Beiyang reactionaries

But now the situation is completely reversed.

Duan Xun didn't speak, and the Shanxi Yasukuni Army clamored to expel Chen Shufan.Duan Xun nodded slowly and said: "Everyone, since you all mean this, please write a statement. I will report the content of this peace negotiation to the Beijing government and let them decide."

"Humph."

Chen Shufan flicked his sleeves and left the venue directly.Because Chen Shufan couldn't wait any longer, he had to do something.Otherwise, if Duan Xun's peace negotiation report is submitted, Chen Shufan's position as the governor of Shaanxi will inevitably be lost.

No one can help Chen Shufan.

Duan Qirui received Duan Xun's report, even if he wanted to cover Chen Shufan, he had to consider Duan Xun.After all, it was Duan Xun's attitude that he could write this report to the Beijing government.At that time, Duan Qirui will at most be able to get along with each other.

As for Xu Shichang, let alone.

Since Xu Shichang became the president, he had long wanted to complete the peace talks, but because of the Shaanxi incident, the negotiations have not been smooth.If the problem in Shaanxi can be resolved smoothly, then there will be no problem in negotiating peace between the North and the South.Under such circumstances, sacrificing a Chen Shufan is nothing.

Chen Shufan is a big man in Shaanxi, but he is nothing in the eyes of Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui.Speaking of promoting you, you are the governor of Shaanxi.Said to sacrifice you, then you must make sacrifices.

Chen Shufan wanted to save himself.

But not long after he walked out of the venue, he saw Li Pinxian who was leading two soldiers and looking at him with a smile on his face.The moment he saw Li Pinxian, Chen Shufan actually burst out laughing.

Very helpless smile.

"Tumen wakes up from a dream, and wakes up especially uncooked Huangliang. Once three years of prestige is lost, he is ashamed to be inferior to Lu Jianzhang... Once three years of prestige is lost, he is ashamed to be inferior to Lu Jianzhang, and he is ashamed to be inferior to Lu Jianzhang. Hahahaha .”

Chen Shufan couldn't help but read this poem that Zhang Fenghui, the first governor of Shaanxi after the Revolution of [-], read when he was driven away by Lu Jianzhang.Suddenly Chen Shufan felt the despair that Zhang Fenghuang felt back then.

I had been in Shaanxi for nearly three years, but was expelled by Duan Xun, who had only been in Shaanxi for less than half a year.

It turned out that he was another Zhang Fenghui.

201 Beijing

"Master, you're back. Why is it so early today?"

Beijing.

In a large courtyard, the old man entered the room and took off his hat and military uniform, and then lay down on the kang.The servants took the old man's clothes and hat, and then handed the old man a cigarette pouch.

The old man squinted his eyes, took a comfortable breath, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Degong (Duan Xun) has made more and more disturbances in recent years. This time he entered Shaanxi to expel Chen Shufan, the governor of Shaanxi. Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui) and Xu Youzheng (Xu Shuzheng) were furious, but With the support of the President and Jin Yunpeng. Hey, why am I telling you this.”

The old man said a few words, but quickly shook his head again.I continued to take a puff of the big cigarette and enjoyed it very much.

"Master, isn't Degong your student? What happened to him?"

"What happened is because I was too brave. That's why I have a headache."

The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled wryly.

This old man is Duan Xun's mentor, Zhao Litai who single-handedly promoted Duan Xun.Zhao Litai is 50 years old today, so he should be at the age of starting a career.Take a look at the 50-year-old generals of the Beiyang Army, all of whom are fighting for power and territory, fighting each other in order to climb to a higher position.But Zhao Litai, as Duan Qirui's early direct general and the first principal of Baoding Army Military Academy, should have become Duan Qirui's important general now.

But now Zhao Litai basically has nothing to do, and is completely in a half-retired state.

Relying on his seniority, he became a lieutenant general in the army.

why?

Because Zhao Litai is not interested in these things.Of course, this is not because Zhao Litai has reached the point where he can ignore power, but since Zhao Litai became addicted to opium, his physical condition is not very good.Gradually, I lost interest in power and the like, and what I was most interested in all day long was smoking opium.Anyway, as a lieutenant general in the army, even if he doesn't work, he still has a high salary, which is more than enough to support himself.

So more and more impatient to go to work.

"Duan Hefei and Xu Youzheng were annoyed that Duan Xun expelled Chen Shufan, the Shaanxi governor, but they couldn't do anything to Degong. Now Xu Shichang and Jin Yunpeng support Degong, so the replacement of the Shaanxi governor is a certainty."

"Change it, just change it, what are you doing with your heart?"

Zhao Litai's wife didn't understand very much.

Although Zhao Litai is not currently in power and has no serious position, no one really underestimates Zhao Litai or bullies Zhao Litai.Who made Zhao Litai have deep experience in the Beiyang Army and a wide network of contacts.Zhao Litai can be regarded as a teacher all his life, and he is definitely full of peaches and plums in the Beiyang Army.In the early years, he served as a teacher at the camp school of the Wuwei Youjun, and later served as a transfer teacher at the Shandong Wubei School. In 1904, Zhao Litai served as the supervisor of non-commissioned officers and students studying in Japan, and led Sun Chuanfang, Cheng Qian and other provinces to Japan for more than [-] students studying in Japan.The graduates of the sixth period of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy, that is, the main force of the [-] Revolution, Li Liejun, Tang Jiyao, Yan Xishan, Cheng Qian, Li Gengen, Zhao Hengti and others all called out Mr. Zhao Litai.

Of course it's not a real teacher-student relationship, it's just that there was such a relationship, Zhao Litai was their teacher.After that, Zhao Litai returned to China and served as the general manager of the Beiyang Army Crash School in Baoding. Duan Qirui was the supervisor at that time.

Immediately afterwards, he served as the commander of the 31st Mixed Association. After the Revolution of [-], he founded the Baoding Army Military Academy in Baoding and became the first principal.It is precisely because Zhao Litai has been in military academies for many years, and they are all military academies run by the Beiyang Army, so there are many students.

These students have been mixed up to now, and each of them has strength and status in the Beiyang Army.Among Zhao Litai's students, there are about [-] who just got into the position of general.

The most famous among them is of course Duan Xun.

The relationship between Duan Xun and Zhao Litai is not an ordinary relationship, not a simple relationship between a military school teacher and a student.A teacher for a day, a father for life.This sentence is very suitable for Zhao Litai and Duan Xun.When Duan Xun was less than ten years old, he already worshiped Zhao Litai as his teacher.Zhao Litai has always supported Duan Xun, otherwise how could Duan Xun be able to lead troops to Western Henan when he was 25 years old.

With so many students, no matter how the political situation in Beijing changes, it will not affect Zhao Litai.Regardless of who the Beijing government is in charge of, they will not attack someone like Zhao Litai who is not a threat but has a lot of connections.There is a problem in Shaanxi, what is Zhao Litai worried about?

"I don't want to worry about it. But I can't worry about it. It's found me."

"what happened?"

"Duan Hefei talked to me just now. I hope that I will go to Shaanxi to take over the position of Shaanxi Governor, and take a good look at De Gong, so that he doesn't make so many things. I want me to beat him."

Zhao Litai smiled wryly.

In the past few years, Zhao Litai has gradually faded out of the political and military circles, only relying on his seniority to become a lieutenant general of the brigade.Smoking opium these years has also made Zhao Litai less and less fond of moving.But that doesn't mean Zhao Litai is a fool.

Duan Qirui's intention to cultivate Duan Xun is obvious.

Duan Xun tossed around in the southwestern provinces, and even controlled more than half of Hunan.As a result, Zhang Jingyao, the governor of Hunan, filed several complaints and asked Duan Qirui to give Duan Xun an order to ask Duan Xun's troops to leave Hunan.Because Zhang Jingyao, the governor of Hunan, currently only controls the left and right sides of Changsha City, he can't control other places.

Even around Changsha, he can't completely control it.

Because Duan Xun controls the three mass production bases in Hunan, Lizhou, Changde, and Yuezhou, and is also directly close to Changsha.As well as the Baoqing and Xiangxi regions to the west, they are all currently under Duan Xun's control.The Hengyang area is controlled by Wu Peifu's troops, and further down is the territory of the Hunan Army.

But Duan Qirui kept silent.

The meaning of supporting Duan Xun is obvious.But Duan Qirui's willingness to train Duan Xun is one aspect, but Duan Xun can't go too far.The ancient emperors even had to be on guard against their own sons, and it was not once or twice that they were abolished after the establishment of the prince.

All because of what?

that power.

It is impossible for any superior to allow the people below him to have too much power and affect his own power.Duan Xun went too far this time.How could Duan Qirui not be angry to expel Chen Shufan, who also belonged to Duan Qirui's faction.Even Duan Qirui still thought about what Duan Xun wanted to do.

But Duan Qirui also has his own considerations.

Duan Xun is currently the fastest rising young general in Duan Qirui's faction, and he is also one of the generals that Duan Qirui relies on most.With Duan Xun in the southwest, not to mention that there will be no problems in the southwest, even the northwest provinces will be much more stable.

Moreover, Duan Xun has respected Duan Qirui all these years, completely following Duan Qirui's footsteps.Duan Xun also actively supported Duan Qirui's several military activities.He is also one of the successors of the Anhui Department that Duan Qirui focuses on training.

Moreover, Duan Xun's current power has soared, and he has taken root in the southwest for several years, so Duan Qirui can't be called around.
