During the Republic of China, in the rural areas of northern Jiangsu, almost all villages had walls made of rammed earth. The locals called the walls Weizi. The main reason for this was because of the fierce banditry. In order to prevent bandits from robbing, villagers built walls and purchased firearms to protect themselves.
However, there were too many bandits, and the small Weizi could not withstand the attacks of the bandits and were often looted. Later, farmers were forced to live in large Weizi according to factors such as surname, clan, etc. - also known locally as Ji.
This is the origin of the fact that there are many place names with the word "婜" and the word "ji" in northern Jiangsu. It does not mean that the name of the market is a commercial market.
Speaking of banditry in northern Jiangsu, it is different from the thieves in Shandong, the beards in Northeast China, and the swordsmen in Henan. Most of the thieves in Shandong, the beards in Northeast China, and the swordsmen in Henan are professional bandits, gathering in the mountains and forests, and some are even old people.
They have been bandits for generations. Since Northern Jiangsu is a large plain, it does not have the conditions for bandits to set up camp and hereditary succession. In addition, Northern Jiangsu has been a land of plenty since ancient times, and it is a key area for rulers to rule, with boat travel and convenient transportation.
, as long as there is no war, there will be no basis for bandits to survive.
In the early years of the Republic of China, when the dynasty was changing, the number of bandits in the rural areas of northern Jiangsu began to increase. At first, the bandits were impoverished farmers who had no way to survive, and their initial method was to kidnap and extort people in their own village and nearby villages. Gradually, some
The local ruffians actually saw being a bandit as a good way to make a fortune, and the number of bandits increased. Especially during the warlord period, there were so many bandits that ordinary people had to build polders to protect themselves. During the Northern Expedition, ***
The Communists launched a riot, and the Communist Party also launched a riot. The warlords suppressed the riot on a large scale, and blood flowed in rivers. When the Northern Expedition ended, the Communist Party consolidated its rule in northern Jiangsu and began to suppress the bandits. In this way, the bandits transformed into
They formed security groups in villages and townships, and gradually merged with gang organizations with a mafia nature organized by local tyrants and evil gentry. They were human beings during the day and ghosts at night. Robbery of other villages and towns was their public occupation. Later, they may have been beaten back and forth.
Frustrated, these guys simply drew up territory, collected protection fees, and slowly took control of the township power. The National Government in the city turned a blind eye and pretended not to know as long as they were not Communists. Northern Jiangsu area
This formed an unprecedented and peculiar political structure - the city was ruled by the Communist Party, and outside the city was ruled by the local evil forces.
Another characteristic of northern Jiangsu is that it has developed transportation. Huaibei salt accounts for more than 32% of the national salt production. During the Beiyang Warlord period, the salt tax was as high as 20 million taels to 30 million taels of silver. In order to transport and sell Huaibei salt,
In addition, it is close to Shanghai. During the Republic of China, the Beiyang Government and the Nationalist Government dredged the Salt River and other salt-carrying channels on a large scale and built highways in the north of the Yangtze River. As a result, the northern Jiangsu area formed a supporting transportation network of national highways, provincial highways, and county roads.
net.
The national highways include the Haizheng Line from Lianyungang Xugou to Zhengzhou, the Jinglu Line from Nanjing to Jinan cross the territory, and the provincial highways include the Zhenshu Line from Zhenjiang to Shuyang, the Tongyu Line from Nantong to Ganyu, and the Huaiyin to Guanyun
The Huaichen Line in Chenjiagang, the Pipi Line from Siyang to Pizhou, the Guayu Line from Guazhou to Shandong Yutai, the Yangqing Line with the reconstruction of the canal embankment from Yangzhou to Qingjiangpu, etc. County roads are accessible from all counties.
Cars. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there was already one public automobile transportation company and more than a dozen private long-distance automobile transportation companies in northern Jiangsu. All of these were abruptly stopped because of the Anti-Japanese War.
After the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army captured almost all important towns in northern Jiangsu and controlled the transportation lines in northern Jiangsu. As Han Deqin led the provincial government and the deputy headquarters of the Sulu Theater to withdraw from Xinghua, northern Jiangsu was basically in a state of fall.
The local security groups in the countryside were divided. Some became anti-Japanese guerrillas, some were incorporated into Han Deqin's security forces, and some became puppet troops.
The Wang Xuwu Shuyang County Standing Brigade who killed Tang Shuhong was a local security team composed of bandits and local tyrants and evil gentry. At this moment, they accepted Han Deqin's reorganization and became a local armed force under the banner of anti-Japanese.
Liu Yimin did not expect that instead of waiting for Han Deqin to hand over the murderer, he instead waited for a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek ordering the instructors to move south and return to Shandong.
There were two telegrams in total, one from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and one from Luo Ronghuan. Needless to say, Chiang Kai-shek used a two-pronged approach, not only sending the telegram to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, but also transmitting it through the Communications and Liaison Group of the Resident Instructors.
Chiang Kai-shek was very rude in his telegram. In half-literate words, he reprimanded Liu Yimin for not respecting military orders, leaving the defense zone without permission, and headed for northern Jiangsu and northeastern Anhui. The last time he drove to northern Jiangsu was to lure the enemy south, and he was still kind.
But this time, after luring the enemy south, he stayed there for a long time and recently marched to northern Jiangsu. Are you fighting the Japanese or seizing the territory? Is Commander Liu a civilian or a ***? Do you still abide by the provisions of the Military Commission's war zone division?
Chiang Kai-shek also said in the telegram that due to Liu Yimin's wanton violation of military discipline and military orders, the Fifth War Zone and the Sulu War Zone reported to the Military Commission, demanding that Liu Yimin's troops be strictly ordered to withdraw to Shandong. Previously, Gao Jingting, commander of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, had disrespected military orders and was approved by the Military Commission
The New Fourth Army carried out shootings. Today, the head of the Eighth Route Army's North Jiangsu Detachment, Tang Shuhong, was executed for instigating a grain resistance. Couldn't Commander Liu learn some lessons from this?
Chiang Kai-shek satirized Liu Yimin. Shandong had concentrated a large number of elite troops of the Japanese North China Front. Liu Yimin was hailed by the Chinese as the invincible general of our country's anti-Japanese war. He also made a speech in the previous paragraph and vowed to eliminate the Japanese divisions' organic units within the year. The main force of the Japanese army in northern Jiangsu was
The brigade was established. Could it be that Master Liu wanted to fight to the Yangtze River and regain Shanghai?
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin immediately thought that Han Deqin was afraid of being blamed himself, so he played a trick before the bad guys complained. Just in time, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to restrict the development of our party and army, so he took out his bad breath on himself.
Liu Yimin didn't care much about other things. He was a time traveler and knew the process and results of the historical development of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. He never regarded Chiang Kai-shek's orders as important. However, Chiang Kai-shek warned Liu Yimin to learn from the lessons of Gao Jingting and Tang Shuhong's murder.
, which made Liu Yimin very angry. This is really confusing right and wrong. Killing the generals who fought bravely and then pouring dirty water on their heroic names is unbearable!
Liu Yimin immediately called Chiang Kai-shek, pointing out that the Eighth Route Army went south to northeastern Anhui and northern Jiangsu to resist Japan. Chairman Chiang had long said that there was no distinction between north and south, which meant that wherever there were Japanese invaders, there was a battlefield to fight against the Japanese. Besides, the Eighth Route Army taught divisions in the east.
The march into Shandong was ordered by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in order to save the Xuzhou battlefield. Shandong was also placed under the Sulu Theater. Whether the instructors were fighting in Shandong or in the Jiangsu-Anhui border area, they were all fighting in the Sulu Theater. How could they violate military discipline?
What about military orders? The Military Commission set up the Sulu War Zone and appointed Yu Xuezhong, Han Deqin, and Shen Honglie as chief and deputy commanders. This in itself was discrimination against the instructors of the Eighth Route Army who had made meritorious service in the fight against Japan. I would like to ask the people of the world, who can obey? If it were not for the purpose of uniting in the war of resistance.
, in order to obey Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's political and military orders, could Yu Xuezhong and Shen Honglie enter Shandong? The instructors were originally local troops of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Administrative Region Government without a penny of military pay. If it were not for the resistance against Japan and in order to cooperate with the main force of the central government, the instructors would have been
He returned to Shaanxi. The Chairman of the Generalissimo could not invite the Jiangsu-Anhui Border Region. Instructors without military pay launched an attack on the Japanese troops in the Jiangsu-Anhui Border Region. Han Deqin, who enjoyed full military pay from the National Government, preferred to stay in Xinghua. Who is good and who is bad?
Everyone in the world can see who is right or wrong. Why does Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek have such glazed eyes that he cannot distinguish between right and wrong? The Fifth War Zone has too much time to take care of itself. How can it have the spare time to pay attention to the Jiangsu and Anhui regions, and how can it falsely accuse the instructor? Only the deputy general manager of the Sulu War Zone
Commander Han Deqin's subordinates despicably trapped and killed Tang Shuhong, the leader of the Dongguanshu Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army's North Jiangsu Detachment, who was fighting the Japanese on the front line, creating friction and undermining unity in the fight against Japan. He was afraid that the Eighth Route Army's instructors would launch an attack to investigate, so they would confuse right and wrong, confuse right and wrong, and deceive Comrade Chiang Kai-shek.
Commander, falsely accused the Eighth Route Army instructor.
Liu Yimin went on to write: "Chairman Chiang is the commander-in-chief of all Chinese *** units, including the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. All Chinese *** units, including the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, are under the leadership of Chairman Chiang. As the commander-in-chief, the most important thing is to deal with justice.
Rewards and punishments were strict. Gao Jingting, the commander of the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army, had been reorganized since the Anti-Japanese War and went out to fight against the Japanese in the Dabie Mountains. When the Japanese troops were losing divisions and losing ground and were turning in one after another, he faced the Japanese attack and advanced towards central and eastern Anhui, setting up an ambush.
They blew up military vehicles and killed the little Japanese until they were pissed off. Such a hero was actually slandered by the Anhui Provincial Security Command as disrupting Anhui Province. I wonder if the anti-Japanese heroes who attacked the Japanese army disrupted Anhui Province and retreated into the Dabie Mountains in the face of the Japanese attack.
What crime should be committed? Is Gao Jingting guilty or the security headquarters that lost most of Anhui's territory? Unfortunately, Chairman Chiang had his own standards in mind and did not hold those who lost their teachers and land accountable. Instead, he believed the false accusations and, with a stroke of his pen,
Gao Jingting, who had meritorious service, was sentenced to execution. Where is the justice? Gao Jingting's unjust case has not been resolved, and Han Deqin's Ministry has created a new unjust case. Tang Shuhong was originally a primary school teacher in Tanggou, Shuyang. When the Anti-Japanese War army was rising, Tang Shuhong took off his long gown, formed an armed force, and fought to the death against the Japanese invaders.
The desperate fight should have been commended by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Government, but unexpectedly, he was lured to Tanggou by Han Deqin's Wang Xuwu Standing Brigade of Shuyang County to massacre him in the name of negotiating to resolve the anti-grain incident. As the commander-in-chief, Chairman Chiang not only
Instead of ordering Han Deqin to deal with the murderer and comfort his loyal soul, he instead listened to the slanderous words, accusing martyr Tang Shuhong of violating military discipline, instigating a grain resistance, and throwing dirt on the martyr's honorable name. How can anyone believe such a decisive decision?"
When he reached the point of irritation, Liu Yi's pen was flying, and he went on to say: "Since the Eighth Route Army instructors went north to fight against Japan, the achievements they have made are obvious to all the people in the country. When the Japanese invaders heard my name, they trembled like chaff. Han Deqin feared the enemy like a tiger and ignored the enemy.
The fertile wilderness in northern Jiangsu fell, and the enemy ignored it and preferred peace and prosperity. How dare you, the clown, have the intention to engage in friction and actually engage in friction. After robbing people of food and tarnishing the image of the Communist Party, you trapped and killed my instructor in the east of the northern Jiangsu detachment.
Tang Shuhong, the leader of the Suiguan Independent Regiment, is a clown who goes too far! How can the prestige of an instructor be despised by someone who creates friction? How can an anti-Japanese hero be booby-trapped and killed by a clown? Those who cause friction will die! Tens of thousands of elite instructors on behalf of the Eighth Route Army are paying tribute to
Chairman Chiang promised that if Han Deqin did not hand over the murderer Wang Xuwu within two days, Zhou Faqian would be the real culprit behind the scenes. The general would personally lead the elite troops to disarm the Shuyang County Standing Brigade, capture Wang Xuwu and Zhou Faqian alive, and conduct public trials and executions.
They also arrested the real culprits behind the scenes, removed garbage for the Communists, and comforted the martyrs. If the Koreans dared to resist, they would undermine the unity and resistance against Japan and create friction."
Perhaps because of his excessive anger, Liu Yimin used several clowns to describe Han Deqin. To be fair, this was unfair to Han Deqin. But how could Liu Yimin care so much when he was so angry?
After the telegram was sent, Liu Yimin immediately ordered Wang Laohu's No. 1 Special Operations Squadron, which was traveling with the cavalry, to go to Tanggou, arrest Wang Xuwu and Zhou Faqian, disarm the Shuyang County Standing Brigade, and escort Wang and Tuesday to half a town for public trial.
No one, not Chiang Kai-shek, Mao Zedong, or Zhu De, thought that Liu Yimin would dare to send such a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek.
Before Chiang Kai-shek's reply came, the telegram from the Chairman and the headquarters arrived. The Chairman's telegram said that I will not attack others unless they attack me, but I will attack them if they attack me. It is the true nature of our army to not be afraid of friction and dare to stop friction. But we should
Pay attention to the struggle strategy and do not escalate the situation. Just force Han Deqin to hand over the murderer. In the face of a powerful enemy, we should actively maintain and promote the anti-Japanese national united front and not provoke trouble. Facts have proved that Comrade Liu Yimin is worthy of our party's ability to withstand the test
Senior cadre, senior general of our army.
Boss Zhu's telegram praised Liu Yimin for his firm stance, but also criticized Liu Yimin for being young and energetic, speaking too fiercely against Chiang Kai-shek, and not saving face. Liu Yimin was strictly ordered to deal with it calmly and not to be dazzled by hatred and aggravate the situation. To the maximum extent, Han Delin refused to
If the murderer is not handed over, the Shuyang County Standing Brigade can be disarmed, but the Han Deqin Department cannot be attacked unless the Han Department takes the initiative to attack our army.
Chiang Kai-shek may have been too angry and did not call Liu Yimin back. Instead, calls from Song Meiling, He Yingqin, Li Zongren, Chen Cheng, and Zhang Zhizhong came like a snowflake.
Song Meiling's telegram was very particular. She first asked if Liu Yimin was in good health, and then said that Ni Hua was doing well in Chongqing and that she, her eldest sister, and her second sister would take care of her. Liu Yimin could rest assured. Then, Song Meiling changed her tone and scolded Liu Yimin for being stupid.
Qing, she didn’t know the importance of what she said, and failed her and Chairman Chiang’s hard work. The truth about the Tang Shuhong incident can be investigated. But Liu Yimin, as a general trusted by Chairman Chiang and the lover of Ni Hua’s cousin, how dared to say such words to Chairman Chiang
Disrespectful, *** is the following, talking about personal matters is destroying family ties. It is extremely disappointing.
Song Meiling asked Liu Yimin to apologize to Chiang Kai-shek, saying that Liu Yimin's telegram was rude, arrogant, threatening, and daring. He even accused the Chairman of the Generalissimo of improper employment, revealing his ambition to be the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, which has become a world-wide concern.
The laughingstock. The Ni family's daughter and the Song family's sisters have all been humiliated by him! If Liu Yimin dared not apologize, the Ni family would not have this son-in-law, the Song family would not have this relative, and Liu Yimin would never want to see Ni Hua again in his life.
He Yingqin's telegram was very tough, ordering Liu Yimin to immediately implement the Chairman's order and quickly withdraw to Shandong. Otherwise, he would be punished for disobeying military orders.
Li Zongren's telegram was like an old peacemaker. He first asked his fellow Guilin Ms. Tang Xingying that his mother and son were safe, and then asked the beautiful reporter Huang Wei how her work was going. Then he explained that he was busy commanding the battle of Suizao and had limited energy. He asked Liao Lei
The Anhui Provincial Government and the Security Command have little involvement in the work. Gao Jingting's incident was an accident. It was the New Fourth Army's military headquarters that wanted to enforce discipline on Gao Jingting. The Fifth War Zone was just a proxy for Chairman Chiang. Please forgive me, brother Liu.
The next step was to reminisce about old times, and actually recalled the past meeting with Liu Yimin in Xuzhou in the telegram, and lamented Chen Yaoguang's heroic sacrifice.
After saying so many lies, Li Zongren got to the point and said that Han Deqin didn't know much about the Tang Shuhong incident. He was indeed afraid of Liu Yimin's prosecution, so he reported it to the chairman of the committee, hoping that the chairman would allow Liu Yimin to withdraw his troops from Shandong. This was why Han Deqin did not
The helpless act of being willing to affect the unity of friendly forces because of the Tang Shuhong incident is not to falsely accuse Liu Yimin. Considering Liu Yimin's status in the mind of Chairman Chiang and Ni Hua's status in the mind of Mrs. Chiang, who in the world can falsely accuse Liu Yimin? Commissioner Chiang
A long and stern warning is also a sign of deep love and responsibility. Brother Liu was young and could not grasp the Chairman's thoughts. He was so angry that he made rude remarks to the Chairman and made the Chairman angry. In fact, this was unnecessary.
If you are motivated, you can report to Yu Xuezhong and ask Yu Xuezhong to order Han Deqin to investigate the truth and give justice to Tang Shuhong. If you really don't want to talk to Yu Xuezhong and Han Deqin, he can mediate and let Han Deqin first let Wang
Xu Wu and Zhou Faqian were locked up until the truth was found out before they were dealt with.
Finally, Li Zongren earnestly persuaded Liu Yimin that Han Deqin's department was behind enemy lines in northern Jiangsu and there was no food and grass in the foreign reinforcements. It was not easy to independently support the anti-war situation in northern Jiangsu. We could not generalize because of an accident, let alone threaten with force.
friendly forces to expand the situation. That would only make the Japanese army laugh. With Liu Yimin's mind and vision, he would not be able to see this clearly.
Chen Cheng's telegram was unique. He first said that after meeting Liu Yimin in Xi'an, China finally had a hero who was committed to resisting Japan without partisan prejudice. Today, after reading Liu Yimin's telegram to the leader, I realized that he was wrong.
Liu Yimin turned out to be just an ordinary man who was limited by his party views and respected himself as a soldier. Compared with the past wars between the Central Plains and the princes, he was really taking fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. Disrespect for the leader is disloyal to the country and the nation. Such a person
, no matter how great the record is, it is not worth learning and imitating. Then, Chen Cheng changed the topic and said that he represented all the Central Army generals and asked Liu Yimin what he wanted? Whether he is a friend or an enemy, it can be decided by Liu Yimin's words alone! Even if the instructor of the Eighth Route Army
No matter how powerful the fighting force is, the two million Central Army will defend the dignity of the leader to the death!
Zhang Zhizhong was the general who had the closest relationship with Liu Yimin in the Communist Party of China. His telegram was similar to Li Zongren's telegram, both of which were words of persuasion. However, Zhang Zhizhong was a more loyal person and blamed Liu Yimin for being too hasty in his telegram. No matter how you say it, it cannot be regarded as
Talk to Chairman Chiang in this tone. If this telegram is detected by the Japanese army, it will definitely become a handle for the Japanese army to attack our army, which will only make people laugh. No matter what, we must exercise restraint and restraint again, and we must not point the gun at
Han Deqin Department. The consequences of that would be very serious. At the least, the Military Commission will remove Liu Yimin from his post, at worst, he will cancel his instructor designation and declare him a rebel. Liu Yimin must think twice.
Zhang Zhizhong finally told Liu Yimin that he would report to Chairman Chiang and ask for permission to send him to northern Jiangsu to investigate and deal with the Tang Shuhong incident. Before he arrived in northern Jiangsu, Liu Yimin was asked to restrain the troops and not to act rashly.
After reading the telegrams from Song Meiling and others, Liu Yimin curled his lips, said "cut" and put them aside.
This time, Liu Yimin made up his mind to kill Wang Xuwu and Zhou Fagan. Because he knew that according to the current development trend, a climax of the uprising will inevitably break out by the end of the year, and the Chinese *** team will fall into internal strife. The Kuomintang and the Communist Party are fighting.
No matter how long it takes, there is no time to fight against the little Japs. Only by killing Wang Xuwu with thunder and Zhou Fagan's head can we frighten those who want to cause friction and make them be more honest. That's all, I don't know if it will be effective!
As for Soong Meiling's threat to prevent him from seeing Ni Hua for the rest of his life, how could Liu Yimin be afraid? Ni Hua is in the Eighth Route Army office and may go to the United States soon. What can Soong Meiling do to Ni Hua?
Thinking of Ni Hua, Liu Yimin felt that this girl was stupid. How could Song Meiling know about it when she first arrived in Chongqing? Then he laughed when he thought about it. The Eighth Route Army's Chongqing office was surrounded by spies. Ni Hua was so outstanding that he couldn't hide it at all. Besides, she arrived in Chongqing.
Chongqing must try to get in touch with people from the US Embassy, and maybe even use Soong Meiling's brand name!
Perhaps because Liu Yimin didn't reply to the call and he was worried that Liu Yimin would use force against Han Deqin, Yu Xuezhong also sent a telegram to Liu Yimin, saying that he was very sorry that he had not seen Liu Yimin since arriving in Shandong. He always looked forward to Mr. Liu's early triumphant return and discussed it together.
Shandong’s anti-Japanese plan.
Yu Xuezhong reported that he had ordered Deputy Commander-in-Chief Han to capture Wang Xuwu and Zhou Faqian, and escort them to the Shandong Sulu Theater Commander's Headquarters, where they would be interrogated by the Military Law Division of the Headquarters in accordance with the law to find out the truth. If they are indeed Wang Xuwu and Zhou Faqian Anyone who frames an anti-Japanese general will be severely punished.
Yu Xuezhong finally said that he had just arrived in Shandong and was not familiar with everything. He had many questions to ask Liu Yimin for advice. Matters in this war zone were best solved by this war zone. They both belonged to the same combat sequence and would have to cooperate in future operations. It was best to sit down and Come down and discuss it calmly, and do whatever you have to do without losing unity.
Perhaps because he was really worried about the safety of Han Deqin's department, He Yingqin later sent another telegram. This time, in addition to reiterating the need to implement Chairman Chiang's military orders, He Yingqin told Liu Yimin that Chairman Chiang had sent Zhang Zhizhong to northern Jiangsu to personally handle the Tang Shuhong incident. Liu Yimin is asked to be calm and calm. However, after the Tang Shuhong incident is dealt with, the Eighth Route Army instructors must withdraw to Shandong and consolidate the Shandong defense area. The remaining defense of the Jiangsu and Anhui areas will be handed over to the Han Deqin Department of the Fifth Theater and the Sulu Theater.
