Beiyang reactionaries

This is not counting.

Duan Xun began to reorganize the national naval forces.

Although China's navy is small, it still has three major navies.The former Guardian Fleet in Guangzhou was appointed as the First Fleet of the Navy, the naval force previously subordinate to Lu Yongxiang was appointed as the Second Fleet, and the Qingdao and former Jihei Fleets were reorganized into the Third Fleet.

Let the Third Fleet approach some of Fengtian's sea ports.

More than that.

Duan Xun built a military airport outside Beijing and parked more than 20 planes here.They were still dispatched every day, flying to the top of Fengjun's head to show off their might.And began to have a large number of cannons pulled to the front line, including a large number of shells.

Looked like he was going to fight.

Duan Xun's meaning is very simple.If Zhang Zuolin does not withdraw his troops to Fengtian, then he must fight.The armed forces of the sea, land and air are all ready to attack Fengtian.Duan Xun also approached the Japanese, saying that Zhang Zuolin could not go back on what everyone had agreed upon.

At that time, if Japan hadn't negotiated peace in the middle, how could there be a truce with Zhang Zuolin.

Duan Xun told the Japanese very straightforwardly that if Zhang Zuolin continued to occupy Jilin, then Duan Xun could not be blamed for continuing the war.

Zhang Zuolin couldn't stand up to Duan Xun's various arrangements in the end.The main reason is that the Feng army was defeated in the Second Zhiwan War and lost half of the army, so that it has not fully recovered until now.Zhang Zuolin did not have the confidence to fight Duan Xun in this battle.Therefore, in desperation, Zhang Zuolin finally announced that all troops would withdraw to Fengtian.The important cities of Jilin, Harbin, Changchun, and Jilin were all handed over to Duan Xun's troops.Li Yunlong's troops went south to control the important cities of Jilin one after another.

Let a lot of people breathe a sigh of relief.

It's fine if there's no war.

After all, the Zhiwan War just now, as well as the Guangdong-Guangxi War, etc., suffered heavy casualties.In less than a month of war, the combined casualties of all parties can be about 10.After the founding of the Republic of China, when was there a war of this scale and such a level of casualties.

Because no one wants to continue fighting.

In this way, time slowly entered the end of the year. At first, everyone thought that they would have a peaceful life.But on November 1920, 11, Lu Yongxiang, the newly appointed Yangtze River patrol envoy, was electrified.

He accused Ma Lianjia, the newly-appointed Anhui military governor, of having suppressed the student movement and that the procedures for serving as Anhui military governor were incorrect.It was because of bribing Cao Kun that he was able to become the governor of Anhui.The cabinet is required to re-examine the position of the Overseer of the Ma Lianjia.

At the same time, Li Houji, the governor of Fujian, was also accused.

It means that opium is currently rampant in the southeast region, and the opium comes from Fujian.Later, he criticized Li Houji, thinking that the flood of opium in Fujian was because Li Houji used opium as military pay.Inferior people are not qualified to serve as Fujian governors.

Settle accounts after autumn.

This is everyone's opinion.

At the most important moment of the Zhiwan War, Ma Lianjia and Li Houji, who are the generals of the Anhui Department, turned against each other.Although they did not participate in the Zhiwan war in the end, just their defection before the war was enough to make Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang of the Anhui faction angry.Moreover, their defection almost ruined the major event of the Anhui Department.

Now this is pulling the list.

No one can say anything about this.Including President Xu Shichang and Prime Minister Wang Chonghui, they can't say anything.No one even in public opinion thinks that there is anything wrong with what Lu Yongxiang did.

To put it bluntly, after the Anhui faction won the war, they punished their internal traitors.

Who can say anything.

Since ancient times, those who come out to eat inside and outside of a team have been despised by others.This is the case with Ma Lianjia and Li Houji.The Anhui Faction has never treated them badly, but at the most important moment of the Zhiwan War, they almost ruined the big event of the Anhui Faction.

Now that the Anhui Clan has won, Duan Xun and the others want to punish them, and no one says this is wrong.

Soon there was news from the cabinet.

On Dec 1920th, 12, although Anhui governor Ma Lianjia and Fujian governor Li Houji defended themselves, the cabinet still issued an order.The Anhui governor Ma Lianjia and the Fujian governor Li Houji were dismissed from their positions.

Zhang Wensheng, the former commander of the Dingwu Army of Zhang Xun's army, was appointed to take over as the governor of Anhui, and he accepted the order of Lu Yongxiang, the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River.Let Wan Xuancai's troops enter Fujian, start to rectify the Fujian army, and start to ban smoking.

This can be regarded as Duan Xun's biggest move since he entered Beijing.

But still relatively smooth.

There is little resistance.

Because Duan Xun actually did not touch the real interests of those local warlords.It was Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang's cooperation to eliminate Ma Lianjia and Li Houji, and it was only a matter of the Anhui troops clearing out the traitors.

So far, the real Second Straight Anhui War has come to an end.

The result was a big victory for the Anhui Department.

Cao Kun, the representative of the direct line, lost control of Beijing.Control of Zhili, Shandong, Beijing, Suiyuan, Chahar, and Rehe has been lost one after another.

Li Chun, another big brother in the direct line, lost Jiangsu, and Chen Guangyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, lost Jiangxi.

Then there is Zhang Zuolin's Feng Jun.

The Feng army lost Jilin and Heilongjiang, and only kept a province of Fengtian.Moreover, the Anhui Department also dealt with the two "anti-bones" before the Zhiwan War, the Anhui Governor Ma Lianjia and the Fujian Governor Li Houji.

The strength of Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang of the Anhui Department has greatly increased.

Duan Xun needless to say.

Not only swallowed Gansu, but also took Jiangxi and Fujian one after another, and took all the areas controlled by Cao Kun.Now Duan Xun has almost controlled more than 80.00% of the provinces in the country, and he has moved into Beijing again, becoming the largest power faction in the country.

And Lu Yongxiang, the former governor of Zhejiang, not only defeated Li Chun, but also took control of Jiangsu.Moreover, as a patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, Lu Yongxiang currently controls Anhui in name.As for Lu Yongxiang's ability to control Anhui, that is his ability.

If he has the ability to control Anhui, then his strength will continue to increase.Of course, if he is incapable of controlling Anhui, then he is not capable enough.

"How come there are so many?"

Although some urgent matters have been dealt with, there are still a lot of things at the end of the year.

Cabinet meetings are also frequent. On December 1920, 12, the cabinet met again.In fact, the meeting started at noon, but there were too many things to deal with.And in the end, this matter was too big, so it was already late at night and the meeting was not over.After everyone simply had dinner, they could only continue the meeting.The problem discussed is simple, but it is a big matter that cannot be easily resolved.The big powers have sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking China to start repaying the money.

Because during the First World War, the big powers stopped China's indemnity and repayment in order to win over China.At that time, China was given five years. Now that the time has come, the big powers began to demand that China continue to pay back the money.

It was the first time for Duan Xun to see the money that China wanted to pay back in such detail.

amazing.

No wonder the Beijing government has been out of money.

The income was not high in the first place, and so much money had to be paid back.Plus interest, the amount of money to be repaid is unclear.How can the Beijing government keep some money when paying so much money every year?At that time, if you have no money, you can only continue to borrow from foreign countries, which is such a vicious circle.

"Prime Minister Duan, that's not all."

Yan Huiqing reported to Duan Xun.

With a wry smile, he said, "Prime Minister Duan, they haven't asked us to repay Boxer's indemnity, and Duan Hefei borrowed more than 1 million yen from Japan. If all these are included, next year our Beijing government will have to pay at least six 7000 million. Even if these are not counted, there will be more than 4000 million repayments next year. And a loan of [-] million taels from a foreign bank in the first year of the Republic of China will expire next year. The money has to be paid."

"call--"

Everyone in the cabinet couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It's amazing.
