191310 in June, Zhu qinglan was appointed as the civil affairs director (governor) of Heilongjiang province, and Mi Chunlin was promoted to be the director of Guandu Gold Mine General Administration of Heilongjiang Province. 19 16 In July, Zhu Qinglan, who was already a general in the army, was transferred to the governor of Guangdong, and Mi Chunlin also went south to serve as the director of the filing department of the Guangdong governor's office and the general manager of the provincial official coal bureau. Mi Chunlin helped Zhu Qinglan to clarify the official management, ban gambling and eliminate corruption, and actively supported the movement of protecting the people initiated by Dr. Sun Yat-sen 19 17. Zhu Qinglan was unable to gain a foothold in Guangdong because he offended Duan, and he was idle for a while. Mi Chunlin then returned to Fengtian, joined the team of Sun Liechen, commander of the 27th Army Division, and was gradually promoted from lieutenant colonel adjutant. Because of his outstanding ability, Mi Chunlin is highly valued by Zhang's brother. Within two years, he was promoted to the position of Colonel, Deputy Chief of Heilongjiang Governor's Office and Deputy Director of Garment Factory.
Mi Chunlin has a flexible mind. He began to take charge of military supplies in his early years and cultivated his financial management skills. 192 1 year, after Sun Liechen became the governor and governor of Jilin, Mi Chunlin soon became the director of Jilin Ordnance Factory, and later became the general manager of Harbin Quanhe Commercial Port Bureau and the chairman of Hailin Wood Industry Company. His talent was gradually discovered by Zhang and Zhang Xueliang. 1922 Spring, recommended by Sun Liechen, Mi Chunlin was appointed as the stationmaster of Wei Zhenbing Station and the director of Liangmo Factory, and was promoted to Major General of the Army. 1925, Zhang appointed Mi Chunlin as commander of the military station. 1926+0 When Feng Jun entered the customs again, Mi Chunlin was promoted to be the stationmaster of Wei Zhenbing Station and promoted to lieutenant general. 1927, Zhang Xueliang became the head of the third army of Angola and invited Mi Chunlin as the director of the resident division of the army. When signing the letter of appointment, Zhang half-jokingly said to Mi Chunlin, "Ruifeng, you are the station director of the whole army. I sent you to be the director of Xiaoliuzi's army this time, but you are overqualified. " In this regard, Mi Chunlin doesn't care at all. Good prestige and reputation made him one of the "four major munitions" of the Northeast Army.
After Feng Jun entered Beijing to control the Beiyang regime, at the suggestion of Zhang Xueliang, Mi Chunlin became the director of the Printing Bureau of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China. Although Mi Chunlin temporarily took off his military uniform, he still cared about Feng Jun's military. 1When the "Huanggutun Incident" occurred in June, 928, Mi Chunlin was extremely angry at the Japanese plot to blow up Zhang. /kloc-in June of 0/8, Zhang Xueliang returned to Fengtian from Hebei.
A week later, Mi Chunlin was also called to the viceroy's office by Zhang Xueliang to give him advice and help him cope with the complicated situation. In those dark days, Mi Chunlin became a wise strategist and confidante of Zhang Xueliang, engaged in the unpredictable diplomatic situation. After being fully prepared by the senior officials of the Feng Department,1On July 4th, 928, four senior generals of the Northeast Army, including Mi Chunlin and Xing Shilian, were appointed by Zhang Xueliang as representatives of the three northeastern provinces, starting from Shenyang and arriving in Peiping via Dalian and Tianjin to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek and others who sacrificed the spirit of Sun Yat-sen in Peiping. When Chiang Kai-shek met Mi Chunlin and his party, he expressed the hope that the three northeastern provinces could change their flags and implement the Three People's Principles. Under the international situation when the Japanese powers were eager to move, in order to safeguard the peaceful reunification of the motherland, Mi Chunlin deeply felt the necessity of changing the flag in the Northeast, so he said on the spot that after returning to the Northeast, he tried his best to persuade Zhang Xueliang to change the flag, which made great contributions to the change of the flag in the Northeast at the end of that year.
1July, 928, Zhang Xueliang felt that the Northeast Customs was lax, and appointed Mi Chunlin as the customs supervisor of Anton, in charge of all matters of Anton Customs. Mi Chunlin knows very well that this is a temporary assignment of Jong, but he still dutifully makes the customs look brand-new. Two days before the flag was changed in Northeast China, Mi Chunlin learned the news and sent someone to make a blue sky and white flag for hanging overnight, actively supporting Zhang Xueliang's patriotic reunification. 1929 65438+1On October 25th, Mi Chunlin was sent to Harbin as the director of the special police department of the three northeastern provinces, and was transferred back to Shenyang as the general manager of the three northeastern provinces in the following year.
193 1 In September, Japanese imperialism flagrantly launched the "September 18th Incident" that invaded northeast China. The Northeast Frontier Defense Governor's Office and Liaoning Provincial Government, originally located in Shenyang, were occupied by the Japanese army, and some generals and officials were stranded in western Liaoning, unable to exercise their functions and powers normally. Zhang Xueliang, who is in Beiping, is saddened by this. In order to effectively organize the anti-Japanese government to defend the Japanese army, Zhang Xueliang ordered the re-establishment of the Liaoning Provincial Government and the Commander's Office in Jinzhou. When preparing for the chairman of the provisional provincial government, Zhang Xueliang first thought of Mi Chunlin, who has been working hard and never cares about fame and fortune. Zhang Xueliang felt that in the face of national disaster, loyal ministers who "spared no expense and military officers were not afraid of death" must be selected to defend the Northeast in the future. On September 23rd, Zhang Xueliang issued an order, appointing Mi Chunlin as acting provincial chairman of Liaoning provincial government and General Huang Xiansheng as director of Liaoning provincial police department to assist in military affairs.
After receiving the task of Beiping, Mi Chunlin arrived in Jinzhou on September 27th. He joined the exiled officials of the former provincial government, recruited a group of office workers from western Liaoning, and immediately put himself into intense work. Mi Chunlin chose the teaching building of Northeast Jiaotong University (now Railway No.1 Middle School) as the office place. Because of patriotism, Mi Chunlin set up half-sun-shaped left and right fan iron gates in the middle of the school gate. Because the Japanese flag is the "sun flag", provincial government officials have to "tear the Japanese flag" every day when they open the door to show that they don't forget to resist Japan. Although the provisional provincial government didn't exist for a long time, it effectively organized the People's Anti-Japanese Volunteers and wiped out many traitors and bandits armed by the Japanese army, such as Ling and Zhang Xuecheng. Among them, Zhang Xuecheng is Zhang Xueliang's cousin, and Zhang Xueliang did not hesitate to destroy his family in order to resist Japan. His selfless tolerance for the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War left a deep impression on Mi Chunlin.
When the Anti-Japanese Government of Liaoning Province was established, there were less than 30,000 anti-Japanese armed forces concentrated in western Liaoning, and the situation was very difficult. They lack effective support and weapons and ammunition are very scarce. Jinzhou is located in the western Liaoning corridor, and there is no danger to defend. Bombed by Japanese planes from time to time, even the provincial government compound can't guarantee safety. After all the hardships, the temporary provincial government was paralyzed, and Mi Chunlin was finally unable to change the situation of the fall of western Liaoning and returned to Peiping with regret. This short career as governor is the glory of Mi Chunlin's career. However, in his later years, Mi Chunlin often complained about his poor performance during his tenure as governor. Even so, the villagers in Huangtukan area of Nanpiao are still proud and honored to have an "anti-Japanese governor" in their hometown.
Jinzhou fell in June, 1932. For the next three years, Mi Chunlin lived in Tianjin, enjoying herself by planting flowers and grass and living a leisurely life. 1934 In March, after Zhang Xueliang returned from an inspection abroad, in order to effectively solve the difficulties of refugees in Northeast China, in June of that year, Mi Chunlin and his wife were sent to express their condolences to the exiled anti-Japanese soldiers in Northeast China and their families. At the kind invitation of Zhang Xueliang, Mi Chunlin, who had been indifferent to fame and fortune, resumed his post on 1935 as the deputy director-general of the general affairs department of Wuchang Hangying. In the same year, he came to Xi 'an with Zhang Xueliang and served as the deputy director of the Northwest General Office. Soon, Mi Chunlin became sworn brothers with Ma Zhanshan, Liu Wei, Bao, Zhang and Hu Ruoyu. Because Mi Chunlin lived for a long time and was well received by the public, other generals sent him a message in Lanpu: "Sit by the side."
Faced with the continuous failure of "suppressing * * *", Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng deeply felt that there was no way out if this continued. In order to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to give up the policy of "staying abroad first", they took pains to remonstrate with Chiang Kai-shek, remonstrated with him, and even remonstrated with tears, which did not play any role. Chiang Kai-shek not only refused, but rebuked Zhang Xueliang. Chiang Kai-shek is also preparing to transfer the Northeast Army to Fujian and the 17th Route Army to Anhui, which is equivalent to driving Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to the Liangshan Mountains. Therefore, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng made up their minds to launch the Xi 'an incident and carry out "military remonstration" to force Chiang Kai-shek to stop the civil war and unite with * * * to resist Japan.
193665438+February 1 1 Day and night, Zhang Xueliang held a meeting of senior generals of the Northeast Army in Zhang Public Relations in Anjinjia Lane, Xi 'an. Mi Chunlin attended the meeting, at which Zhang Xueliang announced his plan to arrest Chiang Kai-shek. In the early morning of the next day, the arrest of Chiang Kai-shek officially began and the Xi Incident broke out. The national disaster and family feud caused by the fall of Northeast China, as well as the tragic situation of the Northeast Army scattered everywhere, prompted Mi Chunlin to deeply support the righteous actions of General Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng. He actively supported Zhang and Yang's eight political propositions of resisting Japan and saving the nation. 65438+February 65438+February 4, the Provisional Northwest Military Committee of the Anti-Japanese Coalition was established, with Mi Chunlin as the general director of the Committee. In addition to actively participating in the work of the Committee, he also launched a fund-raising campaign with 43 generals, including Ma Zhanshan, to raise money for anti-Japanese equipment. Mi Chunlin wrote excitedly in the fund-raising notice: "Since General Zhang and General Yang put forward eight proposals for saving the country, telegrams praised by all parties have rained in, and the people of the whole country are all rejoicing ... It is not difficult to recover lost territory and eliminate national humiliation ... The sacred war against Japan and glorious bloodshed are inevitable. Enemy plane bombs and poison gas will be mercilessly dropped on us. We launched a fund-raising campaign to help the government complete the establishment of a large-scale gas mask helmet factory, so as to reduce the sacrifice and bloodshed under enemy weapons, avoid the destruction and killing of enemy weapons, and thus achieve the final victory of national liberation. Now we sincerely ask all sectors of society to sponsor our actions and donate financial resources to us to complete the major task of national liberation in China. " The wording is fierce, very inspiring and shocking.
Mi Chunlin actively mediated for the peaceful settlement of the Xi Incident. Thanks to Zhou Enlai's efforts, the China delegation, Xi and Nanjing started formal negotiations on February 23rd, 65438, and achieved initial results. 65438+February 65438+April 4, Mi Chunlin, Bao, Ma Zhanshan and other five generals of the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army met with Song Ziwen, who came to Ann under the instruction of Zhang Xueliang. Song Ziwen publicly stated that he would ensure that the issues agreed in the negotiations on the Xi Incident could be realized. However, when the negotiations achieved initial victory, Zhang Xueliang gave up his life to accompany Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, but was unreasonably detained by the treacherous Chiang Kai-shek. The situation in Xi 'an is also very chaotic. Some Northeast Army generals were furious and said that they would use force to resist Chiang Kai-shek's detention of Zhang Xueliang, and asked the Central Army to advance to Xi 'an. 1937 65438+1October 8, Chang Enduo, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, and others 126 sent a telegram to Yang Hucheng, accusing Chiang Kai-shek of breaking his promise after returning to Nanjing, saying that his detention of Zhang Xueliang was "forgetting the duty of soldiers and damaging the trust of leaders." Militarily, Xi 'an has also made corresponding arrangements, and a new civil war is about to break out.
Under the pressure of all parties, Chiang Kai-shek also adopted a conciliatory attitude. After consulting with Zhang Xueliang, who had lost his freedom, he formulated two plans to solve the northwest problem, namely plan A and plan B. In order to maintain the hard-won stability, Mi Chunlin went to Nanjing to meet He with members of the 17th Route Army on June 6th, 65438, and then went to Fenghua, Zhejiang Province to meet Chiang Kai-shek, and handed over a letter from Yang to Chiang Kai-shek. 65438+ 10/3, Mi Chunlin visited Zhang Xueliang who lived in seclusion in Xuedou Mountain, Fenghua. They have mixed feelings. Zhang Xueliang wrote a personal letter to Yang Hucheng, Yu Xuezhong, Wang Yizhe and other anti-Japanese allied generals that night, which was brought back to Xi 'an by Tommy Chunlin. Although Mi Chunlin went to restore Zhang Xueliang's freedom many times later, it didn't help. The meeting in Xikou Town turned out to be his farewell to Zhang Xueliang.
After Mi Chunlin returned to Xi, he traveled back and forth between Xi and Nanjing. He and Yu Xuezhong and other generals urged the implementation of "Case A" and tried to maintain the "Trinity" military situation. Unfortunately, due to the "February 22 Incident" in which young soldiers of the Northeast Army clashed with old-school generals, Mi Chunlin ranked fifth in the hit list listed by young officers, but fortunately survived. The "February 22 Incident" eventually led to the division of the Northeast Army and the disintegration of the Trinity, thus losing the political advantage of rescuing Zhang Xueliang. The Northeast Army was forced to reorganize and moved to Anhui, Jiangsu and other places. Mi Chunlin was disheartened and left the army to return to his apartment in Tianjin.
After the Lugouqiao Incident, Ping Jin fell, and the Japanese and puppet authorities repeatedly asked Mi Chunlin to come out as a puppet, but he was unmoved and maintained national integrity. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek sent someone to invite Mi Chunlin to work in the Northeast. However, Mi Chunlin hoped that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would continue to cooperate and was chilling about Chiang Kai-shek's civil war. He still refused to come out of the mountain. He was only invited to a welcome banquet hosted by celebrities from all walks of life in Beiping during his inspection in the spring of 1946. During the dinner, he told Chiang Kai-shek that he was too old to work.
1February, 948, Mi Chunlin, Zhang, Wan Fulin and other former Northeast Army generals returned to Shenyang for a short stay. Chen Cheng, director of the Northeast Brigade Camp, gave a banquet in honor of Mi Chunlin and other generals, but Mi Chunlin was unmoved. During the Battle of Peiping and Tianjin, he declined the persuasion of some friends and Kibaki, and insisted on not going to Taiwan Province Province and staying in Tianjin for liberation. After the liberation of the whole country, Mi Chunlin was cared for by the people's government as a patriotic Democrat and died in Tianjin on 195 1.
