young marshal spring and autumn

The Zhi and Feng clans defeated the common enemy, and soon fell into new troubles.

After the war, Cao Kun served as the patrol envoy of Zhilu and Henan and the governor of Zhili, and Wu Peifu was the deputy envoy of Zhilu and Henan.In order to comfort Zhang Zuolin's dissatisfaction with Wu Peifu's appointment, Jin Yunpeng appointed Zhang Zuolin as the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces and the economic envoy of Mongolia and Xinjiang, and controlled Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan; Zhang Hanqing was appointed as the governor of Gansu.

Zhang Zuolin was so complacent in Beijing that he uttered wild words.Facing a group of foreign reporters, he flaunted his current strength of 30 troops.A reporter asked in surprise: "Your military strength is 10 more than that of the entire United States!" Wu Peifu was very disgusted to see Zhang Zuolin's air of showing off his might in Beijing.He arrived in Beijing on the 16th, and left Beijing on the 17th. He first went to Zhengzhou, convened a meeting with the generals of the direct line, and decided to choose Luoyang as the training base.Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin were not in a hurry to leave Beijing, but intended to share the spoils.President Xu Shichang was so anxious that he had no choice but to meet their demands.After the requirements were basically satisfied, Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin left Beijing for Tianjin on September 9th, where they formed a family with sons and daughters.

Zhang Hanqing was always preventing the occurrence of the Zhifeng war in history, but in such a situation, due to the uneven distribution of spoils, all the immediate people held their breath.According to this trend, it won't be long before the Zhifeng war in history is bound to happen.The direct lineage occupies all the places north of the Yangtze River, backed by countries such as Britain and the United States. Wu Peifu is powerful, and he is always thinking of launching the Second World War to re-divide the forces.Now that I have spread too much, it is really inappropriate to turn against Zhili at this time.

Most of them are old-school generals in the Feng Clan. These people have been with Zhang Zuolin for a long time. Although they have contributed a lot in some wars, their style is rough and has a strong warlord style.When he was still outside the pass, many people advocated that Zhang Zuolin be the "Emperor of Earth" outside the pass.The officers and soldiers of the Feng army also have a strong nostalgia for their hometown, and they instinctively reject sending troops to fight in foreign lands.

From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the Feng faction successively acquired provinces and regions such as Xing'an, Mongolia, Gansu, Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan, and northern Shaanxi, greatly increasing their strength.With the expansion of the power of the Feng family, the ideas of gradually occupying mountains as kings, arming separatist regimes, forming cliques, and enfeoffing princes came up again.

Zhang Zuolin was originally a bandit, a rough old man.Although in the process of fighting for power and profit in the Feng Faction, he succeeded by virtue of his own cleverness, but he was completely unaware of China's crisis. He took it for granted that Japan's ambitions were just to gain some benefits in the Northeast, and it would not really threaten his rule or power. What's more, they have the ambition to annex the Northeast.After gaining the strength of nearly 10 provinces and regions, I couldn't help being complacent, and I had the idea of ​​"I am the best in the world, who else can I".Before entering Beijing, he talked to a reporter from the Western News in Tianjin, saying, "He only discussed the aftermath with Cao Kun, and Wu Peifu is just a teacher and should not interfere with politics."

Zhang Hanqing was very worried about the arrogance of the top and bottom of the Feng family: external enemies surrounded him, and internal divisions were divided into north and south.With the strength of the Feng army, it is a little good at dealing with the warlords of various factions, but it is far from the strength of the Japanese army.He often commented with Zhang Zuolin on the characters of the Fengjun, whether they commented on current affairs, said that internal talents were withered, and there were few generals who could stand alone and have a strategic vision. He advised Naifu that it was too early to get rid of the threat of the Japanese and unify China.

In Zhang Hanqing's view, the only general in Fengjun who can stand alone is Han Linchun.The rest, like Li Jinglin, Tang Yulin, Xiqia, Wan Fulin, Yu Zhen, Zhang Jinghui, Xu Lanzhou, etc., can only serve as guardian envoys of one side, and some can't even be counted as standard generals.Some outstanding ones, such as Jiang Dengxuan, enjoy high prestige among the soldiers because of their resolute and courageous temperament, boldness and despise of wealth, not only honor and profit, strict military management, and ability to share joys and sorrows with soldiers, but they are not good commanders.Although Jiang Ye was listed as one of the "Five Tiger Generals of Fengjun" in the official history, his military achievements were not outstanding, and sometimes it is not an exaggeration to describe him as repeated battles and repeated defeats.

Guo Songling is also a general, and he is rare among the senior officers of the Fengjun Army. However, because of the "Luanzhou Change" in history, Zhang Hanqing still hopes to keep him firmly by his side.In case he still strikes back like in the official history, the situation he finally won will come to naught again.

Zhang Zuoxiang is also one of them.He has been with Zhang Zuolin for a long time. He is calm, loyal and upright, and has won the trust of everyone.Zhang Hanqing's evaluation of him is that it is acceptable to sit in the central government, but it is useless to serve as a local prince, and his pioneering ability is insufficient.

Yang Yuting is a talent, but he has been deposed for 2 years because of recruiting private soldiers.This person is a good player in military equipment. Although he is a bit domineering in the official history, he has real skills and is a strong candidate for the head of the General Armaments.Zhang Hanqing suggested reactivating Yang Yuting, but he had to work hard to prevent him from forming a party for personal gain and forming his own system.

In addition to talent, the conflict between industry and defense economy has also emerged.The Feng Clan expanded too fast, and the industrial stalls were also expanded. The finances saved in the past two years were barely enough to support the expenses of 2 divisions.The first three-year plan has not yet been completed, and this plan seems to have no focus. Most of the industries are doing their own thing and have not formed a fist.Although the Northeast's industry and economy have revitalized, it has not been directly transformed into military advantages in the short term.In addition, due to the large area occupied by the Feng army, the troops were scattered.In Zhang Hanqing's mind, the ability to concentrate superior forces for a strategic decisive battle is the decisive condition for determining the outcome of a modern war. Gathering a large number of troops in a wide area in a short period of time is a huge task for logistical supplies, organization and command, and requires a strong transportation system. for support.The prerequisite is that the country has a complete national defense layout and plan, and Fengjun lacks such talents.

In Zhang Hanqing's memory, Jiang Fangzhen (word Baili) had a strategic vision in the early days of the Republic of China.The No. [-] military theorist recognized during the Republic of China was brilliant or persevering. His "Zhejiang Tide", his wisdom against Mussolini, his suicide as the principal of Baoding Military Academy, and his Japanese His wife, Ms. Zuomei, his son-in-law Qian Xuesen, his adjutant Jiang Weiguo, and his "History of the Renaissance in Western Literature" are all legendary.The latter, in particular, is still used as a teaching material for Western art history at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

In his life, he wrote many papers that seemed to be "prophecies", which were often fulfilled afterwards.For example, Jiang Baili's "Japanese, A Study of a Foreigner" and "Basic Concepts of the War of Resistance" made predictions about the Anti-Japanese War, which are basically consistent with the facts, which shows the high level of strategy.
