Beiyang reactionaries

"Good idea."

Duan Xun sneered.

According to the current market price, Lu Yongxiang wanted so much equipment, and he didn't have to think about it without 2000 million, but he even added [-] grenades.Lu Yongxiang knows that Duan Xun now needs the support of these Anhui warlords, so he pushes forward like this.

Three mixed brigades equipped with [-] grenades.

Lu Yongxiang is going to do something big.

"General, the customs clearances in Zhejiang and Shanghai controlled by Lu Yongxiang are absolutely astronomical. The total customs duties in Shanghai are estimated to be as high as those in our three provinces of Sichuan, Hubei, and Hunan. The customs clearances he can get this time are estimated to be astronomical." It will not be lower than us. With this money, Lu Yongxiang's strength will have a huge leap."

"Yes."

Lu Yongxiang is the master who is not short of money.

He is not ordinary rich.Because Lu Yongxiang has a cornucopia in his hand, that is Shanghai.Shanghai is truly wealthy in China, the financial center of the country.Moreover, those warlords who have stepped down, as well as a large number of businessmen, have settled in Shanghai.Their arrival brought huge funds to Shanghai.

Lu Yongxiang is the most proud of this struggle in Guanyu.

Because Lu Yongxiang controls a huge number of Guanyu.

The saddest thing is Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu. Although he worked very hard, the customs clearance basically has nothing to do with him.However, it is impossible for Duan Xun to ask Zhang Guangjian to help in vain. He has already told Zhang Guangjian that he will be given a mixed brigade equipment.

Lu Yongxiang has no shortage of money to own Shanghai, and now he has obtained Guan Yu, who is a Dabi, so the money in his hands must be very rich.For an ambitious warlord like Lu Yongxiang, the first thing he does when he has money is to buy arms and expand the army.

"Tell me, what does he want to do with so many arms?"

"General, I think that Lu Yongxiang's efforts to expand the army now must be because he has taken a fancy to Jiangsu and wants to fight Jiangsu."

Han Linchun pointed to Jiangsu.

Then he said: "General, Lu Yongxiang currently controls Zhejiang and Shanghai. Among the governors in these places in China, he has the best finances and no shortage of money. If he can quickly expand his strength and take Jiangsu down, That would be great. Jiangsu is the only wealthy province in China that can rival Guangdong, with an annual fiscal revenue of around 5000 million. Once Lu Yongxiang controls Jiangsu, then Lu Yongxiang, who owns Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, is estimated to have hundreds of millions of fiscal revenue a year With so much money, he can buy as many arms as he wants, expand the army as he wants, and feed 20 troops with ease. At that time, Lu Yongxiang will use Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai as his base, and the surrounding provinces will depend on Lu Yongxiang face. At that time, Lu Yongxiang's strength will be..."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Yes.

When Duan Qirui was there, it was indeed very good for the Anhui warlords.Because Duan Qirui, as the leader of the Anhui faction, is based in Beijing, it is easy for the warlords of the Anhui faction to do anything.Duan Qirui can help everyone keep out the wind and rain if there is anything.

But in the same way, Duan Qirui sits in Beijing, making these Anhui warlords in the local area restrained.Whatever you want to do depends on Duan Qirui's face.Now that Duan Qirui has gone to the field, the local warlords of the Anhui faction are more energetic one by one.

Just look at Lu Yongxiang.

When Duan Qirui was here, how could he dare to spend money to expand the army like this.Even if he had money, he would not dare to expand the army so wantonly.If he dared to expand the army like this, Duan Qirui would have beaten him long ago.But at this time, who cares whether Lu Yongxiang expands the army or not.

Just have money.

As for the Beijing government, Lu Yongxiang is now indifferent to answering.I'll just ignore you, what else can you Jin Yunpeng do?What else can you Cao Kun do?If Lu Yongxiang can really control Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, he can really become a warlord at the level of Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin, and Duan Xun.

"General, are you selling?"

"Sell."

Although Lu Yongxiang's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, Duan Xun is not very optimistic about Lu Yongxiang.This person has great ambition and talent, and has been the governor of Zhejiang for so many years, and even the local Zhejiang faction has not been able to clean up.

Those Zhejiang local factions are still not very obedient, and they are very powerful in Zhejiang.Once Lu Yongxiang and Li Chun fight, these local factions may choose how to choose.

As for the consequences of selling weapons, Duan Xun certainly knows.

Selling weapons to Lu Yongxiang is actually accelerating the outbreak of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War.It should be said that he supported Lu Yongxiang's military actions behind the scenes.Seriously speaking, Duan Xun's behavior of buying and selling arms is very immoral.

Li Chun and Lu Yongxiang have always had great conflicts, but the two sides are close in strength, and neither the great powers nor the big businessmen in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai want the two sides to fight, so they just confront each other.However, as Lu Yongxiang expands his army and prepares for war, his strength will definitely break the current balance.

As long as Lu Yongxiang buys a large amount of arms, the pace of the war between the two sides will definitely be accelerated, and Duan Xun is a catalyst.But Duan Xun himself is also short of money. Now that the arms trade is making so much money, he is a bastard if he doesn't make money.How many things can 600 million do.

"What about the money?"

"Lu Yongxiang's representative said that the money will be deposited in the Shanghai branch of Southwest Commercial Bank."

"it is good."

Duan Xun nodded.

As the so-called dead Taoist friends do not die poor Taoism.

Duan Xun is no saint.For the sake of Shanghai, Li Chun and Lu Yongxiang had great conflicts.Sooner or later, there will be a fight between them, and I am just adding fuel to the fire.

Sell.

"General, besides Lu Yongxiang's representative, Lu Rongting also has a representative."

"Lu Rongting also wants to buy weapons?"

"Yes."

"Fang Chen (Han Linchun), like this. You discuss it with Minister Xiong (Xiong Kewu). At present, Minister Xiong's Military Affairs Department is reorganizing the troops. You can communicate with him and know the weapons that the troops need. As long as we can satisfy ourselves Outside the army, if other people want arms and ammunition, they can sell it with confidence. With the settlement of the Guanyu issue, these local warlords will have money. It is estimated that they will contact us.”

Duan Xun thought for a while and said: "But be careful. Don't sell weapons to Li Chun in a short time, and concentrate on giving weapons to Lu Yongxiang."

Stablize?

To put it bluntly, the stability of the domestic situation is not good for Duan Xun.Duan Xun hopes that the domestic situation will continue to be turbulent.But this turmoil cannot be caused by Duan Xun, it cannot be Duan Xun fighting with others.It should be someone else who started the fight, and Duan Xun appeared as a mediator.But where to start, Duan Xun has no complete plan.

But Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a good place, here is a powder keg.Once the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War breaks out, it may trigger the second Zhi-Anhui War.

Therefore, it is a good thing to let Jiangsu and Zhejiang fight.

"I know."

"carry on."

"Yes."

Watching Han Linchun leave, Yang Hucheng walked in.To Duan Xun: "General, everyone is waiting for the general."

"Okay, let's go."

249 The Bandit Suppression Conference

"Sorry, I am late."

When Duan Xun entered the meeting room, twenty or so generals were sitting there neatly, and when they saw Duan Xun approaching, they all stood up.Duan Xun asked them to sit down, apologized to them, and then came to the middle seat.

"Something was delayed just now."

On the left of Duan Xun is Xiong Kewu, the Minister of Military Affairs, and on the right is You Min, Chief Inspector of the Military Law Department.Sitting below them were Wan Xuancai, the former deputy commander of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River garrison, Jing Wumu, the former head of the Shaanxi Army's Military Law Department, Hu Jingyi, the commander of the garrison division, He Yaozu, the chief of staff of the garrison division, and the commander of the Fourth Army.
