國民政府成立后,汪精衛在推進黨軍體制、強化權力的過程中,與蔣介石產生越來越尖銳的摩擦,直至1926年發生"三二〇"事件。事件后至8月下旬北伐軍擊敗湖南境內吳佩孚勢力期間,蔣介石大力更動黨軍體制。體制的變易,既是黨軍、文武兩對主從關系變化的結果,又強化著軍主黨從和武主文從。體制的變更表明:雖歷經改組,國民黨依然受制于各軍事實力派;國民黨政權及其軍隊仍舊帶有深厚的宗法派系的烙印。盡管體制更易,改組后黨治為表的大勢卻不可逆轉。從短期看,以蔣介石為代表的軍人地位的上升,迎合了戰爭時代的要求,對北伐及定都南京有不小的正面價值。但從長期看,不能不說國民黨政權的軍事烙印太深,向現代政黨政治的轉型并不成功,這給黨政軍的未來命運埋下了重大隱患。

After the establishment of the Nationalist government,Wang Jingwei had more and more conflicts with Jiang Jieshi when Wang tried to promote the Party-army system and consolidate his power. This resulted in the March Twentieth Incident. From this incident to late August when the Northern Expedition Army defeated Wu Peifu’s army in Hunan,Jiang had been making efforts to reform the Party-army system. The change in the Party-army system resulted from the new situation in the power structure,namely the superiority of the army over the Party,the military over the civilian power,and in return reinforced the new situation. The system change illustrated that despite its reorganization,the Nationalist Party was still restrained by all the local military powers and the government and army of the Nationalist regime still had a salient characteristic of patriarchal factions. However, the symbolic significance of the Party rule established after the reorganization of the Nationalist party could not be reversed. In a short run,the rising power of the military leaders such as Jiang Jieshi met the need for the wartime and had positive influence on the Northern Expedition and the establishment of the Nanjing government. Yet,in the long run,especially compared with the party revolutions in Mexico and Turkey,the Nationalist regime had a very strong hue of military color,so it was not so successful to transform to a modern political party,which was a latent danger in the future of the party,government,and army of the Nationalist regime.
