In 1927, the Central Plains was still in chaos. After you sing, I will appear. After the battle in Fujian, the number of troops attacking Jiangsu and Zhejiang suddenly increased.

Since August 1926, the Southern Route Army of the Northern Expedition led by Tang Shengzhi entered Zhejiang from Fujian and successively captured Lishui, Jinhua, and Hangzhou, and then invaded Shanghai at the end of August. In order to resist Sun Chuanfang's counterattack, they entered Suzhou in September and

Open up the front and prepare for battle.

At the same time, the Northern Route Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the south, under the wise leadership of Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek, took advantage of Sun Chuanfang's opportunity to mobilize troops to attack Shanghai and was weak, and suddenly marched northward at Xiaosu, taking advantage of the enemy's empty battle to attack Anqing.

On September 18th, they entered Qingyang, the land of Tongling. The Northern Expeditionary Army marched eastward along the south bank of the Yangtze River and successively captured Wuhu. After Dangtu, they began a general attack on Nanjing on December 20th. After two days of fierce fighting, Jiangning Town was cleared.

, Molingguan, Longdu and other peripheral strongholds. On the 23rd, the Northern Expeditionary Army advanced towards Zhongshan Gate and Guanghua Gate; the Independent Second Division attacked Tongji Gate and Wuding Gate; the Sixth Army arrived at Yuhuatai, and the 19th Division of the Army was led by

Zhonghuamen rushed into the city. That night, various branches of Jiang Youjun entered the city and occupied Nanjing.

In 1927, the Guangzhou Democratic Party moved to Shanghai, and the Central Political Conference decided to move the Central Party Headquarters to Shanghai. On February 26, 1927, the Shanghai Central Political Conference decided to request the Third International to withdraw Borodin. 10

On the same day, the Democratic Party held a plenary meeting of the Central Executive Committee in Shanghai. After the meeting, Wang Jingwei, Tan Yankai, Sun Ke, Song Ziwen, and Xu Qian were appointed as standing committee members of the People's Government.

On April 1, 1927, Wang Jingwei returned to Nanzhijing from Europe via Moscow and met with Chiang Kai-shek. Wang promised to prevent Shanghai from rebelling against Chiang, while Chiang supported Wang in presiding over party affairs. On the second day, Wu Jingheng, a member of the Democratic Party Supervisory Committee,

, Li Zongren, Huang Shaohong, Chen Guofu and others held an emergency meeting to decide to purge the party.

On April 17, 1927, the Central Executive Committee members of the Democratic Party in Nanzhijing, Hu Hanmin, Jiang Jieshi, Bai Wenwei, etc. and some supervisory committee members announced the formation of a National Government in Nanzhijing, with Hu Hanmin as the leader.

Chairman. At this point, Ninghu has officially split.

After the "April 12 Coup" and the Ning-Shanghai split, Wang Jingwei, Tang Shengzhi and other forces of the National Government in Shanghai competed with Jiang Jieshi and the New Guangxi clique of the National Government of Nanzhi in the political, military and other aspects in order to

Fight for "orthodox" status.

After the "April 12 Coup", the power of the New Guangxi clique expanded. Jiang Jiashi planned to contact He Yingqin to disband the Seventh Army of the National Revolutionary Army under the New Guangxi clique and attack the New Guangxi clique. However, He Yingqin did not cooperate, and Jiang Jiashi attacked the New Guangxi clique.

The Guangxi clique's plan failed. Both Ningbo and Shanghai were trying their best to win over Feng Yuxiang, the former leader of the Northwest Army, who had announced his surrender to the Northern Expeditionary Army. Feng Yuxiang had more than 50,000 troops, mediating the differences between Ninghan and Han, and instigating Ningbo and Shanghai to continue

Northern Expedition. In May 1927, the Nationalist Government in Nanjing continued the Northern Expedition. The Seventh Army of the New Guangxi Clan went north to invade Shandong and expelled Zhang Zongchang, Sun Chuanfang and other warlords. At the same time, the Nationalist Government in Shanghai also sent troops to the Northern Expedition and invaded Shandong.

within the territory.

In July 1927, Shanghai sent troops such as Tang Shengzhi, Cheng Qian, and Zhang Fakui to march eastward to attack Ningfang. The New Guangxi clique quickly used the fight with Shanghai as an excuse to mobilize troops back to the vicinity of Nanzhijing and contact the garrison.

Zhou Fengqi's 26th Army of the National Revolutionary Army in Zhejiang formed a siege on Nanzhijing. Subsequently, Li Zongren and Cheng Qian's troops reached an agreement not to attack each other, thereby putting pressure on Jiang Jieshi. On July 15, Wang Jingwei

After the party purge was implemented in Shanghai, the fundamental political differences between Nanjing and Shanghai disappeared, laying the foundation for the merger of Nanjing and Shanghai, but the Shanghai side still insisted on Chiang Jiashi stepping down.

In August of the same year, Feng faction warlord Zhang Zuolin supported Zhang Zongchang, and Sun Chuanfang went south to attack Nanzhijing. On August 6, the Battle of Xuzhou, personally commanded by Jiang Jiashi, failed. Wang Tianpei's unit of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army suffered heavy losses, and Su

Xuzhou, a transportation hub in the north and an important military town. Ningfang was surrounded by enemies from both sides and the situation was critical. Chiang Kai-shek originally planned to use the victory in the Xuzhou battle to put pressure on the Han side, but this plan failed. This battle resulted in Wang Tianpei being shot due to his defeat.

On August 8, 1927, Li Zongren, the leader of the New Guangxi Clique, sent a telegram to Shanghai, demanding "the entire aftermath" and asking Chiang Jiashi to step down. Jiang Jiashi returned to Nanzhijing from Xuzhou and ordered Bai Chongxi, the second-largest figure in the New Guangxi Clique, to

, deployed troops to fight against Guangzhou. However, Bai Chongxi openly disobeyed, and Jiang Jiashi had no choice but to electrify and leave the field.

Because Jiang Jieshi took the initiative to step down, the Shanghai side temporarily lost the goal of "crusade". The New Guangxi clique and He Yingqin then deployed troops to fight against the northern warlords first.

At the end of August, after repeated battles between Sun's army and Ningfang's army, the New Gui Clan and He Yingqin's First Army launched a full-scale counterattack in Longtan, defeating the main force of more than 60,000 Sun Chuanfang who invaded the south. Sun Chuanfang only led a dozen guards to cross the Yangtze River north.

After retreating, the situation in Nanzhijing was stabilized. After that, Sun Chuanfang gradually faded out of the political arena.

On September 11, 1927, under the leadership of the New Guangxi clique, Ningxia and Shanghai and many elders of the Democratic Party met in Shanghai to discuss the alliance between the two parties. The New Guangxi clique, together with the "Xishan Conference Faction" within the Democratic Party,

Wang Jingwei, who rejected the Shanghai side, established a "Special Committee of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party" dominated by the New Guangxi clique. After that, "Ninghu merged" and Wang Jingwei was forced to step down. Although Wang Jingwei stepped down, he still contacted Tang Shengzhi, Cheng Qian and other forces.

, against the New Guangxi clique, the Shanghai army was almost completely controlled by Tang Shengzhi. In addition, Jiang Jieshi and Wang Jingwei stepped down one after another. The contradiction between Ning and Shanghai has been transformed into the political differences between Jiang Jieshi on the Ning side and Wang Jingwei on the Shanghai side.

This evolved into a political disagreement between the Xingui clique, which controlled the real power in Ningfang, and Tang Shengzhi, who controlled the real power in Shanghai.

On October 18 of the same year, the Sixth Army of Cheng Qian's Min Ge Ming Army, which surrendered to Nanzhijing, first launched an attack on Liu Xing's Department of the Thirty Sixth Army, and the Ninghu War officially broke out. Since Zhu Peide's troops of the Kuomintang Ming Army had already surrendered to Ning,

Tang Shengzhi took the initiative to retreat in order to prevent being intercepted by the Ningfang army. Li Zongren personally arrived at the front line to command the operation and announced Tang Shengzhi's "ten crimes". Tang Shengzhi took the initiative to electrify and go to the field to wait and see the situation, but at the same time still controlled his troops to continue to fight against the Nanzhi.

On the Beijing side, Jiang Jieshi, who was out of power at this time, joined forces with Tang Shengzhi to attack the increasingly powerful Xingui clique.

Because of the power struggle between Nanzhijing and Shanghai, various factions within the Democratic Party continued to fight, one after another. How could the Democratic Party in 1927 be so messed up? The Democratic Party was originally a political group with inherent deficiencies.

The factions are like Lin, but their ability is not very good but their thirst for power reaches the extreme. In later generations, due to the blockade between the two sides, Haoren did not understand it. However, after some articles and comments, he still came to some conclusions. For example, Li Ao described the Kuomintang government
