On December 20, 1917, Duan Qirui, the Prime Minister of the Republic of China who had just resigned, glanced over the front page of the Northeast Daily, and saw a small tofu cube in the lower right corner. He simply wrote two news about Duan Qirui's resignation.

.

Compared with other newspaper reports, such a length is really insignificant. Even if He Rui is so rude, Duan Qirui cannot focus on He Rui's side. The current priority is to reach a compromise with President Feng Guozhang on the distribution of power.

.

After reading the front page headlines, Duan Qirui put down the Northeast Daily, stood up and walked into the flower hall. The staff next to him had read the news and followed Duan Qirui and suggested: "General, He Rui has ulterior motives."

Duan Qirui couldn't help but show a sneer on his face. On the front page, there was news about the Northeast, "Northeast local government named January 1 of the Western calendar as the first day of the year, and the Spring Festival is New Year'.

The article reviews the Chinese calendar tradition. It is best to have a fixed day for the year. It is a relatively convenient choice to borrow January 1 of the Western calendar as the year. However, the Chinese calendar must conform to the Chinese tradition. Therefore, the Spring Festival should be New Year's Day.

.

Even though there was no attack on the Beiyang government in this article, Duan Qirui still saw the intention. It is the work of the central government to formulate the national calendar. Why, as the local chief of Northeast China, should He Rui make a point in such matters?

It is obvious that his heart is not asked.

Seeing that Duan Qirui didn't say a word, the aide could only tentatively say: "What do the Chief Executive think of He Rui?"

Duan Qirui chuckled, "I am a person without an official position now, so let President Feng be upset about this."

The staff member was stunned for a moment, feeling that he understood Duan Qirui’s thoughts.

The first time the Qing court was forced to abdicate, the second time the Yuan Shikai proclaimed emperor, and the third time the defeat of Zhang Xun to restore the throne. Now Duan Qirui has been praised by the newspapers that flattered him as "Three Republics". Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang joined forces to force him

After Li Yuanhong, an outsider, got out of here, Duan Qirui still couldn't sit on the throne of the president. So let Feng Guozhang be worried at this time. The more Feng Guozhang felt He Rui's threat, the more he had to compromise with Duan Qirui and deal with it together.

He Rui’s challenge.

When the aide recalled that he was ordered to send He Rui outside the pass for two years and Duan Qirui gave the excrement fee, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. At that time, a young boy had now become the top three influential figure among the Beiyang army.

As Duan Qirui expected, Feng Guozhang's aide was scratching his head about He Rui. The British Minister Juerdian, who left the capital a few days ago, publicly stated that he would not accept the misconduct of local forces like He Rui, and the French Minister expressed the same view.

President Feng Guozhang was very unhappy. He finally had the opportunity to overwhelm Duan Qirui. Feng Guozhang did not want to be distracted by such a thing, but he had to pay attention to it.

The staff members thought about it but couldn't think of a way to deal with He Rui. Several staff members frowned when they looked at the news in the Northeast Daily. Suddenly, someone stretched their eyebrows, "We sealed the Northeast Daily.

Tianjin branch!”

When other staff heard this, they immediately felt that this was a good idea. Now that they are organizing troops to fight Fengtian, it is absolutely impossible. But if they are in charge of the "Northeast Daily" branch station in Tianjin, they are holding it in hand.

Immediately, the staff went to see Feng Guozhang and expressed this view. Feng Guozhang did not want to focus on He Rui at all. After listening to this suggestion, he immediately ordered: "Generate power and let the Tianjin Governor seal it!"

Seeing his subordinates being ordered to pass the order, Feng Guozhang retracted his gaze unhappily. He Rui's sudden rise was really beyond expectations. Feng Guozhang felt that Zhu Erdian would definitely make He Rui obedient when he was outside the pass. At that time, He Rui was in conflict with the British side.

I am afraid I will ask Feng Guozhang to come forward to coordinate.

At that time, we have to make this young boy look good!

Just as Feng Guozhang's order was issued, many young students from Beijing and Tianjin went to different venues. As soon as they entered the venue, they found that there were fewer familiar faces among the people sent by the Northeast Daily, and more.

A few new faces.

The new Northeast Daily staff first introduced themselves and then explained the personnel adjustments, "We are working and studying. Those comrades went back to the Northeast to attend the study class first, and we participated in the study class.

Come here later.”

The students who came to listen to the class were a little surprised. However, the new members of the Civilized Party did not talk nonsense and started teaching directly, "Students, everyone thinks it is very satisfying to recover Zhongdong Road. This idea is very normal, but General He will recover Zhongdong Road.

The thinking is not based on simple emotions. International politics has its own internal logic of international politics. This time we are here to explain these thinking logics to everyone."

After saying that, looking at the excited and anticipated students, the members of the Civilized Party laughed and said, "We have received course training in Fengtian, or are General He personally giving lectures. The content here will never be wrong. Please listen with peace of mind."

Although most of the young students are not from poor people, they have no chance to get in touch with the political judgments of the senior management. Everyone holds their breath and concentrates, and many people even take out their notebooks.

The members of the Civilized Party told the students the courses they learned in Fengtian. He Rui's judgment logic was very clear and clear. Since China has joined the Allied Power, it must take actions that are in line with the overall interests of the Allied Power. As a member of the Allied Power, Russia has taken the lead.

The government's decision to withdraw from the war was to betray the Allies. As a member of the Allies, China has the obligation to safeguard the interests of the Allies.

"Once Russia formally withdrew from the Allied Powers, is it possible for them to attack China, a member of the Allied Powers? There is such a possibility that as a preventive measure, China must revoke the Middle East Road and impose protective restrictions on all Russian personnel in China!"

The school education in this era is divided into primary schools, high schools, middle schools, and universities. The corresponding ones are elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities in later generations. Those who come to listen to the lectures are college students and middle schools of this era, so most people's emotions are from

Excited became surprised, and even a little unhappy.

When the members of the Civilized Party saw the expressions of the young students, they couldn't help but sigh. Everyone had the same mental journey when listening to He Rui's lectures.

"Students, do you think we have some power? We have used the tiger skin as a banner, and acted with the position of the Allies, and did not go to war with Russia in a dignified manner?"

The young students were just unhappy at first, but they might not really understand the political logic. At this time, when they heard such a clear statement, many people's original unhappiness turned into anger, and some people said: "Russia invaded so many of us."

Territory, why not go to war against Russia?”

"This is the political reality. We are not invading Russia. We are not invaders." The members of the Civilized Party clearly pointed out the core points.

Some young people became even more unhappy and spoke out to argue with the members of the Civilized Party. The members of the Civilized Party have all gone through this mental journey and can also be patient in discussing logic. This made some young people with irritable temperament very unhappy and finally got up and left.

.

The members of the Civilized Party sighed in their hearts, but their eyes swept over the young students left in front of them. They saw that some of the young students had already looked serious and serious. Although they did not have the enthusiasm they had before, they obviously wanted to figure out the logic of He Rui's actions.

Before leaving the country this time, the Party Committee selected these party members so that they could inform the young people of the truth of the matter and also selected those who were more mature and able to understand politics.

As He Rui said, "What we need is comrades who can follow the organization, but not those who use our organization in order to realize their personal impulses and passions. The difference between them is hoped that comrades can deepen their work.

understand."

After the course, some young people continued to stay and asked some questions from the members of the Civilized Party. This one-on-one conversation clearly demonstrated the young people's personality. Some young people thought that He Rui also had his own difficulties, so they could not let go.

A try.

Only a few young people expressed their views, "If the teacher said, the recovery of the Middle East Road this time was a political battle, not a simple military action."

"Yes." The Civilized Party member replied.

"But this approach will never conquer the world." There was expectation in the expressions of the young student.

"If you want to learn more, you hope that your classmates can come to the Northeast. In the Northeast, more teachers will teach students. Everyone should figure out that it is not only Chairman He who is doing things in the Northeast, but hundreds of thousands of people.

Comrades are working together for China’s rejuvenation.”

The youths were all a little excited, but they quickly faded again. The members of the Civilized Party could understand without asking. Even if these young people were happy to see the success of the recovery of the Central East Road this time, it did not mean that they could leave everything behind and go.

Follow the revolution outside the pass.

The course was very late, especially in Tianjin. Since Zhao Tianlin, the president of the National Beiyang University, went outside the pass, the Tianjin school felt much closer to the Northeast than other cities.

It was dark, and when the members of the Civilized Party were preparing to return to the report, someone rushed over, "The Tianjin Governor ordered the newspaper to be sealed, and everyone rushed to the safe house."

He Rui received the news two days later that since the Beiyang government is in the first day of the lunar calendar, He Rui has no reason not to do the fifteenth. He called the commander of the Liaoning Military Region Hu Xiushan, and He Rui ordered: "Send troops to take down Shanhaiguan."

Hu Xiushan asked simply: "Chairman, what is the purpose of doing this?"

He Rui told Hu Xiushan the news that Beiyang had seized the Northeast Daily, "You can send people to talk to them, or you can send troops to capture Shanhaiguan. I decided to use force. This is also impossible. If there is a newspaper in Beiyang in Fengtian.

, I can still take revenge equally. Since Beiyang is useless and does not have its own newspaper, there is no way. Even if the revenge is stronger than Beiyang, we can only do this."

Over the past two years, Hu Xiushan, who was already serious, has become more and more calm on his daily life. At this time, he thought quietly for a while and asked: "Chairman, in your opinion, the importance of publicity is.

Can you compare it with the troops?”

He Rui thought for a while, "Attack the heart is the best, attack the city is the best. Heart fight is the best, and soldiers fight is the best. Beiyang wants to show me good looks, but if it is something else, I don't care. But the Northeast Daily is our way to the pass.

The general public understands us and understands the new life in China in the future. It is our mouth, our eyes. Some people want to sew our eyes and sew our mouths. This is unacceptable."

After hearing this, Hu Xiushan thought for a moment, then stood attentively and saluted, "I'll go and execute it now."

Looking at Hu Xiushan's back, He Rui felt that the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly. It was the muscle movement caused by the smile from the heart.

Hu Xiushan not only read books and study, but also visited the area and went to the field to check it out. Even if He Rui didn't ask, he knew that Hu Xiushan must have completed the combat plan to attack Shanhaiguan.

This is not because Hu Xiushan is gifted. The general manager of a modern and modern military power will make plans for various possible military threats and military operations. Even in Japan, the people in the general manager's daily work is to produce various

A combat plan.
