    The young commander's indifferent people seemed to be conniving at the Zhili's actions. After waiting and watching for a while, they resolutely sounded the charge. This time, the target was already targeting the administrative center.

    On June 6, Gao Lingwei, a member of the direct cabinet of the Cao faction and a fellow countryman of Cao Kun, and others forced Prime Minister Zhang Shaozeng to lead the cabinet to resign collectively in the name of Li Yuanhong's infringement of cabinet powers, making it difficult for Li to issue decrees. This was a prelude to the collapse of the direct cabinet.

    Because when the Zhizhi and Fengtian co-administered Beijing, power was concentrated in the hands of Jin Yunpeng's cabinet, and Prime Minister Jin obeyed the needs of the Fengcian clique, and most of his cabinet members also tended to favor the Fengcian clique.  After both parties jointly expelled Xu Shichang, it was an expedient measure to replace Li Yuanhong with power. Zhang Hanqing agreed with him only because he believed that he could be accepted by all parties and could peacefully unite all parties to establish a unified central government.

    But after the Sun Yat-sen government lost power, the central government still had a situation in which Beijing was jointly managed by the Central Government and the Central Government, and Li, the president, had no role.  Moreover, he has returned to his old ways and has not learned the lesson of being driven away by Duan Qirui, and he has been changing cabinet members on a large scale.

    Although the figures in the Feng clique have not changed, in order to promote his own people, he reached some opinions with the Zhili clique and replaced some of the socially virtuous and neutral people among the cabinet members with people from both sides, making the cabinet become either you or me, which is more.  Fighting and lack of buffers lead to political instability.

    If they had not worried about the Feng clique¡¯s ability to ¡°veto¡± this cabinet with one vote, Li Yuanhong and Zhang Shaozeng would have wanted to take over Sun Liechen¡¯s position as Army Chief.

    In fact, they don¡¯t need to: Sun Liechen is the commander-in-chief, but Zhang Hanqing is worried that his death from illness will happen again in history, so he temporarily leaves the heavy workload of vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People¡¯s Party to live in Beijing.  This general manager needs people but no one, and he needs money but no money. He spends all day doing metaphysical things such as organization and planning. It is not interesting at all, but they think it is just delicious food!

    Therefore, Zhang Hanqing concluded that it would be difficult for them to achieve great results, so he concentrated on cultivating the 17 provinces under his control and was completely disinterested in the central government. Otherwise, Li and Zhang would not have been able to create such a big momentum in the cabinet.  However, even though the Feng faction kept silent, they did not dare to do so in the end. They just made Jin Yongyan the deputy chief of the army, which at least gained some reputation in the military circles.

    Since he didn¡¯t even have the consciousness to be a puppet, so the Zhili clique got up first and overthrew the cabinet. Zhang Hanqing was happy to see it happen and knew their thoughts, so it was much easier to handle.  Anyway, if the government is to form a cabinet again without the approval of the clan, no matter who is nominated to form the cabinet or serve as the chief minister, it will be in vain.

    The resignation of a cabinet prime minister was not uncommon in the Republic of China, but Zhang Zuolin still sent someone to ask Zhang Hanqing what he meant.  This eldest son and chief think tank has a profound ability to win in chaos, and in politics, Zhang Zuolin has changed from belief to superstition.  Since he is in Beijing, it would be better to entrust him with full authority to handle matters in Beijing. It is more convenient to be nearby. The key is to not delay things when the matter is urgent.

    The direct line was in a hurry, so Li Yuanhong had no choice but to ask the Feng line for help. He asked Gu Weijun to form a cabinet.  Because Gu Weijun was the young marshal's ally and close friend, and was the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs at the time, he had high hopes.  If he is willing to come out, the Zhili Clique will not dare to cause any more rebellions, and the crisis will naturally be resolved. This is called "using barbarians to control barbarians."

    Gu Weijun was a little tempted.

    ??It¡¯s easy to say that the Prime Minister of the Republic of China should be: several chief ministers are responsible for their own affairs, major decisions are authorized by the president, and they usually accept questions from the Congress, which is mainly a matter of words.

    Gu Weijun is a big brother in the diplomatic community, so it is not a problem to deal with these guys who are talking on paper.  Feng Xi is the big boss. As long as he doesn't go overboard, and based on his relationship with the young marshal, as long as major issues don't go astray, there's no problem in serving as prime minister in a meaningful way.

    Of course, you should ask the young commander for his opinion on such a big matter.  Without his approval, the position of prime minister would be a crater.  But Zhang Hanqing just smiled and chatted with him, but didn't get to the point.

    ?According to Gu Weijun¡¯s intelligence, he should have understood what the young marshal meant, but he still couldn¡¯t help but do something that could ¡°pass on to future generations¡±. Prime Minister of a country!

    He still pointedly asked Zhang Hanqing - they were also very familiar with each other in private: "Young Marshal, Song Qing (Li Yuanhong's nickname) suggested that I form the cabinet. I think this is also a good thing. I can take this opportunity to replace some of the direct officials  People, put our people up. If we completely control the cabinet and have young marshals and old marshals working on the periphery, the whole of Beijing will be ours."

    He is also smart. He first made his position clear: I am thinking about the Fengxian.

    Zhang Hanqing doesn¡¯t doubt this. Gu Weijun is not at the core of the Feng Faction, so it is normal for him not to understand his core policies. Besides, he has no way of knowing some of the secret arrangements. All he can see is superficial.  Looking at his face full of expectations, I suddenly wanted to play tricks on him: This guy is not old, and his ambition is not small!  Thirty years ago he wanted to be Prime Minister!

      Gu Weijun is twelve years older than him and is now thirty-five years old. He thinks he is too young. Why didn¡¯t he expect that he was only twenty-three years old and was already making waves in the political arena of the Republic of China?  What about the characters?

    Zhang Hanqing sat restlessly on the chair and squirmed his buttocks back and forth. Of course Gu Weijun wanted to express his concern: "What's wrong, young commander? Are you feeling unwell?"

    Zhang Hanqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you sit for a long time, your buttocks will always fall and hang, which will cause an unpleasant feeling."

    "What's the meaning?"

    "I'm so bored!"

    The two looked at each other and laughed. This was a joke between men. Gu Weijun also understood and stopped mentioning it.

    Zhang Hanqing, on the other hand, said to him seriously: "The intention of the Zhili clique to suddenly overthrow the government is obvious. They want to use legal means to achieve a goal that cannot be achieved militarily, so they are determined to win. I don't want you to get involved in this sewage now."  . In this position, people from the Feng Clan cannot do it, and neither can people who have a good relationship with the Feng Clan.

    The Zhili Clique is too strong in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area. I have decided to defend Tianjin with all my strength and let them have fun in Beijing.  There will be big changes in Beijing in the near future. If possible, I hope you will keep a low profile and not stand out, or simply go to Tianjin with me. Anyway, the cabinet has been dissolved, and you can't be the foreign minister.  "

    For Zhang Hanqing, Gu Weijun was quick-thinking and capable. He performed extremely well in the negotiations on the Shandong issue in Paris. Later, he achieved outstanding results in a series of foreign exchanges and was recognized as the first-class diplomat of the Republic of China. Even the CCP  He was also highly regarded. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong entrusted Zhang Hanzhi, a delegation to the United Nations General Assembly, to invite him to visit China. After his death, Li Luye, the representative to the United Nations, was sent to express his condolences in person, which fully demonstrated that his abilities were recognized by all political parties.

    The Feng Faction has outstanding talents in various fields such as military, politics, strategy, and economy, but on the diplomatic front, it lacks a backbone figure.  Historically, the reason why Mao Zedong was so great was that Premier Zhou, a leader in the diplomatic community, complemented him. He was already standing at the pinnacle of his times (although not the highest, because he was afraid of the wind and his waist was too strong) and needed help.

    This was the first time that Gu Weijun heard Zhang Hanqing talk about the political situation from the bottom of his heart, and he knew that the situation was not as simple as he thought.  He had always believed in the young marshal's political wisdom, and there was no need to lie to himself.  If he simply doesn't want you to form a cabinet, you can just tell him directly: "I already like so-and-so." There is no need to go around such a big detour.

    ???????????????????? But it¡¯s hard to see that the calm political scene in Beijing would have such hidden risks, and that it would make the young commander retreat?  Whether to stay or go, he was lost in thought.

    To be honest, he is not a loyal man, whether in marriage or career.  Because he wanted to marry Tang Baoyue, the daughter of Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, he made Zhang Hengshan, his "father-in-law by marriage" who had a keen eye for people and rekindled kindness, angry to death, and therefore made his betrothed since childhood become a nun; for the success of his career, he resolutely decided to marry Zhang Hengshan.  After accepting the "one pound fate", he later married the ugly girl Huang Huilan, the richest overseas Chinese in England.

    Of course, he has a sharp vision. Relying on the power of money and, of course, his own real ability, he became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China not long after returning to China.

    Beijing¡¯s political scene is ups and downs, and Gu Weijun is pulling in all aspects: for those who lose for a while, Gu Weijun will provide support and ¡°burn the cold stove¡±. If the loser comes back to power, of course Gu will become more popular.  So much so that in history, before Gu Weijun formed a cabinet later, someone asked Zhang Shizhao: "Gu Shaochuan wants to form a cabinet, do you think it will become a reality?" Zhang Shizhao replied happily: "With Mrs. Gu's wealth, it is not difficult for Shaochuan to become president.  More than just a Prime Minister!¡±

    Soon after, he became the Prime Minister.

    Even after the collapse of the Beiyang government in history, and so many celebrities withdrawing from the stage of history, he was still able to knock on Song Ziwen's door with great courtesy through his wife's route. From minister to ambassador, he once again became a celebrity in Chinese politics.

    American scholar Mr. Tang Degang believes that he is one half of the "two and a half diplomats" since China's modern diplomacy. Because of his status as a professional diplomat, he is not as good as Zhou Enlai, who created a powerful country, or even not as good as Zhou Enlai, who was born into a new country.  Li Hongzhang, the diplomat of a weak country at that time.

    Zhang Hanqing waited quietly for his decision. This was a big issue of right and wrong and could not be replaced by personal friendship.  If he continues to make no progress or retreat in the general direction, it is estimated that when the People's Party takes complete control of China, it will be the time for him to quit his career as a diplomat.

    On the surface, he seemed to be in the political arena of the Republic of China like a fish in water.  In fact, he understands that in the diplomatic field, he can still have a place with his qualifications, English background and excellent speech, but he is excluded from core issues such as formulating national policies and directions

    In this short half-quarter of an hour of consideration, he thought of the tragedy at the Paris Peace Conference a few years ago, the hardships of signing the Shandong issue, and the constraints that warlord disputes have brought to China's diplomacy.  Later, after the sudden rise of the People's Party and the People's Army, they became tough on Japan and Russia and exerted huge influence at home. There was a chance to realize his great power ambitions.

    By following the young marshal, relying on the relationship between public and private, he can fully realize his ambition. In this case, it is necessary to keep advancing and retreating with him.  He wanted to understand the matter, raised his head, smiled slightly and said: "It's a good idea to go to Tianjin, I'm so busy here!"

    The two looked at each other and smiled, and through a tacit understanding, they became lifelong friends.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The difficulty of the issue reminds me of the constraints that warlord disputes have brought to China's diplomacy.  Later, after the sudden rise of the People's Party and the People's Army, they became tough on Japan and Russia and exerted huge influence at home.
