The update amount of the electronic Internet cafe in the community is out of stock. I owe a chapter today and will be filled tomorrow.

Although he knew that neither side of the Northeast was ready for the time being and could not fight, necessary worries were inevitable. Since the 10th Division was launched, he specially installed several telegraph machines in the temporary presidential palace newly established in Duan County Prince's Mansion, specifically used to receive the latest news from the 10th Division of the Northeast.

In the Presidential Office, Interim President Li Han was working. After taking on important responsibilities, life obviously got faster and things became busier. The newly established temporary transitional government, just like the Beiyang government established by Yuan Shikai, had countless problems. The issue of defeat reparations left over from the Qing Dynasty needs to be discussed with foreigners, Jiang Customs and ** issues need to be discussed with the British, Northeast and Outer Mongolia issues need to be discussed with Japan and Russia, and the Southwest issues need to be worn with Britain and France. These are just things that need him, the temporary president, to be troubled by foreigners.

There are also many domestic problems, such as several major wars after the Republic of China, and several provinces in the north and the Yangtze River basin experienced wars, and the losses were relatively serious, especially in several provinces such as Henan, Anhui, and Shanxi. It may be a little troublesome to recover in a short period of time. Henan Province is a big problem. Before coming to Beijing, he sent several teams to western Henan, southern Henan and other places to inspect. Conservatively estimates that the number of refugees in Henan Province will be between 2 million and 4 million due to three years of natural disasters and wars. Because many counties and towns were burned in the war, the disaster relief was extremely difficult to frown. Conservatively estimates that the harvest in Henan this year will be only 60% to 70% before the famine in 1907. In the past seven years, the harvest in Henan Province has not increased but has sharply decreased. It can be seen that this natural disaster that has continued from the late Qing Dynasty to the present

How much trouble is Henan Province causing? There is still some time before summer harvest. According to the data sent by the inspection team, before summer harvest, he had to mobilize at least 100,000 tons of grain to Henan Province to cope with another wave of refugees that may be caused by the lack of summer harvest. A slight inattention may cause rebellion. It is also because of this that on the afternoon of the second day after arriving in Beijing, he issued the first order of the Interim Presidential Palace, announcing that 20,000 tons of miscellaneous grains will be urgently allocated from Hubei and Sichuan, a province with large output, to help Henan, and announced that the allocation of emergency rural and commercial assistance funds will be made, and the Ministry of Finance of the ten autonomous governments of the western provinces, which have not yet been dissolved, will temporarily issue 2 million yuan, and promised to allocate no less than 4 million yuan to restore Henan's economy by the end of the year, and at the same time promised to formulate a more active economic recovery bill.

Henan was just one of the problems that made him headache. There were many other chaotic situations in the country that made him unable to sleep at night. For example, the transitional government he controlled now was actually no different from the Beiyang government of Yuan Shikai before the National Protection War. Except for the larger area he controlled now and the industrial foundation was slightly improved, his ruling foundation and central authority were slightly larger than that of the Yuan period, and basically the same as that time.

The forces between the Beiyang Group and him changed from the first force in China to the second. The three provinces around Beijing and Tianjin, Zhili, Jiangsu, and Northeast China were directly or indirectly under the control and influence of the Beiyang Group. At least there is no major general of the Beiyang Group or two of the three eastern provinces personally conferred surrendering to him. In the southwest, Tang Jiyao had consolidated his position in Yunnan and officially controlled the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. After Li Han took over the central government, he became the strongest vassal in the southwest. Guangdong and Guangxi are also the source of trouble. The Kuomintang in Fujian Province has a deep shadow of Japanese support behind the comeback, which also makes him feel very uneasy. If these strong vassals are not eliminated, he will not feel at ease for a moment.

If Yuan Dynasty always acted as the leader of the alliance to hold high the banner of "local confrontation with the central government", then this position has now made fundamental changes as he took over the central government. Now he will change his position and raise the banner of "strong central government and weak local government" until all local opposition forces are eliminated and the warlords' melee are erased.

There are many problems at home and abroad that require Li Han, the interim president, to get a headache, but the main problem facing him is not these. The main problem he is facing now is to set up a transitional cabinet as soon as possible so that the transitional government he led can successfully take over the national regime.

The candidates of senior cabinet leaders are still quarreling between the north and the south. Li Han nodded and promised several positions in the north. Now the Beiyang Group is fighting for these positions. In addition to the Beiyang chiefs, cabinet prime ministers, and vice presidents, the candidates cannot be changed early in the morning, and the remaining seats of some subordinates in the north are still quarreling. Although the Provisional Government has notified various agencies to come to resume office work, since all departments are now old bureaucrats or remaining Beiyang troops, Li Han is very worried. First, the differences in political ideas and ruling environment between old Beiyang officials and him, this strangeness is difficult to eliminate for a while. Second, Duan Qirui and other Beiyang have a great influence on these middle and lower-level officials. Li Han is worried that once reused it, some of his policies will inevitably be leaked or his will will be affected by the Beiyang Group.

I had to bring all the teams in Wuchang, including the special and huge staff and intelligence agencies. In just a few days, someone had already attacked Li Han privately to "reserve his personalities". Of course, no matter how fierce the domestic media called the domestic media, all the forces were still closed and watched coldly. Once the emperor was once a minister, there was nothing strange about it.

After all, the old people can trust, and the old subordinates who have been with him for many years are still those who have been with him. Zhang Meisheng's body has collapsed. The shot of the previous year almost killed him, and his body was not allowed to travel for a long distance. So taking this opportunity, Li Han transferred Tang Hualong to Beijing to be the chief minister of the Ministry of the Interior, and the other departments are also heading north one after another.

The result of the War to Protect the Country gave Li Hanxin the control of the six provinces and regions, namely Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, Chahar and Rehe. In addition to making proper arrangements as soon as possible, he also needed to formulate some powerful measures to announce his political determination to the whole country, thinking that Rao Hanxiang, who was running north and south to prepare for the "Parliamentary Election", was full of confidence.

On the 29th, news came from Wuchang that the North-South Agreement was officially signed, and the Cabinet seats were finally won by various companies. In other words, Xu Shichang and others will take a bus north in the near future. The transitional cabinet, which has been delayed for a few days, is finally time to establish.

Considering the impact of the formal establishment of the transitional cabinet, Li Han felt it was necessary to communicate with his subordinates in advance and explain some issues.

"Henan is facing the task of suppressing bandits. The 12th Division of the later General Wang Boling's 12th Division was very heavy in Henan. We have transferred most of the troops from Henan. Now the defense of the troops in Henan Province has suddenly become empty, resulting in many remote counties and towns and bandits becoming active again. The bandits in Henan are even more troublesome than we imagined. The first is that the scope is wide. It is estimated that the total strength of hundreds of bandits is at least 40,000 to 70,000; the second is that they are scattered. With so many troops, except for a small number of habitual bandits.

The rest were gathered together, and the rest were scattered throughout most of Henan Province, which could not be wiped out in a short while; the third is that the composition was complex. Among these bandits, there were the Beiyang soldiers who were defeated, including Henan bandits, some local green forest people, and even the Kuomintang's defeated army. Of course, more of them were ordinary people who were forced by the Beiyang government and the former General Tang Dynasty, which was very troublesome to deal with..." The telegram in Li Han's hand was collected by the Bureau of Investigation in Henan.

"The situation in Henan is mainly caused by the indulgence of Cao Kun and Wang Tianzong, otherwise where would there be so many bandits?" Jiang Fangzhen and General Staff were the first batch of former western officials to go north after Li Han stabilized Beijing. "According to the agreement, we need to divide the western part of Zhili, northeastern Henan, and parts of Shandong, east and west of Shandong for temporary rest and rest. I think the main force of the First Army still has three complete divisions. Leaving them idle around Beijing and Tianjin is a major hidden danger to the safety of the capital. Why not transfer them to Henan to suppress bandits?"

"no?"

Li Han directly rejected, "Not to mention whether Duan Qirui and others will agree. Even if it is unified, transferring the First Army to Henan is equivalent to paying money to provide equipment for him to train troops. Moreover, after a year of chaos in Henan, our ruling foundation is very weak. If you don't pay attention, you may be taken advantage of by the First Army and gain more influence in Henan!"

He looked at Jiang Fangzhen and pointed out: "It is crucial to destroy the economic foundation of the remaining military power of the Beiyang Group as much as possible. The central government would rather pay to support him than give up a province to hand over the finances to him!"

"It's involved in politics again..." Although Jiang Fangzhen has the reputation of being a master of tactics, he may not be more intelligent than many ordinary politicians in politics. However, suddenly he remembered Li Han's previous military training, and he felt a little moved and said, "The seventeenth, eighteen, nineteenth, and twentyth divisions are all newly organized. Although many captured and transformed Northern Army veterans have been incorporated, their combat effectiveness is very problematic. It just so happens that the central government will continue to mobilize troops to the north. I think it's better to transfer these four divisions to Henan to suppress bandits first. First, the 12th division can be liberated, second, the combat effectiveness of these four divisions can be quickly improved, and third, the prestige of the central government can also be increased. Just using this method, it may take at least three or five months to completely eradicate the bandit chaos in Henan, and it will take more time to delay!"

"This..." Li Han pondered for a while, "It's been a bit long, and it's my choice to train the bandit army in Henan, but the Central Plains in Henan cannot be in chaos for a long time, otherwise the people will lose confidence in the central government. So, I just received a batch of new aircraft in Hubei that have started test flights, and a new aviation squadron can be formed soon. So, I will order people to transfer the new aviation squadron to Henan, dispatch the planes to cooperate in the suppression of bandits, and be sure to wipe out the Henan bandit army before and after the summer harvest. I will then draft an order to let Henan post notices everywhere. Anyone who has not surrendered to the government for relief within seven days will be treated as a habitual bandit, and the army will be allowed to dispatch planes and use artillery to wipe out all the bandits!"

When the cessation continues, it will suffer. Since the central government issued an order to relieve Henan, some forces in Henan Province who were forced to rebel by famine and government forces have begun to take the initiative to accept government relief as victims. To put it bluntly, the hundreds of scattered bandits in Henan Province now do not trust the government and doubt the government and wait and seers, most of them hope that the central government can surrender, or that some transformers who simply gain benefits from the plunder can give up on these people to train.

Li Han's fingers gently tapped on the table, and Li Han's brows frowned, "The powerful people in Henan Province have some relationship with Yuan Shikai. According to the information, these people now have a lot of land and local privileges in Henan Province. They go back to generate electricity for Henan, order the government to thoroughly investigate the foundation of these people, and leave all unclean evidence. In a while, the government will order the talent in Henan Province and the rent and tax cuts for half. If they don't cooperate, I will take the opportunity to eliminate some of them. Only by taking the opportunity to eliminate some of them can Henan truly stabilize..."

"The President must not act too rush. It is better to temporarily slow down the attack on the powerful. Suppress the bandits first, so as not to take the opportunity to smear the President!" Tang Hualong obviously disagreed with his meaning and tactfully advised him to be careful. After all, most of the local powerful people in Henan are relatives of the Yuan clan. President Yuan died, and the attack on his clan at this time will inevitably make the Beiyang Group uneasy.

Li Han thought about it and felt that he was a little aggressive. Now the forces of the Beiyang Group should focus on winning and divisiveness, and it was not until the time to beat him. He pondered for a moment and nodded, "Let's do this, first, in the name of the government, exempt the agricultural tax in Henan Province from the next three years. I will send someone to inform the tax cuts on the powerful side. They should cooperate best. If they don't cooperate, it's not too late to clean up at that time!"
