When Hu Jingyi was imprisoned in Xi'an by Chen Shufan, Duan Xun and Hu Jingyi met several times in Xi'an, and the two reached a lot of consensus.One of them is that two people cooperated to expel Chen Shufan, and now the expulsion of Chen Shufan has been successful.The Beijing government formally dismissed Chen Shufan from the positions of Governor of Shaanxi and Governor of Shaanxi.

It was Duan Qirui who felt sorry for Chen Shufan, so he signaled the Ministry of the Army to appoint Chen Shufan as the director of the Department of Army Affairs.

With Chen Shufan gone, Duan Xun's original promise was fulfilled.However, Duan Xun and Hu Jingyi talked about a lot of things at the beginning, and expulsion of Chen Shufan was just one of the promises.

"General Hu, although I don't dare to call myself a gentleman, I still keep my word. I have promised the general in my heart, and I have never forgotten it. The eradication of opium in Shaanxi, the construction of the Tongxi Railway (Tongguan to Xi'an), Baoxi Railway (Baoji to Xi’an), Baocheng Railway (Baoji to Chengdu), the development of Shaanxi’s coal mining industry, and the development of Shaanxi’s education. Since I have promised these, I will never break my promise. I am ready to discuss with Governor Guo Xiren The establishment of the Shaanxi Railway Bureau and the establishment of a coal mine factory in Tongchuan. And as long as the coal mines are developed in Tongchuan, of course the railway from Tongchuan to Xi’an will also be built. These things are intricate, General Hu, you have to give me time to sort them out. Let me make the most suitable plan for Shaanxi."

There must be different commitments to whom, and different interests must be used to lure.

For scholars like Guo Xiren, Duan Xun persuaded him to support him on the condition of supporting Shaanxi education.This includes a large number of academic leaders in Shaanxi, all of whom were attracted by Duan Xun's Shaanxi education development plan. They all supported Duan Xun and obediently joined the currently established Shaanxi Education Development Committee.As for Wang Yue, it was on the condition of developing medicine.

No desire is just.

But there is no one in this world who really wants nothing.Desire is something that even a sage cannot abandon.It's just that some people's desires are personal desires, while some people's desires can develop in a good direction.

A good name goes after the name, and a good profit goes after profit.

As long as the right medicine is prescribed, there is no one you cannot win over.

The same is true for Hu Jingyi.

The development of Shaanxi.

If Duan Xun used this as a temptation to persuade Guo Jian, Guo Jian probably wouldn't talk to Duan Xun.But this is very attractive to Hu Jingyi.Hu Jingyi is not only a general leading troops, but also a person with political goals and ambitions.

Therefore, the method Duan Xun came up with was very simple.

Expulsion of Chen Shufan, eradication of Shaanxi opium, development of Shaanxi railways, and development of people's livelihood in Shaanxi are mainly to develop the coal mining industry in Shaanxi and education in Shaanxi.This is what Duan Xun personally promised Hu Jingyi when he was in Xi'an.It is precisely because of such a promise that Hu Jingyi agreed to support Duan Xun.

If it weren't for Hu Jingyi's support, Duan Xun would not have been able to fight Chen Shufan and Liu Zhenhua.If he and Chen Shufan and Liu Zhenhua were in conflict, the Shanxi Yasukuni Army raided Duan Xun, which would be very unfavorable to Duan Xun.

Fortunately, Hu Jingyi stabilized, and he stabilized the most elite troops of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army.

"General Duan, how many years will this take?"

"At least five years, up to seven years."

Hu Jingyi didn't speak.

I'm thinking about it.

Five years, seven years, is this Duan Xun just perfunctory himself?

It should not be.

It will take time to build these railways.The Tongxi Railway and Baoxi Railway that Duan Xun mentioned were originally sections of the Longhai Railway planned by the Qing government.It's just that the Qing Dynasty had no money, and it was just a plan. Before the Xinhai Revolution broke out, the Manchu Dynasty ended.After the Revolution of [-], China's regime changed frequently, and there were more and more wars, and there was no time to build a large railway like the Longhai Railway.

Only a little section of road in the eastern provinces has been repaired.The grand plan of the Longhai Railway is even more unknown when it will be completed.

As for Shaanxi, there is not even a shadow. Shaanxi currently does not have a railway.In today's China, building railways is such a hassle.Lack of funds and too many wars.It will indeed take a long time for Shaanxi to build these railways.

Five or seven years is a reasonable time.

And judging from what Duan Xun has shown during this period, Hu Jingyi is willing to believe in Duan Xun.And thinking about it the other way around, Duan Xun didn't perfunctory himself.If you tell yourself that it can be completed in two or three years, this is really perfunctory yourself.

"General Duan, I am willing to believe in you."

Hu Jingyi thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

Hu Jingyi has met countless people since the Revolution of [-].It's not just the leaders of various factions in Shaanxi, Hu Jingyi even met Sun Yat-sen and the others when he was studying in Japan.But everyone is either fighting fiercely for power and profit, or shouting slogans beautifully.

But no one has really made a plan for the development of Shaanxi, a clear plan.

Only Duan Xun.

On the contrary, Duan Xun, an outsider, drew the most complete blueprint for the development of Shaanxi, describing how Shaanxi should develop.And Duan Xun is not just talking about it, but also investing real money in it.

What is the hottest thing in Shaanxi recently?

Rebuild Northwestern University.

Since Duan Xun decided to rebuild Northwest University, he has continuously invested in it and invited many well-known teachers to Shaanxi to serve as teachers of Northwest University.The Shaanxi provincial government has stated that it will hold a celebration ceremony on March 1919, 3, to celebrate the reopening of Northwest University.

And Duan Xun kept his word.

Just half a month ago, 150 million yuan was invested in the Shaanxi education department.Moreover, the Shaanxi Education Development Committee also announced the Shaanxi Education Development Plan for next year, planning to set up [-] primary schools and [-] secondary schools in Shaanxi, and build a large library in Xi'an.This is all real.

If it weren't for these, Duan Xun was playing lip service, how could Hu Jingyi believe it.

It was mainly because of what Duan Xun did, which made Hu Jingyi more and more convinced that Duan Xun was better than anyone else in Shaanxi.

"General Hu, I fulfill my promise, should you fulfill yours too?"

"General Duan, don't worry. I will never go back on what I promised you. And your request is very legitimate. Even if General Duan's promise is not fulfilled, I should support the general."

"it is good."

Duan Xun was overjoyed.

Duan Xun attached great importance to Hu Jingyi.

Although Duan Xun has reorganized the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army now, it is only a nominal reorganization.Each of these units of the Shaanxi Army is an independent army, each of which is a self-contained system, and Duan Xun can't interfere at all.

This is not the purpose of Duan Xun's reorganization of the Shaanxi Yasukuni Army.

What Duan Xun wants is to control the troops of the Shaanxi Army, mainly to control the personnel of the Shaanxi Army.

Therefore, Duan Xun needs an intermediary, and this person is Hu Jingyi.During the process of Hu Jingyi being imprisoned in Xi'an, Duan Xun and Hu Jingyi established a very good personal relationship.Moreover, Hu Jingyi is also very supportive of Duan Xun's development plan for Shaanxi.

"General Hu, Mr. Wen Yuan (Jing Wumu) has a large number of cases in his hands, involving many generals of the Shaanxi Army. Some officers of the First Division of the Shaanxi Army under General Hu are also involved. Mr. Wen Yuan, I have long wanted to Make a proper rectification. But we were afraid of angering the Shaanxi army, so we didn’t dare to do anything. If we have the support of General Hu, then things will be much easier.”

"I have also heard about the bad discipline of the Yasukuni Army. It should be done."

"General Hu, on the 15th, I plan to hold a military discipline meeting for the Shaanxi Army in Lintong. I hope that General Hu can support me and Mr. Wen Yuan."

"Ok."

"Also, the first batch of weapons I brought in from Chengdu will arrive in Xi'an in early February. General Hu's troops are the troops of the First Division of the Shaanxi Army, so they will be equipped first for General Hu's troops."

"Thank you General Duan."

Hu Jingyi supported Duan Xun, and of course Duan Xun had to repay him.In addition to showing Hu Jingyi that he is doing good for Shaanxi, Duan Xun also had to give Hu Jingyi substantial benefits.Hu Jingyi's troops took the lead in replenishing weapons and ammunition in order to continue to win over Hu Jingyi.
