Beiyang reactionaries

This is the Russian cavalry unit.

Annihilation of Enqin's troops is a kind of deterrence. It is a deterrent to the independence faction on the Mongolian side, and it is also a deterrent to Semenov in the north.Tell them that the Chinese army is not made of mud.This kind of thing must be known to everyone.

That's why Li Yunlong invited the surrounding Mongolian tribes to witness.

"Send someone to report to Cullen."

"Yes."

On December 1919, 12, in remote Outer Mongolia, Duan Xun's troops surrounded and annihilated the Engen Asian Cavalry Division that invaded Mongolia.It can be said that after the establishment of the Republic of China, there were actually many wars in the border areas.

For example, the Sichuan Army and the Dian Army entered Tibet to suppress the rebellion, Jing Yuexiu of the Shaanxi Army, and Wu Junsheng of the Feng Army all fought against the Mongolian separatist forces, and Wu Junsheng also fought against the Mongolian bandit troops.But this is definitely the first time that foreign troops have been truly wiped out.

Li Yunlong led the troops to directly wipe out a cavalry division of Enqin, and even Enqin's head was chopped off by Li Yunlong.If this matter spreads, Li Yunlong's name will spread throughout the country.

Previously, Li Yunlong was the first general to enter Kulun, which attracted the attention of the world. This time, he wiped out the Russian cavalry troops who invaded Mongolia, which is even more worthy of a close-up.

But Duan Xun didn't talk about this matter, and not many other people paid attention to it.

Because it is too far.

Things in Outer Mongolia are too far away from the people of the Central Plains and the media in the Central Plains, so no one cares about such things.Now the country is most concerned about the upcoming "big five meeting". On December 1919, 12, five people including Xu Shichang, Liang Shiyi, Zhang Zuolin, Cao Kun, and Wu Peifu gathered in Tianjin to discuss the current situation.

What will happen?

Everyone pays attention.

Everyone was wondering how noisy this meeting would be.

Will the conflict between Zhifeng and Bong completely intensify?Will the two armies currently gathered in the Jehol area fight?Is Cao Kun monopolizing the Beijing government and directly appointing one of Cao Kun's own people?Or is Zhang Zuolin victorious, and Zhang Zuolin controls the Beijing government?

But the final result was surprising.

The meeting lasted only three days before the results came out.

At ten o'clock in the morning on December 1919, 12, President Xu Shichang, State Premier Liang Shiyi, Tour Envoy of the Three Eastern Provinces Zhang Zuolin, and Tour Envoy of Zhiluyu Cao Kun appeared in front of everyone, while Wu Peifu had already returned to Jinan and Did not show up here.

These people talked and laughed happily, as if there was no contradiction between them.The results of the "Tianjin Conference" were announced in front of the media.

Very unexpected, it should be said that many people did not expect the result.

Liang Shiyi did not step down and continued to serve as the Prime Minister of his cabinet.However, Liang Shiyi planned to rest for a period of time on the grounds of physical discomfort, and Xu Shichang approved Liang Shiyi to recuperate for three months in the name of the President.Therefore, Xu Shichang appointed Wang Chonghui as the prime minister of the cabinet temporarily, and exercised the power of the prime minister of the cabinet when Liang Shiyi was away.

Immediately afterwards, it announced the end of the negotiation with Japan on borrowing, saying that the government would never sell the rights and interests of the Jiaoji Railway to borrow money.

This is the end.

It was inexplicable.

"Brother Changqing, why can't I understand this result."

Duan Xun is also really stupid.

I can't understand the routines of Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin at all.Liang Shiyi was definitely resigned at this meeting. Although he was still the prime minister in name, he was actually trying to save face for him.The so-called raising soldiers is an excuse used by many politicians when they step down from the field.

But what is Wang Chonghui?

This person is a scholar, known as No. 1 in Chinese law, and a very outstanding diplomatic talent in China.This person has a high level of legal studies and is also very proficient in international law.When he graduated from Beiyang University, his grades were No. 1, and he was also the first person in Chinese history to obtain a Chinese university diploma.Later, he first went to Japan to study abroad, and later went to the United States for further study, and obtained a doctorate in law from Yale University in the United States.Then he went to Europe to study public international law, and took the British bar exam in the UK.It can be described as a great talent full of economics.

Not to mention other things, when he was studying in Europe more than ten years ago, the European countries at that time highly respected the German Civil Code and considered it a milestone in the history of law.Many people are ready to translate him.

Wang Chonghui took the lead in translating this civil code and translated him into English.

It is hailed as the best English translation of the German Civil Code, so many decades later when studying the German Civil Code, they all read the version translated by Wang Chonghui.At that time, the German Civil Code, which was studied in the law courses of various universities, was the version translated by Wang Chonghui.At that time, Wang Chonghui was only 26 years old.

Great.

But Wang Chonghui's basic achievements are in law and diplomacy.Because China has always lacked outstanding diplomats, especially those who understand international law, people like Wang Chonghui are given special attention.

Wang Chonghui did not disgrace her mission.

Every time China and foreign countries negotiate for various terms, Wang Chonghui is able to proficiently speak out the codes of various countries, skillfully quote the laws of various countries, and be proficient in public international law, which surprises the negotiating opponents and feels very difficult.

If China is not too weak, many things cannot be obtained at the negotiating table. People like Wang Chonghui should have become genius diplomats.

But how did he become the interim prime minister?

What can he do here?Can it solve the current financial difficulties of the Beijing government?Can it balance the relationship between Xu Shichang and Zhifeng?A lot of questions came to Duan Xun.

Originally, after Liang Shiyi was bombarded by Wu Peifu and Cao Kun's generals this time, the contradiction between the Zhifeng and Fengzong became very acute.After all, Liang Shiyi was a pawn that Zhang Zuolin wanted to use to interfere with the Beijing government.

If successful, Zhang Zuolin's strength in Beijing will be greatly increased.

Unexpectedly, how could Zhang Zuolin be reconciled to being destroyed by Wu Peifu.The contradiction between the Zhifeng and the Bong schools became more and more intense.But what's the situation now?

"General, with the general around, the two of them can't turn their backs."

Yang Yongtai smiled.

Then he said: "General, think about it. Although Beijing is currently controlled directly by the two factions, in terms of strength, the two factions are directly controlled, and Feng Hejian (Feng Guozhang)'s direct troops are added together, and it is barely comparable to the Anhui faction." At this time, as long as Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin are not fools, how can they fall out. No matter how fierce the conflict is, they are more afraid of the general than the conflict between them."

"Just for this?"

"should be."

Duan Xun shrugged.

Maybe it is.In history, after the Zhiwan War ended, the conflict between the Zhifeng and Fengzhou became more and more serious, and soon there was a big fight.Because at that time, the Anhui Clan had completely declined, and Anhui Governor Ni Sichong and Gansu Governor Zhang Guangjian had no one to support them.Moreover, some of his subordinates flirted with his direct lineage, so in desperation he could only choose to step down.And Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, was even smarter. He immediately changed his family and joined Cao Kun to keep his position as the governor of Fujian.

Therefore, after the Zhiwan War in history, only Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, was left to carry the banner of the Anhui Department.

But not now.

A powerful Duan Xun rose in the southwest and directly carried the banner of the Anhui Clan.Therefore, although Duan Qirui resigned, the strength of the Anhui faction has not declined.Those warlords of the Anhui faction are currently relying on Duan Xun, and they still don't pay attention to the Zhifeng two factions, and still have enough strength to compete with the Zhifeng two factions.Even the two factions of Zhifeng, which one meets the Wan faction alone, is not the opponent of the Wan faction.

Therefore, although there are conflicts between the Zhifeng and the Bong factions, the two sides can still restrain themselves when the enemy is at hand.

"However, General, they have left a huge hidden danger for themselves."

"Tell me."

"General, the Beijing government is in a mess now. There is no income at all, but it owes a lot of debts. Even Zhou Ziqi and Liang Shiyi can't solve the problem on their own. Wang Chonghui is a law student and a diplomat. He can do it." What. Pushing a scholar like him to the position of prime minister in the cabinet is actually making him a puppet. However, the financial problems of the Beijing government still need to be solved if the puppet is up, but there is no way for the two of them to solve it. Unless the two cooperate Loans to the Beijing government."

"That's one way."

The Beijing government is poor, but its spending has also been greatly reduced.
