In the early days of the Republic of China, most of the political struggles between various factions were gentlemen's battles. The victors were very lenient to the losers. Whether it was in terms of political differences or military competition, once the other party gave in and resigned, it was basically forgettable. This is because
A major feature of the Republic of China is also the traditional embodiment of Chinese literati Confucianism. Except for some revolutionaries who are keen on assassinations, everyone silently follows this code and never exceeds it. This is why Zhang Xun did not struggle to the death after knowing the failure, but
The main reason for proactively proposing to step down.
Although Fang Zida is an alternative, he is not opposed to this method of political struggle. Although he killed Lin Hu in the past, what Lin Hu did was indeed a way to kill himself, and it was just a matter of law in the military.
It looks different from Zhang Xun and others. Of course, Fang Zida has no idea of killing all Zhang Xun today. Without military power, Zhang Xun is equivalent to a tiger without teeth, so it is not impossible to let him go.
Seeing that Zhang Xun had misunderstood what he meant, Fang Zida quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Shaoxuan has misunderstood. The situation in Europe is tense now, and a war will break out at any time. Besides, brother Shaoxuan is old, so it may not be appropriate to travel long distances. As for that moment,
In an apartment, it is certainly good to relax at home, plant grass, raise flowers, and rest your mind and cultivate your character. If you don’t have Brother Xuan’s character, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the loneliness after a long time, right? Zida just asked casually, if you don’t have
If Brother Xuan really wants to go abroad or become an apartment owner, that is certainly possible, but from what Zida has seen, if Brother Shaoxuan has a better choice, it’s not a bad idea.”
Hearing what Fang Zida said, Zhang Xun's expression softened: "Then tell me, besides these, what else can a person like me, Old Zhang, do?"
"Nowadays, the Central Military Academy lacks a large number of qualified teachers. Brother Shaoxuan has led troops for many years. He is a senior in the army and has rich practical experience. If possible, Zida hopes that Brother Shaoxuan can go north to serve in the military academy. In addition, Zida also heard that Brother Shaoxuan was born in a poor family.
After becoming famous, he has done many philanthropic deeds, donated money to guild halls, and supported poor students and poor people many times. Whenever a major disaster strikes, he also uses food money to help victims, orphans and widows? "
Seeing Zhang Xun nod, Fang Zida continued: "If Brother Shaoxuan doesn't want to go to the military academy, you can retire and engage in charity or something. It's better than being an apartment owner in the concession, right?"
Zhang Xun was silent for a long time and sighed: "Thank you, brother Zhang Ming. I, Old Zhang, will not go to the military academy. How can I, a defeated general, teach students? I can only mislead others. As for what brother Zhang Ming said.
I'm somewhat interested in charity matters, but I don't know how to arrange it?"
Seeing that Zhang Xun agreed, Fang Zida smiled and revealed his plan to ask Zhang Xun to serve as a provincial councilor in Jiangsu, mainly to assist the provincial government in charity relief and other work.
Zhang Xun thought for a while and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Besides, there is something I would like Brother Shaoxuan to do for me."
"It's okay to just say it."
Fang Zida first looked at Tang Yiming, and then said: "I just said that the Central Military Academy lacks a large number of qualified teachers, and at the same time it lacks experienced basic instructors. Brother Shaoxuan has a lot of talents. If there is a suitable one,
Can anyone recommend anything?"
Looking at Fang Zida with squinted eyes, Zhang Xun suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay! Okay! As expected of Fang Zhangming! It's not unfair for me, Old Zhang, to lose to you. Xiao Tang! You go talk to Xiao Wei and others.
As I said, Lao Zhang, you all don’t have to follow me. Go to Beijing and make a career as an instructor at the Central Military Academy or something like that. It’s better than living with a bad old man like me."
"Commander...!" Tang Yiming's expression changed, and just as he was about to dissuade him, Zhang Xun waved his hand to stop him: "No need to say more, since you still call me Commander, just obey my last order, except for those who continue to stay in the army.
Officers, you all are going to the Central Military Academy in Beijing. As for me, from now on I will put down my butcher knife and become a Buddha. Am I still afraid of something happening?"
Tang Yiming's eyes turned red when he heard that, and he pursed his lips for a long time before saying yes in front of him. Seeing that Tang Yiming listened to his words, Zhang Xun felt relieved, stood up and walked slowly into the house with his hands behind his back, chanting as he walked:
"I built a thatched cottage deep in the white clouds, and retreated to Hengmen and the common people. A hole in the morning smoke left the water, and the spring dew fell all over the courtyard. I leisurely watched the bamboo islets and chanted the crescent moon, and specially drank mountain mash and read ancient books. I spent all my time doing nothing but external affairs.
Haoran's vitality brings joy to the woodcutter and fisherman..."
Looking at Zhang Xun's retreating back, Fang Zida felt infinite emotion in his heart. This controversial figure who had played a significant role in history has finally withdrawn from the stage of history. Today, Fang Zida's goal has been achieved. Regardless of Zhang Xun,
No matter how much you care about the past dynasty in the future, it will no longer have any impact on the future historical trajectory.
For a person like Zhang Xun, Fang Zida is not sure about letting him go abroad, let alone letting him hide in the concession to find an apartment. If this is the case, there are too many variables, and it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not try to make Zhang Xun make a comeback.
Although the two plans proposed by Fang Zida were said to be much better than Zhang Xun's plan to go abroad and live in an apartment, in fact, once Zhang Xun made this choice, it would be the end of the world.
Zhang Xun was a smart man. He sized up the situation and chose the path that Fang Zida wanted most. He also generously sent out his close associates and made his attitude clear.
After solving Zhang Xun's problem, Fang Zida was in a good mood. A few days later, the Ministry of National Defense officially issued a plan to reorganize the Shandong Armed Guards and Tian Zhongyu's patrol battalions. According to Fang Zida's proposal, the Armed Guards and patrol battalions will be merged and reorganized into the National Defense Forces Army.
The establishment of the 15th Division is based on the structure of the 8th Division. Wang Xiaozhen, deputy commander of the 8th Division, was transferred to the commander of the 15th Division, and Wu Peifu, chief of staff, took over as deputy commander of the 8th Division. At the same time, Zheng Shiqi, former commander of the 5th Division, was transferred
, the Second Division Battalion Commander Lu Xiangting and others joined the 15th Division.
The new 15th Division will be stationed in Shandong. During the reorganization period of the 15th Division, the two regiments of the 8th Division will temporarily garrison on behalf of the 15th Division. According to Fang Zida's plan, these two divisions will be expanded into an army in the future. For the troops,
He reached out to the central government to ask for a large number of basic officer personnel, most of whom were graduates of military schools.
Fang Zida reorganized the 8th Division in Nanjing, reorganized the manufacturing bureau in Shanghai, held an investment meeting, went north to annex Shandong Tan Zhongyu, Zhang Xun and other troops, and established the 15th Army Division... This series of actions shocked the whole of China.
.Especially the governors in the southwest region shouted "terrible" at the huge changes in Jiangsu and Shandong, and were even more frightened by the central government's determination to reorganize the National Defense Forces. Compared with Zhang Xun's braided army, these governors in the southwest provinces simply
They are just a bunch of scum, not even Tanaka Tama's troops are as good as they are. Calling them warlords is still flattering, but really they are no better than bandits.
Take Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places as an example. The combat effectiveness of these troops called local divisions is extremely poor. Coupled with the military leaders who can only shout slogans for revolution without any construction ability, they have to scrape the ground in order to raise wages and raise troops.
Not to mention, they were fighting for territory for three days and a half. But what’s even more ridiculous is that these people fought as if they were playing house, each sending thousands of soldiers and horses to get into positions and shoot at each other for a long time.
After a burst of artillery fire, no one was killed on both sides. Moreover, the common people often became very happy after hearing the news of another war. They quickly called their friends and carried small benches to the mountains, cracking melon seeds and drinking tea, and sat there lively.
Watch the "Battle at the foot of the mountain".
If they are not famous on the battlefield, the military leaders will simply decide the outcome by pushing Pai Gow-One in private. This method is really ridiculous. The so-called king's flag changes on the city wall, you sing and I will appear. Central National Defense
The establishment of the Ministry of Defense and the reorganization of the National Defense Force were not a big deal to them at first. They even made fun of Yuan Shikai, Song Jiaoren and others in private because they were full and had nothing to do.
A few months later, they suddenly discovered to their horror that if things continued like this, it might be their turn to be punished. They quickly ceased the war and ceased the war. They used their talents to send people to the central government to inquire about information, and asked people to build relationships and put in good words.
There were also rumors spread all over the capital that Fang Zida was arrogant and was trying to build up his own troops to compete with the central government, in an attempt to dispel the central government's idea of reorganizing the armies of the southwestern provinces.
Although Fang Zida has a special status. He is Yuan Shikai's son-in-law and an important figure in KMT. However, after rumors are told a thousand times, some people will always think it is true. No matter how much Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren trust Fang Zida, they will inevitably not be able to withstand the nagging of the people below.
Nao, as time went by, I felt that he seemed to have more power now. Half a month later, Beijing sent a telegram asking Fang Zida to come to Beijing to report on his work. When he received the telegram, Fang Zida was visiting Qingdao. After briefly reading the telegram, he realized
He smiled and handed the telegram to an old man sitting opposite.
