Chapter 450: Layout Incitement (4)
Under the protection of more than a dozen senior men with thick northeastern accents, this adjutant of Yang Aiyuan's department, who had fled to Beiping, held a news conference and said in front of many Chinese and foreign reporters, "Yan Xishan did fly to Datong on his own plane, and this is what he saw with his own eyes." ”
The adjutant also said, "Although the person who flew the plane was wearing civilian clothes, he could still clearly feel that the pilot was a soldier based on his many years of military life." Because he was not ashamed of Yan Xishan's collusion with the long-standing humiliation of our Chinese people, he voluntarily and secretly came to Beiping with the help of his fellow villagers. It was not at all as Jin Suijun said, he was kidnapped by the Fourth Route Army. ”
Because of the appearance of this adjutant, it was completely confirmed that Yan Xishan returned to Datong on the plane.
However, there is a problem in this way, that is, the plane has trespassed into China's territorial airspace without the permission of China's political axe, which is a serious violation of China's sovereignty. And Yan Xishan returned to Datong precisely on this plane that violated the sovereignty of the Republic of China, which further confirmed Yan Xishan's act of colluding with Yu himself and being embarrassed by him.
At the same time, the "Northern Morning Post" also reprinted in full the diplomatic note sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China in Nanjing last night to the ambassador to China.
Led by the students of the Northern University and the First Normal University in the north, more than 100,000 young students from Taiyuan's major and middle schools took to the streets and began a vigorous anti-Yan demonstration.
The students typed "Resolutely oppose Yan Xishan's collusion and say that I betrayed Shanxi's interests!" "Shanxi people do not welcome Yan Xishan. "Yan Xishan must leave Shanxi as soon as possible. "Resolutely oppose the Jin Sui army to provoke war and undermine the peace of Shanxi." and a series of banners.
On the streets of Taiyuan, the students shouted slogans in hoarse voices, and at the same time distributed anti-Yan leaflets to the onlookers who cheered loudly and to the Chinese and foreign reporters who rushed to Taiyuan to cover the news.
Encouraged by the students' strong and ardent feelings of patriotism and love for Shanxi, as well as the overt or covert encouragement from other quarters, Qiao Yingxia, president of the General Chamber of Commerce of the Taiyuan Administration, led a telegram on behalf of the businessmen of the Taiyuan Administration, resolutely supporting Song Zhewu and opposing Yan Xishan's stay in Shanxi.
The mine owners headed by Liu Gongheng and Feng Qingpu, the owners of hundreds of industrial enterprises in the Taihang Administration headed by Zhou Renzhai of Zhongtian Electric Machinery Factory, Fan Xudong and Hou Debang of Taiyuan Yongli Alkali Industry Company, as well as branches and chambers of commerce and associations from all walks of life also issued telegrams, all expressing the same wish, that is, to support Song Zhewu and oppose Yan Xishan.
After that, because Jia Jingde still felt a little guilty about Yan Xishan, Song Zhewu directly instructed He Qigong and Zhao Pilian, who coordinated by He Qigong, and Zhao Pilian came forward to lead the political officials at all levels who were in office during the original Yan Xishan period in the Taihang Administration, as well as well-known people in Taiyuan, to jointly send a telegram, calling on Yan Xishan to "conform to the will of the people, for the well-being of the people of Shanxi, abandon their own selfish thoughts, go abroad to investigate, or follow Feng Yuxiang's example, and choose a place to study behind closed doors in other provinces." In order to eliminate the war and restore the people of Shanxi to live a stable and peaceful life.
After He Qigong's secret deployment, the county magistrates also personally came forward to encourage the peasants in each county to write a letter to support Song Zhewu and oppose Yan Xishan's return to Shanxi.
In order to keep their land, the peasants sincerely supported Song Zhewu, and they didn't need anyone to agitate them, but they didn't have anyone to take the lead, but now that the county magistrate has come forward, the peasants are happy to support Song Zhewu and sign a joint signature.
The peasants around Taiyuan even spontaneously organized themselves and came to Taiyuan to demonstrate and express their determination to support the Song Dynasty and oppose Yan.
Because Jia Jingde and Xu Yiqing, the two henchmen of Yan Xishan in the past, did not express their attitude towards Yan Xishan's departure or stay, the students, who were a little out of control, aimed their attacks at Jia Jingde and Xu Yiqing, demanding that Jia Jingde be removed from his post in the Northern Construction and Development Committee, and that Xu Yiqing's investment in the Taiku Railway be returned and that his post as chairman of the Taiku Railway Construction Administration be revoked.
This frightened Xu Yiqing, and Xu Yiqing hurriedly issued a statement in the "Northern Morning News" the next day, saying that he firmly supported Song Zhewu and opposed Yan Xishan. and said that he would sever all relations with Yan Xishan.
Subsequently, Xu Yiqing personally took to the streets, leading all the shareholders of the Taiku Railway Administration in Taiyuan to participate in the procession, shouting anti-Yan slogans with emotion and expressing his attitude. In view of Xu Yiqing's good performance, the students let Xu Yiqing go.
But Jia Jingde was in some trouble. Song Zhewu knew that although Jia Jingde supported him, he asked Jia Jingde to come forward to clearly oppose Yan Xishan, and Jia Jingde was still a little embarrassed.
But now the emotions of the students, even some workers and citizens, have been a little out of control, and if this matter is not dealt with in time, Jia Jingde will be under great pressure, and even some of the students' anger may be directed to himself.
Song Zhewu had no choice but to ask Zhao Pilian, who was very prestigious among the students, and Qu Yongshan, the principal of the first normal school in the north, to come forward and persuade the students, which allowed Jia Jingde to pass this hurdle.
Because of this incident, Jia Jingde admired Song Zhewu's mind even more, and he no longer had the slightest selfish distractions, and did his best to do things for Song Zhewu.
All this happened in the Taihang Administration was reported by Chinese and foreign reporters who were in Taiyuan, and the eyes of the whole country once again paid attention to Shanxi.
A few days later, other areas of Shanxi outside the Taiyuan Administration were also affected by the vigorous pro-Song Dynasty expulsion movement, first students from Linfen, Yuncheng, and Changzhi took to the streets, and then, with the connivance and support of Song Zheyuan, the peasants in the Changzhi area also marched to Changzhi to petition, demanding that the Changzhi area also implement the same land reform as the Taiyuan Administration.
Song Zheyuan, who was secretly agitating the peasants, stood up at this time and said, 'He is only temporarily stationed in Changzhi, and land reform is a matter for the political axe of Shanxi Province, and this matter must be solved by the political axe of Shanxi Province, or by Yan Xishan, who actually controls the Jin Sui army and the political axe of Shanxi Province.' If the Shanxi Provincial Government Axe handed over the local affairs of Changzhi to Song Zheyuan, then he could immediately follow the example of the Taiyuan Administration to carry out land reform. ’
The peasants were overjoyed with their expectations, and soon the landless peasants in other counties in southern Jinnan also got the exciting news.
Obtaining land is the dream and expectation of farmers, and farmers in Shanxi Province other than the Taiyuan Administration have long been envious of the land reform policy of the Taiyuan Administration.
At this time, seeing that Changzhi had already made a fuss, the peasants in Linfen and Yuncheng also went to the local government to petition one after another, demanding the implementation of land reform like the Taiyuan Administration......
