Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎforeadx; Since Chen Jingyun's reopening of the National Assembly in Nanjing, the establishment of the Generalissimo's Office, the situation in China has been in turmoil, and with Chen Jingyun's announcement of the official Northern Expedition, a nationwide war broke out

The Fujian-Zhejiang military group headed by Chen Jingyun, the Yunnan-Guizhou military group headed by Tang Jiyao, and the Guangxi military group headed by Lu Rongting united to form the Generalissimo's Office, forming a loose southern military group and a northern military group headed by Yuan Shikai to start a nationwide struggle

The war broke out in Hunan, Sichuan, and Anhui provinces, in which the Nationalist Army and the Gui Army and the Dian Army marched into Hunan, after two months of fighting, the 10th Division of the Nationalist Army and the 1st Mixed Brigade joined forces, plus a part of the Gui Army, and now they have been engaged in fierce battles with Yang Shande's troops in the Hengyang area, and the 1st Mixed Brigade has made a detour to the north to try to capture Hengdong, but judging from the current battle in Hengyang, it is not too difficult for the combined forces of the Nationalist Army and the Gui Army to win, However, it will take some time, and another important theater of operations in Hunan Province is the Changsha area, which is still in a stalemate, and the Nationalist Army has taken a defensive position, although the Beiyang Army has surpassed the Nationalist Army in strength, but it cannot break through the theater for a while

In the Sichuan region, it is said that it is the struggle between the Southern Coalition Army and the Beiyang Army, in fact, it is Tang Jiyao's Yunnan Army's action to seize Sichuan, the Yunnan Army has continued to invest heavily in the Sichuan region in the past two months, except for a division sent to Hunan and a small number of troops left in Yunnan and Guizhou, the other main forces are basically invested in the Sichuan region, relying on the superiority of troops, the Yunnan Army has continuously captured a large area of Sichuan, and Luzhou, Neijiang, Ya'an and other areas have all fallen under the control of the Yunnan Army. Almost the entire southern part of Sichuan was included in the bag, but this was far from enough for the whole situation in Sichuan, the two important towns of Sichuan, Yucheng and the extent were still in the hands of other warlords in Sichuan, and the first brigade sent by Duan Zhigui had already reached Yucheng, and there was a big battle with the Dian army on the outskirts of Yucheng

The brigade sent by Duan Zhigui is the seventh mixed brigade of the Beiyang Central Army, this is not a miscellaneous unit, it was originally the eleventh brigade of the sixth division of the Beiyang Army, the Beiyang lineage, originally Yuan Shikai did not have the plan of the seventh mixed brigade in the plan to expand the mixed brigade, but before July, Duan Zhigui sent the eleventh brigade under the sixth division to cooperate with a battalion of mountain artillery to form a mixed brigade to go to Yucheng, Sichuan, but due to the distance later, Duan Zhigui also wanted to restore the sixth division to the system. In order to formally organize a supplementary brigade of the 6th Division into the 11th Brigade, the 11th Brigade sent to Yucheng, Sichuan, was given the number of the 7th Mixed Brigade of the Central Army, and the number of the 11th Brigade was supplemented by the supplementary brigade of the 6th Division

The Mu Nai of the 7th Mixed Brigade is the same as the 2nd Mixed Brigade in the Beiyang Army, which is reorganized from the 1st Brigade of the main division of the Beiyang Army, not the other mixed brigades, but the backbone troops are transferred and then formed

After the Seventh Mixed Brigade arrived in Yucheng, Yuan Shikai appointed Ma Jizeng, the brigade commander of the Seventh Mixed Brigade, as the commander of the Yucheng garrison, and after the Seventh Mixed Brigade arrived in Yucheng, he fought fiercely with the Dian Army, in late August, Ma Jizeng took his own Seventh Mixed Brigade as the main force, plus the troops of other small Sichuan warlords and more than 30,000 people of the Seventh Army of the Dian Army launched a fierce battle, and three days later Zhang Jingyao, the commander of the Second Regiment under the Seventh Mixed Brigade, led his troops to attack from the flank and rear, and defeated the 1st Brigade of the 18th Division of the Seventh Army of the Dian Army with a small number of troops. In the end, it caused the overall collapse of the 18th Division, and then Ma Jizeng led his troops to storm the 18th Division and the 19th Division of the Seventh Army of the Yunnan Army, resulting in the first fiasco of the Yunnan Army under the city of Yucheng, the Yunnan Army lost tens of thousands of troops in this battle, and only 20,000 of the 30,000 troops who attacked Yucheng remained, and finally had to suspend the pace of the offensive, while waiting for follow-up reinforcements, Tang Jiyao had to send the Ninth Mixed Brigade from Guizhou to reinforcements, so that the number of the Yunnan Army in Yucheng and the eastern region of Sichuan was concentrated in two divisions and two brigades, The total strength was restored to more than 30,000 people

In addition, the offensive in Chengdu was not very smooth, although there was no opponent like the 7th Mixed Brigade there, but the road was difficult to walk, and those small warlords in Sichuan were not to be underestimated, so that the 20th Division responsible for attacking Chengdu retreated, and now the Yunnan army has not yet been able to reach the city of Chengdu

The wars in Sichuan and Hunan have not attracted much attention from the people because of the progress and hardships, and the importance of the wars in these two places is far less important than the war in Anhui, so they have not attracted much attention from the people, and the people now directly respond to the war in Anhui as soon as they talk about the domestic war, and in the eyes of many people, whether it is the war in Hunan or the war in Sichuan, they are just secondary battlefields, and what really determines the direction of China is the decisive battle between the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army in this area of Anhui and Jiangsu

After taking Chaohu Lake in late August, the Nationalist Army quickly launched a propaganda machine, trumpeting the great martial arts of the Nationalist Army, saying that the Nationalist Army had achieved a decisive victory, laid the foundation ship for defeating Beiyang and unifying China, and doubled the number of annihilated the Beiyang Army, claiming to have eliminated 30,000 people in Chaohu, and the third division of the Beiyang Army

Such deliberate propaganda by the Nationalist Army also quickly aroused people's enthusiasm, and many people even believed that China would be able to reunify in the second half of this year

The truth of the Chaohu war is unknown to ordinary people, but the high-level people of all parties naturally have their source channels, and if you inquire carefully, you will know that although the national army failed to annihilate the Beiyang Army of 30,000 or 40,000, it also annihilated the Beiyang Army of 20,000 small people, although the real Beiyang Army is not more than seven or eight thousand people, but no matter what, this has once again proved the combat effectiveness of the national army!

The combat effectiveness of the national army has been shown in front of the world during the war in southern Jiangsu last year, and it was able to fight on a par with Beiyang at the beginning, if it was because the Beiyang Army was not fully prepared and did not have enough military spending to maintain the war, then this time both sides have been preparing for more than a year, and the Battle of Chaohu is also a serious battle, but there is no element of trickery in it

This made people once again look at the combat effectiveness of the Nationalist Army, and even those diplomats of foreign countries, after analyzing the intelligence of various parties, had to conclude that the Nationalist Army had the ability to compete with the Beiyang Army, and this changed their China policy to some extent

After the United States and the United States recognized the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe as a belligerent group in the Chinese Civil War, Germany, France and other countries also recognized that these countries did not have much vital interests in China, so after getting Chen Jingyun's interests from being violated, that is, as during the Wuchang Uprising, they recognized the Southern Provisional Political Axe as a belligerent group, but Britain still did not recognize it, and refused to start a formal diplomatic conversation with the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe, but as time slowly passed, And after the victory of the National Army in the Chaohu War, the attitude also changed slightly

Although the countries still choose to support Yuan Shikai and Chen Jingyun respectively, it does not mean that they will not choose an alternate path, the interests between countries are very realistic, the reason why Britain supports Yuan Shikai is because it believes that Yuan Shikai can maintain China's fragile unity, but when Britain happens that Yuan Shikai may not be able to unify China, on the one hand, it will continue to support Yuan Shikai, and on the other hand, it is ready for a back road

This point, especially in the British Consul in Shang, Sir Fareis, received Chen Jingyun's personal guarantee that he would recognize the Old Testament, and Chen Jingyun was also very cautious to say that if the Southern Political Axe defeated the Beiyang Army in the future, then the New Political Axe would also undertake the treaties that the Northern Political Axe had publicly signed before July 1913, including the treaty on the repayment of the aftermath of the Great Loan, but all the treaties signed after July 1913 would not be recognized by the New Political Axe

This is not Chen Jingyun's fool, but realistic, the aftermath of the big loan has been talked about for a long time, and the signing was before Chen Jingyun announced the Northern Expedition, at least before July 1913, Chen Jingyun still recognized the Beiyang political axe as China's only legitimate political axe, in addition to this so-called name, there is also an important reason that this large amount of money for the aftermath is huge, if Yuan Shikai loses Chen Jingyun intends to rely on this huge amount of up to 20 million pounds, then the five countries will never give up, It would greatly damage China's relations with many great powers

It is not so easy to tear the skin between countries, especially the First World War is about to break out, it is impossible for China to tear the skin with many powers for 20 million pounds, Chen Jingyun is also counting on the use of this World War I to rise, if it is torn with Britain, France, Russia and other countries during the First World War, then there is no need to play and drown yourself directly by urinating

To put it another way, the United States has given Chen Jingyun so many loans, and if Chen Jingyun fails in the future, Yuan Shikai will still pinch his nose and admit that Chen Jingyun has signed many loan treaties with the United States

Beiyang replaced the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Kuomintang 'Kuomintang' Party replaced Beiyang, and the Labor Party replaced the Kuomintang 'Kuomintang' Party, no matter how the regime rotated, but the treaties between those countries still need to be observed, otherwise with the courage of the Labor Party to send troops to Korea in the 50s, Hong Kong and Macao would have been taken back long ago

In the case of Chen Jingyun's secret weakness, the British side also learned of the defeat of the Beiyang Army in the Chaohu War, so they accepted the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe as a Chinese civil war belligerent group, saying that they would strictly adhere to neutrality in the Chinese Civil War, although this is only a superficial declaration of neutrality, but this is enough, at least the two two training cruisers that have been seized for a long time can finally return to China

Taking advantage of this momentum, Lin Changming, Wu Tingfang and other officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again set their sights on Guan Yushang, and after talking with the consuls of various countries, although there were many differences, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs organized a meeting aimed at resolving the Guan Yu issue, and invited Chen Jingyun to attend in person (
