Yan Xishan took the letter, read it, and said, "Okay, I have always believed that all the residents and walkers have merit. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info residents such as Mr. Su, Mr. Feng, endure humiliation and burden, protect the lives and property of the three Jin fathers. Walkers are like my generation, fighting against the Japanese army. ”

Brother Su didn't speak, he was still a little apprehensive. He has been with Yan Xishan many times, and finally met today, I don't know what his arrangements are.

Yan Xishan took the letter, read it, and said: "I have already discussed this matter with the Chongqing side, and the arrangement is like this, with Su Tiren, Feng Sizhi, and Wang Xiang as senior advisers or senior counselors. ”

The resident walker is a special term of Yan Xishan's anti-Japanese theory, the resident is the person who saves the country with a curve, and the walker is the person who directly resists Japan.

When Brother Su heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you Chief Yan for your mediation." And what about the army? ”

Yan Xishan said: "The army was incorporated into the provincial defense army, and it was organized into five armies in total. ”

Yan Xishan was obviously thoughtful, and told the story of the incorporation plan: "I plan to incorporate the puppet army in Shanxi and organize it into five provincial defense armies. Zhao Shiling was appointed as the commander of the First Army of the Provincial Defense Army; Command the puppet army near Taiyuan; Zhao Rui is the commander of the Second Army of the Provincial Defense Army, commanding the puppet Shanxi Security Brigade and the Yanmen and Hedong Security Teams; Yang Cheng was the commander of the Third Army of the Provincial Defense Army, commanding the 12th and 13th Group Armies of the puppet North China Appeasement Army and the Shangdang Security Team; Wang Qianyuan was the commander of the Fourth Army of the Provincial Defense Army, commanding the puppet Jining Dao Security Corps and the puppet Taiyuan Rapid Construction Regiment. Han Buzhou was the commander of the Fifth Army of the Provincial Defense Army, commanding the puppet army in Datong and western Jinxi. A total of about 50,000 people were recruited. Dude, you can send this plan to them right away. ”

When Brother Su heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Chief Yan." Chief Yan is simply the reborn parent of my Sanjin children. ”

Yan Xishan said: "I have already sent a special commissioner to the above five army commanders. They set off with you, and now, they have all arrived at the station of these five army commanders. The process of incorporation is proceeding smoothly. ”

Brother Su said: "Chief Yan, there is one more thing, the junior still has the courage to bring it up. ”

Yan Xishan remained silent and said, "Say it." ”

Brother Su said: "There are some Japanese businessmen in Shanxi, and they want to ask the chief to arrange a way out. ”

Yan Xishan said: "Regarding the Japanese, I have other arrangements. However, today is not the time to talk about it. You can say my attitude to those people. ”

Brother Su saw that he had made up his mind, his face was full of joy, and he said, "That junior went to send a telegram." ”

This old brother Su followed the staff officer to send a telegram. He had just gone out when the curtain on the other wall was lifted, and a man came in.

Yan Xishan said: "Brother Aiyuan, let's discuss the next move. ”

This person is Yang Aiyuan, a Shanxi member who has always followed Yan Xishan loyally, and is the head of Yan Xishan's thirteen Taibao.

Yan Xishan's thirteen Taibao are Yang Aiyuan, Sun Chu, Liang Peihuang, Yang Chengyuan, Fu Zuoyi, Wang Jingguo, Zhao Chengshou, Li Shengda, Li Fuying, Chu Xichun, Lu Yinglin, Dong Yingbin, and Chen Changjie.

Now, under the pull of Lao Jiang, Fu Zuoyi has become a major member of Suiyuan, and most people such as Yang Aiyuan are still actively following Yan Xishan.

Yang Aiyuan said: "This time, the situation in Shanxi is developing too fast, which is completely beyond our expectations. By the time we began to prepare for the defeat of the Japanese army, they were already at war. Fortunately, the various units have taken active action and finally saved some of the situation, and at present, we have recovered more than a dozen county seats, and several large cities in Shanxi have been surrounded by us. ”

Yan Xishan said: "The Eighth Route Army has been transporting Soviet weapons from the northeast in recent years, which should not be underestimated. However, we also have American-style gear. As long as we recover Datong, Taiyuan and other large cities, then we will have the foundation to control Shanxi. ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "The most important thing is that the Shanxi Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army is willing to cooperate with us, and they resist the Eighth Route Army to the end, but maintain a peaceful posture with us, so that we can concentrate on occupying territory. ”

Yan Xishan said: "However, we also have a price, why do we have to accommodate Japanese soldiers and Japanese businessmen." Except for a few high-ranking Japanese officers, everyone else had to arrange a way out. The arrangement of the Japanese is a trouble, be careful. ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "There are new troubles. ”

Yan Xishan said: "What new trouble? ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "The Japanese army in Taiyuan has put forward a new request, asking us to put a road and let the Japanese army in Beiping come to Shanxi. ”

Yan Xishan said: "Come to Shanxi? The Japanese in Shanxi are strong, will they obey our arrangement? When was this brought up? ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "It was when you just met Mr. Su that they sent us this telegram. ”

Yan Xishan took the telegram, read it twice, then remained silent and began to think.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Xishan said: "It's not a bad thing, now, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi is too strong, and some Japanese have come, which can be regarded as a containment." ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "However, it is very likely that they will bring in the scourge of the Northeast Coalition Army. He thought to himself, three eggs are difficult enough, how can I get another egg? I can't do this dance.

Yan Xishan: "Didn't the intelligence say that the Japanese troops in Wuhan and Shanghai were massed to the north, and their Shandong base could not be saved, and the Northeast Coalition Army would come to Shanxi?" What's more, Shanxi is Peng Dehuai's territory, and someone from the northeast can't come to steal his job, right? ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "It's better to be careful. I have to guard against it. ”

Yan Xishan: "Don't be afraid. Today, we have more than 200,000 people in Shanxi, and the Japanese army, including Suiyuan and Beiping, is only more than 300,000. The Central Army in Shanxi was 200,000, and the Eighth Route Army was more than 400,000. The Northeast Coalition Army is coming in, and Hengzhi is coming. They have Soviet weapons, and these combined, they will definitely be able to defeat them. If there are Japanese, it is always advantageous. ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "The Eighth Route Army wants to eat Shanxi, even if these hundreds of thousands of Japanese, it is enough for them to gnaw for a while." So how do we reply to the Japanese? ”

Yan Xishan: "The Japanese are finished, and the hungry have become a thorn in the side of the Eighth Route Army." The Japanese can't just be left to an end. Now, if we want a higher price, the Japanese will accept it. You asked me to think about the conditions, agree to them first, and start negotiations. ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "In case I fail, how will we treat these Japanese?" ”

Yan Xishan: "Did you hear what plan they proposed?" ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "Japanese businessmen and civilians want to get national treatment before leaving. This is the first one. Some gendarmes, police officers also wanted to stay as policemen. They know it's not easy to leave. This is the third article. And then there's some Japanese officers. ”

Yan Xishan: "Officer? ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "These officers want to stay under your command and serve you. ”

Yan Xishan: "Officer, officer. Actually, that's a good thing. It's a good idea for these people to help us deal with the Eighth Route Army. If something goes wrong, you can also push it to them and let them be scapegoats. ”

Yang Aiyuan said: "Commander Gao Jian. ”

Yan Xishan studied in Japan, and was a classmate of Kenji Dohihara, and he has always had close contact with the Japanese. They almost reached an agreement in 1942, that is, on that occasion, Yan Xishan almost surrendered to the Japanese army.

On May 6, 1942, at the request of the Japanese side, Yan Xishan held an Anping Conference with An Da 23, Chief of Staff of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, and Iwamatsu Yoshio, Commander of the Shanxi Dispatch Army, in Anping Village, Ji County. The main demand of the Japanese military leaders was that Yan immediately declare his independence from the Chongqing government.

Yan was advised and warned by Wang Shiying, director of the Eighth Route Army's Office in the Second Theater of Operations, and because he saw the major changes in the international situation, especially the entry of the US troops into the war, he believed that Japan's defeat was only a matter of time. At the same time, he felt that the traitor would be left behind for 10,000 years, so he took a coping attitude towards the Japanese and proposed that the Japanese side deliver the weapons and equipment promised to him in advance.

The two sides held their own views and failed to reach an agreement. Yan was hijacked by the Japanese and escaped during his lunch break.

In order to punish Yan Xishan for escaping in the Anping Conference, the Japanese army took advantage of the fact that the 34th Army of the Yan Department was rushing to collect summer grain in the Fennan area, and the Qingshui Division in Linfen mobilized troops to attack the army in an all-out way, and the commander of the 34th Army, Wang Qianyuan, was wounded, and the commander of the 45th Division, Wang Fengshan, was killed, and the troops fled to the mountainous area of Fenbei one after another.

The Japanese army still threatened to attack Jixian, but Yan Xishan panicked even more, and hurriedly wrote to Iwamatsu Yoshio, saying something "I hope you don't regard those who sympathize with you as enemies." Only then did the Japanese army stop attacking, but soon besieged the "requisition" troops of the cavalry army in the Xiaoyi area, and Zhao Rui, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, and Yang Cheng, commander of the 4th Cavalry Division, surrendered to the enemy at the same time.

Since then, the two sides have continued to use each other. The Japanese army knew that Yan Xishan was stationed in Kenanpo, but they did not attack him.

After the sudden strong attack of the Eighth Route Army, Yan Xishan had no choice but to contact the Japanese and play the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

To this day, he still believes that the Northeast Coalition Army was armed by the Soviet Union.

At this time, his staff officer came. What the staff officer handed him was a report on the Northeast Coalition Army, which was synthesized by the spies from Shanxi after collecting information in the liberated areas of northeastern Hebei.

Yan Xishan was going to calm down and go to study bargaining with Japan. But when I got this report, I only read a paragraph, and I couldn't put it down. After reading for two hours, I finished reading it for the first time, and then I studied it over and over again.

By midnight, he had figured out the whole report. His question gradually formed: Is the purpose of the Northeast Coalition Army Shanxi? If they want to annex Shanxi with the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, can I stop it?

The Japanese defeated the Soviet army, and the Northeast Coalition defeated the Japanese in turn. Can my army win against the Northeast Alliance?

******

1, Yan Xishan incorporated the puppet army, which is indeed a historical event, which happened in 1945. At that time, Yan Xishan also contained many Japanese soldiers. It is also true to invite a famous traitor in Shanxi to serve as a senator.

2. On August 30, 1945, Yan Xishan returned to Taiyuan. The traitors held ceremonies and welcomed them with great fanfare. The traitor Wang Xiang jointly issued a notice to calm the people: "On the orders of Chief Yan, everything is as usual, and there must be no passivity." Soon, Yan Xishan took Japanese war criminals such as Michitake Yamaoka, Hiroshi Shirono, and Iwata as advisers, especially he also appointed Major General Itai, a Japanese prisoner, as the commander of the garrison of Taiyuan City, and swaggered through the city for half a year to suppress the people of the victorious country as prisoners of war.
