Chapter 554: The War of Resistance (3)
After Song Zhewu sent a telegram, Yang Hucheng, Song Zheyuan, Han Fuyu and others also issued telegrams or speeches one after another, strongly urging the Nationalist Government to lead the War of Resistance and recover the Northeast by force.
At the same time that political figures in various localities were issuing telegrams one after another, vying to express their attitudes, almost all the air force personnel of the Northeast Army headed by Chen Haihua, chief of staff of the Northeast Army's Air Force, and the middle and high-ranking generals of the Northeast Army headed by Qi Xingya, Li Xiangpu, Guan Yuheng, Wang Tiehan, Li Jichuan, and others, also officially issued a joint telegram in Baotou and Siping Street. In the telegram, they expressed their great dissatisfaction and disappointment with Zhang Xueliang's failure to resist the Japanese invasion, and announced that they would henceforth break away from the Northeast Army, which did not dare to resist the Japanese, and would join the Fourth Route Army, which dared to bravely resist the invaders.
The defection of his subordinates made Zhang Xueliang feel ugly, but this was still within his tolerance.
And what made Zhang Xueliang, who had been condemned by public opinion, unbearable, and what made matters worse, was that scholars and celebrities from the Northeast in the Pingjin area also came out to join in the fun at this time, and they jointly sent a telegram, in which they expressed their extreme indignation at Zhang Xueliang's disregard for the 30 million fathers and elders in the Northeast and allowing the invaders to run rampant in the Northeast land.
In particular, they also sighed greatly during the call, "Zhang Xueliang and Song Zhewu, who are both from the Northeast, why are their character and behavior so different?"
In the eyes of these people, since Song Zhewu's grandfather's grandfather is from the Northeast, then Song Zhewu is of course from the Northeast, and these scholars from the Northeast have obviously completely accepted the concept that Song Zhewu is from the Northeast. even began to be proud of Song Zhewu.
They also called on all people of insight in the Northeast to abandon Zhang Xueliang and instead support Song Zhewu, a northeasterner who loves his country and family, in the War of Resistance.
In the face of the overwhelming angry denunciation and condemnation of domestic public opinion, Zhang Xueliang endured tremendous pressure that ordinary people could not bear in pain, "grievances," and humiliation, and in order to regain some face and relieve some pressure in front of the Chinese people, Zhang Xueliang no longer mentioned that when he met with student representatives and reporters, he no longer mentioned that his non-resistance was to win the support of the League of Nations, which was conducive to the League of Nations' ruling. Instead, he talked about the need for early reunification at home, especially the unity within the Kuomintang and the unification of the outside world, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to carry out the War of Resistance, and if the War of Resistance was to be fought now, it would only suffer greater losses. The responsibility for non-resistance was suddenly put on Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei.
In addition, Zhang Xueliang wrote in a letter to He Zhuguo, commander of the Ninth Independent Brigade stationed in Shanhaiguan.
Brother Zhu Guo:
The letter was informed that because Chief Luo returned from Guangdong to Pingping, he arrived yesterday, and after knowing the situation in central Guangdong, he replied to his brother's letter. Now that the peace talks are proceeding very smoothly, my brother has sent Chief Luo to return to Shanghai immediately yesterday to attend the peace talks so that he can learn about their contents. Looking at the current situation, my brother doesn't have to go to Guangdong anymore, my brother's enthusiasm is commendable, because my brother doesn't want my brother to leave Yuguan. Therefore, Hou Yuexin, knowing that there are eyebrows, has no choice but to go to Guangdong, and he can only go. Because now we are half of the dead soldiers, the task we serve, I am afraid that my brother will go, there is no one to take care of in the brigade, and Shanhaiguan is very important, not brothers, there is no one to be able to do this great task. The most important thing now is to be truly united, and to work as one, so that we can resist strong enemies on the outside and get rid of traitors on the inside. My brother is very sad, there are really people who are not human beings, and they are really willing to be the second of Li Wanyong, and only ask for a little profit at present, and he will not cry when he says it. The lady will be evil for herself, and the latter will be evil; The kingdom will perish and the people after it will perish. It's a pity that when I was born, I saw the traitorous slaves with my own eyes, which really made me feel like I was burning, and I couldn't wait to eat the flesh of my generation. I sincerely hope that my brother, train our generals, internal and external troubles are coming, and this is a man who serves the country. The enemy country still has a negotiable discussion, and the traitorous slave must be killed. When my brother writes, the fire rises, and he doesn't rhetorical, and he knows my heart.
This letter was written for three days, and today I suddenly received a telegram from Tang Shaochuan (Tang Shaoyi's character - the author's note), and sang a high-profile (Jiang Xiaye, another new government), but it is a sigh that at this step in the world, everyone does not sacrifice everything, and is unanimous to the outside world, and it is really sad and sad, and it is not to blame that the people do not love it, and the enemy looks down on it. My brother is so heartfelt that he writes a mess, and he must burn it after reading it, so as not to fall into the hands of others, and laugh at me. If the brother has something to see for the public and private, don't be polite, and often write to him. …,
Brother Liang played by hand
Originally, Zhang Xueliang asked He Zhuguo to read the private letter that was burned immediately, but for some reason, its content was inexplicably leaked to "Ta Kung Pao". As soon as this letter was published, public opinion really began to turn again, and accusations against Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei began to increase.
Naturally, neither Chiang Kai-shek nor Wang Ching-wei was willing to bear the charge of misleading the party and the country, and the two sides began to accuse each other of ignoring the general interests of the country and blindly pursuing personal interests. However, Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei were the people, they soon realized that they had been deceived, and they turned to high-profile statements, saying that they would put the general interests of the country first, and make the greatest sincerity and efforts to resolve the dispute as soon as possible.
Just when Zhang Xueliang was able to take a breath, another incident happened, which attracted the attention of domestic and international public opinion to him again. This made Zhang Xueliang angry.
In Shenyang, which had been changed to Mukden by the Japanese army, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, shipped more than 30 wagons of Marshal Zhang Xueliang's mansion and all his valuable personal property in the Northeast Frontier Governor's Office, and pulled all three trains to Beiping, where he wanted to return them to Zhang Xueliang.
Okazaki, head of the Manchurian Railway Liaison Division, a representative of the Japanese side, told Zhang Xueliang: On the night of the Manchurian incident, unidentified armed men robbed more than a dozen public and private banks in Mukden City, including the Shuaifu and the Japanese Zhengjin Bank, and all the deposits were plundered. While protecting Zhang Xueliang's property, the Kwantung Army lost dozens of casualties. In order to show respect for Zhang Xueliang himself, he was ordered by Ben Zhuang Fan to personally send these properties to Beiping and ask Zhang Xueliang to check them.
Annoyed and angry, Zhang Xueliang was on the platform, in front of many Chinese and foreign reporters, and angrily reprimanded Okazaki loudly. In the end, Zhang Xueliang told Okazaki hoarsely, "He Zhang Xueliang will not ask for any of these belongings, and will immediately bring them all back to Shenyang as they are, the area of the three eastern provinces is larger than the four islands of Japan, and Honjo will return the three northeastern provinces to him if he wants to return them." ”
Okazaki has been in the Northeast for many years, and he knows Zhang Xueliang's temper and personality very well, and at this time, he saw that Zhang Xueliang's face was flushed, the green tendons on his forehead were all bursting, and his eyes were full of anger. Knowing that this young marshal was stimulated by Honjo Fan, he was really angry, and if he didn't do what this young marshal asked, he would probably never be able to return to the Northeast.
Okazaki was so frightened that he kept bowing again and again, and his mouth kept saying "Hai".
Angry, Zhang Xueliang waved his hand and ordered the military police to escort Okazaki onto the train, and asked the military police to escort the train to the east of Jinzhou.
Okazaki was very puzzled that Zhang Xueliang did not want these extremely valuable private properties, and even the Manchurian Railway staff and the Kwantung Army along the road were puzzled.
However, Zhang Xueliang does not want to mean that others do not want it, along the way there are status of the Manchurian Railway Japanese personnel and some senior officers of the Kwantung Army, one after another to move their favorite things off the car and take it for themselves, Okazaki can not stop it, and when he returns to Shenyang, the things on the car have been left in ten, so angry that Honjo scolded Okazaki, and then ordered Hanaya to recover these lost valuables.
According to people who knew the goods of the Northeast Army who had been inspected by the Northeast Army, the property of Zhang Xueliang's family that the Japanese transported to Beiping this time was mainly all kinds of valuable furniture, large porcelain, and a small amount of antiques and soft goods. Most of these furniture are made of precious wood such as mahogany, and a small amount is made of rosewood.
Many of the furniture in it are the imperial utensils in the Qing court that Zhang Zuolin got in Beiping that year, and there are many precious utensils that are priceless. For example, a set of rosewood books that are said to be used by Qianlong's royal family, Pu Yi once pulled a large box of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings to redeem it, but Zhang Zuolin did not agree. According to insiders, these things are worth tens of millions, to say the least.
If Zhang Xueliang left these things and took them to Shanghai for auction, it would not be unusual to sell them for 20 million. Even if Zhang Xueliang was ashamed to keep these things for himself and kept the money from the sale for military expenses, it would be possible for the Northeast Army to recover some strength in case of the War of Resistance. Or simply donate the money to the government to resettle the victims. …,
After some discussion in the media, although some mainstream media praised Zhang Xueliang for his backbone, most of the media and the people still described Zhang Xueliang as a "loser" in the street discussions.
Zhang Xueliang threw away these valuable properties without even blinking an eye, which not only made people have endless reverie about how much property the Zhang family had.
The energy of a journalist is immense, and as long as they want to dig up something, there is nothing they can't find. In just one day, a detailed list of Zhang's real estate in Northeast China, Pingjin, and Shanghai was published in the newspaper. In the face of that huge amount of real estate, the news media almost exclaimed in unison that Zhang Zuolin was actually the richest man in the Republic of China.
What's more, I don't know which reporter it was, and from which channel I learned that "at the end of 1925, when Guo Songling rebelled, Zhang Zuolin once transported 27 truckloads of gold, silver and jewelry to Manchurian Railway for storage. ”
The Japanese had investigated Zhang Zuolin's property at that time. "It was found that Zhang Zuolin had deposited cash outside Mukden, namely 4 million in the Bank of North Korea, 2 million in the Zhengjin Bank, 10 million in Tianjin, and 10 million in the Shanghai HSBC Bank." "The bills deposited by the two banks of Fengtian 'Manyin' and 'Zhenglong' should be in the amount of one million yuan and one and a half million yuan." Given Japan's well-developed intelligence system, this set of figures should be accurate. From these banks alone, it can be seen that some of Zhang Zuolin's deposits, that is, liquidity, are at least 28.5 million yuan. But this is only a deposit in Zhang Zuolin's personal name, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of deposits in the name of his wife and children. Public opinion estimates that Zhang Xueliang Jiu. The family property before the 18th incident should be in the billions.
Just when the matter of how much property Zhang Xueliang had was hyped by the media, it was thought that it was for the pursuit of star effect, and the turmoil between Zhang Xueliang and Butterfly made waves again.
First of all, the star film company issued a statement on the "Declaration" for two consecutive days, refuting the rumors that about the nine. On the night of the 18th Incident, the fact that the butterfly was dancing with Zhang Xueliang was completely false, but no conclusive evidence was provided.
Then, famous directors, screenwriters, actors Zhang Shichuan, Hong Shen, Zheng Xiaoqiu and others also published notices to justify Hu Die. However, because they were not in Peking at the time, they were obviously not convincing enough.
Finally, Hu Die himself also issued a statement: "Butterfly is also a member of the people, although he has not yet been able to splash the enemy with blood on his neck, how can he dance with those who are responsible for defending the land at the time of national crisis."
However, no matter how anxious Zhang Xueliang was by domestic public opinion, Song Zhewu was in no mood or even had the energy to take care of it, because Beimeng ......
Thanks to the monthly ticket of "lnwh" book friends and the reward ...... of "Dahan surname" and "this name is difficult to choose".
