Beiyang reactionaries

Zhao Litai half-closed his eyes and said: "The relationship between people is the most unpredictable. I also know my body, and I probably won't live for a few years. I'm alive, so I can talk about anything. When I'm gone, our family will Those boys are all young now, so what development can they make. Before I die, I should do something, which can be regarded as paving the way for the boys in our family. "

"But why did you resign?"

"You do not understand."

Zhao Litai shook his head.

How can a woman understand her own thoughts?

"Hurry up. Get me a pen before I change my mind."

Zhao Litai walked down with difficulty.

Now Zhao Litai really doesn't even want to get out of bed or walk.For him, eating and going to the toilet are burdens.But he still sat on the chair, sighed, and wrote slowly.

On April 1922, 4, the afternoon when Wang Kemin was summoned by the prosecutor's office, there was another explosive news.

Zhao Litai.

In fact, Zhao Litai has not appeared in front of everyone for a long time.In other words, although Zhao Litai has deep qualifications in the Beiyang Army and was the first principal of Baoding Military Academy after the Revolution of [-], he is indeed not a big brother of the Beiyang Army.Because Zhao Litai didn't care about things very early.In the early years, Duan Qirui wanted him to be the governor of Shaanxi, but he was not very willing because he felt too tired.

Therefore, Zhao Litai is not on the same level as those Beiyang army bosses who control China's destiny.

But who made him a good student.Although Zhao Litai has many students because he has been in the military academy for many years, everyone knows that Zhao Litai's most proud student is the current interim cabinet prime minister Duan Xun.

So still very influential.

Zhao Litai submitted his resignation letter on the same day.Then he publicly stated that as a person who has smoked opium for many years, he understands the dangers of opium better than anyone else.I support my student Duan Xun and support the cabinet's anti-smoking campaign.China should completely ban smoking.

Zhao Litai said that as a drug addict for many years, he is not qualified to continue to be an army general.Therefore, he is willing to resign the rank of general of the Ministry of the Army and withdraw from the military circle to show his attitude.

Add oil to the fire.

This is what adds fuel to the fire.The prosecutor's office not only arrested many generals of the Beiyang Army who had left the field, but also successively summoned the top politicians of the Beiyang Army such as Jiang Chaozong and Wang Kemin.Many people think that the cabinet is a little too much, or that the cabinet is a little anxious.

Some people think that Duan Xun is from the Beiyang Army after all, if he is slightly influenced, he should be shaken.But Zhao Litai's statement made many people have only one idea.

This is not a joke.

Duan Xun, the cabinet is very determined this time.Otherwise, Duan Xun's mentor, Zhao Litai, would choose to resign from the rank of general of the army.Even Zhao Litai quit the military because of the opium problem, no one else can compare with Zhao Litai.In terms of relationship with Duan Xun, even Duan Qirui, a relative of Duan Xun, can't compare.

In an instant, Jiang Chaozong and Wang Kemin were summoned by the prosecutor's office, which was not a big deal.

346 Pressing Every Step 5

Noisy.

After entering 1922, the Chinese political arena, which was originally relatively calm, suddenly changed, and suddenly the situation changed.Especially after Duan Xun became the interim cabinet prime minister, the cabinet moved frequently and caused too many disturbances.So many newspapers began to criticize Duan Xun, especially the newspapers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

Even some newspapers that had supported Duan Xun in the past slowly criticized Duan Xun.

I think Duan Xun is still too young.

Being an interim prime minister at such a young age, it is too urgent to deal with things.These newspapers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui are all worried about one thing.That is, once a fight breaks out, it will be the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions that will be unlucky in the end.

Because they all believe in one thing.

Once there is a fight, the war zone must be the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions.They previously supported Duan Xun's "military-civilian separation" policy, believing that this policy is of great benefit to China's long-term stability.But when they found that this policy was likely to cause war or harm their interests, they immediately opposed Duan Xun's policy.This is the Chinese scholar.

It is a common thought of Chinese scholars for thousands of years to put the family first and the country second.

The public opinion is surging, and the voice of criticism is getting louder and louder.However, Duan Xun was not affected by these newspapers at all, nor was he affected by the endless stream of entrustments from all parties. Instead, he has been very stable.

Because Duan Xun's goal is very clear.

Don't look at the messy things at present, as if a lot of things are piled up, making the cabinet very busy and stressful.But in fact, Duan Xun has done a good job of dividing up most of the things, and let everyone be responsible for what they should be responsible for.All Duan Xun's energy was concentrated on Lu Yongxiang.

No matter how many things there are, Duan Xun also knows what is the point.

Among the many contradictions, grasping the most important contradiction is something Duan Xun knows very well.So don't look at the many things, but Duan Xun handed over all the side things to others.

Duan Xun is currently firmly controlling the army and conducting military deployments.

And as Duan Xun's mentor, Zhao Litai, resigned from the rank of general of the Ministry of Army because of opium, after retiring from the military, all the arguments ended abruptly in an instant.

Because there is no need to discuss it.

There were still some doubts and doubts about the cabinet's anti-smoking campaign.Then as Zhao Litai announced his withdrawal from the military, everyone knew that the cabinet was not joking, on the contrary, it was very determined.Since the cabinet's determination is so great, there is no need for discussion.Everyone's attention immediately shifted to Lu Yongxiang's side.

On April 1922, 4, Congress officially began to discuss Lu Yongxiang's proposal.

On April 1922, 4, after more than two days of discussion, the House of Representatives took the lead in making a decision on this day.The House of Representatives believes that the order issued by the cabinet to limit the power of the Yangtze River patrol envoys is in line with the national policy of "separation of military and civilian rule" passed by the presidential palace, cabinet, and Congress.Therefore, there is no case where the cabinet deliberately targets Lu Yongxiang, the patrol envoy on the Yangtze River.Therefore, after discussion, the House of Representatives rejected Lu Yongxiang's appeal.

On the contrary, the House of Representatives believes that the "division of military and civilian rule" policy of Congress is a national policy and should be unswervingly adhered to.

After the House of Representatives rejected it, on April 1922, 4, the Senate also made a decision.It is believed that Lu Yongxiang's complaint is groundless, and the cabinet's policy is not to deliberately suppress Lu Yongxiang, let alone political revenge.

Therefore, Lu Yongxiang's appeal was also rejected.

At the same time, Senate President Wang Yitang directly criticized Lu Yongxiang at a press conference.It is very inappropriate to think that Lu Yongxiang, as a patrol envoy on the Yangtze River, took the lead in opposing the national policy of "separation of the military and civilians" and directed normal policies towards political revenge.Lu Yongxiang is required to pay attention to his words and deeds, and do his duty as a patrol envoy to the Yangtze River.

So far, Lu Yongxiang's idea of ​​using Congress to solve the cabinet order has completely failed.

But Lu Yongxiang refused to recognize the results of Congress.Lu Yongxiang directly stated in Nanjing that he could not accept such a result.And criticized Duan Xun, thinking that Congress made such a resolution entirely because of Duan Xun's pressure on Congress.The previous termination of the qualifications of 34 MPs was politically motivated.

But no matter what happens to Lu Yongxiang, things are already like this.

Congress has already made a decision.

The farce is over.

Now that the normal appeal is over, Duan Xun will continue to suppress Lu Yongxiang.

Duan Xun will not give Lu Yongxiang a little chance, will not give him any chance to breathe.We must continue to suppress, continue to apply pressure, until finally Lu Yongxiang cannot accept it.In the end, Lu Yongxiang could only resist with arms.

Of course, Lu Yongxiang continued to retreat and hand over the power obediently, and Duan Xun was also willing.

But Duan Xun didn't believe it at all.

Because Duan Xun knew the warlords like Lu Yongxiang.They will never give up their power obediently until the last moment, until the final despair.In other words, Lu Yongxiang will definitely resist in the end.

But that's what Duan Xun wanted.

Lu Yongxiang resisted, and Duan Xun had the name of suppressing the rebellion.

On April 1922, 4, Li Zhanyang, the new head of the Cabinet Administration of Taxation, announced that all taxes in the country, regardless of whether it is national tax or local tax, all funds must pass through the account of the Commercial Bank of China (formerly Southwest Commercial Bank).From now on, tax bureaus across the country will cooperate with Chinese commercial banks.

The preparation time is three months.
