The Beiyang government received a joint telegram from the governors on March 19. This telegram was headed by Cao Kun and included Beiyang warlords from 15 provinces and three special zones, including the three governors of the Yangtze River. They requested Duan Qirui to form a cabinet again. Neiyun said: "Kun and others have agreed with each other that if my father-in-law resumes his post as Kuixi, he and I will swear to the same oath to support the crisis together. Otherwise, we will just follow the father-in-law and not care about worldly affairs. The safety of the country, whether we are separated or separated from each other, is my father-in-law."
When Feng Guozhang received this telegram, it was like receiving a sad letter from Meidun. He had no choice but to ask Duan Qirui to "comply with everyone's orders and put the Beiyang group first" and accept the order to form a cabinet.
If we let him go like this, Duan Qirui would not be worthy of being called a tumbler in the political arena of the Republic of China. He was very bachelor and still said that he had "no intention of doing this."
The situation has deteriorated, and Feng Guozhang vowed to the heaven and earth to express his willingness to live and die with Duan and share hardships. And voluntarily agreed to five conditions: the land affairs office will still be moved back to the State Council, with Jin Yunpeng as the director and acting teacher Jingyun - Jin is one of Duan's four kings; the State Council resolution, the president promised not to change a word without authorization; Cabinet members are selected by the Prime Minister without the consent of the President; the Secretary-General of the Government is recommended by the Prime Minister; telegrams from the Central Committee (referring to the President) to the provinces must be approved and issued by the hospital.
Once these five conditions are laid out, Lao Feng basically puts himself in a high position as a puppet. The reason why he did this was that on the one hand he was temporarily avoiding the edge; on the other hand, he took advantage of Duan Qirui's busy time of forming a cabinet and dealing with the aftermath to quickly consolidate his direct forces in various provinces in preparation for counterattack.
This time, Duan Qirui has full control of the central government in Beijing. On March 23, the presidential decree approved the resignation of Prime Minister Wang Shizhen and appointed Duan Qirui as Prime Minister.
On the 24th, Zhang Zhitan was appointed Secretary-General of the State Council.
On the 25th, the Mainland China Office moved back to the State Council.
On the 27th, Zhang Jingyao was appointed governor of Hunan and governor of the province.
On the 28th, the order was made to change the commander-in-chief of the Navy to a special appointment, with Lan Jianshu as the commander-in-chief.
On the 29th, Lu Zhengxiang was reinstated as the Director-General of Foreign Affairs, Qian Nengxun was the Director-General of the Interior, Duan Zhigui was the Army Commander-in-Chief, Liu Guanxiong was the Navy Commander-in-Chief, Fu Zengxiang was the Education Director-General, Zhu Shen was the Justice Director-General, Tian Wenlie was the Agriculture and Commerce Director-General, and Cao Rulin was the Transportation Director-General and Finance Department. Chief Minister, Wu Dingchang is the Deputy Minister of Finance. These are all important figures in the Anhui clique. From this moment on, the Anhui clique completely controlled the central government of Beiyang.
As an incentive to those who support it, the Beiyang government awarded Cao Kunxun the title of Cao Kunxun, the first-class Baoguang Jiahe Medal with a large ribbon; awarded Zhang Jingyao the first-class Wenhu Medal, the second-class Baoguang Jiahe Medal with a large ribbon; Wu Peifu received three honors and the second-class Baoguang Jiahe Medal with a large ribbon.
When Duan Qirui was reinstated as Prime Minister for the third time, Feng Guozhang completely bowed his head. Even the Third Governor of the Yangtze River, who was directly connected to the powerful elements who advocated peace, did not dare to speak out against him. The most popular person in the political situation at this time was Xu Shuzheng, and Li Chun also tried his best to win over Xu. Jiangxi Governor Chen Guangyuan publicly expressed his acceptance of the third phase of the battle plan. By this period, the Zhili clique had completely surrendered to the Anhui clique.
On this occasion, Duan Qirui explained at the military conference in Hankou the importance of uniting the Beiyang faction and the decision to implement the policy of fighting against South Korea, and then proposed the fourth phase of the battle plan and sent it to the relevant provinces for implementation according to the plan. Regarding the presidential issue, Duan Qirui advocated convening a new Congress quickly to conduct the presidential election as scheduled. This was the later famous Anfu Congress planned by Xu Shuzheng, a close associate of the Anhui clique.
Before Duan Qirui formed the cabinet for the third time, all favorable circumstances were in his favor. However, after he came to power, the situation changed: the warlords of the Anhui clique and the main war faction supported him for their own reasons, hoping that the war would lead to separation. They borrowed money and arms from Japan, and at the same time, they were able to withhold national taxes and buy horses and recruit troops because of the war.
When Fengjun entered the customs, he was not satisfied after "taking the opportunity" to rob a batch of arms. Shortly after Duan came to power, the second batch of 30,000 firearms shipped from Japan was robbed by Fengjun in Tanggu! The collusion between Duan Qirui's government and Japan did not gain much, because the supply of arms only benefited Fengjun, and Japanese arms were robbed by Fengjun twice. Although there is a lot of borrowing, water from afar cannot put out a fire that is near.
After intercepting arms twice, Zhang Zuolin used these arms to equip a total of 7 brigades, greatly increasing his strength. It turned out that after the Song Jiuling Regiment of Yijun surrendered, Zhang Hanqing integrated many idle troops and gave him the position of commander of the mixed brigade. Now that the arms are in hand, the shelf of this mixed brigade can be truly put up.
Among the veterans who started their careers following Zhang Zuolin, Sun Liechen has succeeded him as the division commander of the main 27th Division. Yang Yuting is the unshakable General Counselor of the Military Warden's Office and Governor-General of the Arsenal. Tang Yulin has been marginalized. Only Zhang Zuoxiang has been promoted from Chief of Staff of the 27th Division. He was promoted to Chief of Staff of the Military Governor's Office, which was a slight advancement in name. In contrast, Han Linchun and Guo Songling of the Marshal Department came to power one after another as newcomers. Even Wang Yizhe, who was not good at military affairs, was a prominent figure in the first division, and Jiang Dengxuan rose to the top in one step. In contrast, Zhang Zuolin felt sorry for ZhangMake a appearance.
However, Zhang Zuoxiang was very open-minded: when the First Division was formed, he had the opportunity to become the division commander, but he gave it up because of the impact on Zhang Zuolin and gave it to Han Linchun; when the 28th Division surrendered, it was an opportunity, but he gave up the opportunity because of the stability of the military morale. Gave it to Ji Jinchun.
??Although he repeatedly gave way to talents and settled down behind others, the young and old marshals will never forget him. Zhang Zuolin expressed his trust in Zhang Zuoxiang by letting him serve as the commander-in-chief of the rear army, which was related to his life and death. Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, enhanced his influence by proposing to elevate the status of the chief of staff. As chief of staff of the Fengtian Governor's Office, Zhang Zuoxiang's level was already the same as that of the division commanders, and he could command operations on Zhang Zuolin's behalf.
In addition, in accordance with the principle of establishing positions based on people, Zhang Hanqing appointed Zhang Zuoxiang as the vice chairman of the People's Party Military Committee, which at least nominally elevated his status within the party. Although the influence of the People's Party at this time was only in Fengtian and Heilongjiang, after all, It is better than nothing, which is also what the young commander wants.
Zhang Zuoxiang felt this intention and expressed his full gratitude for it, but still declined politely. This kind of high moral integrity makes the whole family even more noble. Zhang Hanqing did not give up. He sent his adjutant and propaganda minister Zhu Guangmu to personally convey the message: "Uncle Eighth is not willing to be the vice chairman. Is it because he thinks the People's Party is not big enough and thinks it can't become a climate? Only for this reason is it necessary to rely on Uncle Eighth's connections." and aura, so that the People¡¯s Party can grow stronger as soon as possible!¡±
This sentence is half passionate and half heartfelt. The Kuomintang was founded by a group of young people headed by him, and none of the elders of the Fengtian faction got involved. As a result, the situation in Fengtian could not be opened up for a long time, and even the black provinces did not pay attention to it. If Zhang Zuoxiang "joins", no matter what, it will increase the weight of the People's Party, and it will also be a sweet relationship, right?
Zhang Zuoxiang must have understood Zhang Hanqing's thoughts and wanted to compliment him, so he smiled and said: "Go and tell the young marshal that I appreciate his kindness. How about I take office now as vice chairman?" In his mind In the face of this, the role of the People's Party is just a thing created by the young marshal. He only expresses his support. Anyway, it is in name only. However, when Zhang Hanqing later announced that he was the chairman of the People's Party's Military Committee, and the only vice-chairman was Zhang Zuoxiang, he somewhat understood what the young marshal meant: that was a favor to himself. You must know that Han Linchun, Guo Songling, Wang Yizhe, Mi Chunlin and others who hold heavy troops are only committee members.
At this time, Jiang Dengxuan had been personally "introduced" by Zhang Hanqing and became a glorious "preparatory member" of the People's Party. When the time comes, he can be promoted to three levels in a row. A member of the Military Commission cannot escape, and at worst he has to He is a member of the Central Committee. However, why can Zhang Zuoxiang be the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the People's Party when he is not a party member?
It¡¯s actually very simple. When the People¡¯s Party was founded, both Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen were honorary vice-chairmen of the People¡¯s Party, which was equivalent to joining the party in disguise. This matter was not stipulated in the party constitution! At that time, as long as there is a slight modification, when the party constitution is revised, it should be written as follows: "The honorary chairman or vice chairman of the party is a naturally qualified member of the People's Party." Wouldn't it be done? It was the foreshadowing that Zhang Hanqing had laid down. At the beginning of its establishment, there were naturally many loopholes. The key was to see who could make good use of these loopholes.
At this time, good news came from the Shenyang Arsenal: the mountain cannon obtained from the remnants of the Zongshe Party some time ago had been successfully "recycled" - in fact, it was just that the Japanese writings on the cannon were scraped off, and then rebuilt with molten iron. Just pour it in. Although there are still some traces of this, after all, it is not very direct and blatant to tell the world that these are the original batch of "stolen goods". Even if it is revealed to the public, it can be justified. At the moment when the strength is not enough, Zhang Hanqing is still extremely wary. As for the Japanese.
Thirty guns, eighteen of which were left in the Guards Division, forming a brand new artillery battalion. The remaining twelve, together with several cannons eliminated by the Guards Division, were allocated to the First Division to build an artillery battalion. The First Division was originally formed from the Heilongjiang Cavalry Brigade and the Infantry Brigade. It had basically no heavy weapons in the full sense. Now that I found such treasures out of the blue, I was naturally very happy. In addition, it is commanded by middle and lower-level officers brought out by the backbone of the teaching regiment. Once the training is in place, its combat effectiveness will definitely not be inferior to that of the 29th Division, which barely ranks among the Beiyang Army.
"It's not that Zhang Hanqing is partial, it's really the lack of heavy weapons that leads to the difference between the close and the distant. Zhang Zuolin could only smile openly at his son's little calculation. It was better for the meat to rot in the pot than not at all.
The two seizures of 60,000 guns were equivalent to an update of equipment for the entire Feng army. Zhang Hanqing didn't eat alone this time, there was no need. Even Song Jiuling's mixed brigade, which was newly assigned to the Guard Division, had its uniforms changed from top to bottom, so it was better to be open-minded. Some old-fashioned rifles and local guns have really come back to life after being eliminated, and the Fengtian Ordnance Repair Factory finally has some spare parts and materials for use.
But after this, Duan Qirui was extremely afraid of Zhang Zuolin, and it was inevitable for Feng and Anhui to fall out. At this time, Jilin was like a thorn in Fengtian's back, and Feng Guozhang was no longer able to fight openly or secretly with Duan Qirui. On the surface, Fengjun's first entry into the Pass was very impressive, but once Duan Qirui regained his composure, in a hurry, Fengjun's strength was not comparable to that of the prosperous Anhui faction. If the knot between the Feng clique and the Anhui clique cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it can be said to be endless troubles for the Feng army.

If the knot between the Feng clique and the Anhui clique cannot be resolved as soon as possible, it can be said to be endless troubles for the Feng army.
