Beiyang reactionaries

And Duan Xun lived up to expectations, step by step to the present.Now Duan Xun has expressed his thoughts for the next ten years. In Yang Wei's view, these goals are very realistic and absolutely not whimsical.And these goals cut to the heart of China's problems.

So he immediately said: "General, there are many things, but the general has only one thing to do now."

"whats the matter?"

"Sit tight where you are now."

"How to say?"

"General, at present, the general is the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, and he was obtained by relying on the army. Moreover, the Beijing government has been in chaos these years, and it has gradually lost the prestige and everyone's trust it should have. The general wants to do anything in the future. Acting in the name of the Beijing government, so what the general has to do now is to restore the authority of the Beijing government and restore everyone's trust in the Beijing government. Restoring the authority of the Beijing government and restoring the credibility of the Beijing government is also to help the general secure his current position. "

Yang Wei said confidently: "If you want to restore the prestige of the Beijing government in a short time, there are three things that the general can implement immediately."

"Which three things?"

"Resolve the financial crisis of the Beijing government, build railways, and suppress bandits. The financial crisis of the Beijing government is more of a crisis caused by military expenditures, and the financial crisis of the Beijing government itself is not serious. Especially because of the European war, the Beijing government is still It is easier to solve the problem by stopping the payment of various indemnities and loans. As long as the general can solve the financial crisis of the Beijing government, he will definitely be able to quickly get the support of various institutions and schools in Beijing. As for the construction of railways, the suppression of bandits can be seen It is a way to tell everyone that the Beijing government is still alive and able to play a role.”

"no problem."

It's not a big deal.

It is very easy to do.But is this alone enough to restore the government's prestige?Seeing Duan Xun's puzzled look, Yang Wei continued: "This is only the first step for the general to gain a foothold in the Beijing government. The second step is to solve the Middle East Railway issue."

"The Middle East Railway problem?"

"Yes."

Yang Wei smiled and said: "General, since the Russian Civil War, Russia has been unable to control the Middle East Railway. As early as when Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui) did not step down, the Beijing government had already started negotiating with Russia about the The problem of the Middle East Railway. It is just because of frequent civil wars that the Beijing government has changed several prime ministers within a year, so the matter has been delayed. However, whether it is Belarus or the current Soviet Russia, they do not have the strength and energy to control it now. The Middle East Railway doesn’t even have the energy to pay attention to this issue. Taking advantage of the current opportunity, we quickly won the management of the Middle East Railway, which will definitely boost the morale of the Chinese people. It will also greatly improve the prestige of the Beijing government and generals. In fact, Jilin and Heilongjiang There are many Russian institutions and industries over there, and they seized all of them by taking advantage of the current opportunity. Let everyone know if one is confiscated, and this is also a good way to unite the morale of the country.”

Duan Xun couldn't help but smile.

The Russian civil war made it too late for them to take care of China's affairs.Yang Wei asked Duan Xun to use this opportunity to expel Russian forces.In fact, this is a very simple matter, but after Yang Wei said this, Duan Xun and the Beijing government immediately became taller.It will make many people who have lost hope in the Beijing government see hope again.Duan Xun, as the current substantial controlling figure of the Beijing government, will definitely be able to gain more prestige.

It can be described as a good way to serve multiple purposes.

"and then?"

After the Beijing government stabilizes its position?

And where to start.Duan Xun wants to do so many things, but the railway construction can start.But what about other things, including changing to a presidential system, eliminating warlords, reducing rent and interest, and independent customs?

Where should it start first.

"General, governing the country is like cooking fresh food. You must not be in a hurry. Things need to be resolved one by one. This year, the general's first thing to do is to stabilize, and next year, he will first solve the problem of the Kuomintang."

"Kuomintang?"

"General, the People's Party now needs to stand up and openly develop. The biggest opponent is the Kuomintang, and the biggest opponent who wants to control the parliament is also the Kuomintang. Mr. Zhongshan has been calling for revolution for 30 years, and has a huge influence in the hearts of young people. Because of this The Kuomintang has never lacked the support of young people and young students. If the People's Party wants to develop, it must compete with the Kuomintang for young people. In addition to young people, the Kuomintang has also attracted a large number of celebrities and local forces. Therefore, if you want to control the parliament and overwhelm the KMT, you must first solve the KMT issue.”

"How to deal with it?"

Where is that easy.

Regardless of the evaluation of later generations, Sun Yat-sen is still highly evaluated in China today.This is especially true among young people.More importantly, the Kuomintang has a large number of MPs.

Starting from Yuan Shikai, after being sorted out by people like Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Cao Kun, the members of the Kuomintang are still very active.

"General, next year will be the tenth anniversary of the Revolution of [-]. The Beijing government is the orthodox government of the Republic of China, so I think it should be commemorated."

Duan Xun frowned.

I didn't understand what Yang Wei meant.

Since the Kuomintang is to be suppressed, how can we commemorate the Revolution of [-].After all, when it comes to the Revolution of [-], everyone will talk about Sun Yat-sen and the Kuomintang.Yang Wei continued: "General, the Revolution of [-] was the result of the participation of the Tongmenghui, the Restoration Association, the Gongjinhui, and the Literary Society, including the constitutionalists and the local associations. Since we want to commemorate it, of course we must all commemorate it together."

"Re-evaluate the Revolution of [-]?"

Duan Xun somewhat understood what Yang Wei meant.

Yang Wei wanted to re-evaluate the Revolution of [-].After the Revolution of [-], the Tongmenghui headed by Sun Yat-sen took advantage of their powerful strength and propaganda ability to slowly erase the role of other parties.Similarly, Duan Xun can also use the name of the Beijing government to suppress the Tongmenghui, suppress the Kuomintang, and exaggerate the contributions of other parties in the anti-Qing Dynasty.After all, one of the biggest political advantages of the current Kuomintang is that they have always claimed that they are the main force to overthrow the Qing Dynasty.

But this alone will not have much influence on the Kuomintang.

"General, we want to re-evaluate the Revolution of [-]. However, after the Revolution of [-], many of the meritorious figures of [-] who made great achievements in the process of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty died in internal strife and assassination. There are many articles that can be written here."

"Assassination?"

"General, Tao Chengzhang, the leader of the Restoration Society, was assassinated by Chen Qimei. The murderer, Jiang Zhongzheng, is currently in the Cantonese Army. He and Xu Chongzhi are brothers and brothers. He is Xu Chongzhi's chief of staff. Moreover, in the year of [-], Chen Jiongming massacred the Restoration Society's armed forces in Guangdong. That was blatant. It is not only Chen Jiongming, but also the Tongmenghui who hunted and killed the armed forces of the Restoration Society all over the country. It is well known. Tang Hualong was assassinated by the Kuomintang in Canada two years ago. Tang Hualong was a great hero for the independence of Jiangsu and a hero of [-]. Cheng Biguang was assassinated It is even more confusing. However, the more confused the assassination, the more we can make a fuss. We took the opportunity of re-evaluating the Revolution of [-] to restart the investigation of the assassination of some meritorious figures of [-], involving the court, the procuratorate, and the media. Once these cases are re-investigated, the Kuomintang will not be able to escape no matter what, and a large number of Kuomintang leaders will be involved. People including Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, and Chen Jiongming will not be able to escape, and maybe even Mr. Zhongshan will Involved. General, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of young people. It is not easy for us to attack them from this aspect. Although sometimes attacking other people's morality is a relatively shameful means, it is often the most effective measures."

When Yang Wei said that, his expression was very low.

Because Yang Wei himself was from the Revolutionary Party.But now it's time to deal with the Kuomintang, so Yang Wei's mood is of course not very good.But although he was depressed, Yang Wei didn't regret it at all.

When it's time to do it, do it.

Therefore, Yang Wei continued eloquently: "In the past, whether it was Yuan Xiangcheng or Duan Hefei, they were absolutely at a disadvantage in the pen battle, and they were not at all the opponents of Mr. Zhongshan. That's because they didn't understand the importance of modern public opinion. But we can't give up this position. To suppress the Kuomintang, we must start from all aspects. Starting from Mr. Sun Yat-sen's private life, Tao Chengzhang accused Sun Yat-sen of embezzling public funds, which can be attacked. Then it is to exalt the merits of those who were assassinated by the Kuomintang. , The greater their contribution, the deeper the Kuomintang's crimes."

Duan Xun already understood what Yang Wei meant.

It is indeed a practice that cannot be put on the table.

As someone said, when it is impossible to smear the opponent professionally, use morality to smear the opponent. This is the most commonly used method by the Chinese.But this method, although dirty, is very effective.

Maybe this has something to do with the thousands of years of Chinese culture. Chinese people like black and white, good people are good people, and bad people are bad people.Hope their heroes are flawless, hope they don't have any blemishes.But in this world, there are no people who are not stained, and there are no people who do not make mistakes.To evaluate a person, we must look at his main aspect.

For example, a hero who saves the nation may not be perfect in some aspects, or even have some mistakes, but overall, this person is a hero and should be praised by everyone.Similarly, some traitors are very filial, but you cannot forget that they are traitors just because they are filial.

But the current Chinese public opinion is not the case.

Often when a hero makes a mistake, everyone will be disappointed and blamed.They don't allow their heroes to be imperfect.

Not to mention Sun Yat-sen.

There are too many stains to find.Especially in terms of private life, the attack is simply too simple to be simple.In addition, Tao Chengzhang accused Sun Yat-sen of embezzling the public funds of the League, and Yuan Shikai also attacked Sun Yat-sen for embezzling railway funds.Regardless of whether these are true or not, as long as there are more critics, even the false ones will become true.There are also political assassinations during the period of the Republic of China. If they were found, 90.00% of them were done by the Kuomintang itself.As the leader of the Kuomintang, Sun Yat-sen could have anything to do with him.

Some things really don't have to be.

It is indeed nasty.

But easy to use.

Duan Xun is not a moral gentleman, and it is imperative to suppress the Kuomintang.Suppressing it with administrative power will make the Kuomintang even more famous.Therefore, it is better to discredit them and discredit them.So nod slowly.

"General, you must first stabilize your position before you can start anything. After firmly controlling the power of the Beijing government and reorganizing all the direct troops, you must solve the problem of the warlords. After you have enough strength, you can start Only by reducing rents and interest rates throughout the country can we get back the customs from the big powers.”

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.
