.The incident in Jiangxi was delayed until mid-December. Even Tang Tianxi, Fu Liangzuo and others heard the news, but Li Chun did not make any moves for a long time, just hesitated and could not listen to anyone's words.

These days, Lu Yongxiang, Tang Tianxi and Fu Liangzuo met several times in a hurry to discuss how to deal with it.

For them, it is better to say that they are complaining rather than discussing countermeasures. At least they have been peaceful and abiding by the norms over the years, dare not do big things, and do not interfere in small things, but they still cannot escape the thorn in the eyes of becoming the head of state. This is simply not giving people a way out. But even so, they have no choice. Now that they have rectified everything, and looking at the central government's forces across the country, how can they still seek survival?

After several days of discussion and dialogue, there was no result. It was harder to make a mistake by relying solely on the hands of the people to cause trouble than to reach the sky. What's more, even they themselves have no confidence. The country is shrouded in a fanatical atmosphere of national attention, and everyone is clamoring to start a war against the great powers. At this time, the soldiers under their hands will rebel with them?

On December 22, Wu Shaoting called Nanchang again and asked why Li Chun refused to obey the order? Of course, he knew Li Chun's concerns, so he specially discussed with Feng Guozhang to persuade Feng Guozhang to stand on his side.

Feng Guozhang initially agreed to Wu Shaoting's approach to rectifying the whole country. After all, local warlords colluded with foreigners and learned from foreign enemies and would sooner or later cause a big disaster, and these stubborn people should have been completely eradicated. However, after half a month, he found that Wu Shaoting was not only dealing with warlords who colluded with foreigners, but more of the old figures of the Beiyang Gong Party.

No matter how much these local officials are all from the Beiyang Democratic Party. Even though the political factions were different before, they were all old people from Beiyang. Wu Shaoting fought so indiscriminately, did he take him seriously? Or was he deliberately suppressing the power of the Beiyang Democratic Party?

When Wu Shaoting found Feng Guozhang, Feng Guozhang asked directly.

"Shocking, those people in the northwest have evidence, and they deserve to be killed or cut. Ni Danchen and Zhao Zhou people have always been peaceful and peaceful. If you want to say what meeting the central government holds, they will definitely be present. If there is any government order in the central government, they will definitely obey it. Why are they arrested for no reason now?"

"Mr. Fu, I have no intention of arresting them. I just invited them to Nanjing to discuss national affairs. It's just that the means are somewhat special."

"If you have any discussions on national affairs, you must make people panic? I am shocked, although I am old, I am not blind, and you don't need to find such a high-sounding excuse to deal with me."

"No matter what, I do this for the sake of the central government. Even if Fu Gong believes that I use public interest for personal gain or think that I am innocent, there are some things that I have to deal with, and what should be dealt with must be handled. However, I can assure Fu Gong that I will definitely take a sensation in the arrangements for dealing with these people. If there is no evidence, at most I will be appointed as a member of the Central Department. The Senate and the House of Representatives will have more seats."

After hearing this, Feng Guozhang actually understood what Wu Shaoting meant. The other party could dominate the position of the central government and the seats of the two houses of the Congress as a transaction, which was enough to show that he had already overtaken the status of the head of state. In the Republic of China, only the head of state was the real power holder, and the central government and the local government were just decorations.

He originally thought he had seen through this, but he never expected that when the profound facts were placed in front of him, he could not accept it for a moment. He had imagined that the Nanjing central government would be built into a strong national government, even if it would be fine if a young student was allowed to serve as the national leader, as long as the central government could be guaranteed to dominate the central government.

However, since the end of the National Assembly, he discovered that the political system designed by Wu Shaoting was constantly weakening the government's power, which in contrast was to highlight the power of the president or head of state.

For Feng Guozhang, who had already chosen to give in, how could he turn the central government into a puppet?

But then again, even so, what can he do now? In addition to fighting for the continuation of Beiyang and maintaining his position as vice president, any effort would be futile. Since he chose to negotiate peace between the north and the south, he should have the awareness of today. Beiyang really has no ability to turn things around.

At this time, Wu Shaoting changed his tone and said in consolation: "Uncle Shi, you and I are a family, there is no need to say two people. The Republic of China is about to start with foreigners, so how can we tolerate some mistakes? Uncle Shi, think carefully, is it easy for us to work hard until today? We can finally fight with the Japanese, be brothers and brothers with the German Empire, and be enemies with England and France. This is not something accumulated overnight."

Feng Guozhang sighed and said, "I naturally know these."

Wu Shaoting continued: "If Uncle Shi can be relieved, please think that I am asking these people to come to Nanjing to jointly make big suggestions for the battle. If I am not willing, then I just think that I can't let go of my suspicion and make some precautions. After the war is over, as long as you say, these people can be restored to their posts and continue to serve as the central government. Even if they return to the field, they will rely solely on Uncle Shi's intentions. Today I have said this, please forgive me no matter what."

Feng Guozhang finally felt a little comfort in his heart, but fortunately the other party knew to treat him as his family. Although he was old and had many stubborn temperaments, if you think about it carefully, there was no other way now, so you could only follow Wu Shaoting's words for the time being. As for how to make arrangements in the future, you can only let it go.

After persuading Feng Guozhang, Wu Shaoting asked Feng Guozhang to come forward to give Li Chun instructions, and also sent it to Nanchang on December 22. He specifically named Li Chun's interest in the telegram. If Li Chun violated the order, it would not only be of no help, but would make the central government even more suspicious. If he obeyed the order, it would naturally be better than doing nothing.

In desperation, Li Chun decided to take down Lu Yongxiang, Tang Tianxi, Fu Liangzuo and others first, and then consider how to protect himself.

For Lu Yongxiang and others, they had been mentally prepared in these days. Instead of fearless resistance, it would be better to surrender and gain magnanimous understanding. Maybe they could still serve as a gangster in Nanjing. However, Li Chun's army had not arrived yet, but instead welcomed a Japanese businessman, trying to persuade Lu Yongxiang and others to abscond, and said that the Japanese official could provide funds and guarantees to ensure that everyone arrived in Taiwan safely.

These words attracted the attention of Lu Yongxiang and others. It is not a bad idea to escape abroad, but considering that the Japanese are contacting each other, they will inevitably become a puppet used by the Japanese in the future. Thinking about the current Sino-Japanese War, the current victory in the Sino-Japanese War, and exiled to Japan at this time will definitely bear the reputation of being a traitor, and will never be eliminated for generations.

It is much better to stay in China than to go into exile in Japan. No matter what, Nanjing cannot kill them because of false charges. The head of state simply hopes to expand the level of centralization and eliminate all hidden dangers. As long as they obey the central arrangements, they will only be a different lifestyle at most.

In the end, Lu Yongxiang and others rejected the Japanese businessman's proposal, which was obviously a wise choice.

Because the car that the Japanese businessman was riding in was suddenly surrounded by three other cars that appeared from different directions shortly after it started, more than a dozen armed personnel wearing black windbreakers and pistols rushed in and directly pulled out the car and took it away, and disappeared from then on.

For the remaining ten days in December, the Ministry of Information has been carefully managing public opinion. Under the pretext of inciting nationalist craze, the national rectification campaign quickly gained unprecedented support. People have hated foreigners bullying China for a long time, and the news that colluded with foreigners to conspire to rebel at this time is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.

Traitors, lackeys, traitors, are always more hateful than frontal enemies. The people have condemned local warlords who colluded with foreigners. No matter whether these warlords have any such incidents, any news obtained in newspapers or market rumors seems to be a foregone conclusion at this moment.

The fanatical nationalist atmosphere has made many people lose their minds. As long as they are labeled as enemies of the central government, they will be public enemies in the country.
