- Chapter 278: Yanjing Undercurrent
At this time, Pingjin and Tianjin were already turbulent, undercurrents were lurking, and various dormant forces came to the forefront one after another. They all believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Since the signing of the Tanggu Agreement, the Nanjing government has been facing North China, especially North China. The control power in Pingjin area is extremely weak.
Otherwise, we cannot let the non-direct-line miscellaneous troops, Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, take charge of Pingjin. However, Song Zheyuan was assassinated, and a power vacuum appeared in the Pingjin area. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Many forces are unwilling to be left alone, such as the miscellaneous forces after the harsh winter. Grass, noisily poked his head out.
Among these forces are the old and young of the former Qing Dynasty, frustrated soldiers from the Beiyang warlord era, unemployed politicians, and politicians who are still active in Pingjin and Tianjin. For a time, Pingjin and Tianjin gathered together, with long robes, mandarin jackets, suits and leather shoes complementing each other. It was very lively.
If we look closely at the root causes, they are all inextricably linked to Japan, the mastermind behind the scenes. Among them, the most eye-catching and active ones are undoubtedly the mainstream within the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee, headed by Wang Yitang, Wang Kemin, Qi Kuiyuan, etc. The pro-Japanese faction was the most vocal.
Their reason is that a country cannot be left without a master for a day, and a locality cannot be without a leader for a day. It does not take an old man with high moral standing and a senior position in the political arena to be able to take on this important task. North China is the North China of the people of North China. It does not have to be favored suddenly. In North China, a young man with no political experience seizes a high position, has a heavy army, and has no political experience.
This is simply a condition tailor-made for these, the pro-Japanese faction in the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee. Tang Qiuli was naturally excluded. He was an outsider, and he was highly regarded by Chairman Chiang. He was young and weak, so he couldn't do any of that. The Lord of North China.
After reading the intelligence, Tang Qiuli's mouth became even more sarcastic. These people, relying on the support of the Japanese, had forgotten everything. They had not yet understood a universal truth. A regime without the support of force is built on the beach. A tiny wave can cause the pavilion to collapse.
His instructions to the Peking intelligence agency were not to interfere but to wait and see what happens.
As a result, associations and rallies, public appeals, and even farces such as assassinations and saping behind the scenes were constantly staged in Beijing and Tianjin. Even tidbits about a political figure¡¯s historical background and private life, such as how many concubines he had and how many illegitimate children he had, were published from time to time. It filled the newspapers and became a topic of conversation among citizens of the two places after dinner.
All of this was done while pretending to be still unconscious, but actually hiding behind the scenes and watching with cold eyes. Song Zheyuan and others were in the field, but they communicated with Song Zheyuan's telegrams through the intelligence system, and Tang Qiuli, who knew all the trends in Pingjin and Tianjin, expected it. .
The two of them did not take any measures. In the era when a gun was the king of grass, although these people had Japanese support behind them but had no military background, it was difficult for them to succeed. As the backbone of North China's defense, the First Division and the 29th Army, It is firmly in the hands of Tang Qiuli and Song Zheyuan.
However, Song Zheyuan saw painfully that some officers of the 29th Army, at this time when people's hearts could be tested, echoed Wang Yitang, Wang Kemin and others and fought fiercely. Although they were not the main generals with the power to command the army, they were also in the 29th Army. Unstable factors have formed among officers at all levels of the army, and some of these people are old brothers who have followed him for many years.
Tang Qiuli led his troops and quietly drove back to Peiping, leaving the cavalry brigade stationed outside the city. During such a sensitive period, a large number of troops entering the city would cause panic and speculation among the citizens.
Under the leadership of Shan Hu, Tang Qiuli rushed to the Union Hospital in a light manner and met with Song Zheyuan. This meeting was extremely confidential. Only Shan Hu and a few other people knew about it. Even Mei Ting did not know that Tang Qiuli had already Return to Peiping.
One night, this night, I don¡¯t know what Tang Qiuli and Song Zheyuan talked about. According to later speculation, this meeting established the pattern of the all-out war of resistance in North China. Song Zheyuan quietly retired, and Tang Qiuli officially took over the military and political power in North China.
Farewell to Song Zheyuan, Tang Qiuli is still an old army commander. Talking about the betrayal of his old brothers who have supported each other for many years, he feels depressed in his heart with his eclipsed, waning mood and sighing.
After meeting Qiuquan who led the press team to the battlefield of Xiaowutai Mountain, Tang Qiuli still felt a little sad. He was thinking of himself. When the hard years of the all-out war of resistance came, his close friends and partners who had followed him for many years, Can a situation like that of the 29th Army occur? Or even become enemies at war with each other?
Qiuquan, who was sensitive and thoughtful, saw that Tang Qiuli was not very interested and didn't ask too much. He knew that this younger brother was so young and the burden he shouldered was far greater than that of his peers. How could he be forced to do it? Which old Jianghu is like that, hiding his emotions and anger, especially in front of his brother.
Qiuquan briefly reported on the situation of the press corps, specifically mentioning that the leader of the Nanjing press corps was a deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Party Headquarters of the Kuomintang and requested to meet with the division commander.Qiuquan excused himself on the grounds that the division commander was commanding at the front and had no time to rush to Peking to greet him in person.
The deputy minister was very interested in the assassination of Commander Song and asked many questions. Moreover, as soon as he settled down in Peking, he specially summoned Mei Ting. According to Shan Hu's report, Mei Ting and the deputy minister had a secret conversation for several hours. .
After hearing this, Tang Qiuli was quite surprised. The Central Party Committee of the Kuomintang belonged to the Erchen brothers and should belong to the Central Unification System, while Mei Ting was from the Military Unification System. They were not affiliated with each other, but now they are together. It can only be explained that the Nanjing government reached an internal consensus on the assassination of Song Zheyuan and believed that this was an excellent opportunity for central forces to return to North China, especially the Pingjin area.
"And I should have been excluded. For such an important event as the assassination of Song Zheyuan, the Nanjing government did not even question myself, the second-in-command of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee, and the second-largest person in the Pingjin area. This is abnormal in itself.
It may be that he has tens of thousands of troops, which aroused the suspicion of Chairman Chiang. The bigger reason should be that certain political factions in the Nanjing government reached political compromises for their own interests with only one purpose, which appeared in North China. In a power vacuum, we cannot let this great opportunity fall into the hands of a migrant who has no political background.
It cannot fall into the hands of the pro-Japanese faction belonging to the local forces. The deputy minister of the Central Party Committee just cast stones to ask for directions. Then came people from all parties and important officials of the Central Committee. They besieged the bandits and Badalhu in Xiaowutai Mountain. The original intention was He wanted to completely eradicate banditry in North China and use this to attack the Japanese.
Unexpectedly, it touched the sensitive nerves of China's political arena and involved all forces. A local bandit war turned into a battleground for various political forces, and the evil black butterfly instigated by the Japanese With its wings, it changes the direction of the storm. History is created by people, and the process of creating history is far more exciting and moving than the result.
He told Qiuquan that he would arrange for the press team to set off for the Xiaowutai Mountain area as soon as possible tomorrow and ensure their safety along the way. After the bandits in North China were brought in, no other local forces would dare to pay attention to these reporters.
Only the Japanese must be doubly wary of them. They have just suffered a big loss at their own hands. If they can swallow this bitter pill silently, then they are not called Japanese. It is impossible to come in open arms and do it behind the scenes. Hands and feet are their usual methods.
After all, the Japanese intelligence network that has been operating in North China for many years is not a vegetarian. It can make them hate the major media in the country and the world, and even certain political factions in the Nanjing government. This is what the Japanese want, just like themselves, as long as they It is something that makes Japanese people miserable and upset, and they are willing to do it.
Tang Qiuli really guessed right. This was based on a very good understanding of his opponent. This time, the large group of reporters from Nanjing really fell in the eyes of the Japanese secret service in the Pingjin area. Tang Qiuli and him could Losing face to the devil-like military commander in front of the Chinese and undermining his prestige and appeal in North China is what the Japanese are most willing to do besides military operations.
What¡¯s more, those old friends in the Hebei-Cha Administrative Committee also need the support of the Empire of Japan. Their coming to power will be more conducive to the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan and the early realization of autonomy for the five provinces of North China.
To this end, the Japanese military secret services in Beijing and Tianjin formulated all plans except for directly leaving the cave, including disguised bandit attacks and kidnappings, poisoning and assassination, laying landmines along the way, and causing mass casualties to the press corps.
The Japanese military secret service made rigorous preparations for this, but sadly discovered that this 200-strong press group had an unimaginable number of escort troops and was even more heavily guarded. They did not have any contact with the local government along the way. If you take advantage of the opportunity, you can only return in frustration.
However, there was an agent who was loyal to the Emperor and willing to sacrifice his life for the Holy War of the Japanese Empire. He led his team and risked being discovered. After quietly following for several days, he found an opportunity to sneak into the press corps at night. station.
What¡¯s even more unfortunate is that their whereabouts have been under the surveillance of Qiuquan¡¯s special operations detachment from the beginning, and they were not alerted just to mobilize more big fish.
After finding that there were no other fish, Qiuquan ordered the net to be closed. The thirty-two members of the Japanese special agent team were all captured alive without missing a single shot.
The method used by the special operations detachment to interrogate the prisoners caused these Japanese agents who thought they were Bushido spirited to have a complete breakdown of will and severe pain in their hearts. They easily defeated their belief in being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Except for the leading Japanese agent who committed suicide in despair, the rest All thirty-one confessed.
The entire process did not alarm the reporters at all. The Japanese spies were executed secretly. From then on, they, the invaders from foreign countries, disappeared quietly in North China.Even the Japanese secret service included them in the list of missing persons. Until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, this matter remained a mystery and a shadow in the hearts of the Japanese spy chiefs who fled back to their homeland in panic.
