    At this time, the financial crisis of the Beijing government is getting more and more serious.  The Beijing government finally resisted the pressure and pinned its hopes on borrowing from foreign banks.  However, because Britain and the United States wanted to replace Jin's cabinet, which was not conducive to the Zhili clique, they resolutely disagreed with the loan. The Feng clique, as Jin Yunpeng's backer, would never give in to the other side, so the loan from the four-nation banking group was in vain, and the Beijing government  |The government's hopes were dashed.

    Jin¡¯s cabinet encountered such a serious financial crisis, but the domestic banking group not only sat back and did nothing to help, but also added insult to injury.  Because the domestic banking group is in the hands of the old transportation department, they are eager for the collapse of Jin's cabinet, which will provide them with a rare opportunity to come to power.  The leader here is Ye Gongchuo.

    Because of the incident between his nephew Charlie Ye and Miss Liang Jiu, Zhang Hanqing removed his position as Chief of Communications and almost hid in the political arena for several years. After the Liang family publicized it, everyone knew about it.  After this turmoil, he knew that the power of the Zhang family and his son was immense.  The reason why Jin Yunpeng became prime minister was almost a matter of one sentence from the Zhang family.

    Seeing that Jin Yunpeng is about to fall, I don¡¯t think the Fengtian faction will spend any money to protect this peripheral personnel.  If there is a good idea that Zhang Zuolin appreciates, it is not impossible to replace him.  Therefore, he secretly sneaked into Shenyang and offered advice to Zhang Zuolin: "If you want to control the Beijing government, you must first control the central finance, and the first step is to buy the shares of Bank of Communications."

    As the backbone of the transportation department, his vision is not without poison.  Currently, Bank of Communications is insolvent and is actually on the verge of collapse. He knows this inside story.  Zhang Zuolin only needs a very small capital investment to save him from collapse and obtain extremely high profits. Experts in the Northeast economic circle will not disagree.

    Sure enough, both Wang Yongjiang and Liu Shangqing thought this plan was brilliant.  So Zhang Zuolin and Ye Gongchuo agreed privately that Feng Xi would control the Bank of Communications through investment.  Zhang Zuolin was extremely wealthy and borrowed 40 million from the public funds of the three northeastern provinces and lent it to the Bank of Communications at a monthly interest rate of one and two cents, which would be recovered every six months, thereby controlling the Bank of Communications, which assumed the functions of the central bank.

    On August 12, Zhang Hanqing sent a secret message to Zhang Zuolin in Wuchang: "Using the suspension of pay as a threat, he demanded that the Beijing government order Xiao Yaonan's troops stationed in Hubei to withdraw northward. He also threatened Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng with overthrow of the cabinet and forced Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng to send his brother Jin Yun'e's troops to the north.  He was transferred into the battle to drive out Hunan, and in one fell swoop he was able to relieve the Jin troops from being trapped between the provincial capital and the front line."  In order to separate the direct line, Feng Yuxiang was telegraphed as the garrison envoy of Hubei, Henan and Anhui.

    The Zhili clique finally failed to form the same strength as the official history, and its lack of influence on important financial rights was an important reason for Wu Peifu's final softening.  Although Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, both directly affiliated with him, were initially dissatisfied with Jin Yunpeng's cabinet, as time passed, they became unwilling to let Jin step down.  Because a turbulent government is even more unfavorable to them: they have to raise their own military salaries, and more importantly, who should be replaced as prime minister?

    There are only a handful of people who are both important and capable. Currently, all kinds of Republican residents in Beijing and Tianjin are related to the Feng Clan. For example, the most powerful old communications department headed by Liang Shiyi is also in cahoots with Zhang Zuolin. If they  If they are mixed together, they will pose a greater threat to the direct line. On the contrary, Jin Yunpeng will be "innocent" and easily controlled.

    After a lot of bickering, Cao Wu and other direct bosses finally reluctantly reached an agreement with the British and American bosses to allow Jin Yunpeng to stay in office.  But this was also the beginning of their rift, because they found that Zhili's agent was completely unable to take on the important role.

    It was Zhang Hanqing who extended an olive branch at the right time. As the patrol envoy of Shaanxi, Gansu and Hubei, he issued several decrees one after another, which quickly improved the situation in Hubei.

    One is the "Yangtze River Transportation Safety Charter", which calls on all provinces along the river to ensure the safety and freedom of the Yangtze River waters, and all checkpoints along the river waterways need to be abolished.

    One is the "Hubei Autonomy Charter", which aims to decentralize politics, reduce people's taxes, encourage the development of industry and economy, and prohibit all parties from intervening militarily in disputes in the province;

    One is the Hubei Charter on Freedom of Commerce and Concession Security, which declares to protect the safety of all British and American personnel and their property in China. The local Chinese government will give appropriate care to foreign investors. At the same time, the Chinese government encourages exchanges with British and American countries.  No, establish stable trade cooperation relations.

    These practices allowed people from the British and American countries who were concerned about the situation in Hubei to gradually let go of their suspicions. The people's military and government continued to protect their interests in China. Some of the economic proposals went a step further than the direct line, and some were just "open doors."  The essence of the policy cannot help but make people doubt the transformation of this young Chinese commander.

    In fact, it is not surprising to say that the "open door" is not much more surprising than the "reform and opening up" of later generations. The only difference is that the Chinese government also has sovereignty.  At this time, whether China agrees or not, "open door" has taken root in China for decades.

    ?The Fengxian achieved an epoch-making exchange, and it was even possible to replace it with the Zhixian.  Therefore, after he optimistically expressed his admiration for Zhang Hanqing, he tactfully stated that he would advise senior officials in Washington to make the relationship between the United States and the Fengtian faction closer.

    ¡°He said so, and he actually did it.  With the joint efforts of both parties, the relationship between the United States and Britain has made a significant breakthrough. At least the Zhili system has gradually ceased to be the sole agent of Britain and the United States in China.  In this way, the Feng Clan has removed the biggest possible obstacle to the unification of China by force, and the situation at home and abroad is favorable to the Feng Clan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
