Peace has become the mainstream, and reunification is expected by all parties. Many people¡¯s idea of ??unifying China by force seems unrealistic. Under the voice of public opinion, the Zhili and Fengcheng factions began negotiations to form a new government.
Wu Peifu insists on "nationalizing the military."
In his opinion, the People's Army under the control of the Fengtian People's Party is also a manifestation of local forces and is inconsistent with the principle of a government. Therefore, the conditions for forming a new government are that all parties hand over their troops, and then elect the president of the country through party competition, form a government, and unify military and government orders. This statement has been advocated by many enlightened people who were influenced by Britain and the United States.
He deliberately advocated the war just because of the current situation, the difference in strength between the Zhizhi and Fengcheng armies was too big.
The Feng army from the north and the People's Army from the northwest and south have surrounded the Zhili clique. Militarily speaking, the Zhili clique has been surpassed by the Feng clique. Politically and economically, they are no match for the Feng army. The only feasible way is to " nationalization of the military.¡±
??We will hand over the troops at hand to the country, and then compete together to become the head of state. With our own strength in Beijing for many years, we are at least as good as Zhang Zuolin politically. His wishful thinking was based on the assumption that Zhang Zuolin would definitely disagree with this, and the moral advantage would fall to his side.
Under the huge power of the Feng Clan, which possesses the right time and location, they suddenly have to hand over their military power to participate in some uncertain "presidential election". The top military and political leaders of the Feng Clan are very dissatisfied with this, as are Zhang Zuolin and others. Even experienced veterans such as Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang All Fengjun veterans said it was difficult to agree.
There are two ideas within Fengjun: one is "fight": Fengjun and the People's Army have an absolute advantage in military strength, and the victory is guaranteed to defeat the Zhili clique. Fengjun directly controls the Beijing government, and Zhang Zuolin personally forms the cabinet. . Some senior military and political officials even had the idea of ????taking over the world and encouraged Zhang Zuolin to unify China by force.
This group of people are old generals from the Northeast, headed by Wu Junsheng, Ma Longtan, Yu Zhen, Xing Shilian, etc.
Another idea is "drag": to defeat the enemy without fighting, as the strength of the Fengzhi and Zhili sides ebb and flow, given time, they will be able to bring down the Zhili clique with a large advantage. As for Sun Yat-sen, because his territory has been lost, he is basically not considered as a political opponent.
This is a bloodless, peaceful and relatively prudent method. It is favored by a large number of people in the Feng clan, mainly Zhang Zuoxiang, Jiang Dengxuan, Ji Jinchun, Zhang Jinghui, Ding Chao and others. In this way, the position of president must belong to Zhang Zuolin, and those who control China's political situation are still people from the Feng clique.
This is the model of nation-building that most people believe in.
Very fortunately and wisely, Zhang Zuolin still chose to ask Zhang Hanqing about his attitude. In his heart, this eldest son is not only the future successor, but also the "Zhuge" in his heart.
After many years of experience in leading troops and governing, he fully recognized Zhang Hanqing's extraordinary strategic vision and ability to grasp the overall situation.
At this time, Sun Yat-sen fled to Shanghai to avoid disaster, so that the Southern National Government actually no longer existed. Historically, Sun Yat-sen would not come back until next year with the help of the Guangxi clique and other forces, but Zhang Hanqing had already conquered Guangdong in advance, fundamentally cutting off the possibility of Sun Yat-sen's comeback.
In the official history, the Zhili and Fengtian factions fought hard for this, and the Fengtian faction also suffered a defeat in the first Zhili-Fengtian war. But now, no more
It was under this circumstance that Zhang Hanqing lost no time in proposing that he should use this opportunity to advocate a peace negotiation between the North and the South and establish a coalition government composed of the Zhizhi, Feng, Anhui and Southwest warlords as well as Sun Yixian, at least in form. The unification of China, and then each one relying on its strength to compete for various positions in the central government - originally a hot topic for the northern government | became feasible due to this incident.
After receiving the young marshal's advice, only Sun Liechen and Guo Songling turned to support Zhang Hanqing.
With his understanding of history and his own practice in recent years, Zhang Hanqing already has a clear understanding of the general trend. He held consecutive People¡¯s Party Politburo meetings on the 8th, 9th and 10th to express his opinions: ¡°At the beginning, Yuan Shikai¡¯s power was at its peak, and even Mr. Sun Yat-sen had to surrender.
But, he made a wrong move, he ignored or underestimated one thing, so he prospered and died suddenly. This thing is popularity.
Since the founding of the Republic of China, European and American civilizational thoughts have surged in, the trend of dishonesty has become increasingly popular, and the power of public opinion has reached the highest level in history, and this is just the beginning. This kind of popular situation is like a flood, which can only be used to divert incentives, but cannot reverse the situation. The May 4th Movement thoroughly demonstrated the huge influence of workers and students.
But only Mr. Sun saw this trend, so he was able to mobilize the masses and use his unarmed body to create a country.The Bayan Obo rare earth mine, the world's largest, dared not expand its operations and wisely rejected calls to expand production after achieving an annual output of 300,000 tons of steel.
The iron ore producing areas in East China are mainly Aoshan, Nanshan, Gushan, Taochong, Meishan, Fenghuangshan and other mines from Wuhu, Anhui Province to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Zhang Hanqing established an iron and steel company in Ma'anshan after pacifying Anhui. , 200,000 tons of iron were produced that year, which played a vital role in setting the historical record of China's iron output exceeding 3 million tons by the end of 1922.
Because the Hanyeping Coal and Iron Company is completely controlled by the Fengtian clique, the steel plants built in Tangshan and Lanzhou have gradually approached the scale of Northeast China. Therefore, 91% of China's iron production and 92% of steel production are concentrated in provinces under the control of the Fengcheng clique. middle.
The fact that Feng Xiu has so much strength and strength in calling for the establishment of a united government fully demonstrates his willingness for peace, at least in terms of public opinion, to make his sincerity for serving the country felt at home and abroad.
