Beiyang reactionaries

Although Cao Kun also thinks that some places are inappropriate, but compared to allowing Duan Xun to control several provinces comfortably, this method is the best.Now it is impossible for Duan Xun to spit out what he ate.

Then we can only think of other ways.

"I think so too."

Zhang Zuolin nodded.

Anyway, Jin Yunpeng has ambitions, and only Cao Kun is in conflict with him.Because Zhang Zuolin is going back soon, back to the three eastern provinces.During this battle, Zhang Zuolin not only reorganized nearly 3 troops, but also seized a large number of weapons.

After returning, reorganize five or six mixed brigades with ease.

As a result, Zhang Zuolin gained a lot from entering the customs this time.However, the greatest contribution to this direct Anhui war is Cao Kun, who is currently the strongest around Beijing, guess what.And after getting in touch with Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin understood that Cao Kun was good at everything, but he was a fan of officials.

Cao Kun is not a politician.

Cao Kun has no plan for how the country should operate, or even which direction the country should develop.What he is most interested in is actually Xu Shichang's current position, or Jin Yunpeng's position.

It's just that the current situation does not allow it, so Cao Kun did not enter Beijing.But Zhang Zuolin knew that sooner or later Cao Kun would enter Beijing.Therefore, Zhang Zuolin judged that there would definitely not be harmony between Cao Kun and Jin Yunpeng.

After all, neither of them is under another.Although the two used to be sworn brothers, father and son can turn against each other in the face of power, so the so-called sworn brothers are nothing.

When the two of them get into an awkward situation, he will come to Beijing to mediate?

hum.

"That's it. Yiqing (Jin Yunpeng), you ask the Ministry of the Army to come up with the most suitable designation for these troops, so that their troops are directly subordinate to the Ministry of the Army. Give them some positions as local guards. As long as Duan Xun admits this, then the rest of the matter can be discussed."

"Yes."

On July 1919, 7, President Xu Shichang announced that the war was completely over.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shichang announced the withdrawal of the order to restore Zhao Ti's Henan Governor and Wang Zhanyuan's Hubei Governor, and withdrew the arrest of Gong Xinzhan's cabinet members and members of the Anfu Department.For them, Xu Shichang just said that he would no longer be hired, but he canceled the wanted arrest of these Anhui politicians.

Cao Kun was formally appointed as the vice president and also served as the patrol envoy of Zhiluyu, and Wu Peifu was appointed as the deputy patrol envoy of Zhiluyu and concurrently as the commander of the third division.Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces.

Cao Rui served as the governor of Zhili, Zheng Shiqi served as the governor of Shandong, and Gao Lingyu served as the governor of Zhili.

At the same time, Duan Xun was removed from the post of border defense supervisor in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet provinces, and Duan Xun was officially appointed as the border defense supervisor and director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee.

So far, the tumultuous Zhiwan War has come to an end.

In fact, this is just what everyone sees.

The Beijing government and Duan Xun have reached a lot of issues in private.Just as the Beijing government acknowledged Duan Xun's control over the nine provinces, it also promised not to dismiss the Anhui warlords.But Duan Xun also agreed to the conditions of the Beijing government.

That is, starting from the signing of the armistice agreement, those troops will no longer be pursued fiercely.In particular, let Sun Chuanfang's remnants of the Second Division and Zhao Ti's remnants of the Yi Army be spared, and don't kill them all.

In addition, Wu Xintian was appointed as the commander of the Seventh Division, and Li Kuiyuan's No.11 Division, Wang Ruqin's Eighth Division, and Wang Maoshang's No.18 Division were all directly subordinate to the Ministry of Army, and Duan Xun could not reorganize their troops.

Of course, if they are willing to be reorganized by Duan Xun and listen to Duan Xun's words, that's their business.However, the Beijing government also agrees that these troops do not have the power to collect local taxes.They are just local garrisons and have nothing to do with local government affairs.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of the Army gave Tan Yankai's three Hunan Army divisions an independent brigade establishment. Zhao Hengti served as the commander of the Hunan Army's First Division, Cheng Qian served as the Hunan Army's Second Division commander, and Lin Xiumei served as the Hunan Army's Third Division commander.He Jian, who shined in the eastern part of Hunan, was appointed as the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Hunan Army.

In fact, the Hunan Army has many numbers.

There are not many people in the army, let alone many guns.The troops of the Hunan Army, including all the militia groups in the eastern Hunan area, amounted to about 1 people.There are only about [-] long and short guns.

These are just the Ministry of the Army to contain Duan Xun.

Anyway, these are private agreements reached between the two parties.The two sides can be regarded as a distribution of interests and a demarcation of the sphere of influence.

After the Beijing government's order came down, on July 1919, 7, Duan Xun sent a telegram in the name of the new border supervisor, acknowledging the current temporary cabinet of Jin Yunpeng.

However, Duan Xun still asked Jin Yunpeng's temporary cabinet to not exceed half a year, and to re-select a new cabinet after half a year.

Following Duan Xun's voice, Lu Yongxiang, Ni Sichong, Li Houji, Zhang Guangjian, He Fenglin and other Anhui warlords also issued similar statements.

237 arrangements

"Brother Wen Yuan, there have been fewer complaints about the army during this period, and the military discipline of the army has become very good. This is all thanks to Brother Wen Yuan."

The Zhiwan War ended.

Duan Xun is about to take up the post of border defense supervisor.However, Xi'an as a whole is still too remote. It should be said that Shaanxi, as a northwest province, has a low status in China's political map.Duan Xun, as the border defense supervisor in command of the nine provinces, cannot be located in Xi'an.

Therefore, Duan Xun was also discussing where it would be better to put the Border Supervision Agency during this time.At present, the main opinions are Chongqing in Sichuan and Wuchang in Hubei.

These two places are the most popular.

Duan Xun has not yet made a decision.

But no matter what, leaving Xi'an is a certainty.But Duan Xun has not completely dealt with the affairs of Shaanxi, so Duan Xun is going to sort out the affairs of Shaanxi before leaving.

So I found Jing Bemu.

"It's all the result of the general's support."

Imutuk is very humble.

Because Jing Wumu knows better than anyone else, who is responsible for the current good military discipline of the Shaanxi Army.Without Duan Xun's support, without the deterrence of Duan Xun's troops, how could Jing Bemu dare to shoot thousands of soldiers who violated military discipline within a year.There are even quite a few well-known officers in the Shaanxi Army.

The thunderbolt method has led to the current situation where the Shaanxi Army has a good military discipline.

This is very clear.

If Duan Xun hadn't been sitting in Xi'an, maybe the Shaanxi army would have rebelled long ago.

"Brother Wen Yuan, you may have heard that I will leave Xi'an and Shaanxi soon. But before I leave, I still have a lot of worries, so I want to discuss it with you."

"General, please speak."

"The matter of Mongolia, this is what I worry about the most. I have just been appointed as the director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee, and the Mongolian issue is the issue of my jurisdiction. In the sixth year of the Republic of China, there were major changes in Russia. A Bolshevik The party seized power in Russia. Since then, Russia has been unstable and civil wars have been frequent. European powers are also very dissatisfied with Russia’s withdrawal from the European war without authorization, and the current Russian ruler, the Bolsheviks. Therefore, European, American and Japanese powers are now concentrated Power began to vigorously support the former rulers of Russia and let them regain power. That is to say, according to the current situation, the civil war in Russia cannot be ended within two or three years."

Inobu was a little surprised.

I don't understand what Duan Xun suddenly said to himself.

Originally, Jing Wumu thought that Duan Xun would completely reorganize the Shaanxi Army before leaving, and would put his hands fully into the personnel issues of the Shaanxi Army.Although Hu Jingyi defected to Duan Xun and accepted Duan Xun's reorganization to become a security division, Fan Zhongxiu also accepted Duan Xun's reorganization.At present, the designation of Fan Zhongxiu's troops has also changed from the First Mixed Brigade of the Shaanxi Army to the Independent Brigade of the Second Army of the Southwest Frontier Defense Army (Commander Liu Xiang).

In addition to the entry of the Third Division of the Shaanxi Army and the Fourth Division of the Shaanxi Army into Henan, only Guo Jian's Second Division of the Shaanxi Army, Zhang Baolin's Second Mixed Brigade of the Shaanxi Army, and Jing Yuexiu's Third Mixed Brigade of the Shaanxi Army are left in Shaanxi. trip.

Duan Xun has the strength to reorganize the Shaanxi army forcefully.

But why are you talking about Russia?

"The frontier issues in northern China, including Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Northeast China, have a lot to do with Russia. Russia is very powerful in these places. There have always been problems in these places, and Russia is behind most of them. Northeast and I can’t control Xinjiang, and they are not under my jurisdiction. But the issue of Mongolia cannot be ignored. Since the Revolution of [-], Uliasutai has been in a semi-independent state, and now it is in a state of self-government, and it does not listen to the orders of the central government. Let it go for a few years, and he will completely break away from China and become an independent country. Brother Wen Yuan, come and have a look.”

Duan Xun came to the front of the map of China, pointed to Outer Mongolia and said: "Russia's industry and population are concentrated in Europe, and most of Russia's strength is also in Europe. Russia has a pitifully small population in the Far East. It is estimated that At most, it has a population of 300 million, and may even be less than 200 million. Their connection with the Far East is only by a railway. Let’s look at the location of Uliasutai (Outer Mongolia). If we and If a war breaks out in Russia, the European and Far Eastern part of Russia can be directly cut off through Uliasutai. Therefore, Russia has always been obsessed with Outer Mongolia, and does not want it to be in the hands of a big country like China. Because once China takes control of this place, it is easy to grasp Live at the gate of Russia."
