On November 24, 1935, Yin Rugeng issued the founding declaration of the "Jidong Anti-Communism Self-Government" in Tongzhou, raising the banner of "Anti-Jiang Anti-Communism Alliance". In the declaration, Yin Rugeng disregarded the interests and feelings of the people of China, showing his complete traitor face. The declaration said:
The National Government has been in power for more than eight years. During this period, most of them were for the benefit of political parties. There was no good implementation. The government was full of bad things that did not conform to the will of the people. We should follow the way of Confucius and seek to realize a new paradise. Now that the "common bandits" were approaching, the people of neighboring provinces would suffer. Yin Rugeng was now ready to fight against the request of the four million people in the area and resolutely rose to seek self-rescue. From this day on, we will separate from the central government and declare autonomy. We will unite with the provinces to seek peace in the East.
This so-called "Jidong autonomous government" included 22 counties, covering an area of 260,000 square kilometers. This meant that Jidong would become the territory of China under the control of Japan after the "autonomy". All kinds of industrial and mining resources, industry, agriculture, and taxation would fall into the hands of the Japanese, and it could also provide Japan with a base for drug trafficking and smuggling, as well as a shelter for bandits and traitors. After Yin Rugeng's declaration was released, the entire country went into an uproar. The Chinese people were furious, and the voices denouncing Yin Rugeng's crime of betraying the country for glory spread throughout the country. At this moment, Tufei Yuan was undoubtedly very proud. He was satisfied with this effortless result. He felt that he could finally report to the Kwantung Army. Although this result was far from a victory, it was still the first step towards success. His next step was to launch a fierce attack on Song Zheyuan. Just as Tufei Yuan was secretly pleased with himself, the Nanjing government finally couldn't sit still anymore. On November 26, Nanjing made a resolution to declare Yin Rugeng a traitor and arrest him. At the same time, He Yingqin and others would be sent to negotiate with Japan to deal with the North China issue. He Yingqin's arrival provided a stage for Tufei Plain to once again display his ability to scheme and blackmail. On the one hand, he used both carrot and stick to He Yingqin. On the other hand, he secretly instigated some local ruffians and rogues to carry out the so-called "autonomy petition" activities. At the same time, he also threatened He Yingqin that if he did not agree to the request, his life and safety would be difficult to guarantee. He Yingqin was so scared that he had to flee back to Nanjing with the blueprint for the establishment of the Jicha Administrative Committee given to him by Tufei Yuan. At this time, Jiang Jie's mind was full of anti-revolutionary policies. Although he really did not want to see the whole of North China controlled by Japan, after weighing the pros and cons, he believed that if there was a direct conflict with Japan, it would inevitably affect the overall situation of their "suppression". Therefore, on December 12th, he was forced to abolish the various government commissions of the Executive Yuan in Peiping and the Beiping Military Branch. He set up the Jicha Administrative Committee, which covered Hebei, Chahar, and Pingjin. He appointed Song Zheyuan as the chairman of the Jicha Administrative Committee and the head of Hebei Province.
The Jicha Administrative Committee was still under the Nanjing National Government, and it was a half-independent and abnormal regime. Tufei Yuan became the advisor of the Jicha government committee as he wished. He controlled the political and economic power. At the same time, he also placed some traitors as members. Feiyuan had initially harbored hopes for the establishment of the Jicha Administrative Committee, but he soon realized that although Song Zheyuan seemed to have compromised on the surface, he had never made any concessions when it came to matters of principle such as territory and sovereignty. The so-called " North China autonomy " that Dohihara had painstakingly established did not actually achieve the effect that Japan had expected. The Japanese military had no choice but to give up on their expectations. In the end, they deliberately planned the "July 7" Lugouqiao Incident and used it as a fuse to launch a full-scale invasion of China.
