Chapter 152: Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism
Chapter 152
Mao left, Liu Yuan didn't have to worry about anything, and the next morning he asked the Red Party people to withdraw from Nanchang City in time.
Although the Red Party was very complaining, they were not stupid enough to confront the Tenth Army, so the Red Party's troops had no choice but to withdraw from Nanchang City.
From the Fuhe River to the south, through Ruijin, Pingwu Camel, and then into the Dongjiang region, the next step is to develop the strength of the force, and strive to build Guangdong into a revolutionary base area.
Zhu Peide had two armies in Nanchang City, but because Zhu Peide himself could not personally command at the critical moment, and because of the mixed dark piles in the army, the resistance time was very short, and it was under the joint operation of the Tenth Army and the Red Party uprising troops. There was also confusion within the two armies.
The 10th Army quickly took the old feudal Yamen, the Catholic Church, the new barracks, Baihuazhou and other places, and all the recalcitrant enemy troops were annihilated.
The city hall was then occupied, but in the process the number of enemies killed was not very large, more than 3,000 in total, but a large number of weapons and ammunition were obtained.
In view of the obvious backwardness of the weapons of Zhu Peide's troops, and in consideration of the problem of unification of ammunition, most of the weapons were given to the Red Party.
Facts have proved that the Red Party took advantage of the large number of people and also created a good record, and under the leadership of Zhou Enlai and others, it also won many important locations. The 10th Army completed the encirclement of both armies.
Seeing that they were surrounded by so many troops, and that there was no hope of breaking through, several armies under Gaju Peide were not fully staffed except for the Third Army, and there were only more than 10,000 people in one army, and they were surrounded by so many troops, so they decisively chose to surrender.
Of course, they surrendered to the National Revolutionary Army, not to the Red Party.
The next day, Liu Yuan summoned a large number of leftist delegates who had been rescued from prison and held a special meeting of the Chinese Kuomintang as quickly as possible, at which a decision was reached on the establishment of a provisional government for the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and a special party department was set up to elect more than 20 members, including Song Qingling, Zou Lu, He Xiangning, Liu Yuan, Nie Rongzhen, and Tan Pingshan.
For a time, there were four national governments in China, one was Zhang Zuolin in Beijing, Wang Jingwei in Wuhan, Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, and Liu Yuan in Nanchang.
China fell into the most politically chaotic period for a while, and newspapers all over China changed their views on Liu Yuan, and criticized Liu Yuan one after another, believing that Liu Yuan was a revolutionary traitor, just like Napoleon in those years, and put the revolutionary government of Nanchang under great pressure.
The Nanchang Revolutionary Government, represented by Liu Yuan, continued to denounce the Nanjing government's betrayal of the revolution, saying that the Provisional Government was only to complete Sun Yat-sen's great cause of reunification and eliminate the reactionary snobbery of the Nanjing government, and expressed its proposition that they would work hard to eliminate the warlords.
On the day when the Nanchang Revolutionary Government was announced, Wang Jingwei announced that Zhang Fakui would immediately launch an attack on the Nanchang Government, and at the same time, he also made a wish to the other troops of the Fifth Front Army that had disappeared from his leadership, with only one purpose, that is, to eliminate the Nanchang Revolutionary Government.
And it turned out that Wang Jingwei really underestimated Liu Yuan, and when he was preparing how to solve Liu Yuan's scourge, Song Qingling and He Xiangning had already taken the train to the east. Preparing to work in the Nanchang government, because they already vaguely felt that Wang Jingwei and the Chiang Kai-shek government had a dirty existence, but although Chiang Kai-shek respected Song Qingling on the surface, he did not give Song Qingling any rights due to illness, and Song Qingling was also very disappointed, and it happened that Liu Yuan's Nanchang government showed its welcome to him.
Therefore, under Liu Yuan's arrangement, Song Qingling and a large number of leftists who had lost confidence in Wang Jingwei came to Nanchang together.
At this time, another very slap in the face happened, that is, Zhu Peide's third army, the last army in Jiangxi, did not agree to the request of the envoy sent by Wang Jingwei, but killed Wang Jingwei's envoy.
In their opinion, Wang Jingwei, a civilian government, and Liu Yuan, a force composed of fierce generals in the army, are much worse, and Wang Jingwei will not have any benefits in bribing them.
Moreover, although Zhu Peide's people have disappeared, the Third Army still insists on supporting Zhu Peide, which is the characteristic of warlords, and the generals are only loyal to their own leaders, and will not obey the command of the government.
This army has more than 60,000 people, and it is Zhu Peide's real descendant troops, and there was a record of 8,000 and 20,000 in Wanshou Palace, which severely damaged Sun Chuanfang's troops and created conditions for the encirclement of Sun Chuanfang, which shows that his troops are strong in combat.
As the most powerful military force in Jiangxi Province, Liu Yuan still attaches great importance to it.
He asked Du Yuming to lead the new First Division, the new Third Division, and the Teaching Regiment with a total strength of 33,000 men to launch an attack on the Third Army, preparing to completely destroy Zhu Peide's strength.
And Liu Yuan pulled out and was ready to continue to complete this game of chess, sometimes Liu Yuan himself was also afraid, and failure was shattered, and no one would pity him.
At this time, Xiao Xiucai knocked on the door and walked in, "General, the old fairy said that he wanted to see you, and if possible, he would help you cure your illness." Xiao Xiucai said to Liu Yuan excitedly.
Compared with Xiao Xiucai, Liu Yuan was still relatively calm, just nodded and said, "I really want to meet, this guy who pretends to be a ghost, but I'm very busy now, and Nanchang City has not been completely occupied, I may fail at any time." "It doesn't matter, the old fairy said that as long as you can meet his requirements, he will do his best to help you and help you with what you have to do.
"Help me do what I want to do, what can a Taoist priest do?" Liu Yuan asked rhetorically, when Xiaoxiu approached him, Liu Yuan knew that this day would definitely come, but he didn't expect this day to come so early.
"The old fairy said that he didn't come by himself this time, he also brought a big monk and a poor scholar, if the general is willing, the three of them are willing to meet you together." The little monk did not withdraw from the momentum shot from Liu Yuan's body, this time he did not avoid Liu Yuan's gaze, after all, he represented many things.
Liu Yuan nodded and asked, "The world is in chaos, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism should be hiding in the mountains, what are you doing when you run out." Liu Yuan shook his head and sighed, but at this time he seemed to have agreed to Xiao Xiucai and began to wear a coat, but he did not wear a military uniform, only a regular uniform.
"What's wrong with the chaos in the world, Buddhism pays attention to caring for all living beings, Taoism pays attention to Tianxingjian, gentlemen strive for self-improvement, and Confucianism pays attention to self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world. Why can't we contribute to the peace of the world? Xiao Xiu knew that Liu Yuan was already moved, after all, although the strength accumulated by the three families over the years has weakened a lot with the changes of time, but after all, he has existed for so many years, like a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen. So I highly recommend it to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan originally wanted to go or not, but suddenly remembered that later generations of Confucianism were cut off, Chinese people did not even have faith, and every Chinese lived a miserable life, so he casually asked, "I don't know if there are no saints after Confucianism from Zeng Guofan." Hearing Liu Yuan's words, Xiao Xiucai was stunned at first, and then knew that Liu Yuan was not ignorant of Confucian affairs, and even knew very well that Confucianism had indeed not produced a saint for a long time since Zeng Guofan.
Lamented and said, "The New Culture Movement has dealt a great blow to the three schools, and many young students blindly worship Western culture, but the three schools are not nothing, there are still some foundations, especially Confucianism, there are many classics, and now many Confucians have been cultivated, but they can't act with the hat of Confucianism, such as Liang Shuming in Beijing, and Chen Yinke in Jiujiang, who have high attainments in Confucianism." Liu Yuan nodded and said, "I know both of these people, but only here!" Liu Yuan pointed to his brain and pointed to the sky.
Seeing Liu Yuan's question, Xiao Xiucai suddenly stood in awe, although the guy in front of him is a soldier, but he is also a very influential writer in this era, it is said that his works are very popular among young people, and now he not only knows the highest level of Taoism and Confucianism, all have to sigh, no wonder there is such a great achievement at such a young age, and hurriedly saluted Liu Yuan as a Taoist disciple, and then said, "It turns out that the general is also a great Confucian in the world, Just why don't you see that the general has any doctrines about Confucianism spreading outside? Xiao Xiucai asked suspiciously.
Because Confucianism has reached the point where it has to become, and the situation of Confucianism is not very good now, all I have done is to do the best I can to save our faith.
Liu Yuan's words were very vague, but Xiao Xiucai had already said thoughtfully, "Knowing that you can't do it, you should have thought that you are the successor of Confucianism a long time ago, and the only people who can do such a big picture are only Confucian disciples, I don't know Mr. Lu Dao, oh No, the general's teacher is?" Listening to Xiao Xiucai's words, Liu Yuan's eyes suddenly appeared, "What do you still know," Xiao Xiucai was frightened by Liu Yuan's murderous intention and took a few steps back, and said after a long time, "I said that Confucianism still exists, although it cannot reach the highest level of knowledge of things, but it can understand a lot of things, and the bureau of the general cloth has long been seen through by an old master of Confucianism, but the master is willing to teach and educate people all his life, and he is unwilling to go out." "Can I see this Master?" Liu Yuan asked.
"Yes, there is this old master among the three of us on this trip, but can I know which master General Lu Dao is descended from?" Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Seeing this flower, is it very fragrant." "Of course, this is a lily, you see how warm it is." Xiao Xiucai praised.
"And if I'm not here, does it make sense for him to exist?" Liu Yuan asked rhetorically.
