Chapter 225 224. The Battle of the Yangtze River

The Feng faction, the National Army faction, and the Anhui faction had their own conflicts. After the collapse of the Zhili faction, the three victorious factions each had their own ideas. Feng Yuxiang said he was sick and petitioned for resignation four times.Zhang Zuolin went to Beijing and left Beijing. Later, he sent a telegram to cancel the name of the Zhenwei Army. Feng Yuxiang also sent a telegram to cancel the name of the National Army, and immediately dismissed the commander-in-chief of the National Army.All this shows that there are many problems. On December 7, 2013, Zhang Zuolin convened a meeting in Tianjin with Lu Yongxiang, Wu Guangxin and Fengjun generals to discuss solutions to the Yangtze River provinces.Although Lu Yongxiang and Wu Guangxin belonged to the Anhui clan, before the second Zhifeng war, they all went outside the customs to communicate with Feng Zhang, and Feng Zhang also regarded them as his own.

During the meeting in Tianjin, it was decided to ask Duan Zhizheng to order the removal of Qi Xieyuan, who was directly affiliated with Qi Xieyuan, from his position. If Qi Xieyuan rebelled, the Fengjun could gather 60,000 people to go south to ask for Qi Xieyuan. On the same day, Sun Yuedian of the National Army resigned, willing to hand over one division and four brigades under the direct control of the Ministry of Army. In fact, the unit was led by Sun's chief of staff, He Sui, and entered Kaifeng from Jiandao. He had announced his appointment as the acting governor of Henan. On December 11, the interim government issued an order: "Jiangsu governor Qi Xieyuan was dismissed, and the Jiangsu governor was abolished as soon as there was a shortage. Jiangsu governor Han Juntemporary supervised the aftermath of Jiangsu military affairs. Specially appointed Lu Yongxiang as the envoy of Su and Anhui Xuanfu, Lu Yongxiang's Zhili If there is a vacancy in supervision, Li Jinglin will take over temporarily."

It was also ordered: "Mi Zhenbiao, the governor of Rehe, came to Beijing to serve, and the army under his jurisdiction handed over Kan Chaoxi to a proper order, and appointed Kan Chaoxi to act as the governor of Rehe." In this series of personnel transfers, there are complicated factional issues. Duan Qirui hoped that Lu Yongxiang would be the governor of Zhili. Lu was a member of the Duan family, so of course there were many conveniences, while Zhang Zuolin hoped that the territory of Zhili would be in the hands of his own family. Feng Yuxiang also hoped that Zhili could send people from the Feng family.At the Tianjin meeting, Zhang Zuolin wanted to expand the power of the Feng family to the Yangtze River, so he urged Lu Yongxiang to return to the southeast, and Lu Nengrong to return to the southeast, which was also a selfish wish.However, Li Jinglin served as the supervisor of Zhili. Such an arrangement was very disappointing to Sun Yue of the Feng family. Sun Yue also thought about the territory of Zhili.Li Jinglin's troops were advancing on Sun's troops. Sun Yue had withdrawn the troops entering Henan to increase the strength of Baoding.

The Beijing government had to deal with these two forces in an unbalanced manner. For the Feng family, Zhang Zhijiang was successively appointed as the governor of Chahar, Li Mingzhong was the governor of Suiyuan, and Feng Yuxiang was appointed as the supervisor of the Northwest Frontier. The influence in Beijing still exists.Regarding Sun Yue, on the one hand, he acquiesced that Sun's troops were still stationed directly in the territory, and at the same time appointed Sun as the commander-in-chief of Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and bandit suppression.Feng Yuxiang was generally satisfied with these arrangements, so on January 13, 2014, Feng Yuxiang announced the cancellation of the vacation, and went to the Northwest for inspection. Sun also expressed his willingness to assume the new position.

As for Zhang Zuolin, Li Jinglin was announced as the supervisor of military affairs in Zhili, and Zhang was appointed as the supervisor of the Northeast Frontier Defense and the supervisor of reclamation affairs. Zhang Zuolin also led his troops back to Fengtian on January 11, 2014. The Qilu War was the continuation of the first Zhifeng War. Zhiqi drove away Wanlu, and Lu Yongxiang went out to join Zhang Zuolin. In the second Zhifeng War, the Zhili suffered a disastrous defeat. The Beijing executive government ordered Qi Xie to be exempted from the Jiangsu military governor, and South Korea Jun to supervise the aftermath of Jiangsu military affairs.In order to worry about Qi Xieyuan's disobedience, he took Lu Yongxiang as the Xuanfu envoy of Jiangsu and Anhui, and led the Feng army to go south along the Jinpu Railway.The Jiangsu problem took a turn for the worse.

Qi Xieyuan was not popular in Jiangsu, and his subordinates gradually became eccentric, so they dared not disobey orders. After the Beijing executive government issued the personnel order on December 11, Qi called Duan Qirui on the 12th, willing to hand over to Han Guojun on the 14th.However, Qi also had his plans. He ordered Gong Bangduo to return to the position of commander of the Sixth Division, and the Chief of Staff Liu Yuke succeeded Gong as the commander of the Nineteenth Division. On the 14th, Han Guojun received a telegram to accept Qi Xieyuan's account, and took up the post as temporary supervisor of the aftermath of Jiangsu's military affairs.The generals of the Soviet army expressed their understanding of the governor's will and obeyed Han's instructions, but opposed other military officials coming to the Soviet Union and endangering the Soviet territory.It means Lu Yongxiang.

The generals of the Soviet army wanted to use Han Jun to make the transition to prevent Lu Yongxiang from leading the Feng army to go south, but the southward march of Lu Yongxiang and Feng army was a foregone conclusion. In this way, not only the Soviet army felt threatened, but the gentry in Suzhou also expressed their opposition.Qi Xieyuan had already decided to leave Nanjing, but he changed his decision, thinking that both morale and people's hearts could do something, so he planned to use the name of the commander-in-chief of security to dispatch the troops of Jiangsu Province to arrange offensive and defensive matters.At the same time, it is planned to contact Sun Chuanfang, Fang Benren, and Xiao Yaonan to jointly resist the Northern Army.The situation in Jiangsu is suddenly tense, and the mountain rain is about to come.

The people of Jiangsu were driving with all their heart and soul, electrifying all over the place, representing the northward movement, working together as one, and they were unwilling to give up until the goal was achieved.After Qi exempted Han Jian, Lu Yongxiang pacified Jiangsu and Anhui, and added that Feng's army went south with 50,000 to 60,000 days and nights, only then did he feel that violence is replaced by violence, driving wolves and attracting tigers.Therefore, the movement to expel Qi changed to reject Lu and oppose Feng. Some of them declared that they only refused to serve the army and invited Lu Jian to go south. There were also hardliners who asked Qi to go as soon as possible. relation.

On December 24, 2013, Qi Xieyuan left Nanjing for Shanghai.On the same day, Chen Leshan claimed that under the secret order of the Executive Government's Office of the Secretary, he went to Songjiang to resume his post as division commander of the Fourth Division. Xia Zhaolin, the former division commander, was expelled to Hangzhou.Chen's actions did not contact all parties in advance, which aroused Sun Chuanfang's doubts and believed that it would be detrimental to Zhejiang.Nai sent a telegram to reprimand Chen for falsely stealing the name, deliberately causing trouble, and sending troops to attack. On the 29th, the Beijing executive government ordered Sun Chuanfang and Chen Leshan to suspend their duties pending the resolution of the central government, and accepted Sun's request to appoint Meng Zhaoyue as the guardian of Ningtai.

Fengjun added a reserve team to enter the pass, and its 30,000 southward troops were stationed in Xuzhou under the command of Zhang Zongchang. The original troops stationed in Xuzhou were protected by Chen Tiaoyuan's order and retreated to Dang and Xiao counties. On December 30, Diangong Bangduo of the Ministry of the Army in Beijing returned to serve as the commander of the Sixth Division, and He Fenglin was appointed as the commander of the 19th Division left behind.Part of the Nanjing Sixth Division mutinied and looted near the station. On January 2, 2014, Sun Chuanfang's troops invaded Songjiang, Chen Leshan fled, the 4th Division was defeated in Shanghai, and Sun Bu chased after him.Sun Chuanfang's right to speak increased greatly due to Sun Jun's frequent news of success. On January 5th and 6th, Sun Lian sent a strong telegram to oppose Feng's army going south.

In fact, the Feng army has moved southward in a large scale. On January 5, 14, Sun Chuanfang sent a telegram to Duan Qirui: "A lesson from Duan in Beijing, Chen Leshan pretended to steal his name and disturbed the local area. Chuanfang had no choice but to defend his troops and was lucky to be expelled. However, the Songjiang area has suffered from relocation, burning and looting. Chen's chaos has not stopped, and the lanes have been passed on again. When the army went south, it was not intended to deal exclusively with the Soviet Union. It was proved by the fact that the governor of Qi left Ning, and when the army went to Ning, there was nothing to target, and there must be more. Chuan Fang didn't worry about anything, and he often thought about his faults. Attacking Zhejiang is the bounden duty of the soldiers. , the matter is purely passive, and neither dares to commit the crime of defending the leader. Entering Zhejiang is welcomed by the army and the people of Zhejiang. , the people of Zhejiang couldn't bear to weave at first, and they couldn't think of anything else. They dared to beg Jun Zuo not to have any secrets about Chuanfang, so that all the people in Zhejiang fell into terror every day. If they are guilty, they should be dismissed. Make it clear that you are guilty of crimes, so that you can spread all over the court. If you are innocent, you should avoid the virtuous, and you should also express your virtuousness to rule the world. What must be done and then can be called the condition of sincerity. Chuanfang wants to be a high-ranking Zhejiang scholar and a quality countryman. It is also a test of tyranny and tyranny, which is straight to the government, destroying the discipline, but it should be regarded as wearing a scorpion, and the robbers are robbed. Go up to the constitution of the country, go down to harm the crowd, survive with one breath, and do not hesitate to die. The time is long and the high position is difficult. It is said that the heaven and man in Junzuo complied, and there is still a painful article about the guilt and misfortune. It is said that Fang Fang is prepared for adversity. Don't burn the charcoal with the same kind, as for the life and death of the whole body, and wait for a feather, there is no way to advance or retreat. I am urgent when I am on the electricity, and I pray for a clear indication, and Sun Chuanfang knocks. Song. Seal." Sun Chuanfang to Feng, Hu and Sun Dian: "Brother Huanzhang, Commander-in-Chief Feng of Beijing, Brother Lisheng Hu Lisheng, Governor of Kaifeng, and Brother Yuxing, Governor Sun of Baoding Jun Jian: You have suffered great sacrifices, and those who serve one to promote the other are violating the purpose of the armistice. Bringing peace to the country. Today, those who are imprisoned, defeated, or dismissed according to orders, there is no one left. However, the war can be stopped and peace can be achieved. You also heard that Chen Leshan instigated rumors that Fang's army resumed the war Since then, the Songjiang area has been burned and looted again, and it is also heard that Fengtian's army of 50,000 to 60,000 is marching southward, and passers-by are rumored to avenge Jinggong or not to Suhu? It is said that Fang's personal advances and retreats are not regrettable, and Zhejiang Province is in chaos. It's not enough to count, but I regret that you have suffered great sacrifices. Those who seek a truce will start a war in all directions. Those who seek peace will start destruction. Although the wars of the past were ominous, they still rely on the name of the country. Fighting for political opinions, today's battle is blatantly branding the name of seeking revenge and retaliation, setting up the banner of fighting for cities and land, without any scruples. How could you not have foreseen this situation when you created this situation? If you have never heard of it, then Inquiring about the truth, examining the facts, and the original intentions of the gentlemen, if this is the case, please shut your mouth and eyes, and listen to the fact that the world is killing each other, and that the people of Sri Lanka have nothing left behind. If it is not the intention of the gentlemen, please pass on Fang dared to bow his head again to ask the princes, first to appeal to the door of the powerful for the people of Zhejiang, like the blessing of heaven, and to listen to heaven, first stop the soldiers going south, and leave everything to the aftermath meeting, the National Assembly. Can it be so? Those who wish all the princes are not alone in Zhejiang. Those who have power must seek revenge and revenge, and must fight for the city and land. I also ask the princes to kowtow on behalf of those who should be restored. How many places should be contended for? Those who can guarantee that this enemy will avoid each other, and those who donate a few cities and lands can cease the war and make peace. Chuanfang doesn't seek to avoid guilt, but also sacrifices the city to solve the difficulties of the princes, and he also advises others who should be Those who avoid and offer don't ask about the violations, but they should avoid and offer quickly, so that the people of the world will not give you the name of disobedience, so as to provoke the war of the world, open the end of destruction, and arrest you. Also. Don’t post the ruling telegram, here is the appendix. The ruling loves peace, but the ruler has no power, and there is no way to implement his love. The cause of the future will be created by the princes. People who say that they have power can clamp the mouth of the world. , and cannot accept the words of the princes. Fortunately, the princes should not escape from the situation and make all the good causes come to evil results. When the battle should stop, wait for orders to advance and stop, the book is urgent, and hope for a reply, brother Sun Chuanfang. Song." On January 7, Duan Qirui sent a telegram to Sun Chuanfang: "Ge Dian reported that Chen Leshan was not a fake and stolen name. After returning, he was already on the list of success. When Zijia (Lu Yongxiang) took Fengjun to go south at his own discretion, the matter was sincere. It was because of Qi's responsibility. Zijia had to defend himself because of the destruction of the road by the Huaqi camp, and I could not blame Zijia to go to Suye alone. Although Qi is in Shanghai now, there is still a conspiracy, and Zhejiang and Shanghai are adjacent. In the matter of Zhejiang, my brother has nothing to be ashamed of, so what is the so-called blame? In the past, he attacked Zhejiang because of his obedience, and today he should obey so as not to disturb the Soviet Union. Environment. The central government has no intention of blaming, why should my brother have the words of blaming, even if it is humble, it will be safe for the people and protect the environment, which is enough to make up for the mistakes. Repost every year, honesty first, if you want to be grand and far, you must honor Mingde. Duan Qirui. Yu." On January 7, 2014, Lu Yongxiang arrived in Bengbu, and Zhang Zongchang led the Fengjun First Army to station in Pukou.The 10th Division of Lu Yongxiang's former division also marched from Jiangbei to Nanjing.The 2nd and 6th divisions and the supplementary brigade of Qi Xieyuan's former division originally stationed in Nanjing were stationed in Zhenjiang and Jiangyin under the order of Han Jun. On January 10, Lu Yongxiang and Zhang Zongchang entered Nanjing. The Shanghai Incident on the 11th.Shanghai was divided into southern city and northern city by Gong Bangduo and Zhang Yunming.Gong Bangduo is the main force. He is the Songhu Army Guard, the commander of the 6th Division and the 19th Division recognized by Beijing.After Qi Xieyuan arrived in Shanghai, the troops of the sports palace forced the palace to resign.Gong was unable to command, so he called Duan Qirui and Lu Yongxiang on the evening of the 10th to announce his resignation.After Qi Xieyuan took control of the Sixth and Nineteenth Divisions, he contacted Sun Chuanfang's army to jointly attack Zhang Yunming. Zhang's army was defeated and Zhang Yunming fled into the concession.So Qi Xieyuan called himself the commander-in-chief of the first route of the Songhu coalition army, and Sun Chuanfang called himself the commander-in-chief of the second route. The joint title declared to occupy Shanghai and refused to send the army southward. After the Shanghai Incident, Duan Qirui ordered Lu Yongxiang and Soviet Army Commander-in-Chief Qin Wei to quickly resolve the Shanghai Incident on January 12.At the same time, Wang Yitang, the supervisor of Anhui's military affairs aftermath, was sent by telegram to assist Lu Yongxiang nearby, and He Fenglin was ordered to incorporate the collapsed Fourth Division of Chen Leshan's former division. Sun Chuanfang also appointed Xie Hongxun as the commander of the Fourth Division to incorporate Chen Leshan's defeated army. Taking advantage of the expulsion of Gong Bangduo and Zhang Yunming, the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce announced that Shanghai would be an undefended city with no military posts, no troops, and the relocation of the arsenal to other places. The board members and staff of Southeast University opposed the Beijing Ministry of Education's dismissal of principal Guo Bingwen, advocating the independence of education and not following the tide of politics. On January 13, 2014, the Beijing executive government ordered to reward Sun Chuanfang for withdrawing his troops back to Zhejiang. This shows that Duan Qirui handles Qi and Sun separately and isolates Qi Xieyuan. On the same day, Chen Tiaoyuan was sent to assist in the aftermath of Jiangsu's military affairs. Bai Baoshan was the envoy of the Haizhou Army Guard, and Ma Yuren was the envoy of the Huaiyang Army Guard. The first division and one brigade of Zhang Yunming's division in Shanghai, and the remnants of Chen Leshan's fourth division joined the Qi and Sun armies.The rest, more than 10,000 people, surrendered their arms to the concession and were taken in by the concession authorities. In view of the fact that the war may spread to Shanghai, the consular corps in Shanghai decided at a meeting to prohibit the disaffected Chinese soldiers from operating in the concession, and to deploy marines from various countries to land and monitor the Chinese defeated soldiers contained therein. Lu Yongxiang organized the Xuanfu Army in Nanjing, with Fengjun Zhang Zongchang as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu Army and the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army, Zang Zhiping, the chief of staff, and the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army, and Chen Tiaoyuan, the assistant military affairs officer, as the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army Commander-in-Chief, Leng Wei, Commander-in-Chief of Water and Land Security of Jiangsu Province, is the Commander-in-Chief of Martial Law. The commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army Qin Wei was attacked by the local garrison in Suzhou, and the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce paid a sum of money to ask Qin Wei to leave Suzhou.Qi Xieyuan's army from Shanghai passed through Suzhou and united with the former Qi clan in Zhenjiang, Changzhou. On January 14, Sun Chuanfang and Qi Xieyuan of the Songhu Allied Forces jointly issued a telegram: willing to withdraw all the garrisons in the two provinces in the Shanghai area, abolish the titles of military guards and guards, and oppose the establishment of such military positions in the future, and the arsenal will also be relocated on the same day.The Beijing Executive Government also issued three orders to deal with the Zhejiang and Shanghai issues: (1) The Songhu Guards were abolished as soon as they were missing. (2) The Ministry of the Army ordered the Shanghai Armory to stop military work immediately in order to attract merchants to undertake the reorganization of commercial factories, and first entrusted the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce to temporarily take over and keep them properly. (3) Shanghai will never be stationed or set up any kind of military organization in the future. On January 16, Beijing Executive Government Decree: "This time there was a conflict between the Jiangsu and Zhejiang armies, and I heard that Qi Xieyuan was instigating it. ... We should send another person to investigate and deal with it. Afterwards, the military commanders of the provinces should strictly control their troops and strictly abide by the borders. They should not believe in rumors or cause quarrels. Duan. If there is another matter in the preceding paragraph, we must ask each of the officers." Also ordered: "Temporarily supervise the aftermath of the military affairs in Jiangsu, Han Jun, who will be removed from the part-time job. Lu Yongxiang, the special envoy of Jiangsu and Anhui, also supervises the aftermath of the military affairs in Jiangsu. Fang Benren, the special appointment, supervises the aftermath of the military affairs in Jiangxi. Wang Ruqin, the commander-in-chief of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, also serves as the deputy in charge of the aftermath of the military affairs in Hubei." Matters. Shandong and Fujian supervisors will be abolished if there are no staff. Zheng Shiqi is specially appointed to supervise the aftermath of Shandong's military affairs. Lu Yongxiang had his own set of ideas in Nanjing. In fact, it was still an old tune for him. When he was the governor of Zhejiang three years ago, because of the influence of the first Zhifeng War, he once sent a telegram to propose the abolition of the governor. During the call, he was generous. The statement was highly praised by the public for a while, but it is a pity that the Lu family could only change the name of "supervisor" to "supervisor of military affairs afterward".Public opinion was quite disappointed with him. On February 27, 2014, Lu Yongxiang called Duan Qirui to appeal for the abolition of the governor.There are quite a few epigrams in his telegram: "...The idea of ​​abolishing the governor has been around for a long time! The superiors are afraid and dare not do anything, but the inferiors are persevering. If you don't abolish it, you can't stop the people. Before the abolition of the governor, the most important thing is to order the army. The system is called the division of military regions. However, this is not a matter of one province. One province will create it, and the central government will encourage its enthusiasm, and push it to neighboring provinces. Push it to the whole country. Then everything will be done. . . . The area around Xuzhou is the national army area, and the national army is no longer stationed in the south of the great river. All the national troops stationed in the Soviet Union will be transferred to the national army area, and they will follow the command of the central government. The salary will be paid by the Ministry, and will not be involved in the provincial government. Jiangsu province has its own divisions and brigades, and the Soviet Union's discretion The financial resources will be reorganized separately and controlled by the governor. At the same time, Zhejiang province will transfer the national army to the area specified for national defense, and shall not remain stationed in the border areas adjacent to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and will listen to the central leadership after the general affairs are improved." At the time when the Zhejiang people asked to withdraw their troops, these words were pleasing and necessary.At the same time, he asked the Beijing government to quickly issue a decree to permanently abolish the post of Jiangsu and Zhejiang military affairs supervisor, advocating for the provinces. The "motivation" of Lu Yongxiang's telegram is from the good side, he has truly awakened; from the evil side, he wants to play the old trick of three years ago.As for the impact, in the aftermath meeting, someone asked the government how to deal with it, and the government responded with four words: a comprehensive plan, which seems to have not yet agreed with Mr. Lu's plan to abolish the governor.Wang Yitang, the governor of Anhui Province, was in Beijing, expressing his approval of Lu's method, and was willing to abolish the Anhui military affairs aftermath supervisor.Lu Geng was very flattered, and various groups in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also sent telegrams to agree with them in the heart of "being kind to others".Although someone in Nanjing forged a telegram from the Provincial Council, saying that it was not the right time to abolish the governor, and asked the government to urge Lu Shi to quickly take over the post of Jiangsu Military Affairs Supervisor, but the provincial council immediately denied it.After the coup, Feng Yuxiang petitioned for resignation and went abroad by telegram, which won praise from the public opinion circles at that time.Now public opinion is also highly admiring Lu Yongxiang's request to abolish the governor.However, powerful people did not agree enthusiastically. After the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Peace Treaty was signed, the military positions of the military guards in Shanghai were completely abolished, and the arsenal that was necessary in the military was completely handed over to the General Chamber of Commerce. No, the campaign to avoid military disasters that the Shanghai people have worked hard for half a year has been successful so far only in terms of military relations. The construction of the commercial port. The reorganization of Shanghai's civil affairs, the Shanghainese who were engaged in the movement to avoid military disasters, did not seem to have considered it. The three orders issued by the executive government on January 15 only mentioned that Shanghai is a major trading port, and thereafter no troops will be stationed forever. Teams and the establishment of any military agencies, but did not mention how to deal with civil affairs.On the contrary, it was Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang who were able to say in the joint telegram that "...its civil affairs are different from those of ordinary counties, and it is planned to form another government office to manage them."In the rough timing of the war, the governor of Jiangsu, Han Guojun, first announced the establishment of a special city in Shanghai on January 29, and hired 11 people including Dong Lipingshu, the old city of Shanghai, as the preparatory committee. How to divide the areas?How is the agency organized?How authority is distributed.However, several businessmen in Shanghai put forward their opinions to the General Chamber of Commerce, opposing the fact that the municipal administration of Shanghai should be presided over by a small number of Su gentry.It is stated that the executive government intends to change Shanghai into a special area, never to garrison troops, and to set up a supervisory office to handle civil affairs, while advocating that the Zhili central government be supervised, and local affairs should be handled jointly by local gentry and businessmen.At the same time, public opinion in Shanghai unanimously advocated that Shanghai should be transformed into a special city, that the city hall should be dominated by citizens, and that the mayor should be elected by citizens.In the month after the war, the construction of Shanghai aroused intense controversy. The central government and the provincial government of Suzhou, businessmen and citizens all expressed different attitudes and opinions. In fact, the executive government has not said anything about Jiangsu Governor's appointment of committee members to prepare for the special city, and it can be said that it does not recognize its effectiveness at all. On February 6, the Beijing government ordered Sun Baoqi to be the supervisor of the Songhu Commercial Port, and Yu Hede to be the organizer.However, the designation of Shanghai as a commercial port runs counter to the hope of the Shanghai people to establish an autonomous city, so public opinion opposed it quite violently.As for the preparatory committee hired by the Jiangsu provincial government, it actively made preparations, drafting the regulations for the preparatory meeting of the Songhu Special City, roughly designating more than 40 cities and townships belonging to five counties including Shanghai, Baoshan, Chuansha, Nanhui, and Taicang as special areas. We also contacted the municipal associations organized by the county governments to convene a temporary city council of the special city on March 5 to discuss all important issues; on the one hand, we strived for the fundamental legislation of the special city, which must be drafted by the preparatory office and implemented with the consent of the city and township .Regarding the preparatory meeting for the special city, the governor of Jiangsu sent telegrams to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Beijing, but no reply has been received yet. After the Second World War in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Shanghai issue was the most noisy.The campaigns to abolish envoys, withdraw troops, and relocate factories were all successful, which made all the places that were affected by the military disaster envious.Places such as Songjiang, which are adjacent to the Shanghai area, have requested to join the Shanghai area, and places such as Suzhou, which are a little farther away, are trying to imitate Shanghai to organize special cities.As a result, large-scale military avoidance movements were formed in various places in the south of the Yangtze River that were affected by the military disaster, and the so-called Taihu Lake Basin United Self-Government Movement took place. The joint self-government movement in the Taihu Lake Basin was conceived in mid-February 2014 and launched in early March. Its purpose is to organize a special area, implement self-government, and avoid military disasters forever.His method is imitating Shanghai's method, uniting Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Taicang, Songjiang (the above belongs to Jiangsu Province), Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou (the above belongs to Zhejiang Province) in the Taihu Lake Basin On the one hand, he asked the government to withdraw the troops in the area, and on the other hand, organized militia groups for self-defense.Initially initiated by people from Changzhou, Wuxi, and Huzhou who suffered the most in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War.Later, with the approval of the gentry and merchants in Hangzhou and other places, a preparatory meeting for the joint self-government of the Taihu Lake Basin was organized in Shanghai, and a power call begged Lu Yongxiang and Zhang Zongchang to order the troops to withdraw from the Taihu Lake Basin, and sent representatives to Nanjing, Hangzhou, and Beijing to appeal to various authorities. The people in the Taihu Lake Basin carried out the military avoidance campaign because they had suffered from military disasters during the two Jiangsu-Zhejiang Wars. The first step they started was to call for the withdrawal of the troops in the area so as not to hinder spring plowing and agricultural work.On the whole, the Taihu Basin United Self-Government Movement is worthy of sympathy.However, when the army is fighting for land and cities, this kind of movement will not achieve any results.
