Chapter 399 What a big game of chess (2)
Unlike those rulers who often use it as an excuse to cover up their incompetence, Wang Zhenyu is now playing a big game of chess. Although he is a character with a very bad chess level and simply knows nothing about Go.
But this did not prevent Wang Zhenyu from playing good chess on the big chessboard in China. The first good chess was in Tibet. On September 12, 1917, just when the whole country turned its attention to Xuzhou, in Lhasa, something that was forever recorded in history was happening.
Liu Xiang, a miscellaneous army general born in a landlord family, ushered in the most glorious moment in his life on this day. Many years later, Liu Xiang, who had withdrawn from the military and became a businessman, still boasted after dinner: "When I was the most proud of my life, I was to take our Sichuan Army into Lhasa. The Lama not only dared not fart, but also had to offer Hada to me in a regular manner."
On this day, the "rebels" commanded by Liu Xiang entered Lhasa, but they were different from Chang. The two sides did not exchange fire here. After obtaining Liu Xiang's three no-no promises of "not placing troops, not looting, and not reorganizing", the great nobles in Tibet did not care about the intention of Lord Buddha and directly ordered the Tibetan warriors under their command who had been beaten by the Sichuan army to withdraw their troops from Lhasa.
According to Wang Zhenyu's intention, Liu Xiang ordered all sons of noble families to study at Wuhan Army University and not be allowed to return to Tibet until graduation. This is probably the meaning of protons. This regulation has been set as a system and has been strictly enforced.
Suo Guanying also returned to the generous reward. Although it was not his turn in Kashag's Kalon, a Changdu general manager was enough to make him happy for a while.
The negotiations with the 13th generation ** are naturally not our General Liu. His army faced the problem of reorganization after conquering Tibet. This 20,000-person unit was officially renamed the Tibet Border Defense Force. According to Wang Zhenyu's intention, Tibetans also had to undertake military service tasks, and they were mixed with the Han army, with the number of people being about 10,000. The officers of the Tibetan Border Defense Force were also distributed according to this proportion.
The negotiations with the 13th generation ** were responsible for Chen Shao, the special envoy of Tibet sent by Wang Zhenyu. Chen Shao did not take action on weekdays, and he was very extraordinary when he took action.
"From now on, Tibet will be an indivisible territory of the Republic of China, and the Tibetans will also be regarded as part of the Chinese nation. Both the sinicization and the Tibetanization are protected by the laws of the Republic of China. All the privileges of Tibetan Buddhism are recognized and the existing political status of living Buddhas such as ** and Panchen Lama will be abolished. The entire Tibetan area will be established in the entire Tibet region, including the inner Tibetan (Lhasa as the capital), the outer Tibetan (Chatto as the capital), the latter Tibetan (Shigatse as the capital), the former Tibetan (Markang as the capital), and the Qinghai-Tibet (Xining as the capital), and other issues will be resolved in the future."
This actually divides the power of the entire Tibet into five. Although ** is still the nominal ruler of Tibet, its actual appeal has been greatly reduced. Moreover, Chen Shao's plan was immediately supported and recognized by living Buddhas represented by Panchen Lama and Rezhen, because according to this division, although the power of ** is weakened, local living Buddhas and the aristocratic forces behind them have gained benefits. At least they no longer have to be controlled by Lhasa for the power of life and death, and they feel free.
Chen Shao's strategy of dividing the Five Treasures was later proved to be very effective, and it also made Tibetan Buddhism play a more active role in the subsequent Mongolian issue. That is, in the later political struggle, Chen Shao was arrested and imprisoned, and this policy was continued to be implemented until after the establishment of the Chinese Federation.
After the founding of the Chinese Federation, the federal government and the federal parliament made a series of adjustments to the ethnic policies of Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang. The most thorough one was the separation of church and state and the abolition of serfdom. However, unlike the abolishment of force in later generations, on the issue of serfdom in Tibet, the federal government adopted the Russian approach, adopted the redemption method to abolish it, and implemented it through legislation to strictly prohibit selling oneself as slaves. It was relatively more moderate and had fewer sequelae. As for Tibetan Buddhism, the federal government announced that except for msl and similar cults, the rest of religious beliefs were free, and there were no restrictions on the management of monks and other monks, and no longer gave political and economic privileges. As a result, sls became the world's largest temple, which was a long way off.
Liu Xiang was undoubtedly lucky. He succeeded. Yang Sen, who held 40,000 Sichuan troops, is now almost like an ant on a hot pan. His army was unable to capture Hanzhong for a long time. This has caused serious dissatisfaction and high concern in Wuhan. It is not a big deal to feed mosquitoes in the valleys for more than three months. What really made Yang Sen very worried is whether his "rebels" would be really wiped out by the big man in Wuhan as a rebel. Fortunately, although the bastards under his command did not fight well, the logistics supplies in Sichuan were not short of a single point, which made Yang Sen very ashamed.
In fact, it cannot be entirely blamed by Yang Sen. Firstly, the terrain of Hanzhong has been famous for being as difficult as the sky. Back then, Liu Bang VS Xiang Yu built a plank road and crossed Chen Cang secretly before he successfully escaped ascended to heaven. Secondly, Chen Shufan sent someone to block Yang Sen in Hanzhong. It was Yang Hucheng, a famous man in history. This guy was under a large group of swordsmen. His combat power was really not enough. Anyway, he had a tug-of-war with Yang Sen in Hanzhong. Yang Sen had no choice but to use this person for a while. He was so angry that he called him a candy. He was so clingy.
However, the Shaanxi Army was not a monolithic part. After Chen Shufan became the governor of Shaanxi, he actively supported personal forces and cracked down on revolutionary forces. He promoted his classmates and fellow villagers Liu Shilong, Zeng Jixian, Zhang Baolin, Zhang Feisheng, Zhang Danping and others to regiment commanders and brigade commanders. Hu Jingyi, a member of the Democratic Party who made great contributions against Yuan Zhulu, only appointed the regiment commander, Gao Jun as deputy regiment commander, and Cao Shiying's troops were not even assigned to the regular army.
This gave Jing Wumu and others a very good opportunity, to be precise, the opportunity to instigate the rebellion. First, Jing Yuexiu, the tenth brother of Jing Wumu who guarded Yulin, secretly turned to the National Government, and secondly, Hu Jingyi and others secretly connected and broke up.
However, these people were slightly insufficient. Chen Shufan brought three reorganized divisions in Xi'an with Chen Shufa, Yan Feilong and Wang Feihu. Everyone could do anything about him for a while. The situation in Shaanxi was so deadlocked. Until September 3, in Henan, Wu Peifu commanded the three direct divisions of the Third Division, the Sixth Division and the Eleventh Division, a total of 60,000 troops, after obtaining supplies from Wuhan, he rushed westward without hesitation.
Although Wu Peifu, a tiger who was supported by the Japanese, had no choice but to deal with the Shaanxi army, local troops such as the Eight Towns of Longshang were not easy to win. At this time, Hu Jingyi, who was guarding Tongguan, announced his rebellion and directly opened the door on September 5 and released Wu Peifu's 60,000 troops. Then Jing Yuexiu and other local generals announced their opposition to Chen. The battle situation in Shaanxi, which had been silent for three months, was almost completely overturned overnight. Chen Shufan, who was in charge of Xi'an, truly felt what a disaster was coming.
But Chen Shufan only had 60,000 Shaanxi troops in his hands. He didn't dare to throw away the tall city walls of Xi'an to fight Wu Peifu. He sent a telegram to complain to the central government. At this time, Zhang Zuolin, who was in charge of the central government, was busy heading south and heading south. He had no time at all. He did nothing except routinely attacking Wu Peifu with telegram. Chen Shufan gritted his teeth and ruthlessly invited two foreign aids. The first was Liu Zhenhua, the Zhensong Army, but this kid had only 20,000 troops. He is currently playing soy sauce in Hanzhong area. The second was naturally the Eight Towns of Longshang. Chen Shufan told these eight soldiers very clearly, don't bother there. The brothers in the northwest are a family. If I, Chen Shufan, can't afford to eat in Xi'an, Yushuai's army will come to greet you soon.
Before the eight towns in Longshang could figure it out, on September 10, Wu Peifu's army vanguard arrived in Xi'an. Chen Shufan didn't know his background and dared not go out of the city to fight. On the 12th, Wu Peifu began to siege the city. Although there was no artillery attack, there was panic in Xi'an.
Chen Shufan can be said to be extremely frustrated. He didn't dare to fight, and he had no confidence in defending. He had internal thieves everywhere and foreign aids did not arrive. He suddenly sighed and said, "Why did I, Chen Shufan, have reached this point?"
On September 18, after Jing Wumu entered the city and persuaded him, Chen Shufan finally agreed to open the city and surrender after discussing with his senior generals. This was a precedent. The Shaanxi Army almost shot Wu Peifu and captured the entire Shaanxi territory.
The following was naturally the reorganization of the Shaanxi Army. The personnel decisions in Wuhan were soon made. Jing Wumu became the governor of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, Hu Jingyi was the commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, Chen Shufan was transferred to Nanjing, and Jing Yuexiu, Yang Hucheng, Gao Jun and Cao Shiying remained as the commanders of the 22nd Division of the Youth Army, the chief of staff and the second infantry brigade commander. The 22nd Division was also the first division to implement the reform of the fourth regiment of the 1st Division, the 22nd Brigade.
Wu Peifu did have the idea of occupying Shaanxi and planning the Central Plains, but now it is not in the Warring States Period. Although he occupied the homeland of the Three Qins, if there is no logistics and weapons, what's the use of occupying this place? Wu Peifu finally convinced himself to give up this idea.
