Any Chinese will feel sad when mentioning the large number of traitors and puppet soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War. There is no doubt that this is a shame for the entire nation, but everything has a profound reason. Why are traitors everywhere in the Republic of China? There is one important reason
The reason is fear, deep-rooted fear!
It is precisely because of fear that a considerable number of people are willing to surrender to the enemy and betray their ancestors. This fear was cultivated from the Opium War. Repeated defeats and constant cession of territory and compensation have almost crushed the last self-confidence of the Chinese people.
Now, the whole nation has become foreign.
Yamagata Aritomo concocted the strategy of invading China. He thought about these things very clearly. Even if it was inappropriate to provoke trouble this time and undermined Japan's strategic deployment, the Japanese could not retreat and had to subdue China.
Establish an image of Japan as invincible.
Especially this time, 300 Japanese soldiers were wiped out. If this spread, it would definitely be a slap in the face. The Japanese had to take action, otherwise their prestige would be lost and they would be able to run rampant on Chinese soil.
"Prime Minister, you have to shoulder your responsibilities!" After Shanxian finished speaking, he said nothing. At this time, the old guy was ready to abandon his son and let the army start making trouble. After Japan got the benefits,
When the great powers were dissatisfied, they threw Okuma Shigenobu out and asked him to resign and take responsibility for his crimes.
Okuma Shigenobu obtained the imperial edict here in Yamaxian County, and prepared it like a pug. First of all, he denied that a large number of Japanese soldiers died in Northeast China. Instead, he simply stated that a group of Japanese expatriates had disappeared for no reason, and asked Fengtian to cooperate.
If the missing nationals are found, it means that Japanese people were indeed killed. The Empire of Japan will definitely take strong actions to protect its nationals.
After his statement was issued, a large number of Japanese diplomats responded and put pressure on Duan Qirui of Beiyang and Zhang Zuolin of Fengtian. Japan was likely to use force if the matter was not resolved.
The pressure on Lao Zhang's shoulders suddenly increased. Fortunately, Lao Zhang was also prepared. You can't just say what the Japanese say. You have to provide the missing information about the expatriates, and Fengtian has to check it carefully.
Of course, this was just an excuse to deal with Japan. Lao Zhang also contacted the United States, Britain, Russia and other countries through his connections, and sent some photos to them to prove the fact that Japan was conducting military operations in Northeast China, and asked the powers to put pressure on him.
In addition, Lao Zhang also sent a secret message to the Beiyang government, asking the Duan Qirui government to come forward to maintain the stability of the Northeast. We cannot sit back and watch the three provinces rot.
Lao Zhang actively used various relationships. The purpose of all this was to delay time and strive to settle Jilin and Heilongjiang as soon as possible. Only with a stable rear can he continue to deal with the Japanese.
At this time, the situation in Jilin had begun to improve. Sun Anhu led the army and quickly occupied the provincial capital Jilin. Zhang Tinglan also sent troops to control the railway strategic points between Changchun and Harbin. Basically, the overall situation was guaranteed, and all that was left was to continue to suppress the bandits.
, restore local security.
In addition, the situation in Heilongjiang has also reversed. Although Xu Lanzhou is the most powerful in Heilongjiang, he cannot dominate the sky with one hand. Among them are the commander of the cavalry brigade Yingshun, the commander of the first brigade of the Heilongjiang 1st Division Ba Ying'e, and the provincial governor Bi Guifangdu.
There is no weak force.
These three people were all Manchus. According to Zhang Tinglan's idea, they should all be eradicated to avoid the trouble. However, Zhang Zuolin believed that the current situation was tense and it was not appropriate to make trouble, so he persuaded the three people, especially Yingshun knew that Feng Jun and
After the Russians still had contact, they became even less willing to cooperate with Xu Lanzhou.
Lao Zhang promised to guarantee their status, and all three people stood up against Xu Lanzhou. At this time, Wu Junsheng defeated Xu Lanzhou's troops. Then with the cooperation of Bi Guifang, Wu Junsheng successfully entered Qiqihar.
"The overall situation in Heilongjiang has been decided!" Zhang Zuoxiang received Wu Junsheng's telegram, and a smile appeared on his face. No matter how much trouble he went through, at least Fengjun extended his tentacles to Heilongjiang, and Jilin was not lost. This deal was still profitable.
, and still made a lot of money!
"Dad, this is indeed the case, but we still have to pass the last hurdle!"
"You mean the Japanese, right?"
"Yes, if the Japanese continue to exert strong pressure on Fengtian, we will not have time to integrate the three provinces. We will even have to transfer the army back to Fengtian to deal with the Japanese. The two provinces will only gain and lose."
"Little Japan suffered a big loss this time. Three hundred people died. They lost face and dignity. It's strange that they would give up. I'd like to tell you the truth to Dad. Do you have any other preparations? Otherwise
It’s hard to get through this.”
"Dad, to be honest, when you were transferred to Dongbian Road, didn't I come up with an idea to fortify defenses along the Yalu River? I have already sent a group of troops responsible for land reclamation. After cleaning up, I found out
Twenty to thirty thousand illegal immigrants from North Korea.”
Zhang Zuoxiang's brain obviously didn't move fast enough. He couldn't adapt to Zhang Tinglan's jumping mode. What does these Koreans have to do with dealing with Japan?
Zhang Tinglan also saw his father's doubts, so he explained: "Dad, do you know about the North Korean volunteer movement a few years ago?"
"Of course I know. It was in the last few years of the late Qing Dynasty that Japan wanted to annex North Korea. It turned out that the North Korean army was disbanded and the soldiers stood up against the Japanese. I heard that hundreds of thousands of people participated, but they were suppressed by Japan.
Yes, why are you bringing this up?"
"While cleaning up, I discovered a group of North Korean volunteers. They could no longer survive in the country, so they fled across the Yalu River and fled to China to settle down. Their number was no less than a thousand."
Zhang Zuoxiang is not stupid, and he quickly figured out what Zhang Tinglan meant, and said hurriedly: "I am sorry, are you planning to use the method of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and use these Koreans to cause trouble to attract the energy of the Japanese?"
"Yes, although I hate these Korean stickmen, I have to admit that they are still very rebellious. The Koreans who fled to China were not willing to fail, and even organized themselves in the hope of restoring the country. And I also heard that they were
The death of Ri Xi, the emperor of Korea who was imprisoned in Japan, can be used as an excuse to cause trouble for the Koreans."
"I have to say, if you do this, you will shoot yourself in the foot. If you want the Koreans to cause trouble, we have to provide them with weapons and funds. As long as they attack them, the Japanese will definitely know that these people are Edomites.
The three provinces serve as bases, doesn’t this create an excuse for them?”
Zhang Zuoxiang did ask about the key point. The strength gap between Fengtian and Japan is too big. If the Japanese get hold of Fengtian, it will not be a way to contain Japan's energy, but it will become a case of playing with fire. The consequences will be very serious.
Therefore, Zhang Zuoxiang was inevitably worried.
The last time a Japanese military column was robbed by Feng's army, it almost caused big trouble. Fortunately, Zhang Tinglan detonated domestic conflicts in Japan, and the rice riots broke out, which made the Japanese government anxious and gave Fengtian a chance to breathe.
Of course Zhang Zuoxiang was very aware of this matter, and he also knew the danger involved. If there was even a slight mistake in the calculation, it would cause great disaster to the Feng army, so he had to be cautious.
"Dad, don't worry. I won't stupidly let the Koreans use our place as a base and then attack the Japanese. Isn't this going to get us into trouble? We have to use an asymmetrical way to attack the Japanese in one fell swoop.
Shake the foundation of their rule in North Korea."
In fact, Zhang Tinglan thought about it carefully and expected that the Koreans would confront the Japanese with open swords and guns. It would have no effect at all, even if they were allowed to engage in guerrilla warfare. The peninsula's narrow terrain and the Koreans' heads like elmwood would not work.
, determined that they could not engage in guerrilla warfare at all.
Moreover, it would take a long time for guerrilla warfare to develop. It would not be enough to attract the attention of the Japanese, nor would it have a sensational effect. The Japanese would still continue to put pressure on Fengtian. After thinking about it, Zhang Tinglan came up with the idea.
The 911 incident in later generations.
The shocking attack by terrorists completely reversed the international strategy of a superpower. Its influence is even comparable to that of the Pearl Harbor incident. This kind of terrorist attack has the smallest cost, the largest benefit, the best shock effect, and can greatly affect people's health.
Shake the Japanese rule over Korea.
And because there were only a few people involved, it was difficult to seize Fengtian's handle. Therefore, Zhang Tinglan locked in this cheap method to give the Japanese a fatal blow.
As early as Zhang Tinglan knew that the Japanese had intervened, he had already sent Feng Yongshuang to secretly select the attackers. This operation must be carefully planned without any omissions, and the maximum attack effect must be ensured. It is indeed not a simple matter.
Easy things.
After some screening, a Korean named Han Yongzhe was selected. He was originally a student in North Korea. His father died in the volunteer movement. He had a blood feud with the Japanese. The person he admired most was the assassin of Ito Hirobumi.
North Korean patriot An Jung-geun, he vowed to imitate An Jung-gen, use his own life to inflict maximum damage to the Japanese, and make his name a nightmare for the Japanese.
"Han Yongzhe, this is your new identity. As the son of a wealthy North Korean businessman, you will return to Seoul, nominally to purchase goods, invest in economy and trade, and use this as a cover to approach the Japanese Governor-General's Office and implement the action plan."
"Yes!" Han Yongzhe excitedly saluted Feng Yongshuang with a military salute, and then asked: "Sir, I need enough explosives and some leaflets to expose the crimes of the Japanese. They killed Emperor Gaozong.
, I want all Koreans to know this. After I die for the country, I hope that the Koreans can take action to jointly resist the Japanese aggression and regain the country!"
"Don't worry, we are well prepared. Your task now is to forget everything here, and at the same time temporarily forget the blood feud. You are a businessman and a successful investor."
Feng Yongshuang patted Han Yongzhe on the shoulder. As a Jianghu man, Feng Yongshuang still admired this kind of Jing Ke-style warrior, so he said: "I believe you will definitely be remembered by the Koreans. You are a true warrior!" (To be completed!)
