young marshal spring and autumn

Since General Hu Jingyi of the Yasukuni Army was incorporated, Zhang Hanqing gave his troops a lot of care. Not only did they have no worries about food and clothing, but they also gave priority to the supply of military equipment, which gradually won the hearts of the Yasukuni Army.It is said that the young marshal has no regional views and is dedicated to the public.Hu Jingyi was even more admirable: Although the young commander is young, he knows the general situation of the country and the world like the palm of his hand, and some of his predictions express what ordinary people don't think, but they are reasonable.The Young Marshal's ambition of ending the warlord melee, unifying the Republic of China, establishing a centralized central government, and then gradually transitioning to a democratically elected government, as well as his plan to ally with Soviet Russia, cooperate with Britain and the United States, and expel Japan are very feasible in his opinion.

Originally, Sun Yat-sen's "Three People's Principles" had inherent theoretical flaws: since the republic of the five nationalities, it has been criticized and regarded as Han chauvinism.Zhang Hanqing abandoned this statement and changed to the title of the Chinese nation in order to form a united front of all nationalities in China.In the democratic revolution program, there are the complete realization of people's power, the eight-hour work system, and the thorough agrarian revolution program (that is, the household contract responsibility system), etc., but the Three People's Principles do not have these parts.The principles of democratic centralism, dialectical materialism, and historical materialism required by the People's Party are consistent with theory and practice, that is, revolutionary and thorough.Apart from those who are most loyal to the revolution and the truth, the Three People's People are contradictory in what they say and what they do.All kinds of thinking made Hu Jingyi's ideas new-what nonsense, the People's Party's theory also contains the essence of the Communist Party's theory of later generations. After a long period of baptism and development, how could any political party at that time be able to foresee it?Zhang Hanqing almost wanted to derive the "Three Represents" theory to guide the struggle direction of the People's Party.

Party and government cadres sent by the People's Party took their positions in the 6th Division one after another, and Hu Jingyi strongly agreed.

The Yasukuni Army completely followed the Northwest Army. Zhang Hanqing stationed this unit in Tongguan and prepared to take over Shangluo. This move deeply stimulated Feng Yuxiang.After Feng Yuxiang was expelled from Xi'an, he was bored.Ankang is located in the southernmost part of Shaanxi, in the gap between Shaanxi and Hubei. Its land is poor and its development is weak: the Northwest People's Army is watching it in the west and north, the mountainous corner of Sichuan is in the southwest, and the king Zhanyuan of Hubei is guarding against it like a snake and scorpion in the southeast.If Shangluo is occupied, there will be a trend of closing the door and beating dogs. Once there is a change, it will be called every day and the land will not work.He believes that Wu Peifu's exclusion is also an important factor in this situation, and gradually he has the idea of ​​​​exiting Shaanxi and switching to Henan.Wu Peifu knew of the conflict between Feng Yuxiang and Hubei governor Wu Zhanyuan, so he sent him back to Xinyang to wait for the opportunity to replace Wang Zhanyuan.

Feng Yuxiang's entry into Henan caused another disturbance in the heart of Henan Governor Zhao Ti, who had just experienced the storm of "Henan Yidu".

Zhao Ti supervised Henan for 8 years, but he did not make any achievements in the local area, and his army management remained stagnant at the same level as that of the Yi army in the later period, without any change, so he did not train a combat-capable army.The discipline of his army (especially his brother Zhao Jie's Hongwei army) is far worse than that of the general Beiyang army. Henan people hate Zhao Ti and are most affected by his army discipline.He likes to employ military officers, and most of his staff members are from the oldest Beiyang General School, while Baoding military officer students are dismissed as new recruits in the Zhao Department, and they can't make a name for themselves.It is said that there are three regular sources of money: one is self-sufficiency due to wages, the army often owes wages for several months, and at the end of the year it is sloppy; Through the provincial governor's office and financial institutions, opium donations were directly apportioned to the opium-producing counties in western Henan and put into private pockets.Zhao Ti can write a stroke of color, and likes to draw up his own telegrams, so when he was a warlord, he spent a lot of time in the signing room (office) every day. Therefore, whenever he received a letter or telegram, his chief of staff, the secretary-general, did not dare to open it and keep it. He disassembled it himself.He made a lot of money, but he was very stingy with it, and his subordinates seldom benefited from him, and of course they would not work hard for him in case of trouble, so among the warlords, his troops had the lowest combat effectiveness.

Before the Zhiwan War, after Luoyang Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army was transferred to Shaanxi, Duan Qirui transferred two frontier brigades to garrison Luoyang.When Zhao Ti heard this, he panicked, and used Xu Shuzheng to replace Wang Yinchuan, an important member of the Anfu faction, as the governor of Henan Province, as an invisible exchange condition for consolidating his position as governor.

After this false alarm, Zhao Ti believed that it was not safe to rely solely on the Anhui clique, so he sent Dai Shoushan as a representative to Nanjing to hand over to Li Chun, the first general of the direct clique, Su Du, and asked Li Chunyu to send troops from Xuzhou to assist Henan if necessary.Li Chunxu obediently agreed to Zhao's request, but in fact secretly sent personnel to Henan to investigate Zhao Ti's strength, thinking that Zhao Ti's Henan army had no combat effectiveness.If the Anhui Department wanted to attack Zhao Ti at that time, Li Chun's assistance would not be enough.

Zhao Ti also sent someone to contact Cao Kun, the leader of the Zhili lineage and the governor of Zhili.At that time, the conflict between Cao Kun and Duan Qirui was getting bigger and bigger. Cao thought that Zhao Ti was an honest man who was directly on the border with Henan, so he was cited as the same tune and agreed to support him.In April of this year, Zhao Ti personally went to Baoding to participate in the military alliance of the eight provinces of Zhi, Su, Hubei, Jiangxi, Feng, Ji, Hei and Henan aimed at anti-Anhui faction.So far, Zhao Ti has completely changed from the Anhui lineage to the direct lineage.Before the Zhiwan War, Wu Peifu led his troops to withdraw from Hengyang to the north. Before that, Wu sent personnel to Bian to discuss with Zhao Ti. Zhao Xu and Wu's troops passed and stationed along the Beijing-Han Railway in Yujing.Therefore, Duan Qirui sent a telegram to Zhao to prevent Wu's army from crossing the border, but Zhao refused because of his "powerlessness".In the Zhiwan War, although Zhao Ti did not directly send troops to participate in the war, he always stood on the side of the Zhijun, so that Cao and Wu had no worries, which was a great help to the Zhili.Therefore, after the Zhiwan War, Zhao Ti was still able to maintain his status as governor of Henan.Only Wang Yinchuan, governor of the Anhui Department, was removed and replaced by Zhang Fengtai.

Wu Peifu was promoted to be the Deputy Envoy of Zhilu and Henan, and he was stationed in Luoyang. The Beijing-Han Railway line in Yujing and the west of Zhengzhou were all direct troops, and they were very aggressive. It is said that Zhao Ti was uneasy, so he went to Luoyang in the spring of 1921 to deal with Wu Peifu, and sincerely expressed to Wu that he would only obey Wu's orders from then on.Wu Peifu also disagreed with Wang Chengbin within the direct lineage, and did not support Wang Duyu, so he personally guaranteed Zhao Ti's supervisory position in Henan.For a moment, they were in harmony, and Zhao and Wu became friends with Jinlan.

Unexpectedly, the good times didn’t last long. Cheng Shen, the commander of the Henan No. 4 Mixed Brigade who was dismissed by Zhao Ti, contacted Sun Huiyou and Chen Guangshen in April, and gained the support of fellow Henan residents in Beijing (most of the Henan fellows in Beijing opposed Zhao. ), in Anyang to challenge Zhao, and fought with Zhao Jun in the area of ​​the Eight Kings Tomb in Tangyin.Zhao Ti used the speaker of the provincial assembly, Hu Xiangshan, to send telegrams to refute Cheng Shen and his fellow countrymen in Beijing, and at the same time asked Wu Peifu for help.Wu Peifu sent a brigade of the 25th Division to the south of Xiao Yao and Fan Zhongxiu's troops (Fan's troops were organized into a detachment of Fengjun's Xu Lanzhou Division in Shanxi, and did not go north with Xu's division after being transferred to Henan) to Anyang to defeat Cheng Shen, Sun Huiyou and others; Wu Peifu also telegraphed Feng Yuxiang to stop the conflict with Zhao Jie's troops, and then stabilized Zhao Ti's crisis.But at this time there were also rumors that the simultaneous outbreak of war in northern Henan and southern Henan was instigated by Wu Peifu.

Wu Peifu was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. He was the deputy envoy to Zhilu and Henan (as the official history, Cao Kun had a false title). He was quite capable when he was in charge of Henan. Among the official documents he gave instructions, three of them have been talked about by people all the time. road:

One is the refusal of "high officials".A certain "relationship household" with a bad reputation wanted to seek an official position in Henan. Wu Peifu did not buy into the recommender's account, nor did he use official language to block him. What are the people guilty of?"

One is the refusal to "run the official".A certain military officer learned that there was a vacancy for a brigade commander under Wu's tent. He introduced a self-recommendation letter from the economic and political leaders, in which he talked about his ideals and ambitions. Sangzi" and so on.Wu Peifu was well aware of this person's ability, so he swiped his pen and said, "Let's plant trees first."

One is to reject "female sex".At that time, the daughter of the German ambassador to China was in her young age. She had infinite admiration for Wu Peifu, and she had nowhere to fall in love, so she wrote a letter to propose marriage to him.Wu Peifu didn't know German, so he asked his secretary to translate it and submit it, and the love letter became an official letter.Wu Peifu waved his brush as usual: "My old wife is still here!"

Facing such a political expert with power in his hands, Zhao Ti was extremely grateful to Wu Peifu for quelling the rebellion in southern Henan and northern Henan on the surface. Beware of meaning.Zhang Hanqing has been waiting for him for a long time, and extended an olive branch to him.
