Beiyang reactionaries

Dai Kan, the former commander of bandit suppression, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the disaster relief mobile force, and Sun Yue was appointed as the deputy commander of the disaster relief mobile force.

Tasks are different.

The usual training of field troops is fighting, and the training of disaster relief troops is disaster relief training.The reason why it was chosen to be established in Wuhan is to train troops to fight floods.

One policy after another came out.

However, because January 1922, 1 was the Spring Festival, the remaining days were filled with government reports.Just like how many railways the government built last year, how many schools it built, how many factories it set up, how much steel output, how much coal output, how much power generation, and so on.

A bunch of boring data.

But after the Spring Festival passed, Duan Xun soon surprised the whole country.

On February 1922, 2, President Xu Shichang approved the proposal submitted by the cabinet on "separation of military and civilian rule".In this proposal, the cabinet made a very clear formulation of the powers and responsibilities of the national military governor and governor.

What should the governor of a province be in charge of, and what should the governor of a province be in charge of.

They are all clearly marked.

In fact, it is very simple. From then on, the Overseer only manages the army and matters related to the army. It should even be said that it is similar to the role of the logistics leader of the army.Not only does he not have the right to manage the affairs of the local army as before, but he also has no right to manage the affairs of the local government.All the work of the local government, including government personnel, government finance, government police work, and all government affairs, are subordinate to the governor of a province, or the local government itself is responsible.Even the military expenses needed by the Overseer depended on funding from the Ministry of War and local government finances.

Great restrictions have been placed on the Overseer.

After Xu Shichang approved it, he immediately announced it to the public.

A sensation in the whole country.

Because many people have promoted the "separation of military and civilian rule" over the years, including Yuan Shikai who proclaimed himself emperor back then.Starting from Yuan Shikai, Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, and even Cao Kun, who once controlled the Beijing government, and Wu Peifu all wanted to accomplish this.They are all very active in promoting "military-civilian separation".Because those who were able to reach high positions in Beijing, even Cao Kun, who was considered the "Three Idiots of Cao", knew the reasons for the melee in China.

That is, the local warlords are too powerful in the local area.

To restrict those local warlords, the most important thing is to implement the separation of military and civilian rule.We cannot allow warlords to control everything and control local military affairs.

But no one succeeded.

Because the local warlords are too powerful.Regardless of how many names were used to divide the military and the civilians, it has no effect.Those of them didn't dare to offend the local warlords too much, so many things were left alone.In fact, Li Yuanhong's "divide the military and civilian rule" is the best in terms of content.

Pity it didn't work.

Li Yuanhong was in Beijing, and even the Beijing government couldn't control it. He was overwhelmed by Duan Qirui, let alone the separation of the army and the people.

But Duan Xun is very determined this time.

When the cabinet announced the plan of "dividing the military and the civilians", the appointment of governors and governors of the provinces came down immediately.What everyone is concerned about is the situation in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, as well as Fengtian, Shanxi, and Xinjiang.

Because other places are Duan Xun's former territory, or the territory that has been digested in the past two years.For those territories controlled by Duan Xun, Duan Xun began to limit the power of the local warlords early on.

Those local warlords are not allowed to get involved in local government affairs, and they are not allowed to get involved in field troops.Although many local warlords are from the army, it is not so easy for them to completely sever ties with the army.But overall still very well done.

Only these provinces are not under Duan Xun's control.

Among the plans announced by the cabinet, Xinjiang and Fengtian are regarded as special cases.Because Xinjiang is located in the frontier, Fengtian has to deal with the relationship with Japan, so it is not appropriate for the two provinces to go to war.

Therefore, the power of the Overseer for the two provinces will not be changed for the time being.

Appoint Yang Zengxin as the governor of Xinjiang, and appoint Zhang Zuolin as the governor of Fengtian. He is fully responsible for the military and political affairs of Xinjiang and Fengtian.Yang Zengxin's direct descendant, Jin Shuren, was appointed as the director of the Xinjiang Government Affairs Department, and Yuan Jinkai was appointed as the governor of Fengtian.

But other provinces are not so easy to talk about.

Especially Shanxi.

Duan Xun has long been dissatisfied with Yan Xishan in Shanxi, or he has long been displeased with Shanxi.Because Shanxi is close at hand, although it can't be said that it poses a great threat to the capital, it will make people sleep uneasy after all.As the saying goes, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

Moreover, Yan Xishan is a double-dealer and politically capricious.

Duan Xun didn't want to be hit in the back when he was fighting with Lu Yongxiang, Zhang Zuolin, or Japan.So it is very direct for Shanxi.

Shanxi does not have the privileges of Xinjiang and Fengtian.

Yan Xishan served as the governor of Shanxi and was only in charge of military affairs.Zhang Peimei served as the governor of Shanxi and was in charge of Shanxi government affairs.Shanxi's finances and police affairs are all in the charge of the governor of Shanxi.

Then there is the area controlled by Lu Yongxiang that everyone has focused on.

He Fenglin served as the governor of Jiangsu, and Chen Yi served as the governor of Jiangsu.Pan Guogang served as the governor of Zhejiang, and Xia Chao served as the governor of Zhejiang.Zhang Wensheng served as the governor of Anhui, and He Binglin served as the governor of Anhui.Zhang Zaiyang served as the Songhu Army Guard.

Lu Yongxiang continued to serve as the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, responsible for military and political affairs in the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

When the cabinet implemented the "separation of military and civilian rule", provinces across the country soon sent telegrams of support.Of course, they all came from the area controlled by Duan Xun.

But the momentum is huge.

Who let Duan Xun control more than 20 provinces.

The newly appointed warlords and governors of each province issued telegrams to support Duan Xun, which was really a massive situation.Soon Xinjiang Governor Yang Zengxin issued a telegram in Yili, supporting the cabinet's plan of "separation of military and civilian rule".

Because Yang Zengxin knows the situation in Xinjiang better than anyone else.

At present, the total population of Xinjiang is only 40 million, 70.00% of which are Uighurs.Then a large number of Kazakhs entered Xinjiang, and there are currently several 10 people.The total number of Han Chinese is only about [-].

It is very difficult for Yang Zengxin to balance the interests of all ethnic groups.

There is not much military strength in hand.

Once Duan Xun is angered, when Duan Xun sends a division of troops from Gansu into Xinjiang, it will be difficult for Yang Zengxin to resist.So after Duan Xun released some friendly attitude, he immediately reciprocated Duan Xun.

Among the local warlords, he was the first to stand up and support Duan Xun.

After that was Yan Xishan.

Although Yan Xishan felt very aggrieved, because he was almost covering the sky with one hand in Shanxi.But after this change, the power in Zhang Peimei's hands has greatly increased, and has already directly threatened Yan Xishan's status.Zhang Peimei was not a small person in Shanxi's military and political affairs. After the Revolution of [-], he served as the deputy governor of Shanxi.Zhang Peimei's tenure as the governor of Shanxi this time has greatly increased his power, allowing him to counter Yan Xishan.However, Yan Xishan is a man who can bend and stretch, and he followed up with the telegrams to express his support.

The general trend.

Because the separation of the army and the people is something the whole country has been looking forward to.

After the support of Yang Zengxin and Yan Xishan, Zhang Zuolin, the governor of Fengtian, also issued a telegram to support the cabinet's "military-civilian division" plan.A lot of public opinion was very surprised.

Back then, so many people wanted to separate the military from the civilian population, but none of them succeeded.But this time Duan Xun's plan to "divide the military and civilians" was able to get such support.

But it is.

Duan Xun is the most powerful warlord since the founding of the Republic of China.

"boom--"

Nanjing.

Lu Yongxiang, the only local warlord who has not made a statement so far, is furious in Nanjing.He threw all the wine glasses in his hand to the ground.
