孙传芳作为北洋军阀的后起之秀,以其机警狡诈,合纵联横,终于成为称霸东南五省的新直系首领。孙传芳在经营江浙期间,采取了一些顺应民心、安抚民众、推行民治的政治经济措施,既安定了社会秩序,又对本地区经济的恢复和发展有所裨益。但作为封建军阀,孙传芳思想保守僵化,自私狭隘,又缺乏军事远见和谋略,故难免出现联军内部矛盾重重、分崩离析的局面,更难抵挡北伐军锐利的攻势。其苦心经营年余的江浙地盘也最终尽数失去。 Sun Chuan-fang, a rising star of the Beiyang warlords, has finally become the new direct leader who dominated the five southeastern provinces with its alertness and cunning. During his administration of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Sun Chuanfang adopted some political and economic measures that conform to the popular feelings, appease the public and promote the popular rule, which not only stabilizes social order but also benefits the economic recovery and development in the region. However, as a feudal warlord, Sun Chuanfang’s thought is conservative, selfish and narrow, and lacking in military foresight and strategy. Therefore, it is inevitable that the contradictions within the coalition forces will collapse and will be more difficult to resist the sharp offensive of the Northern Expeditionary Army. The painstaking efforts of more than the remaining territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang eventually lost.
