Beiyang reactionaries

Don't you just want to say that because the troops in western Henan lack a unified command, especially the people in western Henan have their own leaders.So if you want to suppress the bandits, you must first unify the command and incorporate the western Henan militia.

Why bother going around.

There are more than [-] counties in western Henan, each with its own militia.And they all belong to the local power faction.You, Duan Xun, don't look like you are crossing the river, but if you offend too many powerful factions, you can still gain a foothold in the west of Henan.

So many people sneered at it.

"But although there are many reasons, I think there is only one biggest reason."

Finally couldn't bear to say it.

"The biggest reason is that many people in western Henan collude with bandits, and many bandits are even raised as thugs. Some bandits are forced to go to Liangshan because the local bullies are too persecuted, so they have no choice but to go to the mountains to become bandits."

what--.

Everyone below was dumbfounded.

There's something wrong with this script.Everyone thought that Duan Xun would say that it was because each army was fighting on its own, so it was impossible to wipe out the bandits.But Duan Xun changed the topic unexpectedly and talked about other issues.

Collaborate with bandits and force them to go to Liangshan.

What is he going to do?

"It is precisely because there are people colluding with the bandits that the suppression of the bandits fails repeatedly. It is also precisely because the local bullies force people into the Liangshan Mountains that the bandits in western Henan cannot be completely suppressed. Therefore, in order to suppress the bandits, I must first attack those who dare to communicate in the western part of Henan. The bandits' accomplices, and the bullies who run rampant. This is the root of the eradication of bandits."

"Recently, my troops were suppressing bandits in Mianchi, and found that there is a group of bandits in Mianchi who are kept by Mianchi bully Liu Fengsan. Therefore, I have issued an order to execute Liu Fengsan and confiscate his family property."

Murderous.

Let the people below suddenly feel tense.

Because as long as you live and do business in western Henan, it is impossible for you not to deal with bandits in western Henan.Which of these people here has nothing to do with the bandits in western Henan, or has never had contact with the bandits in western Henan.

If Duan Xun said in one sentence that this is gangsterism, then all the landlords in western Henan would not be spared.

What is Duan Xun going to do?

"Of course, some people just want to avoid trouble, so it is understandable to give some filial piety to the bandits. So I will organize a large-scale thorough investigation in the west of Henan. All people who have any relationship with the bandits must come to me Register, and then explain the situation. As long as I don't collude with the bandits intentionally, as long as I don't use the bandits to do something outrageous, I will let the past go. But if anyone dares to take a chance and hide it from me, when I find out, he will be treated as a bandit. "

"You are all celebrities in Xin'an, and I believe you have been deeply affected by bandits. I believe that you will cooperate with my work."

28 Xin'an Militia 2

"Mr. Qinghai, what do you mean by Duan Xun?"

"Mr. Qinghai, doesn't he mean that he can decide everyone's life and death with a single word?"

"Yes, Mr. Qinghai."

"Mr. Qinghai, you need to make an idea."

"Mr. Qinghai, is Duan Xun trying to blackmail us?"

shock.

Duan Xun's words made everyone on the scene tremble with fear.At this time, none of them would dare to rest. Seeing Duan Xun's murderous words, they could only gather together to discuss what to do.

Scared.

What is Xin'an Militia?What they are thinking about now is not about the Xin'an militia, but whether Duan Xun wants to kill them.

"Mr. Qinghai, if Duan Xun is really too much, we will sue him at the Governor's Mansion."

Local gentry.

They are not strong, they are very strong.

Especially in peaceful times, these local gentry can control local affairs, and even the government.Because these people monopolize knowledge, most of the scholars come from their families, and those who become officials are also from these gentry families.

Usually, any official who comes to a place, as long as he doesn't want to make a fuss, needs to follow these local gentry.Because they are not only local, but also have many connections in officialdom.This is their strength.

So since ancient times, when many officials arrived in a place, the first thing they did was to meet and talk with the local gentry.As long as the gentry in these places don't make trouble, it will be much easier to govern the place.

Therefore, the strength of the local gentry has always been very strong.Now that these people heard Duan Xun's threats, some of them thought of going to the Governor's Mansion to file a complaint.Let the Governor's Mansion come to put pressure on Duan Xun.

"Bullshit."

Zheng Hong didn't speak, but Zheng Hong's younger brother Zheng Dang slapped the table directly.

"Do you have any brains? Haven't you heard that Duan Xun is already engaged to Duan Hefei's (Duan Qirui) niece, and will be married in a few months. By then, this person will be Duan Hefei's niece and son-in-law. Who in Henan Can suppress Duan Xun. Zhao Ti, the governor of Henan Province, was born in Yijun. How could he offend Duan Hefei's capable generals. In the eyes of these big men, what are we? Especially these soldiers, which one is reasonable. Since ancient times, scholars have met Soldiers, it’s hard to explain why. What’s more, when you meet these generals who hold heavy soldiers.”

This is the embarrassment of the gentry in these places at present.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not collapse, these gentry were also members of the Manchu Qing ruling class.At that time, they were inextricably linked with the officialdom, and whoever came here to be an official would not offend them too much.

However, with the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the vigorous Revolution of [-] broke out.Although several years have passed, the new order has not been fully established, making their contacts useless.

Moreover, although the Revolution of [-] did not change the real social order, a force began to step onto the stage of history and began to influence China's affairs.That is the warrior.Regardless of whether it is the Beiyang forces currently in charge of the Chinese government or the southern revolutionary government, those who hold power have become warriors.With the improvement of the status of warriors, although many local officials are still scholars, they also have to act according to the faces of warriors.

sorrow.

In peacetime, scholars have always suppressed warriors, but in turbulent times, scholars can only rely on warriors.Because the barrel of a gun in the hands of a warrior in a turbulent age is everything.

If they are reasonable warriors, it is okay to say, but if they are unreasonable, they will not care about the role of local gentry and how much influence they have.Once these warlords get ruthless, regardless of your so-called connections, you should kill or grab guns, these gentry have nothing to do.Because in the face of these gun bearers, they simply have no power to fight back.

The contacts and influence they used to rely on in the past are simply useless in front of some soldiers.

This is warlord.

Many landlords in the Republic of China went bankrupt because they were blackmailed by warlords.Although China is now suppressed by Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang government, it does not seem to be too much turmoil.

But a warrior like Duan Xun already has the status of a warlord.

"You have all seen Duan Xun today. He looks polite, but he is not easy to mess with. You all know this in your own mind. If this Duan Xun wants to find something for you, he will catch it. I'll charge you with banditry in time, and I'll see who of you can stop it. You want to go to the governor's mansion to file a complaint, but if you file a complaint at the front, they will deal with you at the back."

"Then what do you say?"

"I am not sure as well."

Zheng Dang shook his head sullenly.

Said: "At first I thought he just wanted to recruit our militia. But judging from today's posture, he is going to make a big mess in our west of Henan. There are several families in my west of Henan that have no connection with bandits. What Duan Xun wants to do. So I really can't grasp it now, I don't know what Duan Xun is going to do."

Zheng Dang really couldn't grasp what Duan Xun was going to do.

It's completely different from what I imagined.What does this young man like Duan Xun want to do?

"Brother, talk to me."
