12 sett 1924 anni - Fighting Over Shanghai

Descrizione:

In September fighting broke out when Zhejiang authorities refused to cede administration of the city to Qi Xieyuan. Zhang Zuolin and Sun Yat-sen pledged to defend neutral Zhejiang, expanding the conflict to the far north and far south. Indeed, the Fengtian clique was eager to avenge its defeat at the hands of the Zhili clique in the last war and had prepared intensively, both in military terms and politically, organising an anti-Zhili coalition with the KMT and Anhui as well as Zhili General Feng Yuxiang (who would soon enact the Beijing Coup).
