Chapter 166 165. Zhang Jingyao harmed Sanxiang

During the six or seven years of the Republic of China, Hunan was the battlefield of the Civil War.The situation at that time was that the base camp of the First Division and the Third Mixed Brigade of the Direct Army was in Hengyang, distributed in Qiyang, Leiyang and other counties.The main force of the Seventh Division (Zhang Jingyao's troops) Wu Xintian and Tian Shuxun's two brigades are in Baoqing and Wugang, and the other part is stationed in Changsha.Li Kuiyuan of the 11th Division is in Pingjiang and Liuyang.The 16th Mixed Brigade Feng Yuxiang is in Changde and Taoyuan.In addition, there are Fengjun, Sujun, Lujun, Anwujun and so on stationed in counties in eastern Hunan.As for the Southern Army, the Hunan and Guangxi Army each occupied a corner of Chenyong, but the vast area in the upper reaches of the Yuanshui River fell under the sphere of influence of the Xiangxi Civilian Army, so the area occupied by the Southern Army was also large.

Zhang Jingyao, the governor of Hunan, whose name is Xunchen, was originally from Huoqiu County, Anhui. He has four brothers: Zhang Jingyao, Zhang Jingshun, Zhang Jingyu, and Zhang Jingtang. Zhang Jingyao had a deep view of the north and the south. His army killed people and set fires in Hunan, and they did everything. He took it for granted and killed the enemy.People in Hunan called him Zhang Du instead of Zhang Du, expressing their inner hatred.Also known as Zhang Dujun as Zhang Dujun.There is another saying: In the past, the people of the Xia Dynasty would "perish with Jie", but today the people of Hunan will perish with "Yao, Shun and Yu Tang".Yao Shun Yu Tang refers to the four brothers Zhang Jingyao.

Zhang Jingyao's Seventh Division was the most disciplined division in the Northern Army, and among this division the troops stationed in Changsha were the worst.Therefore, the people of Changsha suffered more than other counties.Zhang Jingyao once expanded a brigade in Hunan and appointed his fourth brother Zhang Jingtang as the brigade commander.Zhang Jingtang is known as the Four Marshals, and he compares himself to Zhuge Liang. He knows Zhuge Liang as Mr. Kong Ming who borrows the wind from the stage, so he sewed a gossip clothes, holding a goose feather fan, walking on stage, calling himself a mountain man, The Ma Bian who asked him said, "Do you think I look like Mr. Wolong?" The Ma Bian replied, "Mr. Wolong can only use tricks, but can't fight. That's comparable to our four commanders who use soldiers like gods and are both wise and brave." I was very happy to hear it.This "Mr. Wolong" often went to the people's homes in Changsha to borrow things and borrow things, and he never paid back what he borrowed. Therefore, the people of Changsha have jokes about Kong Ming being a thief.Mr. Wolong knows it underground, but what do you think?

Although Zhang Jingyao was known as the military governor, his influence could only reach the front lines of Changsha and Baoqing, and he had no right to intervene in areas other than the 7th Division's garrison.When Wu Peifu delivered the horse report, Zhang Jingyao declared martial law in Changsha in a panic and asked the Beijing government for reinforcements.At this time, the 11th Division voluntarily withdrew from Ping and Liu counties to Changsha. The local teams of the two counties were guarding the county seat, and there was a tendency to brew independence.The 11th Division is the northern army that is close to the direct line. In Changsha City, it is on guard with the 7th Division, just like an enemy country.

When Zhang Jingyao was in Xuzhou as the supervisor of the border defense and suppression of bandits in Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui, he recruited Mao Sizhong, an accumulative bandit, and adopted him as his adopted son.The Fifth Regiment are legal bandits in national army uniforms.The Fourth Marshal and the Young Marshal are both Zhang Jingyao's confidantes, so Zhang Jingyao kept them by his side for protection. During Zhang Jingyao's tenure as the Governor of Hunan, it was the heyday of Spring and Autumn. September 21, 8 was his 40th birthday. Beforehand, the General Staff Office of the Supervisory Office circulated a letter to all agencies:

"Because the commander-in-chief's birthday is approaching, I have been ordered to prepare a security measure to avoid other dangers. The chief of staff of the supervisory office will be the temporary security commander of the provincial capital, and another deputy commander will be appointed. There will be one inspection commander inside and outside the city, and the commander-in-chief of martial law in the provincial capital. One member, one member of the Public Security Commander, assigned the military and police to be responsible for the defense of the four cities. The detective team, the inspectorate, the law enforcement department, the detection department, and the gendarmerie battalion all sent people to search the streets, check pedestrians and hotels. The police increased the number of posts, and there were no passwords at night It cannot be passed. This measure starts three days before the birthday and ends three days after the birthday."

September 21st (the 28th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar) is Zhang Dushuai's birthday. Beforehand, there is a Daqing preparatory office for Shuaizuo. There are four kinds of 300 yuan and 200 yuan, and the preparatory office will appoint the gentry and merchants in the province to recognize them, and designate the eight major hotels in the city as guest houses.The supervisory office carried out large-scale construction and built a new stage. Zhang Jingtang, the fourth general, went to Hankou to invite a group of famous Kunjiaoer.The birthday banquet opened 400 tables. From three days before the date of death, all the guards of the supervisory office were equipped with bayonets, and machine guns and water dragons were set up at the east and west gates as a guard. Passengers without proper occupations were all deported by the military and police. On the 21st, the team sending flags and umbrellas stretched for two miles, and the traffic was cut off. Only the words "mainstay", "Southern Gancheng", "Gonggao Wuyue", "Debei Sanxiang" and other words were seen.In addition, there are many people who donate gold mountains and golden Buddhas.

The biggest feature of Zhang Jingyao's governance of Hunan is corruption. As long as he can make money, he dares to do no matter what is illegal. Openly transport drugs. On December 25, 8, he sent troops to transport five bags of opium, each bag weighing 200 catties, and was found by the station manager at the Wuchang Nyudao Station. Although he was released, the scandal has been exposed.He stole and sold Hunan's No. 1 Spinning Mill, and collected 5 million yuan in sports fees to steal and sell Hunan mines. He also charged passport fees for exporting rice under the pretext of purchasing military rice.

Zhang Jingyao's bloody rule in Changsha aroused the resentment of the Hunan people. Therefore, students and people from all walks of life held meetings and gave speeches, demanding peace.Zhang Jingyao believes that these activities are acts of rioters.All schools, public places, and ancestral halls and temples in Changsha are full of troops. The entire city of Changsha is like a murderous barracks. Schools cannot resume classes, and business and other normal activities are restricted.Also under the occupation of the Northern Army, the situation in Changsha is different from that in Hengyang and Changde.Hengyang and Changde have much greater freedom.

After the election of the Anfu National Assembly, someone suggested to Zhang Jingyao to re-elect the Hunan Provincial Assembly, making it a royal institution that sings praises.Zhang Zheng suffered from being scolded by all parties, so of course he immediately adopted it.However, Changsha's chambers of commerce, education associations, farmers' associations, student unions, and press unions all refused to re-election to the provincial council on the grounds that Hunan had not yet been reunified, and instead formed a "federation of all walks of life." Zhang Jingyao was furious at the opposition from all parties. Ordered the dissolution of the "Federation of All walks of life" and arrested the person in charge.Some people persuaded Zhang to form another "Hunan Citizens' Association" to fight against the "Federation of All walks of life".The two associations started a fierce competition, both claiming to be a people's organization representing public opinion, and accusing the other of falsely prescribing public opinion.

In order to win the sympathy of the people, the two sides decided to hold an open debate at the Education Association.Zhang Jingyao ordered the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment to set up armed sentries around the meeting place, but the "Federation of All walks of life" had a large number of people and were not threatened. During the meeting, Zhang Jizhong was fully armed, wearing a long-handled Oriental command knife on his waist, and stood proudly. at the podium.The young marshal was very annoyed at the crowd's welcome to the "Federation of All walks of life" and wanted to arrest people, which turned the meeting place into a mess.The re-election of the provincial council ended in abort. When the Five Kingdoms were advising the North and the South of peace, Tang Jiyao, the governor of Yunnan, blamed Zhang Jingyao, the governor of Hunan, for attacking western Hunan and breaking the peace. Zhang Jingyao then sent a frugal telegram (December 28): "The dispute over the wall is really painful. Jingyao respects peace, and it is truly forgiven by the people of the country. Jingyao is a warrior who understands current affairs. How could he bear the suspicion of being in the same room and be willing to fall into the disaster of ruin. ...... Last year in Xuzhou Before departure, Zeng sent a telegram to the central government to advocate peace, and when he went to Han Dynasty, he made a euphemistic statement of the purpose of peace, but neither side adopted it. It can be tested." Zhang Jingyao said that he is deeply aware of current affairs, which is really dumbfounding. At that time, the people who had always been the protagonists no longer had any murderous powers, but everyone was embarrassed to express their desire for peace, and only Zhang Jingyao sang by himself. , claiming to be a prophet of peace.When everyone was reading his frugal telegram, they remembered that before he set off in Xuzhou, he denounced Mr. Xiushuai (Li Chun was Zhang Jingyao’s chief, so he was called Mr. Xiushuai) as a traitor of the Beiyang faction, and denounced Wang Zhanyuan and Chen Guangyuan for delaying the peace He also fabricated the news that Feng Guozhang secretly telegraphed the peace, which caused a serious misunderstanding between the two factions of Zhi and Anhui.After arriving in Hankou, he sent out a telegram that "kill the enemy and bring fruit, and you will be happy with it", and lied about the military exploits of occupying Puqi.Once upon a time, he now coyly calls himself the god of peace.Xu Shichang later had the idea of ​​reducing troops and abolishing governors. He immediately published a good news (January 9, 8) to cater to Xu and advocated reducing troops and building roads.The people of Hunan were opposed to the re-election of the provincial council. He actually knew that the public opinion was formidable and stopped the re-election. However, what is the achievements of this "Zhang Du" in governing Hunan?Since he took charge of Hunan, there have been robberies every day in the provincial capital, and rape and burning have become commonplace. The Changyue District he was stationed in was called the Nine Nether Eighteen Prisons by the Hunan people. Qin Yuan moved.The Hunan people's organization drove the petition groups to separate ways. Some went to Beijing to cry, some went to Guangzhou to ask for help, and some went to southern Hunan to cry and beg for teachers from Wu Peifu.Hunan celebrities who lived in Beijing launched a campaign to save the province in order to drive Zhang away.It can be said that at this time every Hunanese was Zhang Jingyao's enemy.Zhang himself felt serious about this situation, so he instructed Zhang Xianzan, the chairman of the chamber of commerce, to send a telegram to persuade the Hunanese who were abroad to return to their hometowns, but no Hunanese wanted to return to this hell. Zhang Jingyao's search made all the people in Hunan gnash their teeth.Xiong Xiling, who used to be the prime minister of the cabinet, was originally a moderate figure who never wanted to offend people, but there was someone who couldn't stop talking about Sangzi.Zhang Zeng sent Xiong Xiling as the disaster supervisor in Hunan, but he refused to accept it. Instead, he advised Zhang to love Hunan and not to overdo it.Zhang questioned Xiong about any evidence of corruption and perverting the law, and Xiong became angry, and replied Zhang Yidian: "As far as my servants have heard, deacons who earn a year's income in Hunan will withhold two million and hundreds of thousands of salt taxes from the central government, add more than two hundred thousand in salt taxes, privately add protection fees of more than one and a half million for salt tickets, and pay one hundred thousand in money and food. More than 10,000 yuan, more than 1.2 million yuan in copper dollars, hundreds of thousands of lijin, and more than one million yuan in public property auctions, totaling more than 8 million yuan. In addition, the central government will raise military salaries to reach tens of millions. Its revenue is set at 40 yuan per yuan If there are more than 15 strings of money notes issued, the benefits will be even greater. The army of deacons is no more than 40,000, and the income of more than 20 million yuan can be used to pay half of it. Monthly military supplies? Brutal people die when they are dead, and the rich family is killed. Too much money is a harm, not a blessing.... Soldiers' words and deeds are based on faith, deacons ask themselves the facts, and fight against electronic paper Is it consistent with the official words? That is to say, the current contract between the province's mine sales and the British merchants is convincing, but the Ministry of Deacon Electricity has not yet recognized it...." Zhang Jingyao once cut Hunan's education funds by more than half, and later stipulated that depreciated Yuxiang bank notes should be issued when distributing funds, but all schools must receive funds with full receipts.Yuxiang Bank is a bureaucratic capital bank established by Zhang Jingyao and related people, which issue banknotes indiscriminately and absorb cash.Of course, Hunan's educational undertakings are extremely difficult under such circumstances.In the end, Zhang Jingyao simply used the education funds as military pay to fill his own pockets.Principals of various schools in Hunan were forced to borrow money to survive, and teachers were also forced to work on their own.Schools in Changsha City are generally stationed with soldiers, and the soldiers overwhelm the hosts. The staff and students are inspected every time they come in and out. The school retreats to a small place in the school for classes. The classroom is also a dormitory and a canteen. It was seriously damaged, and the doors, windows and floors were also removed for firewood.The original mechanical practice field of Type A industrial school was used for students' practice. Zhang Jingyao ordered the factory machinery to be merged into the army factory, and the boiler was used to boil opium. In April 1988, when the Shanghai Peace Conference discussed the issue of replacing the Governor of Hunan, Zhang Jingyao ordered the governor of Changsha County, Ji Bingyuan, to invite the principals of all schools to hold a joint meeting at the Governor's Office, coercing them to sign and send a telegram to retain the Governor in exchange for the distribution of education funds.The principals of the schools were unwilling to betray their personality and refused to sign their names. Some fled to other provinces to avoid the attack.Zhang Jingyao gritted his teeth for it, hating it to the bone.He falsely accused Hu Yuantan, the principal of Mingde School, as the Tan Yankai Party, and Zhu Jianfan, the principal of Yuannan Girls' School, as the Socialist Party.Chen Runlin, the principal of Chuyi School, also served as the chairman of the education association, and refused to be used by the warlords. Zhang Jingyao sent Zhang Jizhong, the head of his fifth regiment, to lead troops to surround Chuyi School and force Chen to leave. On November 10, 198, all the teaching staff in Changsha City resigned because they could not maintain their lives.During this period, school strikes in various provinces and cities across the country were all initiated by students because of diplomatic issues. However, the school strike in Changsha was initiated by teachers due to arrears of education funds, which is a characteristic of the strike movement.The Hunan Students' Federation was disbanded twice, but it is still secretly active.During the suspension period, students engaged in a boycott of Japanese goods. On December 2, in order to support the Fujian case, students in Changsha burned the Japanese goods they had seized for many days at the Education Association. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingyao, the younger brother of the Fourth Marshal Zhang Jingtang, led troops to intervene and ordered the soldiers to beat up the students. The students were seriously injured. Dozens of people.Xu Qingyu and other five people were tied up by the soldiers with hemp ropes, photographed and threatened to be shot immediately.Zhang Jingtang scolded the students for being instructed by Xiong Xiling and others for daring to interfere with the business of the merchants and damage the diplomatic relations between China and Japan.At the same time, Zhang Jingyao intensified and ordered soldiers to beat the students in the street, so that the students in Changsha did not dare to go to the street or go to school. On December 6, Changsha elementary schools and above announced that all schools were dismissed, including Yale-China University, which is run by the church.Only two church girls' schools, Yifang and Fuxiang, continued to attend school. The people of Hunan were raped, robbed, murdered, and set on fire by Zhang's subordinates. They thought they were no different from living robbers, but under Zhang's despotic power, they dared to be angry and dare not speak out.Because in the 5th year of the Republic of China, Zhang Jingyao led the Seventh Division to station in Luoyang, and all those who accused the soldiers of looting were beaten to death with random sticks, so the sufferers did not dare to come forward to accuse.The people in southern Hunan are stubborn, but under the pressure of Zhang Jingyao's bandit army, there is nothing they can do. Long before Wu Peifu's division withdrew its defenses, there was a "petition group to expel Zhang" in Hunan, which petitioned respectively to the North and South governments, the Shanghai Peace Conference, and Hengyang where Wu Peifu was stationed.The petition group to expel Zhang was first initiated by students, and representatives from all walks of life took the lead to participate. Soon the provincial council and various groups joined in secret. Students from Hunan province who lived in Beijing, lived in Shanghai, and Hunan students from other provinces also joined. Hunan gentry Xiong Xiling, Fan Yuanlian, Guo Zongxi, etc. A group of moderates also joined.Finally, the "National Peace Federation" also fully sponsored the expulsion movement of the Hunan people. October 22, 8 was the commemoration of the recovery of Hunan. Hunan people embraced the pain of the lost province. Students held strikes and parades. All the participants were in tears. On January 20, 9, Tan Yankai sent a telegram stating that the Yuxiang people were called "deer hogs", worse than black slaves in Africa. The Hunan people’s petition group that went to Beijing was divided into two groups. One was the student petition group, accusing the northern soldiers of occupying schools, stopping education funds, and expelling celebrities in the education circle. Search for facts. The Beijing authorities replied to the petition group: "The key to the difficulty of Governor Yi is that Hunan is the front line of the military. I am afraid that it will affect the overall situation. It is not that the government does not understand the wishes of the people of Hunan. Now the government plans to appoint a governor to divide his powers, but This is also difficult to do, as the government feels ashamed of Hunan." Former Jilin Governor Guo Zongxi retorted: "Now it is the responsible cabinet, and the responsible cabinet is not ashamed." At that time, the prime minister was still Jin Yunpeng, although Jin wanted to change Zhang, but he was powerless, so facing the criticism from the Hunan people, he had no choice but to bow and bow. Fan Yuanlian led the charges against Zhang Jingyao for the five major crimes against Hunan. In the last few words, he said: "If Hunan Province is the land of the Republic of China, and the people of Hunan are the people of the Republic of China, please go to harm the people of Hunan first, and give more blessings to the government of Hunan." The petition was handed over to Xu Shichang, declaring that if one of the accusations was false, he would be punished by resignation. Since the Beijing government refused to replace Zhang Jingyao, the petition to expel Zhang was fruitless.Although Wu Peifu won the favor of the Hunan people, he withdrew his defense and returned to the north.The Hunan people had no way out, and the petition was invalid, so they had to resort to the Hunan Army for a fight.At this time, the Hunan Army was really pitiful, lacking both pay and equipment, and the designation was only the first division of the regular army, and some miscellaneous troops. The total number of guns that could be used was only about 3,000, and the bullets were even more scarce.The common people in Hunan called them the "Beggar Army" in a self-deprecating way.The Hunan Army has always fought side by side with the Gui Army, and the Gui Army is better equipped and trained than the Hunan Army, and has more people than the Hunan Army. They are used to opportunism. When fighting, they put other troops in front and their own troops behind. In the spring of 7 years, the Guangxi army retreated without a fight on the Hunan battlefield. Let alone disperse forces to help the Hunan Army. When Wu Peifu withdrew his defense, he repeatedly stated in private that "Xiang is a matter of self-determination for the people of Hunan".He himself aspires to the Central Plains, and has no intention of staying in Hunan. He cannot take care of the Hunan army's war to drive Zhang.However, he believed that the Hunan Army would win, because Zhao Hengti was a brave general, and he had the right time, place and people.And Zhang Jingyao's troops all robbed to get rich, and once the army had money, they naturally refused to fight tough battles.The Hunan army and the Hunan people must do everything they can to save the village, so he predicted that when the gunshots fired, Zhang Jun must have followed the best strategy of thirty-six tactics, and fled with full load. On the day Wu Division withdrew its defenses, the Hunan Army immediately issued a general attack order. The soldiers of the whole army were cheering and eager to fight. In order to save weapons and ammunition, Zhao Hengti ordered that the enemy should not be fired indiscriminately until the enemy approached. On May 26, 9, the Hunan Army began a general attack. On May 27 and 28, the Hunan Army occupied Qiyang and Leiyang counties, and the forward advanced to Dongyangpu, which is more than 20 miles away from Hengyang.The Hunan Army advanced quickly, but the Northern Army retreated quickly. As soon as the gunfire in Hunan was fired, Duan Qirui immediately and eloquently denounced the southern army for betraying their faith, willing to be the leader of the army, and destroying peace. He suggested that the Beijing government issue an explicit crusade.Xu Shichang believed that the Hunan issue was a local issue and had nothing to do with the North-South issue, so he refused to issue a crusade order.Because Xu Shichang knew that the problems in Hunan were caused by the Hunan people's opposition to Zhang Jingyao's high-handed and brutal rule. For several years, there was no result in calling for Zhang Jingyao to drive him away. Therefore, today he was forced to shout the slogan "Xiang Shi Hunan people's self-determination", which must achieve the goal of driving Zhang Jingyao away. the goal of.So this is just a partial issue of a local opposition to a chief, and has nothing to do with the Civil War.However, Duan Xi believed that this problem was serious, and he also ordered the governors of Shaanxi, Gansu, Shandong, Anhui, and Zhejiang provinces to send a joint telegram, not only urging an explicit order to crusade against the Hunan army, but also saying: "As soon as the Wu army withdraws, the southern army will immediately advance. The enemy's situation." Requested the Beijing government to send personnel to investigate Wu Peifu. Zhang Jingyao heard that the general attack of the Hunan Army seemed like a catastrophe was imminent, so he immediately took emergency measures. While withdrawing the military family members, he telegraphed the Beijing government to issue a crusade order.His distress telegrams ranged from one hundred thousand to one million to ten million.Telegrams asking for money and weapons flew to Beijing like snowflakes. The people of Hunan launched guerrilla warfare all over the mountains and plains. The kind-hearted people who were oppressed by Zhang Jingyao in the past have now become soldiers who outflank the rear of the northern soldiers.In the past, Cai E, a native of Hunan, defeated Emperor Hong Xian with three thousand weak soldiers, but now three thousand broken guns also killed Zhang Jingyao with fear.Zhang falsely signed the names of Zhang Zongchang, Fan Guozhang, Feng Yuxiang, etc. in the telegram urging the Beijing government to issue a crusade order, and then explained to Zhang Zongchang, Fan Guozhang, Feng Yuxiang, etc. in Jiangdian on June 3: "Please issue a crusade order The honorary title has already been listed. You must express your consent, and the story has not been submitted for review before the story." Originally Zhang Jingyao was known as the Beiyang general, but he did not fight at all on the Hunan battlefield. He did not fight against his subordinates. Collapse, explained as: "In order to preserve peace, our army has given way to defense...." On May 29, Hengyang fell into the hands of the Hunan Army.Zhang Jingyao's generals were defeated without a fight, so he had to send his younger brother "Mr. Wolong" Zhang Jingtang as the commander-in-chief of Aid Heng, and promised to let himself be the commander of the Seventh Division as a reward.Zhang Sishuai generously swore to his master, and set off majesticly on the eight-man Lvtie Bridge. Two big lanterns were hung behind the sedan chair, and the four characters of "Commander-in-Chief Zhang" in Zhu Shu were surrounded by hundreds of armed guards. people.The situation of swallowing bullfights made Changsha people look forward to it, and they were worried about the hungry and thin Hunan army. On June 3, Commander-in-Chief Zhang ran to Xiangtan, but did not advance.At this time, the Hunan army was full of bullfighting. Taking advantage of Hengyang, they won Baoqing in another battle, and Zhang Zongchang also fled in despair. On June 5, Zhang Siye, the commander-in-chief of the Aid Heng Army, heard that the Hunan Army had killed him, so he fled back to Changsha desperately, covered in mud, like a mud bodhisattva.In fact, he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. Zhang Jingyao panicked and hurriedly dealt with the emergency.The magistrate of Changsha County was ordered to recruit a transport team, but none of them applied. The Northern Army was soliciting gangsters everywhere in the streets and alleys. At the same time, it ordered the Transportation Bureau and the General Chamber of Commerce to raise the army's salary. Zhang Xianzan, the chairman of the General Chamber of Commerce, was taken hostage. 800,000, the General Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to send people to ring gongs inside and outside the city to announce that each household would draw a month's rent, and send it to the Superintendent's Office every day.Zhang Jingyao declared that he would defend Changsha to the death, which frightened the people of Changsha to death, and the people abandoned their homes and fled one after another. Zhang Jingyao restricted each person who went out of the country to carry Sichuan funds to no more than 50 yuan.At this time, he no longer sent troops to the front line, and only tried his best to blackmail Changsha every day.The people of Changsha were afraid that he would really destroy the city of Changsha, so they had to endure everything. The Hunan Army was in a state of invincibility, the Northern Army was trapped in Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, and the situation in Changsha became increasingly serious. On June 7, Zhang Jingyao sent a telegram to the Beijing government in a different tone, saying that his army was "not for internal use, and the soldiers were unwilling to fight against the southern army, so they retreated steadily. ... When foreign aggression became urgent, the country Raising troops is not easy, and keeping this army for dignified use, why should we bear to sacrifice ourselves in the civil war.” At the same time, he contradictoryly shifted the responsibility for the defeat to others, and said angrily: “The Southern Army only made things difficult for the Seventh Division. The guest army all stood on the sidelines, did not fire a single shot, and retreated when they encountered the enemy." Zhang Jingyao's words in the first half of the power-on were very correct, but from his mouth, it felt very unpleasant.
