The Renqiu Oilfield has entered the historical stage ahead of time, which is a huge variable for North China, China and the entire world. For Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army, this is a double-edged sword. If it is handled well and fully utilized, then The strength of the 29th Army is just around the corner, but if it is not handled well, it may cause the 29th Army to withdraw from the stage of history early. For the Japanese, it is like a bad wolf suddenly seeing a fat sheep. Is it possible to silence it? , The Japanese economy suffered heavy losses in the global economic depression from 1929 to 1932. If you look through Japanese newspapers during that period, you can find news about "so-and-so's suicide" almost every day. Factories closed down, workers lost their jobs, and people Life is difficult, but in sharp contrast, military industry enterprises are unprecedentedly prosperous, which makes Japan's economic model begin to change to a wartime structure. However, Japan is a resource-scarce country, and the abnormal development of military industry requires a large amount of steel and coal. and oil, all of which must rely on imports. The "September 18th Incident" was actually planned by a few fanatics in the Kwantung Army, and the reason why the Japanese government supported it was because it took a fancy to the resources of the three northeastern provinces. Now, Ren Qiu appears One can imagine what kind of temptation this is for the Japanese who are extremely eager for oil fields. At present, China does not have its own oil industry. For the Republic of China government and Chiang Kai-shek, having oil means having oil. With the fuel, you can develop the navy, air force, and tank forces you dreamed of. This is why Chiang Kai-shek was willing to go out of his way to mobilize military police units to join the military brigade. As for Ren Qiu, he was determined to win.
History has entered a new track, and Ouyang Yun is getting further and further away from the original time and space. When he and Liang Dawei were having dinner at a small restaurant in Guangzhou Railway Station, they were stunned when they heard the news of Yidong Autonomy and said for a long time. : "The Japanese took action." Historically, Yin Rugeng declared autonomy on November 25, but now it is nearly five months earlier.
Liang Dawei said: "There is no doubt that the Japanese are behind the scenes. This Yin Rugeng, relying on his relationship with his Japanese wife, has already taken the initiative to come to his door and become a lackey of the Japanese."
"This kind of person deserves to be killed." Ouyang Yun said, putting down his chopsticks.
Liang Dawei saw that he had murderous intentions and said with a smile: "The anti-Japanese heroes want to return to their old profession again."
Ouyang Yun saw him making fun of him and responded with a smile: "Everyone can punish traitors. If Brother Liang is interested, I will leave it to you."
"Chief Zeng and I were sent to Tianjin to form an anti-trafficking team, but..." Liang Dawei didn't finish his words, but Ouyang Yun knew what he was going to say. If he hadn't gotten involved, they would have formed one. In the future, the "Anti-Japanese Anti-Japanese Anti-Corruption Group" will be active in the Pingjin area. Gu Lianyun's "betrayal" is a blow to Ouyang Yun. What he is most worried about now is that she has taken control of Hu Tong, and then uses Fox Tong to kidnap the special service brigade away. , the intelligence agency must be established, Liang Dawei may be a good candidate. He rescued himself from the gunpoint and seriously violated the order of Lixingshe. Now he has been forced to board his own ship. He said: "Brother Liang , as long as you are sincere about fighting the Japanese and killing the traitors, I don’t think the camp is important. After all, we are all Chinese. Even if there are any conflicts between us, they can be resolved behind closed doors, what do you think?"
Liang Dawei had not yet thought about his decision to go or stay. He looked at his watch and said: "The ticket check will be in twenty minutes. Let's go in."
He paid the bill, the two of them bought some fruits and other things, and then walked to the train station.
At noon, Chu Tiange finally met Zhang Qingyu at the headquarters of the first column of Yidong Special Police Column in Duolun County. It was impossible, but I heard that the liaison personnel sent by Commander Yu were here, so I chose to receive them immediately.
As soon as the two met, Zhang Qingyu recognized him and said, "You are Chu Tiange."
Chu Tiange knew that he must have seen his image in the newspaper, so he smiled and nodded in recognition. After the two parties received a secret signal, Chu Tiange revealed the purpose of his trip and asked him to take time to go to Renqiu. One is to get back the soldiers' pay and equipment, and the other is to see if they can help the cadet brigade bring in new soldiers.
Zhang Qingyu was anxious about the future of the army. He was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly agreed. Then he took Chu Tiange down to inspect the army. Most of the soldiers in the special police column were former Northeast Army soldiers. They had a strong anti-Japanese sentiment. Yidong The rampant Japanese and puppet troops in the area had long aroused their dissatisfaction. In addition, Yin Rugeng declared autonomy at this time. Many people thought that they would become puppet troops and traitors. The military morale was shaken, which gave Zhang Qingyu a headache. Chu Tiange acted as Yu The liaison personnel sent by Xuezhong are equivalent to the role of "special correspondents" and can help calm the currently wavering military morale.
When Chu Tiange followed Zhang Qingyu eastward along Duolun to inspect a column, an interesting thing happened in Xianghe County, not far east of Peiping.
That day was June 29. More than 1,000 people dressed as Chinese farmers, led by six Japanese, held a demonstration in Xianghe County, distributing leaflets opposing Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship and celebrating autonomy, and occupied the county government at noon. He scolded the county government officials as Chiang Kai-shek's lackeys and wanted to arrest them for a public trial. Chang Xiang, the head of Xianghe County, had no choice but to ask the Public Security Bureau for help and asked them to send troops to suppress him. However, Fang Tianlin, the captain of the county security brigade, was already there. A treaty in favor of Yidong's autonomy was signed, but the security brigade refused to carry out the orders of the County Public Security Bureau. The public security director had no choice but to ask for help from Zhang Zizhong's department. Zhang Zizhong wanted to send a battalion of soldiers to stabilize the situation, but was blocked by North China Hoarders. The garrison used the excuse that Chinese troops were prohibited from entering the armistice zone to obstruct it.
Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see at a glance that the incident in Xianghe was behind the scenes of the Japanese. The reason why they came to do this was purely to make it easier for Yin Rugeng to fully control Yidong. The head of Xianghe County was expected to be a famous "family member". "Chiang elements", the day after Yin Rugeng declared Yidong autonomy, he organized a meeting of celebrities and people of insight in the county to denounce Yin Rugeng's move as a traitorous act. The Japanese were afraid that Chang expected this move to cause other counties to follow suit. So I decided to strike first and kill one person as a warning to others, so I planned the farce above.
Another incident happened on the same day. Lao Jiang met Qin Dechun at the Meilu Villa in Guling, Lushan. Lao Jiang originally invited Song Zheyuan to meet him, but Lao Song was afraid of the Hongmen Banquet, so he excused himself because of his health condition, so Qin Dechun went there instead.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek summoned Song Zheyuan for three reasons. The first was the situation in North China. He hoped that the 29th Army could take the overall situation into consideration and not be fooled by villains and Japanese and declare autonomy; the second was to assign the Xuebing Division (Brigade) to the 51st Army.
To explain the matter, of course, both the parties involved and outsiders knew that it was a lie to assign the military training division to the 51st Army, and that it was true that Renqiu was placed in the hands of the National Government. Finally, it elaborated on the importance and importance of the central government's legal currency reform.
determination,
The reasons why the Republic of China government wanted to carry out legal currency reform were firstly due to the influence of the international financial situation. The economic crisis that broke out in the capitalist world from 1929 to 1932 caused major capitalist countries such as Britain, Germany, Japan, and Canada to abandon the gold standard.
In an attempt to pass on the crisis to the silver-using countries, the United States responded by abandoning the gold standard in March 1933, devaluing the U.S. dollar, and unilaterally violated the "...
"Silver Agreement", purchased silver at high prices in the international market, and attempted to pass on the economic crisis of the United States to the Chinese people by "raising the price of silver, which means increasing the purchasing power of 40 million people." This directly led to the price of silver in the international market
Because before 1935, silver and silver dollars were general commodities in the international market and currency in China. The rise in silver prices in the international market caused a large outflow of Chinese silver, which directly caused the following serious consequences: first, domestic people panic;
The third reason is that China's foreign trade has seriously entered the market; the third reason is that money is tight, the market turnover is not good, and banks, banks, and firms have closed down one after another; the fourth reason is that there is insufficient currency and falling prices, which directly triggered this year's silver trend, forcing the National Government to make changes.
In response, we decided to reform the currency system in order to cut off the serious impact of the rise and fall of silver prices in the international market on China's financial market.
Second, in order to prepare for Japan's strategic need to expand its aggression against China, after the September 18th Incident in 1931, the Nanjing National Government relied blindly on the League of Nations and fantasized about resolving the Northeastern issue through international mediation through compromise. However, in the face of Japan's disregard for
The norms of international law and the aggressive trend (Japan withdrew from the League of Nations and the Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Arms, making its national defense status more isolated and economically and politically subject to international containment. At that time, the countries participating in the containment included Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.
), after all, did not want the Japanese to annex the entire China. Under this situation, Qian Changzhao (then deputy minister of education of the National Government) proposed to Chiang Kai-shek the organization of a national defense design committee. Qian’s original intention was positive. He believed:
Sooner or later, Japan will invade China on a large scale. In order to prepare for the war as early as possible and take precautions, he proposed to organize a specialized agency and hire a group of scientific and technological experts and professors to engage in investigations, research and formulation of related plans in relation to national defense construction. In the National Defense Design Committee
Among the first batch of 39 committee members, there were representatives of bankers and financiers such as Xu Xinliu and Wu Dingchang. It was precisely because of the activity planning of these bankers and financiers that the National Government included currency reform issues in the "national defense design"
,
Third, with the success of the "Abolition of the Two Reforms to the Yuan", the Nationalist Government acquired the technology to reform legal currency. An important measure of the so-called "Abolition of the Two Reforms to the Yuan" was to stipulate that from April 6 of that year, the collection of all public and private funds would be
For payments, transactions and contract bills, only silver dollars were used, and silver taels were discontinued. The smooth implementation of the "abolition of two to yuan" realized the nationwide circulation of silver dollars with uniform shape, weight and fineness, greatly simplifying the types of currency and improving China's currency
The chaotic state of the market has also cleared the obstacles to currency disorder for China to abolish coins and further implement legal currency reform.
Fourth, the reform of the famous government has been appreciated by major Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States, and has received their technical support. Among them, representatives include the United States's Gammel and Young, and the United Kingdom's Lizzie Ross. expert,
Chiang Kai-shek's original plan was to announce currency reform later this year. However, due to Japan's aggressiveness in North China and mature technology, he decided to push forward the reform plan in advance.
Chiang Kai-shek's life style was quite simple. He only entertained Qin Dechun with four dishes and one soup. During the dinner, Chiang Kai-shek exchanged his views with Qin Dechun on the current domestic and international situation. In the end, he said with sincerity and sincerity: The current national defense construction has not been completed and cannot be comprehensive. To fight against Japan, we need to gain time. The longer we maintain it, the greater our contribution to the country. We must bear the humiliation and bear the burden, but we can only inform Commander Song about this matter and not tell others; oil is a strategic resource and is related to the lifeblood of the country. If the country wants to develop, the army must If you want to be strong, you can only play its due role by firmly controlling it in the hands of the central government. Please tell this to Commander Song. I hope that the generals of the 29th Army will put the overall situation first and understand the central government's painstaking efforts; French currency Reform is a major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood. As a member of the national army, the 29th Army should abide by the central government's decision and make every effort to implement this reform, so as to cut off Japan's way of plundering North China's wealth and destroying North China's economy.
Historically, it was because of Chiang Kai-shek's heartfelt words that Qin Dechun changed his view of him, and then he was determined to follow the "Centre" until the troops retreated from Taiwan. However, perhaps it was because of the appearance of Ouyang Yun, or because of Ren Qiu Shiyou was discovered in advance and was obstructing him. His perception of Chiang Kai-shek's words was completely different. Therefore, he was not moved to the ground and pledged allegiance to the death as described in the historical script. Instead, he took the opportunity to propose that the 29th Army Since it is a member of the national army and the central government recognizes its status in North China, it should completely trust the 29th Army and completely hand over Hebei to the 29th Army. It is implicitly proposed that the central government can strengthen the 29th Army's armaments and make it It can maintain the stability of North China and still hand over the training division to the 29th Army.
Chiang Kai-shek was very unhappy when he saw that Qin Dechun was so ignorant. However, as a leader, he was not as knowledgeable as Qin Dechun, so he proposed that the central government could give the 29th Army considerable military resources to subsidize the loss of the student division, but the student division must Transferred to the establishment of the 51st Army,
Qin Dechun did not dare to quarrel with Chiang Kai-shek in person, so he could only say that he could not make the decision on this matter, and had to go back to ask Song Zheyuan and other generals of the 29th Army to make decisions. However, when he returned, he would try his best to explain the Chairman's good intentions. He hoped that the committee members Don't worry, the generals of the 29th Army will definitely live up to the central government's expectations and will be able to firmly control North China in the hands of the Chinese.
What he said was so cunning that Chiang Kai-shek knew it was the truth, so he had no choice but to treat him well and then his lover politely sent him back to Peking.
