Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Different from the rulers of later generations who used to play a big game of chess to cover up their incompetence, Wang Zhenyu is now playing a big game of chess in a serious manner, although he is a character with a bad chess level and no knowledge of Go at all.

But this does not prevent Wang Zhenyu from playing a good game on the big chessboard in China. The first good move is in Tibet.In the sixth year of the Republic of China, on September 1917, 9, the whole country turned their attention to Xuzhou.In Lhasa, something that will forever be recorded in history is happening.

Liu Xiang, a miscellaneous military general born in a landlord's family, ushered in the most glorious moment in his life on this day.Many years later, Liu Xiang, who had retired from the military and became a businessman, still did not forget to brag after dinner: "The most proud moment in my life was when I led our Sichuan army into Lhasa. The Dalai Lama not only dared not fart, but also had to Properly offer khata to Lao Tzu..."

On this day, the "rebel army" led by Commander Liu Xiang entered Lhasa, but unlike Chang, there was no exchange of fire between the two sides.After obtaining Liu Xiang's three no promises of "no war, no looting, and no restructuring", the great nobles in Tibet ignored the meaning of the Buddha, and directly ordered the feared Tibetan warriors under their command who had been beaten by the Sichuan army We withdrew our troops from Lhasa.

According to Wang Zhenyu's wishes, Liu Xiang ordered all the sons of noble families who were under the age of [-] to go to Wuhan Army University to study, and they were not allowed to return to Tibet until they graduated.This is probably what proton means.This regulation has also been established as a system and has been strictly enforced.

And Suo Guanying also returned generous rewards. Although the Kalon of Kashag did not have his turn, a governor of Qamdo was enough to make him happy for a long time.

Negotiations with the Thirteenth Emperor are naturally not our General Liu's business. His army faced the problem of reorganization after conquering Tibet. , Tibetans also have to undertake the task of military service, and they are mixed with the Han army. The number is about 1, and the officers of the Tibetan Frontier Army are also distributed according to this ratio.

The negotiations with the thirteenth emperor were in charge of Chen Shao, the special commissioner on the Tibet issue sent by Wang Zhenyu, and Chen Shao usually did not take action, but when he did, he was extraordinary.

"From now on, Tibet is an inalienable territory of the Republic of China. Tibetans are also regarded as a part of the Chinese nation, and both Sinicization and Tibetanization are protected by the laws of the Republic of China. All the privileges of Tibetan Buddhism are recognized, as well as Tibetans, Panchen Lamas, etc. The current political status of the living Buddha. The Kaxag local government in Tibet will be revoked, and the entire Tibet region will be set up in Inner Tibet (with Lhasa as the capital), Outer Tibet (with Qamdo as the capital), Back Tibet (with Shigatse as the capital), and Front Tibet (with Malkang as the capital). as the capital), and Qinghai-Tibet (with Xining as the capital), these five provinces are governed. Other issues will continue to be negotiated and resolved in the future.”

This actually divides the power of Tibet into five. Although the Communist Party is still the nominal ruler of Tibet, its actual appeal has been greatly reduced.Moreover, once Chen Shao's plan was put forward, it immediately won the support and approval of living Buddhas represented by Panchen Lama and Rezhen.Because according to this division, although the government’s power has been weakened, these local living Buddhas and the noble forces behind them have gained benefits. At least they no longer need to be controlled by Lhasa with the power of life and death, and they feel free.

Chen Shao's strategy of dividing the five Tibetans proved to be very effective afterwards, and it also made Tibetan Buddhism play a more active role in the subsequent Mongolian issue.Even in the subsequent political struggle, Chen Shao was arrested and imprisoned, and this policy was continued until after the establishment of the Chinese Federation.

After the founding of the Federation of China, the federal government and the Federal Parliament made a series of adjustments to the ethnic policies of Tibet, Mongolia, and Xinjiang, among which the most thorough implementation was the separation of church and state and the abolition of serfdom.However, unlike the abolition of serfdom by force in later generations, on the issue of serfdom in Tibet, the federal government adopted the Russian approach, abolished it by means of redemption, and implemented it through legislation strictly prohibiting selling people into slavery. Relatively speaking, the sequelae are more moderate Also less.As for Tibetan Buddhism, the federal government announced that, except for Muslims and cults with similar claims, the rest of the religious beliefs will be free, and there will be no restrictions on the management of monks and others, and it will no longer grant political and economic privileges.In the end, Shaolin Temple became the largest temple in the world, which is far away. . .

Liu Xiang is undoubtedly lucky, he succeeded.And Yang Sen, who holds [-] troops in Sichuan, is now almost like an ant on a hot pot. His army has been unable to take Hanzhong for a long time, which has caused serious dissatisfaction and high concern in Wuhan.Feeding the mosquitoes in the valley for more than three months is not a big deal. What really worries Yang Sen is whether his "rebel army" will be wiped out by the big man in Wuhan as a rebel army if there is no progress. up.Fortunately, although the gang of bastards under his command didn't fight very well, the logistics supplies in Sichuan were not short, which made Yang Sen very ashamed.

In fact, Yang Sen can't be blamed entirely. For one thing, Hanzhong's terrain has been known to be difficult to climb to the sky since ancient times. Back then, Liu Bang vs. Xiang Yu managed to escape to the sky by crossing Chencang secretly on the plank road.Second, the person Chen Shufan sent to stop Yang Sen in Hanzhong was none other than the famous Yang Hucheng in history. This old man has a Shaanxi army composed of a large group of swordsmen, and his combat effectiveness is really not great.Anyway, there was a tug-of-war with Yang Sen in Hanzhong, and Yang Sen had nothing to do with this man for a while, and angrily called him brown sugar, he was really clingy.

However, the Shaanxi army is not monolithic. After Chen Shufan became the governor of Shaanxi, he actively supported personal forces and attacked revolutionary forces. He promoted his classmates, fellow villagers Liu Shilong, Zeng Jixian, Zhang Baolin, Zhang Feisheng, Zhang Danping, etc. Hu Jingyi, a member of the Democratic Party who has made great contributions to expelling Lu, only appointed the head of the regiment, Gao Jun as the deputy head of the regiment, and Cao Shiying's department did not even have a regular army.

This gave Jing Mu and others a very good opportunity, to be precise, an opportunity to instigate rebellion.First of all, Jing Yuexiu, the tenth brother of Jing Wumu who guarded Yulin, secretly fell to the national government, and secondly, Hu Jingyi and others secretly connected with Chen.

But these people were not strong enough. Chen Shufan took three editors, Chen Shufa, Yan Feilong, and Wang Feihu, to hide in Xi'an. Everyone had nothing to do with him for a while, and the situation in Shaanxi was so deadlocked.Until September 9rd, in the direction of Henan, Wu Peifu commanded the 3rd Division, 11th Division, and No.6 Division of the direct line, with a total of [-] troops. After receiving supplies from Wuhan, they unceremoniously moved westward.

Don't look at Wu Peifu, a tiger, who has little to do with Zhang Zongchang, who is supported by the Japanese power, but if it is to deal with the Shaanxi army, the local troops in the eight towns of Longshang are not easy to catch.At this time, Hu Jingyi, who was guarding Tongguan, announced his defection, and opened the door directly on September 9 to let Wu Peifu's 5 troops in.Then Jing Yuexiu and other local generals announced their opposition to Chen.Now, the battle situation in Shaanxi, which had been silent for three months, was completely overturned almost overnight. Only then did Chen Shufan, who was sitting in Xi'an, really feel what it means to be a catastrophe and the end is approaching.

But Chen Shufan only had [-] Shaanxi troops in his hands, and he dared not throw away the tall city walls of Xi'an to face Wu Peifu, so he sent a telegram to complain to the central government. At this time, there is nothing to do except routinely use telegrams to crusade against Wu Peifu.Chen Shufan gritted his teeth and cruelly invited two foreign aids. The first one was Liu Zhenhua from the Zhensong Army. However, this guy has only [-] troops and is currently fighting soy sauce in Hanzhong.The second one is naturally the Eight Towns of Longshang. Chen Shufan told these eight military lords very clearly, don’t make trouble there, the Northwest Brothers belong to the same family. to greet you.

Before the eight towns of Longshang figured it out, on September 9, the vanguard of Wu Peifu's army arrived in Xi'an. Chen Shufan didn't know the details and dared not go out of the city to fight. On the 10th, Wu Peifu began to besiege the city in an all-round way. Although no artillery was fired to attack the city, people in Xi'an were panicked.

It can be said that Chen Shufan was aggrieved to the extreme, he did not dare to fight, he did not have confidence in defense, internal thieves were everywhere, and foreign aid was not available.He suddenly sighed and said, "I, Chen Shufan, have come to this point."

On September 9, under the persuasion of Jing Wumu entering the city, Chen Shufan finally agreed to surrender after discussing with the senior generals under his command. Down the whole territory of Shaanxi.

Naturally, the reorganization of the Shaanxi Army will be the next step. The personnel decision in Wuhan will be finalized soon. Jing Wumu will be the governor of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, Hu Jingyi will be the commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, Chen Shufan will be transferred to Nanjing, and Jing Yuexiu, Yang Hucheng, Gao Jun and Cao Shiying remained as the division commander, chief of staff and two infantry brigade commanders of the No.20 Second Division of the Youth Army respectively. The No.20 Second Division is also the first division to implement the reform of the establishment of the First Division, the Second Brigade and the Fourth Regiment.

And Wu Peifu did have the idea of ​​occupying Shaanxi and then seeking the Central Plains, but after all, it is not the Warring States Period. Although he occupies the homeland of the Sanqin, if there is no logistics and no weapons, what is the use of occupying this place?Wu Peifu finally convinced himself to give up this idea.

On September 9, Wu Peifu accepted the appointment from Wuhan and served as the commander of the Northwest Frontier Defense Army. He had five frontier defense divisions under his jurisdiction. The 15 army is mighty and mighty, only rushing to Gansu. . .
