Since then, Fujian has launched a vigorous large-scale production movement, under the leadership of the provincial political axe chaired by Jin Zhao, the people of the whole province have actively devoted themselves to the construction of Fujian's national defense industry, and under the call of the provincial political axe, the workers have taken the initiative to ask for overtime, extended working hours, and make every effort to prepare for the war. Just when the people of Fujian were in full swing, the storm in the north was rising.

As early as September 1933, the Nanjing political axe approved the division of eastern Hebei into two districts, and set up two administrative inspector commissioner offices in Tongxian and Tangshan respectively, Jimi and Luanyu, with Yin Rugeng and Tao Shangming serving as commissioners respectively. Tao Shangming resigned because he did not belong to the original and was rejected by the party, and in 1935, Yin Rugeng was recommended by the invaders to serve as the administrative inspector of Luanyu District, and the power of the eastern Hebei region was actually completely in the hands of Yin Rugeng. Yin Rugeng was a desperate man who openly colluded with the invaders to make the Hebei East African Military Zone a sphere of influence under the tight control of the imperialists.

On November 15, 1935, in order to cooperate with the conspiracy of "North China Autonomy", Yin Rugeng united a group of ** elements from all over eastern Hebei to send a telegram to Song Zheyuan and Han Fuyu, attacking Nanjing's domestic and foreign policies and demanding the realization of "North China Autonomy". On 23 November, under the command of Yue Ben, Yin Rugeng convened a meeting in the Tianjin Concession attended by the captains of the security guards of the demilitarized zone to secretly discuss the "autonomy" of the demilitarized zone. The next day, Yin Rugeng convened an ad hoc meeting of the counties of the demilitarized zone, the county magistrates of Baodi, Xianghe, and Changping counties, and the security captains of the demilitarized zone in Tongzhou, and issued a declaration of separation from the central government in Nanjing that night. It was decided to "separate from the central government, declare autonomy, and establish a precursor to the inter-provincial government, in order to seek peace in the East." Open treason to the enemy.

On the 25th, Yin Rugeng was appointed as the "chairman" at the inaugural meeting of the "Eastern Hebei Anti-Chi Autonomous Committee" of the Commissioner's Office, and after December, it was changed to "Eastern Hebei Anti-Chi Autonomous Political Axe", and Yin Rugeng served as the chief of affairs and "chairman." openly flaunted the banner of "self-government" of treason, and became the second **puppet** under the wing of the puppet imperialism after the puppet state of Manchukuo. The puppet "autonomous committee" declared that the 22 counties of Tongxian, Luanxian, Linyu, Zunhua, Fengrun, Changli, Funing, Qian'an, Miyun, Jixian, Yutian, Leting, Lulong, Baodi, Ninghe, Changping, Xianghe, Sanhe, Shunyi, Huairou, Pinggu, and Xinglongji, as well as Yanqing, Chicheng, and Longmen in Chahar Province, were under the jurisdiction of the "committee." In December, the puppet security team occupied Tanggu and forcibly included Tanggu and Dagu in their jurisdiction.

On December 9th, the cold wind was bitter, and the dripping water turned into ice. Under the organization and command of Huang Jing, Yao Yilin, Guo Mingqiu and others, patriotic students who participated in the petition to resist the national salvation poured into the streets. At the forefront of the team were students from Northeastern University, Huaxia University, Peking Normal University, and Municipal No. 1 Girls' Middle School. When the police authorities learned in advance that the students were going to petition**, martial law was ordered early in the morning, and sentry posts were set up in some streets. Students from Tsinghua University, Yenching University, and other universities outside the city were stopped by the military and police, and clashed with the military and police at Xizhimen. At about 10 o'clock in the morning, one or two thousand students in the city broke through the barricade of the military and police and gathered in front of the Xinhua Gate. They chanted "Stop the civil war, unite with the outside world!" **This imperialism!"" Oppose the autonomy of the five provinces in North China!" Regain the lost ground in the Northeast!" Sell**!"" Defend North China with arms!" and other slogans, expressing the call of the people of the whole country to resist and save the country. The vigorous 129 Movement broke out.

Each school temporarily elected 12 people, including Dong Yuhua, Song Li, and Yu Gang, as representatives, and submitted the original petition to He Yingqin, acting chairman of the Beiping Branch of the Political Axe Military Committee, and put forward six demands: 1. Oppose the establishment of an autonomous committee for the prevention of red flags and similar organizations in North China; 2. Oppose all secret negotiations between China and China, and immediately make public a foreign policy to deal with the present crisis; 3. Safeguard people's speech, assembly, and publication**; 4. Stop the civil war and immediately prepare for a war of self-defense against the outside world; 5. People shall not be arbitrarily arrested; 6. Immediately release the arrested students. He Yingqin avoided it.

The petition failed, and the crowd was outraged. The representatives of the schools immediately decided to change the protest to a demonstration**. The team started from Xinhuamen, passed through Xidan and Xisi, and then ran to the beach and Dongdan, and then held a student assembly. Along the way, from time to time, students from the Law Business School, the School of Medicine of Peking University, the Sino-French University, Yenching University, and other universities and middle schools that broke out of the military and police encircled joined the ranks, and the team gradually expanded to five or six thousand people. During the march, the students preached the truth of resisting and saving the country to the masses along the streets, distributed leaflets, and won the applause and support of the masses.

When the front of the ** team arrived at Wangfujing Street, and the rear had not yet walked out of the South Pond, a large number of policemen were armed with big knives, wooden sticks, and water hoses to deal with the unarmed patriotic students. The patriotic students are not afraid, and the team is still moving forward. At this time, the police turned on the water hose, and the cold water jets sprayed on the students, and then beat them with leather whips, gun handles, and wooden sticks. More than 100 students were injured in a heroic struggle with the military and police. The team was broken up. But the patriotic students, not intimidated, continued to organize strikes and demonstrations.

On December 16, when the "Jicha Political Affairs Committee" was planned to be established, more than 10,000 students and people from all walks of life in Beiping held another demonstration**, forcing the establishment of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee to be postponed. After that, the Tianjin students formed a southward propaganda group to go deep among the people to propagate resistance and national salvation. Demonstrations were held in Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Tianjin, Nanjing, Shanghai and other places. The patriotic actions of the students in Peiping have won the response of the students of the whole country and the support of the people of the whole country, forming a new movement of the people of the whole country to resist the Japanese and promoting the establishment of the anti-Japanese national united front.

In view of the strong opposition of the people of the whole country after the establishment of the "Eastern Hebei Anti-Red Autonomous Committee", Yin Rugeng was much weaker at this time. At a press conference on December 26, he claimed: "This government has decided to revise the Ming Dynasty and implement its original intention, but it will not break away from China, so it will not make its own national flag, and will only notify all countries on the 26th and announce its establishment, and will not ask other countries to recognize it, nor will it recognize other countries; However, because of its border, "Manchukuo" in fact cannot but have diplomatic relations. “

"Shameless!" Jin Zhao slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table, and said angrily, "I don't understand, Qin Hui and his wife have been kneeling there for nearly a thousand years, why are there still so many people vying to be **!" Saying that, Jin Zhao stretched out his hand to untie the military clasp, panting heavily, and the collar badge was inlaid with three shining gold stars.

Don't think that our Jin Zhao has been promoted to general because of these three gold stars, in fact, the current Jin Zhao is only a lieutenant general, to be precise, it should be a lieutenant general plus the rank of general.

In April 1931, Nanjing Political Axe promulgated the "Army Officer Rank List and Soldier Rank", which followed the military rank system during the Beiyang Political Axe, and the rank and title remained unchanged. At that time, there was no unified body for conferring military ranks, and the national political axe could be conferred, the general headquarters could confer it, the military council could confer it, and even a higher organ or military and political chief could confer it. In addition, at that time, compared with military ranks and positions, it was common for military ranks to be low, and military commanders were awarded generals. For example, Liu Heding was also awarded the rank of general when he was promoted to the commander of the 39th Army, Jin Zhao also had the rank of general when he became the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Route Army, and some local warlords also proclaimed themselves generals. In 1933, Chiang Kai-shek said in a speech at a commemorative week, "Compared with the great powers, the domestic army is now very weak in combat and has many generals, and there are too many generals." ”

In order to rectify the chaotic situation of the army's ranks and meet its military needs, Nanjing Zhengaxe decided to revise the military ranks. In July 1934 and January 1935, the Nationalist Axe reformulated the "Official Table" and "Soldier Rank Table" of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. In March 1935, a new military rank and grade list was promulgated, dividing generals into the first and second grades, and adding special generals. The entire military rank is sixth, eighteenth, and eighteen.

Moreover, the newly promulgated regulations have a limit on the number of generals in the rank of general, and the limit of one special general is for Lao Chiang. There are nine first-class generals, and a total of 22 second-class generals. In this way, because of the quota limit, many original generals can only be reassigned to the rank of lieutenant general, including Jin Zhao. In fact, according to Jin Zhao's current strength, it is more than enough to award a second-class general, but Lao Jiang deliberately squeezed Jin Zhao, saying that Jin Zhao's qualifications were too shallow, and he was only given the rank of lieutenant general.

However, Jin Zhao was not the only one who was dissatisfied, many of those who were reassigned to lieutenant generals expressed dissatisfaction with the newly introduced military rank system, and later, in order to appease public anger, the Military Commission added such a lieutenant general with the rank of general. Lieutenant general plus general refers to those who are promoted to general, because of the limitation of posts, the rank of general is added first. When the second-class general becomes vacant, the rank of general will be officially awarded. Lieutenant generals plus generals, whose uniform rank is the same as that of generals, exercise the rank of general, but the salary is still paid according to the maximum salary of the lieutenant general. It's not that I don't want to give you a general directly, but we don't have a quota. First you will be given the rank of general, and you will do the work of a general first, but we can say that there is no quota, so we will only give you the salary of a lieutenant general! That's what it means. It's cute, isn't it?

When General Zhang Zizhong was martyred, he was a lieutenant general and a general, and was posthumously awarded the rank of general (second-class general, the same below). Therefore, many people say that he is not a general, and the official propaganda of the political axe says that he is the first (and only) person to die with the rank of "general", which is how he came, so he can barely be regarded as a general with the rank of lieutenant general and general.

Jin Zhao was also awarded the rank of lieutenant general plus general, saying that after the second-level general became vacant, he could be promoted to the second-level general, but Jin Zhao knew that some people could not be promoted to second-level general until death, of course, if they died in battle, they could theoretically be posthumously awarded the second-level general, but Jin Zhao didn't want to die, anyway, the military rank and position were all false, and the rights in his hands were real, so Jin Zhao didn't care.
