The three main factions and many small factions are collectively known as the "Beiyang Warlords".
In the early days of the Republic of China, warlords from all over the world fought each other for territory, and in order to raise military salaries, the leaders of these warlords were also "painstaking", not only leviing harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the common people, but also starting ideas (tomb robbery) for "dead people".
In addition, there was even one of the leaders of the Anhui warlords who wanted to collect money

, openly planting opium in his own jurisdiction, harming the local people, and he is —
Chen Shufan.
Chen Shufan was born in 1885
One of Shaanxi Ankang
The family of silk merchants, because his father Chen Shengde was a middle-aged son, attached great importance to him, so Chen Shufan practiced Confucian classics under the guidance of his father from an early age, so that he could take the examination in the future and embark on a career path.

Beginning to implement it, the Guangxu Emperor also issued an edict to abolish the imperial examination system shortly after that, which completely frustrated Chen Shengde's desire to "hope that the son would become a dragon", but life still had to go on, and since Wen's work was not good, it was time to come to Wu.
In 1905, Shaanxi established an army primary school, Chen Shengde sent his son Chen Shufan to the school to go to the school military, and then because of his excellent grades, Chen Shufan was sent by the school to enter the Baoding Army Accelerated School for further study in the artillery department, after graduation, he was assigned to the Shaanxi Army Mixed Artillery Battalion as a platoon leader, and soon after he was transferred to the ordnance officer.
After the Outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, the Shaanxi side, in order to prevent the local new army from following the uprising, took the initiative
After collecting the bullets of the new army and sending "secret agents" to arrest the revolutionaries everywhere, the atmosphere in the whole city of Xi'an instantly became tense, and it was at this time that a man named Him was named
The young man of the well was found
Chen Shufan, and persuaded him to join the revolutionary camp, and although Chen Shufan was only a small ordnance officer at this time, he also saw that the Qing Dynasty's qi was exhausted, so he joined the alliance on the spot, and then the two hit it off.
Jing Beimu was responsible for commanding the Shaanxi Revolutionary Army and the Qing Army in battle, while Chen Shufan used his status as an ordnance officer to provide weapons and ammunition for the revolutionary army, and finally succeeded in the restoration of Xi'an.
After the founding of the Republic of China, the "provisional president" Yuan Shikai was dissatisfied with the revolutionaries' control of Shaanxi, so he sent his confidant Lu Jianzhang to lead an army into the territory of Shaanxi, and then issued an order to general
Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Xiao were transferred to Beijing and appointed Lu Jianzhang as the governor of Shaanxi. In the face of this kind of "sudden change of ownership," Chen Shufan chose to see the wind and steer the rudder and attach himself to Lu Jianzhang, which caused strong dissatisfaction and accusations from the Shaanxi revolutionaries, but Chen Shufan also thought that he was very "aggrieved." On the one hand, he defended himself, and on the other hand, he secretly took in some revolutionary party officers and soldiers who had been laid down by Lu Jianzhang, as well as covered up some high-level revolutionary party figures who were hunted down by Lu Jianzhang to escape from the devil's cave, and gradually gained the understanding of the revolutionaries.
In 1915, Lu Jianzhang supported Yuan Shikai as emperor, which caused indignation among the people of Shaanxi.
Chen Shufan also felt that his opportunity had arrived, so he joined forces to arrest Lu Jianzhang's son and openly declared his opposition to Lu Jianzhang, and finally under the dual pressure of hostages and military forces, Lu Jianzhang had to choose to give way to Chen Shufan.
After becoming the overseer of Shaanxi, Chen Shufan began to vigorously praise Yuan Shikai, and as a result, he was severely reprimanded by Shaanxi revolutionaries such as Yu Youren, but his behavior attracted the attention of Duan Qirui, and since then, Chen Shufan has become a member of the Anhui warlords. After gaining a firm foothold in Shaanxi, in order to strike at Israel

In order to raise military salaries, Chen Shufan decided to expand the army and began to plant opium in Shaanxi in order to raise military salaries, in a vain attempt to feed the army with poison.
In 1918, Chen Shufan ordered the county magistrates of Shaanxi counties to "encourage" the peasants to plant opium, and imposed more than half of the income as the "tobacco tax" paid, for a time, the whole of Shaanxi was planting opium everywhere, and Chen Shufan also greatly expanded his strength through this huge amount, but this move brought endless pain and loss to the people of Shaanxi, prompting Shaanxi's grain fields to decrease year by year, from the previous grain-producing areas to grain-deficient areas, and also led to an increase in the number of opium smokers in Shaanxi year by year. It has caused great harm to social order.
After the end of the Zhiwan War, Duan Qirui was forced to go to the wilderness, and Chen Shufan wanted to switch to Zhang Zuolin and Cao Kun's men, but the Shaanxi military and civilians took the lead in suing the Beiyang government, all of which were counted, and Cao Kun and Wu Peifu were also very angry about this, so they complied with the will of the people
It was announced that Chen Shufan would be relieved of all his duties and that Yan Xiangwen, commander of the 20th Division, would be appointed as the overseer of Shaanxi. After the appointment was conveyed to Shaanxi, Chen Shufan refused to accept it, and with his own troop strength of more than 100,000 troops, he began to fight with Cao Kun, only to be beaten by Wu Peifu and forced to flee to Sichuan and Shanghai for refuge. After going to the wilderness, Chen Shufan used the money he had looted over the years to become a Yugong, and his life was also full of taste.
Later, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, the Japanese came to Shanghai to persuade Chen Shufan to come forward to organize a "puppet government", but chen Shufan strictly refused, and in order to avoid the Japanese' coercion, he took the initiative to settle in Sichuan, in addition, Chen Shufan also opposed it in his later years
Chiang Kai-shek
A civil war was launched, but because he stepped down early, it did not cause much repercussions, but in terms of these two things, Chen Shufan in his later years still maintained a certain national integrity.
On November 2, 1949, Chen Shufan died of illness in Hangzhou at the age of 64.
