Republic of China game

In the study, only Zhang Xueliang and his wife Yu Fengzhi were inside.The two of them were talking by hand, the chessboard was black and white, and it was the end game.

The truce negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have finally settled in the past two days, and both sides happily signed the "Agreement on the Armistice" under the cooperation of Zhang Xueliang.It seems that Zhang Xueliang still has a lot of face!Having completed the mediation, Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army finally began to slowly deploy operations to withdraw outside the pass.This matter, Guo Songling was so anxious that he wished to fly 20 troops to Harbin overnight, but Zhang Xueliang was calm and not in a hurry.In his opinion, the return of the 20 troops of the Northeast Army cannot be hidden from the Japanese at all. In fact, the 20 troops from Shenyang to Harbin have to take the train of the South Manchuria Railway.If the Japanese really want to do something... they will act in advance when they get the news that the Northeast Army will return to the division!

Since there is no way to stop the Japanese ambitions if you go back early or go back late, why not just resign yourself to fate?So Zhang Xueliang began to pretend to be an ostrich, and ignored all the warnings sent by the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

The two looked up together, and saw Guo Songling standing there with a livid face, holding a stack of papers in his hand, pointing at Zhang Xueliang, panting too hard to speak.

Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi looked at each other, slightly surprised.Guo Songling has always had the style of a general, so it should be that the mountain collapsed on his face and his face remained unchanged.Even after the assassination of General Zhang, he was still calm and composed, assisting Zhang Xueliang to take charge of the overall situation, and quickly stabilized the chaotic situation of the Northeast Army.It's unprecedented to be so angry and frustrated like now!

Zhang Xueliang put down the chess pieces in his hand, and frowned slightly: "Teacher, what happened? Could it be that the Japanese caused trouble in the Northeast? Didn't you tell them to be patient?"

"Hanqing! Something happened in Shenyang!" Guo Songling waved the telegram in his hand, took another breath, and said in a deep voice: "Xiqia's telegram, this morning our people are in a movie theater run by a Japanese in Shenyang city. Watching the play, but for some reason, they clashed with Japanese expatriates! They even opened fire, killing and wounding more than a dozen people! Now the Japanese Kwantung Army has all been dispatched to surround the Beidaying camp to arrest the criminals!"

With a bang, Zhang Xueliang stood up, brought the chessboard down, and the chess pieces fell to the ground: "These guys are really bold! I told them to be patient, why did they make such a fuss about beating the Japanese to death? Xi Qia What are you doing for food? Why don’t you know how to control them? These guys are really bastards! Xiqia is also a mess! Teacher, the Northeast is not in chaos! We finally made peace with the KMT and the Communist Party and stopped fighting civil wars, so we barely maintained the situation in the Northeast. Don't mess it up!" Zhang Xueliang walked a few steps, and said again: "Teacher, do you know who did it? Has anyone caught it?"

Guo Songling nodded with a gloomy face: "Jin Puxin's soldiers did it. His troops are all a bunch of bandits left by Zhang Zongchang! He came out of a school and couldn't be suppressed at all, and his military discipline has always been the worst. Yes, we really shouldn’t let them guard Shenyang! These people are now hiding in the Peking University Camp, and the Japanese are going to go in and search, Han Qing, look at this..." Guo Songling's face became serious: "We have to give an order to agree The Japanese entered Beidaying to search...will the Japanese take advantage of this opportunity?"

Beidaying is the place where the Northeast Army stationed troops in Shenyang, and it is also the largest military camp in the Northeast. Currently, most of the troops of the Tenth Route Army of the Northeast Army are stationed there.If the Japanese Kwantung Army is allowed to freely enter and exit to search for the murderer, in case someone surprises you and confiscates the weapons of the Tenth Route Army, the entire Liaoning Province may be in the hands of the Japanese!But if they disagree, can the Japanese let it go?Will the situation escalate further?

"Teacher, what did Xiqia say in the telegram? Is there such a thing as shooting and killing?"

Guo Songling nodded with certainty: "Yes! Xiqia's telegram and Zang Fengjiu's (Zang Shiyi) telegram both said that this matter is true, and Jin Puxin also sent a telegram pleading guilty. This matter should not be wrong."

Zhang Xueliang stomped his feet and cursed angrily: "What a bastard! Forget it! Let the Japanese go in and search! Order Xiqia to manage the troops well, and never let them have any more conflicts with the Japanese! No matter what happens, You must endure it!"

Guo Songling sighed, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it, so she just shook her head and left.Only Zhang Xueliang and his wife were left relatively silent in the room.At this moment, neither Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling, nor Yu Fengzhi, who witnessed the whole decision-making process, never imagined how serious the consequences of Zhang Xueliang's decision would be!

……

Wuhan East Lake, Nationalist Government Military Commission.

At this time, Luo Yaoguo had also learned the news of the incident in Shenyang, and it was more timely and accurate than Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling's news!Because the one who tipped him off was Yoshiko Kawashima, the mastermind of the so-called "theatre incident"!This incident was actually just a farce directed and performed by the Japanese. Although someone fired shots, absolutely no Japanese was killed.The reason why Xiqia and Jin Puxin would admit it was because they were also one of the directors of the incident, and they really wrote, directed and acted themselves.

As for Luo Yaoguo, who knew the truth of the whole incident and what was about to happen, the first thing he did was naturally pack it.He wanted to package the Nationalist Government and the Kuomintang as patriotic and anti-Japanese good people as soon as possible. The traitorous bad guy Luo Yaoguo didn't care who would do this. In short, he had to get this good person card as soon as possible!Otherwise, I will be as despondent as a mouse crossing the street from now on...

"Jiegong, the Japanese are about to attack! Let's send out an anti-Japanese telegram and call on the people of the whole country to unite and oppose the Japanese imperialist aggression conspiracy!"

Luo Yaoguo stormed into Chiang Kai-shek's office in a hurry, and threw a telegram that had already been drafted on the desk.

Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback. He knew more or less what the Japanese were doing.I have also sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang more than once, asking him to be careful.As the worst and worst reactionary in China right now, the enemy of life and death in his eyes will always be the Communist Party.So if Zhang Xueliang can smash the Japanese conspiracy, he is also optimistic.In this way, he can concentrate all his energy on the civil war against the Communist Party and the people!With the current strength of the Kuomintang, if Japan and the Soviet Union did not intervene, they should be sure to eliminate the Communist Party, right?Unexpectedly, these ignorant Japanese still couldn't help jumping out to make trouble.

Looking at Luo Yaoguo, who was a little dispirited and gloating, Chiang Kai-shek took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, picked up the telegram on the desktop, and said, "Brother Fuwen, is the news accurate this time? It was a false alarm, and it was a big joke in the end, right?"

Luo Yaoguo waved his hands, with a serious expression on his face: "Mr. Jie, we are not afraid of making jokes. But no matter what, this banner of resisting Japan and saving the country cannot be taken away by others, otherwise we will be passive!"

Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback when he heard the words, and shook his head blankly: "Are you talking about the Communist Party? They will go to resist Japan? With their little strength, wouldn't they be defeated once they resisted?"

Luo Yaoguo looked at Chiang Kai-shek with a smile on his face, and said in his heart: "The one who resisted the Japanese and became weaker and weaker is your old man. The Communist Party's resistance against the Japanese became stronger as the Vietnam War fought! The Japanese are probably the transportation captains of the Communist Party, right?"

"Jie Gong, let's not worry about these things. In short, once the Japanese invade the Northeast, ethnic conflicts will surpass class conflicts and become the main conflict! Can win people's hearts! And our Kuomintang cannot rely on the peasant movement and workers' movement to win people's hearts like the Communist Party, and all we can rely on is the banner of national righteousness!"

Chiang Kai-shek smiled: "Okay! Let's do it like this. Hurry up and send a call. I'll call Hu Zhangong and Xu Ruwei at home. Anyway, we're just singing high-profile things. The only headaches are President Mao and Premier Zhou in Beijing."

……

At this moment, the leaders of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Beijing have already gathered in the Xihua Hall of Zhongnanhai, Beijing. The meeting room is full of smoke, and no one speaks. Zhou Enlai, Li Lisan, and Mao Zedong are sitting side by side in the upper seat. On the ground, without saying a word, it can be seen that they are all preoccupied.

In fact, among the three forces of the Northeast Army, the Kuomintang, and the Communist Party, the Communist Party was the first to get news of the Shenyang Incident!Although the Communist Party's intelligence work for the Kuomintang in this era is not very ideal, but the Northeast Army, a leaky sieve, has long been infiltrated by them!As soon as Xiqia's telegram was sent out, the CCP's Special Branch took the code book of the Northeast Army and translated it at the same time.As soon as they saw the content of the telegram, the bigwigs in the CCP immediately understood that the Japanese were going to attack!

But what is unexpected is that when faced with such a big issue of right and wrong in the Japanese imperialist invasion, the leaders of the CCP were actually caught in a dilemma!The members of the Politburo were divided into two factions. Wang Ming, with the support of Mifu, the general adviser of the Communist International, believed that the entire content of China's political life at the moment was the struggle between the Beijing Central Government and the Wuhan Nationalist Government!And Japan's conspiracy must also be in collusion with the National Government, and its nature is that the Kuomintang reactionaries colluded with imperialism to betray the country and seek glory!Therefore, the CCP should unswervingly fight against the Kuomintang reactionaries to the end.And the elimination of the Kuomintang reactionaries is also a prerequisite for defeating Japanese imperialism!The other faction, headed by Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong, and Zhu De who had just returned from the front, believed that this was an invasion of China by Japanese imperialism and had nothing to do with the Kuomintang reactionaries.After all, it is well known that the Kuomintang reactionaries have always been anti-Japanese, and they also wiped out nearly 1928 Japanese troops in the Battle of Jinan in [-]!It is said that they colluded with the Japanese, I am afraid that no one will believe it.And now the Beijing government led by the CCP is the central government, and the central government is responsible for defending the territory.If the Northeast is invaded, the Beijing government has a natural obligation to resist. If it does not resist... I am afraid that it will be cast aside by the people of the whole country.

In the silence, Zhao Shiyan, Secretary-General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, walked to the door with a serious face, holding a newly translated telegram in his hand: "The Nationalist Government in Wuhan has just sent a telegram, saying that the Shenyang theater incident this morning is the result of the Japanese Empire Communist conspiracy to invade the Northeast, call on the people of the whole country to unite, unanimously, order the Northeast Army to resist to the end, every inch of land will be fought..."

Mao Zedong extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, took a sip from the teacup on the table, and kept frowning deeply. The atmosphere in the conference room did not ease with the KMT's high profile, but became even more gloomy.

The Kuomintang is now in the south, not close to the Japanese, and their army and air force are strong, the Japanese will never go to the south to land in search of beatings.Just sing their high-profile songs, and there will be no risk.However, when they made a high-profile statement, they forced the Beijing government, which was fighting against the Wuhan government, into a very embarrassing position!

"Comrades, we can no longer hesitate." Mao Zedong stood up abruptly, scanning the circle with piercing eyes: "In the face of the Japanese imperialist invasion, our central government must stand on the opposite side, that is, we must fight for every inch of land and resist to the end. We must not make mistakes on the issue of our position at this critical moment."

Zhou Enlai nodded slightly, and took Mao Zedong's words: "This electrification will definitely boost the prestige of the Kuomintang, and the result of the Shandong battle in 1928 will also make democrats pin their hopes of defeating Japanese imperialism on the National Government. It is very unfavorable to us, so our party must also hold high the banner of anti-Japanese, unite the people and democrats of the whole country with the anti-Japanese national united front, and jointly promote the Northeast Anti-Japanese War to victory!"

"Zhou! But you are different from the Kuomintang. Your territory is close to the northeast. If you want to hold high the banner of resistance against Japan, you will inevitably have a war with Japan, and you will fall into the predicament of being enemies!"

The person who spoke was Mif, an adviser to the Communist International. His face was pale, and his voice was slightly panicked. Although he was trying to hide it, most of the committee members at the meeting could still feel his panic.

Mao Zedong looked at Mifu coldly, and said lightly: "My comrade, don't worry, the city of Beijing will not be lost, and our central government will not let people go to Suiyuan. Because the Japanese don't want to come here at all. , what they want is the Northeast, not the whole of China!" He sneered again: "The Japanese lost to the Kuomintang in the Battle of Jinan, and they defeated Russia and the Soviet Union in the two Russo-Japanese Wars. After they stabilize the Northeast, where will they expand?"

……

Northeast Shenyang, former Northeast Army Marshal's Mansion.

The conference room was full of senior generals of the Northeast Army who stayed in Liaoning. Except for Xiqia, Zang Shiyi, Jin Puxin and a few other generals of the Northeast Army who had already surrendered to the Japanese imperialists, most of them had pale faces and dull eyes. .For them, today is an unimaginable nightmare!These people were the division commanders, brigade commanders, and chiefs of staff of the Northeast Army in the morning, and they commanded an army of thousands of people at least, and they were all majestic masters.At noon, I suddenly heard about a "theatre incident" and I don't know whose soldiers were so blind that they shot and killed the Japanese nationals!And the Kwantung Army didn't know how they got the news so quickly?Almost as if it fell from the sky, it took control of Shenyang City and surrounded the Beidaying!He also proposed to go to Peking University to arrest the murderer!

In fact, at this time everyone has already felt the smell, and this matter is strange no matter how you look at it.Tens of thousands of Kwantung Army rushed into Shenyang City as if they were stepping on a point, and took down all the strategic points in one fell swoop!Who would believe it if there was no conspiracy?But everyone has already received an order from Zhang Xueliang who is still in Tianjin, telling them not to resist no matter what!No one knows what to do now?As a result, at this moment, Xiqia brought the telegram from Zhang Xueliang that he had just received, and he was still not allowed to resist!Endure it no matter what!In the end, all the ministries obeyed Xiqia's order, confiscated the guns and ammunition from the soldiers below, locked them in the warehouse, and let the Japanese army enter the Peking University to search...

Who knew that as soon as these little Japanese who killed thousands of knives rushed into the Beida Camp, they immediately occupied the armory, blocked all the brothers in each army in their barracks, and captured the [-] troops of the Northeast Army without bloodshed. The entire city of Shenyang was also occupied by them!Then, these senior military officers were summoned one by one to the mansion that originally belonged to Zhang Xueliang for a meeting to discuss the issue of supporting the Emperor Xuantong as the ruler of the three eastern provinces!Listening to this meaning, the feeling is that the Qing Dynasty is back?well!Aren't the old surnames of Xiqia and Jin Puxin both Aixinjueluo?How could this Zhang Xueliang trust such a person?

"Everyone, after thinking about it for so long, have you thought about what to do?" Xi Qia's voice suddenly remembered, and he gave the generals in the room a cold look, and finally shook his head:

"In fact, I made this arrangement for your consideration. Everyone has a family and their property is outside the customs. Can they really give up and go to the customs? Seeing that Zhang Xueliang is about to lose his family business, he can still act like he did in the past." Keeping a lot of idlers like you? You have to eat if you don’t die for one day, and you have to wear clothes if you don’t die for two days, let alone a big family! In my opinion, everyone might as well sign their names on this support and power-on, just like the Japanese. Anyway, they are not trying to annex our three eastern provinces, they just want to change our masters! What’s wrong with this? Didn’t the old commander be supported by the Japanese at the beginning? Now the Japanese want to support Emperor Xuantong. Why can’t we be officials for someone? As long as you sign your name and give the Japanese a face, you will keep the official position if you want to be an official in the future! If you don’t want to be an official, we will protect the industries in the Northeast. How nice it is to eat, drink and play for the rest of your life without any worries! It’s so much better than entering customs and being a mourning dog!”

After saying these words, Xiqia picked up the support call and threw it in the middle of the conference table with a snap, then just looked at everyone with a smile.

Chapter 0511 9.18 War of Resistance ([-])

On September 5, [-], the Japanese Kwantung Army occupied Shenyang without bloodshed, which opened the prelude to the death struggle between the two countries in East Asia in the [-]th century.One side has been plotting for a long time, while the other side has nothing to do. In addition, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have their own thoughts.This sudden attack in Shenyang is even more exciting than the September [-]th incident in history!The three divisions of the Tenth Route Army of the Northeast Army stationed in Beidaying had nearly [-] people. Under the orders of their commander-in-chief Xiqia and the random instructions of the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army Zhang Xueliang, they were all disarmed by the Japanese army without any resistance. !Shenyang was also completely occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army.What is even more unexpected is that when Japan occupied Shenyang, most of the senior officers of the Tenth Route Army of the Northeast Army jointly issued a telegram to support the former Qingxun Emperor Aixinjueluo Puyi as the ruler of the three eastern provinces!And at the same time, telegrams of allegiance were sent to the two central governments in Beijing and Wuhan in an attempt to confuse the public and disguise a naked aggression as a rebellion within the Northeast Army supported by Japan!

After supporting Puyi's telegram and publishing it, the world was shocked.Especially the entire Northeast Army, from the Northeast Army Commander's Office who was busy arranging the withdrawal of troops back outside the pass, to the Northeast Army generals guarding various places in the Northeast, were all shocked and speechless for a while.

In their impression, the Japanese are an incomparably powerful country. Although China is now claiming to be rising, it is after all the rising territory of the Southern Nationalist Government.Their Northeast Army has nothing to do with the "rise" at all, and they are even worried that the stronger national government will come to unify them.Because of this worry, the Northeast Army's reliance on their Japanese backers can be said to be increasing, and Japan seems to be much more lenient to the Northeast Army because of the Nationalist Government's great enemy... More than a year after the murder of Marshal Zhang , the Japanese basically did not make any particularly unreasonable demands... except for the "Japan-Manchuria Cooperation Agreement" some time ago, but in the eyes of most people in the Northeast Army, this agreement is compared to the previous ones that the Japanese forced the old man to sign I don’t know how much those secret agreements have been loosened... I never expected that these dwarf Japanese pirates who seemed to be friendly were so ruthless, and they bit the Northeast Army hard as soon as they made a move!

After the shock, there was panic. Shenyang had been lost, and the whole of Liaoning was extremely empty. It must have been occupied by the Japanese army within two days.In this way, the Northeast Army was cut into two sections, and the 20 army hanging in the pass became a lone army... And listening to the tune of supporting electrification, Japan seems to want Emperor Xuantong to be the ruler of the three eastern provinces!The two sites in Jilin and Heilongjiang have also been reserved by the Japanese!In this way, will the Northeast Army still have a home to return to?

The current performance of the Northeast Army is similar to that in history, but in this time and space, there is no central government like Chiang Kai-shek who has been blamed!On the day of the incident, the central authorities of Wuhan and Beijing issued anti-Japanese telegrams one after the other, and at the same time ordered the Northeast Army to resist!Order them to fight for every inch of land, and fight to the last bullet!The Beijing government, which nominally governed the Northeast Army and the Northeast, even directly instructed the Northeast Army to advance eastward immediately with a powerful force, and to occupy Jinzhou, the gateway to the West Liaoning Corridor, before the Japanese army.

Newspaper offices in the north and south also got the news at the first time. Early the next morning, they published the news of the 9.18 incident on the front pages of their respective newspapers in bold and wide black letters.They called on the two central governments of the north and the south to unite to defend against foreign captives. At the same time, they also accused the Northeast Army of losing troops and losing ground, wronging the country and humiliating the country... There are even major southern newspapers publicly calling on the central government in Beijing to remove Zhang Xueliang from his post and other posts, and appoint a brave and good fighter In the future, he will command the Northeast Army, regain lost ground, and fight against Japanese pirates.

At this time, regardless of the North and the South, who would dare to talk about tolerance, try to avoid conflicts, and resolve disputes through negotiation?The raging sky that day was enough to drown him!For a while, from Beijing to Wuhan, there was a sound of shouting and beating.In this time and space, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have reached a rare consensus!As for who will fight... There is no difference in the views of the two sides. The Northeast is in trouble. If the Northeast Army does not come forward, who will let it take the lead?Over the years, how many people's fat and anointment has the Northeast Army searched in the Northeast?And why have you ever handed over a penny to the previous central government?Now that the Northeast is facing a catastrophe, if you don't rush to the front, will you be worthy of your parents and folks who have paid you taxes for more than ten years?

As for whether relying on the fighting power of the Northeast Army's bean curd dregs, can the Japanese be driven away and regain lost ground?No one cares about this matter except the Northeast Army.The only thing to consider is how much benefit the respective forces can win in this sudden incident!There are both prestige and actual military territory benefits.

And the princes of the Northeast Army, including Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling, all lost their voices for a while.

On the heart, the Northeast Army is of course patriotic!Otherwise, how could they have launched the Xi'an Incident angrily in history, detaining Chiang Kai-shek, who pursued the policy of fighting against the outside world first, and thus making immortal contributions to the country and the nation?But right now Chiang Kai-shek is still playing a high-profile role as a cat in Wuhan, and he has no intention of coming to Tianjin to be captured by Zhang Shaoshuai. Instead, the leader of the Communist Party of China, Zhou Enlai, arrived in Tianjin by train early the next morning on September 9.18...
