Hayotning boshlang'ich davri

Bolalik

U kech tug'ilgan Tsin sulolasi yilda Vutay okrugi, Sinchjou, Shanxi, avlodlar davomida bankir va savdogar bo'lgan oilaga (Shanxi 19-asr oxiriga qadar ko'plab muvaffaqiyatli banklari bilan tanilgan). Yoshligida u bir necha yil otasining bankida mahalliy qishloq maktabida an'anaviy Konfutsiy ta'limini olib borishda ishlagan. 19-asr oxirlarida Xitoy iqtisodiyotini vayron qilgan depressiya tufayli otasi vayron bo'lganidan so'ng, Yan Manchu hukumati tomonidan boshqariladigan va moliyalashtiradigan bepul harbiy maktabga o'qishga kirdi. Taiyuan. Ushbu maktabda o'qiyotganda u birinchi bo'lib to'g'ridan-to'g'ri G'arbdan olib kelingan matematika, fizika va boshqa turli mavzular bilan tanishdi. 1904 yilda u yuborilgan Yaponiya da o'qish Tokio Shimbu Gakko, harbiy tayyorgarlik akademiyasi, keyin u kirdi Imperator Yaponiya armiyasi akademiyasi, u 1909 yilda tugatgan.^[2]

Yaponiyada tajriba

Yan Yaponiyada o'qigan besh yil davomida mamlakatni muvaffaqiyatli modernizatsiya qilish borasidagi harakatlaridan hayratga tushdi. U yaponlar tomonidan erishilgan taraqqiyotni kuzatdi (xitoyliklar ilgari uni murakkab va qoloq deb hisoblashgan) va agar Xitoy dunyodan orqada qolsa, uning oqibatlari haqida tashvishlana boshladi. Ushbu shakllantiruvchi tajriba keyinchalik uning Shanxi shahrini modernizatsiya qilish bo'yicha keyingi harakatlari uchun katta ilhom davri sifatida qayd etildi.^[2]

Yan oxir-oqibat yaponlar asosan hukumatning o'z siyosatini qo'llab-quvvatlashga va harbiy va tinch aholi o'rtasida mavjud bo'lgan yaqin va hurmatli munosabatlarga safarbar qilish qobiliyatlari tufayli muvaffaqiyatli modernizatsiya qilindi degan xulosaga keldi. U Yaponiyaning 1905 yildagi g'alati g'alabasi bilan bog'liq edi Rus-yapon urushi Yaponiya jamoatchiligini armiyani qo'llab-quvvatlashga g'ayrat bilan safarbar etishga. 1910 yilda Xitoyga qaytib kelgandan keyin u risolasini yozib, Xitoyni Yaponiyaning mahalliy shaklini ishlab chiqarmaguncha, uni bosib olish xavfi borligi to'g'risida ogohlantirdi. bushido.^[3]

Yaponiyada o'qishdan oldin ham Yan Tsansi amaldorlarining Shanxi shahridagi ochiq va keng tarqalgan korrupsiyasidan nafratlanib, Xitoyning 19-asrdagi nisbiy nochorligi sulolaning modernizatsiya va sanoatni rivojlantirishga umuman dushmanona munosabati natijasi ekanligiga amin bo'lgan va noaniq tashqi siyosat. U Yaponiyada bo'lganida u uchrashdi Sun Yatsen va unga qo'shildi Tongmenxui (Inqilobiy ittifoq), Tsing sulolasini ag'darishga bag'ishlangan yarim maxfiy jamiyat. Shuningdek, u Yaponiya Imperatorlik armiyasi akademiyasida xitoylik talabalar safida "Qon va temir jamiyati" ni tashkil qilib, Sun mafkurasini ommalashtirishga urindi. Ushbu talabalar guruhining maqsadi qanday qilib o'xshash kuchli va birlashgan Xitoyni yaratishga olib keladigan inqilobni tashkil etish edi Otto fon Bismark kuchli va birlashgan Germaniyani yaratgan edi.^[3] Yan shuningdek, Xitoy inqilobchilarining yanada jangari tashkilotiga - "Jasoratga jur'at etuvchi korpus" ga qo'shildi.^[4]

Xitoyga qaytish

U 1909 yilda Xitoyga qaytib kelganida, unga diviziya qo'mondoni etib tayinlangan Yangi armiya Shanxi shahrida,^[5] ammo yashirincha Qingni ag'darish uchun ishlagan.^[4] 1911 yil davomida Sinxay inqilobi Yan mahalliy inqilobiy kuchlarga rahbarlik qilib, manjur qo'shinlarini provinsiyadan haydab chiqarib, uni Tsin hukumatidan mustaqil deb e'lon qildi. U o'z harakatlarini Tsinning qaytarib ololmaganligiga hujum qilish bilan oqladi chet el tajovuzi va keng ko'lamli ijtimoiy va siyosiy islohotlarni va'da qildi.^[5]

Dastlabki respublikadagi martaba

Yan Xishan 1920-yillarning boshlarida, Shanxi hokimiyatni qo'lga kiritgandan ko'p o'tmay.

Yuan Shikay bilan ziddiyat

1911 yilda Yan yana bir taniqli Shanxi inqilobchisi Vu Lujen bilan ziyon etkazish uchun kuchlarni birlashtirishga umid qildi Yuan Shikai Shimoliy Xitoy ustidan nazorat, ammo Vu o'ldirilganidan keyin bu rejalar bekor qilindi.^[4] Yan o'z o'rtoqlari tomonidan harbiy gubernator etib saylandi, ammo 1913 yilda Shanxi shahrining aksariyat qismini egallab olgan Yuan Shikay qo'shinlarining keyingi hujumini oldini ololmadi. Yuan bosqini davrida Yan faqat shimolga chekinish va tekislash orqali omon qoldi. o'zi qo'shnidagi do'stona qo'zg'olonchilar guruhi bilan Shensi viloyat. Yuan bilan hal qiluvchi harbiy to'qnashuvdan qochib, Yan o'zining kuch bazasini saqlab qolishga muvaffaq bo'ldi. U Sun Yatsen bilan do'st bo'lgan bo'lsa-da, Yan 1913 yilda uni qo'llab-quvvatladi "Ikkinchi inqilob "va buning o'rniga o'zini Yuanga g'azablantirdi, u unga Shanxi harbiy gubernatori sifatida qaytib kelishiga ruxsat berdi, keyinchalik u Yuanning o'z qo'ltiqchilari bilan to'ldirilgan harbiy xizmatga rahbarlik qildi.^[5] 1917 yilda, Yuan Shikay vafotidan ko'p o'tmay, Yan o'z nazoratini kuchaytirdi Shanxi, u erda hukmronlik qilish.^[6] 1916 yilda Yuan vafot etganidan keyin Xitoy urush boshlig'i davriga tushdi.

Shanxining Manchu hokimiyatiga qarshi turishga qat'iy qaror qilgani Yuanni Tsin sulolasining barham topishigina Xitoyga tinchlik olib kelishi va fuqarolar urushini tugatishi mumkinligiga ishonishiga sabab bo'ldi. Yanning Yuanning Shimoliy Xitoydagi harbiy hukmronligiga qarshi tura olmasligi Sun Yat Senning prezidentlikka shaxsan o'zi bormaslik qarorini qabul qilishiga turtki bo'ldi. Xitoy Respublikasi tugaganidan keyin tashkil etilgan Tsing sulolasi. Yuanning harbiy hukmronligiga qarshi chiqishning befoydaligi Sunni Yuanni respublikani boshqarish jarayoniga olib kirish va uning (potentsial) dushmani bilan kelishishni yanada muhimroq qilib qo'yishi mumkin edi.^[7]

Shanxi shahrini modernizatsiya qilishga qaratilgan harakatlar

1911 yilga kelib, Shanxi Xitoyning eng qashshoq viloyatlaridan biri edi. Yan, agar Shanxi iqtisodiyoti va infratuzilmasini modernizatsiya qila olmasa va qayta tiklay olmasa, u Shanxi raqib lashkarlari tomonidan bosib olinishining oldini ololmasligiga ishongan.^[8] 1919 yilda raqib lashkarboshisi tomonidan berilgan harbiy mag'lubiyat Yanni boshqa sarkardalar bilan gegemonlik uchun raqobatlashish uchun yetarlicha rivojlanmaganligiga Yanni ishontirdi va u o'sha paytdagi zo'ravon milliy siyosatdan qochib, Shanxi tomon betaraflik siyosatini amalga oshirdi va o'z viloyatini ozod qildi. fuqarolar urushlari. Davom etayotgan fuqarolik urushlarida qatnashish o'rniga, Yan o'zini deyarli faqat Shanxi shahrini modernizatsiya qilish va uning resurslarini rivojlantirishga bag'ishladi. Uning islohotlarining muvaffaqiyati uni begonalar tomonidan "Namunaviy gubernator", Shanxi esa "Namunaviy provinsiya" deb atashlari uchun etarli edi.^[5]

1918 yilda Shanxi shimolida ikki oy davom etgan va 2664 kishining o'limiga sabab bo'lgan bubonik vabo tarqaldi. Yan ushbu epidemiyaga qarshi o'z mulozimlariga zamonaviy mikroblar nazariyasi va vabo kasalligini boshqarish bo'yicha ko'rsatmalar berib murojaat qildi. Yan odamlarga vabo o'pkaga nafas olayotgan mayda mikroblar sabab bo'lganligi, kasallik davolanmasligi va kasallik tarqalishining oldini olishning yagona yo'li bu yuqtirgan odamni jismoniy izolyatsiya qilish ekanligi haqida ko'rsatma berdi. U o'z mansabdorlariga, agar kerak bo'lsa, politsiya kuchlari tahdidi bilan yuqtirgan oila a'zolarini, qo'shnilarini yoki hatto butun yuqtirgan jamoalarni bir-birlaridan saqlashni buyurdi. Yanning mikroblar nazariyasini targ'ib qilishi va epidemiyalarning ta'sirini kamaytirish uchun jismoniy izolyatsiyani majburlashi mahalliy aholi tomonidan to'liq qabul qilinmadi va ba'zi joylarda mahalliy odamlar ushbu choralarga qarshi turishdi.^[9]

Yanning Shanxi-ni modernizatsiya qilishga bo'lgan qat'iyati qisman uning epidemiyani bostirishda yordam berish uchun 1918 yilda Shanxi shahriga kelgan xorijiy shifokorlar va xodimlar bilan o'zaro munosabatlaridan ilhomlangan. U ushbu xodimlarning g'ayrati, iste'dodi va zamonaviy dunyoqarashiga qoyil qoldi va keyinchalik chet elliklarni o'zining konservativ va umuman befarq amaldorlari bilan taqqosladi. Boshqa taniqli islohotchilar bilan suhbatlar, shu jumladan Jon Devi, Xu Shih va Yanning yaqin do'sti H.H. Kung, Shanxi g'arbiylashtirishga bo'lgan qat'iyatini kuchaytirdi.^[10]

Yan 1921 yilda Tayyuanda joylashgan Xitoy tibbiyotini rivojlantirish bo'yicha tadqiqot jamiyatini moliyalashtirish orqali Xitoyda tibbiyot holatini modernizatsiya qilishga urinib ko'rdi. O'sha paytda Xitoyda juda g'ayrioddiy bo'lgan maktab to'rt yillik o'quv dasturiga ega edi va ikkalasida ham darslarni o'z ichiga olgan Xitoy va g'arbiy tibbiyot. Uning kurslari ingliz, nemis va yapon tillarida o'qitildi. Yan maktabda tayyorlangan shifokorlar o'rganadi deb umid qilgan asosiy ko'nikmalar quyidagilar edi: standartlashtirilgan diagnostika tizimi; sanitariya fanlari, shu jumladan bakteriologiya; jarrohlik qobiliyatlari, shu jumladan akusherlik; va diagnostika vositalaridan foydalanish. Yan maktabni qo'llab-quvvatlashi oxir-oqibat Xitoy dori vositalarining ichki va xalqaro savdosida daromadlarni ko'payishiga, xalq sog'lig'ini yaxshilashga va xalq ta'limi yaxshilanishiga olib keladi deb umid qildi. Yanning bunday maktabni Shanxi shahrida faol bo'lishiga bo'lgan qiziqishi Yaponiyaning G'arbiy kasalxonasida uch oy yotganidan so'ng paydo bo'ldi, u zamonaviy tibbiy asbob-uskunalarni, shu jumladan rentgen va mikroskoplarni birinchi marta ko'rganida hayratga tushdi.^[11][12]

Yan o'z xitoylik tibbiyot an'analarini targ'ib qilishni davom ettirdi, u G'arb tibbiyot fanidan butun boshqaruv davrida xabardor bo'lgan, ammo ushbu tibbiyot maktabi ishlab chiqargan ta'lim va nashrlarning aksariyati Taiyuan atrofidagi hudud bilan cheklangan: 1949 yilga kelib etti hukumatdan uchtasi. - kasalxonalar shaharda edi. 1934 yilda viloyat har bir qishloqda gigiena xodimini jalb qilishni nazarda tutadigan o'n yillik rejani ishlab chiqdi, ammo Ikkinchi Jahon Urushining kelishi va keyingi fuqarolar urushi bu rejalarni amalga oshirishni imkonsiz qildi.^[13]

Shimoliy ekspeditsiyadagi ishtiroki

Yan Sishanning Liaojudagi askarlari (hozir Tsuokan okrugi ) 1925 yilda Xenan lashkari Fan Zhonxiu bilan urush paytida.

Shanxi neytralligini saqlab qolish va uni raqib lashkarboshilari bilan jiddiy harbiy qarama-qarshiliklardan xalos qilish uchun Yan turli jangovar kliklar o'rtasida ittifoqlarni almashtirish strategiyasini ishlab chiqdi va muqarrar ravishda faqat g'olib tomonlarga qo'shildi. Garchi u o'zini o'rab turgan ko'plab lashkarboshilaridan kuchsizroq bo'lgan bo'lsa-da, ko'pincha qo'shni raqiblar o'rtasidagi kuchlar muvozanatini ushlab turar, hattoki xiyonat qilganlar ham kelajakda uning yordamiga muhtoj bo'lishlari mumkin bo'lsa, unga qarshi qasos olishga ikkilanib turar edilar. Manjuriya sarkardasining hukmronligiga qarshi turish uchun Chjan Zuolin, Yan kuchlari bilan ittifoq qildi Chiang Qay-shek 1927 yilda, millatchilar davrida Shimoliy ekspeditsiya. Chiangga yordam berayotganda, Yan 1928 yil iyun oyida Pekinni bosib olgani Shimoliy ekspeditsiyani muvaffaqiyatli yakunladi.^[14] Yanning Chiangga qilgan yordami ko'p o'tmay uning ichki ishlar vaziri etib tayinlanishi bilan mukofotlandi^[15] va barcha gomintang qo'shinlari bosh qo'mondonining o'rinbosari^[16] Yanning Chiangning harbiy yurishlarini qo'llab-quvvatlashi va uning kommunistlarni bostirish Chiangga Yanni Shanxi hokimi sifatida tan olishga va unga ta'sir doirasini kengaytirishga imkon berishga ta'sir ko'rsatdi Xebey.^[4]

Markaziy tekisliklar urushiga qatnashish

Yan Sishan - "Xitoyning navbatdagi prezidenti".

Yanning Chiang bilan ittifoqi 1929 yilda Yan Chiangning dushmanlariga qo'shilib, Shimoliy Xitoyda muqobil milliy hukumat o'rnatish uchun to'xtatildi. Uning ittifoqchilari shimoliy lashkarboshini ham o'z ichiga olgan Feng Yuxiang, Guansi kliki boshchiligidagi Li Zongren va boshchiligidagi chapga moyil Gomintang fraktsiyasi Vang Tszinvey. Feng va Chiangning qo'shinlari bir-birini yo'q qilayotgan paytda, Yan deyarli qarshiliksiz yurish qildi Shandun, viloyat markazini egallash Jinan 1930 yil iyun oyida. Ushbu g'alabalardan so'ng Yan "Kengaytirilgan partiya konferentsiyasi" ni chaqirish orqali o'zi bilan prezident sifatida yangi milliy hukumat tuzishga urindi. Uning rejasiga ko'ra Yan prezident, Vang Tszinvey esa uning bosh vaziri bo'lib xizmat qilishi kerak edi. Ushbu konferentsiya milliy konstitutsiyani ishlab chiqishga urinib ko'rdi va ko'plab yuqori martabali xitoylik militaristlar va Chiangning raqiblari orasida bo'lgan siyosatchilar ishtirok etdi. Ushbu munozaralarni Chiang to'xtatib qo'ydi, u Feng qo'shinlarini qat'iy mag'lubiyatga uchratgandan so'ng, Shandongga bostirib kirdi va Yan armiyasini deyarli yo'q qildi. Qachon Manjuriya gubernatori, Chjan Xueliang, Chiangga sodiqligini ochiqchasiga e'lon qildi (ruslar va yaponlarga qarshi chiqish uchun uni qo'llab-quvvatlashi kerak edi), Yan qochib ketdi Dalian Yaponlarning qo'lida Kvantung ijaraga olingan hudud, faqat 1931 yilda Chiang bilan sulh tuzgandan so'ng, mag'lubiyatsiz Shanxi shahriga qaytish.^[4][14][17] Buning davomida "Markaziy tekisliklar urushi ", the Gomintang musulmonlar va mo'g'ullarni ikkalasini ham ag'darishga undagan Feng Yuxiang va Yan.^[18] 1930 yilda Chiang Yan va Fengni mag'lub etgani Xitoyning oxiri deb hisoblanadi Warlord Era.

1927-31 yillardagi voqealar eng yaxshi o'n yil oldin markaziy hukumat parchalanib ketganidan buyon Xitoy siyosatiga xos bo'lgan o'zgaruvchan, xaotik ittifoqlarga odatlangan sarkardalar strategiyasi sifatida izohlanadi. Yan mag'lubiyatining asosiy sababi - uning nazorati ostidagi hududlarda aholining kamligi va rivojlanmaganligi, uni o'sha paytda Chiang qo'mondonligidagi kabi katta va yaxshi jihozlangan armiyani jalb qilishga qodir emasligi.^[14] Yan shuningdek, Chiangning ofitserlar korpusidagi etakchilik sifatiga va o'sha paytda Chiang va millatchi armiya egallagan obro'ga teng kela olmadi.^[19] Chiang armiyasi Feng va Yanni mag'lub etishidan oldin, Yan Sishan muqovada paydo bo'ldi TIME jurnali, "Xitoyning navbatdagi prezidenti" sarlavhasi bilan.^[20] Ushbu davrda chet ellik kuzatuvchilar tomonidan unga berilgan e'tibor va boshqa yuqori martabali Xitoy davlat arboblari tomonidan qo'llab-quvvatlanganligi va yordami, agar Chi Yanning ittifoqini mag'lub qilmasa, Yan markaziy hukumatni boshqaradi degan ishonchli umid borligini anglatadi. .

Shanxi shahriga qaytish

Yan faqat Shanxi shahriga murakkab fitna va siyosiy harakatlar natijasida qaytishga muvaffaq bo'ldi. Chiangning Yanni yoki uning bo'ysunuvchilarini zudlik bilan va doimiy ravishda Shansidan chiqarib yuborolmasliklarining aksariyati, asosan, Chjan vakolatlarini Manchjuriyada kengaytirilishining oldini olishga intilgan Chjan Syuelyan va yaponlarning ta'siriga bog'liq edi. Yan yo'qligida Shanxi fuqarolik hukumati to'xtab qoldi va Shanxi turli xil harbiy rahbarlari bo'shliqni to'ldirish uchun bir-biri bilan kurashdilar va Chiang hukumatini Yanning bo'ysunuvchilari orasidan Shanxi rahbarlarini tayinlashga majbur qilishdi. U zudlik bilan viloyat siyosatiga qaytganligini e'lon qilmagan bo'lsa-da, Yan 1931 yilda Chjanning ko'magi va himoyasi bilan Shanxi shahriga qaytib keldi. Ushbu harakat Chiang tomonidan kuchlarni bostirishda ishtirok etganligi sababli norozilik bildirmadi Li Zongren shimoliy tomon yurgan Xunan uning bazasidan Guansi Yanni qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun.^[21]

Yan Shanxi siyosatining fonida, Nanjin hukumati Yaponiyaning Manjuriyani egallab olishiga qarshilik ko'rsatmaguncha, Mukden hodisasi Yan va uning izdoshlariga Shanxi shahridagi Gomintangni norasmiy ravishda ag'darish imkoniyatini berdi. 1931 yil 18-dekabrda bir guruh talabalar (Yanga sodiq amaldorlar tomonidan qo'llab-quvvatlandi va ehtimol uyushtirildi) Tayyan shahrida to'planib, Nankin hukumatining yaponlarga qarshi kurashmaslik siyosatiga qarshi chiqishdi. Ushbu namoyish shu qadar zo'ravonlikka aylandiki, Gomintang politsiyasi olomonga qarata o'q uzdi. Ushbu "O'n sakkizinchi dekabrdagi qirg'in" ning jamoatchilik g'azabi Yanning amaldorlariga Gomintangni jamoat xavfsizligi sababli viloyatdan chiqarib yuborish uchun bahona beradigan darajada kuchli edi. Ushbu voqeadan so'ng, Gomintang Shanxi shahrida o'z a'zolari Chi Kay-shekiga qaraganda Yanga ko'proq sodiq bo'lgan qo'pol tashkilot sifatida o'z faoliyatini tugatdi.^[22]

Xitoy bo'ylab boshqa Xitoy lashkarlarining sadoqatini ta'minlashdagi kelajakdagi qiyinchiliklar, kommunistlar bilan davom etayotgan fuqarolik urushi va Yaponiyaning istilo tahdidi Chiangni Yanga 1932 yilda tinchlantirish bo'yicha komissar unvonini saqlab qolish uchun turtki berdi va u Yanni markaziy hukumat tarkibiga tayinladi Mo'g'uliston va Tibet ishlari bo'yicha komissiya. 1934 yilda Chiang nihoyat Tayyanga uchib ketdi va u erda Yanning Nankinni qo'llab-quvvatlashi evaziga Yan ma'muriyatini maqtadi. Yan hukumatini omma oldida maqtab, Chiang aslida Yan Shansining shubhasiz hukmdori bo'lib qolganligini tan oldi.^[23]

Millatchi hukumat bilan keyingi munosabatlar

1931 yildan keyin Yan Nankin hukumatiga nominal yordam berishda davom etib, Shanxi ustidan amalda nazoratni saqlab, muqobil ravishda o'z viloyatida faol bo'lgan kommunistik agentlar bilan hamkorlik qildi va ularga qarshi kurashdi. U faol ishtirokchi bo'lmasa-da, Yan 1936 yilni qo'llab-quvvatladi Sian voqeasi, unda Chi Kay-Shek boshchiligidagi millatchi zobitlar tomonidan hibsga olingan Chjan Xueliang va Yang Xucheng va u kommunistlar bilan sulh tuzishga va a tashkil etishga rozi bo'lganidagina ozod qilindi "birlashgan front" Yaponiyaning Xitoyga yaqinlashib kelayotgan bosqiniga qarshi turish. Bilan yozishmalarida Chjan Xueliang 1936 yilda Yan u bilan Chiang o'rtasidagi ziddiyatning kuchayishi Yanning Yaponiya bosqini ehtimoli haqidagi xavotirlari va Xitoyning keyingi taqdiri uchun xavotiri bilan bog'liqligini va Yan Xitoyning resurslarini anti-anti-ga yo'naltirishning to'g'riligiga ishonch hosil qilmaganligini ko'rsatdi. Kommunistik kampaniyalar.^[6] Sian voqeasi paytida Yan muzokaralarda faol ishtirok etib, Chiangning qatl qilinishiga yo'l qo'ymaslik uchun vakillarini yubordi (va Yan ishongan fuqarolik urushi) Yanning ishongan yaponlarning Xitoyga bostirib kirishiga qarshi turish uchun birlashgan jabhaga intilayotganda.^[24]

Shanxi va markaziy hukumat o'rtasidagi moliyaviy munosabatlar murakkab bo'lib qoldi. Yan Taiyuan atrofida og'ir sanoat majmuasini yaratishda muvaffaqiyat qozongan, ammo Shanxi tashqarisida uning muvaffaqiyati darajasini e'lon qilishni e'tibordan chetda qoldirgan, ehtimol Chiang Kay-ni aldash uchun. Shanxi sanoatini modernizatsiya qilishda erishgan yutuqlariga qaramay, Yan mahalliy temir yo'lni kengaytirish uchun va boshqa sabablarga ko'ra markaziy hukumatdan moliyaviy yordam so'rab bir necha bor murojaat qilgan, ammo odatda uning talablari rad etilgan. Yan tuz savdosidan yig'ilgan soliqlarni (Shanxi davlat fabrikalarida ishlab chiqarilgan) markaziy hukumatga yuborishdan bosh tortganida, Chiang qasos qilib, Shimoliy Xitoy bozorini shu qadar ko'p tuz bilan to'ldirdi (Xitoy qirg'oqlari atrofida ishlab chiqarilgan), Xitoyda tuz narxi shimoliy provintsiyalar juda past darajaga tushib ketdi: tuzning sun'iy ravishda past narxlari tufayli qo'shni viloyatlar Shanxi tuzini sotib olishni deyarli to'xtatdilar. 1935 yilda Chiangning Xitoy sanoatini modernizatsiya qilish bo'yicha "besh yillik rejasi" haqida e'lon qilishi, ehtimol Yan bundan bir necha yil oldin e'lon qilgan "O'n yillik reja" ning muvaffaqiyatlaridan ilhomlangan.^[25]

Davlat siyosati

Shanshida Yan provinsiyani nazoratini markazlashtirish maqsadida ko'plab muvaffaqiyatli islohotlarni amalga oshirdi. Garchi quruqlikdagi janoblarning an'anaviy qadriyatlarini qabul qilgan bo'lsa-da, u ularning dehqonlarga nisbatan "zulmini" qoraladi va tashabbuskorlik choralarini ko'rdi. er islohoti va qishloqdagi populyatsiya ustidan er egalarining hokimiyatini susaytiradi. Ushbu islohotlar Shanxi dehqonlariga foyda berishdan tashqari, uning viloyatidagi potentsial raqiblarini ham zaiflashtirdi.^[1]

Yan o'z armiyasini mahalliy yollangan kuch sifatida rivojlantirishga harakat qildi, u xalqning xo'jayini emas, balki xizmatkor ekanligi haqida jamoatchilik imidjini rivojlantirdi. U hamma narsani qamrab oluvchi, o'ziga xos mafkurani (so'zma-so'z "Yan Xishan fikri") ishlab chiqdi va uni qishloq gazetalari tarmog'iga homiylik qilish va dramatik truppalar orqali tarqatdi. U dramatik ommaviy yig'ilishlarni muvofiqlashtirdi, unda ishtirokchilar o'zlarining qilmishlarini tan oldilar va / yoki boshqalarning ishlarini qoraladilar. U tizimini yaratdi xalq ta'limi, o'qitilgan ishchilar va dehqonlar aholisini qiyinchiliksiz singdirish uchun etarli darajada savodli qilib ishlab chiqarish. Yan ushbu islohotlarni ishlab chiqqan va amalga oshirgan dastlabki davr (Warlord davrida) keyinchalik bu islohotlar aksincha emas, balki kommunistik dasturlar asosida ishlab chiqilgan degan da'volarga zid keladi.^[2]

Harbiy siyosat

Yan 1909 yilda Yaponiyadan qaytib kelganida, u qat'iy tarafdori edi militarizm va nemis va yapon yo'nalishlari bo'yicha milliy harbiy xizmatni taklif qildi. Germaniyaning mag'lubiyati Birinchi jahon urushi va Yanning mag'lubiyati Xenan 1919 yilda unga militarizmning hayot tarzi sifatida qiymatini qayta baholashga sabab bo'ldi. Keyin u 1923 yilgacha (pulni tejash maqsadida) qo'shinlar sonini kamaytirdi, mish-mishlar tarqalganda, raqib lashkarlari Shanxi shahriga bostirib kirishni rejalashtirgan edi. Keyinchalik Yan Yaponiya va Amerika zaxiralari bo'yicha 100 ming kishilik qishloq militsiyasini tayyorlashga mo'ljallangan harbiy islohotlarni joriy etdi.^[26]

Yan chaqiruv yo'li bilan Shanxi shahrida jamiyatning asosi bo'ladigan fuqarolik zaxirasini yaratishga urindi. Uning qo'shinlari, ehtimol, Warlord davridagi yagona armiya bo'lib, ular faqat shu mintaqada joylashgan edi va u o'z askarlari Shanxi infratuzilmasini, shu jumladan yo'llarni ta'mirlash va dehqonlarga yordam berish bo'yicha ishlarni bajarishni talab qilganligi sababli va uning intizomi buni ta'minlaganligi sababli uning askarlari aslida tinch aholidan olgan har bir narsasi uchun pul to'lashgan, Shansidagi armiya Xitoydagi raqiblarining ko'pchiligiga qaraganda ancha mashhurroq qo'llab-quvvatlangan.^[19]

Yanning ofitserlar korpusi Shanxi janoblaridan tuzilgan va hukumat hisobidan ikki yillik ta'lim olgan. Uning zobitlarini qat'iy, yaponcha uslubdagi mashg'ulotlar rejimiga bo'ysundirish va ularni Yan Xishan Fikrida tarbiyalashga urinishlariga qaramay, uning qo'shinlari hech qachon jangda yaxshi tayyorgarlik ko'rmaganliklari yoki intizomli ekanliklarini isbotlamadilar. Umuman olganda, Yanning harbiy rekordlari ijobiy deb hisoblanmaydi - u g'alabalarga qaraganda ko'proq mag'lubiyatga uchragan - va uning zobitlar korpusi o'z maqsadlarini tushunadimi yoki unga hamdardmi, buning o'rniga xizmatga faqat obro'ga erishish va undan yuqori standartlarga erishish uchun kirishganmi, aniq emas. yashash. Yan Tayyan shahrida o'z arsenalini qurdi, u butun ma'muriyati davrida Xitoyda dala artilleriyasini ishlab chiqarishga qodir yagona markaz bo'lib qoldi. Ushbu arsenalning mavjudligi Yanning Shanxi nisbatan mustaqilligini saqlab qolishining asosiy sabablaridan biri edi.^[19] Yanning armiyasi raqib lashkarboshilariga qarshi samarali kurash olib bormagan bo'lsa-da, Shanxi shahridagi banditizmni yo'q qilishda muvaffaqiyatga erishdi va unga nisbatan yuqori darajadagi jamoat tartibi va xavfsizligini ta'minlashga imkon berdi.^[27] Yanshining Shanxi shahridagi banditizmni yo'q qilishdagi yutuqlari orasida Yuan Shikay bilan 1913-14 yillardagi muvaffaqiyatsizlikdan keyin Bay Langning qoldiq isyonchilarini mag'lub etish bo'yicha hamkorlik bor. Bai Lang isyoni.

Ijtimoiy islohotlarga urinishlar

Yan eski deb hisoblagan ijtimoiy an'analarni yo'q qilish uchun juda ko'p harakatlarni amalga oshirdi. U Shanxi shahridagi barcha erkaklarning Tsing davridagi navbatlaridan voz kechishini talab qilib, politsiyachilar hanuzgacha kiyib yurganlarning navbatini o'chirib qo'yish haqida ko'rsatma berishgan. Bir misolda, Yan o'z politsiyasidan muntazam ravishda tomoshabinlarning sochlarini qirqishi uchun odamlarni teatrlarga jalb qildi.^[27] U har bir tumanda dehqon qizlariga boshlang'ich maktab ta'limi berilishi va mahalliy mahoratni o'rgatishi mumkin bo'lgan kamida bittadan kasb-hunar ta'limi maktabini yaratish orqali ayollarning keng savodsizligiga qarshi kurashishga harakat qildi. Gomindang harbiy g'alabalaridan so'ng 1925 yilda Shanxi millatchi mafkuraga, shu jumladan katta qiziqish uyg'otdi ayollar huquqlari, Yan qizlarga o'rta maktab va kollejga o'qishga kirishga ruxsat berdi, ular tezda ayollar uyushmasini tuzdilar.^[26]

Yan odatini yo'q qilishga urindi oyoq bog'lash, oyoqlari bog'langan ayollarga uylangan erkaklarga va qizlarining oyoqlarini bog'lab qo'ygan onalarga davlat fabrikalarida og'ir mehnatga hukm qilish bilan tahdid qilish. U an'anaviylardan foydalanishni rad etdi oy taqvimi va mahalliy rivojlanishni rag'batlantirdi skaut tashkilotlar. Keyinchalik Yan o'rnini egallagan kommunistlar singari, u odatdagi qonunbuzarlarni davlat fabrikalarida "mehnat orqali qutqarish" uchun jazoladi.^[27]

Afyun iste'molini yo'q qilishga urinishlar

1916 yilda Shanxi shahrining 11 million aholisining kamida 10 foizi o'ziga qaram bo'lgan afyun va Yan hokimiyatga kelganidan keyin Shanxi shahrida afyun ishlatishni yo'q qilishga urindi. Dastlab u afyun sotuvchilari va giyohvandlar bilan qattiq muomala qilib, giyohvandlarni qamoqxonaga tashlab, ularni va ularning oilalarini jamoat sharmandaligiga duchor qildi. Afyun bilan bog'liq jinoyatlar uchun sudlanganlarning ko'pi keyinchalik giyohvand moddadan to'satdan voz kechish natijasida vafot etdilar. 1922 yildan so'ng, qisman qattiq jazolashga qarshi jamoatchilikning qarshilik ko'rsatishi tufayli, Yan qaramog'idagi odamlarni reabilitatsiya qilishga urinish, odamlarni oilalari orqali bosim o'tkazish va qaramlikdan asta-sekin o'z qaramligidan davolash uchun mo'ljallangan sanatoriylar qurish foydasiga jazolashdan voz kechdi.^[28]

Yanning Shanxi shahridagi afyun savdosini bostirishga bo'lgan urinishlari asosan muvaffaqiyatli bo'lgan va 1922 yilga kelib viloyatdagi afyun giyohvandlar soni 80% ga kamaygan. Boshqa sarkardalar tomonidan afyun ishlab chiqarish va savdosiga qarshi kurash olib borilmagan bo'lsa, Yanning afyunga qarshi harakatlari. faqat afyun narxini shunchalik oshirdiki, boshqa turdagi provinsiyalar Shanxi shahriga har xil turdagi giyohvand moddalar jalb qilindi. Foydalanuvchilar ko'pincha afyundan aralashtirilgan tabletkalarga o'tishdi morfin va geroin kontrabanda va ulardan foydalanish osonroq edi. Shansidagi eng nufuzli va qudratli janoblar ko'pincha eng yomon jinoyatchilar bo'lganligi sababli, Shanxi imtiyozli sinfidan chiqqan amaldorlar kamdan-kam hollarda Yanning giyohvand moddalarni iste'mol qilishni taqiqlovchi farmonlarini ijro etishgan va ko'pincha o'zlarini jazodan qochishgan. Oxir-oqibat Yan afyun savdosini to'xtatish bo'yicha harakatlaridan voz kechishga majbur bo'ldi va buning o'rniga a hukumat monopoliyasi Shanxi shahrida afyun ishlab chiqarish va sotish bo'yicha.^[28] Yan 1930 yillarga qadar giyohvand moddalar borligidan shikoyat qilishni davom ettirdi va 1932 yildan keyin Shanxi shahriga giyohvand moddalar olib kirishda ushlangan 600 dan ortiq odam qatl etildi. Yo'l harakati davom etdi, ammo Yanning bunga qarshi bo'lgan manfaatlari, ehtimol Xitoyda mavjud bo'lgan morfin va geroinning ko'p qismini ishlab chiqaradigan yaponlarni qo'zg'ashdan qo'rqish bilan cheklangan bo'lishi mumkin. konsessiya maydoni yilda Tyantszin va 30-yillarda Shimoliy Xitoyda giyohvand moddalar savdosining katta qismini kim nazorat qilish uchun kelgan.^[29]

Iqtisodiy islohotlarning cheklovlari

Yanning Shanxi iqtisodiyotini rag'batlantirish borasidagi sa'y-harakatlari asosan turli sohalarga davlat boshchiligidagi sarmoyalardan iborat edi va umuman xususiy sarmoyalar va savdoni rag'batlantirmadi. Shanxi iqtisodiyotini yaxshilash uchun yutuqlarga erishilgan bo'lsa-da, uning harakatlari uning o'zi iqtisodiy yoki sanoat nazariyasida rasmiy ma'lumotlarga ega bo'lmaganligi bilan cheklangan. Shuningdek, u iqtisodiy rivojlanish bilan bog'liq mo''tadil murakkab vazifalarni ham boshqarishga qodir tajribali, o'qitilgan maslahatchilar etishmasligidan aziyat chekdi. U olgan ma'lumotli kadrlarning aksariyati Shanxi erlari tarkibida mustahkam o'rnashganligi sababli, uning ko'plab amaldorlari uning islohotlar yo'lidagi harakatlarini qasddan sabotaj qilgan bo'lishi mumkin, chunki dalalarida ishlaydigan dehqonlar o'zlarining arzon narxlarida ishlashlarini afzal ko'rishgan. an'anaviy mehnat.^[30]

Yan Xishan fikr

Yan Xishan butun hayoti davomida o'z mansabdorlari va Shanxi aholisi ma'naviyati va sadoqatini yaxshilaydigan keng qamrovli mafkurani aniqlash, shakllantirish va tarqatishga harakat qildi. Yaponiyada o'qish paytida Yan uni o'ziga jalb qildi militarizm va Ijtimoiy darvinizm Ammo u Birinchi Jahon Urushidan keyin bulardan voz kechgan edi. Yanning butun umri davomida u o'sha paytdagi aksariyat xitoylik konservatorlarning pozitsiyasini aniqladi: ijtimoiy va iqtisodiy islohotlar axloqiy islohotlardan ilgarilashini va Xitoy bilan to'qnash kelayotgan muammolarni faqat hal qilish mumkinligini aytdi. Xitoy xalqining axloqiy reabilitatsiyasi bilan.^[31] U hokimiyatga kelgan paytda Xitoy xalqini birlashtirish uchun yagona mafkura mavjud emasligiga ishongan Yan, o'zi ideal mafkurani yaratishga urindi va bir marta o'zining eng yaxshi xususiyatlarini o'zida mujassam etgan keng qamrovli e'tiqod tizimini yaratishga muvaffaq bo'lganligi bilan maqtandi ". militarizm, millatchilik, anarxizm, demokratiya, kapitalizm, kommunizm, individualizm, imperializm, universalizm, paternalizm va utopiya ".^[32] Yanning o'z mafkurasini yoyishga urinishlarining aksariyati "Yurakni yuvuvchi jamiyatlar" nomi bilan tanilgan yarim diniy tashkilotlar tarmog'i orqali amalga oshirildi.

Konfutsiychilikning ta'siri

Yan hissiyot bilan bog'liq edi Konfutsiylik uning tarbiyasi tufayli va uning qadriyatlarini o'z davridagi tartibsizlik va tartibsizlikni tarixiy jihatdan samarali echim sifatida aniqlaganligi sababli. U o'z hukmronligini Konfutsiy siyosiy nazariyalari orqali oqladi va Konfutsiy fazilatlarini umume'tirof etilganidek tiklashga harakat qildi. Yan o'z nutqlarida va yozuvlarida Konfutsiy bilan bog'liq bo'lgan mo''tadillik va uyg'unlik fazilatlariga g'ayritabiiy hayratni rivojlantirdi. O'rtacha ta'limot. Yan amalga oshirgan ko'plab islohotlar uning a ekanligini namoyish etish niyatida amalga oshirildi junzi, Konfutsiy fazilati timsoli.^[31]

Konfutsiylikning Yan talqinlari asosan shaklidan olingan Neofutsiylik bu Tsing sulolasida mashhur bo'lgan. U har kimda tug'ma ezgulik qobiliyati bor, lekin bu qobiliyatni bajarish uchun odamlar o'zlarining his-tuyg'ulari va istaklarini vijdonlari boshqarishiga bo'ysundirishlari kerakligini o'rgatgan. U hayratga tushdi Min sulolasi faylasuflar Lu Szuyuan va Vang Yangming, bilimni kamsitgan va odamlarni o'zlarining sezgi asosida harakat qilishga undagan. Yan o'z potentsialiga faqat o'z-o'zini tanqid qilish va o'zini o'zi etishtirish orqali erishish mumkinligiga ishonganligi sababli, u har bir shaharda Konfutsiy mavzusi asosida mulohaza yuritish va va'zlarni tinglash uchun har yakshanba kuni yig'ilgan "Yuraklarni yuvish" jamiyatini tashkil etdi. klassiklar. Ushbu yig'ilishlarda hamma ko'tarilib, boshqa a'zolarning tanqidiga da'vat etib, o'tgan hafta qilgan xatolarini baland ovoz bilan tan olishlari kerak edi.^[33]

Xristianlikning ta'siri

Yan G'arbning hayotiy kuchining katta qismini nasroniylik bilan bog'ladi va Xitoy bir xil darajada ilhomlantiradigan mafkuraviy an'analarni yaratish orqali faqat G'arbga qarshi tura oladi va uni ortda qoldirishi mumkin deb hisoblaydi. U missionerlarning (asosan, maktablar majmuasini saqlagan amerikaliklarning) sa'y-harakatlarini yuqori baholadi Taigu ) Shansini o'qitish va zamonaviylashtirish. U muntazam ravishda ushbu maktablarning bitiruvchilariga murojaat qilgan, ammo odatda bu talabalarni o'z rejimiga xizmat qilish uchun jalb qilishda muvaffaqiyatsiz bo'lgan. Yan Tayyan shahridagi mahalliy xristian cherkovini qo'llab-quvvatlagan va o'z vaqtida xristian ruhoniylaridan foydalanishni jiddiy o'ylagan. Xristianlikni jamoat tomonidan qo'llab-quvvatlashi 1925 yildan keyin, Tayyanni qutblangan chet elliklarga va xristianlarga qarshi namoyishlar paytida xristianlarni himoya qilishga kela olmaganidan keyin susayib ketdi.^[34]

Yan xristian cherkovida o'z qalbini yuvuvchi jamiyatining ko'plab xususiyatlarini, shu jumladan har bir xizmatni Konfutsiyni madh etuvchi madhiyalar bilan yakunlashni ataylab uyushtirgan. U o'z fuqarolarini imonlarini o'zi chaqirgan oliy mavjudotga ishonishga chaqirdi "Shangdi": u o'z ishonchini oqladi Shangdi Konfutsiy klassiklari orqali, ammo tasvirlangan Shangdi Xudoning nasroniy talqiniga juda o'xshash nuqtai nazardan. Xristianlik singari Yan Xishan fikri ham, uning mafkurasini qabul qilish orqali odamlar qayta tiklanishi yoki qayta tug'ilishi mumkinligiga ishongan.^[34]

Xitoy millatchiligining ta'siri

1911 yilda Yan Shanxi shahrida Xitoy millatchiligining shogirdi sifatida hokimiyatga keldi, ammo keyinchalik millatchilikni o'z maqsadlariga erishish uchun ishlatilishi mumkin bo'lgan boshqa g'oyalar to'plami sifatida ko'rib chiqdi. He stated that the primary goal of the Heart-Washing Society was to encourage Chinese patriotism by reviving the Confucian church, leading foreigners to accuse him of attempting to create a Chinese version of Sinto.^[35]

Yan attempted to moderate some aspects of Sun Yatsen 's ideology that he viewed as potentially threatening to his rule. Yan altered some of Sun's doctrines before disseminating them in Shanxi, formulating his own version of Sun's Odamlarning uchta tamoyili that replaced the principles of nationalism and democracy with the principles of virtue and knowledge. 1919 yil davomida To'rtinchi harakat, when students in Taiyuan staged anti-foreign demonstrations, Yan warned that patriotism, like rainfall, was beneficial only when moderate.^[35]

Keyin Gomintang succeeded in forming a nominal central government in 1930, Yan encouraged Nationalist principles that he viewed as socially beneficial. During the 1930s he attempted to set up in every village a "Good People's Movement" in order to promote the values of Chiang Qay-shek "s Yangi hayot harakati. These values included honesty, friendliness, dignity, diligence, modesty, thrift, personal neatness and obedience.^[33].

Influence of socialism and communism

In 1931 Yan returned from his exile in Dalian impressed with the apparent successes of Soviet Union's birinchi besh yillik reja, and attempted to reorganize the economy of Shanxi using Soviet methods, according to a local "Ten-Year Plan" that Yan himself developed.^[36] Throughout the 1930s Yan bluntly equated economic development with state control of industry and finance, and he was successful in bringing most major industry and commerce under state control by the late 1930s.^[37]

Yan's speeches after 1931 reflect an interpretation of Marksistik iqtisodiyot (mostly drawn from Das Kapital ) that he gained while in exile in Dalian. Following this interpretation, Yan attempted to change the economy of Shanxi to become more like that of the SSSR, inspiring a scheme of economic "distribution according to labour". When the threat of Chinese Communists became a significant threat to Yan's rule, he defended the Communists as courageous and self-sacrificing fanatics who were different from common bandits (contrary to Kuomintang propaganda) and whose challenge must be met by social and economic reforms that alleviated the conditions responsible for communism.^[38]

Yoqdi Marks, Yan wanted to eliminate what he saw as unearned profit by restructuring Shanxi's economy to reward only those who worked. Unlike Marx, Yan reinterpreted Communism to correct what he believed was Marksizm 's chief flaw: the inevitability of class warfare. Yan praised Marx for his analysis of the material aspects of human society, but professed to believe that there was a moral and spiritual unity of mankind that implied that a state of harmony was closer to the human ideal than conflict. Rad etish orqali economic determinism in favor of morality and free will, Yan hoped to create a society that would be more productive and less violent than he perceived communism to be, while avoiding the exploitation and human misery that he believed was the inevitable result of capitalism.^[39]

Yan interpreted Roosevelt's Yangi bitim as promoting socialism in order to combat the spread of communism. "The New Deal is an effective way of stopping communism," Yan said, "by having the government step in and ride roughshod over the interests of the rich." Yan then undertook a series of public works projects inspired by the New Deal in order to reduce unemployment in his own province.^[40]

Extent of success

In spite of his efforts, Yan did not succeed in making Yan Xishan Thought widely popular in Shanxi, and most of his subjects refused to believe that his true objectives differed substantially from those of past regimes. Yan himself blamed the failure of his ideology to become popular on the faults of his officials, charging that they abused their power and failed to explain his ideas to the common people. In general, the officials of Shanxi misappropriated funds intended to be used for propaganda, attempted to explain Yan's ideas in language too sophisticated for the common people and often behaved in a dictatorial manner that discredited Yan's ideology and failed to generate popular enthusiasm for his regime.^[41]

Threats to Yan's rule

Early conflict with Japan

Yan did not come into serious conflict with the Japanese until the early 1930s. While he was in exile in Dalian in 1930, Yan became aware of Japanese plans to invade Manchuria, and feigned collaboration with the Japanese in order to pressure Chiang Kai-shek into allowing him to return to Shanxi before warning Chiang of Japan's intent. Japan's subsequent success in taking Manchuria in 1931 terrified Yan, who stated that a major objective of his Ten-Year Plan was to strengthen Shanxi's defense against the Japanese. In the early 1930s he supported anti-Japanese riots, denounced the Japanese occupation of Manchuria as "barbarous" and "evil", publicly appealed to Chiang to send troops to Manchuria and arranged for his arsenal to arm partisans fighting the Japanese occupation in Manchuria.^[42]

In December 1931 Yan was warned that, after taking control of Manchuria, the Japanese would attempt to take control of Ichki Mo'g'uliston by subverting Chinese authority in Chahar va Suyuan. In order to prevent this, he took control of Suiyuan first, developing its large iron deposits (24% of all iron in China), and settling the province with thousands of soldier-farmers. Qachon Manchukuo imperatorlik armiyasi (armed and led by the Japanese) finally invaded Chahar in 1935, Yan virtually declared war on the Japanese by accepting a position as "advisor" of the Suiyuan Mongolian Political Council, an organization created by the central government to organize opposition to the Japanese.^[43]

The Japanese began promoting "autonomy" for northern China in the summer of 1935. Apparently, many high-ranking Japanese in China believed that Yan and many others in the north were fundamentally pro-Japanese and would readily subordinate themselves to the Japanese in exchange for protection from Chiang Kai-shek. Yan published an ochiq xat in September in which he accused the Japanese of desiring to conquer all of China over the next two decades. According to Japanese sources, Yan entered into negotiations with the Japanese in 1935, but was never very enthusiastic about "autonomy" and rejected their overtures when he realized that they intended to make him their puppet. Yan likely used these negotiations to frighten Chiang Kai-shek into using his armies to defend Shanxi, since he was afraid that Chiang was preparing to sacrifice northern China to avoid fighting the Japanese. If these were Yan's intentions they were successful, as Chiang assured Yan that he would defend Shanxi with his army in the event that it was invaded.^[44]

Early conflict with the Chinese Communist Party

Although Yan admired its philosophy and economic methods, he feared the threat posed by Chinese communists almost as much as the Japanese. In the early 1930s he observed that, if it invaded Shanxi, the Qizil Armiya would enjoy the support of 70% of his subjects, and would readily be able to recruit one million men from among the most desperate citizens of Shanxi. He remarked that "the job of suppressing communism is 70% political and only 30% military, while the job of preventing its growth altogether is 90% political." In order to prevent a Communist threat to Shanxi, Yan sent troops to fight the Communists in Tszansi and (later) Shensi, organized the gentry and village authorities into anti-corruption and anti-communist political organizations and attempted (mostly unsuccessfully) to undertake a large-scale program of land reform.^[45]

These reforms did not prevent the spread of Communist guerrilla operations into Shanxi. Boshchiligidagi Lyu Jidan va Xu Haidong, 34,000 Communist troops crossed into southwestern Shanxi in February 1936. As Yan predicted, the Communists enjoyed massive popular support and, although they were outnumbered and ill-armed, succeeded in occupying the southern third of Shanxi in less than a month. The Communists' strategy of partizan urushi was extremely effective against, and demoralizing for, Yan's forces, who repeatedly fell victim to surprise attacks. The Communists in Shanxi made good use of cooperation supplied by local peasants to evade and easily locate Yan's forces. When reinforcements sent by the central government forced the Communists to withdraw from Shanxi, the Red Army escaped by splitting into small groups that were actively supplied and hidden by local supporters. Yan himself admitted that his troops had fought poorly during the campaign. The KMT forces that remained in Shanxi expressed hostility to Yan's rule, but did not interfere with his governance.^[46]

Invasion by Mengguguo

1936 yil mart oyida, Manchukuo troops occupying the Ichki mo'g'ul viloyati Chahar invaded northeastern Suyuan, which Yan controlled. These Japanese-aligned forces seized the city of Bailingmiao Yaponiya tarafdori bo'lgan shimoliy Suyuanda Ichki Mo'g'uliston avtonom siyosiy kengashi shtab-kvartirasini saqlab qoldi. Three months later the head of the Political Council, Prince De (Demchugdongrub), declared that he was the ruler of an independent Mongolia (Menguguo ) va Yaponiya uskunalari va mashg'ulotlari yordamida armiyani tashkil qildi. In August 1936 Prince De's army attempted to invade eastern Suiyuan, but it was defeated by Yan's forces under the command of Fu Zuoyi. Following this defeat, Prince De planned another invasion while Japanese agents carefully sketched and photographed Suiyuan's defenses.^[47]

To prepare for the imminent threat of Japanese invasion that he felt after Suiyuan was invaded, Yan attempted to force all students to undergo several months of compulsive military training and formed an informal alliance with the Communists for the purpose of fighting the Japanese, several months before the Sian voqeasi compelled Chiang Kai-shek to do the same. In November 1936 the army of Prince De presented Fu Zuoyi with an ultimatum to surrender. When Fu responded that Prince De was merely a puppet of "certain quarters" and requested that he submit to the authority of the central government, Prince De's Mongolian and Manchurian armies launched another, more ambitious attack. Prince De's 15,000 soldiers were armed with Japanese weapons, supported by Japanese aircraft and often led by Japanese officers (Japanese soldiers fighting for Mengguguo were often executed after their capture as illegal combatants, since Mengguguo was not recognized as being part of Japan).^[48]

In anticipation of this war, Japanese spies destroyed a large supply depot in Datong va boshqa sabotaj harakatlarini amalga oshirgan. Yan placed his best troops and most able generals, including Chjao Chengshou va Yanning kuyovi, Vang Tszingu, Fu Zuoyi qo'mondonligi ostida. Bir oy davom etgan janglar davomida Menguguo armiyasi jiddiy yo'qotishlarga duch keldi. Fu's forces succeeded in retaking Bailingmiao on November 24 and he was considering invading Chahar before he was warned by the Japanese Kvantun armiyasi that doing so would provoke an attack by the Yapon imperatori armiyasi. Prince De's forces repeatedly attempted to retake Bailingmiao, but this only provoked Fu into sending troops north, where he successfully seized the last of Prince De's bases in Suiyuan and virtually annihilated his army. After Japanese officers were found to be aiding Prince De, Yan publicly accused Japan of aiding the invaders. His victories in Suiyuan over Japanese-backed forces were praised by Chinese newspapers and magazines, other warlords and political leaders, and many students and members of the Chinese public.^[49]

Ikkinchi Xitoy-Yaponiya urushi

Davomida Ikkinchi Xitoy-Yaponiya urushi (1937–45), most regions of Shanxi were quickly overrun by the Yapon, but Yan refused to flee the province even after losing the provincial capital, Taiyuan. He relocated his headquarters to a remote corner of the province, effectively resisting Japanese attempts to completely seize Shanxi. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese made no less than five attempts to negotiate peace terms with Yan and hoped that he would become a second Vang Tszinvey, but Yan refused and stayed on the Chinese side.^{[iqtibos kerak ]}

Alliance with the Communists

After the failed attempt by the Xitoy Qizil Armiyasi to establish bases in southern Shanxi in early 1936, the subsequent continued presence of Nationalist soldiers there and the Japanese attempts to take Suiyuan that summer, Yan became convinced that the Communists were lesser threats to his rule than either the Nationalists or the Japanese. He then negotiated a secret anti-Japanese "united front" with the Communists in October 1936 and, after the Sian voqeasi two months later, successfully influenced Chiang Kai-shek to enter into a similar agreement with the Communists. After establishing his alliance with the Communists Yan lifted the ban on Communist activities in Shanxi.^[50] He allowed Communist agents working under Chjou Enlai to establish a secret headquarters in Taiyuan,^[51] and released Communists that he had been holding in prison (including at least one general, Wang Ruofei).^[52]

Yan, under the slogan "resistance against the enemy and defense of the soil", attempted to recruit young, patriotic intellectuals to his government in order to organize a local resistance to the threat of Japanese invasion. By 1936 Taiyuan had become a gathering point for anti-Japanese intellectuals who had fled from Pekin, Tyantszin va shimoli-sharqiy Xitoy who readily cooperated with Yan, but he also recruited natives of Shanxi who were living across China regardless of their former political associations. Some Shanxi officials attracted to Yan's cause in the late 1930s later became important figures in the Chinese government, including Bo Yibo.^[53]

Dastlabki kampaniyalar

In July 1937, after the Marko Polo ko'prigidagi voqea provoked the Japanese into attacking Chinese forces in and around Beijing, the Japanese sent a large number of warplanes and Manchurian soldiers to reinforce Prince De's army. This caused Yan to believe that a Japanese invasion of Shanxi was imminent, and he flew to Nanjing to communicate the situation to Chiang Kai-shek. Yan left his meeting in Nanjing with an appointment as commander of the Second War Zone, comprising Shanxi, Suiyuan, Chahar and northern Shaanxi.^[54]

After returning to Shanxi, Yan encouraged his officials to be suspicious of enemy spies and xanjian, and ordered his forces to attack Prince De's forces in northern Chahar, hoping to surprise and overwhelm them quickly. The Mongolian and Manchu forces were quickly routed, and Japanese reinforcements attempting to force their way through the strategic Nankou pass suffered heavy casualties. Overwhelming Japanese firepower—including artillery, bombers and tanks—eventually forced Yan's forces to surrender Nankou, after which Japanese forces quickly seized Suiyuan and Datong. The Japanese then began the invasion of Shanxi in earnest.^[55]

As the Japanese advanced southward into Taiyuan Basin, Yan attempted to impose discipline on his army by executing Gen. Li Fuying and other officers guilty of retreating from the enemy. He issued orders not to withdraw or surrender under any circumstances, vowed to resist Japan until the Japanese had been defeated and invited his own soldiers to kill him if he betrayed his promise. In the face of continued Japanese advances Yan apologized to the central government for his army's defeats, asked it to assume responsibility for the defense of Shanxi and agreed to share control of the provincial government with one of Chiang Kai-shek's representatives.^[56]

When it became clear to Yan that his forces might not be successful in repelling the Japanese army, he invited Communist military forces to re-enter Shanxi. Chju De became the commander of the Sakkizinchi marshrut armiyasi active in Shanxi and was named the vice-commander of the Second War Zone, under Yan himself. Yan initially responded warmly to the re-entry of the arrival of Communist forces, and they were greeted with enthusiasm by Yan's officials and officers. Communist forces arrived in Shanxi just in time to help defeat a decisively more powerful Japanese force attempting to move through the strategic mountain pass of Pingxingguan. After the Japanese responded to this defeat by outflanking the defenders and moving towards Taiyuan, the Communists avoided decisive battles and mostly attempted to harass Japanese forces and sabotage Japanese lines of supply and communication. The Japanese suffered, but mostly ignored the Eighth Route Army and continued to advance towards Yan's capital. The lack of attention directed at their forces gave the Communists time to recruit and propagandize among the local peasant populations (who generally welcomed Communist forces enthusiastically) and to organize a network of militia units, local guerrilla bands and popular mass organizations.^[57]

Genuine Communist efforts to resist the Japanese gave them the authority to carry out sweeping and radical social and economic reforms, mostly related to land and wealth redistribution, which they defended by labeling those who resisted as xanjian. Communist efforts to resist the Japanese also won over Shanxi's small population of patriotic intellectuals, and conservative fears of resisting them effectively gave the Communists unlimited access to the rural population. Subsequent atrocities committed by the Japanese in the effort to rid Shanxi of Communist guerrillas aroused the hatred of millions in the Shanxi countryside, causing the rural population to turn to the Communists for leadership against the Japanese. All of these factors explain how, within a year of re-entering Shanxi, the Communists were able to take control of most of Shanxi not firmly held by the Japanese.^[58]

Fall of Taiyuan

Chinese troops marching to defend the mountain pass at Xinkou.

By executing commanders guilty of retreating, Yan succeeded in improving the morale of his forces. Davomida Pingxingguan jangi Yan's troops in Shanxi successfully resisted numerous Japanese assaults, while the Eighth Route Army harassed the Japanese from the rear and along their flanks. Other units of Yan's army successfully defended other nearby passes. After the Japanese successfully broke into the Taiyan Basin, they continued to encounter ferocious resistance. Da Yuanping, a single brigade of Yan's troops held out against the Japanese advance for over a week, allowing reinforcements sent by the central government to take up defensive positions at Xinkou. The Communist generals Zhu De and Peng Dexuay criticized Yan for what they called "suicidal tactics", but Yan was confident that the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese would eventually demoralize them, forcing them to abandon their effort to take Shanxi.^[59]

Davomida Xinkou jangi, the Chinese defenders resisted the efforts of Japan's elite Itakagi Division for over a month, despite Japanese advantages in artillery and air support. By the end of October 1937, Japan's losses were four times greater than those suffered at Pingxingguan, and the Itakagi Division was close to defeat. Contemporary Communist accounts called the battle "the most fierce in North China", while Japanese accounts called the battle a "stalemate". In an effort to save their forces at Xinkou, Japanese forces began an effort to occupy Shanxi from a second direction, in the east. After a week of fighting, Japanese forces captured the strategic Niangzi dovoni, opening the way to capturing Taiyuan. Communist guerrilla tactics were ineffective in slowing down the Japanese advance. The defenders at Xinkou, realizing that they were in danger of being outflanked, withdrew southward, past Taiyuan, leaving a small force of 6,000 men to hold off the entire Japanese army.. A representative of the Japanese Army, speaking of the final defense of Taiyuan, said that "nowhere in China have the Chinese fought so obstinately".^[60]

The Japanese suffered 30,000 dead and an equal number wounded in their effort to take northern Shanxi. A Japanese study found that the battles of Pingxingguan, Xinkou, and Taiyuan were responsible for over half of all the casualties suffered by the Japanese army in North China. Yan himself was forced to withdraw after having 90% of his army destroyed, including a large force of reinforcements sent into Shanxi by the central government. Throughout 1937, numerous high-ranking Communist leaders, including Mao Szedun, lavished praise on Yan for waging an uncompromising campaign of resistance against the Japanese.^[61]

Re-establishment of Yan's authority

Shortly before losing Taiyuan Yan moved his headquarters to Linfen, in southwestern Shanxi. Japanese forces halted their advance in order to focus on combating Communist guerrilla units still active in their territory and communicated to Yan that they would exterminate his forces within a year, but that he and his supporters would be treated with consideration if they severed relations with the central government and assisted the Japanese in suppressing the Communists. Yan responded by repeating his promise not to surrender until Japan had been defeated. Possibly because of the severity of his losses in northern Shanxi, Yan abandoned a plan of defense based on positional warfare, and began to reform his army as a force capable of waging guerrilla warfare. After 1938 most of Yan's followers came to refer to his regime as a "guerrilla administration".^[62]

Yan's intransigence obliged the Japanese to invade Linfen. His forces, under the command of Vey Lixuang, put up a stiff defense at Lingshi Pass but were eventually forced to abandon the position when a Japanese column broke through a different pass and threatened Linfen from the east. Wei was successful in preventing the Japanese from seizing the strategic Zhongtiao mountain range, but the loss of Linfen and Lingshi forced Yan to withdraw with what remained of his army across the Sariq daryo, into neighboring Shaanxi.^[63]

In the spring of 1938 the Japanese transferred many of their forces away from Shanxi, and Yan succeeded in re-establishing his authority, setting up a headquarters in the remote mountainous district of Qixian. The Japanese made several raids into southern Shanxi, but withdrew after encountering heavy resistance. By 1938 Yan's tactics had evolved to resemble the guerrilla warfare practiced by Communist forces in other parts of Shanxi, and his defenses featured coordination with Communist forces and regular divisions of the Nationalist army.^[64]

Yan's alliance with the Communists eventually suffered, as tensions escalated between the KMT and CCP in other parts of China. Yan himself eventually came to fear the rapid power and influence that Communist forces operating in Shanxi quickly gained, and this fear caused Yan to become increasingly hostile to Communist agents and soldiers. These tensions eventually led to the breakdown of his good relations with the Communists in 1939, when he began another offensive against the Japanese and attempted to wipe out the units of his army most friendly with the Communists by having them do most of the fighting. These units eventually rebelled against Yan, receiving assistance from the Communists, while soldiers aligned with the central government aided him. He eventually succeeded in driving the Communists and their sympathizers from the territory that he controlled, but most of the rural territory of northwestern Shanxi passed into the control of the Eighth Route Army. Yan's forces continued to battle the Japanese throughout 1940 as part of an indecisive guerrilla campaign.^[65]

Negotiations with the Japanese

In 1940 Yan's friend, Ryūkichi Tanaka, became chief of staff of the Yaponiya birinchi armiyasi, which was stationed in Shanxi. After Yan's animosity with the Communists became apparent, Tanaka began negotiations with Yan in an effort to induce him to enter into an anti-Communist alliance with Japan. Yan agreed to send a high-level representative to meet with the Japanese, and obtained permission from the central government to negotiate with them for an agreement to remove all troops from Shanxi in exchange for Yan's cooperation. Perhaps because the Japanese were unwilling to meet these demands, Yan withdrew from negotiations in December 1940, when Tanaka's superiors recalled him to Japan. Two months later the Japanese repeated their charge that Yan was a "dupe" of the Communists.^[66]

In May 1941 Tanaka returned to Shanxi and reopened negotiations with Yan, despite a general resistance from other Japanese military leaders in North China. Tanaka returned to Tokyo in August 1941, paving the way for talks between Yan and Gen. Yoshio Iwamatsu, then the commander of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi. In the summer of 1942 Yan told the Japanese that he would aid them in their fight against the Communists if the Japanese withdrew a large part of their forces from Shanxi and provided his army with food, weapons and CH$15 million of precious metals.^[67]

When Iwamatsu sent his chief of staff, Col. Tadashi Hanaya, to Qixian for the purpose of delivering what Yan demanded, Yan called the Japanese concessions inadequate and refused to negotiate with them. This refusal is variously explained as Yan's resentment over the arrogance of the Japanese, his conviction that they would lose the war in the Pacific after he heard about the Midvey jangi, and/or the result of a translation error that convinced him that the Japanese were using the negotiations as a ploy to ambush and attack him by surprise. Because they had allowed Yan to deceive them, Iwamatsu lost his command and Hanaya was reassigned to the Pacific.^[68]

After 1943 the Japanese began to negotiate with Yan clandestinely through civilian representatives (notably his friend Daisaku Komoto) in an effort to avoid being humiliated by him. Through Komoto's efforts Yan and the Japanese came to observe an informal cease-fire, though the terms of this agreement are unknown. By 1944 Yan's troops were actively battling the Communists, possibly with the cooperation and assistance of the Japanese. His relationship with Chiang also deteriorated by 1944, when Yan warned that the masses would turn to communism if Chiang's government did not improve considerably. An American reporter who visited Shanxi in 1944 observed that Yan "was thought of not necessarily as a puppet but rather as a compromise between the extremes of the treason at Nanjing and national resistance at Chongqing" by the Japanese.^[69]

Relationship with the Japanese after 1945

Keyin Yaponiyaning taslim bo'lishi va oxiri Ikkinchi jahon urushi, Yan Xishan was notable for his ability to recruit thousands of Japanese soldiers stationed in northwest Shanxi in 1945, including their commanding officers, into his army. He was known to have successfully used a variety of tactics to achieve these defections: flattery, face-saving gestures, appeals to idealism and genuine expressions of mutual interest. In cases where these were not completely successful, he sometimes resorted to "bribes and women". His tactics in both convincing the Japanese to stay and in preventing them from leaving were highly successful, as the efforts of the Japanese were instrumental in keeping the area surrounding Taiyuan free from Communist control for the four years before the Communists won the Xitoy fuqarolar urushi.^[70]

Yan was successful in keeping the presence of the Japanese from American and Nationalist observers. He was known for making shows of disarming Japanese, only to rearm them at night. In one instance he disarmed several units of Japanese, had a reporter take a picture of the stacked weapons to show that he was following orders, then gave the weapons back to the Japanese. He once officially labelled a detachment of Japanese troops as "railway repair laborers" in public records before sending them, fully armed, into areas without railway tracks but full of Communist insurgents.^[70]

By recruiting the Japanese into his service in the manner that he did, he retained both the extensive industrial complex around Taiyuan and virtually all of the managerial and technical personnel employed by the Japanese to run it. Yan was so successful in convincing surrendered Japanese to work for him that, as word spread to other areas of north China, Japanese soldiers from those areas began to converge on Taiyuan to serve his government and army. At its greatest strength the Japanese "special forces" under Yan totaled 15,000 troops, plus an officer corps that was distributed throughout Yan's army. These numbers were reduced to 10,000 after serious American efforts to repatriate the Japanese were partially successful. By 1949 casualties had reduced the number of Japanese soldiers under Yan's command to 3,000. The leader of the Japanese under Yan's command, Imomura Xosaku, committed suicide on the day that Taiyuan fell to Communist forces.^[71]

Fuqarolar urushi

Yan Xishan in 1947

Keyin Ikkinchi jahon urushi, Yan's forces (including thousands of former Japanese troops) held out against the Communists during the Xitoy fuqarolar urushi to'rt yil davomida. They held out until April 1949, after the Nationalist government had lost control of northern China, allowing the PLA to encircle and besiege his forces. The area surrounding the provincial capital of Taiyuan was the longest to resist Communist control.

The Shangdang Campaign

The Shangdang Campaign was the first battle between Communist and KMT forces after World War II. It began as an attempt by Yan (authorized by Chiang Qay-shek ) to re-assert control over southern Shanxi, where the Xalq ozodlik armiyasi was known to be especially active. At the same time Yan's former general, Fu Zuoyi, had captured several important cities in Ichki Mo'g'uliston: Baotu va Hohxot. If both Yan and Fu had been successful, they would have cut off the Communist headquarters in Yan'an from their forces in Shimoliy-sharqiy Xitoy. The local commander, Lyu Bocheng (later named one of China's "Ten Great Marshals ), decided to direct his forces against Yan in order to prevent this from happening. Liu's political commissar was Den Syaoping, who later became China's "birinchi darajali rahbar ".^[72]

The initial skirmishes of the campaign were fought on August 19, 1945, when Yan dispatched 16,000 troops under Shi Zebo shahrini egallash Changji, in southeast Shanxi. On September 1 Liu arrived with 31,000 troops and encircled Changzhi. After initial engagements between Shi Zebo and Liu Bocheng's forces, Shi barricaded his forces inside the regional center of Chengzhi. Liu's army occupied the area surrounding Chengzhi, but was not able to take the city, leading to a stalemate.^[72]

After it became clear that Liu's forces were in danger of being defeated, Yan sent 20,000 more troops, commanded by Peng Yubin, to reinforce Shi and break the siege. Liu responded by concentrating his forces against Peng, leaving only a screening force behind to carry out low-level suppression activities in Changzhi.^[72] Most of the forces left behind in Changzhi were selected from a local 50,000-man irregular militia unit, which had been used by Liu mainly for logistical support.

Peng was initially successful in defeating PLA detachments, but eventually his forces were led into an ambush. He was killed, and his army quickly surrendered en masse. When Shi realized that he had no hope of relief he attempted to break out and flee to Taiyuan on October 8, but was caught on open ground, ambushed and forced to surrender on October 10.^[73] He was taken as a prisoner of war.

Although both forces suffered the same amount of dead or wounded—4,000-5,000—the Communists were able to capture 31,000 of Yan's troops, who surrendered once they fell into these ambushes. After surrendering, most of Yan's forces were subjected to organized persuasion or coercion and eventually joined the Communists.^[74] Most of the PLA casualties in the campaign occurred when they attempted to confront Peng's reinforcements in an orthodox battle, allowing Yan's forces to successfully target Liu's troops with their superior arms. After these tactics failed, PLA forces were able to kill or capture both Shi's and Peng's forces by leading them each into a series of well-orchestrated ambushes.

The Shangdang Campaign ended with the Communists in firm control of southern Shanxi. Because the army fielded by Yan was much better supplied and armed, the victory allowed the local PLA to acquire far more arms than had previously been available to them (including, for the first time, field artillery). It is said that the PLA victory in the Shangdang campaign altered the course of the ongoing Chongqing peace negotiations, allowing Mao Szedun to act from a stronger negotiating position. Their victory in the Shangdang campaign boosted the long-term prestige of both Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping.^[75] Following the campaign, Liu left a small force behind to defend southern Shanxi, leading most of his best units and captured equipment to confront the forces of Sun Lianzhong ichida Pinghan Campaign.^[76]

In 1946 Communist forces in Shimoliy-g'arbiy Xitoy identified the capture of Yan's capital of Taiyuan as one of their main objectives, and throughout 1946 and 1947 Yan was constantly involved in efforts to defend the north and retake the south.^[77] These efforts were only temporarily successful, and by the winter of 1947 his control of Shanxi was restricted to the area of northern Shanxi adjacent to Taiyuan. Yan observed that the Communists were growing stronger and predicted that within six months they would rule half of China. After losing southern Shanxi Yan undertook preparations to defend Taiyuan to the death, perhaps in the hopes that if he and other anti-Communist leaders could hold out long enough the United States would eventually join the war on their side, saving his forces from destruction.^[78]

The Taiyuan Campaign

During the siege of Taiyuan, Yan told foreign journalists that he and his followers would swallow cyanide pills before they let the PLA take Shanxi. Many of his followers committed suicide when Taiyuan fell.

By 1948 Yan's forces had suffered a succession of serious military defeats by the PLA, losing control of southern and central Shanxi, and were surrounded on all sides by territory controlled by the Communists. Anticipating an assault on northern Shanxi, Yan prepared his armies by fortifying over 5,000 bunkers, constructed over the rugged natural terrain surrounding Taiyuan. The Nationalist 30th Army was airlifted from Xian to Taiyuan to fortify the city, which was protected by over 600 pieces of artillery. Yan repeatedly declared his intentions to die in the city during this period. The total number of Nationalist troops present in northern Shanxi by the fall of 1948 was 145,000.

To overcome these defenses, the Communist commander Xu Sianqian developed a strategy of engaging positions on the outskirts of Taiyuan before besieging the city itself. The first hostilities in the Taiyuan Campaign occurred on October 5, 1948. By November 13 the Communists succeeded in taking the area around the eastern side of Taiyuan. The Nationalists suffered serious setbacks when entire divisions defected or surrendered. In one case, a Nationalist division led by Dai Bingnan pretended to surrender, but then arrested the Communist officers who entered Dai's camp to accept. Yan Xishan mistakenly believed the leader of the arrested group, Jin Fu, was the high-ranking Communist leader Xu Yaobang (who the Nationalists believed was active in the region). Yen airlifted the captured group to Chiang Kai-shek, who executed them after they failed to produce important information. Dai himself was rewarded with a large amount of gold for his actions, but was not allowed to be airlifted out of Taiyuan. After the city fell he was captured, tried in a well-propagandized show trial and publicly executed.

Between November 1948 and April 1949 a stalemate was reached and there was little advancement by either side. Tactics used by the Communists during this time included psixologik urush, such as forcing relatives of the Nationalist defenders to the front to ask for the defenders' surrender. These tactics were successful as, from December 1, 1948, through March 1949, over 12,000 Nationalist soldiers surrendered.

Keyin major PLA victories in Hebei in late January, 1949, Communist armies in Shanxi were reinforced with additional troops and artillery. After this reinforcement, the total number of men under Liu's command exceeded 320,000, of which 220,000 were reserves. By the end of 1948 Yan Xishan had lost over 40,000 troops, but attempted to supplement this number through large-scale conscription.

Yan Xishan himself (along with most of the provincial treasury) was airlifted out of Taiyuan in March 1949 for the express purpose of asking the central government for more supplies. He left behind Sun Chu as the commander of his military police force, with Yan's son-in-law, Vang Tszingu, in charge of most Nationalist forces. Overall command was delegated to Imomura Xosaku, the Japanese lieutenant-general who had joined Yan after World War II.^[79]

Shortly after Yan was airlifted out of Taiyuan, Nationalist planes stopped dropping food and supplies for the defenders due to fears of being shot down by the advancing Communists.^[79] The Communists, depending largely on their reinforcements of artillery, launched a major assault on April 20, 1949, and succeeded in taking all positions surrounding Taiyuan by April 22. A subsequent appeal to the defenders to surrender was refused. On the morning of April 22, 1949, the PLA bombarded Taiyuan with 1,300 pieces of artillery and breached the city's walls, initiating bloody street-to-street fighting for control of the city. At 10:00 am, April 22, the Taiyuan Campaign ended with the Communists in complete control of Shanxi. Umumiy millatchilarning qurbonlari 145000 nafar himoyachilarni tashkil etdi, ularning aksariyati asir sifatida qabul qilindi. Kommunistlar 45 ming kishini va ular chaqirgan fuqarolik ishchilarining noma'lum sonini yo'qotdilar, ularning hammasi o'ldirilgan yoki yaralangan.^[80]

Oxirgi fidoyilik harakatida Liang qamoqxonani yoqib yubordi va o'z joniga qasd qildi.^[80]

O'tgan yillar

Xitoy Respublikasi Bosh vaziri

1949 yil mart oyida Yan Nanjing poytaxtiga markaziy hukumatdan ko'proq oziq-ovqat va o'q-dorilar so'rab, viloyat xazinasining katta qismini olib ketish maqsadida uchib ketdi va Tayuan kommunistik kuchlar qo'liga o'tguncha qaytib kelmadi. Nankinga kelganidan ko'p o'tmay, Yan o'zini Xitoy Respublikasi amaldagi prezidenti o'rtasidagi janjalga solib qo'ydi, Li Zongren, va 1949 yil yanvar oyida prezidentlikdan ketgan Chiang Kay-Shek. Chiang iste'foga chiqqan bo'lsa-da, ko'plab amaldorlar va generallar unga sodiq qolishdi va Chiang 200 million AQSh dollaridan ko'proq mablag'ni saqlab qoldi, u Li uchun foydalanishga ruxsat bermadi. kommunistlarga qarshi kurashish yoki valyutani barqarorlashtirish uchun. Li va Chiang o'rtasida davom etayotgan hokimiyat uchun kurash kommunistik kuchlardan millatchi hududlarni himoya qilish bo'yicha katta sa'y-harakatlarni jiddiy ravishda buzdi.^[81]

Yan o'z sa'y-harakatlarini Li va Chiang o'rtasida katta hamkorlikni rivojlantirishga urinishga qaratdi. Bir safar u Chianning iltimosiga binoan Lini iste'foga chiqmaslikka ishontirishga urinayotganda u ko'z yoshlarini to'kdi. U bir necha bor Shanxi yo'qolganini misolida keltirgan va Li va Chiangning munosabatlari yaxshilanmaguncha millatchilik sababi halokatga uchrashi haqida ogohlantirgan. Nihoyat Li hukumatni tuzishga urindi, shu bilan birga Chiang tarafdorlari va tanqidchilari, Yan bosh vazir sifatida. Yanning urinishlariga qaramay, Chiang Liga Chiang yuborgan boylikning bir qismidan ko'proqrog'iga kirishni rad etdi Tayvan va Chiangga sodiq zobitlar Lining buyrug'iga amal qilishdan bosh tortdilar, millatchilarning mudofaasini muvofiqlashtirish va valyutani barqarorlashtirish bo'yicha umidsizlikka uchragan harakatlar.^[82]

1949 yil oxiriga kelib millatchilarning pozitsiyasi umidsiz bo'lib qoldi. Markaziy hukumat chiqargan valyuta deyarli befoyda bo'lmaguncha tez pasayib ketdi. Liga sodiq bo'lgan harbiy kuchlar himoya qilishga urinishdi Guandun va Guansi, Chiangga sodiq bo'lganlar himoya qilishga urinishgan Sichuan. Ikkala kuch ham bir-biri bilan hamkorlik qilishdan bosh tortdi va natijada ikkala mintaqaning ham yo'qolishiga olib keldi. Yanning har ikki tomon bilan ishlashga bo'lgan doimiy urinishlari uni Li va Chiangdan chetlashtirilishiga olib keldi, ular Yanning ikkala tomon bilan hamkorlik qilgani uchun g'azablandilar. Kommunistlar 1949 yil oxirida materikda joylashgan barcha hududlarni egallashga muvaffaq bo'lishdi va Li va Chiangni mag'lub etishdi. Li AQShda surgun qilingan, Yan esa Tayvanda Premer lavozimida ishlashni davom ettirgan, 1950 yilgacha Chiang prezidentlikka qayta kirgunga qadar.^[83]

Yan Shanxi-ni modernizatsiya qilishga urinishlariga samimiy munosabatda bo'lib, ba'zi masalalarda muvaffaqiyatga erishdi. Kommunistlar tomonidan Shanxi shahridan chiqarib yuborilgan paytga qadar viloyat ko'mir, temir, kimyoviy moddalar va o'q-dorilar ishlab chiqaruvchi yirik davlat edi.^[89] Yanning Xitoy tibbiyotini takomillashtirish bo'yicha tadqiqot assotsiatsiyasini xayrixohlik bilan qo'llab-quvvatlaganligi, zamonaviy Xitoy tibbiyotida o'qitish va nashr etishning asosini yaratdi, bu 1950-yillarda qabul qilingan zamonaviy an'anaviy xitoy tibbiyoti milliy institutining asoslaridan biriga aylandi.^[12] Uning hukmronligi davomida u keyinchalik qabul qilingan, ammo o'z vaqtida juda ziddiyatli bo'lgan ijtimoiy islohotlarni ilgari surishga harakat qildi: oyoq bog'lashni bekor qilish; uydan tashqarida ayollar uchun ishlash; umumiy boshlang'ich ta'lim; armiyaning asosiy bo'lagi sifatida dehqon militsiyalarining mavjudligi. Ehtimol, u o'z davrida o'z viloyatiga eng ko'p sodiq bo'lgan sarkardadir, ammo doimo o'zining diletantligi va o'z amaldorlarining xudbinligi va qobiliyatsizligi bilan kurashgan.^[90]

Garchi Yan doimo islohotlarning maqsadga muvofiqligi va ehtiyoji haqida gapirgan bo'lsa-da, 1930-yillarga qadar u Shanxi muvaffaqiyatli modernizatsiya qilish uchun zarur bo'lgan islohotlarga o'xshash narsalarni amalga oshirish uchun juda konservativ bo'lib qoldi. Uning 20-asrning 20-yillarida amalga oshirgan islohotlarga oid ko'plab urinishlari avvalgi avlodlar tomonidan amalga oshirilgan Tongji shahrini tiklash. Ushbu Tsing sulolasi islohotchilari o'zlarining islohotlarini o'z davridagi muammolarni echimini etarli darajada emas deb topishgan va Namuna gubernatori davrida bu islohotlar bir xil darajada qoniqarsiz edi. 1930-yillar davomida Yan radikal ijtimoiy va iqtisodiy siyosatga tobora ochiq bo'lib qoldi, shu jumladan, soliqlarni soliqqa tortish, davlat boshchiligidagi sanoatlashtirish, pul iqtisodiyotiga qarshi turish, funktsional ("axloqiy") ta'limga yo'nalish va keng assimilyatsiya orqali boyliklarni qayta taqsimlash. G'arb texnologiyasi. Sovet uslubidagi iqtisodiy siyosatni qabul qilganiga va ijtimoiy islohotlarga tobora ko'proq radikal urinishlarga qaramay, Yan o'z faoliyati davomida "konservativ" sifatida qaraldi va "konservativ" atamasini zamonaviy Xitoy tarixi doirasida ehtiyotkorlik bilan ishlatishni taklif qildi.^[91]

Yan davridan keyin Shanxi saytga aylandi Mao Szedun ning "namunaviy brigadasi" ning Dajay: utopik kommunistik sxema Xiyang okrugi bu boshqa barcha dehqonlar uchun taqlid qilish uchun namuna bo'lishi kerak edi. Agar Dajay aholisi bunday tajriba uchun juda mos bo'lgan bo'lsa, ehtimol Yanning sotsialistik aqidasi Shanxi aholisini kommunistik boshqaruvga tayyorlagan bo'lishi mumkin. Mao vafotidan so'ng, tajriba to'xtatildi va aksariyat dehqonlar xususiy dehqonchilikka qaytishdi.^[90]
