Chapter 25 The Yasukuo Army of Hubei


In December, Shi Xingchuan responded to Sun Yat-sen's Dharma Protection Movement and declared Jingzhou's independence.

The 1st Division of Hubei was changed to the 1st Army of Hubei Jing**, and Li Tiancai, commander of the 9th Central Division and the guard of Xiangyun Town, and Wang Anlan, the former commander of the 3rd Division of Hubei, then declared their independence and formed the 2nd and 3rd armies of Hubei Jing**.

Due to Zhang Chun's containment, their strength was damaged, and after taking action after determining Zhang Chun's intentions, it was already a full year later than in history.

Zhang Chun called Sun Yat-sen back and said: I have already declared local autonomy, and there is no need to ** again.

However, it was agreed that the troops would be formed into the 4th Army of Hubei Jing**.

At this time, it was a critical period for the peace negotiations between the north and the south, so Sun Yat-sen was overjoyed.

Li Tiancai and Shi Xingchuan allied forces to capture Yichang.

Zhang Chun's Fourth Army was responsible for holding the rear road and preventing Wuhan Sun Chuanfang from reinforcing Yichang.

But in fact, except for a very small number such as Li Tiancai, most people did not have much preparation and were not prepared to fight.

Wu Peifu and Wang Zhanyuan, the first route army of the Beiyang Army's southern expedition, and Wu Guangxin, commander-in-chief of the garrison in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, joined forces to attack Jing**, Shi Xingchuan's troops were defeated and retreated, and they sued for peace with the Beiyang Army, the troops were disbanded, and the people also ran to Hankou.

Wu Peifu occupied Xiangyang and Jingmen.

Due to Sun Chuanfang's attitude, Shayang, as the Fourth Army, was calm.

Gu Ming was receiving Shi Xingchuan's rout, while Zhou Rong was aiming at Jingmen.

On 16 January, Cao Kun's 1st Route Army, as an artillery regiment of Wu Peifu's reinforcements, was ambushed by Zhou Rong and covered by rocket artillery at extreme times.

All artillery and shells were blown up, and one battalion that had gone for reinforcements was wiped out.

Zhou Rong swept north of the Zhanghe River in Jingmen, directly cutting off the retreat of Wu Peifu's three regiments in Jingzhou.

Gu Ming and Zhang Lin's constant ambushes and sneak attacks made Wu Peifu's three regiments miserable.

Wu Peifu knew it was over as soon as he saw the way his opponent attacked.

Because he encountered a completely different way of attacking, and the marksmanship was accurate.

Good at hiding and not in a hurry to charge.

The firepower is strong and the coordination is tight.

In particular, the range of the opponent's guns is much longer than that of one's own, and one's own troops can only be beaten passively.

Seeing that his defensive strongholds were pulled out one by one unhurriedly, Wu Peifu, who had lost the protection of artillery, could only order his troops to cross the river and move closer to Sun Chuanfang.

But only one of the three regiments was withdrawn.

However, his troops were defeated but not defeated, and they were still quite capable.

Wu Peifu was very shocked by the opponent's strange cannon that could be carried by a soldier on his back.

This gun is not as long range as the Krupp gun, but it is able to concentrate fire for a short time and give a devastating blow to some fire support points.

The commander of the opposing side was astonishingly accurate in judging this point of fire.

So this battle is simply impossible to fight.

Zhou Rong and Gu Ming raided Wu Guangxin's two regiments from Yichang to reinforce Jingmen, and Wu Guangxin's troops were much worse than Wu Peifu's troops.

It's basically a one-touch collapse. fled directly back to Xiangfan, and even Yicheng was not guarded.

Wang Zhanyuan and Cao Kun were greatly panicked.

But Sun Chuanfang said that although Zhang Chun was a good soldier, he had few people and couldn't eat so many places at once.

Or should it be based on envelopment.

Since An Lu and Sun Chuanfang of Hanchuan had not moved, Zhang Chun also stopped at Jingmen and did not prevent Cao Kun from going south to Hunan.

At the end of January of the eighth year of the Republic of China, Wang Zhanyuan sent Sun Chuanfang to negotiate peace, and Zhang Chun promised a truce. but refused to say the two words of peace.

Say that everyone has a good Spring Festival.

He also said to Sun Chuanfang that Beiyang would inevitably fail, and it was better to negotiate peace between the north and the south.

Wang Zhanyuan secretly informed the Southern Army of the conditions for the joint alliance of Suzhou, Jiangxi and Hubei, and President Feng Guozhang's plan for reunification by force was frustrated.

Wang Jinjing, commander of the Second Division of the Northern Army, was defeated.

The rest was taken over by Wang Zhanyuan.

Threatened by the Southern Army and Zhang Chun, Wang Zhanyuan, who was anxious to increase his strength, promised Japan to expand the concession in Wuhan and order an ordnance contract with the Japanese Taiping Company.

Since Wang Zhanyuan dominates and.

Sun Yat-sen got the benefit again, so he did not urge Zhang Chun to make an attack.

February.

The North-South Peace Conference was officially held in Shanghai.

Hubei has calmed down for the time being.

It's just that the northern and southern armies have made some small moves, and the chances of success in the peace talks are very small.

Liu Ying asked the various units to begin to reorganize.

Two years of fighting tripled the troops, reaching almost six thousand people.

So preparations were made for the formation of the 2nd Division.

Gu Ming was the commander of the first division, and Zhou Rong was the chief of staff.

It has three regiments.

That is to say, in addition to the first and second regiments, another regiment is formed.

The Second Division was actually a garrison division, and the division commander Chen Jizu and the chief of staff Zhang Linyue were also preparing to form another regiment.

However, Chen Jizu is only temporary, he is favored by Li Dazhao and wants to work in the government department.

Due to the lack of cadres, many soldiers have only one or two years of combat experience, and too quick promotion is not good for them.

Veterans were promoted to the rank of company platoon.

Zhang Tian, Zhang Ming and Zhao Dinggang have already reached the regimental position.

Liu Ying's operations department also transferred this group of people, and the experienced veterans were suddenly free.

Therefore, the actual assembly work is relatively slow.

For this reason, Li Dazhao suggested setting up an organization department, which should be divided into two parts, the local and the military, to specifically inspect and appoint cadres.

However, the existence of the organization department in the army has become a thorny problem, and Liu Ying does not agree to create another administrative system in the battle sequence, because it will inflate the army's non-combatants.

Li Dazhao set up a ** group on the basis of the Institute of Socialist Studies, and for the time being there were only six people: Li Dazhao, Chen Qingtong, Guo Hua, Zhang Chun, Dong Biwu, and Liu Ying.

Zhang Chun is the team leader.

However, the actual work was presided over by Li Dazhao and Chen Qingtong.

The first book he compiled was On New Democracy, edited by Guo Hua and Li Dazhao.

The choices are all about Zhang Chun and the students' practice and discourse on the definition of democracy.

It is precisely because of this that Cai Yuanpei and Liang Qichao did not arouse their disgust.

Because of the rapid expansion of territory, both military and local control are weakening.

Therefore, after the Spring Festival, the localities and the troops are all in training.

Students and military personnel went to various localities and old areas to start selecting cadres and establishing local governments as soon as possible.

The peasant night school was full of lectures and literacy every day.

In Jingmen, Jingzhou, except for the implementation of the land law, no major construction has been moved.

The funds of the landlords in the Xinguangfu District are concentrated in the three counties of Jingshan, Zhongxiang and Shayang, because these places have projects and markets, and it is relatively easy to build factories and do business.

And not concentrated in Jingzhou and Jingmen.

Because of this, the economic structure of Jingmen and Jingzhou has undergone qualitative changes, and almost all of them are collective economies.

The economic structure of Jingshan, Shayang, and Zhongxiang is a collection of three types: private, collective, and "state-owned".

The so-called state-owned enterprises are actually wholly owned by the government and Zhang Chun's Xinmin Cooperative Bank and Xinmin University.

Because of this, the economic research institute presided over by Guo Hua and the financial research institute presided over by Zeng Simin are concentrated in these three cities.

The construction of Tianmen and Heying City is still delayed, because the local forces here are very stubborn and self-contained, unless Zhang Chun is ruthless.

Qianjiang is completely state-owned, large and small enterprises, and the poor are gathered there, and without the support of the government, the construction cannot be carried out.

Due to the shrinking of the area controlled by the private economy, a series of economic and financial control measures have emerged.

The financial situation has finally stabilized.

However, the problem of money transportation is getting worse.

After several discussions, the development plan of the banknote was finally finalized, and Zhang Chun signed and agreed to print.

The new Min coin is the same as the copper coin, which is divided into five, two, and one and three grades.

Using watermarks and copper wires, the picture is the pattern of the teaching building of Xinmin University plus the Xinmin Bridge and the Yunlong River.

Plum Blossom secretly remembered that the pulp is made of high-purity reed pulp mixed with a kind of tree fiber, and some minerals are added.

The new currency is very beautifully printed.

It's almost unacceptable.

On the first day of issuance, not only did it not recover the financial shock of copper coins, but it was more popular than copper coins.

Zeng Simin breathed a sigh of relief.

Since March, due to the market, there are plenty of banknotes and they are constantly being replenished.

The exchange rate began to fall, and the financial speculators finally couldn't hold on.

A large number of copper coins returned.

Copper for metallurgy is finally no longer so tight.

Copper prices have also started to fall.

And it's a big fall.

Zeng Simin had already secretly started exchanging silver ingots for gold bars.

The price of silver ingots is also falling.

However, the value of the Xinmin silver coin is slowly increasing.

This is mainly a reflection of the market's strength and good reputation of Xinmin Cooperative Bank.

It is also a trust and embodiment of the economy in the area controlled by Zhang Chun.

At this time, Zeng Simin could finally resign from the post of president of Xinmin Cooperative Bank and concentrate on financial and tax work.

With the increase in the number of cities under his control, the financial and tax affairs are also increasing rapidly, and Zeng Simin is already a little overwhelmed.

It is imperative to separate finance and taxation.

The news of the failure of the North-South peace talks came mainly because of the armistice order issued by President Xu Shichang, and the Anhui warlords refused to obey Duan Qirui's instructions.

The dispute between the government and the government of Beiyang intensified, and the basis for negotiations was destroyed.

However, Wang Zhanyuan, Wu Peifu and others are coordinating with the direct warlords to prepare for the resumption of negotiations, either explicitly or covertly.

Hubei continues to maintain a delicate balance.
