Beiyang reactionaries

The action of the Ministry of the Army is a blatant alienation, but the effect is very good.Lu Yongxiang hadn't spoken yet, but Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi were already anxious.Although they are not Lu Yongxiang's direct descendants, and they don't like Lu Yongxiang very much, they never thought of becoming Duan Xun's pawns and directly confronting Lu Yongxiang.Speaking of which, in this troubled world, they just want to go with the flow.How Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang fight, they really don't have much interest.Whoever wins in the end, they will hang out with whoever.

He didn't want to fight Duan Xun for Lu Yongxiang.But he never thought about breaking up with Lu Yongxiang for Duan Xun.But damn Duan Xun still dragged them into this war.

So they spread all their anger on Chen Tiaoyuan.

Chen Tiaoyuan is currently entering Jiangsu in the name of the Deputy Chief of the Police Department and Director of Police Inspectorate, and wants to set up an inspection department in the Jiangsu police system.Don't look at Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang's current fight, but Chen Tiaoyuan is still swaggering in Jiangsu, he doesn't care at all, he can do whatever he wants.

Lu Yongxiang will not do anything to Chen Tiaoyuan.

Because for now, Lu Yongxiang still tries his best to avoid direct conflict with Duan Xun.No matter what you say, Chen Tiaoyuan is the deputy chief of the police department, and he is a former figure in the Jiangsu army. What can Lu Yongxiang do to Chen Tiaoyuan?

"Brother Zhensheng (Gong Bangduo), Brother Runcheng (Xiong Bingqi), if you disagree, can you refuse?"

Chen Tiaoyuan was not in a hurry.

Holding a cigarette between his fingers, he smoked slowly while talking to Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi with a smile.Looking at Chen Tiaoyuan's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, coupled with his sincere and honest face, it was awkward no matter how you looked at it.

So Xiong Bingqi couldn't help snorting coldly: "Xuexuan (Chen Tiaoyuan), are you laughing at us?"

"How dare I."

"Hmph. Reject. If we refuse now, we will offend Duan Degong to death. And even if he refuses, will Lu Yongxiang believe us? He must be on guard against us all the time, and maybe he will regard us as Duan Degong's internal response. When the time comes The two of us are not human on both sides, and we are not tolerated on both sides. Duan Degong is too much, and this is forcing us to make a choice."

Xiong Bingqi was very dissatisfied with Chen Tiaoyuan's attitude.

very angry.

Of course, he was more angry with Duan Xun than Chen Tiaoyuan.Because of the current situation, Duan Xun is forcing them to make a choice, and he doesn't give them a chance to choose at all.Because of the current situation, the two of them have only one way to go.

Seeing that Xiong Bingqi was angry, Chen Tiaoyuan said: "Old classmate, since you are so clear, isn't the current situation very obvious? No matter how you choose the relationship between the two of you and the Prime Minister, Lu Yongxiang will not trust you Yes, and I will never trust you. Besides, you and Lu Yongxiang are not in the same way. Are you really going to work for him? I think you must be very clear about the importance of this."

"You have become so fast, you are called 'Prime Minister' so quickly."

Gong Bangduo pouted.

To laugh at Chen Tiaoyuan is actually to despise Chen Tiaoyuan's clinging.They are all old classmates, "Prime Minister" is so easy to call.

Chen Tiaoyuan didn't seem to care at all, and said calmly: "Brother Zhensheng, and Brother Runcheng, among us students in the Army Academy, the most promising one is the Prime Minister. His current strength and power are the same as those of us back then. Even President Yuan can’t compare to the Prime Minister. Think about it, even President Yuan can’t compare to the Prime Minister. You and I should know more about the position of the Prime Minister in the future. Shouldn’t we be very happy to have such an old classmate? Or Shouldn't we be thankful? Classmate friendship, this is more useful than anything else. The so-called classmate relationship, when to use it, isn't it at this time. With such old classmates, we will have more opportunities in the future, right? "

Yes.

The three present here are classmates, classmates of Baoding Army Academy back then.At that time, there were many big bosses who came out of the Baoding Army Academy in the same class as them, that is, in the 32nd year of Guangxu (1916), especially the most big bosses from Duan Qirui and Anhui.

Among them is General Duan Qirui, later the commander of the Seventh Division of the Beiyang Army, and Zhang Jingyao who served as the governor of Hunan.And Zhang Jingyao's direct line general, Wu Xintian, who served as the commander of the No.13 Brigade of the Seventh Division of the Beiyang Army.There are also Duan Qirui's brother-in-law Wu Guangxin who served as the governor of Henan, Jin Yunpeng's younger brother Jin Yun'e who served as the prime minister, and Duan Qirui's love general Wei Zonghan who planned to drive Jiang Baili away when Jiang Baili was the principal of Baoding Military Academy. graduate.

Of course it's not just them.

There are also Duan Xun, Shang Zhen, You Min, as well as Chen Tiaoyuan, Gong Bangduo, and Xiong Bingqi, they are all classmates of the first class.So Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi were even more angry.

why?

Because they and Duan Xun were classmates back then.Although he was a classmate more than ten years ago, he hasn't even had much contact with him for many years.But with this relationship, how could Lu Yongxiang believe them when the Ministry of the Army named them again this time.Even if they told Lu Yongxiang that they had no contact with Duan Xun for many years, Lu Yongxiang would not believe it.

A brilliant distance meter, but also very effective.

"What exactly does Duan Degong mean?"

Angry to angry, Gong Bangduo still asked Chen Tiaoyuan.

Duan Xun?

In fact, the relationship between him and Duan Xun was really good before.Because when they were studying in the military academy, it was already the 32nd year of Guangxu (1906), and the military academy had already begun to have revolutionary party activities.Even if it is not the activities of the Revolutionary Party, the ideological trend of the Revolutionary Party has begun to flood.

At that time, many students were deeply influenced by the Revolutionary Party and circulated various Revolutionary Party books.For example, Shang Zhen, who was expelled from school, was a very active revolutionary party at that time.But after all, it was a military academy run by the Beiyang Army.There are still a lot of students from the Beiyang Army.

Many students are from the Beiyang Army and recommended to study at the school.After graduation, they will leave school and return to the original army.Therefore, these students from the Beiyang Army will play by themselves, and the students from the Revolutionary Party will also play by themselves.

And Duan Xun is a direct student of the Beiyang Army of Zheng'er Bajing, and Zhao Litai's lover, so he has a good relationship with many students from the Beiyang Army.And Gong Bangduo is a very different kind of student, others all graduated from the Chinese military academy, and then went to the Japanese military academy.But Gong Bangduo first went to Japan to study, studied at the Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and then returned to China to study at Baoding Military Academy.He hopes to enter the Beiyang Army system in this way.

He and Duan Xun are not only from Shandong, but also seven years older than Duan Xun.So I still took care of Duan Xun when I was in school.But that little guy back then has already become the prime minister of the cabinet.

As for Xiong Bingqi, let alone.

If Duan Xun and Gong Bangduo are just fellows from Shandong, then Xiong Bingqi and Duan Xun are fellows from Jining, Shandong, and the relationship goes even further.As a native of Jining, studying in Baoding, that kind of relationship is completely incomparable with others.

So when we were in school, our relationship was still very good.It's just that later Duan Xun became Duan Qirui's Anhui general, and the two of them defected to Feng Guozhang and became generals of Feng Guozhang's direct boss Li Chun.

"Brother Zhensheng, you clearly know, why ask me?"

"Duan Degong really wants to start a war with Lu Yongxiang?"

"I do not know."

Chen Tiaoyuan shook his head.

Seeing Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi's expressions of disbelief, Chen Tiaoyuan continued: "I don't know, I really don't know, how could the Prime Minister tell me such a thing? Will the Prime Minister and Lu Yongxiang fight? I really don’t know about the war. But I know one thing, that is, the prime minister must solve Lu Yongxiang, and it is impossible to watch Lu Yongxiang occupy such an important place as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. And the time will not exceed this year, depending on the situation within this year We must solve Lu Yongxiang."

When Xiong Bingqi heard what Chen Tiaoyuan said, he sneered and said, "It's the same as if you didn't say it. Duan Degong wants to solve Lu Yongxiang. Is Lu Yongxiang the kind of person who sticks his head out and waits to be chopped off by others. As long as Lu Yongxiang resists, he will definitely fight, and he will be very happy." There will be a fight soon."

Chen Tiaoyuan looked at Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi and smiled without saying a word.

The two were speechless for an instant.

Yes.

There is nothing to consider.The current situation is obvious, Duan Xun is constantly suppressing Lu Yongxiang, taking away Lu Yongxiang's power step by step.Lu Yongxiang is a warlord who has been entrenched in the local area for many years, a warlord who dominates the local area and covers the sky with one hand.He is used to being domineering and domineering in the local area, how could he obediently give up such power of the princes.

There will definitely be a fight at that time.

What do they do?

Do you support Lu Yongxiang or Duan Xun?

Do they still have a choice in the current situation?Even if they want to support Lu Yongxiang, will Lu Yongxiang trust them?And in the current situation, Duan Xun occupies the position of righteousness in the government, and his strength far exceeds that of Lu Yongxiang.He is a smart man, and he will not offend Duan Xun.

"Old classmate, think about it. He, Lu Yongxiang, has his own army and his own set of troops. What can you do if you force yourself in? Can your status in Lu Yongxiang be higher than that of He Fenglin? Can’t compare with Chen Leshan? But if you support the Prime Minister, we are classmates with the Prime Minister after all, and there is still a friendship among us. Besides, the Prime Minister controls the Beijing government and is the person in charge of the central government. Where will the future development be? It can be compared here."

Both Gong Bangduo and Xiong Bingqi were silent.

Because what Chen Tiaoyuan said was good.In fact, most of the students in that group had already left the field or retired from the military.There are not many who really stay in the military system or the government affairs system.

After all, everyone is a classmate, which is definitely a good qualification.

But Xiong Bingqi suddenly said: "Xuexuan (Chen Tiaoyuan), but Duan Degong seems to like those who are from the Revolutionary Party more. Not to mention his army, let's talk about our classmates, Shang Zhen and You Min who were in the school back then. The people with very radical speeches are all from the Revolutionary Party. They are all in high positions now. There are also his students and some other high-ranking officials. It is said that many of them are from the Revolutionary Party in the early years. And it started from the southwest The people’s party that prospered, I read a lot of their propaganda newspapers, and I think many of the contents in it are the same as Sun Yat-sen’s "National Construction Strategy" before. The people’s party is developing so fast, I think it is Duan Degong Behind the scenes. Let's go now, shall we?"

"Worrying."

Chen Tiaoyuan smiled.
