First Congress

Mr. Sun Yat sen personally presided over the formulation of《 Provisional Regulations of the Republic of China 》And the first Congress (commonly known as the old Congress) convened accordingly has always been recognized as the symbol of the bourgeois republic. After Sun Yat sen was forced to relinquish his power, he has been fighting unremittingly to safeguard the covenant law and the Congress. In May 1917, when State Premier Duan Qirui used the governor's corps to oppress the Congress to accept the declaration of war against Germany, Sun Yat sen and Zhang Taiyan Cen Chunxuan Tang Shaoyi Jointly call Duan Qirui and The Senate and the House of Representatives They are required to abide by the law and respect the Congress.

On the 4th, Sun Yat sen called the members of the House and Senate to protect the law. Patrolling envoys of Guangdong and Guangxi who controlled Guangdong at that time Lu Rongting In order to ensure the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Guangxi warlords led by Duan Qirui opposed Duan Qirui's policy of unifying forces and expanded their power to Hunan, and welcomed Sun Yat sen to protect the law in Guangdong. On July 6, 1917, Sun Yat sen, Zhang Taiyan Zhu Zhixin Liao Zhongkai Chen Jiongming The equivalent rate of Haichen and Yingrui ships left Shanghai to the south and arrived on the 17th Humen , arrived in Guangzhou on the 19th. At the welcome meeting of all walks of life in Guangdong, Sun Yat sen made a speech, pointing out that today's turmoil, "the struggle between real and fake republics", and that "the disaster of fake republics is more serious than the real restoration". Only by overthrowing the fake republics can we "achieve the construction of a real republic". The first person who responded to the call of Sun Yat sen's Dharma Protector was Chief of the Navy Cheng Biguang. On July 4, 1917, he issued a proclamation against thieves and denounced Zhang Xun's restoration. After Sun Yat sen went south to protect the Dharma, Cheng Ji met with the commander of the First Fleet on the 21st Lin Baoyi Jointly connected with the power, proposed three propositions of upholding the law, restoring the parliament and punishing the culprits, led the First Fleet with ten warships, and arrived on August 5, 1917 Huangpu , accompanied by Tang Shaoyi intimate of Sun Yat-sen Etc.

By the middle of August, more than 150 members of Congress had arrived in Guangzhou.

Calling Congress

Grand Marshal's Mansion
On August 18, 1917, Sun Yat sen Huangpu Park Banquet members of Congress to discuss the issue of convening Congress. Considering that the number of members coming to Guangdong is less than a quorum, we decided to follow suit French Revolution eve Level 3 It is a precedent for deputies to hold the National Assembly and hold an "extraordinary session of Congress" (commonly known as“ Extraordinary parliament ”)。 On the 25th, the Extraordinary Congress opened, and on the 31st, it passed Article 13 of the Outline of the Military Government of the Republic of China, which stipulates that the Republic of China has organized the military government of the Republic of China to suppress the rebellion and restore the Provisional Constitution. Military government Grand Marshal One person and three marshals are elected by the extraordinary session of the National Assembly. Before the effectiveness of the Provisional Regulations was fully restored, the executive power of the Republic of China was exercised by the Grand Marshal, who represented the Republic of China to the outside world and assisted the Grand Marshal in organizing government affairs. The military government has six ministries of foreign affairs, internal affairs, finance, army, navy and transportation. In order to meet the needs of the war of law protection and counter insurgency, the military government did not adopt the cabinet system stipulated in the Provisional Constitution, but adopted Chinese Revolutionary Party The grand marshal system scheme of the integration of the party, the government and the military power proposed in the Revolutionary Strategy, which implements the head of state system of the integration of military, internal affairs and diplomacy, reflects the desire of the Chinese revolutionary party led by Sun Yat sen to establish its own independent governance through the law protection movement bourgeois revolution The intention of the regime.
On August 25, 1917, Sun Yat sen convened some members of the former Congress to hold a meeting in Guangzhou, and proposed to "protect the law", that is, to safeguard the provisional law of the Republic of China [3] Due to insufficient attendance, it is called "extraordinary congress" [3] The meeting decided to establish a military government in Guangzhou, with Sun as the grand marshal of the military government, Tang Jiyao and Lu Rongting as marshals [3] Sun, in the name of Grand Marshal, called on the Northern Expedition to deny the Beijing government with Feng Guozhang as its president and Duan Qirui as its prime minister [3]

Be sworn in

On September 1, the Extraordinary Congress elected Sun Yat sen as Grand Marshal of the Navy and Army, and Lu Rongting and Tang Jiyao as Grand Marshals. On the 10th, Sun Yat sen was sworn in. On the same day, the Extraordinary Congress approved the list of military government ministers Qing government's representative in the U.S. , Finance: Tang Shaoyi, Army: Zhang Kairu , Navy: Cheng Biguang, Internal Affairs: Sun Hongyi , Transportation: Hu Hanminrevolutionary leader and close associate of Sun Yat-sen , Chief of Staff of the military government: Li Liejun , Secretary General of the Grand Admiral's Office: Zhang Taiyan.

Hegemonic ambition

The personnel arrangement of the military government reflects the initiative of the Chinese revolutionary party members to cooperate with the southwest strength groups and the Kuomintang's steady faction The law protecting military government The desire of. However, Lu Rongting and Tang Jiyao pursued the establishment of National protection movement During the period, the collegiate government like the Military Affairs Academy ranked according to the strength of all parties to achieve their ambition of dominating the southwest. However, the military government adopted the head of state system and established Sun Yat sen's leading position in the law protection regime. Instead, they became supporting actors. Therefore, Lu Rongting and Tang Jiyao were very dissatisfied with the organizational principles of the military government and the election results, and refused to take the post of Marshal. Wu Tingfang, Tang Shaoyi, Cheng Biguang, Li Liejun and other Kuomintang moderates also approved of the collegiate system in order to seek cooperation with the powerful groups in the southwest, so these four people also refused to take office. So Sun Yat sen appointed a group of backbones of the Chinese Revolutionary Party the United League of China or Chinese Kuomintang Activists of the agency work. In this way, the military government actually became the bourgeois government that the Chinese Revolutionary Party tried to lead the law protection movement, thus deciding that it would be opposed by the southwest warlords and would not be able to stay there for a long time existence Go down.

Sports climax

The establishment of the military government marked the arrival of the climax of the law protection movement and the formation of the confrontation between the North and the South. Duan Qirui inherits high Qing official It is the mantle of unifying China by force, and it is determined to suppress the law protectors in the southwest by force of the Northern Ocean and start the Second Civil War. Its military strategy has two priorities: one is to use troops in Hunan to control Guangdong and Guangxi, and the other is to use troops in Sichuan to control Yunnan and Guizhou. On August 6, Duan sent a trusted general Fu Liangzuo (1873-1924) instead Tan Yankai To supervise the army in Hunan; Send his brother-in-law Wu Guangxin (1875-1939) is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Commander in Chief He is also the investigating envoy of Sichuan. On September 9, 1917, when Fu Liangzuo led the Beiyang Army to Hunan, he ordered Liu Jianfan, the former member of the League, Lingling Town Guard Envoy, and the brigade commander of the Hunan Army stationed in Hengyang to be removed Lin Xiumei Position of. On the 18th, Liu and Lin jointly announced their "independence" and acted in concert with the Navy and the law protectors in the southwest. The provinces protecting the law in the southwest saw the change of the governor of Hunan as a signal for the Beiyang to march into the southwest. The Guangxi Clique decided to send 80 battalions of the Guangxi and Guangdong allied forces to assist Hunan. On October 3, 1917, Sun Yat sen officially ordered a crusade against Duan Qirui and other rebels of the Republic of China. The law protection army of Hunan Province formed a general headquarters in southern Hunan headed by Cheng Qian. The general goal of the law protection army of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan provinces was to attack Changsha. At this time, Duan Qirui also issued a crusade order to the Beiyang Army, and Fu Liangzuo appointed the commander of the Eighth Division Wang Ruxian He was the commander of southern Hunan, and Fan Guozhang, the commander of the 20th Division, was the deputy commander. On October 6, 1917, the Beiyang Army and the Xiangnan Dharmapala Corps engaged in a battle in Xinipu, Xiangtan, and the Dharmapala War officially broke out. The two armies fought fiercely in southern Hunan for more than a month. On November 14, 1917, Direct warlord Wang Ruxian and Feng Guozhang were unwilling to work hard for the Anhui clique, so they sent a telegram to negotiate peace and withdrew from the Hengshan front. On the 20th, the Dharmapalas took Changsha lightly. Duan Qirui's plan to use troops in Hunan to control Guangdong and Guangxi failed, and the Guangxi Clique took control of Hunan. At the same time, the Yunnan Clique led by Tang Jiyao, in order to fight against the northern army in Sichuan led by Wu Guangxin, also formed the joint army of Yunnan and Guizhou, cooperated with the Sichuan Nationalist Army (later changed into the Sichuan Jinguo Army) organized by the Chinese Revolutionary Party sent by Sun Yat sen to Sichuan, and fought with the northern army. On December 3, 1917, they captured Chongqing and drove away the newly appointed Sichuan governor by Duan Qirui Zhou Daogang (1875 -?) and Wu Guangxin, Sichuan Investigation Commissioner. In other provinces, the law protection armed forces led by the Chinese Revolutionary Party and the Kuomintang also emerged one after another, announcing their concerted action with the southwest provinces.

Hubei Jingguo Army

The larger "Hubei Jingguo Army", organized by the garrison envoy of Xiangyun Town, Hubei Province, and Li Tiantian, commander of the Ninth Division of Hubei Army, declared "independence" in Xiangyang; Guo Jian, former commander of the Shaanxi garrison, organized the "Shaanxi Law Guard Army" Fengxiang Declare "independence". In addition, in Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Gansu, and even Northeast China, the "Law Guard Army" and the "Yasukuni Army" have been organized successively to declare "independence" or "independence". The smoke of the law guard war has swept most provinces and regions in China. Sun Yat sen was very excited by this situation. He convened military meetings for many times and formulated the strategy of advancing the Northern Expedition of Dharma Protectors. He ordered the armies of Guangxi and Yunnan to wipe out the armies of Hunan and northern Sichuan, and set out to attack Wuhan together. The other armies of Dharma Protectors and Jingguo also joined forces with the armies of Guangxi and Yunnan, and then occupied Nanjing, launched a large-scale Northern Expedition, and attacked Beijing.

Repeated peace and war

The failure of the Beiyang Army in Hunan was the result of the split of the contradiction between the Zhili and Anhui systems, which further intensified the contradiction between the Zhili and Anhui. Feng Guozhang, the leader of the direct line and acting president, has been fighting with Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui line, for the orthodox status of the Beiyang faction and the central authority of the Beijing government. After the start of the law protection war, Feng tried to fight against the Anhui clique with the help of the southwest warlords, so he secretly advocated peace; Moreover, they were deeply dissatisfied with the deployment of the Anhui Clique to use the Zhili army to lead the battle. Therefore, General Wang Ruxian and General Feng Guozhang stopped fighting and withdrew their troops at the front without authorization, disrupting the strategic deployment of the Anhui Clique to seize Hunan. Duan Qirui was very angry about this, and angrily asked Feng Guozhang to resign. Feng Suo is known for his sexual suggestion“ Three Governors of the Yangtze River ”Wang Zhanyuan (1861-1934), the governor of Hubei Province, Chen Guangyuan, the governor of Jiangxi Province, and Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu Province, issued a joint telegram on the 18th, advocating that the North and the South should strike a truce and peacefully resolve the North South issue. On November 22, 1917, Feng removed Duan Qirui, the Premier of the State Council, as Wang Shizhen As the Premier of the State Council, Duan Qirui's cabinet collapsed again, and the Zhiwan system was split openly. On the 25th, Feng Guozhang issued a decree of armistice between the North and the South. This has caused different reactions within the Dharma Protection Camp. Sun Yat sen always insisted on protecting the law and opposed the reconciliation between the north and the south. On November 18, 1917, he issued a statement on the current situation: "There is no room for negotiation without resuming the covenant law and the old National Assembly." The general of the Hunan Army led by Cheng Qian demanded to seize Yueyang and consolidate the victory of the law protecting army in Hunan. However, after controlling Hunan and Sichuan provinces respectively, the Guangxi and Yunnan systems, which aimed to expand their strength and territory, disregarded the purpose of Sun Yat sen's law protection movement and soon compromised with the Zhili warlords. On November 24, 1917, the day before Feng Guozhang issued the armistice order, Lu Rongting expressed his support for the "Three Governors of the Yangtze River" to open the main power supply, leading to a north-south armistice. On the 28th, Tan Haoming (1871-1925), the governor of Guangxi, was instructed to respond to Feng Guozhang's armistice order in the name of the commander in chief of the Hunan Guangdong Guangxi Allied Army, and ordered the former enemy forces of the law protecting army to cease fighting. On the other hand, the warlords of the Yunnan Clique adopted a double dealing approach, and on the one hand, they made a generous statement, saying that they were determined to protect the law and perfunctory to Sun Yat sen; At the same time, they colluded with Lu Rongting and responded to each other and ordered the troops stationed in Sichuan and Yunnan to cease the war.
The policy of the Zhili clique caused strong dissatisfaction between the Anhui clique and the Beiyang clique. In Duan Qirui and his confidants Xu Shuzheng Under the instigation of, the military supervisors of 13 provinces of Jilin, Heilongjiang, Fengzhou, Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu, Xinjiang, Anhui, Zhejiang and Fujian held two consecutive meetings on December 2, 1917 and January 5, 1918 respectively Tianjin Conference He strongly requested Feng Guozhang to make a clear order to crusade against the southwest. Feng was forced to give in and appointed Zhili Governor on December 15, 1917 Cao Kun , Shandong Governor Zhang Huaizhi The commanders in chief of the First and Second Route Armies went south to attack Hunan. On the 18th, Duan Qirui was appointed as the commander in charge of the war and a cadre of the Anhui Clique Duan Zhigui As the army chief, the Anhui Department regained control of the central military command. On January 10, 1918, a local crusade order was issued in the name of the General Staff and the Ministry of War, ordering the Beiyang Army to attack Jingzhou and Xiangyang in Hubei. On January 14, Wu Guangxin led the Beiyang Army to attack and occupy Jingxiang. When the Guangxi and Hunan armies saw that the Zhili troops had succumbed to the main battle group, they also launched an attack on Yueyang. On January 27, Yueyang was captured by the Dharmapala Allied Forces, which captured more than 1300 enemies. If the allied forces take the opportunity of the Beiyang Army to concentrate their forces in Jingxiang and Wuhan, it will make a major turn in the Dharma Protection War. However, the Gui Clique, satisfied with protecting the Hunan border, held its ground and proposed that "the north should not attack Yue and the south should not attack Hubei" as the conditions for peace, thus losing the good opportunity to attack Wuhan and join forces in the Northern Expedition. After the Confederate army captured Yueyang, the Northern Warlords became more aggressive and forced Feng Guozhang to issue a crusade against the whole southwest on January 30, ordering Cao Kun, Zhang Huaizhi and Zhang Jingyao Command some roads to march. In the middle of February, about 100000 Beiyang troops from all walks of life marched into the Hunan Hubei and Hunan Jiangxi borders respectively. On March 18, the "rising star" and acting commander of the Third Division of the Beiyang Army warlord head of the Zhili military faction (1874-1939, Ziyu, Shandong Penglai People) led the Ministry to capture Yueyang. On March 23, Feng Guozhang was forced to appoint Duan Qirui as the premier of the state affairs. Duan immediately organized the Beiyang Army to attack the south in a large scale, and the law protection army lost in succession in the Hunan battlefield. On the 26th, Wu Peifu occupied Changsha. beiyang government Zhang Jingyao was immediately appointed governor and governor of Hunan, and Wu Peifu was ordered to march to the south of Hunan from the left, middle and right. On April 24, Wu Peifu led the Central Army to occupy Hengyang, and most of Hunan fell into the hands of the Beiyang Army. Cao Kun, the commander in chief of the first route to attack Hunan, and Wu Peifu, his subordinate and the commander of the third division of the General Administration, were direct line soldiers. After moving southward, they defeated Yueyang, Changsha, and Hengyang, making the greatest contribution to the war. However, Duan Qirui's government awarded the post of Hunan Governor and Governor to Zhang Jingyao, a direct member of the Anhui faction, which made Cao and Wu dissatisfied. The contradiction between the Zhili and Anhui was once again acute. Wu Peifu, adhering to Cao Kun's intention, stopped after occupying Hengyang. At the end of May, Cao Kun returned to Tianjin without authorization. On June 15, the Zhili clique signed an armistice agreement with the representatives of the Guangxi clique, ending the war and making peace. In August, Wu Peifu sent a telegram to Zhu He, openly attacking Duan Qirui's policy of reunification by force "the policy of subjugating the country". Direct line generals responded in succession. In late August, Duan Qirui was forced to order all the troops on the front line to temporarily take the defensive position.

Destroy the purpose of law protection

The warlords of Guangxi and Yunnan not only colluded with the Zhili clique in the law protection war to strike war and discuss peace, which undermined Sun Yat sen's law protection purpose, but also persuaded the members of the political society in the Congress and the Kuomintang moderates to undermine the law protection military government, repel Sun Yat sen, and attempt to resist the leadership of the law protection movement.
In January 1918, the Guangxi warlord initiated the establishment of a joint conference of law protection provinces, trying to become another political authority to compete with the military government. In February, the Kuomintang moderates came forward and formally proposed the idea of restructuring the military government, and drafted seven articles of the Amendment to the Outline of the Military Government of the Republic of China, the central intention of which was to change the single leader system of the Grand Marshal to the collegial system of several presidents to exclude Sun Yat sen.
On April 10, 1918, the Yunnan warlord Tang Jiyao took the lead in powering up the southwest provinces to support this idea, and proposed that the law protecting provinces should now wear Li Yuanhong or Feng Guozhang remotely President Cen Chunxuan was elected as the Premier of the State Council. As for Sun Yat sen, "it is better to travel around the world and handle diplomacy". On May 4, under the control of the Department of Political Science and the Benevolent Friends Society, despite the resolute opposition of Sun Yat sen and members of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, the Extraordinary Congress forcefully passed the Amendment to the Military Government Organization Bill. On the same day, Sun Yat sen submitted his resignation to the Extraordinary Congress, and announced the resignation of the Grand Marshal. In his message, he reviewed the difficult process of law protection, and angrily pointed out that "the great trouble of our country is nothing more than the struggle of military men, and the south and the north are like birds of a feather. Although it is known as the province of law protection, it is also not willing to bow to the law and public opinion..." On the 20th, the extraordinary congress elected Tang Shaoyi, Tang Jiyao, Sun Yat sen, Wu Tingfang, Lin Baoyi, Lu Rongting, and Cen Chunxuan as the chief administrative officer, Cen Chunxuan is the chairman and president. The restructured military government was completely controlled by the Guangxi and Yunnan warlords and their vassals' political academies, and the dharma protectors became empty names.

Sun Yat sen's Dharmapala Movement On June 13, 1917, Li Yuanhong issued an order to dissolve the Congress under the threat of Zhang Xun, who led troops to Beijing to "mediate". On July 1, Zhang Xun supported the restoration of the deposed Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty. On the 6th, Sun Yat sen and others left Shanghai to the south and arrived in Guangzhou on the 17th. They launched a law protection movement and joined forces with the Guangxi, Yunnan and other local power groups in the southwest to crusade against the rebellion of the Northern Ocean.
On August 25, 1917, the extraordinary session of the National Assembly was held in Guangzhou. On September 1, 1917, the extraordinary session of the National Assembly elected Sun Yat sen as Grand Marshal of the Navy and Army of the Republic of China, and Lu Rongting and Tang Jiyao as Grand Marshals. Sun officially took office in October, and immediately formed Military Government of the Republic of China On the 18th, Liu Jianfan, the Lingling garrison envoy in Hunan, and other officials announced the independence of southern Hunan by telegram, and the law protection war broke out. Lu Rongting commanded the Guangdong and Guangxi armies to assist Hunan, and Tang Jiyao led the Yunnan and Guizhou armies to assist Sichuan, and fought with the Beiyang troops going south respectively. Sun and other forces of the old Kuomintang also mobilized party members from all provinces to organize law protection armed forces and revolt against rebels. The scope of the law protection war covers nine provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Gansu and other provinces Northeast China There are also various law enforcement forces and activities. Although Guangxi, Yunnan and other powerful groups in the southwest marked "law protection" to resist the southern invasion of the northern army, they intended to separate themselves, so they tried to limit, exclude and crack down on the revolutionary activities of the military government.
On the evening of January 3, 1918, Sun indignantly boarded“ Tong'an ”The "Yuzhang" two ships shelled the Guangdong Provincial Governor's Office and admonished the Guangxi Clique. The Kuomintang moderates, in order to win the joint protection of the southwest power group, proposed that the general government should change from the head of the Grand Marshal system to the collegial system of the chief administrative officer. In May 1918, the third reading of the extraordinary session of the National Assembly passed the amendment to the military government's organizational outline, which decided that the military government should change to the collegial system of presidents, elect Tang Shaoyi, Tang Jiyao, Lu Rongting, Wu Tingfang, Sun Yat sen, Lin Baoyi, and Cen Chunxuan as the military government's chief administrative officers, and force Sun Ci to take the post of Grand Marshal and leave Guangdong to Shanghai. Since then, Cen served as the president of the government affairs conference, and the leadership of the military government fell into the hands of the southwest power group headed by the Guangxi Clique. From late February to early May 1919, representatives of the military government and the Beijing government held a North South peace conference in Shanghai, which broke down due to repeated stalemate. In November, the Zhili clique signed the "draft agreement of the national salvation alliance" with Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Sichuan and other powerful groups in the southwest, and reached an agreement on joint confrontation with the Anhui clique. Sun Yat sen and other Kuomintang members also decided to unite Anhui and seek Guangxi. In February 1920, the Laurel Clique and the Dian Clique openly clashed over the command of the Yunnan Army stationed in Guangdong. At the end of March and the beginning of April, Wu Tingfang and most members of Congress left Guangdong because they were dissatisfied with the autocracy of the Guangxi Clique. On June 3, four presidents, Sun Yat sen, Tang Shaoyi, Wu Tingfang, and Tang Jiyao, jointly sent a telegram to expose the practices of the Gui Family's fake law protectors, and denied the Guangzhou military government and the extraordinary session of the National Congress held by them. At the end of October, it helped the Fujian and Guangdong armies capture Guangzhou. On November 29, Sun Yat sen, Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi jointly announced the restoration of the military government and the reopening of the government affairs meeting.
On April 7, 1921, the extraordinary session of the National Assembly elected Sun Yat sen as the President of the Republic of China. On May 5, Sun formally took office and immediately established a "formal government". In late June, Sun ordered Chen Jiongming to lead the Cantonese army to fight against Guangxi in the west. At the end of September, the Cantonese army captured Longzhou in Guangxi. Lu Rongting and others fled to Vietnam and then fled to Shanghai. The rule of the old Guangxi warlords collapsed. On December 4, Sun Yat sen arrived in Guilin to form the army and navy Grand Admiral Headquarters , reorganize the army for the Northern Expedition.
In the first ten days of April 1922, Governor Sun returned to Guangdong, ready to pass by Jiangxi Northern Expedition. On June 16, Chen Jiongming defected and overthrew the official government of Guangzhou. Sun led the naval fleet to suppress the rebellion in the provincial river for more than 50 days. On August 14, Sun and other officials returned to Shanghai, and immediately strengthened contact with the Soviet Union, the Communist Party of China, Anhui, Fengzhou, Zhili and other domestic forces in order to "work together" and "protect the cause of law without regret". In the middle of January 1923, Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong Beggars' Allied Forces captured Guangzhou. On March 2, Sun rebuilt the headquarters of the Grand Admiral of the Land and Navy in Guangzhou. In April and May, Sun commanded the United Army to stop the bandits Shen Hongying Rebellion, then launched the Dongjiang campaign to crusade Chen Jiongming's rebels. In October, Cao Kun paid bribes to elect the President, and the Congress was compliant; The war situation in Dongjiang was reversed, and the bandit coalition army was defeated one after another; Sun decided to advance the preparations for the reorganization of the Kuomintang. In the middle of November, Sun led the defense of Guangzhou, repelled the invaders Chen Jun, and turned to the great powers to demand the return of the Guangdong Haiguan Pass. In early December, Sun asked law protectors to "abandon the struggle of Congress and help the revolution". On January 4, 1924, Sun announced at the special government affairs conference at the headquarters: "Now the protection of the law is over, and the name of the protection of the law is no longer suitable for use.". "Today we should create the country in a revolutionary spirit and usher in a new era for the Republic of China." On the 20th, Sun reiterated the idea of ending the law protection movement and launching the national revolution separately at the First National Congress of the Kuomintang. The law protection movement laid the foundation for the national revolution of Kuomintang Communist cooperation.
