southern Warlords, how could he have become the President of the Republic of China.He is now a justifiable president, if he hadn't been slapped to death by Duan Qirui so early.

In terms of strength, Li Yuanhong can't keep up with Duan Qirui even if he flatters him.

"However, the impact of this dispute between the government and the court is so bad that the whole of China is paying attention. Many people have criticized the way Chief Duan mobilized the governors from all over the country to put pressure on Li Huangpi (Li Yuanhong). Many people think that this is a typical soldier. Interfering in politics. Although all parts of China are originally managed by local military governors, the governors of various places are almost decorations. However, what the local military governors have done this time is too blatant. Therefore, public opinion has always had a negative view of the military governors , not only public opinion, many politicians are also very critical of these warlords."

Deng Hanxiang's words made Yang Wei and Wang Yongjiang beside him nod.

Soldiers in politics?

This is the most taboo thing for all readers.Since ancient times, Chinese scholars have been very opposed to military intervention in politics.Although after the Revolution of [-], the situation of military intervention in politics has been fully formed.

But with the improvement of various institutions of the Beiyang government, at least on the surface everyone is still kind.

However, Duan Qirui set a very bad precedent in this dispute between the government and court.Originally, it was only the conflict between Li Yuanhong's presidential palace and Duan Qirui's prime minister's palace, but it should never have spread to other places.However, in order to put pressure on Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui actually manipulated more than half of the local warlords in the world to let them come out to oppose Li Yuanhong blatantly.

"I heard that Prime Minister Duan wanted to unify China by force and complete the unification of China's government and military orders. But this time he used the local warlords to put pressure on Li Huangpi, but left countless troubles. These local warlords have tasted the power of blackmailing the central government. After the sweetness, if there is any dissatisfaction in the future, it will definitely follow suit. How will it be resolved? How to unify government orders and military orders? At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, General He Jin used the local princes to get rid of the power of eunuchs. Years of melee. Premier Duan's current approach is different from that of He Jin at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

Duan Xun listened carefully to Deng Hanxiang's words.

Eastern Han Dynasty?He Jin?

Although it seems that the things the two of them do are not too different, they really can't be compared.

Duan Qirui is much better than He Jin.He Jin is a pighead, he used the local princes to eradicate the eunuchs, and instead paid himself for it.But Duan Qirui is smarter than him, more powerful than him, more prestigious than him, and more cunning than him.Duan Qirui used the local governor to oppress Li Yuanhong, making Li Yuanhong retreat step by step.Later, when the conflict became unreconcilable, he encouraged the second idiot Zhang Xun to lead troops into Beijing to expel Li Yuanhong.Then he immediately called on the army of the world to expel Zhang Xun, and transformed himself into a hero of "rebuilding the republic", while Zhang Xun, the second idiot, became the old man who everyone shouted and beat.

How can He Jin compare with Duan Qirui.

But what Deng Hanxiang said was correct.That is, Duan Qirui has made a very bad start now.After the Revolution of [-], the power of local vassals expanded rapidly, and became local warlords.

Sun Yat-sen's second revolution had opened the prelude to the local confrontation with the central government.However, this fledgling was directly extinguished by Yuan Shikai. On the contrary, it greatly enhanced the power of the Beiyang Army and greatly enhanced the authority of the central government.It can be said that if Yuan Shikai hadn't proclaimed himself emperor suddenly, the authority of the central government would have been quite stable.If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for Chen Heng to enter Sichuan and act recklessly, all by virtue of the strength of the central government at that time.

Moreover, after the year of [-], the provinces with more intense confrontation with the central government were all provinces controlled by the Southern Revolutionary Party, and these were all southern warlords.The Beiyang Army itself doesn't have many things in this regard.However, Duan Qirui encouraged so many local warlords this time, and they were all wealthy and well-armed Beiyang army warlords to jointly persecute Li Yuanhong, which gave these local warlords more power.

What to do from now on?

These local warlords will definitely demand more power in the future, and maybe with this incident, the local warlords will also be required to participate in central affairs.At that time, China will really mess up.

"So at this time, the general should absolutely not be a member of the warlords in these places. Regardless of whether they gather in Beijing or Xuzhou, the general must not participate. At most, they can only send representatives to participate."

"But I always have an excuse."

Duan Xun agreed with Deng Hanxiang's words.

The reputation of the Overseer Corps is not very good.Many politicians are critical of the "Overseer".At this time, Duan Xun also participated in these meetings, which was not good for Duan Xun.Duan Xun has been trying to whitewash himself recently, making his image more and more positive.The effect is still very good.

Duan Xun vigorously banned smoking, which was supported by newspapers across the country.Similarly, Duan Xun's construction in Sichuan has also been affirmed and supported by local celebrities in Sichuan.During this period of time, the relationship between Zhang Lan, Song Yuren, Xiang Chu and Duan Xun got better and better.

But once Duan Xun joined the Overseer Corps and went to Beijing with those Overseers, the positive image he had managed during this period would easily collapse again.

But Duan Xun also has difficulties.

Duan Xun's birth decision, Duan Xun must express his position, and must support Duan Qirui.If Duan Xun shrinks back at this time, how can Duan Xun explain to Duan Qirui, and what do other Beiyang Army generals think of Duan Xun.If Duan Qirui was really angry, it would not be too difficult to get rid of Duan Xun's position as the Sichuan Governor.

That's why Duan Xun was hesitant.

"General, Sichuan is newly established, and the southwest is unstable. Sichuan is the most important province in the southwest, and it is the frontier province to resist the troops of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. These Duan chiefs all know. With the relationship between the general and Duan, it is entirely possible to accommodate. But It’s just that the general won’t leave Sichuan, but at the price the general must have a clear stand.”

"how?"

"It is necessary to vigorously support some of Chief Duan's propositions. Take out a few propositions that Li Huangpi opposes, but Chief Duan strongly supports, and our side must also create momentum to support Chief Duan's propositions. The momentum must be large, just like the Governor's Army Big, even bigger than them. We must support the policies of these heads of state with great fanfare."

Duan Xun was silent.

Duan Xun already fully understood what Deng Hanxiang meant.The Overseer Corps is currently annoying, especially Chinese scholars don't like the Overseer Corps.Therefore, Duan Xun should not participate in the Overseer Group meeting.

After all, Duan Xun insisted that he was a new-style officer and a reform force of the Beiyang Army. What he did was very different from the old generals of the Beiyang Army, and he should not participate in such military affairs.In the current Beiyang Army, several young officers have their own characteristics, and each one is unique.

Including Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, Duan Xun.

Several people are different from many previous Beiyang Army officers, and the troops they build also have their own characteristics.At this time, joining the Overseer Corps by myself is not good for my reputation.
