Beiyang reactionaries

As long as the situation on Cao Kun's side is unfavorable, Zhang Zuolin's troops will definitely go south.Although Duan Xun looked down on Zhang Zuolin's troops, Zhang Zuolin had nearly 20 troops anyway.

It is also a headache to press a piece of blackness.

"General, general, news from the front."

"how?"

"The 26th Division stationed in Xingtai (Division Commander Cao Ying) mutinied and ransacked Xingtai. It was suppressed by Wang Chengbin's 23rd Division. Are you still fighting?"

291 mutiny

"Snapped--"

Damn stuff.

On May 1920, 5, something no one expected happened.

At the time when the two giants of the Zhi and Anhui lines, Duan Xun's troops and Cao Kun's troops, were in a tense confrontation, the No. 20 Sixth Division of the Central Army stationed in Xingtai suddenly mutinied in Xingtai, and the rebels ransacked Xingtai. No.20, the commander of the Sixth Division, Cao Kun's seventh brother, Cao Ying, fled Xingtai with a few people in embarrassment, and arrived in Baoding by car.

Cao Kun was furious.

What time is it now.

I am confronting Duan Xun, when the two sides are about to fight at any time.Cao Ying's No.20 Sixth Division actually mutinied, which dealt a great blow to Cao Kun.Not to mention the blow to strength, the blow to morale is also very big.In desperation, Cao Kun could only let Wang Chengbin lead the troops to suppress this army.

How could Cao Kun bear the loss of a division without fighting.

So the moment Cao Kun saw his seventh brother, he went up and slapped Cao Ying.Still not relieved, he went up and kicked, and then said angrily: "You bastard, how did you lead the troops? It's not the first day you lead the troops, so why did this happen. Tell me, why did the 26th Division Mutiny? What the hell happened?"

"Third Brother, I, I..."

"Snapped--"

Seeing Cao Ying hesitate, Cao Kun gave Cao Ying another mouth.Cao Kun is not a very tempered person, nor is he a person who likes to beat his subordinates.But today he was really too angry, so he continued to fight.

"Say."

"That, that..."

Cao Ying is still hesitant.

Cao Kun looked at Cao Ying, and suddenly said sharply, "Tell me, have you swallowed the military salary?"

"Third brother, that..."

"You kid is going to ruin a big thing. What, are you short of money? Even swallowing military pay, why does our Cao family have a bastard like you, how can there be a bastard like you who doesn't know the importance."

Cao Kun was really angry.

Cao Kun is short of money.

After all, Cao Kun currently only controls places like Zhili, Shandong, Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan, which are not very wealthy places. It can even be said that some places still need Cao Kun's support.Shandong is relatively rich. If Cao Kun can directly control Shandong, the fiscal revenue will also be considerable.However, important places in Shandong, such as Qingdao, are currently controlled by Japan, and the money-making business is controlled by Japan.Cao Kun's real control in Shandong is limited, and his financial revenue is also limited.The total fiscal revenue of Cao Kun and these places, plus the revenue of Guan Yu, is less than 7000 million.

And Cao Kun needs to support 20 troops, and he has to bear the huge debt of the Beijing government.In contrast, Duan Xun directly controlled eight provinces.Even in Duan Xun's poorest province, the financial situation is better than that of Suiyuan, Chahar, and Rehe controlled by Cao Kun.

At present, the fiscal revenue of Duan Xun's eight provinces exceeds 8000 million yuan, and the fiscal revenue of Sichuan alone is [-] million yuan, which is currently the province with the highest fiscal revenue in the country.If you add Guan Yu, Duan Xun's financial income is more than three times that of Cao Kun, and even nearly four times.

But the army supported by Duan Xun is only about 50.Even so, Duan Xun still relies on a large amount of debt to maintain his finances.

So Cao Kun is really short of money.

The military salary of the troops is only about half.This is already a lot less. Cao Kun's troops dare not say that there are complaints, at least there are complaints.Fortunately, Cao Kun is not bad, and the army is quite convinced of Cao Kun.

Unexpectedly, there was a mutiny in the 26th division.

The money that was originally given was small, but the military salary was withheld.In this era of troops, there are a few who really have faith, and a few who really don't serve for money.If you don't give money, of course they will be angry.

In the end a mutiny ensued.

"You bastard, I really want to kill you. What do you want so much money for? It ruins my big business."

The impact is too bad.

Especially at such an important moment now, when this kind of thing happens.

"Third brother, I'm short of money. I really don't have money."

Being scolded more and more by Cao Kun, Cao Ying suddenly stiffened his neck to refute.

Cao Kun was taken aback.

He looked at his seventh younger brother, and said angrily, "You bastard, why are you short of money? You have no food, no drink, or no place to live. That's military salary, do you know that it's military salary?" You withheld military pay and caused a mutiny, and you still dare to talk back to me."

"Why can't I say. Third brother, I just have no money. Have you ever given me a penny? All your money is in the hands of fourth brother, and fourth brother is the richest in our family. There are also eldest and fifth brothers I have tens of millions of property, and I am the only one who serves as an ox and a horse for the third brother. I have led soldiers and fought in wars and made countless contributions. But what do you have, when did you think of me? "

"you……"

Cao Kun felt his eyelids twitch.

angry.

indeed.The Cao family was very poor in the early years, so it was Cao Kun's father and Cao Kun's eldest brother who worked as coolies to support the family, so Cao Kun respected his elder brother very much.After Cao Kun made a fortune, he used his connections to get his elder brother to do business.

With the support of someone like Cao Kun, you can make a lot of money even selling shit, let alone other businesses.Therefore, Cao Ying is not lying when he said that brother Cao Kun has tens of millions of assets.

Because in places such as Shandong, Zhili, and Tianjin, the Cao family has a lot of business, many of which are owned by Brother Cao Kun.

And Cao Kun's fourth brother is Cao Rui, and Cao Kun's fifth brother is Cao Jun.

There is only a four or five-year age gap between the two of them and Cao Kun. The three of them grew up together during the most difficult time in the family, and their relationship is very deep.After Cao Kun made his fortune, it was also the best for them.

Cao Rui is the favorite of Cao Kun, and Zhili is known as "Cao Kun manages the army, Cao Rui governs the government".Cao Kun was the governor of Zhili, and Cao Rui was the governor of Zhili.Moreover, Cao Rui is not only high in position and weight, all of Cao Kun's assets are managed by Cao Rui.Even Cao Kun's deposits are managed by Cao Rui.

So much so that Zhili said that Cao Rui's assets are no less than 3000 million.

As for Cao Kun's fifth younger brother, Cao Jun, he did well.In order to win over Cao Kun, Duan Qirui not only promised Cao Kun the position of vice president, but also gave Cao Jun the qualification of a congressman.However, compared to politics, Cao Jun also used Cao Kun's momentum to intervene in various businesses everywhere.Tens of millions of assets are not fake.

Only Cao Ying.

The age difference with Cao Kun is relatively large, a gap of more than ten years.Cao Kun got married at the age of 17 and went out to serve as a soldier at the age of 20.Therefore, the relationship with Cao Ying is not deep, and the relationship is considered the most ordinary, so he is not as good to Cao Ying as other brothers.

this is correct.

Even parents have a preference for their children, let alone brothers and sisters.Cao Kun likes Cao Rui the most, because the two grew up together.I respect my elder brother the most, because when I was young, my elder brother was like a father and brought them up.Then I like Cao Jun, because Cao Jun was brought up by Cao Kun when he was a child.

Only the time with Cao Ying is very short.

After Cao Kun made his fortune in the Beiyang Army, the two had more contacts.So Cao Kun usually ignores Cao Ying.
