Beiyang reactionaries

"Duan Degong (Duan Xun), this little bastard, is too deceitful."

341 Step by step pressing

"Rolling envoy, we are the only ones who have not made a statement."

Chen Yi saw that Lu Yongxiang was angry, and immediately persuaded Lu Yongxiang.

The general trend.

It's about the military-civilian division.

Duan Xun convened a cabinet meeting as the interim prime minister, and made a resolution at the cabinet meeting. After the approval of the great president Xu Shichang, he already has a righteous name.

Then the warlords and governors of various provinces, including Yang Zengxin, Yan Xishan, and Zhang Zuolin, also energized their support.More importantly, Duan Xun's implementation of the "separation of military and civilian governance" can be said to have won the unanimous support of the whole country.

This is something that many people have been looking forward to, and this is something that many people have been calling for.Therefore, newspapers across the country are clamoring for the implementation of the "separation of military and civilian rule" this time, and they are all praising Duan Xun.They all support Duan Xun in completing the division of military and civilian rule that the Beijing government has been unable to complete.

Who can fight this time.

If Lu Yongxiang does not accept it at this time, then Lu Yongxiang will inevitably become the target of national public opinion.Duan Xun has enough excuses to attack Lu Yongxiang.

The current situation is obvious that Duan Xun is in control of the general situation.

As the saying goes, the general trend of the world is mighty and mighty, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.Now the general trend is on Duan Xun's side, and the righteousness is on Duan Xun's side. Lu Yongxiang's strength is not enough to resist this general trend.

So Chen Yi hoped that Lu Yongxiang would not be impulsive.

In the current situation, all provinces in China have expressed their views, except for the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.And Lu Yongxiang, as the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, directly governs the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and everyone's eyes are on Lu Yongxiang.They are all waiting for Lu Yongxiang to express his position.

If Lu Yongxiang continues to remain silent, the consequences will be very serious.

"Statement, how to express your position. Duan Xun, my son, turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. His so-called 'dividing the army and the people' this time is aimed at me. Look, he actually made Xia Chao, a little man, the governor of Zhejiang. This is to break up my lair. Also, it’s fine if Zhang Wensheng is appointed as the governor of Anhui, and He Binglin is also appointed as the governor of Anhui, and I will not give my people a chance. Such a big matter, Duan Xun’s son is a little bit like me Without discussing it, do you still take me as a patrol envoy of the Yangtze River in your eyes? My patrol envoy of the Yangtze River is completely for display, how can I accept it."

Lu Yongxiang was really mad.

Both Lu Yongxiang and Duan Xun came from the Anhui Clan, and they were both Duan Qirui's direct descendants back then, so they belonged to the same faction.But in the Anhui Department, Duan Xun was no match for himself in terms of qualifications and status in the Beiyang Army.Moreover, the two were still comrades-in-arms in the last battle between Zhiwan and Anhui.Although the defeat of Wu Peifu by Duan Xun's troops is the key to victory in the war.However, Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang Army performed very well in Jiangsu, and it also made great contributions to contain Li Chun's army and defeat Li Chun's army.But look at the bastard Duan Xun, after becoming the prime minister of the cabinet, he is ungrateful.It didn't take long before Duan Xun pointed the finger at himself.

This time it was too obvious.

Obviously aimed at yourself.

Xia Chao, that dwarf, who is that?

He was born in the Restoration Association and was a hero of the Restoration of Zhejiang in the year of [-].After the year of [-], relying on this native Zhejiang faction who was entrenched in Zhejiang and controlled the Zhejiang police system for ten years.After the Revolution of [-], Zhejiang changed so many governors and governors of Zhejiang.Among them are those from the Revolutionary Party and those from the Beiyang Army.But regardless of how this position changes, the only one with a stable position in Zhejiang's military and political system is Xia Chao.No matter who came to Zhejiang, they couldn't shake Xia Chao's position in Zhejiang.

Because of what?

Because of the police system in Zhejiang, the heads of the police systems in every city and county are all Xia Chao’s fellow villagers, classmates, and students.This was arranged when Xia Chao was the director of the Zhejiang Police Department in the early years.So much so that now, without Xia Chao's order in Zhejiang, it is not easy to use anyone in the police system.Of course, Xia Chao would not be so powerful in Zhejiang if he only controlled the police system.After all, this era is the era of warlords, what do you mean as a director of the police department.

What is the most important thing in this era?

gun barrel.

In Xia Chao's hands, there is a police force of ten thousand people, which Xia Chao has trained for ten years.

It is precisely because Xia Chao has controlled the Zhejiang police system and controlled a police force of [-] people.So even Lu Yongxiang couldn't do much about him.Therefore, the two of them have always been regarded as rivers and wells, and the most they can do is to limit his power to the police system and prevent his power from continuing to expand.But Duan Xun appointed Xia Chao as the governor of Zhejiang this time, and Xia Chao will be really powerful in Zhejiang by then.

Pan Guogang?

Can you hold Xia Chao down?

Lu Yongxiang was very worried.Zhejiang, that is Zhejiang, is Lu Yongxiang's lair.If Xia Chao controls Zhejiang's finances, his police system will continue to expand, and his police force will continue to expand.

What to do then?

At that time, let alone Pan Guogang, it will be very difficult for Lu Yongxiang to control Xia Chao.

In addition to Zhejiang, there is Anhui.Anhui was not originally Lu Yongxiang's territory, and now two people who are not Lu Yongxiang's direct descendants have been appointed as the governor and governor of Anhui.How will Lu Yongxiang control Anhui in the future.

Too much.

There will be more and more problems in the future.

Now Lu Yongxiang is very embarrassed.

He didn't want to agree at all, after all, it was obviously weakening his own strength.But also he can't object at will.Because casual opposition can easily offend those who have already been appointed to the cabinet.

Those people are not easy to offend.

Xia Chao and Zhang Wensheng are all powerful factions with their own troops.

"Rolling envoy, if we continue not to express our position, big things will happen. If Zhang Wensheng and the others take the lead in expressing their position, then the position of the patrolling envoy will be very embarrassing."

Chen Yi sighed.

Of course Chen Yi understood what Duan Xun meant.

Now the whole country is basically under the control of Duan Xun, and Lu Yongxiang is the largest force of warlords who listen to the tune and don't listen to the propaganda.In terms of strength, Lu Yongxiang is the second largest warlord in China after Duan Xun, and even Fengjun Zhang Zuolin is not as good as Lu Yongxiang.How could a person like Duan Xun allow someone like Lu Yongxiang to exist under his rule.

But Duan Xun is a smart man.

It will not blindly provoke wars and give people excuses.So use this method to slowly weaken Lu Yongxiang's strength.But even if you know how.Duan Xun is playing Yangmou, let you know that you can't refuse.Because Duan Xun mobilizes public opinion in the name of righteousness, and uses the general trend to suppress you.

The current situation is not what Lu Yongxiang wants to do.

"Gongzhi (Chen Yi), then you see how I will deal with it."

"There is no way at this stage."

Chen Yi shook her head.

But he quickly said: "After this period, we should cooperate with Zhang Zuolin and Yan Xishan to fight against Duan Xun. Only in this way can we have the capital to fight against Duan Xun."

"That is to say, it must be admitted now?"

"Yes."

Chen Yi was very sure.

Now that things have reached this stage, Lu Yongxiang has no choice.In fact, to put it bluntly, it is because the current strength of the Beijing government is very strong. In other words, Duan Xun is too strong now.

Already have the strength to crush the major warlords.

That's why Duan Xun was able to enforce the separation of military and civilian rule.In the past, those people also had righteous names and public opinion support, but their strength was not enough to crush the warlords of all walks of life, so they failed to succeed.

"Damn."

Lu Yongxiang's face became more and more ugly.
