Beiyang reactionaries

After all, Xu Shichang is 66 years old this year, and he was an official in the Manchu Qing court until he was 56 years old.It can be said that he was "deeply favored by the emperor", and he should have feelings for the Manchu Dynasty.

If the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is completely negated, then how should the history of court officials like Xu Shichang be evaluated.Therefore, even for their own sake, they cannot completely deny that period of Manchu history.

"President, you are right. Qing Dynasty abdicates, no soldiers and no power, I really didn't take him seriously."

"That's it."

Duan Xun looked down on Qing Shi, and Xu Shichang agreed.

Duan Xun was born as a general of the Beiyang Army, and he is actually in the same line as Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, and Cao Kun.What is the biggest characteristic of these generals of the Beiyang Army? All of them believe in fists and strength.For them, there is nothing more useful than fists.

What does the Qing royal family have now.

Shit no.

Can't take out any strength.With hundreds of thousands of soldiers like Duan Xun, how can the big boss who controls the Beijing government take the Manchu imperial family seriously.

"I heard that if you let the royal family leave the Forbidden City, you will also be cut off from the annual payment of 400 million yuan."

"Yes."

"Why bother? Let them go."

Xu Shichang said while looking at Duan Xun's face.

However, Duan Xun's face was normal, and he couldn't see the slightest thought.Before Duan Xun came, he knew that Xu Shichang was definitely going to say this, and he was already mentally prepared.So not surprised at all.

The two were silent for a while.

When Xu Shichang was about to lose his patience, Duan Xuncai said: "President, I am not targeting the royal family. I just think that since the Republic of China was established, there should be no existence of such a divorced society, and there should be no so-called royal family." existence. I think the imperial family should become an ordinary nation of the Republic of China, which can have the same rights and obligations as other citizens of the Republic of China.”

Duan Xun didn't talk about the restoration case at all.

Now, especially when Duan Xun sent people to negotiate with the royal family, everyone knows what's going on.A smart person like Xu Shichang understood Duan Xun's meaning even more.Duan Xuncha's restoration case is just an excuse.

In fact, the restoration case has a fart relationship with Duan Xun.

How many years have passed.

In front of Xu Shichang, Duan Xun didn't want to be so hypocritical, so he didn't talk about the issue from any legal perspective.Duan Xun continued: "Also, President. The royal family has no obstacles to me, but I am really short of money. 400 million a year, and other expenses, need 700 million a year. To be honest, I really lack money. Money, the government really doesn’t have any extra money to support the royal family.”

"Is the government of Nuoda still short of this money? Degong, I heard that the government's revenue has risen sharply this year. Many people predict that the fiscal revenue will exceed [-] million."

Xu Shichang sighed.

Xu Shichang understood what Duan Xun meant.

After all, it is still a matter of money.

To support the royal family, the government needs 700 million yuan every year.In addition, it also needs to manage the livelihood of some poor people in the Eight Banners, which requires tens of millions of expenditures a year.Xu Shichang has heard that Duan Xun will expand the army by 30 at the cabinet meeting, and ask the Ministry of Finance to increase military pay by 5000 million.

However, Wang Yongjiang, the Chief Financial Officer, pushed him back, and he was only willing to increase by 1000 million.

Duan Xun is short of money.

Want to save money.

But Xu Shichang was not satisfied.The money looks like a lot, but it's actually not much at all.After Duan Xun took over the Beijing government, it was the first time that the Beijing government directly controlled so many provinces after the founding of the Republic of China.The annual income is amazing.

Now everyone analyzes that the fiscal revenue of the Beijing government will exceed [-] million this year.

It's only a few dollars to support the royal family.

"Yes, this year's fiscal revenue will definitely exceed 5000 million. But President, this year's fiscal deficit will be [-] to [-] million. Now our government's finances are also tearing apart east walls to supplement west walls. It is very difficult. For these fiscal deficits, The government can only mortgage next year's tax revenue to the bank and then borrow from the bank. And although foreign governments and banks delay our repayment time, the annual interest must be repaid. The president should also know this money. These interests are tens of millions. The government really has no money.”

"Is there no other way?"

"President, the royal family is still rich. Even if they leave the Forbidden City, they are still the top richest people in China. I will not touch their private property. Why should they care about those false names. Go out honestly and become a rich family and cultivate them well. It’s fine for the younger generation.”

Seeing Xu Shichang's ugly face, Duan Xun continued: "President, I'll just say something directly. I was born in the Beiyang Army, and as the president said, I did return to study in Japan with public funds. In view of these origins, I can let the royal family go. But the generals under my command are different. Currently Li Jishen is in Guangzhou, Shang Zhen is in Rehe, Liu Xiang is in Zhili, Hu Jingyi is in Tianjin, Yang Hucheng is in Jinan, Li Yunlong is in Changchun , Xiong Qixun and Yuan Zuming in Gansu are both from the Revolutionary Party. They have long been dissatisfied with the government supporting the royal family."

"There are also Yang Wei, the commander-in-chief in charge of disaster relief, Dai Kan, the deputy prime minister, and You Min, who is in charge of the police system. It can give the royal family a face, but if they make a move, the royal family will lose their face."

Listening to Duan Xun's words, Xu Shichang's face became more and more ugly.

revolutionary party.

After Duan Xun said this, Xu Shichang discovered that Duan Xun's troops were indeed self-contained.Although Duan Xun was born as a warlord of the Anhui faction, his army has little to do with the Anhui faction.

Look at these revolutionaries.

People in the army don't say anything, because they were all juniors in the year of [-], and many of them were even students.But the people mentioned later are different.Yang Wei is a leader of the Sichuan Revolutionary Party that even Yuan Shikai is worried about. Dai Kan is a student of Liang Qichao and a leader of the Yunnan-Guizhou Army.Then there is You Min, the leader of the Shandong Revolutionary Party.

These few people became famous in the year of [-] and contributed a lot to the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In fact, Xu Shichang didn't believe Duan Xun's words.Because Duan Xun's control over his own troops was even incomparable to that of Yuan Shikai in the past.As long as Duan Xun is in his current position, no one in his troops would dare to rebel.

But Xu Shichang was still worried.

That is, once Duan Xun is too soft, he will let his subordinates take action against the royal family.Duan Xun has a good saying. Duan Xun himself was born in the Beiyang Army. In view of the relationship between so many Beiyang Army bosses and the Manchu royal family and clan, he might not go too far.

But the people under Duan Xun are different.

They have no such connection with the royal family.Once they make a move, the royal family really doesn't have any dignity.Maybe that group of "Qiu Ba" will directly use the army to drive away the royal family.

Xu Shichang and Duan Xun were silent and walked together for a long time.

Xu Shichang finally said: "Degong, give the royal family more dignity."

"it is good."

Duan Xun nodded.

After thinking for a while, he said: "President, the 'restoration case' investigation is getting tighter and tighter. The royal family wants more decency. I hope the president can persuade the royal family to accept our conditions. If our people fail to negotiate with them At that time, even if I want to leave the royal family with dignity, it will be impossible. The conditions I gave are already very good. I just need the royal family to leave the Forbidden City and let them go outside to live an ordinary life."

"I see."

Xu Shichang accepted it helplessly.

Because Xu Shichang understood what Duan Xun meant.Among the current big shots in Beijing, only Xu Shichang is qualified to persuade the royal family and make the royal family obedient.

"President, please."

negotiation.

A very good negotiator is very important in the negotiation, but the bargaining chip of both parties is more important than the negotiation.Just like during the Opium War, don’t say that you don’t understand modern diplomacy at all, even if someone understands it, it’s useless.
