"I can't control that much. If it continues, the 2000 people in my hands will run away. They must give me an explanation. If the Ministry of War is willing to allocate military salaries, then I will expand the army in Suizhou and firmly nail it to death." In Suizhou, Duan Xun can’t sleep and eat. If the Army Department has no money, don’t blame me for turning against others. At that time, I will care whether he is Cao Kun or Zhou Ziqi, so what if he is Feng Hejian in Nanjing? Makes sense."

Sun Chuanfang pouted.

In normal times, of course you have to give them face.Now Sun Chuanfang can't survive by herself, so I don't care what you think of yourself.So what if you offend them.If they treat themselves a little better, then they will repay them.But if they don't take me seriously, why should I work for you.Anyway, I don't have nowhere to go.

"it is good."

Sun Chuanfang didn't know that he was only angry and questioned Zhou Ziqi, but it caused a big storm.

On October 1919, 10, Zhou Ziqi was appointed as the interim cabinet prime minister for the seventh day. Originally, because of Cao Kun's support, the troops who had made trouble before were honest, and Zhou Ziqi was given time to solve financial difficulties.

Zhou Ziqi has been in contact with Gao Enhong in Shanghai.

After hearing that the issuance of public bonds was not going well, Zhou Ziqi has been looking for new ways.

But all of a sudden, Zhou Ziqi went to where to get so much money.The issuance of public bonds is not going well, so Zhou Ziqi can only find other ways.In fact, it is all a routine. If you issue public bonds in the country, if you can’t, you can only borrow money from international banks.

But before Zhou Ziqi started to act, he received a telegram from Hubei on this day.

Sun Chuanfang, the former commander of the Second Division of the Central Army, who was the favorite general of Wang Zhanyuan, the former governor of Hubei, sent a public telegram, saying that the troops had not received their military pay for four months, and had not received the weapons and ammunition they should have received for four months.

Ask the Ministry of War when it will be able to allocate military pay, and ask the cabinet if it can help solve the problem of military pay.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

在孙传芳质问陆军部和内阁仅仅一天之后，1919年11月1日No.13混成旅旅长刘虎臣、No.18混成旅旅长刘赞廷在舆论也发表通电，询问陆军部要不要发军饷。

What about money?

Could it be that the military pay that should have been allocated was swallowed up by the cabinet and the Ministry of War?

In fact, it is a routine.

Before Cao Kun asked his generals to step out, question Jin Yunpeng, and then let Jin Yunpeng fall from power.Now Duan Xun is doing the same way, but Duan Xun has a lot of numbers here.

This is just the beginning.

On November 1910, 11, the commander of the Eighth Division is Wang Ruqin, who is currently the governor of Guangxi, the commander of the No.2 Division is Wang Maoshang, who is currently serving as the Military Deputy of Henan, and the commander of the Seventh Division is currently the deputy commander of the Xianggui Bandit Suppression Headquarters and the logistics chief. Wu Xintian, the commander, also sent a joint call to ask where the cabinet and the Ministry of the Army had gone.The troops have not received military pay for several months.

Starting from Duan Xun's side, the other Anhui warlords immediately followed suit.

On the side of the Anhui warlords, there are many troops with the designation of the Central Army.Lu Yongxiang, Governor of Zhejiang, Ni Sichong, Governor of Anhui, Zhang Guangjian, Governor of Gansu, and He Fenglin, the envoy of Songhu Guards, all followed Duan Xun's pace and questioned the cabinet and the Ministry of the Army.On the Beijing government side, the wind and rain are about to come again.

"Mr. Zhou, how about the issuance of public bonds in Shanghai?"

1919 11 Month 3 Day.

Beijing.

Since Jin Yunpeng's cabinet fell and Zhou Ziqi became the prime minister of the cabinet, Cao Kun has been sitting in Beijing with dignity.Although it was said before that Beijing was already under the control of Cao Kun's army, the Beijing government did not have the final say after all.

President Xu Shichang and Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng are not Cao Kun's people.

On the contrary, whether it is Xu Shichang or Jin Yunpeng, it seems that they listen to Cao Kun in everything, but in fact they resist Cao Kun in their hearts.They have their own set of ideas about the Beijing government, and they don't want to listen to Cao Kun in everything.Therefore, it was still troublesome for Cao Kun to do anything at that time.

Therefore, Cao Kun had been in Tianjin before, and when he defeated Jin Yunpeng's cabinet, he even commanded in his hometown Baoding.But it's different now. Although Zhou Ziqi is not his subordinate, after all, he was promoted by himself.

Beijing is its own territory.

But it's only been a few days, and Zhou Ziqi has been elected Prime Minister for less than ten days.The Anhui faction headed by Duan Xun forced the newly established Zhou Ziqi cabinet in this way, which made Cao Kun furious.But what made Cao Kun even more annoyed was that it was Sun Chuanfang who started it.

Sun Chuanfang, this is the general of Feng Guozhang's faction.At that time, Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, regarded Sun Chuanfang very highly, and Sun Chuanfang also became a rising star in Feng Guozhang's direct lineage.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanfang also defected to Duan Xun.

Back to Duan Xun as a pawn.

So Cao Kun immediately convened a meeting with Prime Minister Zhou Ziqi, Chief of the Interior Gao Lingyu, and Chief of the Army Zhang Shaozeng.Cao Kun's first sentence was to ask Zhou Ziqi, how is the money?

In fact, Cao Kun didn't care about Duan Xun's condemnation at all.

You shout every day, and I don't answer you.Even if I have money, I will send money to you when I am sick.I haven't denounced you local warlords for withholding taxes, but you asked us for money first.Of course, Duan Xun and the others also mean the same thing, they are not really asking for money from the Ministry of War and the cabinet.They won't give you money if you ask for it.

Duan Xun used this method to tell everyone that the current cabinet and the Ministry of War are poor and have no money at all.

It's just messing around.

It is to make Zhou Ziqi's cabinet unable to work normally and put pressure on them.

Cao Kun only cares about one thing, Zhou Ziqi, do you have a way to raise money to help the Beijing government tide over the current difficulties.Cao Kun knew that Zhou Ziqi had sent people to Shanghai to issue public bonds.

But Zhou Ziqi is smarter than Jin Yunpeng.

Jin Yunpeng didn't understand the truth inside at all, so he blindly issued 2000 million public bonds with the Bank of Communications of China.In the end, it only sold for [-] yuan, and it became the laughing stock of Shanghai's financial circles, as well as the political arena.

Zhou Ziqi is different.

He sent people to contact Shanghai's financial circles and business circles to test their attitudes.If they are positive, then issue more public debt.If their response is mediocre, issue a small amount of public debt.In any case, his own face can be guaranteed.

But after my own people wandered around Shanghai, they realized that the situation was very pessimistic.

Therefore, after hearing Cao Kun's words, Zhou Ziqi frowned and said, "My people have already called back from Shanghai. Some people have already spoken to Shanghai's financial and industrial circles, and they will punish anyone who buys our public bonds."

"Who?"

damn it.

No one in China now knows that the Beijing government is controlled by itself.Now that the Beijing government cannot solve the financial problem, it means that it is carrying a huge burden on its own.I am eager to solve the financial problems of the Beijing government now, but someone dares to speak like this in Shanghai.I really think that I am easy to provoke.Seeing Cao Kun angry, Zhou Ziqi was slightly relieved.

Zhou Ziqi already understood a little bit.

That is, I can't raise money in a short period of time.In particular, the method of issuing public debt is basically impossible to work.But Zhou Ziqi couldn't tell Cao Kun that he couldn't raise money, so how could he be the prime minister of this cabinet.Zhou Ziqi couldn't let Cao Kun's anger come to him, the best way was to divert Cao Kun's anger.

really.

Zhou Ziqi's simple sentence made Cao Kun's goal shift immediately.

"Duan Xun, Superintendent of Frontier Defense, Lu Yongxiang, Superintendent of Zhejiang, He Fenglin, Envoy of the Songhu Guard."

"How did they do it?"

"Duan Xun sent a message to Shanghai's financial circle and business circles through Southwest Commercial Bank and Ningshang Association. Anyone who buys the bonds we issue will cut off all cooperation. Southwest Commercial Bank and Ningshang Association are currently in Shanghai's financial circles and business circles. The status is very high, the strength is very strong, and the influence is great. Therefore, many people dare not contact us, because they are afraid of offending the Southwest Commercial Bank and the Ningshang Association. As for Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin, they even spoke directly, if anyone buys our public bonds , don’t even think about mixing in Zhejiang and Shanghai.”

"This group of bandits."

Cao Kun was furious.
