    It is understandable that Zhang Hanqing issued orders in the name of the patrol envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu.

    But the officialdom of the Republic of China was not like this - most of the patrol envoys during the Republic of China actually had false duties, and they were only used to promote and demote generals who had become outdated. Some were used to appease, such as Zhang Xun's appointment.  The patrol envoys on the Yangtze River actually have no control over a single province, and Wang Zhanyuan's patrol envoys on the two lakes only care about their own Hubei but not Hunan.

    There are only two patrol envoys with real names: Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, and Lu Rongting, the patrol envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi. Coincidentally, they are both from Green Forest and military governors, and they have firmly grasped military power after being promoted.  .

    Feng Yuxiang worked hard to make wedding clothes for others, and had to be controlled by Zhang Hanqing, a "little kid with a yellow mouth", so he was naturally angry about it.  How could he retreat so easily after finally finding a treasured land?

    But his immediate boss, the baby commander, held a moral baton and kept hitting him. The clay figurine also has a bloody nature, not to mention that he is an arrogant warlord in the first place?  Gradually sparks exploded between the two.

    The competition between Zhifeng and Zhifeng was also fierce in other places: on the same day that Zhang Hanqing issued the telegram, the central government specially appointed Wang Shizhen as the patrol envoy to Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi. Wang succeeded him, but failed, so Zhang Zuolin tried to protect Zhang Xun.  .  You must know that although Zhang Xun's reputation is not very good, he is the father-in-law of one of Zhang Hanqing's sisters. The two families are in-laws.

    Of course, Cao Kun and Xu Shichang wanted to use people directly connected to them. They appointed Qi Xieyuan as the governor of Jiangsu, and appointed He Fenglin as the envoy to protect the army in Songhu.  As a result, the three provinces of the Yangtze River were still firmly in the hands of the Zhili Clique, which aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, especially Zhang Zuolin's strong backlash.

    The current Feng Clan is far from comparable to the same period in official history. Not only does it surpass the Zhili Clan in military terms, but it also performs well in terms of economic strength.  In particular, Zhang Hanqing's series of heroic actions such as the recovery of Mokuowei, Hulunbuir, Outer Mongolia and Tangnu Ulianghai won a good reputation in the country and he also took the lead politically.

    In this case, for the sake of balance, Jin Yunpeng made a retreat. In the name of the central government, he asked Feng Yuxiang to retreat as ordered.  As Feng's backstage, Wu Peifu was concerned about the situation and chose to acquiesce.  Feng Yuxiang was helpless: in terms of legal principles and strength, he could not compete with his immediate boss Zhang Hanqing, who claimed to have five divisions, and the giant Zhang Zuolin standing behind him.

    On December 3, Feng Yuxiang was "ordered" to withdraw from Xi'an and stationed in Ankang, the border area of ??Shaanxi, Sichuan and Hubei.  But this incident also planted the seeds of discord between Feng and Wu.

    Feng Yuxiang was not only angry at Feng Xi's hand, but also resented and looked down upon Wu Peifu's concession.  The battle for Shaanxi objectively created a gap between the two main figures in the direct line, Feng and Wu, which Wu Peifu probably did not expect.

    Zhang Hanqing was unyielding when he gained power. He ordered a crusade in the name of Governor Liu Zhenhua's attachment to Duan Qirui.  Liu Zhenhua didn't dare to be tough on Zhang Hanqing when he saw the powerful Feng Yuxiang. How could his small "Suppressing Song Army" be his opponent?  So he simply announced his resignation.

    Most of the warlords in the Republic of China had a tacit understanding: as long as they are powered on and go to power, no matter how big the mistakes made by their predecessors, they will be undone. This is also like a "hidden rule" in politics. Everyone seems to think that killing prisoners is unlucky. In order to show their own "discipline"  "Image, and generally don't have the habit of beating up drowned dogs.

    Like Duan Qirui¡¯s three ups and downs in history, Chiang Kai-shek¡¯s three downs and three ups are all one example.  The warlords from all over the world showed their kindness and honor to the people in the field, and rarely harmed them.

    There were three rare exceptions, but the initiators did not end well: Xu Shuzheng, who killed Lu Jianzhang in official history, was eventually killed by Lu Jianzhang's son, Lu Chengwu; Zhang Zongchang, who killed and captured Zheng Jinsheng, was also shot dead by his son Zheng Jicheng; and another great warlord, Sun Chuanfang, beheaded his prisoner Shi Congbin.  , and was later avenged by Shi Nu.

    "However, although Zhang Hanqing would not kill them all, he did not want to leave him a chance to stand up.  Liu Zhenhua had just left, and he was about to integrate all the "Suppressing Song Army" and appointed Yu Youren, the former commander-in-chief of the "Jingguo Army" and a famous Kuomintang veteran in later generations, as the governor of Shaanxi Province.

    The overall situation of Shaanxi has been decided.

    But underneath this peace, there is a subtle disharmony.  This feeling of disharmony became stronger and stronger as Zhang Hanqing entered northern Shaanxi.

    The reason is that Shaanxi has been under the control of the Anhui clique for a long time. It has experienced the eras of the National Guard Army, the Zhensong Army, the Shaanxi Aid Army, and the Zhili Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xiangwen, Wu Xintian and other guest armies. It is not cold to foreign troops; the original Yingguo Army  Under the influence of the Kuomintang, although they benefited from the Northwest Army, they did not change their surnames from the bottom up. The main person in charge still leaned towards the Kuomintang.

    Zhang Hanqing¡¯s solution is to reuse your right hand.

    Yu Youren was born in the Kuomintang and had a well-established background.  Holding him in high esteem will help stabilize the Kuomintang forces in Shaanxi.  In addition, he has done a lot to pay attention to people's livelihood and stabilize the situation.It also enjoys high prestige in Shaanxi Province and the "Jingguo Army".  The People's Army has spread out too much and is really not sure that it can firmly control so many territories. Relying on these "surrendering troops and generals" (Zhang Zuolin's words) is a last resort.

    Under the influence of Mr. Yu who is loyal to Sun Yat-sen, it is not impossible for the "Jingguo Army" to rebel, but only after the Kuomintang gains power.  At present, there is no party group that has the appeal and influence of the People's Party.

    As for the "Jingguo Army" breaking away and entering Anhui, that is absolutely impossible - Sun Yixian and Duan Qirui are "world enemies".  According to official history, the Kuomintang really gained power after the "Northern Expedition" in 1927. Before that, Zhang Hanqing was confident that he could overcome this crisis by strengthening his military strength.

    What Zhang Hanqing needs now is stability.

    With several provinces being conquered in such a short period of time, there will be no capable personnel to control each place for a while, so maintaining the original administration and management is the right thing to do.  Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it took seven years for the Communist Party to carry out neo-democratic transformation before entering socialism, let alone the chaotic administrative power of "you stop the war and I will come in" during the war?

    But our young marshal obviously doesn¡¯t care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, and he doesn¡¯t even care about people from other camps ¡°stealing high positions.¡±  As long as someone can make the occupied area politically stable and economically prosperous, and can provide continuous power support for his military operations, or at least no more chaos will occur that requires military resources to be occupied.

    The longer the time goes, the more beneficial it is to him. He doesn¡¯t believe that the People¡¯s Party¡¯s united front force can¡¯t deal with the Yingguo Army, which is far from forming a ¡°party army¡±.  It is undeniable that prominent figures such as Yu Youren and Hu Jingyi are deeply influenced by Sun Yat-sen, but this is not the case for all grassroots soldiers and officers. I believe that belief in the People's Party will definitely be more attractive than the Kuomintang in the future.

    What needs attention is the aid to the Shaanxi Army.

    Xu Lanzhou was originally a hero of his generation. After leaving the Northeast, the world suddenly became wider, and he became the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi aid army and became prosperous.  He has worked so hard that he now controls two brigades of soldiers and horses. The "Yingguo Army" and "Shaanxi Aid Headquarters" soldiers and horses are combined into one, forming a huge force. How can he be willing to rely on others again?

    Although the Northwest People's Army appears to be in control of the overall situation, because the "Three Horses" in the northwest have just surrendered, some troops need to be guarded in Gansu. Only two divisions can actually enter Shaanxi. It is difficult to suppress these two main armies.

    It was at this time that the role of the People¡¯s Party¡¯s united front principle truly emerged.  Use united front against potential enemies or friends, and win over your own people. Zhang Hanqing has already set his sights on Xu Lanzhou.

    No matter how difficult it is, we must do it. There is no other way. Who allowed his power to expand so quickly?  After controlling the 5th Division and acquiring nearly 20,000 people as the main force of the "Jingguo Army", Xu Lanzhou suddenly became a powerful faction again. This was another rise for him after four years.  Who knows if this king of Heilongjiang Province, who was once on par with Zhang Zuolin, might have different thoughts?  Will he be willing to obey Zhang Hanqing's orders?

    In addition, as a balance for the Zhili clique¡¯s army to withdraw from Shaanxi, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu also need to take a measure that can convince the voices within the faction. The reason is that the original negotiation was to divide Shaanxi province equally between the two families, and the Zhili clique must show its existence.

    Since the Zhili army has withdrawn from Shaanxi, the army in Shaanxi cannot be dominated by the Northwest People's Army. That is, the adapted original "Jingguo Army" must be supervised by someone from the Zhili party.  However, for Zhang Hanqing, who is confident that he has Shaanxi in his pocket, how can he allow Zhili to add sand to his territory?

    For this matter, Zhili and Fengtian sent telegrams back and forth several times.  Cao and Wu did not dare to challenge the Feng clan rashly, but the Feng clan did not dare to cause trouble at this time, because the Zhang family and his son were also not ready.

    It was the middle of winter, and the weather was freezing.  Whether it is the Zhili Army that is about to leave, the defeated Anhui Army waiting to be incorporated, the "Jingguo Army", the "Suppressing Song Army" or the "Shaanxi Aid Army", everyone is watching the actions of this young marshal, trying to follow  The trend in Shaanxi can be found in his words and deeds.  Yes, it is already cold enough in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and if another cold wind blows, it will kill someone!

    In order to completely solve this problem, at the suggestion of the Marshal, representatives from all parties will gather in Xi'an to discuss in detail the reorganization of the various armies, and also to finalize the political layout of Shaanxi Province in the post-Anhui clique era.  It is said that this young marshal boldly said that as long as the original "Jingguo Army" accepted the reorganization, he would even allow it to form an army alone and organize it into the 6th Division of the Northwest People's Army. He even decided on the candidate for the division commander, which was the former commander-in-chief Hu Jingyi  .

    Zhang Hanqing¡¯s sincerity cannot be said to be insufficient, and his temptation cannot be said to be too great.  Not only that, he also left the territory of the People's Army and personally went to Xi'an to discuss the funeral arrangements with various people.  In fact, with his current status and strength, why would he need to take this risk?  As the patrol envoy of Shaanxi and Gansu, he really ordered all parties to hold a meeting at the People's Army camp. Are he still afraid that some people will not go?

    At this time, Xi'an City was stationed by the former "Jingguo Army" forces headed by Yu Youren. Zhang Hanqing came here to sign the "Alliance Under the City", which in itself was a sign of sincerity.  It is said that the young marshal only took a guard battalion with him, and entered the city with light clothes and angry horses.  For the young marshal's courage, he is worthy of respect.

    Because of his leading role, leaders from all walks of life have also followed up. Based on this sincerity, it is very exciting to form a positive resolution.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The former "Jingguo Army" force headed by Zhang Hanqing came here to sign the "Alliance Under the City", which in itself is a sign of sincerity.  It is said that the young marshal only took a guard battalion with him, and entered the city with light clothes and angry horses.  For the young marshal's courage, he is worthy of respect.
