"I have already thought about it during this period. I plan not to take up the post assigned by the Ministry of War. After all official duties in Luanzhou are handed over, I will formally submit my resignation to Beijing." Yuan Su
Speak your decision loudly and loudly.
This sentence immediately aroused the surprise of all civilian officials, and also caused some officers to frown. However, although Jiang Baili, Chen Wenian, He Qigong and others had some confusion on their faces, they did not behave like others.
The reaction was violent. Since Yuan Su sent a telegram to Fengtian to recall Jiang Baili before returning to Luanzhou, it can be seen that he had a certain countermeasure in mind, and the purpose was to discuss it with everyone.
Not only that, Chen Wennian and He Qigong were the first people to start their own business in Luanzhou with Yuan Su. Yuan Su's actions in the past few years have not shown his attachment to power, and he does not look like a person who gives in easily.
Taking a step back, a year ago Yuan Su might have had to "beg for mercy" from the Beiyang government and Yuan Shikai, walking on thin ice and not daring to make any big mistakes. But now Yuan Su is not only one of the founders of the Central Army, but also one of the founders of the Central Army.
The external image figure became even more famous after the First World War in Liaodong. Coupled with the increasingly mature economic and industrial connections in Luanzhou, Lianghuai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other regions, Yuan Su was provided with a large amount of materials, funds and bourgeois support. Not to mention
Yuan Su can now expand one corps and control a Central Army Division. Even if he continues to expand one, two corps, three or four divisions, it will not be a problem at all.[
To put it simply, Yuan Su is now strong-willed and does not necessarily have to be completely controlled by the Beiyang government.
"But you don't have to worry too much. I believe that my resignation is only a temporary matter. As the country is at ease, I will wait for the warriors to use their skills. But I believe that there is still a long way to go. I believe that sooner or later there will be a chance to make a comeback." Yuan Sudai.
He said with some emotion, his speaking gesture seemed to be both comforting and hinting.
Several senior bureaucrats present immediately realized some truth from these words, and even the more thoughtful ones could not help but sweat over these words. On the surface, Yuan Su saw things very quickly.
, and he also had certain ambitions and expectations in his heart, but because of this, it also positively demonstrated Yuan Su's dissatisfaction with this transfer order.
This is the first time in the past few years that Yuan Su has openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the central government. In other words, he is deliberately going against the central government, completely changing his past image of supporting the central government and strongly advocating centralization. This indirect reflection
The reason behind the sudden transfer order is very absurd and unreasonable.
For everyone present, as long as Yuan Su really has some suitable methods, they will naturally not fail to support and support him. The scary thing is that Yuan Su's method is not "inappropriate" and will make things more risky.
However, since Yuan Su did not continue to say anything more and just made some hints, no one could question him face to face without any knowledge.
Even Jiang Baili, Wang Litong, He Qigong and others did not rush to ask, because they knew very well that when Yuan Su needed to discuss this matter with him, he would definitely arrange a meeting alone instead of discussing it in front of so many people.
.
After a while, Yuan Su no longer made the atmosphere gloomy, but generously said some words of comfort, saying that as long as everyone could continue to stick to their responsibilities and do their part, he even borrowed
The occasion directly began to arrange the handover and aftermath work for the next one or two months. On the surface, we talked about the handover, but in fact, most of the content was still arranging the development of Suye Company and the next task plans of various government departments.
The development of the army, etc.
Judging from this aspect alone, even those who had not understood what Yuan Su was saying before could definitely see that Yuan Su had no intention of giving up his foundation just like this.
After talking about these words, Yuan Su asked everyone to go back first, and said that he would visit you individually in the near future. When the officials stood up to leave, he specifically told Jiang Baili, Wang Litong, He Qigong, Chen Wennian, Ge Jinzhang, Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Jishi
Others stayed, saying that there would be some arrangements for the military and local government.
After sending away the other idle people, those who remained were all core senior figures of the Luanzhou Group. Yuan Su invited everyone to a small conference room on the second floor of the office. After the tea was served, he ordered the orderlies to close the interior of the conference room.
, no more idlers are allowed in or out. This scene alone can already prove that this meeting is related to Yuan Su's future and the development direction of the Young Heroes Sect.
After sitting down, Yuan Su did not say any more nonsense or polite words, and said straight to the point: "My uncle's temperament changed drastically when he came to Beijing this time. This move really caught him off guard."
Chen Wennian was still a bit impatient. He had been holding back enough in the living room before. Now he quickly asked: "What on earth is going on? We have just made great contributions in Liaodong, and we have also decided to support the president in proclaiming the emperor."
, why did the president not only fail to provide good support, but also resorted to one trick to promote promotion but actually demote it?"
Ge Jinzhang nodded and agreed: "That is, even if the president has many scruples, now that major events are undecided, he can't worry about his great achievements and shaking the master. He is not afraid of gossip from outside. After all, Mr. Yuan is in the limelight, how can he say that he will give up military power?
Just give up the military power? Aren't you worried about losing Master Yuan as your right-hand man?" The net did not jump.
Yuan Su looked around at everyone present. In fact, he knew very well that during this period, due to the activities of Jiang Baili and Chen Wenian, most of the close relatives he relied on had accepted the imperial ideology. If he was a little dissatisfied, then
Only He Qigong is left. It has to be said that He Qigong is a true supporter of democratic politics. China has been a republic for five years, and it is really unreasonable that he is still planning to go against the grain.
Fortunately, Jiang Baili was very good at reading people. He first used letters, telegrams and phone calls to contact He Qigong. He quoted a set of Western constitutional monarchy and analyzed the actual situation of China's democratic political construction in the past five years, which was more or less persuaded.
He Qigong. At least He Qigong's opposition is no longer as strong as before.
After sighing slightly, Yuan Su said calmly: "I was always puzzled in the first few days, but on the way back to Luanzhou, I gradually felt a little relieved. Although I didn't know
Whether this is the case or not, it seems that the possibility is not small. We started from the 74th mark, and along the way we have had many bumps and bruises, and we have done a lot of good things. I believe this will always be in my uncle's heart.
It’s a lingering knot in my heart. In addition, during the battle with the Japanese in Liaodong, some of the battle plans went a little too far, and my uncle’s bottom line was finally breached.”
Chen Wennian said dissatisfied: "Even so, there is no need to be so ruthless. Wouldn't it be said that the Liaodong incident was finally resolved smoothly, and many honors and historical achievements were won back for the Beiyang government? Furthermore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the general will have the destiny of the foreign king'."
After all, battlefield decision-making is a test of adaptability, not rigid rules. Just such an excuse is really hard to convince people!"
Zhao Jishi, Ge Jinzhang, and Zhao Shanhe nodded in agreement, their faces showing great displeasure.
Yuan Su sighed again, and finally said: "This is just the surface of the problem. The real reason is that after my uncle became the emperor, he was afraid that I, the Yuan family clan, would make too great a statement.
As for threatening my eldest brother Yuan Keding’s succession to the throne.”[
This is what he came up with after many sleepless nights. Yuan Shikai was a conservative person after all. In history, many scholars believed that Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne had a lot to do with leaving a title to his eldest son Yuan Keding.
relationship.
For a long time, the Yuan Shikai family has been troubled by a bad rumor. Starting from Yuan Shikai's grandfather, only one male of the three generations of the Yuan family can live beyond the age of sixty. It is said that Yuan Shikai believed this rumor very much, and now he is fifty.
At the advanced age of seven years, according to this rumor, even if he can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor soon, the emperor can only reign for three years at most. It obviously does not make sense to risk the world's disapproval for the sake of being emperor for three years.
A good explanation can be derived from this, that is, Yuan Shikai attaches great importance to his descendants receiving honors.
If he continues to test, he naturally does not want the royal lineage of his descendants to be threatened in any way. After all, he has a lot of "time" to build this foundation but cannot maintain it, and his eldest son Yuan Keding is a mediocre person. So he must
