Chapter 159: The Chinese National Independence Party

The impact of the New Běi Jīng Treaty was beyond everyone's expectations, and various forces expressed dissatisfaction with the Republic of China and criticized Li Yuanhong's behavior of failing to safeguard national sovereignty. Even a dark cháo of the fallen Li is also under the operation of "certain forces", and there are signs of it.

Rumors unfavorable to the Northeast in the South are also spreading. For this, of course, Feng Yong will not sit idly by. Soon the Governor of the Northeast issued a national telegram: "The Northeast resolutely opposes the Treaty of New Běi Jīng signed by the Republic of China. It is not clear who is who in the battle of the Northeast, and it is not the duty of the Republic of China to compromise with Rì himself. For the unscrupulous merchants of the Northeast zhèng fǔ captive, the Northeast zhèng fǔ will deport them one by one. According to the policy of the Northeast Governor's Office, all the land resources in the Northeast are under the ownership of the Northeast, and the mining companies of various countries in the Northeast are requested to withdraw from the Northeast in the shortest possible time! Otherwise, Tohoku does not guarantee that it will not take the same measures as it did with Rì himself. ”

The electrification of the Tohoku Governor's Palace was as tough as ever, causing a huge wave in the country. Especially in the northeast, the big capitalist countries with interests could not sit still. Although Europe is mired in war, as an old capitalist country, it will not easily give up the fat that it has eaten. The ambassadors of Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries immediately sent a telegram of inquiry to the Republic of China, asking whether the declaration of the Northeast also represented the attitude of the Republic of China. From the rì peace talks, they also saw that the toughness of the northeast zhèng fǔ and the weakness of zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ. These columns were like cats that smelled fishy, and they came up one after another, and the Republic of China zhèng fǔ represented by Li Yuanhong gave an explanation.

After several electrifications with the Northeast, the Northeast did not compromise at all, leaving Li Yuanhong in a dilemma, and finally Li Yuanhong gritted his teeth and decided to put aside the relationship between himself and the Northeast. Although the Northeast is strong, it is too tough, and if the Northeast can continue to win in the future, it will be nothing, and if the Northeast suffers heavy losses, it may even cause a mass attack. Li Yuanhong didn't want to be tied to the big ship of the Northeast Governor's Palace. After all, in the eyes of these conservative officialdom veterans, the Northeast is full of enemies, and it is very likely that they will die early. The actions of the Viceroyalty of the Northeast offended almost all the European powers. If it weren't for the fact that the First World War involved the power of the great powers, I am afraid that they would have already sent a joint force to deter the Northeast by force. After all, the European powers, which were accustomed to being tough, looked down on the Republic of China, which was secretly surging inside.

"All remarks in the Northeast are determined by the Northeast at its own discretion and are not authorized by the Republic of China, and the Republic of China is not responsible for the remarks and actions of the Northeast." Li Yuanhong knew through the battle of the Northeast that he was carrying the black pot for the Northeast! This is also caused by his desire to win over the Northeast. But the troublemakers got away with it, and even took advantage of this incident to earn countless good reputations. This made President Leba, whose status was gradually becoming shaky, unbearable. If it weren't for the loss in the Northeast, I'm afraid President Li Da would have gone crazy a long time ago. Li Yuanhong decided to take advantage of this opportunity to completely draw a clear line between the presidential palace and the northeast, although it is possible to lose a strong reinforcement, but as long as the northeast does not move closer to Duan Qirui, President Li Da will not have any big losses.

The response of the presidential palace was beyond everyone's expectations. The ambassadors of Britain, France and other countries who originally wanted to put pressure on the Republic of China could only retreat helplessly. To put pressure on the Northeast Governor's Palace? I'm afraid that people don't even bird themselves at all. The ambassadors of these powers to China, that one is not jīng and monkey-like. It's definitely not going to be boring. For a military strongman like Feng Yong, as long as he determines his own development method, he will not change it easily. And the attitude of the Northeast is to be tough to the end. None of the armies that had taken advantage of the Northeast had taken advantage of it, let alone the British and French powers in the Far East, whose forces had almost been emptied. Russia, which maintained a certain level of strength in the Far East, was unable to take excessively tough measures against the Northeast in consideration of a war on both sides. The United States, another powerful country, did not overcharge in the Northeast, and it really couldn't afford to offend the local powerful faction of the Republic of China for such a thing.

In the face of the reaction of the presidential palace, the northeast was not affected, after the governor's palace spilled a large amount of silver, a steady stream of young and strong laborers entered the northeast through various channels, among which the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong, and Henan were the most. According to the statistics of the newly established Ministry of Human Resources of the Northeast Governor's Office, in just half a month, no less than 500,000 laborers entered the Northeast, plus the population attracted to the Northeast because of the Northeast immigration policy. In this half month, the population of Northeast China has increased by more than 1 million. At this rate, by the end of 1916, the population of the entire Northeast would probably exceed 25 million and really approach the 30 million mark. Of course, the Northeast is happy to see this situation, and an adequate population indicates an abundant labor force, which is really important for the development of the Northeast. In addition, because of the situation in the Kannai, the cost of recruiting laborers in the Kannai is very low, and in many places, it is even possible to recruit a large number of young and strong laborers just by taking care of the food. At present, China has not fallen into the warlord melee, and the warlords have not been able to expand their troops everywhere. Therefore, the motivation of the people to be young and strong is still quite sufficient. Moreover, the concept of having more children and more than one in the folk feudal ideology makes the folk fertility rate extremely high. Families with more than a dozen children abound, but they are definitely not unusual. With such a huge population, they can't eat enough to rely on a small amount of land, and they can't survive at all if they don't go out to earn a living. In addition, with the establishment of the Republic of China, the mind began to be emancipated, and going out to make a living was gradually widely accepted by people.

"Young Marshal, it seems that the Presidential Palace has given up on wooing us. The failure of the negotiation with Rì himself has put the presidential palace on the cusp of the storm, and President Li's original ruling image has been dealt a heavy blow, and President Li Da has paid so much, but our Northeast has not been close to the slightest performance, and even offended more and more forces, President Li Da is already impatient. I'm afraid that if it's too late, we'll cause them a lot of trouble. Li Jun said with a smile. At the beginning, the Northeast zhèng fǔ did not want to integrate into the Republic of China zhèng fǔ. Therefore, President Lebanon's efforts to win over the Northeast are doomed to be fruitless.

"It's nothing, this is not necessarily a bad thing for us, with the current strength of our Northeast Security Army, the Republic of China can no longer be suppressed, but we will not stop advancing. In the future, such a thing may still happen, and even the Northeast is really likely to start a full-scale war with foreign powers, and the Republic of China, which is completely unprepared at that time, will definitely not support us. It's good not to fall into the ground. And if we drag the Republic of China into a big war, it will even lead to the collapse of the rule of the Republic of China. Let the warlord melee appear early. At this stage, a unified Republic of China is more beneficial to us. Feng Yong now admires Li Yuanhong's courage, you must know that the Northeast Security Army is subordinate to the Beiyang Army system, although the current sphere of influence is in the Northeast, but with the record of being able to resist Rì himself, the Beiyang Army Jīng Rui does not dare to underestimate the Northeast Security Army. If the Northeast Public Security Army really intervenes in the Republic of China, it will be a huge force that will influence the decision-making of the Republic of China.

Li Jun nodded, and then asked the purpose of his visit this time: "Young marshal, how is the plan to go west to Mongolia?" Although the plan to go west to Mongolia was formulated by him and Feng Yong. Later, Feng Delin and Jiang Baili participated. However, because Li Jun was in charge of the work of zhèng fǔ, the specific implementation of this plan was carried out by Feng Yong and Jiang Baili.

"The weapons and ammunition of the Zhang Xiaoshan Division of the Western Military Region have been basically prepared, and the training of soldiers is relatively mature, and they can start a big war at any time. However, the Cao Zheng Department of the Northwest Military Region has not yet completed the unification of the weapons of the troops. At present, in the Northwest Military District, the soldiers do not have uniform weapons models, and the logistics are disordered. According to my eldest brother and I, it will take at least half a month to start the plan to go west to Mongolia. So I set my plan for launching a westward march into Mongolia on July 15. Be prepared for this zhèng fǔ aspect. Feng Yong was serious. You must know that the plan to move west into Mongolia was formulated a few months ago, and it was the most crucial step for the Northeast to truly become a force that could dú lì. For this reason, the Western Military Region, the most powerful of the Northeast Public Security Army, has been accumulating strength, and even if Rì himself pressed the territory on a large scale, Feng Yong did not use the strength of the Western Military Region.

At present, the Western Military Region includes two full-strength infantry divisions, the First Division and the Sixth Division, and two cavalry divisions with a size of 10,000 people, with a total strength of more than 80,000 troops. When fighting against the Siberian Tigers, the 1st Brigade at that time showed strong combat effectiveness. The current cavalry division of 20,000 men is the trophy of war after the Western War at that time. The Western Military Region is also the most powerful cavalry force in the entire Northeast Security Army.

"The Northwest Military Region is a newly established unit and has not experienced any decent major wars, so will there be a problem for them to rush into the vast prairie?" Li Jun said with some concern. The current Northwest Military Region was established with Cao Zheng's Fifth Division as the main force. At present, the entire Western Military Region has five divisions and ten divisions under its jurisdiction, of which five divisions are infantry divisions, and the tenth division is a newly established infantry and cavalry mixed division. The total strength of the entire Northwest Military Region has reached more than 50,000 people. The Northwest Military Region can be said to have the smallest combat experience among the eight military regions of the Northeast Public Security Army. The weakest combat unit.

"It was because of their lack of experience in the Great War that they were put on it. Only on the battlefield of life and death can the troops mature quickly, and it is impossible to train steely troops just by relying on training. Feng Yong said a little coldly.

Li Jun is not a kind person of a woman, and he said this only because he was worried that the Western Military Region would not be able to reach that level.

"At this time, let's establish a political party. In this young marshal's vision, the political party we want to establish cannot be joined by anyone. It must be completely loyal to us, and only cohesive people can join. The members are not much more expensive. Feng Yongke was well aware of an important reason for the failure of the Xinhai Revolution, in addition to the weakness of the capitalist parties represented by the Kuomintang itself, the loose structure of the Kuomintang and the complicated background of its internal members, which greatly weakened the strength of the Kuomintang. This is also why in the early years of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang spread all over the provinces of the country, and after the victory in Wuchang, there were more than a dozen provinces in Dú Lì, but the Kuomintang headquarters had little control over the provinces of Dú Lì, which led to countless revolutionaries throwing their heads and spilling blood in exchange for the revolutionary fruits gradually taken by the feudal bureaucrats. In the end, after Yuan Shikai, the largest feudal bureaucrat with real power, came to power, the Kuomintang had no choice but to hand over the power in exchange for the unification of the whole country.

In the original time and space, Sun Wen also realized this, so he reorganized the Kuomintang, but unfortunately because of Sun Wen's own ability problems, the Kuomintang reform was not thorough, in order to obtain financial support, some businessmen and landlords in the Kuomintang in high positions, so that Sun Wen's efforts gradually went down the drain. With these Kuomintang veterans with impure motives, it is nothing more than the fact that after the battle of the Northern Expedition, the nationals who completed the reunification of the country decayed at an extremely rapid rate. Eventually swept into the dustbin of history.

"After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that the political party we want to establish is called the National Dúlì Party. The goal is to achieve the dú lì and strength of the Chinese nation. I am still working on the specific party constitution and list of these people to become the first members of the national dú lì party. "Feng Yong's staff team and the assassination headquarters are also sorting out the performance of officials in various ministries since the establishment of the Northeast Governor's Mansion. In Feng Yong's heart, this first batch of party members is the core patriarch of the entire national dú lì party. It is the instrument of its own domination of the entire power, and it must be loyal to itself. Even Li Jun, who was closest to him, didn't interfere in this thing, and Feng Yong did it himself.

"National dú lì party?" Li Jun carefully pondered the significance of Feng Yong's establishment of this political party. "Young marshal, in this way, many people outside will see the ambitions of our Northeast, and I am afraid that it will be easy to attract the resistance of the great powers."

"Humph! Even if we don't form a political party, they won't boycott as usual. Besides, as the three eastern provinces become more and more stable, even if the enemy is strong, he must think about it when he comes to deal with our northeast. Feng Yong now doesn't care about the opinions of the great powers, as long as he is strong, no one dares to say anything even if he meddles in the internal affairs of other countries. Although Feng Yong did not think about building the Northeast into a country like the United States, he must at least have the strength to defend national sovereignty.

Li Jun nodded, he knew that Feng Yong was just telling him to say hello now, not to listen to his opinion, as Feng Yong's closest partner, Li Jun knew what should be done and what should not be done. Even if he is Feng Yong's brother, the distinction between master and slave should be paid attention to.

"In addition, arrangements were made for the repatriation of the captured merchants in batches. Send back those who are useless first, and those engineers, as the last batch, must take the opportunity to squeeze their labor. I have heard that these technical captives are doing well, and are even willing to trade their labor for a richer material life, and I promise them. Let them go to technical schools to teach. Such a baby does not need to be in vain. Feng Yong thought of the news from the prisoner camp. Although Feng Yong's prisoner camp would not abuse prisoners, he didn't have to think about maintaining a good living condition. Not letting them be coolies is already Feng Yong's scruples rì本zhèng fǔ is completely mad, otherwise, with Feng Yong's hatred of rìben in later generations, although he will not slaughter the captives who cannot resist, the coolies will be decided. Rather, it is the coolie who does the hardest and most tiring work.
