Chapter 204 finally got the flag
Zhang Xueliang was embarrassed to hear Tu Qianjun's words, but Tu Qianjun immediately changed the subject. He naturally knew that some things would be fine if he said too much, but they would be annoyed if he said too much. He said it was love, but said too much, it would turn into hatred.
Tu Qianjun changed the topic and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Sixth Brother, what's wrong this time?" Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Tu Qianjun changed the topic. To be honest, he was indeed a little scared that Tu Qianjun continued to talk about his opium smoking.
Hearing Tu Qianjun changed the subject, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so he smiled at Tu Qianjun and said, "Junzi, this time I asked you to come here mainly about our change of flags. Nanjing hopes that I will change flags directly during Double Tenth Festival. But I am worried that the Kwantung Army will do something, or that the Japanese will do something. I am a little confused, so I ask you to come and help me take a closer look!"
After hearing Zhang Xueliang's words, Tu Qianjun smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank the wine in one go! Then he put down the wine glass and said slowly to Zhang Xueliang: "We are all determined to change the flag, I believe the Japanese understand this. Is there a difference between so early and late?! I think as long as we decide to change the flag, there is no difference for the Japanese at all."
Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but nodded after hearing Tu Qianjun's words, and then sat down and poured a glass of wine for Tu Qianjun to signal him to continue. Tu Qianjun smiled and picked up the wine and took a sip, and continued to say slowly: "Since there is no difference, it means that no matter when we change the flag, they should object or object! We have to fight or fight, we have no choice at all. If our troops are still in the pass, I would not like to set up the flag. After all, if we don't have any troops on hand, we will be in trouble if there is any problem!"
After hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Zhang Xueliang nodded again. It was indeed not strong to have no troops in hand! Why did he pretend to be a false help to Lin Quan and others before? Isn't it because his troops were all in the pass, and he was worried that the Kwantung Army would not be able to stop it?!
Later, I dared to refuse Lin Quanzhu because all the troops in the pass were withdrawn. I finally had the confidence to confront the Kanto Army! Only then did I dare to reject Lin Quanzhu's bullshit statements with a tough attitude. Zhang Xueliang made him nod frequently and Tu Qianjun smiled and continued.
"The British and Americans have already expressed their agreement with this time. Then I think the Japanese will not dare to do anything random again. Moreover, we have hundreds of thousands of troops in our hands. If they do something random, they are just seeking death!" As Tu Qianjun said, his eyes flashed and he said slowly to Zhang Xueliang: "Actually, it doesn't matter if we change the flag at the moment. Anyway, Japan will never interfere. And you can't help it. As for the time of changing the flag, you can do it yourself! I don't care."
After hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Zhang Xueliang suddenly felt enlightened! Perhaps it was because he was in it that he couldn't see the direction of the matter clearly. After all, you could still see some clues after careful consideration. After hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but smile and said, "Junzi! I didn't expect that you still have an opinion on these things! Not bad! He is much better than your sixth brother!"
Tu Qianjun smiled and waved his hand, and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Actually, Brother Six knows these things, but you don't see clearly in it. Now, the chances of the Japanese taking action against us are very small, so the problem with Yiqiu lies entirely in your own opinion. As for the Japanese, we can completely eliminate them."
After hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but nodded, and then smiled and told Tu Qianjun some gossip. He kept urging Tu Qianjun to drink. Zhang Xueliang didn't drink much. So Tu Qianjun did not ask Zhang Xueliang to drink with him, mostly drinking by himself. The two brothers talked about some homely words again and left the general's mansion directly.
Then Zhang Xueliang held a secret meeting of the Fengtian Department and put forward the news of the Double Tenth Festival change of flags. This caused a huge uproar! Some people immediately raised objections, believing that this move would anger the Japanese. But Zhang Xueliang immediately repeated Tu Qianjun's words and then everyone was silent.
On the second day, Zhang Xueliang sent a secret telegram to Jiang Zhongzheng in Nanjing through Zhang Qun, Wu Tiecheng, Song Dazhang and others stranded in Fengtian. The telegram said: I am in a dilemma now. If I don’t change my flag, I can’t deal with my brother, I can’t deal with the whole country. If I change my flag, I will be afraid that I will make a living in chaos and cannot deal with the elders of the three provinces. The current situation in Fengyuan, my brother will definitely be sure to be clear. However, Hanqing is the descendants of the Chinese descendants of Yan and Huang! He should do his best to unify China. Now I am willing to take a big risk to let my brother change his flag on Double Ten! I hope that if the people of the day will make any moves, I will not let him down!
The telegram reached Nanjing and was waiting anxiously, and finally felt relieved! But he immediately raised it in his heart. You must know that this matter is not small! Once the Japanese really changed their flags and did anything happen? So Jiang Zhizheng did not dare to neglect and immediately asked the British and American ministers to see the British and American ministers. The British and American ministers clearly stated that they would give Japan pressure to prevent them from doing force. However, there was no guarantee of sending troops.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Zhongzheng summoned Li Zongren and Feng Yuxiang to ask for their specific opinions. After receiving the guarantee from the bosses of the Guangxi clique and the Northwest Army, Jiang Zhongzheng sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang, saying, "Don't worry, Hanqing, my brother! After discussing with the people of the State Government, I decided that if the people of the State Government would do anything, the State Government would never sit still! It would be a shield for my brother! It would be a big deal to complete the unification, and the threats from outsiders would be small.
I am leading the public opinion under the power of the State Government to help me. What can outsiders do to me?!
After receiving the call, Zhang Xueliang's confidence increased greatly! He immediately left Zhang Qun and the others, and then ordered Tu Qianjun, who was defending Fengtian City, to arrest Zhao Xinbo's pro-Japanese backbone!
Tu Qianjun of course did this kind of thing with ease and turned around and left the order against the living bandits like Qi Muden! Moreover, a vigorous house search movement in Fengtian City began, and countless pro-Japanese factions were arrested on charges of "obstructing unification and obstructing the new policy"!
Originally, Zhang Xueliang was moved and meant to kill all these pro-Japanese factions as a kind of memorial to Zhang Zuolin, but Zhang Zuolang came out to object at this time. Zhang Zuolang felt that after all, these were all old people, and it was indeed inappropriate to be detained and sentenced if they were killed!
Zhang Xueliang thought about it and felt that it was true, so he sentenced all of these people and detained them in Fengtian City Prison. For this reason, the Japanese Consul in Fengtian, Lin Jiujiro, ran to the Grand Marshal's Mansion to protest, but unfortunately, he did not even see Zhang Xueliang's face.
At this point, the trend of changing flags in the Northeast has been decided! The original idea of the Kwantung Army was that it was surrounded by the Sixth Army that slaughtered Sanpao and did not dare to move. It could only watch all this helplessly. Zhang Xueliang held An**'s secret meeting again! At the meeting, Zhang Xueliang presented Jiang Zhongzheng's call, and decided through discussion that the flag changes were held on the Double Tenth Festival!
Then Zhang Xueliang sent a secret message to Fengtian Governor Zhai Wenxuan and others, saying: "This article will be decided to change the flag of the blue sky and white sun on the 29th of this month, and the three eastern provinces will be held at the same time... Only secrets should be kept in advance and not leaked slightly, so as not to attract other parties' attention!"
The telegram also explained the size of the flag. The next day, the Governor Fengtian called all the agencies in the provincial capital, as well as the governors of various counties, and informed the change of flags on the 29th. The telegram emphasized that it should be kept absolutely confidential! He also stated that "violators will be punished by military law!"
So, in mid-September, the entire three eastern provinces began a vigorous and secretly preparing for the change of flags! In order to prevent accidents, Zhang Xueliang sent all more than 30 tanks under his command to Tu Qianjun! He also handed over the temporary command of the Northeast Air Force to Tu Qianjun, which caused a huge uproar within the Fengtian clique!
But it doesn't matter to the veteran faction. After all, Tu Qianjun is also their nephews, and he is his own! He got it better than those new people, right?! But the non-commissioned officer faction led by Yang Yuting was extremely dissatisfied, especially Yang Yuting! He thought that he had enough qualifications and abilities, so why didn't he hand over the Fengtian Air Force to him for stewardship, but to the young boy Tu Qianjun?!
But with the support of the veterans, Yang Yuting and his team had to give up their opposition. At this time, the newly built mm mortar of the Fengtian clan also arrived at the Sixth Corps where Tu Sanpao was located! And sent the 100-Ting Liao thirteen-year heavy machine gun and the 150-Ting thirteen-year light machine gun together!
After Tu Sanpao received these weapons, he understood them intently and ordered the troops to monitor and even surround the entire Kwantung Army. At the same time, he also took Lan Yang, who had finished his mission. After all, Sanpao had just transformed from a bandit to an official army, and some rules and habits could not be changed.
In the An*** period, except Tu Sanpao, no one else could stop this man who seemed to be a man, so Zhang Xueliang readily transferred Santa Niang to Tu Sanpao's command and appointed Santa Niang as brigade commander.
The Kwantung Army naturally noticed Zhang Xueliang's actions, but they could do nothing. After all, the Sixth Army had tens of thousands of people! Moreover, the entire An*** was withdrawn from the pass, and the second-line troops An** had already approached 500,000!
Under such circumstances, the Kwantung Army did not even dare to move around. They could only watch Zhang Xueliang keep making small moves and arrest all the Lin pro-Japanese faction without any help.
On October 10, the flag change ceremony was held in the Fengtian Provincial Government Auditorium. Zhang Xueliang was wearing a deep yellow Zhongshan uniform, Fang Benren, the oath supervisor, was wearing a long robe and a short jacket. Amid the sound of military music, Zhang Xueliang led the Fengmen generals to bow three times to the party flag and the prime minister's portrait. After Fang Benren read the will, he immediately took the oath supervisor and awarded the position of the chief commander of the Northeast and the directors of the Northeast committee members and the directors of the Northeast committee. The chief commander of the Northeast border defense army and the chairman of the four provincial governments of Fengji Heire were raised with their right hands to recite the oath.
Fang Benren delivered a speech on behalf of the National Government and said: "Today, the oath ceremony will be held for the chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army and the members of the four provincial governments of Fengji Heire. This is a day when the revolution is successful and the national unification can be commemorated."
Afterwards, Zhang Xueliang gave an answer. After the speech, Zhang Xueliang delivered an impromptu speech. He said: "Why did we change our banner? In fact, we followed the practice of an advanced country (also referring to Japan's "major policies and return them"). A certain side initially also acted in power, hindering the central government's rule, and the country became weak. Later, the warlords realized and returned the major policies to the central government and became prosperous and strong. Today, we don't want to divide the central government's power to redeem the government to the central government in order to seek true unity of China."
Later, Zhang Xueliang issued a telegram to the whole country, saying: "I should rely on the will of the Grand Marshal of the Elderly, strive to unify and implement peace. It has been announced from now on that I will abide by the Three Principles of the People, obey the National Government, and change the flag.
On the same day, the Nanjing National Government sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang and others: "Complete unification, defend border defense, and work together to achieve the prosperity of freedom and equality in China, and have high hopes."
