After forcibly recovering the Middle East Road, Zhang Hanqing had urged the governments of Jiji and Hei provinces to set up the Harbin Railway Bureau and the Changchun Railway Bureau respectively through Zhang Zuolin, and officially took over the daily operation of the Middle East Road. What he is missing now is the hindsight recognition of the Russians.

Now people have given in, whether willingly or not. After being slapped, I have to give some sweetness. In order to enhance the sincerity of the Chinese side, Zhang Hanqing went one step further and said: "If we are in step with each other in jointly guarding against Japanese and US intervention, the Northeast Autonomous Government will also fully consider your demands and will fully mobilize its contacts to promote friendship between China and Russia and re-establish diplomatic relations." All of this is thanks to the efforts of Mr. Special Envoy. ”

This is to take advantage of the Russian government's eagerness to find a breakthrough in world public opinion, so as not to be alone and intolerant of the planet. After the February Revolution, and especially after the October Revolution, the great powers of the world felt dissatisfaction and fear about this nascent Soviet power. Therefore, so far, no country has recognized it, and even the Republic of China has withdrawn its ambassador to Russia.

This promise is what Soviet Russia wants, and it is also the biggest gain of Youlin's trip. But the price is not small: the complete abandonment of the China Eastern Railway and the return of China's Qiqi coast.

Fortunately, none of these are out of the bottom line of Soviet Russia, Youlin just wonders, why is this Chinese young marshal so sophisticated?

I didn't have time to think about it, seeing that the raw rice had been cooked and cooked, Youlin didn't want to do much, so he didn't end up with a loss. The grim situation in front of him made it impossible for him to optimistically predict that in just four years, the Soviet Russian government would completely ease up. I don't know how he felt at that time, looking at the treaty he had signed with his own hands?

Two days later, Youlin brought good news to Zhang Hanqing. The government of the Russian Federation officially issued a statement renouncing all rights and interests in the Middle East Road; It also ended the decades-long dispute between China and Russia on the Hanqi Coast and announced its recognition of China's territorial rights to the land along the Tumen River estuary.

Along with its announcement was an agreement signed by its special envoy Youlin and Zhang Zuolin, chairman of the Northeast Autonomous Government, patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces and supervisor of Fengtian. The two sides exchanged texts on the above-mentioned declaration, unanimously declared their desire to ease the situation in the Far East, and jointly called on the government of the Republic of China to recognize the Soviet Russian regime and turn the Sino-Soviet border into a land of friendship, peace and prosperity. Its speed and movement were so fast that it blinded the eyes of the road guards and border guards on the Middle East Road, and the central officers.

Zhang Hanqing's role in this was not well known to the people of the time, and only a high-level cadre in the Feng department knew how strong Zhang Hanqing's ability to grasp current affairs was when he held the posts of the China Eastern Railway Conference Office, the commander of the Middle East Road Road Escort Army, and the special envoy for foreign affairs of the three eastern provinces. Who could have known that such a major concession by Soviet Russia would be achieved at his instigation?

The ins and outs of these two events finally left a strong mark in the history books. Zhang Zuolin was in the hearts of the Chinese people with his "soil" merit, and was later awarded the first-class Baoguang Jiahe Medal; Although Bao Guiqing, the overseer of Jilin, and Sun Liechen, the overseer of Hei Province, did not contribute much, they were both awarded the first-class Jiahe Medal and a nine-lion saber because of their "leading role". However, Zhang Hanqing, who has the greatest credit, only won the first-class Wenhu Medal and was awarded a medal because of his humble position, and some people complained about it.

Zhang Hanqing didn't care about these false names, in his words, "being able to do something practical for the Chinese nation is better than anything else." But in private, he inevitably regretted that he was not promoted to lieutenant general. Although he is already quite influential among the high-level leaders of the Feng department, and he seems to be on an equal footing with Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng and other veterans of the Feng department, but a major general and the rank of lieutenant general have never been able to be tough in the future. Don't look at him usually doesn't say it, but relying on his own real strength to gain strength and relying on the brand of young marshal to win benefits is not the same for him.

Fortunately, this unhappiness was diluted by the prospect of a good situation in the Northeast. According to the agreement between the two sides, China and Russia will extend eastward to the middle line of the mouth of Positu Bay based on the nearest land site of the existing Poshet Bay to China, and the two cities will equally divide the Qinghai Bay of Oxbe.

This area of about 500 square kilometers provides China with a sufficient strategic buffer against the Japanese threat to Jilin from the northeastern corner of Korea. This is the first time in modern times that China has acquired a piece of land without using ransom and without other interests. Although it is not a large area, it has symbolic significance. Even geopolitically, its role should not be underestimated.

In response, the Northeast Autonomous Government also announced to the outside world that the recovery of these two places has experienced twists and turns, and it was not easy to come by. It fully embodies the goodwill of the Soviet Russian government in its willingness to live in peace with China, and will never allow any organization to use any pretext to deal with Soviet Russia and even trap China in an "unjust land." This is a great shame for China, which advocates "the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring."

First, set the tone in public opinion: I am not acting against the will of your kingdom, but it is contrary to our traditional morality and ethics. I said that, how can you still rent, or requisition, or grab my Eastern Railway? How else do you make waves in the Tumen River area?

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Zhang Hanqing had already ordered the troops stationed in Kyrgyzstan to prepare for the advance to Mokowei Bay. A total of 4 kilometers in a straight line, as long as you cut at the arc, the land at the southern foot of the Posette Bay is not owned by Russia. At the same time, more than a dozen civilian ships requisitioned by the Jilin garrison were also loaded with soldiers, preparing to force their way down the Tumen River to land from all parts of the coast.

Because the river at the mouth of the sea is wide, this will bring benefits to prevent the Japanese from making trouble unreasonably in the future---- there is no way to be a close neighbor on land, and across such a wide river, what reason do you have to come and infiltrate?

Of course, the use of force is the next policy, if it were not for the purpose of laying a century-old foundation, Zhang Hanqing would not want to take political risks to make trouble here. Since the establishment of the Far East Intervention Force, Northeast Asia and the Far East have changed three times in a day, and countless eyes have been fixed on it. There are no lice, and the Japanese still want to scratch their heads, and if there is a mess here, it will play into their hands.

The most ridiculous thing is that at this time, the Central Government of the Republic of China did not send troops to participate in the actions of the Far East Intervention Army, and wasted this opportunity to make a difference. If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing's birth and strong interference, this dream of recovering his homeland would have been left for a thousand years later. I wonder how much a symbolic battalion and a few warships can improve China's external image?

Because the attitude of the Republic of China towards the new Soviet and Russian regime was not recognized and even somewhat hostile, the Northeast Autonomous Government chose to "obey" its demands at this time and took the initiative to block all border crossings with Russia. Then, according to China's domestic executive order, the Northeast Autonomous Government has lawfully and reasonably restricted the activities of the intervening forces outside China's territory.

While the iron was hot, the Jilin Provincial Government sent a number of administrative teams to take over the place and began to set up boundaries and drive piles. The corresponding town of Mokowei has also built a set of administrative institutions such as the town office and the police station. Its speed and swiftness of its movements caught the Japanese on the other side of the river by surprise. Originally, they were counting on entering Russia through North Korea and waiting for an opportunity to cause some trouble on the Chinese border.

Shigeru Yoshida, the consul in Mukden, the Manchurian Railway Company, the Korean Reclamation Corps, and other institutions hurriedly discussed countermeasures. The Japanese Army, which had already begun to attack Vladivostok, had already set out from home, and as a result, the Hanqi Coast, which they had been aiming for, suddenly fell into the air, and this feeling of hanging in the air was very uncomfortable. But Zhang Hanqing is like a hedgehog, using various methods to make the Japanese unable to speak.
