About This Novel
Guanhe Fifty States is a wonderful introduction to the great figures of the Republic of China! Remove labels and restore a real, credible, flesh-and-blood Prime Minister of the Republic of China. In the early years of the Republic of China, as the internationally recognized Chinese government after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the period of rule of the Beiyang Government was an important era for modern China to inherit the past and usher in the future. This period was marked by turmoil and chaos as the old and new orders changed, but it was also the beginning of China's ideological emancipation and entry into the international community, and it was also a golden period for the accumulation of capital for the Chinese nation. Duan Qirui, known as the "Tiger of the North", was also a trend-setting figure who dominated Chinese politics during this period. He helped Yuan Shikai train the new Beiyang Army, and then used it to dominate the political arena for fifteen years, single-handedly leading the domestic and foreign affairs of the Beiyang government after Yuan Shikai's death. In the eyes of the revolutionaries, he is a reactionary warlord, but he has made contributions to the country's "three republics"; although he was born in the army, he respects his teachers and ethics; he fights among warlords of various factions to fight for power and profit, but he is honest and honest in government and has a charming personality, known as the "six bad prime ministers"; he attaches great importance to national integrity, and even when he is lonely in the field, he still refuses to be bribed by the Japanese with power. This book vividly describes Duan Qirui's legendary ups and downs in military and political career, faithfully restores the turbulent and paradoxical historical events in the early years of the Republic of China, and also provides a wonderful commentary on the competition and integration of various political forces in the early years of the Republic of China. This is an in-depth interpretation of Duan Qirui, an elite figure in the military and political circles who was influenced by old morality. Under the new order adjustment and the great changes of the times, his human nature, his actions and choices, his vision and limitations were deeply interpreted.
