As soon as Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, Feng Yuxiang's face became ugly again.
Duan Qirui was very confused when he saw this. He knew that the reason why these two people could sit together peacefully now was because of their interests. If there were no interests involved, they would probably not sit together anyway.
On the table, in order to change the situation, he led the topic elsewhere.
Duan Qirui pretended to cough and said: "Since you two elected me as the chief executive of the Republic of China last time in Peking, I reluctantly accepted it. But I have a request. If I take up the post, I can naturally speak my mind.
Does it count?" Duan Qirui looked at the two people in front of him who had bad expressions.
Zhang Zuolin smiled at Duan Qirui and replied: "That's right! That's right! The supreme ruler should have the right to be the supreme ruler, otherwise what is the name of the supreme ruler?"
Feng Yuxiang also echoed a few words.
Duan Qirui continued: "Well, since you two love each other so much, I won't hide it, and I will say it openly if you have anything to say!"
Zhang Zuolin and Feng Yuxiang both listened quietly, wondering how Duan Qirui would solve this matter.
Duan Qirui said slowly: "Today, in order to solve the situation in Peiping after Wu Peifu escaped, I have written down a few opinions, and I hope you two can refer to them!"
Duan Qirui raised his head and glanced at Zhang Zuolin and Feng Yuxiang, seeing a trace of curiosity flashing in their eyes, and then said slowly: "I have written a total of four opinions. The first is about Wu Peifu. Wu Peifu has already
He fled to the Luoyang area. In recent days, I heard news that he was not having a good time there. Therefore, I feel that no matter which party is, it is not allowed to kill Wu Peifu. We allow Wu Peifu to go to the countryside peacefully. This is one of them."
Duan Qirui's suggestion seems to be aimed at Wu Peifu, but in fact it is of great benefit to himself. If Wu Peifu is eliminated, then Zhang Zuolin's threat to him will be even greater. If Wu Peifu can be retained,
Duan Qirui believed that if he was given a chance in another year or two, he would make a comeback and develop into a force that could restrain Zhang Zuolin. At that time, as the sole leader, he would use the relationship between several factions to restrain each other, and then he would be able to stabilize China.
The highest governing position in the Republic of China temporarily maintained the stability of the Republic of China.
For Zhang Zuolin, this was neither good nor bad news. Although Zhang Zuolin's original plan was to enter the Pass and then go to Jiangnan, he found that after he defeated Wu Peifu, everything was not as he thought.
ongoing.
First of all, Feng Yuxiang occupied Beiping City, which prevented him from controlling the central area of the Republic of China in time. Secondly, judging from Duan Qirui's attitude, he was unwilling to enter the Pass and go south. If he insisted on entering the Pass and going south, he might cause trouble in various places.
Due to the joint boycott of the forces, he will be unable to get off when the time comes. If a war breaks out, he will suffer heavy losses. If he retreats, he cannot afford to lose this person.
Zhang Zuolin thought about it and felt that his idea was really difficult to implement, so he should put it aside for the time being and slowly look for opportunities in the future. Then he nodded slowly, expressing his agreement with Duan Qirui's proposal.
Seeing that the two of them had no objections, Duan Qirui breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "My second point is that the Fengxi is not allowed to use troops against the southeast."
This one is a continuation of the previous point. Duan Qirui’s idea is to give Wu Peifu enough time to grow up. If the Feng Clan uses troops in the southeast at this time, then it will definitely be necessary to attack Wu Peifu. His plan is to wait for Wu Peifu to grow up and restrict the Feng Clan.
It fell into failure, so this is the reason for this.
Zhang Zuolin naturally knew the situation he was facing now. He could see it. Not to mention Wu Peifu and others in Luoyang, even the two Feng Yuxiang and Duan Qirui sitting in front of him would not agree with him going south to use troops.
, it seemed that Nanu was still too big to implement his plan, so he rationally agreed to the proposal.
For Feng Yuxiang, these two items were meaningless to him. First of all, he did not want to use troops against Wu Peifu, and had no last wish to send troops to the southeast, so he easily agreed.
Now that these two items have been agreed, Duan Qirui then proposed his third item. He said: "Since both of you have agreed on the attitude towards Wu Peifu, let me talk about the third item. Since Zhang Dashuai has entered
Within the Pass, I see that the army has already settled in Tianjin City, but if this place is given to you, wouldn’t I, Duan Qirui, have to move? Well, Feng Jun will not be able to cross Dezhou until he marches on Jinpu Road to Dezhou.
Step one, what do you think of Yuting?"
Duan Qirui's move had given Zhang Zuolin enough face. According to the original agreement, Fengjun could not cross Shanhaiguan. However, Fengjun had no choice but to win the Zhili-Fengtian War, so he had to completely control Fengjun.
The army rushed back to Shanhaiguan. I am afraid that Zhang Zuolin would not do it anyway, but if he were to occupy the entire Tianjin, Duan Qirui would not do it either, so he came up with such a method.
For Zhang Zuolin, this was already a very good result. At least he could now gain a foothold in the pass. As for future matters, he could slowly figure them out. This was completely beneficial to him, and of course he readily agreed.
Zhang Zuolin also knew that this was Duan Qirui's clever method. He first restricted his rights and then gave himself some benefits, but he still had to agree. Duan Qirui has to be said to be a wily politician. Zhang Zuolin
I finally saw it today.
Seeing that both of them agreed to these three items, Duan Qirui finally felt relieved and said slowly: "Since we have agreed to these three items, I believe that everyone will also agree to the fourth item. That is
The city of Peiping is still in a state of chaos after the war, so I think a national meeting should be called to discuss the organization of the government and all aftermath matters."
Of course, no one will disagree with this.
During the many days that Feng Yuxiang was in Peiping, he had already cleaned up and organized the resources and prisoners left behind after the defeat of the Zhili line in Peiping City. Now there was a mess left waiting for someone to deal with it. How could he bring this up at this time?
Rather than.
As for Zhang Zuolin, he also took advantage of Peiping City. He brought back several truckloads of antique calligraphy and paintings, accepted enough prisoners to organize several brigades, and even sent back Duan Qirui's twelve planes.
Naturally, he also agreed to Duan Qirui's proposal.
