Renqiu Oilfield has stepped onto the stage of history ahead of schedule, which is a great variable for North China, even China and the entire world. For Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army, this is a double-edged sword, if it is handled well and fully utilized, the strength of the 29th Army is just around the corner, but if it is not handled well, it may lead to the 29th Army withdrawing from the historical stage ahead of schedule. For the Japanese, it is like a vicious wolf suddenly seeing a fat sheep, and if you want to shut it up, is it possible? In contrast to the unprecedented prosperity of the military industry, which was devastated by the Great Depression of 1929-1932, the Japanese newspapers of that period were almost daily to find news about the "suicide of so-and-so" - factory closures, workers lost their jobs, and people lived in misery, while the military industry boomed like never before, which made Japan's economic model begin to shift to a wartime constitution. However, Japan is a resource-poor country, and the abnormal development of its military industry requires large quantities of steel, coal, and oil, all of which must be imported. The "September 18 Incident" was actually planned by a few fanatics in the Kwantung Army, and the reason why the Japanese Government supported it was precisely because it took a fancy to the resources of the three northeastern provinces. Now, there is an oil field in Renqiu, can you imagine what kind of temptation this is for the Japanese who are desperate for oil fields? At present, China does not have its own oil industry, for the government of the Republic of China and Lao Chiang, having oil is equivalent to having fuel, and you can develop the coveted navy, air force, and tank troops, which is also the reason why Lao Chiang is willing to give up the forbidden army and transfer the gendarmerie troops to the military brigade.

History has entered a new track, and Ouyang Yun is getting farther and farther away from the original time and space. When he and Liang Dawei were having dinner at a small restaurant at the Guangzhou Railway Station, they couldn't help but be stunned, and said for a long time: "The Japanese have done it!" Historically, Yin Rugeng's declaration of autonomy was on November 25, but now it is nearly five months earlier.

Liang Dawei said: "There is no doubt that the Japanese must have been manipulated behind the scenes, this Yin Rugeng, relying on the relationship of his Japanese wife, has long been automatically sent to the door to become a lackey of the Japanese!" ”

"This kind of person should be killed!" Ouyang Yun said and left the chopsticks!

Liang Dawei saw that he was murderous, and said with a smile: "Do you want to go back to your old job again?" ”

Ouyang Yun saw him making fun of himself, and responded with a smile: "Everyone can punish traitors, if Brother Liang is interested, let you forget it." ”

"Chief Zeng and I were sent to Tianjin, originally to form an anti-traitor group, but we ......" Liang Dawei didn't finish his words, but Ouyang Yun knew what he was going to say, if it wasn't for his involvement, they would have successfully formed an "anti-Japanese anti-traitor group" that would be active in the Pingjin area in the future. Gu Lianyun's "betrayal" was a blow to Ouyang Yun, what he was most worried about now was that she had already taken control of the fox pupil, and then used the fox pupil to take the special service team away. The intelligence agency must be formed, and Liang Dawei may be a good candidate, he rescued himself from the gunpoint, seriously violated the orders of the Lixing Society, and has now been forced to get on his own ship. He said: "Brother Liang, as long as you really fight devils and kill traitors, I don't think the camp matters, after all, everyone is Chinese, even if there are any contradictions between them, they can be solved behind closed doors, what do you think?" ”

Liang Dawei hadn't thought about his whereabouts yet, he looked at his watch and said, "There are still twenty minutes to check the ticket, let's go in!" ”

He settled the bill, and the two of them bought some fruit or something, and walked to the train station.

At noon, at the headquarters of the first column of the Yidong Special Police in Duolun County, Chu Tiange finally met Zhang Qingyu. The Yidong Special Police Column, the first column is stationed in the Duolun area, and the second column is stationed in the Tongzhou area. Zhang Qingyu had just returned from Tianjin, and although he was too tired to do so, he heard that it was the liaison personnel sent by Commander Yu who came, so he still chose to meet him immediately.

As soon as the two met, Zhang Qingyu recognized him and said, "You are Chu Tiange?" ”

Chu Tiange knew that he must have seen his image from the newspaper, nodded with a smile and admitted, the two sides connected the code, Chu Tiange said the purpose of his trip, and asked him to take time to go to Renqiu, first, to get back the salary and equipment, and to see if he could help the Cadet Brigade bring new recruits.

Zhang Qingyu was anxious about the future way out of the troops, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and then took Chu Tiange to inspect the troops below. Most of the soldiers in the special police column are from the former Northeast Army, and they have a strong anti-Japanese sentiment, and the rampant Japanese puppet army in the Yidong area has long caused their dissatisfaction, plus Yin Rugeng declared autonomy at this time, many people think that they are going to fall into a puppet army and a traitor, and the army's heart is shaken, which makes Zhang Qingyu feel a headache. Chu Tiange, as a liaison officer sent by Yu Xuezhong, is equivalent to the role of "commissioner", and he can help calm the military spirit that is currently a little shaken.

Chu Tiange followed Zhang Qingyu along Duolun all the way to the east, and when he inspected a column, an interesting thing happened in Xianghe County, which is not far east of Beiping!

On June 29, more than 1,000 Chinese peasants dressed as peasants led by six Japanese held a demonstration in the county town of Xianghe, distributing leaflets against Lao Jiang ** and celebrating autonomy, and occupied the county government at noon, denouncing the county government officials as Lao Chiang's lackeys and wanting to arrest them for public trial. Chang Wang, the magistrate of Xianghe County, had no choice but to ask the Public Security Bureau for help and ask them to send troops to suppress it. However, because Fang Tianlin, the head of the county security brigade, had already signed the treaty in favor of Yidong's autonomy, and the security brigade refused to carry out the order of the county public security bureau, the chief of the public security brigade had no choice but to ask Zhang Zizhong's department for help, and Zhang Zizhong wanted to send a battalion of soldiers to stabilize the situation, but was blocked by the North China garrison under the pretext that the Chinese troops were forbidden to enter the armistice zone.

Clear-eyed people can see at a glance that this incident that happened in Xianghe was manipulated by the Japanese behind their backs, and the reason why they wanted to come out like this was purely to make it easier for Yin Rugeng to fully control Yidong. The day after Yin Rugeng announced the autonomy of Yidong, he organized celebrities and people of insight in the county to hold a meeting to bitterly criticize Yin Rugeng's move as a traitorous act. The Japanese were afraid that Chang Hopeful would cause the counties to follow suit, so they decided to strike first and make an example, so they planned the farce above.

On the same day, there was another incident, Lao Jiang met with Qin Dechun at the Meilu Villa in Guling, Lushan. Lao Jiang originally invited Song Zheyuan to meet, but Lao Song was afraid that it would be a Hongmen banquet, so he shirked it because he was ill and let Qin Dechun go.

Lao Jiang summoned Song Zheyuan at this time, and did three things: first, the situation in North China, hoping that the 29th Army could take into account the overall situation, not be bewitched by villains and Japanese, and declare autonomy; The second is to explain the transfer of the cadet division (brigade) to the 51st Army. Of course, both the parties concerned and outsiders know that the transfer of the cadet division to the 51st Army is false, and the inclusion of Renqiu in the hands of the Nationalist Government is true. Finally, it expounded the importance and determination of the central government on the reform of fiat currency.

The reason why the government of the Republic of China wants to carry out legal tender reform is, first, because of the impact of the international financial situation. The economic crisis that broke out in the capitalist world from 1929 to 1932 caused the major capitalist countries such as Britain, Germany, Japan, and Canada to abandon the gold standard in an attempt to transfer the crisis to the silver-using countries. In response to this, the United States abandoned the gold standard in March 1933, devalued the dollar, and unilaterally violated the "silver agreement" adopted by the eight major silver-producing and silver-using countries in the world in July 1932 to purchase silver at a high price in the international market, in an attempt to transfer the economic crisis of the United States to the Chinese people by "raising the price of silver, that is, to increase the purchasing power of 40,000 people," which directly led to the rise in the price of silver in the international market. Before 1935, silver and silver dollars were general commodities in the international market and currency in China. The rise in silver prices in the international market has caused a large outflow of Chinese silver, which has directly caused the following serious consequences: first, domestic people are panicking; Second, China's foreign trade is seriously over-exceeded; Third, the monetary system is tight, the market turnover is not effective, and banks, money banks, and firms have closed down one after another; Fourth, there is a shortage of currency and prices are falling. This directly triggered this year's silver boom, which forced the Nationalist government to make changes in response, deciding to reform the currency system in order to cut off the serious impact of the ups and downs of silver prices in the international market on China's financial market.

Second, it is to guard against Japan's strategic need to expand its aggression against China. After the September 18 Incident in 1931, the Nanjing Nationalist Government, although blindly relying on the League of Nations, fantasized about resolving the Northeast issue through international mediation and a compromise solution. However, in the face of Japan's disregard for the norms of international law and its aggressive trend (Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations and the Treaty on the Limitation of Naval Armaments for National Defense has made its own defense status more isolated and economically and politically besieged by the international community. At that time, the countries involved in the encirclement were Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union), after all, they did not want the Japanese to annex all of China. Under these circumstances, Qian Changzhao (then vice minister of education of the Nationalist Government) proposed to Chiang Kai-shek to organize a national defense design committee. Qian's original intention was positive, and he believed that sooner or later Japan would invade China on a large scale. In order to make early preparations for a war and take precautions, he proposed organizing a special organization and hiring a group of scientific and technological experts and professors to conduct investigations, research, and the formulation of relevant plans for national defense construction. Among the first batch of 39 members of the National Defense Design Committee, there were representatives of bankers and financiers such as Xu Xinliu and Wu Dingchang, and it was precisely because of the activities of these bankers and financiers that the Nationalist Government incorporated the issue of currency reform into the "national defense design."

Third, with the success of the "abolition of the two yuan and the reform of the yuan", the national government has obtained the technology of fiat currency reform. The so-called "abolition of the two yuan and the change of yuan" is an important measure that stipulates that from April 6 of that year, all receipts and payments, transactions and contractual bills of public and private funds shall be made in silver dollars, and the use of silver taels will be stopped. The smooth implementation of the "abolition of the two yuan and the change of yuan" has realized the uniform shape, weight and fineness of the silver dollar throughout the country, greatly simplified the types of currency, and improved the disordered state of China's currency market. It also cleared the way for currency disorder to abolish coins in China and further implement fiat currency reform.

Fourth, the reform of the government of the famous country has won the appreciation of Britain, the United States and other major Western countries, and has been supported by their technical skills, among which the representative figures are the United States' Gamal and Younger, and the British Li Zi? Ross and other economic experts.

Chiang's original plan was to announce a currency reform later this year, but due to Japan's aggressiveness in North China and the maturity of its skills, he decided to push ahead of the reform.

Lao Jiang's style of life is still quite simple, and he only entertains Qin Dechun with four dishes and one soup. During the banquet, Lao Jiang Tui exchanged views with Qin Dechun on the current situation at home and abroad, and said in a serious manner: The current national defense construction has not yet been completed, and it is impossible to resist Japan in an all-round way, and it is necessary to gain time, and the longer it is maintained, the greater the contribution to the country, and it is necessary to endure humiliation and bear the burden, but this matter can only be told to Commander Song and not to others; Oil is a strategic resource, related to the lifeblood of the country, if the country wants to develop, the army wants to be strong, only by firmly controlling it in the hands of the central government can it play its due role, please tell this to the commander of the Song army, I hope that the generals of the 29th Army must focus on the overall situation and understand the painstaking efforts of the central government; As a member of the national army, the 29th Army should abide by the decision of the central authorities and do its best to carry out this reform, so as to cut off the way for Japan to plunder the wealth of North China and destroy the economy of North China.

Historically, Qin Dechun changed his opinion of him precisely because of Lao Jiang's heartfelt words, so he followed the "central government" with iron heart until the army retreated to Taiwan. However, perhaps because of Ouyang Yun's appearance, or because Renqiu Oil was discovered in advance, his perception of Lao Jiang's words was completely different, so he did not be moved by the five-body surrender as described in the historical script, and swore allegiance to the death, but took the opportunity to propose that since the 29th Army is a member of the National Army, and the central government has recognized its status in North China, then it should fully believe in the 29th Army and completely hand over Hebei to the 29th Army to take care of, and vaguely proposed that the central government can strengthen the armament of the 29th Army. It was able to maintain the stability of the situation in North China, and the cadet division was still handed over to the 29th Army for management.

Lao Jiang was very unhappy when he saw that Qin Dechun was so ignorant, but as a leader, he was not easy to have the same knowledge as Qin Dechun, so he proposed that the central government could subsidize the 29th Army with considerable military resources and lose the loss of the cadet division, but the cadet division must be transferred to the establishment of the 51st Army.

Qin Dechun did not dare to tear his face with Lao Jiang in person, so he had to say that he could not be the master of this matter, and he had to go back and ask Song Zheyuan and other generals of the 29th Army to make ideas, but after he returned, he would try his best to explain and understand the good intentions of the chairman, hoping that the chairman would rest assured that the generals of the 29th Army would certainly not fail the expectations of the central authorities and would be able to firmly control North China in the hands of the Chinese.

He said this trickily, and the old Jiang Zhilu said that it was also the truth, so he had no choice but to entertain him and then his lover politely sent him back to Beiping.
