Fengxian Jiangshan

"General Zhang, are you going to raise the butcher knife and completely wipe out the man?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Tinglan shook her head and said, "The Republic of China paid attention to the republic of the five ethnic groups. I think this is a very good proposition, but the Manchu nobles are always unwilling to lose power, and various rebellious actions continue, which has constituted For treason, the government cannot persecute a certain ethnic group, but it cannot allow some people to destroy the unity of the country, and the treasonous separatists must be severely punished!"

Zhang Tinglan's speech immediately attracted enthusiastic applause from many reporters. What he said was reasonable and admirable. In fact, since Xinhai, the problem of the Manchu imperial family has not been resolved, and it has gradually become a trouble and a burden.

At the beginning, Lao Yuan advocated preferential treatment of the Manchu and Qing royal families. This idea has the meaning of soothing people and preventing the split of the three eastern provinces. It cannot be regarded as completely wrong.But this can only be an emergency strategy, and it cannot be maintained like this forever, and must be changed.

"Reporters, I remember that during the North-South peace talks, it was proposed to treat Puyi with the etiquette of dealing with foreign monarchs. Here, a question arises. According to this statement, is Puyi a foreign monarch? Assuming he is a foreign monarch, why should China treat him preferentially? If he is not, then what is Puyi without an emperor in the Republic of China?"

After this question was raised, the pens in the hands of these reporters were also scribbling. This is indeed a self-contradictory question. Some reporters asked Zhang Tinglan: "General Zhang, how do you think the Manchu Qing should be dealt with?" What about the royal family and the nobles of the Eight Banners?"

"In the early years of the Republic of China, it was a stopgap measure to give preferential treatment to the Manchu royal family. Now, after Yuan Shikai's Hongxian monarchy and Zhang Xun's restoration, the two monarchies failed quickly. It can be seen that the concept of a democratic republic has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one can think about it again. I’m dreaming of being an emperor. So I suggest, take advantage of this opportunity, let Pu Yi move out of the palace, guide him to become an ordinary citizen, earn his own living, and prevent people with ulterior motives from using his name to cause trouble.”

"As for the nobles of the Eight Banners, the problem is even easier. The position of the emperor is abolished, and their titles will naturally disappear. In addition, the property of these people is the people's fat and anointing of the people all over the world, and they should be confiscated. They must also learn to rely on labor to make money , instead of sitting and eating, and getting something for nothing. In addition, if their family property is deprived, they will have no capital to make trouble, and people with bad intentions will not be able to take advantage of them. In short, I think the best way to deal with these old and young is to let them not If it’s normal, it’s not a problem anymore.”

Zhang Tinglan's remarks about dealing with Puyi and the children of the Eight Banners.It was soon published in major newspapers.This time Zhang Tinglan's statement received unprecedented support from the press, and even many scholars of the new school stood up and supported this view, thinking that Zhang Xun's restoration is a bad thing, but if it is used well.It is also a good thing, just to get rid of the burden of the Manchu royal family.

Otherwise, in the good city of Beijing, a country within a country has appeared, neither fish nor fowl.It would be awkward for anyone to see it. The best way now is to follow what Zhang Tinglan said, let all the children of the Eight Banners, including Pu Yi, become ordinary citizens and earn their own living. There is no need for the Republic of China to support them!

Soon this formed a wave, sweeping the entire north and south, inside and outside the Great Wall.People all over the world were enraged by Zhang Xun's perverse behavior, so they desperately hoped for a way to solve this problem once and for all. People from all walks of life continued to petition Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong to abolish Puyi's throne and drive him out of the Forbidden City.

After receiving petitions from various places, Lao Duan was caught in a dilemma. To be honest, he didn't know that this proposal was very suitable, but he couldn't do it!The reason is simple. Beiyang was born out of the bureaucratic group in the late Qing Dynasty. The relationship between the two is too close, and the intricate network of relationships cannot be untied at all.

When Duan Qirui closed his eyes, he could still see the scene of Sun Liechen and Yinchang quarreling. On behalf of Fengjun, Sun Liechen proposed to severely punish the Eight Banners nobles who participated in the rebellion and abolish Puyi's throne. At that time, Yinchang turned his face.

"Duan Zhiquan, ask yourself, without my Yinchang's recommendation, would you be able to work under Yuan Shikai? Would you be where you are today? When Beiyang was not in power, Yuan Gongbao had to live in seclusion in Huanshang Village. It was I, Yinchang, who helped I tried my best to deal with you. As a result, in the year of [-], you Beiyang sold the Qing Dynasty, and we didn't say anything, but there must be a way for people to survive, and we can't kill them all. Otherwise, what is the conscience?"

"Mr. Duan, why do you have everything here? Dare this old guy be a remnant of the previous dynasty. How dare he be so rampant? Do you need to shoot him now?"

Sun Liechen actually knew Yin Chang's identity, but he said this on purpose in order to run on Duan Qirui. The old Duan couldn't find an excuse for a while, and Yin Chang burst into tears: "Duan Zhiquan, you kill me now, the old man now Go to Jiuquan, talk to Yuan Gongbao, and let him see how presumptuous these Beiyang disciples and grandchildren are!"

After Yin Chang finished speaking, he got up and was about to bump into a pillar beside him. Fortunately, Xu Shuzheng was injured in his hand and saved him. Chancellery.

Lao Duan was caught in a dilemma, and he had no way to attack the nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so the good opportunity given by God could only be reserved for Feng Jun.After Sun Liechen went back, he discussed with Zhang Tinglan, and immediately sent a report to Lao Zhang, asking Zhang Zuolin to dispatch a special investigation team from Fengtian.

Although it is a small group, the number of people is not small at all. There are hundreds of gentlemen who settle the accounts. If there were not so many people, it would not be possible to count the huge assets collected. Settle down, first liquidate all kinds of cash deposits, real money, then factories, shops, land and farms, and finally real estate and villas.

As long as it is cleaned up, it will be handed over to Daosheng Bank, and then transferred to Fengtian through the bank. This work will become smoother and smoother, and various numbers will be refreshed every day. For Fengjun, this is no longer a problem. No, but the warehouse is almost full!

"Ziyu, you have made great achievements in breaking the capital, why are you a little unhappy?"

Cao Kun asked Wu Peifu with a smile. In this operation against the braided army, Wu Peifu also emerged in Beiyang. His command ability was appreciated by Cao Kun, and he was regarded as a rising star of the direct line.

"Marshal, what's the use of breaking the capital? Duan Qirui snatched the first merit, and those benefits were taken away by the Fengjun. This gang of beards is running around in the capital every day, and the residences of the princes and ministers are controlled by them. The wealth accumulated over the years has fallen into their pockets."

"Hey, that's right. Little Zhang ate a fat one this time. Don't look at Duan Qirui's fame. It's just a false name. These wealth are real things. Ziyu, take a guess, How much money can Zhang Zuolin knock out from the Eight Banners?"

Wu Peifu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I estimate at least 2000 million taels. After all, the value of so much real estate and land must be amazing."

"Ziyu, you still underestimate these Eight Banners children. The cash alone will exceed 2000 million, and everything else will be sold, at least it will exceed 5000 million!"

Upon hearing this figure, Wu Peifu couldn't recognize it and took a deep breath. Wu Peifu had never thought that it would be such a huge asset, so he couldn't sit still.

"Marshal, we can't just watch Fengjun eat meat, and we can't get any soup by ourselves. I also took the soldiers to ransack the house. Even if we can get three to five million yuan, it is a lot of money, enough for us to raise two or three more. A teacher!

Wu Peifu turned around and was about to leave, but Cao Kun grabbed him, "Ziyu, don't get angry, anyone can earn this money, but we can't take it, otherwise we will poke a hornet's nest!"

Wu Peifu is a good player in leading troops to fight, but he is a bit incompetent when it comes to political matters.

"We have such a close relationship with the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, we are inseparable at all. Fengjun took the money, they patted their buttocks, turned around and returned to the outside of the pass. We still have to hang around in the Beijing and Tianjin areas. When the time comes, Qianfu It means that if you have money, you can’t spend it!”

Speaking of this, Cao Kun sighed helplessly: "We can't take it, and neither can Duan Qirui, and he should be more troublesome than us, but it's cheaper for little Zhang."

If a person is unlucky, as long as he finds someone who is even more unlucky than him, his mood will be much better immediately. Cao Kun is like this at this time. Although he can't reap the benefits like Feng Jun, he doesn't have to bear all kinds of accusations and harassment. Very lucky.

The old Duan was overwhelmed by various telegrams. Although many of the Eight Banners were under the control of the Fengjun, some still lived in Dongjiaomin Lane, and there were also many people in the Tianjin Concession area, and the Fengjun could not catch them for the time being. They, this group of people are in the same spirit as the other Eight Banners disciples, so naturally they will try their best to save them.

Talking about this matter with Zhang Zuolin is probably useless. Old Zhang has already done something to the Eight Banners in the three eastern provinces. That is not a little bit of sympathy. Naturally, the big guys can only pin their hopes on Duan Qirui. Some people are flirting, some are talking about cleaning up, some are crying, some are making trouble, in a word, they want Lao Duan to stop Feng Jun's actions quickly.

These people even persuaded Wang Shizhen and Xu Shichang to come forward and put pressure on Lao Duan.However, apart from these people, there is another voice, that is, the voice of severely punishing the Eight Banners, and the most active ones are the press and academic circles.

In addition, the Sun Wen family in the south also saw through Duan Qirui's dilemma, so they mobilized all their propaganda forces without hesitation. In fact, it was the remnants of the Qing Dynasty who sheltered the Eight Banners.

Lao Duan was caught between the two voices, no matter what he could do, Zhang Tinglan suddenly came to visit.

"Mr. Duan, we have confiscated a large amount of stolen money, and the investigation is still in-depth. Would you like to send some people to help us, this is a big case worth more than ten million yuan!"

Old Duan was like a mirror in his heart, Zhang Tinglan was deliberately envious of him, the fat was right in front of him, but he couldn't stretch his mouth out, so for a long while, Old Duan could only grit his molars and say, "Let Feng Jun handle it!" (To be continued. .)
