Beiyang reactionaries

joke.

Duan Xun sent so many troops, not only to fight against Enqin's troops, but also disarmed all the Russian troops in Hulunbeier at the risk of offending Russia.It was so difficult to win Hulunbuir, how could Duan Xun let it out.

Hulunbeier is a good place.

There are many resources, a lot of water resources, fertile land, and the most important line along the Middle East Railway, as well as the endless Hulun Buir Grassland.

More importantly, Hulunbeier is adjacent to Qiqihar in Heilongjiang, directly threatening Qiqihar.And once Duan Xun got Qiqihar done, he would face Jilin directly and frighten Zhang Zuolin's hinterland.Moreover, without starting from the three eastern provinces, Hulunbeier's southward movement can still threaten the Rehe area.

important place.

Otherwise, Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin would not have sent frequent telegrams asking Duan Xun for this place.But how could Duan Xun give such an important place to the Beijing government and Zhang Zuolin.

If you really think that Hulunbuir wants it so much, why didn't you send troops to take back Hulunbuir?It's not because he's afraid of offending Russia. Now that Duan Xun has won Hulun Buir, he wants to take a bite. How can there be such a cheap thing.

On January 1920, 1, without informing the Beijing government, Duan Xun appointed Li Yunlong as General Hulunbeier, Song Xiaolian as Hulunbuir Chief of Civil Affairs and Director of Finance, and Tian Yujie as General Hulunbeier in the capacity of the Border Defense Supervision Office and Director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission without notifying the Beijing government. The chief of staff of the government also served as the chief of the Hulunbeier Police Department, and Guo Daofu, a member of the Dahaner nationality, was appointed as the director of the Hulunbeier Education Bureau.

General Hulunbuir was under the command of General Kulun, and the Hulunbeier government was directly under the command of the Border Supervision Office and the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee.

Duan Xun's decision made Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin furious.Cao Kun, in particular, immediately put pressure on the Beijing government.President Xu Shichang thinks that Duan Xun is too arbitrary, and hopes that Duan Xun can take back his life.This is Xu Shichang, a good old man.Although there was pressure from Cao Kun, he didn't want to offend Duan Xun too much, so he still had room to speak.

But the Cabinet is different.

I don't know if it was Wang Chonghui's opinion or someone else wrote it on his behalf.Anyway, the signature of the telegram is Wang Chonghui, the interim cabinet premier.He said that without the appointment of the Presidential Palace, without the consent of the cabinet, and the approval of the National Assembly, Duan Xun cannot appoint local officials at will.Therefore, the appointments of General Hulunbeier and Hulunbeier Civil Affairs Chief are illegal, and Duan Xun is required to withdraw his order immediately.

Duan Xun was also not to be outdone, and immediately fought back against Wang Chonghui.

Tell Wang Chonghui that since its establishment, the Border Supervision Agency has been a department that is not under the jurisdiction of the President, the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, or the Congress.This had been decided as early as when Feng Guozhang was the president.

The Beijing government certainly disagrees.

Immediately said that that was the appointment of Duan Qirui by Feng Guozhang back then.Duan Qirui's border supervision office and Duan Xun's border supervision office have the same title, but they are not the same thing. Duan Xun's border supervision office must be under the jurisdiction of the President, the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, and the Congress.Duan Xun was required to take back his life.

On both sides, you come and I fight with each other.

It was only at this time that Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin really discovered that Duan Xun had slowly started his own layout when the two of them were trying to control the internal strife in the Beijing government.At present, Duan Xun's troops started from Yulin to Baotou, then controlled Kulun, and then controlled Hulunbuir, forming a large encirclement circle.

Starting from the north, it has directly threatened the safety of the Beijing government and Zhang Zuolin.At this time, even if the two had conflicts, they had to unite.Because for the two of them, Duan Xun's strength expanded too fast.

But Duan Xun doesn't care about that.

Since taking over Hulunbeier, the Border Supervision Agency has almost one document a day.

On January 1920, 1, the Border Supervision Office announced the banning of all Russian government departments in Hulun Buir, including the Hailar Council, Hailar Public Council, Hailar Railway Branch and other departments directly under the Central Eastern Railway Civil Affairs Office.

Here, for example, the Hailaer Council is directly responsible for all tax collection and other matters in the subsidiary areas on both sides of the Middle East Railway.That is to say, not only the land and minerals along the two sides of the Middle East Railway belong to Russia, but even the taxes are collected by Russians.That's why many great powers like to build railways in China.

Because as long as the railway is taken down, the land and minerals along the railway line belong to the big powers, and even the taxation is also owned by the big powers.Moreover, the police stations of these railway departments were set up by the great powers themselves, and the Chinese government has no right to set up police stations along the railway lines of the great powers.

It can be said that in this era, wherever the railways of the great powers were built, that was the sphere of influence of the great powers.

But this time Duan Xun canceled all these departments.

The Hailar Railway Bureau was formally established to replace the original Hailar Railway Sub-bureau, which is in charge of all railway matters of the Middle East Railway in the Hulunbuir area.The Hailar Railway Police Station was set up under the Hailar Railway Bureau to replace the police station of the original Hailar Railway Branch Bureau, the weapons of the original Hailar Railway Branch Police Station were confiscated, and these Russian policemen were fired.

The Hailar Tax Bureau was formally established to replace the Hailar Council, and the Russian department that collected taxes in Hailar was banned. It also took over all their properties in the Hailar area and checked the accounts.

The Hailar Municipal Government was formally established to replace the Hailar Public Council and be responsible for all administrative work in the Hailar area.

Not only did these Russian government departments in Hailar be abolished, but the Border Inspection Agency also required the consulates established by Russia in Hailar to leave Hailar within a week.As the Russian consul in Hailar went south into Qiqihar, all Russian government departments in Hailar were banned.

On January 1920, 1, based on the proposals of the new Hulunbuir General and Hulunbuir Civil Affairs Chief, the Frontier Supervision Office formally rejected all contracts signed between the Hulunbuir Autonomous Government and the Russian government and Russian businessmen, including so-called commercial contracts.

Confiscate the mines, farmlands, and grasslands that Russian businessmen opened privately in Hulunbuir, as well as the logging licenses issued by the Hulunbuir Autonomous Government to Russian businessmen.

If a Russian businessman wants to continue doing business in Hulunbeier, he must re-register with the Hulunbeier Civil Affairs Department and obtain a license again.

On January 1920, 1, the Frontier Supervision Office once again announced the banning of the Hulunbuir Deputy Capital Commander Yamen, and the position of Deputy Capital Commander will no longer be established.Hulunbuir's military is in charge of General Hulunbuir, and Hulunbuir's civil affairs chief is fully responsible for Hulunbuir's civil affairs.With the revocation of Hulunbeier's deputy capital, Song Xiaolian, Hulunbuir's chief of civil affairs, announced that Hulunbeier will officially cancel the original Hulunbeier banner system within one year, and complete the county administration in Hulunbuir.

Cancel the current separation of the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups in Hulunbuir. In the future, the Mongolian and Han people in Hulunbuir can choose their place of residence according to their own needs, without the previous restrictions.

On January 1920, 1, Guo Daofu, director of the Hulunbeier Education Bureau, promised that 20 primary and secondary schools would be established in Hulunbuir within the next three years.The school will introduce textbooks from other schools in the Mainland and open a Mongolian-Chinese bilingual school in Hulunbuir.

On January 1920, 1, Song Xiaolian, the new civil affairs chief of Hulunbuir, stated that Hulunbuir would plan a part of the cultivated land and allow people from other places to come to Hulunbuir to cultivate it.The government only charges 21% tax on reclaimed land, and individuals can own the newly reclaimed land for 20.00 years.However, it can only be reclaimed in places specified by the local government of Hulunbeier, and it is not allowed to reclaim in other places without permission.

On January 1920, 1, Song Xiaolian made another move, announcing the establishment of a Hailar trade base in Hailar.

This is to attract more merchants.

In fact, Hailar has always been the largest trade center in northern China, and its economy has not been too bad.Originally, the former Sino-Russian trade center was Kyakhta, but with the opening of the Middle East Railway, Kyakhta's trade began to weaken, and Hailar officially replaced Kyakhta as the Sino-Russian trade center.

Not only China and Russia, but also northern businessmen trade in Hailar.

In particular, Hailar's animal husbandry is very developed.

At present, there are nearly 200 million heads of various livestock in Hulunbuir, including more than 40 horses, more than 150 million sheep, and cattle and donkeys.Hulunbuir has provided more than half of the livestock needed in many places in the interior, especially in the northeastern provinces.

But a few years ago, because of Hulunbeier's independence, he refused to do business with the mainland, which severely hit Hulunbuir's trade.Many businessmen dare not enter Hulunbuir, which has greatly affected Hulunbuir's animal husbandry.Such a large number of livestock cannot be sold, and the price of these livestock outside is very high.

When Hailar's trade was most developed, the annual sales of animal husbandry alone amounted to tens of millions.

Song Xiaolian knew very well about these things.Song Xiaolian knew that if Hulunbuir wants to develop and the economy wants to prosper, there are only two fastest ways.One is to receive mines run by Russian businessmen to increase production.Especially coal, Hulunbuir is very rich in coal resources.Although the output is limited because it has not been able to be developed on a large scale, the quality of the coal here is very good and it is well-known far and wide.

There is a railway in Hulunbeier, so it is no problem to sell it to Russia or to the northeastern provinces after mining.

Russian businessmen have several coal mines in Hulunbeier, and they confiscated them and sold them for money.Especially in Northeast and Siberia, the demand for coal is high.

The best way to do that, other than coal, is trade.

Rebuild Hyrule, the center of trade.Selling the livestock that are currently backlogged in Hulunbeier is the fastest way to obtain funds.As long as Hulunbuir's coal mines and livestock can be sold, Hulunbuir's economy will soon rise.

In just over 20 days, Hulun Buir had punched various combinations.

Song Xiaolian is very stable.

Seeing the problems of Hulunbeier very clearly, he planned the development prospects of Hulunbeier in a few clicks.

However, the more Duan Xun moved towards Hulunbuir, the more nervous Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin became.After the tension, their approach was to expand the military to suppress the panic, and both sides started a new round of military expansion.

Of course, their economy is limited, and it is impossible to expand their military indefinitely.

Although unwilling to admit it, the resumption of trade in Hailar this time is also a good thing for Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin.They also sent people to Hailar to buy a batch of horses suitable for war horses and prepare to form a batch of cavalry troops.

Zhang Zuolin has three cavalry brigades, but he thinks it is not enough.For this reason, Zhang Zuolin plans to build three more cavalry brigades.

And Cao Kun also meant the same thing here.

Compared with Zhang Zuolin, Cao Kun rose from Zhili, and he didn't have many cavalry troops in his hands.Don't look at the railways, tanks, and even planes that are now in the sky.But in fact, cavalry is still very useful on the Chinese territory.
