The Survival Wisdom of the Beiyang Era (331): A mountain is higher than a mountain.
In the summer of the eleventh year of the Republic of China, the hot horn of the Beiyang Temple was none other than Wu Peifu, a generation of jade marshals. Threatening to defeat the power of the Anhui warlords and defeat the Warlords of the Feng clan again in the First Zhifeng War, Zhang Zuolin, the invincible king of the Northeast, also had to avoid his sharp edge, reluctantly retreated to Guanwai and surrendered the authority of the Beiyang Center. However, this "Siberian Tiger" with a scheming heart has also been waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, and Xu Shichang, the nominal president of the Beiyang Temple, is not a good stubble that is resigned to it. As a "crystal fox" who could sway in the late Qing Dynasty and the eunuch sea mixed with fish and dragons, Xu Shichang's embarrassing situation was the product of the beiyang warlords' equal strength, Feng Duan calmly came out of the mountains when they were in contention, swayed when they fought directly, and danced with long sleeves between the forces of all sides, and always tried his best to maintain everything.
However, as the former governor of the three eastern provinces, Xu Shichang naturally had a preference for the warlords of the Feng clan, and did not hesitate to fake the tiger and look at Zhang Zuolin. However, when the Fengjun army was defeated and retreated, Zhang Zuolin did not forget to put a wildfire on the "crystal fox" around him, after all, Xu Shichang had always refused to fully accept Zhang Zuolin's dispatch, and more often than not, he still saw the wind and steered. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin blamed Xu Shichang for the fengjun entry into the customs to intensify the Zhifeng war, claiming that he had sent troops into the customs, and it was Xu Shichang who sent his brother Xu Shizhang and his secretary Wu Jiasun to Fengtian as lobbyists one after another, asking him to come to "gongwei Jingshi" and directly push the Fengzhi warlords to the ground. Everything was blamed on Xu Shichang to clean up, and the "Crystal Fox" could only eat Huang Lian dumbly in front of the same experienced "Northeast Tiger".
After that, Xu Shichang naturally understood that it was good to cool under the big tree, so he could not throw away Zhang Zuolin's signboard, otherwise he would not have the chip of "pulling the tiger skin and pulling the big banner" in front of the direct warlords, and he would not be able to sing the role of his own fox fake tiger. To this end, after Xu Shichang issued an order to punish the warlords of the Feng clan, he secretly explained to Zhang Zuolin, and at the same time advised him not to retreat for the time being and wait for a favorable opportunity to make a comeback, after all, the fox fake tiger Wei needed conditions, that is, this Northeast Tiger could not unload its armor and return to the mountain. However, Xu Shichang's two-sided and three-knife approach caused Wu Peifu's disgust even more, at this time, the overall situation of the two sides of the direct confrontation had been determined, Wu Peifu had the strength to question Xu Shichang xingshi, and Zhang Zuolin did not mix sand between the two before leaving, so Xu Shichang, who was a fox fake tiger, could also be regarded as exposing the fox's tail.
In the end, since there was no big tree to rely on, Xu Shichang had to sacrifice another magic weapon, that is, the "drag" word trick. Regarding the telegram of the direct warlord Sun Chuanfang to persuade him to retire, Xu Shichang issued a telegram saying: "Although the contemptible people are in the grass, they can enjoy peace for many years, which is ten times better than today. It was clear that he was unwilling to leave, and it dragged on until June 2 of that year, when Qian Shaoqing, under Wu Peifu's command, called Xu Shichang's mansion several times in a row and asked when Xu Shichang would leave Beijing. At that time, Xu Shichang was setting up a banquet to entertain Gu Weijun, so he announced his resignation after the banquet and temporarily bid farewell to the Beiyang Temple. However, Xu Shichang's various wrists and love stacks are more of the helplessness of the literati's good name, as a scholar, it is not feasible to reason with a group of "grass-headed kings", and in addition to the survival law of the weak and the strong in the temple, it is naturally indispensable to the fox fake tiger wei.
