The news of Zhang Kai's army's announcement to join the Wehrmacht soon spread throughout the country, and also attracted widespread attention throughout the country, after all, the northeast is not peaceful now, there are both rebellions and Japanese invasions, and it is a very special place in the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Imperial Government agreed to the entry of Zhang Kai's army into the Wehrmacht, and their establishment was temporarily retained, but the number was to be changed to the 11th and 12th armies of the Imperial Northeast Army, the commander was Zhang Kai, and the salary was the same as that of ordinary soldiers of the Wehrmacht from now on. At the same time, the Northeast Military Region of the Empire was formally established to govern the military of the three northeastern provinces, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region was Zhang Zuolin, the deputy commander-in-chief Xu Lanzhou, and other cadres also quickly arranged relevant orders, and the Jilin Army was also changed to the Northeast Army of the Empire.

Qin Yu ordered Zhang Kai's army to enter Jilin immediately and obey Zhang Zuolin's command, as for the captured Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, select those diehards to be shot, and the rest will be sent to mine.

"Your Majesty, news came from Heilongjiang that Xu Lanzhou had taken refuge in Japan and was sending troops to enter at this time, wanting to attack the Northeast Army in Jilin." The intelligence officer said with a blank face.

"What, damn Xu Lanzhou, didn't he already give you a deputy commander, he was not satisfied, what agreement did he reach with the Japanese?" Qin Yu asked angrily, originally he thought that he would use the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region of the Empire to trap Xu Lanzhou, otherwise he would make trouble, but he didn't expect to take refuge with the Japanese, can he not be angry?

"The Japanese agreed to allow Heilongjiang to be autonomous after occupying the Northeast, and the officers who did not agree were imprisoned by him, and a total of seven high-ranking officers were imprisoned, do you want the empire to send someone to rescue them?"

"No need, since Xu Lanzhou keeps them, he will definitely send heavy troops to guard them, the purpose is very likely to draw out our strength in Heilongjiang, does he think that he can live in peace by taking refuge in the Japanese, let Zhang Zuolin guard against Xu Lanzhou."

"The subordinates have notified Commander Zhang, and Commander Zhang has also made corresponding moves, and he has sent Zhang Kai's army to meet it. And the Zongshe Party and Japanese spies in Mukden are not coming to a great purge, Your Majesty? The intelligence officer's eyes flashed when he said the Japanese spy. The Chinese intelligence officers and the Japanese spies secretly competed, and the Japanese intelligence officers they hated the most.

"Cleansing is necessary, one catches one, and if it doesn't work, kill them all, and now there is nothing to say with Japan!" Qin Yu said very sternly, there will definitely be no shortage of Japanese spies in the Northeast at this time, and if you catch one, you will kill one, there is nothing to say.

Less than three hours after the establishment of the Northeast Military Region, the Imperial Government of China issued a statement that Heilongjiang Governor Xu Lanzhou had defected to Japan, betrayed the country to seek glory, and abolished his post as deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial Northeast Military Region, and that the Heilongjiang army was an imperial rebel.

Xu Lanzhou became the target of everyone in the empire for a while, traitors, thieves as fathers, separatists, mutilated compatriots, traitors and other scolding voices filled the entire empire.

After receiving the news from the imperial intelligence department, Zhang Zuolin immediately ordered Zhang Kai's army to rush to block the army in Heilongjiang, because now he had no extra army to defend against Xu Lanzhou's attack, so he had to let Zhang Kai's army resist, and then wait for the arrival of the imperial army. He didn't expect Xu Lanzhou to really make up his mind to join Japan, obviously the empire had already given him a deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region, how could he not be satisfied and believe in the abduction of the Japanese, but what he didn't know was that the appointment of the empire was too late, and Xu Lanzhou had already decided to cooperate with the Japanese.

The current Northeast can be said to be a mess of porridge, first the Japanese army shamelessly invaded Jilin, and then the national defense army crossed the Liao River, the Fengtian army stationed in the Liao River was annihilated and the Heilongjiang army defected to the national defense army, Fengtian City was chaotic, Prince Su fled, the Fengtian army mutinied, Xu Lanzhou betrayed the country, etc., a series of changes were too fast, so that some people could not react.

On the evening of the day when the Chinese Empire announced the establishment of the Northeast Military Region, Feng Delin, who was stationed near the Yalu River, announced that he would join the Northeast Military Region and obey the dispatch of the commander-in-chief, Zhang Zuolin, and the empire quickly agreed.

Shanqi, who was rushing to Lushun by train, almost fainted after hearing the news that Zhang Kai's army had defected to the Wehrmacht, and he knew that the Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers in the hundreds of thousands of troops must be more than lucky.

"Bastard, those Han people just can't believe it, in the past, it was because the court relied too much on the Han that they would be replaced by the Han people, and in the future, the Qing Dynasty will never need the Han people as ministers, they are just a group of cheap slaves!"

"A group of white-eyed wolves, I spent so much energy going in, and I actually cheapened the damn Qin clan, we won't die!"

“……”

Knowing that his army didn't have much, Shanqi immediately ordered his happy army Fengtian army not to fight Feng Delin and rushed to Lushun, in this case, he couldn't care about the orders of the Japanese, without the army, he would be more controlled by the Japanese, he didn't want to be a puppet of Japan all the time!

On the train, he and a cadre of the core members of the Sect and Socialist Party planned to restore the country, and after they went to Lushun, they would restore the country with Dalian as the national capital, and they were discovered by the Chinese Empire anyway, so they simply put it on the table.

……

Xu Lanzhou smiled bitterly when he received the news that he had been appointed by the Huaxia Empire as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region of the Empire, he had already decided on Japan, and he didn't understand whether the Huaxia Empire didn't know or deliberately. Then he received news that he was now a traitor, and he smiled disdainfully.

After Xu Lanzhou informed his soldiers to defect to Japan, nearly one-third of the soldiers chose to retire, and he did not embarrass these soldiers, but paid them their salaries and let them go.

The 100,000 Heilongjiang troops were rushing towards Jilin and soon entered Jilin, but they met Zhang Kai's army in Fuyu.

The two sides held each other from a distance, and Zhang Kai recruited people to persuade them to surrender, but these Heilongjiang soldiers who were determined to follow Xu Lanzhou to Japan did not listen to persuasion at all, and they did not move for several hours.

Zhang Kai's army was the same as the Heilongjiang rebels, and there was no big difference in weapons and equipment, so both sides were in a stalemate.

After a stalemate for several hours, they all started to do so, and the soldiers of Zhang Kai's army, Shan Suzhì, were obviously much stronger than the rebels, and soon they had the upper hand.

Because of Zhao Erxun and Prince Su, the instructors of the Fengtian army all used Japanese instructors, and they pinned their hopes on these troops, so the soldiers of the Fengtian army were strictly trained by Japanese instructors. At that time, Japan also had the idea of cultivating a local army in the northeast, so it coincided with the requirements of Zhao Erxun and others, and they did not reserve the Japanese method of training soldiers to the Mukden army.

As for Xu Lanzhou's rebels, they didn't invite Japanese instructors, they were basically Tsarist instructors, but the arrogant Tsarist instructors didn't want to teach these rebel soldiers well at all, they all coped with things, so the soldiers' plain intelligence was not very strong, and it also led to the fact that their combat ability was not strong.

Although the rebels had the upper hand, the Northeast Army did not make any major progress, and it was all half-hearted. However, the Northeast Army resisted the rebels' sneak attack on Jilin Province, buying time for the National Defense Army and the Jilin Army.

When Xu Lanzhou received that the army he sent to attack Jilin encountered Zhang Kai's army and could not advance, he immediately continued to send 50,000 troops, and the Heilongjiang army at this time only added up to more than 200,000 troops, because his army in Liaohe defected to the Wehrmacht, and when he announced his defection to Japan, one-third of the soldiers chose to retire, so there were only these troops.

The remaining army of less than 100,000 was transferred by Xu Lanzhou to defend the Wehrmacht in Tsarist Russia, and he was still recruiting troops on a large scale, and even forced to pull the Zhuang Ding family to the army, he had already received a large number of weapons and ammunition from Japan, so he recruited troops on a large scale.

On September 25, Shanqi and a group of Manchu Qing relics issued the "Declaration of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" in Dalian, announcing the establishment of the Great Manchurian Empire, Prince Su was proclaimed emperor, the year name was Kant, and Dalian was the temporary imperial capital. After its proclamation, Japan recognized the Manchurian Empire for the first time, and the second was recognized by Tsarist Russia, and other countries did not recognize it.

Britain, France and other Entente countries did not recognize the Manchurian Empire in order not to anger the Chinese Empire, and Germany and the United States and other countries did not recognize it directly, and only Japan and Russia recognized it.

Historically, Manchukuo, which was not established until 1931, was nearly twenty years ahead of schedule, and the emperor was not Puyi but Prince Su Shanqi, but the capital was established in Japan, Kwantung Prefecture, and history changed.

Dalian was Japan's "territory" at this time, so Shanqi could only be regarded as a temporary imperial capital, as for why not to use the name of the Qing Dynasty and the name of the Great Manchurian Empire, it was entirely because the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still farming in Shanxi, in order to continue to fool these Manchu diehards.

Shanqi called the emperor to declare that he was only temporarily the emperor, and he would wait for them to take back Puyi and then give way, although this made those die-hard people dissatisfied, they had to accept it, after all, the current imperial family escaped from Prince Su.

The first of the Chinese Empire issued a statement not recognizing the so-called Manchurian Empire, demanding that Japan hand over Shanqi or bear the consequences. At the same time, it was also stated that the recognition of the Manchurian Empire was a challenge to the Chinese Empire, and the recognition of Japan and Russia did not count.

"Shocking news! The former Prince of Qingsu claimed the emperor in Dalian and founded the country, but the empire did not recognize it! ”

"Sell newspapers! The former Prince of Qingsu was called the emperor, and Japan was the first to admit it! ”

"The remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty founded a state in Dalian and tried to split the territory of the empire, which is simply wishful thinking!"

When the news of Shanqi's proclamation as emperor reached Guannai, the whole country was shocked, and the people were very angry, and they unanimously refused to recognize the existence of the Manchurian Empire, and the people called it the puppet Manchukuo. The Manchurians didn't dare to go out of the house now, because they were afraid of being beaten and scolded by the angry people, but they didn't dare to rebel against Shanqi, the Huaxia Empire was too strong, and it was not something they could deal with at all.

A large number of Manchu elements began to drag their families and children to Dalian by boat, following their Manchu masters, and some die-hard elements did not recognize the Manchurian Empire, because their emperor was not Pu Yi and not orthodox.

Qin Yu smiled when he got the news, this had long been expected by him, just a clown who jumped off the beam, if he wanted to stop it, he would have killed Shanqi a long time ago, he was luring those Manchu diehards to get together, and it would be a good nest in the future, after all, he also had to think about the stability of his empire and future generations.
