young marshal spring and autumn

Sure enough, Yoshida Soo was not speculative when he saw the words, and immediately took over and said: "The Kwantung Army is under the direct command of His Majesty the Emperor, and Kawamoto's words represent part of the opinion of the Kwantung Army. The Japanese government does not want to hurt the peace with General Zhang. We just want to We hope that the situation can be resolved peacefully without harming our country's existing interests in China."

Zhang Hanqing is already thinking about how to use this opportunity to directly enter Beijing to stabilize and control the regime.In his memory, the defeat of the Anhui clique was certain, and how to prevent the Zhili and Feng cliques from parting ways and killing each other after they jointly seized power was the ensuing problem.The Chinese nation has already been plagued by many disasters, why should we sprinkle a little more salt on this wound?Can I use the current situation to avoid this fate?

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hanqing said: "The Northeast United Provincial Autonomous Government has absolutely no actions or intentions to harm your interests. As far as the Chinese government is concerned, no matter who comes to power, it is impossible to dare to separate Shandong from China. Mr. Yoshida should understand the current public opinion My father's army came out of Shanhaiguan just to take this opportunity to take control of Beijing, and there is no conflict with your interests. Xueliang would like to ask the two sides to maintain mutual trust and maintain the current rare and stable situation. As for Fengjun's entry into Beijing, It can be assured that all your existing status in China will remain unchanged."

This move was also well thought out in advance.Historically, Japan did not directly interfere with the May 1th Movement, nor did it directly support the eventual downfall of the pro-Japanese Duan Qirui government.Since everyone is still following the original history at this stage, as long as the indirect and severely stimulating Japan's China policy is controlled, at least the trend of history can be changed in China, and it is possible to drive Duan Qirui away one year in advance.

As long as the threat of the Zhifeng war in the future is resolved, and North China and Northwest China under the control of the Beiyang government are governed according to the Northeast model, the greater the strength, the greater the probability of avoiding a full-scale war between China and Japan in the future. When the strength reaches a certain level, China will eventually be peacefully unified. Not impossible.Therefore, Zhang and his son dared to show a tough side when they fully understood Japan's cards, and to a certain extent reassured Japan, so that Japan did not interfere too much in the subsequent development of the situation.

On the 14th, Wu Peifu led his troops to raid Songlindian, where the Frontier Defense Command was located, and some senior generals of the Anhui Faction were forced to surrender.Then, the Zhi army occupied Zhuozhou and pursued Changxindian.The Feng army also suppressed the border with a large army, serving as the backing of the Zhi army.The battle lasted five days.During the battle, the Anhui Army's east and west routes were defeated across the board, and Duan Qirui was like a bereaved dog. On July 1920, 7, Jin Yunpeng gave him his final advice: "The war has been completely defeated, and the combat effectiveness of the border guards has been lost. If we don't try quickly, the food problem in Beijing and China will cause the whole army to collapse without fighting. It's too late for soldiers to approach the city, and it's too late to regret." Duan agreed, and asked Xu Shichang for an order to cease fighting.On the same day, Xu Shichang issued a truce order, instructing all generals to quickly defend the front lines, stop attacking, and wait for orders to resolve.

On July 7, Duan Qirui issued a telegram requesting his removal from office and the name of Ding Guojun.The telegram said: "According to the presidency's Qiaori telegram: 'Recently, the diplomatic corps has received repeated warnings. There are many overseas Chinese in the capital, and their lives and property are extremely important. If the war is prolonged, the danger is beyond words. The two sides should cease fighting immediately and order quickly. Everyone in the front guards the boundary line, stops attacking, and waits for the clear order to resolve' and other reasons. Qirui immediately ordered all the soldiers in the front to stop attacking. This time, Cha Qirui organized the national army to protect the capital. Arbitrary and poor soldiers. It is because of poor virtue and poor ability to deal with it that it is not appropriate to deal with it, which leads to accusations from outsiders. I will work on the master's seat? Read it. Soothe my heart and guilt, and I am deeply frightened. It was stated on the day of the investigation that there was a fallacy. Take your own responsibility. Now it is urgent to impeach yourself and use it to solve the crime. I have already petitioned the chief, the brigadier general to supervise the frontier affairs and manage the affairs of the general's mansion. All honors and medals will be revoked, and the Dingguo Army will also be disbanded immediately, in order to thank the people of the country, and we will forgive each other."

On the same day, Duan Qirui was forced to resign, and the Zhi and Feng warlords took control of the Beijing regime. They still pushed Jin Yunpeng to form a cabinet.

Chief of the Army Jin Yunpeng was originally one of the two generals under Duan Qirui, and the other was Xu Shuzheng, Chief of Staff of the Participation Department.But these two are facing each other like fire and water.Xu Shuzheng is the backstage boss of the Anfu Department, and has great conflicts with Xu Shichang.And Jin Yunpeng does not belong to the Anfu Department, and has a deep hatred with Xu Shuzheng.The enemy of the enemy is a friend, for this reason, Xu Shichang is optimistic about Jin Yunpeng.Jin Yunpeng and Zhang Zuolin are sons and daughters in-laws, with the Feng family as their strong backing.Jin Yunpeng and Cao Kun are still sworn brothers.Jin You and his immediate relatives Wang Zhanyuan and Wu Peifu are all from Shandong.With these political capitals, Jin Yunpeng naturally gained the upper hand in the competition with Xu Shuzheng.Therefore, on September 1919, 9, the Beijing government appointed Army Chief Jin Yunpeng and Acting Premier. On October 24, the House of Representatives passed the cabinet nominated by Jin Yunpeng.Later, due to the opposition of Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng, the list of cabinet members was fine-tuned, and Li Sihao from the Anfu Department was arranged as the chief financial officer. This nomination was passed by the Senate on December 10.

Jin Yunpeng, who became the Prime Minister of the State, really wanted to make a difference and realize his dream of peacefully reunifying China.However, the warlords separated each other and acted independently, and he soon fell into a situation where he could not do anything.Duan Qirui and his Anfu faction have been setting up obstacles and tearing down the stage in an attempt to overthrow the cabinet.Due to diplomatic issues, student movement issues, and financial issues that could not be resolved, and at the same time, the Zhiwan War was about to break out. On May 1920, 5, Jin Yunpeng decided to resign and called Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin not to keep him. On May 9, the Beijing government had to send the chief of the navy to act as the prime minister temporarily. From July 5th to 14th, the Zhiwan War ended after 7 fights.

After the war, the first priority was to form a cabinet.Xu Shichang wanted to use his old friend Zhou Shumo to form a pavilion, Cao Kun took a fancy to Wang Shizhen, the elder of the direct lineage, and Zhang Zuolin still couldn't forget his son and daughter in-law Jin Yunpeng.Jin Yunpeng thought that the time had come and it was time for him to leave the mountain, so he went to Fengtian in person on July 7 to discuss the aftermath with Zhang Zuolin and obtained Zhang Zuolin's support. On the 23th, Zhang Zuolin and Jin Yunpeng went to Tianjin together, and invited Cao Kun to Tianjin for a meeting.Cao Kun arrived in Tianjin from Baoding on the 26th without stopping.At this time, representatives of warlords from all over the country also attended the meeting.At this meeting, it was decided to reinstate Jin Yunpeng to form a cabinet.

On July 7, President Xu Shichang dismissed Duan Qirui, who supervised the frontier defense affairs and managed the affairs of the general's mansion.The second declaration by Sun Yat-sen, Tang Shaoyi, Wu Tingfang, and Tang Jiyao always carried out the idea of ​​protecting the law and saving the country. The north should first abolish the Sino-Japanese military agreement and Article 28, and the peace talks between the north and the south are expected to continue in Shanghai.Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin, Jin Yunpeng and others met in Tianjin and decided to dissolve the Anfu Congress, ask Jin Yunpeng to form a cabinet, and cancel the Shanghai Peace Conference.

On July 7, Xu Shichang wanted to arrest Xu Shuzheng, Zeng Yujun, Duan Zhigui, Ding Shiyuan (director of Beijing-Hanzhou Railway), Zhu Shen, Wang Zhilong (financial director of Anfu Club), Liang Hongzhi (Secretary General of the Senate), Yao Zhen, Li Sihao, Yao Guozhen (deputy director of transportation) ), everyone has taken refuge in the Japanese embassy.
