Beiyang reactionaries

That's why Zhou Zhongyue hesitated.

It's not that Zhou Zhongyue doesn't know the Beiyang Army's ambitions, Duan Qirui's ambitions, and Duan Xun's ambitions.But if he becomes the governor of Yunnan, he will never allow such a large proportion of military expenditure.This is where Zhou Zhongyue is in trouble.If he really cuts off the military expenditure, then the Yunnan Army will suffer a huge blow, and it is possible that it will never be able to compete with the Beiyang Army.

If you don't accept it, you will be out of sight and out of mind.But once he decides to accept this position, with Zhou Zhongyue's personality, he will never compromise.At that time, the boss of the Yunnan Army will definitely not be satisfied.

"Brother Shengfu (Zhou Zhongyue), I think it should be accepted."

Wang Jiuling sighed.

Among those present, Wang Jiuling and Tang Jiyao have the best relationship.Wang Jiuling always believed that Tang Jiyao was a wise man in this troubled world, so he tried his best to repay him and help him deal with various problems.

But now that Tang Jiyao has left the field, it is impossible for Wang Jiuling to follow Tang Jiyao to southern Yunnan.Wang Jiuling still stayed in Kunming.

For scholars like Wang Jiuling, switching families is not a matter of betrayal.They need a stage, a stage to show their talents, so they can only rely on warriors.To attach to a warrior, they can only find the most powerful warrior.This may be the sorrow of scholars in this troubled world.

"How to say?"

"Duan Hefei's meaning is obvious. He doesn't want to see my Yunnan have a strong military force. He doesn't allow the Yunnan governor to have too much power, and doesn't allow Yunnan to have someone like the Tang governor again. If Brother Shengfu refuses to be the governor of Yunnan They will definitely appoint other people. For us, for Yunnan, Brother Shengfu is the most suitable. Since Duan Hefei is determined to separate the military and the government in Yunnan, and the military and the civilians, there must be a Governor. Others are here just to fight for power and profit with General Gu and the others. How can they take my Yunnan in their hearts. And if the conflict between Duan Hefei and General Gu intensifies, it is likely to cause another big war. This is very important for us in Yunnan No good."

xenophobic?

All provinces in China have this tendency, and Wang Jiuling is no exception.

Tang Jiyao was a hero, and he didn't dare to say that he could cover the sky with one hand in Yunnan, but he was caught by the military and government.When Tang Jiyao was here, who would dare to deal with Yunnan's political affairs without Tang Jiyao's consent.However, Gu Pinzhen is currently very busy cleaning up the internal problems of the Yunnan Army, and it is even more difficult to control the political situation in Yunnan.Therefore, compared to appointing other people as the governor of Yunnan, Wang Jiuling believes that Zhou Zhongyue, who is well-known in Yunnan, as the governor of Yunnan is more conducive to the stability of Yunnan.

Even if there is a conflict between Zhou Zhongyue and Gu Pinzhen in the future, since we are both from Yunnan, we can resolve it behind closed doors.

"Mr. Shengfu, I think so too."

Wang Youlan spoke.

"In the current situation, what we need in Yunnan is stability. Our Yunnan is a poor province, and we should not be aggressive. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is necessary to rectify it. This important task, I think I am the father of the South of Yunnan. belongs to."

scholars and soldiers.

There are completely two types, with different ideas and different interests.For the big bosses of the Yunnan Army, the army in their hands is their power.Therefore, even if some people are dissatisfied with Tang Jiyao's opium policy, they will not object.Because they also benefit from the process.For these scholars, the burden of so many troops in Yunnan is too serious.

"Yes."

"Mr. Shengfu, it must be you."

Everyone persuaded Zhou Zhongyue to accept the appointment.Zhou Zhongyue nodded slowly.Although it is difficult to make this determination, Zhou Zhongyue is also an aspiring scholar and cherishes this opportunity very much.

"master."

When Zhou Zhongyue was discussing with them whether to accept the post of governor of Yunnan, a servant from Zhou Zhongyue's family walked in.

"There is a person outside who claims to be Deng Hanxiang, Secretary-General of the Sichuan Governor's Mansion, and asks to see the master."

"Deng Hanxiang?"

"Yes."

Zhou Zhongyue stood up, and said to several people: "Sit down first, I'll go see Deng Hanxiang."

Gu Pinzhen was not good at neglecting Deng Hanxiang, and so was Zhou Zhongyue.Even if the military and political leaders in Yunnan are unwilling to admit it, there is no doubt that Duan Xun has reached into Yunnan.Duan Xun couldn't get around the matter in Yunnan, so Zhou Zhongyue and Gu Pinzhen couldn't neglect Deng Hanxiang.

107 Aftermath 3

"Mr. Shengfu (Zhou Zhongyue), my lord, Deng Hanxiang."

"General Deng, we met."

Deng Hanxiang is currently the busiest in Yunnan.

Because he represented Duan Xun and communicated with various factions in Yunnan.This time, I came to meet Zhou Zhongyue, Duan Qirui's newly appointed governor of Yunnan.In fact, two people have met, and not once or twice.Not only did the two meet each other when they were in Beijing, but Deng Hanxiang also met Zhou Zhongyue when he came to Yunnan.

But just seen it.

"Mr. Shengfu, Yunnan can have a governor like Mr. Shengfu. It is really a blessing for Yunnan and China."

Deng Hanxiang first complimented Zhou Zhongyue.

Zhou Zhongyue just smiled and didn't answer, making Deng Hanxiang a little embarrassed.However, Deng Hanxiang has been in contact with all kinds of people and encountered various embarrassing situations, so he doesn't care much.

He continued to smile and said, "Mr. Shengfu, I came today to discuss something with you."

"Please."

"Mr. Shengfu, our purpose of entering Yunnan this time is very simple, and I believe you know it. Our biggest purpose is to ban smoking and completely eradicate opium in Yunnan. However, we don't trust the police system in Yunnan. After all, Tang Jiyu has been in charge of it for many years. The chief of the Yunnan Police Department, and Tang Jiyu is the biggest opium dealer in Yunnan. We really can’t trust the Yunnan police in this situation.”

Zhou Zhongyue frowned instantly, and his face immediately turned ugly.

Then there were some unhappy words: "General Deng, General Duan (Duan Xun) is only the supervisor of the anti-smoking in the Southwest, at most it is to supervise our anti-smoking work in Yunnan. General Duan has no qualifications and no right to interfere with my Yunnan government affairs. What's more It is a personnel issue of the Yunnan Police Department, and General Duan cannot intervene. This is our own power in Yunnan, and it is a matter for the Yunnan government."

Although the current Yunnan can no longer ignore Duan Xun's influence, it can even be said that Duan Xun's meaning must be considered.But according to normal procedures, Duan Xun is not qualified to interfere in Yunnan's military and political affairs.Who is Zhou Zhongyue? He is a very principled person.How could Duan Xun be allowed to interfere in Yunnan government affairs.

Moreover, the Yunnan Police Department, which is a powerful department, cannot allow Duan Xun to interfere.So immediately there was very strong opposition.

"Mr. Shengfu, don't get me wrong."

Deng Hanxiang was still very calm, and said: "Our general has never thought of interfering in Yunnan's government affairs. Yunnan's government affairs are the affairs of the Yunnan Provincial Government, and our general will never interfere indiscriminately. All our generals are thinking about how to ban smoking , how to complete the task assigned by Prime Minister Duan. Therefore, all my work in Yunnan revolves around smoking bans. Mr. Shengfu, I am here today to tell the truth. As a big opium dealer, Tang Jiyu, how do you let us trust his subordinates? Police Department. Maybe there are a lot of people who followed Tang Jiyu in the opium business, so we have to rely on them to ban smoking. Mr. Shengfu, you must at least give us peace of mind, don’t you?”

Zhou Zhongyue was speechless.

Although Zhou Zhongyue cannot be said to be a moral gentleman, he has a deep obsession with moral cleanliness.But he is also a person who wants face, and he can't refute too much what Deng Hanxiang said.Because Tang Jiyu's opium business is so big, the Yunnan Police Department dare not say that he is an accomplice, and it is definitely not much better.Many senior leaders of the Yunnan Police Department have made a lot of money in the opium trade.

Because Tang Jiyu has been in Yunnan Police Department for many years, Yunnan Police Department does have many direct descendants of Tang Jiyu.

The police department is the most powerful department of the government and one of the most powerful departments.With the stability of the country, the construction of the legal system is getting more and more advanced, such as the status of procuratorates and courts will gradually improve.Judiciary will be more and more perfect.

But at this stage, the powers of the police department are astounding.He is not only a judicial department, but also the most powerful authority in the government department, and it is a violent institution in the government department to stabilize places.

This institution must be in its own hands.

So Zhou Zhongyue didn't know how to answer the conversation.If the Yunnan Police Department is controlled by Duan Xun, then the power of the governor of Yunnan will be cut in half immediately.Zhou Zhongyue stared at Deng Hanxiang and said, "General Deng, what do you mean..."

"Mr. Shengfu, how to build the Yunnan Police Department and how to arrange personnel are all Yunnan's own affairs, and our general will not interfere. But we hope that Mr. Shengfu can rectify the police system in Yunnan. There is also the southwest of our general. The status of the anti-smoking supervisor has a requirement for the Yunnan provincial government, and Mr. Wang Shengfu agreed."

"please say."

"Mr. Shengfu, the Yunnan provincial government also has an anti-smoking department. What our general means is to abolish this department. Because this department in Yunnan is just a decoration, it has no power at all, and it can't manage things at all. Therefore, we suggest that the Yunnan Police Department A Yunnan Anti-Smoking Bureau was established internally, but this department is under the command of the Southwest Anti-Smoking Supervision Bureau. The funds and weapons needed are all in charge of the Southwest Anti-Smoking Supervision Bureau.”

Zhou Zhongyue kept thinking about Deng Hanxiang's words.

No smoking bureau?

Duan Xun really knows how to do things.Clearly adding sand to the Yunnan Police Department, clearly interfering in the personnel arrangements of the Yunnan Police Department, but it can be said so grandly.It can also make you unable to grasp the handle.
