"The crux of the matter now is the unity of our Beiyang system!"

In the living room of Duan Qirui Mansion in Fuxue Hutong, Beijing, several officers wearing gray uniforms of the Beiyang Army were sitting on the table discussing the current situation.

These officers were all Beiyang overseers, provincial governors, or their representatives who had come to Beijing to attend the meeting of the Overseers. There are Cao Kun, the overseer of Zhili, Zhang Huaizhi, the overseer of Shandong, Ni Sichong, the overseer of Anhui, Zhao Qi, the overseer of Henan, Cai Chengxun, the commander of Chahar, Wang Zhanyuan, the overseer of Hubei, Zhang Zuoxiang, the acting commander of the 27th Division of the Army, Chen Leshan, the acting commander of the 4th Division of the Army, plus the younger brother of Zhang Jingyao, the overseer and governor of Hunan who has now become the world's common opinion, Zhang Jingtang, the commander of the First Mixed Brigade of the Hunan Army. Everyone is of similar status, except for Zhang Jingtang, whose status is slightly lower, but he can be regarded as a figure who dominates one side. In addition, the characters of Beiyang Sanjie's generation were not present, so when everyone talked, they naturally had no scruples.

These people were summoned to Beijing by the ruling Beiyang Sanjie to hold a meeting of the Governor's Corps when the "May Upheaval" in Hunan was getting bigger and bigger, and when a wave of opposition against the Beiyang warlords was about to form throughout the country. The content to be discussed at this meeting is naturally related to the "May upheaval." Therefore, after chatting for a while, these people also turned the topic to the most critical situation in Hunan. Everyone is talking, and the voices are getting louder and louder.

Zhang Jingtang said loudly: "Several GCD parliamentarians have confessed, this incident is a conspiracy of GCD to divide our Beiyang, and the mastermind behind it is Mao ZD, a member of the Central Bureau of China and G, who led Changsha students against British friends a while ago!" Now there is human and material evidence. We should immediately order the banning of Zhong G, and the GCD head surnamed Mao is wanted! As long as you take him, the world will be peaceful! ”

He is Zhang Jingyao's dog-headed military advisor, and he calls himself "Little Zhuge ", but listening to what he said, several people in the room couldn't help but shake their heads. Chang Ruiqing, commander-in-chief of the Fujian Army and governor of the province, is the secretary of the Southern Bureau of the Central G. There is also that Lu Yongxiang's fast son-in-law, Chang Ruiqing's younger brother Chang Ruiyuan, is a member of the Central Bureau of the Central Committee of the Central Committee. With these two brothers, one of them is as safe as Mount Tai in Shanghai, and the wanted warrant of the Beiyang government can only bring humiliation on itself.

Zhang Jingtang said something. Seeing that no one responded, he simply picked out Chen Leshan on the side and asked: "Brother Leshan, you are representing Lu Zijia." Can you ban the GCD and arrest their leaders? ”

Chen Leshan came out of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and his thinking is relatively trendy, and their Fourth and Tenth Divisions are the most civilized and reasonable in the entire Beiyang system. Hearing Zhang Jingyao's vigorous shouting and killing, his brows couldn't help but twist up: "What are you grabbing?" Jiashuai's sons-in-law are all leaders of Zhongg...... Besides, it's not a sin for them to support Wu Ziyu as the overseer of Hunan! But you didn't have to say anything, and you rushed into the provincial council to arrest people...... W-What kind of thing is this? What is it? Beiyang's face is lost! ”

Cao Kun and Wu Peifu had the best relationship, although Wu Peifu repeatedly said that he did not know about the fact that the Central G and some Progressive Party legislators supported him as the overseer of Hunan. However, he was still accused by some people in the Beiyang Anhui family, and he naturally complained about his old brother. Now that he heard that Chen Leshan had a faint intention to help Wu Peifu speak, he patted his thigh and sighed: "Yes! Why can't people support Ziyu as an overseer? Could it be because he wasn't Duan Zhiquan's disciple? They are all members of the Beiyang group, isn't it the same who is the overseer? ”

Hearing that Cao Kun actually brought the topic to the contradiction between Zhiwan and Anhui, everyone did not answer. All of you here know that. Now Beiyang is facing an unprecedented crisis, only by uniting can we tide over the difficulties, if at this time we divide what is directly related to Anhui and fight their own people, then wait for the Northern Kuomintang and GCD's armies to break through! So everyone is deliberately avoiding these questions.

Hubei Overseer Wang Zhanyuan shook his head and said: "Let's talk about how to deal with the aftermath in Hunan, I don't think Wu Ziyu can be punished for this matter...... The reason why the Hunan people 'drove Zhang and embraced Wu' this time was because Wu Ziyu was strict in governing the army, and the officers and men of the Third Division did not commit any offence against the people of Hunan. Only then did he get the love of Hunan people. How can we in Beiyang punish a division commander because he is deeply loved by the people? ”

Wang Zhanyuan is one of the three governors of the Yangtze River, and he is the closest person of President Feng Guozhang. When he says such things now, it is obvious that Feng Guozhang meant! As soon as he said this, the faces of most of the Anhui people present were not very good-looking, and the scene was a little embarrassing. In the end, Zhang Huaizhi, the old Shandong overseer, came out to play a round, he said: "It is good for Wu Ziyu to love the people and win the hearts of the people, but Zhang Xunchen (Zhang Jingyao) is not bad, but he is a little more eager, but it is also for the sake of the interests of our Beiyang group." I think Wu Ziyu can't be punished, and Zhang Xunchen has to be protected! We in Beiyang must unite now.

I don't think it's so easy this time, I'm afraid I'm going to have to fight in the end! Only by winning the war can we have the future of Beiyang! So we can't mess up with it ourselves. ”

He turned his words to fighting a civil war, and a room full of Beiyang warlords suddenly became depressed. Most of them already have their own territory, and they live a comfortable life, who wants to fight with Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing in Guangdong and Fujian? If you win the battle, you will change places to be overseers, and if you can't win, you may even have to fold your old book into it!

Besides, if you want to fight, you can't do without salary, where is the money in Beiyang now?

……

At the same time, in the living room of Zhongnanhai Juren Hall, the four of Beiyang Sanjie and Xu Shuzheng gathered together, also discussing countermeasures to solve the current crisis.

"Is there any change between the Kuomintang and GCD?" Feng Guozhang asked Duan Qirui in a low voice. Duan Qirui shook his head slowly, his face was indescribably solemn.

Feng Guozhang turned his gaze to Xu Shuzheng again, and Xu Shuzheng smiled and said: "The Kuomintang and the GCD don't seem to be ready for war. Apart from a few verbal statements, there was no sign of preparation. Chang Ruiqing is still tossing his land reform. In the past two days, he has made overt and covert visits to villages in various parts of Fujian, but he has arrested several corrupt officials. Sun Yat-sen, on the other hand, was at odds with the leaders of the people's army in Guangdong, and he had to reorganize his ranks and not be able to come up with sufficient personnel and funds...... It made a group of people's army leaders very unhappy, and there were almost fights in several places! It seems that it is impossible to send troops to the Northern Expedition in the short term. ”

"What about the situation in Hunan? Did Tan Zu'an and Cheng Songyun's troops make any changes? Feng Guozhang asked again.

Xu Shuzheng frowned and replied, "President, the biggest crisis in Hunan is not Tan Zu'an and Cheng Songyun. But. It's the confrontation between Zhang Xunchen and Wu Ziyu! Now Zhang Xunchen is sure that Wu Ziyu is a GCD member! And also...... The confession of the Chinese parliamentarian is proof, and there is ......" Speaking of this, Xu Shuzheng suddenly swallowed and vomited.

Feng Guozhang waved his hand impatiently: "Again." Is there anything you can't say? Tell me, what else? ”

Xu Shuzheng seemed to grit his teeth and said loudly: "There are also people who confess that Wu Ziyu is Zuomin, the leader of the Red Brigade!" ”

Smack. Feng Guozhang's slap slammed on the coffee table, and he stood up suddenly: "Zhang Xunchen is messing around!" Did he frame him like this? I don't think this Hunan overseer can let him do it anymore, so let Wu Ziyu be it! ”

Duan Qirui heard this, and hurriedly matched the colors with Wang Shizhen. Wang Shizhen smiled and started the round: "Hua Fu is right, the Hunan overseer can't give Zhang Xunchen anymore, but it's not very suitable for Wu Ziyu, let's choose another virtuous." ”

Feng Guozhang snorted, sighed at Duan Qirui and said, "Zhiquan, I still say the same thing, the candidates for the Hunan overseers are arranged by you." But Zhang Xunchen must go down. Otherwise, our Beiyang brand will fall on him alone! And those GCD members of parliament must also be released, and the testimony of such torture can no longer be transmitted. Also, Wu Ziyu also has to make other arrangements...... After all, this time, the Hunan Provincial Council elected him as the Overseer! We must give the following explanation. In addition, the following military salaries cannot always be paid in three or four percent, and in this way, people's hearts will be scattered. What he said here is the Beiyang generals who led the troops below. It's not ordinary people or parliamentarians or anything.

Duan Qirui sighed: "Brother Huafu, you are the president, you should always know how much money the Ministry of Finance gives to the Ministry of War every month, right?" I, the Secretary of the Army, are now cooking without rice! ”

Feng Guozhang muttered softly: "If you join the army, you will have the money to pay the full salary?" Can the brothers below have no opinion? If that Wu Ziyu hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have beaten the idea of the Hunan Overseer! ”

Hearing this, Duan Qirui's nose was a little crooked again, and he said hatefully: "In the final analysis, this matter is for the Red Brigade." There are also Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing, who are making trouble! I think they must be in this group! ”

"Yes, it must be a gang!" Xu Shuzheng continued Duan Qirui's words and said, "In my opinion, we can't let those GCD councilors go...... The way out of our predicament lies in them! ”

Feng Guozhang was stunned and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Shuzheng's face slid a trace of iron blue, gritted his teeth and said: "We must get the testimony of Zuo Min is Sun Yat-sen from them!" ”

Hearing this, the muscles on the face of Beiyang Sanjie in the room suddenly twitched, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and he subconsciously wanted to shake his head. Xu Shuzheng quickly and anxiously continued: "...... In our China, it is still the largest foreign devil! And the person that foreign devils hate the most is undoubtedly this surnamed Zuo! It's just that this surnamed Zuo hides in the shadows and doesn't show his head, and the foreign devils can't find him, and even the grassroots elements of the Red Brigade who were arrested don't know who Zuo Min is...... But this also has an advantage, it gives us the opportunity to buckle the hat on Sun Yat-sen's head! ”

Wang Shizhen looked at Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui beside him, and saw that they all lowered their heads and did not speak, so he frowned and asked, "Someone has to believe it......

Xu Shuzheng showed a confident smile on his face: "Hiring an old man, of course some people believe it." Do you think, who did this Zuomin deal with in the first place? Isn't it the little emperor Puyi? He Sun Yat-sen started the revolution in Paiman, and the kidnapping of Pu Yi is the continuation of the Paiman revolution! And before the Red Brigade came out, his Sun Yat-sen was a lost dog, but after the Red Brigade came out, it was only a little more than a year now, and he had already controlled the entire Guangdong and raised tens of thousands of troops...... Isn't this because the 250,000 taels of gold are working?

Also, the Red Brigade has been doing those things lately. It's bomb dropping again, and it's assassination again...... Isn't it exactly what the League would oppose the Manchus back then? In addition, I don't know if you have noticed that the so-called anti-imperialists of this Red Brigade have offended both Russia and Britain! However, the interests of Japan and the United States were not touched...... Isn't this in line with their Kuomintang's pro-American and pro-Japanese nature? ”

"But what does this have to do with GCD?" Feng Guozhang frowned and shook his head slowly: "This time, Zhang Xunchen was arrested by the GCD councilors!" ”

Xu Shuzheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "The president doesn't know, he has carefully studied the information of the 51 GCD councilors. It was found that most of them had a background in the League or the Kuomintang! is that GCD chairman Chen Duxiu also has a background in the Alliance, and among their five members of the Central Bureau, except for Mao ZD and Chang Ruiyuan, because of their young age. didn't catch up with the full revolution, and the rest of Wang Yaqiao and Shao Piaoping were also members of the League, among which Wang Yaqiao was still a member of the famous revolutionary party and the Kuomintang!

Other words. This so-called GCD was actually controlled by Sun Yat-sen...... The claims of GCD and the Red Brigade are similar, and the connection is well known! With so many circumstantial evidences added together, plus a few parliamentarians with dual backgrounds of the Kuomintang and GCD came out as witnesses, this Zuo Min must be Sun Yat-sen! ”

"That's right! This Zuo Min is Sun Yat-sen, and Sun Yat-sen is Zuo Min! Xu Shuzheng's voice fell, and Duan Qirui slapped his face and laughed: "So let's attack the Kuomintang and GCD is to fight the Red Brigade!" Now the foreign devils should fully support us, right? With the support of foreign devils, are we still afraid that we will have no money? ”

Feng Guozhang still frowned: "What about the current north-south peace talks?" What about inter-provincial autonomy and peaceful reunification? That's it? ”

Xu Shuzheng replied with a sneer: "Of course we can't take the responsibility of sabotaging the peace talks...... It's better to do this, Hunan let Zhang Xunchen go into the field, and Wu Ziyu and the Third Division were also transferred. The Overseers gave ...... Do it for Granny Tan! At this time, Hunan people and public opinion across the country will definitely be satisfied. As for the arrested GCD parliamentarians, except for a few who are willing to testify that Sun Yat-sen is Zuomin. We're all released. Then hand over those parliamentarians who are willing to cooperate with us to an investigation team composed of the Ministry of Police and foreigners, and let them investigate, and ask Sun Yat-sen, the Kuomintang, and GCD to cooperate with the investigation! ”

Feng Guozhang was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”

Duan Qirui sneered and took the question: "What is the relationship between Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing and foreign devils now?" Let them check, and find out if there is nothing...... How many of them are clean when they engage in revolution and politics? How many can resist checking? Besides. Even if we can't stop the investigation, we can't let us and the people of foreign devils investigate, according to them, what kind of sovereignty issue is it, it is a legal issue! ”

"Makes sense, makes sense." Wang Shizhen couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Zhiquan is right, Sun Yat-sen's Protector Military Government can think of itself as the central government." How can we and foreigners be allowed to check on him? As long as he resists and doesn't let him check, he will be decided! As he said that, he stood up and said to Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui: "Huafu, Zhiquan, I will go to Dongjiaomin Lane to meet Minister Eston, and let the minister come forward to find out the truth with us!" ”

……

And just when Beiyang Sanjie was about to buckle Zuomin's big hat on Sun Yat-sen's head. The real Comrade Zuomin, that is, our Chang Da warlord, is in his study. Together with Chen Duxiu, chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party of China, who had just arrived in Fuzhou, he hesitated there in front of a copy of a telegram that had just been personally sent by Comrade Yue Fei, a representative of Soviet Russia.

This telegram was sent in the name of Lenin, and the main content was about the accession of China and G to the GC International and the command of the Red Army in Russia. Probably because of the rebellion of the Czechoslovak Corps in Siberia two days earlier (our warlords knew about this, of course, but did not tell the Russians out of respect for history), the nascent Soviet power was faced with a real and serious challenge, and they urgently needed to master the Red Army that was fighting like a good fight...... By the way, in the past few months, the Red Army aiding Russia has not been idle, but has helped the Soviet government to fight in the east and west, extinguishing counter-revolutionary rebellions in many places, and their size has increased from more than 10,000 to 30,000! It has become a significant military force.

Therefore, Comrade Lenin, while asking in the most sincere tone for the complete transfer of the Red Army to Russia, raised the offer of "aid" from 10 tons of gold to 15 tons of gold!

Oh, these 15 tons of gold to be "bought" in addition to aiding the Russian Red Army, as well as the entry of China and G into the GC International, and the launch of a riot in Northeast China to sabotage the Eastern Railway in order to disrupt the rear of the remnants of Tsarist Russia.

This 15 tons of gold is certainly a huge fortune! However, Comrade Chen Duxiu and Chang Ruiqing were originally unwilling to let China and G be under the influence of the GC International because of this gold, nor were they willing to let the powerful Red Army aiding Russia be controlled by the Soviet Russian side -- this army will have to return to China after the end of the Soviet-Russian civil war in the future, and it will be a big trouble at that time!

At present, however, another huge crisis has been placed in front of the Kuomintang and the Central G, that is, the top-secret information sent by the Japanese adviser Okamura Ninji that the Beiyang side is about to use the participating troops to attack Guangdong.

It seems that the military expenditure of 15 tons of gold has become the key to defeating the Beiyang participating army.

Fastest update, please.
