Chapter 35 ends quickly

Yang Hongsen has always appeared as a loyal believer in Sun Wen's Three People's Principles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info, but does he really believe in those things? I'm afraid there are a lot of people who don't think so.

Just looking at Yang Hongsen's behavior of "fighting local tyrants and dividing up the land" in Jiangxi, we know that this person can't get along with the leftists and rightists of KMT. His measures were mixed with a lot of messy things, such as the "Maenres Maudeng thing", which he used a little bit, but it was not exactly the same as any of them.

According to the fashionable (weird) words, that is, the Three People's Principles with Chinese characteristics. It is also similar to Deng Gong's theory that "no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, it is a good cat if it can catch mice". For Yang Hongsen, what can achieve the goal is good, regardless of the idea or theory.

The reason why he has always dressed himself up as a true believer of Sun Wen is because in the south, only Sun Wen has the highest reputation. Relying on Sun Wen's name, he was able to quickly annex other weak forces and expand his own territory and strength. For this purpose, even if someone launched an assassination attempt against him, he endured it.

But now Hu Hanmin's things in Hanyang have exceeded his bottom line. Originally, he didn't agree with the Northern Expedition, but after part of the army in Jiangxi was transferred, a division of the Cantonese army stopped in Nanchang and did not move. This kind of means of annexing miscellaneous cards is very familiar to Yang Hongsen.

In another world, KMT relied on this method to kill the warlords in the southwest. For example, Long Yun in Yunnan, Liu Wenhui in Sichuan, etc., are all planted in such tricks.

But want to rely on such means to deal with him Yang Hongsen? I can only say that the ones in KMT are still patterns.

It didn't take more time, he and Taiyuan hit it off, and soon reached an intention to cooperate. After hastily finalizing a few basic principles, the army from the north stopped moving south. Not only that, but the arms from Taiyuan were continuously transported into Hubei by rail.

The Western Army stopped before Wusheng Pass, and instead devoted all its energy to dealing with Feng Guozhang's troops in Xuzhou. Airships, flamethrowers, cavalry, light machine guns, heavy artillery, infantry, destroyers, cruisers, as long as there were, were all used on the heads of the remnants of the North Seas.

At the same time, Yang Hongsen integrated the armies of Jiangxi and Hubei, first cleared the ground of the two lakes, and then raised troops to the south, all the way to the outside of Guangzhou. At this time, Feng Guozhang's troops in the north lost more than 100,000 troops after three battles, and the remaining troops either broke up or surrendered directly under the white flag.

Then, as is customary, Feng Guozhang also went into the wilderness. After Cao Kun, Wu Peifu and other generals under him led their troops to resist for a while, they ran out of ammunition and food, and had to surrender.

Originally, these people were still a little worried, because legend has it that the Western army kills people without blinking. Many of the prisoners who surrendered to them were shot to death, and many of the rest were thrown into mines that never saw the light of day.

But surprisingly, the Western Army was not bad for them. With the exception of a very small number of people, the old men who were too old at first glance and the hairy children who were too young were given the passage money and told to go home. Those that looked good were organized as local garrisons.

This kind of garrison, although the organization, morale, weapons and equipment are not very good, but the victory is to have a unified command, and most of them are local snakes, which is very useful to prevent the rout of the army after the war and the spread of bandits. This is the experience of the Black Dragon Society in Hebei before, and the order in many places will collapse in the war, and it needs to be rebuilt by force.

By the time the situation in the north had largely survived, and only a few routs were left to be cleared, the time had already entered the second half of 1905. Japan and Russia finally decided the winner, well, in fact, partial victory, but both countries could not fight, and then the war was truce according to the actual line of control.

And the situation in China has also largely been determined, and the Beijing government, whether Zhang Zhidong is a puppet or not, whether he sits on the presidency or not, is still China's top leader. Zhang Zhidong played his protégés and former officials in Hubei, making them completely fall to Yang Hongsen.

Then the army of Lianghu and Liangjiang drove straight into the city and expelled Sun Wen and his henchmen to the Guangxi side. Under the circumstance of a large army pressing the border, the people in Guangxi resolutely rejected the proposal of the British and the French to divide Guangxi and Yungui and use force to confront the central government, and after quickly exchanging views with Taiyuan, Nanchang, Beijing and other parties, they also changed their banner happily.

By the end of the year, with the exception of Northeast China, which was still occupied by Russians and Japanese, Sichuan was in the midst of a civil war, and Tibet was still in a state of semi-independence, most of China had nominally completed its unification.

Although it was not yet completely reunified, China at this time was already a big country with an annual output of 8 million tons of steel, a standing army of nearly 2 million, and a civilian army of 2 million. The shipyards of Qingdao and Qinhuangdao are already making destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers and other ships like dumplings.

The two 100,000-ton hydraulic presses set up in Handan and Taiyuan finally came to use, and they began to continuously produce armor steel of various specifications. All kinds of advanced equipment and technology allowed the Chinese to build light warships about five times faster than the British.

Although the Beijing government has not yet begun to build battleships due to the treaty with the British, it is already negotiating with the British.

"Why look at the faces of the British?"

"Because we can't follow the old path of the Germans, developing the Continental Army and the Great Navy at the same time." Chen Cheng said seriously: "And the navy is a military branch that needs to be accumulated for a long time, unlike the army, which can train an elite unit in just one or two years." ”

"Doesn't it say that the army uses equipment by people, and the navy uses equipment by people? We have so much modern technology, can't we beat the British? ”

"If you want to defend the near sea, you only need to build a few super dreadnought battleships." Chen Cheng said: "But haven't we just finished fighting now? There are a lot of things to deal with after the war, and it will take us two or three years to get back to production, so..."

He made a gesture of spreading his hands, "We don't have to deal with two strong enemies at once, this is the basic principle. ”

The girl sneered, "However, the current British are already vigorously supporting Japan, don't you know?" ”

"To know is to know, but what does it matter to us? Could it be that the Japanese still dare to start a war with us on land? We have a standing army of 2 million alone, and if the Japanese maintain this number of standing troops, they will be impoverished by eating just by eating every day. ”
