Then he said: "General Duan is the only one in China who dares to say no to these foreigners. Someone wrote a manuscript to me before, saying that General Duan was also an accomplice of the Japanese and colluded with the Japanese. The whole article accused Duan The general is a traitor, and he wanted me to publish it in the 'Declaration', but I sent them all back. A group of people slandered General Duan out of nothing."

Shi Liangcai said angrily.

"Mr. Shi, is this General Duan referring to the former Prime Minister Duan Qirui?"

Huang Yizhu doesn't know much about the domestic situation.

That's why Shi Liang said General Duan, and Huang Yizhu thought he was referring to Duan Qirui.Just recently, the newspapers have been criticizing Duan Qirui as a minion of the Japanese and a traitor.Shi Liangcai shook his head and said, "It's not Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui). It's General Duan Xun Duan who is currently serving as the border defense supervisor of the four provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet."

"Duan Xun? Duan Xun?"

Huang Yizhu called Duan Xun's name several times, but he didn't remember who it was.

Shi Liangcai saw that Huang Yizhu frowned, and introduced with a smile: "Boss Huang, this General Duan is much younger than Duan Hefei. He is only 31 years old this year. Last year, he bombarded a British warship in the Yangtze River. It was a sensation at that time."

"Bombard British warships?"

Huang Yizhu nodded slightly and said, "I seem to have heard of such a thing. Is this General Duan?"

"Yes. He is currently the top leader of the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou. Yunnan dared to arrest the French businessman this time. Without his approval, it is impossible to act. After all, he is French. Boss Huang, I am going to the newspaper office now, you see ..."

"You are busy with your work."

"Then, Boss Huang, you can live with me first, you're welcome. I'll let him accompany you."

This is indeed a big deal.

Shi Liangcai wanted to go back to the newspaper office to have a good discussion, so he pointed to Huang Yanqing and asked Huang Yanqing to stay with Huang Yi.But Shi Liang hadn't taken two steps when he heard Huang Yizhu muttering to himself from behind: "I really want to meet this General Duan."

Hearing this, Shi Liang stopped, turned around and said, "Boss Huang, if you really want to meet General Duan or have some contact with him, then you can go to Kang Xinru from Southwest Commercial Bank Manager. This person is General Duan's representative in Shanghai."

221 Nanyang Regal

"Extraordinary, Yunnan Police Department confiscated opium smuggled by French businessmen."

"The Yunnan Police Department besieged the opium merchants and killed the French merchants."

"Contemporary Humen Gunpowder!!!"

Fourth Movement.

Definitely the beginning of an upsurge in Chinese nationalism.If Duan Xun marched into Tibet last year and bombarded British warships as a nationalist warm-up, then this student movement set off a nationalist climax.

Therefore, as long as it is related to foreigners, it will become the focus of public opinion.

France?

Although France's influence in China is not comparable to that of Britain and Japan, it is also a traditional power.Therefore, the Yunnan Police Department banned smoking in Yunnan, arrested a large number of opium merchants, and even killed a French merchant during the arrest process, causing a sensation in public opinion.Especially at a time when China is very dissatisfied with the results of the Paris Peace Conference, Duan Xun's action once again ignited the upsurge of patriotism.

A large number of people praised Duan Xun, and even Sun Yat-sen issued a statement in Shanghai, saying that Duan Xun's gunpowder in Kunming is the contemporary Humen selling cigarettes.So much so that after Sun Yat-sen delivered such a speech, many people said that Duan Xun is the contemporary Lin Zexu.

The name Duan Xun was frequently mentioned by the media again.

Duan Xun quickly took advantage of this matter, not only to divert public opinion, but also completely removed himself from the student movement.At this time, it is useless for anyone to tie Duan Xun and Japan together.

No matter how nice the words are, they are not as powerful as Duan Xun's actions.

Someone has already written a biography of Duan Xun in the newspaper, writing about how Duan Xun put down the Tibetan rebellion, how he bombarded a British warship, how he captured a French businessman, and so on.There are a lot of things, and it is so easy to talk empty teeth.

"So General Duan has a chance to enter Beijing."

Huang Yi has only lived in Shanghai for two days, and there are too many things going on in China.The students were protesting against Duan Qirui, tens of thousands of people fought in Hunan and Guangdong, and now Duan Xun arrested a French businessman.

Shi Liangcai treated Huang Yizhu very well.

If it wasn't for what happened this time, Shi Liang would have lived with Huang Yi in full.However, although Shi Liangcai was busy at the newspaper office, so he went to the newspaper office, Huang Yanqing was sent to live with Huang Yi all the time.

After all, Huang Yizhu was not familiar with Shanghai, so with Huang Yanqing around, there would be no problem.

"Anyway, many people say that, General Duan is very likely to succeed Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui). But it's not sure yet."

"why?"

"Boss Huang, you just returned to China, so you don't know very well. Although General Duan is Duan Hefei's nephew and son-in-law, he is also highly regarded by Duan Hefei. However, there is another general beside Duan Hefei who is very much loved by Duan Hefei. General Xu Shuzheng, who once served as the undersecretary of the Ministry of War and now serves as the Chief of Staff of Duan Hefei’s War Supervision Office. Both General Duan and General Xu Shuzheng are very young and have high status now. Therefore, many people do not know that they will finally be able to succeed Duan Hefei. Is it General Xu Shuzheng or General Duan Xun."

"I see."

"And there are wars everywhere, but the biggest war has not yet broken out. There has been a confrontation between Hefei in the north and Cao Kun, the governor of Zhili, for more than two months. The two sides have been dispatching troops. The war between the two sides is imminent. At that time, we will not know who will win and who will lose. If Duan Hefei loses, then the control of the Beijing government will not be in Duan Hefei's hands."

Although Huang Yanqing was born as a servant of Shi Liangcai's family, his ability goes without saying.If he had no ability, Shi Liangcai would not have transferred him to the newspaper office.Also after working in the newspaper office for a long time, Huang Yanqing's horizons were broadened, and she was able to talk clearly about major national affairs.He also knows a general idea about the internal affairs of Duan Qirui's Anhui Department.

The current rising stars of the Anhui Department are Xu Shuzheng and Duan Xun.

One is calling for wind and rain in the center, and the other is accumulating strength in the southwest.Both have their own advantages, but also each have their own disadvantages.So many people couldn't guess what Duan Qirui was thinking.

But everyone knows one thing, that is, those who can succeed Duan Qirui are Xu Shuzheng and Duan Qirui in the Anhui Department.

"Hey……"

Huang Yizhu sighed.

The country is indeed in chaos.These powerful factions in the country do not cooperate well to build and develop the country. Instead, they only know how to fight every day, which is why the country is so poor and weak.

How to protect the Chinese abroad in this way.

"Then if Duan Hefei loses, this General Duan will also go down with him?"

Huang Yizhu finally became interested in a domestic warlord, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be a warlord whose future was uncertain.Huang Yizhu is from Fujian. It should be said that most of the current Chinese and overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia are from Fujian.

This time Huang Yi came back to China because he wanted to make some investments in Xiamen.

But as soon as he returned to China, he caught up with the Guangdong-Guangxi War and the war between Chen Jiongming and Lu Rongting.And after returning to Fujian, Huang Yizhu was really disappointed.Because Fujian is really chaotic, it is really chaotic.It's completely outrageous.

Although Li Houji was the governor of Fujian in name, Li Houji could not control the situation in Fujian at all.Fujian has Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army, and there are all kinds of small warlords everywhere. They ignore Li Houji, the Fujian governor, and Fujian is in chaos.

That's why Huang Yizhu came to Shanghai.

After hearing about Duan Xun and learning about Duan Xun, he thought that Duan Xun had a great future.But I didn't expect that the country was much more complicated than I imagined.Duan Xun's boss Duan Qirui is currently going to fight a big battle with someone.If you lose, then you have to give up the Beijing government.

At that time, the boss is defeated, and the younger brother will naturally follow him.

"That's not good."

Huang Yanqing thought for a while and said: "General Duan has been in the southwest for many years, and has controlled the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou for several years. There are almost no opponents in the southwest region, and he also controls Shaanxi recently. I think even if Duan Hefei fails, it will affect General Duan. But it’s not enough to let him go down. Cao Kun, the governor of Zhili, probably doesn’t have that kind of strength, so Duan Xun can go down with him.”

Although Huang Yanqing has learned a lot from working in the newspaper industry during this period of time, he can't speak well about these things.

It can only be estimated.
