The Survival Wisdom of the Beiyang Era (237): The wicked have their own wicked grinders.
After Yuan Shikai's death, before the newly appointed Li Yuanhong had time to burn a fire, the tiger of Beiyang began to monopolize power, and Li Fatzi became an indispensable group performance above the Beiyang Temple. After all, he was also a person who had seen the wind and waves, and President Lai was unwilling to go against the grain, and the dispute between the government and the court began to reach the point of sword fighting. Li Fatzi, who likes to sell fame and reputation, moved out of the mountain of Xu Xiangguo to mediate, but helplessly, there are soldiers who are the king of grass heads, and Xu Shichang can't play the decisive killing of Wufu's country no matter how shrewd he is. To say that Duan Qirui is also the most suitable candidate to succeed Yuan Datou as the new helmsman of the Beiyang warlords, in addition to his bad temper, whether it is prestige or strategy, he is definitely the top figure in the Beiyang crowd, but the dispute between the government and the court has also made this leading elder brother who has just sat on the top spot in Beiyang gray-headed, and even when Chen Shaotang visits Duan Qirui, he will pretend to ask by accident: "Xiangguo has been very worried about these days, presumably for the sake of the failure of peace in the palace." ”
Later, Duan Qirui was also surprised why such a sleek character would be so self-deprecating, and couldn't help but snort: "Your news is very well-informed, but what can you do?" Chen Shaotang replied in a mysterious way: "The government likes to use Hubei compatriots, and uses a few more Hubei people, so that he feels satisfied, and he will not worry about other issues." Duan Qirui then held out the names of a number of Hubei nationals, punched his face and said, "I don't use many Hubei people." Chen Shaotang shook his head disapprovingly, "The relationship between these people and the government is too shallow. Seemingly inadvertently, it was actually a trance array for Duan Qirui. Duan Qirui frowned and thought about it, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "There is one person who may have a deep relationship with Lao Li, that damn Chen Mi!" Chen Shaotang pretended to be surprised and said, "Chen Mi?" The relationship is indeed enough, but this person is too bad. As the dispute between the government and the courtyard became more and more intense, Duan Qirui, who was overwhelmed, unconsciously fell into the ecstasy array under Chen Shaotangbu.
However, Chen Mi had always been disgusted by Duan Qirui, so he found Hu Egong to find a way for him in Gyeonggi, and Chen Shaotang was bribed by Hu Egong to go to Duan Qirui as a lobbyist, taking the opportunity of the dispute between the government and the court, he laid down a ecstasy array for Duan Qirui, and after the role of the microphone was played, Duan Qirui pulled down his son a few days later, wrote a handwritten letter to Chen Mi to show his condolences and welcome him to Beijing to "borrow another". After Chen Mi went to Beijing, he was awarded the title of General Of Yiwei, and this general who defected to Yuan Shikai, defected to the defending army, and fled in defeat actually got a honorary title, but he also wanted to become a real power overseer with troops and territory, but the provincial overseers already had the momentum of establishing themselves as kings, and only the Gansu overseers were concurrently served by a provincial governor, which had neither military strength nor bad deeds. In order to ease relations with Li Fatzi, Duan Qirui promised to appoint this bitter general Chen to succeed him as the overseer of Gansu.
In the end, Chen Mi was ready to take over as Governor Gan, but he did not expect that Fu Liangzuo, one of the four great Kongs under Duan Qirui, came to send him off, saying that he himself was in debt of 40,000 yuan, hoping that Chen Mi would temporarily "borrow" it when the War Department received the military salary inspector Gansu to help him solve his urgent needs. In this way, Fu Liangzuo held a grudge against Chen Mi, who was unable to get on the road, and instructed the Secretariat Office to suppress Chen Mi's specific proposal and put it on the agenda. In this way, Duan Qirui, who was too busy to discuss for several days, also forgot about this matter, and the evil people had their own evil people grinding, and Chen Mi missed the opportunity to supervise Gan.
