Chapter 582: Big Flagpole, You Sold Yourself Cheaply

On September 16, 1942, Xiaolu rushed to Harbin to attend the meeting of the Northeast Bureau. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Today, the Soviet Union and the Chinese government have signed an agreement to abolish the unequal treaties signed between the tsars and China, and to return a large area of land in the Outer Northeast all the way to Lake Baikal and the Tangnu-Uliang Sea. The new border between the two sides follows the river all the way to the Arctic Ocean.

The no-man's land in the north is fought for in the negotiations. In these years, the climate was cold, the north was bitterly cold, it was a no-man's land, and some of the former settlements were evacuated. In the past, the two sides were at a stalemate here, and the Chongqing delegates hated that they had seized Chinese territory many times before, and they were not in a hurry to reach an agreement, and they did not pay any price anyway, and the asking price was very high. The Soviet Union did not agree, and only wanted to let China send troops first, and then play tricks after relieving the crisis.

This time, when the Soviet Union realized the destruction of the country, the agreement was actually reached.

Both Governments also issued official instruments of ratification on the following day. Stalin was officially exposed this time, indicating that Stalin was still there and encouraging the Soviet people.

In exchange, the Northeast Coalition Army was to send troops to the Outer Northeast to fight the Japanese army.

Outer Northeast is a geographical term first proposed by the Northeast Army.

Xiaolu insisted that time waits for no one, and that it must be recaptured in one to two years. He does not know how the situation in the world will evolve in the future under his influence. Will the Second World War end in 1945. Now, his aim is to bring back the Outer Northeast and prepare for the end of the war in 1945.

The Chongqing government issued an order that did not matter the itch. They ordered the Northeast Coalition Army to attack the Outer Northeast, fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army, and regain the territory. Their calculations are clear to everyone, and they want to make both the Japanese and the Northeast Coalition Army lose out. The sudden rise of the Northeast Coalition Army made Chongqing feel very uneasy, and many people even felt threatened.

Now that there is an opportunity to weaken the Northeast coalition army, why not take advantage of it.

It is really difficult to grasp the balance between letting the Soviet Union be beaten to the brink of death by Germany and Japan, but not to be defeated. In addition, whether you have the ability to master it yourself is also a difficult problem.

Ability, to have a solid foundation, is a healthy Northeast government. At present, the northeast has 70 percent of the cadres trained by Yan'an, and a large number of cadres with strong ability are leading the government in various regions. Soon, the major cities of the Northeast will be revitalized to provide supplies for the attack on the Outer Northeast.

In order to solve the worries of the northeast, the Eighth Route Army in North China, armed with materials from the northeast, actively harassed the Japanese troops in various places, and some troops began to seize some remote towns and establish political power. Because of the heavy losses of the garrison army in North China in the previous stage, there was a power vacuum in North China, and the Eighth Route Army quickly expanded its army to fill the vacuum.

Yan Xishan's troops also took the opportunity to expand their territory, and Lao Chiang's other miscellaneous troops also took the opportunity to expand their territory. For a time, North China fell into a state of chaos.

At this time, something big happened in the Northeast, and Xie Wendong had an accident.

Xie Wendong is now the director of the North Manchurian Industrial Bureau, because heavy industry is mainly in Yichun, and the office of the North Manchurian Industrial Bureau is set up in Jiamusi. Originally, Xiaolu decided that the North Manchurian Industrial Bureau was still in Yichun, but Xie Wendong interceded with Zhao Shangzhi and found a few old anti-Japanese federations to talk about the project, and when the meeting was held, the minority obeyed the majority, and the North Manchurian Industrial Bureau was set up in Jiamusi.

As soon as Jiamusi was liberated, Xie Wendong immediately drove into Jiamusi with the Industrial Bureau. At this time, the government was taking over the property of the Japanese army.

Although Xie Wendong does not understand industry, he has a flexible mind and is good at management, and he actually makes the civilian industry very prosperous, which makes many people fall through their glasses.

The Japanese army had a lot of property in Jiamusi, a large number of industrial facilities, and a lot of buildings. Public buildings are expropriated as government agencies. Among them, all those related to the army's logistics, baggage, and industry are assigned to the Industrial Bureau.

Not counting these large buildings, there are also many small Japanese western-style buildings between them. These western-style buildings were also assigned to the Industrial Bureau.

Xie Wendong was a bold and righteous person, and distributed several small buildings occupied by the Industrial Bureau to several leaders in the city to live in, and then gave two small buildings in the corners of the city to his two sons to live in. In addition, he has a set of his own. Because he maintained the relationship with the other leaders very well, everyone didn't say anything, and the house went on like this.

After entering Jiamusi, dozens of Japanese trading companies were seized. The trading company has a monopoly position in Jiamusi and has high profits. Because the Tohoku Bureau had detailed methods for receiving the public property of the Japanese army, these trading companies became state-owned enterprises. The Northeast Bureau of North Manchurian Industry has produced a large number of priority supplies, and these state-owned businesses have high profits.

Xie Wendong saw the business opportunities here, so he wanted to use the power in his hands to do business. At this time, business came to the door, and a few merchants had access to the Japanese-occupied areas of Korea, and they had been selling Yichun's goods there before. Now, in the summer, almost the entire Northeast has been recovered, and the railway system has been restored well, these people have approached Xie Wendong to restore the trade routes disrupted by the previous war.

Xie Wendong is no longer the reckless hero he used to be, and his theoretical level is very high. The so-called high level of theory is touted by several people around him, that is, he can foresee the victory of that faction, when it will win, who will be advantageous, and so on. In addition, Lao Xie also read a few books of Mao Gong and had a lot of experience.

Xie Wendong resolutely did not do business with them in his personal name, and personally operated this trade route in the name of organ production.

During this period, Lao Xie was promoted to deputy mayor of Jiamusi according to the previous plan. Although he didn't drink foreign ink, he was very capable and managed Jiamusi very well.

In the summer, the battle in the south of the Northeast was fierce, and Lao Xie's business here was in an uproar, and Lao Xie was accommodating in the liberated area, and the caravans had contributed to the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army before, so the caravans came and went freely. In enemy-occupied areas, these people have a way out, and they are still unimpeded. Several batches of goods have been shipped in a row. For the first two batches of goods, Lao Xie only received a rebate of tens of thousands of yuan from each merchant, and later, he was not satisfied and asked for a proportional commission. He has a high percentage, demanding two and a half percent.

After a few trips according to this proportion, Anton was liberated, the goods of the public house drove straight in, and the prices of goods in the enemy-occupied areas fell. The caravan was gone, and almost all of their profits were eaten up by Lao Xie. The caravan discussed with Lao Xie and wanted to reduce the commission. Lao Xie doesn't do it.

A caravan reported the incident to Chen Yu.

Not long ago, Chen Yu was transferred from the position of deputy mayor of Qiqihar to deputy director of the Industrial Bureau, focusing on military enterprises. Although he is a deputy, he has great power, because the scale of Yichun's military industry is huge and the output value is much higher. He took over the military industry and has been living in a factory in the Yichun Mountains since he took over, and has made achievements at several critical moments, successfully developed several weapons, and made great achievements and became famous. He has a general relationship with Lao Xie, and usually advises Lao Xie to study more and read more. Lao Xie read a few books of Mao Gong and stopped learning other theories.

Recently, he heard that Lao Xie Hu was coming, so he went directly to Jiamusi and persuaded Lao Xie not to come to Hu and withdraw the money and houses that he had forcibly occupied.

Lao Xie played Tai Chi with him, and when Chen Yu returned to the hotel, he found that there was an extra paper bag in his luggage, which contained 50,000 yuan and five gold bars.

Chen Yu was furious and called his secretary and an accompanying factory director to testify on the spot and report the matter to Harbin.

Zhang Zongke also knew the details and led the police force to directly arrest Xie Wendong. Xie Wendong had been completely deprived of military power at this time, and his old troops were not in the Sanjiang area before, so his arrest did not cause unease.

Peng Zhen, who was in charge of Harbin government, immediately sent a team to Jiamusi, investigated for several days, and formally arrested Xie Wendong.

After investigation, Xie Wendong embezzled more than 200,000 yuan, three western-style buildings, 500 yuan of land, and accepted bribes of more than 500,000 yuan. In addition, his brother-in-law seized the land and had a life in his hands, and he was also arrested.

The facts are clear, and there is no doubt for all. Xie Wendong felt that there was no big problem with himself, it was nothing more than to return what he ate more and occupy more, and his worst situation was just to be demoted, and he asked Zhao Shangzhi and other old comrades-in-arms to ask for mercy, and even talked to the commander-in-chief, maybe he would keep the black yarn hat.

The Northeast Bureau is very cautious.

After soliciting Xiaolu's opinions, he carried out an inventory in all the liberated areas on the one hand, and reported the case to northern Shaanxi on the other hand, asking for advice on how to deal with it.

Mao Gong attached great importance to this matter, combined this matter with the rectification, and talked about this matter at several rectification meetings in succession.

At this time, two things about Xie Wendong were exposed, one was that he had smuggled munitions to civilian businessmen and sold military machinery to private owners. Another thing that was most egregious was that he purchased low-quality cotton from a Suiyuan merchant to produce cotton uniforms.

Xiao Lu once told Mao Gong that in the future, his right-hand man would be dismissed because of corruption. In several confidential conversations, I discussed countermeasures with him. The countermeasure of Mao Gong in later generations was, first, relying on personal prestige to directly execute criminal cadres. The second is to launch a mass movement to crack down on corruption.

The pros and cons are clear. It is easy to go overboard and rely on personal prestige, and the limitations are also very great. After the two had a secret talk, they felt that the rule of law was possible, but the rule of man was also necessary at present. This time, Mao Gong sent a request for instructions to the Northeast Bureau and sentenced Xie Wendong to death.

When the news was issued, there was an endless stream of people who went to the Northeast Bureau to intercede, and many of them were either Xie Wendong's old comrades-in-arms, or they felt that he had merit and could make up for it, and the death penalty should be waived.

The Northeast Bureau was under a lot of pressure, so it dragged on for a while, pulled the path to Harbin, and held a meeting to discuss.

Xiao Lu understood the thoughts of the cadres of the Northeast Bureau, because the cadres of the Northeast Bureau now used to have a lot of old anti-Japanese federations, and most of the main leaders were sent by Yan'an, and they dealt with Xie Wendong, which was not conducive to unity. Because Xiaolu had prestige in the original old Anti-Japanese Federation, he was invited to come back to do his work.

On the way back to Harbin, Xiaolu greatly deleted and reduced the two laws of the civil law and the criminal law of the later generations, and only retained less than half of the provisions, returned to Harbin, and immediately printed and distributed the drafts of the two drafts to various organs and troops, and widely solicited opinions.

Xiaolu did not directly discuss Xie Wendong's case, but released several cases that had recently been investigated and asked the people to discuss them.

1. Xie Wendong (1887-1946). After Xie Wendong surrendered, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi, and the puppet Manchurian prime minister, Zhang Jinghui, met with Xie Wendong and promised to be a high-ranking official. Xie Wendong declined. Some people say that he attempted suicide by throwing himself into the Songhua River on the ship returning to Yilan. This is worth scrutinizing, but it may not be true. Later, he lived in Boli County and became the head of the mine under the supervision of the Japanese army. Some people say it's an ordinary miner, no.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the national capital was restored to the northeast, and Xie Wendong was awarded by Chiang Kai-shek as the commander-in-chief of the 15th Army of the Kuomintang, and Zhang Yuxin, Li Huatang, and Sun Rongjiu were called the four flagpoles. Some people say that it was given by Lao Jiang himself, which is inaccurate, but it is just a letter signed by Lao Jiang.

In 1946, Xie Wendong's troops were surrounded by the troops of the Hejiang Military Region, hundreds of casualties surrendered, at the end of April, the Hejiang Military Region launched an attack on Yilan Taiping Town, Hunan Battalion, more than 1,500 15 troops were annihilated, Xie Wendong led more than 2,000 people to withdraw to Jixi, and met the 259 Brigade in Jixi, and after the collapse, he joined Li Huatang and Zhang Yuxin, supported 9,000 people, and occupied Diao Ling County. On August 6, the Hejiang Military Region detachment and the 259th Brigade surrounded the eastern part of Xie Wen, and more than 7,000 people were annihilated in the eastern part of Xie Wen. These figures are all fictitious, and most of them were falsely reported during the interrogation, and may not be true. Because the bandits were defeated, the numbers could not be verified.

The Hejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government of the Communist Party of China sent people to persuade Xie Wendong to surrender, and Xie Wendong said: "I have no way out, and besides, the Kuomintang is the central government and represents the country, and your Communist Party is also under his control, let alone me." Since I have been appointed by the government, I have to listen to the government. ”

In July-August 1946, most of the North Manchurian bandits were annihilated, and on November 20, Xie Wendong had only 6 people left (the most credible number is this). Coming to a small earthen temple in Sidaohezi, Xie Wendong knelt on the ground and prayed, was surrounded by the 359th Brigade and was captured. On December 3, 46, the public trial meeting was held in Boli County, and after the public trial, Xie Wendong was dragged into the execution ground and executed.
