"Fengjun was duplicitous and secretly funded Zhang Xun!"
"The rebel hero may be the driving force behind it!"
"The true nature of bandits, a detailed explanation of the inside story of Fengjun's entry into the Pass."
…
After experiencing the test of war, countless tea guests poured into the newly opened Xiangyun Teahouse, the restoration failed in an instant, a large number of homes of the Eight Banners aristocrats were confiscated, the fate of the little emperor, the conflict between Beiyang and Fengjun, every issue...
It is attractive enough that these tea guests exchange all kinds of news with each other as soon as they meet, and the teahouse is full of high-pitched conversations.
"Everyone, have you seen it? As the saying goes, it is difficult to paint a dragon or a tiger. You know the face but not the heart. When Fengjun entered the pass so quickly and won consecutive battles, many people praised them. Now their true colors have been exposed! They actually
Sold arms to Zhang Xun, maybe they were the ones instigating the restoration, this is really sinister!"
"No way, they were praised in the newspapers a few days ago. Moreover, Fengjun is indeed helping the victims. Many people are pointing to them for living. There are not many armies that can do good things in the world. If Fengjun can't
It’s unreliable, and there is no hope in the future.”
"This is where people have sinister intentions. They know how to fish for fame, but they didn't expect that the fire can't be contained in the paper. Sooner or later, it will leak out..."
While several tea guests were sighing, a businessman in his thirties next to him suddenly laughed: "Old men, when you read newspapers and listen to the news, you can't just believe whatever someone says.
Haven’t you noticed who wrote these articles?”
"Master, if you have any news, please tell us."
"Everyone, Yinchang is the one who took the lead in writing the article. I don't need to say more about what he does. The others are all related to the Eight Banners. Can you believe that they jumped out to criticize Fengjun?"
After hearing this, all the tea guests were reconsidering, and some people suddenly realized: "No wonder it happened. It turned out that Fengjun raided the homes of the princes of the Eight Banners. As a result, they were dissatisfied and wrote an article in the newspaper.
These guys are so abominable for slandering Fengjun, why don't you deal with them?"
"What are you dealing with? These people are hiding in Dongjiaomin Lane, relying on the protection of foreigners, talking nonsense. I think Fengjun did the right thing to deal with these princes and nobles. The only problem is that they have not been wiped out all."
"That's right, in the past they were domineering. How many people suffered from them, and they made the world so virtuous. Not to mention confiscating property, they deserved to chop off a few heads!"
…
In Beijing, Tianjin and other places, there are such discussions everywhere. However, the unfavorable remarks against Fengjun did not take shape at all, and not many people believed Fengjun's accusations. There were also newspapers that specifically reported on Fengjun's behavior before the restoration.
, indeed sold some arms to the Braided Army. But I am afraid that Fengjun was also deceived by Zhang Xun. It is impossible for Fengjun to fund the Braided Army or even direct the restoration.
"What happened? Who leaked the news?"
Lao Duan was preparing to launch a public opinion offensive. However, articles accusing Fengjun had appeared in the newspapers before him, and the matter mentioned was the issue of arms. Lao Duan could only think that he had launched it in advance, but at first glance
The author of these articles, Lao Duan, was immediately dumbfounded.
They were all the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, including the old guy Yinchang. Seeing this, Lao Duan slammed the newspaper to the ground and cursed: "These useless bastards, who told them to talk nonsense?"
, Yinchang is also old and confused, he is simply a bag of bad things, and he is more likely to fail than succeed!"
Lao Duan has always been frustrated in front of Fengjun, and finally found an excuse to fight back, but it was used by these Eight Banners disciples in advance. The same words have completely different effects when said by different people. Now anyone who criticizes Fengjun is believed, but only
No one would believe these Eight Banners disciples.
Not only does he not believe it, but he will support Fengjun's actions even more. If Lao Duan continues to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for Fengjun, he will be said to be venting his anger on the same nose as the Eight Banners disciples. A good card, not yet
Once he was beaten out, he was completely destroyed. One can imagine how Lao Duan felt.
Little Zhuge also gritted his teeth: "Zhiweng, I'm going to find out who caused the problem right away. We must not tolerate adultery!"
Just when Xu Shuzheng was about to investigate, another news came. Lao Duan and Xiao Xu were frightened. It turned out that the newly restored president Li Yuanhong had sent a telegram to Zhang Zuolin.
In the telegram, Li Yuanhong enthusiastically praised Fengjun's achievements. At the same time, he also put a high hat on Zhang Zuolin, calling him a pillar of the country and Fengjun a powerful force in the world. In the end, Li Yuanhong took the initiative to invite Zhang Zuolin to Beijing to discuss government affairs together.
Moreover, Li Bodhisattva also said that he would hand over the position of Army Chief to Zhang Zuolin!
This news can be described as a thunder, falling directly on Duan Qirui's head. The Army Chief has always been concurrently held by the old Duan. It is with this status that the old Duan can command the world and be the prime minister.
, if we lose control of the military and are just an empty Prime Minister, I am afraid that he will not be as comfortable as the President of Le Bodhisattva!
"Zhi Weng, Li Yuanhong has done everything possible to win over Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin must not be allowed to enter the border. Otherwise, with Fengjun as his backing, Zhang Zuolin will be able to get involved in the central government and echo Li Yuanhong. What else do we want to do?
, it becomes even more difficult!”
Of course Duan Qirui knew the stakes involved. Li Yuanhong was famous and Zhang Zuolin was powerful. The combination of the two was indeed enough to challenge Beiyang and was a serious problem.
"Youzheng, it is true that Zhang Zuolin cannot be allowed to enter the customs, but is there anything you can do?"
When Lao Duan asked, the resourceful Xu Shuzheng ran out of ideas. He would definitely not be able to use force. More than 10,000 Fengjun troops were still in the pass. If there was a riot, the consequences would be 10,000 times more serious than those of the braided army.
You can't use hard ones, you can only use soft ones. In other words, you have to bribe Fengjun. Li Yuanhong has already offered a price, and the Army Chief has already taken it. What kind of chips can Lao Duan afford to give Zhang Zuolin?
Is it a good thing to give up your full rights?
The more Xu Shuzheng thought about it, the more clueless he became. He had no clue at all. At this moment, news came out from the Presidential Palace that Li Yuanhong was preparing to appoint Sun Liechen as the governor of Jehol.
"This bastard Li Yuanhong, doesn't he want to sell the whole world to Zhang Zuolin?"
In fact, for Li Yuanhong, whether it was the Chief of Army or the Governor of Rehe, they were originally Duan Qirui's things. Now they were given to Zhang Zuolin. He didn't feel bad at all. On the contrary, if he could promote an alliance with Zhang Zuolin, he could break Duan Qirui's possessions
With Qirui's control over the government, Lao Li can take a breather, which is what Li Yuanhong dreams of.
The reason why Li Yuanhong was so eager to offer such generous conditions also had something to do with Duan Qirui. After the old Duan eliminated Zhang Xun's troops, he had no choice but to announce that he would abolish the old legal system, re-elect Congress, and amend the provisional law.
This proposal is actually directed at Li Yuanhong. If the treaty is really revised, Li Yuanhong's legitimacy as president will be gone, and Duan Qirui is digging his ancestral grave. You are unkind and I am unjust. When things have reached this point, Li Yuanhong can only
He broke up with Duan Qirui and tried desperately to win over Zhang Zuolin.
"Zhi Weng, now Bodhisattva Li is causing trouble, the top priority is to stabilize Zhang Zuolin and concentrate all our efforts to stabilize the government. Then we can deal with Fengjun!"
"Well, that's all we can do." Duan Qirui walked around the ground for a few times and said, "Zheng Zheng, you go and visit Zhou Xuexi. Ask him to come forward and help test Feng Jun's attitude. As long as the price is right,
We admit it!"
When he said this, Lao Duan's fists were clenched so tightly that his joints were turning white. Duan Qirui was a stubborn man who had repeatedly failed in front of Feng Jun. He had lost his anger. The most important thing now was to be strong.
Without sufficient military support, it is impossible to suppress the princes in this place.
"I have to say, your strategy of fighting fire with fire is so clever. The accusations made by the prince of the Eight Banners are completely useless. No one in the world will believe that the counterattack planned by Lao Duan was so easily resolved. It is really too much.
So clever!"
"Duke Zhou, he is just writing about petty tricks and cannot be regarded as anything!"
"This is no small trick. How to deal with the pressure of public opinion has always been the most troublesome thing. No matter Yuan Gongbao or Duan Qirui, there is no good way. Compared with them, you are the next generation to be feared!"
"You're so complimentary. Now that you've come to me, you won't just praise me a few words. If there's anything else, you just want to talk about your famous words, right?"
"My words are my tact, so I'll tell you the truth. Xiao Xu found me. He doesn't want Yu Shuai to come to Beijing, and he doesn't want you to join forces with Li Yuanhong. Now it depends on what you choose."
Zhang Tinglan also has an account in his heart. Li Yuanhong is an empty president with no soldiers or generals. It is simply unrealistic to point him at Beiyang. Of course, if Feng Jun aims at the central government, this is also a good opportunity, but Zhang Tinglan knows
Knowing that chaos was about to occur in Russia, Fengjun's eyes must be set on the north, and he could not involve too much energy in the pass.
Only when the family is settled can we compete in the Central Plains. If the two major scourges of Japan and Russia are not resolved, Feng Jun will be seeking death if he stays in the pass for a long time. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan has already made up his mind to enter the pass this time and make a big fortune, so he will hurry up.
After retreating, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to arrange outside the customs.
Of course, this is just Zhang Tinglan's inner calculation. He will not miss the good opportunity to blackmail Duan Qirui again. Li Yuanhong is a good card in Feng Jun's hand and must be played to the extreme.
"The various undertakings in the three eastern provinces have just started, and the pressure from Japan and Russia is still there. Fengjun does not want to interfere too much in internal affairs in the future. Where will the government go? In fact, Fengjun does not need to participate too much!"
Zhou Xuexi also smelled Zhang Tinglan's intention. Since Fengjun was unwilling to participate too much, he left the opportunity to Duan Qirui. Beiyang could continue to hold power. Zhou Xuexi was also happy with such a result. After all, he and Duan Qirui
The relationship between Beiyang is too close, and they are not willing to watch Beiyang completely collapse.
"My humble opinion is that in this case, there shouldn't be too much cooperation between Feng Jun and Li Yuanhong."
"Yes, but we cannot let go of the benefits Li Yuanhong promised. Rehe must return to Fengjun. In addition, the commander-in-chief gave up the high position of army chief and must be compensated."
"This is a reasonable request, but I don't know what you are looking for?"
"First, Duan Qirui must formally guarantee to Fengjun that he will not betray the interests of the Northeast to the Japanese. Any diplomatic issues involving the three northeastern provinces must be notified to Fengjun in advance. Only after both parties reach an agreement can they be passed. Otherwise, any secret diplomacy
, none of them can be counted; secondly, the Beiyang government should hand over the management of Changlu Salt Field to Fengjun; thirdly, it should allow schools and factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area to move to the three northeastern provinces, and Fengjun should set up special offices in Beijing and Tianjin.
Beiyang must cooperate with all financial institutions and recruit various talents!"
Preventing Beiyang from betraying the interests of the three northeastern provinces has been a commonplace issue. Zhang Tinglan once again raised it, which is to form a system and not just stay at the level of verbal promises. This is also a further protection for the three northeastern provinces, otherwise Fengjun and Lao
Duan had a falling out, and old Duan sold the three eastern provinces to the Japanese. Fengjun was in big trouble.
As for the second and third items, they are new things. Zhang Tinglan has already set his sights on the Changlu Salt Field. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty started selling salt and iron, salt has always been a hugely profitable industry in China. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were even more wealthy people.
But the enemy's salt merchant group. And the Changlu Salt Farm is the largest salt farm in China with the best natural conditions. How could Zhang Tinglan let it go?
If a Changlu Salt Farm is well run, it will generate an income of at least tens of millions a year. Moreover, salt is an important chemical raw material. If Fengtian wants to develop the chemical industry, it cannot do without it. Naturally, it is necessary to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to get the salt farm.
