Beiyang reactionaries

After a long meeting, everyone was very tired.

Don't think that a meeting is just drinking tea and chatting, it's a very relaxing thing.This is a cabinet meeting, and any decision may change the history of China, and any decision will be related to huge differences of interests.It should be said that it is likely to be related to everyone's interests.

Just like Sun Danlin.

He was the most injured in this meeting and lost the huge benefits of his Ministry of Internal Affairs.The Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Police, and the Ministry of Health, which originally belonged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have all become independent, and more than half of the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has disappeared.

Of course, even so, Sun Danlin, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is also an important figure.Because in addition to these powers, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also has a huge power.

That is cadre management.

That is, the former Ministry of Officials, the role of the Organization Department of New China, has the power of personnel management.It can be seen the strength of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and how powerful the Ministry of Internal Affairs is.If it weren't for the chaos in the Beijing government back then, how could Sun Danlin have the opportunity to win such an important department as the Ministry of Internal Affairs.So this kind of cabinet meeting, everyone will cheer up.Afraid that if you don't pay attention, your own interests will be damaged.If, like Sun Danlin, he loses so much power, he will cry.

And this is the first time.

It is absolutely rare that a Cabinet meeting covers so many issues and lasts so long.For these contents, the cabinet meeting has been held for three full days.

"I think it's better to continue the original Overseer."

When Duan Xun asked, Dai Kan, as the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, was the first to speak.

Dai Kan entered the role very quickly.

Since Duan Xun became the interim prime minister, Dai Kan knew what he was going to do.Because Dai Kan's goal is to become the prime minister himself.

Even if the future prime minister does not have the current power, Dai Kan's goal is still the prime minister.But it is not so easy to become the prime minister of the cabinet.

Duan Xun's subordinates are not one or two who are suitable to become the prime minister of the cabinet.Not to mention others, Wang Yongjiang, who was just nominated as the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, is Duan Xun's direct descendant and has always been Duan Xun's pocketbook.

Others such as Yang Wei, Li Zhanyang who was nominated to be the head of the State Administration of Taxation, and Jiang Hongyu who was in charge of sorting out the financial affairs of the provinces across the country, these are all people who have the opportunity to enter the cabinet in the hands of Duan Xun and become the prime minister of the cabinet in the future.

Therefore, Dai Kan did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"Prime Minister, and everyone, we implement the division of military and civilian rule for the sake of domestic stability and long-term stability. It is not to bring chaos to the local area. Therefore, I think it is not appropriate to make too many changes in the position of the military governor. Only in this way can a smooth transition be achieved. .”

High-sounding.

After Dai Kan finished speaking, many people present thought the same way.

Dai Kan looked sanctimonious, and his words were so sweet.But who doesn't know that the power of the Overseer will soon be greatly reduced, and it is completely incomparable with the previous Overseer.

The former warlords were all local princes, and they kept their promises in the local area.But according to the current situation, the local warlord is a military logistics department and the location to manage local troops.Not only must obey the orders of the cabinet, but also the orders of the Ministry of War, and even be subject to the financial restrictions of the local government.It is completely different from before.

Those people continued to serve as local military governors, and they didn't necessarily scold Dai Kan psychologically.

But look at how "awe-inspiring" Dai Kan said.

"continue?"

"Yes."

Dai Kan nodded.Then he said: "For the stability of the place and the smooth transition of the local government, I think it is very necessary to continue the original warlord. But there is an exception here."

"Tell me."

"Xinjiang. Prime Minister, and everyone, Xinjiang is located in the frontier, and what it needs is stability. Frontier security is more important than anything else. Therefore, I think Xinjiang should not change too much for the time being, and it should not place too many restrictions on the power of the warlord."

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

The situation in the Soviet Union had begun to stabilize, and the war was almost over.The power of the Soviet Union began to infiltrate the Far East.Although their war wounds are still very serious, and their strength in the Far East is also very poor, but Duan Xun cannot ignore their influence.

Xinjiang has long been a battleground between Britain and Russia.It was Russia that slowly gained the upper hand.If it hadn't been for the First World War and the subsequent Russian Civil War, Xinjiang might have become the second Outer Mongolia.

Yang Zengxin, the current governor of Xinjiang, is a figure with mixed reputations.

But no matter what this person is, this person has made a huge contribution to the stability of Xinjiang and the defense of the frontier.This person has strong wrists. Under the attack of Britain and Russia, Xinjiang can maintain a semi-independent state and has not separated from China. There is no doubt about Yang Zengxin's ability.

When Duan Xun is still unable to take care of Xinjiang, it is also a good way to let Yang Zengxin stay in Xinjiang.

"En. What's your opinion?"

Duan Xun turned his gaze to the others.

"Prime Minister, I also agree with Premier Dai's views. Xinjiang is a frontier province, and stability is the first priority. It is not appropriate to change too much for the time being. We should fully support Yang Zengxin's authority as the governor of Xinjiang."

Yang Yongtai answered.

Whether it is Dai Kan or Yang Yongtai, they are all direct descendants of Duan Xun in the cabinet.Knowing that Duan Xun's main goal this year is Lu Yongxiang, there will be no major changes in other places.

So agree immediately.

"The problem in Xinjiang is like this, so other provinces should also talk about it. Especially the candidates for the governors of each province. Premier Dai, let me talk about your views first."

"Yes."

In fact, these things have already been discussed.Now it's just through Dai Kan's mouth to say it.

"Prime Minister, Fengtian and Xinjiang also have many similarities."

Dai Kan continued to speak.

"Fengtian borders the Korean Peninsula, and Japan has a lot of interests in Fengtian. It is beneficial to us to stabilize the situation in Fengtian at this stage. Regarding Xinjiang and Fengtian, I think stability is more important than everything at present. From the perspective of stability, I It is recommended that Yuan Jinkai serve as Governor of Fengtian."

Yuan Jinkai, a famous traitor in history.

But at present, Yuan Jinkai is Zhang Zuolin's most trusted person and is Zhang Zuolin's secretary-general.Let Yuan Jinkai be the governor of Fengtian, then Zhang Zuolin is still in charge of Fengtian.

Of course, Yuan Jinkai's ambition is not small.

It might be useful in the future.

"continue."

"Yan Xishan continues to serve as the governor of Shanxi. Governor of Shanxi, I propose the former deputy governor of Shanxi, and the current guard of southern Shanxi, Zhang Peimei."

The so-called separation of the army and the people is to elevate the status of some people and suppress the strength of the warlord.

Especially this time, the strength of the warlord is limited a lot, and the power of the governor will be greatly enhanced.After all, the governor will become the head of government affairs, controlling the province's police force, controlling the province's financial power, and controlling the province's personnel appointments.In the future, there will be local military governors. The funds they need will also require the cooperation of the governors of the provinces.

Ambition.

Everyone has ambitions.Anyone who came to the position of governor, coupled with the fact that the power of the overseer was greatly restricted, would have new ambitions.

Such as Yan Xishan and Zhang Peimei.

Both of them were great heroes for the restoration of Shanxi. Yan Xishan was the governor of Shanxi, and Zhang Peimei served as the deputy governor of Shanxi.After that, Zhang Peimei also held many important positions, and currently serves as the guard envoy of southern Shanxi.They are all bigwigs in the military, political, police, and business circles in Shanxi.

He is the governor of Shanxi, even if Shanxi is still Yan Xishan's territory, he can't do whatever he wants.
