Beiyang reactionaries

Now that Dai Kan has shown his willingness to follow Duan Xun, Duan Xun also wants to give Dai Kan some benefits.Dai Kan can't be allowed to continue to be like his secretary, only helping him deal with things, but not getting matching power.How can I say that Dai Kan is currently the second-in-command of government affairs in the four provinces' frontier supervision agencies.

Dai Kan was instantly overjoyed.

I understood what Duan Xun meant.But since Duan Xun gave him so much power, Dai Kan must be cautious.After thinking for a while, he said, "General, what about Xiong Fanyu, who is currently the secretary-general of the Guizhou Provincial Government and also the director of the Department of Government Affairs?"

"Xiong Fanyu?"

Duan Xun thought for a while, and said: "Xiong Fanyu is a good candidate. But he is very knowledgeable. He can suppress those bandits in Guangxi. Are there many tribes?"

Xiong Fanyu is famous.

Xiong Fanyu, 41 years old this year, was a Jinshi in his early years.Later, the official paid to study at Waseda University in Japan, and held a constitutional government seminar with other international students, and Yang Du and the others participated.And Xiong Fanyu is the president.He was also the first person in China to write to the imperial court to request the opening of a parliament and the establishment of a democratically elected parliament.He studied law, politics and finance at Waseda University.

After returning to China, he served as the supervisor of the Beiyang School of Law and Politics, the magistrate of Tianjin, and the magistrate of Yunnan, and his development in officialdom was still very good.After the founding of the Republic of China, he returned to Guizhou to serve as the Director of General Affairs of the Guizhou Governor's Mansion.Later, Xiong Xiling, the chief financial officer, took a fancy to Xiong Fanyu, who had been an official and studied law, politics and finance in Japan, so he was appointed as the director of the Yunnan National Tax Preparation Office.

But Xiong Fanyu's move has stabbed a hornet's nest.

IRS?

What a joke.The Beijing government also wants to collect taxes from Yunnan, so how could the power faction in Yunnan be satisfied.Therefore, the Yunnan Provincial Assembly impeached Xiong Fanyu, which led to Xiong Fanyu's resignation from the post of Secretary-General of the Yunnan Metropolitan Government and Director of the Preparatory Office of the Yunnan Provincial Department of State Taxation.After returning to Guizhou, he began to serve as the director of the Guizhou branch of the Bank of China, and then served as the secretary general of the provincial government.He had a very good relationship with Dai Kan, the governor of Guizhou at that time.

After Jiang Hongyu became the governor of Guizhou, he also valued Xiong Fanyu very much.Because this person was a capable official in the late Qing Dynasty, and he was very skilled in handling government affairs.What's more important is to study law, politics and finance, and I also have a very unique ability in finance.Therefore, Jiang Hongyu continued to let him serve as the secretary-general of the provincial government and concurrently as the director of the Guizhou government affairs department, and brought the finance department into the jurisdiction of the government affairs department.At present, he can be regarded as an important figure in Guizhou politics.

"General, you should know that he was kicked out of Yunnan back then."

"I heard something."

"At that time, he was expelled because he violated Yunnan's financial interests. Moreover, Xiong Xiling, who supported him at the time, had been dismissed. Beijing did not support him because the second revolution did not want to anger the Yunnan army. But entering In Guangxi, isn’t there a general supporting him and the army behind him? A few bandits are nothing. As for dealing with the problems of many tribes, Xiong Fanyu is more suitable. There are also many tribes in Guizhou, and Xiong Fanyu has peace Full experience of dealing with them."

Duan Xun nodded.

makes sense.If Xiong Fanyu enters Guizhou, he will not go to the meeting alone.But Li Jishen's troops escorted him and Duan Xun supported him.Clean up a few bandits and there's nothing to worry about.

"Okay, let Xiong Fanyu be the governor of Guangxi. The main job is to establish Guangxi's government affairs system, and then to suppress bandits and deal with the relationship with various tribes. First stabilize Guangxi."

In fact, there are many problems in Guangxi.For example, a lot of land in western Guangxi was originally owned by the government, but because it has been left unattended for many years, it has been turned into private land by the responsible person of the local government.And the tribes are doing their own thing and don't recognize the laws promulgated by the government at all.The so-called militias in many counties are the bandit forces organized by Lu Rongting back then.These things have to be dealt with.

But what is needed now is to stabilize Guangxi as soon as possible, and these things need to be dealt with slowly.

"Yes."

"By the way, I heard that Lang Boyu is currently teaching at Sichuan University."

"Yes."

"Talents like this should work in the government affairs department. Brother Xun Ruo, you have been friends for many years, help me persuade her. I want him to be my secretary director."

Duan Xun's supervisory office is short of talents.

Duan Xun is poaching talents batch after batch to enrich his staff team.Of course, it is not called the staff team now, Duan Xun has already formally formed the secretariat.Many people were recruited from schools, the army, journalists, and even from companies such as banks and business associations.Originally, the best candidate for the director of the secretariat was Bai Jianwu or Lu Zuofu.

But now both of them have missions.

Bai Jianwu is in charge of the director of the Propaganda Department and the Director of the General Affairs Department of Duan Xundu's Office, and is responsible for the logistics supply and propaganda work of the Duan Xundu's Office. He is very busy.Now it is because there is no one, so I also serve as the director of the secretariat.But not for the long term.

Lu Zuofu was sent to Wanxian by Duan Xun as the mayor of Wanxian Special Zone City.So Duan Xun now needs an excellent director of the secretariat.

Duan Xun fell in love with Lang Boyu, a teacher at Sichuan University.

This person is a prodigy in Guizhou, a 13-year-old scholar.Later, I studied at the Southwest Normal School, followed by the Guizhou School of Law and Politics, graduated with No.1 grades, and was admitted to the School of Law and Politics of the Beijing Normal University.

After the Republic of China, he returned to Guizhou and began to enter the political arena.Served as the acting secretary of the Guizhou Governor's Mansion, the Administrative Office, and the Qianxi Observation Envoy, and then served as the county magistrate of Zhijin County.He was only 26 years old when he was the county magistrate. He made two things that caused a sensation in Guizhou, and he was hailed as a rising star in Guizhou politics.The first thing is that he standardized the county's financial system, including the most difficult to manage Lijin, which was the first in Guizhou Province.The second thing is to deal with the bandit issue. He personally formed a bandit suppression team and dealt with a large number of bandits and bandits.

Later, when Dai Kan formed and led the National Defense Army to attack Qijiang, he served as Dai Kan's first secretary and accompanied the army to handle confidential messages and copywriting.Dai Kan later served as the governor of Guizhou, and Lang Boyu served as the secretary of the provincial government to help Dai Kan handle government affairs.

A very good person.

It's just that after Dai Kan took refuge in Duan Xun, Lang Boyu chose to teach at Sichuan University, which Duan Xun focused on building in Chengdu.Duan Xun is short of people recently, so I started to think of him.

And this can be regarded as Duan Xun further expressing to Dai Kan that he wants to be more closely united with Dai Kan.

At present, many people in China know that Dai Kan is a student of Liang Qichao, but it is not enough that Dai Kan studied as a teacher after he went to Japan.In fact, Dai Kan also has a mentor who has supported him since he was a child.That is Lang Boyu's father, so Dai Kan and Lang Boyu can be said to be brothers of the same school, and they almost grew up together.

"General, I'll talk to him."

Dai Kan was very happy.

Because Duan Xun has slowly treated Dai Kan as his own family, and as the second in command of government affairs.Many government affairs issues are discussed with myself.

This is one step closer to your own ideas.

"Brother Changqing (Yang Yongtai), what do you think can be done about the problem of the guardian fleet?"

229 The Turning Point of the Zhiwan War

"Brother Changqing (Yang Yongtai), do you think there is any solution to the problem of the guardian fleet? When I take Nanning, I will let the troops continue to go south. This time at least I must control Qinzhou and Lianzhou. Although I have never been to Qinzhou, The area around Lianzhou, but I know that Qinzhou Bay is a natural port where warships can be docked. It just so happens that Guangdong has no energy to manage the affairs of Qinzhou and Lianzhou, so we will occupy the place first. Did you see it when we saw it? Find a way to win over the Guardian Fleet and let them join us."

This is why Duan Xun must attack Guangxi.

One of the reasons why Duan Xun attacked Guangxi was that Lu Rongting was powerful, capable and ambitious.As long as he is still in Guangxi, Duan Xun will not be able to concentrate on going north to compete with those people in the north.So Duan Xun must fight Lu Rongting, beat Lu Rongting down, so as not to affect Duan Xun and those warlords in the north to compete in the Central Plains in the future.But apart from this reason, the bigger reason is that Duan Xun has taken a fancy to the land in Guangdong.

Qinzhou, Lianzhou.

Qinzhou Bay here is a very good port. Duan Xun will have new exports here, and it does not need to rely entirely on the Yangtze River for all imports and exports.At present, Duan Xun needs to pass through the Yangtze River for all materials purchased from abroad.

It's not safe.

Although Duan Xun used many relationships to ensure the safety of those things.But if those warlords along the way were really bold enough to intercept Duan Xun's belongings, Duan Xun would not be able to reason.Therefore, one more choice is also necessary for Duan Xun.

Of course, Duan Xun also took a fancy to one.

That is the Guardian Fleet.

This fleet has ten bad warships.Two cruisers, three destroyers, four gunboats, and a supply ship.Regardless of how weak this strength is, it is dispensable in the eyes of the world's naval powers.But it is a very powerful warship in China.

If Duan Xun can control this warship, then those cities along the southeast coast, Duan Xun can threaten whoever he wants.This time Lu Rongting's troops were able to break through Shantou, and the help of the navy was very important.

Even if he is not floating on the sea, transferring this navy to the Yangtze River will be of great help to Duan Xun.Many provinces along the Yangtze River depend on Duan Xun's face.

"It's not entirely impossible."

Yang Yongtai answered cautiously.

"possible?"

Duan Xun wants to protect the Dharma Fleet.However, although Duan Xun was born in the Beiyang Army, he has never had anything to do with the Navy, let alone the Guardian Fleet.Therefore, I am a little worried about whether I can win the guardian fleet to join me.

Moreover, they are the Dharma Guardian Fleet after all, and it was Duan Qirui who opposed it at the beginning.
