Beiyang reactionaries

As for Guizhou and Hunan, there is no such concern.

The governor of Hunan is Tan Yankai, and the governor of Guizhou is Liu Xianshi, both of whom Duan Qirui took care of quickly.When Duan Xun marched into Guizhou and Hunan, he would not be pressured from above, but would get their support.As for the objections of Tan Yankai and Liu Xianshi, Duan Xun didn't care at all.Anyway, Duan Xun has a legitimate name.

It is to fight against the rebel army, and it is to oppose Zhang Xun's restoration.Entering Hunan and Guizhou by myself was just an excuse, not for occupation.With this excuse, we can openly ask them to let go of a way.When the troops enter Hunan and Guizhou and want Duan Xun to leave, it will not be so easy to talk about.And as long as the War of Protecting the Law begins and the Civil War breaks out, they and Duan Xun will be in a state of hostility, and Duan Xun can be stationed in those places justifiably.

"Liu Xiang."

"General."

"Send a brigade of troops from your third division into Hanzhong. It must be fast. I will send a telegram to Chen Shufan, the governor of Shaanxi, saying that you are the vanguard of our Sichuan rebellion army. You will go to Beijing through Shaanxi. But as long as your troops enter Hanzhong, don't continue to go north, but stay in Hanzhong for me."

"Yes."

Duan Xun never thought of fighting Chen Shufan, but just set his sights on the Hanzhong area.So use an excuse to enter Hanzhong.

Restoration of Zhang Xun?

Before other provinces across the country reacted, Duan Xun, who knew the history, was already planning how to use this incident.By the time other provinces reacted, Duan Xun had already completed his arrangement.

"All of you remember, what is needed this time is time, and your troops need to act quickly. Because it is impossible for Zhang Xun to restore the restoration for more than half a month, Prime Minister Duan will not give him more than half a month. In about ten days, Prime Minister Duan will solve this matter. So you must act quickly, and I can't find an excuse for losing this opportunity."

"Yes."

"After going back, start setting up right away. Remember, it must be quiet and don't attract the attention of others. Also, you must strengthen discipline for the troops. When entering other people's territory, be honest with me, and don't let people think that bandits are coming. .Whoever loses the chain for me will be dealt with according to the military law."

"Yes."

In troubled times, expanding the territory is the kingly way.

"Report."

"Come in."

When Duan Xun assigned the task, he heard the report of his adjutant Sun Zhen.

"what's up?"

"Mayor Jiang sent someone to look for the general."

"I see."

…………

"Brother Jing'an, I came to Chongqing this time and found that Chongqing has changed a lot in the past year. You have worked hard."

Duan Xun left the barracks and went straight to Chongqing.

Duan Xun and Jiang Hongyu are classmates and partners who started a business together.Duan Xun was very happy to see Jiang Hongyu again this time.Chongqing has changed a lot in one year, much more lively than when Duan Xun was in Chongqing.And the excitement is the excitement, it is more orderly than before.

Jiang Hongyu, the mayor of a military background, has done a very good job in Chongqing.

"It's nothing."

Jiang Hongyu shook his head.

From being a soldier to now leaving the army to serve as a local official, Jiang Hongyu has also changed a lot.Because dealing with local affairs was too trivial, and since he was an outsider after all, he needed to be calm when negotiating with local celebrities in Chongqing, so Jiang Hongyu became more and more peaceful.

"By the way, I am so anxious to find you because there are Japanese people looking for you."

"Japanese?"

"Yes."

"What do they want from me?"

Duan Xun frowned.

In fact, Duan Xun does not want to contact foreigners.In the current situation, although Duan Xun is domineering in Sichuan and even in the southwest, he is still at a disadvantage when facing foreigners.The Yangtze River Basin is the territory of the British. Of course, the French, Japanese, and Americans have also penetrated into it, but overall, the British have the upper hand.Duan Xun couldn't afford to offend them.

As long as you get in touch with them, you will definitely have to make concessions in many ways.This is what Duan Xun doesn't like very much.Therefore, Duan Xun has rarely had contact with foreigners, and has always sent people below to contact them.

"It should be for my Sichuan tung oil."

"What about it?"

"In order to negotiate with foreign companies, we in Sichuan currently control the export volume of bristles and tung oil, which has been reduced by more than half compared with the past, resulting in a sharp rise in prices outside. I am afraid that Japanese businessmen have taken advantage of this opportunity. Taking advantage of the current negotiations between us and foreign companies Opportunity, take this deal."

"The ambitions of Japanese businessmen are really big."

Duan Xun complained.

These Japanese people are really good at seeing stitches.The tung oil market in Sichuan is huge, and it can even be said that Sichuan occupies a large proportion of the global barrel oil market.Sichuan tung oil accounts for more than half of the world's barrel oil market, and Sichuan's export revenue from tung oil alone is tens of millions.In fact, if it weren't for foreign companies to keep lowering prices, the export value of Sichuan tung oil could even double.

And doing tung oil business in the middle, the profits inside are astonishing.The price difference of tung oil at home and abroad is several times.The profits of foreign firms engaged in tung oil trade are astonishing.

"Who wants to see me?"

"I don't know the details, I haven't seen it before. But judging by the actions of the person next to him, it might be a Japanese secret service organization. It was brought by the Japanese consul stationed in Chongqing."

"Anyway, they are people with rights."

"should be."

"Okay, see you then."

Duan Xun thought for a moment and nodded.It is completely impossible to be a warlord in China today if you do not collude with foreigners.None of the current big warlords, or even the Beijing government, has the support of foreigners.Duan Xun, a small warlord, is no exception.

113 The Essence of a Warlord

"General Duan, I Tsuruta Tatsuya. It is my honor to meet General Duan."

Very polite.

These Japanese don't care what they think or what kind of people they are, but they are very polite on the outside.The person who came to find Duan Xun was a 35-year-old Japanese, and when he saw Duan Xun, he began to bow continuously.Duan Xun is not used to bowing once after saying a word, and bowing once after saying a word.

But looking at him walking and the few attendants following him, Duan Xun can clearly know that these people have been trained.Even if they are not professional agents, they are definitely from the army.Duan Xun himself is a soldier. He grew up in a military academy since he was a child. He can tell whether he is a soldier or not.

And he speaks Chinese very well, just like growing up in China.

"Mr. Tsuruta, please sit down."

"Yes."

Even when he sat down, Tatsuruta bowed.And he didn't sit down until Duan Xun sat down.The surface work is definitely very good.

"Mr. Tsuruta, I am a soldier, and I only know war all my life. Therefore, I don't like talking around the bush. You must have something to do with me today. You can speak directly."

Japanese?
