It was not just Qi Xieyuan, Lu Yongxiang and others who were shocked by the changes in Jiangdong.
Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, who were far away in Beijing, were even more overjoyed.
Jiangdong changed hands, the situation in the southeastern war quickly reversed, victory was in hand, and everyone was in a better mood.
In the bath room of the Xinhua Palace of the Presidential Palace, Cao Kun was lying on the couch wrapped in a bath towel.
Li Yanqing gently massaged his shoulders and asked: "Third Master, are you feeling comfortable?"
President Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "Shutan, Shutan, a little further to the left, hey, this is it."
Li Yanqing used his precise strength to serve Cao Kun like a fairy.
He took the opportunity to say: "Third Master, I know that this man is quite capable.
I think if he becomes the governor of Jiangdong Province, he will be able to defeat Lu Yongxiang."
Come on."
Cao Kun closed his eyes: "You say."
Li Yanqing mentioned an unfamiliar name and praised him profusely: "This is a graduate of the Japanese Army Sergeant School.
When it comes to fighting, he is a first-rate general."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Kun stood up suddenly and his face changed: "Who are you?
Can you recommend the governor of a province?
This is ridiculous and nonsense."
Li Yanqing turned pale and was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Cao Kun ignored him and went on his own.
The President finished changing and came to the official room.
Wu Peifu was already sitting here waiting for him.
"President, Jiangdong cannot be left without a master for a day.
Who do you think is qualified?"
Wu Peifu asked.
Cao Kun smiled: "Someone has already recommended a candidate for Jiangdong Governor."
Wu Peifu's face changed slightly: "Who is it?"
Cao Kun said: "No matter who recommends me, I will reject it.
When Duan Qirui handed over Hunan, Ziyu, which you worked so hard to conquer, to Zhang Jingyao, what happened to me, Cao Kun?
I cannot be that nepotistic and weak official."
Wu Peifu said: "The third master wants Chen Zikun to be the warlord."
Cao Kun said: "Chen Zikun is a bit young, but extraordinary times require extraordinary responses.
Zhang Yuting's 150,000 troops are about to attack.
If the southeast is unstable, our good days as a direct line will be over.
I We plan to promote him to Army Lieutenant General, appoint him to supervise the aftermath of military affairs in Jiangdong Province, and then grant him the rank of Military General.
What do you think, Ziyu?"
Wu Peifu said calmly: "It's too heavy."
Cao Kun patted the back of Wu Peifu's hand: "It's not heavy, not heavy at all.
Ziyu, we have a direct successor.
When Xiao Chen defeats Zhejiang and Shanghai, send him north to deal with Zhang Yuting, so that Guandong Beard can see the power of Jiangbei Beard.
I I heard that Chen Zikun started from scratch, and his subordinates are all bandits recruited for peace.
It is really not simple or easy."
A smile appeared on Wu Peifu's face: "Chen Zikun is very good at using special weapons.
It would be a good move to use him to defeat Zhang Zuolin."
Cao Kun said: "It must not be delayed.
We cannot let the meritorious ministers feel cold.
We must do this quickly, and we must electrify the whole country."

Wu Peifu said: "Jiangdong has been initially decided, but Sun Kaiqin's main force is still there.
Chen Zikun's troops are weak and he is surrounded by enemies from both sides.
I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on.
We just appointed him to supervise Jiangdong and he was kicked out.
By then, it will make people laugh."
Cao Kun said with a smile: "It's easy to handle.
This president will give him an order to supplement the military expenditure of 200,000 yuan, 5,000 guns, and 1 million rounds of ammunition."
Wu Peifu then smiled and said, "I would like to thank Third Master on behalf of this boy."
On September 10, the Beijing government issued a telegram to remove Sun Kaiqin, the former Jiangdong Governor, and appointed Chen Zikun, the former Jiangbei Protector, as the Military Supervisor of Jiangdong Province, a Lieutenant General of the Jin Army, and a valiant general.
When the news reached the Beijing News, Ruan Mingchuan was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that my old friend has become the supervisor.
This matter needs to be reported, big report."
The editor asked: "How much length?"
Ruan Mingchuan said: "Full page" The editor said: "I'm afraid the editor-in-chief can't explain it."
Ruan Mingchuan said: "Listen to me, that's right."
The Beijing News is a newspaper with a large circulation in Beijing.
A full page was dedicated to publishing a photo of Chen Zikun in military uniform.
The effect was quite good.
In the newspaper, Chen Zikun was wearing a major general's uniform.
He was young and handsome, with a tree facing the wind.
The newspaper was out of stock for a while.
Instead of reprinting the newspaper, old men and women kept the newspapers and used them as door gods to post during the Chinese New Year, and young ladies kept them on their bedsides as movie stars.
A small whirlwind blew up in the capital.
Of course, this is a story later.
In the Bank of Communications Building, Vice President Yao Qizhen was sitting behind his desk, smoking a pipe and enjoying himself leisurely.
After the servant brought today's newspaper, he bowed and left.
President Yao picked up the newspaper and glanced at it.
His eyes were suddenly attracted by such a big Isn’t it my son-in-law who has a whole page of photos?
Look at the annotation below: Chen Zikun, the newly appointed Military Affairs Supervisor of Jiangdong Province, is the second youngest Army Lieutenant General in the country.
Yao Qizhen's pupils shrank a bit.
With his son-in-law's ability, he was promoted from Army Guard to Military Governor in just one year, and was also promoted to the first rank.
At the age of twenty-five or six, he became an army lieutenant general and a brave general. , the only one comparable is Zhang Xueliang who served in the army, but Zhang Xiaoliu relied on having a good father.
What does Chen Zikun have?
Six years ago he was a stinky coolie pulling foreign carts in Beijing.
Today he is a feudal official and a provincial governor.
I picked up the phone and tried to call my home.
My wife answered the phone: "Hello, where are you?"
Yao Qizhen said: "It's me.
Your daughter has such good eyesight."
His voice was slightly trembling.
Mrs.
Yao was puzzled: "What?
What trouble did Leilei get into again?"
"He didn't cause trouble.
He is our son-in-law.
He was appointed by the President as the Military Superintendent of Jiangdong Province.

He is the former Army Lieutenant General and General Xiaowu."
There was suddenly no sound on the other side of the phone, and then I could vaguely hear voices coming downstairs and distant calls: "Leilei, great news, Chen Zikun has become the warlord."
Half a minute later, Yao Yilei panted and picked up the phone: "Daddy, what's going on?"
Yao Qizhen recounted the report in the newspaper again and said: "Go buy today's Beijing News and read it."
Yao Yilei put down the phone and ran out, with Mrs.
Yao chasing after her: "Leilei, please slow down, be careful of the little supervisor in your belly."
In the end, Mrs.
Yao sent her servants to the streets and bought all the newspapers from the newsboys on the nearby streets.
Yao Yilei read the newspapers as much as she liked, and suddenly thought of something and said: "Come here, take some newspapers to my house." " After thinking for a while, he said: "Forget it, I'll go by myself and make Jian Bing happy."
The two of them returned to Beijing to escape the war.
Yao Yilei lived with her parents for easy care, while Jian Bing lived alone in a house in Dongwenchang Hutong.
They were bored when Yao Yilei came excitedly and showed the newspaper: "Look, Chen Zikun becomes the military governor."
"Ah, we are the wives of the warlord."
Jian Bing said happily.
The two women were smiling and happy.
In the residence of the Director of Revenue and Expenditure of the Presidential Palace, Li Yanqing had a newspaper spread out in front of him and was in a very unhappy mood.
Yesterday, someone spent two hundred thousand dollars to ask him to give advice in front of the President and recommend him to be Jiangdong Supervisor.
However, not only was he sternly rejected by the Third Master, but also several Then he himself was scolded a lot.
Li Yanqing vented his anger on the person in the newspaper.
He pointed at Chen Zikun's picture and said: "How virtuous and capable are you?
The president values you so much.
I just don't believe it.
You can go down as the supervisor?"
A servant came to report: "An official document sent from the Presidential Palace."
Li Yanqing took it and saw that it was Cao Kun's approval document for the allocation of military pay, firearms and ammunition to Jiangdong Province.
He lazily threw the approval document into the drawer and said to himself: "If you want to get money from me, just wait. " On the south bank of the Huaijiang River, it is raining heavily, and there is a white mist between the sky and the earth.
This rain has been falling for a week, and it has abruptly blocked the progress of the provincial army's northward advance.
The heavy rain has made it impossible for ferries to cross the river, and artillery cannot fire.
Tens of thousands of troops Trapped on the muddy river bank, unable to move forward or retreat.
News had already arrived in the provincial capital that Chen Zikun had led troops in a sneak attack and had captured Governor Sun alive.
Duan Haixiang ordered a tight seal on the news for fear of disturbing the morale of the army.
While he sent people back to the provincial capital to inquire about the situation, he continued to send troops to forcibly cross the Huaijiang River for reinforcements.
Xia Jingqi’s Eleventh Regiment.
The spies sent were like mud cows drowning in the sea and never came back.
Material supplies to the provincial capital were interrupted.
The food and drink of the 60,000-strong army, the chewing of grain by thousands of livestock, and the ammunition for the thirty-six cannons and tens of thousands of guns all depended on the rear.
Replenish, if supplies are cut off, the army will be like water without a source, and it will be difficult to maintain.
Now sitting in Duan Haixiang's tent was Ma Chun, the commander of the garrison who had escaped from the provincial capital.
He escaped to the army after a narrow escape and told Duan Haixiang in tears how Chen Zikun was rampant and wanton in the Governor's Office.
"Commander Duan, quickly raise your troops and fight back to eradicate Chen Zikun and avenge your brothers."
Ma Chun said eagerly.
Duan Haixiang said: "Commander Ma, do you know how many soldiers and horses Chen brought to the provincial capital?"
Ma Chun said: "According to what he said, there are only 500 troops, so we must take action as soon as possible.
It will be too late by the time he recovers."
Duan Haixiang pondered for a moment and said: "I will consider it.

You go down and rest first."
Ma Chun was unwilling to give up: "Commander Duan, you are the sworn brother of the warlord.
You cannot ignore death."
Duan Haixiang's face darkened: "Come here, send Brigadier Ma down to rest."
Ma Chun was kidnapped.
Duan Haixiang convened a meeting with his brigade commanders and told them about the fall of the provincial capital.
Everyone was frightened and talked about it.
Some suggested sending troops to rescue the provincial capital immediately.
Some said they should continue to go north to surround Wei and rescue Zhao.
Some people say that we might as well support Commander Duan as the military governor.
Duan Haixiang's heart also became lively.
Although he was Sun Kaiqin's sworn brother, he had to consider himself when things came to pass.
The era of Governor Sun had passed.
Now he had a 60,000-strong army in his hands.
He could advance, retreat or defend.
In this troubled world Times, why not go all out and give it a try?
"Pass my order, set up camp and return to the provincial capital."
Duan Haixiang finally made up his mind.
Coincidentally, as soon as he gave the order, the continuous rain outside stopped.
In an instant, the sun shone in the sky and the sky cleared up.
All the generals said that this was a good omen, and Duan Haixiang believed it and was very proud.
Suddenly a brigade commander asked: "What about the 11th Regiment on the north bank?"
Duan Haixiang said calmly: "Leave them to contain the main force in Jiangbei
