    The People's Army is drifting further and further away, leaving the Zhili Clan far behind.  The Zhili now no longer dares to talk about "going south to unify the Republic of China", but loudly calls for an end to the civil war and the establishment of a united and unified government.  This is forced by the situation and depends on public opinion.

    In the past, when the Zhili clique was strong, they called for "armed reunification." Now that the situation is wrong, they called for "peaceful reunification."

    The Zhili-Fengtian War in history failed to break out in the end because of the strength of the People's Army and the attack from the two major groups, the North and South People's Army and the Fengjun Army. This is what Zhang Hanqing is most gratified about.

    The People¡¯s Party¡¯s various reforms in the Northeast have focused the attention of the Chinese people here.  Not to mention its huge industrial and commercial capabilities, just the fact that millions of people flock to the Northeast every year to work and farm, you can know how attractive the Northeast is to the outside world.

    ¡°And since the establishment of the People¡¯s Party, it has first taken back all the interests of the old Russia in Northeast China, which has attracted the attention of the Chinese people who have been bullied. They say that the Fengxuan Party has won glory for the Chinese people.

    Later, its dazzling performance in the May 4th Movement and its reasonable, beneficial and measured negotiations with Japan greatly pleased the Chinese people. Countless people of insight believe that the People's Party will be the pillar force that will lead China to become stronger and is China's  hope.

    The party manages the country and the army, and public ownership of land. Isn¡¯t this what communism in the Soviet Union was like at this time?  Moreover, the People's Party's approach is far more in line with China's reality: not only has it not made the system rigid, it has also unleashed the enthusiasm of farmers, continuously producing bumper harvests in the Northeast.

    The establishment of more than a dozen large industrial and commercial groups and their unity under the leadership of the "National Unification Council" is not that socialist public ownership?

    In addition, the practice of the system of separation of powers has allowed the Chinese people to see the hope of Chinese governance. A lively government is far more attractive than the "five-camera system" that Sun Yat-sen talks about on paper and the three-party system he advocates.

    Therefore, after comparing the differences between China and foreign countries, the revolutionaries who went north, west, and east to learn also believed that the experience of the People's Party was far better than that of other countries. Naturally, there was no need to follow the path of Soviet Russia.  Therefore, the Communist Party of China has never been able to occupy a place in this great trend. Many outstanding leaders of the labor movement and outstanding generals have joined the People's Party in and outside the country. This is one of the reasons for the rapid expansion of the People's Party.

    Zhang Hanqing didn't know that under his influence bit by bit, the current situation had changed in a direction that was extremely beneficial to the Fengcun. Although most events were still moving towards their own destiny, there were some slight changes in pace or direction.  Deviation.

    While the Fengcian faction and the People's Army are booming, Sun Yat-sen's Kuomintang has always been tepid: it has neither been recognized by more people in the country, nor has the legitimacy of the regime been recognized by the great powers.

    Sun Yat-sen returned to Guangdong from Shanghai at this time last year and appointed himself as the very president of the Republic of China, but he was not recognized by the great powers.  However, he remained determined and actively organized the Northern Expeditionary Army, and personally went to Guangxi to lobby Li Zongren, the new leader of the Guangxi clique, to gain the support of the Guangxi clique.

    In order to show his intention of "the world is for the common good", he has repeatedly told the outside world that as long as the "dictatorial" Beiyang Government President Xu Shichang steps down, he will also step down at the same time.

    "If this is true, it is a blessing for China and the people!"  Zhang Hanqing decided to end the civil war in order to restore China's economy and its status as a great power as soon as possible, so he sent a secret message to Zhang Zuolin to put pressure on Xu Shichang.

    At the same time, Cao Kun also received Wu Peifu's advice and used the period of peaceful founding of the country to delay the pressure from the People's Army and Fengjun, create conditions for the reinforcement of troops, and also put pressure on Xu Shichang.

    The reason why Cao Kun worked so hard to drive Xu away was actually because he wanted to "put on a yellow robe".  Although the Feng clique has grown greatly in power in recent years, it still has shallow roots in Beijing.  When the Feng clique forces have not fully penetrated into Beijing, especially when the Congress is controlled by the Zhili clique, there is a high probability that he will be "elected" as president.  In this way, he has the reputation of being orthodox, and with the courage of the direct army, he may be able to rival the Feng clan.

    ?????????????????????????????? However, Xu Shichang was the president elected by the Anfu clique after all, and it was also approved by the Congress. If the appearance is too ugly, I am afraid it will cause joint opposition from the southern military government and the Feng clique.

    It is said that Duan Qirui is also instigating the great alliance of Feng, Anhui and Guangdong to avenge the defeat of Xue with one stone.  Moreover, Wu Peifu also believes that such a rough and tough approach will not win the trust of the world and will only worsen the already divided situation.  He believed that we should first put forward the idea of ??"restoring legal authority" and "unifying the country", and then using the old Congress to "elect" Cao Kun as the "justified" president.

    He believed that even if the members of the Southern Congress returned to Beijing, the Zhili clique would be sure to win. This idea was recognized by Cao Kun.

    So former President Li Yuanhong came into their sight: he was once accused of opposing the "Southern?" Being ousted by Duan Qirui, he was able to gain the understanding of the Guangdong clique; he had no soldiers and no power. Firstly, he was easy to fool, and secondly, the clique would not oppose him.

    Zhang Hanqing also hopes that Xu Shichang's coming to power can lead to reconciliation between the north and the south, so that the three families of Guangdong, Zhili, and Feng will have the opportunity to re-form a unified government.  No matter how the territory is divided in the future, at least the country is nominally unified, which is a big progress for China, because the "Washington Treaty" also "guarantees China's independent state status."

    At present, the two departments are in charge of Beijing. The trials of the three powers in the northeast have also been praised at home and abroad. It is not a problem for Zhang Zuolin to be elected president by controlling the power of 15 provinces.  For the same reason, he also agreed to make Li Yuanhong the president and wait for the various factions to unify before re-electing him.

    The two pillars each have their own motives, but when they work together, Xu Shichang is under great pressure.  On June 2, Xu announced his resignation.

    For a time, all walks of life called Sun Yat-sen and the Guangzhou Extraordinary Congress, calling on Sun Yat-sen to fulfill his declaration to step down at the same time as Xu Shichang and realize the republican unity of the country. More than 200 celebrities, including Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, Gao Yihan, etc., even jointly called for Sun Yat-sen to step down.

    But surprisingly, Sun Yat-sen categorically refused to resign.

    Immediately, all sectors of society were disappointed, and Sun Yat-sen's popularity dropped rapidly.  Even Duan Qirui said to Cao Rulin: "In the past, Sun Wen used the provisional agreement to be trampled as a banner to start a revolution. But now that the provisional agreement has been restored, Sun Wen still insists on rebelling. From now on, it becomes his fault."  ¡±

    The People's Army's successive victories made Chen Jiongming, the governor of Guangdong, minister of the army of the French-protecting military government, and commander of the First Army of the Guangdong Army, who did not approve of the Northern Expedition in his heart, had a different idea: the Anhui clique that had hindered the legal system of Guangda had fallen.  Even its last symbol, President Xu Shichang, has been replaced by Li Yuanhong, so why bother with the Northern Expedition?  When the extraordinary members of Congress return to Beijing and form a coalition government based on the autonomy of each province, won't peace in China be achieved?

    There seemed to be a glimmer of hope for peace, but what Chen Jiongming didn't expect was a core question: If the three major companies united and became autonomous, would it be Sun Yat-sen's turn to be the president?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
