Years of the Republic of China 1913

After the brief chaos at the beginning of the Republic of China, the country's infrastructure quickly became immature under the implementation of the new government. Although it can't be compared with decades later, at least under the influence of the rapid development of the telegraph network, the country's major The connection between cities was much stronger than that in the Qing Dynasty. ◎Smart children remember to update with super fast hands. ◎Zhang Zuolin's telegram arrived in Beijing in a short time, and it was placed in front of the heads of the central centers after only a few hours.

"Ri himself retreated?"

The big bosses in zhong yang were pleasantly surprised, and even Song Jiaoren showed a rare smile at the news.Being able to defeat others without fighting has always been the state most respected by the Chinese. Although Japan himself retreated this time in all likelihood because of Dashanyan, it is not a small victory after all, isn't it? ?Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China has lost again and again in wars with foreign countries. It has always only been for compensation and cession of land. What's more, this time the government is so tough on Japan under the great pressure of the pro-Japanese faction. If Japan really wants to Going back in such a despondent way, the Chinese zhefu was very happy, and the Ministry of National Defense even rewarded Zhang Zuolin on the front line as quickly as possible for his outstanding victory against the Japanese army in Fengtian.In order to boost morale, improve people's hearts, and strengthen Zheng Fu's prestige, some people in Zhong Yang even proposed to vigorously publicize this incident. Not only Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Wang Shizhen agreed with this, even Song Jiaoren also had this idea. Instruct the talents below to think about how to publicize this victory better.

"Is Ri himself so good at giving up?" Fang Zida's mansion was playing with the cigar in his hand.Fang Zida, who was sitting on the sofa, frowned slightly and asked to himself.

"If you don't leave, why don't you still stay in the south of Fengtian City and suffer from the cold?" Yang Du said with a smile, as Fang Zida's think tank, he was even more proud of his original choice when Yuan Shikai's time was short Although the current status is not too high, and he is only a deputy minister in the cabinet, Fang Zida, who is already full-fledged, is the figure that both Beiyang and KMT are striving for.It is not an exaggeration to say that he plays a pivotal role in China's political arena. He holds the national currency and financial power, and almost all military enterprises in the country are controlled by Fang Zida.In addition, there are the powerful military forces of the Eighth and No.15 two major armies. This is not counting the three new armies that Wu Peifu is training, in terms of overall strength.As far as the three Beiyang masters are concerned, none of them can compare with Fang Zida.

Not to mention that the three masters of Beiyang had many conflicts with each other, even if they joined forces, Fang Zida's power would not be at a disadvantage.There are two more important points. One is Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai, who knows that time is running out, is already thinking about his death. Fang Zida, as his son-in-law, is the only successor who can inherit Yuan Shikai's political wealth. The army group (formerly organized into the 31th, 32st, and 30nd armies, now No. 38th, 39th, and [-]th army groups) is also the strength guarantee that Yuan Shikai prepared for Fang Zida.Second, Fang Zida is also a director of kmt.He has a very good relationship with Song Jiaoren. In addition to the partial support of the Beiyang faction, Fang Zida is also backed by the KMT, the largest party in China, which adds to his weight in the political arena.

Yang Du can assert that once Yuan Shikai dies.Fang Zida will definitely go one step further and become one of the veritable central giants.China is now following the path of constitutionalism, and the cabinet responsibility system predestined that the actual power of the prime minister is far greater than that of the president as the head of state.Now the president is Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai is a strongman of Beiyang. In this case, although Song Jiaoren is the prime minister, he does not dare to act arbitrarily in many matters.Because Yuan Shikai, the head of state in name, is too powerful.But once Yuan Shikai passed away, Yang Du knew very well that the person who would continue to serve as president would never have Yuan Shikai's current status and influence.In this way, the current situation where the president and the prime minister stand side by side will turn into a situation where the prime minister is greater than the president.According to Yang Du's analysis, it is absolutely impossible for Song Jiaoren, as the current prime minister, to abandon the throne of prime minister and become president, and according to the constitution, Song Jiaoren's term of office as prime minister has not yet expired. Ren remained as prime minister, with Vice President Li Yuanhong taking over the presidency.

Li Yuanhong was nicknamed Li Bodhisattva, which shows his character. From a legal point of view, he was not picky about taking over as president after Yuan Shikai passed away. Push this Li Bodhisattva to the top position.Therefore, Yang Du pondered over and over for a long time, and felt that the most suitable for Fang Zida was to serve as the deputy prime minister and supervise the departments of finance, industry and commerce, post and telecommunications, and transportation. Coupled with the military power in Fang Zida's hands, he would definitely become under Song Jiaoren. No.1.

Yang Yongtai also had the same calculation as Yang Du. He was also Fang Zida's current think tank. He had already exchanged opinions with Yang Du in private and reached a consensus.Now, the two Yangs are working hard for this goal. They firmly believe that once Fang Zida takes office, they will also truly stand out in the Chinese political arena, instead of just making suggestions behind the scenes like they are now.

"Xizi thinks so? Brother Changqing, what do you think?" Seeing Yang Du's disapproving tone, Fang Zida turned to ask Yang Yongtai who was sitting on the other side.

"Actually, Brother Xizi's words are not unreasonable. It is normal to infer that Japan withdraws troops from common sense." Yang Yongtai echoed, but he also said: "But the military situation is dangerous, we still cannot relax our vigilance, no one is Japan himself The roundworm in the stomach, God knows what Ri himself planned."

As soon as Yang Yongtai finished speaking, Yang Du laughed beside him, pointed at Yang Yongtai and said with joy, "Changqing, Changqing, you're two-sided flattery! You're the only one who said good and bad things..."

"Hehe..." The old face blushed slightly, and Yang Yongtai said with some shame: "It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing... But to be honest, Yongtai has no research on military affairs, it's just a family's opinion, and it's all about what it thinks. "

Fang Zida did not laugh like Yang Du. On the contrary, he nodded slightly and said solemnly: "On the surface, it sounds like Changqing's words are a bit tricky, but it's not impossible to think deeply. Both of them are harmonious. I have dealt with many people for many years, and I have lived in Japan for a long time. Here, the personality of the Japanese cannot be deduced by common sense. impossible."

"Well, what Zhang Ming said seems to make sense. I have lived in Japan for a few years, but now I can't figure out how Ri's own brain was born." Yang Du thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. .

"That's true. In order to ensure everything is safe, Brother Xizi and Brother Changqing, I have to ask the two of you."

"You don't have to be so polite, it's okay to speak up if you have something to say." Yang Du and Yang Yongtai said at the same time.

"Brother Changqing, please continue to be in charge of liaison with the intelligence department. Zhou Yuanliang asked him to keep an eye on it. Once there is news from Japan, report it immediately." Fang Zida first said to Yang Yongtai, seeing Yang Yongtai nodding in response, he then turned to report to Yang Yongtai. His eyes turned to Yang Du: "As for Brother Xizi, I would like to trouble you to make a trip to Fengtian yourself. General Zhang Zuolin, please don't relax your guard just because the Japanese army is withdrawing, and be careful what tricks the Japanese play."

"This bag is on me." Yang Du agreed straight away. He and Zhang Zuolin had a few acquaintances in the early years, and the relationship was not bad, but he took the initiative to make a suggestion, hoping that Fang Zida should go to Xu Shichang first before going. Ask Xu Shichang to write a personal letter and bring it with him, so that he will be able to talk better when he sees Zhang Zuolin.

"No problem!" Fang Zida felt that Yang Du's suggestion was good, so he agreed without hesitation.

While Fang Zida was discussing with Yang Du and Yang Yongtai, the Japanese army in the south of Fengtian City was still withdrawing one after another.However, in three days, according to intelligence, nearly one brigade of the three divisions of the Japanese Army that was pressing on the southern front line of Fengtian had already retreated, and another brigade also showed signs of withdrawing troops. Withdraw one-third of the troops.Seeing more and more Japanese troops withdrawing, Zhang Zuolin felt happier. He gradually decided that the Japanese must be planning to return to their hometown, and this battle might not be fought.

Once he was happy, Zhang Zuolin gradually let go of his last trace of vigilance.These days, the nerves have been tense for so many days, and Zhang Zuolin, as the commander of the front line, is under more pressure than anyone else.On the fourth day, the front line came to report again, saying that nearly half of the other brigade in Japan was retreating, and good news came from Lushun, saying that a large number of transport ships from the Japanese Navy had arrived at the port, and some people even saw it with their own eyes When he saw the first batch of Japanese soldiers who withdrew were boarding the ship one after another, Zhang Zuolin was even more happy walking around the room, talking non-stop like "Damn it", dancing and dancing until his face turned into flowers flower.

Ichiro Fujita, who had been bumping on the sea for several days, vomited in the cabin until he almost lost his yellow bile, finally arrived in Lushun. When his feet stepped on the solid land, Ichiro Fujita, whose body could not help shaking, was excited Tears welled up in my eyes.It's not easy, it's really not easy!Finally, I can take a good rest.Sadly, he hadn't waited for a few sleeps on land. On the third day, Yusaku Uehara, acting commander-in-chief of the Japanese army and chief of the army's general staff, also came to Kanto Prefecture on a navy ship. After Yusaku Uehara arrived Immediately convened the generals of the army's divisions and brigades to hold a military meeting, and sent someone to notify Ichiro Fujita to board the ship immediately to fulfill the task of the liaison officer of both parties.

Gritting his teeth, he secretly greeted all the members of the [-]th-generation matrilineal family of Uehara Yusaku's ancestor several times. Fujita Ichiro climbed onto the warship again with his legs shaking and he hadn't recovered, but this time he was not the cruiser Kanto Maru, but the first cruiser. The flagship of the Second Fleet—the [-]-ton Zhoufang battleship. (To be continued..)
