    The reason is this. When Duan Qirui was pretending to be ill in Xishan, the envoy Xia Shoukang impeached Xu Shuzheng for cheating on foreign arms by 400,000 yuan. However, no evidence could be provided and the matter was abandoned.

    Who is Xia Shoukang?  That is President Yuan Da's number one hidden staff.  Under the Yuan family, there is absolutely no outstanding figure who has the power for a while. Because of his talent, Yuan's way of employing people is to choose people for the task and want everyone to be driven by him. For example: in Xinhai, when dealing with the Qing Dynasty, Yuan used  Hu Weide, Zhao Bingjun, and Liang Shiyi; for peace negotiations in the south, Yuan Yong was Cantonese Tang Shaoyi and Wang Zhaoming; to contact Li Yuanhong, Yuan Yong was Zhang Guogan and Xia Shoukang; for the battle of Guichou, Yuan Chong's second section (Duan Qirui and Duan Zhigui); for Japan  During the negotiations on the 21st, Yuan gave full authority to Cao Rulin (Cao was only the deputy minister of foreign affairs at the time, and actually stayed in the Chunyizhai Palace of the Presidential Palace); if he wanted to change the state system, he used Yang Du; if he wanted to control the political party, he used Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong; in order to  When the Model Regiment was established in the army, Yuan re-employed Chen Guangyuan; in the Generalissimo Command Office of the Navy and Army, he trusted Wang Shizhen (at that time, in the Presidential Palace, there were Xia Shoutian and Zhang Yilu, Wu Youyinchang and Tang Zaili, Zhang Zhenfang Si Duzhi, and Lu Jianzhang as agents)  ; To negotiate with Britain, Yuan Nai entrusted Cai Tingqian and recruited Zhu Erdian; in order to clear the way for US President Wilson, Yuan actually used the unknown Gu Weijun

    But Xia Shoukang is an exception.

    He is Yuan Shikai¡¯s most trusted confidant, and the top management knows everything about him.  His appearance, although the evidence was not sufficient, sent a message to the outside world: Lao Yuan was dissatisfied with Xu Shuzheng again.

    The saying "again" can be traced back to the winter of the second year of the Republic of China, when Duan Qirui, then chief of the army, went to Hankou on Yuan Shikai's order to urge Li Yuanhong to go north and replace Li as the governor of Hubei.  According to official practice, if the commander-in-chief is absent, Xu Shuzheng, the deputy chief of the army, should act as his deputy. However, Yuan wanted to send Zhou Ziqi to act as deputy minister, which showed that Yuan had a bad impression of Xu Shuzheng.

    This incident was probably caused by Lao Yuan, who was trying to embarrass him or give up.  Before, I was worried about Duan Qirui's face, but now, Xu Shuzheng's biggest benefactor has left, and this extremely smart and talented "little fan" can no longer incite Duan Qirui to cause trouble for him.

    At this time, there were rumors that Lao Yuan was preparing to replace Tian Zhongyu.  Because Duan Qirui had just been dismissed from the post of Army Chief a few days ago, it was difficult for Xu Shuzheng to be the deputy commander¡ª¡ªhe no longer wanted to be.

    At this time, Zhang Hanqing came to the door and said that he was following the instructions of the former chief Duan Qirui.  Xu Shuzheng never looked down upon others, but he treated Duan Qirui like a god - Duan was both his guide and his confidant.

    This was also the first time Zhang Hanqing met this figure who influenced the early years of the Republic of China for more than ten years.  Xu Shuzheng was in his prime at this time. He had a standard military crew cut, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was very energetic. This reminded Zhang Hanqing of one of his nicknames "Xu Xuzhou", and his appearance was indeed very "Xuzhou".

    This is not a derogatory term. Calling someone by their place of origin is traditionally a respectful title for that person, just like "Duan Hefei" and "Yuan Xiangcheng" in that era.  The ancients also had similar names, such as Liu Zongyuan was also called Liu Hedong, Han Yu was also called Han Changli, etc.  Xu Shuzheng's standard Chinese character face is exactly in line with the physiognomy of people in Xuzhou and the north.

    Xu Shuzheng paid rare attention to Zhang Hanqing's arrival. Firstly, he had Duan Qirui's autographed letter, and secondly, he had heard to some extent what Jiang and Cai had said about Zhang Hanqing.  When he saw that Zhang Hanqing was indeed just a young man, he sighed softly in his heart and thought nonchalantly: "Are these two expired generals pretending to make shocking remarks to increase their sense of existence?"

    He looked at the note Zhang Hanqing took out and pondered in silence.  Zhang Hanqing also understood his situation, so he pretended to be very enthusiastic and said: "This is not a big deal. If Uncle Xu is in trouble, I will think of a solution and forget it is a big deal."

    Who knew that these words made Xu Shuzheng furious and said: "What a big deal! Take me to the General Affairs Department to find Tang Zaili, just tell me what I said, and those people you mentioned will be dealt with immediately!"  One day, the Army Under-Secretary-in-Chief had to use his remaining energy. He filled out a transfer letter in his own hand and signed and sealed it.

    It is better to challenge the general than to provoke him. Knowing that Xu Shuzheng was arrogant and arrogant, Zhang Hanqing saw someone drugging him and deliberately retreated in order to advance.  What a joke, if he could really let it go, would he eagerly go to the Duan Mansion and then come back to the Army Ministry to trouble him?  With his words, Zhang Hanqing could safely and boldly collect private goods.  While applying for the names of Yang Wenkai, Deng Yancun and others, he also added Jiang Dengxuan's name, in order to enrich the teacher base of Fengtian Lecture Hall.

    Zhang Hanqing had already had experience entering the office. This time he was still accompanied by Cai E. He directly met with the actual handler and director of the General Affairs Department Tang Zaili and requested that Yang, Deng, Jiang and others be transferred to Fengtian Arsenal and Fengtian Martial Arts Hall respectively.  .

    As soon as the list came out, Tang Zaili hesitated.  Jiang Baili??Although Cai E is famous, he is only in name but has no real power, so he can politely refuse because the president has said it before.  Although Xu Shuzheng's reputation is not as famous as the first two, he is much more difficult to deal with than them.  Although Duan Qirui was removed from the post of Army Chief, who doesn't know who is really in charge of the Beiyang Army?

    Since the founding of the Republic of China, Duan Qirui has long held the position of Chief of Army. He also served as the Director of the Military Department of the Presidential Office (this position was later taken by Yuan Shikai).  Regarding the organization and deployment of the army, as well as the selection and recruitment of generals, Duan was almost entirely in charge.  Moreover, most of the new forces in the Beiyang Army were successfully cultivated by the Duan family, and Duan's relationship gradually replaced Yuan's relationship.

    Although these military experts are good, there is no need to fall out with Xu Shuzheng. That person is notoriously difficult to get along with, and the meat will rot in the pot anyway.  However, Jiang Dengxuan's matter is not easy to handle. He has to advance and retreat with Zhu Qinglan. He has resigned, so it is difficult to use administrative methods to transfer him.  Besides, he is far away in Heilongjiang, and it is not very convenient to send and receive text messages. Such transfer must be done through consultation with me.

    He then replied: "Yang and Deng will be released immediately by the general office, but the matter of Jiang Deng's election should be discussed in the long term."

    This sentence is nothing at all. Negotiations take time.  Zhang Hanqing was satisfied with the fact that he had obtained several ordnance experts as he wished, and he did his best for Jiang Dengxuan. Although things were not harmonious, there were reasons for them, so he gave up on them as soon as they were good.  He immediately expressed his gratitude and said, "I feel sincere that the director of the department can accomplish this. I would like to thank you on behalf of my father."

    However, when Tang Zaili spoke, he attracted the attention of another person.  He glanced at Zhang Hanqing, suddenly laughed and said, "Is this little friend the Han Qing whom Generals Chiang and Cai praised?" Zhang Hanqing looked over after hearing the sound.  About thirty-five or six.  As soon as he spoke, the originally noisy office suddenly became quiet.

    Who is this?  How could he have such a great aura that even Tang Zaili took the initiative to say hello?  Zhang Hanqing did not dare to neglect, and said hurriedly: "That is the love between two uncles, it is the junior Zhang Xueliang." Under the eaves, one can only pretend to be a grandson.  In this command office, everyone was a famous figure in the early Republic of China. No one was less influential than his father, Zhang Zuolin, so he could only smile with everyone.

    The man smiled and said: "The two generals are not people who love you casually. We in the Guards have been admiring them for a long time!"

    Zhang Hanqing understood.  The Gongwei Army was created by Lao Yuan in order to establish a new branch of the Beiyang Army. It was placed under the Model Regiment and was regarded as a new army in the Beiyang Army.  The first phase of the model regiment was led by Lao Yuan himself, and a total of four brigades of the Guards, two regiments of artillery and cavalry, and a machine gun battalion were cultivated. The effect was very good.  So Lao Yuan continued to train the second group, and this time the leader was his eldest son Yuan Keding. In this way, everyone with a discerning eye knew that this model group existed to replace the Beiyang Army - Duan Qirui had been involved in the Beiyang Army for too long.  Lao Yuan couldn't believe it.

    And this middle-aged man is Lu Jin, Yuan Keding¡¯s deputy and the actual person in charge of the Model Regiment and the Guards Army.  The Presidential Command Office has two directors with real power. One is Tang Zaili, the director of the General Affairs Department, and the other is the director of the Military Affairs Department, which is concurrently held by Lu Jin.  He focused all his energy on the Guards and rarely came to the office.

    What name do you admire?  Do you really think that you will become a character just by being praised by two generals?  Zhang Hanqing is not so superficial.  As for the Chinese, we can think about it from two directions.  Since Lu Jin is Yuan Keding's closest confidant - otherwise Lao Yuan would not be able to trust such an important army to him, so can this sentence be understood this way: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

    Zhang Hanqing, who has initially achieved his goal, does not want to get into trouble, especially when the situation between the enemy and ourselves is unclear but the probability of the enemy is high, he wants to get down to business first.  But Lu Jin has already entangled him, and it's not that easy to drive him away.  He interfered in such a disgusting way, and Zhang Hanqing had an ominous premonition: I am afraid that good things will take a long time.

    Sure enough, Lu Jin said with a smile: "Is Nephew Zhang Xian doing something? He has only been here for two months, and he can already go to the Presidential Command Office to do things. It can be seen that the two generals have really good vision¡ª¡ªNephew Zhang Xian  This is?"

    Zhang Hanqing had no choice but to play it off and said: "It's not a big deal, just go through the process." He had already sent greetings to all three generations of his ancestors in his heart.

    Lu Jin was still smiling: "My dear nephew, it's true that there are not many young people who can do things according to the rules. If there is any need for my help, I won't find it troublesome." As he said this, he looked at the transfer letter.

    When he saw the names of Deng Yancun, Jia Xiaohou and others, his eyes flashed.  "Good guy, we caught all the experts from the Military Industry Department. Did they move or something?" Lu Jin was still smiling, but his eyes had become sharp.

    Zhang Hanqing knew he was going to suffer, but there was no way to hide it, after all, he had seen it all.  In a moment of urgency, he hurriedly said: "The Ministry of War has agreed to temporarily lend them to Fengtian. We will have another say after the arsenal is operating normally."

    Lu Jin suddenly threw the transfer letter on the table and said loudly: "The Ministry of War is making nonsense! The President has repeatedly ordered that stability should be the priority in troubled times, and military and political power should be vested in the Generalissimo's Command Office of the Army and Navy. For such a big matter,  How dare the Army Department operate in private! Do they still take the President seriously?!"
