However, this newly established puppet Shandong Provincial Office is really good enough, and Han Fuyu, an old warlord in Shandong, also hates himself very much. Originally, he was the emperor of Shandong, but he made such a fuss that he had to run away. The foundation that he had been running for most of his life was ruined, so when Han Fuqu retreated, he burned down the original provincial political axe building in Shandong Province in a fit of rage, resulting in the fact that the pseudo-"Provincial Office" did not even have a decent office space at the beginning of its establishment, so it had to temporarily borrow the primary school building attached to the Yuemiao Street Normal School as an office location. At the same time, the Construction Department was also sent to survey the area around the former Education Department and the Provincial Theater on Gongyuan Wallen Street in the city, and rebuild the premises of the Provincial Office, which is actually the reconstruction of the political axe building of Shandong Province. Han Yunhua also knows a lot about this project, which began to be prepared in July 1938 and completed in March 1939, which lasted half a year and cost 90,000 yuan. After that, the Provincial Office moved to a new location until 1945, when it collapsed, except for the Police Department, all departments and offices were concentrated in the Office and adopted the form of co-office. Let's say that when the army entered Jinan, a group of people from the Taoist Institute and the Buddhist Association brought by He Supu, a group of people from the Red Swastika Society brought by Zhang Xingwu, president of the Red Swastika Society, and Wang Zifeng, Han Chunyi, Li Bocheng, Fu Yuting, Zhang Guansan and others from the Chamber of Commerce bowed at the Puli Gate on the second road to welcome the army into the city. Regarding the scene when the Yue army entered the city, everyone can also see it in TV or movies and other scenes, and the people who open the way are often those Chinese who hold the flag of their own country and nod their heads, and then the officer who rides a tall horse follows behind with a proud expression

Due to the speed at which the main force of the Yue army marched quickly, the troops of the Shandong warlord Han Fuqu were not far from the main force of the Yue army. In order to chase after Han Fuyu's troops who retreated south, the main force of the army did not leave many troops in Jinan City when they entered Jinan, and most of the troops only rested in Jinan for a while, and then quickly moved south. As a result, the number of garrisons in Jinan at that time was very small, and the order in the city was still unstable. At that time, the chaos had seriously threatened the rule of the Yue army in Jinan. Even the banks, warehouses, stations, freight yards and other strategic places set up by the Yue army in Jinan were smashed and looted by a small number of people, and those who evacuated before the outbreak of the war and then made a comeback with the Yue army, as well as the Yue Ben ronin, who opened daidang (small pawnshops) in Jinan before the war and sold foreign goods, heroin, morphine, and opium cigarettes, became more and more rampant, fearless, and wantonly inspected and looted with the army. The wanton recklessness of the army entering the city added to the chaos of order, first the Taikang Food Company and the Shanghai Food Company were smashed, and then the ordinary dim sum shops were also smashed. The smashed merchants have sought the Chamber of Commerce to ask for protection; The people who smashed the shop also went to the Chamber of Commerce and ordered the supply.

In order to solve the problem of supplying the imperial army and maintaining law and order in Jinan, out of consideration of various factors, Xin Zhujiu, president of the Jinan Chamber of Commerce, He Supu, the head of the Jinan Provincial Academy, and Ma Liang, the warlord of the pro-faction faction, began to organize a puppet regime to maintain law and order in the city. Compared with the well-known people in Jinan City at that time, this newly established maintenance organization was actually a lackey of the Yue Army, and from the perspective of the Chinese, this puppet regime was a pseudo-political axe of Han annihilation. Therefore, there were not many people who responded to the Yue army at that time, and the Chinese have always paid attention to the way of loyalty and filial piety since ancient times, and being a Han annihilation lackey was despised by the whole world, just like Qin Huan and a group of courtiers.

Therefore, as a last resort, few people are willing to show their heads and be Han anniversaries. As far as the army is concerned, the key to the puppet political axe is also the issue of candidates. There were three original candidates: Xin Zhujiu, president of the Jinan Chamber of Commerce, He Supu, the head of the Jinan Provincial Academy, and Ma Liang, the warlord of the pro-faction. They represent the three forces of Jinan's business, religious, and military and political circles. The main figures of these three forces were actually the backbone of the puppet regime in Later Shandong, such as Wei Shoushan in the business world, Tang Yangdu, Zhang Xingwu, and Cheng Yi'an in the Taoist Academy.

According to the situation at that time, for the military side, the most suitable person to come forward to organize the political power and the chamber of commerce was Xin Zhujiu, but Xin saw the essence of this so-called Shandong Provincial Office, so he refused without hesitation. Xin believes that because of the rampant situation in the market, the chaos in the market, and the crisis, the citizens asked for the organization of a maintenance association to temporarily maintain order in the market, so they could come forward to negotiate with the president, but they should not maintain the president of the association.

However, in his own opinion, Xin Zhujiu, as the leader of Shandong merchants, is the most suitable candidate, and He Supu, as a person in the religious circles, is really not easy to show up in the military and politics, let alone serve as a high-ranking official of the political axe. As for Ma Liang, he is a warlord himself, no matter how personally he says about the warlord, he will not trust him too much. Therefore, Xin Zhujiu was his favorite candidate at that time, but Xin Zhujiu himself was unwilling to wade into this troubled water. Therefore, Xin, He, and Ma went together to meet with the head of the special service of the military to negotiate the maintenance of order in the market. However, after this negotiation, the result was that Xin Zhujiu was unwilling to act for the tiger, and took refuge in the Hongjialou Catholic Church in the eastern suburbs of Jinan, and insisted on not showing up. As a representative figure in the religious circles, He Supu is inconvenient to show his face in the military and political circles, so he can only work behind the scenes. In this way, Maleonn became the natural candidate to maintain the president of the association. Ma Liang, the word Zizhen. Hui. A native of Qingyuan, Hebei. Graduated from Beiyang Military Academy. Since 1901, he has been a teacher at the Shanxi Military Academy and the Zhili Army Accelerated School. Ma Liang, as a cadre of the warlords of Duan Qirui's Anhui clan with Yue himself as the background, has always been a stubborn pro-Yue element. He used to be the commander of the baggage battalion of the Beiyang Standing Army, the chief staff officer of the sixth town, the standard commander of the 21st infantry (regiment), and the standard commander of the artillery of the sixth town (division). In June 1911, he was transferred to the Ninth Association (Brigade Commander) of the Fifth Town of Beiyang. After 912, he served as the commander of the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division, the commander of the 47th Mixed Brigade and the division commander of Shandong.

Ma Liang's people have long been notorious, as early as the May Fourth Movement, they were deeply hated by the Chinese people for killing patriotic compatriots, and they became notorious. I know this, but at that time, when some of the Han anniversaries were hesitant, some looked forward and backward, and some were disgusted with eating meat, it was also a last resort to pull Ma Liang out for temporary use. Just as he dealt with the Han annihilation in other places, the Yue army in Shandong did not forget to restrict the development of Ma Liang's department while supporting the formation of the Jinan Maintenance Association. While the Yue army continued to attack the whole province of Shandong along the Jinpu Road and Jiaoji Road, the Yue army supported a large number of large and small Han annihilation regimes and some fairly eye-catching bandit units along the way. Jinpu Road: On January 1, 1938, the 10th Division of the Second Army of the Chinese Army fell into Tai'an and Feicheng; 2 said, from Tai'an to the south in two ways, all the way to Yanzhou, all the way to Dongping, the same said, trapped in Dawenkou; 4 said, trapped in Yanzhou, Qufu, Mengyin. On the 5th, Han Fuyu's troops abandoned Jining and withdrew to the west bank of the canal, and the main force retreated to the areas of Caoxian, Chengwu, and Shanxian. On the 6th, the army occupied Zou County, on the 11th, Jining was trapped, and on February 25, Jiaxiang was trapped. At this point, the Yue army and the Kuomintang army confronted Jining, Tengxian, and Mengyin. Jiaoji Road: On December 25, 1937, the army occupied Zhou Village, marched eastward along Jiaoji Road, and fell into Weixian County on January 10, 1938; At the same time, it was said that the marines landed in Qingdao and drove into the urban area, forming a trend of east-west advance along the Jiaoji Road. On January 15, the Jiaoji Railway was taken over by the South Manchurian Railway Bureau; At the same time, the northern section of Jinpu Road was also accepted.

At the same time, the puppet provisional political axe of Beiping announced the appointment of Zhao Qi and Zhang Huanan to take charge of Qingdao and Yantai respectively. On the 17th, the "Qingdao Public Security Maintenance Association" with Zhao Qi as the chairman was established in the Qingdao Shandong Road General Chamber of Commerce, which consists of a secretariat, a general affairs department, and a police department. Qingdao and Jinan will maintain the east and west, and contain each other, creating conditions for the puppet control of Shandong Province. On February 3, Qingdao said that the army invaded the east and occupied Yantai. On the 4th, the army fell into Zhucheng, and on the 20th, it fell into Zhaozhao and Juxian, and confronted the Kuomintang army in the Linyi area. The eastern and western fronts formed a flank attack on the Kuomintang troops in Lunan and Xuzhou. On March 7, the army fell into Weihaiwei. At this point, most of Shandong became a occupied area, and the puppets occupied the main communication lines and nearby cities. At this time, the Chinese army was engaged in offensive operations against the Lunan and Xuzhou areas, and was unable to fully maintain the situation in the occupied areas, and the surging development of anti-Japanese armed organizations and activities already threatened the security of the rear of the Japanese army.

To be honest, no one was easy to mix in that era, including Han Jian. You said that when the Han Annihilation is not only despised by the Chinese people, but also accepts orders from the master himself, and if he is not good, he will be replaced by the little Han below. Although Ma Liang was the founder of the puppet Shandong regime, his tenure was only one year. Although the year of his tenure (counting from the maintenance meeting) can be said to be the initial period of the establishment of the puppet regime in Shandong, although the order and administrative institutions at all levels in the province are still unstable, the puppet regime has basically been erected.

However, although Ma Liang and his ilk loyally served the army, they were still not satisfied with the army. Dissatisfaction mainly comes from two aspects: First, as mentioned earlier, Ma Liang is notorious and discredited in Shandong, whether it is the local gentry or ordinary people in Jinan, Shandong, they all hate Ma Liang. Therefore, Ma Liang's order almost could not leave Jinan City, which caused great trouble to his own rule; Second, during this period, Shandong's anti-Japanese activities were surging, and the puppet regime was slow to advance and the situation was unstable. Ma Liang was often reprimanded and even insulted by the army because of this, and Ma Liang was originally an old warlord, and those who have been warlords for a long time will have a kind of arrogance, and they seem extremely unruly. Therefore, his favorability towards Ma Liang tended to decline, and when he became governor for less than half a year, he wanted to remove him and replace him with a more suitable candidate.
