The weather in Beijing has just entered summer, and there is finally some moisture in the air. The fastest novel update [ ]
In the streets and alleys, alleys and alleys, people in old Beijing are still the same as before. They get up early in the morning and walk around, playing with the birds and animals. They sit together in twos and threes at teahouses and stalls, talking about recent eye-catching current events. To say that now is the most exciting thing.
The topic of Ledao is no longer the civil war between the North and the South, nor the long-past "Congress Crisis" incident, but what new actions the Beiyang government will take after pacifying the Southern Revolutionary Party.
People are only interested in known things for three minutes, but they will obviously become more and more enthusiastic about unknown things.
The old house of the School of Finance is still guarded and patrolled by soldiers recently. The first parliamentary meeting was only halfway through. Although it has only been less than two months since it was suspended, the old house has already shown some vicissitudes and dilapidation.
.
Those congressmen who are still keen on political affairs will drive to the Finance School from time to time to take a look. Zhicheng hopes that things will change, and suddenly one side of the Congress will recover. But more congressmen are still just leading Beiyang.
The government provides a generous salary, and then invites them in groups, either to the box office, to teahouses, or to get together to play mahjong.
For Yuan Shikai, his current mood is very complicated. Like many ordinary people in Beijing, he is also thinking about the next step. Regarding the occurrence of the "Congress Crisis" incident, until this moment he
They all felt very upset and surprised. They never expected that things would spiral out of control and become so "out of control".
Of course, the reason why it is said to be "out of control" is because this matter is not under his control, and he feels even more angry at the person who is actually controlling this matter behind the scenes. [New]
It's just that although he was angry, looking at the overall situation in the country, everything had not changed too bad, and nothing was against his own and Beiyang's interests. On the contrary, it was precisely because of this "loss of control" that the Beiyang government suddenly became clean and tidy.
It solves many "tasteless" problems and hidden dangers.
Nowadays, there have been some wonderful changes inside and outside the presidential palace, part of which was secretly instigated by Yuan Shikai, and part of which was caused by people's influence on the changes in the external situation in the past two months.
Even though many unresolved issues have been resolved after this civil war, as the highest and actual person in power in the Republic of China, he originally had his own wishes, plans and arrangements. Things would not have to be so laborious, even if it seems a bit mother-in-law.
Let the outside world misunderstand that the Beiyang government is weak, even if it makes foreign people greatly disappointed, it is an excellent start for the new Republic of China.
Especially laying the foundation for a private wish buried in his heart!
The sudden change not only disrupted all his plans, but also made him aware of a new problem. This problem happened to originate from within Beiyang, and it was also a major or minor hidden danger!
The most respected and trusted capable general in the past is suddenly behind the scenes and planning a conspiracy that is close to a coup. Even if this conspiracy ultimately benefits him, it is related to an issue of "trust". The other party today
You can act recklessly to protect his interests, but will you act recklessly to protect your own interests tomorrow?
It's too cold to be in a high place, and when you sit in a position of supreme power, you can't help but become lonely and suspicious.[ ]
For this reason, Yuan Shikai made a sweeping reorganization of the Beijing Guards in Beiyuan and Nanyuan last month. He dismissed Beiyuan Garrison Commander Lei Zhenchun and appointed him as a military adviser to the Presidential Palace. Beiyuan Garrison Division and Nanyuan Garrison Division
Tian Wenlie was put in charge of everything. In fact, Lei Zhenchun and Tian Wenlie were both subordinates who had followed Yuan Shikai when he was in North Korea. In terms of qualifications and trust, they far surpassed Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang. Because of this, these two men
All the tasks of the Nian Guard are managed by these two people.
But Lei Zhenchun is from Anhui. This didn't matter before, but now he has to be more cautious.
Not only that, the Presidential Palace has also issued a new security division expansion plan. It is expected to expand the establishment of one division each in Nanyuan and Beiyuan to four divisions within half a year. It is also expected that the security division will be upgraded to the Presidential Guard Division by the end of this year.
Government security force.
This day is June 20th, five days have passed since the end of the civil war.
The Presidential Palace became increasingly busy. Reports and documents submitted from the warring provinces in the south were springing up like mushrooms after a rain. The Secret Service and the aide-de-camp mobilized all their manpower, and they were able to manage the piles of telegrams, letters, various documents, etc.
Yuan Shikai would spend some time every day dealing with the aftermath, but more time would be spent on rectifying the military affairs of the Beiyang Army. Not only was it considering expanding the garrison, but also the old Beiyang Army designation should be reformed.
And this reform will naturally involve the redistribution of forces within Beiyang.
In the military staff room of Huairentang, Lei Zhenchun, Tian Wenlie, Yin Chang and Japanese military adviser Rihachiro Banishi were reporting to Yuan Shikai on the plan to reorganize the national army numbers.
At this moment, an announcement came from outside the door, and then Zhang Yiqi and two secret officers walked in with a stack of documents each.
Yuan Shikai glanced at Zhang Yichen. He knew that this hour every day was the time to deal with the aftermath of the aftermath in the south. However, he had been busy with military affairs for a while and had forgotten this for a while. Only then did Zhang Yichen take the initiative to find this person from his room.
Bian Lai. He didn't blame him too much in his heart. After all, both matters were very important, and compared with rectifying national affairs, dealing with the aftermath of the war in the South was more urgent.
"President, I have been waiting for several messages for almost five days. Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi are all urging me." Zhang Yichen's tone did not mean much urging, but there was obvious urgency.
Yuan Shikai did not answer in a hurry. He thought for a moment, and then said to the military advisers in front of him: "You guys should think about it here first. I will come when I go. Well, Huanting, you also come with me."
Everyone made a promise, and Tian Wenlie followed Yuan Shikai out of the military staff room.
Yuan Shikai did not return to the south room. Since Zhang Yiqi had brought the documents, he simply handled them in the tea room nearby.
After sitting down, Zhang Yichen handed the documents to Yuan Shikai for review in order of priority. These documents were all messages requesting to take over as provincial governor, and they also contained various rhetoric and recommendations. It had been more than a day since these messages were sent
In two days, not once or twice, Yuan Shikai could recite who wanted what position.
The reason why I haven't decided yet is because I need to be fully prepared.
"Draft a draft on my behalf, authorizing Feng Guozhang to be appointed governor of Jiangsu, Li Chun to be governor of Jiangxi, Yang Shande to be promoted to the governor of Songhu Town, and Wang Zhanyuan to be governor of Hubei. As for Anhui and Hunan, please wait for a while. I still have many things to do further.
Only when you understand it can you make a decision." After reading five documents in one breath, Yuan Shikai said calmly.
"But the President and Vice President Li have been urging Tang Zhuxin to take office, and even said that he should take office first and then report it. Fortunately, Tang Zhuxin remained calm and did not follow Vice President Li's instructions. If this matter is delayed any longer,
I'm afraid that Vice President Li and Hunan will be unwilling to accept it." A secret official said worriedly.
"Humph, it's not his turn to have any say in this matter. If I say take it slow, I'll take it slow. Is it still difficult for him?" Yuan Shikai said somewhat sullenly. He knew full well that Tan Tingkai was forced to retreat by Tang Xiangming.
But firstly, Tang Xiangming is not from the Beiyang system, secondly, he is not qualified enough to serve as a governor, and thirdly, he is from Li Yuanhong. As an important province at the intersection of the north and the south, Hunan cannot tolerate any mistakes, so how can we not put in a capable person?
Where are the safe people?
The secretaries did not dare to say any more, and Zhang Yichen immediately submitted another telegram.
"Duan Xiangyan's side... that's all, let him retreat to Anqing and temporarily act as the Anhui Xuanfu envoy." Yuan Shikai said decisively.
"President, the Ni brothers are all looking forward to supervising the Anhui Province. By letting Mr. Duan serve as the Anhui Propaganda Ambassador, isn't it clear that you will not give any status to the Ni brothers?" stood aside.
Tian Wenlie said worriedly.
"This Ni Dapao just wants to sit back and enjoy the gains. Now that Hefei is in his hands, he can still stay as the military affairs committee officer. Duan Xiangyan is more confident than Er Ni. If the three of them are put together, who can
You can't suppress anyone, but you don't dare to offend anyone. It's just right." Yuan Shikai said calmly.
"But just in case..."
"There's no rush, we'll make arrangements for Ni Dapao when all the affairs are sorted out." Yuan Shikai said solemnly.
