In early January of the 3rd year of the Republic, the four provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai have been basically pacified, with the comeback of Yan Xishan in Shanxi, it was immediately announced that Shanxi would cancel its independence and join the independence alliance of six provinces such as Lusu, this country within a country has expanded to 11 provinces, except for Guanwai, Mongolia, Xinjiang and Beijing-Tianjin, the entire north has been under the actual control of the standard system, the current Minister of Defense Wu Chenxuan, and the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Shanghai in the south are also among them.

Qiaofu, the big president, has no taste for it, half of the country is surnamed Wu, not to mention, even his own capital is surrounded by the other party's territory, and entering and exiting Nanjing is like going abroad to enter and exit two checkpoints.

"Er Zi Dare, isn't this a clear and clear land split?" Wang Zhaoming looked at the telegram handed over by Qiaofu, and the first Buddha was born and the second Buddha was nirvana, "President, we must not agree to his request." Otherwise, Erliu, Tang Jiyao, Lu Rongting, and Li Yuanlong in the southwest should all follow the same example, then our government would not become Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. ”

"Zhaoming should be restless, this matter should be sent to Song Dunchu first, and after the National Assembly has discussed, it is good for our presidential palace to express its position." It has been two years since Jov was elected president, and from the initial ecstasy to the later anxiety, he is now disheartened. Song Meizi also felt that her husband seemed to have lost the passion of the original revolutionary leader, but entered the twilight of his life early, and after dealing with state affairs, he seemed to prefer to practice calligraphy in the back garden of the presidential palace, and even Wang Zhaoming, Huang Kedi, Liao Zhonghan, Chen Yingshi and others were rarely summoned.

"Oh, okay, President. This allowed the Executive Yuan to forward this telegram of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningqing, and Qing to the Congress. Wang Zhaoming also understood that this was Qiao Fu's Li Dai Taozhuang's strategy, although it was not difficult to get out, but being so provoked by Wu Chenxuan's guy that he couldn't fight back, and it was enough for him to be depressed.

In the evening of the same day, a telegram from Xi'an entitled "The Gentry of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningbo, and Qingdao Provinces Requested the Establishment of the Northwest Military and Political Governor's Office" was submitted to the National Assembly. The next day, the parliamentarians of the four northwestern provinces put forward the bill, and with the support of the other seven provinces and the three northeastern provinces, plus the directly subordinate Mongolia, the relative majority soon passed, and even the deputies from Guangdong and Hunan repeatedly stressed that the motion was actually "splitting the country in the name of local autonomy," but the strength of Hunan, Guangdong, and Fujian alone was not enough to confront the general trend, and together with the southwestern provinces and Hubei that were the revolutionary party, they all abstained from voting, and Song Dunchu finally realized how the tyranny of the majority was formed.

In order to maintain the fig leaf of democracy, the Nanjing government had to pinch its nose and recognize the autonomy of the northwest, and on the basis of the independence of the six provinces in eastern China, the four northwestern provinces and Shanxi joined the party, in fact, a situation of confrontation between the north and the south had already formed. In fact, Cao Laosan understands that the situation is stronger than people, if he continues to be tough, I am afraid that the unlucky one is not his own family, the Anhui family has collapsed, and if the only remaining direct line in the Beiyang lineage is also exterminated, the Beiyang family and their ordinary brothers have invested their lives to fight for the Beiyang family since then it has become a historical term, and there will be no time to see the light of day again. Of course, it is not for nothing that there are heroes like Cao Laosan who can afford to put it down, but it is not that there are no masters who don't know how many bowls of dry rice they eat.

The situation in the Northeast is more complicated, first of all, the Japanese want to expand the Liaodong District, that is, the "Kanto Prefecture", and generally want to draw half of the Panjin in the past, Lao Zhang Tongshou looked at the map, the good guy even the Jingfeng Railway is in it, this is also repaid, so the Japanese have always signed for the "black hands" Lao Zhang is not ambiguous, at most let out a tile shop, and the rest will let Qiao Fu Qiao Boss speak.

The temporary international public administration area in Harbin has also been temporary for seven or eight years, and the international division of interests on this land is almost complete, and it makes no difference whether there is a public administration area or not, and anyway, no warlord in this land dares to argue with the foreign powers. It has been three years since the republic this year, and Britain, France, Germany, and the United States have all unanimously agreed to abolish the public administration area, of course, the successor will ensure the interests of the nations, and it is strongly recommended that the government of the Northeast Feng Department respect the original management committee. Zhang Zuolin is not a person who does not know the times, anyway, it is all managed by Chinese, and there is also a lot of his old Zhang's taxes, whether Harbin sends troops into it does not matter the overall situation, so he readily agreed. However, later Zhang Zuolin appointed his old brother Zhang Zuoxiang to serve as the Heilongjiang overseer, this move was obviously worried that the 27th Division that came back from Shaanxi had been infiltrated by the National Defense Army, and even the loyalty of the old brother Zhang Fuchen was also a question mark. Helplessly, the 27th Division, which was accustomed to seeing the rich and handsome life of the National Defense Army, had to be poor and aggrieved in Lhasa, and became a poverty alleviation overseer in Qiqihar. Fortunately, Wu Baixiang, director of the Harbin Management Committee, persuaded other committee members to hire the 27th Division to be responsible for suppressing bandits on the periphery of Harbin, especially the security along the South Manchurian Railway in Harbin, Changchun, and by the way, the 27th Division was given an annual security subsidy of 400,000 oceans, which could be regarded as preventing the 27th Division from being stationed on the frontier with its bare ass. As a result, the 27th Division was estranged from the rest of the Fengtian army from top to bottom, and the 27th Division, which was regarded by others as a lackey of the Wehrmacht, was self-sufficient, and did not rely on the supply of weapons from the Mukden Arsenal like others, and their weapons were soon replaced with Qin crossbow rifles, improved Madsen machine guns, grenadier canisters and Type 01 infantry guns made by Shandong Ordnance. These weapons were all brought in from the customs by the security regiment of the Harbin Management Committee in the name of weapons for their own use, and they were disposed of at a low price to the 27th Division, and the original weapons of the 27th Division and the harvest of the Shaanxi Bandit Suppression were not wasted, and all of them became the weapons of the four supplementary regiments of the 27th Division, so that the 27th Division expanded from more than 10,000 people to 17,800 people, which made Lao Zhang also jealous, although Zhang Zuoxiang knew about this situation, but he was helpless. If you are worthy of Lao Zhang, you have to lose your military heart, and if you don't have the army, you can't be a fart, not to mention that now there are guns and guns and silver from the Harbin Management Committee, and he may not have the idea of being a chicken head rather than a cow queen in his heart.

The idea of the southwestern warlord is even simpler, and the monk can't touch me? The practice of the four northwestern provinces in asking for the appointment of governors apparently allowed them to find a very suitable way for the warlords to divide their territory, and it was a big deal to encourage the gentry under their rule to petition. Anyway, it's all the people's will, hasn't the revolutionary party always flaunted to respect the people's will? The people of Guangxi do not trust foreign officials, so they ask for autonomy and set up the Guangxi Governor's Office. Lu Rongting's heart is happy, this is like a bitch to set up an archway. It can be seen how stupid the original Qing government was, and isn't this kind of public opinion the best means to maintain its rule? Whoever dares to oppose it will give him a big hat that opposes democracy and wants to be dictatorial, stinks him, scolds him, and detains 10,000 pots of to see how he turns over. So Tang Jiyao, Tan Yanhong, and Liu Cunhou all followed the gourd and set up the governor's mansions of Yunnan, Hunan, and western Sichuan in turn, and they all appointed themselves governors, and Zhang Zuolin became the last lord to take office as governors. There is a kind of learning below, Uncle Li did the supervision of the Hubei army, Comrade Xiong Kewu is not called the king and the emperor, but he can't stand the position of the officers below, so he also shyly forwarded the following recommendation telegram to Qiao Fu, which means that other people's babies have jelly beans to eat, and their own son should also give a persimmon cake to touch. Qiao Fu almost vomited blood out of breath, and of course there was another speaker of Song Dunchu Song who couldn't get his head out.

On the one hand, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Seventh Army's westward transfer to seize the opportunity of expanding his troops in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo to prepare for war, and on the other hand, he had to go north to the grassland to defend Sichuan and Shu in the south, exterminate the remnants of the Qingma bandits in the west, and grasp the appeasement of the place internally. Fortunately, although he was nominally the military and political governor, Yu Boxun, who had returned from Shandong, was appointed as the presiding officer of the civil affairs department, and in addition, the Shandong side transferred more than 300 young student cadres and graduates from the youth cadre academy and the political science and law department of Shandong University to support him. As for fighting with these old oilers, hehe, there is an army and a pervasive mood department and a unified investigation office to help, at most you can make some gains in the details, if you move a trick, just wait for the group to be wiped out, what? Accusation. Even if the evidence is conclusive, the first offender will be handed over to the court for trial, and most of the accomplices have become the punching bag for the family members of the bandit victims outside the courtroom. The annihilation of the old families, the violent mass hoeing and rape movements, killing Shaanxi, Gansu and Ning is the head of the people, anyway, there are not many characters found in the list of Du Niang, from the perspective of economy, it can not only reduce social harm, but also release the violence of the masses, and reduce the cost of guarding and transforming these scumbags, by the way, use these bloody pictures to shock and educate other local tyrants and inferior gentry, it is simply a worthwhile thing.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as in remote areas, where the gentry have much stronger control than the government, so the road of suppression of bandits by the mountain troops continues. Until the beginning of the fourth year of the Republic, the Northwest Governor's Office ordered the Seventh Corps (Regiment) of the Shaanxi Public Security Army, which was stationed in Langao, to quickly march to Zhenping and complete the liberation of the last county in Shaanxi Province. On 7 January, with the assistance of the patrol battalions of Zhuxi and Baihe counties, Qin Jinduo, the commander of the general army, led the 7th and 8th companies of the 3rd battalion and the patrol battalion of Pingli County, the 1st battalion and the 1st company with two heavy machine guns, one Type 01 infantry gun, two 60 guns, and the first radio station, with the assistance of the patrol battalions of Zhuxi and Baihe counties, began the battle to recover Zhenping. On the same day, Wang Zishao and two other gentry sent back to southern Shaanxi by the Liaison Office of the Northwest Governor's Office to do the work of plotting rebellion were the guides, and they set out from Langao County and trekked along the Lan River for five days to reach the old town of Zhenping. At this time, the bandits in Zhenping County had already fled into the Jixinling area at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Hubei provinces. According to the name conceived in Langao by Captain Qin and Wang Zishao, the plan of writing a letter to persuade him to surrender was difficult to achieve, so he had to attack militarily. Soon after, the chief of staff of the Governor's Office sent a telegram to the Seventh Corps to advance from the old city to the southeast, and to cooperate with the Liangyun Sub-district and the northern Sichuan bandit suppression force to compress and annihilate the roving bandits on three sides, so as to facilitate the local work. On the 14th, the troops set out from the old city and arrived at Jixinling, Daba Mountain, at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, annihilated the outpost company of the bandit 1 at the three forks of the Tongguan Ditch in Wuxi, and then advanced to Shaziling to defeat the 1st of it. After the battle of Jixinling, the seventh company of the seventh regiment defeated the bandits on Tuyazi, and the main force of this bandit fled in the direction of Yuanmugou. Seven companies chased after each other and wiped out one company of the other party. On the 16th, the 1st and 8th Companies of the 7th Regiment, the regimental headquarters and the Pingli Independent Battalion arrived at Yuanmugou to join the 7th Company. On the afternoon of that day, more than 200 people, including Zhou Wenli, the second leader of the bandits, and his cronies, who were besieged in the forest north of the village, surrendered to the anti-bandit troops with weapons and horses. On the 17th, the bandit leader Ke Yushan fled with more than 10 remnants to a farmer's house. According to the report of the common people, the general captain Qin Jinduo ordered the commander of the first company, Gong Wanchang, to take Guo Tiancheng and platoon to arrest him immediately, capturing more than 30 bandits. After being shot in the leg, Wei Ke Yushan felt that she was in a desperate situation and ended her life of crime with a pistol. On this day, Xia Xiuyi, a major general of the Anhui Army who was mixed with the Ke bandits, led the remnants of more than 30 people to surrender to the Seventh Brigade with guns. On the 18th, more than 30 people, including Wang Jizhan, a major household harboring bandits in Zhenping County, surrendered their weapons to the bandit suppression troops from Wuxi to Yuanmugou. Under the attack of the bandit suppression troops, the remnants of the bandits fled to Fang County. In the battle to annihilate the bandits and recover Zhenping, they killed and wounded the bandit leader Ke Yushan and other leaders, and 23 people below the company platoon commander; The following 349 people, including Xia Xiuyi, the major general of the Anhui army, Zhou Wenli, the commander of the Anhui army, and Wang Jizhan, the big household, surrendered; 423 people below the level of the bandit leader, Anhui army officer, hospital director, staff adjutant, and company commander were captured, and 13 light machine guns, 2 75 mountain guns, 133 pistols, 450 rifles, more than 25,000 rounds of ammunition, and the L radio station were seized. The end of the battle to suppress bandits in Yuanmugou and the liberation of Zhenping County announced the liberation of the entire territory of Shaanxi Province.

In addition to suppressing bandits, the Northwest Governor's Office also issued the "Arrangements for the Follow-up Work of Suppressing Bandits." In view of the progress of the work of suppressing bandits in the Qinling Mountains in southern Shaanxi, it was decided that in addition to the local patrol battalion and the Shaanxi public security army sending additional units and more troops to disperse and garrison the key areas in various localities to strengthen the armed forces, the seven counties of Meixian, Qishan, Baoji, Fengxian, Liuba, Foping, and Zhouzhi must send a sufficient number of Ding Zhuang to join the local public security patrol team according to the size of their population in the mountainous area. In addition, the Governor's Office also sent people to go deep into the mountainous areas to carry out mass work there, and it was imperative that the political power be built there before the winter of the fourth year of the Republic, so that the policies of the Governor's Office would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the bandits would be thoroughly eliminated and the tobacco sprouts would be completely eradicated. In addition, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningqing-Qingdao Northwest Chamber of Commerce, which was established with the help of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, sent people to bring a batch of salt, kelp, cloth, needles, threads and other commodities, and formed a horse gang to go deep into the mountainous areas to trade in exchange for local mountain goods from the masses. Allocate relief grain and medicines to solve the people's living difficulties and cure diseases. It was not until a year later that the anti-bandit units were ordered to withdraw from the mountainous areas and return to the establishment.

At this time, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningqing were already the world of the Northwest Governor's Mansion, down to the mountain villages, up to the gentry and literati, everyone only recognized the Governor's Mansion under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, where did they know that there was a Qiao cannon sitting in Jinling City.
