1921年7月,正热衷于宪政和联省自治运动的湖南省临时省长赵恒惕为了扩张联省自治范围,发动了湘鄂大战。战后,大量溃散的兵士因生活无着转而为匪,湖南土匪活动进入一个异常猖獗的时期;人们的生命财产遭到极大破坏;战争及土匪活动严重阻碍了当地经济社会的正常发展。历史发展到今天,虽然时代不同了,但在很多问题,尤其军人安置问题、枪支管理问题上,我们亦不乏从中得到启示。军人安置不当,社会难以稳定和谐。枪支管理不严,公共安全难以保障。 In July 1921, Zhao Hengti, Hunan Provincial Provisional Governor, who was keen on constitutional government and the provincial government’s self-government movement, launched the Great Battle of Hunan and Hubei in order to expand the scope of self-government in the province. After the war, a large number of collapsed soldiers were turned into bandits because of no life. Hunan banditry entered an unusually rampant period. People’s lives and property were greatly damaged. The war and banditry activities seriously impeded the normal economic and social development in the local area. Although the times are different from the historical development to the present, we also have some enlightenment on many issues, especially on the issue of military placement and on the management of firearms. Improper placement of soldiers and difficulties in social stability and harmony. Lack of gun management, public safety is difficult to protect.
