Introduction: Since ancient times, the territory of the Chinese nation has been sacred and inviolable, and no wavering is allowed in the face of the state and sovereignty. Under his leadership, Ulanfu became the only autonomous region before the founding of New China, making great contributions to the development of Inner Mongolia, and today we are talking about another inner Mongolian hero, Xu Shuzheng.
Some people say that he is a national hero and a hero in the recovery of Outer Mongolia, and some people say that he is a sinner, because because of him, China has lost Outer Mongolia! So what are they all about? Let's first tell a story from the Chu-Han War. At that time, General Han Xin led the Han army to be invincible, and along the way, the capitals of Zhao, Dai, Wei, and Yan were attacked, and the army led by Han Xin became a frightening army, at which time Han Xin set his target towards the State of Qi.
When Han Xin was about to launch an attack, Liu Bang sent a strategist from Li Shi to persuade the King of Qi, and at the insistence of Li Shi, he successfully moved the King of Qi to surrender.
At that time, Han Xin had already made up his mind to attack the State of Qi to expand his sphere of influence, he decisively chose to give up the hard-earned achievements of Li Shi and decided to attack the State of Qi, and soon the State of Qi fell under Han Xin's attack, and when the King of Qi learned of Han Xin's attack, he was very angry, believing that Li Shi had deceived him and cooked him to death.
Han Xin established himself as king after the attack, evolving from a general to a prince who divided one side, which also became a turning point in Han Xin's life.
The reality of Outer Mongolia bears a great deal of resemblance to this story. After the Qing Emperor announced his abdication, Outer Mongolia only nominally belonged to China, and in fact was already in a state of independence. After the end of the First World War, due to the chaos of the international situation, Outer Mongolia was reluctant to get involved in international chaos.
Many of the Nobles of Outer Mongolia had the idea of returning to China. At that time, Chen Yi was in charge of the affairs of Outer Mongolia.
In 1915, he also participated in the signing of the Sino-Russian-Mongolian Pact, which stipulated that Outer Mongolia recognized the suzerainty of our country, Outer Mongolia was an inseparable part of China's territory, and outer Mongolia retained the right to autonomy, and the state could not transfer troops to Outer Mongolia, immigration and other specific regulations. After the treaty was signed, Chen Yi came to UriaSutai and served as a judge.
After the outbreak of the revolution in Russia, a large number of troops began to withdraw from Outer Mongolia, and in desperation, Chen Yi requested the beiyang government at that time to send troops to Outer Mongolia to recover the then Tangnu Wuliang Sea. At Chen Yi's strong insistence, the Altai region became xinjiang's territory, and to this day it remains an integral part of China's Xinjiang.
Chen Yi advocated the establishment of banks in Outer Mongolia, the introduction of Chinese currency, and the establishment of automobile companies to continuously strengthen the ties between Outer Mongolia and the Chinese provinces. On the return of Outer Mongolia to the motherland, Chen Yi continued to carry out ideological work to the then Outer Mongolian government, trying to persuade the Mongolian nobles to give up autonomy, and under his efforts, Outer Mongolia agreed to Chen Yi's request, and just when the revolution was about to be victorious, Xu Shuzheng appeared.
Xu Shuzheng was a general under Duan Qirui, always proud and complacent, when Chen Yi negotiated with Outer Mongolia, he served as a border envoy in the northwest, in his eyes, Chen Yi was just a literati, unwilling to give chen Yi the credit, he privately denied all of Chen Yi's efforts, and he forcibly ordered the nobles to give up the autonomy of Outer Mongolia. In November, Outer Mongolia officially renounced its autonomy, and Xu Shuzheng took away Chen Yi's credit.
After learning the news, the whole country rejoiced, and Xu Shuzheng also had a high evaluation, and even Mr. Zhongshan praised Xu Shuzheng for this matter. However, due to Xu Shuzheng's tough attitude at that time, ethnic contradictions continued to intensify. Many people were immersed in cheers, and only Bi Guifang calmly thought about the matter and criticized Xu Shuzheng's tough attitude and tactics in fighting for autonomy.
Summary: Soon our country was caught in the melee of warlords, and with the fall of Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng also lost his dependence. The government reassigned Chen Yi to take over the affairs of Outer Mongolia, and by the time he arrived, the situation here had changed dramatically: the Soviet-Russian war had ended, the Mongol nobility had chosen independence, and although Chen Yi tried to establish provinces, it could not change the outcome.
In 1920, Soviet government troops officially entered Outer Mongolia and repelled the Beiyang army stationed in Outer Mongolia at the time. In this way, Outer Mongolia fell into the hands of the Soviet Union. Since 1920, Outer Mongolia has officially become a vassal state of the Soviet Union, and twenty-five years later, Outer Mongolia has declared formal independence, so Chen Yi is a well-deserved national hero.
