Duan Qirui
Author Lantai
China's earliest "creation" for itself was not a traffic star at all, but the Beiyang warlords.
The Beiyang warlords all love to portray themselves through the media as "heroes who don't love money, don't smoke opium, and don't have a bad female color".
Among them, the best ones are Duan Qirui, the "Six NoEs Premier", Wu Peifu, the "Inspector of Xiucai", and Zhang Zuolin, who is "absolutely selfless", and there is another person who has made a big achievement, surnamed Feng, and his specific deeds can be searched by everyone.
Duan Qirui is known as the "Six NoEs" Premier.
The so-called "six noes" are "no smoking, no drinking, no prostitution, no gambling, no greed, and no occupation."
The non-smoking here can refer to both cigarettes and opium, because China has been plagued by opium since the Opium War, so after the Xinhai Revolution, public opinion even smoking behavior has been accused.
Not occupying refers to Duan Qirui's lack of purchase of property and his own private property.
However, the "six noes" of "not smoking, not drinking, not prostituting, not gambling, not greedy, and not occupying" are completely "human designs" created by Duan Qirui through the media.
Duan Qirui had a relatively serious stomach disease as early as the period of studying in Germany, the doctor warned him that it was best not to smoke, drink and eat too much greasy food, Duan Qirui can be said to be the most "Hader" in the Beiyang warlords, and the German doctor's words he must be regarded as the "holy will".
Therefore, Duan Qirui quit smoking and alcohol very early, and at the same time rarely ate greasy food, most of the time he was vegetarian.
However, although Duan Qirui himself "did not smoke and drink", his wife and his aunt and wife both smoked opium and smoked opium at home every day, which was exaggerated, making Duan Qirui's back house look like it was on fire.
Why did Duan Qirui's son Duan Hongye learn to smoke opium?
It's not that it's bad to learn outside, it's the result of hearing and hearing about it from childhood.
Opium addicts in the old days
And "not greedy, not occupied" is even more of a lie.
Duan Qirui's family foundation was still shaken out by Zhang Zuolin.
Because Xu Shuzheng once sent assassins to Shenyang to assassinate Zhang Zuolin, he did not want to be swept away by Zhang Zuolin, and he also sold Xu Shuzheng, the black hand behind the scenes.
As we all know, Xu Shuzheng is Duan Qirui's "mastermind", so whether Xu Shuzheng made his own opinion or acted on orders, zhang Zuolin was allowed to settle the account on Duan Qirui's head anyway, so Zhang Zuolin publicly exposed Duan Qirui's family property.
People know that Duan Qirui ostensibly rented a house, but in fact privately let his staff, Duan Qirui's government's traffic general ledger Zeng Yunpei went to Tianjin to repair Duan Qirui's house, and he still used public funds.
In addition, Duan Qirui also reported 2 million yuan in military expenditure in the process of crusade against Zhang Xun, which naturally went into Duan Qirui's pocket; in addition, Duan Qirui also had 1 million shares in the Huiye Bank jointly established by China and Japan.
This is not to mention, the Duan Qirui family also operated a coal mine in Jingxing County, producing thousands of tons of coal per day at its peak, and Duan Qirui also used the money of the Beiyang government to build a railway for his coal mine, which was specially connected to the Shitai Line.
In the 1930s, Duan Hongye, the eldest son of Duan Qirui, also built nine conjoined fake three-storey garden houses in Shanghai, called "Hongye Garden".
All in all, Duan Qirui is not particularly greedy among his colleagues, but to say that he is "not greedy and not occupied" is also a joke.
Creating a human body is similar to a gold body
The reason why the Beiyang warlords love to "create people" for themselves is mainly the old tradition of "attaching importance to qing deliberations" retained by the former Qing Dynasty, to know the end of an era, not the Qing Dynasty royal family announced the abdication of the Ai XinJue Luo family, even if it is over, just like the collapse of an old house of several floors, not the collapse of the house, at least until the smoke and dust dissipate before it is completely over.
Therefore, the first batch of Beiyang warlords, such as Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Wu Peifu, also retained the habit of "attaching importance to Qing deliberations" retained by the former Qing Dynasty, and felt that it was important to have a good reputation, so the Beiyang warlords would "create people" for themselves one by one.
When Chiang Kai-shek came to power, it would not work, and Chiang Kai-shek did not think that the media had so much influence, anyway, it was "those who follow us prosper and those who rebelled against us perished.", and the reporters and media who dared to expose Chiang Kai-shek's black materials were either sealed and imprisoned, and their lives were difficult to protect.
It is estimated that duan Qirui, these Beiyang remnants, when they saw how Chiang Kai-shek assassinated reporters, would definitely give a thumbs up and praise: Or your boy is playing beautifully.
