Beiyang reactionaries

Wang Yongjiang spoke.

financial.

Those warlords who put the Beijing government in their eyes.Even when Duan Xun was a local warlord, he did everything possible to default on national taxes.Even when Duan Qirui was the Prime Minister, Duan Xun used various excuses to delay paying the national tax. Instead, he used many excuses to ask for money from the central government.Such is the nature of warlords.

But things are different now.

The current situation is that Duan Xun has become the controller of the Beijing government, so the local government must not be allowed to withhold national taxes.This is how the ass decides the head, and what kind of policy is chosen in any position.

Of course it's not that easy, nor is it the most urgent.

Wang Yongjiang's biggest suggestion is that military spending should not exceed 30.00% of local finances.At present, Lu Yongxiang supports 20 troops, regardless of whether they are his own troops or not, he has to support them.Otherwise, those troops that were not direct descendants would have betrayed Lu Yongxiang long ago.

20 troops, the military expenditure is not a little bit.It is possible that the annual military expenditure reaches 5000 million, and with the addition of random expenses, the annual military expenditure accounts for more than 50.00% of the fiscal budget.

30.00%?

It took Lu Yongxiang's life.

First strip Lu Yongxiang of his government affairs management power, that is, deprive Lu Yongxiang of his financial power.Then it is stipulated that military expenditure cannot exceed 30.00% of the fiscal.

Step by step.

In fact, Duan Xun had long wanted to use the army to deal with Lu Yongxiang, but he didn't have enough excuses.

The current so-called persecution is, to put it bluntly, a test of Lu Yongxiang's bottom line.Once Duan Xun's persecution touched Lu Yongxiang's bottom line, then Lu Yongxiang would definitely resist.As long as Lu Yongxiang resisted, Duan Xun would justifiably destroy him.Regarding the use of military means, Duan Xun is not afraid of Lu Yongxiang at all.

Duan Xun nodded slowly and said: "Premier Dai and Premier Wang's suggestions are good. Since the 'separation of military and civilian rule' is to be implemented, there should be no posts in charge of local military and political affairs in the local area. The national policy runs counter to it. However, the establishment of the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy has historical reasons, and we cannot abolish this position arbitrarily. In this case, the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy will make him a military post. In the future, the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy will be in charge of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui The military work in the three provinces. And the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions are very important, let Lu Yongxiang concurrently serve as the deputy minister of the army."

Depriving Lu Yongxiang of his political power in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, of course, will give him a sweetener.That's why he was given the post of undersecretary of the Ministry of War in vain.

"Clarify the power of the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy, then the government agencies of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui will be directly under the cabinet's responsibility, and have nothing to do with the Yangtze River Patrol Envoy and the governors of the provinces. The work of the governors of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui will be reported directly to the cabinet. .”

"As for financial distribution, although each region has its own situation. It has been ten years since the end of the Revolution of 30.00, and the government should focus on construction. I think it should be reduced in military spending. Premier Wang said that military spending should not I think the proposal of exceeding [-]% of the fiscal budget is very good. We can also tell the European, American and Japanese countries that our government is a peace-loving country. We will not blindly increase military spending.”

"What do you think?"

Yang Yongtai nodded, but Yan Huiqing remained silent.

Five-person Cabinet Standing Committee.

Very simple.

It's easy to create a policy.This is the benefit of centralization, which is highly efficient.Military expenditure accounts for 30.00% of the fiscal budget, which sounds nice to say, but it is simply impossible in the current situation.Not to mention Lu Yongxiang, even Duan Xun is currently expanding the army, and the army will soon have a million troops in less than a year.

And the Air Force.

Not only did it purchase fighter jets and bombers from abroad, but it also continued to support aircraft manufacturers.Although the output is limited, currently Wuchang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant can manufacture hundreds of aircraft every year.

The real military expenditure is 50.00% of the fiscal.

But Duan Xun used various names to transfer funds from several places.Especially the tariffs from the customs side, and the Japanese loan side, Duan Xun made a lot of fake accounts.So on the bright side, the military expenditure is about 30.00%.

"Since there is no objection, Secretary-General Yang."

"Prime Minister."

"Collate the resolution of the meeting, several of us will sign it, and then announce it publicly."

341 Pressing Every Step 3

"Brother Xuexuan, we haven't seen each other for many years. How have you been all these years?"

"President, I'm fine."

Duan Xun is very polite.

But Chen Tiaoyuan looked sincere and fearful.

China's official-based culture has a long history, and this is something that no one can avoid.Just like the Chen Tiaoyuan in front of him, he and Duan Xun were classmates fifteen or sixteen years ago, and they both graduated from the predecessor of Baoding Military Academy.

Chen Tiaoyuan had mediocre grades when he was in school, but he was eloquent.

The relationship between Duan Xun and Chen Tiaoyuan can't be said to be very close, but it's not too bad either.It's just that the two people took different paths later.After leaving school, Chen Tiaoyuan went south to serve as an instructor at Wuchang Army Middle School, while Duan Xun studied in Japan.

After the Revolution of [-], Duan Xun, as a warlord of the Anhui Clique, left his position as an instructor at Baoding Military Academy and became Duan Qirui's favorite general.However, Chen Tiaoyuan did not participate in the Wuchang Uprising. Instead, he went north to defect to Feng Guozhang and became a very important talent for Feng Guozhang.

After Feng Guozhang died, he became an important general under the Jiangsu Governor Li Chun.

In the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War two years ago, Li Chun's troops were defeated by Lu Yongxiang.Many of the former Li Chun's Jiangsu troops surrendered to Lu Yongxiang, but there were also many Jiangsu troops who defected to Duan Xun's troops in Shandong, and even a few troops defected to Zhang Wensheng in Anhui.

Chen Tiaoyuan was not optimistic about Lu Yongxiang, so he defected to Duan Xun.

Of course there is also a little selfishness.

That is Duan Xun is Chen Tiaoyuan's classmate.In the current Duan Xun camp, there are many classmates of Duan Xun when he was in Baoding Military Academy.Starting from Jiang Hongyu, Shang Zhen and Liu Fengchi were all classmates of Chen Tiaoyuan.And there are a large number of Duan Xun's students, but many of those students are also Chen Tiaoyuan's students.

Because they graduated from Wuchang Army Middle School and then came to Baoding Military Academy.They were students of Duan Xun at Baoding Military Academy, but they were students of Chen Tiaoyuan at Wuchang Army Middle School.

For example, Wan Yaohuang, who is currently the principal of the Kulun Military Academy, and Deng Hanxiang, who Duan Xun holds in high esteem, are both students of Chen Tiaoyuan.Compared with Lu Yongxiang, Chen Tiaoyuan has more contacts on Duan Xun's side.That's why he chose to go to Duan Xun's side.

"Brother Xuexuan, when you were in Jiangsu, rectifying military discipline was very effective. I also heard about it when I was in the southwest."

"Prime Minister, I'm overwhelmed."

Chen Tiaoyuan shook his head and said: "When I was in charge of the military police, the effect of rectifying military discipline was not very good. There was a lot of thunder and little rain. Neither Feng Hejian (Feng Guozhang) nor Li Dujun (Li Chun) were firm. The idea of ​​rectifying military discipline. When Feng Hejian was here, what he was most worried about was the whip commander (Zhang Xun) who was entrenched in Xuzhou, and he was worried about conflicts with him. So rectifying military discipline, but it was impossible to rectify the braided army with the worst military discipline. Every time I and There was a conflict between the whip commander's troops, and Feng Hejian kept things quiet. And Li Dujun served as the Jiangsu governor, and the situation of misappropriating military expenses was serious. The army under him didn't have military pay, so how could military discipline be good. Li Dujun himself didn't pay the military salary properly, of course he was also embarrassed Rectify military discipline. So the gendarmerie I was in charge of at the time was just a decoration.”

Chen Tiaoyuan served as the head of the military police in Jiangsu for a long time.

Mainly responsible for rectifying military discipline.

But not so.Zhang Xun was stationed in Xuzhou, Jiangsu in his early years, and his troops had very poor military discipline.But Zhang Xun had a high status and great prestige in the Beiyang Army at that time, and he was a very difficult person to mess with.Therefore, every time Zhang Xun's troops violated military discipline, and Chen Tiaoyuan wanted to rectify it, Feng Guozhang would get along with him and didn't want to conflict with Zhang Xun.As for Li Chun being the governor of Jiangsu, there are more problems.If you don't pay the troops below, how can you have the nerve to rectify their military discipline.Therefore, the military discipline of the troops in Jiangsu has not been very good.

And in front of Duan Xun, he was too embarrassed to talk about rectifying military discipline.

Who doesn't know that Duan Xun's army emphasizes discipline the most.Since Duan Xun led the army, the military discipline of Duan Xun's troops is the best in the Chinese army.

"Brother Xuexuan, I think you should be able to guess what the cabinet is going to do now."

Chen Tiaoyuan didn't answer the call.

Because it's obvious.

It should be said that not only Chen Tiaoyuan, but almost everyone can guess it.Since the cabinet implemented the "divide military and civilian rule", everyone knows what the cabinet wants to do.Because the general direction of the "military-civilian divide" policy is good, but the cabinet is obviously targeting Lu Yongxiang.Xinjiang and Fengtian haven't changed much, Shanxi's influence is too low, and everyone doesn't care.Only the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions controlled by Lu Yongxiang have changed the most.

Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao.

"Brother Xuexuan, I need your help."
