...land two at once. Sung Cheh-yuan, Chinese commandant of the Peiping and Tientsin garrisons, and Yin Ju-keng, commissioner of the demilitarized zone in North China, who obligingly sent out a general telegram demanding autonomy for North China.

It went on angling hopefully for Yen Hsi-shan, Shansi's "Model Governor," and Han Fu-chu: Shantung's greedy Governor...
