Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun's calmness in the face of danger is what a real leader should have.

"I'll make three appointments first."

"First, appoint Yang Wei as the general manager of the Frontline Disaster Relief Committee. After entering Gansu, he will be fully responsible for disaster relief. He has the right to deploy all local military, police and local agencies."

"Second, Xiong Qixun, the commander of the No.11 Army, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the disaster relief force, and Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the No.16 mixed brigade, was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief. The No.11 Army entered Gansu overnight by train."

"Third, appoint Chen Bulei as the Director of the Publicity Department of the Disaster Relief Committee, who is fully responsible for the communication between the Disaster Relief Committee and the media. Regarding the situation of the remaining disaster relief, all facts are subject to the announcement of the Disaster Relief Committee. Any newspaper that writes about the disaster relief situation, or Based on the report of the Disaster Relief Committee, or personally send reporters into the disaster area. Any media that reports randomly without any investigation will have to pay legal responsibility.”

Shangfang Sword.

Now Duan Xun has the Shangfang sword given by Xu Shichang and Wang Chonghui, and has normal excuses, so he announced a series of appointments just after the meeting.Then he continued: "I want to emphasize a few points now. Premier Dai is in charge of the daily work of the Disaster Relief Committee. Premier Dai serves as the Secretary-General of the Disaster Relief Committee, and Yang Yongtai, Secretary-General of the State Council, serves as the Deputy Secretary-General of the Disaster Relief Committee. The two of you take turns on duty. During the disaster relief period, one of the two people must be on duty in the duty room."

"Yes."

Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai stood up to accept the order.

Duan Xun continued: "In order to prevent rumors from spreading and to let the people of the whole country know the situation of the earthquake, the Disaster Relief Committee held a press conference at [-] o'clock every morning to introduce the disaster situation and relief situation to the whole country. Chen Bulei. "

"Prime Minister."

"You are fully responsible for this matter. Let the people across the country hear about the disaster situation and disaster relief every day."

"Yes."

"This earthquake is very serious and requires a lot of funds from the government. It also needs the support of the people across the country. Therefore, I plan to set up a civil affairs department in the Disaster Relief Committee to manage the disaster relief funds. This includes the government The appropriations, public bonds for disaster relief, funds donated by the people, and the disaster relief for the disaster relief people. Lang Boyu."

"Prime Minister."

"You are in charge of this matter. All disaster relief funds must be used for disaster relief. Anyone who enriches himself from it will be shot."

"Yes."

The more urgent this situation is, the more power can be centralized.

Just like Duan Xun.

There is no procedure at this time, everything is disaster relief first, and some temporary departments are quickly formed.But for Duan Xun, this moment is the best, because he can quickly gather power.Many things that cannot be done normally can be done at this time.

"And in order to prevent people from causing trouble at this time, a police department is established under the Disaster Relief Committee to strengthen various police systems. The police system must ensure the stability of all parts of the country, including the disaster areas. You Min."

"Prime Minister."

"You will serve as the director of the Military and Police Committee, and cooperate with the army to suppress bandits. This time, you will also serve as the chief of the police department of the Disaster Relief Committee, and cooperate with disaster relief."

"Yes."

The establishments are all temporary departments now, but how these departments will be dealt with in the future is not certain.Whether it will be revoked or retained is not certain.

Duan Xun will definitely do everything possible to keep some useful departments.

312 Governance

Still too far behind.

There is no comparison between this era and 100 years later. If such a disaster occurs 100 years later, the location of the occurrence can be determined within a short period of time.This time is just a few minutes.

But not now.

Very difficult.

Determining the exact location is definitely more difficult.

Even with the help of telegrams from several places, it was roughly determined that the location of the earthquake was in the northwest, and it was confirmed that it was the Ningxia area.However, the current communication and traffic conditions are very poor, and it is very difficult to determine the location of the earthquake.

Although Lanzhou worked very hard, it took several days of investigation before they officially determined the location of the earthquake center.In order to investigate this incident, Lanzhou sent many reconnaissance troops.The earthquake did occur in the Ningxia region of Gansu, with major earthquakes centered on Guyuan and Haiyuan counties.

Of course, Lanzhou didn't know where the earthquake center was.

Because for the current China, there is no technology in this area of ​​seismic testing, or even talents in this area.Although China has cultivated some talents and studied abroad in recent years, there is absolutely nothing about earthquakes.At present, many powerful countries in the world have their own seismic observation stations, but China does not even have one.This is the case in the whole of China, let alone Lanzhou, they can at most determine the scope of the disaster.Relying on what their scouts found out, it was just to determine some situations.

They don't know what to do with it.

But they do know that the situation is very serious.Even some mountains in Ningxia have already moved.Lanzhou sent people there, but they didn't go deep into the earthquake center. They just checked the situation in a few counties outside and reported immediately.

Because the surrounding counties are already very serious.

very serious.

Heavy casualties.

Especially the people in this place, many of the houses they live in are cave dwellings.When the earthquake came, the ground loosened slightly, and the cave dwelling immediately collapsed.What's more, this earthquake is really unprecedented.

In other words, it was the most destructive earthquake after humans were able to detect earthquakes.Half of China has been affected, one can imagine how big the earthquake was.

"Prime Minister."

"Mr. Shenwu, please sit down."

While setting up a disaster relief committee, he was centralizing power, but Duan Xun did not delay other things that should be done.After all, China is so big, and the Beijing government has so many things to deal with, it cannot be all about disaster relief.

To put it bluntly, Gansu is too remote, even if there is a major earthquake, it will definitely not hurt Beijing.It can even be said that there are problems in the whole of Gansu, and it will not have much impact on Beijing.Disaster relief is important, as is everything else.It was only because the earthquake was an excuse that Duan Xun needed so much that it was so much fanfare.

Not only for the purpose of centralizing power, but also to win over the hearts and minds of the people.

Moreover, the completion of this disaster relief is another huge boost to Duan Xun's reputation in China.It can even completely confirm Duan Xun's status in the Beijing government.Duan Xun can make this gesture because Duan Xun needs it.But Duan Xun, as the actual controller of the Beijing government, can't really waste all his energy on disaster relief.You can do gestures, but you can't do things so impulsively.At present, there are some important things to deal with, and my energy can't be limited to disaster relief.

So Duan Xun handed over the specific work of disaster relief to Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai, and he himself is in charge of the daily work of the current government.

"Mr. Shenwu, 1921 was the tenth year of the Republic of China and the tenth anniversary of the Revolution of [-]."

"Yes."

Wang Yitang was a little puzzled.

In fact, since entering the Beijing government, Wang Yitang has a lot of dissatisfaction.The foreign affairs department of the border supervision agency that I was originally managing has been merged into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has become an agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.However, Wang Yitang's qualifications are too deep, and it is impossible to do well in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Foreign Minister Yan Huiqing is not qualified to lead Wang Yitang at all.

Therefore, Wang Yitang was sent to the Congress by Duan Xun.

But right now Congress doesn't have much power at all.After repeated abuses by Duan Qirui, Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, Cao Kun, and Zhang Zuolin, the authority of the National Assembly dropped drastically.

The same is true now.

A powerful faction like Duan Xun usually seems to respect the Congress, as if he would ask Congress for its opinion on everything.But when something really happens, who cares who you are and what Congress is.Because Wang Yitang felt that his current power was greatly reduced, and he was a little dissatisfied.I even thought about contacting Duan Qirui.

But thinking about the current situation, it is Duan Xun who actually controls the Beijing government.Because Duan Xun has the most troops in his hands, and all of them are direct troops who have followed Duan Xun for many years.

In this regard, Duan Qirui's era has passed.
