The Survival Wisdom of the Beiyang Era (238): Wet Apricot Blossom Rain.
In the early summer of Hong Xian's first year, after Yuan Shikai, the old man of the Beiyang clan, died, Duan Qirui, the heir of the Beiyang warlords, did his best to bury his scenery, and in the case of tight funds, the old Department of Beiyang generously donated money, not to waste the grace of Yuan Datou's former knowledge. Since the baton is in hand, as the de facto helmsman of the Beiyang Dynasty, Duan Qirui began to package the unification of the world, and in the face of the Gonggong gong who pursued fame and profit, although real money and silver could not be given, the best means was to award the medal. A "medal rain", the Beiyang warlords, the southwest warlords, the southern princes and the Sunqing relics can all be rained and exposed. Duan Qirui, as the head of the cabinet, involves the proper awarding of the medal, naturally also to pass the pass of President Li Fatzi, the two people open the skylight to say bright words, naturally they have to seek benefits for their respective camps, so this time the award order was jointly nominated by Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui, and the relationship between the two people, which originally had a strong taste of gunpowder, went to reconciliation.
Subsequently, Li Yuanhong was partial to the southwestern figures, and Duan Qirui's nominations were naturally mostly a vein of the Beiyang, coupled with the Old Sunqing who decorated the façade, naturally appeared strange and all-encompassing, and this award order was also known as "Medal Rain" at that time. Before the anti-Yuan dukes, Sun Wen was awarded the great honor, Cai Yi, Tang Jiyao, Lu Rongting and others were awarded a medal, and although the rare honest man Huang Xing also received this honor, he insisted on resigning. Of course, Lao Duan could not favor one over the other, and treated his own people with generous hands, Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen in the Three Masters were all first-class great treasures of light and jiahe, whether they were anti-Yuan or beiyang warlords who were defending the country before, most of them also received medals and medals below the second grade. Sunqing's Shi continued to receive a medal, Zaitao was a first-class Wenhu Medal, Liang Dingfen received a second-class Grand Silk Jiahe Medal, and the Qing court widow was awarded the Beiyang Medal, which made this medal rain into a farce of no difference.
However, in the Beiyang Regulations on The Awarding of The Order, the Great Medal can only be awarded to the former president, and the medal is awarded to the civil and military officials with special merits, but for the civilian officials and military generals, there are also the Wenhu Medal and the Jiahe Medal. In the past, when the old man was alive, he did not give a lot of gold to the faces of his little brothers, and medals were used as gifts to win over warlords and celebrities. However, due to the excessive "circulation", it is also ridiculed as "abusing sheep's heads". This time Li Fatzi and Duan Zhilao played more aggressively, directly wen and wu did not demarcate, there were civilian officials who also awarded Wen Hu Zhang, and the military general gave Jiahe Zhang, although it was ridiculous, but everyone's face had to be taken into account, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui were in this kind of sitting on the ground and dividing the booty, and the matter of dividing the cake was in front of them, who was not willing to be a charity helmsman.
In the end, this award was still a mistake, and some so-called hard stubble was not accepted. Huang Xing is not affected because this person is Geng Zhi and does not love the power stack. Cen Chunxuan regarded the honor as an object, wanted to give himself to others, and was even more reluctant to accept the "braided marshal" Zhang Xun, Zhang Dashuai once said that "the palace is there, from the palace protection, the palace protection is not there, from the old dynasty." Originally, he did not want to see Duan Qirui, and the old Duan was also tit-for-tat, and only gave this Overseer Alliance Lord the Second Class Grand Silk Jiahe Medal, Zhang Xun felt that it did not meet his status as an ally, so he refused to accept it, and it was not until New Year's Day of the following year that he was awarded the First Class Grand Silk Jiahe Medal. Gong Gong gong wore a shining medal, his face naturally felt light, the north and south camps also seemed to be a harmonious group, Li Yuanhong created a momentum of "National Old Courtyard", Duan Qirui contacted his "Fourth Brother Feng" to reminisce, the two briefly reconciled, a rain of medals seemed to extinguish the looming temple fire.
