Beiyang reactionaries

Because you simply don't have the strength to bargain with others.

Do not agree?

beat you.

If you still don't agree, I will continue to beat you.Until you say yes.There were so many treaties in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Although there were reasons why they did not understand modern diplomacy, most of them were beaten by others, and they had no leverage to negotiate with others.

Let's talk about the Paris Peace Conference.

None of the personnel sent by China has returned from studying in Europe and the United States, and many of them have obtained the qualifications of lawyers in Europe and the United States.Even they have been in the field of diplomacy since the end of Qing Dynasty, and each of them is a diplomatic talent.He is very familiar with international law, and is even no worse than diplomats from European and American countries in terms of ability.

But what's the use.

People, Britain, France and Japan don't take you seriously at all, and don't give you a chance to negotiate.They figured everything out on their own.

This is negotiation.

If you want to negotiate, you must have a bargaining chip, otherwise it is not a negotiation.Just like every time Duan Xun negotiated with Japan and asked Japan to make one step, Duan Xun would make ten steps.Because Duan Xun has too few chips in his hand.

The same goes for royal negotiations.

Where does the royal family have chips.

Compared with Duan Xun, the royal family basically can't play any cards.Compared with Duan Xun, there are ways to persecute the royal family, and even threaten the royal family.After Xu Shichang intervened, the negotiations between the two sides quickly achieved results.

On July 1921, 7, the Beijing government and the Qing Dynasty signed a new contract to "amend the preferential treatment conditions for the Qing Dynasty".

There are many contents.

But there are five main clauses.

The first item is that Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty will permanently abolish the emperor's title since signing this new contract, and he will become an ordinary citizen of the Republic of China from then on.Enjoy the same legal rights as the nationals of the Republic of China.

The second item, starting from the signing of this contract, the 400 million government appropriation of the Republic of China that was originally used to clean up the house was immediately cancelled.However, the government promised that the poor in the Eight Banners will be given priority in the government-controlled land and government factories.

The third item, starting from the signing of this contract, within half a month, you can leave the Forbidden City before August 1921, 8, and you can choose your own place of residence.The former guards of the Forbidden City were incorporated into the Beijing Garrison, under the command of the Beijing Garrison Headquarters.Former royal staff, those who are willing to follow the royal family can continue to follow, those who are willing to be dismissed can choose to leave, and those who are willing to stay and work in the Forbidden City can be incorporated into the Forbidden City Management Committee.

The fourth item, the government of the Republic of China guaranteed the safety of the ancestral temple mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, and the government set up a police force to properly protect it.

Fifth item, the government of the Republic of China guarantees that the private property of the Qing Dynasty will be fully enjoyed by the Qing Dynasty, and the safety of the personnel of the Qing Dynasty will be guaranteed.However, the Qing Dynasty can only take away its own private property. Everything in the Forbidden City is owned by the government and handed over to the Forbidden City Management Committee.

"it is good."

Duan Xun was in a good mood looking at this contract.

The history of the Qing Dynasty is completely over.With the signing of this contract, the title of Emperor Xuantong has completely become history.The Beijing government can save nearly 2000 million yuan each year, and Duan Xun will get more than [-] million yuan from the process of cleaning up the Forbidden City.

There can be 3000 million before and after.

"Mr. Sutra, you have worked hard."

"No."

Dong Kang waved his hand.

But I am proud of it.Although Dong Kang was a manchu official, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did.History is developing, and there is no need for the royal family to continue to exist.

The end of the history of the Manchu and Qing royal families this time will also be able to leave a name in history in the future.

"Prime Minister, what do you see next?"

Dong Kang asked Duan Xun cautiously.

It has been more than two years since Dong Kang defected to Duan Xun, and he has already made some judgments about Duan Xun.Perhaps because of his military background, Duan Xun has a very strong "arbitrary" style.And also very vigorous.

Although he would not casually intervene in the work of the subordinates, he also respected the opinions of his generals.But as long as Duan Xun decides on one thing, Duan Xun will complete it no matter what.

From the beginning of the investigation of the restoration case, Dong Kang knew a little bit.

That is, Duan Xun had a complete idea long ago.Dong Kang is a smart bureaucrat who understands that he cannot replace Duan Xun in deciding anything.Duan Xun will definitely make big moves next, and Dong Kang needs to follow Duan Xun's advice.

"Publish the facts of the Restoration case. Identify the main culprits, accomplices, accomplices, etc. The Department of Justice stepped up and convicted them."

"Prime Minister, we have already reached a preliminary conclusion in this regard."

As Dong Kang said, he took out a document from his bag and handed it to Duan Xun.

Duan Xun took over.

Dong Kang is very smart.Compared to Xu Qian, Dong Kang knew what he was going to do.Maybe Dong Kang is not a person in the legal profession, or a "judicial talent" who is good in the eyes of those scholars, or a fair and just "judicial talent".Even in the eyes of those scholars, Dong Kang is definitely not a gentleman, and his political integrity is not very good.But Duan Xun needs Dong Kang more than Xu Qian, because Dong Kang knows how to be an official.

Especially Weng Jingtang.

This man is a stubborn ass.Very capable, but stubborn, daring to touch various cases.Under Xu Qian, Xu Qian couldn't control this person at all, he could only use the power of the chief justice to suppress Weng Jingtang.

But Dong Kang is not.

Not only using Weng Jingtang, but also using Weng Jingtang skillfully.Not only let Weng Jingtang do things, but also guide things to what he needs.In terms of being an official, people like Xu Qian and Weng Jingtang are far from Dong Kang's opponents.

"So many former Eight Banners nobles were involved?"

"Yes."

Zhang Xun was restored.

Originally, Duan Xun thought that only some clans were involved, but he did not expect that many Eight Banners nobles were also involved.Not only many Eight Banners nobles were involved, but also many Han ministers.As long as this kind of thing is investigated, it is indeed astonishingly involved.

It's not just Beijing.

There are also many local governors who jumped up and down restlessly during the restoration case.

"These people push back, don't treat them as the main culprit and the accomplice."

Duan Xun wrote down his opinion while watching.

Some people are the main offenders and accomplices, but Duan Xun doesn't want to touch them.Because many of them were big men of the Beiyang Army, and even many of them were once big men of the Anhui Clique, and they all participated in the restoration case at that time, and some were even one of the very active masterminds of the restoration case.But no matter how Duan Xun was born, he was a warlord of the Anhui Clan. If they ransacked their homes, it would not be a good time.

There are also some Han ministers.

Don't look like they are old or young, but those people have a deep relationship with the powerful faction of the Beiyang Army.Relying on various marriage relationships, each interest relationship is complicated.Duan Xun didn't want to move these people for the time being.

law?

At a time when China is moving from imperial power to a republic, laws are the least valuable.Because the current legal system is not perfect at all, if you do everything according to the so-called law, then you can't do anything.

That's why Sun Yat-sen came up with his country-building strategy.

It follows a three-step strategy of military administration, political training, and constitutional administration.Because he also saw that what China needs at this stage is not such things as democracy, law, and freedom, but to unify China's government and military orders first.
