The conflicts between the federal provinces, the Wuhan government, and the Nanjing government lasted until July when the deadlock was finally resolved. Jiang Xiashi finally reached an agreement after arduous negotiations with the Japanese. During the negotiation process, the Japanese were very insincere, set up various obstacles, and overturned the consensus reached several times. First, we had to negotiate at the Japanese Consulate in Nanjing, but the Japanese consulate was there, which was not equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing government. The Japanese were unwilling to negotiate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so the negotiations were finally held in a temple. The Japanese initially agreed to compensate and apologize, but then reversed, saying that they had also suffered heavy losses and the issue of compensation should be offset. He also delayed and regretted the issue of withdrawing troops from Shandong several times. The diplomatic representatives sent by Jiang Xiashi made several concessions to the Japanese, hoping that Japan would not hinder the Northern Expedition. Representatives in Nanjing did not even dare to negotiate openly for fear that angry people would attack the government. In the end, compensation was fruitless, and troop withdrawal was far away. Only a ceasefire agreement was reached, and Jiang Jieshi had to apologize to Japan. " And Chiang Kai-shek really apologized. After the apology, there was naturally a lot of curses, and then the old boy announced that he would step down and go back to his hometown to work. With the resignation of Chiang Kai-shek, the CCP launched an armed uprising in Nanchang. The Wuhan government admitted that it had "neglected to prevent communism" and announced that CCP members were wanted. Then the Wuhan government announced that it would move the capital to Nanjing, Wang Jingwei arrived in Nanjing in person, and Ninghan officially reunited, which was called the "Ninghan Convergence". "Obviously this was a political deal. Wang Jingwei agreed to rebel, and Jiang Xiashi stepped down and handed power to Wang Jingwei. But Wang Jingwei obviously underestimated Jiang Xiashi and really thought that Jiang Xiashi would hand over power easily. In terms of politics, Sun Yat-sen could not defeat Yuan Shikai and asked Yuan Shikai to go south to take office, but Yuan Shikai refused to agree. When Jiang Jieshi asked Wang Jingwei to go to Nanjing, he went happily. This political wisdom is really embarrassing. It's a shame that Jiang Jieshi didn't arrange anything in Nanjing. But China g is obviously the biggest loser. They have been abandoned by the left and right factions of the Kuomintang. Now the coalition government proposed by Zhao Zeyong seems to be the only one that can accept them. Following Wang Jingwei's rebellion, the troops who launched the uprising in Jiangxi were brutally strangled by Zhu Peide and others, while Taizu organized a peasant association in Hunan. Soon the uprisings failed one after another. And they also had internal divisions. The peasant association headed by Taizu supported the coalition government and hoped to form a new United Central Committee in Wuhan, while the dogmatists, under the instructions of the Soviet Union, demanded complete revolution and violent acceptance of power. Zhao Zeyong did not support the establishment of a new central government in Wuhan, but he also supported Taizu as the leader of the Central Government. After all, the Soviets could not be allowed to control this organization. The differences between Taizu and the Soviet Union caused him to be greatly slandered and not recognized by dogmatists. The idea that he relies on farmers has no future at all. The CPC split into two factions: the workers' faction and the peasants' faction. This division weakened their power and prevented them from developing significantly before World War II. Although the contradictions have not been eliminated, with the resignation of Chiang Kai-shek, the Northern Expeditionary Army temporarily unified its thinking. It became a consensus to continue the Northern Expedition. The Nanjing government bypassed Jinan and continued northward. Feng Yuxiang's troops entered Henan, and Yan Xishan also continued to exchange fire with Feng Jun. The Beiyang regime is gone. And after such a turmoil, 1927 is about to pass. The overall situation of the Northern Expedition has been decided. Zhao Zeyong did not want to participate anymore, but reduced his troops. Only one division of Li Zongren was retained to continue heading north, and together with Feng Yuxiang attacked the Beijing-Tianjin area. The remaining troops began to reorganize in Wuhan and actively prepared to attack Japan. ???In addition to the 300,000 troops in the federal provincial army, there are more than 500,000 troops who have completed recruit training. As long as they are equipped, they will become regular troops when they come out of the recruit camp. In other words, the United Provinces have the potential to form an army of 800,000 people. However, the weapons and equipment have never kept up. In the past year, after emergency production, only 300,000 rifles and other weapons and equipment have been saved. In addition to replacing the weapons lost and damaged in the war, they have also assembled at most 200,000 rifles and other weapons and equipment. troops, bringing the federal provincial army to half a million. "However, Zhao Zeyong did not intend to actually form 500,000 troops. Instead, he accepted Hu Wan's suggestion and completed the final step of regularizing the army. With a large number of new officers trained in the war against the British as the core, a large number of veterans have retired. All ordinary veterans who have served for more than five years and have not become officers are mobilized to retire. Those whose families have good conditions, land or industry, are willing to Those who went home were allowed to go home, and those who had no livelihood were all given jobs, either in factories or in government departments. After such a discharge, all the uneducated soldiers in the Union Army were discharged. This group of veterans was replaced by 100,000 new recruits who had entered the army, so that all the soldiers in the federal provincial army were completely replaced.After formal training, and more importantly, the feudal army relationship no longer exists, and there is no need for so-called soldiers trained by officers themselves. The relationship between the army and the army is completely modernized. For officers, all officers who have been in the military for more than ten years and have not received military school education will be retired. Those who are willing to go home can receive a large amount of compensation. Those who are unwilling to go home can be assigned positions in the government, such as joining the police force or being assigned to work in factories. As officers, they still have good commanding abilities. There is no problem with the team leader. After a series of adjustments to officers, there are basically no officers in the federal provincial army who have received formal military school education, and there are basically no officers who have been promoted solely by fighting. Regularization of federal provincial officers was also completed. At the same time, a large number of officers who have some but not high educational level and have undergone short-term training at the Army University and have a certain theoretical foundation but little room for improvement have been recruited into the new barracks. They received a period of unified training in the training camp and were then sent to recruit camps in various parts of the province, including Nanning Recruit Camp in Guangxi, Guilin Recruit Camp, Guiyang Recruit Camp in Guizhou, Chengdu Recruit Camp in Sichuan, and the newly established Dali Recruit Camp in Yunnan. Camp, Hunan Changsha New Barracks, Wuhan New Barracks and Chongqing New Barracks. After obtaining this large number of officers, the recruit training system can be considered formal. After this reorganization, in the federal provincial army, senior officers such as Tang Yuzong and other recently promoted officers, and mid-level officers such as Yan Bai and Liu Zhishu all have a background in the new military camp and have studied at the Army University. Whether it is military skills or Military theories are very systematic, and their room for growth is naturally greater. It will not be difficult for a large number of independent generals to emerge in the future. After this reorganization, Zhao Zeyong also felt that he was ready to deal with the Japanese and could go to war with the Japanese at any time. However, Zhao Zeyong suddenly felt that it was time to dispatch the navy against Japan. (To be continued
