Chapter 258 Say goodbye to the warlord system!

"Sir, I have some suggestions to mention to you.

Kong Xiangxi had just introduced Chang Ruiqing's "Project to Founding the Country". When Sun Yat-sen was still digesting those methods in his mind. However, Chang Ruiqing suddenly stood up and looked at Sun Yat-sen with a serious look on his face.

Sun Yat-sen smiled: "Comrade Yaoru, sit down and talk. If you have any suggestions, please make it." Chang Ruiqing sat down, his face still solemn: "Sir, these methods of founding the country proposed by his subordinates may not be realized in China at present!"

"Why?" Sun Yat-sen was stunned and asked back. Although he and Chang Ruiqing were a little dissatisfied, he could still distinguish whether the method proposed by the other party was good. Besides, he is the chairman of the National Government now. If China can be built well, he will of course be the first contribution! If the people are in trouble and die, his chairman will be over. As a "founding emperor", Sun Yat-sen can still distinguish between importance. So he had already made up his mind and prepared to adopt the Chang's strategy for founding the country.

Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, because our Republic of China has only achieved unity in name! Now the orders of the central government cannot reach the whole country, the entire northwest, northeast, Shanxi,

Sichuan, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places are still working on their own, not the jurisdiction of our central government!

In addition, our National Defense Forces is not a real national army. Now the Central Army under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission has only more than 600,000 of 12 troops, while the total number of local warlord troops is almost 700,000! If we do not organize and do not truly unify the country, let alone implement the country-building strategy, I am afraid that the end of Beiyang will be our tomorrow!"

Sun Yat-sen had already understood the meaning of Chang Ruiqing's words. The Chang revolutionary now wants to attack the current warlords who are separatist, right? But Chang Ruiqing's prestige and power in the Central Army are a bit too great! Not only are he surrounded by a group of classmates from the Baoding department, but there are many admirers among the young officers below. If the Chinese army is completely unified, they might become the Chang's army, right?

Seeing that Sun Yat-sen just smiled and didn't say anything, Chang Ruiqing also knew what the other party was thinking. He pondered for a while, then looked at Sun Yat-sen seriously.

"Mr. Sun" Unify military orders, and unified government orders are the general trend! None of the advanced countries in the world are divided by warlords and the elimination of warlords and unifying China is the goal of our national revolution? Now the National Revolution is said to be a victory, but the warlord armed forces in various places are probably not reduced at all compared to the Beiyang government, right? Among the more than 1.3 million national defense forces, there are only more than 600,000, and more than 700,000 of them belong to private ones! If we don't take advantage of the remaining power of the victory of the Northern Expedition to sort them out, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future!"

He paused for a moment, and watched Sun Yat-sen's eyebrows gradually frizzle. He knew that the other party was still worried, so he could only sigh: "Sir, do you think this is good? Lou might as well carry out the army in batches. The first step is to sort out the new army in mainland China, first sort out the new second army in Zhejiang and Shanghai. They are the foundation of the Beiyang Fourth Division and the 10th Division, and the equipment training is very good. The subordinates suggest that the New Second Army be reorganized into the 13th Army of the National Defense Forces. The commander of the 13th Army can be succeeded by Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Zijia, and the officers of the 13th Army participate in the rotation training of the Central Military Academy and the Army University in batches."

Then it was redistributed. Lu Zijia continued to serve as the chairman of Zhejiang Province, He Fenglin remained as the commander of Songhu Security, and Chen Leshan became the commander of Zhejiang Province's security.

Secondly, we can sort out the E army of General Lan Jihao who is now stationed in Henan. General Lan Jihao was originally a believer of Mr. "It would be better to ask him to serve as a member of the Military Commission and deputy chief of the Army, and at the same time, he barely forced Jiang JShi to serve as a member of the Military Commission. Then follow the example of the Japanese Army to establish the position of education director, and General Wu Yuxun takes office..."

When Sun Yat-sen frowned and interrupted Chang Ruiqing when he heard that he wanted to go to Jiang JShi, he frowned and interrupted Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru, JShi is a hero in the anti-Russian battle. It is better to keep this member of the Military Commission for the time being... and two more members were added. "One for Lan Jihao and the other for Wu Yuxun, how about it?"

"Okay, sir." Chang Ruiqing let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He originally wanted to take the opportunity of reorganizing the army to remove the member of the Military Commission of Jiang JShi, who had become a warlord. Now it seems that he cannot pass the Sun Yat-sen level. However, it is not a loss to allow Wu Shi to enter the Military Commission.

He paused and then suggested: "The next thing we need to sort out is the three armies of Sichuan, Yunnan and Jin.......... For these three armies, the subordinates' ideas are to divide and govern them! Among these three armies, "the Sichuan army has the most, the Jin army is the weakest, and the Yunnan army is the strongest. So we can transfer the Yunnan army to the northwest, appoint Gu Pinzhen as the commander-in-chief of the northwest border defense, and order him to lead the Yunnan army to deal with the Beiyang remnants of Guanzhong and Hanzhong."

He fought all the way to Gansu to take office. The Yunnan Army will not be reorganized for the time being, so Gu Pinzhen will not be in a dilemma with the central government.

Now that the Jin army has returned to Guizhou to station, they are surrounded by the Central Army as soon as the Yunnan Army leaves. They are weak and should not dare to resist the Central Committee. However, the current leader of the Jin army, Wang Wenhua, is a figure, and has a group of Japanese non-commissioned officers (that is, He Yingqin, Gu Zhenglun, and Zhu Shaoliang), so don't force them too much. Wang Wenhua can be appointed as the chairman of Guizhou Province and his military post. Then the Jin army is reorganized into two central direct divisions, with He Yingqin and Zhu Shaoliang as division commanders, and the Jin army officers also go to the Central Military Academy and the Army University to train in another training.

In addition, Liu Cunhou's troops, who were originally loyal to the Beiyang, were reorganized into a central direct division, with Deng Xihou as the commander. The two divisions adapted from this division and Jin army were merged into the 14th Army. The commander of the 14th Army can be appointed by General Dan Nugang of the Sichuan Army, and the deputy commander was appointed by Liu Chengxun of the Sichuan Army, and the chief of staff also appointed Lai Xinhui of the Sichuan Army. The above three are generals of the Xiong Kewu system. After transferring them from the Sichuan Army, it will be much easier to sort out the Sichuan Army. As for how Sichuan and Sichuan Army should be rectified, sir, have a solution?"

Sun Yat-sen nodded and smiled and said, "The Sichuan Army was reorganized into the 15th Army, with the commander of Lu Chao, and the chairman of Sichuan Province was Shi Qingyang. They are all loyal comrades of the Kuomintang and can be trusted. As for Xiong Jinfan, I want him to serve in the central government, so it is better to be the head of the future public opinion agency."

Xiong Kewu and Sun Yat-sen have always been incompatible, so Sun Yat-sen naturally won’t give him any fat.

This is a matter within the Kuomintang, and Chang Ruiqing does not intend to inquire about it.

Then he talked about his suggestions for reorganizing the army: "In addition, there are the Jin army in Shanxi. There are not many Jin army, but there are four mixed brigades. The management and command system of the troops are similar to that of the National Defense Forces." Just transfer the personnel, finance and logistics management authority that originally belonged to the Shanxi Provincial Security Command to the Military Commission. As for General Yan Baichuan, he is actually good at politics and short of military strategy. If he can serve in the central government, he serves as the chairman of the State Planning Commission or the ministers of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, Ministry of Energy, and Ministry of Metallurgy. It is very suitable to serve as the chairman of the State Planning Commission or the ministers of the Ministry of Heavy Industry, Ministry of Energy, and Ministry of Metallurgy."

Sun Yat-sen smiled. The image that Yan Xishan gave to the world was indeed a profiteer with abacus around his neck. Shanxi was indeed managed in an orderly manner by him, and it was a paradise in troubled times.

However, he was used to being a local emperor in Shanxi, so it was hard to say whether he would rather work in the central government.

Chang Ruiqing's suggestion continued: "As for the Zhensong Army in Henan, there are the Beiyang remnants in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, it is better to find a way to arrange (dismiss) and let Gu Pinzhen's Yunnan Army deal with them. In addition, there are the civilian army in Shaanxi. The subordinates' idea is to transfer them to Suiyuan, give them several mixed brigade numbers, and then incorporate them into the Northwest Frontier Defense Forces."

Sun Yat-sen nodded: "In this way, the military orders and government orders in the mainland can be unified... However, the two border guards in the northeast and northwest cannot be implemented hastily, but also take into account the situation in all aspects. After all, the situation there is different from the mainland. Not only is there a relatively complex national situation," but also the infiltration of the great powers, especially Japan... The secret negotiations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Japan have been going on for several months. Although the Japanese are willing to support us in regaining rights from the European and American powers, they are still unwilling to give up completely.

Our country's special rights "especially their special rights in the Northeast and Mongolia. Even Germany's privileges in Shandong, as well as the Japanese concessions in Tianjin and Hankou, they would not let it go easily unless we were willing to sign a treaty against the Soviet Union with Japan. They also sent Inuyasu and Uchida Ryohei to China, and they will be in Beijing tomorrow. Yaoru, how do you think we should deal with Japan?" His expression was a little gloomy, and he seemed to be reluctant to choose Japan as an ally, but he did not dare to publicly refuse the party.

In fact, Sun Yat-sen has always been more pro-Japanese in the past. If it weren't for this "Kolchak Golden Incident", he would have long expressed his support for the Sino-Japanese alliance. Even if the conditions for the alliance were harsh, the Americans won the unanimous favor of the National Government through their generosity of Belarus! Moreover, in the process of China's pursuit of abolishing unequal treaties and accelerating industrialization, the United States, the world's number one power, can give China far greater support than Japan! After all, China and Japan are neighboring countries, and they will not want to see China really embark on the road of industrialization! In contrast, Americans certainly do not want China to develop into a strong country that can compete with it.

, However, in the early stages of China's industrialization, the United States can still provide some help......... The gap between China and the United States is too big now! China's industry may be able to catch up with Japan within ten or twenty years. However, if you want to surpass the United States, it will take several generations of efforts to achieve it, so the United States is not busy suppressing China. From this point of view, choosing the United States as a friend is indeed more in line with China's interests than choosing Japan, not to mention that the Kuomintang members of Sun Yat-sen's faction have always been pro-American elements! But what kind of country is Japan? This Kuomintang leader who has dealt with the Japanese for so many years is also clear.

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly: "Sir, my subordinates think that joining Japan and resisting Russia is not impossible. The key is to see whether Japan can treat me equally. The current relationship between China and Japan and Russia is a Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Among them, the Soviet Union inherited the family business of Tsarist Russia, which should be Cao Wei: Although Japan is strong, most of their military strength is on the sea and warships cannot go to the shore. In the future, Japan and Russia may conflict are on the land in the Far East, so they should be considered Eastern Wu. And we are Western Shu... If Wu and Shu can truly alliance, they can resist Cao Wei. If Eastern Wu always thinks to seize Jingzhou, Wu and Shu will only be defeated by Cao Wei!"

After hearing Chang Ruiqing's words, Sun Yat-sen was speechless and finally sighed: "The Japanese will not treat me equally, because they will not regard themselves as Eastern Wu..."

Chang Ruiqing pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Sir, we don't have to accommodate Japan too much. We will not touch their interests in Manchuria and Mongolia for the time being... We can establish a Manchuria and Mongolia special economic zone, implement a low tariff and likin system, and the special rights and interests of Japan within the pass should be recovered as soon as possible! In this way, Japan will not break with us. Compared with a few small concessions within the pass, their interests in the Far East are related to the rise and fall of the country. And the Soviet Union is also impossible to give up the Far East, so the Second Russo-Japanese War is impossible to avoid, so Japan's primary enemy is still the Soviet Union."

In his words, he mentioned the issue of taking back the special rights and interests of the great powers in China. On the one hand, the National Government is negotiating with the envoys of the great powers, and on the other hand, he ordered the Chinese delegation at the Paris Peace Conference (accompanied by the National Government) to propose the revocation of customs rights, the concession (excluding the concessions in Hong Kong and Japan in the Northeast), and suspend the payment of Boxer Indemnities. However, except for the United States fully agreeing with these requirements, Britain, France and Japan are unwilling to give in. It seems that not mobilizing some violence will not solve the problem!

Sun Yat-sen did not express his opinion directly on this, but just nodded with a smile: "If you have anything, just let it go, I will support you."

"He paused for a moment and said, "Yaoru" things will be arranged slowly after we return to Nanjing. The most important thing at the moment is the White Russian and gold, and we must ensure that everything is foolproof!"

Just a few days after this long talk between Chang Ruiqing and Sun Yat-sen, the official newspaper "New Youth", the official newspaper of GCD, the official newspaper of the Kuomintang, and the Central Daily News, mastered by the Propaganda Department of the National Government, began to promote the "Strategy for Founding of the Country" jointly proposed by Sun Yat-sen and Chang Ruiqing. Then, newspapers from all over the north and south also reported on this matter extensively, and of course, the public opinion was full of praise. It believed that the proposal of the "Strategy for Founding of the Country" marked the end of the troubled times of the Republic of China and the beginning of national construction, and the practice of "left-ministerialism" proposed by Chang Ruiqing. Of course, some newspapers also believed that the "Strategy for Founding of the Country" was the result of the mutual integration of the Three Principles of the People and Left-ministerialism, and Sun Yat-sen's contribution was also quite huge.

However, the Left Ministry Research Associations in various places ignored it and took this opportunity to set off a new round of god-making movement. "The great attitude of promoting Chang Ruiqing as China's No. 1 God. With this series of propaganda that beautified Chang Ruiqing, the somewhat mysterious organization of the Left Ministry Research Association has also begun to make its mark on the Chinese political stage! And what it brings to China is another new political model of personality worship!

At this time, Chang Ruiqing was stranded in Zhangjiakou, waiting for Kolchak, Belarus, and the ton of precious gold. However, the one who came to Zhangjiakou first was not Kolchak, but the Zhao family's mother and daughter and their more than 2,000 bandits and cavalry.

Although this army looked very unreasonable, they did make great contributions in this "golden incident"! If they had not destroyed the Siberian railway line, the Japanese would have taken Semenov hostage to fight for the throne of the consul of the Belarusian Provisional Government.

Of course, Chang Ruiqing could only take the time from his busy schedule to entertain himself, and invited Mama Zhao, Zhao Sanmei and several bandit leaders under them to the headquarters of the Military Commission in Zhangjiakou.

Chang Ruiqing sat in the middle with a smile, calling his servant to serve tea to everyone. His concubine Zhao Xianger was by his side. For some reason, her pretty face was flushed red, and her big eyes were sweeping around her sister and Chang Ruiqing from time to time.

Zhao Sanmei looked a little weird. After seeing Chang Ruiqing's appearance, her face was filled with a shy smile no matter how she looked. She lowered her head and didn't talk much. It seemed that today was not here to meet her boss, but to come for a blind date! However, our handsome man Chang had long been accustomed to this kind of scene. He chatted with Mama Zhao and Zhao Sanmei with a smile, and asked about them from time to time about fighting in the Far East. When he heard that Zhao Sanmei was leading the way, he nodded and praised.

As for Mama Zhao, she looks like a very scheming woman. However, like most mothers in this era, she has some ideas about favoring boys over girls, and it is quite serious.

After a few words of meeting, he began to turn around and ask about his son Zhao Hu. He heard that his son had finished his studies at the Whampoa Military Academy, which is currently a short training class, and was intern in the army, and he couldn't wait to say: "Yaoru, the first brigade of cavalry brought back by our mother and daughter has been fighting on the territory of the Russians for several months. He has fought with Mongolian cavalry and Cossack cavalry! He has extremely rich practical experience. If Hu Zi wants to intern, it is better to come to our own team. He will be the second brigade commander first and take over the third sister's errands. After a while, he will take over the brigade commander's errands. What do you think?"

Chang Ruiqing thought to himself: "I just planned to deal with other people's warlord troops, and my brother-in-law is preparing to become a warlord again! Is the profession of warlords really so popular these days?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Madam Zhao suddenly thought of something and pointed to her third daughter and said to Chang Ruiqing: "Oh, look at my memory. I just think about my son and forgot my daughter. The third sister is already at the age of getting married. It's not a big deal to stay in the old Zhao family. However, this girl has a high vision and ordinary men can't surrender her. She has discussed it with Xiang'er and the third sister herself, and is going to let her follow her sister to the Chang Mansion. In the future, the sisters will be together... In this way, our Chang and Zhao families will kiss each other more in the future. You have to take good care of this tiger, Yaoru."
