    Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng reached a tentative consensus on the appointment of Wang Geng, that is, this West Point Wang Geng is talented, courageous, and understands the ways of the world. Seeing Wang Geng take the initiative to be their confidant, they felt relieved.  few.

    Duan Qirui thought for a moment, then rang the bell and called Duan Honggang, and said, "Please make arrangements and ask Duan Tiezhu to select two skilled and trustworthy guards from the guard, plus himself, to follow Wang Geng from now on."  Efficacy!¡±

    "Hey, Hong Gang dropped by the concierge and sent a message to Xia San, who is replacing me, asking him to select two skilled and trustworthy guards in my bodyguard. With him, the three of them will join the war and prepare to supervise the service from now on. I  They will still be paid over there.¡±

    Duan Honggang smiled and agreed, and Xu Shuzheng turned to Wang Geng and said,

    "The Prime Minister and I have not done anything wrong to you, right? Tiezhu is the deputy captain of the Prime Minister's Guard, and Xia San is my nephew. The people assigned to you are all trusted people. In the blink of an eye, you, Wang Geng, have a whole class of Ma Bianqin  I'm waiting for you. When I first joined Quangong, there wasn't even an orderly sent to me. I had to do my own laundry in the middle of winter!"

    "Hey, thank you very much. Now we have the atmosphere of a family. Prime Minister, Brother Zheng, don't worry, I, Wang Geng, will definitely treat them as family members." Wang Geng smiled and thanked them.

    "Zheng again, Wang Geng told you about his three strategies of upper, middle and lower. What do you think of this matter?" Duan Qirui returned to the topic.

    "Mr. Quan, if you want to rely on me, just take the best option. I told you earlier, Li Yuanhong is smelly and tough. This guy's ambition and ability are completely inconsistent. It's better to just cause an accident and make him disappear!"  "Xu Shuzheng closed the folding fan in his hand with a snap, with a bit of expectation in his tone!

    "The assassination of Song Jiaoren taught us too little about Beiyang's scapegoat? You two, listen to me. As long as I am in office for one day, you are not allowed to think about this! I, Duan Qirui, and the Anhui Clique have not yet  It¡¯s reduced to the point where it relies on plotting against political opponents to run China!¡±

    Duan Qirui shouted coldly, obviously trying to frighten the daring pair of subordinates in front of him.

    "Okay, Duke Quang, let's take the middle strategy. I have thought of Wang Geng's middle strategy before. If done properly, it is a pretty good strategy! But this is a risky move" Xu Shuzheng grinned.  Grinning, focus on the middle strategy mentioned by Wang Geng, that is, the bitter meat strategy and the countermeasure.

    In fact, Xu Shuzheng had considered this plan in private earlier, but based on his understanding of Duan Qirui, he was afraid that Mr. Zhiquan would never take this risky move. If this thing was not done well, it would definitely be possible to steal the chicken without losing anything.  rice, but went to make wedding clothes for others.

    "Prime Minister, Brother Zheng, I have a suggestion. How about letting Chen Jintao, the Chief of Finance, be the one who doesn't know the chance of success in this painful scheme?" Wang Geng said with a smile.

    "Huh? How do you say this?" Duan Qirui asked with a frown.

    Xu Shuzheng's heart was moved, but he kept his expression. He wondered where Wang Geng had heard the news. Could it be that he had foresight?

    "There are many rumors in the market that officials of the Ministry of Finance accepted bribes and corruption in the process of approving businessmen to open factories. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, it cannot be groundless? Is there an opportunity that can be exploited to make this painful scheme work?  Countermeasures?"

    Wang Geng said while looking at the expressions of Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng.

    "Chen Jintao, the chief financial officer, can only be used as a Chiang Kai-shek. If he is asked to be Huang Gai, I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage!" Xu Shuzheng said coldly.

    "Also, although Lan Sheng is a little greedy, he is still one of our own, so you can't do this!" Duan Qirui waved his hand, obviously not wanting Wang Geng to see the internal discord within the Anhui clique.

    "Prime Minister, instead of being exposed by the media and then questioned by Congress, it is better to take precautions and deal with it first!" Wang Geng continued.

    "Youzheng, how is your investigation of the Ministry of Finance matter? Don't you think your butt is also clean? During the meeting in the morning, Lan Sheng and you looked at each other strangely. Were there any private transactions?" Duan  Qi Rui turned to Xu Shuzheng and asked

    In fact, regarding the corruption of the Ministry of Finance, the Anhui clique's earliest target was Yin Ruli, the Kuomintang's deputy finance minister. Somehow, it was later discovered that Chen Jintao, the head of the Anhui clique, who had defected to the Anhui clique, seemed to have a dirty butt.  He was put aside. When Wang Geng said this today, Duan Qirui had no choice but to ask what happened!

    In his heart, Xu Shuzheng only scolded Chen Jintao for being cunning and accepting bribes from Zhang Xinghan, a businessman who applied to open a copper smelting plant. Xu Shuzheng found out that he was closely related to both the chief Chen Jintao and the deputy chief Yin Ruli. It was Chen Jintao who took the bigger share.  !

    However, his new concubine, Ping Fangchun, was greedy and accepted a huge gift of 50,000 yuan from Chen Jintao. When the wind blew on his pillow, he saw that Chen Jintao had defected to the Anhui clique.  ?It would be too bad not to cover it up for him.

    Of course Xu Shuzheng would not be stupid enough to tell Lao Duan directly that I accepted his gift, so I had to help Chen Jintao speak. He knew clearly that Lao Duan had very strict requirements on himself and his family in terms of integrity, but he treated his subordinates and confidants with open eyes.  With one eye closed, the guy pondered for a moment and said,

    "There is a reason for everything, and there is no real evidence. However, the Presidential Palace seems to have caught wind of it. It is an opportunity to resort to bitter tactics and counterintuitive tactics. However, Wang Geng's plan is to find someone to go to the Presidential Palace to slander the Prime Minister and accept bribes. The risk is extremely high.  , this matter still needs to be decided by the Prime Minister!¡±

    Xu Shuzheng really didn¡¯t dare think that he planned to use the Prime Minister as a chess piece to attract the opponent¡¯s firepower like Wang Geng, but if he couldn¡¯t bear the child, he would not be a wolf, so he was in a dilemma, so he asked Duan Qirui to make his own decision!

    According to Xu Shuzheng's plan for Duan Qirui earlier, it was to invite the governor's army to Beijing to force the palace and force Congress and the president to order the war. However, this was just a power strategy. It would be best if Li Yuanhong could be removed from the position of president once and for all.  good.

    Using the position of president to remove Feng Guozhang from the position of governor of Jiangsu not only weakened Feng Guozhang's strength, but also used the empty position of president to appease the immediate generals. Wang Geng's idea had to make Xu Shuzheng look at him with admiration. Therefore,  Although there are risks in the middle strategy of bitter meat strategy and counter-intentional strategy, Xu Shuzheng still hopes that Duan Qirui will choose the middle strategy deep in his heart.

    "Prime Minister, if the firewall is done well, even if the bitter plot and counterintuitive tactics fail, it will not actually harm the Prime Minister's reputation. At that time, it will be nothing more than sacrificing one or two scapegoats. I believe there must be many comrades in the group who are willing to go through fire and water for the Prime Minister.  As long as the Prime Minister is in office, even if they are temporarily aggrieved, they will always have a chance to make a comeback.¡±

    Seeing Duan Qirui's hesitation, Wang Geng couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.

    "Youzheng, although you don't say it, I know that in your heart, like Wang Geng, you hope that I will take this middle strategy?" Duan Qirui still turned his eyes to Xu Shuzheng.

    "Mr. Quang, Wang Geng is right. It's just that the governor's army sent electricity to subdue Li Yuanhong this time. He will be naughty next time. It's better to remove him once and for all. This strategy is to kill three birds with one stone, and there is a lot to be done. If Mr. Quanhong  Promise, I, Xu Shuzheng, dare to issue a military order. If it doesn't succeed, just use me as a scapegoat! The Prime Minister will just do everything without knowing anything!"

    Xu Shuzheng thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind to take the initiative to ask for help.

    "Since you have this awareness, how can I cold-blooded you two! I will leave this matter to you with full authority. The President of the United States will give a speech in Congress tonight. The United States may declare war within a week. I hope China will declare war within twenty days.  We can also pass a resolution to declare war on Germany! That¡¯s it!¡±

    ¡°Obviously the three people here understand that Wang Geng didn¡¯t know anyone well when he first came, and only Xu Shuzheng from the Anhui Clan is suitable to take on this responsibility. Besides, conspiracy and conspiracy are the strengths of Xu Shuzheng, a little-fan strategist!

    "Quan Gong, since Wang Geng has been appointed to supervise the preparations for the war, what should I tell Jin Yunpeng when he comes back from Japan to inspect the military? We have already agreed that when he comes back from Japan to inspect the military, he will help me prepare for the preparations for the war!" Xu Shuzheng was cold-blooded.  Mentioned this.

    Among the four kings under Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng and Jin Yunpeng are the top two. Jin Yunpeng is capable, but he is not determined. When Lao Yuan became emperor, he was one of the governors who jointly supported the Shandong governor.

    In April last year, Jin Yunpeng saw that something was wrong, and they jointly called on Yuan to abolish the imperial system. Although they had a "false reputation of opposing the imperial system," they became a typical example of the leader and the weakest in the Anhui clique, and fell out of favor.  It has been idle till now.

    Fortunately, Duan Qirui was employing someone. Seeing that this guy had been hugging his legs tightly for the past six months, Xu Shuzheng interceded with him again, so he sent Jin Yunpeng to Japan to inspect the military, and planned to come back to help Xu Shuzheng train and join the war army.

    ¡°Obviously, as one of the four great kings of the Anhui clan, Jin Yunpeng was not appropriate to ask him to come back and be Wang Geng¡¯s assistant, so Xu Shuzheng raised the issue.

    "Then let him study in Japan for a while longer. If that doesn't work, he will be transferred to the minister in Japan to handle negotiations with Japan!" Duan Qirui made the final decision.
