old house bird thing

Xiangxiang's heart was still pounding, as if a basin of cold water had been poured from head to toe, these British people were really hateful, despicable and shameless.

Surprised and angry, the surrounding people surrounded several British people. Their faces were pale with fright, and they hugged their heads together. One British man trembled and shouted: "Weare British hambassador (ambassador), you can'thurtus, otherwise you will pay for it."

A short-haired woman with a flushed face came to the front, raised a hand, and slapped the screaming Englishman heavily on the face. She opened her eyes wide, as if she didn't want to let the tears flow, but the tears still couldn't be tolerated. Controlled overflowing from the eye sockets, she shouted loudly: "Shameless!"

"How dare you shoot! Are you still human! Kill a 12-year-old child alive! Shoot the crowd with machine guns! Do you know that you should all have children and grandchildren! You bastards!" The woman was the first to jump. They went up and punched and kicked a few British people, and then more people rushed up to fight, and the crowd behind shouted loudly, "Fight well, beat them to death", and the scene became even more chaotic.

"Liang Yu, stop them quickly, we can't fight anymore." Xiao Lie quietly tugged on Xiang Xiang's sleeve.

Xiangxiang glanced at the male student who was squatting on the ground trying to be violent, bit his lip, and didn't answer.

"You are the representative of the party and state sent from Guangzhou. If something happens here, you know what the consequences will be. It is too late to ask for help. You are the highest status here. You are a veritable revolutionary leader. Explain the situation to the people. Try to order the people spread."

Xiangxiang pondered for a moment, grabbed the loudspeaker in someone's hand and shouted: "Everyone, please listen to me, the country has already conducted mediation with the UK, and proposed to release people, punish the murderer, apologize, and compensate. The people have a rally in the concession. , Freedom to strike, take back the tribunal, abolish consular jurisdiction, withdraw foreign troops in Shanghai and other 13 items, will definitely give an explanation to the dead Chinese. So please calm down."

"What clauses are not clauses, always let us calm down. Did you give us an explanation when the "Paris Agreement" was signed? Did you give us an explanation for the "Unequal Treaties with China and Extraterritorial Law"? When more than a dozen workers were killed. Have you given us an explanation? Apart from telling us to calm down, have you done anything to give us an explanation?" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"You are all right. I am not qualified to order you here. As the classmate said just now, what is the point of me saying this? As an individual, I can't make promises to you, let alone change anything, but I I know that I have to stand here and explain to everyone.” Xiangxiang said sadly: “Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away in Beiping a few months ago. Mr. overthrew the monarchy and established the Republic of China. He devoted his life to making the country prosperous and strong. He said that he wanted to save China, but he did not fulfill his promise until the end of his life, so can you accuse him of not giving everyone an explanation?"

"Now people from all walks of life are mediating for the treaty. Whether they are democrats, revolutionary pioneers or local warlords, they are all paying attention to Shanghai and actively trying to come to Shanghai to help the negotiations. General Xueliang will also rush to Shanghai in a few days, although our country is full of warlords, but at a critical moment, all patriots are united, can't everyone give it a chance?"

"I used to be my husband's secretary, and I still remember a few words that my husband said in private: remember the national humiliation, work hard, endure the anger of the moment, everyone will work hard from today, ten years later, 20 years later , the rising China is standing in the world, who dares to insult me ​​again?"

The crowd commotioned for a while, and gradually quieted down. A male student who was fighting with the British let go of his hand bitterly, and spit at them. Others also spit after seeing this, and threw away their hands. , several British people with bruised noses and swollen faces hurriedly got up and hid back in the car in embarrassment.

The crowd raised placards and flagpoles, and continued to demonstrate. Xiangxiang dropped the loudspeaker and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Good job." Xiao Lie looked at Xiang Xiang and said.

Xiangxiang had been holding Xiao Lie's hand when he was speaking just now, but now he suddenly realized how hot and powerful the hands holding each other in the crowd were.Xiangxiang hurriedly let go, because his palms were sweaty, and the moment he let go was cool, the two looked at each other in the crowd, and then smiled unconsciously.

I thought that this was the only place where the demonstration team had problems. I didn’t expect that the big powers adopted a high-pressure policy against all anti-imperialist movements. Foreign warships gathered in Shanghai one after another. In the massacre, more than 60 people died, more than 70 were seriously injured, and countless were slightly injured. The situation deteriorated further.

On the 13th, General Zhang Xueliang presided over the mediation of the Sino-British conflict and led the troops to station in Shanghai.

Zhang Xueliang, courtesy name Hanqing, was only 25 years old when he was in the prime of his life, and in the three northeastern provinces, he was a veritable Young Marshal of the Kanto, a young and promising prince.

There have been mixed reviews about this person in history. If Xiangxiang really wanted to give him a comment, perhaps he would only be worthy of a sigh.

Early in the morning, Shanghai's military and police dignitaries, celebrities from all walks of life, student and worker representatives gathered on the platform of Shanghai Railway Station to greet them.At 9:[-] in the morning, there was a burst of military music, and Zhang Xueliang's special car arrived.

Amidst the warm applause, Zhang Xueliang, dressed in a straight military uniform, wearing a general street, and an imposing manner, appeared at the door of the carriage and saluted the welcoming crowd.Mr. Hu Hanmin, who rushed to Shanghai a few days ago, took the place of Mr. Zhongxian. As the top leader of the Shanghai party-state, he stepped forward to greet him, followed by Mr. Xiangxiang and Mr. Zhongxian.

When Zhang Xueliang got out of the car, the reporters swarmed up and surrounded the young marshal.

Hu Hanmin immediately reprimanded Xiangxiang: "What's going on! Why did you let so many reporters in!"

Xiangxiang replied helplessly: "The young marshal's coming to Shanghai needs a lot of publicity, so..."

"Nonsense!" Hu Hanmin said: "The scene is so chaotic, in case someone with a heart causes something to happen, you will be responsible! There will be a press conference when we go back, so hurry up and disperse the crowd."

Xiangxiang was ashamed of being scolded, and hurried forward to direct the nearby patrolmen to disperse the crowd. At this time, a gentle voice suddenly came from among the crowd: "Everyone, don't worry, I, Zhang Xueliang, are here to accept your interview."

"Your Majesty came to Shanghai this time to investigate the "May [-]th" unrest, to learn the truth, to protect the law and order and the rights and interests of our compatriots..."

Looking at the young marshal who announced the purpose of coming to Shanghai to the reporters on the spot, Xiangxiang heaved a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, the young marshal went to Xingxuan to rest for a while. He was dressed in the military uniform of a warlord, and he looked a little dusty. When Xiangxiang introduced himself, the young marshal suddenly looked at him and smiled and said, "I know you. Concession, it was you who quelled a dispute."

Mr. Hu Hanmin immediately introduced: "This is an instructor of our Whampoa Military Academy. He used to be his secretary's secretary. He is fluent in English. Why don't you let him be your interpreter this time."

The young marshal said: "That's very good." Then he frankly shook hands with Xiangxiang.

To be honest, in terms of approachability alone, Young Marshal Zhang has his own merits. When he was young, he was always praised as the crown prince of the three northeastern provinces. He was young and promising with military power in his hands. Any young man would be flattered if he received such admiration. Become unable to grasp oneself, indulging in flashy appearance.But he didn't look arrogant at all, on the contrary, he was humble and polite, which made people feel good.

"I have heard about Mr. Sun's Whampoa Military Academy for a long time. I heard that it is a young soldier with outstanding weapons and equipment, combat skills, and cultural literacy. The accompanying personnel I brought to Shanghai this time are the teaching regiment of our Fengjun. It is the strength of the new army cultivated by our Fengjun, I am afraid it is not inferior to your Huangpu soldiers." When the young commander shook hands with Xiangxiang, he said seriously, his words were full of pride, and there was a kind of conceit in it.

Xiangxiang smiled without saying a word, and secretly looked at the accompanying soldiers. Sure enough, everyone was full of energy, wearing brand-new military uniforms, bright guns, and a small square of yellow cloth on his left arm, and wrote the words "Defend the country, protect the people, and do things peacefully" , known as the brave Fengjun, hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, as early as the puppet Manchukuo began to raise troops and store up, today with full wings, Zhang Zuolin is worthy of being a hero in the world.

After arriving at the Xingxuan, the young marshal immediately went to the living room to thank all the welcomers. When ordering cigarettes with refreshments, he saw that there were many kinds of imported cigarettes on the table. The purpose of the trip to Shanghai was inconsistent, so all of them were withdrawn and replaced with domestic cigarettes." Then he rejected the banquet from the French consul and many social figures, saying that it was not gratifying to use the money from the banquet to donate to the dead and injured.

The removal of foreign cigarettes and the refusal of diplomacy alone sent a message to foreigners that Zhang Xueliang stood with his compatriots and would never be a helper for tigers.With this action, Xiangxiang only felt a kind of righteousness and sincerity in it, and his affection for Young Marshal Zhang increased to another level.

This time Zhang Xueliang came to Shanghai to steal the limelight, and the eyes of almost all walks of life were focused on him. The next day, the Shanghai newspapers commented on him: "The heroic spirit is right, unparalleled in the world."
