Beiyang reactionaries

Many of them were later wanted because of their participation in Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor, and they all fled Beijing.However, the former Department of Transportation were all from the Beiyang system, and soon Duan Qirui canceled their arrest and pardoned their crimes.So they are still active in politics.

Jin Yunpeng found two people.

Zhou Ziqi and Ye Gongchuo.

Zhou Ziqi was appointed as the chief finance officer, and Ye Gongchuo was appointed as the chief minister of transportation.

Very simple.

When the old transportation system was at its most powerful, they controlled most of China's banks, post and telecommunications, railways, water and sea transportation, and foreign borrowing.

At that time in China, the old traffic department was really a powerful force.

Many people commented on Yuan Shikai and said that Yuan Shikai was able to secure the position of President because of two things.One is the powerful Beiyang Army, and the other is the transportation department with a strong ability to raise money.

Therefore, Jin Yunpeng hopes that Zhou Ziqi and Ye Gongchuo can use their connections, and hope that they can raise funds from the domestic financial circle to help the Beijing government tide over the difficulties.

"Mr. Chen, Chen Jintao is currently negotiating with the diplomatic missions to transfer the customs clearance of several provinces controlled by Duan Xun to Duan Xun. In addition to Duan Xun's representatives, there are also Zhejiang Governor Lu Yongxiang, Fujian Governor Li Houji, Songhu He Fenglin, the army guard, sent representatives to participate in the negotiations. The diplomatic missions have agreed in principle to hand over the customs clearance belonging to their territory to them. The biggest problem now is that Duan Xun asked these customs clearance to be transferred There is the South West Commercial Bank, and the British think it should stay with HSBC."

"Oh?"

Zhou Ziqi was surprised.

Then he couldn't help but stood up, grabbed Ye Gongchuo's arm and said, "So they've talked about the same, except for some small details?"

"Yes."

Ye Gongchuo nodded.

Then he said excitedly: "Among the diplomatic missions, Japan strongly supports Duan Xun's proposition, saying that since Guan Yu has already been handed over, it will be the same wherever it exists, and supports the existence of the Southwest Commercial Bank. Therefore, according to my analysis, it will happen within a few days." There are results. Gong Gong, think about it, as long as Guan Yu is divided by them, Jin Yunpeng, even if he has great abilities, will be helpless."

Jin Yunpeng?

Although Jin Yunpeng invited Zhou Ziqi and Ye Gongchuo out, Ye Gongchuo had nothing good to say about Jin Yunpeng.Instead, it is gloating.You, Jin Yunpeng, are a "traitor" from the Anhui lineage. Although you have become the prime minister, it is so easy to order everyone.

Back then, when the old Department of Communications dominated China, you, Jin Yunpeng, were nothing more than a general of the Beiyang Army.Now he looks like a dog, and even becomes the prime minister.

It's wishful thinking that a martial artist also wants to order people from the old traffic department.

"Yes. Now that the Beijing government even announces their salaries, everyone is counting on the Guanyu money at the end of the year. If there is not as much Guanyu as imagined at the end of the year, Jin Yunpeng really has no choice. Just those troops who ask for military salaries are It's enough to give Jin Yunpeng a headache."

Zhou Ziqi shook his head slightly.

I feel sorry for Jin Yunpeng.

Although many people despise Jin Yunpeng, saying he is a "traitor" and pulling Duan Qirui's hind legs.But Zhou Ziqi didn't think Jin Yunpeng at all, but thought Duan Qirui was unfair.Duan Qirui has a weird personality.

People who like, like to death, reuse to death.Such as Duan Xun, such as Xu Shuzheng, such as Zhang Jingyao, such as Wu Guangxin, and people like Duan Zhigui, Qu Tongfeng, and Fu Liangzuo.

Duan Qirui really valued it very much.

Just look at how Duan Qirui treats them.Xu Shuzheng is arrogant and domineering. Starting from following Duan Qirui, he offended Yuan Shikai, Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Zuolin, Cao Kun, Liang Qichao, and finally had an infighting with Jin Yunpeng, but Duan Qirui always supported him from the beginning to the end. Xu Shuzheng.No matter how much trouble Xu Shuzheng caused, Duan Qirui supported Xu Shuzheng.Including when Xu Shuzheng shot Lu Jianzhang and caused a sensation in the entire Beiyang Army, Duan Qirui insisted on defending Xu Shuzheng, and even forced Feng Guozhang to admit the fait accompli.

And Zhang Jingyao.

Zhang Jingyao was defeated in battle, and he did nothing very well. What's more, Zhang Jingyao's troops were the worst in military discipline among the Beiyang Army.For example, although Lu Jianzhang was called "Lu Butcher" by Shaanxi people, even Lu Jianzhang's military discipline was not as bad as Zhang Jingyao.Not only is the military discipline poor, but his ability is also average, so Zhang Jingyao was criticized by many people as an idiot general, but Duan Qirui admired him and liked him.Zhang Jingyao's official position is getting higher and higher. In the end, Duan Qirui would rather offend Cao Kun and Wu Peifu than let Zhang Jingyao be the governor of Hunan.

The same goes for Wu Guangxin.

Regardless of Wu Guangxin's high status in the Beiyang Army, Wu Guangxin is actually an idiot who can't do anything.But who made Wu Guangxin Duan Qirui's brother-in-law, Duan Qirui handed over such an important place in Henan to Wu Guangxin, and appointed Wu Guangxin as the governor of Henan.

The same is true for Fu Liangzuo, who became the chief of the army step by step.But Fu Liangzuo is definitely a pig teammate.Especially during the court dispute, Fu Liangzuo hired a group of hooligans to riot in the Congress, messing up all of Duan Qirui's plans.But because Fu Liangzuo is very loyal, Duan Qirui dotes on him quite a lot.

Duan Xun is even more so.

Duan Qirui promoted Duan Xun single-handedly, allowing Duan Xun to rise in the southwest.

This is Duan Qirui.

He is quite good to his direct descendants.As long as you are loyal, as long as you are obedient, then Duan Qirui will treat his subordinates very well.But for the subordinates he likes, Duan Qirui dares to offend anyone.

When Yuan Shikai was alive, he disliked Xu Shuzheng very much, and wanted to deal with Xu Shuzheng several times.But Duan Qirui strongly supported Xu Shuzheng in front of Yuan Shikai, even daring to provoke Yuan Shikai for Xu Shuzheng.

In the past few years, the relationship between Jin Yunpeng and Xu Shuzheng has become worse and worse, and there have been major conflicts several times.Although Jin Yunpeng is the head of Duan Qirui's Four King Kongs, no one can compare with Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng in terms of relationship.

For Xu Shuzheng, Duan Qirui beat his subordinate general Jin Yunpeng several times.

Therefore, Zhou Ziqi believes that there is a reason for Jin Yunpeng's defection.Since Duan Qirui supported Xu Shuzheng, Jin Yunpeng, who had a very bad relationship with Xu Shuzheng, of course parted ways with Duan Qirui.

"Mr. Xie, you still regret that Jin Yunpeng failed."

"I'm not sorry for Jin Yunpeng, but I just said that he was born at the wrong time. He finally became the Prime Minister, but he encountered such a problem. In the gap between Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin, and without the ability to raise funds, this Prime Minister is I can't do it anymore."

"This is it."

Ye Gongchuo was very excited.

Ye Gongchuo had already discovered this thing.Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin just couldn't control the situation in Beijing for a while, so they launched Jin Yunpeng, a warlord from the Anhui Army.

But this is only transitional.

After Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin are fully prepared to control the situation, no one needs Jin Yunpeng.In particular, Jin Yunpeng couldn't raise funds for Cao Kun at all, and it was even more useless for Cao Kun.

Therefore, Ye Gongchuo excitedly said to Zhou Ziqi: "Didn't he, Jin Yunpeng, want to issue national debt? He wants us to give him a platform. I really don't know what he thinks. Mr. Xi, as long as we don't help him this time, the Beijing government will I can’t pay my salary, and I can’t pay my army’s salary. I believe that Jin Yunpeng’s cabinet will fall, what a great opportunity this is. How long have we waited for this opportunity.”

Ye Gongchuo was already dancing while talking.

too long.

Since Yuan Shikai's death, the old Department of Transportation fell apart.The bigwigs from the old transportation department left Beijing one after another.But the old transportation department has been waiting, waiting for the opportunity to rise again.Because the old traffic system has great influence in China's financial circle.

Ability to raise funds.

In this regard, except for the new transportation department that has disappeared, there is no other force that can compare with the old transportation department.

In this world, whoever has the ability to raise funds is the uncle.If not, it would be impossible for Jin Yunpeng to let Zhou Ziqi and Ye Gongchuo come out again.Just count on them to help you raise money.

It's a pity that Jin Yunpeng was wrong.

The plan of the old transportation department is that they will make a comeback and restore the glory of the past.How could it help Jin Yunpeng raise funds.

"It's a good opportunity indeed."

An unpredictable smile appeared on Zhou Ziqi's face, but it disappeared quickly.Then he said: "Yu Fu, what do you think should be done now?"

"Of course, hurry up and contact Mr. Liang (Liang Shiyi) to get him ready to go north. As long as we don't help Jin Yunpeng sell national debt or help him raise funds, Jin Yunpeng will not even have a piece of money in his hands for a month at most. By then... …,hehe."

Ye Gongchuo saw it very accurately.
