Beiyang reactionaries

Could this be Duan Xun's meaning?Once this happens, Duan Xun will truly centralize power and concentrate the power of the cabinet on a few people.When the time comes, Duan Xun will not need to consult the opinions of the chief ministers of the cabinet, and can decide within a small range.Not only Dai Kan thought so, but many other people also thought so.

Duan Xun was quite helpless.

Because this is really not Duan Xun's idea.But in this case, it is indeed very beneficial to Duan Xun at present.As a politician, Yang Yongtai is really very powerful.

Accurately grasped Duan Xun's thoughts.

He sought power for himself, but he cleverly brought Duan Xun in.

"Prime Minister Dai, what do you think?"

"Makes sense."

Dai Kan was angry.

Because in this way, power is divided, and it is Dai Kan's power that is divided.But Dai Kan is not a irascible 20-year-old, but a mature politician who has been in the political arena for more than ten years.

Regardless of whether Yang Yongtai's proposal was his own idea or Duan Xun's instruction, it is a favorable proposal for Duan Xun anyway.In other words, it is a very favorable proposal for Duan Xun's team to control the Beijing government.

Therefore, Dai Kan can only support at this time.If Dai Kan vetoes Yang Yongtai's proposal for his own power, it will not only offend Yang Yongtai.It will also offend Duan Xun and many people in Duan Xun's camp.

So he can only nod.

"kindness."

Duan Xun was very satisfied with Yang Yongtai.

too smart.

Said what Duan Xun wanted to do, but hadn't had time to do it yet.Therefore, he immediately said: "Secretary-General Yang's proposal is good. I want to set up a cabinet standing committee in the cabinet, and the cabinet standing committee will be responsible for the daily work. The establishment of the standing committee still needs to be brewed to see if it is five people or seven. One person, or nine people. Before it is officially confirmed, the cabinet will appoint some temporary standing committee members. Before the formal standing committee members are born, the temporary cabinet standing committee will first handle the daily work of the cabinet. What do you think?"

"Yes."

"agree."

That's all, everyone can only nod.Duan Xun looked at these people and said: "Then I will temporarily appoint some standing committees. I recommend myself as the chairman of the cabinet standing committee. Chang (Yang Yongtai)..."

Having said this, Duan Xun paused.

All eyes were on Duan Xun.Because everyone knows that there is a big difference between the so-called cabinet standing committee members and ordinary cabinet chiefs.

If an ordinary cabinet chief is usually only in charge of the work of his own department, then this so-called standing committee member can be in charge of the daily work of the cabinet.In terms of status, he is already half a level higher than the ordinary cabinet chief.

Everyone thought of Dai Kan, Wang Yongjiang, and Yang Yongtai.

So what's next?

who will it be.

Sun Danlin knew that he had little chance, but he still looked at Duan Xun.Because in terms of status, the Ministry of the Interior is the one with the highest status in the cabinet.

When choosing a cabinet standing member, I must be the first.Even if this is a temporary Cabinet Standing Committee member, everyone is still very eager.

But Duan Xun slowly spit out a name that surprised everyone.

"Minister Yan (Yan Huiqing) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

340 big changes

In the 11th year of the Republic of China, 1922.

The cabinet meeting after the beginning of the year was still very concerned by many media, including many government agencies below, as well as various provinces.Because the whole country has been considered stable in the past year and a half. Although there have been some minor disturbances, overall it has been the most stable year and a half since the founding of the Republic of China.There was no war between the Beiyang Army and the Revolutionary Party, nor internal strife between the Beiyang Army, nor the most common dispute between government and court.

In fact, in other words, after the founding of the Republic of China, the unstable Beijing government began to stabilize.Duan Xun, the local warlord who won the Second Zhiwan War in 1920, has stabilized the Beijing government and has truly controlled the Beijing government.It is precisely because Duan Xun strongly controls the Beijing government that the Beijing government is so stable.

The instability of the Beijing government before was, to put it bluntly, because no one really controlled the Beijing government.Among those who have controlled the Beijing government for so many years, Duan Xun is the strongest, surpassing Yuan Shikai back then.

Now Duan Xun has become the interim prime minister again.

China has officially entered the Duan Xun era.

After Duan Xun entered Beijing for the first time in 1920, the cabinet meeting brought out many new things and many new measures.As well as the cabinet meeting in early 1921, there were many new changes.Now that it is 1922, Duan Xun has become the interim cabinet prime minister again, so there must be some new changes.

So everyone is waiting.

Let's see what will be different in this cabinet meeting and whether there will be some new policies.

The first is simple personnel appointments.

Lang Boyu, who was in charge of establishing the civil affairs system in the Disaster Relief Committee last year, was appointed as the head of the Cabinet Office after the cabinet meeting, and Chen Bulei, who served as the director of the secretariat of interim Prime Minister Duan Xun, was appointed as the head of the Cabinet Propaganda Department. On January 1922, 1, two people appeared in front of everyone as cabinet speakers.

Let me introduce the situation of the cabinet meeting.

It has been very surprising since the first item, and it has surprised many people.Because the cabinet meeting decided to add four new departments to the cabinet departments: the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Health, and the General Administration of Taxation.

Among them, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Police, and the Ministry of Health have become the constituent departments of the cabinet, while the State Administration of Taxation, although at the same level, is a department directly under the cabinet.But the power of the State Administration of Taxation is not small at all. At present, the national taxation agencies, local taxation agencies, and specialized taxation agencies under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, as well as some taxation agencies that have not completely disappeared, will all become the jurisdiction of the State Taxation Administration.In the future, taxation agencies across the country will be subordinate to the State Administration of Taxation.

Of course, this appointment needs to pass Congress to take effect.

On January 1922, 1, the House of Representatives and the Senate passed the cabinet proposal one after another.In fact, speaking seriously, the current number of members of Congress is seriously insufficient.

Because there are those who were expelled and those who resigned themselves, anyway, the number of members of Congress is less than a quarter of the normal number.Many congressmen who left Beijing during the law protection war did not return to the Congress even though the law protection war was over.But Congress can still proceed as usual.

Wang Yitang is definitely very capable in congressional activities.

Amazing mobility.

Moreover, the members who are still able to stay in Congress are basically mere scumbags.Where a few people have real political aspirations.Now that Duan Xun is gaining momentum, no one wants to offend Duan Xun.

Therefore, let this proposal pass quickly.

On January 1922, 1, Duan Xun, as the prime minister of the interim cabinet, announced the order of the cabinet to newly establish the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Health, and the General Administration of Taxation.

Appoint Tan Yankai, head of the logistics department of the former Disaster Relief Committee, as head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, You Min, former director of the Military and Police Coordination Committee, as head of the Police Department, Wang Yue, former health director of the Disaster Relief Committee, as head of the Ministry of Health, and Li Zhanyang, former governor of Sichuan Province, as director of the State Administration of Taxation .

A new round of institutional mergers and separations began.

The Ministry of the Interior suffered the worst losses.

Lost civil affairs jobs, police jobs, and health jobs one after another.

On January 1922, 1, a new cabinet resolution came out again.

That is to formally establish the China Disaster Relief Committee.Duan Xun personally served as the director of the Disaster Relief Committee as interim Prime Minister, Dai Kan and Yang Wei served as the Deputy Directors of the Disaster Relief Committee, Tan Yankai, Chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, You Min, Chief of the Police Department, and Wang Yue, Chief of the Ministry of Health, served as members of the Disaster Relief Committee.

However, some specific powers and responsibilities of the Disaster Relief Committee still need to be improved.But the main responsibilities are already clear. This is a department established to deal with sudden disaster situations.

With the establishment of the Disaster Relief Committee, the cabinet decided to conduct a small-scale trial of the formation of a disaster relief force.A disaster relief force was established in Wuhan, named the Disaster Relief Mobile Force, with three divisions under its jurisdiction.
