Beiyang reactionaries

"But, Commander. If you leave, what will our Hunan Army do?"

Zhao Hengti was the most anxious.

In the past, Tan Yankai and Zhao Hengti were allies within the Hunan Army, and outside the alliance with Cao Kun.But now that Cao Kun has completely lost power, and Tan Yankai is about to be transferred, he is under great pressure no matter whether it is external or internal.

Externally, Duan Xun is getting stronger and stronger.Internally, people like Cheng Qian and Lin Xiumei had a bad relationship with Zhao Hengti.Of course, it's not that the personal relationship is bad. On the contrary, Cheng Qian and Zhao Hengti have a very good personal relationship and have known each other for more than ten years.In the early years, they were friends and classmates in Hunan. Later, the two went to Japan together, studying in Zhenwu Academy and Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy together.

But the ideas are different, and the relationship is naturally not good.

With Tan Yankai, Zhao Hengti and the others can certainly suppress Cheng Qian and the others.But without Tan Yankai, how could Zhao Hengti suppress Cheng Qian, Lin Xiumei and other heroes of the Hunan Army.

Tan Yankai did not answer Zhao Hengti's words.On the other hand, Cheng Qian suddenly said, "Commander, how will Duan Xun treat our Hunan Army?"

Cheng Qian had always been the main combat faction before.

The relationship with the Beiyang Army is particularly bad.During the Dharma War, he fought the Beiyang Army many times.But now the Beiyang army is powerful, and in terms of strength, Duan Xun is completely different from Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, and Cao Kun before them.

Their previous army inherited the model left by the Hunan Army and Huai Army in the early years, relying on the support of the generals below.Many of the troops below are the private property of those generals.

But Duan Xun is different.

Take another path.In terms of the control and cohesion of the troops, the old warlords of the Beiyang Army are not at the same level as Duan Xun.Even Yuan Shikai's control over the Beiyang Army is not as good as Duan Xun's control over the troops.

In this way, Duan Xun's current army is very powerful.

Cheng Qian is a very good general.I understand that dealing with the current Duan Xun is much more difficult than fighting the Beiyang Army in the Dharma Protection War.Although the Beiyang Army at that time was not torn apart, there were many internal contradictions.

But now facing Duan Xun who has almost unified the Beiyang Army, Cheng Qian is not sure.

"I do not know."

Tan Yankai shook his head.

And no self-righteous analysis.But Tan Yankai still said: "But you don't have to worry too much. Among our Hunan Army troops, there are not one or two people under Duan Xun. The current position is not low, and Duan Xun has not treated them differently. I heard recently that Yao Zu (He Yaozu) has already become the commander of the Beijing Garrison. This shows that Duan Xun is still able to know people and take care of them well, and he will not treat truly talented people slowly."

Tan Yankai is a very outstanding politician in this era.

When he was young, he was one of the "Three Princes of Huxiang" who were famous in Hunan. Before he was 30, he was already the leader of Hunan's constitutional faction.He was born as a literati, but he was able to have a few ups and downs, and he was also able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army. His skills are very good.

But it's hard to say now, how Duan Xun will treat the Hunan army next.

"Commander, why don't we try to see what Duan Xun means? Now that the whole country is in the hands of Duan Xun, we can't fight against the whole country with one corner."

Zhao Hengti tentatively asked Tan Yankai.

ideal?

belief?

What is that.Zhao Hengti only knew one thing.As the saying goes, those who follow the sky will be free, and the most important thing for a person is to know the current affairs.As the old saying goes, those who know current affairs are brilliant.

On the other hand, Lin Xiumei frowned and said: "Duan Xun is Duan Qirui's successor, and he does the same thing as Duan Qirui. Our French Guardian Army was established to oppose the establishment of Duan Qirui's government, even if it is no longer During the period of protecting the law, how can we make peace with Duan Xun. I think we should talk to Mr. Sun and contact the Guangdong Army to see if we can reach a consensus and act in unison."

It's not that Lin Xiumei doesn't understand the current situation.

But he was still not reconciled.

As a revolutionary party, if they succumb to Duan Xun, what is the significance of their revolution.As a revolutionary party who participated in the Revolution of [-], the Second Revolution, the War to Protect the Country, and the War to Protect the Law, Lin Xiumei has always been unable to let go.Lin Xiumei believed that the Hunan Army should still contact Sun Yat-sen and listen to Sun Yat-sen's thoughts.

Cheng Qian didn't speak.

During the Law Protection Movement, Cheng Qian was still a staunch main fighter.But after these years, many of Cheng Qian's thoughts had been extinguished.So when Lin Xiumei spoke, he didn't chime in.

Tan Yankai sighed.

Looking at this Lin Xiumei who was very different from him before, Tan Yankai no longer has the grudges of the past at this time.He said directly, "Xiu Mei."

It's hard to come by.

Tan Yankai rarely called Lin Xiumei's name, and even Cheng Qian, who was silent, looked up at Tan Yankai.During the Second Revolution, Tan Yankai swung from side to side, and his relationship with the Revolutionary Party broke down long ago.During the Dharma War, Tan Yankai was determined to negotiate peace with the Beiyang Army, and had a very bad relationship with Cheng Qian and Lin Xiumei, the main combat factions.

But Tan Yankai's name surprised everyone.Because Tan Yankai has not called the general of the main combat faction so affectionately for many years.Lin Xiumei herself was very surprised.

"If you believe me, then don't contact Mr. Sun and the Guangdong Army in a short time."

"commander."

"If I were Duan Xun, the next step would be the issue of the Guangdong Army."

"Cantonese Army?"

"It also includes Mr. Sun, and the KMT issue."

Several people present frowned.

It doesn't matter whether it's a war faction or a peace faction, everyone's identity is the Kuomintang.Of course, the Kuomintang is a mixed party, and the Tongmenghui was originally a hodgepodge.Later, in order to expand the size of the Kuomintang, Song Jiaoren recruited anyone who was even slightly famous.Even many bigwigs of the Beiyang Army joined the Kuomintang at that time.

Including Zhao Bingjun, the assassin of Song Jiaoren who was later corrected by Sun Yat-sen and others, that is also a serious Kuomintang.Because of this situation, Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Kuomintang, did not know how many people there were in the Kuomintang.

"What will Duan Xun do? Is it the use of force?"

"do not know."

Tan Yankai shook his head.But he said with certainty: "I can't guess how Duan Xun will make a move. But I know he will definitely do it, and he will do it within this year. Duan Xun is a terrible person. Once he makes a move, he will be thunderous. If you don't Any chance for you to fight back. Xiumei, and you, if you believe me, just wait, don't worry about getting involved with the Guangdong Army, it's not good for you."

People say that when a person is about to die, his words are good.

Tan Yankai was about to leave the Hunan Army now, and suddenly found that the previous conflicts were nothing.No matter how much everyone fights with each other, in the end we are still a system.

Others will put everyone together to watch.

Hunan army origin.

That being the case, what's the deal.

Tan Yankai was a very smart politician. Although he didn't know Duan Xun's next move, he had keenly guessed that Duan Xun's next move would definitely be to deal with Sun Yat-sen, the Kuomintang, and the Cantonese army.

That's why Lin Xiumei was warned to stay away from them.

"Several, take care."

"Commander, take care."

On January 1921, 1, Tan Yankai, Commander-in-Chief of the Hunan Army, sent a telegram in Hengyang, accepting the appointment of the Beijing government.Although it will be the Spring Festival soon, Tan Yankai expressed that he is willing to go north instead of staying at home for the New Year for disaster relief.Tan Yankai's statement was unanimously appreciated by the national public opinion. Arrived in Changsha on January 27, 1921, took a train from Changsha, which is the northern section of the Guangdong-Han Railway, and entered Wuchang.Then came the Beijing-Han Railway, all the way to Beijing.

On February 1921, 2, Duan Xun received Tan Yankai in Beijing, and formally appointed Tan Yankai as the general manager of logistics materials management of the Disaster Relief Committee.

Many people are paying attention to how Duan Xun will deal with the Hunan Army.
