That is to say, starting from July 1922, the national tax and local tax of all provinces in China must open tax bureau accounts in China Commercial Bank.These accounts in Chinese commercial banks are subject to the supervision of the State Administration of Taxation, local provincial governments, and local finance departments.Beginning in August, all funds from national and local taxes must be transferred to Chinese commercial banks.

The national tax and local tax of each province are not allowed to go to other bank accounts.

force.

Duan Xun is persecuting Lu Yongxiang step by step.Because at present, only Lu Yongxiang is most affected by this policy.Duan Xun's purpose is to first control Lu Yongxiang's finances.

For a warlord like Lu Yongxiang, the army is his lifeblood.However, military pay is the foundation of protecting the army, and Duan Xun is about to cut it off.Without military pay, what do those warlords use to control the army.

Without money, even Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui, and Cao Kun could not control their troops, including Duan Xun.This is especially true for warlords like Lu Yongxiang.

this is all?

No.

On April 1922, 4, the cabinet spokesman Chen Bulei announced to the outside world.There is no change in the policy that military spending cannot exceed 12% of fiscal revenue determined by the cabinet, and this policy will continue to be promoted.

This includes the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

The cabinet will continue to pay attention to the financial situation of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and supervise the local tax accounts of the three provinces in China's commercial banks.In addition, the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui have to obtain the approval of the cabinet regarding financial allocation and military expenditure.Without the approval of the cabinet, local finances are not allowed to allocate military expenditures arbitrarily.

The announcement of this policy by the cabinet made Lu Yongxiang furious in Nanjing.

Totally unacceptable.

Therefore, Lu Yongxiang immediately criticized the cabinet for interfering in local government affairs in Nanjing.Lu Yongxiang believes that the cabinet has no right to interfere in local affairs, let alone make irresponsible remarks on the use of local finances.These all belong to the local government, which belongs to the power of the local provincial council.

Just after Lu Yongxiang criticized the cabinet, Chen Bulei criticized Lu Yongxiang on behalf of the cabinet.Tell Lu Yongxiang that you are the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, and your job is only to be in charge of the military work in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.As for the affairs of the cabinet and the local government, Lu Yongxiang is not qualified to meddle.

very tough.

Lu Yongxiang is not easy to mess with.

Immediately hit back at the cabinet, saying that as a patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, he was in charge of military work in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. Couldn't he still ask about military expenditures?The issue of the military expenditure of the Yangtze River patrol envoy should be a matter between the Yangtze River patrol envoy and the local government, and the cabinet has no right to intervene.

Lu Yongxiang's statement was immediately reprimanded by Chen Bulei.

Chen Bulei criticized Lu Yongxiang and forgot his duty.The allocation of military expenditures and the determination of military expenditures are matters that are planned by the government and reviewed by the parliament.The military only has the right to make suggestions and is not qualified to bargain with the government and parliament.The same is true for the patrol envoys along the Yangtze River.

On the issue of military expenditure, Lu Yongxiang can only suggest.

The decision-making power lies with the provincial governments and parliaments, and the final decision-making power lies with the cabinet.

You come to me on both sides.

Not a good fight.

However, while arguing, the actions of the cabinet are still not over.

On April 1922, 4, Li Jishen, the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, announced that the Ministry of the Army would learn from the practice of the Cabinet Standing Committee and implement the departmental committee responsibility system.The Ministry of War will select seven committee members who will be fully responsible for the work of the Ministry of War.

The first seven members of the Ministry of the Army are: Chief of the Army Duan Xun, Vice Minister of the Army Li Jishen, Minister of Military Affairs Xiong Kewu, Chief of the General Staff Xu Yongchang, Secretary General of the Army Yang Jie, Minister of Armaments Han Linchun, Chief of the Military Law Department Inspector Jing Wumu.The daily work of the Ministry of the Army is handled by the Ministry of the Army Committee.

Immediately afterwards, it was announced that the former military law department of the Ministry of the Army was divided into three parts: the military court, the military prosecutor's office, and the military police.

Jing Mumu, who has just become a member of the Ministry of Army, announced that the three major disciplines and eight points of attention have officially become the military discipline that the national army must abide by.All troops in the country must learn the new military discipline regulations.

All the troops in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui under the Yangtze River patrol must also accept it.

In order to strengthen the supervision of the military discipline of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, Jing Wumu, a member of the Army Ministry, announced that he would improve the military law department of the troops in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.Including the establishment of military courts, military prosecutors' offices, and gendarmerie.

At the same time, You Min, as a member of the Ministry of Army and Chief Inspector of the Military Law Department, suggested that Lu Yongxiang, the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy, appoint Gong Bangduo as the Chief Inspector of the Military Law Division under the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy.Fully responsible for the establishment of the Military Law Department of the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy.

Gong Bangduo.

Li Chun, the former Jiangsu Governor, served as the commander of the first line during the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, and under his command four divisions and one brigade attacked Shanghai.Later, in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, the Jiangsu army was defeated, and a large number of Jiangsu troops were reorganized by Lu Yongxiang.

Gong Bangduo could only accept Lu Yongxiang's reorganization at that time.Lu Yongxiang reorganized the original Li Chun's troops into three divisions, and Gong Bangduo was the commander of the First Division of the Jiangsu Army.

On April 1922, 4, Han Linchun, the newly appointed member of the Army Department and concurrently the Minister of Equipment Department, suggested that Lu Yongxiang, the Yangtze River patrol envoy, establish an equipment department in the Yangtze River patrol envoy's office.Fully responsible for the weapons and equipment of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, as well as the military factory in Shanghai.And Han Linchun suggested that Xiong Bingqi be the Minister of the Armament Department of the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy.

There used to be military factories in Shanghai, such as the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which is now renamed Shanghai Arsenal.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the annual appropriation was around 100 million.However, after the Revolution of 60, it was shut down several times, and the annual allocation was less than [-].Later, the appropriation from the Ministry of Finance was slowly terminated, causing the Shanghai Arsenal to decline.

From the peak period, the large arsenal with nearly [-] people has not been completed to the point of closing.Lu Yongxiang didn't care at the time.But later, because of the arms embargo, the price of weapons rose sharply.Therefore, Lu Yongxiang began to pay attention to Shanghai Arsenal again and began to invest in Shanghai Arsenal.In the past year, the Shanghai Arsenal has begun to recover, but it is still not as good as it was at its peak.

But it also has a certain scale, with nearly 3000 workers.

Xiong Bingqi suggested by Han Linchun was also a member of the former Jiangsu Governor Li Chun's army.He was highly valued by Feng Guozhang in his early years, and later became the chief of staff of the former Jiangsu Governor Li Chun's Department, and he had a high status in Li Chun's army.

When Lu Yongxiang incorporated the Jiangsu army, he also took refuge in Lu Yongxiang.Currently serving as the commander of the third division of the newly created Jiangsu Army.

Both Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi were recommended by the Ministry of War to become important figures in the Yangtze River patrol envoy's office.One is in charge of the Military Disciplinary Office of the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy, and the other is responsible for the equipment supply of the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy.

"Hmph. De Gong (Duan Xun) is putting the two of us on the oven."

"Hmph, Duan Degong (Duan Xun) is putting the two of us on the oven."

Zhenjiang.

In Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, both Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi looked ugly.Looking at Chen Tiaoyuan, who was smiling across the way, and his simple and honest face, both of them glared.If it was more than ten years ago, when everyone was young, both of them wanted to beat Chen Tiaoyuan.

No calamity.

Two people are really a disaster.

In the second Zhiwan War, Li Chun failed in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War. Most of the Jiangsu army could only accept Lu Yongxiang's reorganization. Of course, many troops in northern Jiangsu went north to join Duan Xun's troops in Shandong.

But in terms of quantity, because at that time Li Chun's large troops were concentrated in the southern Jiangsu area to fight against Lu Yongxiang.Therefore, when the direct lineage failed, about 60.00% of the Jiangsu troops of Li Chun, the former governor of Jiangsu, failed to withdraw northward, and could only accept Lu Yongxiang's reorganization in southern Jiangsu.

At that time, there were more than 3 troops who took refuge in Lu Yongxiang, and more than 2 people surrendered in the established system.This part of the army was reorganized into three army divisions. Gong Bangduo served as the commander of the First Division of the Jiangsu Army, Liu Yuke served as the commander of the Second Division of the Jiangsu Army, and Xiong Bingqi served as the commander of the Third Division of the Jiangsu Army.These three people were the top bosses of Li Chun's army back then.

At that time, Xiong Bingqi was Li Chun's chief of staff, Gong Bangduo was the first commander of the Jiangsu Army, and Xiong Bingqi was the second commander of the Jiangsu Army.They are all the bosses that Li Chun relies on the most.

Therefore, after defecting to Lu Yongxiang, Lu Yongxiang also gave them a lot of face.Although he is not Lu Yongxiang's direct descendant, his life is not too bad.

Because the Jiangsu army still has sufficient strength, there are currently 2 original Jiangsu troops in the established system alone, and more than 1 other scattered original Jiangsu troops.Therefore, it is not easy for Lu Yongxiang to go too far.Lu Yongxiang does not have absolute strength to suppress all forces in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and it is impossible to wipe out all other troops.Therefore, for other troops, including the former Jiangsu troops, including the former Anhui troops, Lu Yongxiang mainly focused on appeasement.Control these troops by controlling their salaries and controlling their weapons.

So life wasn't too bad.

But look.

This time, the Ministry of the Army suddenly suggested that Lu Yongxiang let Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi take up the important positions of the Yangtze River patrol envoys, making them a more powerful faction, and pulling them into the whirlpool at once.

Even if the two of them refuse now, there will be a big crack in Lu Yongxiang's heart.Originally, everyone was not on the same road, but at that time they just defected to Lu Yongxiang in desperation.Now that something like this happened again, Lu Yongxiang must have thought that they had some connection with Duan Xun and the Ministry of the Army.Man is a very strange animal. Once you doubt a person, you will be suspicious of everything you look at, and you will not be satisfied with anything you do.This doubt is difficult to end and will last for a long time.
