Fengxian Jiangshan

"Godfather, don't worry, the matter has not reached that point yet, this Fengtian is still China's territory, and the Japanese can't do anything wrong."

Seeing Zhang Zuolin's confidence, Zhang Xiluan felt a little relieved, sat tremblingly on the seat, and sighed: "Yuting, just now the Japanese Consul General Yata sent a message, asking me to calm down the students as soon as possible Parade, but also let Yuting release the detained Japanese."

Lao Zhang raised his brows: "The Japanese ronin did evil before. It is reasonable for us to detain these people. If there is no suitable explanation, we will let them go and let Fengtian's elders think about us. And those students will If you poke our spines, even President Yuan Da in Beijing will blame you if he finds out!"

Zhang Xiluan also knew that what Zhang Zuolin said was correct, he had already obtained a secret order, and Yuan Shikai asked him to secretly boycott the Fourth Civil Treaty, restrict Japanese activities, and prevent Japan from buying land at will.This time the Japanese used despicable means to conspire to carry out food business across the world. It seemed like a trivial matter, but at this juncture, it touched the hearts of all parties.

"Hey, I'm so old, why did I get involved in such a thing, I'm an old man, I'm going to lose my life at the end of the festival!"

When Zhang Xiluan was lamenting, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and someone shouted: "Brother-in-law, let me see that you are getting old."

While talking, a middle-aged man trotted to the main hall. This person was Lu Zhengxiong, Zhang Xiluan's brother-in-law. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Zuolin sitting beside him. If you drive out of the barracks like a dog, everyone will lose face.

"Mr. Zhang, you are here!" Zhang Zuolin just snorted.Zhang Xiluan, who was on the main seat, asked, "Zhengxiong, what's the matter with you?"

"Brother-in-law, some student representatives from Fengtian will go to the Governor's Mansion and the residence of the 27th Division to petition, demanding that the Japanese ronin who caused trouble be severely punished. You said this is not adding to the trouble, I ordered the students who made trouble to disperse at that time, and those brats were still not convinced. I hit a few thorns on the spot. They are all honest now, what do you think of my move!"

Lu Zhengxiong had a flattering look on his face, thinking that Zhang Xiluan would praise him, but Kuai Mazhang's face was as gloomy as a scapegoat.Zhang Zuolin on the side suddenly stood up, pointing at Lu Zhengxiong and yelling: "Bastard, thanks to the fact that you are still a Fengtian policeman, how could you attack the students? This is adding fuel to the fire!"

Zhang Tinglan's complexion is also not good. He hopes to use public opinion to force Japan to retreat, but he is more afraid of causing a bloody conflict. The current situation is getting out of control. He hurriedly said: "Mr. I am afraid that the conflict will become more intense, and we must act as soon as possible."

Chapter 18 Kawashima Naniwa's Fighter

Lu Zhengxiong thought he had done something extraordinary, but he had no idea that the more forcefully suppressing some things, the greater the rebound would be.

The students of the Republic of China can be said to be daring. They don't even pay attention to the Prime Minister's Office and the President's Office, let alone a small Governor's Office.And just a few months ago, the students initiated a protest because of Article 21. Now the enthusiasm has not passed, and Fengtian's public opinion has reached the critical point of explosion. Now that Lu Zhengxiong makes such a fuss, it is like a spark has been lost. Go down the same.

The incompetent government colluded with the Japanese, betraying the interests of the country and harming the people.If the parade before this was aimed at the Japanese, then the Fengtian government will not be able to run away.

Although Zhang Xiluan's mind is a little slow, but he is also a person who has wandered around the world for many years. Of course he can figure out the key point. The old man's snow-white beard kept shaking, he reached out to grab the teacup, and smashed it at Lu Zhengxiong's head. In an instant, Lu Zhengxiong was full of applause.

Of course, Zhang Xiluan also knew that killing Lu Zhengxiong would not solve the problem, so he could only ask Zhang Zuolin for help: "Yuting, what should you do with the situation in front of you, do you want me to send someone to the school to persuade the students, don't let them make trouble!"

Zhang Zuolin was also a little uncertain, he turned his head to look at Zhang Tinglan, and said to him: "Tinglan, what do you think should be done?"

"Now things are caught in a dilemma. Suppressing students will only make students feel more resentful towards the government, and they will be accused of treachery. But if they blindly support students, once they annoy the Japanese, they will tear their faces. I can't bear it. If I want to see that it is better to draw fire from the bottom of the pot, I simply ignore the students for the time being and let them vent their grievances, as long as they are under control at critical moments."

As soon as Lao Zhang heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he knew that he had a solution, so he nodded: "Godfather, don't worry, this trouble was caused by our 27th Division, and I will definitely handle it satisfactorily, you You don't have to worry about anything!"

When Zhang Xiluan heard Zhang Zuolin's all-inclusive responsibility, a smile finally appeared on his old face. He didn't really care whether Zhang Zuolin could handle it. The most important thing was to have a scapegoat when necessary, so the old guy nodded quickly : "Those who can work harder, Yuting will work hard!"

Zhang Zuolin took Zhang Tinglan away from the Governor's Mansion, Lao Zhang smiled and asked Zhang Tinglan: "What kind of person is Zhang Xiluan?"

"Old, incompetent, irresponsible, full of old Qing bureaucrats, it was definitely a mistake for Yuan Shikai to let him guard the three eastern provinces!"

"Hahaha, well said, I'm not afraid of his incompetence, but I'm afraid that he has the ability, otherwise, can this Fengtian fall into our hands?"

Zhang Zuolin is very ambitious, and has long coveted the throne of Fengtian governor. Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "Seventh Lord, I think this time Fengtian's military and political power will be almost in his pocket. At least that trash Lu Zhengxiong should be taken. .”

"Ting Lan, you have to go through this hurdle before you can think about those things. To be honest, I really don't want to offend the Japanese to death. Those dozen or so ronin are just hedgehogs in my arms. It's a headache!"

In fact, it's not just Zhang Zuolin who doesn't want to offend the Japanese to death, even Zhang Tinglan doesn't have this idea. Let alone the South Manchuria Railway, the Japanese hold the South-Manchuria Railway, which is the main artery of the Northeast's external relations. If the Japanese are cut off, Fengtian How do you communicate with the outside world? When you don't have enough strength, you will be reckless if you go head-to-head with the Japanese.

"Seventh Lord, I have thought of a good way to explain to all parties, please listen to me!" Zhang Tinglan said a few words in Zhang Zuolin's ear, and a smile appeared on Lao Zhang's face. It can be said that he was really happy .

After listening, Lao Zhang patted Zhang Tinglan on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Your brain is so flexible, and with that scapegoat, everyone's face will be saved. But since you have such a good method, why do you still let it go?" Let the students make trouble, now go directly to the Japanese, won’t the problem be solved?”

Zhang Tinglan waved her hands quickly: "It's not good for Japan's face to do this. Without full pressure, they won't compromise. Besides, isn't this an opportunity for the Seventh Lord to clean up the hearts of the people?"

Old Zhang smiled and rubbed his hands. He agreed to Zhang Tinglan's proposal 120 times, and they returned to his house soon.

At this time, in front of Zhang Zuolin's mansion, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Yuan Jinkai and others were already waiting.Seeing Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan getting off the carriage, Sun Liechen and the others hurried over to greet them.

"Yuting, there are more and more students in the parade, what do you think should be done?"

Sun Liechen asked the first question on behalf of everyone. At this time, Lao Zhang was full of confidence and had no worries at all. He waved his hand: "Sixth brother, and all the brothers don't have to worry, the solution has already been found. Sixth brother, you and Fuchen Draw two battalions of elite soldiers to stand by at any time, we must be the most capable, and the rest will all disperse!"

Old Zhang ordered Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang. Although the two of them couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhang Zuolin was selling in the gourd, they felt a lot easier seeing how confident he was.Zhang Zuoxiang had also noticed Zhang Tinglan behind Zhang Zuolin for a long time. This kid was full of complacency. As the saying goes, knowing a son is like a father.

Ever since Zhang Tinglan helped Zhang Zuolin and Fred form an alliance to resolve the crisis of the 27th Division, Zhang Zuoxiang has been surprised by his son's ability.This time, he took the initiative to arrest more than a dozen Japanese ronin. If this kid had no solution, he probably wouldn't be so reckless. Thinking of this, Zhang Zuoxiang felt relieved.

Both he and Sun Liechen went to deploy troops to prepare, and Fengtian's academic and business circles also took action at this time. The student representatives were severely beaten by the police, which completely ignited the anger of Fengtian teachers and students.

In the era of the Republic of China, students were definitely a very active group. They acted as vanguards for any major historical events. Many passionate students also regarded saving the country and the people as their natural mission. students are organized.

In addition to the students, many Fengtian businessmen also stood up. During this period of time, the Japanese annexed shops and squeezed the living space of Chinese businessmen, which has made everyone unbearable. They also took advantage of this opportunity to organize.

On the second day, a parade of thousands of people rushed towards the Japanese consulate with various slogans. These students were already familiar with the parade. They chanted slogans and quickly approached the Japanese consulate. .

Just when they had just turned around the intersection, a group of well-dressed Japanese ronin suddenly appeared in front of them. There were about 200 of them in number.And behind them there were hundreds of Japanese guards, all of them holding rifles and pointing their guns at the students who were marching.

Naniwa Kawashima stared contemptuously at the Chinese students and businessmen: "The front is the consulate of the Great Japanese Empire, which is not a place for you to run wild. Please go back, or you will bear the consequences."

Naniwa Kawashima's contemptuous attitude immediately made these students very angry, and they shouted loudly.

At this moment, Naniwa Kawashima suddenly took a few steps back, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of strong thugs in Tsing Yi rushed out from the alleys on both sides.These people all held machetes and sticks in their hands, separating the Japanese ronin from the students, and they stared at the parade students with a pretentious eye.

This group of thugs who appeared suddenly surprised everyone. They didn't know where they came from and who they belonged to.

At this time, a short and fat man came out and cupped his hands at the students: "Students, as the saying goes, a gun has no eyes, you all have a bright future, why hit a stone with an egg, hurry back to study!"

Chapter 19 Standing Up for the Defenders

Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way, which made the students in the parade a little at a loss. Even the businessmen in the back of the line didn't know the short and fat man who appeared suddenly, but this guy was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and the decorations were even more expensive. Definitely not ordinary people.

This judgment is really not wrong. This guy is the famous last Su Prince Shanqi, who is also the biological father of the female spy Yoshiko Kawashima.He was originally a nobleman of the Manchu Qing clan, so precious, but the Manchu Qing collapsed suddenly, making him, the iron-capped prince, lose his former power.

Shanqi is different from those Eight Banners who have already accepted their fate. He wants to restore the Manchu Dynasty. Of course, he also knows that it is no longer realistic to dream of ruling the pass. What he wants is to establish a Manchukuo in the three eastern provinces.For this reason, he ran around, and it happened that Naniwa Kawashima also wanted to instigate the independence of Manchuria, and then turn this place into a Japanese colony, so the two of them were like-minded, and with the help of Naniwa Kawashima, Shanqi formed the Zongsha Party in an attempt to split the country .

This student demonstration is a dilemma for the Fengtian government, and it is also the same for the Japanese. They have to take care of Japan's face, but they don't want to anger the Chinese people and affect Japan's commercial interests, so this matter has become extremely difficult.

Naniwa Kawashima found Yada and offered him a strategy, which was to use thugs under the Zongsha Party to deal with the students, turning the demonstrations against Japan into internal strife among the Chinese, and it was best to guide them into a war between Han Chinese and Manchus. The struggle between the two countries, and then Japan will mediate in the middle.

In fact, this move is essentially the same as Zhang Tinglan's strategy. Since both sides are afraid of beating the wolf, they should use other forces as a buffer.Zhang Tinglan mobilized public opinion and used public opinion to put pressure on Japan, while Kawashima played the card of the Zongsha Party. It has to be said that Kawashima Naniwa is indeed insidious enough.

He also has a bigger plan. He wants to use this opportunity to intensify the Manchu-Han conflict outside the pass, and then coerce the Japanese government to support the independence of Manchuria, thereby realizing his vicious conspiracy of Manchurian independence.

Yada didn't see Kawashima's more far-reaching plans. He only thought that the Zongsha Party was a thug that could be used, so he agreed, and this led to the current scene.

Shanqi came out to act like a big petal of garlic, and of course the students would not buy him, one of the leading students said loudly: "Old man, who are you, dare to speak for the Japanese, do you want to be a traitor? "

"Hehe, young people, don't be so angry. This old man is not a Han Chinese at all, so how can he be worthy of the word Han Jiān? To be honest, this old man is Shanqi, Prince of Daqingsu. As an elder, I would like to advise my classmates. , don't be used as a gun for others. Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division randomly detained Japanese friends, which caused this conflict. Now that Zhang Zuolin has become a coward, it is unreasonable for you to come here to die. The students are all educated You must not be fooled!"

"Bah, the remnants of the previous dynasty, you still think of yourself as a prince, why don't you take a mirror and look at yourself, you are a lackey, a lackey of the Japanese!" The leading student representative is called Chu Mingyuan, who is usually proud and jealous. , is a nominated student leader.When he saw Shanqi, the scum of the previous dynasty, who dared to jump out to speak for the Japanese, he immediately became angry and scolded Shanqi directly.

The other students also cursed one after another, such as admitting a thief as a father, a clown, and getting crowned with a monkey, to name a few.

Shanqi is usually used to being pampered, but he has never encountered such a situation. He was pointed at the nose by a group of children and scolded his lackeys. His face turned livid and he trembled all over.The coat-coated slaves who followed him couldn't take it anymore. Youdao said that the emperor humiliated his ministers to death, and their master was scolded by others. How could these slaves just ignore it.
