Beiyang reactionaries

So he wondered.

Guo Xiren just stared at Yang Yongtai, Yang Yongtai did not avoid Guo Xiren's gaze at all, and said with a smile: "What do you think of our general?"

"Has a good reputation for benevolence and righteousness, but is not pedantic, and dares to use thunderbolt methods, a hero in troubled times."

Guo Xiren pronounced every word very clearly, and his tone was low.Before meeting Duan Xun, Guo Xiren couldn't tell what kind of person Duan Xun was.But after this brief encounter, Guo Xiren only had one thought.

This is a hero.

He is definitely a hero in troubled times, and he is a person who does big things.

Yang Yongtai smiled slightly when he heard Guo Xiren's evaluation, and said: "Our general emphasizes benevolence and righteousness. There is no one in China who values ​​military discipline and people's livelihood more than our general. Our general has a bottom line, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, etc. The income from opium in the three provinces is outrageously high, but our general will not earn this ignorant money. Instead, he strictly bans smoking. Similarly, our general has a far-sighted vision. We are in a remote place in the southwest, but we are well aware of the development of the world situation. And our general is never blind , Do everything with a plan, and follow the plan step by step. But it is not pedantic, but it is steady and sharp, and dares to confront the British. Brother Xi (Guo Xiren), if you think our general is a hero, then you should know us The ambition of the general. Our general has only one goal from the beginning to the end, and that is to go to that position in Beijing and unify China's government and military orders."

Now that Duan Xun has come to this position, his ambition is already obvious.

Even Duan Qirui and the others knew that Duan Xun must not be willing to spend his whole life in a remote place in the southwest.After all, Duan Xun is only 30 years old and is already the overlord of the Southwest, with 20 soldiers under his command.How could such a person be willing to spend his whole life in the southwest.But Duan Qirui is not afraid of Duan Xun.Because Duan Qirui is 53 years old this year, he is not young according to this age.

Duan Qirui also has to consider the successor of his own faction.

Let Duan Xun exercise for ten years, and Duan Qirui will really grow old after ten years.Duan Xun can succeed Duan Qirui and continue to lead the current faction forward. This is something Duan Qirui can accept.So as long as Duan Xun doesn't do too much, Duan Qirui will not suppress Duan Xun.

Because Duan Qirui also needs young generals like Duan Xun to succeed him.Among the current Anhui faction, Xu Shuzheng and Duan Xun are considered the most outstanding young generals.He is also the most promising successor to Duan Qirui.

Yang Yongtai also directly told Guo Xiren that Duan Xun is an ambitious person.

In other words, Duan Xun is a person with lofty ideals.

"Brother Xi, since our general is aiming at the position of Beijing, we will naturally not do things that break our promises, especially things that break promises. And brother Xi, tell yourself, who is more important between 800 million and Shaanxi? "

Guo Xiren suddenly laughed.

Because Yang Yongtai's last sentence made Guo Xiren irrefutable. 800 million and Shaanxi, who is more important?Anyone can weigh this clearly.To win Shaanxi is to win a province in the northwest, where 800 million can be measured.

"General Duan, you are really generous."

Guo Xiren also admired Duan Xun.

Although if many people choose 800 million and Shaanxi, they will definitely choose Shaanxi.But under the current circumstances, Duan Xun is probably the only one who dares to boast of investing 800 million for the sake of Shaanxi, which is not yet known whether it can really be won.

Duan Xun really rebuilt Northwest University, and told everyone that he would invest 800 million in education in Shaanxi. It is estimated that he will get unanimous support from the academic circles in Shaanxi.Including those in Shaanxi political circles, there will definitely be a large number of people who will vote for Duan Xun.

This is the means.

Only when there is sacrifice can there be gains, and only when there is great effort can there be great gains.

Even if many people know this, they may not dare to do it.But Duan Xun dared to do it, dared to use 800 million to buy people's hearts.

"Tell me, what do you mean by looking for me today?"

Guo Xiren was really convinced.

Guo Xiren has also met many local princes over the years, and even met many high-ranking officials in Beijing.But Duan Xun's generosity is absolutely impossible to find.

In terms of layout, Chen Shufan can't compare with Duan Xun at all.Although Chen Shufan still has some influence, as long as Duan Xun lifts the ban on him, he can still jump when he comes out.But Guo Xiren can already be sure at this time that the future of Shaanxi is not destined to belong to Chen Shufan.

Because Chen Shufan's structure is too low, how can he compare with Duan Xun.

Even if Chen Shufan came out to jump, he couldn't be Duan Xun's opponent.Duan Xun did such a thing, Chen Shufan never dared to think about it in his life.

"Brother Xi, our general will do what we say. To rebuild Northwest University, our general must make Northwest University a first-class university in China. I am here today to hope that Brother Xi can help introduce good teachers. Only good teachers can have good teachers. Only students can make a good university. And I also hope that Brother Xi can call together the teachers of Shaanxi academic circles to discuss how to form a new Northwest University. Of course, in addition to discussing how to rebuild Northwest University, everyone also discusses how to use it. This 800 million is used to develop education in Shaanxi."

"call--"

Guo Xiren breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I am the director of the Shaanxi Education Department. I am obliged to do these things. Don't worry, I will immediately call the gentlemen in Xi'an to discuss the rebuilding of Northwest University. And plan the development of education in Shaanxi. plan."

Guo Xiren is a pragmatist, not an idealist.

In the early years, Guo Xiren was a constitutionalist, but when he found that constitutionalism was not feasible, he immediately joined the Tongmenghui and wanted to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.In order to win over a constitutional leader like Guo Xiren, the Shaanxi League even made him the head of the Shaanxi branch of the League.

After the Revolution of [-], Guo Xiren first served as the director of Zhang Fenghui's government affairs department, helping Zhang Fenghui handle government affairs.Later when Lu Jianzhang entered Shaanxi, he chose to study abroad.After Lu Jianzhang was expelled, Guo Xiren defected to Chen Shufan.

With the rise of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army, they all hoped that Guo Xiren could support the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army.However, Guo Xiren believed that war would not be good for Shaanxi, so he kept mediating between Chen Shufan and the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army, but failed.

This is Guo Xiren.

He just wants to do things and doesn't mind who he works for.

Guo Xiren himself doesn't like Chen Shufan, but Chen Shufan's place is relatively stable and allows him to start working.So Guo Xiren agreed to work with Chen Shufan.Now that Guo Xiren discovered that Duan Xun could bring more benefits to Shaanxi, he was immediately willing to contribute to Duan Xun.

Because what Duan Xun can bring to Shaanxi, Chen Shufan will never be able to bring.

"Okay. Brother Xi, then this matter will trouble you."

196 Heart attack 2

Duan Xun wants to rebuild Northwest University.

This news spread wildly in all walks of life in Xi'an within a short period of time, and everyone knew the news.Guo Xiren didn't waste any time. After talking with Yang Yongtai, he immediately summoned the academic leaders in Xi'an.During Guo Xiren's two years as the director of the Shaanxi Education Department, although he was too conservative in the development of education and somewhat suppressed the spread of new learning and new ideas, he was criticized by many people in the academic circle.

Guo Xiren paid more attention to Confucianism, and even organized students from various schools in Xi'an to worship Confucius.This has caused many people in Shaanxi academic circles to criticize Guo Xiren for refusing to accept new learning and new knowledge.

In fact, this really wronged Guo Xiren.

Guo Xiren is somewhat conservative, but that doesn't mean he is against new learning.It is because he believes that traditional culture cannot be discarded, which is why he came up with such things as worshiping Confucius.But Guo Xiren is definitely not against new knowledge.On the contrary, Guo Xiren is a very supportive person for the development of Xinxue.Because Guo Xiren himself accepted new learning in his early years, and later studied in Japan and Europe to learn water conservancy knowledge.Guo Xiren sees the power of Western countries, how could he oppose the development of new learning and the spread of new knowledge.

It's just that Guo Xiren's temper is too stubborn. In order to support traditional culture, students must pay homage to Confucius, so he was bombarded by Shaanxi academic circles.But even so, Guo Xiren's influence in Shaanxi academic circles is still unparalleled.After all, Guo Xiren has been engaged in education in Shaanxi for many years. He was the leader of the constitutionalists in his early years, and later he was the leader of the Tongmenghui.

Very influential.

In a short period of time, the academic leaders in Shaanxi gathered together.When Yang Yongtai said that he wanted to rebuild Northwest University, the leaders of Shaanxi academic circles couldn't sit still.Even fry the pot completely in their hearts.

Northwest University.

This is the dream of many Shaanxi people, and it is also the dream of many academic leaders in Shaanxi.How happy these people were when Northwestern University was established.When Lu Jianzhang revoked Northwest University, how many people stamped their feet and beat their chests, crying bitterly.

Now you want to rebuild Northwestern University?

Great thing.

As for the filth between Duan Xun and Chen Shufan, no one cares about them.Chen Shufan was the governor of Shaanxi, and he never cared about the development of education in Shaanxi.Now that Duan Xun is here, he will not only rebuild Northwest University, but also invest a lot of money to support the development of education in Shaanxi.Compared to Duan Xun, Chen Shufan is nothing.

Spending money to buy people's hearts has been a coup since ancient times.

At the same time, the major newspapers in Xi'an also began to report at length how Duan Xun was going to rebuild Northwest University and how he would invest 800 million yuan in the development of education in Shaanxi.Among Yang Yongtai's ideas to Duan Xun, apart from using money to buy people's hearts and rebuild Northwest University, he told Duan Xun to face all kinds of rumors squarely.

Therefore, Duan Xun asked Bai Jianwu to take charge of public opinion research.

It also gave Bai Jianwu a lot of power.Bai Jianwu was appointed as the director of the Propaganda Department of the Frontier Supervision Administration of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet, and asked Bai Jianwu to organize a team by himself.You can win over people in the current academic and newspaper circles in Shaanxi.
