peaceful liberation of Beiping（中國大陸、香港、澳門作peaceful liberation of Beiping），It was the end of the Second Nationalist-Communist Civil War Pingjin Battle in China.On 15 January 1949, the Republic of China National Army garrison in Tianjin was completely annihilated by the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the nationalist defenders in Beiping (today's Beijing) were left in a desperate situation 。On the 16th, Deng Baoshan, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the North China Banditry Headquarters, met with Lin Biao, Luo Ronghuan, and Nie Rongzhen on behalf of the Commander-in-Chief, Fu Zuoyi, to discuss peace, and the two sides reached an Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Peking on the 21st, which was signed by Fu Zuoyi on the 22nd, and the eight armies of Fu Zuoyi's forces in Peking, numbering 250,000 defenders, were withdrawn one after another according to the agreement city, ready to accept the People's Liberation Army's reorganisation On the 31st, the PLA peacefully entered the city, ending the Pingjin Campaign. The Military Control Committee of the People's Liberation Army in Beiping took over the Beiping Municipal Government and the Hebei Provincial Government. By this time, the Communist Party regime had taken control of the major cities of North China and several districts 。

Name

The Government of the People's Republic of China called it the "Liberation of Beiping". The Government of the People's Republic of China called it the "Fall of Beiping". Other names include "The Changing of the Banner in Beiping", "Peaceful Occupation of Peking by the Chinese Communists", "The Occupation of Peking.", "Peaceful Occupation of Peking by the People's Liberation Army.".

Before Pingjin Campaign

In October 1947, due to the war situation, the Hebei Provincial Government was moved from Baoding to Beiping, and in November, the People's Liberation Army captured Shimen City (present-day Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province), linking the Jinchahi Border Region to the Hebei, Jili, Luhu, and Yu Border Regions. By the time the new chairman, Chuxi Chun, took office, Hebei Province had control over only 20 counties out of the 130 counties under its jurisdiction, most of which were located along the railroads. 。

In May 1948, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the PLA Headquarters moved to Fuping County, Xibaipo, and on September 26, the CPC regime established the People's Government of North China. Earlier, on September 5, the North China Field Army attacked Fu Zuoyi's base in Suiyuan, forcing Fu Zuoyi to send 10 divisions from Peking and Zhangjiakou to his rescue. Mobilized by Chiang Chung-cheng, Fu Zuoyi planned a surprise attack on Shijiazhuang under the slogan of rescuing Taiyuan, which in turn led to the breach of the then headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Unexpectedly, the information was obtained by the PLA and published by the Xinhua News Agency, and Fu Zuoyi had to withdraw his plan .

After the Liao-Shen Battle, the Northeast Field Army had completely occupied the Northeast China, and the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China (CMC) was ready to launch the Pingjin Battle. In a telegram sent by the Central Military Commission to Lin Biao, Luo Ronghuan, and Liu Yalou on November 18, 1948, the Central Military Commission said, "Fu Zuoyi has approached us for an uprising through Peng Zexiang and Fu Dingyi (who is not a member of the party) and it is claimed that Fu's uprising has been roughly decided. At present, we are considering the timing of the uprising, dealing with Chiang's forces in North China, and contacting our Party. Fu Dingyi has now arrived at Shimen (now Shijiazhuang) and will meet with him tomorrow and the day after tomorrow ."

Trilateral negotiation

Fu Zuoyi's main civilian advisor Yan Yuwen was a member of the CCP underground, and all of his ideas and war plans were passed on to Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Mao Zedong to keep him at the back of the queue, and even more importantly Fu Zuoyi's daughter, Fu Dong, was a member of the CCP underground, and was transferred by the CCP to Fu Zuoyi in November 1948 to persuade his father to surrender, and to establish a channel of communication through her. In November 1948, the CPC transferred her to Fu Zuoyi's side to convince his father to surrender on the one hand, and on the other hand, the two sides established a channel of communication through her, which was a key to the final outcome.

First time

background situation：On 12 December 1948, the Northeastern Field Army's 11th column had advanced into Changping's White Sheep City 。On the 13th, the approaching The PLA in Beiping had already captured the northern suburbs of Summer Palace, Tsinghua Garden, Yanjing University, the southern suburb of Nanyuan Airport, and the western side had almost reached the city walls causing the General Supervision Department of North China to hastily move from Wanshou Road to the more central Zhongnanhai district, shaking the military's morale.

In mid-December 1948, the Pingjin Battle had begun, and Beiping was in the unfavourable position of being under military siege.On 10 December, Fu Zuoyi met with Li Bingquan. Li was the cousin of Li Tengjiu, the Major General Director of the Liaison Office of the North China Expeditionary General, and a member of the CCP underground party. Subsequently, Fu Zuoyi tentatively sent Cui Zaizhi as his representative, together with Li Bingquan, with a radio station and a radio operator and translator to the Pingjin Front of the People's Liberation Army|Location of the Command in Jixian County.On the 17th, Cui Zaizhi and the others arrived at Bailizhuang in Jixian County.On the 18th, the 11th Column of the Northeastern Field Army telephoned the Commander: "Li Bingquan, a member of our underground party staff in Beiping, led Fu's representative to our side for talks."

On the 19th, Cui Jaizhi held formal negotiations with Liu Yalou, Chief of Staff of the Northeast Field Army. On behalf of Fu Zuoyi, Cui Zaizhi put forward three conditions for the peace talks: the PLA would stop all attacking actions, the two armies would retreat, and a peaceful solution would be reached through negotiations on the line of Ping, Jin, Zhang, and Tang; in order to get some of Chiang Kai-shek's large planes, the PLA would concede Nanyuan Airport; and, in order to constrain the Central Army in the city, the PLA would release the 35th Army, which had been encircled by Xin Bao'an, back to Peking. In addition, Cui stated that Fu Zuoyi was willing to participate in the North China Coalition Government and that the army would be put under the command of the Coalition Government. Liu Yalou, on the other hand, elaborated on the basic principles of the CCP side for a peaceful settlement of the Pingjin issue: laying down arms and disarming as a prerequisite, never allowing the retention of arms; no establishment of a North China coalition government; and arresting the army and division commanders of the Central Army who did not surrender. If these conditions were agreed to, Fu Zuoyi's own life and the lives and private property of himself and his subordinates could be safeguarded against loss. After Cui Zaizhi reported the negotiations to Li Tengjiu, Li relayed them to Fu Zuoyi, who stated, "The Central Army in Beiping City has more than ten times more troops than I do; my troops can lay down their arms, but the rest I can't control." The difference in conditions between the two sides was too great to conclude.27 Fu Zuoyi was included in the List of civil war war criminals published in the People's Daily 。Fu Zuoyi secretly telegraphed Cui to return to Peking to report on the negotiations, and Li stayed behind with his radio and telegraph operator and interpreter in order to make contact 。

It is also said that Fu Zuoyi sent a telegram to Mao Zedong as early as 23 December, when the PLA attacked Zhangjiakou, indicating that he was willing to extinguish the fire and achieve early peace talks with the Communists. 。Nanjing learned of the wind and sent a general, Minister of National Defence Xu Yongchang to Beiping in person, expecting to stabilise and draw Fu Zuoyi and the military heart, the next best thing is to at least hope to persuade him to lead the army to give up the city and withdraw southwards to the Yangtze River defence line to fight a defensive war.

While contacting and negotiating with Fu Zuoyi, the CPC began preparations to take over the city of Beiping. The CPC Central Committee and the North China Bureau decided to form the Party, Political, and Military Leadership Bodies in Beiping.On 13 December, the Central Military Commission (CMC) appointed Nie Rongzhen as the garrison commander of the Pingjin District, and Bo Yibo as a political commissar. The CPC Central Committee appointed Peng Zhen as Secretary of the CPC Beiping Municipal Committee, and Ye Jianying as First Deputy Secretary of the CPC Beiping Municipal Committee, as well as Director of the Beiping Municipal Military Control Commission and Mayor of Beiping.17 On the 17th, the first meeting of the CPC Beiping Municipal Committee was held in Baoding City. That night, the Beiping Municipal Committee personnel departed from Baoding and arrived in Zhuo County in the early morning of the 18th.24 On the 24th, Ye Jianying made a report, announcing that the takeover of the suburbs of Beiping had begun and preparing for the later takeover of the urban area of Beiping 。

second time

background situation：Fu's two main armies were trapped in Zhangjiakou and Xinbaoan and could not be withdrawn. Xu Yongchang's plan to withdraw southward with his troops was no longer possible, and on December 22nd the PLA attacked the 35th Army, which had been attacking Xinbaoan in general.

The 35th Army was equipped with all American equipment and tanks, Fu also ordered all the planes in Beiping to take off and bombard in support of the 35th Army, but unexpectedly in just one day the 35th Army was completely wiped out with more than 20,000 men, and the commander of the army, Guo Jingyun committed suicide, and on the 23rd in Zhangjiakou, the 105th Army and the 258th Division of the 104th Army, etc., on the way to withdraw to the city were attacked and were wiped out in a few hours, and the battle situation of the two days resulted in a great shock to Fu Zuoyi and his troops in the city. This short two-day battle caused Fu Zuoyi and the troops in the city to be greatly shaken, and their two main forces collapsed very quickly. The remaining two divisions of the 104th Army collapsed at Huailai. Only one division of the 35th Army, two divisions of the 101st Army and the "Generalissimo" guard corps remained in Beiping. At this time, the Central Army in Beiping consisted of more than 100,000 troops, including Li Wen's 4th Corps and Shi Jue's 9th Corps, which were several times larger than Fu's troops. Among them, the 4th Corps was adapted from the forces of Baoding Pacification Office, and its commander Li Wen and the commander of the 16th Army under his command, Yuan Park, were all first-generation students of Huangpu; Shijue's 9th Corps, on the other hand, was expanded from the basic force of Tang Enbo's 13th Corps, and its army commanders and division commanders were basically Tang Enbo's close confidants. Fu Zuoyi urgently adjusted the military deployment in the city of Beiping, and relocated the North China Banditry Headquarters at Princess Tomb in the western suburbs to the former site of the KMT Beiping Regiment, i.e. Juren Hall in Zhongnanhai. At the same time, all the Fu system troops were concentrated in the western city around Zhongnanhai, controlling the line of Fuchengmen, Xizhimen and Deshengmen, and deploying a field artillery regiment on Jingshan. The Central Department troops were concentrated in the north, south and east of Beiping.

The second round of negotiations took place from January 6 to 10, 1949, when Fu's main force, the 35th Army, had been annihilated and the victory or defeat of the Battle of Pingjin had been decided. Previously, on January 1st, [the Military Control Commission of the Peiping City of the People's Liberation Army] was established, Ye Jianying as the director, ready to take over Peiping. He sent a professor [Zhou Beifeng] and a director of the North China General Branch [China Democratic Alliance] and a professor [Zhang Dongsun] to [Yanjing University] to [Hebei][Jixian] eight lizhuang, with the leaders of the Pingjin Front Command [Lin Biao], [Nie Ronghuan] and [Liu Yalou]. The Chinese Communist Party proposed a plan to reorganize the [Republic of China Army] and claimed to be innocent of Fu's rebellion. The two sides tentatively signed the Minutes of the Talks but did not reach a conclusion, Mao Zedong said that four days later, the city must surrender before midnight on the 14th, and Fu hesitated again .

Third time

background situation：On 13 January, the PLA attacked Tianjin. In only 29 hours, more than 100,000 people of the garrison's Sixth Group Army were defeated, countless people fled and were defeated, and Chen Changjie, the commander of the defending city, was captured.

1949年2月12日，北平市各界在天安門城樓及其前面的廣場上召開「慶祝北平 和平解放大會」。圖為召開大會時的天安門。北平市市長葉劍英在大會上發表了講話。

Tianjin, which was originally expected to be able to defend for 30 days, could not even defend for 30 hours. Fu Zuoyi knew that the situation was over and there were no conditions for further negotiation, so he could only surrender unconditionally to avoid the destruction of the ancient monuments in Beiping by the war, and finally to leave a good name in history.

against Mao Zedong's eight conditions for peace talks. Fu sent Deng Baoshan and Zhou Beifeng as plenipotentiaries to the Pingjin Front Command headquarters at Wuliqiao, west of Tongxian, to negotiate with Lin Biao, Nie Rongzhen, Luo Ronghuan and Liu Yalou.

The negotiations were successful, and on the 16th the two sides signed 14 articles of the Preliminary Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of Beiping 。On 16 January, Mao Zedong, writing on behalf of Lin Biao and Luo Ronghuan, issued an ultimatum to Fu Zuoyi, with a final period of reflection from 0100 hours on 17 January to 1200 hours on 21 January 。On the afternoon of 16 January 1949, Fu Zuoyi sent out invitations to scholars and celebrities in Beiping to gather at Zhongnanhai to discuss the direction of the situation. More than 20 people attended, including Xu Beihong, Zhu Guangqian, and Xu Deheng, and the artist Xu Beihong and the botanist Hu Xianxian were in favour of the Chinese Communist Party's idea of peace, which saved the ancient city of Peking from the flames of war. 。On 17 January, Jiang Zhongzheng begged Fu Zuoyi to allow a Nanjing plane to land in Beiping to pick up Central Army officers above the rank of major and attempted to assassinate former mayor He Siyuan, who had approached him to join the Communist Party. The bomb exploded the following night, injuring He Siyuan and killing his youngest daughter, He Lumei. 。On the 19th representatives of the two sides consulted at the North China General Suppression Army Friendship Office in the city and added 18 articles to the body of the agreement and 4 annexes, making a total of 22 articles. The Chief of Staff of the Northeastern Field Army Su Jing and the Chief of Political and Labour Department of the North China General Expeditionary Committee Wang Kejun and Cui Zaizhi signed the Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Problem of Peking on behalf of the two sides. 。

In mid-January, shortly after the PLA 41st Army received a peace delegation from all sectors of the Beiping community headed by He Siyuan, it received instructions from the Pingjin Front Command that after the change of sovereignty in Beiping, the 41st Army would be tasked with guarding the city. No other field army units were allowed to enter the city; 41st Army Commander Wu Kehua, Political Commissar Mo Wenhua, Deputy Political Commissar Ouyang Wen, and Chief of Staff Li Fuzhe were not permitted to enter the city until 13 April, when the 41st Army left Beiping and moved south to occupy the south-central region. Announcement of the establishment of the "Beiping City Police Command" was made to the whole society of Beiping:

By order of the Headquarters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army: In order to ensure the security of Beiping and to safeguard the order of the revolution, we hereby set up the Beiping Municipal Police Command and appoint Cheng Zihua as the Commander and Political Commissar, Peng Mingzhi, Wu Kexhua as the Vice-Commanders, and Mo Wenhua as the Vice-Political Commissar, and herewith issue a seal of the Guanding Department of the Beiping Municipal Police Command. A seal was issued with the order "Beiping City Police Command Guan-Defence". Cheng Zihua and others will take up their duties on the same day and perform their duties under the leadership of the Beiping Military Control Committee. This notice is hereby issued for your information.

On the morning of 21 January, Fu Zuoyi convened a meeting of senior generals of the North China Suppression Army and above at the Juren Hall in Zhongnanhai to announce the acceptance of the peaceful reorganisation of the National Army defenders in the city of Peking, to study how to fulfil the agreement, and to notify the whole country of the Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Peking through the Peking Branch of the Kuomintang's Central News Agency 。The venue was guarded by Fu's direct troops, and once inside the venue, the generals were cut off from their troops. Yuan Park, Shi Jue and Li Wen raised their unwillingness to stay in Peking and asked to be released to return to Nanking. In order to reduce the resistance to the implementation of the peace agreement, Fu Zuoyi agreed to release them to return to Nanjing. On the following day (22 January) the direct generals of the Central Army left Peking, and Fu Zuoyi signed the Agreement on the Peaceful Settlement of the Problem in Peking and made a radio speech. The defenders began to withdraw until a division of the PLA's 41st Army entered the city from Xizhimen on the 31st, and two divisions of the 41st Army led by Commander Wu Kexua entered the city on the 1st of February, with all gates, warehouses and key departments being guarded by 41st Army troops wearing the "Peace Police" armband. Mao Zedong issued his "Statement on the Current Situation" on 2 February, and on 3 February the PLA held an official ceremony to enter the city, without Fu Zuoyi.

On the evening of January 21, Fu Zuoyi announced the "Circular on the Departure of All Defending Troops from the City to Await Reorganization," and from January 21 to 30, all of the 200,000-odd defending troops of Beiping were sent to a designated place outside the city to undergo reorganization and political reorganization and training. Those who were willing to stay were organized into various departments of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), including about 50,000 in the Northeast, 53,000 in North China, and 24,000 in Northwest China, and this work was basically completed by April 10th. The 19th Military Police Regiment in Beiping was not under the jurisdiction of Fu Zuoyi's "General Command of the North China Expeditionary General Headquarters", but was directly under the command of the Military Police Command in Nanjing. The 250,000 troops under Fu Zuoyi's command were reorganized, excluding the 3,100-strong 19th Military Police Regiment, which took off its uniform on January 31, 1949 and disappeared into the city.
