Chapter 15 Warlords to the left, rogues to the right

⊙All civil servants in Guangxi wear Guangxi-style cloth shoes. Anyone who wears new-style western clothes and foreign shoes is considered an unemployed person or a foreign visitor.Only Li Zongren wore long riding boots, which was a special case.Some people speculate that Li is a local leader, and he wears riding boots to show his heroic posture.An important person asked Ms. Li's wife, Ms. Guo Dejie, for proof. Guo Wan'er said, "There is no one else to avoid mosquitoes and gnats." It turns out that there are a lot of mosquitoes in Guangxi. ⊙Feng Yuxiang was placed under house arrest by Yan Xishan in Hebian Village, Wutai County, Shanxi.Once, Xu Zhucheng from "Ta Kung Pao" came to visit and invited him to have a meal with him.Xu asked Feng: "Is there any good news ahead?" Feng pointed at the hot pot with his chopsticks and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, the only source of news I have now is it." Seeing Xu was puzzled, Feng continued: "Every time they beat it, there will be meatballs in the hot pot. If there are only cabbage vermicelli, it must be defeated." After speaking, he laughed out loud.

⊙Chen Jitang's wife, Mo Xiuying, used to be a woman who killed chickens in the market. Chen fell in love with Mo at first sight, so he sent his brother and military advisor Chen Weizhou to find out.After asking, I couldn't help being overjoyed. It turned out that Mrs. Mo had seven red moles on the soles of her feet, which was called "Seven Stars on Foot" in her horoscope; there was a big cinnabar mole on the side of her navel, which happened to correspond to Chen Jitang's cinnabar palm, and she was definitely a prosperous woman. Fu Mashiko's fate. ⊙Liang Shuming commented on Han Fuju and said: "He admires Confucian philosophy very much, and has read some works of Confucianism and Mencius, so he is not completely a warrior."

⊙ On the birthday of Confucius, Zhang Zuolin would take off his military uniform and put on a long gown and mandarin jacket, and then he would go to various schools and bow to the teachers, saying that we are rough and don’t understand anything, and it’s all thanks to the hard work of the teachers to educate the next generation. I came here specially to thank you, Yunyun. ⊙In May 1917, Li Yuanhong dismissed Duan Qirui as Prime Minister.Duan then called the provinces and said: "The responsibility cabinet system of the republic and each country cannot take effect without the countersignature of the prime minister. The above documents have not been countersigned by Qirui, and Qirui will not be responsible for any impact on the local country in the future."

⊙Wu Peifu's classmate Wang Zhaozhong came to attach himself, and Wu gave him a colonel and adjutant.Wang was not satisfied, saying that he was "both civil and military, especially rich in political common sense", and applied to be a county magistrate in Henan.Wu commented: "How innocent are the people of Yu?"The original is then returned.This gentleman is actually ignorant of current affairs, and dreams of being a brigade commander. He asked for instructions: "I would like to bring a brigade commander to fight for the peace of Guangdong and Guangxi. In the future, I will report to Luoyang, release my armor and return to the field, and entertain myself by planting trees." : Let’s plant trees.

⊙Zhu Zhuowen is going to rebuild the Town God's Temple into the Xiangshan County Government.When demolishing the temple, the construction workers were afraid of profaning the gods and dared not do it. Zhu Zhuowen picked up 20 prisoners from the prison and personally supervised them to bring them to the temple. As a result, these prisoners did not dare to tear down the statues.Zhu pulled out his pistol and fired a few shots at the statue of the temple god before the prisoners dared to attack. ⊙Yuan Keqi once recalled Yuan Shikai’s treatment of concubines: “My father treats them all as the same. No matter whether they distribute things or give money, there is no preference. Therefore, the whole family is safe, and I have never seen any quarrels. Yes. I remember that the third concubine wanted to buy a pair of gold bracelets, and my father said, yes! One pair for each person, and it’s not okay to buy it alone. The monthly payment is the same for each house, and no one can take more.”

⊙Yuan Shikai once said to foreign reporters: "The common people in China are uncivilized and don't understand democracy and freedom. They cannot be ruled by non-imperial systems." ⊙After Duan Qirui's ruling government was established, Hubei governor Xiao Yaonan sent someone to meet Duan, saying: "Xiao Dujun was a soldier when he was in power and in charge of the government. From serving as a soldier to taking charge of a province's military administration, he was cultivated by the ruling. He loves the ruling , like a child to a loving mother." Duan replied: "You tell Governor Xiao that he is a border official in a province, and that he should be good to the country and the people, which is justified; what's the point of being good to me personally?"

⊙Wu Peifu himself does not prostitute, gamble, or smoke opium, so he does not allow his subordinates to have such bad habits. Once found, he must be severely investigated and dealt with, ranging from dismissal to execution.An artillery regiment commander who once prostituted himself died on the battlefield. Wu said: "The battlefield is a sacred battlefield. There is no room for unclean people. The gods cannot tolerate such unclean people." ⊙At May Fourth, Wu Peifu asked the Beiyang government to release the arrested students.He shouted loudly during the power-on: "Great rivers and mountains are at the mercy of others. With a little heart, no one has righteous indignation. Those students, inspired by patriotic enthusiasm, are running around shouting, one after another, striking bells with grass and stones with eggs. They are not enthusiastic about fighting for power. It’s not for the purpose of forming a party. His heart is sympathetic, his aspirations are commendable, and his feelings can be justified.”

⊙Every time Zhang Zongchang went back to his hometown, whether he rode a horse or took a car, he got off his horse and got off the car a few miles away from home, and then walked into the city.Someone asked him why, and he said, "How dare you put on airs in a state of parents." ⊙When Feng Yuxiang was in Sichuan, conflicts occurred between his subordinates and "friendly troops".Feng immediately assembled his team and gave a speech: "Just now someone came to report that the soldiers of the Fourth Mixed Brigade called us 'Sun Tzu Bing'. Everyone was very angry, but I think they scolded us very well. According to historical relations, their brigade The chief once served as the coordinator of the 20th town, and I also came from the 20th town, and you are my students. Counting, aren’t you two generations shorter? Let’s take clothes as an example. The son of silk is satin, and satin is the son of satin. His son is cloth, and now they wear silk and we wear cloth. Isn’t it right to say that we are Sun Tzu soldiers? But that being said, if we go to the battlefield one day, we will be able to see who is the real grandpa and who The real grandson is here."

⊙Zhang Zongchang once engraved the seven-character motto on his saber: "Be bold when things are difficult."He also made many sabers engraved with these words and presented them to his trusted subordinates. ⊙Wu Peifu and his staff Jiang Luobin are classmates in the Armed Forces School.At that time, Jiang bought a white folding fan, which was ruined by Wu Pomo.Wu said embarrassingly, "You can't guarantee a picture of our family's calligraphy in the future, and you can't ask for it." But Jiang refused to let him go, so Wu had to pay him a new fan.Later, Jiang went to Luoyang to join Wu Peifu and served as a military counselor.One day, he took rice paper and begged the commander-in-chief for "calligraphy".Wu recalled the past and said: "Others want words, yes. You want words, no. Do you still remember that I compensated you for your fan?" Jiang said: "This time is also the other time. Now the mud that the commander-in-chief walks on is also fragrant." The two looked at each other and laughed.

⊙Sun Yat-sen said: "Yuan Shikai is really capable of doing things, and his bearing is extraordinary; although he is used to playing tricks and tricks, he is forced to do so because of current events." ⊙Tang Zaili, Director of the Confidentiality Department of Yuan Shikai’s Presidential Palace, once talked about Duan Qirui. He said that Duan “has a proposition, and he is not lightly expressing it, but once he expresses it, if he does not adopt it, he will be unhappy.” ⊙In 1923, the Beiyang government moved to move the Senate and the House of Representatives into the three main halls of the Forbidden City - the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Preserving Harmony.When Wu Peifu learned about it, he immediately sent an objection, saying, "There are exquisite palaces in a hundred countries, and none can compare with the majesty of the three palaces. This is not only a miracle of China, but also a treasure of a hundred countries... If it is demolished, China will lose this place forever." Great works and ancient relics are laughed at by all countries, even if they don’t count, how can they bear to use the Forbidden City for hundreds of years to support a few people? I hope that perseverance will preserve the treasures of a hundred countries, and there is nothing to pray for.”The motion to relocate the two chambers was stopped.

⊙After Yuan Shikai ascended the throne, Feng Guozhang said angrily to his cronies: "I have been with the old man (referring to Yuan Shikai) for so many years. I have sacrificed my own ideas and helped him to be the head of state. I still don't tell the truth to me. In the end, it is still an imperial system. He is self-reliant, he is passed on to his sons but not his talents, how will Cao Pi (referring to Yuan Keding) like this be able to serve him in the future." ⊙Not all powerful figures in Beiyang are lustful.Li Yuanhong was a first wife and had two wives; Feng Guozhang had two wives and one concubine, and his second wife, Zhou Di, was his stepmother; although Duan Qirui had seven wives successively, he was in the "Six Nos". In the claim, it clearly stated "no whoring". ⊙Duan Qirui does not smoke, drink, prostitute, gamble, be greedy, or take possession. He is known as the "Six Nos Prime Minister".He also has the reputation of "three republics" because of the three events of calling to force the Qing emperor to abdicate, crusade against Zhang Xun's restoration, and resisting Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor. ⊙Duan Qirui is polite to literati, but not to military generals.When Lu Zhonglin, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Garrison, came to the executive government, he often pointed to the deer in front of many people and said, "This is my former soldier." , Duan said: "Primary school students (Chen was a student when Duan was the head of Baoding Crash School) are talking nonsense again, and primary school students are talking nonsense again." ⊙Someone advised Zhang Zongchang to lay off redundant personnel.Zhang replied: "In life, if you don't do it for fame, you do it for profit. I, Zhang Zongchang, neither founded a military academy nor set up any training classes. Now all the more than 200,000 troops are here for me, Zhang Zongchang." Is it? The reason why they voted for me is because I am not stingy to seal their officials and give them money, which can satisfy their desires for "fame" and "profit". If I am like others, stingy with both officials and money, then The world is so big, where is there room for it? Why do you have to vote for me? Besides, all my "fame" and "profit" are not brought from home, but from everyone. I take it from others and give it away. What loss do I have for people?" ⊙On December 1, 1920, after Chen Jiongming, then governor of Guangdong Province, issued the "Gambling Prohibition Regulations", there was no gambling place in Guangzhou.For this reason, initiated by the academic circles in Guangzhou, it is planned to cast a bronze statue for Chen Jiongming to commemorate his success in banning gambling. The bridge was built in Guangzhou in 1921, named Chen Gong Ban Gambling Memorial Bridge, and the deeds of gambling ban were engraved on the stone pillars beside the bridge. ⊙In order to feed the huge army, Wu Peifu also set up clever schemes to increase donations and taxes, but he never filled his own pockets.Wu Zeng said to his secretary Yang Yunshi: "In the past, the family had a few acres of Susukida, but now the central government has subsidized 3,000 yuan, so we can get by. These days, it is a blessing to get by." ⊙He Haiming commented on Zhang Zongchang: "Sexy likes to spend, but the role of spending is to make chivalrous friends or donate to the poor. Except for whoring and gambling, he never enjoys or accumulates for himself." ⊙Lin Shu pulls Zhang Xun: Zhu Chenggong is here, Ming is here, awe-inspiring; Zhang Shijie is dead, Song is dead, and the sky is long. ⊙Zhang Zongchang is a generous person. When people from the village come to ask for a meal, Zhang usually agrees. Even if there were conflicts in the past, he never cared about it.When the friends were in trouble, Zhang Zongchang threw the ocean over without saying a word.Sun Dianying once praised Zhang very much, saying that after following so many people, Zhang Zongchang's subordinates can eat well and drink spicy food. ⊙Lin Yutang said: "I found that some people like General Zhang Zongchang who tried to restore Confucianism and improve the moral standards of others usually married five to fifteen concubines. They also had some skills in seducing young women." ⊙Sun Dianying has a catchphrase: "Know how to make money, but also know how to throw money. Knowing how to make money is a second-rate knowledge, and being able to throw money is a first-rate knowledge." Du Yuesheng also said: "A few extra zeros on monthly deposits are not counted. How much money you have is only how much money you spend.” It can be said that heroes see the same thing. ⊙Deng Junxiang, a Chinese accountant of Beijing HSBC Bank, embezzled public funds and asked someone to find Zhang Zuolin to help him escape.Zhang heard that it was foreign money that was in short supply, and he laughed and said to the visitor: "It has always been foreigners who cheated Chinese money. Your friend can cheat foreigners. He is a good boy, promising, and courageous! Your name is He is temporarily staying at your house, and I will send two brothers to your house to stand guard immediately!" ⊙Yang Sen was in Sichuan, because of his promotion of Western learning, he gained a false reputation for a while.Public opinion in central Sichuan is full of flattery, saying that he is a hero in the world, and his actions are all for the country and the people, and he is really a great chivalrous man.His reputation as a "hero" fascinated many talented women, and he sent letters to court many times. One letter said: "I would like to be a hero's concubine, not a mediocre wife." ⊙Sichuan Provincial Chairman Liu Xiang admired Liu Congyun, the magic stick, so he took him as his military advisor.Liu Shenxian then compiled and trained a "divine army", with a division system, all composed of Taoists, specializing in invulnerability.People at the time praised and said: "Liu Xiang has four armies of land, sea, air, and gods." ⊙Yang Sen, in order to fulfill his wish of "having fun with the people", took the lead in setting an example by ordering his concubines to go swimming in the river. Immediately, all the people in the city were empty, scrambling to go to the Yangtze River to watch "Women Bathing". ⊙In the summer of 1925, Zhang Zongchang chatted with Zhang Xueliang and Lu Xiaojia.A reporter surnamed Wang from a certain newspaper handed over his business card and begged for an interview. Zhang Zongchang frowned and said, "Cut it off!" After the guard went out, he came in after a while and reported: "The reporter has been shot." Lu Xiaojia was shocked and asked "Why did you kill him?" Zhang Zongchang replied nonchalantly: "On the reporter's business card, there are more than a dozen items listed in the title alone, which shows that he is by no means a good person, so it's better to cut it off." ⊙Feng Yuxiang has a military advisor named Usmanov, who likes to inquire about the Northwest Army, and often asks about military secrets, which arouses Feng Yuxiang's displeasure, saying: "Mr. How do you say it?" Usmanov shook his head: "I don't know." Feng went on to say, "A consultant looks at you, and a questioner asks a question. Consultant, it's when I look at you and ask you something. When the time comes, you can answer." ⊙In order to win over Sun Dianying, Chiang Kai-shek played mahjong with him personally.After a few rounds of playing, Sun Dianying, who is proficient in poker skills, was at odds.Jiang then tentatively said: "Brother Kuiyuan (Sun Dianying's character) has a big appetite, do you have to fight a slam?" Sun Dianying sighed and said: "I am a little greedy. If you add self-control, it will be difficult to make peace for a lifetime." Sun Dianying is using the card to say things: "All" means that no outsiders can join his army; Take full command of yourself.Jiang thought for a while, and said: "Give this deck of cards to Commander Sun. It is a meeting gift." It means that all conditions are agreed, and Sun is satisfied. ⊙When Yan Xishan ruled Shanxi, he changed the gauge of the railways in the province to narrow gauge, and specially designed the trains so that the wheels can be stretched and retracted. In addition to running on the railways in Shanxi Province, they can also run on standard gauges outside the province. Can drive.However, trains from other provinces cannot enter Shanxi because the wheels cannot be adjusted. ⊙A team of bandits defected to Zhang Zongchang admiringly, and Zhang instructed to allocate 10,000 yuan for resettlement fees.The bandit leader added a vertical line to the word "one", so "ten thousand" became "one hundred thousand".When I went to the military supply department to collect the money, it was found that there was something wrong, and I reported it according to the facts. Zhang Jing nodded and said yes, and the military supply department allocated 100,000 yuan.Afterwards, Zhang Zongchang summoned the bandit leader, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, fortunately, you only add one vertical stroke. If you add two vertical strokes, wouldn't it be 200,000 yuan? Money, there will be more money in the future, brother, you can spend it well." Do it!" The bandit really did his best to serve him and made great achievements again and again. ⊙Feng Yuxiang advocates honesty and thrift, and his subordinates are not allowed to wear satin clothes. Once he saw a soldier wearing a pair of new satin shoes, he stepped forward and bowed deeply at 90 degrees.The soldiers were bewildered and at a loss.Feng said: "I'm not saluting you, but your shoes are so beautiful, so I have to bow down!" The soldier hurriedly took off the new shoes and ran away. ⊙After the strike at Wuxue, Feng Yuxiang returned to Beijing, leaning on crutches, and told Duan Qirui that he was going to Shanghai to recuperate.Duan replied: "Don't pretend to be playing with me. Now I'm chasing you with a pistol, and you can run faster than anyone else. This time, I didn't ask Lu Jianzhang to give your head away. It's really cheap. I don't want to meet with Lu Jianzhang in the future. Hurry up and take the team to Xiangxi." Feng put down his crutches, walked like flying, and immediately led his troops to Changde. ⊙Yan Xishan wanted to buy a set of coking equipment for use in Taiyuan Steel Plant. For a while, many foreign companies competed for this business.In the end, Lao Yan was satisfied with the quotations from three companies, so he invited the representatives of these three companies to the villa, served delicious food and drinks, and waited quietly for the foreigners to fight themselves.In the end, because a company offered a lower price and could provide technology transfer, it won the bid.As soon as the company settled the accounts afterwards, the business has already become tasteless. ⊙Cao Kun is impatient.When he was in charge of the third town, someone informed a certain ordnance officer of malpractice for personal gain.Cao was furious, and immediately tied him up, and beat him dozens of times with military sticks.After investigation, it was found that this matter was not true, so he was promoted to a supervisor again, and comforted: "I believe in people's words, I spank your butt, I am very sorry! Is your butt swollen now? The proverb often says, 'The more you beat, the more you get better. ', look, isn't this your official promotion!" ⊙Jiaodong warlord Liu Zhennian’s first brigade commander was surnamed Zhao, and the third brigade commander was surnamed Zhang. Unfortunately, the second brigade commander’s surname was Liang but not Guan. Liu (Bei), Guan (Yu), and Zhang ( Fei), Zhao (Yun) came.But Brigadier Liang is very good at trying to figure out Liu's psychology. He often says to people: "Although my surname is not Guan, I admire Guan Gong very much." bedroom.In this way, Liu barely made up the lineup of Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao. ⊙In June 1923, Li Yuanhong went to Tianjin.He borrowed 120,000 yuan from the bank in his own name, set up a "Hospital for Members of Congress", and issued a notice: All congressmen coming from Beijing will be given 500 yuan as "travel expenses".As a result, the borrowings were quickly exhausted, and members of parliament came and went, leaving little left. ⊙In April 1925, Yang Sen attacked Lai Xinhui, but the Lai Ministry couldn't support it, and the warlords watched from the sidelines.Lai was very angry and sent a telegram to Liu Xiang and others. The text said: "Masters of Gungun, you are a great talent. If you hang me, you don't come. When the time comes, step down together." ⊙Zhang Huaizhi, the governor of Shandong Province, heard more than 180 candidate county governors from this province give a lecture, saying: "Each of you has a province under your own control, and the same land, why don't you grab other provinces and grab this province! When I was young and a soldier, I held it firmly The purpose is to become a robber if you don't get promoted. I will never be a robber in this province. One is because I can't bear it, and the other is that I made a fortune as a robber. I know the source of the money in my hometown. I can't boast to others. You are really disgusting. Governor!" ⊙Huang Shaohong, one of the three giants of the Guangxi Clan and the founder of the New Gui Clan, once said to Guangxi merchants: "The question is not that we want you to pay protection fees, the key is whether you want to do business in Guangxi safely!" ⊙Duan Qirui's new parliamentary election law stipulates that all professors of national universities who have obtained degrees abroad have the right to vote, and they do not need to be present in person, they can send someone with a diploma to vote.As a result, each diploma on the market can be sold for as much as 200 yuan, and some purchase dealers even try to make a fortune.For example, if the name on a foreign diploma is Wuting, you can apply for Wuxuan for the first time, Dingwu for the second time, Wuting for the third time, and Dinghe for the fourth time in Jiangsu-Zhejiang dialect. In the end, the net income is 800. Yuan. ⊙One day, Zhang Zuolin went out for an early morning walk, and just as he walked to a corner, he suddenly heard a shout: "Selling steamed stuffed buns!" Zhang Dashuai was startled, and couldn't help being furious: "Catch me and kill me!" Dashuai Law enforcement in person, Ping!He fired a shot into the sky, and the peddler was almost paralyzed in fright.The commander-in-chief was very proud: "You startled me, and I scared you too." ⊙Zhang Zongchang once wrote a poem "You Penglai Pavilion", which said: "What a Penglai Pavilion, his mother is really good. If the gods can come, I will sit there too. Put wine by the window and sing to the sea. Come and guess a few punches, my brother-in-law is afraid of drinking too much!" In the poem "Snowing", he wrote: "What things are flying in the sky, piled here and there, could it be that the Jade Emperor built a golden palace, and sifted lime and sifted lime. "And its "Baotu Spring" is even more amazing: "Baotu Spring, spring Baotu, three streams of water, light gurgle, gurgle gurgle light gurgle!" ⊙Han Fuju said in a speech: "Foreigners have built embassies in Dongjiaomin Lane, Beijing, but we lack China. Why don't we China build an embassy there? After all, the Chinese are too weak." ⊙In 1921, Sichuan warlord Liu Cunhou asked the Chengdu Police Department to issue a notice: "It is strictly forbidden for women to cut their hair again."The notice said: "Recently, women often cut their hair to match their eyebrows, and comb Napoleon, Washington and other hairstyles. It is really offensive and should be banned to stop the trend... If you dare to violate it, you will be punished as a woman." parents." ⊙Zhang Zongchang once imitated the "Great Wind Song" and wrote a poem: "When the cannon is opened, he will bombard his mother, and Vega will return to his hometown. Zhang Zongchang will count heroes, and he will swallow Fusang with a giant whale." There is also "Laughing Liu Bang" A poem has been handed down: "I heard that Xiang Yu was trying to pull up the mountain, and Liu Bang was so scared that he was about to flee. It wasn't my little Zhang Liang. Grandma had already returned to Pei County." ⊙Yuan Shikai failed the imperial examination to become an official in his early years, so he wanted to spend money to donate to an official. However, the money was not enough, so he asked Yuan's wife Yu's natal brother, but was scolded and ridiculed by his two uncles.This encounter made him bear a grudge for the rest of his life. ⊙When Cao Kun served as the patrol envoy to Zhilu and Henan, his official documents were all handled by his staff. As the president, there were many important official documents that had to be submitted for review and judgment. Cao Kun was very distressed.One day, an old friend laughed and asked the President how he tasted?Cao said: "The taste is not bad, but it's too annoying to read the words every day!" ⊙During the Central Plains War, the Central Army dispatched the air force to assist in the battle, and the Northwest Army was terrified.In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Feng Yuxiang gathered the troops together to give lectures.Feng asked everyone: "Are there more planes in the sky or more crows?" Everyone replied: "There are more crows." Feng asked again: "But did the crows fall on your heads when they shit?" Everyone said in unison: "No." Feng then said: "So, when the plane drops a bomb, the chances of hitting it are even less, so you don't have to be afraid." The next day, the air force attacked, and everyone didn't dodge it, resulting in heavy casualties. ⊙Yang Sen has many wives and children. In order to maintain order, he manages his family like an army. Everything is managed militarily, and the division of labor is detailed: the first wife is in charge of general affairs, the second wife is in charge of cashiers and accounting, the third wife is in charge of children's education, and the fourth wife is in charge of foreign affairs , the fifth wife is in charge of the servants... each has a full-time job, and none of them is idle, and each of them is paid a salary every month. ⊙Zhang Zuolin ordered: No one is allowed to enter or leave after midnight in the most important place of the commander-in-chief's mansion.One night when Zhang returned home late, the concierge refused to open the door on the grounds that it was past time.Zhang couldn't, so he had to go around to the back door to enter.The next day, Zhang Zuolin summoned the porter and promoted him to be the director of the detention center.The concierge said that he was illiterate and could not be an official.Zhang disagreed, and said, "That's easy, I'll find you a literate secretary." ⊙Cao Kun summoned the students to lecture and said: "You must respect the professors. These professors were selected and hired by me from various provinces in the north and south. Your heads!" ⊙Yang Sen is in charge of Sichuan, and even farmers have to collect taxes when they go to the city to pick up manure.Liu Shiliang, a master of Harmonious Union, wrote a special couplet saying: "Since ancient times, it has never been heard that there is a tax on dung, but now there is only farts without donations. Horizontal comment: Ten thousand taxes in the Republic of China (years old)." ⊙After Wu Ziyu arrived in Tianjin, he once said to Yang Jinglin: "I just use it as a military field practice, which is better than ordinary training. Zhang Zuolin's soldiers are not worthy of being called to fight with me. I just treat it like hunting." There is a rumor in the middle: Fengjun is all beasts. ⊙When Feng Guozhang was president, he always wanted to make extra money, so he cut down all the century-old trees in his hometown, Hejian, and transported them to Beijing for sale, causing the elders of his hometown to come to Beijing to sue.Feng also fished out the fish released by the Zhongnanhai royal family every year and sold them for money, which also aroused strong criticism from all walks of life. Feng finally had to pay the bill out of his own pocket. ⊙Yuan Shikai's second daughter-in-law and Yuan Kewen's first wife, Liu Meizhen, cried and made a fuss because of Yuan Kewen begging for a concubine.Yuan Shikai heard and persuaded: "A man has three wives and four concubines if he is capable. Women should not be jealous." ⊙In 1924, Yang Sen served as governor of Sichuan Province, determined to implement the New Deal, and all the contents advocated were written on wooden signs in the style of "Yang Sen said..." and nailed to telephone poles, trees on the street or walls.For example: "Yang Sen said: Women's foot binding is prohibited! Yang Sen said: You should cut your nails frequently. Yang Sen said: Playing cards will kill strong people; Have a martial spirit!" ⊙The Shaanxi warlord Chen Shufan said that to be an official under him, one must first have the spirit of a cow and a horse, the second must have the heart of a bandit, and the third must have the attitude of a prostitute. ⊙When Fan Fanshan was the governor of Shaanxi Province, a certain county reported a sand disaster, saying: "A gust of quicksand came suddenly in the county, and at the beginning it was without the foot of the city, and then it reached the waist of the city, and then crossed the shoulder of the city, and the heat will come to the top of the city , please send two battalions of troops to come to take the sand." Fan wrote with a pen and said: "Can you take Shasha? This is a new story." He also wrote "Nasha Fu", and there are four sentences: "Looking like this wild sand, it is not If you can't take it, tell me about Nasha, where can Sha hide?" ⊙Duan Qirui and his son played chess, and the son lost.Duan Qirui cursed: "Playing chess is a trivial skill, you can't even do this, it's really useless!" Another day, the father and son fought again, and this time the son won.Duan was furious, and scolded his son: "I have neither great ambition nor great talent, I can only show it in these pastimes." ⊙Wu Peifu explained to Qin Dechun the "Kanglong has regrets": "Kanglong has passed, and if you leave the law, you will definitely fall into regret. Duan Hefei (Duan Qirui) succeeded Yuan Xiangcheng (Yuan Shikai) to control the Beiyang military power, and his disciples and old officials are all over China , if the public is loyal to the country and upholds the public, the Zhiwan War would not have happened. However, Hefei later borrowed money to participate in the war, expanded the army, and eradicated dissidents. regret'." ⊙He Siyuan said to his friends: "Although Han Fuju is good at murdering and assassinating people, he is not a sinister person." Han also warned his subordinates not to exclude He Siyuan: "The only person in the provincial government who is from Shandong and is a scholar , we can’t tolerate him? Don’t make it smaller and smaller, it will definitely collapse!” Han Zhulu has always let He Siyuan do the education work for seven years, and has never placed a private person in the education field. Great progress has been made here.
