young marshal spring and autumn

The People's Army occupied Hefei, that is, divided its troops and conquered various places.After Feng Yuxiang's rebellion, he withdrew his troops in Anhui to the north of the Huaihe River, and took control of places in Huaibei such as Fuyang, Haozhou, Suzhou, Huaibei, Bengbu and other places.After Zhang Hanqing subdued several of Feng's generals, he accepted them as soon as they were good, not for himself.In order to continue to divide the lineage, Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng was sent back to re-appoint Feng Yuxiang as the guardian envoy of Huaibei, as a buffer with Wu Peifu's Ministry in Henan.Feng Yuxiang thoroughly understood the strength of the People's Army. After taking office, he announced "resting troops to support the people", obeying the central government militarily, and showing favor to Zhang Hanqing. In essence, he has split from the direct line.

Feng Yuxiang's troops withdrew from Hubei, and Hubei's autonomy became possible.At this time, Jiang Baili had arrived, and the three giants of the People's Army gathered together to discuss the next battle plan.At this time, the Zhili forces had been divided into three parts: the Wu Peifu faction dominated by Zhi and Yu in the north, and Jiangsu, which was ruled by Qi Xieyuan in the east. They were only connected by Xuzhou, or they might communicate with Tian Zhongyu, the governor of Lu.Chen Tiaoyuan, another direct general in Jiangxi, did not have such good luck. The west and north were Hunan, Hubei, and Anhui controlled by the People's Army respectively. The opponent, Lu Yongxiang, who is based in Zhejiang Province, is waiting for the enemy on three sides, and the situation is very bad.

With the eyes of a strategist, Jiang Baili saw Jiangxi's advantages at a glance: the four provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, and Jiangxi were united into one, and Dongke, together with Zhejiang and Anhui, conquered Jiangsu and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River—at this time Because of the discord between Zhifeng and Feng, Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui faction, is ready to move again. If he can unite the existing strength of the Anhui faction and use the bait to divide Jiangsu and Shanghai equally, he can conquer Jiangsu and Shanghai within ten days.

Zhang Hanqing also thought this way, and this is no longer a strategic vision: Jiangxi was originally the place where Sun Yat-sen's "Northern Expedition" must pass.If Jiangxi is captured, once the North-South peace talks are held in the future and the Cantonese army cannot go north, then even if Sun enters Beijing, he will have to rely on the Feng Faction to make arrangements for China's political situation. United with Sun Yat-sen to establish the unified Three People's Principles of the Republic of China, but seeing the expansion of strength, Zhang Hanqing's thinking has also changed--with this group of elite soldiers and generals, he can do a big business by himself!According to historical facts, a coup d'état to expel Sun Yat-sen is about to take place in Guangzhou. If we don't wait to get involved in Jiangxi Province at this time, should we wait for Sun Yat-sen to come back next year?

After deliberation, it was decided to use Zhang Wensheng and a brigade of the old Anwu Army to guard Hefei and Chuzhou to form the Anhui Security Command.Jiang Baili led the 1th Division and Wang Duqing's mixed brigade across the Yangtze River, attacked Jingdezhen from Huangshan, and threatened Poyang County on the left wing of Nanchang; Zhang Hanqing, Yu Xuezhong's 7th Division, and Jin Yun'e's mixed brigade, together with Sun Chuanfang's 9th Division, commander of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, turned around Attack Xingzi and De'an from Jiujiang, and attack Nanchang from the front; Ji Yiqiao returned to Hunan and mobilized the 8st and 1th elite divisions of the Central Hunan People's Army to attack Tonggu from Changsha across the Liuyang River, and threatened the right wing of Nanchang along the Nanliao River.The three-way army marched straight to Nanchang with mighty strength, under the slogan of "abolishing the governor and reducing the army".

Under the devastating offensive of the People's Army and its troops, Deng Ruzhuo, Chen Guangyuan's confidant and the guardian of northern Jiangxi, was completely defeated and had no power to parry.It took only 7 days for Zhang Hanqing to force the city of Nanchang, and joined forces with the 4th Division Zhang Chengde in Anyi.

Chen Guangyuan urged Fang Benren, the guard envoy in southern Jiangxi, to rush to the rescue. However, Fang Benren had always been inclined to the Guangzhou Nationalist Government, and had a good impression of Zhang Hanqing, who called himself the "Three Principles of the People." According to the military order, no words of war are allowed."Zhou Yinren, the commander of the 12th Division stationed in Jiangxi, saw that things were not harmonious, and in order to preserve his strength, he led his troops to flee to Fujian.

Chen Guangyuan saw that the rescuers could not come, and Wu Peifu was beyond his reach, knowing that there was nothing he could do, so he had to send a telegram to express his resignation from the post of military governor, which was much faster than Zhang Hanqing expected.All the places north of Ji'an and Fuzhou were subdued, and only the guards of Gannan controlled the three cities in the south to wait and see.

After Jiangxi was pacified, Zhang Hanqing reorganized the Central China People's Army and increased the establishment of the Yangtze River Fleet.One of the four brigades of the former Anwu Army in Anhui was reorganized into the 4st Marine Brigade, and the Yangtze River Fleet was formed with its second brigade as the core; Zhao Minggao, deputy commander of the 1rd Division of the Lanzhou Military Region, was promoted to the commander of the 2th Division.The 10th Division was built with Jin Yun'e mixed brigade as the core, and Jin served as the division commander.After Hubei's self-government, it has been under the control of the People's Army. In order to facilitate the unified arrangement of the military, the Hubei 3st Division was changed to the 10th Division of the People's Army, and the division commander was still Zhao Ronghua.

The cunning Sun Chuanfang saw the reorganization, reorganization and replacement of the surrendered generals in various provinces, fearing that his division would also be affected, and took the initiative to ask Zhang Hanqing to be transferred to southern Jiangxi to recover the unrested land, but in fact he was far away from the "cause of disaster".Zhang Hanqing had known this man's will for a long time, and it happened to be reorganized when soldiers and generals were dispatched from various places, and he didn't want to be too aggressive with him at this time to turn his face, so he called him to be the border defense envoy of Jiangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang.In October, a war broke out in Fujian to expel Li Houji, governor of Fujian. Sun Chuanfang was ordered by Zhang Hanqing to lead an army from Hubei to Fujian via Jiangxi.

The people's army's victorious victories made Chen Jiongming, the governor of Guangdong who did not agree with the Northern Expedition, aroused a dissatisfaction.As a last resort, Sun Yat-sen returned to Guangdong from Shanghai at this time last year and became the very president of the Republic of China, but he was not recognized by the big powers.However, Sun Yat-sen was determined, actively organized the Northern Expedition, and personally went to Guangxi to lobby Li Zongren, the new leader of the Guangxi Clan, to obtain the support of the Guangxi Clan.His important subordinate and later successor, Chiang Kai-shek, was originally invited to be the former commander-in-chief of Chen Jiongming's Second Army of the Guangdong Army. Because of Chen's feud with Sun and hindered the Northern Expedition, he came to Guangxi to meet with Sun Yat-sen and discuss the "Eastern Expedition and Northern Expedition". Move the base camp to Shaoguan.

Seeing the strength of the People's Army, Chen Jiongming only wanted to "inter-provincial self-government" and keep the territory.Li Houji, the governor of Fujian Province, first joined the Anhui clique and later switched to the direct clique. He is currently defeated by Zang Zhiping, the remnant of the Anhui clique. It is rumored that Li Houji, the Fujian governor, has asked Sun Chuanfang, the newly appointed Jiangxi-Zhejiang-Fujian border defense envoy, for help.Sun Chuanfang is an official appointed by Zhang Hanqing. If he enters Fujian, he will definitely have trouble with him.He doesn't want to blame Zhang Hanqing for causing the war, so he interferes in every possible way.Sun Yat-sen had no military power in his hands, so he was naturally very angry, and returned to Guangdong from Guangxi in summer.Sun Yat-sen saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army was victorious in southern Jiangxi, marched into Ganzhou, and went straight to Guichang, so he let Hu Hanmin stay in Shaoguan, and returned to Guangzhou by himself, where he and his wife Soong Ching Ling stayed in the Yuexiu Tower of Guanyin Mountain, the presidential palace.Ye Ju, a general of Chen Jiongming's department, led the troops stationed in Guangxi and Guangdong back to Guangzhou without authorization, and demanded military pay from the Generalissimo's Mansion to provoke troubles.Sun Yat-sen was furious and dismissed Chen Jiongming.

Seeing that the time had come, Chen Jiongming secretly ordered his confidantes Ye Ju, Hong Zhaolin, Xiong Lue and others to assemble fifty battalions of 15 troops and launch an attack late at night on the 6th, in an attempt to capture or kill "Sun Dapao" alive, in order to achieve Its purpose is to dominate Guangdong and enter Tuyuan. In the early morning of June 16, Ye Ju and others bombarded the presidential palace.Soong Ching Ling put the country first, and repeatedly begged Sun Yat-sen to go first. Sun Yat-sen hesitated again and again.After many twists and turns, Sun Yat-sen and the others finally arrived safely in Huangpu and boarded the Yongfeng ship.Chen Keyu, head of the guard regiment, and Li Zhangda, head of the second regiment, commanded the guard regiment and guards to resolutely defend the presidential palace.Li Zhangda and other commanders repelled the rebels' dozens of charges in a row, killing the rebels' corpses all over the field, and blood flowing into rivers.Until [-] o'clock in the morning, they knew that they were outnumbered and decided to retreat.Nearly six o'clock in the morning, Li Zhangda and others led the guard group to finally withdraw from the presidential palace, rushed out of the siege, and arrived at Haizhu Island in Changdi. They made great contributions to defending Sun Yat-sen and Mrs. Sun.

In the official history, Chiang Kai-shek followed Sun's call of "it is urgent, and we hope to come quickly", and starred night from Shanghai to Guangdong. He coordinated and commanded the battle on the Yongfeng ship for 56 days, and finally escaped on August 8th.Sun Yat-sen retreated to Shanghai for the second time, sending out the sorrow of "the south and the north are like birds of a feather"!

However, this battle also established Chiang Kai-shek's impression in Sun Yat-sen's mind. Chiang returned to Shanghai with Sun, and wrote "President Sun's Difficulties in Guangzhou", and asked Sun Yat-sen to write the preface.In the official history, he was ordered to be the chief of staff of the East Road Behavior Army. After defeating Chen Jiongming, he achieved his prestige in the Kuomintang and the army, and also created a generation of heroes.

However, Zhang Hanqing was faster than him. Knowing the historical facts, he swore to go south in Wuhan the day after Sun Yat-sen's disaster.The 8th and 10th divisions of the People's Army of the Wuhan Military Region assembled in Zhuzhou along the Guangdong-Han line, marched towards Hengyang, and arrived in Chenzhou on June 6.The 18th, 4th, and 9th divisions stationed in Jiangxi gathered in Fuzhou.Fang Benren, the guardian envoy of Gannan, ordered the headquarters to open the road and allow the People's Army to cross the border.

Chen Jiongming urgently dispatched troops and generals to set up checkpoints in dangerous places.On the western front, one division defended at Jinjiling, northwest of Shaoguan, and on the eastern front, deployed defenses in the Shiziyan area north of Heyuan.And ordered the Guangzhou army to attack Sun Yat-sen with more intense firepower to eliminate the threat in the abdomen and concentrate on dealing with the military in the north.

Under Chen Jiongming's fierce attack, Sun Yat-sen's "Yongfeng Ship" was injured in many places, and he had to withdraw from Guangzhou Bay and retreated to Shanghai more than a month earlier.At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was still on the sea route to aid Guangdong. Whether the two could still meet as they did in the official history is unknown, and it is not the content of this book.

Chen Jiongming defeated Sun Yat-sen and was about to spare all his strength to command and defend the enemy. Unexpectedly, seeing that he could not attack for a long time, Yu Xuezhong led his troops not far away for hundreds of miles, sneaked across Yinna Mountain and Jiaoling in the north of Meizhou, and occupied Meixian and Xingning unexpectedly. There is an attempt to capture Longchuan and cover the back of Shiziyan on the right.The right army of the Cantonese army had no choice but to divide its troops and retreat to Longchuan, but the People's Army had a large number of troops, and by surprise, they defeated the small number of reinforcements from the Cantonese army and marched into Heyuan.The defenders of Shiziyan were attacked by the enemy, and the whole army surrendered.

After succeeding, the People's Army divided its troops into two groups on the west front, with Yu Xuezhong's 9th Division and Jin Yun'e's 11th Division going straight to Huizhou, and fought a strategic decisive battle with the Guangdong Army in Guangzhou on the side of Luofu Mountain--Bo Luo Ruo Shi, There is no danger to the east of Guangzhou.Along the way, Zhang Chengde's 4th Division passed through Lianping and Wengyuan to push the rear of Shaoguan, occupying the Guangzhou-Shaoguan section of the Guangdong-Han Railway, cutting off the supply ahead.

The icing on the cake is easy, and the charcoal in the snow is less.In this eventful autumn, the Guangxi faction also beat the dog in the water, and Lu Rongting also used the name of "King Qin" to send troops from Wuzhou to occupy Fengkai and Yunan counties. He wanted to use Xijiang as the boundary and arrange the distribution of benefits after the war in advance.This was a handy move. There were no more soldiers to the west of Guangzhou, and the Guangxi faction could easily obtain Yunfu, Zhaoqing, Jiangmen, Yangjiang, Maoming, Zhanjiang and other areas in Guangdong Province, about 1/3 of the province's territory.

Attacked from three sides, Chen Jiongming had no choice but to issue a peace statement on July 7.But how could Zhang Hanqing allow him to have a chance to breathe?In the telegram on July 1, it was said: "The ministries of Yu, Zhang, Wei, Zhao, and Jin should go south immediately to completely eliminate the enemy on the frontal battlefield. The great cause of the unification of the southeast is here. Overlord'." On July 7, Huangpu, Guangzhou was captured, and Chen Jiongming and his family fled to Hong Kong by boat.
