    It is not a good idea to attack and kill them head-on, especially the Gui Clan, which has a convenient location and works together.  I think that the Vietnamese Monkeys, who had a long history with Guangxi, relied on their advantageous geographical location to defeat France and drain the United States with extremely weak military power.

    The People's Army has long adopted a policy of dividing and transforming its troops in the four southwestern provinces. For the Guangxi and Guangxi cliques, the central government is planning to recruit them to surrender.

    The rise of the new Guangxi clique has only begun in recent years: in the tenth year of the Republic of China, Sun Yixian ordered the Guangdong army Chen Jiongming's troops to attack Guangxi, and the old Guangxi clique was on the verge of collapse.  The battalion commanders Li Zongren (De Lin), Bai Chongxi (Jian Sheng), and Huang Shaohong (Ji Kuan), together with the company commanders, relied on their judgment and response to the current situation and took advantage of the opportunity to become the leaders of Guangxi's military and political power in a few years.  The important officials immediately benefited from the melee between Lu Rongting and Shen Hongying of the old Feng faction. First, Lu Rongting was defeated, and then Shen Hongying was defeated.

    ??Subsequently, Li Zongren responded to Sun Yat-sen's call and joined the Guangdong National Government after the reunification of Guangxi.  However, when Sun Yixian was turned against Chen Jiongming and driven out of Guangdong by the People's Army, Li Zongren took the elimination of Shen's tribe as his biggest goal and wanted to use this as a basis to occupy Guangxi. He would make plans after the situation changed.

    As an important senior military and political general in modern Chinese history, Li Zongren had a turbulent life.  First, he served in the old department of Lu Rongting, and participated in the war against the dragon (Jiguang) to protect the Dharma in his early years.  In the ninth year of the Republic of China, when the remnants of the old Guangxi clique were fighting fiercely with the Guangdong army, the then battalion commander Li Zongren refused to go to Guangdong to accept recruitment, so he led his troops into the 60,000 Mountains.

    But because of the lack of wages, he sold his guns in exchange for wages (in Bai Chongxi's account, he sold the guns to buy clothes), which became a good story and was praised by everyone.  This was in sharp contrast to the old-style warlords. Li Zongren won a rare reputation in the early days, which helped him win over people's hearts as he opened up his own power.

    Li Delin respected Confucius and Mencius, believed in Confucianism, and attached great importance to benevolence and righteousness.  And he has a big heart.  This is obviously different from Chiang who likes to play tricks and tricks, and this has become a grudge between the two in official history.  In the early days of his early career, he extended a helping hand to Huang Jikuan who was in poverty and difficulties, and did not care about Huang Jikuan's poaching and taking away his two main players (Yu Zuobai and Wu Tingyang).

    Li Zongren also showed a rare calmness when the unruly Yu Zuobai attacked Ma Junwu (then governor) and actually killed Ma's concubine.  Li Zongren often said: "The failure of Hong Yang was not due to Zeng Zuo. Hong Yang's internal strife destroyed his career."

    Being able to turn the talented and domineering Huang Shaohong, and the resourceful and resourceful Bai Chongxi and Huang Xuchu into his own subordinates, without the decisive talent and magnanimity of killing and killing, he would definitely not be able to sit at the top of the Guangxi clan.  Bai Chongxi and Huang Shaohong were both subordinates of the Ma Xiaojun Model Battalion. Later, they moved to Li Zongren and jointly organized the "Dinggui Fighting Bandits Army". Li served as commander-in-chief, Huang as deputy commander-in-chief, and Bai served as chief of staff.

    The position of staff officer shows Bai Chongxi¡¯s identity as an elite and military strategist. In the famous Battle of Longtan in official history, Bai Chongxi¡¯s army fought hard and defeated Sun Chuanfang in one fell swoop.  Tan Yankai, then the head of the National Government, once wrote a couplet to Bai Chongxi: "If the commander is determined and can really do it, children who learn to speak will know their names." For a time, it was praised all over the world.

    That is to say, with the joint help of Bai Chongxi and others known as "Little Zhuge", Li Zongren finally eliminated Shen Hongying's power, Guilin recovered and unified Guangxi.  So much so that Shen Hongying lamented: "I, Shen Hongying, have led tens of thousands of troops across Guangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, and Jiangxi for more than ten years. No one has done anything to me. Unexpectedly, I was defeated today at the hands of a few boys who were former platoon leaders!"

    After the Guangxi forces represented by Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi controlled the entire territory of Guangxi, they repelled the Tang Jiyao tribe of the Yunnan Army who attempted to enter Guangxi. For a time, Guangxi's prestige was greatly shaken, and its voice in the four southwestern provinces also became unprecedentedly large.  If the central government can successfully persuade the Guangxi clique to surrender, it will have a great impact on the other three cliques.

    But from sitting on the prominent position of a prince to the possibility of handing over a gun and being slaughtered by others, are they willing?  Considering that these buddies are not willing to be inferior to others and have quite a few skills, I am afraid that there will be a fight between the two sides.

    Bai Chongxi, who has a "little Zhuge" background, is by no means in vain.  He performed outstandingly during the governance of Guangxi in the 1930s and during the Anti-Japanese War in history. At that time, when the country was in chaos and dilapidation, Guangxi had become a model province!  Litton, head of the League of Nations' Far East Investigation Team, praised: "If two provinces in China had done this, Japan would not have dared to invade Manchuria."

    Dr. Attenborough, the German Consul General in Guangdong, came to Guangxi to inspect business and praised: "What I saw along the way from Wu to Qi was that Guangxi was in good order and various construction projects had made significant progress."

    Japanese reporter Wada Ji sighed: "Guangxi has rugged terrain, a powerful army, famous generals, and the spirit of Greater Guangxiism. Whoever wants to ravage it willI dare say it is all in vain.  "

    Hu Shi, dean of the School of Liberal Arts at National Peking University, commented: ¡°The first good impression that Guangxi gave me was that there was no superstitious and reactionary atmosphere of loving the past; the second good impression that Guangxi gave me was the frugal atmosphere.  Entering Guangxi, everything is so-called "grey cloth"; the third good impression that Guangxi gave me is public security. There are only 17 regiments of soldiers in Guangxi, and there are 20,000 officers and soldiers in the company, which can be regarded as a reduction of troops.  , but there are no bandits in the province, and the people can enjoy the happiness of law and order."

    And although Bai Chongxi was domineering and resolute, he was able to lead by example.  He advocates the spirit of honesty and hard work. He usually wears a coarse gray military uniform with a belt around his waist, a gray cloth military cap, blue cloth shoes, and his feet are bound like a soldier's herringbone.  It was only because he wore a pair of rimless myopia glasses that he looked like a staff officer, otherwise he would have been a complete Gui Army soldier.

    He works more than ten hours a day and never gets tired.  Not only do they dress plainly, but they also eat very simple meals. They do not entertain guests or distinguished guests, and there are no banquets.  If his name had not been mentioned first and just read the historical introduction, many people would probably think of the Communist Party cadres of that era.

    He is an excellent soldier. It is said that during the peace talks, even Mao Zedong once commented: "Bai Chongxi, Xiao Zhuge, if you like to lead troops, let him be the Minister of Defense in the future. If you like to lead troops, let him lead two hundred thousand."  ¡±

    At that time, Bai Chongxi was not as famous as he would later be, but this did not affect Zhang Hanqing's appreciation of him.  Because of the psychological effect, I dare not look for the top ten handsome men and the top ten generals who later made great contributions to the construction of New China. It is of course the best choice to find some characters who are on par with them.

    Therefore, Zhang Hanqing sent someone to deliver an autographed letter to Bai Chongxi: "De Lin, Jiansheng, and Ji Kuan met as soon as we met. At a time when China's unification is irreversible, you and others are all outstanding figures of the Republic of China. If you can use your precious talents to  The advancement of national governance and national defense is a blessing to the country and the people. However, if you go against the trend of history and resist the people's army to the end, you will definitely become a sinner of history.

    Now that the country's economic construction is booming, its military strength is also booming. If you want to pool your wisdom and work together for the overall situation, please send one or two capable people to Wuhan to meet face-to-face.  "

    When the People's Army enters Guangxi to attack Guizhou, will the Guangxi Army unite with the Sichuan Army and the Guizhou Army to resist the Central Army, or will it sit back and watch the success or failure?  Once the Sichuan and Guizhou armies are defeated, will it be their turn next?  How to make a decision then?  Surrender?  There is a saying that you would rather be a chicken head than a cow queen; do you resist?  Blocking the torrent of historical development will be punished by God. It is one thing to waste people and money, but it is not good to lose one's reputation.

    For this reason, the three giants Li, Bai, and Huang fell into deep thought.

    When the top leaders of the Guangxi clique were in a dilemma, Tang Jiyao, known as one of the "Three Heroes of Protecting the Country," was also restless.  He made outstanding achievements in the Revolution of 1911 and the War to Protect the Country. However, he was involved in warlord melee in the later period, so the elegiac couplet inscribed by later generations is: "There is no good governance in Yunnan, but there are extraordinary achievements in protecting the country."  This man has been the governor of Yunnan since 1913 and has been in charge of Yunnan for 11 years.

    Cai E used troops from Yunnan Province to defeat the Beiyang Army. Although there were reasons for his proper military strategy, Tang Jiyao's contribution to stabilizing the overall situation cannot be ignored.  At that time, the Yunnan Army was truly invincible - at least within the Beiyang system, it was recognized as having strong combat effectiveness.

    How could he not understand Zhang Hanqing?  Before Cai Elin went to Japan, he had talked with him about this young man, calling him a dragon or a phoenix among men. At first, he thought he was exaggerating.

    Almost in the blink of an eye, this young man shines so brightly that the people of the country cannot look directly at him. Even if they are sitting on the border like him, they cannot help but hear about it.  At that time, he felt that there was still little overlap between the two sides, and the struggle between the Zhi, Anhui, and Feng families in the north had little impact on the southwest.

    However, the People's Army grew almost exponentially, and the territory it controlled was approaching him and began to exert influence on the surrounding areas. At that time, he felt the pressure but still had some luck: the harsh terrain of the Sichuan Road, the Guangxi-Guizhou  If the various departments in Sichuan block the way, it will be a high probability event to survive.

    He really never thought about using force alone to fight against the unification cause of the People's Army.  Time has passed and the Yunnan Army has lost its former glory, and Zhang Hanqing is not the original Ameng under Wu.  Of course he will not do anything that goes against the trend of history.

    The people's army encircled northern, eastern and southeastern Sichuan with overwhelming force. Seeing that the Sichuan army was retreating steadily, the three Liu Dynasties were unable to recover.  Even the governor of Guizhou, Yuan Zuming, must be unable to protect himself¡ªhow dare he fight against the powerful Central Army with only those few guns?  He did not even look at the combat effectiveness of these rifles and opium guns in the hands of the Guizhou Army, which were nicknamed "two guns" by the outside world. He also knew that he alone was no match for the People's Army.

    The People's Army has political legitimacy. If it wants to fight against it, once the central government declares itself a rebel, the good reputation it has worked so hard to gain in the first half of its life will be ruined.  While he was contacting the Gui clique, which was good at fighting, he frequently sent emissaries to see how the central government would treat his clique after the war.

    If the negotiations are on schedule and the results are acceptable, then he will go with the trend and still win the jackpot; if all parties are tough and the People's Army's entry into Sichuan is frustrated, he will also take advantage of the trend and bargain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), to see how the central government will treat itself after the war.

    If the negotiations are on schedule and the results are acceptable, then he will go with the trend and still win the jackpot; if all parties are tough and the People's Army's entry into Sichuan is frustrated, he will also take advantage of the trend and bargain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
