One hundred and one shocking four
When the Second Front Army of the National Revolutionary Army fought fiercely in Wuchang, the famous patriotic general General Feng Yuxiang had actually led his troops to march towards Yanjing City.
General Feng had revolutionary intentions from the very beginning of this anti-direct war, but he was just waiting for an opportunity some time ago. Since the fall of the Nine Gates and Wu Peifu came to Shanhaiguan to supervise the battle, Feng Yuxiang has already made up his mind to fight back. After negotiating with Feng Zhang's deputies, Ma Bingnan, and Duan Qirui's deputies, the major political arrangements after the successful coup d'état, Feng Yuxiang summoned his subordinates to announce that the squad had returned to Beijing to launch a revolution.
Feng Yuxiang's capital revolution also had two important allies, one was General Sun Yue, the commander of the 15th Mixed Brigade, and the other was General Hu Jingyi, commander of the First Division of the Shaanxi Army. Before the start of the war, General Sun Yue was recommended by Feng Yuxiang to President Cao Kun to be the deputy commander of the Yanjing garrison, responsible for the security of Yanjing City. General Hu Jingyi was born in Jing, Shaanxi [***], and Feng Yuxiang were originally enemies, but there are always no eternal enemies and no eternal friends in the world, and now Feng and Hu have changed from enemies to friends, and Feng Yuxiang and Cao and Wu are about to turn from friends to enemies. Now Hu Jingyi was appointed by Wu Peifu as the commander-in-chief of the second route reinforcement army, and ordered him to reinforce Wang Huaiqing, but General Hu, like General Feng, had already had different aspirations, so the army was also moving slowly.
On October 21, 1924, Feng Yuxiang led his troops to Yanjing at the fastest speed, and the vanguard Lu Zhonglin's troops arrived in Beiyuan on the 22nd.
At this time, Sun Yue, the deputy commander of the Yanjing garrison, who had already joined Feng Yuxiang's side, ordered his subordinates to open the city gate and welcome Feng Yuxiang's vanguard into the city. After Feng Bu entered the city, he quickly dispersed according to the coup plan, took control of the whole city, surrounded the presidential palace and disarmed the presidential palace guards. From this day on, President Cao Kun was considered to have done his best, and he became a prisoner in the Yanqing Building in Zhongnanhai, and was not allowed to have contact with the outside world. In addition, Feng Yuxiang also ordered the arrest of Wang Kemin, the chief financial officer, and Li Qingyan, the director of the public government. Hehe, according to this standard, all the military leaders in China at that time, except for Wu Peifu, were afraid that all of them could be shot.
On October 23, Feng Yuxiang, the protagonist of the Yanjing Revolution, arrived in Beiyuan, and immediately sent a telegram led by him, and at the same time appeared on the list of Anmin. He immediately made two demands to President Cao Kun, who had lost his freedom: first, to order an armistice; 2. Wu Peifu was dismissed from all positions. On the 24th, Yan Huiqing's cabinet passed another resolution and issued four orders: 1. Armistice; 2. Abolish the Rebel Army Command; 3. Wu Peifu was relieved of his posts as the Zhilu-Yu patrol envoy and the commander of the Third Division; Fourth, Wu Peifu was appointed as the supervisor of Qinghai Reclamation.
On the 25th, Feng Yuxiang held a military and political conference in Beiyuan, attended by Hu Jingyi, Sun Yue, Wang Chengbin, Huang Yin, Jia Deyao and others. The meeting discussed political reform and other issues, and unanimously agreed to use the banner of Mr. Zhongshan and the Kuomintang to call on the people of the whole country. The resolution was sent to Mr. Zhongshan to the north to preside over the plan. At the same time, he asked Duan Qirui to go out of the mountain to maintain the situation, according to Feng Yuxiang's plan, Sun Yat-sen should be in charge, and Duan Qirui should be in charge. On the second day of the meeting, Feng, Hu, Sun and others jointly sent a telegram asking Duan Qirui to be appointed generalissimo of the National Army.
On the same day that Feng Yuxiang issued a telegram inviting Mr. Zhongshan to go north to preside over the plan, Zhangjiakou, the residence of the Chahar Metropolitan Administration in the northwest of Yanjing, also ushered in a new owner, uh, it should be said that it was back in the hands of the people! This is the Northwest New Army's Eastern Route Army, which reached Chahar from an expedition of nearly 1,000 kilometers from northern Shaanxi. On the 21st, this army conquered Jining without a fight, and then advanced to Zhangjiakou. At this time, Zhang Xiyuan, the commander of Chahar, was fighting on the front line of Shanhaiguan with Wu Peifu, and when he heard that Chahar was in danger, he was about to bring troops back to help, so he got the bad news of the Yanjing coup. Zhang Xiyuan saw that the general trend had gone, so he actually chose to leave, and announced that he would return to Tianjin as a duke. Therefore, when the 20,000 troops led by GCD drove to Zhangjiakou, an important town on the block, waiting for them was actually the welcome of the gentry of the city beating gongs and drums! In this way, the GCD obtained the entire Chahar Special Administrative Region without a single shot, and thus became one with Outer Mongolia.
By the time the news of the revolution in the capital reached the front line of Shanhaiguan, the direct army, under the command of Wu Peifu, had already reversed the decline and was counterattacking the nine gates. At noon on 24 October, Zengjiro Okano, Wu Peifu's adviser, received the most urgent telegrams from Yanjing and Tianjin, the contents of which were similar, and they all said: "Feng Yuxiang, commander of the Third Army of the rebel army, withdrew from the battlefield at 6 p.m. on the 23rd, attacked Yanjing without a gun battle, and staged a coup d'état. The people listed in the telegram who participated in the coup d'état were all direct tycoons, including Feng Yuxiang, Wang Chengbin, Wang Huaiqing, Hu Jingyi, Sun Yue, etc.
Seeing these two telegrams, Wu Peifu knew that his general trend had gone, because he had received a secret telegram from Xiao Yaonan about the fall of Wuhan Three Towns, Jingzhou, Jingmen, Yichang and other places, and the retreat of the whole army to Xiaogan. In addition, two days ago, the news that Zhangjiakou, the capital of the Chahar Special Administrative Region, had been captured by an armed force calling itself the Northwest New Army and the Eastern Route Army, also reached the direct army headquarters on the Shanhaiguan front in the morning. In addition, Qi Xieyuan of Jiangsu Province has sent urgent telegrams one after another since the 21st, saying: "About 5 divisions of the first division of the rebellious party are approaching Nanjing from the direction of southern Anhui, and the two armies of Chiang Kai-shek and Lu Yongxiang, who are rebellious against the party, are approaching from the direction of Shanghai. ”
Now that the defeat of the direct line has been decided, and there is a danger of destruction, Wu Peifu at this time can no longer care about maintaining the demeanor of a famous general, and immediately convened an emergency military meeting at the headquarters, attended by all senior generals, Wu announced the Yanjing coup d'état and the general retreat plan of the direct army with a heavy attitude. Unlike another time and space, the immediate situation is more critical now, so Wu Peifu's retreat plan is also more decisive. Peng Shouxin, Jin Yunju, Zhang Fulai, and other Wu Peifu subordinates on the Shanhaiguan front line abandoned their baggage overnight and went south by train, while Wu Peifu tearfully asked them to delay the Feng army for a while, and after Wu Yan's retreat, they could defect to the Feng army or Feng Yuxiang.
Although as soon as Wu Peifu left, the abandoned direct army immediately surrendered to the Feng army, and Zhang Xueliang's department of the Feng army conquered the Shanhai Pass without a fight, and also seized a large number of baggage supplies left over by the direct army, and incorporated tens of thousands of direct elites. However, Young Master Zhang did not chase after Wu Peifu, but instead made a gesture of letting the tiger return to the mountain, which made the direct generals who had just taken refuge feel inexplicable. Due to Zhang Xueliang's procrastination style, Wu Peifu was able to flee south by train with the remnants of the 14th, 15th, 26th, and student corps, and retreated to Tianjin on the 29th. However, although Wu Peifu still had more than 20,000 soldiers at this time, he was a marshal with no money, no food, and no ammunition.
In the original history, after Wu Peifu became a three-no marshal, everyone still shouted and beaten, and he ran all over half of China in a month, and there was no place for him. However, in this time and space history, it is obvious that it has taken a fork in the road, after Wu Peifu ran to Tianjin, after the shock calmed down for a while, he took a look at the newspapers in Tianjin, and found that he Wu Peifu had been forgotten by the people of the whole country and the world powers in just a few days, whether it was Fengzhang or Feng Yuxiang, who occupied Yanjing, they all threw Wu Peifu's affairs behind them and dealt with more important matters. This more important thing is the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Chahar Soviet Revolutionary Political Axe!
On October 28, 1924, in Zhangjiakou, the capital of the Chahar Special Region, more than 100 kilometers away from Yanjing, the inaugural meeting of the Second and Fourth Front Armies of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was solemnly held. At this time, Zhangjiakou was already a sea of red flags, the ancient city walls, old buildings, magnificent supervision buildings, the prosperous and lively Zhangjiakou Nanguan business district, everywhere fluttered bright red party flags, military flags, young people, workers, peasants, herdsmen on the street are holding high red flags and revolutionary slogans, shouting revolutionary slogans, and carrying out grand parades and celebrations. The end of the parade was the Zhangjiakou Battalion, the base camp of the Second and Fourth Front Armies of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Now there are dozens of phalanxes neatly lined up on the camp field, and from a distance, you can't even see the edge, and your eyes are full of Red Army soldiers wearing gray military uniforms and octagonal hats, neatly arranged.
This Red Army was not only large in number and energetic, but also very sophisticated in its weapons, with 24 75mm mountain guns lined up in front of the infantry phalanx, and hundreds of mortars and heavy machine guns placed behind them. The Red Army soldiers who formed the infantry phalanx also carried brand-new rifles that were polished on their shoulders.
On the rostrum on one side of the field, Zhou Enlai, Li Dazhao, Zhang Guotao, Ye Ting, He L, Soviet adviser Pavlov, Galen, and other leaders of the GCD were delivering exciting speeches one after another.
The inaugural meeting of the Red Army was attended not only by the masses of the people from all over Chahar, but also by a large number of leftist journalists from the Yenching press, progressive students from various universities in Yenching, and representatives of friendly countries such as the Soviet ambassador to China, Garahan. So the next day, the news of the founding of the Chinese Red Army spread through various channels to the whole of China and the whole world, shocking the people of the whole country and the world powers. In comparison, Wu Peifu's 20,000 remnants of the defeated army are naturally not worth mentioning. And Feng Zhang and Feng Yuxiang suddenly found that there were tens of thousands of elite workers' and peasants' Red Army on their side, and naturally they were not in the mood to fight Wu Peifu, a sick cat.
