What s going on with the Eastern Crusade and the Northern Expedition?? Why don t you say the Norther

The first crusade was from January to February 1925, and the second from October to November 1925. The army in Guangdong was reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army and prepared for the Northern Expedition. The Northern Expedition was a war of the Guangdong Revolution against Beiyang, which began in July 1926 and ended in December 1928.

Overthrew the rule of Beiyang**, and basically formed the rule of the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang over China. Through the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, the teachers and students of the Whampoa Military Academy gradually became the backbone of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the two armies.

The Eastern Expedition was the Kuomintang's extermination of Chen Jiongming, and the Northern Expedition was to eliminate the Beiyang warlords.

This refers to the Taiping Rebellion led by Hong Xiuquan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and after capturing Tianjing (Nanjing) and serving it as the capital, it continued to attack in two ways, so as to complete the task of destroying the Qing Dynasty and unifying China. The Eastern Expedition was led by the Wing King Shi Dakai, and after reaching Sichuan, it began to encounter failures, and was finally wiped out by the Qing army on the Dadu River Chain Bridge. The Northern Expedition started from Yangzhou, passed through Anhui, Henan and other places, entered Zhili, and approached Tianjin.

Lin Fengxiang broke through the siege in Lianzhen and was captured. On April 3, he was inaugurated in Beijing. Li Kaifang retreated to Fengguantun in Shandong.

After being captured, he was escorted to Beijing, where he was executed on June 11. The Taiping Army's Northern Expedition was ultimately defeated.

The Northern Expedition forgot a little bit and looked it up.

The purpose of the Eastern Crusade was to quell Chen Jiongming's rebellion and stabilize the revolutionary base of Guangdong. The Northern Expedition was aimed at eliminating the warlords in the north and achieving the goal of unifying the north and the south, and the main targets were Sun Chuanfang, Wu Peifu and Zhang Zuolin. In its heyday, the Northern Expedition destroyed Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, but later due to the death of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the Kuomintang was divided, Chiang Kai-shek's counter-revolutionary coup d'état, and the Ning-Han confluence, that is, the failure of the Great Revolution.

However, the Northern Expedition continued, only because Chiang Kai-shek blindly excluded dissidents, did not care about the war situation and was afraid of Japan, so Zhang Zuolin was not destroyed, and the Northern Expedition ended with a detour to capture Beijing... Okay, that's all.

These are two great feats that have been deliberately downplayed, and some days don't want us to know the details.

This is similar to the ancient wars, that are all conquests, invasions, and not to mention that there is an idiom called "southern expedition and northern war (cutting)", so it is the Northern Expedition, this seems to be history, there is a Kuomintang and Communist Party in history who cooperated with the Northern Expedition.

It's just a habit, it's like saying that the east is going to fight for the west, and it's awkward to say that it's not used to the east and the west.

The southern conquest and the northern war. This may be a conventional saying, in fact, it is okay to say the Northern Expedition, otherwise, you will not be able to explain the word "Long March".

The above classmate explained the Northern Expedition, why only talk about the Northern Expedition during the National Revolution?

Haven't there been many Northern Expeditions in history, but because the north is high and the south is low, it is difficult to provoke the cold, and the success rate of the Northern Expedition is very low, but it can also be counted that Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition and Liu Bang's Northern Expedition have been successful.

Conquest is a term used only by another country.

The formation of the five-party pattern of Huayi has experienced more than five centuries of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the literature clearly takes Huaxia in the center, and the description of Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi cooperating with the Quartet probably appeared in the Warring States Period. In the seventeenth year of Zhaogong, Confucius once said when he learned the ancient official system from Tanzi: "I heard it, 'The Son of Heaven lost his official position and learned in Siyi', and I still believe it."

This refers to the four directions, and the Analects do not appear in the Analects of the People's Republic of China, such as "Dongyi" and "Nanban". "Mencius: King Hui of Liang" mentions "visiting China and raising the four yi", which still refers to the four directions. Although titles such as "Dongyi" and "Nanban" have appeared in "Mencius", it is said in "Mencius: Devoted Heart":

Jun is benevolent, and there is no reason in the world. The south is to conquer the north, and the east is to conquer the west. Xi is the queen of me!

From the above, it can be seen that since the early rulers of China occupied the central areas of the time when the geography and climate were extremely favorable [Henan (Xia Shang)-Guanzhong (Qin, Western Han)-Henan (Eastern Han, Wei, Western Jin)], they had a condescending political advantage of treating the surrounding regimes as east, west, south, and north and south and enshrined themselves as "middle".

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty crossed the river, the scholars of the Southern Dynasty have never forgotten to recapture the hinterland of the Central Plains (at least on the surface), and at the same time believe that they have maintained the orthodox Chinese civilization, so they call the war against the regime established by the nomads who occupied the north at that time "war", also to maintain a sense of political superiority.

The Eastern Crusade and the Western Crusade are also a kind of political superiority of the Central Plains regime, which has obtained a symbol of legitimate rule, over the regional separatist regime.

When the Northern Zhou, Yuan, and Qing Dynasty conquered China from north to south, they were still culturally dependent on the Central Plains civilization, and they used it or admired it, but they did not have cultural self-confidence, so they did not belittle the fugitive regime in the south in terms of terminology.

After the crusade to the east and the west, the expedition to the south and the north became a habitual expression, it was basically fixed.

These are all conventional names, the word Zheng is usually used in military operations to expand the territory, and it is also used together with the west and south, and the southward is called southward because the south is geographically lower than the north in general, so it is called southward, and the objects of crusade and attack are usually unjust and guilty, for example, the rebels and the puppet regime are to ask for explanations, in fact, to defeat him. The words used in connection include conquest and crusade.
