Chapter 260 259. The Northeast Changed Flags and Unified the Country

Changing the flag in the Northeast has been brewing for a long time. In fact, since Zhang Zuolin was killed in the bombing and Zhang Xueliang became the commander-in-chief of the security of the three provinces in the Northeast, the time for the Northeast to be introverted and change the flag has gradually matured. The biggest mistake of the Japanese warlords was that they wanted to prevent the Northeast from turning inward and destroy China's unification, but the methods they used forced the Northeast to turn inward and promote the unification of China.In particular, the bombing of Zhang Zuolin in Huanggutun was a great stimulus to the entire Feng clan.The Feng system has ruled the Northeast for 16 or 17 years, and it is deeply rooted. Now the Japanese warlords have killed their supreme leader, so the United Japan is the enemy of the Feng faction. There is only one way to follow the justice, and that is to submit to the national government.

On July 1, 2017, Zhang Xueliang, as the commander-in-chief of the three eastern provinces, called the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army in Beiping, expressing his sincerity in wishing for peace and not hindering reunification. At the same time, he sent envoy Xing Shilian to Beiping from Haidao. See Jiang Zhongzheng, stated that he is willing to lose money and surrender, and please discuss a unified method.Jiang therefore assigned Fang Benren and Xing Shilian to Fengtian for specific negotiations.When Fang, Xing and others arrived in Shenyang, they had a secret exchange of opinions with Zhang Xueliang. At that time, due to the surveillance of the Japanese Kwantung Army, after several negotiations, it was agreed that the three eastern provinces and Rehe would unanimously change flags on July 22, 17. ruling power.Zhang Xueliang was appointed chairman of the Northeast Political Affairs Committee, and Rehe was placed in the Northeast.Unexpectedly, on July 18th and 19th, the Japanese Consul General Hayashi Jiujiro of Fengtian tried his best to stop it. Zhang Xueliang was forced by the objective situation and had to temporarily suspend it.

From August to September, Japan continued to increase pressure, threats and temptations. Although Zhang Xueliang was young and inexperienced, he remained unmoved. At the beginning of October, the Nanjing Nationalist Government announced that Zhang Xueliang was a member of the national government. Jiang also sent a confidential message to Zhang, which said: "Fengtian Commander-in-Chief Hanqing Brother Xun Jian: Secret, yesterday's telegram understands that since the committee has been announced, we should take this opportunity to join us at the same time." Changed the flag, announced the inauguration, and took the 17th Double Tenth Day as the anniversary of the brother's reunification. I hope it will be restored. Brother Zhongzheng. Good." But at that time, the pressure on Japan had not yet eased, and the interior of the Northeast was also unstable. Zhang Xueliang changed his flag intentionally but was powerless. .

Until December 29, 2017, Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Zuoxiang, Wan Fulin, etc. officially implemented the change of flags and energized to obey the national government.The National Government also declared Zhang Xueliang as the Commander-in-Chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense, Zhang Zuoxiang and Wan Fulin as the Deputy Commanders of the Northeast Frontier Defense, and established the provincial governments of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang.Zhai Wenxuan is the master of worship, Zhang Zuoxiang is the master of auspiciousness, Chang Yinhuai is the master of blackness, and Tang Yulin is the master of heat.

Beijing was renamed Beiping, and Beiping and Tianjin were designated as special city.
