Beiyang reactionaries

Because it's not just the voice of public opinion.

Even the Beijing government is waiting for Liang Shiyi.Because they all expected Liang Shiyi to come and solve the financial problem, and quickly paid the salary.Even when Xu Shichang was interviewed, he also revealed his idea of ​​letting Liang Shiyi form a cabinet.Liang Shiyi is now the candidate for the cabinet prime minister that everyone expects.

Finally, Cao Kun let go.

On November 1919, 11, when Xu Shichang approved Zhou Ziqi's resignation, he publicly invited Liang Shiyi to join Beijing to form a cabinet.

On November 1919, 11, Liang Shiyi set off from Fengtian and entered Beijing by train. On the evening of November 20, Xu Shichang held a welcome ceremony as the president, expressing his welcome to Liang Shiyi.

All walks of life in Beijing also expressed their support for Liang Shiyi's entry into Beijing.

After months of chaos, everyone was counting on Liang Shiyi to solve the problems of the Beijing government.Therefore, public opinion has high hopes for Liang Shiyi.

On November 1919, 11, President Xu Shichang officially appointed Liang Shiyi as the prime minister of the cabinet.Liang Shiyi also became Xu Shichang's fifth cabinet premier.

267 ambition

"These people in Beijing can't make it in playing house, and it's really lively."

Zhou Ziqi went down, and Liang Shiyi came up.

There was a lot of noise.

Hangzhou.

Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang and the commander of the [-]th Division of the Central Army, called a meeting in Hangzhou, all of whom were Lu Yongxiang's direct subordinates in Zhejiang.Some of them have been following Lu Yongxiang, and some have joined Lu Yongxiang after entering Zhejiang.

Wang Bin, commander of the Hangzhou Garrison, Chen Leshan, commander of the Fourth Division of the Central Army, He Fenglin, commander of the Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Central Army, Pan Guogang, commander of the First Division of the Zhejiang Army, Zhang Zaiyang, governor of Zhejiang Province and concurrently commander of the Second Division of the Zhejiang Army , Zhou Fengqi, commander of the first mixed brigade in Zhejiang, and Xie Hongxun, commander of the second mixed brigade in Zhejiang.

In addition to them, Chen Yi, who served as a councilor of the Zhejiang Military Governor's Office and concurrently the chairman of Zhejiang Industrial Bank, Lin Jianzhang, a tycoon of the Anhui Navy, and Zhou Zhaorui, the commander of the Shanghai Fleet established by Lu Yongxiang.

This navy is the First Fleet of the former Navy.

There are cruiser "Haichou", destroyer "Jiankang", gunboat "Yongji", transport ship "Jing'an", torpedo boat "Chen", and torpedo boat "Lie".

It was Lin Jianzhang who helped Lu Yongxiang instigate rebellion.

Lin Jianzhang was a member of the Anhui Navy, and he was very valued when Duan Qirui was there.However, the Anhui Department failed in the Zhiwan War, and Lin Jianzhang was also excluded in the Navy Department, so he went south and defected to Lu Yongxiang.Originally, Lu Yongxiang didn't have much interest in Lin Jianzhang, so Lu Yongxiang didn't think about raising a navy at that time.

But suddenly got Guan Yu, and got a lot of money at once.

Therefore, Lu Yongxiang immediately appointed Lin Jianzhang and asked him to instigate the First Fleet of the Navy.Lin Jianzhang is an old man in the navy, and he is very powerful in the navy.Many of the First Fleet of the Navy went south to defect to the Guardian Fleet, and the remaining warships basically defected to Lu Yongxiang under Lin Jianzhang's instigation.

Lu Yongxiang is also a local warlord, and like Duan Xun, he is not allowed to own a navy.So he renamed the First Fleet of the Navy the Zhejiang Shanghai Fleet, and appointed Zhou Zhaorui, the former commander of the First Fleet, as the commander of the Shanghai Fleet.In fact, it is the number of the Coast Guard.

In this way, Lu Yongxiang's strength in the Yangtze River Basin around Shanghai has greatly increased.

In fact, apart from them, Zhejiang also has a powerful force, which is the police force controlled by Xia Chao.This army is well-armed and has about 1 people.But Xia Chao is not Lu Yongxiang's subordinate, so he usually doesn't give Lu Yongxiang any face.

Lu Yongxiang didn't treat him as one of his own either.

As long as you don't make trouble, you can talk about anything.Everyone has been living together peacefully during this time, and Lu Yongxiang will not interfere with Xia Chao's police force.Similarly, Xia Chao did not interfere with Lu Yongxiang's other affairs.

"Without Duan Hefei sitting in town, Beijing is full of demons dancing wildly, cats and dogs all want to go up and play."

Chen Leshan, the commander of the Fourth Division, sneered.

The Fourth Division is a veteran unit of the Beiyang Army, which was adapted from the Fourth Town of the Beiyang Army in the late Qing Dynasty.The division commander has always been Yang Shande, a general of the Anhui clan, a direct line of troops of the Anhui clan.After the Second Revolution, Lu Yongxiang's Tenth Division was stationed in Zhejiang, while Yang Shande's Fourth Division was stationed in Shanghai.At that time, He Fenglin was a brigade commander of the Fourth Division.

However, Yang Shande died of illness, so Chen Leshan took over as the commander of the Fourth Division.

"Yes."

He Fenglin also laughed out loud.

The Beijing government is simply playing monkeys. Look at what they have been playing since the Zhili victory in the Zhiwan War.It's a joke to go up one by one and be bombarded down in a few days.

"Marshal, this idiot Cao (Cao Kun) wants to control the Beijing government, isn't this a joke? Look at it now, even Zhang Zuolin, a bandit, has reached into Beijing. Idiot Cao has really disgraced my Beiyang Army. And Compared to Duan Hefei, this idiot Cao is really shit."

He Fenglin didn't give Cao Kun any face.

One fool at a time.Beiyang army generals like He Fenglin were very dissatisfied with Liang Shiyi's formation of a cabinet, and thought it was a shame for the Beiyang army.You Cao Kun defeated Duan Qirui and controlled the Beijing government, and everyone didn't say anything.

After all, everyone is from the Beiyang Army, and they all belong to the same system.

But Zhang Zuolin is nothing.

Cao Kun is such an idiot, he has never played with Zhang Zuolin after playing around.Although Liang Shiyi, who is now going to form a cabinet, once belonged to the Beiyang system, he was also a direct descendant of Yuan Shikai.But this time when he formed a cabinet, he got the support of Zhang Zuolin.

In other words, it is Zhang Zuolin's people who form the cabinet now.

Shame.

What a shame.

"All right."

Lu Yongxiang waved his hand to tell everyone to stop complaining.Then he smiled and said, "Beijing is playing with them. The more lively they are, the better for us. We will continue to follow our plan. By the way, how is the training of the recruits going?"

"Don't worry, coach, the current training situation is very good."

"it is good."

Lu Yongxiang was very satisfied when he heard this sentence.Lu Yongxiang bought equipment for three mixed brigades from Duan Xun, and they have been in place one after another.Even the last batch of equipment arrived in Shanghai a few days ago.

Three mixed brigades.

This is not a small number of troops.

There is no discount for Duan Xun's weapon either.How many rifles, how good the machine guns are, and how many cannons, Duan Xun sent them to Lu Yongxiang in strict accordance with the establishment of the Beiyang Army's mixed brigade.

Lu Yongxiang is already preparing to expand the Zhejiang First Mixed Brigade and the Zhejiang Second Mixed Brigade, expanding them into the Zhejiang Third Division and the Zhejiang Fourth Division.And He Fenglin's Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Central Army in Shanghai will also be expanded into a division.

In this way, Lu Yongxiang has seven divisions in his hands.

Seven divisions are nearly 7 troops.With so many army units and the support of the navy, Lu Yongxiang is becoming more and more confident.

"What are you doing over there in Jiangsu?"

"They are currently expanding their army, but they are seriously short of weapons and ammunition, and the expansion is not going well. Li Chun has sent people everywhere to buy weapons and ammunition."

Chen Yi replied.

This Chen Yi is a graduate of the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer University, and also studied at the Japanese Army University, with a high degree of education.This is the teacher of Tang Enbo, Jiang's favorite general in history, and also the Chen Yi who was shot and killed by Tang Enbo in history.

After returning to China, he currently serves as the chairman of Zhejiang Industrial Bank.

Or Lu Yongxiang's General Councilor.
