young marshal spring and autumn

That afternoon, Yu Xuezhong's troops entered the city first, and held a grand military parade in the east of the city for the young marshal who came later.Lu Rongting, the leader of the old Gui army, and Tang Jiyao from Yunnan both sent people to attend and witnessed this historical moment together.

Subsequently, Zhang Hanqing reorganized the Guangdong army, established the Guangzhou Military Region Command, appointed Yu Xuezhong and commander, and Zhao Minggao, a veteran Fengjun general, served as his deputy commander instead.In only one year, Yu Xuezhong jumped from a battalion commander to regiment commander, brigade commander, acting division commander, and then became a senior member of the same rank as Han Linchun and Ji Yiqiao. The speed of promotion is rare among the generals of the Feng Dynasty. Impressive Among them, only Jiang Baili jumped from lieutenant general to general in less than 10 days.

Yu Xuezhong was grateful for the young marshal's trust, but he refused repeatedly and dared not accept the order.He said: "Xuezhong was promoted from a battalion commander to a regiment brigade commander and division commander. He was always trembling. He thought that his ability was mediocre, and he failed to convince the masses. The young commander even entrusted him with a big task in a strategic location in Guangdong. No matter how arrogant Xuezhong is, how dare he dare?" I agree? There are more than ten million capable people in the old commander's tent. Please ask the young commander to balance the old man's heart, or ask Master Zhao to be the commander, or transfer one or two veterans from Fengtian, learn loyalty and obey orders, and dare not There was a military order wrong."

Zhang Hanqing knew that this person had a high evaluation in history, was loyal, and had strong personal abilities. From several battles, he could see that he had a unique vision and a good organization.However, it is indeed too early to arrange for him to be a member of the party at this time, but given time, it is indeed difficult for anyone in the Fengtian army to surpass him.Now that the southeast is pacified, civil strife in Guizhou, Guizhou, and Yunnan are not in progress, and this is a poor place. In the north, Sun Chuanfang is about to enter Fujian. According to official history, it will be the situation of going north to Zhejiang, and it will be suppressed by the Wuhan Military Region. Only 3 divisions are needed. Guarding here, there should be no major changes in the short term.So he said quietly: "The important place in the southeast, there is no one in the old commander's office except Sun Fu (Sun Liechen) and Zhang Fu (Zhang Zuoxiang). The chief of staff Guo in North China is a suitable talent, but the troubled place in the north is not suitable Dispatch. Commander Jiang (Baili) has planned to rule East China. Although there are many brave generals in the People's Army, they are not as good as his elder brother in terms of overall strategy." He looked at Yu Xuezhong and said sincerely: "The current situation in the whole country is very important to the People's Army. It is very beneficial, my brother will arrange the affairs of East China in a few days, and the corner of South China will be handed over to my brother."

So the young marshal fought against all opinions and formally appointed Yu Xuezhong as the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, with Zhao Minggao as the deputy commander, and Jin Yun'e as the chief of staff. He had three divisions of the People's Army, the 9th, 10th, and 11th, and the headquarters was located in Guangzhou.

On the day Zhang Hanqing entered Guangzhou, he ordered the people's army to cross the Xijiang River and confront the Gui army at Gaoyao.Seeing that the people's army was powerful, Lu Rongting had no choice but to withdraw his troops from the occupied area.When Yu Xuezhong entered Guangzhou, he first obtained 1000 million yuan of road funds personally arranged by Zhang Zuolin through Zhang Hanqing, and took advantage of the rare years of peace that followed to fully build the Zhuzhou-Shaoguan section of the railway, so as to open up the Guangdong-Han Railway as soon as possible , forming a strategic channel from Wuhan to Guangzhou.Relying on the traditional advantages of trade in the southeast, Guangdong quickly became another strategic base of the People's Army after the Northeast and Hubei.

At the same time, under the planning of the Northwest People's Government, the construction of the railway from Xi'an to Baoji was completed, connecting the railway from Baoji to Tianshui.It is laid from Tianshui to Lanzhou in the west, and extends from Xi'an to Tongguan in the east. It is planned to connect to Luoyang when possible, and complete the Longhai Railway connecting the west, middle and east.In history, due to successive years of wars, it was not completed until 1953 after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is really a shame for the country and a tragedy for the nation!Zhang Hanqing suffered too much during the Spring Festival travel in his previous life, and determined to build a railway network with well-developed transportation.The completion of the Longhai Railway will enable the four divisions of the Lanzhou Military Region to have full maneuverability, which is of extraordinary significance to the construction and development of the central and western regions, both now and in the future.

In the Far East, because the situation of the Soviet Russian government improved after 1921, the regime gradually consolidated.At this time in Japan, due to the huge military expenditures for sending troops to Siberia, it caused domestic financial difficulties, and the people's anti-war public opinion was on the rise.The Japanese government had no choice but to propose talks to the Far Eastern Republic government in July to resolve the disputes between the two parties in an attempt to achieve their goals through diplomatic channels.One month before the meeting, Japan signed an agreement with the officers of the Belarusian army leader Semy (Miao) Novov, the main content of which was: "With the consent of the generals of Seminov's faction, Japan intends to occupy Vladivostok, Shuangchengzi and the Middle East Railway. , and intends to control all hunting, fishing and forest rights in the Maritime Province, Sakhalin and other provinces, control the mineral and gold mine rights in the Maritime Province and Amur Province, and finally eliminate the Far Eastern Republic.” The above facts show the sincerity of Japan’s talks with the Far Eastern Republic .It is conceivable that the subsequent Dalian Conference will end in failure.

On August 8 of the same year, representatives of both sides held a meeting in Dalian.In addition to refusing to withdraw troops, Japan also proposed some harsh conditions and requirements, which were rejected by the delegation of the Far East Republic.The talks were interrupted on April 26.During and after the Dalian Conference, Japan did not relax its aggression against the Far East. From the end of October to the beginning of December, Japan supported the White Guard troops led by the bandit Bochilev to Kamchatka and occupied Kishka, Petrobav and Lovesk.During the meeting, the Japanese government refused to withdraw Japanese troops from the coastal province, and expanded the occupied area to advance beyond the boundaries of the neutral zone.

However, the situation on the Far East Front soon improved. On February 1922, 2, the army of the Far Eastern Republic defeated the White Guards near Vorochaevsk, and on February 12 liberated Khabarovsk.The victory of the People's Revolutionary Army and the guerrillas, and the intensification of internal and external contradictions in Japan forced the Japanese government to renegotiate with the Far Eastern Republic and Soviet Russia. Representatives of the three parties held a meeting in Changchun in early September. Since Japan refused to withdraw its troops from North Sakhalin Island, it was suggested to conduct negotiations on the basis of the Dalian talks. Negotiations were interrupted again on September 2.Japan's attempt to stay in the Primorye region with the help of the new White Guard "government" of ex-Kolchak General Kidrichs also failed. On October 14, the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far East Republic marched into Vladivostok, and the armed intervention of Japanese imperialism and the White Bandit Army supported by it was crushed.So far, the Far Eastern Republic has realized the unification of Siberia and completed its historical mission. On November 9, the Far Eastern Republic merged with Soviet Russia, and Soviet Russia was renamed "Soviet Union".

The Republic of China under the control of the Feng Dynasty was the first country to recognize the Soviet Union, which was attributed to Zhang Hanqing's "far-sightedness".Both China and the Soviet Union are committed to the development of economic construction. Therefore, the Sino-Soviet border has become one of the most stable areas in the world at the same time.The new commander of the Kwantung Army, General Minobu Ono, had no choice but to withdraw the Harbin garrison back to the South Manchuria Railway when he took office, bringing the situation between China and Japan back to the state at the beginning of the signing of the Japan-Russia Treaty of Portsmouth.
