Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The reason why Zhao Zeyong did not keep staring at the elders was not because he looked down upon the elders, but because in his position, it was not just the elders who were staring at him. The elders just jumped out, and those who did not jumped out.  A lot of them came out.  Jiang Xiashi is definitely staring at him like a poisonous snake, and Wang Jingwei, like a resentful woman, must be calculating his chances of coming back to power. Even if Zhao Zeyong falls, he will still have to compete with Jiang Xiashi.  ¡°But what really attracts Zhao Zeyong¡¯s attention is actually those powerful factions. The elders are not to be feared, but these people are to be feared.  Needless to say, Jiang Xiashi, although he is in Japan, still firmly controls the Huangpu Clique, and his Huangpu Clique also has the most tense relationship with Zhao Zeyong.  Especially now that Jiang Xiashi is away, the leader of the Huangpu clique is He Yingqin, and He Yingqin is even more at odds with Zhao Zeyong.  He Yingqin first worked in Jiang Zishi's Huangpu Military Academy and helped Jiang Zishi create the Huangpu Clan. During the Northern Expedition, he led the first army alone and unexpectedly entered Jiangnan directly from Fujian, allowing the Huangpu Clan to  The Core First Army developed rapidly. It can be said that He Yingqin played an indispensable role in the formation of the Huangpu Clique.  But He Yingqin himself had a very bad impression of the United Provinces, because He Yingqin was originally a subordinate of the Guizhou warlord Yuan Zuming. The United Provincial Army entered Guizhou, Yuan Zuming fell, and Liu Xianshi came to power, so He Yingqin went to Guangzhou to join the revolution.  Because of the invasion of the United Provinces, He Yingqin fled from Guizhou to Guangzhou in embarrassment.  So anyone can be replaced, but it is impossible for him to cooperate with the federal province.  And Zhao Zeyong does not believe in the Huangpu clique. These people cling to military power.  Even if he doesn't give them military pay, he still holds on.  Soldiers deserted without pay.  Then they used severe military laws to sanction and suppress them, but they were unwilling to even disband some troops that had no combat effectiveness.  Zhao Zeyong couldn't bear it, and at the same time he admired it. Only the direct line of the Central Army could have such discipline. Other miscellaneous troops collapsed long ago without pay, or they were looking for backers.  The reason why Jiangxi was quickly occupied by the federal provinces.  It is also related to such troops.  The Huangpu family is a formidable opponent.  Feng Yuxiang should not be underestimated.  Feng Yuxiang still has a good way of training soldiers. His soldiers are specially selected from the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong and Henan. There are many generous and tragic people in Yanzhaogu, and their physical fitness is better than that in the south, and their personalities are more simple and unpretentious. Compared with  Being obedient is easier to control.  After the soldiers enlisted in the army.  Each person was taught two hundred words to read, so that he could understand and understand the superficial orders or instructions given by Feng and achieve practical results.  In addition, Feng Yuxiang pays special attention to skill training, such as shooting, machete, wooden horse, iron bar and other operations.  Feng Yuxiang also paid great attention to getting closer to the soldiers.  He usually wears a soldier's uniform and never does anything special when eating soldier's meals. He often patrols the camp at night and insists on being an officer and soldier.  This method is not uncommon. It is a method commonly used by ancient generals. It is euphemistically called loving soldiers as sons.  But this is what the honest men in the north do.  It was obviously just for show, and they were just willing to be moved to pieces.  The result is.  The Northwest Army is the poorest among the Chinese army, but the soldiers are willing to work for Feng Yuxiang's charge even if they cannot get military pay or even go hungry.  It can be said that they are poor and strong, and their fighting will is very tenacious. They can wield a broadsword to attack enemies armed to the teeth. Even Zhao Zeyong cannot ignore this. Such a unit may not be able to conquer the positions of the United Provincial Army from the front, but it will definitely be possible in close combat in the field.  It caused huge casualties to the Federal Provincial Army.  "And this unit is extremely loyal, especially the old unit. Even when they were surrounded, Feng Yuxiang ran abroad, but they still persisted. If they couldn't persist any longer, they would break out of the encirclement and run to the poor places in the northwest to wait.  As a result, as soon as Feng Yuxiang came back, the Northwest Army gathered in response as soon as the banner was raised, and soon they were all-powerful again.  According to its nature, this is the last and purest feudal army in China, loyal only to individuals.  In addition to Feng Yuxiang, there is also Yan Xishan. The Shanxi-Sui Army is far inferior to the Northwest Army in terms of fighting will, and cannot catch up with the Central Army in terms of military discipline. However, Yan Xishan himself is very good. The roly-poly who has ruled Shanxi for decades must not be underestimated.  watch.  During the separatist regime, Yan Xishan not only relied on political means to move between the Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party, and danced on the swords of the Zhili, Anhui, and Feng cliques, he also had excellent governance capabilities.  Shanxi asked him to build it into the most powerful industrial region in China except Northeast China.  Shanxi is a province with a good education system of universities, middle schools and primary schools, an industrial and agricultural foundation, a provincial railway network, and Shanxi's traditional business strength. These are the foundation of Yan Xishan.  So his army is not good, but his weapons are good. Taiyuan Arsenal is one of the five major arsenals in China, along with Yunnan Arsenal, Gongxian Arsenal, Northeast Arsenal and Hanyang Arsenal. From this point of view, he is stronger than those revolutionary parties in the south.  too much.  It is precisely by relying on these and the favorable terrain of Shanxi's internal and external rivers and mountains that Yan Xishan was able to segregate one area.?.  There is also the Northeast Army. It is true that Zhang Zuolin is an old beard. In terms of old learning, he cannot compare with Wu Peifu and Wu Xiucai. In terms of new learning, he cannot keep up with the revolutionary party in the south. But there is one advantage. He is very self-aware and knows that he is not good. He knows how to find  People who do it.  He entrusted Wang Yongjiang with full authority to govern the Northeast. He knew people well and used them with confidence. He did not hesitate to draw swords against his old brother Tang Yulin for this civil servant.  As a result, the Northeast was dominated by Zhang Huzi. It has the densest railway network in the country except Yunnan, the strongest industrial strength, the largest export trade volume, the largest arsenal, and the largest air force. It also purchased tanks and pulled up  The navy.  Therefore, even though the Northeast Army was unable to fight, and defeated Wu Peifu every time, it couldn't bear it. He had a strong foundation, could withstand the fight, and could stand up after being defeated. Therefore, the last great warlord in Beiyang was not Wu Peifu, but the Northeast Army.  To put it bluntly, none of the great warlords who have survived to this day in the melee of warlords are easy to deal with, and no one has two skills.  If Zhao Zeyong hadn't opened the back door, it would be difficult to say that he would be able to fight these guys.  But for these warlords, Zhao Zeyong is not too worried. If the elders want to win over, let them win over. If they promise easily.  If you can convince these people with empty words, then these people are not worth mentioning.  Zhao Zeyong understood.  It is impossible for these people to be persuaded by anyone, not the elders, not even Zhao Zeyong, because these people must also be waiting and watching, but their vision is higher. What they are waiting to watch is not the conflict between Zhao Zeyong and the old forces of the elders.  Fighting, but waiting to see the battle between the United Provinces and Japan, that is the decisive one.  Japan won.  Don't mention anything. They don't need to win over the elders. They will rise up. Instead of supporting the elders to continue to be in power, it is time to seek power for themselves. Who doesn't want to be the number one person in China?  reached the highest peak.  No matter good or bad, they will all be remembered in history. Didn't a famous ancient person say that if you can't be famous for a hundred years, you must be infamous for thousands of years? Only if you can leave your own traces in history and leave a mark can you live up to being a good man for the rest of your life.  And if the United Provinces win, nothing will matter.  Seize the opportunity to hug your thighs. Since there is no possibility of becoming emperor, simply seize the time to follow the dragon. The person with the yellow robe is not worthy of it, and you must be the first person to send the yellow robe.  Of course if it works well.  It is not impossible to be a vassal king of a certain place in Yongzhen, although it is impossible to be hereditary and replace oneself.  But in this life, it would not be bad to be able to sit on one side and be a local emperor for the rest of my life.  Of course, the thoughts of the warlords are very complicated. As Chinese, they themselves do not dare to fight with the foreign powers, but they also hope that the United Provinces who dare to fight can win. However, as warlords and powerful figures, they do not want to see the United Provinces because of a  Victory after victory and power swelled.  But if placed in a neutral position, Zhang Xueliang does not think that Zhao Zeyong can defeat Japan. Northeast China is close to Japan, and he knows the strength of Japan best. The kind of morale of the people and the kind of militarism, Zhang Xueliang believes that it is invincible.  It is indeed shocking that the United Provincial Army defeated Britain and Italy. However, compared with Japan, these two countries have natural flaws, that is, geography. After all, the two countries are too far away from China, but Japan is different. It is close at hand. Britain  It would be difficult to send an army of 100,000 troops. Italy would be unable to sustain itself with only 40,000 to 50,000 troops, but Japan would probably have no big problem sending a million troops.  Therefore, Zhang Xueliang did not believe that China could defeat Japan. This was why he later dared to actively provoke the Soviet Union, but when the Japanese came, he did not dare to resist.  Feng Yuxiang's view was different. What Zhang Xueliang saw was militarism armed with Japan's Bushido spirit, but the Northwest Army's combat style was also very tenacious. Feng Yuxiang didn't care much about this, but Feng Yuxiang also felt that the United  It may not be easy for the province to defeat Japan. First of all, Japan is an empire, and the United Provinces are just a separatist force. There are natural advantages between a country and a separatist force. One country is united, and the other has to worry about other forces.  Embezzlement, thus worrying.  In this level of struggle, this small difference may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.  Yan Xishan stared at his little eyes and was calculating accounts, and his calculations were more detailed.  He has been to Japan and knows that the Japanese are very powerful. He has not been to the United Provinces, but he also knows that the United Provinces are very powerful.  He believed that the United Provinces had a chance to defeat Japan, and Japan also had a chance to defeat the United Provinces.  However, Yan Xishan was not optimistic about the United Provinces. He believed that Japan could afford to lose, but the United Provinces could not afford to lose.  Once Japan is defeated, it is incredible that it will come back after a few years of recovery. But once the United Provinces are defeated, their status in the country and the territory they occupy will have to be handed over.  The United Provinces are so huge that once they are eaten by others, they will probably become the second United Provinces.  Suddenly, Yan Xishan, who was still lucky that he was not next to the United Provinces, felt that being on the border with the United Provinces was his advantage.  "The most powerful Huangpu faction is holding back a wave of anger.Fortunately, Zhao Zeyong became the president, and their lives were really sad. However, facing the battle between Zhao Zeyong and the Japanese, their feelings were the most complicated.  There is a personal feud with Zhao Zeyong, and a national hatred with the Japanese.  The Huangpu Clique is a revolutionary army. The reason why they were able to fight all the way to Nanjing with unstoppable strength is because of their firm revolutionary beliefs and their desire to serve the country with strength. Otherwise, with their shabby equipment and hard life, why would they?  victory.  But it's different now. When they were fighting for the country, they were really simple. They only thought about the Northern Expedition and defeated the imperialist lackeys, the Beiyang warlords. However, after the victory, they found out that things were not that simple when they had to take over the country.  Success doesn't mean you win the battle. It turns out there are still so many tricks up your sleeve.  As a result, the revolutionary fervor in my heart was replaced by the heroism of civil struggle. There was no longer any passion for ambition, only the ambition for power.  To be fair, the Huangpu faction hopes that Zhao Zeyong will win, but they also hope that Zhao Zeyong can fight the Japanese to the death of both sides, and then they can take advantage of the situation to completely wipe out the United Provinces, and then use the power of half the country to unify the country. This is their ultimate goal.  hopefully.  ???????????????????????So the United Provincial Army looks good, but in fact it is extremely dangerous at this time. Once it fails, various forces will immediately pounce on it, leaving no bones left.  Therefore, in the war against Japan, we can only win but not lose.  The opponents, the Japanese, didn¡¯t take it seriously at this time.  But at the same time, he carefully watched the actions of the province.  Their emotions are also very complex.  They are unwilling to admit or show that they place a high priority on the United Provinces and attach great importance to it.  But they could not forget the fact that the Union Provincial Army had wiped out 100,000 British troops.  This forced the Japanese to make a new judgment on the Allied Provincial Army and concluded that 100,000 Japanese troops were unable to fight the Allied Provincial Army, so they exercised restraint against the Allied Provincial Army in Beijing.  But now we are faced with a choice.  The Japanese began to take chances.  On the one hand, they also want to see the Japanese army fight the Chinese army again, and then defeat the Chinese army, and the imperial army will once again become famous all over the world.  On the other hand, they themselves are unwilling to admit that they are actually worried about failure. They are worried about losing to the Chinese army, which is very unacceptable.  After always showing off that the Japanese army is invincible, every Japanese has quietly considered what would happen if Japan failed?  Unlike the UK, Japan cannot afford to lose.  The British lost, and no one doubted the strength of the British, the world's most powerful country, the empire on which the sun never sets, so they could face defeat peacefully.  But as for Japan, Japan is basically a country founded by force and stands among the great powers with the image of a military country.  The country is small and the people are poor. Once it fails, will countries around the world begin to suspect that Japan is the work of a powerful foreign country, and will they invade Japan again?  Crisis awareness has always been a characteristic of this island nation.  In fact, to a certain extent, Japan also believes that it cannot afford to lose.  The closer the time approaches to the bottom line for Japan¡¯s withdrawal set by the Nationalist Government under the control of Zhao Zeyong, the more tense the atmosphere becomes. Major Japanese newspapers are also reporting intensively on the military trends of China and Japan.  Japan increased its troops in Shandong and stationed a main division in Qingdao.  The Chinese army has yet to show signs of mobilization, and the Allied Provincial Army is still stationed along the Yangtze River and in coastal areas.  Everything seems calm, but the economic exchanges and trade between the United Provinces and Japan are becoming more and more frequent.  (To be continued.
