Beiyang reactionaries

But before entering Shaanxi, Duan Xun met Wu Yuzhang again.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think?"

"General Duan, what you said is reasonable, but I don't completely agree with it. I still think that quantity is very important. If there are more people studying abroad, some people will definitely be able to learn something. But since the general does not support the establishment of a preparatory course for studying in France in Sichuan School, I don't insist either."

Wu Yuzhang did not fully agree with Duan Xun's opinion.

and candidly express their opinions.

"Mr. Wu, we each have our own ideas, and we can seek common ground while reserving differences. I don't force you, and you don't force me. But I am opposed to studying in France for a work-study program, which does not mean that I am opposed to the establishment of a preparatory school for studying in France. I want to establish a preparatory school for studying abroad in Chengdu. , can be divided into English class, French class, American class, Japanese class, and Soviet class. Let our students learn foreign languages ​​before studying abroad.”

"this is okay."

Wu Yuzhang nodded.

There are several ways for Chinese students to study abroad.Either they graduated from some preparatory schools in China, that is, schools established in China by European and American countries.They will accept foreign language learning at school, and they can easily adapt after studying abroad.However, for most international students, the first thing to do after going abroad is to learn a foreign language before entering school.

Speaking of which, there are still many people in the latter category.

Therefore, it is indeed a very good thing to be able to set up a preparatory school specially prepared for foreign students and let them learn foreign languages ​​in advance.

"Mr. Wu, do you accept my proposal?"

"General Duan, I am willing to let me be the supervisor of studying abroad. But there is one thing I hope General Duan can agree to."

"Please say."

"I hope that in the annual financial plan, a separate fund for international students can be used as funding."

Duan Xun didn't win immediately, but thought about it.

Because it is not as simple as simply transferring funds.Once this matter is agreed, Wu Yuzhang's overseas study supervision department will be independent of the education department.But Duan Xun thought about it and thought it was not bad.After all, those international students need financial guarantees.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Wu, I agree to this. I need to discuss the specific number. Of course, I also need to make a decision based on the number of international students."

"Of course."

"Mr. Wu, you have returned from studying in France. You must have a lot of contacts in France. I hope you can contact some formal French universities and let our students study there. You can also contact universities in Britain, the United States and Japan. Is the tuition more expensive? As long as there is a place where you can learn knowledge, there will be no problem. There is also the establishment of a preparatory school for studying abroad as soon as possible to lay a good foundation for our students who are going to study abroad."

"General, this is my job, and I will not delay."

"it is good."

Duan Xun thought for a while and said: "Mr. Wu, I have something to leave Sichuan right now. After I leave, I can talk to the Minister of Education Zhuangyuan Gong (Luo Chengxiang) about this matter. If there is something urgent, please contact me , then you can find Lu Zuofu."

"Yes."

187 into Shaanxi

"General, Chongqing Telegram."

"say what."

"The new Congress over there in Beijing has come out."

"The results of it?"

On August 1918, 8, a new Congress was formed in the House of Representatives.This is the new Congress re-elected by Duan Qirui after he announced last year that he would replace the Congress with a provisional Senate.The birth of the new Congress can be regarded as a matter of concern to China at present.

After all, this is Congress.

Once a new Congress is elected, then this will be China's new organ of power.Moreover, after a new congress is elected, it will be able to confront the current "special congress" in Guangdong with legal principles.

"It is said that the new Congress elected this time is the 'Anfu Congress'. Prime Minister Duan's Anfu family members account for more than 80.00% of the seats in this Congress. Premier Duan should be able to easily control this Congress, and the power of the Beijing government is still in power. In the hands of Prime Minister Duan."

Bai Jianwu reported to Duan Xun.

Among Duan Xun's most valued secretaries, Lu Zuofu was sent by Duan Xun to the construction project of the Chongqing Industrial Park as a contact person between the government and the construction department.It is also for Lu Zuofu to learn from others how to build an industrial park. After accumulating enough experience, it will be of great use in the future.As for Zhang Sike, he stayed in Chongqing to help Duan Xun pay attention to the "underground" things in Sichuan.

Only Bai Jianwu followed Duan Xun.

Duan Xun has just left Chongqing for a few days, and he has been paying attention to the news from Beijing on the way.

"Where is Liang Qichao's Progressive Party?"

"Basically the whole army was wiped out."

Duan Xun frowned.

I'm really not very satisfied with Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng.What politics is, is to increase the number of people who support you and reduce the number of people who oppose you.In fact, to put it bluntly, we should unite more people.As a superior, or a group, when the power is not completely stable, it is necessary to unite more people.

But Duan Qirui is a little too much in this respect, or has many weaknesses.

Recently, Duan Qirui first made Zhang Jingyao the governor of Hunan, which angered Cao Kun and Wu Peifu.Immediately afterwards, Duan Qirui asked his brother-in-law Wu Guangxin, who was also one of his Four King Kongs, to serve as the governor of Henan, robbing the position of Zhao Ti, the boss of Yijun.

This is not good for Duan Qirui.

Although Zhang Jingyao and Wu Guangxin are Duan Qirui's closest descendants, one of them serves as the governor of Hunan and the other serves as the governor of Henan. It is true that Duan Qirui's strength has greatly increased on the surface.

But actually?

After angering Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, Wu Peifu gave Duan Qirui a knife at the most important moment.On the front line of Hengyang, an armistice agreement was reached privately with the Hunan and Guangdong Army, and a power call was sent to negotiate a peace, which frustrated Duan Qirui's "unification by force" at the most important moment.As for Cao Kun, needless to say, this is the real boss of the Beiyang Army, second only to Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang in strength.It is really unwise to offend such a person.

And what about Zhao Ti?

joke.

The Yi Army's status in the late Qing Dynasty was as important as Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army, and it had always been a self-contained system.Although Yijun began to decline later, the boss of Yijun also became Yuan Shikai's man.However, Yi Jun's system has always been relatively independent, especially the personnel issues are still in the hands of Yi Jun boss.

Zhao Ti was the leader of Yijun when he suppressed the Shaanxi Revolutionary Party in the late Qing Dynasty.Now Zhao Ti is the person in charge of Yi Jun, who is very powerful in Henan, and the Yi Jun under him also directly belongs to Zhao Ti.As well as the Henan Army, which has been stationed in Henan for these years, was also built by Zhao Ti.Therefore, although Duan Qirui handed over the position of Henan Governor to Wu Guangxin, the Yi Army is still there, and the Henan Army built by Zhao Ti is still there.Although Wu Guangxin was not a member of Duan Qirui's direct line before, he was not of any other faction either.If you are doing this now, you are pushing Zhao Ti away and making Zhao Ti Duan Qirui's enemy.

People who only promote themselves like this will definitely offend many other factions.Speaking of the whole of China, although Duan Qirui's Anhui faction is the strongest, it is not the only one, nor does it mean that it can suppress all other factions.If so, Duan Qirui would have unified China long ago.Under such circumstances, I really don't know what to say to offend so many middle factions.

And this time.

Duan Qirui and Liang Qichao have been political allies in recent years, and Liang Qichao's Progressive Party has always supported Duan Qirui in Congress.Duan Qirui's "unification by force" policy has been opposed and criticized by many people.

But Liang Qichao still supported Duan Qirui despite being criticized.Even in the previous "contest between Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong", Liang Qichao was on Duan Qirui's side.

But now?

After running out of others, he organized the "Anfu Club" himself, and after using the "Anfu Department" to control the Congress, he kicked Liang Qichao away.Liang Qichao's Progressive Party was almost completely annihilated in the congressional elections, which is too dishonest.In this way, who would be willing to work hard for Duan Qirui and the Anhui Clan in the future.

Duan Xun couldn't help scratching his head.

"Prime Minister Duan will definitely be criticized for doing this."

Duan Xun had a headache.
