November in Kaifeng, the capital of Henan Province, was 1 hour warmer than the capital. Even so, Beiyang general Xu Shuzheng also put on a cotton coat at this time. Sitting in the sunlight of the window, he looked at three telegrams. The first one was sent by Fu Liangzuo and Ni Sichong. Both of them were powerful Anhui factions, and some of their subordinates refused to accept being reorganized by He Rui and arrived in Henan.

Xu Shuzheng asked Fu Liangzuo, and Ni Sichong and he raised the flag to revive the Anhui clique. The two of them had previously tended to agree with Xu Shuzheng's suggestion. However, in a joint telegram, they decided to go to Tianjin to be an apartment house and ask Xu Shuzheng to take good care of their brothers who were willing to follow Xu Shuzheng. This disappointed Xu Shuzheng.

The other is Cao Kun's telegram. The Zhili warlords have publicly announced that the central government of He Rui and Fengshi was an illegal government and the Zhili party would never accept it. Cao Kun also criticized He Rui for using the "President of the Republic of China" to replace the title of "President of the Republic of China" and announced that Cao Kun is organizing the southern parliament to form a legal government. In the telegram, Cao Kun promised Xu Shuzheng a high-ranking official and generous salary, and said that he would never swallow Xu Shuzheng's troops, and would also strengthen Xu Shuzheng's troops.

Among the reasons why Xu Shuzheng opposed He Rui, a large part of it was dissatisfaction. If He Rui could come down and invite Xu Shuzheng back now, Xu Shuzheng would naturally return to the capital happily. After all, Xu Shuzheng recognized He Rui's strength quite well. As long as He Rui gave Xu Shuzheng the space he could use, Xu Shuzheng did not object to He Rui's role.

If he followed Cao Kun at this time, Xu Shuzheng would board the ship that fought a civil war with He Rui. 1 When he thought of He Rui's Northeast Army, Xu Shuzheng could not think of why he had to work hard for Cao Kun.

~Novel app,-app..

The last letter made Xu Shuzheng frown. This telegram was from the Shanghai Governor. Shanghai was very close to Britain and Japan, and the telegram also clearly expressed the British appreciation of Xu Shuzheng, believing that Xu Shuzheng could play an important role in China.

Xu Shuzheng didn't even want to join Cao Kun, and it was Xu Shuzheng hated him for joining Yingji. If he fought under Cao Kun's subordinates, he could still say that his skills were not as good as others in the civil war. Once he followed Yingji, Xu Shuzheng felt that he was a traitor.

After putting down the telegram, Xu Shuzheng even felt a little resentful in his heart. He Rui is a young man, why is he just a naughty man? They are all Beiyang brothers, can’t they save face for their brother?

When he was angry, his subordinates quickly sent a telegram, "Commander-in-Chief, it is General Duan's telegram." Xu Shuzheng was overjoyed and took a look. In the warm sunshine, Xu Shuzheng felt like falling into an ice cave. Duan Qirui told Xu Shuzheng the latest news in the telegram, "The Central Army captured Daming Mansion within 1 day, and Jin Yunpeng was captured."

When his mood improved slightly, Xu Shuzheng had already scolded him xxxxx. Of course, this was not scolding Duan Qirui, but scolding Jin Yunpeng for his incompetence and He Rui for his ruthlessness.

But no matter how much he scolded, it was useless. Xu Shuzheng finally realized Duan Qirui's friendship with him. He Rui was not ready to show mercy, and Jin Yunpeng had become a chicken that killed the chicken and scared the monkey. If Xu Shuzheng did not make a choice quickly, he would be the next one.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuzheng called the adjutant and squeezed out his words from the gap between his teeth, "Send a telegram to General Director Duan, our department is willing to accept the reorganization."

The adjutant heard this and felt relieved. He immediately ran out to arrange the situation, and after he came back, he whispered: "Commander-in-Chief, brothers have come to ask today when the excretion fee will be paid."

Xu Shuzheng did not answer, and walked out of the cold house with his hands behind his back and walked to the sun. The sun was so hot. But Xu Shuzheng's heart was cold. The Beiyang army had to be dispatched for the expulsion fee. This time, he led a crowd south. Xu Shuzheng relied on his prestige in Beiyang to pull out more than 20,000 people without the expulsion fee. In Kaifeng, he scraped Kaifeng once, but still couldn't raise enough money.

If Xu Shuzheng persists, he doesn't need He Rui to call him, and these Beiyang people alone may have eaten Xu Shuzheng.

At this time, someone came in and reported, "Commander-in-Chief, Northeast Army appeared on the railway bridge in Zhengzhou."

Xu Shuzheng felt relieved at this time. He said to his subordinates: "Don't be afraid, I have sent a telegram to President Duan, and we will accept the reorganization."

Hearing that there was no need to fight with the Northeast Army, his subordinates did not feel surprised. However, seeing Xu Shuzheng's murderous eyes, he quickly lowered his head and retreated.

After receiving a telegram from Xu Shuzheng, Duan Qirui's heart was finally put back into his stomach. At this time, Duan Qirui had arrived in Tianjin and saw with his own eyes how fast the Northeast Army took over the place.

When Duan Qirui arrived in Tianjin, it was November 12, and Duan Qirui saw a strange scene that day. Because a large number of Northeast Army had no confirmed camps, the troops were neatly sleeping on the streets. Although the Northeast Army had thick quilts and cotton coats, it was really rare to sleep outside in the cold and not harass the residents.

Moreover, this army has built many temporary toilets, and special drinking water points for the army, and garbage is cleaned regularly. Not only has the streets in Tianjin not become dirty and messy because of the passing of the army, but they are clean and tidy.

Perhaps He Rui wanted to show his military strict military discipline, but the troops came in batches and left in batches, hundreds of thousands of troops could achieve this. The strong organizational nature of his troops and the high obedience of officers and soldiers made Duan Qirui, who had long been used to the army not being dispatched without the excitation fee, completely extinguished his other thoughts.

Another thing shocked Duan Qirui even more. Tang Gui, the current acting mayor of Tianjin, was a poor boy who left Tianjin with He Rui 8 years ago. He was only 25 or 6 years old this year. After taking over Tianjin, he held a meeting of Tianjin's industrial and commercial representatives.

According to the factory owners attending the meeting, Tang Gui was actually proficient in economics. Tang Gui did not threaten and induce people at the meeting, but was very expert in discussing product supply and marketing with the factory owners.

Tianjin's industrial level was once the first in the north, especially with a deep industrial foundation. Factory owners need raw materials for production and products also need to be sold. Tang Gui said that the new government has raw materials in hand and will also purchase the products they need. On this basis, seek cooperation with factory owners.

In recent years, the Northeast government has not had a bad reputation in Tianjin. Among the factory owners who personally attended the meeting after receiving the invitation, one and a half were ready to be sacked. The other half, although they felt that the new government might not do it immediately, they were also ready.

In the first 10 minutes of the meeting, the factory owners were puzzled. By the 20th minute, the members of the meeting became excited. Mayor Tang Gui introduced the new Tianjin Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Taxation Bureau to the factory owners. The two directors introduced the next work arrangements and had a great chat with the factory owners.

Within the next five days, the new government in Tianjin completed the basic structure at an astonishing speed and started operating.

Of course, unlucky people also exist. Duan Qirui knew that He Rui had many people from Tianjin, but he did not expect that after he arrived in Tianjin, they began to wipe out the Tianjin gangs and evil people. His precise and rapid action made it possible for Tianjin newspapers to publish news of various thieves and evil bandits being arrested in the next few days.

Although the new government's decisive behavior surprised Duan Qirui, the people who completed these were only young people of around 30 years old, and they operated a big city like Tianjin in a very well-deserved manner. There was no inevitable chaos that would inevitably occur when regimes changed. Although citizens were afraid, they were all living normally. It seemed that what happened was not the change of dynasty, but a simple appointment and removal of officials. He Rui had so many capable subordinates, which was the reason why Duan Qirui was shocked.

The government, banks, customs, docks, factories, transportation, warehousing, electricity, tap water, and the Northeast government took over all, and all did not affect normal operations. If every city could do this, it would not take long for He Rui to completely grasp the north.

It was not just Duan Qirui who had this view. The Japanese side had the largest number of intelligence personnel in China and had more thorough observations. On November 22, a detailed report was transmitted to Japan through telegram. The government, navy, and the 6th Army all began to analyze this.

Nagata and Ishihara were invited to the General Staff Headquarters again. Nagata was not surprised after reading the report. He looked at Ishihara and saw that Ishihara was quite tired. He even yawned when he looked at the report. Perhaps because he noticed the eyes of others, Ishihara took the initiative to say with ease: "Sorry, everyone. I have been rude. I have basically not slept in order to write textbooks these two days."

In Japan, it is easy to speak like this and the meeting chairpersons directly drove him away. Nagata felt that Ishihara should not care about these reports, so he expressed his views so frankly. Perhaps Lieutenant General Suzuki Zhuang, the Chief Minister, also thought so. He did not drive Ishihara away, but asked: "Grandpa Ishihara, according to this report, is the main force of the He Rui government placed in the city?"

Ishihara shook his head, "Big cities are very important, but if the power of the He Rui government can only control the city, the problem of soaring prices will soon be due to shortage of supply. In my opinion, the main force of the He Rui government should be in the countryside. As long as the flow of goods between the countryside and the city can be quickly restored, the city will settle down. If it cannot be done, the city will become a burden to the He Rui government."

After hearing this, even if the attending generals could not speak of awe, they would at least be energetic. Even the generals who did not understand the economy felt that their vision of China was broadened by Ishihara's explanation.

On the contrary, Lieutenant General Suzuki, the chief minister of the staff, did not have such a way of thinking in his initial analysis. After being proposed by Ishihara, Lieutenant General Suzuki didn't know what to say. But Lieutenant General Suzuki did not mean to let Ishihara show off, so he turned to Nagata, "What about your opinion?"

Nagata himself admired Ishihara's entry point very much, but he could not continue to talk with Ishihara's views, so he answered questions that soldiers care about: "Britain has greater interests in China than in Japan, and the actions of the He Rui government will inevitably have conflicts with the British government. And from this stage, our country's concession has been greatly damaged. However, it won't take long for He Rui's army to go south to reach the Yangtze River. At that time, conflicts with Britain will inevitably break out. Now the one who hopes that Japan and He Rui government will break out will be Britain."

Although the attending generals and schools looked unhappy, they nodded slightly. From a strategic perspective, if the UK broke out in a full-scale war with the He Rui government, Japan would definitely benefit, and it would be the best if it could fight. Even if it could not fight, the weakening of Britain in China would make Japan's strategy more proactive.

However, the He Rui government swept away the concessions it reached in various places like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Japan's 30-year business has disappeared since then, which is really frustrating.

One Nakasa broke the frustrated silence, "Hisan Ishihara, according to what you said just now, the strength of the He Rui government will be rapidly improved. But will the land policy of the Northeast government be subject to fierce resistance from the countryside?"

Hearing this topic, the generals and schools were all energetic. Ishihara felt that this was a stupid question, so he replied: "Your Excellency Nagata is more clear about this kind of thing."

Nagata secretly scolded Ishihara for being too cunning, so he kicked the ball back, "I'd better ask Nagata to make a high opinion."

Ishihara doesn't care. He asked Nakasa, "Did you have the questions you have only read the recent newspaper?"

Nakazo replied frankly: "Yes."

pp!

Because Japan was actually defeated, in order to relieve the government, some propaganda appeared in local newspapers of the Royalist Doctrine. For example, accusing He Rui of being an evil communist. Why is it evil? Because the Northeast government confiscated the land of the landlords and gentry and distributed it to the peasants, threatening to obtain land, and forced the Northeast peasants to join the army to fight.

This kind of report was immediately discovered by the Ministry of Education of the 6th Army and sent people to advise editors who were close to the Imperialists not to promote these issues. The editors were quickly convinced, and this analysis soon disappeared in the newspaper.

However, the reaction caused by this incident did not stop. The Japanese who saw this incident said that it was "unbelievable" that soldiers could obtain land by joining the army. This kind of thing is simply a myth in Japan. However, the Japanese people who heard this incident did not feel the evil of the Northeast government, but rather envy the benefits of Chinese soldiers.

In the current rural Japanese villages and villages of the Imperial Doctrine, radical Japanese youth believe that if Japanese soldiers can be divided, they will definitely greatly stimulate the fighting will of the Japanese army. Therefore, whether He Rui is an evil communist is no longer cared about by the Japanese audience. For various reasons, whether soldiers should have land rewards has become a hot topic in Japan.

There are people who really support them, and there are more people who really oppose them. However, there are so many people who verbally oppose them and have other ideas in their hearts, even the 6th Army Ministry of Education is unwilling to mention them.

This impact has now reached the General Staff Headquarters, and Ishihara Kanir is really surprised. But this question is undoubtedly a stupid question. Ishihara asked: "Can the empire provide weapons and equipment support to those armed rebels?"

Zhongzuo immediately woke up and quickly replied, "Your Excellency, I am not thinking well."

Ishihara continued to add, as if reproached, "If the land policy in the Northeast is hated by a landlord, it will gain dozens of tenant farmers' support. If He Rui is subject to fierce resistance, it means that his land policy has received huge support. I hope you will not ask such a stupid question again."

Most generals and schools have not had bad origins, and they don’t say anything after hearing the terrifying future described by Ishihara. The Manchuria and Mongolian region plus Northern China have a population of more than 200 million. The two places are jointly included in He Rui’s governance, which means that He Rui’s strength has increased by at least 1 times. If He Rui launches a 2 million army, there will never be any shortage of troops.

The senior management of the General Staff Headquarters has conducted data deductions. After listing the most basic data, the deductions will end in vain. When lying to others, everyone can indeed open their eyes to tell lies. Is it necessary to deceive yourself?

p

Finally, the content of the meeting returned to the report. Nagata felt quite alike when he saw Ishihara looking like he wanted to yawn again. This piece of information only showed the worst predictions before using the actual report, and it was worthless in itself.

It doesn't matter if Ishihara can do this, but Nagata, who has become one of Japan's top power members, cannot. Japan's past major policies have actually gone bankrupt and no one will mention it anymore. But what will Japan's future national policy look like? Too many people are eager to try and want to dominate the new situation.
