Beiyang reactionaries

On April 1919, 4, Li Jishen sent a telegram to Duan Xun in Baoqing.
At ten o'clock in the morning on the 24th, the last troops of Wu Peifu's third division also withdrew from Baoqing City.It was only four hours after Wu Peifu's troops withdrew from Hengyang, that is, before other troops got the news, the vanguard of the First Division of the Hunan Army entered Hengyang.
"Is there any movement from the Hunan Army?"
"Wu Peifu's troops and the Hunan Army have a very tacit understanding. Wu Peifu's troops retreated a step, and it didn't take long for the Hunan Army to come to take over the position where Wu Peifu's troops were originally stationed. According to the current speed of Wu Peifu's troops, it is estimated that they will all withdraw within half a month. The original position. Moreover, when Wu Peifu's troops retreated, they guarded against Zhang Jingyao's troops at all times, and prevented Zhang Jingyao's troops from getting close to the troops of the third division."
half a month.
Duan Xun looked at the map and sighed.
Wu Peifu and the Hunan Army obviously had an agreement, and the two sides even discussed the retreat route and time.So Wu Peifu took a step back, and the Hunan army took a step forward. The two sides had a tacit understanding.Moreover, during the retreat process, Wu Peifu also helped the Hunan Army monitor Zhang Jingyao's troops and prevent Zhang Jingyao's troops from approaching.Although Zhang Jingyao himself is rebellious, he still has self-knowledge.Although the relationship between the Zhiwan and Anhui factions is not good at present, Zhang Jingyao dare not attack Wu Peifu.Not only because the Zhiwan factions have not started fighting yet, but also because Zhang Jingyao is very afraid of Wu Peifu's troops.When Wu Peifu's third division was in the Dharma War, it suppressed the Hubei army from Hubei, then defeated the Guangdong and Guangxi army in Yuezhou, and finally took down Cao Kun's elite troops in Hengyang.Zhang Jingyao didn't have the slightest confidence that he could defeat Wu Peifu.In this way, Zhang Jingyao could only watch helplessly as Wu Peifu handed over his positions in Hengyang to the Hunan Army one by one without any alternative.
The Hunan Army was originally only licking its wounds in Chenzhou and Guiyang, but with the acceptance of Hengyang, its strength became stronger and stronger.
In fact, according to the marching speed of the army, especially according to the marching speed of Wu Peifu's troops, Wu Peifu's troops could all withdraw from the positions near Hengyang within a few days.Even leaving Hunan within ten days is easy.It's just that Wu Peifu has been in Hengyang for almost a year, and he has kept a lot of military supplies here.
Since the troops have to withdraw, of course these things have to be taken away.
So it will be slower.
But when Wu Peifu has all evacuated Hengyang, his speed will be very fast.It is estimated that it will not take a month for Wu Peifu's third division to enter Hubei.Even the vanguard of the [-]rd Division was able to enter Henan.
"Where is Zhang Jingyao?"
"He sent a telegram to the general, hoping that the two sides will cooperate. After Wu Peifu's troops leave Hunan, they will attack the Hunan Army together and completely eliminate the Hunan Army."
Duan Xun smiled.
This Zhang Jingyao is really funny.Although I and Zhang Jingyao are classmates, and both are generals of the Anhui Department under Duan Qirui, but what is the relationship between the two of them, Zhang Jingyao has no idea?
The two quarreled in Sichuan, and then again in Changsha.In the past few years, Zhang Jingyao served as the governor of Hunan, and sent a telegram to Duan Qirui every day, asking Duan Xun's troops to leave Hunan.Duan Qirui wanted to suppress Wu Peifu and Lu Rongting, and needed Duan Xun's troops to stay in Hunan, so he ignored Zhang Jingyao.
Duan Xun's troops did not have a clear division of station, so some troops were even stationed less than a hundred miles away from Changsha.This made Zhang Jingyao furious.But Zhang Jingyao had nothing to do with Duan Xun's troops.So during this period of time, Zhang Jingyao and Duan Xun have always been dirty.
Cooperation?
joke.
Duan Xun is still waiting for Zhang Jingyao and the Hunan Army to fight to the death and contain each other, and it is best for both sides to suffer.So he immediately said: "Give him a telegram and say that my troops are going north. Let him solve the problem of the Hunan Army. My troops can help him watch the road of Baoqing and prevent the Hunan Army from going north."
"Yes."
"What about Guangdong?"
"Lu Rongting himself went to Guangzhou and took away three divisions from Guangxi. Lu Rongting's Guangdong-Guangxi Army and two divisions of the Guangdong-Dianjun Army are currently moving to Huizhou and Chaoshan areas, but there has been no movement recently. .Chen Jiongming is training soldiers every day."
Listening to Yang Yongtai's report, Duan Xun nodded.
The conflict between Duan Qirui and Cao Kun increased. After the troops of both sides began to gather in Gyeonggi, Zhili, and Henan, a lot of power vacuums emerged in the southern region.Duan Qirui and Cao Kun are going to fight, which will directly affect the major forces in China.Without Duan Qirui, or Cao Kun, it should be said that without the suppression of the Beiyang Army, all the ghosts and monsters in the local area will jump out.After a large number of Beiyang Army troops were transferred from the southern region, these powerful factions in the south immediately felt much more relaxed and immediately became active.
But although these people started to be active, they were more on the sidelines, and they didn't dare to act immediately.
are waiting.
Wait until the conflict between Duan Qirui and Cao Kun continues to intensify, and see if they really want to fight.Only when they really fight can other people be able to make moves.What if they fight first before they fight, what if they finally reconcile?
"Keep an eye on the various places, and report at any time if there is anything."
"it is good."
"Don't talk about this. I invited you two to come here today for a very important matter. I don't hide it. Both of you know my situation. At present, our Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant, etc. For the arms purchased before, a large amount of Japanese loans were used. For these, we borrowed a total of hundreds of millions of loans from Japanese banks and business groups. You all know this.”
pro day.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Duan Qirui standing in front of the tank, Duan Xun would have been reviled as a traitor by the Chinese people for having so many loans and cooperation with Japan.
Although Duan Xun didn't sell too much sovereignty, but after checking out the contracts signed by Duan Xun one by one, it must have sold a lot of sovereignty.Fortunately, Duan Qirui was in front of Duan Xun these years, and he was scolded in front of him.
In addition, Duan Xun is relatively remote in the southwest, so not many people pay attention to it.
"Although [-]% to [-]% of the money was spent on railway construction, road construction, and the Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant. However, another [-] to [-]% of the money was used to purchase arms and expand the Sichuan arsenal. If these things are exposed Come out, let some people add fuel and vinegar, it will definitely seriously affect our reputation."
This matter has always been pressed in Duan Xun's heart, and it has always been Duan Xun's heart disease.
Duan Xun has not found a good way to solve this matter.After all, I have a close relationship with Japan, used a large amount of Japanese funds, and used a large number of Japanese technicians. This is a certainty.And in order to borrow money, Duan Xun mortgaged a lot of things.If you seriously pursue it, you won't wrong Duan Xun if you call him a traitor.So Duan Xun called Yang Yongtai and Bai Jianwu to discuss today to see how to solve the current situation.
Although Yang Wei is also in Xi'an, Yang Wei is Duan Xun's main general after all, and he has too many things to deal with.Yang Wei is no longer Duan Xun's staff, nor is he Duan Xun's secretary, so he can't ask Yang Wei for advice on everything.
So Duan Xun found Yang Yongtai and Bai Jianwu.
See what they can do.
"You have also read the intelligence from the Paris Peace Conference. Our delegation requested that Qingdao's rights and interests be returned to China, and Japan also demanded that Germany's rights and interests in Qingdao be transferred to Japan. Judging from the current situation, our country In the eyes of European and American powers, they don’t have much weight, they don’t care about our opinions. But Japan is different, it is an industrial power, and it has more weight than us. Therefore, I estimate that the Chinese mission will inevitably fail in the Paris Peace Conference. You know that once this When the news comes, what will be the result?"
"There will be trouble."
Yang Yongtai answered.
He also said with a solemn expression: "At present, all walks of life in China have placed too high expectations on the Paris Peace Conference. Everyone expects that this conference will give us China the decision. Even President Xu Shichang, and President Cai Yuanpei of Peking University, in Europe After the end of the war, it was said that this was a victory of 'righteousness over power'. All the newspapers were saying that the Paris Peace Conference was a fair and just meeting, and justice would be given to us. And everyone said that we are The victors will be treated fairly. If at this time, we suddenly let everyone know that our Qingdao has changed from Germany to Japan, it will definitely anger all walks of life in China. General, do you really think that we will be even a little bit closer in Paris? Don't you have any chance?"
"Yes, there is no chance at all."
Duan Xun answered in the affirmative.
Then he sneered and said, "Some of our scholars are too naive. You can say such naive words as 'righteousness defeats power'. This European war is dog-eat-dog. There is no such thing as axiom. What is the cause of the European war? Isn't it because Britain and France occupy most of the world's colonies, and the rising Germany wants to get a share of the pie, and there are conflicts with Britain and France. That's why a big war came to redistribute their respective interests. What about the United States? ?The words of President Wilson of the United States sound good, but in fact? During the European War, the United States sold arms between the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers, and made a fortune in war. It’s just about their respective spheres of influence. Our people really believe that the Paris Peace Conference can give us any justice?”
Duan Xun didn't know what to say to Cai Yuanpei's point of view.
joke.
Justice over might?
Not to mention the First World War, even the Second World War was called the anti-fascist war, but in fact it was not a war in which conflicts of interest emerged.The several meetings held at the end of World War II were different in dividing spheres of influence.
"Bismarck of Germany once said that the truth is within the range of the cannon. Although this sentence does not sound good, it is true. What you can't get on the battlefield, you want to get at the negotiating table Now, it’s really difficult. What capital does China have to fight Japan at the Paris Peace Conference. This time at the Paris Peace Conference, Japan will definitely take away Qingdao’s rights and interests, and I can assure you of this.”
"Then something big is going to happen, and it may sweep the whole country."
Seeing Duan Xun's determination, Yang Yongtai nodded.Yang Yongtai has great trust in Duan Xun's judgment on the international situation.
"Brother Changqing is right."
Duan Xun sighed and said, "At that time, there will definitely be nationwide protests. Who do you think will be targeted?"
"Japan."
Both Yang Yongtai and Bai Jianwu said the name of Japan in unison.
