258th Say goodbye to the warlord system!

"Sir, there are some subordinates who want to mention to you.

Kong Xiangxi had just finished introducing Chang Ruiqing's "methods for the founding of the country", and Sun Yat-sen was still digesting those methods in his mind. Chang Ruiqing suddenly stood up and looked at Sun Yat-sen with a solemn face.

Sun Yat-sen smiled: "Comrade Yaoru, sit down and talk, if you have anything to say, just mention it." Chang Ruiqing sat down, his face still solemn: "Sir, these state-building methods proposed by my subordinates may not be able to be realized in the current [China] country!" ”

"Why?" Sun Yat-sen was stunned and asked rhetorically. Although he and Chang Ruiqing are a little inseparable, he can still tell whether the other party's proposed method is good or not. Besides, he is now the "Lord" of the National Government, if he can build the "China" country well, he will say goodbye to the warlord system in the 258th! A "Lord" seat is, of course, the first achievement! If the people are ruined and the country is ruined, his "Lord" seat will come to an end. As a "founding emperor", Sun Yat-sen can still distinguish the important. So he had already made up his mind in his heart and was ready to adopt the Chang family's founding strategy.

Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, because our Republic of China has only achieved reunification in name!" At present, the orders of the central government have not yet reached the whole country, and the entire northwest, northeast, Shanxi,

Sichuan, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places are still doing their own set, not the jurisdiction of our central government!

In addition, our national defense force is not a real national army, and the Central Army, which is now under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Commission, has only 12 armies of more than 600,000, while the total number of local warlord troops is almost 700,000! If we don't sort it out and really unify the country, let alone implement the strategy of building the country, I'm afraid that the end of Beiyang now will be our tomorrow! ”

Sun Yat-sen has already understood the meaning of Chang Ruiqing's words, this Chang Da Revolution family now wants to attack the warlords who are currently supporting the army and separating the country, right? However, Chang Ruiqing's prestige and power in the Central Army are a bit too big! Not only does he have a group of classmates from the Baoding Department around him, but the Qingdi 258 below says goodbye to the warlord system! There are many admirers among the officers of the year, and if the army of the "Chinese" country is completely unified, it will be made into a permanent army, right?

Seeing that Sun Yat-sen was just smiling and not speaking, Chang Ruiqing also knew the other party's thoughts. He pondered for a while, and then looked at Sun Yat-sen with a straight face.

"Mr. Sun" unifies military orders, and unifying government orders is the trend of the times! None of the advanced countries in the world is divided by warlords, and isn't the elimination of warlords and the reunification of China precisely the goal of our people's revolution? Now the national revolution is said to have won, but the warlord armament in various places may not have decreased at all compared to the time of the Beiyang government, right? Among the more than 1.3 million national defense forces, there are only more than 600,000 under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, and more than 700,000 belong to private individuals! If you don't take advantage of the aftermath of the victory of the Northern Expedition to sort it out now, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to clean up in the future! ”

He paused, watched Sun Yat-sen's eyebrows gradually twist up, and knew that the other party was still worried, so he had to sigh: "Sir" Do you think this is good, Lou might as well reorganize the army in phases and batches. The first step is to sort out the new army in the interior and the new Second Army in Zhejiang and Shanghai, which are the foundation of the Fourth and Tenth Beiyang Divisions, and their equipment and training are very good. The commander of the 13th Army can be succeeded by Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Zijia, and the officers of the 13th Army will participate in the rotation training of the Central Military Academy and the Army University in batches."

Then reassign. Lu Zijia continued to serve as the chief of Zhejiang Province, He Fenglin remained as the commander of the Songhu garrison, and Chen Leshan served as the commander of the security of Zhejiang Province.

Secondly, it is possible to sort out the Hubei army of General Lan Jihao, who is now stationed in Henan, and General Lan Jihao was originally a follower of Mr. "It is better to ask him to serve as a member of the Military Commission and deputy minister of the army, and at the same time force Jiang Jishi to take the post of a member of the Military Commission." Following the example of Japan, the army set up the post of director of education, and General Wu Yuxun took the position of ......"

Hearing the member of the Military Commission who wanted to reluctantly remove Jiang J Shi, Sun Yat-sen's brows furrowed, and he interrupted Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru, no matter what J Shi says, he is a hero of the War of Resistance against Russia, and this member of the Military Commission might as well keep it for the time being... Add two more committee members, "one for Lan Jihao and one for Wu Yuxun, how about it?" ”

"Yes, sir." Chang Ruiqing sighed lightly in his heart, he originally wanted to take the opportunity of reorganizing the army to get rid of Jiang Jshi, who had become a warlord, and the members of the Military Commission, but now it seems that he can't pass Sun Yat-sen's pass. However, it is not a loss to let Wu Shi also enter the military committee, and also set up the post of director of education, so that Chang Ruiqing can use Wu Shi to completely control the army officer training system, and it is not a loss.

He paused, and then said: "The next thing to be sorted out is the ............... of the three armies of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Jin, and for these three Lou armies, the idea of the subordinates is to divide and rule!" Among these three armies, "the Sichuan army is the largest, the Jin army is the weakest, and the Yunnan army is the strongest." Therefore, we can transfer the Yunnan army to the northwest, appoint Gu Pinzhen as the commander-in-chief of the northwest frontier, and order him to lead the Yunnan army to deal with the Beiyang remnants in Guanzhong and Hanzhong."

All the way to Gansu to take office. The Dian army will not be reorganized for the time being, so that Gu Pinzhen will not be embarrassed by the central government.

Now that the Jin army has returned to Guizhou to station, as soon as the Yunnan army leaves, they will be surrounded by the central army on all sides, and their strength is weak, so they should not dare to resist the central army. However, Wang Wenhua, the current leader of the Jinjun army, is a figure, and his subordinates have a group of non-commissioned officers and students (that is, He Yingqin, Gu Zhenglun, and Zhu Shaoliang), so don't force him too much. Wang Wenhua can be appointed as the chairman of Guizhou Province and removed from his military post. Then the Jinjun army was reorganized into two divisions directly under the central government, with He Yingqin and Zhu Shaoliang serving as division commanders, and the officers of the Jinjun army also went to the Central Military Academy and the Army University for rotational training, and then the Liu Cunhou division of the Sichuan army, which was originally loyal to Beiyang, was reorganized into a division directly under the central government, with Deng Xihou as the division commander. This division was merged with two divisions reorganized from the Jinjun Army to form the Fourteenth Army. The commander of the 14th Army could be General Dan Nugang of the Sichuan Army, the deputy commander of the Army was Liu Chengxun of the Sichuan Army, and the Chief of Staff also appointed Lai Xinhui of the Sichuan Army. The above three people are all generals of the Xiong Kewu system, and after transferring them out of the Sichuan army, it will be much easier to sort out the affairs of the Sichuan army. As for how to rectify the Sichuan and Sichuan army, Mr. should already have a way, right? ”

Sun Yat-sen nodded and said with a smile: "The Sichuan Army was reorganized into the 15th Army, the commander was appointed by Lu Chao, and the Sichuan Provincial Chair was served by Shi Qingyang, they are all loyal comrades of the Kuomintang and can be trusted." As for Xiong Jinfan, I want him to serve in the Central Committee, so it is better to be the person in charge of the future public opinion organization. ”

Xiong Kewu and Sun Yat-sen have always been at odds, and now Sun Yat-sen naturally won't give him any fat shortage.

This is an internal matter of the Kuomintang, and Chang Ruiqing does not intend to ask about it.

Then he talked about his whole army building: "In addition, there is the Jin army in Shanxi, the Jin army is not many in number, but it is composed of four mixed brigades, and the management and command structure of the troops is also similar to that of the national defense force." As for General Yan Baichuan, he is actually longer than politics and shorter than military strategy. If you can take up a post in the Central Committee, it is very suitable to serve as the chairman of the State Development Planning Commission or as the minister of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, the Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Metallurgy. ”

Sun Yat-sen smiled, this image of Yan Xishan to the world is indeed a profiteer with an abacus around his neck, and Shanxi is indeed well governed by him, which can be regarded as a happy land in troubled times.

However, he is used to being the emperor of Shanxi, and it is difficult to say whether he is willing to serve in the central government.

Chang Ruiqing's construction is still continuing: "As for the Zhensong army in Henan, as well as those Beiyang remnants in China and Hanzhong, it is better to find a way to dispatch (disband) them" If you dare to resist, let Gu Pinzhen's Dian army deal with them. In addition, there was the People's Army of Shaanxi, and the idea was to transfer them to Suiyuan, give them the number of several mixed brigades, and then integrate them into the Northwest Frontier Army. ”

Sun Yat-sen nodded: "In this way, the military orders and government orders in the mainland can be unified...... However, the reorganization of the two border guards in the northeast and northwest cannot be carried out in a hurry, and the situation in all aspects must be taken into account. After all, the situation there is different from that in the interior, and there are not only more complex ethnic formations, but also the infiltration of foreign powers, especially the Japanese ...... The secret negotiations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Japan have been going on for several months, and although Japan itself is willing to support our recovery of our rights and interests from the European and American powers, it has never completely renounced their special rights and interests in our country, "especially their special rights and interests in Northeast China and Mongolia." Even if it was Germany's privileges in Shantung, and the Japanese concessions in Tianjin and Hankow, they would not let go lightly, unless we were willing to conclude a treaty with Japan against Soviet Russia. They also sent Inuyang Yi and Uchida Ryohei to China, and they will be in Beijing tomorrow. Yaoru, how do you think we should deal with the "day"? He spoke with a somewhat gloomy demeanor, as if he was reluctant to choose the ally of "Japan", but he did not dare to openly refuse the other party.

In fact, Sun Yat-sen has always been relatively pro-Japanese in the past, and if it were not for this "Kolchak Golden Incident", he would have proposed to favor the Sino-Japanese alliance at this moment, even if the alliance conditions offered by the Japanese themselves were more harsh. However, the Americans, with their generosity towards White Russia, won the unanimous favor of the Nationalist Government at once! Moreover, in the process of seeking to abolish unequal treaties and accelerate industrialization, "the support that the United States, the world's number one power, can give to China, is far greater than that of Japan!" After all, China and Japan are neighbors, and they will not want to see China really embark on the road of industrialization! In contrast, the Americans certainly do not want China to develop into a power that can compete with it, but in the early days of China's industrialization, the United States can still provide some ...............help, and now the gap between China and the United States is too great! China's industry may be able to catch up with Japan in 10 or 20 years, but if you want to surpass the United States, it will take several generations of efforts to achieve, so the United States is not busy suppressing China now. From this point of view, choosing the United States as a friend is indeed more in line with the interests of China than choosing Japan, not to mention that the Kuomintang members of Sun Yat-sen's faction have always been pro-Americans! It's just that what kind of country Japan is, and the Kuomintang leader who has dealt with Japan himself for so many years is also very clear.

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly: "Sir, my subordinates think that it is not impossible to join Japan to resist Russia, the key is to see if Japan can wait for me equally." The current relationship between China, Japan and Russia is a Three Kingdoms, in which Soviet Russia inherited the family business of Tsarist Russia, which should be Cao Wei: although Japan is strong, most of their military strength is at sea, and warships cannot go ashore, and the place where Japan and Russia may conflict in the future is on land in the Far East, so they should be regarded as Soochow. And we are Xishu...... If Wu Shu can truly ally ally resist Cao Wei, if Eastern Wu always wants to seize Jingzhou, Wu Shu and Shu will only be left with the end of being broken by Cao Wei! ”

After listening to Chang Ruiqing's words, Sun Yat-sen was silent, and finally sighed: "The day itself will not wait for me, because they will not regard themselves as the ...... of Soochow."

Chang Ruiqing pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Sir, in fact, we don't have to be too accommodating. We won't touch their interests in Manmeng for the time being...... A Manchurian-Mongolian special economic zone can be established, with a low tariff and a gold system, and the special rights and interests of the "Japan" in the customs should be recovered as much as possible! In this way, the Sun will not break with us. Compared with the few small concessions in Kannai, their interests in the Far East are related to the rise or fall of the country. It was also impossible for Soviet Russia to abandon the Far East, so the Second Russo-Japanese War was impossible to avoid, so the primary enemy of Japan was still Soviet Russia. ”

In his remarks, he mentioned the issue of recovering the special rights and interests of the great powers in China: "At present, the Nationalist Government is negotiating with the envoys of the great powers, and on the other hand, it has ordered the delegation of the [Chinese] countries at the Paris Peace Conference (which was incorporated by the Nationalist Government) to put forward demands for the resumption of customs rights, the resumption of concessions (excluding the concessions of Hong Kong and Japan in the northeast), and the suspension of the payment of Gengzi indemnity. However, in addition to the United States' complete agreement to these demands, Britain, France, and Japan are not willing to let go, and it seems that the problem cannot be solved without mobilizing some violence!

Sun Yat-sen didn't say anything directly, just nodded with a smile: "If there is anything, just let it go, I will definitely support you." He paused for a moment, and then said, "Yaoru, "Let's arrange these things slowly after we return to Nanjing." At the moment, the most important thing is still those white Russia and gold, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong! ”

Just a few days after Chang Ruiqing and Sun Yat-sen's long talk, the GCD's organ newspaper "New Youth", the Kuomintang organ newspaper "Minbao", and the "Zhongyang Daily" controlled by the Propaganda Department of the Nationalist Government began to publicize the "National Founding Strategy" jointly proposed by Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing. Immediately, newspapers of all sizes in the north and south also carried extensive reports on this incident, and of course public opinion applauded. It is believed that the proposal of the "National Founding Strategy" marks the end of the troubled times of the Republic of China and the beginning of national construction, which is the practice of "leftist peopleism" put forward by Chang Ruiqing. Of course, some newspapers believe that the "Strategy for the Founding of the People" is the result of the fusion of the Three "People" doctrine and the "Left People" doctrine, and Sun Yat-sen's contribution is also quite huge.

However, the leftist "people" research associations in various places did not pay any attention to it, and still took this opportunity to set off a new round of god-making movement. With this series of propaganda to beautify Chang Ruiqing, the somewhat mysterious organization of the Leftist People's Research Association has also begun to emerge on the political stage of China! And what it brings to China is a new political model of personality cult!

At this time, Chang Ruiqing has been stranded in Zhangjiakou, waiting for Kolchak, Belarus, and that precious gold. However, it was not Kolchak who came to Zhangjiakou first, but the mother and daughter of the Zhao family and their more than 2,000 bandit cavalry.

Although this unit looks very unusual, they have indeed made great contributions in this "golden incident"! If they hadn't sabotaged the Trans-Siberian railway line, Semenov would have been held hostage by this time to compete for the throne of the Provisional Government of Belarus.

For these heroes, "Chang Ruiqing, of course, could only take time out of his busy schedule to entertain him personally, and invited Zhao Mama, Zhao Sanmei, and several of their bandit leaders into his military commission in Zhangjiakou.

Chang Ruiqing sat in the middle with a smile and beckoned his attendant to serve tea to everyone. His aunt Zhao Xiang'er was by his side, I don't know why, her pretty face was flushed, and a pair of big eyes swept around her sister and Chang Ruiqing from time to time.

Zhao Sanmei also looked a little weird, and after seeing Chang Ruiqing's appearance, her face was full of a shy smile no matter how she looked at it, and she lowered her head and didn't talk much. It's as if I'm not here to see my boss today, but to go on a blind date! However, our handsome Chang Da has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, chatting with Mama Zhao and Zhao Sanmei with a smile, and asking from time to time about their battles in the Far East. When she heard that Zhao Sanmei took the lead and personally commanded the cavalry to break the attack, she nodded and praised again and again.

As for Mama Zhao, she seems to be a very scheming woman. However, like most mothers in this era, there are some patriarchal thoughts, and they are quite strict.

After a few words of meeting, he began to inquire about his son Zhao Hu. When I heard that my son had finished studying at the Whampoa Military Academy, which was still a short-term training class, and was interning in the army, he couldn't wait to say: "Yaoru, this time the first brigade of cavalry brought back by our mother and daughter has been fighting on Lao Maozi's territory for many months, and has fought with any Mongolian cavalry and Cossack cavalry!" The actual combat experience is incomparably rich, it is better for Huzi to intern or come to our own team, first become a second brigade commander, take over the errand of the third sister, and let him take over the errand of the brigade commander after a while, what do you think? ”

Chang Ruiqing thought to himself: "I just planned to take care of other people's warlord troops, and my brother-in-law is ready to be a warlord again!" Is the warlord profession really so popular these days? ”

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mama Zhao suddenly thought of something, pointed to her third daughter and said to Chang Ruiqing: "Yo, look at my memory, I only think about my son, and forget about my daughter, the third sister has already reached the age when she should get married, and it is not a matter to stay in Lao Zhao's house all the time, but this girl has a high vision, and ordinary men can't stop her." I and Xiang'er, as well as the third sister, have discussed it ourselves, and I am going to let her follow her sister into Changfu together, and the sisters will be of the same heart in the future...... In this way, our Chang Zhao family will be close to each other in the future, and this tiger Ziyao will have to take good care of it" !!
