Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Northeast Survey
The Litton investigation team entered the Northeast to investigate, and Japan added obstacles and difficulties for this investigation. The investigation team fought wits and courage with them, and finally revealed the truth about "9.18" and the puppet Manchukuo.Ma Zhanshan, who took refuge in the Puppet Manchukuo, knew his way back. After earning a lot of votes from the Japanese, he calmly escaped from prison.
During those days, Honzhuang Fan under heavy pressure was indeed more troublesome (complex), more troublesome, more troublesome.
What was even more disturbing was this incident. Someone told him that the Litton investigation team had arrived.
Compared with the original expectation, the investigative team is long overdue.
Li Tun and his party arrived in Shanghai on March 14.According to the general itinerary, if you take the train, you will be able to leave the customs in a few days.
The truth is, they didn't make it to the Northeast until the end of the month.
Went for a tour?
I did go around for a while and went to Hubei, Sichuan, Shandong, and Tianjin, but the time was not very long, mainly to investigate the domestic situation in China according to the requirements of the League of Nations.
After the investigation in the customs is over, it should show up in the northeast, right?
Another half a month passed, and it still hadn't arrived.
This is really strange.I read in "Zeng Wenzheng Gong's Family Instructions", Zeng Guofan went from Beijing to Hunan, and he traveled all the way without trains, cars, or taxis, and he arrived home in half a month.Why is this investigation team so slow?
Gentlemen of the investigation team, no matter how absent-minded they are, they can't cope with their errands like this.You know, the eyes of the whole world are on you (the so-called whole world at that time mainly refers to a few small countries in Europe, America and Asia).
In fact, the investigation team had already arrived in North China and met with Zhang Xueliang, one of the parties involved in the "September 18th" incident.
But when I arrived at Shanhaiguan, I was stuck by something and couldn't get out.
This is the so-called Gu Weijun's "full entry problem".
According to the resolution of the League of Nations, the members of the investigation team were headed by Lytton and composed of representatives from the five countries of Britain, the United States, Germany, France and Italy.In addition, in order to assist the investigation team, China and Japan will each send one person as an advisor.
This advisor has two requirements.One is that you cannot be a member of the government, that is, you cannot be a civil servant, lest you use public affairs for personal gain.Second, you must be good at diplomacy, otherwise you won't be able to help much if you go there.
Gu Weijun, who is known as a diplomatic genius and has just resigned from the post of foreign minister, meets these two conditions. Of course, the Chinese side chose him.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to enter "Manchuria" and exit the customs, the pseudo-"Manchuria" unexpectedly proposed that anyone else could come to Manchuria, except Gu Weijun.
On this issue, the Japanese and puppets are actually finding fault for nothing.
So far, the establishment of Manchukuo has been established, but after the excitement, it is found that no one supports them, that is to say, no one is willing to recognize them.
I hoped to have a good talk with the investigation team of the League of Nations who came to Japan as the first stop, "Those things about Manchukuo", but they said angrily: What is Manchukuo?We don't know, nor are we interested in knowing.
At this time, "Manchukuo" was like that hozen who wore a hat and wanted to pretend to be human, so he blushed and hid away.
Depressed ah, must find a way Caixing.
The matter was handed over to the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" of Manchukuo.The head of this department is called Xie Jieshi.
He is from Hsinchu, Taiwan.
Those who came to Manchuria to try their luck back then, besides the Japanese, Koreans, and Taiwanese.
At that time, Chinese Taiwanese were actually Japanese.
This seems a little wrong, but we can't look at the problem with our current perspective or thinking mode.After Taiwan was ceded for so many years, several governors have been changed, and objectively speaking, Japan's governance in Taiwan is still good, and it pays great attention to buying people's hearts.
At this point, the Japanese are much smarter than the Mongols.Even after the Mongols established the Yuan Dynasty, they still did whatever they wanted in the Central Plains, as if the family was not his.The Japanese are different. They belong to the type of people who live their lives with their own calculations, and usually have to keep detailed accounts when buying radishes and vegetables.
Although when he arrived in the mainland of China, he would beat up and kill like crazy, but that was because he knew that it was not his own, and it didn't matter if he ruined it.Try it in Taiwan, if any pots and pans are broken, you have to pay for it yourself in the end.He doesn't do such stupid things.
I saw a memoir that said that after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the return of Taiwan, the local people found that the government of the Republic of China that came to take over was not as good as they had imagined. Many people even missed the Japanese occupation era.
This is probably true, although as descendants of the Yellow Emperor, we may feel bad after reading it.
Xie Jieshi changed his Japanese nationality to Chinese nationality in order to come out to hang out. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was naturally arrested as a traitor, which he never expected at the beginning.
At that time, Xie Jieshi was the idol of Taiwanese.Because Taiwan is a small place, it is the first one like him to be such a high-ranking official outside.It is said that along his "successful footsteps", tens of thousands of Taiwanese came to Manchuria for "development".
Xie Jieshi, who has Chinese nationality but has a complex with Japan and Taiwan, of course, will not speak to China.Normally, however, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not have his turn to speak.His subordinates are better than him.
Under normal circumstances, he had to listen to his subordinate——Hashi Chuichi, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
In the Puppet Manchukuo, as long as the chief executive is Chinese (or Taiwanese) and the deputy chief is Japanese, everyone on earth knows that the former is a display, and the latter holds real power.
Ohashi believes that since the Litton investigation team does not regard us as a vegetable, we should find an excuse to give them some color. Only in this way can we show that our "Manchukuo" is a person and attract international attention.
But how to give color?
The countries represented by the "ghost animals" in Litton's investigation team are not easy to mess with.After thinking about it, we can only find trouble with the Chinese, and Gu Weijun became famous as early as the Paris Peace Conference, and the Japanese are quite afraid of him.
In order to prevent Gu Weijun from entering the "Manchukuo", Daqiao found a purely unfounded reason, saying that once the Chinese consultants came, they would interfere with the fair investigation, which would be detrimental to the "new regime" (Puppet Manchukuo).
What a joke, didn't the Japanese consultant go all the way to Shanghai?
Ohashi said: You are talking about a Japanese consultant, but I am from Manchukuo, and we are not of the same family.
His wishful thinking is to let the investigation team know that our "Manchukuo" is not an unknown person, nor is it just a show. We are powerful and an independent country. If we don't want to let you in, we won't let you in.
If this matter is done, and the Litton investigation team goes back to publicize it, the puppet Manchukuo will naturally have more face, and they are not afraid that other countries will not recognize it.
Li Dun, the head of the investigation team, became angry.
How can there be such a rule that the consultants of the dignified investigation team cannot enter Manchuria together?
He immediately went to Foreign Minister Fangze: What are you doing?
Fangze pretended to be confused, with a look of surprise and innocence: We are two countries, and they may not listen to me (“The Changchun government does not obey the Japanese government”).But don't worry, let me figure out a way.
He pretended to send a telegram to the Japanese consul in Changchun (the "capital" of the pseudo-"Manchukuo" is in Changchun), asking the consul to mediate between the two countries through diplomatic efforts (referring to the pseudo-"Manchukuo" and the Chinese government).
In fact, he and Daqiao have been exchanging telegrams on this matter, and the latter will report to him one by one what he wants to do and what his purpose is.
Just play.
Gu Weijun held a press conference in Beiping, and publicly stated his attitude: I am a member of the investigation team, and it is my legitimate right to go out and enter "Man" with the team, and it will never be shaken.
In this regard, Litton expressed firm support on behalf of all members of the investigation team: since the Japanese consultant can accompany the investigation team to conduct investigations in various parts of China, so can Mr. Gu.If he can't go, neither can we.
Now Daqiao had nothing to say, after all he didn't dare to offend everyone in the investigation team.
One plan failed, and another plan was made, which provoked assassination on the route into the northeast.
The investigation team was originally going to go overland, that is, go directly to the northeast from Peiping.The bridge proposed that you can’t go by land, you have to go by water and enter the northeast from Dalian by boat.
Before the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo, Daqiao was always a consul, so he paid great attention to many diplomatic details.The request he made actually had his own considerations.
Traveling by land, you must go out of Shanhaiguan, and there are many "troublemakers" along the way, so there is no guarantee that the investigation team will see something they should not see.And if you go by water, these concerns will disappear.Because Dalian has been occupied by Japan since the Russo-Japanese War, and had never fought a war during the "September 18th" Incident, it is more "worthy of looking at".
Li Tun disagreed with this proposal at first, but when the investigation team took a special train to leave the customs, they were stopped by the Kwantung Army stationed in Shanhaiguan, saying that as long as Gu Weijun was on the train, they would not let the car pass by. .
Seeing that the time was getting longer and longer, the investigation team had no choice but to agree to the compromise plan reached by the Japanese government through "working hard", that is, Li Tun led the investigation team to go overland through Shanhaiguan, and Gu Weijun followed the other part of the investigation team. The Chinese side sent warships to escort them to Dalian.
On April 21, 1932, the investigation team finally arrived in Shenyang.
Seeing Gu Weijun appearing in front of the investigation team together, Daqiao's shameless energy came up again: I let someone surnamed Gu come in, so you don't have to express it?
"Show" means to let him join the investigation team to enjoy himself.
As an English gentleman, Lytton had never seen such a shameless person, but he was a smart man, knowing that sometimes it was necessary to bow his head under the roof of others, so he agreed.
After arriving in the Northeast, the investigation team had no intention of contacting the puppet Manchukuo regime at first, but the Kwantung Army immediately found various reasons and excuses to make a stumbling block.Tossing and tossing is to let you know that if you don't deal with the puppet Manchukuo on this ground, you will definitely not let you have a good life.
Under such circumstances, Li Dun felt that if he insisted not to deal with the Puppet Manchukuo, this investigation mission might be difficult to complete.So he first visited Benzhuang Fan, the commander of the Kwantung Army, and said that he hoped to get in touch with the "new government" (Manchukuo) through him.
Seeing that the investigation team had changed their course with knowledge and interest, Ben Zhuang Fan was of course very happy, and happily helped him find someone.
Next, the investigation team met with the main Japanese parties involved in the "September 18th" Incident and some senior officials of the Puppet Manchukuo, including Puyi.
During the meeting, Litton always only listened carefully and did not express his opinion lightly.
After a few days, he basically figured it out——
There are two problems we have to solve.
First, whether Japan's actions on the night of "September 18th" were provocation or self-defense.
Second, what exactly is Manchukuo.
The first is the issue of responsibility, which is relatively easy to deal with.Isn't there a wicker lake, just go and see the scene.
The second is the key, and also the most difficult, which directly determines how to deal with the Manchurian issue.
If the establishment of Manchukuo was an expression of the true will of the Northeast people, and the locals supported it, then this was China's internal affairs, and the League of Nations did not need to intervene, nor could it intervene.But assuming that there are still unknown shady and tricky hidden behind it, the situation will be more complicated.
Around the investigation of the Manchukuo issue, an invisible cold war has been quietly laid out.
In this struggle, in order to expose the truth, some brave people even paid the price of their lives.In Harbin alone, 5 Chinese, 2 Russians, and 1 North Korean were murdered for submitting petitions to the investigation team.Countless people were arrested, detained and persecuted.
As wise as Lytton, I am afraid that the Japanese would cover up the truth so frantically.
In order to perform this extremely fake drama well, Itagaki and Doihara, one in Shenyang and the other in Harbin, tried their best to figure it out, and even used their milking energy.For a while, even the best old spy Doihara was too busy and often nervous.
That Daqiao, who was the vice-minister of diplomacy of the Puppet Manchukuo, was shameless and brazenly trying to squeeze into the investigation team, of course for no other reason than to better monitor and obstruct the investigation team's actions.
In addition to this guy, the Kwantung Army also sent a large number of police officers to provide "protection" for the investigation team.Overnight, the surroundings of the investigation team almost became the world of the police.
In the hotel where I stayed, except for the members of the investigation team, they were actually policemen.The passengers are the police, the waiters are the police, and even the garbage collectors are the police.
Upset and want to take to the streets?
Let me tell you, it's the same on the street. Wherever the investigation team can get in touch, whether it's a shop owner, a restaurant waiter, or even a theater ticket seller, their secret identity may be: the police.
I really can't stand you guys, go into the toilet, so you can't help it.
Don't dream, maybe the person squatting next to you is taking notes for you.
In addition to "protecting" the investigation team and guest actors, these policemen also had to stand guard at the door of the "suspicious people" to prevent them from contacting the investigation team.
The so-called "suspicious person" is not even a little bit. Most of the Chinese businessmen with two moneys are included in this list (the reason will be mentioned later), so in the end, the police were not enough. In desperation, Doihara had no choice but to send Some people who came from bandits were found out, and a piece of "Manchukuo" military uniform was thrown on them: go, don't be idle, and watch for me.
Some people are afraid that these people with "criminal records" will mess around.Doihara said that from now on, these people are Manchukuo soldiers, and even if they committed a crime, it has nothing to do with us in Japan!
What's ridiculous is that these bandits really thought that the "Imperial Army" elders wanted to reuse them, so they behaved very dedicatedly. They stood on guard as soon as they were asked to stand guard, and followed them as soon as they were asked to follow, without blinking their eyes.Just after Litton's investigation team left the Northeast, they pestered Doihara to make them regular again, saying that they no longer wanted to be bandits, but wanted to eat "public food" for a long time and work as a policeman, making Doihara dumbfounded.
Li Tun knew where the focus of the investigation in Manchuria was, and so did the Kwantung Army.Therefore, one side is trying its best to understand public opinion, while the other is desperately trying to "manufacture" public opinion.
Can public opinion be "manufactured"?
why not
The first is to remove the traces of the Kwantung Army, so that the investigation team believes that Manchuria is already a real "Chinese governing China."
Before the investigation team arrived in Shenyang, the Japanese were busy.The original slogans declaring "the imperial army's might" all over the street were wiped clean, and even the wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the Japanese Gendarmerie was removed first, and they were going to hang it up after the investigation team left.
Whether Litton and his party went to Shenyang or Harbin, the most people they could see were policemen, and they were all policemen, and they were all either Chinese policemen or Belarusian policemen (Russians are suitable for this job just like Indians are suitable for patrols and guards). , I was stunned that no Japanese was involved in it.As for the soldiers, they were all Chinese soldiers from Manchukuo. The Japanese Kwantung Army and Gendarmerie were just like rare animals, which were rarely seen under normal circumstances.
They all went back to Japan?
No, how could it be? They are still standing on the street.It's just that he changed his vest and put on the military uniform of the puppet Manchukuo.
The imperial army has become a puppet army. Although it is wronged, it can only suffer like this for the time being.
In this way, something went wrong.
When the investigation team had just arrived in Harbin, a Japanese military police (of course wearing a puppet military vest) in charge of security suddenly rushed towards the investigation team, holding a petition letter in his hand.The Japanese military police next to him were dumbfounded, and they rushed up and dragged him aside.
After interrogation, it turned out that the Japanese military policeman was a Korean.When he saw the League of Nations came to investigate the Northeast, he thought of the tragedy of his own country, and planned to take this opportunity to complain to the investigation team.
In the words of his letter, Manchuria had only been occupied by Japan for a few months, and the League of Nations paid so much attention to it.Our North Korea has been annexed by Japan for more than 20 years, why don't you even care about it?
It was impossible to prevent such a thing from happening right under my nose, but the old spy Doihara was exhausted.
In order to turn passive into active, he simply set up a "petition group".
Of course, the "petitions" are compiled in advance, and those who go there only need to sign their names.In addition, what to say and what not to say after seeing Litton's investigation team are also stipulated.To put it simply, it is only allowed to say that "Manchuria" is good, and it is not allowed to say that "Manchuria" is bad. If you say one more sentence on the spot, say one less sentence, or don't say anything at all, you will be shot when you come back!
Doihara thought that this was not safe, and the momentum was not big enough, so he came up with the idea of a mass demonstration.
Regardless of whether they are adults or children, regardless of whether they are Chinese or White Russians, as long as they have no connection with the Japanese in name, they are all driven to the streets by him to parade.Under the gunpoint of the Japanese army, everyone had no choice but to hold the "Manchukuo" flag in their left hand and the "ruling" portrait (of Pu Yi) in their right hand, shouting "Long live Manchukuo" while walking.
This move is to let the investigation team see: how much the people here "love" our country-Manchuria.
At this point, the Kwantung Army believes that it should be foolproof.I have done everything that should be done, and I have done what I should not do, so what are you afraid of? !
Cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness, and this is the name "smart person".
Among all the "measures", what Doihara and the others are most proud of is probably the police who surrounded the hotel where the investigation team stayed like an iron barrel.
What they didn't expect was that this place became a veritable colander.
Of course these policemen dare not use the Japanese.Being so close to the investigative team, if someone is in a hurry and accidentally says "Bageyalu", they will all be exposed.Only Chinese can be used, at most Belarusian or Korean.
When they were sent on duty, Doihara and the others had already explained their "discipline".These people promised very well in person, and turned into the Northeast version of "Yu Zecheng" as soon as they turned around.
As grassroots policemen, they are often angry with the Japanese, and they all know exactly what this so-called Manchukuo is actually.Therefore, not only did they themselves become living witnesses to reveal the truth about Northeast China, but they also took the initiative to help the investigation team secretly meet with many relevant people through various channels and channels.
During the Northeast investigation, the Litton investigation team received more than 1,500 letters from various parties, most of which were forwarded by these policemen who were in Caoying and were in Han.
Even those "petition groups" who were forced to come here will secretly send a message to the investigation team when the Japanese are not present: Don't look at the letter, it is all Japanese nonsense or edited by them, "It doesn't mean that we are waiting for you." Intention"...
Among all the members of the investigation team, the one who was "taken care of" by the Kwantung Army was naturally the Chinese consultant Gu Weijun.He enjoys "star treatment". Everywhere he goes, he is watched by the police. He is not allowed to do this, and he is not allowed to do that.Others can go out, but he can't go anywhere, he can only stay in the hotel honestly.As for wanting to meet Chinese people in Northeast China, that is something that I don't even think about or mention.
But who is Gu Weijun, that is an old world.This little trick, in his opinion, is simply mentally handicapped.
Didn't you let me go out?Okay, I still don't think it's safe to go out, it's best to have you here to protect me.
If you can't walk, don't you still have an open mouth? What do diplomats rely on, they only rely on an open mouth.
Gu Weijun, who can only be a live-in man, gave full play to his role as a famous mouthpiece.Litton told him that many Chinese people under investigation dare not tell the truth.He taught the head of the investigation team face-to-face tips: Some people are willing and dare to tell the truth.
who?
The Chinese managers of HSBC and Citibank, although they are Chinese, are all senior employees hired and protected by Britain and the United States.The Japanese dare not touch them easily.Why don't you invite them here?
Li Dun suddenly understood.
How to ask questions is very important when conducting investigations, and there are many ways to do it.
Li Tun, who admired Gu Weijun very much, adopted many of his suggested survey questions.
For example: Who was it that accompanied Pu Yi to Changchun? (It can be concluded: Doihara)
Who initiated Manchukuo? (Conclusion: Kwantung Army)
What is the relationship between Manchukuo and Japan? (It can be concluded that the former is the result of the latter)
Although these issues seem to be some details, they are all sharp swords that can best expose the essence of Manchukuo.
During these days in Manchuria, Li Dun pushed through the clouds and gradually discovered the truth of the matter.
The origin of this "Manchukuo" is unknown, and it is inextricably linked with Japan. To put it bluntly, it is actually a monster created by the Japanese.Not only that, but it does not get the support of the local Chinese in Manchuria, and it is quite unpopular.
What surprised Li Tun was that in Manchuria, not only the grassroots people did not recognize this "Manchukuo", but even the Chinese officials in the "Manchukuo" regime were full of complaints, saying that they were a puppet under the threat and surveillance of the Japanese. That's all.
Dissatisfied with the status quo, there are local entrepreneurs, bankers and other rich Chinese businessmen in Northeast China (the same goes for Belarusian businessmen).
They are miserable.Since the "September 18th" incident, after the Kwantung Army invaded the Northeast and established the "Manchukuo", these people have become the key targets of kidnapping and extortion, and it is none other than the Japanese spies represented by Doihara military police.
There are so many Japanese military and police agencies in the Northeast that it is dazzling.
Among them are the Japanese secret service directly responsible to Tokyo, the East Army and the Gendarmerie under its control, and various types of police: "Manchukuo" national police, city police, Japanese consulate police, criminal police, and railway police.
This group of people has its own business, no one cares about anyone, and they all want to "generate income". The rich Chinese in the Northeast have become Tang monk meat in their eyes.
Some rich people are greeted by this one as a "Chinese spy" today, and tomorrow they are summoned on the grounds of an "anti-Japanese element". The prison has almost become another home for him.In the end, all the money was emptied, and some unknown departments hurriedly put him on the extortion list.
Of course, Doihara, who has always been good at helping the Kwantung Army to make money, did such good things, and he did it very "beautifully".
At that time, people who came to Manchuria were not only Chinese and Japanese, but also all kinds of foreigners from all corners of the country.
Once, two Japanese captains of the Gendarmerie colluded with two foreigners—one was a foreigner (Russian) from the Gendarmerie, and the other was a foreigner who worked in a secret service (I didn’t find out which country he was from), and they joined forces to go out. Rip off.
Unfortunately, the "Tang Seng" who was extorted by them was a manager of a foreign company, and he took foreign money, so this time he made a big fortune, and several people got 180,000 (unit: US dollars) at once.
After the incident, it is said that everyone contributed, at least fifty-fifty split the bill, but the two captains took 160,000 of it alone, and only gave the Russian and the spy foreigner 10,000 each, and the name was still "hush money".Foreigners know that this is a territory controlled by the Japanese, so they have no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it.
After all, I got $10,000 more or less, which is not a small number. The foreigner spy was very happy after returning.
But he didn't expect that the little money he got, was soon remembered by someone.
Within a few days, the police from the Japanese consulate found him and asked him to take out 8,000 US dollars, otherwise he would order his arrest.
The foreigner ran away that day.
He is not a fool, isn't this clearly a posture of hiding all the birds and killing them all?
There are foreigners above foreigners.The Japanese secret service is under the control of the head of the agency, Doihara.After the superior foreigner found out what was going on, he came to Doihara and asked him to take care of this random extortion and lawlessness.
When Doihara heard this, he was really annoyed: How could these two idiot captains do such a thing? Who gave them the power to distribute the money to foreigners? It was all a waste of dollars. Our Kwantung Army is short of funds. Well, $20,000, tsk tsk...
Completely speechless.
The foreigners who escaped had no way of chasing them back.He ordered the Russian to be arrested, and it took a month to force the poor guy to spit out the remaining $9,600.
The two captains of the gendarmerie were terrified when they saw this, thinking that Doihara would definitely not spare them.Fortunately, for his own people, the head of the agency knows it well.After they were forced to hand over their own 160,000 US dollars, Doihara did the same thing and gave them 10,000 US dollars each, and then left with the remaining 140,000 US dollars without changing face or heartbeat.
As for the Russian guy who was locked up in the bureau, he returned to work in the gendarmerie after handing over the money-the wages in Belarus are not high, and the labor cost is low.
The senior foreigner at the side was stunned.
Although they are both called "Ohara", in terms of vision and mind, this Doihara really cannot be compared with Ishihara, and can only be described as short-sighted.
From here, we can also see how chaotic and unpopular the Northeast was under the rule of the Kwantung Army at that time.Not to mention those real anti-Japanese elements, even businessmen and ordinary people who originally wanted to calm things down and live a peaceful life, under such circumstances, had to be forced to rebel.
For Westerners who have a tradition of paying attention to public opinion, the information provided by the Northeast people is very important.So far, the investigation team has a certain understanding of what kind of stuff the Puppet Manchukuo is.But next, Li Dun and the others wanted to meet another person.
For the Litton investigation team, if they cannot meet him, the issue of Manchukuo cannot be brought to a successful conclusion.
Because this person not only fought with the Japanese and made it known to the world, but also participated in the "preparation" of the Puppet Manchukuo. How could such an important witness not be seen by the investigation team?
This person, of course, is Ma Zhanshan, the legendary figure in the eyes of Westerners, the "Resistance General".
After the fall of Harbin, Ma Zhanshan was shocked and finally made up his mind to formally "cooperate" with the Japanese.As soon as Xie Ke and others left, he left Helen alone and headed for Shenyang.
At this time, it was only three months before the vigorous Jiangqiao Anti-Japanese War.
The Japanese treat others differently.If you are a weak person, even if you kneel down and kowtow to him three times, he will not look at you more seriously, and will still calculate in his heart how to take advantage of you; but if you are really strong Those who beat him, but he will be pleasing to you and respectful to you.
In the eyes of the Japanese, Ma Zhanshan is a strong man.
As the commander of the Kwantung Army, when Honzhuang Fan went out, even the "ruling" Puyi had to go to the station to greet him in person ("Ling Puyi must respectfully go to the station to greet him").This is not a matter of whether you are happy or not. This is what people put on. Who made you his puppet? You must know that no matter how big a puppet is, it is still a puppet.
Ma Zhanshan flew to Shenyang, and he was greeted at the airport by Fan Zhuang, who had a bigger air than anyone else.
The so-called "Big Four" of the Northeast puppet regime: Zhang Jinghui, Ma Zhanshan, Zang Shiyi, and Xiqia. Ma Zhanshan beat the Japanese the most, but ranked only after Zhang Jinghui, who debuted with Zhang Zuolin. Didn't even touch the edge of the chair.
Such a high courtesy should be placed on ordinary traitors, one must wake up from a dream, but Ma Zhanshan is different.
In essence, this person is not material for being a traitor. Even if he enters the puppet regime, he still does not change his true colors.
The same is to "cooperate" with Japan, and his ideas and goals are different from those of the other three "heads".Those three are standard "dog heads", and they will wag their tails at the Japanese and beg for mercy. Whatever Shigemoto and Itagaki say, what they promise, they dare not even give a fart.Their requirements are also very simple, and it is enough to have a bone to chew on.
As a heroic figure with very similar personality and talent to Zhang Zuolin, what Ma Zhanshan wants, which the "dog heads" may not even dare to think about, is to rule at least one side (Heilongjiang), that is, to promise "nothing is wrong" in Japan Under the conditions of (no territorial claims, no garrison, and no interference in internal affairs), Jiangxi Province will implement complete autonomy.
Just think about it, if possible (under the condition of strength permitting), he will drive all the Japanese out of the Northeast, and then call himself the "King of the Northeast".
But he greatly underestimated the desire, ambition and unbelief of the Japanese.
The first two points are relatively obvious and straightforward, and the "September 18th" incident can be clearly seen, but the last point is extremely hidden, and it can be said that it has deceived many people (including those who were later eaten in the Pearl Harbor incident. Americans who have suffered greatly).
At that time, not to mention ordinary Chinese, even senior diplomats were generally unwilling to deal with the Japanese government. The reason was that the Japanese said things differently. The backfoot will deny it flatly, lacking the minimum spirit of honesty and trustworthiness.
Didn't Doihara personally promise Puyi to be the emperor?As a result, after defrauding people to come here, I don't care about anything, and what I said is like farting.The same is true for Itagaki. His promise to Ma Zhanshan of "nothing is wrong" and the autonomy of Jiang Province is just a stopgap measure, and his purpose is to lure you in first.
Jiang province autonomy?how can that be possible.
According to Shigeru Honjo and Itagaki's thoughts: In that case, wouldn't our Kwantung Army's busy work be in vain, wouldn't the blood of the imperial soldiers be shed in vain?
Ma Zhanshan, who was awarded the puppet Jiang Provincial Chairman, had several unexpected things.
One is that it was unexpected that "Manchukuo" would be established.
Ma Zhanshan originally wanted to get Zhang Jinghui and the other three to declare "inter-provincial self-government", but he did not expect Japan to establish "Manchukuo" and asked the four to sign and approve the "Building Manchukuo Plan".The three naturally obeyed obediently.
"Manchukuo" is far from the self-government of Jiangxi Province. Ma Zhanshan is very disappointed, but he is pointing a gun at it, so you dare not sign it?
Ma Zhanshan did not say that he would not sign, he said that he was sick.
Of course, the Kwantung Army was not so easy to deceive, and immediately asked Japanese doctors to come and see.Ma Zhanshan had a headache and vomited again, but the doctor couldn't find anything wrong, so he had to diagnose that it was caused by fatigue and needed to rest, and there was nothing serious about it.
If you are not seriously ill, of course you have to sign.
Ma Zhanshan refused to sign.
The pen was almost stuffed into his hand, Ma Zhanshan said: I don't believe me, I guarantee it with my personality, I absolutely agree.
"Personality" has been brought up to talk about things, and no one can force him.
In fact, Ma Zhanshan's heart is bright. If he writes in black and white, even if there are a hundred mouths in the future, he will not be able to say clearly. How can he sign this word?
personality?That depends on who you're with.Except for the Japanese who look like robbers here, they are just a bunch of nodding and bowing local softies. What kind of personality do you talk to me about.
Turn around and run to Qiqihar.
Second, it is unexpected that the autonomy of Jiangxi province is like a cake.
Ma Zhanshan's wishful thinking is to at least become the king in Jiang Province first, and wait for a comeback.This is his survival wisdom. In this sense, Ma Zhanshan later claimed that what he did was actually a "fake surrender" is also reasonable.
But when he came to Qiqihar, things were not as simple as he imagined.
Because in this place, he is no longer able to speak, be the master, and be a family.
Ben Zhuangfan sent him a consultant, but all military and political affairs in Jiang Province, no matter how big or small, had to go through this consultant, and Ma Zhanshan could not make decisions without authorization.What made him even more depressed was that all the Japanese were true workaholics. They went to work within eight hours and returned to work after eight hours. Regardless of whether others needed private space or not, they would come to Ma Zhanshan's house whenever they had time. He will not leave in the future, asking this and that, making Ma Zhanshan very annoying.
Without the right to make decisions, "nothing, no two" and Jiangxi province autonomy are just empty talk. Ma Zhanshan feels that he has been played by the Japanese.
An appointment not long after, almost pushed the old horse into a desperate situation.
On March 10, the Puppet Manchukuo appointed Ma Zhanshan as Minister of Military and Political Affairs.
In fact, Ma Zhanshan's consent was not obtained beforehand for this appointment.
The Minister of Military and Political Affairs is equivalent to the Minister of Defense of Manchukuo. It sounds like an official with real power, but the Japanese are manipulating it behind, and even "ruling" is just a display.In Ma Zhanshan's view, the most threatening aspect of this appointment was that he had to go to work in Changchun, the "capital" of Manchukuo.
We probably still remember that when Chiang Kai-shek held a meeting in Nanjing, he appointed Lao Feng as the vice-president of the Executive Yuan and minister of military affairs, and Yan Xishan as the minister of the interior. The two were scared to run away at that time. In fact, the reasons were the same. It's not that he thinks that the salary is low and the treatment is low, but that he is afraid that in this way, he will not be able to control his army.These veterans of the rivers and lakes are all clear in their hearts: only with guns in their hands can they be good or bad, and without guns, everything is useless.
Put it on Ma Zhanshan, the reason is the same.In Qiqihar, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and his own soldiers are right in front of him. If he goes to Changchun alone, he will not only become a bird in a cage from now on, but it will be difficult to say whether he can control the army again.Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Kwantung Army to issue an order, arousing the idea of "arranging and dispatching" Ma Zhanshan's troops.
In fact, this problem is not a problem for Zhang Jinghui and other three "dogheads", because those three are submissive and do not think about doing anything, as long as they have high-ranking officials and generous salaries, they can do nothing.It is impossible for Ma Zhanshan to be willing to serve as a puppet to the Japanese.
what to do?
Only pretending to be stupid.
Fortunately, pretending to be a fool, for Ma Zhanshan, is an innate gift, and he has worked hard the day after tomorrow, so he has already become a master.
他把黑龙江军署参谋长王静修推出来，安排他担任军政部次长，并以次长身份到长春的伪满军政部代行部长一职，这样他本人短时期内就不用离开齐市了。
到这里，你可能已经看出来了，在如何和日伪打交道方面，马占山使的两招几乎和当年的冯玉祥如出一辙。
其实这也不奇怪。兵法三十六计，说起来不少，连篇累牍，真正实用的却没有几个，有一定的重复率实在不用太过惊讶。
当然，计都是好计，具体使用效果就要看各人本事了。
躺床上装病这招，老冯用过，老马也用过，老冯灵了，老马不灵。除了马占山装病的功力可能不够（也许是需要一点内功的），只能怪日本医生太专业了。
而在弄个次长上去顶杠这一招上，结果却倒了过来：老冯不灵，老马灵了。
老冯之所以不灵，是因为南京国民政府有规定，次长不能代理部务。
老马之所以灵，则是由于伪满洲国的台子才刚刚搭起来，一切乱糟糟，没什么规定不规定的，次长代行部长职务，顺理成章，没人能提出异议。
这一关总算是暂时糊弄过去了，但马占山已经意识到：关东军需要的是一只听话的狗，如果自己不是或不肯就范，他们迟早会对你动刀子。
三是想不到自己的处境会如此尴尬。
马占山离开海伦降敌，这消息对枕戈待旦的三军将士来说，犹如一声晴天霹雳。
那年月，当汉奸的多了，今天一撮，明天一撮，大家司空见惯，都不当回事了，反正这些人本来就不是什么好货色，退一步说，要是他们不当汉奸都奇了怪了。
不管怎样，我们还有一杆大旗，那就是马占山，他是永远不会倒的。
江桥抗战，名动天下，马占山初到海伦，其声誉曾如日中天。不仅周围各路武装皆以能听其指挥为荣，就连江省的蒙古王公都愿意受他调遣：您老人家指哪儿，我们就打哪儿，您让我们上哪儿，我们就上哪儿。
部队要招兵买马，第一天贴出章程，第二天全国各地要来投军的学生（当时称为“援马团”）、义勇军就挤破了街，把个小小的海伦城弄得热闹非凡。
要人有人，要粮饷有粮饷（后者仅捐助就源源不断），这声势连关东军一时都不敢轻易上来叫阵，然而众人万料不及的事还是发生了：主帅一声招呼不打，就去降敌了。
谁降也轮不到马老爷子这样的盖世英雄啊。
众人惊诧莫名，面面相觑。
不是我不明白，这世界变化得实在是太快。
长久以来一直支撑大家的精神支柱轰然倒塌，所部顿时分崩离析。
谢珂黯然离去，苑崇谷愤然进关，徐宝珍不辞而别，谋臣勇将一时星散。
老马的近卫部队其时正驻守于黑河。在获悉他投敌的消息后，这支亲兵卫队无法接受这一事实，激怒之下，竟然把马占山的老家都给抄了，此即所谓“黑河兵变”。
人心散易聚难，自此以后，那个曾在江桥令日军闻风丧胆的英雄集体再未能真正恢复昔日元气和风采。
这是件最让人痛心的事。
海内外舆论为之大哗。“马占山牌”香烟再也没人抽了，好好的牌子一下子就臭到了家。捐钱捐物的则各个痛心疾首、义愤填膺：俺们省吃俭用，捐出来的那些血汗钱都是给你抗日用的，你现在这样做不是拿我们当猴耍着玩吗。更有那不依不饶的，甚至在报上发表声明，要求老马把他们捐的钱物一个不少地全吐出来，还给他们！
遭人白眼闲话多了，连家属也受不了。马占山的儿子从上海寄了封信过来，开头还说得很是温馨，说老爸您在前线打仗给家里扬了名，沾您的光，那些日子，儿子我在街上走路都是飘着的，然后话锋一转——可是听说您最近投降了日本人，真的假的，不会吧？ !
要是真的，咱啥话也别说了，一刀两断：你没资格做我老爸，我也不想再做你的儿子。
对马占山这样的“老派人”来说，传宗接代的观念根深蒂固。就这么一个儿子，宝贝得不能再宝贝，要不然也不会想到要送到大上海来给养着了。现在儿子说不要他这个老爸了，可想而知，这个打击有多大。
老马接到信，当时就哭了。
众叛亲离，名誉扫地，还让日本人给钳制着，里外不是人，心里这个苦啊。
其实，怪不得别人，都是自找的。
大家以前烧香上供，那是因为你抗日，现在你不抗日了，有什么理由再宠着你？
大兄弟，还是听听这句话吧：亡羊补牢，未为晚也，及早悔悟，还来得及。
幸运的是，马占山听进去了，在名誉地位权力都即将付诸东流之际，他决定“反正”，重执抗日义旗。
这时，他得到一个消息，国联派出的李顿调查团即将赴满调查。精明的马占山立刻意识到，这是一个再合适不过的机会。如果能在调查团到来之前完成“反正”，一方面可以利用国际舆论对日伪造成压力，另一方面也可以扩大影响，洗刷自己的“汉奸”罪名。
可身处敌营，“反正”并不是那么容易做到的一件事。
别的不说，光在齐市驻守的铃木旅团就不是好对付的。这个旅团实际上就担负着对马占山监视和军事威慑的双重作用，与之相比，马占山带进齐市的只有步骑卫队各1个营。再狠，你能干得过关东军一个旅团？别说占领齐市了，想跑出去都难如登天。
可再难也得出去。
中国版的“越狱”开始上演了。需要指出的是，这部大片的制片人、监制、策划、剧本、导演、主演都是老马一个人。
强人就是不一样啊。
“越狱”是个很复杂的技术活，包括事前准备、方式路线等多项环节，疏忽其中任何一项，都不可能取得成功。
说起准备工作，当然很多，但我以为，最重要的还是得想一想，出“狱”后怎么办。
有的人跑是跑出去了，结果一文不名，连吃个饭都没钱，那你老人家还不如继续在牢里乖乖待着——这里起码还有人管饭。
所以，钱是重要的，相当重要。
按照靠山吃山、靠水吃水的原理，身为“黑龙江省主席”的马占山理所当然地瞄上了日本人的口袋。
没错，他准备搞“贪污”了。
马占山一向是大手笔，这回他要发扬要么不“贪”，要“贪”就“大贪”的精神，做省主席没几天，一家伙就“贪”了800万。
记得华仔曾在港片中出演了一个“五亿探长雷诺”，那人是真正的大贪，小钞票是根本不放在眼里的，要贪起来都一扎一扎、一箱一箱的。
老马可谓直追其后，不让斯人。
不过大帅，你是好样的，我们支持你。
日本人的钱，不贪白不贪。少贪了，你都不好意思出去跟别人说。
当然了，像日本人这样一分钱都要掰成两分花的主，想贪他的钱并不容易。发现江省财政开支很大，花钱跟流水一样，关东军司令部坐不住了，便派人暗中调查，并放出风来，要马占山讲清楚这么多资金的详细用途。
总不能跟日本人实话实说，是准备拿去当军饷打你们的吧？
马占山直接去找齐齐哈尔特务机关长林义秀和铃木旅团旅团长铃木美通（陆大23期），跟这两个日军的实权人物当面鼓，对面锣，“讲清楚”。
他“伤心”地先说了一通自己的不易：这也要花钱，那也要花钱，结果花了700多万（还是没说实话），就有人出来说三道四，弄得自己晚上都睡不着觉，这工作没法干啊。
那意思无非就是：不要追着哥，哥使的这不是钱，纯粹是寂寞和委屈。
从一个日本特务的角度来说，林义秀虽然也不舍得马占山“乱花皇军的钱”，但他更怕把这个土匪省长给逼急了，反而弄得不可收拾。
他赶紧拍胸脯打包票，让马占山完全不用有什么顾虑，此事由他一力承担：“满洲国”新建，百废俱兴，花钱完全正常。别说700万，1000万也没什么了不起！
他还告诉马占山，不需要费劲跟那些背后闲言碎语的家伙解释什么，因为——
彪悍的人生不需要解释。
见林义秀这么豁得出去，铃木愣住了。
一般日本人的性格，内心都极为吝啬，公开场合却一个比一个更在意面子问题。
轮到铃木，这兄弟也索性装得很无所谓的样子，关照马占山其他不用多想，一定要注意身体，如果确实睡不着觉，可以找日本医生给看看（还找日本医生？！）
两个大佬发了话，一时间也没人再敢拿钱的事来找马占山麻烦了。
按照通常规律，“贪污”之后，不搞搞“腐化”似乎也有点对不起自己。
一直以来，林义秀和铃木其实从没放松过对马占山的监视。
江桥抗战对日军的震慑实在太大了。毕竟落魄的英雄那也是英雄，如果有一天让他东山再起就不好办了，所以这二人的任务之一，就是死死看住马占山。
不过有一天，他们突然接到密报，说马占山逛妓院去了，而且还不是一般的妓院，是满铁公所也就是日本人开的妓院。
报告的人绘声绘色，连马占山在妓院里怎么喝酒召妓打麻将，整日整夜乐不思蜀，都能说得有鼻子有眼——本来就是日资企业嘛，就差装一针孔了，还有什么打探不出来。
林义秀和铃木将信将疑，都觉得以马占山这样的英雄人物，尚不致如此堕落吧。
有什么不至于的，一连多少天，马占山以他的实际行动表明：老子就这么堕落了，怎么着吧？
别人问起来，他还有一个理由：自己空有一身本事，但现在不打仗，也用不上了，既然战场上用不着，那就只好到女人堆里去用了（“英雄无用武之地，特以醇酒妇人终志”）。
林义秀和铃木都放心了。如果说在这之前他们还有些疑心的话，在马占山摆出“英雄无用论”后，就全信了。
这话实在，所以是真话。
至于马占山拿着高薪不干活，只知道整天喝酒逛妓院，他们不仅不着急，还很高兴，因为这就意味着对马占山，可以睁一只眼闭一只眼了。
他们没料到，马占山说的话其实是一半真一半假，“英雄无用武之地”是真，“特以醇酒妇人终志”是假。
睁一只眼闭一只眼还不够，最好是让这俩小子把眼睛全给闭上，而要做到这一点，就要使另一个坏了，那就是“行贿”。
听说“太上皇”本庄繁生日到了，大小汉奸们都计划着要好好“孝敬”一下自己的主子。其中，马占山比谁都积极，反正是“公款”，不花白不花，于是划划两笔，提出钱来，买好礼物，亲自去送礼。
不是说日本军官一般是不收礼的吗？
那是指敌国之间。如果是在内部，日本人爱占小便宜的习性是一样的，军人政客皆是如此。
在准备正式“越狱”之前，马占山把所准备的生日贺礼摆在客厅里，然后把铃木请来“参观”。见到这些好东西，铃木自然啧啧称好，艳羡之色溢于言表。
马占山看在眼里，马上把他事先给铃木备好的礼物也拿出来，这套东东甚至比本庄繁的那套还要上档次，把个铃木愣给乐晕了。
趁这机会，马占山提出来，说自己作为一省之长，不能老待在机关里，这两天想到下面去巡视巡视，体察一下民情。
要在平时，铃木肯定要把眼睛瞪圆了，再翻个白眼珠：出去干吗，这里待着不是挺好（万一让你跑掉怎么办）？
可是人一高兴，就特别容易放松警惕。对十分“懂事”的马占山的这个提议，铃木竟然没有半点怀疑，当时就一口答应了。
All is ready except for the opportunity.
这股东风是从海伦、拜泉刮来的。从那里传来消息，当地部队似有“异动”，士兵可能有哗变迹象，而这些部队都是马占山所能控制的，如果不想动用武力的话，就需要他本人去做工作。
马占山跟包括日本顾问在内的一众人等都打好招呼：本来也想“外出巡视”，这次正好过去看看，以确保底下人不造“皇军”的反。
作为“一省主席”，能这么不辞劳苦、兢兢业业，除了感动，你还能再说什么？
自然，“异动”、“哗变”云云都是马占山一手策划的，为的是给他这个主演提供表演的更大空间。
“越狱”进入了倒计时。
民国二十一年（1932年）3月31日。night.
在此前已将“贪”到的部分款子秘密送至黑河后，“胆大包天”的马占山一不做二不休，索性把江省的金库搬了个空，刚收上来的盐税1400万、其他款项1000万，总计2400万金票悉数提出，用8辆车和300匹驮马悄悄拉走——这已经不是贪污，而是明目张胆的抢劫了，能在日本人眼皮子底下做到这一点，不谓空前，也算绝后。
4月1日。
马占山找到林义秀，托他把贺礼转交本庄繁，同时也把想“外出巡视”的想法告诉了他。
林义秀听说“巡视”的事连铃木都答应了，而且此行还担负着解决部队稳定的特殊任务，自然没理由表示反对。
最后一个障碍得以消除。
4月2日。晨。
马占山和步骑兵各1营出走齐市。
路上的每一天，他都会向林秀义自觉地报告“行程”，让后者以为他始终在齐市周围溜达着呢。
5天后，他就“溜达”到老家黑河去了。
至此，“越狱”计划宣告取得圆满成功。
到黑河后，马占山给江省的“同僚”们发了个电报。电报中，他用很遗憾的口吻表示，自己在路上突然得了感冒（这种病在东北应该是很常见的，可经常作为上班迟到早退以及无故旷工的必备事由），必须抓紧时间，好好休息，所以这就跑到黑河来疗养了。
至于什么时候好，什么时候回来，老马的描述很富有诗情画意：俟春暖开江，再行回省。
快了，等明年春暖花开江水解冻再说吧。
这就叫幽默。
再笨的人都能看出马占山的电报不正常。得个感冒，就要到那么远的黑河去疗养，那我发个烧，是不是就得到莫斯科待着了。明年开春？你把这里当旅馆了吧。
明摆着是学关云长挂印而去了。
不一样的是，关二爷走的时候，封金存印，除了保护两个嫂嫂出走，什么都没拿，什么也没带；马老爷呢，能拿得动的，能扛得走的，一个都没剩，不仅一下子搬空了江省金库，连关防印信都没舍得留，一并“捎”走了（谁知道这个以后有没有用呢，不捎白不捎）。
铃木和林义秀又气又急，赶紧向本庄繁报告这一“意外”的紧急情况。
本庄繁也着了慌，第一时间亲自给马占山发来电文，变着法想哄他回来。
马占山曾经要求本庄繁实践当初“不驻军”的诺言，命令齐市的铃木旅团撤出江省。
本庄繁当着面满口答应，一转身就抛到了九霄云外。
现在他倒是想起来了，不过他把责任都推到铃木身上：我早就让铃木撤兵了，谁知道这小子一直拖着不走，真不像话，我已经狠狠地骂了他一顿（“殊属非是，已令申斥”）。
接着他又对着马占山玩起了忽悠：你快回来吧。这次真不骗你，等你回来，我一准让铃木撤兵（“望回省，定撤退”）。
看着这份电报，马占山仿佛看到了本庄繁那张很傻很天真的脸，他笑了。
都什么时候了，还演这种把戏，很好玩是不是？
老马当即也复一电，拆穿了对方的西洋镜。
他说本庄繁有三个行为最恶劣：
其一，先答应撤兵，后来又不肯了，是“毫无信义”。
其二，犯了错就拿别人顶杠，自己装老好人，太“丑”。
其三，说来说去，还不是想把我诱回去活逮，真是“狼子野心”。
最后他毫不客气地扇了这位关东军司令官一巴掌——
“誓必灭此丑类，复我疆土”！
在打嘴仗这方面，被骂为“丑类”的本庄繁，向来不是老马的对手。
等到李顿调查团来到他们在东北的最后一站——哈尔滨，中国顾问顾维钧提出，既然到了黑龙江，不应该不会晤一下对伪满问题很有发言权的马占山。这是一个活证人。
这些日子处下来，李顿团长对这个见识广博、举止得体的中国人已经是信任有加，对他的话也基本上是言听计从，因此老顾一提议，他马上就表示赞成。
“抵抗将军”马占山的名字，此前通过江桥一战的哄传，调查团成员没一个感到陌生，大家对见一下这个重要人物也都认为绝对有必要。但问题是怎么个见法，或者换个说法就是需不需要征得伪满的同意。
调查团内部就为此议论开了。
顾维钧站在中国的立场，当然希望能够绕开伪满，直接会晤马占山。这一提议除获得李顿的首肯外，来自美国的麦考益少将也予以支持。
但法国的克劳德中将提出不同意见，他要求大家注意一个事实，那就是此时距离马占山反出朝歌城已经一个多月了，这个马占山已不再是伪满的重臣，而是“叛将”！
据说他现在还在策划进攻哈尔滨，如果调查团招呼都不打一声
