Beiyang reactionaries

"Prime Minister, you say."

"At present, there are still many Jiangsu troops under the former Governor Li (Li Chun) in Jiangsu. Brother Xuexuan, you have been in the Jiangsu army for many years, I think you should be very familiar with them."

"Yes."

Chen Tiaoyuan already roughly understood what Duan Xun meant.

Since Chen Tiaoyuan defected to Feng Guozhang in 2, he has been highly regarded by Feng Guozhang and Li Chun, so he has been serving in the Jiangsu army.Therefore, Chen Tiaoyuan has a deep relationship with the Jiangsu army.At present, among Lu Yongxiang's troops, the former Li Chun's Jiangsu troops have more than [-] people.

Chen Tiaoyuan was familiar with them all.

When Duan Xun mentioned this, Chen Tiaoyuan understood that Duan Xun wanted to instigate them against them.

"Brother Xuexuan, what do you think?"

"kindness……"

Chen Tiaoyuan was silent.

Seeing Chen Tiaoyuan's simple and honest face, thinking very seriously there, Duan Xun felt amused.Chen Tiaoyuan, if you look at his appearance, you will definitely think that this person is very honest and a very kind person.

But what?

This person has more ideas than anyone else, and is smarter than anyone else.Moreover, it is a famous chameleon in the history of the Republic of China. In a complex environment, it can choose the party that best suits its own interests every time.

He was hailed by Zhang Zongchang as the most untrustworthy person.

Historically, during the Zhifeng War in 1924, Chen Tiaoyuan served as the guardian of Xuzhou at that time. He was the first-line general under Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Jiangsu at that time, and defended the most important place in Xuzhou.At that time, because of the "Beijing coup", Wu Peifu was defeated on the front line. 10,000+ troops of the Feng army entered the pass, and Qi Xieyuan, the governor of Jiangsu, was already terrified.Because of Wu Peifu's failure, all the direct troops didn't know what to do, and the direct troops on the front line were almost collapsed at the first touch.But at that time, Chen Tiaoyuan was calm and calm, calming the hearts of the soldiers and the people on the front line in Xuzhou, and completely ignored Feng Jun, which made everyone admire him very much.It is said that "Xue Shuai" Chen Tiaoyuan is strategizing, he is the contemporary Zhuge Liang, and he is not worried about Fengjun at all.

But what?

When Fengjun came, Chen Tiaoyuan didn't fire a single shot, and dedicated Xuzhou to Fengjun.Completely forget how people like Feng Guozhang, Li Chun, and Qi Xieyuan promoted him.However, because of the dedication of the important town of Xuzhou, Chen Tiaoyuan was appointed by Zhang Zuolin as the assistant of Jiangsu military affairs and became the second in command of the Jiangsu army.

At this time, it was Yang Yuting, the most valued under Zhang Zuolin, who was appointed as the governor of Jiangsu.Who is Yang Yuting? In Fengjun, he is also arrogant and domineering. Even Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling don't pay attention to him.How could he think highly of Chen Tiaoyuan, who surrendered, and humiliated Chen Tiaoyuan several times.How could Chen Tiaoyuan bear this.

So Chen Tiaoyuan immediately contacted Sun Chuanfang, and Feng Jun, who was attacked inside and outside, threw away his helmet and armor.If Yang Yuting hadn't run fast, he would have died in the hands of Chen Tiaoyuan.Because Chen Tiaoyuan always remembered Yang Yuting's humiliation to him, he ordered the troops to shoot Yang Yuting when they caught him.

And after taking refuge in Sun Chuanfang, Chen Tiaoyuan immediately dedicated Yangzhou to Sun Chuanfang.Sun Chuanfang was overjoyed and appointed Chen Tiaoyuan as the governor of Anhui.But soon it was the Northern Expedition of the Nationalist Government.

Chen Tiaoyuan was very shrewd, and soon hooked up with the Northern Expeditionary Army.I made an alliance with Zhang Zongchang and others, and expressed that I would definitely stop the Northern Expedition.But Chen Tiaoyuan turned around and sold Zhang Zongchang, just like Zhifeng War, he sold his own territory.Then he immediately caught up with Chiang Kai-shek, including when Chiang Kai-shek went to the field, he followed Chiang Kai-shek closely.Chen Tiaoyuan's vision is very good, and he can choose the most favorable one every time.So it's always been a step up.

He is silent now, in fact, he is waiting for Duan Xun to promise him.

He took refuge in Duan Xun, not for friendship, nor for faith, but just to protect his own interests and continue to climb up.

Duan Xun understood Chen Tiaoyuan's thinking very well.So Duan Xun said with a smile: "The cabinet will add many departments in a short period of time, and there will be a lot of vacancies. If brother Xuexuan is willing, then first take a position in the newly established police department. I think I will serve as the newly established police department. The deputy director of the police department, who also serves as the chief inspector of police affairs, is in charge of setting up an inspection system that supervises the national police system. When this matter is over, whether brother Xuexuan wants to enter Beijing or stay in Beijing, I will not Let brother Xuexuan down."

For a person like Chen Tiaoyuan, you have to let him see real benefits.

Kindness?ideal?

That's all illusory.

Chen Tiaoyuan is neither an idealist nor a loyal person.He is a down-to-earth person who only cares about his own interests.

So Duan Xun offered his own chips.

Undersecretary of Police.

The rank of deputy minister is already a very high level in China at present.What's more, what Duan Xun gave Chen Tiaoyuan was not a false job, but a real position of police inspector.

Chen Tiaoyuan was secretly happy.

Because although Chen Tiaoyuan was very popular with Feng Guozhang and Li Chun, Chen Tiaoyuan still had too little qualifications. He was only a brigade commander in the Jiangsu army before, exercising the power of a division commander.But this time Duan Xun's troops were reorganized, Chen Tiaoyuan did not get a division commander.

Unexpectedly, Duan Xun immediately gave him a higher position.

Undersecretary position.

well.

If he successfully completes the job assigned by Duan Xun this time, he will also have the opportunity to become the chief of the cabinet in the future, and that will be truly glorious.

"Prime Minister, let me try."

"it is good."

Duan Xun believed in Chen Tiaoyuan.

This person looks simple and honest, with an honest face, but he is actually smart.Even if Chen Tiaoyuan could not take down all the original Jiangsu troops, he would have no problem instigating half of them.

Duan Xun is ready to solve Lu Yongxiang by force.

Of course, warlords like Lu Yongxiang can only be resolved by force.However, it is better to reduce some wars.Instigating rebellion against some former Jiangsu troops will have many advantages for the following operations.

"Brother Xuexuan, then please."

When Duan Xun and Chen Tiaoyuan were discussing how to instigate the former Jiangsu army, Yang Yongtai, as the secretary general of the cabinet, began to announce a new round of cabinet decisions.

The patrol envoy of the Yangtze River has changed from being in charge of military affairs in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui to only being in charge of military affairs in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.The Jiangsu Governor, Zhejiang Governor, Anhui Governor, and Songhu Army Guards accepted the dual leadership of the Ministry of Army and the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy.

The provincial governments of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui are directly under the leadership of the cabinet and have no relationship with the Yangtze River patrol envoys.

Of course there are more deadly.

The cabinet announced that starting this year, neither the Beijing government nor local governments will spend more than 30.00% of their fiscal revenue on military spending.When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.

Lu Yongxiang turned pale with shock.

Duan Xun didn't give himself a way out at all.Therefore, Lu Yongxiang quickly called a meeting of the generals under him.

341 Pressing Every Step 4

"Duan Xun, you bullied me too much. I decided to have a showdown with Duan Xun, what do you think?"

Lu Yongxiang's patrol made the Yamen of the Supervision Office furious.

He slapped the table hard and showed his anger in front of these generals under him.However, Lu Yongxiang seemed to be losing his composure, but he was not losing his mind at all. On the contrary, he was observing the expressions of the generals below.

Lu Yongxiang was indeed very angry when the cabinet's order came out.But it hasn't reached the point where he lost his composure in front of so many generals under him.If he really lost his composure, he would not be a great warlord occupying Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

Because Lu Yongxiang is no longer angry.As early as the cabinet introduced the "division of military and civilian rule" and confirmed the appointment of provincial governors and governors, he was already angry.Now Lu Yongxiang has no time to be angry, because Lu Yongxiang is only nervous and fearful.Because every time Duan Xun made a move, he hit Lu Yongxiang's weakness.

Of course it's not a weakness.

Because Duan Xun is in control of the Beijing government and has a righteous name, it is completely blatantly restricting Lu Yongxiang's power.Duan Xun can give orders in the name of the Prime Minister anytime and anywhere.If everyone's strength is about the same, Lu Yongxiang can completely ignore Duan Xun.

It used to be like that.
