Beiyang reactionaries

"Haha, tell me, what news."

The two are familiar with each other, so they joke around casually.

"I got the exact news. On behalf of Duan Xun, Wang Yitang negotiated with the Japanese side about the ownership of Hanyeping Company. Now the negotiation has basically been completed, and the Japanese side has agreed to completely transfer the control of Hanyeping Company to Duan Duan Xun’s Border Supervision Office. From then on, Hanyeping Company will become a company directly under Duan Xun’s Border Supervision Office.”

"Oh?"

All three of you here are very famous journalists.

Hearing Shao Lizi's words, Shi Liangcai and Chen Bulei were immediately attracted.Because this is indeed a big event, the public opinion turmoil caused by Han Yeping Company was very big.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Hanyeping Company had already had many disputes.After the Revolution of 200, in order to raise funds, Sun Yat-sen sold the rights and interests of Han Yeping Company to the Japanese to raise [-] million.At that time, public opinion was a sensation, and Sun Yat-sen almost became a new generation of traitors and traitors.

Later, Yuan Shikai planned to take back the control of Hanyeping Company, and the public opinion at that time was also very lively.It's just that there are too many debts, Yuan Shikai immediately withdraws, and he can only let it go.

A book can be written about the story of Han Yeping Company.Now hearing that Duan Xun wanted to take back the control of Han Yeping Company, Shi Liangcai and Chen Bulei were of course very surprised.

This is definitely very good news for China.

That's why Shi Liangcai said incredulously: "How did Wang Yitang negotiate with Japan? Japan has obtained the control of Hanyeping Company with such difficulty, how could it transfer him to General Duan?"

"I heard that Duan Xun agreed to several conditions from the Japanese side. That is, Duan Xun is responsible for the debts of Hanyeping Company, and continues to sell a certain amount of iron ore and coal mines to the Japanese company at a low price every year according to the previous contract. There is also the repayment In the process of paying the money, if the debt was not repaid according to the contract for two consecutive years, then the control of Hanyeping Company will be handed over to Japan again.”

"General Duan took on the debt by himself?"

"Yes."

"General Duan is very courageous. Although I don't know how much Han Yeping Company signed the Japanese businessman, according to the original estimate, it should not be less than 3000 million."

Shi Liang was in admiration.

Although Shi Liangcai has never met Duan Xun, he has always had a great affection for Duan Xun.Every time I can feel the courage and charm of Duan Xun.

"By the way, signed?"

"I got the news that it will be signed this afternoon."

Shi Liangcai and Chen Bulei looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.They didn't doubt Shao Lizi's news, because Shao Lizi, as a member of the Tongmenghui in his early years, had a good relationship with a large number of revolutionary parties and had a wide network of contacts.

There are many news outlets.

There's no such thing as fake news for such a big event.

Shi Liangcai took a deep breath and said, "I never thought that General Duan would do such a big thing right after he came to Wuchang. That was Hanyeping Company. When the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway was built, most of the rails were made of Hanyang Railway. It was provided by the iron factory. If the whole country hadn’t been in chaos these years, he should have been the lifeblood of our country’s iron and steel industry.”

"Yes."

Shao Lizi also nodded, and said sadly: "I remember that Yuan Gongbao also wanted to take control of Han Yeping Company back then. But after seeing the debts of Han Yeping Company, he immediately retreated. Duan Xun is very courageous now. Big, dare to be responsible for this debt. What I want to know most now is how Duan Xun will repay the debt after taking over Hanyeping Company? How will Hanyeping Company go on the right track? If Hanyeping Company continues to be like it is now, Duan Xun will fail A big burden."

"I believe he has a solution. Han Yeping Company will shine brightly in the hands of General Duan."

"If you 'declare' continue to praise Duan Xun like this, others will suspect that you have received money from Duan Xun. When did you declare that you became Duan Xun's newspaper?"

Shao Lizi complained about Shi Liangcai.

Because Shi Liangcai's report always reported Duan Xun positively, many people criticized Shi Liangcai.Shi Liangcai was not merciless in attacking the other members of the Beiyang Army, but he would show mercy every time he faced Duan Xun.

"I am standing up straight and not afraid of those rumors. It's just a little funny. Wang Yitang is a criminal wanted by the Beijing government before, and he is also a hardcore pro-Japanese faction attacked by public opinion. I didn't expect General Duan to let him be in charge of this negotiation."

Shi Liang shook his head.

The world is impermanent.

Wang Yitang, who was unanimously recognized by domestic public opinion as the hardcore leader of the pro-Japanese faction, was actually in charge of such negotiations.Once Wang Yitang signs and takes back the control of Han Yeping Company, how will the domestic public opinion evaluate Wang Yitang at that time.

In any case, it was taken back to Hanyeping Company.

You can't keep scolding him.

"What's the matter. These people all have the label of pro-Japanese faction. Let them negotiate with Japan. It's completely useless. And after they succeed, they can make public opinion speechless. Before these people defected to Duan Xun, And as Duan Xun takes on important responsibilities, there are quite a few criticisms of Duan Xun."

Shao Lizi shook his head, clearly understanding Duan Xun's thoughts.

Shao Lizi didn't have much affection for Duan Xun, but he didn't have much dislike either.Speaking of which, Shao Lizi mainly dislikes Duan Xun because of Duan Xun's background.As Duan Qirui's hardcore subordinate, Duan Xun not only participated in the Dharma War that Shao Lizi disliked the most, but also participated in the later Zhiwan War.

Shao Lizi has always been a journalist who insists on promoting peace.

He believes that war cannot solve China's problems, China should be peaceful, and everyone should sit down and negotiate.Therefore, Shao Lizi has been running and calling for peace between the North and the South.But whether Duan Qirui or Duan Qirui's subordinate Duan Xun, the wars in recent years have been the main force.So Shao Lizi doesn't like Duan Xun.

But it's just that I don't like it, and there is no ill feeling.

Because Duan Xun has been criticized for so many years, although he has been criticized by others, he has never done anything that both people and gods are angry with.On the contrary, they all have a very good reputation. Whether Duan Xun's army or various policies, they have always been very good.So no bad feelings.

"I signed it in the afternoon. It's a pity that I didn't get to see such a big thing in person."

Shi Liang shook his head.

What a big and good thing it is to take back the control of Han Yeping Company.

It's a pity I couldn't witness it with my own eyes.

"Two, I will take my leave first."

Chen Breiteng, who had been silent all the time, stood up, clasped fists at the two people, and left Shi Liangcai's office.Shao Lizi looked at Chen Bui's back, and asked Shi Liangcai suspiciously, "What's wrong with Yanji (Chen Bui)?"

"General Duan personally invited Yanji to join his staff."

"Going?"

"Can't you guess by looking at him?"

"Duan Xun is more attractive. In fact, I also really want to meet this Duan Xun, who is so sacred."

245 Guan Yu

"I can't give it, absolutely can't give it."

Beijing.

On September 1919, 9, Duan Xun asked the diplomatic missions of the great powers to hand over the negotiation request that Duan Xun belonged to to Duan Xun, which had been sent from the consulate in Hankou to Beijing.Because of such a big matter, the consul in Hankou could not decide.Ministers from Britain, the United States, France, Japan and Italy gathered together to discuss Duan Xun's request.

The French minister, Madeleine, opposed it most fiercely.

Guan Yu is the best way for these diplomatic missions to control China.If Duan Xun is allowed to take Guan Yu away, all warlords across the country will follow suit, and the great powers' bargaining chip in controlling China will disappear.Maybe the Beijing government will be dissatisfied with the diplomatic missions by then.

Moreover, French Minister Made was not friendly to Duan Xun at all.

Because of what?
