Chapter 156 Li Changgeng's Emperor's Inspiration
Zhang Zuolin saw clearly that he could not fight Li Changgeng's form, and his ability could not truly govern a country well, especially compared with a cunning and experienced talent like Li Changgeng, who was cunning and experienced in politics. Take Yang Shiqi as an example. Such a talent must be held and coaxed to serve him. However, such a talent came to Li Changgeng's hand and kicked him into the garbage dump after he used up. He didn't understand it at the time. Now that he thought about it, he realized how long Li Changgeng's vision was, and there was no opposition to the Soviet Union's battle from military to political affairs from the military to the government.
Judging from the strength and situation at that time, the entire Northeast coalition forces had no certainty in winning the Soviet Union's war. As he said, a country, a political party, a political party, and a leader. The will of the leader is the will of the party, and the will of the party is the will of the country. If this idea is realized, it is probably no worse than the emperor's name. Perhaps the only thing that is worse is a hereditary system.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Zuolin brought Li Changgeng's wife, daughter-in-law and son when he was sealing the wolf. Although his approach was criticized, it was all for him, Zhang Zuolin, and no one dared to point his caliber at Li Changgeng. No one dared to say what Li Changgeng was like, and no one could do what he did.
My first risky move has been rewarded with fruitful rewards. My eldest son Zhang Xueliang has been with Li Changgeng, and it is estimated that it will not take long to realize either party. With his friendship with Li Changgeng, Xiao Liuzi has been with Li Changgeng for a long time, he can easily become his confidant. The daughter-in-law Qiao Mochou of Li Changgeng went out of his own family. Why worry about the unstable power of the Zhang family with these three relationships?
Zhang Zuolin was moved, and Yang Du was also moved. Li Changgeng's political methods became more and more unfathomable. When he was fond of Langjuxu, he had encouraged him to be the king and emperor. After all, he had learned the skills of the emperor. Now it seems that his methods are really unpredictable. He is different from the three Zhang, Cao, and Wu who are not versed in politics. Although his shareholder Yuan Shikai's proclaimed emperor ended in failure, after such a long time of reflection in Li Changgeng, he also discovered that there is great potential for party politics, especially the momentum of the Red Russian Revolution, which made him see the benefits of party power.
But after hearing what Li Changgeng said today, Yang Du found that he was still far inferior to Li Changgeng in this regard. What kind of tutoring can train a monster like Li Changgeng? Yang Shiqi died unjustly. He just didn't see Li Changgeng's ambitions and **. His overestimating one's own ability touched Li Changgeng's bottom line, which caused a disaster. He didn't see it either, but he was lucky than Yang Shiqi. It is not difficult to judge from Li Changgeng's words just now that he had the position of Secretary-General of the National Socialist Party. In the future, his power will definitely be inferior to tens of thousands.
Cao Kun was already confused by the promise of a vice president and could not tell the difference between the north and the south. He didn't think much about it, but just kept thinking about the vice president. That was equivalent to the past king of shoulder to shoulder. Li Changgeng really looked down on him.
Wu Peifu is calmer than the others, and he agrees with the merger of the Direct and Northeastern divisions. He has seen Li Changgeng so well. After watching all the way in Harbin these days, if China has developed at the same speed as Harbin, why should the country not be prosperous?
After a banquet, the guests and hosts had fun. Li Changgeng, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu talked for five consecutive days, and finally the two families reached an agreement on interests. After that, Cao and Wu returned to their territory. The next day, the National Socialist Baath Party announced that the first National Party Congress would be held in Xi'an on March 6, 1920. On the same day, Li Changgeng, Zhang Zuolin, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu issued a telegram. The current illegal Anfu Congress will hold a national National Congress in Xi'an on March 8, 1920, and detailed the composition, role and power of the National Congress, as well as the topics and contents of the convening of this conference.
On the second day of the power outage, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Mongolia, Anxi, Beiting, Hanhai, Xinjiang, Far East, Zhili, Jiangsu and Jiangxi announced their support for the establishment of the National Congress. Following closely behind Henan, Hubei, Qinghai and Gansu also supported the establishment of the National Congress.
Duan Qirui saw Li Changgeng Zhi and the two groups of powered by the power, he knew that he was one step late. Fighting with the Northeast Army was inevitable. He was also plotted by the Zhi faction, which was completely inconsistent with his previous plan to fight a small battle with the Northeast Army. Li Changgeng had proposed to establish a National Congress to replace the current Anfu Congress, which was equivalent to cutting off the political foundation of the Anhui faction. If the military failure is made, the Anhui faction will completely lose the opportunity to turn around!
In fact, after many factions of the two groups were passed by, many factions of the Anhui clans were launched, and the two groups had already surrendered. Although the elders who were idle at home as apartment houses seemed to have no real power, the factional power was not weak at all, and those who were in power were not weak at all. These people were not a lot of relatives and friends, and were not easy to detect, but if they really encountered things that were related to interests, they would definitely not be a small force.
According to his original idea, the Zhili and Feng factions were not bordered by each other, and their political thoughts were different. The Zhili advocated peace talks between the north and the south and supported the law, while the Anhui faction was unified by force and established new laws. Judging from the means of Li Changgeng and Zhang Zuolin's governance of the local government and the actions of the National Congress, the Feng faction's thoughts were similar to the Anhui faction. Unexpectedly, the Zhili surrendered to the Feng faction first. The situation he faced is likely to be attacked by Zhili, and the Feng army on both sides. It seems that he has to win over a small ally, that is, Yan Xishan, a warlord who just stepped forward in the Jin Dynasty.
Yan Xishan was able to become a tumbler in the Republic of China, so he naturally had an extraordinary vision and mind. After receiving the invitation from Duan Qirui's alliance, his head was also aching. The Northeast Army's momentum of sweeping the world had already emerged. The two leaders of the direct army surrendered and sucheng. They guarded the one-acre and three-point land in Shanxi. They have always been cautious and cautious in not getting involved in the battle between the three major factions of Beiyang. They really don't want to hide this matter, but the more they want to avoid it. They fought against the Northeast Army. Yan Laoxi believed that he had no capital, and now he was adding a direct army that was on the back of Shanxi's midfielder. It was obvious that he had no future in cooperation with the Anhui faction, but he really wanted to merge with the Feng faction like the direct army, and was afraid that the Jin faction that he had just integrated was eaten up so much that he was not even left.
Yan Laoxi, who has been carefully staring at several factions, has a much higher understanding of the Northeast than other factions. He even secretly disguised himself and went to the Northeast for investigation. Harbin's shocking industrial construction is still imprinted in his mind. He can't beat it but can't escape it. He has played a two-faced and three-killing skill this time. First, he wrote a letter to Li Changgeng that he supported the establishment of the National Congress, but the Shanxi Parliament is not easy to pass. I hope the commander-in-chief can give him some time to solve the current difficulties, and he has the ability to manage Shanxi well. Then he wrote to Duan Qirui that the Jin army did not have the strength to jump out of Shanxi to fight, but the Jin army had the strength to defend Shanxi well. If Shanxi was defending Shanxi well, it would be equivalent to restraining a certain number of Northeast Army. What kind of results can the Anhui faction be achieved?
Duan Qirui felt sad when he saw the letter Yan Laoxi wrote to him. It was better to ask for help than to ask for help. The facts were indeed as Yan Laoxi said. The Jin army had no strength to go out to Shanxi to fight the Feng army or Zhi army, so there was no need to say about the Northeast Army. Even if the Zhi army had the territory of five provinces, the strength of the 18 regular divisions and the 18 mixed brigades was not something that a small Jin army could fight against. It could rely on the mountainous territories of Shanxi and the Great Wall in northwestern Shanxi to guard the two groups of Shanxi, known as the mountains and rivers of Shanxi and Zhifeng.
Li Changgeng received a letter from Yan Xishan at the General Command of the Northeast Army in Harbin and read it, and handed it to Zhang Zuolin and said, "This old Yan abacus was a thief who was fighting. He thought that the Northeast Army was not worth the effort to fight him, but he didn't know that the geographical location of Shanxi was the place where we were bound to win. Once the capital was established, Shanxi was the gateway to Shaanxi. How could he allow him to play any tricks of the inside and the mountains and rivers? Or stabilize him first. According to Baili and Ziyu's plan, our Northeast Army will be thirty-one and twenty-eighth. It is enough for two divisions to enter from Shanhaiguan to Beijing first. Cao Kun's third division defended Le Yunpeng's Shandong troops and cut off the transportation on the Beijing-Tianjin line. Ziyu's fifth division and one brigade, captured Zhejiang and Fujian provinces for me, and left an Anhui for the Anhui region to serve as a place for the Anhui regime. Looking back, we are cleaning up Shanxi."
Zhang Zuolin touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "Qi Ming. Didn't you say that only by completely defeating these people can you completely penetrate your will? Why are you changing your mind now?"
"Brother Seven, when did I change my mind? Humph, we should still defeat it. But our main enemy is not these Beiyang warlords. These people do not have a unified idea, and they have a half-understanding of the party and government thoughts, and they have no loyalty. They are all taken when they are used and kicked far away when they are not used. Such people are currently the target of our fight for. From the overall situation of the country, what we really want to fight are the territories of Guangdong, Guangxi, Southwest, Sichuan, and Hunan.
Although the warlords at these places are not as good as the climate, they are not easy to deal with. Various forces are mixed together and they are mixed together. In addition, the revolutionary party is indiscriminately in these places, and there is a natural danger and a good place. How can we not add some cannon fodder to these places?"
"Haha, I understand. Isn't this what you said to pull part of it and fight part of it. Solving the main contradiction is to solve the secondary contradiction, right?"
"That's true. How can Beiyang divide the faction? It's still a riot in the framework of Beiyang. It's like wearing shoes. The small warlords and revolutionary parties in the south are barefoot. People who wear shoes are too worried and lack courage. Instead, those who are barefoot have no worries. They are already nothing, and if they lose, they are just like this. If they win, they can wear shoes and live comfortably."
"Qi Ming, then do you think we are wearing shoes or barefoot?"
"Hahaha, of course we wear shoes, but our shoes are pairs of iron shoes. We are not afraid of kicking or stepping on them! If we don't talk about this, how is Xu Youzheng talking about?"
"Hey, this kid is also a sloppy man. Seeing that our Northeast Army's ten divisions were placed on the front line of Chahar, Suiyuan and Rehe, he no longer had the courage to attack us. Now he is probably waiting for us to offer a price to pay back the money. What kind of peaceful solution had he proposed before, let Duan Qirui step down and Le Yunpeng take over as prime minister. As a result, our 7th Division pushed towards Chahar, and was so scared that he had nothing to say."
"Well, tell him that I, Li Changgeng, still value Xu Youzheng's ability, but now he has no choice. There is only a dead end to confront our Northeast Army. He should not overestimate his ability to use his subordinates as cannon fodder. His kid has a good military quality, but his vision is too small. I will go to Harbin Military and Political University to return to the furnace, sharpen my temper, and study military knowledge solidly. I am leading my troops. In the future, I, Li Changgeng, will definitely live up to his talent!"
"Okay! I'm going to talk to him."
"Wait for a while, Brother Qi, we have to prepare both ways. We can't put the eggs in a basket. Let's talk to the two brigade commanders under Xu Shuzheng. Some things are better than those above the seats. As long as they turn against each other, each person has a hundred thousand oceans. If they originally want to do it, they will retain their military rank and study at Harbin Military and Political University. If they want to be an apartment, they will add 20 thousand oceans."
Zhang Zuolin stuttered and said, "Qi Ming, isn't it costing both ends to do this?"
Li Changgeng played with a jade piece in his hand and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. He has short hands and short mouths. Xu Shuzheng's Northwest Frontier Defense Forces' source of troops was recruited from Northwest Shandong during the European War. The quality of the soldiers was quite good, the training was regular, and the military discipline was also good. In addition, the army's establishment has only been more than a year since the establishment of this army, and its loyalty to the Anhui generals is not too high. It can be successfully eaten by hundreds of thousands of oceans. No matter how you calculate it, it can be calculated!"
"Hahaha, if Duan Qirui heard what you said just now, I wouldn't cry to death. Qiming wants to calculate that one brigade commander of 100,000 is there a little less?"
"Of course there is a little less, but is the current form? We are dealers. In a stable win situation, they can still get some gambling money after doing it. If they don't do it, they can't get the gambling money back. What would you choose if you were the brigade commander of the Anhui Army?"
"I understand, I understand!" Zhang Zuolin happily left Li Changgeng's office. He is now the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, commanding and mobilizing 200,000 Northeast Army to fight for the world. It was the most energetic time. Since Li Changgeng won the Langjuxu, he has deviated from actual military command and entered a higher level to control the overall situation. The current form seems to have returned to the origin of Zhi and Fengtian in history to fight against the Anhui faction. The commanding senior leaders of the two armies are still led by Zhang Zuolin, the Zhi army is led by Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, and the Anhui army is dominated by Duan Zhigui, Xu Shuzheng and Le Yunpeng, but Zhi. The Anhui faction is still the same, but the Northeast Army is much stronger than history.
After Zhang Zuolin left, Li Changgeng thought for a while and pressed a small electric bell on the table. After a while, Tang Long appeared in front of Li Changgeng, "What are the instructions for lord!"
Li Changgeng looked up at Tang Long and said, "Has the nails beside Cao and Wu buried?"
"Go back to the lord, it's already buried, but it will take one or two months to start. The nails around the deputy commander-in-chief have also been buried, and it's now started!"
"Yeah, tell me the situation!"
"When I return to my lord, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang has been busy with the General Staff General Baili for the time being, and preparing to fight south. Everything is normal. It is his second wife, Lu and fifth wife, Shou. During this time, he brought his eldest daughter-in-law Yu Feng to his lord's house and brought his relationship with his mistress closer to his lord in the name of helping to take care of the prince."
"Well, Mochou grew up next to Mrs. Lu. They have a good relationship. With my relationship with Brother Qi, it is normal for the two families to move around. I will pay attention. What else is there!" Li Changgeng thought for a while and said lightly.
Tang Long was stunned for a moment. Is this asking him to continue surveillance or not? Well, as long as there is no big deal, just turn a blind eye to the lord's family affairs. If you know too much, you will not have any good endings. However, those who do information are afraid that they will have no valuable information after a long time.
Tang Long gritted his teeth and said carefully: "Lord, although the nails buried by Cao Kun have not been used, I also buried a nail next to Cao Kun when President Yuan was President. I heard that after Cao Kun and Wu Peifu returned to Nanjing, they held a military meeting and appointed General Wu as the commander-in-chief of the West Road and Cao Ying as the commander-in-chief of the East Road. This is very different from the strategy of Cao Kun defending Zhili, Wu Peifu attacking Zhejiang and Fujian. The two generals of Cao Wu argued for a long time, and finally Wu Peifu fell to the cup and left the field. After Wu Peifu left, Cao Ying said a lot of bad things about Wu Peifu to Cao Kun."
After hearing this, Li Changgeng thought for a while and realized that Cao San's fool was self-righteous. He was afraid that our Northeast Army would take over Beijing and make his Zhili army lose his voice, so that he would not be the vice president I promised to him. He did not think that if he decided to set up the capital of Chang'an in the future, the role of Zhili Province in defending Beijing was completely lost, and it would be far less than taking over Zhejiang and Fujian as a rich province. However, Cao Kun had the kindness of knowing Wu Peifu, although there were many disagreements between the two. However, in history, Cao Kun was able to become the president of the Republic of China, all his strength was Wu Peifu.
Even though Cao San's foolish people don't take a wealthy province like Zhejiang and Fujian, and don't use a general who commands a million troops, they will have to take advantage of themselves in the future. Even if Cao Kun wants to be the vice president so much, let him be the one. Humph, as long as he becomes the bullshit vice president, he can do whatever he wants. Wu Peifu has to make a good mind. Back then, he built a hut on Jigong Mountain, Luoyang's tiger sight, and all directions meet Zhongzhou. He is definitely a famous hero during the Republic of China!
The most valuable thing is his loyalty to Cao San fools. If Wu Peifu's prestige and strength at that time were enough to replace Cao Kun's position at that time, in order to avoid suspicion, he ran to Luoyang Jigong Mountain to study behind closed doors and let his generals concentrate on one side. It seemed that Wu Peifu was in a glorious position, and Cao Kun would discuss with him in all major affairs in the world. However, he did not expect that he would block the rise of his generals. As a result, he ended up betrayal of his relatives.
However, in Li Changgeng's eyes, Wu Peifu's behavior was simply too much to love. This was the standard that was hard to find in his heart. But how to conquer Wu Ziyu had to worry about it and also find a way to check and balance the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command. "Tang Long, now you can bury nails around me, especially those of Feng Yuxiang, Xiao Yaonan, and Hu Jingyi, which are more. It will be of great use in the future!"
Tang Long took the order and left. Li Changgeng sat in the room again, calculating Wu Peifu's weakness. This person is not greedy for money, does not value authority, and is particularly honest. It seems that there is no chance to buy it! But if Li Chang doesn't think so, a person will have weaknesses and weaknesses. The key is to find the right point. Why is Wu Peifu loyal to Cao Kun? The reason is that Cao Kun is loyal to him. Cao Kun is able to ban him from all sides. This is a kind of kindness of knowing the encounter, but now Wu Peifu is already a general, so what should he give him the favor of knowing the encounter? In fact, the direct generals all have one shortcoming, that is, the suspicion of the superiors and subordinates, Cao Kun is suspicion of Wu Peifu, Wu Peifu is suspicion of Feng Yuxiang, and Feng Yuxiang is also suspicion of his subordinates.
This is like a vicious circle that cannot be escaped, but if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find out the root of suspicion in the Beiyang warlord system. That is the evil deeds of Yuan Shikai, who trained soldiers at the small station. At that time, Yuan Shikai asked the officers and soldiers to shout on the playground every day, eating Yuan Gongbao's food, wearing Yuan Gongbao's clothes, and listening to Yuan Gongbao's words. He served Yuan Gongbao. Later, the six towns in Beiyang and four towns were all Yuan Shikai's family troops. Of course, Yuan Shikai did this to support his troops and respect himself. Of course, the effect was good. He forced the Qing court to retreat and became the president of the Republic of China.
With the successful examples of the previous views, the Zhi and Anhui divisions under Yuan Shikai naturally followed suit and followed the steps, and the army became the ladder for generals to advance, and became the private army in the hands of the generals. So much so that Yuan Shikai had no choice but to take Feng Guozhang of the Zhi division and Duan Qirui of the Anhui division. Once Feng Guozhang of the Zhi division died, the successor Cao Kun and Wu Peifu did not have absolute authority to suppress the generals of the Zhi division. Now the Zhi division is just a loose alliance. Later, Wu Peifu defeated the Anhui division and Feng faction one after another, and sat in the formation to look at the world, so the Zhi division was unified again. But the good times did not last long. In the Second Zhi-Feng War, Feng Yuxiang, Hu Jingyi and others turned against each other, and the shortcomings of disunity within the Beiyang warlords were completely exposed. It also made the knowledgeable people turn their attention to the gmd that was formed by the climate.
The Northeast Army also has factions, but there is no problem of private army. First, the Northeast implements military-political division measures. Although it has been under the banner of the military government, it has never interfered in the actual governance of local soldiers. In addition, the Northeast Army has a complete logistics system and advanced weapons. Once it has left stable logistics supplies, most advanced weapons have become fire sticks. Second, the Northeast Army implements the chief of staff system. As long as the chief of staff obtains the authorization of the General Command, it can replace the command of the chief of the army. The chief of staff is responsible for the upward responsibility system, which means that the chief of staff is only responsible for the staff system where they are located. Third, the officers of the Northeast Army are all from colleges and universities, and some factions formed are mostly brought together because of different military ideas, which has a very strong resistance to the emergence of the private army.
Since the Northeast Army has a suppressive effect on the private army of the Beiyang warlords, it will be easy to do. Take your time and put Cao Kun in an empty position and hold Wu Peifu high. It is not easy for Cao and Wu to get apart, but it is very easy for these two people to be unable to hold the group. Li Changgeng figured out all this, lit a cigarette, and leaned comfortably on the chair to enjoy the pleasure of manipulating everything himself! (To be continued.
