Respectfully

The news that the Japanese Concession in Tianjin was surrounded by the Chinese army was sent back to the country, and the head of the cabinet Prime Minister Gonbei Yamamoto suddenly grew bigger.

At this time, Japan was in a period of economic downturn, and the loss of the Russo-Japanese War had not yet been recovered, and was "robbed" by the Chinese army to return to the South Manchurian Railway, which almost eradicated the Japanese forces that had been stationed in Northeast China since the Qing Dynasty.

The trouble abroad has not been resolved, and domestic activities have arisen to demand the abolition of commercial tax and toll tax.

The leaders are all capitalists and businessmen, a group of moths!

The Minister of War was having a quarrel with the cabinet because of military expenditures, and the [-]th Fleet plan proposed by Yamamoto was also forced to shelve. In order to strengthen the great plan of the Imperial Japanese Navy, it was slandered by the shameless army as "competing for the navy's military expenditures." excuses"!

"It's extremely unreasonable!" Yamamoto thought of the arrogant face of the Minister of Army Kusase Yukihiko, and couldn't help but get angry, and even wanted to draw out his samurai sword and fight him!

"Damn the army, damn Kusase!" Looking at the telegram in front of him, Gonbei Yamamoto wished he could order the guy who came up with this bad idea to cut seppuku immediately!

Declare war on China?What a joke!The normal operation of the government depends on borrowing from the British!

Once war with China is declared, where will the military expenses come from?I am afraid that the government will go bankrupt if the warship arrives at Dagu Port in Tianjin!Continue to borrow?What else can they mortgage?

Even if the army can win, Japan's national fortune will probably be interrupted.

He is not the army with a rigid mind, and the current cabinet is not controlled by fanatical militarists. They are still clear-headed and know what will await them once they declare war with China.They gamble with the luck of the country again and again, bet against the Qing Dynasty, they win, and bet against Russia, they also win, but things can't be repeated again and again, if they continue to gamble, they will lose all their money sooner or later All the chips, but nothing.

Yamamoto had already made up his mind to have someone send a telegram to the Japanese ambassador to China, Enjiro Yamaza. He must "correct" his attitude and stop acting recklessly, otherwise he would consider sending someone else to take his place.He must also find a way to convince the cabinet that Japan can negotiate with the Huaxia people, meet some conditions of the Huaxia people, and let them withdraw their troops from the Tianjin Concession as soon as possible.

Gonbei Yamamoto restrained his emotions and sat cross-legged on the tatami. The chips in Japan's hands became less and less, and they had to lie dormant and wait for an opportunity.Just like when they defeated the Qing Dynasty and occupied North Korea, patience is more important than anything else...

Yamazao couldn't help sighing when he received a telegram from China, "Doihara-kun, things are really as you expected."

"I am extremely ashamed, this matter is due to my negligence, and I am willing to take all responsibilities."

Doihara proposed and implemented the plan to assassinate Li Jinyan and put the blame on Sima Jun and disrupt the Huaxia United Government. When he learned that Lou Xiao was about to go to Tianjin, he even thought about planting explosives on the way of the train to assassinate Lou Xiao !

It's a pity that the time was too hasty and I had to give up.

Even so, he never thought that Lou Xiao would be so bold to send troops to besiege the Japanese Concession,

After all, the current Doihara Kenji is too young, he has not cultivated to be as insidious and cunning as he was during the Japanese invasion of China, and his understanding of Lou Shengfeng and his son and Sima Jun is superficial.It never occurred to him that Lou Shengfeng and Sima Jun would not step on his tricks, and Lou Xiao was even more straightforward, completely ignoring the verbal disputes in the newspapers, and directly using the power in his hands to decide everything.

He had an army, he had weapons, and he wanted revenge, so he ordered the Japanese Concession to be surrounded, as simple as that.

"As of now, that's the only way to go."

Even so, Yamazao's face was still full of dissatisfaction.

The principle of soil and fertilizer began to think. If Huaxia agreed to the peace talks, there should be something to do in it.At least you can take the opportunity to win over countries such as Britain and France that were drawn in by China.

The Chinese army can encircle the Japanese Concession today, but can they use the same excuse to encircle the French Concession, British Concession, and Russian Concession tomorrow?

No one can sit still when their own interests are involved, right?

However, when Shan Zuo asked to meet Zhan Changqing again, Zhan Changqing suddenly disappeared.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Minister, Minister Zhan has something to do temporarily."

"Then Deputy Chief Lu?"

"Deputy Chief Lu has something to do too."

"other people……"

"Ah, everyone is busy."

The clerk of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who has won the true teaching of Zhan Changqing, behaves dignifiedly, smiles appropriately, and speaks modestly, "The Congress is convening, and the ministers and deputy ministers will be very busy these days."

Congress?Congress at this time?

"Yes, please understand. The government is newly established. There are too many things to do. If there is no urgent matter, please come back in five days."

Five days? !

No matter what expression Shan Zuo put on, the clerks of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always received them patiently with a smile on their faces.Want to see the real Buddha?Sorry, no way.

Shan Zuo drank a stomachful of tea, held his breath and left.

As soon as he left, Zhan Changqing walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, "Gone?"

"Let's go." The clerk said with a smile: "Minister Zhan, is this okay? After all, he is the Japanese envoy."

"I didn't see him because he was the Japanese envoy." Zhan Changqing waved his hand, "Drag him, and the young commander can do it."

Even if the Japanese want to "subdue softness", the matter cannot be resolved so quickly.The purpose of the President and the Young Marshal is to take back the Japanese Concession, not to negotiate with the Japanese.Only if the people in the concession continue to be trapped, they can't bear it, and they find trouble on their own, can the young commander have an excuse to order the action, right?

The boundaries of Tianjin are different from those of the six northern provinces, and there are Europeans and Americans watching beside them. If you want to make a shit bowl, you have to be a little "skilled".

"Young people have to be patient and learn."

Minister Zhan folded his hands behind his back, humming and drinking, while wondering whether he would continue to play chess with his brother-in-law if Shan Zuo continued to persevere.After all, he was also the director of the finance bureau of the six northern provinces. Why did Bai Baoqi, the head of the Huaxia National Bank, change his face when he came to the door?

I don't understand...

Li Jinyan, who is in Tianjin, did not shirk his slack either.

The French and the British came to the door one after another, with only one purpose, sulfonamide.

The soldiers who had been shot like him were already alive and kicking. The French doctor Roland witnessed their recovery and immediately reported to the French Consulate in the concession after exclaiming miraculously.

The [-] sticks of sulfonamide bought from the French was just a stepping stone. After confirming the efficacy of the medicine, the French asked to buy [-] sticks.

"It's not that I don't want to do this business, but that there are really not that many, and I can't produce in a short time."

In fact, he has it, but he doesn't want to sell it at all. It's too bad to sell it at this price.It is enough to let them know that they have this medicine in their hands, and it is time to make serious money when the First World War begins.Besides, what if the Frenchman thinks he has a large amount of sulfa in his hands and gets his way?Even if they don't risk bad water, it is hard to guarantee that the British will not be tempted.Don't look at John Bull always boasting about British gentlemen, in fact, the most unreasonable people are these Britons!Otherwise, how did the British Empire, where the sun never sets, come about?

Doing so also avoids causing dissatisfaction among the Germans.Now the Germans are their creditors, and the machines for exploiting the Yumen Oilfield must be bought from the Germans. There is no big mistake in being careful.

Li Jinyan leaned on the bed with half-closed eyes, planning to make money. His injury will inevitably delay his trip to the south, and whether he can continue after the injury is still open to question.Judging by Young Marshal Lou's appearance, this matter may be suspended.If it really doesn't work, he can only let Lu Huaide and Liao Qiting continue to go south instead of him.

On September 25, the Japanese Concession, which had been under siege for nearly half a month, finally broke out of the "expected" situation.

People trapped in the concession ate up their own food and water, and started stealing in order to survive, which gradually developed into robbery.

As more and more people participated in the robbery, the gathered people rushed into every house like crazy, and wiped out all the food, gold and silver, and even valuable cloth inside.Even pretty women can't escape the murderous hands. Once they encounter resistance, they will be beaten or even killed immediately.

The Japanese consul and concession officials tried to suppress it, but with little effect.The soldiers sent to suppress them were all targeted by these people.They shouted: "This is the soldiers of our Great Japanese Empire! They didn't dare to fight the Chinese who trapped us, but pointed their guns at us!"

No one noticed who was shouting, and no one noticed that he quietly withdrew from the crowd after arousing the anger of the crowd and disappeared into an alley beside the street.

Angry Japanese expatriates attacked soldiers and officials, and Madoka, the Japanese consul in Tianjin, was hit in the head with a stone.

The crowd began to get out of control, the glass on the roadside buildings was smashed, and the burning torches were thrown into it, women's cries and men's curses were heard everywhere, crazy, completely crazy, everyone's eyes were covered with flames Dyeing red, the thick smoke that soared into the sky burned their last sliver of sanity...

The chaos in the Japanese Concession aroused the vigilance of the adjacent French Concession. They immediately set up roadblocks on Qiushan Road, and even suggested to the soldiers from the six northern provinces who besieged the Japanese Concession that it is better to set up the roadblocks more firmly. barbed wire.

During this period, the soldiers from the six northern provinces got along well with these Frenchmen. Their daily rations aroused the interest of these Frenchmen. Small pieces of compressed biscuits, large cans of canned meat, beautiful candies, with filter tips Guanbei brand cigarettes.

A French soldier wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes with the ocean, but the soldier shook his head and motioned him to smoke one directly from the pack, "Everyone is given this, a pack every two months, and I'll lose it if I sell it to you. "

While gesticulating and talking, they could still communicate. The French soldier understood, nodded, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and borrowed a match from Brother Bing.

Things like this happen every day, and you can often hear French soldiers who speak half-baked Chinese, come up and chat with the soldiers while they are taking their lunch break.The most asked questions are cigarettes and candy.

"Where can I buy this?"

"No need to buy, munitions, understand?"

"quartermaster?"

"quartermaster!"

Just as he was talking, the assembly whistle sounded suddenly. Brother Bing immediately got up and threw the remaining three cigarette packs into the hands of the French soldier, "Here you are!"

TNND, these Japanese bastards can't hold back at last!

Young Marshal Lou rode on the horse, raised his binoculars to look at the situation in the Japanese Concession in front, the flames soaring into the sky seemed to pull the bolt of a bullet that was about to be unsheathed.

"Young commander, everything is going well!" Leopard and several intelligence officers were covered in sweat and black smoke. The kimonos they were wearing before had been thrown away. a Chinese.However, they were also taken aback by these Japanese people. These people were as cruel to their own people as they were to outsiders!

"Okay." Marshal Lou put down the binoculars, "Order Zhao Guangyou to form a team and prepare to take over the Japanese Concession."

"Yes!"

The Japanese consul Madoka Madoka was in a mess, and the consulate was also attacked. He had to escape through the back door and went to Captain Hashimoto for help. When he got there, he found that Hashimoto's situation was not much better than him, and many Japanese troops also joined the riot. among the crowd.

"Hashimoto-kun, what should we do next?"

Captain Hashimoto didn't have a good idea either. The situation was completely out of control. He had seen the rice-grabbing movement in Japan before.

However, force, where did they get force?

If they are still safe and sound by tomorrow, thank God.

At this time, a burst of intensive gunshots suddenly sounded, and Hashimoto was startled. This was not the gunshot of the Nian-style rifle!

The chaotic Japanese expatriates and the soldiers among them rushed to the checkpoint set up by the Chinese army leading to the outside of the concession. A Japanese soldier didn't know whether he was too nervous or too excited, and his rifle "fired".

The nearest Chinese soldier fell in response, and the reporter who had been waiting by the side immediately stepped forward and took a quick shot. It is certain that headlines such as "The brutal Japanese army shot and killed the Chinese soldier for no reason" will definitely appear in tomorrow's newspapers.

After a moment of silence, a voice suddenly shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone, Huaxia people dare not shoot! Come on, rush over!"

The crowd boiled again, whether they were soldiers or civilians, men or women, they all rushed over with red eyes.

Yes, they dare not shoot!

boom!

Gunshots rang out...

"One soldier was killed and our side was only forced to fight back."

Ten gold bars were placed in front of the French consul again, so the French completely ignored the Chinese soldier who was shot and "killed" by the Japanese army. After the Chinese army was "forced" to fight back in the name of "self-defense", they strode forward. After entering the Japanese Concession, I suddenly stood up and wanted to keep up with the team, but was knocked unconscious by the medical staff and carried away on a stretcher.

Of course, before being carried away, the spotlights around him rang out.

In the fifth year of the Republic of China, on September 1913, 9, a riot broke out in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin. Mobs attacked the Japanese Consulate and caused a large number of civilian casualties. Half of the Japanese Concession was destroyed by fire.A Huaxia soldier was shot dead by mobs, and the Huaxia army was forced to fight back.

On September 9, at the request of Hashimoto, the captain of the Japanese garrison, the Huaxia Corps had no choice but to enter the Japanese Concession to suppress the riot.

On September 9, Marshal Lou and Chen Guangming, commander of the Fifth Division of the Ji Army, jointly issued a telegram. In order to ensure the safety of the people of Tianjin and allies in the concession, the Chinese army temporarily took over the Japanese concession until the location of the potential safety hazard was determined.

This move was supported by the French Concession, which is connected to the Japanese Concession.

On September 9, the Chinese army officially took over the Japanese Concession temporarily.

Madoka Madoka, the Japanese consul in Tianjin, died. Hashimoto, the former captain of the garrison, disappeared on the night of the riot. The entire Japanese Concession was completely changed in the fire.

The Japanese expatriates in the concession, who died or were injured in the previous chaos, were also imprisoned as suspects.The Korean nationals were directly expelled from Tianjin City, and the Chinese people who originally lived in the Japanese Concession were all handed over to the Ji army.

The development of the matter was too fast, and before the Japanese reacted, everything was settled.

Li Jinyan looked at the four big characters "Temporary Takeover" on the newspaper, touched his chin, and wanted to come out again after going in?Think beautifully!

Covering Li Jinyan's hair with a big hand, "Come to Beijing with me tomorrow."

"En." Li Jinyan nodded. After knowing that he was injured, Mrs. Lou sent him three telegrams one after another, asking him to go to the capital, so she was relieved after reading it.

"Then go back to Guanbei."

"Young commander, that... I still want to go south..."

"kindness?"

Young Marshal Lou's hand slipped to Li Jinyan's neckline, and his thumb brushed against his Adam's apple. Li Sanshao's knowing silence was golden.
