    Ji Jinchun¡¯s words are very correct, that is, no matter whether the restoration is successful or not, the 28th Division will support the country. As for whether the national system is a republic or a monarchy, he does not consider it.  Although he held a discordant attitude, he actually voted against it.  Everyone knows with their toes that without foreign aid, it would be strange for Zhang Xun's 5,000 men to achieve restoration alone.

    Zhang Hanqing is well aware of this farce, and he has made great efforts for it.  In order to light up the fire as soon as possible, Zhang Zuolin threatened Li Yuanhong by phone again on the 30th, saying that if he "wants to protect himself and does not have ambitions, he should lead the children of Liaodong to go straight to the capital."  Wu Junsheng did not participate in this action against the Central Government due to illness.  When Wu Yingzong was summoned to serve, the work was done and he did not object.

    Regarding Li Yuanhong¡¯s opposition and support for Duan Qirui, Zhang Zuolin not only paid lip service to it, but also put Duan Qirui¡¯s proposal of ¡°autonomy¡± for each province into practice.

    In order to demonstrate to the Central Committee, he fabricated a list of soldiers who had left the Central Committee and invited Wu to sign, and Wu Junsheng also signed. Zhang then used this to send calls to various places, saying that the military circles in Feng Province were unanimous and there was no doubt about it.  Although there is some sense of self-deception, but inadvertently, all the important people outside the customs are following Lao Zhang's lead.

    This is the first time that Lao Zhang has emerged politically.

    Although Li Yuanhong extended an olive branch, Zhang Zuolin, under the strong request of Zhang Hanqing, who was "well versed in history", continued to hold on to Duan Qirui's thigh, clearly energized Duan to oppose Li, and jointly announced the autonomy of Fengtian and Heilongjiang with Bao Guiqing.

    The autonomy at that time was just a political signal: the "Southeast Mutual Protection" that opposed Cixi's declaration of war with the Eight Powers in the late Qing Dynasty was a form of autonomy so that the chaos in Beijing would not affect itself

    When the Revolution of 1911 was successful, the provinces that were confused about the situation began to govern themselves. This not only showed loyalty to the Qing Dynasty - we did not take advantage of the situation, but also gave an explanation to the rebels - we did not help the evildoers This matter  Zhang Zuolin did it;

    The form used by the provincial governors who opposed Yuan Shikai when he became emperor was also autonomy. This was the plan of the already powerful governors to consolidate their status. As long as they were autonomous, the central government would not be able to control it.  Naturally, the power of financial and personnel appointment and removal was delegated to the provinces Zhang Zuolin also did this;

    Now, Lao Zhang once again raises the banner of "autonomy," but this time the autonomy will be more complete.

    After autonomy, the work of each department in the province no longer corresponds to the national cabinet department, but is responsible to the provincial governor.  The governor of Fengtian is Zhang Zuolin, which is nothing to say; but the governor of Heilongjiang Province is Bao Guiqing. Although he was promoted by Zhang Zuolin with a gun, but with such favorable resources, who knows whether he will support another Zhang Zuolin?

    Because Bao Guiqing also serves as the governor of the Black Province.

    Although this military governor has little power for the time being, and his two divisions are at Zhang Zuolin's disposal, Zhang Zuolin is still worried.  Although the Black Province is small, Bao is also the nominal military and political leader, and he has great righteousness.  However, because the black province also needs to be "autonomous", he can't interfere too much in name. Over time, it is inevitable that there will be evil moths, even though Bao Guiqing is Zhang Zuolin's son and daughter.

    Knowing Zhang Zuolin's distress, Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "This problem is easy to handle. Didn't we separate military and political affairs before? At that time, we restricted military generals from interfering in politics. Now we still follow the principle of separation of military and political affairs, but the restriction is that senior political officials will not interfere.  Military. It will become a common practice that the governor and governor of a province cannot serve at the same time. It would be fine if my father voluntarily resigned from the post of governor. With this attitude, what else can Governor Bao say? His governor and governor can only live in the same place.  One of them, otherwise, I will mobilize public opinion and drown him with spittle."

    Lao Zhang still believes in Zhang Hanqing¡¯s ability.  If he takes the lead in setting an example, Bao Guiqing will find it hard to be embarrassed to hold on to two positions due to the situation.  However, between the governor and the provincial governor, which one would Lao Bao choose?

    Moreover, I finally got the absolute power of Fengtian military and political. Now I suddenly take the initiative to let go. Will anyone take the opportunity to weaken themselves?  Zhang Zuolin didn't think it was a big deal just to be the governor of Hei Province, but he still valued the governor of Fengtian. After all, this laid the foundation for his own business, and it was still a big deal to put such important resources in the hands of others.  I'm very worried - are there any means of supervision?

    Knowing his concerns, Zhang Hanqing raised his hand and said: "Father is afraid that he will not be able to control Heilongjiang Province after self-government, right? We can unite for 'autonomy' and just set up a 'Fenghei Autonomous Committee'. Father will give up Fengtian Province."  As the chairman of this committee, he can legitimately control the governors of the two provinces. In the future, other provinces will do the same thing. Otherwise, my father will use his position as the governor of Fengtian to interfere in the affairs of the black province.  There will always be excuses.

      The situation inside and outside the customs is going through twists and turns. My father is concerned about the safety of the Northeast, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about trivial matters.  Minyuan's drastic actions were very successful, and he was the perfect candidate to take over as the governor of Fengtian. In this way, his father could rest assured and be able to look at the problem from a high perspective, killing two birds with one stone.  "

    Minyuan is Wang Yongjiang, who is now Zhang Zuolin's most trusted confidant and capable candidate.  He was very much in line with Zhang Hanqing's wishes for the reform of the military and police, so he relied heavily on Zhang Hanqing.

    This method is good, both famous and practical.  He looked at Zhang Hanqing, how could this kid have so many tricks, but every trick is so endearing!

    So while Zhang Zuolin was pressing Li Yuanhong step by step, he was also intensively preparing for the "Fenghei Autonomous Committee".  Needless to say, the entire structure is based on Zhang Hanqing's ideas.

    This committee has specific business committees that correspond to various departments in the province.  For example, both provinces have finance departments, financial departments (Heilongjiang¡¯s structure is based on Fengtian), tax authorities, etc. How can they be unified and controlled?  Just enlarge the original Fengtian Financial and Economic Committee into the Fenghei Financial and Economic Committee. The director of this committee actually does similar things to the ministers of the Central Committee, but he does not have the corresponding reputation. He only oversees the two provinces of Fengtian and Heilongjiang.  specific business.

    The same applies to the Fenghei Judicial Committee, the Fenghei Police Committee, the Fenghei Agricultural Committee, etc.  Zhang Zuolin established more than a dozen joint committees under the "Autonomous Committee" to form a matrix management structure together with the governors of each province.  The top level of this matrix is ??Zhang Zuolin, the chairman of the Fenghei Autonomous Committee.  In the future, when they occupy more territory, these people will be the candidates for the future heads of departments. It can be regarded as cultivating talents in advance.

    Of course, the directors of each committee are concurrently held by the current directors of various departments in Fengtian. Those who are close to Zhu are better.  The business backbones in Fengtian control the affairs of Heilongjiang Province. As long as Zhang Zuolin seizes these committee directors, he will completely control the administrative power of Fengtian and Heilongjiang provinces.

    However, Zhang Hanqing still found some real opportunities. Like the Department of Agriculture and Forestry, he used the excuse that agriculture is currently the basis of the Northeast economy and agriculture is closely related to water conservancy. Therefore, it is necessary to appoint someone who can simultaneously introduce capital and technology in agricultural water conservancy and understand his current situation.  The leader of the Northeast's land reform spirit pushed Mo Dehui to the top administrative levels of Feng Province, serving concurrently as the director of the newly established Department of Agriculture and Department of Water Resources.

    This position is not as lucrative as finance, police, finance, transportation and other departments. Most people do not realize that this is Zhang Hanqing making detours for his people.  With the experience accumulated in this position, there is every opportunity to move to a unit of the same level in the future. After all, this is also a department-level unit.  Unlike his job as director of the Fengtian Investment Promotion Bureau, he has too much power but little weight in the government.

    This is also a little compensation from Lao Zhang for his son¡¯s hard work.

    After everything was decided, Zhang Zuolin solemnly sent a message to the outside world, expressing his resignation as governor of Fengtian, becoming the first military governor in the country to voluntarily not serve as governor, which shocked the country.

    At that time, the powerful local factions all tried their best to obtain real military and political power. It was rare for someone like Zhang Zuolin to actively demand the delegation of power.  First he gave up his concurrent position as commander of the 27th Division, and now he resigned as governor of Fengtian Province. Look at his ambition!  Although everyone knows that Zhang Zuolin has three divisions of troops and is the military governor who has the most reliable control of power, this gesture has not failed to attract the attention of various factions advocating for dishonesty.

    The direction of the wind has become clear, and Bao Guiqing must also make some statement.  Since both of his divisions were subordinate to Zhang Zuolin, he had no interest in being the governor, so he told Zhang Zuolin that he wanted to resign as governor and full-time provincial governor.

    This wind made Fengtian and Heilongjiang extremely lively. Qualified military and political officials threw stones at Zhang Zuolin asking for directions. After all, the Republic of China only had about twenty military governors.  General Counselor Yang Yuting and 27th Division Commander Sun Liechen were all qualified. Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuolin's ally who had been his deputy when he started out, also felt that there was an opportunity. Even Wu Junsheng, who had just been promoted to commander of the 29th Division, came to visit Lao Zhang anxiously.

    It¡¯s not time to pick the fruits yet, now I want to share the spoils!

    Zhang Zuoxiang smelled the signs, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Zuolin: "Commander, Governor Bao cannot resign from this position! None of our old guys are qualified enough. It is not good to forcefully recommend anyone, but it will hurt the harmony. And the Governor is  The central government prohibits women, and the provincial governor of Heilongjiang Province is just empty-handed. Let's not look too ugly." This was a mature and prudent view, and his general knowledge made Zhang Zuolin admire him with admiration.

    Zhang Hanqing also said to Zhang Zuolin: "Eighth Uncle's opinion is very pertinent. The provincial governor is elected by the people, so we can make a difference; the position of governor is appointed by the central government. No matter who we elect to office, it is easy for others to criticize us, and we still can't.  "

    After careful consideration, Zhang Zuolin also felt that it was not practical for Bao Guiqing to hold the actual administrative power, so let him sit in the position of governor. With Han Linchun and Wu Junsheng there, he would not be able to do anything.  So he rejected Bao Guiqing's opinion: "The position of military governor is a national law and is appointed by the Central Committee. How can it be given up at will? Since Brother Tingjiu took charge of the black, the whole province has been stable and very popular. Even Han and Wu have repeatedly  Discourage. In my brother¡¯s opinion, it¡¯s better not to mention this matter again.¡±

    The implication is that the position of provincial governor must be given up.  Bao Guiqing had no choice but to follow Zhang Zuolin's footsteps and quit his part-time job, but his footsteps were inevitably a little more dusty.

    Who should give the vacated governor¡¯s position?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??, it is impossible for him to do anything.  So he rejected Bao Guiqing's opinion: "The position of military governor is a national law and is appointed by the Central Committee.
