Beiyang reactionaries

Jin Yunpeng was disobedient because Jin Yunpeng had confidence.Jin Yunpeng was born as a veteran of the Beiyang Army, with deep qualifications, and served as the governor of Shandong for many years in Shandong.Jin Yunpeng has his own connections in the Beiyang Army and his own direct descendants.Jin Yunpeng served as the commander of the fifth town of the Beiyang Army. The commander of the fifth division has been in command for many years, and he is also powerful in the army.More importantly, Jin Yunpeng and Cao Kun are brothers, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuolin are relatives, and Wang Zhanyuan and Wu Peifu are from Shandong.Therefore, Jin Yunpeng can enjoy both the direct line and the Feng line.

It doesn't necessarily have to rely on Duan Qirui.

But what is Qian Nengxun?

A scholar with no strength at all dared to discuss the dismissal of Cao Rulin.Removing Cao Rulin is to oppose Duan Qirui.Without Duan Qirui's approval for this kind of thing, how dare he be trained?

"Shenwu (Wang Yitang)."

"Old Zhi."

"After going back, hold a meeting, use this incident as an excuse to reorganize the cabinet, and let Qian Nengxun go away."

The May Fourth Movement broke out.

Everyone pointed their finger at Duan Qirui, but few of them directly named Duan Qirui, but attacked Duan Qirui's direct descendants and many members of the current cabinet.Since everyone thinks that someone is responsible for this incident.Duan Qirui pushed the boat along the way and let Qian Nengxun, the Prime Minister of the State, take charge of this matter and let him take the blame and resign.

"Old Zhi, isn't the timing a bit inappropriate at this time?"

Wang Yitang cautiously advised Duan Qirui.

Wang Yitang, as the leader of the Anfu Department, is Duan Qirui's biggest helper in controlling the Congress.The current situation is very bad.If it's just a matter of public opinion, Wang Yitang doesn't care much.But now that the direct generals are aggressive, it would be a big deal to replace a prime minister at this time.

"Now is the time to change. If we are fighting on the front line and the cabinet is holding us back, how can we fight? Not only the money can be withdrawn, but also the chief of the army will be replaced. Let Gong Xinzhan be the prime minister. (Fu Liangzuo) is the chief of the Army Department. When we are fighting at the front, Beijing must not have any problems."

"Yes."

Wang Yitang nodded.

Wang Yitang knew Duan Qirui's character.Duan Qirui is a person who decides on something and will not change it easily.Duan Qirui has not been dissatisfied with Qian Nengxun for a day or two, and he has been dissatisfied with Jin Yunpeng for a long time.

I have long wanted to replace them.

Just now that something like this happened, replace them all.

Duan Qirui really didn't care what the public said about him.Duan Qirui only believed in his own strength.Duan Qirui believes that as long as the direct lineage is suppressed, as long as the battlefield is won, these public opinions are nothing.

As long as you have an army, it doesn't matter if you are scolded a few times.

Don't care at all.

"Old Zhi, there is a telegram from De Gong (Duan Xun)."

Xu Shuzheng found a gap to interject.

"what did he say?"

"He has organized two divisions under his command, plus the No.13 mixed brigade, and the No.18 mixed brigade to enter western Henan. He has also transferred troops from Chongqing, and two divisions have used the Yangtze River to enter the Jingzhou area. It’s just that he’s worried about Lu Rongting’s side, and he doesn’t dare to transfer all the troops from the south.”

"kindness."

Duan Qirui nodded.

In fact, Duan Xun's deployment of troops is a bit far from Duan Qirui's idea.Duan Qirui hopes that Duan Xun can organize heavy troops, at least 6 to [-] troops, to enter Henan.It would be best for Duan Xun's main force to march into Henan and cooperate with Wu Guangxin to completely defeat Yi's army.Then the two men oppressed Zhili from Henan to the north, and oppressed Cao Kun's troops.

However, the troops Duan Xun transferred to Henan were only two divisions and two mixed brigades, which together amounted to about 5 troops.And Duan Qirui's expectations were much less.Although Zhao Ti's own Yi army is not very large, Zhao Ti has been in Henan for six or seven years, during which he organized a large number of Henan troops.There are [-] to [-] people under his command.Coupled with the support of Jiangsu Governor Li Chun and Hubei Governor Wang Zhanyuan, Zhao Ti has always resisted Wu Guangxin.

There are only [-] people, which is still a bit small.

"Old Zhi, Degong hopes that the Ministry of the Army can appoint Shang Zhen as the guardian of Luoyang. The troops are stationed in Luoyang and western Henan."

"agree."

Duan Qirui nodded.

Although Duan Xun did not follow his own wishes, he sent the main force into Henan.But to put it bluntly, Duan Xun's wings are also hardened now, and he is the overlord of the Southwest.Being able to send [-] troops into Henan is already very obedient and very positive.

Moreover, Duan Xun's troops have always been very powerful, and they are the ones that Duan Qirui needs to rely on when he is fighting the Zhili this time.In comparison, other generals of the Anhui Department, although they can be regarded as relatively loyal.However, in terms of ability and troop strength, Duan Xun is many levels behind.

Including Hunan Warlord Zhang Jingyao, Fujian Warlord Li Houji, and Zhejiang Warlord Lu Yongxiang, although they are also warlords of one side, their abilities are much worse than Duan Xun's, and the strength of the troops under their hands is even more ridiculous.

Look at how Zhang Jingyao was forced to show up by the Hunan Army in the previous Hunan battlefield, and Li Houji was beaten by Chen Jiongming's Guangdong Army in Fujian, losing more than 20 counties in southern Fujian.Lu Yongxiang is even more funny.Controlling such a good place as Zhejiang, and also controlling the cornucopia of Shanghai, even internal affairs in Zhejiang can't be settled.Zhejiang police chief Xia Chao has a force of more than 1 armed policemen, and has always been unconvinced by Lu Yongxiang.And Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, couldn't even settle down with Xia Chao in Zhejiang.

In this war, how can these people help Duan Qirui.

Speaking of which, Duan Xun has a lot of benefits. Two divisions and two mixed brigades have entered western Henan, and some troops have entered Hubei to deter Wang Zhanyuan.Therefore, Duan Qirui proposed to let Shang Zhen serve as the guardian of Luoyang, and Duan Qirui directly agreed.

"Then let him enter Hubei with heavy troops and deal with Wang Zhanyuan first."

After thinking about it, Duan Qirui still compromised.

Since Duan Xun only sent [-] people into Western Henan, it means that Duan Xun did not want to be directly involved in the main battlefield of Zhili.That being the case, Duan Qirui can only take a step back, and it would be good to get rid of Wang Zhanyuan, a warlord directly under his command.

"Old Zhi, besides mobilizing troops, De Gong also gave us advice."

"what did he say?"

"He hoped that Mr. Zhi would come forward and say that our delegation will never sign at the Paris Peace Conference, and we will never agree to what the Paris Peace Conference imposes on us. In this way, a lot of public opinion can be calmed down. De Gong is worried, If this continues, it will greatly affect Zhilao's reputation."

"Humph."

Duan Qirui snorted coldly.

Then he said to Xu Shuzheng: "You send a telegram to Degong and ask him to make military preparations. I don't care about the rest. I will handle it myself. A group of students who don't understand anything don't know what it means to be out of position Its politics. They understand the international situation and national affairs."

Duan Qirui is a typical character who eats soft but not tough.

Want to withdraw yourself?

What a joke.

If Duan Xun was not Duan Qirui's favorite general, Duan Qirui would even scold Duan Xun.

"Order the Beijing police station to clear the venue from tomorrow, and let those students go back to class. Those who are still wandering in the street, all of them will be arrested."

"Old Zhi..."

Many people present were shocked.

How can the conflict be intensified at this time? In fact, Duan Xun's suggestion is still good.Ask Duan Qirui to come forward and declare that he will not sign at the Paris Peace Conference and reject the conditions given by the Paris Peace Conference.

This can save a lot of public opinion attacks.

Public opinion now believes that Europe, the United States and Japan are persecuting China. At this time, Duan Qirui came out to express his absolute disapproval of the resolution of the Paris Peace Conference, which may gain the sympathy of public opinion.I think the Chinese government is very helpless.

But Duan Qirui's temper is too tough, it is basically impossible for him to back down.Especially when someone forced him like this, he would not give in at will.

"There is no need to persuade. First solve the cabinet affairs, and then clean up these students. Youzheng (Xu Shuzheng)."
