Beiyang reactionaries

Because being an official is a kind of honor to Cao Kun, who was poor since he was a child, and it is a matter of honoring his ancestors.So what Cao Kun has always wanted most is to climb up without listening.At that time, Duan Qirui saw Cao Kun's mentality, so he promised him the position of vice president, so as to win Cao Kun to fight against Feng Guozhang.

It is not enough for Cao Kun to be a patrol envoy to Shandong and Henan. He also wants to be the prime minister of the cabinet and the president.

Therefore, he was very angry when he heard that Duan Xun meant to dismiss him from his position.Damn Duan Xun, what enmity do I have with you, why did you dismiss me from my post.Therefore, Cao Kun hesitated and said: "I give up Beijing, and Duan Degong has to dismiss me."

Gao Lingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Duan Xun is so smart.

It is only aimed at the few people who are currently fighting, and has nothing to say about the Beijing government.Moreover, Ma Lianjia, the governor of Anhui who rebelled before the Zhiwan War, and Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, did not do much. Instead, they invited their representatives to Wuchang to discuss the following matters.

But Cao Kun has reached this time, and what he can't forget is his official position.

So he sighed and said, "Marshal, it should be impossible."

"What should I do?"

Cao Kun was angry.

Do you really want to remove yourself from office?Seeing Cao Kun's appearance, Gao Lingxuan could only say, "Marshal, let's resign."

"Resign?"

"Commander, Duan Xun's troops are not far away from Beijing. If you really want to attack Beijing, you can arrive in Beijing within a few hours. Don't let others dismiss the post of commander. Resignation is the best Method."

Gao Lingxuan didn't say it directly.

That is how embarrassing it is to be dismissed.It's better to be decent and choose to go to the field by yourself.

Cao Kun couldn't help but look in the direction of the presidential palace.Cao Kun is not a fool, but he is really reluctant to bear his official position.Now that Gao Lingyu has said so, Cao Kun has nothing to do.

"Ok."

Cao Kun let out a long sigh.

Then resign.

…………

With Duan Xun's statement, the meaning is already very clear.

Seeing that Duan Xun didn't intend to pursue everyone's responsibility further, many people in the direct line knew what to do.

On June 1920, 6, Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu, issued a telegram in Xuzhou, expressing his resignation from the post of governor of Jiangsu.As Li Chun announced his resignation, the Jiangsu frontline troops surrendered one after another.

Some people surrendered to Lu Yongxiang, some people evacuated Jiangsu and entered Shandong, and surrendered to Duan Xun.

The two armies of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been fighting endlessly, and many troops are unwilling to surrender to Lu Yongxiang.Originally, some troops were willing to surrender to the Anhui Governor Ma Lianjia.However, Ma Lianjia is now like an ant on a hot pot, and is worried that Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang will pursue the matter of expelling Anhui Governor Ni Sichong before him.Therefore, at this juncture, how dare they take in Li Chun's troops.

Therefore Li Chun's troops surrendered to Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang respectively.

Especially Lu Yongxiang.

As Li Chun's power completely dissipated, Lu Yongxiang's power rose sharply.Lu Yongxiang's troops started to go north from southern Jiangsu, and both central and northern Jiangsu became Lu Yongxiang's territory.Although Lu Yongxiang only got Jiangsu in this direct Anhui war, Jiangsu is the richest province in China, which allowed Lu Yongxiang's strength to increase rapidly.After winning the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions, Lu Yongxiang's annual income can reach nearly [-] million.

After all, the Yangtze River Delta is the richest place in China even now.With this money, Lu Yongxiang can support more troops.

On June 1920, 6, as Li Chun announced his resignation, Cao Kun had no choice.

In Beijing, he announced his resignation as the patrol envoy of Zhilu and Henan.

At the same time, several generals on Cao Kun's side, Cao Kun's younger brother Cao Rui also resigned as the governor of Zhili, and Wu Peifu resigned as the governor of Shandong.So far, several important figures of Cao Kun have announced their resignation.Their idea is very simple. Compared with being dismissed, it is most honorable to resign on their own initiative.

So far, the overall situation of the Zhiwan War has been decided.

Cao Kun and his generals announced their resignation one after another, and the generals of Cao Kun's army also gave up resistance. On June 1920, 6, the governor of Suiyuan concurrently served as the commander of the First Division of the Central Army Cai Chengxun, the commander of Chahar the commander of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Central Army Zhang Xiyuan, and the governor of Rehe concurrently served as the commander of the No.10 Division of the Central Army Wang Huaiqing. Commander of the Beijing Garrison, Sun Yue, Commander of the No.13 Mixed Brigade of the Central Army, Feng Yuxiang, Commander of the No.15 Mixed Brigade of the Central Army, and Wang Chengbin, Commander of the No.16 Third Division of the Central Army, who was hit hard on the front line, issued a telegram hoping to end the war on the front line. Willing to accept Duan Xun's command.

It can be seen that Cao Kun's troops are still very powerful.

It's just that the Beiyang Army in this era rarely talked about fighting hard, or that it was life and death.Because the Beiyang Army has the same origin after all, everyone is either a classmate or a teacher-student relationship, and the direct line and the Anhui line are not so clear.Therefore, when both Zhiwan and Anhui are fighting, once one side is absolutely weak, they will immediately choose to go to the field.

When there is a chance in the future, you can come back again.

Duan Qirui was like this last year, and so is Cao Kun this year.

There are still many troops in the hands of both sides, but there is no way to win the war, so they choose to go to the field.Following Cao Kun's statement, the Anhui Department of the Zhiwan War has completely won.

Liu Xiang, Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army, has already brought the Independent Division (Commander Duan Kan), the Independent Brigade (Commander He Guoguang), and the Third Brigade (Commander Jiang Shijie) of the Garrison Division (Commander Hu Jingyi) under the Group Army to Beijing. , contacted the Beijing garrison, Sun Yue's No.15 mixed brigade, and Wang Chengbin's troops retreating from the front line.

What's next?

The whole country is watching.Will Duan Xun, the supervisor of border defense, become the new president or the new prime minister?But soon everyone has the answer. On June 1920, 6, President Xu Shichang approved the addition of two deputy prime ministers to the cabinet.

Duan Xun, the Border Defense Supervision Office, was appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and Dai Kan, the Office of the Frontier Defense Council, was appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shichang appointed the interim cabinet premier Wang Chonghui to officially become the cabinet premier.As the prime minister, Wang Chonghui appointed the newly-appointed deputy prime minister Duan Xun as the chief of the Ministry of Army, Wang Yongjiang as the chief of the Ministry of Finance, Yu Youren as the chief of the Ministry of Communications, and Zhang Lan as the chief of the Ministry of Agriculture.

With the appointment of the Beijing government, Duan Xun expressed his firm support for the Beijing government in Wuchang, and sent a telegram to ask Zhang Zuolin to step down.

Of course Zhang Zuolin would not listen to Duan Xun's words.

After returning to Fengtian, he began to shrink the front line and prepare for war.At Duan Xun's request, on June 1920, 6, Wang Chonghui announced the dismissal of Zhang Zuolin from the post of tour envoy to the three eastern provinces.

But Zhang Zuolin was more rigid.

On June 1920, 6, the Northeast was declared independent and no longer obeyed the orders of the Beijing government.

"Zhang Zuolin is very courageous."

Wuchang.

Everyone on Duan Xun's side was smiling.Because everyone is about to enter Beijing, Liu Xiang has been appointed by Duan Xun as the commander of the Gyeonggi garrison, and has begun to hoard troops around Beijing, and is also reorganizing the immediate rebels.

do the last thing.

Just to welcome Duan Xun and the others to Beijing, the people on Duan Xun's side are also preparing to enter Beijing.Negotiations between Yang Yongtai and the Beijing government have also reached a final result, and the Beijing government currently has no negotiating capital.Apart from the fact that they still have righteous names, they have no strength to challenge Duan Xun at all.If it weren't for Duan Xun not wanting to go to war at the moment, how could Duan Xun continue to retain the current Beijing government.Therefore, Duan Xun was willing to maintain the stability of the Beijing government, and Xu Shichang and Wang Chonghui also made a big step forward.

So everyone is very happy.

Duan Xun was very surprised.Duan Xun can understand Zhang Zuolin's refusal to dismiss him.After all, Zhang Zuolin still has nearly [-] troops, as well as Fengtian and half of Jilin.

It is impossible for the Beijing government to do whatever it wants.

But Duan Xun really didn't expect him to be so stubborn.It turned out to directly declare independence and want to break away from the Beijing government.

"Teacher, what do you think we should do?"

"Can you still fight?"
