On January 15, Fu Zuoyi KMT’s Commander of North China was frightened by the news that the strong defense of 130,000 troops in Tientsin were wiped out by the PLA within 29 hours. To avoid further bloodshed, on January 21, Fu signed the Agreement of Peaceful Liberation of Peiping, which included provisions permitting conversion of Gold Yuan into RMB and the uninterrupted postal and telecom services. Peiping was peacefully liberated on January 13, 1949.
