Beijing.

After returning to Beijing, Li Yuanhong lived in the presidential palace again, and his family had moved out of the governor's palace before, and now they have moved back one after another. Although Feng Guozhang, vice president of the Beiyang government, sent a telegram to the whole country to abolish the identity of President Li Yuanhong, Li Yuanhong did not make a mistake, his body was not sick or injured, and he did not go to the field with electricity. According to the provisions of the Provisional Constitution of the Republic of China, Feng Guozhang, who is only vice president, is not qualified to remove him from the presidency. Therefore, there is no problem for Li Yuanhong to live in the Grand Presidential Palace.

"Fang Datong, the person in charge of Beijing, has seen the dean! I have received a telegram from Minister Jing Tong. Our secret assassination force in Beijing will fully assist the president in handling the affairs of Beijing. A fat man with an ordinary appearance and a simple and cute temperament on his whole body said. No one expected that this harmless guy turned out to be the person in charge of the Beijing Assassination Branch, which also responded to that sentence, people should not be disgraced.

"I need detailed information about the yamen of the various ministries during the Beiyang government in Beijing. Also, give me a detailed map of the city of Beijing. For the necessary things of these things, Li Jun, who has just arrived, can only ask Feng Yong for help. Although he has dealt with the affairs of difficult areas many times. Sensitive areas like the northwestern provinces were settled under his wrist and became organized. But the city of Beijing is markedly different from other places. From Feng Yong's actions, it is not difficult for Li Jun to see that Feng Yong wants to use Beijing as the capital. And seeing that Feng Yong let Li Yuanhong continue to be in charge of the presidential palace, the next step in the northeast must be to establish a central government. Feng Yong didn't pay attention to the Beiyang government established in Nanjing by Beiyang, after all, no matter how awesome Feng Guozhang was, he was only the acting president. And Li Yuanhong is the official president recognized by the Provisional Covenant. Even if everyone knows that Li Yuanhong is a puppet in Beijing, no one can deny his legitimacy. After all, although the Beijing government is called the Beiyang government, it is the Chinese revolutionary government, and it is the Beiyang government because the Beiyang power is in power. But no one stipulated that this government must be in the hands of Beiyang.

"Dean, President Li Yuanhong is here!" After all, he is the official president of the Republic of China, and no one dares to snub him.

"Please!" Li Jun said. But after thinking about it, he got up and went to greet him himself.

In the study, two people with a huge age difference sat looking at each other. Both of them are celebrities in the country, but in terms of reputation, Li Jun is far inferior to Li Yuanhong. But the status of the two is completely different. Li Yuanhong has only fame left, while Li Jun is a rising political star in the nascent system of Northeast China. At the same time, he was also a well-known military commander. It is not an exaggeration to call it an all-rounder.

"Dean Li, there is a talent like you in the Northeast, no wonder it can develop so rapidly!" Li Yuanhong has been looking at Li Jun since the moment he sat down. There was not the slightest hint of pompousness in this young man. The eyes are bright and sharp, and the temperament is calm and spicy. If it weren't for the vigor on his face telling people that he wasn't very old. I'm afraid everyone will think that he is a politician who has been up and down in the sea for many years!

"The president has won the prize! Today's achievements in the Northeast are all due to the young marshal. Although I myself have a slight ability, I don't deserve such praise from the president. On the contrary, it is the great president, the person who made the first contribution to the revolution, the great president of the Republic of China. A generation of romantic figures is worth learning from our generation. Li Jun said neither humbly nor arrogantly. Although President Li Da, who has no soldiers and no powers, is just a puppet in Beijing, no one can guarantee what kind of opportunities such a political tyrant will have in the future, even if he is only the spokesman for the establishment of the central government in the northeast in the future, his identity alone can attract people's attention.

"Dean Li, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, the old man came this time to ask how to settle the old man in the Northeast." Li Yuanhong said.

"President, your words are serious. You are the official president of the Republic of China, and I am only the president of the Northeast Executive Yuan, how can I place you, the president. I have telegraphed your situation, the young marshal. Because of the turmoil on the northeast border, the young marshal was unable to go south to Beijing in a short time. But the young marshal's father, the governor of the Northeast, Marshal Feng Delin, had already set out from Tianjin, and he would be able to reach it by tomorrow night at the latest. When the time comes, you can talk to Governor von Tak-lin about anything. Li Jun said with a smile.

"Feng Delin?" Li Yuanhong frowned. Of course he had heard of this little person in Beiyang. It's just that what really made Li Yuanhong remember Feng Delin was after he and Zhang Zuolin became the two major military giants in the Northeast. Of course, at that time, Feng Delin was the commander of the army in Fengtian Province, and he was only a middle and senior officer in Beiyang, while Li Yuanhong was the vice president of the Beiyang government, with a high and powerful position, and of course there would not be much intersection between the two sides.

"Dean Li, in fact, the purpose of your Northeast husband is also clear. From the moment the old man fled from Beijing, he was ready to be a puppet for the rest of his life. Now Beiyang Feng Guozhang has established a new government in Nanjing. If Beijing does not take action, the Nanjing Beiyang government will slowly gain the recognition of the world, and then the purpose of Feng Shaoshuai's war will be empty. Li Yuanhong said with a smile.

"President, the establishment of a central government is not something I can do. But I will telegraph the President's opinion to the Marshal. I believe that with the courage of the young marshal, there will definitely be clear instructions. Li Jun said.

"That's good, then the old man will wait for Dean Li's good news." Li Yuanhong nodded with satisfaction. Of course, he knew that it was impossible for Li Jun to make a decision without Feng Yong's words, and even Li Yuanhong was skeptical about whether Feng Delin, who was about to arrive in Beijing, had such decisiveness.

After Li Yuanhong left, Li Jun's face gradually became solemn.

"Li Yuanhong, what do you mean? How do I feel that he is more urgent than we are? In the cubicle of the study, a majestic figure walked out. The appearance is seven points similar to Feng Yong. He is Feng Yong's son, Feng Delin, who should have rushed to Beijing in Tianjin.

"Governor! Although I don't understand what Li Yuanhong means, judging from his performance just now, if we set up a central government, he will definitely support it. This saves us a lot of trouble. Li Jun said with a smile. It seems that he is not surprised by the appearance of Feng Delin.

"Chuanxin, looking at your appearance, has Yong'er already made up her mind about this kind of thing?" Feng Delin's eyes flashed and said.

"Yes, on my way to Beijing, the young marshal has already entrusted me with the task of forming a central government. It's just that I've just arrived in Beijing and need a familiar process. Although I have not finished reading the information in my hand, I also have a general understanding of the entire city of Beijing, and with the full cooperation of Li Yuanhong, I now have 80% confidence in the establishment of the central government. Li Jun said confidently. Don't think that the establishment of a central government is a simple matter, if Feng Guozhang had not taken hundreds of officials from Beijing, his Nanjing Beiyang government might not even be able to pull up a shelf. Although there is a government in the Northeast, the local government can never compare with the central government. After all, the two are no longer the same level. The resources available to the central government are not comparable to those of local governments. If it weren't for Beiyang's negligence in military affairs at that time, coupled with repeated defeats in the southwest battlefield, even if the Northeast was strong, I am afraid it would be difficult to have such a momentum.

"Now that we're sure, let's act quickly! O central government! I can't wait now! Feng Delin said excitedly.

January 16, 1917, the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar, is also a traditional Chinese year. It's an auspicious day.

First of all, Li Yuanhong, president of the Republic of China, who was staying in Beijing, issued a nationwide telegram, and at the same time, President Li Da carefully concocted the "Letter to the Compatriots of the Whole Country."

These two telegrams were transmitted throughout the country in the shortest possible time and reached the heads of state of the world or the hands of giant newspapers through various channels......

President Li Yuanhong announced in a telegram that the capital of China is Beijing, which cannot be changed. At the same time, Li Yuanhong's "Letter to the People" proves for the Beijing government, declaring that the Beijing government is the only legitimate central government in China.

Li Yuanhong's sudden movement was like dropping a super bomb in a calm lake. Turning the whole lake upside down. Regarding Li Yuanhong's telegram, all forces across the country collectively lost their voices. They really don't know how to deal with this central government, which already exists. Of course, many more people are looking at the Beiyang government in Nanjing, which has long declared itself the sole central government of China.

One country, two governments, in this era, is a joke, but it really happened.

Nanjing, Provisional Presidential Palace.

"President, it's time to come!" Wang Shizhen said with a calm face. Originally, he received a telegram from Duan Qirui to allocate a sum of money to their Beiyang government, and seeing Duan Qirui's compromise, Wang Shizhen was really happy. However, Li Yuanhong's sudden action in Beijing suddenly made the entire Beiyang government collectively lose its voice.

"It's nothing, we should have expected this situation when Li Yuanhong was captured by the Northeast. Brother Hire, we'll be busy in the future. In order for Beiyang not to be controlled by others, and to reduce the pressure on the Northeast at the minimum, we must not lose the name of central orthodoxy. Fortunately, we have been prepared for a long time, and we have prepared a lot of literati to cheer for us. In foreign influence, we are afraid that we are not as good as Beijing, but in the domestic form, other forces in the country may not want to see an incomparably powerful Northeast emerge, so the current form has not been eroded to the point of being unable to clean up. "Feng Guozhang is not an ordinary person after all. Sharp and spicy.
