    The time has come to the 10th year of the Republic of China, that is, 1921 AD. It is still one year away from the first showdown between Zhifeng and Zhifeng in official history.  The reason why Zhang Hanqing wanted to escape from Xinjiang as soon as possible was also due to the unpredictable situation.

    Since Hu Jingyi, the general of the Jingguo Army, was recruited, Zhang Hanqing gave his troops a lot of care. Not only did he have enough food and clothing, but he also gave priority to the supply of armaments, which gradually won the hearts of the Jingguo Army.  It is said that the young marshal has no sense of place and is dedicated to serving the public good.  Hu Jingyi was even more impressed: Although the young marshal was young, he knew the general trends of the country and the world very well. Some of his predictions were beyond what ordinary people would think of, but they were still very reasonable.  The young marshal's ambition to "end the warlord war, unify the Republic of China, establish a centralized central government, and then gradually transition to an elected government", as well as his plan to "alliance with the Soviet Union and Russia, establish a good relationship with Britain and the United States, and expel Japan" are all important.  It seemed very feasible to him.

    Originally, Sun Yat-sen's "Three Plate Cooking Theory" had inherent theoretical flaws: it has been criticized since the beginning of the Five Nationalities Republic and was regarded as Han chauvinism.  Zhang Hanqing abandoned this statement and changed it to the title of the Chinese nation to form a united front for all ethnic groups in China.

    The People¡¯s Party¡¯s revolutionary platform includes the complete realization of people¡¯s power, the eight-hour work system, and a thorough agrarian revolution program (i.e., the household contract responsibility system), etc., while Sandanyi does not have these parts.

    The principle of centralism, dialectical materialism and historical materialism¡¯s cosmology required by the People¡¯s Party are consistent in theory and practice, that is, they are revolutionary and thorough.  Except for those who are most loyal to the revolution and the truth, the words and actions of Sanpanzhiyi are contradictory to each other.  All kinds of thinking have made Hu Jingyi's ideas new - nonsense, the People's Party's theory contains the essence of later communist theories. After a long period of baptism and development, it is not the same as any political party at that time |  Predictable?  Zhang Hanqing almost wanted to derive the "Three Represents" theory to guide the direction of the People's Party.

    Therefore, Hu Jingyi, who believes in Sun Yat-sen's "Three dishes to cook justice" thought, strongly agrees with the party and government cadres sent by the People's Party to take up their posts in the 6th Division one after another.  Trusting someone because you believe in a certain doctrine will turn into infinite loyalty, such as Mao Zedong and his generals.

    The Jingguo Army completely followed the Northwest Army. Zhang Hanqing stationed his army in Tongguan and prepared to take over Shangluo. This move deeply stimulated Feng Yuxiang.  After he was expelled from Xi'an, he retreated to Ankang and lived in boredom.

    Ankang is located in the southernmost tip of Shaanxi, in the gap between Shaanxi and Hubei. The land is poor and unable to develop: the Northwest People's Army is eyeing it in the west and north, the mountainous corner of Shu Road in Sichuan is in the southwest, and Wang Zhanyuan of Hubei is guarding against it like a snake and scorpion in the southeast.  If Shangluo is occupied, there will be a trend of closing the door and beating the dog. Once there is a change, the sky will not respond and the earth will not respond.

    He believed that the People's Army was pressing harder to get into this situation, and Wu Peifu's exclusion was also an important factor.  Since Wu Peifu was unreliable, he naturally wanted to find a new employer, so he came up with the idea of ??quitting Shaanxi and switching to Henan.

    Now Feng Yuxiang's power has greatly expanded since he subdued part of the 20th Division of Yan Xiangwen's Army.  After his mixed brigade was expanded and expanded into the official 11th Division, both divisional brigades were reorganized into mixed brigades and a new one was added, becoming the same fully mixed brigade structure as Wu Peifu's main third division, but with two fewer numbers.  That¡¯s all.

    Wu Peifu knew that Feng Yuxiang was not someone who had lived under others for a long time, otherwise he would not have been trying to exclude him, but he did not want him to come to Henan and become a serious problem for him.  You must know that Henan, Hebei, and Shandong are usually provinces with a large number of soldiers. If Feng Yuxiang stays in power for a long time, it will inevitably affect his plan to rely on the Longhai and Pinghan Railways to challenge the Feng clan.

    He knew about the conflict between Feng Yuxiang and Wu Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei, so he sent him to station troops in Xinyang to wait for an opportunity to replace Wang Zhanyuan of Hubei.  With the fat piece of Hubei here, I believe that as long as Feng Yuxiang is not a fool, he will give up the tough piece of Henan.

    They are all from the same lineage, so why are they so incompatible?

    Because among the original three direct governors of the Yangtze River, Li Chun and Wang Zhanyuan were the oldest.  After Li Chun's violent death, Wang Zhanyuan became the mouthpiece of the Third Governor of the Yangtze River. He was actually dissatisfied with the current direct leader Cao Kun.

    The direct line in the north is divided into three lines: Tianjin, Luoyang and Baoding, which shows that Cao Kun's ability needs to be improved.  Prior to this, Cao Kun was not a firm Zhili, but had been an "amphibious governor" for a long time, which was especially despised by Wang Zhanyuan.  He believed that he was the "pure" Zhili and should be at least on an equal footing with Cao Kun. Naturally, the rising star Wu Peifu did not take him seriously.

    ??Wu Peifu knows this very well.  So he was also going to borrow Feng Yuxiang's knife to do what he had always wanted but failed to do.

    But Feng Yuxiang's entry into Henan made Zhao Ti, the governor of Henan Province who had just experienced the "Henan Yidu" crisis, feel deeply in his heartAnother wave.

    Zhao Ti was originally from Yijun, and he made his fortune in the Gengzi Year when he escorted Cixi and Guangxu to Xi'an for refuge.  Later, he followed Yuan Shikai and contributed a lot. He was also a fellow from Henan, so he won the favor of the old Yuan and became the governor of Henan.

    He then supervised Henan for 8 years, but made no achievements in the local area. His military management has always been stagnant in the same way as the late Yijun, without any change, so he has not developed a combat-effective army.  The discipline of his army, especially the Hongwei Army of his brother Zhao Jie, was far worse than that of the general Beiyang army. The people of Henan hated Zhao Ti and were most affected by his army discipline.

    History books say of him: ¡°His personnel were favored to employ military officers, and most of his staff were from the oldest Beiyang General Bian Academy. The military cadets at Baoding were regarded as newcomers in the Zhao Department and could not make a name for themselves.  It is said that there are three common sources of money for him: one is to enrich himself through arrears of pay. The army often owes pay for several months and then gets careless at the end of the year; the other is to control the Copper Yuan Bureau of Henan Province, buying copper and making it himself, and making profits from it; the third is not to  Through the provincial governor¡¯s office and financial institutions, opium donations were directly apportioned to opium-producing counties in western Henan and pocketed privately.¡±

    He made a lot of money, but was very stingy with it. His subordinates seldom benefited from him, and of course they were unwilling to work hard for him when trouble came. Therefore, among the warlords, the combat effectiveness of his troops was the lowest.

    In the era of warlords, people who were "good" were deceived.  Before the Anhui War, after Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army in Luoyang was transferred to Shaanxi, Duan Qirui transferred two brigades of border guards to garrison in Luoyang. Wu Guangxin's troops were also stationed in Xinyang for a time, so there was talk of replacing Wu Guang's new governor of Yu.  When Zhao Ti heard this, he panicked and used Xu Shuzheng to replace Wang Yinchuan, an important member of the Anfu clique, as the governor of Henan Province as an invisible exchange for consolidating his position as governor.

    When the provincial governor was replaced by a member of the Anhui clan, he became a lame governor.  After this false alarm, Zhao Ti believed that it was not safe to rely solely on the Anhui clique, so he sent Dai Shoushan as a representative to Nanjing to meet with Su Du Li Chun, the first member of the Zhili clique, and asked Li Chun to send troops from Xuzhou to assist Henan when necessary.  Li Chunxu reluctantly agreed to Zhao's request, but in fact secretly sent personnel to Henan to investigate Zhao Ti's strength, believing that Zhao Ti's Henan army had no fighting capacity.  If the Anhui clique wanted to attack Zhao Ti at that time, Li Chun's assistance would not be reliable.

    If you can¡¯t rely on Li Chun, you still have to find helpers. Otherwise, how can you fight against the Anhui clique on your own?  Therefore, Zhao Ti sent people to contact Cao Kun, the leader of the Zhili clan and the governor of the Zhili clan.  At that time, the conflict between Cao Kun and Duan Qirui was getting bigger. Cao believed that Zhao Ti was an honest man and that he directly bordered Henan, so he adopted him as a co-tune and agreed to support him.  In April before the Zhili-Anhui War, Zhao Ti personally went to Baoding to join the eight-province military alliance of Zhili, Su, Hubei, Jiangxi, Feng, Ji, Heilongjiang and Henan, which aimed at anti-Anhui clique.  At this point, Zhao Ti completely changed from the Anhui clique to the Zhili clique.

    Before the Zhi-Wan War, Wu Peifu led his troops to withdraw from Hengyang to the north, and Duan Qirui called Zhao to prevent the Wu army from crossing the border.  However, before the incident, Wu Peifu sent personnel to Bian to discuss secretly with Zhao Ti and made a wish to appoint him as the governor of Henan after the war.

    Zhao Ti, who had gained the upper hand during the trial, rejected Duan Qirui because he was "too weak", but at the same time agreed with the Wu troops to pass and station along the Beijing-Hankou Railway in Henan Province, which was a standard deviation.  Therefore, in the Zhili-Anhui War, although Zhao Ti did not directly send troops to participate in the war, he always stood on the side of the Zhili army, so that Cao and Wu had no worries, which was a great help to the Zhili army.

    After the Zhili-Anhui War, Zhao Ti was still able to maintain his position as governor of Henan. He only removed Wang Yinchuan, the governor of the Anhui clique, and replaced him with Zhang Fengtai of the Zhili clique.

    But he is still a lame warlord.

    Soon after Wu Peifu was promoted to deputy envoy to inspect Luyu and was stationed in Luoyang, he wanted to train troops here.  Along the Beijing-Hankou Railway in Henan and to the west of Zhengzhou, there were troops of the Zhili Army, and they had the aggressive tendency to force the enemy to overwhelm the host.  At that time, there was also talk of Wang Chengbin supervising Yu, so Zhao Ti was inevitably worried.

    So in the early spring of 1921, Zhao Ti went to Luoyang in person to deal with Wu Peifu, and sincerely expressed to Wu that he would only obey Wu's orders from now on.  Wu Peifu also had disagreements with Wang Chengbin within the Zhili clique and did not support the king's governorship of Yu, so he personally guaranteed Zhao Ti's governorship in Yu.  For a time, they were in harmony with each other, and Zhao and Wu became friends with Jinlan.

    The "Yi Du" turmoil has come to an end.

    During the Republic of China, with such strength as the governor of the Central Plains, Zhang Hanqing was surprised how he could survive surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides.  However, although Zhao Ti was incompetent and helpless, he was the governor of Henan and still had a few people under his command.  In some things, if done well, it is possible to cause trouble for Wu Peifu at critical moments.  He believed that Zhao Ti would not welcome Wu Peifu's strong style.

    Based on the idea that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Zhang Hanqing hoped that Zhao Ti could play the role of a troublemaker, so he sent someone to contact Zhao Ti secretly.

    Zhao Ti was both happy and worried about the People's Army's big move in Shaanxi and Gansu.  Fortunately, facing heavy military pressure, Wu Peifu focused on guarding against the People's Army going south, and suppressed Zhao Ti less. Worryingly, Feng Yuxiang was driven out of Shaanxi, and there was another strongman in Henan. There were really many.  Disaster!

    Regarding the helping hand extended by the People's Army, he believed that it would be a waste of time: there was Wu Peifu in the middle.  If Lao Wu found out about his hookup with the People's Army, it's hard to say whether the People's Army could help him, but he would definitely finish it first.

    But he did not refuse, because Zhang Hanqing was not looking for an alliance with him, but pointed out a "clear way" for him.  This idea made him suddenly realize that this move was feasible.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Urgent: There is Wu Peifu in the middle.  If Lao Wu found out about his hookup with the People's Army, it's hard to say whether the People's Army could help him, but he would definitely finish it first.
