Chapter 74: Diangui turned his face

On October 10, 1919, the 8th anniversary of the Wuchang Uprising, the "Notice" and "The Rules of the Chinese Revolutionary Party" were officially issued in the name of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, declaring that the Chinese Revolutionary Party was rebuilt into the Chinese Revolutionary Party. The word "China" was added to the name of the party to show that it was different from the Chinese Revolutionary Party in 1912, and the rules of the Chinese Revolutionary Party were announced. Sun Dapao was naturally elected as Prime Minister.

Shortly after that, the domestic situation changed. The Guangzhou military government, which was stolen by Cen Chunxuan, Lu Rongting and others, had conflicts and struggles between the Guangxi and Yunnan armies. On February 10, 1920, an armed conflict occurred between the two armies stationed in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. Tang Jiyao, Wu Tingfang, Lin Sen and others announced that they had left the military government and transferred to Shanghai through Hong Kong. Many members of the parliament also left Guangdong and went to Shanghai for dissatisfaction with the Guangxi military. There were more than 300 members of the parliament who arrived in Shanghai at once, and issued a joint declaration denied the Guangzhou military government.

For Zhong Yang and his group who were still staying in Guangzhou, the armed conflict between the two armies of Yunnan and Guangxi can be said to have happened in front of them. The main leaders of the two armies only blamed and insulted each other at the beginning, but later the situation began to escalate towards the situation of armed confrontation. The Yunnan and Guangxi regime began large-scale firefights and armed battles outside the city, which seriously affected the public security and economic conditions in the Guangzhou area. In the chaos, many gangsters and gangsters in the city also took advantage of the situation to rob and disturb the people with the riots. Zhong Yang and his friends' industries in the local area were also repeatedly attacked. Fortunately, there was a security team with live ammunition, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

In fact, Li Genyuan was oppressed by Chen Shufan during his tenure as governor of Shaanxi in 1916, and the root cause of all this chaos had been laid. After Li Genyuan was forced to leave Shaanxi, he moved to Shanghai. At that time, there were two roads in front of him, one road to Beijing to join Duan Qirui, and the other road to Guangdong to participate in the law protection government. He was not a Beiyang faction, so of course he would not choose to go north. Guangzhou lure him because first: he is a political and academic department, Guangzhou is very congress, and the political and academic department is a majority; secondly, there is a Yunnan army in Guangdong. If he arrives in Guangdong, he will have the chance to capture the Yunnan army.

Li Genyuan, whose courtesy name was Yinquan, was from Tengyue, Yunnan. He graduated from a Japanese non-commissioned officer with a face full of pockmarks and called himself Li Damazi. He was a powerful artist. His political means were comparable to Xu Shuzheng at that time. It is said that his journey from Shanghai to Hong Kong to Guangzhou was extremely vivid. After he arrived in Guangzhou, he had to work hard on three people, one was Sun Dapao, the second was Cen Chunxuan, and the third was Mo Rongxin.

He went to see Cen first, Cen was the chief president of the military government and the leader of the political science department. When Li went to see Cen, he wore a blue shirt and jacket, and had a pair of tripping shoes. He looked old-fashioned. When he saw Cen, he knelt down and bowed to him, saying, "The root cause is indifferent, and it is difficult to travel in Shaanxi. This time, he came to Guangdong and was willing to drive in the same way." Then he analyzed the general trend, including the three strategies of pacifying Fujian, conquering Hunan, and meeting the Central Plains, and said Cen Chunxuan with a smile. From then on, Li Genyuan became Cen's important military advisor.

Then he changed his suit to meet Sun Yat-sen, and tried to attend the Tongmenghui himself and devoted himself to the revolution. This time, he was hit in Shaanxi because he opposed the warlord Chen Shufan, who was not revolutionary. Now he has no choice but to come to Guangzhou to follow the revolution. Sun trusts every comrade, and Li Genyuan is no exception.

Finally, he wore a military uniform to meet Guangdong Governor Mo Rongxin. When talking about the command of the Yunnan Army in Guangdong, he believed that it was unreasonable for Yunnan Governor Tang Jiyao to command this Yunnan Army in a long time, and it was not in line with the real needs. It should be commanded by Rong's army, that is, Mo Rongxin. After hearing this, Mo Rongxin looked at this Yunnan man from Shaanxi with admiration and attracted him as a confidant. Li Genyuan contacted three military presidents in Guangzhou, and all won their favor, especially Mo Rongxin, who is a powerful faction. Soon he published Li Genyuan as the Guangdong-Jiangxi-Hunan border defense supervision to control the Yunnan Army in Beijiang.

Look at the IQ and power struggle of Brother Taiwan, how many people dare to say that they can be more skilled than him? But so what? Without the strength and the concept that I can stick to for, everything is nothing more than castles in the air and mirrors.

The Dian Army was led by Li Liejun to Guangdong when he protected the country and attacked Yuan in 1916, and has been staying in Guangdong since then. After the establishment of the military government, Li Liejun served as the chief of staff and still commanded the Yunnan Army. This Yunnan Army had two divisions, the number was the Fourth Division of the Third Division. The commander of the Third Division was Zhang Kairu, and the commander of the Fourth Division was Fang Shengtao. The defense zone of the Dian Army was originally placed in Beijiang. Shortly after the establishment of the military government, Fang Shengtao, the commander of the Fourth Division, led his troops to move to Xijiang, and there was only the first division of the Third Division in Beijiang. In May 7, Zhang Kairu was dismissed by Mo Rongxin because of his tendency to revolutionary party, and was sent by Tang Jiyao to succeed as the division commander.

The conflict between the Yunnan Army was dual leadership, and was systematically under the command of the Yunnan Governor, but in essence it was under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Governor. Because Li Liejun was a revolutionary party, he took good care of the revolutionaries in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hong Kong. Therefore, he was not welcomed by Mo Rongxin. Therefore, Li Genyuan's lobbying easily moved Mo Rongxin.

Tang Jiyao heard that Li Genyuan was appointed as the Guangdong Army Governor's border defense supervisor by the Guangxi Army's Guangdong Army, and was very worried. Tang knew Li's methods and was afraid that this Yunnan army would become Li's political capital after being controlled by Li. But he could not object or stop it, so he added Li Genyuan as the commander of the Sixth Army of the Jingguo Alliance. Jing** is different from the Guardians. Protecting the country is to fight against Yuan, and Jingguo is to protect the law. On the other hand, Tang secretly notified Zhang Kairu, the commander of the Yunnan Army stationed in Beijiang, and asked him to deal with Li Genyuan carefully.

Li Genyuan went to Shaoguan to take care of the affairs. He gathered in the Yunnan military training session. On the podium, he slapped himself twice, and then said to the officers and soldiers of the Yunnan army in a sincere and repentant tone: "Genyuan is sorry for his hometown, sorry for his elders and brothers. This time he failed in Shaanxi, I reviewed myself. I deeply felt that I was too bad in life and work, and I was especially sorry for the elders of my hometown. Now I came to Beijiang with a heart of atonement. Please work with peace of mind. I will not mobilize every officer or soldier at will." His words moved every officer and soldier of the Yunnan army. Everyone was originally wary of Li Damazi, but after his words, they completely explained that he had changed after the battle in Shaanxi.

In fact, Li Genyuan wanted to capture the Yunnan Army step by step. His actions certainly aroused Li Liejun's disgust. The second Li was in Japan.

He was a classmate, and later he was a comrade in Yunnan during the Battle of Protecting the Country. He was a very good friend, just to compete for this Yunnan army.

If interests cannot be distributed reasonably and are unwilling to use negotiations to solve problems, it will eventually plant the root cause of future division.

In the autumn of 1919, Zhang Ji, a veteran of the Revolutionary Party, arrived in Kunming. Zhang Ji supported Li Liejun, so he set fire in front of Tang Jiyao. Zhang said: "Because Li Genyuan intervened, the army stationed in Guangdong and Yunnan became the political capital of the Guangxi clan and Li Genyuan's personal."

At this time, Tang Jiyao's Yunnan Army had both in Sichuan and Guangdong, and was fighting against the Sichuan Army in Sichuan. The Yunnan Army on the battlefield did not have enough troops, and Gu Pinzhen, the commander of the Yunnan Army stationed in Sichuan, was not loyal to Tang. Tang suspected that there was a collusion between Gu Pinzhen and Li Genyuan, so it was difficult to control the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong, so it was better to transfer the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong back to Yunnan.

On February 3 this year, the Guangxi Army took action. Guangdong Gangxin ordered Li Genyuan to take Zheng Kaiwen and Jingguo, commander of the Third Division of the Yunnan Army.

Yang Jin, chief of staff of the 6th Army of the Alliance, exchanged the transfer. The purpose of this transfer was to transfer the division commander directly appointed by the Yunnan Army from the army and send a person who had nothing to do with Tang Jiyao to receive military power. This was obviously the first step for the Guangxi Army to swallow the Yunnan Army.

Mo Rongxin changed the commander of the Yunnan Army without seeking Tang Jiyao's consent in advance, which made Tang very angry, that is, on February 8,

On the 10th, two orders were issued: Li Genyuan was removed from his post as the commander of the Sixth Army of the National Alliance, and Li was appointed as the representative of Yunnan to participate in the military government construction meeting. At the same time, he stated that the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong was directly commanded by the Yunnan Governor and was handled by Li Jun, the Minister of Staff, nearby. This is a wonderful thing. The Yunnan Governor supported a Jiangxi surname Li, and against the Guangdong Governor supported a Yunnan surname Li. The Yunnan and Guangxi divisions were separated due to the command of the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong.

The Dian Army in Beijiang originally had two divisions, namely the Third Division and the Fourth Division. Since Fang Shengtao's troops of the Fourth Division were transferred to Xijiang and reorganized into the "Aiding Fujian Army", the Dian Army in Beijiang established a new Fourth Division, with Zhu Peide from Yunnan as the division commander, maintaining the original organization and number of the Fourth Division. Due to historical relations, the generals of the Dian Army were willing to obey Li Liejun from Jiangxi and opposed Li Genyuan from Yunnan.

When Yang Jin took over as the commander of the Third Division on February 11, the generals of the Yunnan Army secretly agreed that in order to oppose the Guangxi Army devouring the Yunnan Army, they plotted to detain Li Genyuan and openly opposed the Guangxi Army. It was just because Zhu Peide was a student of Li Genyuan, so he deliberately let the teacher escape and escaped back to Guangzhou without being detained.

On February 13, the commander of the Yunnan Army, Zhu Peide, brigade commander Yang Yiqian, Lu Zicai and others sent telegrams against Mo Rongxin's order to transfer the third division commander. At the same time, the original commander of the third division, Zheng Kaiwen, and the commander of the brigade commander Sheng Rongchao, Lu Zicai, Zhu Peide, and the commander of the Fourth Division, Zhang Huaixin, and Yang Yiqian, jointly issued a telegram, expressing that he was willing to follow the orders of the Tang Governor."

Before Li Genyuan returned to Guangzhou, he resigned from the commander of the Sixth Army of the Jingguo Alliance and supervised the military affairs of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Hunan border defense. After the Yunnan Army resisted the order of the Guangxi Army, it shocked the military government in Guangzhou because the Yunnan Army not only had strong combat power, but also symbolized Yunnan's support for the military government. Now it is a serious matter for the military government to openly rebel. In particular, the Guangxi Army believes that this nail has hit too much, which seriously affected their dominance in Guangdong.

On February 14, Mo Rongxin ordered the condolence to stay Li Genyuan, and at the same time, the new commander of the Third Division, Yang Jin, the commander of the Fifth Brigade, Sheng Rongchao, the commander of the Seventh Brigade, Zhang Huaixin, the commander of the 2nd Brigade, and Yang Yiqian, the commander of the 20th Brigade, opposed Li Genyuan's removal. In fact, this telegram was listed as a general of the Guangxi Army to strengthen his momentum. For example, Yang Yiqian did not support Li Genyuan.

Mo Rongxin believed that supporting Li Genyuan was to strengthen the status of the Guangxi clique. Now that Li Genyuan was forced to leave by the Yunnan army, he had to support him with practical strength, so he dispatched troops. From February 14 to 16, the Guangxi clique's army went north and prepared to take a strong threatening attitude towards the Yunnan army.

On the 16th, Mo Rongxin issued a telegram: "All the two divisions of the Yunnan Army stationed in Beijiang, Guangdong should still be controlled by Supervisor Li Yuanyuan." At the same time, it was officially stated: "The military pay and ordnance of the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong are provided by Guangdong, so this army has always been under the jurisdiction of this Supervisor, and will continue to be the same in the future."

On the 21st, Li Genyuan reinstated his post. On the 23rd, Mo Rongxin was the dual identity of Guangdong Governor and Military Minister of the Military Government.

The number of the Third Fourth Second Division of the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong and was reorganized into three brigades and three ** regiments of the Border Defense Army. This method is simple

It's just a flippant with Yunnan.

On February 24, Li Liejun, who was full of grievance, found Cen Chunxuan in the military government. Li asked Cen: "The Guangxi faction wants to swallow the Yunnan army stationed in Guangdong, why should the military government agree? Mo Rongxin's order is obviously unreasonable, so why should the military government agree to it?" Cen Chunxuan hesitated and Li Liejun was very dissatisfied with it, so he made an excuse to inspect Beijiang's defense, left Guangzhou, and prepared to gather the Yunnan army in Beijiang to resist the adaptation.

On the same day, Li Genyuan returned to Shaoguan from Guangzhou with the support of the Guangxi clique and advised the Yunnan Army to accept the adaptation. On the 26th, Tang Jiyao sent a telegram to Li Liejun to instruct the officers and soldiers of the Third Division of the Yunnan Army to arrest the new division commander Yang Jin and rectify the law on the spot.

The Yunnan Army split, and some of the people who stayed in Shaoguan obeyed Li Genyuan's orders, and most of them were concentrated from Shaoguan to Shixing, and accepted Li Liejun's call to resist the Guangxi clique. As a result, the situation in Guangzhou was very tense. The Guangxi clique announced martial law and the train on the Guangdong-Han Road stopped. On the 28th, on the 29th, Shen Hongying's troops of the Guangxi clique arranged combat tasks on Xinjie and Taiping City. Guangdong local soldiers Wei Bangping, Li Fulin and other troops also issued defenses under the strong pressure of the Guangxi clique. The dispute between Li Lie in Beijiang made Cen Chunxuan sleep and sleep, especially Li Liejun's departure, which made him feel that the problem was serious. Therefore, he sent Liu Deyu as the representative to chase Li Liejun along the way, asking Liu Deyu to do everything possible to persuade Li to return to Guangzhou.

On the 26th, Li Liejun arrived in Pingshan Town, Hua County and was about to set off for Yuantan. Liu Deyu, who had been chasing that day, also arrived in Hua County, but the two could not contact each other. On March 4, Li Liejun arrived in Hua County through many difficulties and received a telegram from the military government to send a special person to mediate. Li immediately expressed his willingness to accept the mediation.

Starting from early March, the Yunnan Army's pro-Li Liejun faction and the pro-Li Genyuan faction opened fire in Shaoguan and Shixing. The Yunnan Provincial Assembly, various groups in Yunnan and all officers in Yunnan successively issued telegrams to denounce Li Genyuan and oppose the adaptation, and expressed dissatisfaction with Mo Rongxin. Guangzhou accused Li Liejun, and the two sides launched a pen war after the gun battle. Under Cen Chunxuan's mediation, Mo Rongxin was willing to give in and did not abolish the name of the Yunnan Army. At the same time, Yang Yiqian, who was unwilling to accept the adaptation, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the First Army stationed in Jing**, and Lu Zicai was the deputy commander and moved to the Hunan border. The military pay was still under the responsibility of the military government, but it must be commanded by the military government.

The war in Beijiang stopped on March 25. On the 27th, Cen Chunxuan personally went to Shaoguan to welcome Li Liejun. Li promised to go from Shixing to Shaoguan to meet Cen and then return to Guangzhou together. On the 31st, Cen heard in Shaoguan that Wu Tingfang, one of the presidents of the military government, ran away from Guangzhou. He was shocked and did not wait for Li Liejun to arrive in Shaoguan, so he returned to Guangzhou first.

On April 2, Li Liejun arrived in Guangzhou, and Guangzhou had become a member of the Guangxi clique. Important figures of the revolutionary party, including members of the revolutionary party, had left Guangzhou. Li Po regretted that he should not have been thrown into the fire pit. Cen Chunxuan promised that the Yunnan army would transfer the funds and prevent them from cashing out. On April 13, Zhao Deyu, a subordinate of Li Genyuan, who was reorganized into the Second Brigade of the Border Defense Army, openly surrounded the General Staff, first launched a gun to demonstrate, and then searched. Deputy Chief of Staff Jiang Zungui resigned in anger. On the same day, the captain of the guard team entered the Gan Army headquarters to search. Both places were places that Li Liejun often visited, so Li Liejun felt extremely unsafe, so he ran to the Haizhu Naval Department for temporary retreat, secretly fled to Hong Kong on April 27, and from Hong Kong to Shanghai on May 13.

At this point, the Guangxi clan made enemies on all sides, and its ruling foundation in Guangdong was already shaky. Just when Chen Jiongming rushed to the south, he could only retreat to Guangxi, and even Guangxi could not be defended.

The cause of the whole thing was complicated and complicated, which made Zhong Yang and others dazzled. Finally, they had some insight into the warlords' internal struggle during this period. In terms of power struggle, Zhong Yang thought that their group of people could not be as good as any small leader in the Yunnan-Guizhou two-system, but even if they thought of people like them, they still had to step down in shame. Zhong Yang had to sigh that these warlord leaders were not not smart, but did not put their minds in the right place.

They are busy fighting all day long, and they are not a big deal. Not managing their own territory and team well, and trying to rely on some cleverness to win over and manage their subordinates is not a long-term solution. After this incident, Chen Ze and Liu Jinyang have completely lost the last bit of confidence in these local armed forces. However, they have also raised new questions about Zhong Yang's ideas.
