Beiyang reactionaries

But soon Li Yunlong heard that his people had detained Song Xiaolian.

So Li Yunlong immediately sent a telegram to Kulun, and Kulun sent a telegram to Wuchang.It's really because Song Xiaolian is so famous and a big shot, that's why he is so serious about it.

Li Yunlong also immediately arranged a house for Song Xiaolian, and then came to apologize.

"No."

Song Xiaolian was also quite surprised.

He is currently investigating the situation of the Middle East Railway, so he came to Hulunbuir.Although Hulunbeier is currently semi-independent, Song Xiaolian doesn't care at all.

Regardless of Hulunbeier's self-government, no one really dares to do anything to Song Xiaolian.Especially with the Russian Civil War, Russia has no time to deal with Far East affairs.Without the support of Russia, the Hulunbeier Autonomous Government would not have the guts to offend the Chinese government.Facing a senior official like Song Xiaolian, the Hulunbeier Autonomous Government would not dare to do anything.

But I didn't expect that I was captured by Li Yunlong's troops less than a day after I came to Hailar.

"I don't know how many are..."

"Mr. Youmei, I forgot to introduce myself. I, Li Yunlong, commander of the Cavalry Division of the Seventh Army of the Frontier Defense Army, this is Huang Chengtuxu, the deputy commander of our cavalry division, and this is Tian Yujie, the brigade commander of the Seventh Army of the Frontier Defense Army."

"Oh?"

Song Xiaolian immediately stood up.

Then he clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be General Li Yunlong who first entered Kulun, and General Huang Chengtuxu who recovered Tangnu Wulianghai. I am so polite."

Song Xiaolian was always at the border.

Matters on the border are the most important.The biggest thing that happened on the border this year was the abolition of autonomy in Outer Mongolia and it was controlled by Duan Xun's troops.Therefore, Song Xiaolian also paid attention to the matter of controlling Kulun back then.

I have heard the names of Li Yunlong and Huang Chengtu Xu.Li Yunlong was the first general of the Chinese army to enter Kulun, while Huang Chengtuxu and Yan Shichao were the heroes who regained Tangnu Wulianghai.After being promoted by Duan Xun's newspaper, no one in China knows the names of Yan Shichao and Huang Chengtuxu.

So I immediately clasped my fists in greeting.

"Mr. Youmei, you've spoiled us."

Li Yunlong quickly waved his hand, and then said: "Mr. Youmei, in addition to apologizing to you, we also want to learn from you. This time our general, General Duan Xun, the border supervisor, sent us here to solve Hulun Buir The problems left over from history. The first is to abolish the autonomy of Hulunbeier and not recognize the "Hulun Contract". But this is simple, but we have no idea what to do next. You see, we are all warriors. On the battlefield Fighting and killing is our duty, but we don't know how to govern Hulunbuir. Even our general is not very familiar with the situation in Hulunbuir, so I hope that Youmei Gong can give some advice."

The attitude is low.

It is completely the attitude of students asking teachers for advice.

For Li Yunlong's attitude, Song Xiaolian was very surprised and very helpful.After all, what era is China now, the era of warriors, and the era when scholars need to rely on warriors.

But Li Yunlong, a warrior, knows how to respect himself so much.

So Song Xiaolian immediately said: "General Li, Duan Duan (Duan Xun) was able to deny the 'Hulun Contract' and cancel Hulun Buir's autonomy. Let me tell you what I think. The first thing to do is to ban Russia’s official agencies in this area, cancel the various contracts signed by Russian officials and Russian businessmen of the Hulunbuir Autonomous Government, and cancel the various privileges of Russians in Hulunbuir. Only by eliminating Russia The influence in Hulunbuir weakens Russia’s strength in Hulunbuir, so that the issue of Hulunbuir’s autonomy can be completely resolved, and Hulunbuir can be completely controlled. Because at present, Hulunbuir’s minerals and many farmlands in Hulunbuir are under the control of Russian businessmen. There are Russian police along the Middle East Railway bureaus, Russian schools, and Russian factories, all of which are great hidden dangers.”

Li Yunlong listened carefully to Song Xiaolian's words.

Li Yunlong has also read some of Hulunbuir's contracts.The Hulunbuir Autonomous Government has signed many contracts with Russian businessmen on minerals, farmland development, grassland management, and logging in the Hulunbuir area.

These are unequal treaties.

The Hulunbeier Autonomous Government gave all these good things to Russian businessmen so that they could develop them wantonly.

"Then we need to solve the problem of the coexistence of banners and counties. At present, the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups in Hulunbeier are almost half and half. The Mongolian ethnic groups here are still divided into banners according to the method of the past. This artificially separates the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups. The people, so that they cannot fully communicate. If you want to completely solve the independent forces here, you should completely abolish the sub-banner system and end the current artificial separation of the Mongolian and Han peoples. Therefore, in Hulunbeier, the sub-banners must be banned to complete the structure of the county government .”

"The third is the issue of education. A large investment in education in Hulunbeier, strengthening the exchanges between the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups, and strengthening the Mongolian and Han education here. This is the real way to end the independent forces here."

"Fourth, vigorously immigrate. General Li, Hulunbuir is rich in resources, rich in coal, has the endless Hulunbuir prairie, Hulun Lake and Buir Lake, and the Middle East Railway. It can be said that if you want resources, you need resources, if you want water, you need water, Grasslands should have grasslands, even fertile land and developed transportation. It can be said that it has all the elements for development. But there is a shortage of people here, very short of people. Immigrants to Hulunbeier can not only greatly promote Hulunbuir’s economy, but also improve it. The proportion of Han people here will completely end the issue of independence here.”

Song Xiaolian served as the deputy governor of Hulunbeier. He has been in Heilongjiang for 30 years and is very familiar with Hulunbeier.As soon as he opened his mouth, he was straightforward and explained the situation of Hulunbeier very clearly.

Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly.

Regarding the situation of Hulunbeier, not only Li Yunlong and the generals have no clue, but Duan Xun is not familiar with the situation of Hulunbuir.But Song Xiaolian was different, he had a complete plan as soon as he opened his mouth.

Li Yunlong was greatly admired in his heart.

So he immediately said: "Mr. Youmei, you are so familiar with Hulunbeier, can you come out and help us solve the civil affairs problems in Hulunbuir. I believe that Mr. Youmei will never become independent again in the future."

"General Li, is this what Supervisor Duan means?"

Song Xiaolian stared at Li Yunlong and asked.

Li Yunlong nodded.

He said very directly: "I sent a telegram to our general before I came to hear the news about Mr. Youmei in Hulunbeier. Our general entrusted me to send an invitation to Mr. Youmei, hoping that Mr. Youmei can serve as the civil affairs chief of Hulunbuir and solve the problem of Hulunbuir. .Do not allow Hulunbuir to become autonomous or even independent again."

"Don't General Li know what position I hold now?"

"Of course I know. But the issue of the Middle East Railway, after all, we still have to negotiate with Russia. And there is no rush to negotiate with Russia. And there are many things to discuss with Russia. It is not just an issue of the Middle East Railway. When the time comes, Outer Mongolia, Tangnu Wulianghai and Hulun Buir should be discussed together. Our general means that if Duke Youmei is willing, we will invite Duke Youmei to take full charge of negotiations with Russia."

Before Song Xiaolian came to Hulunbeier, he never thought that he would come into contact with Duan Xun's troops.

He never thought that Duan Xun would invite him.

But still very excited.

Song Xiaolian has been in Heilongjiang for more than [-] years and has been dealing with Russia for so many years, so he is very clear about Russia's ambitions.Speaking of it, Song Xiaolian is a tragedy, a tragedy of a weak and small country.

Although he can confront Russia and protect some interests for the country.But he watched more land and more sovereignty fall into the hands of Russia.Therefore, he has always hoped that China will be strong and China's border defense will be stable.But it is so easy, domestic affairs are complicated, and the Beijing government has no time to think about border issues.On the contrary, it has been retreating step by step on the frontier issue.

After all these years, Duan Xun is considered to be the toughest person in frontier defense.

After suppressing the Tibetan rebellion and controlling Outer Mongolia, this time it took Hulunbuir again.So Song Xiaolian nodded slowly and said: "General Li, if I agree, then I will implement the measures I just mentioned. During the implementation process, I will offend Russia and the Mongolian flags here. I want to ask General Li, you Dare to support it?"

"As long as it is good for Hulunbuir's future, there is nothing to dare."

Li Yunlong nodded.

Duan Xun said before coming here that he can do it with confidence.

"it is good."

278 Hulunbeier 4

At the beginning of the new year, of course, the new year mentioned here is not the Chinese New Year, but the Western New Year.

On January 1920, 1, after Duan Xun announced the control of Hulunbeier, the Beijing government immediately sent a telegram to Duan Xun.The Beijing government believes that the Hulunbuir Autonomous Government has always been a place directly under the Beijing government, and asked Duan Xun to give up Hulunbeier and hand it over to the Beijing government.

Duan Xun took a fancy to Hulunbuir, and the Beijing government also took a fancy to Hulunbuir.

Not only the Beijing government, but Zhang Zuolin, the tour envoy of the three northeastern provinces, also sent a telegram requesting that Hulunbuir belong to the command of Heilongjiang.Zhang Zuolin's excuse is also very legitimate, Hulunbuir has always been subordinate to the Heilongjiang government in history.

Had it not been for the fact that after the Revolution of [-], Russia encouraged the independence of Outer Mongolia and Hulunbeier, there would be no subsequent events.Now that the Hulunbeier Autonomous Government is over, it is only natural to return Hulunbeier to Heilongjiang.

But regardless of whether it was the Beijing government or Zhang Zuolin's telegram, Duan Xun rejected them all.
