1o82619o8 Far East Madman Chapter 34 Jigong Mountain

Jigong Mountain is located in Henan. Wusheng Pass is located at the junction of Henan and Hubei. 4. Since this is a mountainous area, the climate is cool. It is a summer resort. Since the opening of the country's gates in the late Qing Dynasty, foreigners have appeared in the Jigong Mountain area. They have taken advantage of the scenery and climate here. So they purchased land and villas here to treat Jigong Mountain as a summer resort for foreigners. However, under the impact of lesson plans that emerged everywhere in the late Qing Dynasty, Chinese and foreigners in Jigong Mountain could not live in peace. Therefore, taking advantage of the signing of the Xin Chou Treaty, the foreign consul officially declared Jigong Mountain as a special summer resort for foreigners and established a management agency similar to the Concession Bureau of the Concession Bureau. Here, Chinese people cannot purchase land at will, and Chinese living in Jigong Mountain must also be managed by the Ministry of Industry.

Jigongshan area has become a paradise for foreigners under the banner of "autonomousness". The situation is the same as that of Lushan, Jiangxi, Beidaihe, Xijiang Moganshan, Fuzhou Guling and other regions. It can be seen from this that the decline of national power and the sovereignty of the country are in the same situation.

Although the Republican government was established after the revolution, it did not dare to touch the privileges of foreign countries in China. Jigong Mountain was still a paradise for foreigners. Some time ago, due to the congressional elections, the North and South powers were confronted and eventually turned into war. In order to avoid the war, many foreigners doing business in Henan, missionary foreigners moved to Jigong Mountain, and now they are foreigners who are now escaping the summer heat here in late summer, so many Chinese people have become particularly lively.

Although the war in southern Henan has basically ended, the current situation is still turbulent. The foreigners and Chinese living in Jigong Mountain are unwilling to leave this paradise. The weather is getting a little cooler and staying in the mountains at night is not very comfortable. Many people moved from villas on the mountainside to hotels at the foot of the mountain.

The people and cars were coming and going at the foot of the mountain, and the traffic was very lively. In addition to those foreigners, many rich people in Henan also avoided the war here. Although they could not purchase land here at will, they did not mind renting expensive villas from foreigners to avoid the heat of the late summer. They were waiting for the end of the war.

There is a villa area on the northern foot of Jigong Mountain. It was built by a French builder, so it was named "Champs Elysees". However, the Chinese call it "perfume garden". Because there are many French perfume merchants who live here, the cheap perfume they sell to the Chinese have penetrated into the countryside of Henan. The perfume in Henan represents France.

However, there are not many French people living in this perfume garden. Most of the villas here are rented to Chinese rich people who escape the war, including many of them in the officialdom.

As a former chief official of the Qing Dynasty, former governor of Henan, Wu Chongxi lived in a small villa in the perfume garden. This villa is an industry of a French foreign business manager. Wu Chongxi was a minister of the postal and communication department. When he was the minister of the postal and communication department, he had some contact with the foreign manager. Now he lives in this villa without rent. This is because of the friendship between the two and the French businessman. On the other hand, the French businessman has returned to France. The villa is empty and it is better to earn personal favors. In such a country, a down-and-out former official may regain his relationship at any time. French businessman is planning to make a political investment.

Wu Chongxi is indeed quite depressed now. Since the revolution, he has been basically excluded from the officialdom and only received a taxi fee in the Provincial House of Commons with the title of "Henan Constitutional Commissar". Moreover, with the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, the gray income before the fall of the Qing Dynasty also lost its source of chariot Jing. Bing Jing disappeared. Those who always shouted "teacher" when they met, and the juren did not come to see the teacher. As for the non-jing they sent, Shi Jing was gone.

Wu Chongxi certainly understood why he was so down and out. After the revolution, he announced that Henan's actions were not proactive, but forced to act at the gun of the Beiyang Army. Wu Chongxi himself understood this point in his heart. As a political figure, Wu Chongxi knew that Yuan Shikai regarded him as an outsider because of this.

However, Wu Chongxi didn't care about Yuan Shikai's views on him. As an outdated politician, he knew very well that he was unlikely to resume in politics. Because Beiyang Group wanted to resettle its own people, Yuan Shikai also wanted to resettle his confidant monks. Outsiders like Wu Chongxi, Beiyang Group would not absorb them and put them on Wu Chongxi's hat as a "constitutional commissar" and it was very polite.

Originally, Wu Chongxi planned to just wear the hat of "Constitutional Commissar" and eat and drink. At least the monthly car and horse fee was a few hundred silver dollars.

However, as the situation developed, Wu Chongxi's politics recovered. He suddenly realized that his choice seemed a bit inappropriate, and what fundamentally changed his ideas was the "Hunan-Guizhou Incident." Wu Chongxi was surprised to find that the revolutionary forces in the south were hit by the fierce attacks of the Junxian faction of Hunan and Guizhou provinces, not only did not come down, but took this opportunity to further strengthen the control of the southern provinces, which forced Wu Chongxi to re-examine the rise and fall of the forces in the north and south.

After a painful choice, Wu Chongxi resolutely resigned from his position as "Constitutional Commissar" in Henan to show his feelings. However, at this time, he had not decided whether to turn to the south to the powerful, and decided to continue to wait and see.

Soon the "South Henan Battle between the powerful factions in the north and the south started. In just a few days, the United Front revolutionary armed forces easily defeated the Beiyang South and advanced to the Second Army and won a brilliant victory. This not only surprised Wu Chongxi but also prompted him to finally decide his new loyalty.

Wu Chongxi decided to go back to the United Front to engage in a political speculation in exchange for the opportunity to recover the political arena. As a person who once served as a governor, Wu Chongxi was unwilling to be lonely. He also yearned for political power and yearned for the feeling of being arrogant.

If you want to join the United Front, Wu Chongxi must find a way to show some "meeting gift" or "vote letters of fame", otherwise, with his current white state, even if the United Front is willing to accept it, he will never regard him as a character and will give him a false title like Yuan Shikai.

What Wu Chongxi wants is real power, so he decided to take risks.

Wu Chongxi has been in Henan for nearly a year and has been in the governor’s political achievements, but he still has some of the capital he uses now.

Wu Chongxi's plan is very simple. He is planning to use the network of relations at hand to instigate the local armed forces in Henan in northern Henan to cooperate with the United Front to control the entire Henan province as a letter of controversy to join the United Front.

The northern part of Henan is still controlled by the Beiyang. The local armed forces are also unified in command and dispatched. Many of these local armed forces are adapted from the original Qing army patrol battalion to change the soup and not change the medicine. Even the military uniforms are still old-style jackets. These troops are not strong in combat but still have some ability to make trouble. As long as the troops of the United Front continue to advance northward to these local armed forces, they can be fully utilized.

This is Wu Chongxi's wishful thinking, but this abacus is one pound. But he can't fight without the United Front's host and support him. Governor Wu's plan is a joke.

A few days ago, Wu Chongxi sent people to northern Henan and Wusheng Pass to northern Henan to contact the patrol battalion and Wusheng Pass to contact the United Front.

Now that people from northern Henan have not yet sent back the news, the people from Wusheng Pass have rushed back and handed a letter to Wu Chongxi.

This letter was actually written by Zhao Bei, Chairman of the United Front. This surprised Wu Chongxi and felt a little flattered. He thought it would be good to contact a senior officer, but he never thought that Chairman Zhao would reply to him personally and the words in the letter were quite polite.

Who is the chairman? He is a man who is busy with all kinds of things. Moreover, he has actually become the leader of the powerful faction in the south. This time he is in charge of command and defeating the Beiyang main force. The prestige is rapidly increasing. There are faint signs of being in the world. The chairman can get a reply from his personal letter to Wu Chongxi, who has been anxious for many days, suddenly turned excited.

Moreover, there is also a special telegram password book that allows both parties to contact at any time.

"The Chairman's personal reply shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

We must do this matter properly. The Chairman underestimates that we are a small matter that delays your future and that is a big matter. You guys, tell me any ideas. We three cobblers will discuss it at least."

After reading the letter, Wu Chongxi handed over the letter to several of his confidants here to circulate them. Some of these people were the guests who were the governors before. Some of them were low-level officials who had lost their power, like Wu Chongxi after the revolution. Everyone was somewhat sympathetic and compassionate, so they gathered together to make plans for Wu Chongxi's political speculation and make a living.

After reading the letter, everyone was as excited as Wu Chongxi, but they were also a little worried. Chairman Zhao clearly stated that it was not enough to just cooperate with the United Front troops to control the northern Henan region. The chairman planned to swallow the power of victory in one go with the power of victory in Shanxi and the whole province of Shanxi from the west to look down at Zhili and Beijing and Tianjin.

This is a very bold strategic concept. If it can be implemented, the United Front will have a complete advantage in strategic terms. Beiyang Group can only hide in Zhili, and the Shandong area will be in stagnant.

However, it is not so easy to implement this strategic plan. Wu Chongxi is the governor of Henan. His relationship network is mainly in Henan, rather than in Shanxi how to cooperate with the chairman's strategy. Shanxi plan does a test of Wu Chongxi and others' ability to adapt.

Perhaps this is a test for Wu Chongxi by the Chairman. If he passes this test, then he will be taller in the mind of the Chairman in the future.

Everyone discussed the plan to guide Shanxi, but after discussion, Wu Chongxi really had no connections. Just as he was thinking about it, a Guest suddenly remembered someone.

"Mr. Wu, you have never been the governor of Shanxi. But Ben Chunxuan has done that. When the "Gengzi National Change" Shanxi Governor Yuxian instigated boxing people to kill foreigners. Later, the Eight-Nation Alliance refused to give up and asked a name to kill the Qing court, and had to kill Yuxian. In order to negotiate peace, the Qing court had to be executed. The position of governor of Shanxi was empty. The governor of Shanxi was temporarily transferred from Hunan to Shanxi. However, before he could take office, Xiliang was transferred to Hubei. The governor of Shanxi could not find a suitable person. At that time, the Empress Dowager Xi and Emperor Guangxu were both walking in Xi'an and hunting in the west. They were worried about the matter of Shanxi Governor of Shanxi.

At that time, Feng Chunxuan was the governor of Shaanxi and volunteered to serve as the governor of Shanxi because of this incident. Chunxuan was highly valued by the Empress Dowager Cixi for only one year and was transferred to Guangdong as the governor. Mr. Wu, Mu Chunxuan, was a governor of Shanxi for more than a year. At that time, local officials in Shanxi were either threatened by foreigners to kill the Qing court. Or the officials who fled took over were promoted by Chunxuan. In this way, Chunxuan was still very kind to the current local officials in Shanxi. He was far more likely to win than we did."

After hearing the words of the Muke, Wu Chongxi said repeatedly: "Not bad. Ju Chunxuan has indeed been the governor of Shanxi, but I heard that this person is now living in the Tianjin Concession. I wonder if he is willing to webbed this muddy water?"

"Mu Chunxuan has always been inconsistent with Yuan Shikai. The two had deep conflicts last time when Yuan Shikai advised Beijing and Tianjin, the rebel soldiers almost captured Ben Chunxuan, who was then the governor of Zhili, and the two of them might not be able to resolve the hostility. Now the United Front is an anti-Yuan Shikai and anti-Beiyang Ju Chunxuan. If he doesn't want to hide in Tibet all day, he will definitely be willing to do his best. Of course, this benefit must be given to some, but this requires consultation with the United Front."
