Volume 3: Thousands of Eternal Magic Chapter 245: After the fishing waters, Xu Shuzheng and Sun Hongyi had a big fight, Duan Qirui ran to Li Yuanhong to talk about the dispute between Sun Xu. Li Yuanhong favored Sun Hongyi (of course he favored Sun Hongyi). Duan Qirui was so angry that he said: "Xu Shuzheng is just a member of the State Council. In fact, what is the difficulty of the president trying to dismiss Xu Shuzheng? Why bother to find excuses? Just dismiss me Duan Qirui, as long as you have a command. I will write my resignation statement now and will not be the prime minister. This is probably everyone will be satisfied."

The conflict between the Presidential Office and the State Council broke out and was resolved by multiple parties. Although the dispute ended with Sun Hongyi and Xu Shuzheng's dismissal, the grudges between the two sides became deeper and deeper.

Duan Qirui's soldiers started their career and rely on nothing more than the support of his subordinates. The reason why he and the Presidential Palace were so threatening that he had resigned was nothing more than that the governors of the northern provinces only listened to him. Duan Qirui then generated a power and asked his subordinates to form a supervisory army to force the president to palace. This supervisory army meeting was held in Xuzhou, which catered to Duan Qirui's shared ownership of Shandong, Fengtian, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, and Jiang.

There are thirteen generals in Xi, Chahar, Suiyuan and Rehe. However, the first issue made Niu Delu, the representative of Heilongjiang, very embarrassed, because the first issue was to refuse Tang Shaoyi as the head of diplomacy. Duan Qirui was worthy of being a good at destroying bridges across the river. He had just used Tang Shaoyi, but saw that Tang Shaoyi's dissuasion was useless, so Tang Shaoyi refused to take the tone and did not even go to Beijing, and took the train back to Shanghai from Tianjin.

Niu Delu received the instructions of Wang Maoru and stopped Tang Shaoyi at Xuzhou Station. He respectfully said, "Prime Minister, the Supervisor has requested you." Then he took out a telegram. It turned out that Wang Maoru asked him to be the governor of Heilongjiang to benefit the people of the province.

The governor of Heilongjiang is now Bi Guifang. But Bi Guifang is not in the same way as him after all, Wang Maoru hopes that Tang Shaoyi will go north. Tang Shaoyi said, "Isn't I just going to be a puppet?" He had two obstacles in his heart. One was that Wang Maoru originally supported the imperial system, and the other was that the little girl Tang Baoqi was involved. Niu Delu pestered her and told others that they asked them to ask Zhang Xun, the chairman of the army, and Duan Qirui, and followed Tang Shaoyi to Shanghai. In Shanghai, Niu Delu tried hard every day, and finally Tang Shaoyi agreed to come out of the mountain and follow Niu Delu to Heilongjiang to serve as the governor of the Heilongjiang Association.

Zhang Xun and others were so angry after learning the news. Wang Maoru was too angry to use bean bags as dry food. Our thirteen generals held a meeting and had just expelled Tang Shaoyi. You asked someone to go there. What does this mean? However, Niu Delu returned after sending Tang Shaoyi away and quickly apologized and said that public is public and private is private. Everything is cut in half. Mr. Tang was originally from the Tongmenghui in public and now sympathizes with the people of the Democratic Party, but he has another identity in private. Wang Maoru's expectation of Tang Shaoyi as the head of diplomacy. This time, the governor of the thirteen provinces refused Tang Shaoyi as the chief of diplomacy and had offended the old man. Mr. Wang asked the old man to go north to apologize in private, and had nothing to do with everyone's affairs. Everyone let it go, otherwise they would be investigated.

Xu Shuzheng sneered, and he didn't even say anything when he saw Niu Delu. Moreover, Niu Delu was the secretary for him, but now he has become the representative of the governor of Wang Maoru. How can he not be angry when he watches him? In just three years, he turned over and serfs as the master and sang. Xu Shuzheng saw that his nose was not his nose, eyes were not his eyes. Niu Delu knew his purpose here, and he was tempted by fishing in troubled waters. He must not offend the boss of the Anhui clan, so he didn't care much about Xu Shuzheng's arrogance.

Zhang Xun was very happy to be elected as the chairman of the Governor's Army. He held a banquet for three days, and married a 14-year-old concubine, and let the people of Xuzhou celebrate the seven days... All the money was for the people themselves, so they should celebrate the Spring Festival in advance. Zhang Xun's military discipline was not good at first, and he disturbed the people in Xuzhou a lot. The people could only swallow their anger and shouted congratulations to the Governor's Army Commander.

The dispute between the government and the court just stopped under the comfort of many bigwigs in Beiyang, and Xu Shuzheng encouraged Duan Qirui to propose another proposal to declare war on Germany.

It turned out that Prime Minister Duan Qirui saw the benefits of participating in World War I and wanted to strengthen the army and country, so he insisted that China participate in World War I and declared war on Germany. Although Germany invaded Qingdao, China, after the late Qing Dynasty, China used the German army as a template to train new soldiers, so many people still had some sense of love for Germany. Think about it, Qingdao occupied by the Germans was occupied by the Japanese, and Germany was far away in Europe, so what was the fun we were doing? Therefore, the faction led by President Li Yuanhong did not support the declaration of war on Germany. The two factions then started to make a fuss about whether to declare war on Germany. Niu Delu, the representative of Heilongjiang Province, received instructions from Wang Maoru, saying that Heilongjiang not only wanted to support Duan Qirui's claim to declare war on Germany, but also prepared to prepare the participating troops to go to Europe to participate in the war.

Wang Maoru sent troops to Europe to participate in the war? Is he crazy or are we crazy? It’s all a fantasy?

Duan Qirui was not a fool, and the other supervisors were not a fool. He immediately shouted that Wang Maoru was not kind and organized the war army, just to take the opportunity to expand the army. Duan Qirui declared war on Germany in two ways. One was that declared war in diplomacy could abolish the unequal treaty with Germany and Austria. Britain and France were working hard to win more countries into the alliance to strengthen their momentum. Duan Qirui hoped that Britain and the United States would make concessions to China on issues such as amendment of the treaty and foreign debt.

At the same time, the Beiyang government is financially struggling, Europe and the United States are busy with war, and China can only survive large loans from Japan. Japan supports China to join the Allied Powers, hoping to consolidate its influence in Shandong, Manchuria and China in the fields of military training, police, mining, etc. Second, in terms of internal affairs, declaring war can obtain Japanese loans. Xu Shuzheng can train the war-sponsored troops to strengthen the forces of the Anhui clique, form an advantage over the Zhili and Fengtian cliques, and accumulate strength for the unification of the south.

Therefore, Duan Qirui would definitely not accept Wang Maoru's request for participation in the war, but the generals ended up with whether to support the war. Xu Shuzheng had to visit them one by one. It would be fine if it was the chief of the Anhui Army, but Xu Shuzheng would find it difficult to open the direct and other factions... Thirteen generals, and finally Xu Shuzheng found that only one Wang Maoru, who was in the extreme north, was yelling to join the war every day to send troops to Europe to participate in the war, while the others just watched coldly.

In order to win over the generals, Duan Qirui promised to tell them that China's participation in the war is only one or more, and it is nothing more than sending workers to Europe to do work for the British and French coalition forces, and will not send your troops to send troops.

A representative from Jilin, Yu Guifang, said: "Since General Shangwu wants to lead troops to Europe, why don't he allow him to go? We will allow him to bring glory to the country. For thousands of years, the Chinese people have never gone abroad to fight. General Shangwu, the god of war in the north, has made a great contribution to the world." Yu Guifang represented Jilin Governor Meng Enyuan. Their meaning was very obvious, that is, since Wang Maoru was going to join the war in Europe, we would let him go, leave quickly, send him to Europe, and let him taste the European cannon. It is best not to redeem the military in the north. If Wang Maoru led his troops to Europe, Meng Enyuan would be much less pressure. Other governors also demanded that Wang Maoru be allowed to lead troops to Europe to participate in the war.

After Duan Qirui discussed with Xu Shuzheng and Anhui aides, he believed that due to the situation, other people were hesitant and hesitant, and if Wang Maoru had a good start, it would be difficult for others to agree, so he allowed him to train the forces of three army divisions in private.

Xu Shuzheng's abacus is, don't you want to participate in the war? Okay, I'll give you the organization of three army divisions. The organization of three divisions depends on whether you can eat them. I can't stand you. Nowadays, each province raises its own military expenses, and the organization of three army divisions requires 400,000 oceans per year for one army division, and the annual military expenses of one army division cost 400,000 oceans, and the annual military expenses of one army division cost 400,000 oceans. If the armed forces are better, the total annual fee of one army division costs 1.2 million oceans.

Three Army deputies will lose 3.6 million oceans in a year. This is just a basic consumption. If it is a war, the opening fee, the settlement fee, the pension, and the vehicle and ship fee, it will cost 4 million to 5 million oceans a year.

Aren’t you Wang Maoru very rich? Don’t you have a bank? You can support the army as much as you have, and see if the army will make you poor. Xu Shuzheng analyzed it very well and determined that Wang Maoru would definitely not be able to support three army advisors and ten brigades under him. When his finances collapsed, the central government took back the control of the army in Heilongjiang in one fell swoop and let him step down.

Unexpectedly, Wang Maoru was very happy after receiving the appointment, so he took the opportunity to propose to the convener of the Supervisor, Premier Duan Qirui, to expand three more army divisions. He planned to train six army divisions to participate in the war, and gave Duan Qirui enough face, took back the request of the name of the border defense army, and changed his soldiers from ten border defense brigades to the first to tenth brigades of the Heilongjiang Provincial Army.

After receiving the telegram of this request, Xu Shuzheng and Duan Qirui looked at each other and laughed. Xu Shuzheng sneered: "This man is really ignorant of life and death. Six Army advisors? He actually wants to practice six Army advisors. He, Heilongjiang Province, actually wants to practice six Army advisors. It is really a big deal. I checked his Huaxing Group through people. The annual income is only 600,000 oceans, and the annual income of the Chinese Bank is only 3 million oceans, but the six Army advisors need 7 million oceans. What should he use to train troops?" He also said: "Don't he admire President Yuan very much? Do you want to imitate President Yuan's training station to establish the six towns of Beiyang? But that is the financial supply of the entire Shandong and Fengtian provinces of Zhili and Shandong. How can he provide the supply of Heilongjiang Province?"

Duan Qirui also thought that the blind expansion of the army was too ridiculous. Could it be that Wang Maoru had to redeem his military force, which made the people of Heilongjiang Province suffer from misery? He wanted to stop Wang Maoru, but Xu Shuzheng waved his hand and suggested: "Prime Minister, the more Wang Maoru is like this, the more we should support it."

"What is?" Duan Qirui asked. (To be continued.!~!
