Unlike the rulers of later generations who used to play a big game of chess to cover up their incompetence, Wang Zhenyu is now playing a big game of chess, although he is a character who is very bad at chess and does not know anything about Go.

However, this did not prevent Wang Zhenyu from playing good chess on the big chessboard of China, and the first good move was in Tibet. In the sixth year of the Republic of China, on September 12, 1917, when the whole country was looking to Xuzhou. In Lhasa, something is happening that will forever go down in history.

Liu Xiang, a ragtag army general born in a landlord's family, ushered in the most glorious moment of his life on this day. Many years later, Liu Xiang, who had quit the military and became a businessman, still did not forget to boast after dinner: "Lao Tzu was the most proud in his life, that is, he drove into Lhasa with our Sichuan army, ** Lama not only did not dare to fart, but also had to offer Hada ...... to Lao Tzu in a proper manner."

On this day, the "rebel army" under the command of Liu Xiang marched into Lhasa, but unlike Qamdo, there was no exchange of fire between the two sides. After obtaining Liu Xiang's three no-promises of "no arson, no looting, and no reform", the Tibetan nobles did not care about the meaning of the Buddha, and directly ordered the terrified Tibetan warriors under their command who had been beaten by the Sichuan army to withdraw their troops from Lhasa.

According to Wang Zhenyu's intentions, Liu Xiang ordered all the sons of aristocratic families who were under the age of 18 to go to Wuhan Army University to study, and they were not allowed to return to Tibet without graduation. That's probably what proton means. This rule has also been established as a system and has been strictly enforced.

And Suo Guanying also returned to a rich reward, although Kalun of Kashag did not have his turn, but a Qamdo governor was enough to make him happy for a while.

Negotiations with the 13th ** are naturally not our General Liu's business, his army after the conquest of Tibet is facing the problem of reorganization, this 20,000 troops will be officially renamed the Tibetan Frontier Army, according to Wang Zhenyu's meaning, the Tibetans also have to undertake the task of military service, and it is mixed with the Han army, the number is about 10,000 people, and the officers of the Tibetan Border Guards are also distributed according to this ratio.

And the negotiation with the thirteenth ** was in charge of Chen Shao, the special commissioner for the Tibet issue sent by Wang Zhenyu, and Chen Shao did not make a move on weekdays, but when he made a move, it was very extraordinary.

"From now on, Tibet is an inalienable territory of the Republic of China. Tibetans are also regarded as a part of the Chinese nation, and both sinicization and Tibetanization are protected by the laws of the Republic of China. Recognition of all the privileges of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the existing political status of living Buddhas such as the Panchen Lama. The Kashag local government of Tibet was abolished, and the entire Tibet region was governed by five provinces: Inner Tibet (with Lhasa as the capital), Outer Tibet (with Qamdo as the capital), Later Tibet (with Shigatse as the capital), Former Tibet (with Malkang as the capital), and Qinghai-Tibet (with Xining as the capital). Other issues will be resolved through further consultations in the future. ”

This is in effect dividing the power of the whole of Tibet into five,** although he is still the nominal ruler of Tibet, but the actual appeal is greatly reduced. Moreover, as soon as Chen Shao's plan was proposed, it immediately won the support and recognition of the living Buddhas, including the Panchen Lama, Rezhen, etc. Because according to this division, although the power of ** has been weakened, they have benefited from the local living Buddhas and the aristocratic power behind them, at least they no longer have to be held by Lhasa to take the power of life and death, and they feel free.

Chen Shao's strategy of dividing the Five Tibets proved to be very effective and enabled Tibetan Buddhism to play a more active role in the subsequent Mongol issue. Even in the subsequent political struggle, Chen Shao was arrested and imprisoned, and this policy was continued until the establishment of the Chinese Federation.

After the founding of the Chinese Federation, the federal government and the federal parliament made a series of adjustments to the ethnic policies of Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang, the most thorough of which was the separation of church and state and the abolition of serfdom. However, unlike the abolition of serfdom by force in later generations, on the issue of serfdom in Tibet, the federal government adopted the Russian method, adopted the method of redemption to cancel it, and passed legislation to strictly prohibit the sale of one's body into slavery to implement it, which was relatively more relaxed and had fewer sequelae. As for Tibetan Buddhism, the federal government has declared that all religions except Muslims and cults with similar views are free of religion, and that there are no restrictions on the management of monks and the like, and that political and economic privileges are no longer granted. As a result, Shaolin Temple eventually became the largest temple in the world, and it was far away......

Liu Xiang was undoubtedly lucky, and he succeeded. Yang Sen, who had 40,000 Sichuan troops in his hands, was now almost like an ant on a hot pot, and his army was unable to take Hanzhong for a long time, which had caused serious dissatisfaction and high concern in Wuhan. Feeding mosquitoes in the ravine for more than three months is not a big deal, what really worries Yang Sen is that if there is no progress, his "rebel army" will really be wiped out by the big man in Wuhan as a rebel. Fortunately, although the bastards under his command did not fight well, the logistics and material supply of Sichuan did not miss a point, which made Yang Sen very embarrassed.

In fact, Yang Sen can't be blamed entirely, first, the terrain of Hanzhong has been notoriously difficult to get to the sky since ancient times, and Liu Bang VS Xiang Yu was the Ming Xiu plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang to successfully escape from the sky. Second, it was none other than Chen Shufan who sent him to stop Yang Sen in Hanzhong, it was the famous Yang Hucheng in history, this old man's subordinates were a large group of swordsmen in Shaanxi, and his combat effectiveness was really not covered. Anyway, there was a tug-of-war with Yang Sen in this Hanzhong, and Yang Sen couldn't do anything about this person for a while, and angrily called him kraft candy, which was too sticky.

However, the Shaanxi army is not monolithic, after Chen Shufan became the governor of Shaanxi, he actively supported his personal strength and struck at the strength of the revolution, he promoted his classmates and fellow villagers Liu Shilong, Zeng Jixian, Zhang Baolin, Zhang Feisheng, Zhang Danping, etc., to regiment commanders and brigade commanders, while Hu Jingyi, a Kuomintang figure who made great contributions to Yuan Zhulu, was only appointed as the regiment commander, Gao Jun was the deputy regiment commander, and Cao Shiying's department was not even included in the regular army.

This gave Jing Bemu and others a very good opportunity, to be precise, an opportunity to rebel. First of all, Jing Yuexiu, the tenth brother who guarded Jing Bemu, secretly fell to the Nationalist Government, and secondly, Hu Jingyi and others secretly conspired to reverse Chen.

However, these manpower are slightly insufficient, Chen Shufan took Chen Shufa, Yan Feilong, and Wang Feihu to nest in Xi'an, and everyone couldn't do anything about him for a while, and the situation in Shaanxi was so half-deadlocked. Until September 3, in the direction of Henan, Wu Peifu commanded the three divisions of the third, sixth, and eleventh divisions with a total of 60,000 horses, and after receiving supplies from Wuhan, he unceremoniously waved his division westward.

Don't look at Wu Peifu, a tiger, who has little to do with Zhang Zongchang, who is supported by the Japanese **, but if you deal with the Shaanxi army, the local troops in Longshang Eight Towns are not a matter of being captured. At this time, Hu Jingyi, who was guarding Tongguan, announced his defection and directly opened the gate on September 5, letting Wu Peifu's 60,000 troops in. Subsequently, Jing Yuexiu and other local generals announced their opposition to Chen. At this moment, the war situation in Shaanxi, which had been silent for three months, was completely overturned almost overnight, and Chen Shufan, who was sitting in Xi'an, really felt what it meant to be a catastrophe and the end was coming.

But Chen Shufan only had 60,000 Shaanxi troops in his hands, and he didn't dare to throw away the tall city wall of Xi'an to meet Wu Peifu, and sent a telegram to complain to the central government. Chen Shufan gritted his teeth and ruthlessly invited two foreign aids, the first was Liu Zhenhua of the Zhensong Army, but this kid has only 20,000 troops, and he is currently playing soy sauce in the Hanzhong area. The second one is naturally the eight towns of Longshang, Chen Shufan told these eight military masters very clearly, don't toss there, the Northwest brothers are a family, if I, Chen Shufan, can't eat in Xi'an, Yushuai's army will soon come to greet you.

Before the eight towns of Longshang could figure it out, on September 10, the vanguard of Wu Peifu's army arrived in Xi'an, and Chen Shufan did not dare to go out of the city to engage in the battle. On the 12th, Wu Peifu began a full-scale siege of the city, although there was no artillery attack, but the people in Xi'an were panicked.

Chen Shufan can be said to be extremely aggrieved, he didn't dare to fight, he didn't have confidence to defend, there were thieves everywhere, and foreign aid did not arrive. He suddenly sighed and said, "How did I, Chen Shufan, get to this step." ”

On September 18, under the persuasion of Jing Bemu to enter the city, Chen Shufan finally agreed to surrender in Kaecheng after consulting with his senior generals, which was also a precedent, and the Shaanxi army almost did not fire a single shot, allowing Wu Peifu to take the entire territory of Shaanxi.

Jing Bemu was appointed governor of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, Hu Jingyi was appointed commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, Chen Shufan was transferred to Nanjing, and Jing Yuexiu, Yang Hucheng, Gao Jun, and Cao Shiying were retained as division commanders, chief of staff, and two infantry brigade commanders of the 22nd Division of the Youth Army. The 22nd Division was also the first division to carry out the reform of the establishment of the 1st Division, 2nd Brigade and 4th Regiment.

And Wu Peifu did have the idea of occupying Shaanxi and seeking the Central Plains again, but now is not the Warring States Period after all, although he occupies the homeland of Sanqin, but if there is no logistics and no weapons, what is the use of occupying here? Wu Peifu finally persuaded himself to dispel this idea.

On September 20, Wu Peifu accepted the appointment of Wuhan and served as the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army, under the jurisdiction of five frontier divisions, Wu Peifu (concurrently), Feng Yuxiang, Yang Sen, Sun Chuanfang, and Li Chun were respectively appointed as division commanders, plus the incorporated Shaanxi Army, a total of 150,000 troops, and the mighty only attacked Gansu
