However, whenever you sell yourself, you must take a step back and take a step back. You just say "I am not a good person to sell your skills" so that you can sell it at a good price. Therefore, the negotiations between the two sides have not been reached. Cao Ming and Chen Yunjie also called several times to "take leave" and "resign". In the final condition, Liu Jingxiao has finally figured out the inside story of the agreement between the two sides because of Wang Bincheng, a big brother in the direct base camp.

In fact, the price offered by Duan Tiemin can be said to be neither high nor low. In addition to some real benefits, the most important thing he promised was to hand over the position of Vice President to Cao Ming. Since the Republic, the position of Vice President has been a position that is neither high nor low. Although it is lower than that of the President and Prime Minister, when the President cannot exercise his position, the Vice President will definitely take over.

And there is an unwritten practice, that is, the vice president can go to Beijing to take office, and he is happy in his own defense zone with the vice president as the governor. Before Feng Li took office, he also wanted to take over the position of President Su as the president. After failing, he wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, but in the end he ended in vain and had to take office in Beijing.

Since the Republic, it has been claimed to be a "democratic election", so the position of this vice president is just a promise to wait for Cao Ming to make a great contribution in Hunan to elect him as vice president. However, the current parliament is controlled by Duan Dang, as the "Anfu Congress", and the backbone of Anfu Congress is Xu Youzheng. At that time, Duan Tiemin made a statement, and the members of the parliament have all been surrounded by Cao Ming's name.

However, the vice president was in charge of the military commander (in fact, Cao Ming served as the vice president as the inspector, and served as the vice president), and naturally formed a political center in the capital. This was always something Duan Tiemin and Feng Li didn't like, so Duan Tiemin gritted his teeth and accepted it. He eventually made great concessions to the military commander. In his eyes, this was completely unprincipled to the military commander.

The most important point is the issue of Xu Youzheng's resignation that the government has long requested. Duan is a very miserable person. He cannot live without his backbone Xu Youzheng. He was the prime minister for one day and wanted Xu Youzheng to be his secretary-general of the court.

But the president's most disgusted with is Xu Youzheng. The struggle between the two sides can be said to be in dire straits. For the sake of the great cause of the Southern Expedition, Premier Duan had no choice but to bear the pain of giving up.

Xu Youzheng took his resignation and went to the presidential palace to ask the president to stamp the seal. Feng Li has always been the person with the easiest to shake his determination. When he saw Xu Youzheng's face, he felt a little regretful. He seemed to be afraid that there would be a lack of someone to quarrel in the future. After saying that, Youzheng spoke a lot and repeatedly expressed his intention to keep him.

Xu Youzheng's intention to leave was decided, and in the end Feng asked him to be the presidential office, but Xu did not agree. This was because Duan had already made arrangements for his whereabouts, and Rouran's border affairs were not constantly in a hurry (this was out of the mouth of Premier Duan, and it seemed that there must be no mistakes). So, is Youzheng's name of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force? Let him take charge of the preparations for the Northwest Frontier Defense Force!

Afterwards, I realized that this was Duan Tiemin's trick. Duan Tiemin felt that although he was the head of the E clan, he did not have a unit that absolutely obeyed him. Although he was the leader of the princes, he did not have a quick sword in his hand. Everyone listened to Xuan but not to the tune. Seeing his good show, it was only the five or six divisions.

During this southern expedition, the Eighth Division and the Twentieth Division, which belonged to the Hubei Division, were severely damaged. Now Duan Tiemin had no choice but to transfer another 23rd Division of the Majesty Division in his hand to the south. Su Hanqiu's 22nd Division was historically the backbone of the Hubei Army. It was formerly the New Seventh Brigade outside the Frontier, and its combat effectiveness was also ranked first.

Another advantageous thing is that the 23rd Division was stationed in Hunan for a long history and is considered a heritage of the Hunan Army. There are many Hunan people in the troops in the current army, which will definitely be beneficial to Hunan.

However, often the Prime Minister of a country, the supreme leader of the Hubei clan, worked hard to piece together these several divisions that obeyed the orders, and finally had to rely on the Zhi army to carry out the "aishou" campaign (although it was a southern expedition, the north would never admit that it was just "aishoushou" and it would mean to announce but not fight). After this, Premier Duan was embarrassed to meet people. Since this was the case, Duan Tiemin thought of preparing to build a new army.

The Northwest Frontier Defense Forces have initially planned to prepare for a training regiment and then expand it later. As long as it expands into several divisions that can fight and fight, plus the current troops, then the great cause of unification will be completed forever.

He estimated that the Northwest Frontier Defense Force could be organized into six divisions, each with two brigades and four regiments, one artillery regiment, one cavalry regiment, and one battalion of baggage engineers. The commander tried to find top students who graduated from the Mainland University, and all the officers and backbones were students of Baoding. Moreover, the unit he wanted to train was not a private army, but a "national army" under the banner of "protecting the country". Of course, the representative of this "country" is our hard-working Prime Minister Duan.

Because he attached great importance to the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, he had to find a general to take charge of himself. The most powerful general under his command was Xu Youzheng.

Duan Tiemin also tried his best to take care of the treatment and equipment of the participating troops. Not to mention anything else, each division's artillery regiment has 54 heavy artillery units under the Third Battalion, and the military pay and treatment are superior. Xu Youzheng wants to be confident in training this unit into the most elite unit in the history of the Republic.

It is difficult to train such a unit. Although Premier Duan is a name for power, he is absolutely 100% qualified in terms of integrity. His family is in trouble, and although he is not free from food and clothing, he is also very simple. It was not until the most difficult time that he was willing to borrow a 1,800 yuan temporary turnover truck from various banks in Peking, and then returned it to the bank with a small amount of interest.

Premier Duan's requirements for his family are quite strict. Premier Duan's sons and ladies are not in politics or business, and they are highly praised by the public. And whenever someone gives gifts to Duan's mansion, Premier Duan, who was in power for the first time, accepted them, but only picked out one or two items with the lowest price, indicating that they had already reached their hearts and returned them. Afterwards, they also gave them back the items of the same price. If they really couldn't refuse, he said, "Brother, aren't you going to let the blame? Just get the idea. I'll give you goose feathers thousands of miles away. Your affection is my heart!"

But such a person who is not greedy or possessive is surprisingly important in terms of power. For the sake of the dispute between the government and the court, he could not say a word in the presidential palace for half an hour, and the two of them were sulking there with a calm face.

Power is the most corrosive thing. Now, Duan Tiemin had the idea of ​​compiling the Northwest Frontier Defense Forces in order to have his own selfish thoughts.

But even though he had this plan, he still lacked the most important thing. This thing was all over the world and had unlimited magical powers, but Duan Tiemin was the most lacking in money.

All provinces have the hobby of withholding funds from Beijing on their own. This one says "economic difficulties" and "defense is important". In short, if you can pay less, you should pay less. Anyway, the Chinese have a concept of not ruling the majority. So many provinces will fight against the central government together, and it depends on what you, one of you, the prime minister and the other president!

Finally, in view of the Prime Minister and the President of the Direct Department, the amount of money to be transferred to Beijing in a normal year is only a deficit of several million yuan, but it is absolutely impossible to train such a new army without tens of millions of yuan.

The purchase of arms and equipment requires spending money out like flowing, but the tax source that Premier Duan can really control is the Chongwenmen Taxation Bureau. This is a large income, which can earn as much as 200,000 to 300,000 yuan per month, and the taxes in Zhangjiakou can also be firmly controlled. As for other income, most of the taxes on the custody and salt were mortgaged to maritime merchants as a guarantee for the issuance of public debts. There are many intercepts in local taxation, but if you train the Sixth Division troops, you won’t be able to pay a monthly salary of one million yuan.

After thinking about it, he never thought of a good idea. However, the former Secretary-General of the Government Ding Quanfeng made President Duan a hurry. It turned out that the Ambassador to Albion sent an urgent message to report that if Albion sent troops to participate in the battle due to his relationship with Cape, if China sent troops to participate in the war, he would be willing to jointly borrow 80 million Chinese currencies with various countries.

Ding Quanwu repeatedly persuaded Duan Tiemin to take the opportunity to train the new army to participate in the Cape Campaign. He advised him to train the army with the scale of the Northwest Frontier Defense Forces. In addition, in order to attract our country to participate in the war against Cape, Ayangbiang made great profits and still gained 20 to 30 million yuan. With this money, he could repair two steel mills and subsidize local railways to build several railways...

Ding Quanwei was very economically wise. He talked about how to spend the money one by one. One of his steel mills was planned to be built in Pukou and the other in Fengtian... Duan Tiemin praised it very much and finally decided to borrow money from various countries.

Ding Quanwei thought this matter had been successful, but he stayed at home for a few days but didn't hear an echo. He went to the Prime Minister's Office to ask. As soon as he arrived at the State Council, he saw the new secretary-general of the Court Ouyang Xin. When Ouyang Xin saw Ding Quanwei, he held his hand and shouted: "Qiuan, you must come... Others can't persuade the Prime Minister!"

Ding Quan was surprised and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ouyang Xin said: "The Prime Minister wants to borrow 50 million from the Liefeng people to prepare for the southern expedition in the name of compiling the Northwest Frontier Defense Forces..."

Ding Quanwei was shocked and realized for a long time. He shouted: "What's going on! Didn't the Prime Minister agree to borrow Albion's money?"

Ouyang Xin explained the cause and effect in detail. It turned out that the day after Ding Quan left, the Liefengren also came to persuade Duan Tiemin to borrow money from them to train a war army to join the Western Cape. However, the Liefengren had limited financial resources and could only borrow 50 million yuan. They had to use central tariffs as a guarantee, and the interest was higher than that of Albion.

So even though Duke Liefeng was so full of trouble, Duan Tiemin was still sloppy, but in the end, Duke Liefeng's words moved him: "Your country often said: It is neither safe nor resistant to foreign countries. Your country's great cause of expedition in the south has not been achieved, so our country's loans are of some use. Albion's money to train the new army must send troops to the West. All new army trained by our country is controlled by Premier Duan."

This is really a key point in Duan Tiemin. He was as if he had been infected with an ecstasy. Under Xu Youzheng's instigation, he decided to borrow 50 million yuan from Liefeng to prepare for the Northwest Frontier Defense Force and the participating troops.

When Ding Quanfeng heard about this, he was really sad and angry. He ignored Ouyang Xin and ran into the signing room quickly. He saw that the ink traces of the documents had not dried. Duan Tiemin and Xu Youzheng laughed. The short minister Liefeng also had a smile on his face, but his face was deep, but he had hidden many conspiracies.

Looking closely at Duan Xu and the others, they were full of confidence and a little excited. They seemed to have been hit by the Liefeng people's maze. Seeing this, Ding Quan knew that it was useless to be impatient, and he was angry and hated. He turned around and left. He thought to himself: "This is really a big mistake that Ji Jiuzhou's iron made... China will have a big disaster!"
