Beiyang reactionaries

"When tens of thousands of troops enter Gansu, you can't just do nothing. Isn't that a joke? Besides, Gansu has [-] troops of our general, which I think is enough. A poor province like Gansu can't afford more Troops. If there are too many troops, isn’t that typical militarism.”

Deng Hanxiang suddenly spoke murderously.

It made Pei Jianzhun not sure what Deng Hanxiang meant.Fortunately, Deng Hanxiang quickly said: "Of course, it is best not to fight. But our general will not allow Gansu to be divided. It is a joke that a few town guards dare to expel the local warlord. This time the troops entered Gansu , There is only one purpose, that is, the government and military orders of the whole province must be unified, and no one is allowed to have his own private army. If anyone is disobedient, they should fight or fight."

"Governor Deng, I don't know what you mean by coming to me today?"

Pei Jianzhun originally wanted to have a fight with Deng Hanxiang, but Deng Hanxiang got more and more serious.Therefore, Pei Jianzhun could only ask Deng Hanxiang why he came here today.Deng Hanxiang was very proud when he heard Pei Jianzhun ask himself.

Let you carry it.

In the face of absolute strength, what's the use of holding it.

Duan Xun sent [-] troops into Gansu this time, and what he wanted was to solve the problem in Gansu in a short time.Originally, this army was going to appear on the front line with Cao Kun, but they were all sent to Gansu.

What Deng Hanxiang wants is to solve the problem in Gansu quickly.If it is possible to help Duan Xun at the last moment.

So Deng Hanxiang said leisurely: "Pei Zhenshou, the meaning of my visit to Pei Zhenshou this time is very simple. Hezhou is the place where our army must pass through when entering Lanzhou. Not only Peng Hanzhang's brigade must pass here, but the third division behind , and the headquarters of the Second Army will pass through here. So many troops have to pass through Hezhou, we will never allow the presence of troops that threaten us here, and the existence of regimes that do not obey the management of our troops."

"What if I don't let it?"

"Although it is a very difficult choice, we have to take the first military action after entering Gan. Since Guardian Pei knows the current situation outside, he should know that we don't have much time. If we negotiate now, if we don't succeed, then today In the afternoon we will take military action."

"What if I let it?"

"Guardian Pei, I have already sent people to inquire about it in Hezhou. The Guardian Pei has made remarkable achievements in Hezhou, and he can be regarded as a very capable official. And since the people of Gansu believe that Zhang Guangjian is not suitable for governing in Gansu, then Guard Pei will do it himself."

"Why?"

"Our general invited Pei Zhenshou to be the governor of Gansu, and Pei Zhenshou is fully responsible for the government affairs of Gansu."

Two ways.

Cooperate with us, then we will support you as the governor of Gansu and be fully responsible for the government affairs of Gansu.If we don't cooperate, then it doesn't matter, we will fight.Pei Jianzhun's face was very ugly.

This is not letting oneself choose, it is completely forcing oneself.

Although his own army is also an elite army in Gansu, it is the Zhongwu Army built by Zhou Wuxue in his early years, and it was adapted from a regiment of the Gansu New Army in the late Qing Dynasty.However, when Zhou Wuxue entered Xinjiang last year, he took away part of the loyal army and left part of the loyal army to Pei Jianzhun.There are now fewer than 3000 troops left.

block?

Just really have to fight.

But Pei Jianzhun was not sure.Not only was he not sure, but Pei Jianzhun was really worried.After all, Duan Xun's army is an outsider. Although it is rumored that Duan Xun's army has good military discipline, Pei Jianzhun dare not gamble.

Pei Jianzhun was from Gansu, so he really didn't dare to gamble.If I really blocked their large army and the two sides fought, would Duan Xun's army vent their anger?

"Then what about Zhang Guangjian?"

"He is still his governor of Gansu, but he is only in charge of Gansu military affairs and cannot interfere in Gansu government affairs."

"Hmph, Duan Degong is not inferior to pitting his allies. It seems that Zhang Guangjian is going to follow in Chen Shufan's footsteps."

Pei Jianzhun sneered.

Duan Xun sent tens of thousands of troops into Gansu and let Zhang Guangjian take charge of Gansu military affairs. He can still order your troops to fail.Since you can't order your troops, Zhang Guangjian's so-called responsibility for military affairs in Gansu is just an empty name.

Pei Jianzhun resisted Duan Xun.But even though he resisted Duan Xun, he still said, "Where's my army?"

"Either disband or accept reorganization."

"You make me think about it."

289 Jiangsu-Zhejiang War

On May 1920, 5, Duan Xun, the supervisor of the frontier defense, and Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu, recommended to the Beijing government Pei Jianzhun, the governor of Hezhou, as the governor of Gansu.

However, it was rejected by the Beijing government that day.

Not only dismissed, Wang Chonghui, the prime minister of the interim cabinet of the Beijing government, accused Duan Xun of transferring troops into Gansu without authorization, reprimanded Duan Xun for interfering in the affairs of other provinces without authorization, and ordered Duan Xun to withdraw his troops immediately.But Duan Xun immediately fought back.

The civil strife in Gansu may endanger the security of the border defense. As a border defense supervisor, I must not let it go.At the same time, Duan Xun accused the Beijing government in the name of the border supervisory office.It is a typical dereliction of duty to think that the Beijing government, as the central government, has let the civil strife in Gansu go unnoticed without the slightest responsibility.If the Beijing government cannot even quell local civil strife, then there is no need for the Beijing government to exist.

Duan Xun's tough statement made everyone very nervous.

Because Duan Xun has confronted the Beijing government so strongly for the first time in these years.Of course, because the former Beijing government was controlled by Duan Qirui, Duan Xun will not be like Duan Qirui.

But this is also Duan Xun's strongest statement after the Zhiwan War.

The Beijing government warned Duan Xun again.Duan Xun has no right to intervene in the affairs of other provinces, let alone send troops without authorization.It is required that Duan Xun must withdraw his troops, otherwise the Beijing government will definitely punish Duan Xun.

But Duan Xun ignored the Beijing government, and on May 1920, 5, Pei Jianzhun was appointed governor of Gansu in the name of the border defense supervisor.

Gansu Warlord Zhang Guangjian supported Pei Jianzhun as Governor of Gansu.

At this time, none of the guards in those places in Gansu dared to say a word, and each of them acted like a turtle, completely lacking the momentum of the "five horses driving Zhang".Because Duan Xun's tens of thousands of troops have already poured into Gansu, who dares to shout.Moreover, less than half a month after Duan Xun's troops entered Gansu, some people had defected to Duan Xun.The first person to defect to Duan Xun was Pei Jianzhun, the governor of Hezhou.

Pei Jianzhun's army was also reorganized by Deng Hanxiang.

That's called speed.

As soon as he entered Gansu, he had already secured a guardian envoy.Moreover, Pei Jianzhun is not an ordinary guard envoy. As the most famous guard envoy among the eight guard envoys in Gansu, his defection has had a great impact on Gansu.Coupled with the aggressiveness of Duan Xun's troops, any guard who dares to jump out now will definitely receive a thunderous blow from Duan Xun's troops.

So they were all terrified, and what they were most afraid of was that Duan Xun's troops would find someone to deal with them.The troops of Ma Qi, the guardian of Xining, who was less than a hundred miles away from Lanzhou before, ran back to Xining.They never thought that for Zhang Guangjian's affairs, Duan Xun actually sent 4 troops into Gansu.

However, Duan Xun's appointment of Pei Jianzhun as the governor of Gansu completely angered the Beijing government.After all, the power to appoint local military and political leaders is the greatest power of the Beijing government. If this power is lost, the Beijing government is nothing.

The Beijing government can tolerate anything, but this is absolutely unbearable.

On May 1920, 5, the Beijing government announced again that it would not recognize Pei Jianzhun as governor of Gansu.Immediately afterwards, Duan Xun severely reprimanded Duan Xun for appointing the local governor privately, stating that Duan Xun was pursuing independence and splitting the country.Ask Duan Xun to call immediately to cancel the original resolution.

If not, the Beijing government will inevitably take last resort measures.

However, Duan Xun announced again that he would support Pei Jianzhun as the governor of Gansu.And criticize the Beijing government for playing with power and endangering border security for power.This made the tension between the Beijing government and Duan Xun more and more tense.

On May 1920, 5, the Beijing government finally couldn't help it.President Xu Shichang announced the dismissal of Duan Xun's border defense supervisor and the director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee, and asked the governors and governors of the nine provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Hunan, Guangxi, Hubei, Shaanxi and Henan to be directly responsible to the Beijing government.

The bayonet saw red.

This is the real bayonet hit.

Duan Xun has not made a statement yet. On May 1920, 5, Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang, issued a telegram to oppose the Beijing government's arbitrarily dismissal of Duan Xun, the border supervisor.Not only directly opposed, but also declared the independence of Zhejiang.From now on, break away from the Beijing government.

This is the easiest way.

Every time there is a war with the central government, the first thing these local warlords do is to declare independence.If you don't declare independence, what name do you use to fight the Beijing government?Only by declaring independence can one be qualified to fight the Beijing government.

On May 1920, 5, Duan Xun announced in his capacity as the border defense supervisor and the director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee that he would not accept the Beijing government's decision to dismiss him.Representing the nine provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Hunan, Guangxi, Hubei, Shaanxi and Henan from the Beijing government.Immediately afterwards, Gansu Governor Zhang Guangjian also declared Gansu independence.
