Beiyang reactionaries

The two sides are divided into two sides.

"Several, you came to my Taiyuan suddenly, there must be something."

Yan Xishan didn't argue with Wen Shouquan and the others.Although we have known each other for fifteen or sixteen years, as classmates, we had good personal relationships in the early years.But after the Revolution of [-], it was not easy for everyone to gather and disperse.

On the contrary, the relationship between everyone is very bad.

There has been no connection for so many years.All of a sudden, the three of them came together, and Yan Xishan didn't want to talk nonsense with them.

"Brother Baichuan (Yan Xishan), you can treat us as cabinet lobbyists."

"cabinet?"

Yan Xishan looked at Wen Shouquan and said, "You are here on behalf of Premier Duan (Duan Xun)."

"you can say it this way."

"Go ahead."

Yan Xishan was very calm.

But in his heart he scolded Duan Xun.

damn it.

I think back then those people shed their blood in order to overthrow the Man Qing.What was Duan Xun at that time, he was still teaching at Baoding Military Academy.It can be said that the Republic of China was brought down by their generation, and it was they who overthrew the Qing Dynasty.But more than ten years later, these [-] feats of his own were just a small local governor, but Duan Xun, a bastard, turned out to be the prime minister of the Republic of China.God is really blind.

But Yan Xishan was very afraid of Duan Xun in his heart.

Just a month ago, Duan Xun had taken care of Lu Yongxiang, the biggest local power faction.Compared with Lu Yongxiang, Yan Xishan is nothing.No matter what, Lu Yongxiang once claimed to have an army of 20.Even if it is a bit bragging, and many of them are not direct troops.But Lu Yongxiang has 8 or [-] troops in his direct line alone.

And what about yourself?

Currently there are only four mixed brigades in Shanxi.In total, there are twelve infantry regiments, four artillery battalions, and one machine gun battalion.The number of people added up is quite a lot, but there are only about [-] rifles and carbines.This unit is not as powerful as a regular division on Duan Xun's side.

And how many regular teachers does Duan Xun have?

Duan Xun currently has at least 45 regular divisions.

Disparity in strength.

"Brother Baichuan, the cabinet will have new restrictions on local military governors. From now on, local military governors are not allowed to concurrently serve in the army."

Yao Yiji preempted Wen Shouquan and stated the purpose of coming today.

I am very proud of myself.

Ten years ago, in order to get rid of Yao Yizhi, Yan Xishan not only spread bad words about Yao Yizhi in Shanxi, but even arranged a stage play to bury Yao Yizhi.Yao Yizhi was very angry at that time.

Yao Yiqi felt ashamed when he left.

Today Duan Xun asked them to come over to persuade Yan Xishan, Yao Yizhi was very happy.You, Yan Xishan, for the one-acre three-point land in Shanxi, forced all the heroes and classmates of the [-] Revolution to leave Shanxi one by one.

But what about now?

The cabinet does not allow the existence of princes who hold military and political power in Shanxi.

Yan Xishan didn't look surprised when he heard Yao Yizhi's words.I just exchanged glances with Zhao Daiwen who was next to me, and then said: "It's enough if the cabinet orders, why let you come here."

Yao Yizhi was very dissatisfied with Yan Xishan's calm expression.

Isn't he surprised?

Isn't he surprised?

Isn't he angry?

Why are you so calm.

Yao Yizhi really doesn't understand why you, Yan Xishan, have no expression at all.Shouldn't you be very angry and surprised at this time?

After all, what the cabinet meant was to deprive Yan Xishan and the others of their positions in the army.In other words, the so-called local warlords in the future will be the logistics department of the local army, and will no longer be the local princes who controlled the army in the past.

Totally different.

How can you not be angry, how can you not be surprised.

"Brother Baichuan, to be honest, I don't want to come."

Although Wen Shouquan had a bad relationship with Yan Xishan, he left Shanxi.There were many dirty times, but Wen Shouquan didn't have as much resentment towards Yan Xishan as Yao Yiji did.

So it's very calm when you talk.

"Since I announced my resignation, I haven't cared about these things for many years, and I don't want to care about these things. But this time I can't help but come. Some time ago, the war between the cabinet and the Yangtze River patrol envoy was only fought for a few days. , but it is very destructive to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai. I don’t know how many people have been displaced, how many families have been broken, and the economic loss is also staggering. Brother Baichuan, what conflicts I have with you is our own business. I don’t want to see Shanxi There is also war, and I don’t want to see our Jin army fall. So I’m here.”

"Brother Jing'an, you can speak clearly."

Yan Xishan still believed in Wen Shouquan's integrity.

Wen Shouquan said directly: "Brother Baichuan, you have seen Premier Duan's skills, and I think you know his strength. He wants to implement the 'separate rule between the army and the people'. To put it bluntly, he is very determined to solve the warlords. Count it yourself. Count, there are several people in the local military governors and military positions. Who among these people can stop Premier Duan's determination. It's just that the cabinet has just put down Lu Yongxiang, the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, and has just extended his hand into Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai, so it is not easy to implement it forcefully. Stayed. Before the cabinet was implemented, Brother Baichuan, you took the lead in expressing your opinion and supporting the cabinet, which is of great benefit to you, to the Jin army, and even to us in Shanxi."

Yan Xishan nodded.

But did not speak.On the other hand, Zhao Daiwen, who was next to him, smiled and said, "If we support the cabinet, take the lead in setting an example, and call on others to follow our example, what will the cabinet give us?"

"Three o'clock."

Kong Geng next to him raised three fingers.

"What three o'clock?"

"We met with Prime Minister Duan before we came here. He will make three changes to Brother Baichuan and the Jin Army. First, give Brother Baichuan two choices. One is to continue serving as the governor of Shanxi, and the other is to enter Beijing as the first deputy director of the General Armament Department He also serves as the Minister of Planning and is responsible for coordinating the Weapons Support Department and the Weapons Development Department of the Armament Department."

"Secondly, the Jin army was expanded into four divisions, with twelve brigades and 36 regiments under its jurisdiction. The division commanders of the four divisions were Ma Kaisong, Kong Fanyu, Yang Aiyuan, and Fu Cunhuai."

"Thirdly, Zhao Daiwen entered Beijing as the director of the National Electric Power Development Commission, responsible for formulating the national electric power development plan. Of course, if Brother Baichuan has other ideas, he can also put forward his own ideas."

Yan Xishan smiled slightly for the first time when he heard these conditions.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Daiwen.

Zhao Daiwen nodded slightly to Yan Xishan, Yan Xishan immediately said: "Guys, you have come from a long way, and I have arranged a banquet tonight. As for what you guys said, I will think about it."

"it is good."

Wen Shouquan and the others didn't actually come to Shanxi for much benefit.They came here this time mainly because they didn't want to see Shanxi go to war.

That's it.
