Sending laborers to the Taixi front, in addition to making money, is also part of the relationship with foreigners. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Hongxian terminated, the restoration of the union is only a means, not an end. The resumption of the work of the National Assembly does not mean that everything is on the right track, and the most important thing to keep the entire republic running is money.

Duan Zhiquan is known as the re-establishment of the Gonghe, not because of how much he has contributed to the Gonghe, but because he successfully negotiated loans with foreigners and paid two months' wages to the pillars of the Gonghe. Whoever has the money to give is the biggest hero, so don't say that he is a joint hero, say what kind of hero he is, everyone has no opinion.

According to the labor dispatch agreement signed with Albiang and Cape, each worker is paid 10 yuan per month according to the Shandong standard, and the food is taken care of by Albion and Qatar. But when the agreement with the workers is signed, the wage rate becomes five yuan per person per month, and another one yuan is deducted from the food expenses.

One out and one in, each worker can contribute six yuan per month to the Gonghe, and these breathing gold mines have become a major source of revenue for the government. Although the interests of individual workers have suffered huge losses, for the sake of the common cause, for the sake of the great goal, is it not natural for individuals to suffer some losses?

What's more, they can still get four silver dollars a month, and they still have an income. Duan Zhiquan believes that if this truth is spoken, there will be many people who will support him, so he will become more and more unscrupulous. Moreover, sending laborers to Albion can also explain his attitude towards the Tessie War and gain the favor of foreigners. The stronger Albion's favorability, the easier it will be to borrow foreign debts on his own.

In order to do a good job in the affairs of labor, Duan Zhiquan set up a labor bureau in Anhui, with Xu Youzheng as the general office. This organization is not responsible for negotiating with foreigners and fighting for the rights and interests of workers, but only for recruitment. For example, conflicts in recruitment, or the families of workers who ask for wages, have to be dealt with by this bureau.

Xu Youzheng was appointed to this position, which is actually a bit overkill, but there is no way to do it, Rao is the soul of the Duan family, and now he has to avoid the limelight.

More than 20,000 pigtailed soldiers finally caused a lot of trouble. Although he was paid once before leaving, the pigtailed soldiers leaned on the braids on their heads, listened to the play, sat in the car and played with women, never paid, and when did they suffer such a big crime. Not only did I not sit on the train, but I had to walk to Beijing by my legs. If it weren't for Jiang Yanbei, who relied on his old connections and found a security group along the way to escort him with guns, these pigtailed soldiers might have shouted and dispersed as bandits.

Even with troop escorts, the march of the pigtailed soldiers turned into a hike. Before Hebei, the team dispersed into several sections of earthworms, and even though Shandong sent another cavalry battalion to escort the formation, more than 2,000 pigtailed soldiers still fled. After entering Hebei, because the 3rd Division did not come fast enough to receive the troops, and the escort troops of the Lu army had withdrawn to the province, the last few thousand pigtailed soldiers in the whole team mutinied.

Although they were not equipped with guns, the destructive power of thousands of young men was still considerable. And they had orders from the War Department, and the local garrisons did not dare to intervene. By the time the horse team of the 3rd Division arrived, many of the pigtailed soldiers had already made a fortune and fled. On the side of the road at the entrance of the village, there are all male corpses, and the woman lifts her body to Qingchi, and she does not know how many people hang on the southeast branch.

It happened that Albiang reporter Rodley passed by and photographed these situations one by one and published them in The Times, which attracted great attention from foreigners. Li Huangpo personally signed an order to investigate the rebellious army to the end and never tolerate it, but before this order left the public mansion, it was recaptured and torn up by Xu Youzheng. Reprimanded in person

"The question of the armed forces, which is the purview of the War Department, is now a responsible cabinet system, and the president has no authority to make decisions for the War Department. Such illegal orders should not be issued. ”

No matter how good Li Huangpo's cultivation is, he is not lightly angry at this time, and he almost can't help but resign. But under the advice of the staff around him, he still woke up in time, and picking a wallet is indispensable. Choosing the governor first, and then the president, should have run out of luck, and now the anger is only to repay the debt, and choose to burn the resignation letter. But the Bodhisattva's anger had to be diverted somehow, and he finally revealed it to the reporters who often ran the news of the presidential office.

This reporter is also a strong soldier who fears that the world will not be chaotic, and he added fuel and vinegar to the news of the presidential palace to the newspapers, pointing directly to the rebellion in Hebei, and Xu Youzheng knows about it. This time, even if Xiao Xu wants to press the lid, he can't do it. Helplessly, he wanted to go through the motions, saying that he would punish the culprit. I don't want the pigtailed soldiers to understand Xu Youzheng's painstaking efforts, and after hearing the news, they mutinied again, triggering a new round of escape. In the end, the men and horses were checked, and because of the march and escape, nearly 6,000 soldiers were lost, and in terms of public opinion, Xu Youzheng was put on the cusp.

Originally, because of the matter of Xuzhou, the Overseer Army was worried that the Lu army wanted to sweep the sea and sweep the world. However, Zhang Da Braid lived in seclusion in Jinmen as a public apartment, not to mention the loss of private property, and Shandong also sent 600,000 yuan to Cheng Yi. In addition, Zhao Guanhou has a lot of influence in Jinmen, and with his care, Zhang Yuan's life is very comfortable.

Several secret envoys of the Overseers contacted Zhang Yuan privately, and received the reply that Xuzhou was made by Zhang Shaoshuai voluntarily, not by force, and that Shandong did not covet your territory. According to Zhang Yuan's original words, the marshal's family has thousands of mansions and thousands of acres of fertile land, which pieces of saline-alkali land can you and I look at?

With this guarantee, the Overseers' hearts were in their stomachs, and they immediately began to feel that Xu Youzheng's heart was punishable. The only thing an Overseer can do to blackmail the government is by force. Xu Youzheng pulled the pigtailed soldiers from Shandong to the capital, and dug up the corners of the wall from Shandong to pull people, this is not a show of carriages and horses, and it is difficult to work with himself to work in the city? If this momentum is not broken, what should I do if I concoct it in the future?

As public opinion dragged on, the Overseers began to speak. First of all, Zhao Guanhou said that the first thing is discipline for soldiers, and the Xuzhou troops are self-denying and serving public service in Shandong, so why will it become a catastrophe as soon as they enter Hebei? Why did the secretary of the general department shield the rebels? This matter is related to the honor of military personnel and must be investigated to the end.

He fired the first shot, and the firepower behind him naturally didn't worry about no one keeping up. Cao Zhongkun first asked for his resignation to thank the people. After being rejected by the government, he immediately expressed his willingness to select reliable cadres from the Third Division and form a reading investigation team to pursue the matter and never let a single rebel slip through the net. The cavalry regiment of the Third Division has already carried out a crackdown on deserters in Hebei Province, and has killed more than 200 deserters.

Fengtian Zhang Yuting, who had just received a large number of arms supported by Zhao Guanhou, had the upper hand in the confrontation with the 28th Division, and the power was particularly powerful. “…… My subordinates have 3,000 pixiu and 3,000 tigers, sweeping the southeast or insufficient, and punishing the rebellious army is more than enough. Yuting is not talented, and he is willing to mention the division of the first brigade and enter the customs to exterminate the bandits...... "It seems that he has forgotten his origins, and it is no better than the pigtail soldiers."

At the beginning of the establishment of the Overseer Legion, it was originally a monster used by the provinces to check and balance the main government, and Duan Zhiquan actually did not pay much attention to this rabble. In his opinion, this is just a group of clowns who jump beams, and it's okay to jump on the stage, but when it comes to singing the big axis, there is no place for them on the stage. never thought that a group of harlequins joined forces to exert their might, but it was difficult for the old students on the stage to parry.

The monster roared, showing its might. The Overseer's telegram was like a snowflake, to the delight of both the Commonwealth newspaper and the telegraph office. Except for Ni Jichong, the overseer of Anhui, all the other overseers began to condemn Zhengfu's actions and expressed their willingness to send troops to assist Zhengfu in capturing the rebels.

In most of these provinces, with the exception of Shandong, the discipline of soldiers is not necessarily much stronger than that of pigtailed soldiers. They don't really care about how the people of Hebei have been harmed and what losses they have suffered. All they want is to show off their martial arts and show off their muscles to the Zhengfu.

Since the revival of the Hong Yang army, the problem of the authority of the local governors has become more serious, and the overseers are most afraid of the government taking back power. The more troops the government has, the greater the pressure on the local government. Stirring up the new army of the Huangzheng Mansion and sabotaging the training plan is something that everyone is happy to see. If these pigtail soldiers are sent to the local area as supplementary soldiers, everyone is very welcome, and Duan Zhiquan wants to govern directly, then they are naturally the source of all evil, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people.

The biggest advantage of being in the field is that you can talk casually without taking responsibility. If the Overseers were to take their own positions, they might not be able to come up with a good solution for the pigtails. However, from the perspective of passers-by, it is possible to point fingers, criticize the negligence of the government, point out all kinds of improper disposal, and finally attribute it to the fact that the government is a waste, the Congress is all thieves, and the provincial self-control is good.

Although relying on Wang Shizhen's favor and face, plus promises such as repaying arrears to the provinces, he barely suppressed the storm of the overseers' protest against sending additional troops to catch thieves, but Duan Zhiquan was already quite struggling. Gonghe is not afraid of public opinion, nor is it afraid of public opinion, but it cannot be afraid of soldiers and foreigners.

A bunch of feather dusters and foreign devils all expressed their anger at Xiao Xu's cover-up, and the friends were surprised, the stakes were very high, and Duan Zhiquan had to behave. Of course, he couldn't admit that the whole thing was caused by his own soul, so he could only throw the pot on the bandits who pretended to be Beiyang soldiers to commit crimes. Xu Youzheng, on the other hand, needed to make a profound review because of his work attitude, and he was dismissed from the post of secretary general of the General Liaison Department.

With this turmoil, Xu Youzheng's proposal to take decisive measures while there were no soldiers in Shandong was also doomed to fail. He is conceited and learned, and he is not discouraged by this, he only needs three things, one power, two money, and three weapons. With these three things, he was sure that he would turn these 20,000 disarmed beggars into a strong army in the true sense of the word. With strong soldiers, the next step is to achieve power, and then next, those feather dusters have to be obedient and obedient.

But whether it was power or guns, Duan Zhiquan didn't have it. The purpose of his braided soldiers was to expand his force against the Third Division stationed in Baoding. However, it is very problematic what establishment to give to these units and under what name. The parliamentarians hated the pigtailed soldiers to the core, and besides, it was unreasonable to say that the government would expand its army against the backdrop of the fact that the public finances were in such a difficult situation, that the north and the south wanted peace, and that the army was being dismantled.

Only by fighting a war can the army be expanded. In the name of war, coupled with the big hat of the family and the country as an excuse, the parliamentarians can pass this plan. But who to hit?

The civil war must not be fought, otherwise foreign debts will not be borrowed, and it will not be able to be used internally, but only externally. Sending labor was only the first step, and the second step was to formally declare war on Prussia.

Anyone with brains knows that if the Communists declared war on Prussia, it was impossible to really send troops to the Taixi battlefield to die. But with this reason, it is possible to organize troops in the name of participating in the war, and the provincial overseers have no suitable reason to protest. There are people in the pool, and the source of soldiers is not a problem, the only problem is money.

As soon as he thought of money, Duan Zhiquan's head began to hurt. In the era of Yuan Weiting, a total of two lines were in the hands of Liang Caishen, although the two lines were state-owned, they were actually Yuan's treasury, and the money was withdrawn. Now that the two lines have been taken by Zhao Guanhou, even the revenue-generating department of the Ministry of Communications has been taken away, where can I get money?

He couldn't help but touch the white feathered hat on his head. Feather dusters are supposed to be used to clean up the garbage, but when these feather dusters themselves become part of the garbage, what should they rely on? Thinking about the up-and-down jump of the Overseer Army, and then thinking about the Provincial Overseers wanting to control themselves and engage in the face of a small kingdom, as well as Zhao Guanhou, the initiator of the establishment of this organization. Thinking about it again, now that even the government has to issue reckless bills to pay salaries, and the stores of Shandong people are opening more and more in the capital, and a total of two banks do not give any face to their withdrawal requirements, he can't help but say:

"Zhao Guanhou, Chen Lenghe, you wait for me! We're not done with this! ”
