Beiyang reactionaries

"Fucheng, tell me about the current situation."

"Yes."

Liu Xiang stood up and said, "Teacher, the biggest problem at present is how to deal with the captured troops and the surrendered troops. In this war, Zhili and Shandong captured a total of more than 7000 people. The troops who surrendered to our department have 5000 people. Many of these surrendered troops were organized surrenders. So some troops disarmed, but many troops I just ordered them to stand by."

There are many troops.

Cao Kun had nearly 20 troops, and nearly 4 people were killed or injured in the half-month war. More than 3 people were captured and surrendered in Zhili and Shandong alone.There are also more than [-] Cao Kun troops who surrendered to Shang Zhen in Chahar.

too much.

Without the order from above, Liu Xiang couldn't do anything to them.

After all, Duan Xun didn't have a clear order here, and the frontline generals didn't dare to reorganize these troops at will.

"Brother Jinfan (Xiong Kewu), see if there is any way to solve the current problem as soon as possible."

"General, we still have a lot of experience in reorganizing the troops. For those captives, some of whom were disarmed after surrendering, the troops were completely disrupted. Let them receive a new education in the recruit company, learn the military discipline of our army, and then supplement them Various units. As for those units that have surrendered in an organized system, first set up a military law department and a logistics unit in the unit. Get stuck on the logistics and military discipline of these new units, and then educate them on military discipline. More specifically, you need to plan slowly .”

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

indeed.

In reorganizing other people's troops, Duan Xun dare not say that he is familiar with the road, but he definitely has a lot of experience.Because Duan Xun had reorganized many troops before, he controlled the military pay of those troops, controlled the weapons and ammunition of the troops, and controlled the military discipline of the troops.As long as this is done, these troops will basically be unable to escape.

Especially now that Duan Xun has an absolute advantage and these troops are in panic all day long, these methods are even more effective.

"Brother Chaofan (You Min)."

"General."

"The troops in Zhili and Shandong are the establishment of the military law department and logistics troops among the troops that have surrendered. You are fully responsible. Coordinate with the military law department, logistics department, and equipment department. All surrendered troops within one month must be Complete the establishment of these departments. No army has the right to collect local taxes privately, raise military salaries privately and purchase arms privately."

"Yes."

"Fucheng (Liu Xiang), you must fully cooperate."

"Yes."

Duan Xun turned his head to Xiong Kewu and said: "Brother Jinfan (Xiong Kewu), your Military Affairs Department immediately investigates the current situation of the troops across the country, as well as the situation of these captives and surrendered troops. Make a new plan for reorganizing the troops. Within a year The reorganization of the various units must be completed."

"Yes."

Cao Kun's troops must be reorganized and absorbed as soon as possible.

Only by reorganizing them can Duan Xun be regarded as a real victory.At that time, with the provinces controlled by Duan Xun and the army controlled by Duan Xun, no one in the whole country will be able to stop Duan Xun.

Including those great powers.

"I'll talk about other things later. After lunch, we will enter Beijing."

304 Mystery

On July 1920, 7, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Xun finally entered Beijing.

The level of welcoming Duan Xun this time is much higher.

Both Xu Shichang and Wang Chonghui came to greet Duan Xun in person.The two delivered speeches of welcome to Duan Xun respectively.However, although a lot has been said, it is actually formulaic and has no specific content.

After the welcome ceremony, Xu Shichang, Wang Chonghui, and Duan Xun had a brief meeting.

Not much else involved.

Because it was time to talk, Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai had finished talking on behalf of Duan Xun.So it is more of a polite remark, after all, we will cooperate soon.Duan Xun was very polite and gave Xu Shichang and Wang Chonghui enough face.Xu Shichang and Wang Chonghui mainly expressed their support for Duan Xun's work, while Duan Xun wanted to ensure the stability of the Beijing government.

It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Duan Xun returned to the place where he temporarily stayed.

Duan Xun only left Yang Wei.

On some important issues, Duan Xun trusted Yang Wei the most.This is the trust that Duan Xun and Yang Wei have developed after years of cooperation.Although Yang Wei has not participated in these important decisions in recent years, Duan Xun still wanted to ask Yang Wei what he should do now.

"Brother Xinye (Yang Wei), we have entered Beijing now. But there are so many things, I don't know where to start."

"General, how many things do you want to accomplish in a short time."

Yang Wei asked Duan Xun back.

Duan Xun finally entered Beijing from a local warlord.Although he is only the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, everyone knows that Duan Xun is the real controller behind the Beijing government.After all, the current armed forces in Beijing belong to Duan Xun.

Therefore, Duan Xun's political ambitions will influence the policies of the Beijing government.

Duan Xun thought for a while and said: "I have thought about these things. In the next ten years, I hope to accomplish five major things. The first is to let the People's Party control the parliament, change the 'temporary constitution', and implement a presidential system. Since the founding of the Republic of China Since then, the disputes between the government and the court have not been interrupted. This is because there is no clear standard. The confusion between the presidential system and the cabinet system has led to more and more frequent power struggles between the president and the prime minister. I think it should It is clearly stipulated in the Constitution."

Duan Xun did not hide his ambition.

Duan Xun must climb to the position of President.However, before becoming president, Duan Xun had to change the so-called "provisional agreement" passed by Sun Yat-sen and the others in Nanjing.Duan Xun's work in the next few years is to turn China's political system into a presidential system.If this is the case, then Duan Xun must control the cabinet.And the best way to control the cabinet is to increase the strength of the BJP.

Yang Wei didn't show any surprise.

Because Yang Wei already knew what Duan Xun was thinking.When Duan Xun cooperated with Yang Wei in Sichuan in the early years, Duan Xun talked a lot about the future political system of China, and discussed it with Yang Wei many times.

Duan Xun has always believed that a country like China should implement a presidential system.

"The second thing is to complete the unification of China's government orders and military orders, improve the authority of the central government, and strengthen the centralization of power. China is not allowed to have forces that do not obey the orders of the central government. Concentrate the power of the whole country to deal with external challenges."

"The third thing is to complete the construction of railways in China's major cities, so that those major cities and resource locations in China can lay railways. And border areas can also open railways. If they cannot be connected to railways, they must be connected to roads. Complete the initial transportation network .”

"The fourth thing is to reduce rent and interest across the country. Reduce the income of landlords and increase the country's agricultural tax revenue."

"The fifth thing is to take control of the customs from the hands of the big powers. We have all the customs in China completely in our own hands. We set the customs tax rate and control the customs tariff."

Duan Xun slowly expressed his thoughts.

Then he said: "Of course there are still many things we need to do. Such as education, diplomacy, and industrial construction, but I think these five things are the most important, and they must be completed within the next ten years. "

Development is not easy.

Just like the current China, wherever you want to develop, you can develop.The big powers around China are eyeing it covetously. The country itself does not have much capital, insufficient technology accumulation, and owes a huge amount of debt to the big powers.Therefore, Duan Xun has a lot of things to do, but Duan Xun believes that if these five things are done well in the next ten years, then other things can be done well.As long as these things are accomplished in the next ten years, Duan Xun believes that his administration will not be regarded as a failure.

Yang Wei nodded slightly.

The reason why Yang Wei chose to support Duan Xun back then was because Duan Xun had a very clear plan for his future.There is also a clear goal and idea on how to develop China and how to rid China of foreigners.

This is different from many forces in this era.

That's why Yang Wei supported Duan Xun.
