Then, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, especially the warlike hearts of young officers, Wang Maoru promised to unify China within three years, and all troops would remain highly alert. If there was a transfer order, they could immediately rush from the northernmost province, Nurkan Province, to the most difficult province, Guangdong, to work overtime, and be sure to be sufficient. The staff of the General Staff must not relax and immediately simulate the formulation of a unified national plan, and what kind of response will our defense force take when invasions of Japan, Russia, Britain and France.

In the end, Jiang Fangzhen put forward a suggestion that if you want to compete for the army, you must first unify all military academies, and five military academies in the Northeast and seven military academies in the Central Plains may be unified. It is also recommended that it is best to seize the power of the Army Department, so that the National Defense Force can truly become the army of the country. The current National Defense Force only occupies the name of the central government. In the so-called Central Army, only Wang Maoru is the general commander of the army, and the National Defense Force is the army of the country.

After deciding the policy, Wang Maoru brought Yang Du and other aides back to Beijing Central from Changchun. It can be said that he is now on the leverage of the central government and he can intentionally leverage the direction of the central government. This immediately gave him a strange feeling, especially using means to reduce the vassal of Wu Peifu, which made him taste another kind of fun besides force, which is the fun brought by power struggle. But even though he tasted the fun of power, he did not get involved in the central government too deeply. As a prime minister and president, after all, his age and qualifications are not enough to sit in that position without being attacked. He needs a bull's eye, and putting Jin Yunpeng and Xu Shichang on the bull's eye is also his strategy. Wang Maoru used force to ensure that the weak Anhui faction will not fall apart, inhibiting the growth of local governments. He brought everyone back to the rules of the game, and he made the rules of the game. Let the game be controlled in his own hands.

As Wang Maoru stepped into the central government, he inevitably touched the national financial system. China's biggest problem was the problem of money bags, but Wang Maoru was unwilling to use his own money bag to fill the country's pit. The country's foreign debt was as numerous as a bull's. His successive governments only relied on demolition of the east wall to make up for the west wall to borrow and repay debts. Especially in the region north of the Yangtze River in Shandong and Zhili, the yen could replace the ocean. In order to avoid Japan's control of Chinese finance, Wang Maoru immediately ordered the control of Zhili and Shandong finance. But this touched the bottom line of the Anhui clique. The Ministry of Finance is the biggest bottom line of the Anhui clique, and the Anhui clique relies on the two pillars of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Transport.

Duan Qirui expressed support when Wang Maoru competed for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Education before, but he would never let go of the Ministry of Finance. Duan Qirui immediately found Jin Yunpeng. As Jin Yunpeng's teacher, Duan Qirui's thin face must be given a few points. Jin Yunpeng was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was his own teacher. On the other hand, the boss of the Anhui Department was the aggressiveness of Wang Maoru, the new political force.

An interesting thing happened at this stall. Wu Peifu, who was exempted from the two lakes inspection envoy, impeached An Fu, and impeached Duan Qirui to harm the country and the people, listing Duan Qirui's eight major crimes. They were the military redeeming military, greed for beauty, stubbornness, stiffness in mind, and inability to teach children... The most important thing. It is also the thing that made Wang Maoru laugh and cry. Wu Peifu threw out Duan Qirui's third concubine and fifth concubine because Duan Qirui was in Beijing for a long time and was no longer empty and lonely apartment in Tianjin. He was outside.

The farce of stealing people is not well managed. How can we govern the world? A cuckold at home will definitely cuckold the country in the future. For a moment, the voices of cuckold consultants were filled with the country. Duan Qirui was furious and was so angry that his nose was crooked again. He quickly ran back to Tianjin to check it out. It doesn’t matter if his third and fifth concubines really cuckolded her. The two were young and beautiful, and they often went to various social places. The lovers were full of scandals in Tianjin, but others dared not tell him clearly.

Duan Qirui fell ill in anger, and the Anhui faction lost its core, especially the members of Congress led by Wang Yitang, who were discussing what we should do in the future? However, House Speaker Wang Yitang seemed to be the number one figure, yelling that General Shangwu would dare to touch us. He needed us and had to beg us. Only Deputy House Speaker Liu Enge expressed concern, saying that this person played cards like a wild and we must be careful in everything and not predict the wall.

On the other side, Wang Maoru immediately went to the Prime Minister's Office and said to Jin Yunpeng: "Brother Yiqing, can the military expenditure problem be solved? If this money is not in our hands, it will not be able to solve the military expenditure in one day, and the military expenditure cannot be solved. When will the country be unified?"

Jin Yunpeng understood that he had something to say, and at the same time, the Prime Minister had to bow down to the head of the Finance Minister Li Sihao because of the problem of his money bag. However, the Anhui faction did have difficulties. Apart from making money on the railway, there was really nothing to make money. Even Liang Shiyi, the God of Wealth of the Old Transportation Department, could at most raise more funds from foreign countries. This was completely different from the direct control of large factories under the National Defense Forces. The state-owned factories in Beiyang were actually all lost money. Of course, the unstable political situation in Beiyang is also another reason for the continuous loss of money from large factories. No one knew how many years he worked, so naturally everyone was just concerned about getting money and making money. Wang Maoru meant to join forces with Jin Yunpeng to take action against the Anhui faction, and Jin Yunpeng was also happy to make a favor.

So Jin Yunpeng sighed: "Who is there any good candidate for Xiusheng?"

"I have a talented person, whose surname is Fang, whose name is Hongxin and whose courtesy name is Zicheng. He serves as the economic secretary-general of the five northeastern provinces. Now the rapid economic growth of the northeastern economy depends on this person's contribution." Wang Maoru smiled, "This person is from a business comprador and knows the best way to make money. Because he has an American background and has close contacts with American businessmen, Britain, France and the United States should support our country's propositions more."

Jin Yunpeng said: "The promotion is too fast and may cause criticism. How about being the deputy chief of finance first? And the candidate for the deputy chief is not allowed to agree to the parliament."

"It's good." Wang Maoru said happily.

Jin Yunpeng said again: "I reflect on myself and realize that the Chief of the Army and the Prime Minister are both unable to do so. You reform the National Defense Forces. If you are the Chief of the National Defense Forces, I will be willing to give way to you."

Jin Yunpeng's humility made Wang Maoru distracted, but at the same time he felt deeply uneasy. Now he was already showing his sharpness. If he really took over Jin Yunpeng's army headquarters, it would be a bit too silly. He thought for a while and said, "Don't be in a hurry at this time, Brother Yiqing can take more responsibility."

However, from the bottom of my heart, Wang Maoru is very eager to serve as the position of Chief of the Army. After all, the Deputy Chief of the Army is the Deputy Chief, so how can he sound good with the Chief of the Army?

After Wang Maoru and Jin Yunpeng reached a mutual support agreement, Jin Yunpeng immediately proposed to President Xu Shichang to remove Li Sihao, the Chief of Finance who could not boost the economy, and replaced him with Deputy Chief Pan Fu. Li Sihao served as Chief of Finance only because former Chief of Finance Gong Xinzhan and Jin Yunpeng had a tragic relationship. Therefore, Li Sihao was acting Chief of Finance from beginning to end, and had not officially served, nor did he need to pass the parliament. Xu Shichang accepted the proposal and removed Li Sihao, with Pan Fu as Acting Chief of Finance. Fang Hongxin, Secretary-General of the Finance of the Northeast Special Military Commission, was promoted to Deputy Chief of Finance of the Beiyang Government.

Pan Fu is a person who understands the rules. At the same time, he also knows his ability and the political situation at this time. His role as the Chief of Finance is just a cover and a ladder. He knows that he will be kicked down sooner or later. In order to prevent him from not having any way out in the future, Pan Fu immediately surrendered to Wang Maoru and ran to Wang Mao's bedside at Pu Beile's mansion overnight to express his loyalty, saying that he would cooperate with Fang Hongxin to carry out financial reforms. Fang Hongxin happened to be there. Seeing that he was so tactful, Wang Maoru invited him to eat hot pot and talk about economic affairs.

Mr. Pan didn't dare to say anything, but listened to the conversation between the three of them, including Wang Maoru, Zhang Hongyang, and Fang Hongxin. Seeing that he was silent, Wang Maoru said, "Brother Xinhang, you have been in the central government for a long time, and I wonder what you have to do with the current financial direction of the country?"

Pan Fu hurriedly said: "I am in the central government and have long heard of the ideals of Northeast finance and the prosperity of the people, but the central government's finances are in a mess. So what's the point of teaching? It should be my learning."

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Brother Xinhang, being too modest means being proud, you are too modest."

Pan Fu sighed and said, "To be honest, our country's finances are on the verge of bankruptcy. If it weren't for the support of customs in recent years, our country would have gone bankrupt long ago. Before the seventh year of the Republic of China, our country's customs surplus had to pay the Boxer Indemnity before it could be returned to the central government. However, this phenomenon has gradually improved since the seventh year of the Republic of China, because there is no need to compensate Russia, Germany and Austria. Among the Boxer Indemnities, Russia, Germany and France are the three countries with the most compensation. After the end of the European War, all countries lowered the total amount of compensation to indicate our country's return to participating in the European War. Now the countries that need to be returned include France, Britain, the United States, Japan, Italy, and Italy, the Boxer Indemnity from countries such as Joseon and Europe, but the total amount of compensation has been reduced to half, and the national finance has gradually improved. All this is thanks to Xiushuo for the benefits of your troops going to Europe."

Wang Maoru smiled modestly and said, "I was only a little helping with Italy in Europe."

Pan Fu immediately said: "But for this, Italy exempted 90% of the Boxer Indemnity. Our country needs to pay Italy 1.8 million yuan a year, and this part has now become 180,000 yuan. However, now that the European war has ended, the currencies of European countries have depreciated seriously, especially the French franc depreciated to one-forty of the original. France has applied for, hoping to change the part of the Boxer Indemnity French compensation to US dollar settlement."
