    Warlord, this profession is both enviable and hated in the eyes of the people of the Republic of China.  ?In the Republic of China, it was a common phenomenon for local warlords to expropriate money by force. However, this profession was located in a country where the local emperor definitely existed and belonged to the top powerful people in the privileged class.  While enjoying huge power, they also decide the fate of millions, or even tens of millions of people.  ??For ordinary people, this is the king of hell weighing on their heads, but for ambitious people, this is the ultimate goal of struggle.  According to past rules, Wang Xueqian should not have a high favorability in the minds of the people in the southeast, but the actual situation is completely opposite.  His political methods were much better than those of other local warlords. Coupled with the rise of industry, he completed the transformation of tax sources from simple agricultural taxes to trade taxes and commercial taxes, controlled the circulation and monopoly of the most important special commodities, and concentrated a large amount of wealth.  In the hands of the government, it does not increase the burden on the people.  But it has a greater impact on traditional businessmen.  This series of means dazzled the politicians of the Republic of China and at the same time subtly improved the economic conditions of Zhejiang, Fujian and other places.  For the middle and lower classes, the changes and affluence in life will be earth-shaking.  Just compare Zhejiang and Jiangxi. If you use a questionnaire to evaluate people's happiness, Zhejiang's score is 90 percent, while in Jiangxi it may be only 30 percent, or even lower.  After gaining a large number of fans, he also found a lot of political opponents for himself.  This is an unavoidable situation. Even though Wang Xueqian has powerful power, he cannot stop some people from loving him and others from hating him.  The protagonist of this day¡¯s parade is the local warlord and the newly-promoted ¡®Southeast King¡¯ Wang Xueqian.  Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Wang Xueqian¡¯s rise is unstoppable. If he has the ability and ambition to govern the Republic of China, it is only a matter of time before he moves into the central government.  It is precisely because of his abilities that people are afraid and jealous.  Among his colleagues, Wang Xueqian was isolated. Neither the Beiyang nor the Provisional Government in the South considered Wang Xueqian to be the same as them.  At the critical moment, there were basically only two ways for the top leaders to take power in the Republic of China, the Baoding Military Academy, and the Japanese 6th Military Academy. But Princeton University what the hell is this?  Many people are eager to see Wang Xueqian be unlucky and unlucky.  But several attempts to deal with Wang Xueqian failed. Li Houji was too stupid, Sun Chuanfang was ill-prepared, and Zhang Jingjiang He didn't even think about it. Wang Xueqian was the leader of the Ningshao consortium, and he was the leader of the Ningshao consortium. When he started an uprising in Hangzhou, it was because of his ability as a Huzhou business group.  What are the chances?  But things have changed recently. Wang Xueqian is unlucky. There is a saying that you will never survive if you do something wrong. How dare he be a traitor?  ¡°Don¡¯t care if it¡¯s true or not, just curse first and then talk.  After a long time of preparation, I chose the auspicious day. I was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent, just waiting for the moment when the parade broke out But suddenly, the traitors were fake and the heroes were real.  What does this leave the organizers of the march to do?  According to the established plan, we scolded each other, but in the end, how can young people have the face to say that they are patriotic!  They don't even know the difference between right and wrong; but when it comes to praising him, they really can't say it out loud.  Regardless of the purpose of the march, Wang Xueqian has become a huge resistance to their organization. This is an indisputable fact and cannot be changed.  If Wang Xueqian was praised at this time, no one would be willing to do so.  Not to mention the organizers of the parade, the leaders of various groups were very troubled, but some were still very happy. They called Zhang Shizhao's home and said a lot of thanks. Finally, he said tactfully: "Professor Zhang,  In the future, just say whatever you need." This confused Zhang Shizhao. A day ago, he already felt that he was Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror and no longer a human being.  But in the blink of an eye, he became someone's savior. Did he make a mistake somewhere?  Zhang Shizhao was confused and helpless at the same time. He obviously felt that some information must have been disclosed by high-level officials, or something went wrong with the parade.  Originally planning to sleep all day, Zhang Shizhao, out of sight and out of mind, shouted at the door of the study in his pajamas: "Chang'an, Chang'an!" "Hey, sir." "Has today's newspaper been delivered?" "Sir! I'll go to the concierge to take a look.  ¡°Look.¡±¡­ I took the newspaper and read it six or seven times. It wasn¡¯t that Professor Zhang was suffering from Alzheimer¡¯s disease and couldn¡¯t understand the square words, but the information in the newspaper was really shocking.  Although he has many connections in the political arena, connections are connections and status is status.  It is impossible to know his identity and there is no way to know the information brokered by Southeast Diplomacy.  But just because he doesn¡¯t know, it doesn¡¯t mean that Cao Kun doesn¡¯t know.  Gu Weijun was one of the main members of the negotiation, and the other person was Wang Xueqian.  Cao Kun could not and would not allow the production of a large number of diplomatic documents that were too outrageous and betrayed the sovereignty of the Republic of China.This person is not out of integrity, but because he simply cannot trust foreigners.  Speaking of which, in this negotiation, Gu Weijun was the favored one, while Wang Xueqian was the bad one. It was only through the cooperation of the two that such an effect was achieved.  But the general direction will not change.  Cao Kun was not as bold as Duan Qirui. Cao Kun, who only knew how to make small calculations, was too cautious about diplomacy. As a result, during his reign, the diplomatic situation of the Republic of China was not as bad as imagined, but was better than before.  Previous presidents have done much better.  It¡¯s just that not much has been reported.  Cao Kun's mind is very simple. He doesn't want to deceive foreigners, nor does he want to be deceived by foreigners.  Zhang Shizhao was lying on the easy chair. Apart from breaking out in a cold sweat, he couldn't figure out why Cao Kun should have known the inside story, but he still asked him to contact the academic circles in Yanjing to encourage the demonstration. What was his purpose?  To harm yourself?  Zhang Shizhao thought about it over and over again. He didn't have such a great reputation, but he was worried about and framed by the President of the Republic of China.  But apart from this reason, he really couldn¡¯t figure out what Cao Kun¡¯s intention was?  The only explanation is that I am just teasing you!  Zhang Shizhao, who couldn't understand Cao Kun's ideas, could only stare at the ceiling blankly, thinking about his failed life without interest. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off and on and on.  Since becoming the president, Cao Kun has found that he has fewer ways to make money This makes him very sad.  Cao Kun is notoriously greedy and has an almost crazy obsession with money.  But now that he has become president, he has no other way to make money except selling his official position.  ¡°And the business of selling officials is very difficult to do.     how to say?  Buying and selling requires cost. The territory that Cao Kun could sell was some official positions in the five provinces of North Zhili.  There are few wealthy people in these places. They are basically extremely poor counties. They cannot afford high prices, and they can only sell them once in a short period of time. If they are sold too much, their character will be ruined, and no one will be fooled.  Although Cao Kun's character is not very good, when doing business, integrity still comes first.  But even the money from selling an official position cannot all fall into his own pocket. Part of it is used to subsidize military expenditures, and the government has to use some In short, he is now at a disadvantage.  When the president looked at the scenery, he saw that compared with his previous tour envoys from the five provinces, his nose was much worse.  Who dares to share the money from selling an official position with him?  No, the Jade Commander Wu Peifu returned to Yanjing from the front line and wanted to ask for military pay again.  The Ministry of Finance has no money and dare not release money.  Wang Huaiqing, the commander of the garrison in the capital, dared to kidnap the chief financial officer, and Feng Yuxiang even turned the finance department upside down Each of his generals was more courageous than the last. In desperation, Cao Kun could only watch the money by himself.  But the question is, how can this little money extracted from the Ministry of Finance be enough to pay for the military expenditure of hundreds of thousands of troops?  With his nose in trouble, Cao Kun had no choice but to find another way out.  In the Presidential Palace, he had a sinister smile on his face, like an old hen that had just laid eggs, and standing opposite was Wu Peifu, who looked suspicious.  One of the two people looked deliberately trying to please, and the other looked full of disgust, but Cao Kun still secretly handed Wu Peifu a banknote in his sleeve like a secret agent.  Wu Peifu didn¡¯t want to accept it at all, a banknote?  Are you kidding!  Where is this enough?  A cartload of banknotes is about the same.  But Cao Kun simply said: "Take a look, just take a look!" Like a child offering a treasure, Cao Kun's face was full of happiness and excitement.  For an old man in his fifties, this expression is a bit scary.  Wu Peifu took the brand-new banknote and it felt good in his hand. This was his first reaction.  When I looked down, I thought it was strange. This was not a banknote that was common in Beiyang, but a banknote that was common in the three northeastern provinces.  Because there are geographical restrictions, it is called "fengtiao".  It has to be said that the strongest banknotes in the Republic of China were the Hua Yuan, which was commonly used in areas south of the Yellow River by Wang Xueqian and the Banking Association.  The second thing is to vote.  Zhang Zuolin attaches great importance to banknotes. The Japanese provide technology and guidance, and the Marshal's Mansion personally supervises.  Fengdai has always maintained a strong purchasing power in the three northeastern provinces, which is inseparable from Zhang Zuolin's attention.  As the president, Cao Kun issued banknotes in the north in the name of the central bank.  But in terms of economics, Cao Kun's vision is much worse than Zhang Zuolin.  He doesn't pay attention to these at all.  But now, he takes it seriously, and takes it very seriously.  Wu Peifu said helplessly: "President, what do you mean by giving me a vote?" "Guess cluck" Cao Kun giggled. For simple-minded people, happiness is actually very simple.  Wu Peifu is puzzled, but there is nothing he can do. Who makes Cao Kun the eldest brother?  I can only continue to ask patiently: "You know me, you don't know how to guess riddles, so please tell me"President, let¡¯s reveal the mystery!  " "I asked the central bank's banknote printing factory to print a batch of 'notes'. The batch of 10 million yuan has been shipped to Tianjin. It will enter the three northeastern provinces in a few days. The factory is still stepping up printing. By then, it will be enough for Zhang Zuolin to drink.  For pots" Don't think that ten million doesn't seem like much, but it's all one yuan in coupons, and it's a lot when it's piled up. Cao Kun shook his head proudly, but Wu Peifu frowned, he felt something was wrong,  Cao Kun is the nominal government official of the Republic of China. You always ask the central bank's printing house to print local banknotes. Instead of being a good president, is it appropriate to become a counterfeit banknote dealer?  Wu Peifu¡¯s complimentary words revealed his worries: ¡°I wonder if the president has prepared military expenditures?  " "The Fourth Brother has already prepared part of it for you, but it's just not enough, a little bit missing.  "When talking about military expenses, Cao Kun couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He suddenly thought of a way, which he thought was very useful: "Why don't you bring more votes when you return to the front line, so that you can bribe Fengjun?  " Wu Peifu's nose was almost crooked with anger, and Cao Kun's mind was weird enough. If they were bribed with money, the warlords of the Republic of China would not believe in their own country's banknotes. Except for two things, they would never be able to impress the other party. Gold and foreign currency. Gold  It's all the same. If it's a foreign currency, pounds and dollars are the best, followed by francs and yen. Besides, if the generals of the Feng army are bribed, do they still need the votes? This is a basic common sense!  He didn't have time to argue with Cao Kun. He had a bad idea. If Zhang Zuolin discovered that Tianjin had a large number of fake tickets, would he get angry and launch an attack in advance?  Tianjin is a weak link in combat deployment. Because there are not only Japanese military camps but also British and American military camps along the railway line, the Zhili troops cannot easily cross the railway line, which makes marching and supplies a big problem.  , but if Zhang Zuolin's main attack direction becomes Tianjin, rather than near Huairou Miyun, or Zhangbei, then his combat deployment will be completely disrupted. Wu Peifu has to assess the situation and change his combat plan to ensure that the Great Wall defense line is foolproof.  Cao Kun promoted his counterfeit banknote business, but it was unsuccessful. Wu Peifu did not cooperate with him at all. Instead, he asked him not to let the money flow into the three northeastern provinces in a short time, which aroused Zhang Zuolin's vigilance, while he was busy going to the former enemy headquarters to adjust the combat deployment.  The sky above Yanjing City was filled with the fog of war. But because of this combat deployment, the Zhili army did not pass through Yanjing during the day, but secretly passed through the city at night, so the people did not feel that the war was about to happen.  The feeling of oppression came. Instead, people in the academic circles were not alert, but it was useless to know that they could neither organize Zhang Zuolin nor change Cao Kun.  Because of their dissatisfaction with the politics of the Republic of China, they were entangled together and prepared to criticize Wang Xueqian publicly. Unfortunately, they did not have time to criticize, but in the end they had to urgently change their stance. At this time, they remembered Zhang Shizhao, who had warned them tactfully.  At that time, his performance was too blunt and he misunderstood Zhang Shizhao's good intentions. Zhang Shizhao was very surprised. He was obviously tricked by Cao Kun and almost caused the biggest mistake in the Republic of China. He was deeply disturbed and almost deceived a group of people.  The conscientious and courageous politician of the Republic of China was almost called a traitor, and his purpose was very impure. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to stop the situation in time and did not make a big mistake. A day ago, or even a dozen hours ago, his nose was broken.  The organizers of the parade, who had no nose and no face, called Zhang Shizhao to discuss it. Zhang Shizhao, who originally didn't want to go, finally went out. He didn't seem to have offended these people, even if not many of them were just nobodies in his eyes.  When they met, everyone was smiling, which made Zhang Shizhao feel sad from the bottom of his heart. Has even the most radical group of people in the cultural circle begun to become unrealistic in front of everyone?  Zhang Shizhao thought it was quite scary. To use fashionable words, this group of people had been cultivated by cruel struggle.  But thinking that I might need these people in the future, I have to feel sorry for myself.  Walking into a gathering teahouse, Zhang Shizhao had a smile on his face that even he thought was fake: "Everyone, I am so flattered, so flattered!" "Professor Zhang, you didn't say anything, we were wrong!" "Yes,  Wrong!" Zhang Shizhao was so dissatisfied that it reached his throat and he could only swallow it back.  He stared at everyone with big eyes and small eyes, a little unsure of what the method was.  "Professor Zhang, do you think that if the target of the parade is changed to Cao Kun" "Zhang Shizhao will cover his face in pain, don't come to harm me!" Fortunately, Professor Li, who is sensible, stood up: "If the parade is against Cao Kun, we don't care.  , but the students may be affected.  The Yanjing Police Department will not ignore the people's insults against the president, and thousands of people cursed him together on the street.  The military and police will definitely be dispatched to suppress it.  Moreover, Cao Kun is now enjoying the glory of diplomatic victory, and it is inappropriate to scold him.  " Zhang Shizhao was also unsure and asked: "What do you mean?  " "Wang Xueqian has nothing to say, but the parade is not a suitable place to say some complimentary words, so I can only use another person. What do you think, Professor Zhang?  " This was a reasonable question. Zhang Shizhao said in his heart: "Come on, you're not asking me if I have any enemies. Why don't you scold me!  "This meaning is too simple. Wang Xueqian can't scold him, but we can't give up on the parade. As the saying goes, young people are more likely to be depressed if they try hard again and again. And their emotions also need to be vented. The meaning behind the words is to find an unlucky guy.  , to replace the original protagonist Wang Xueqian. But Zhang Shizhao thought over and over again and couldn't find a local official in the Republic of China who could make enemies with him. The main reason was that he couldn't reach him. It was too easy to do it before, and he couldn't criticize reactionaries.  Warlords, just scold the British and the Japanese, there is no need for a reason. But now It's a bit difficult! The British have given up the two concessions. It would be a bit ignorant to scold the British now.  As for the Japanese they can be scolded for being too petty. Why didn't the Suzhou Concession be returned to the Republic of China? But at the moment, neither of them is suitable to be a substitute for Wang Xueqian.  People are important. He is already the outlet that the radical students in Yanjing desperately need, but who is the right one? Zhang Shizhao exchanged glances with Professor Li beside him and said a name. The other party thought for a moment.  After that, he patted his thigh and made a decision: "It's him!  "(To be continued.) 8
