Chapter 127 Inspiration

"General Zhang, you can see that after Li raised an army in southern Jiangsu, there were uprising responses in various places. These uprising troops may be like Wuchang's rebel army, which belongs to the force of justice, but there are also people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain personal interests and establish their own local forces. Li did not allow China to have any local emperors anymore, so I have been trying my best to suppress the independent separatist forces of various local forces. Everywhere I go, I ask all the rebel troops to unite under my banner. If they do not agree, Li had to use military means to suppress them to submit."

"To be honest, if your Wuchang Rebel Army exists independently as a local armed force for a long time, it is equivalent to establishing a country independent of China in Hubei, which is an act of splitting China. My current mission is to overthrow the Qing government and Yuan Shikai's regime. When one day I pacify the north, we will face the problem of unification sooner or later. Since we will be unified sooner or later, why not unite now and use a united force to advance the process of **, will the ** progress more smoothly?"

"There is another question, that is, General Zhang will definitely ask, why is Zhenguo Army not annexed by the Minjun, but the Minjun was annexed by the Zhenguo Army? This question is actually not difficult to answer. Li believes so. Since everyone wants to unify, why care about whether it is called the Minjun or the Zhenguo Army? When we succeed and establish the New China, our army can be renamed another name. Therefore, the Minjun and Zhenguo Army were actually merged together, not the Zhenguo Army annexed the Minjun. Regarding the issue of leadership, General Zhang also asked, why is the Supreme Commander of the Minjun serving as the Supreme Commander of the Army after the joint operation?

?In fact, this is also easy to answer. If a general thinks that he can lead the reinvigorating army more than Li, Li can hand over the leadership to him, but this will create a new problem. Li will also doubt whether this person who gained the leadership of the army is a loyal member. If I hand over the power to him, will he try his best to carry it to the end? Perhaps I just handed over the power to a villain who, like Yuan Shikai, disregarded the interests of the country and the nation for personal interests, wouldn’t Li make another huge mistake? This is contrary to my ideal of fighting for the country and the people."

"So the policy formulated by Li in the early days was an absolute concentration of leadership. We must never give power to others easily, because I cannot guarantee that this person, like me, has a common ideal and the determination and will to carry out the power to the end at all costs. This is the fundamental reason why Li has always held power tightly in his palm. One day, the whole country is liberated and the society has advanced to a level that can accommodate people's democratic politics. Li will naturally hand over the power. At that time, this power is not handed over to one person to take over, but to the whole people, and the 400 million people will control this supreme power." Li Tiancheng continued to speak generously and explained his thoughts to Zhang Zhenwu.

"I will reiterate that the purpose of doing this is for the welfare of 400 million people, not just for personal interests. If one day the corrupt feudal autocratic government is overthrown, the people are truly in charge of their own country, the country is prosperous and developed, the army of the great powers is obediently withdrawn from China, and some rights such as China's tariff autonomy and right to road have been taken back. China has the status of a corresponding power in the world, and I will choose to give up the power in my hands at the right time. It is not for a successor, but for the people, for the country and nation. I think it is worth it." Li Tiancheng said with a little excitement.

"So brothers Zhenwu, you must also learn to give up. Give up for the sake of the country and nation, give up your personal lofty status in the civilian army, and make the whole people happy and peaceful life, and the country and nation prosperous and strong. I hope General Zhang can understand and experience these principles."

"I really listen to you today, which is better than reading for ten years. Mr. Li's insights are far more than me. Zhang had only thought about the interests of the civilian army before, but he forgot about the national justice for a while. He was so stupid. Now, inspired by Mr. Mr. Li's words, he suddenly realized it." Zhang Zhenwu nodded repeatedly when he heard Li Tiancheng's words, and finally sighed with shame.

"Mr. Li was able to become the leader of the country to overthrow the Qing armed forces at a young age. Today, it seems that it is not a lucky draw, but Mr. Li has unique wisdom and insights, and has the lofty ideal of fighting for the people and the country. This is exactly what most people in power in the country do not have. I believe that the person who can take on the leader of the ** Army is Mr., and there is no other person more suitable to take on this responsibility." After hearing Li Tiancheng's words, Zhang Zhenwu suddenly realized and realized a lot of things. He thought that the ** leadership must not fall into the hands of ordinary people. Without the ambitions, dedication, hard work, and patriotism and the people, he could not take on such a heavy responsibility.

"Zhang 100 Zhang is willing to join the Zhenguo Army. In the future, whether you are an ordinary soldier or a general, you will be scattered and do your best to achieve Mr. Li's ideal." Zhang Zhenwu was a little excited, his face turned slightly red, and then he stood up and said to Li Tianchengyi righteously.

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhenwu understands that it's good that he's here." Seeing Zhang Zhenwu sincerely say what he's going to surrender to him, Li Tiancheng immediately smiled and said happily in his heart.

"How can I let you be an ordinary soldier with a talent like General Zhang? I have already decided on a position for you. Is it willing to do it?" Li Tiancheng then stood up, held Zhang Zhenwu's hand tightly, and said with a little excitement.

"As long as it is a position arranged by Mr. Li, Zhenwu will take office immediately without saying a word and will never be picky." Zhang Zhenwu then smiled.

"I have more places to manage now. I need a stable rear so that I can feel at ease to lead the troops to continue to fight reactionary forces until I unify China and establish a new China. So I want to set up a security force and appoint you to be the commander-in-chief of this security force. The headquarters is in Shanghai. You can go to Shanghai immediately to organize and carry out the preparations of the security force and other tasks." Li Tiancheng let go of Zhang Zhenwu's passionate hand and said seriously immediately.

"It was Zhang Zhenwu who received the order." Zhang Zhenwu immediately gave a standard and powerful military salute and responded with great force.

The security force established by Li Tiancheng is actually equivalent to the armed police force in later generations. Their responsibilities are to be responsible for internal security and maintain local public security. Although they belong to the military category, they do not participate in the combat tasks of regular troops.

"After the establishment of the Security Command, you will immediately start conscription work in various provinces. This security force does not need to be too large. Each province can be about 3,000 people. You are responsible for maintaining local public order in peacetime, and can act as a reserve force in wartime, and you can go to the battlefield at any time. You must be careful in daily training. Although you are responsible for local guards, you must also maintain the fine style of the regular army and not be slackening. When the people need you, you can immediately change your identities and become a force that can fight tough battles." He then warned Zhang Zhenwu.

"yes"

After doing Zhang Zhenwu's ideological work, Li Tiancheng felt much more relaxed. He did not directly participate in political and ideological work in his later years. Unexpectedly, he performed well today, and Li Tiancheng also became a little sure of his ability in this area.

Li Tiancheng had only been in Wuchang for two or three days, and the domestic situation had new changes, and newspapers from all over the country reported it in time.

"An uprising occurred in Shanxi, Yan Xishan declared independence, and Yan Xishan appointed himself as the governor of Shanxi Province, declared autonomy and did not belong to any local forces."

"Yunnan Uprising, Cai E declared Independence"

In the following three days, two provinces were independent one after another. First, Yan Xishan raised an army in Shanxi to overthrow the governor's rule and declared Shanxi independence. However, the subsequent Declaration of Independence neither made Shanxi an independent country nor surrendered to any domestic forces, making Yan Xishan immediately a local emperor.

After Cai E of Yunnan announced his independence, he also maintained a local autonomy attitude, not preparing to move closer to the Zhenguo Army, nor did he temporarily not connect with Sun Yat-sen and others. The momentum of a split-shattered situation in the country gradually emerged, which Li Tiancheng did not want to see, and it was also a problem that he would make great efforts to solve next.

At this moment, two provinces declared independence before the Jinguo Army arrived. Li Tiancheng had begun to think about how to achieve unity in the future. Whether it could achieve political consultation and unification as in history, rather than relying on force, is not certain. The successive independence of these two provinces has laid some uncertainties for the further development of the situation. Perhaps other provinces will follow their example and have an independent local armed force. If the warlord separatist situation after Yuan Shikai's death in history is formed, the situation will move in a more complex direction.

Sichuan's road protection movement was an important fuse for the 1911 in history, but because Hubei's new army had long been led by Manchu general Duan Fang to quell the rebellion, Sichuan became the last independent province in history. In history, Sichuan's independence was on the 48th day after the Wuchang Uprising. At that time, all southern provinces, plus Shanxi in the north, Shaanxi had declared independence.

At this time, Duanfang's army was still fighting with the local people and the rebel army in Sichuan. The Sichuan rebel army named the Comrade Army, which was of course not the so-called "comrades" of later generations. The main battlefield of both sides was near Chengdu. Duanfang controlled the provincial capital Chengdu, and the battle was still unsustainable. The attack organized by the Comrade Army was repeatedly repelled by Duanfang, and the Comrade Army was repeatedly defeated in Rongxian and other places. The situation in Sichuan was much more difficult than other provinces...
