Xiao was introduced to join the Northwest Army. He has served as the county heads of He Lin County and Wuyuan County in Suiyuan Province, including Mayor An and Director of Military Law Department Daoyin. And as a representative of the nationalist army, he went to work in the Soviet Union for some time. The leaders of the nationalist army, big and small, all worshipped each other as brothers to win over each other. Therefore, Xiao was called "Brother Xiao" in the Northwest Army, and the group believed in Lai.
Xiao and Feng turned against each other at 1927 and 1928 when Feng was "cleaning up the Party" in the northwest. Xiao Shi released more than 3000 young people arrested out of indignation and humanity. Famous people include Yu Zhenying, Li Zijian and Chen Jianmin. Feng violated military orders and suspected that Xiao colluded with Sue to kill Xiao. Xiao Desong, Yuan Zhe, Ma Hongbin, Men Zhizhong, Feng Zhian and others supported him, while Wen Chenglie and Zhang Shusheng made excuses. The two became enemies from then on. Feng repeatedly made mistakes in "uniting the Soviet Union against the Soviet Union", "throwing himself into the river" and "uniting Yan against Yan", and collapsed under the defection of military generals. But I've never been alone waiting for an opportunity. When Xiao established political power in North China, Feng contacted Xiao through Wen Chenglie, the special envoy of Xiao's mother's birthday party, with a personal letter and a gift, but Xiao still repeatedly refused the person recommended by Feng and refused Feng's intervention, which made Feng hate his guts. When Jiang Zi was concurrently the commander-in-chief of the First Theater since the Anti-Japanese War, Xiao was the general adviser and Feng was the deputy commander-in-chief of the First Theater. At that time, most of the front lines were former generals of the nationalist army, and Feng actively wooed them and took the opportunity to set up a mountain again. Xiao reminded everyone that in the autumn of national survival, it is not allowed to split and exclude Feng's ambition. People unanimously rejected Feng. Send someone to assassinate Xiao San. At Botou Station, Xiao temporarily changed to take a bus to the garrison. After Xiao left his car, it was shot and killed by Feng Zhi's plainclothes team. Huo Zhanyi, a soldier and staff officer of the Car Guard, was injured, and the matter was made public. Feng was dismissed. 1943, Zhang Shusheng gave a letter from a Chongqing disciple, saying that he was the captain of Fengwei and was ordered to take people to the front to assassinate Xiao. Because his uncle was released by Xiao in the nationalist army; So there was no ambush. 1943 On his birthday, Feng went to celebrate his birthday and met Xiao. Feng showed his kindness to Xiao, but Xiao refused in public and became a joke. /kloc-in the summer of 0/930, Jiang, Feng, Yan and Gui fought in the Central Plains, and the Northwest Army collapsed. Zhang Xueliang was entrusted by Chiang Kai-shek to preside over the military and political affairs in North China and deal with the aftermath of Feng and Yan. Xiao Zhenying made many cronies in the Northwest Army, which was quite popular. People urged Xiao to call the rest of the people and rectify the army. Xiao held a meeting of nationalist army officers in Yuncheng attended by Zhang Zizhong, Zhao, Zhao, He Jifeng and Zhang. Many people want to take Xiao as the leader or Zhang Zizhong as the leader, but Xiao Li pushed his way through the crowd and advocated Song as the commander-in-chief of the new army. Xiao was appointed as a member of the Military Commission and was ordered to "ask Zhang Xueliang for instructions". Xiao immediately invited Zhang Wei to Tianjin, and Zhang Xueliang made this unit the third army of the Northeast Border Guard and appointed Song as the commander. Xiao was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff, Deputy Commander of the Armed Forces and Director of Military Advocate General. 193 1 year, the Ministry changed its designation to 29 army of the National Revolutionary Army. General He Jifeng said: Xiao Zhenying was "the founder of the 29th Army", and the officers and men agreed that Xiao was the first person to create the 29th Army.
At the beginning of 1932, 29 army entered Chapu province. In August, Xiao was appointed as a member of the Beiping Branch of the Military Commission. At the beginning of the following year, the Japanese army invaded Jehol Province, and Xiao represented the 29th Army in a military meeting chaired by Chiang Kai-shek himself. In March, Jehol province fell, and the Japanese invaders invaded the Great Wall on a large scale. Twenty-nine army soldiers were divided into three ways. After the victory of the night raid on the enemy camp, it continued to expand the results, recaptured the highlands, annihilated more than 5,000 enemy troops, and hit the Japanese hard, which was praised by the Chinese people.
From 65438 to 0934, Xiao served as acting chairman of Chahar Province. 1On October 26th, Xiao was explicitly appointed as the chairman of Chahar province.
1935, in 65438+February, Xiao was appointed as the mayor of Tianjin, and in the following year, in 65438+1October, Xiao was also the chairman of Jicha Economic Committee.
During the period from 1935 to 65438+February to 1936, when Xiao was the mayor of Tianjin, he ordered the reduction or exemption of 74 taxes such as river donation and human donation, and made a plan to build farmland water conservancy. In his many contacts with Japan, Xiao insisted on the principle of sovereignty and refused to build Jiancang Stone Railway and set up Tianjin Electric Power Company.
After the incident, Xiao reconciled the contradiction between saving with human feelings and fighting with soldiers, and went to the Soviet embassy to negotiate and asked the third international for help. After Jiang Huining, Xiao reported on the political situation in North China. 1937, he was appointed as economic envoy, accompanied by secretary Zuowei Liu, acting president of Northeastern University, who made a special trip to Europe and America.
After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Feng Xiao and Jiang Dianru returned to China via the United States and the Philippines. 1937 arrived in Shanghai in early August. After Jiang Ning's visit, he served as General Staff of the First Theater (Jiang Zi served as Commander-in-Chief). Later, he went to the front line of North China to comfort the officers and men of the 29 th Army who resolutely resisted the war in the name of the theater chief, and expanded the army into the first army, with Song as the commander-in-chief; At the same time, the Wan Fulin Department of the former Northeast Army, the Pang Bingxun Department of the Northwest Army, Zhang Department and the former political enemy Shi Yousan Department all returned to the first war zone. 1in the spring of 938, the first war zone was replaced by Cheng Qian as commander-in-chief, and Xiao remained in the general staff meeting. In winter, Wuhan fell and was transferred from the first war zone, and Xiao was evacuated to Chongqing with the National Government. 1938 at the turn of summer and autumn, the Japanese Ministry of War judged: "Before attacking Hankou, it is expected that the National Government will propose peace talks, and after attacking Guangzhou, it is expected that the National Government or a third country will propose peace talks one after another." Therefore, the military department took "Xiao Zhenying's work" as the code name, led and instigated another political temptation to the National Government. He Zhiying II is the host of Xiao Zhenying's Work. In June of the same year, he was ordered to go to Hong Kong, trying to get through the negotiation channels with Chiang Kai-shek through Xiao Zhenying who was stranded in Hong Kong.
1In late August, 938, Xiao Zhenying went to Macau to meet He Zhi, accompanied by his fellow countryman and translator He Zhiying. After establishing contact, Xiao Zhenying reported to He and Jiang for instructions. On 26th, Lei Sishang returned to Hong Kong with "secret instructions" from Chiang Kai-shek and Ho. The "secret instructions" include three documents to be submitted when negotiating with Japan: the main contents are: the Japanese side first issued a peace declaration, and the Chinese side subsequently issued a declaration in response; The two sides formally signed an armistice agreement; After the armistice, the state before the July 7th Incident should be restored. Representatives of both parties shall negotiate directly separately. At the same time as the armistice agreement was established, the two governments formally ordered the cessation of all military hostilities and discussed the withdrawal of troops to restore the country before the July 7 Lugouqiao Incident. The Japanese government absolutely respects China's territorial sovereignty and administrative integrity, and the China government and Japan seek friendly cooperation between the two countries; All the losses in the incident do not compensate each other. Ray and Xiao talked all night. On the 27th, Xiao Zhenying held talks with Kazuo. Hsiao Hsien explained the intention of the central government of China as follows: If there is a plan and sincerity, China will also respond with sincerity. Direct negotiations between the two sides, without the intervention of a third country; Now that the Japanese army is attacking Wuhan, the most important thing at present is to "stop the army and restore the state before the July 7th Incident". In the future, we will be able to achieve economic cooperation and diplomatic consistency; China's domestic defense of communist party "can do it yourself"; China respects the territorial integrity of its administrative sovereignty and will never interfere in China's internal affairs. He Zhi said: This is consistent with Japan's understanding in principle. On the 28th, according to He's new telegram instruction, Xiao Zhenying declared to the Japanese side that no agreement would be negotiated until the state before the July 7th Incident was restored. The armistice agreement can only stipulate the time and place of the armistice, as well as the procedure, month and date of Japan's withdrawal and restitution before July 7, and cannot attach other matters; China will never stop fighting until an armistice agreement is signed; Military agreements must never be mentioned again before the status quo before July 7 is restored. He Zhi left Hong Kong that night and flew back to Tokyo. It is allowed in advance to reply to inform the Japanese side of its final position before June 10.
1938, 10 "Xiao Zhenying's work" was included in the work category of the Japanese government and military departments to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek's regime. 6543817 October, the Five-Phase Meeting issued an instruction to Lieutenant General Kenji Junyuan, who was in charge of strategic work, saying: "Your official's task should remain the same as before, and should be centered on the disintegration of Jiang's regime", and specifically pointed out that three tasks should be carried out: "Work for peace through Xiao Zhenying and Gao Zongwu respectively, and work for Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi." /kloc-at the beginning of 0/0, He Zhi heard the news from Tokyo that it was going well, and Xiao Zhenying sent a telegram to Lei Sishang. Why did you call from Shanghai to know that 15 can go to Hong Kong?
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek personally prepared for the "peace talks" between China and Japan. He personally revised the outline of abdominal cases submitted by He. Jiang finalized the following contents of the meeting document: regarding the publication of the "Peace Declaration", it is proposed that the Japanese side should be the Minister of Security and the Chinese side should be Xiangxi; Draft the original declaration to China and reiterate: "China is a peace-loving country. If Japan can make peace with sincerity, it should respond with sincerity"; Regarding the armistice agreement, the signing place was changed to Fuzhou or Kowloon; With regard to withdrawing troops and restoring the status quo before the July 7th Incident, I hope to withdraw troops in three phases, one month each, from the date of signing the armistice agreement, and restore the status quo before the Lugouqiao Incident when the third phase is completed. On the issue of "Manchukuo", Jiang put forward three principles: first, Japan automatically abolished "Manchukuo", and Japan retained all the old and new privileges of the four northeastern provinces, but recognized the suzerainty of China; Second, China recognized the autonomy of the four northeastern provinces in exchange for Japan's cancellation of all privileges in China; The third is the temporary reservation ("Manchukuo"), which will be discussed when the non-aggression treaty is negotiated.
On June 5, 2005, He Zhi returned to Hong Kong and the two sides held the second phase of talks. He Zhi proudly revealed the principle he talked about last time. Only the head of the army province and the chief of staff agree. This time, all cabinet members agreed. Starting from the emperor, they all hope to make a quick decision. Xiao Zhenying took the opportunity to ask He Zhi about the Japanese landing in South China. He Zhi replied that the Japanese army had been preparing for half a year. Peace talks were held in Tokyo, hoping to suspend the landing, but it was not accepted by the Japanese Central Committee.
In the June 5438+05 talks, He Zhi put forward new requirements: if China practices anti-communism, secret agreements are acceptable; In the future, Japan will station troops on the border in Mongolia and abroad; Adjust the central government of China to allow people close to Japan to participate; Dispose of key personnel of pseudo-organizations as appropriate; The recognition of Manchukuo can be ignored for the time being, and cooperation will be solved in two or three years. Xiao Zhenying thought that all the requirements put forward by He Zhixin were beyond the scope of the last meeting, so he sent an urgent telegram to Hankou to ask for instructions. How to call back, four "never admit" If the Japanese side mentions it again, it can be seen that it is not sincere. Deadline is 65438+ 10: 00 on October 20th, and it will be abandoned after the deadline. And reminded Xiao Zhenying: "After the invasion of Guangdong, the internal and external situation has changed greatly, and there is no room for leisurely operation."
On June 5th, at 438+09, Xiao, Lei and He Zhi talked for seven hours. Xiao Zhenying believes that the result is generally close to the outline of the China Abdominal Case, but there are still some differences, such as the withdrawal of troops, which are left to the official delegation for consultation. On the issue of preventing the Communist Party, Xiao said that there is no need to mention China's own Qing Communist Party; Pseudo-organization processing, and know that things are complicated. Both sides agreed to ask for instructions separately. If an agreement is reached, an armistice agreement must be signed before 165438+ 10/0, otherwise the talks cannot continue. He Zhi left Hong Kong for Japan on 20th.
1 938165438+1October1day, He ordered Xiao Zhenying to fly back to Chongqing immediately. First, shortly after the talks, the Japanese army captured Guangzhou on June 2 1 and Hankou on June 25, which proved that the Japanese side had no sincerity for peace. Second, Feng Yuxiang, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, exposed Xiao Zhenying's negotiation activities with Japan in Hong Kong in Chongqing. Embarrassed, Chiang Kai-shek sent Xiao back to Chongqing to cover up the accusations from all sides. At present, the "Gao Zongwu Work" instigated by the Military Department has made substantial progress. 165438+1October 3, the Prime Minister of the Guards issued a statement that "the National Government will not refuse" for the second time. 1 18 10 18, the head of the military department officially canceled "Xiao Zhenying's work" through the policy of the autumn war in the thirteenth year of Showa (1938). /kloc-in the summer of 0/940, Xiao learned from his friends that Jiang wanted to harm him, so he resigned from his military and political position and settled in Xishan New Village Apartment (formerly Linsen Mansion), a cave dwelling in the suburbs, and devoted himself to social, economic and cultural public welfare undertakings, but he also kept in touch with the frontline troops. He Jifeng was detained and examined for going to Yan 'an, and Xiao Ceng came forward to defend him so that he could return to the front. Xiao also often participated in the personnel and military and political planning of the former 29th Army, the former Northeast Army and the former Sichuan Army. 194 1 year, Xiao organized a salvage company in Chongqing. Later, he founded Daming Company with some former generals in 29 army and fellow villagers in Northeast China. 1942, with the support of Liu, Pan Wenhua, Du and others, Datong Bank was established, with Xiao as the chairman and more than ten branches. In the same year, together with Yan Baohang, Gao Chongmin and others, he founded the Victory Founding Meeting. 1943, Northeast Songhua River Middle School was established, and more than 500 exiled students from Northeast China entered school free of charge. Later, he founded the Northeast Children's Rehabilitation Institute and adopted more than 500 children in Northeast China for free. In addition, there are industries such as Dawen Bookstore.
1945 After the Japanese army surrendered in August, Xiao agreed with the directors and shareholders to transfer some industries to. 1in the spring of 946, the Xiao family moved back to Beiping, and Xiao himself was still committed to Datong Bank and other industries.
1947 In May, Xiao suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. After several days of coma, he died in Beiping at the age of 57. Li Zongren, Yu Youren, Cheng Qian, Fu, former Northeast Army veteran Mo Dehui, important general Ma Zhanshan, former 29 army general Liu Ruming, and He Jifeng wrote poems and elegies in succession to show their mourning.
