Chen Shiying also regretted his reckless actions, he did not regret what he did, but regretted that he had accidentally caused such a big mistake---- he had known how good it would be to shoot them on the spot! It's a pleasure to freeze people to death, but someone has to wipe your buttocks!

Whether the country will apologize or not is the decision of the central officials, and he doesn't care, but he has to hand himself over to the Japanese for interrogation, and he can't afford to lose this person. Death is a small matter, but the loss of national dignity is a big matter, and he does not want to be remembered in history, although he is only recorded as a humiliated party.

So, he summoned several captains of the fleet and said: "If the state wants to hand me over, I would rather commit suicide than agree!" One person does things one by one, I decided this matter before, since I have always rotted in the stomach, in case I go back and be punished, in order to protect the seeds of the navy, you can all shirk my order! ”

Several captains have been comrades in the trench for many years, so they are naturally in the same spirit. Mao Zhongcai, the captain of the "Lisui" ship, patted his chest and said: "I also have a part in this matter, and I also volunteered to participate. Our navy has been in a state of collapse in the eyes of the Chinese people since the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, and it would be a great shame if the commander was allowed to hand over the matter to the Japanese for interrogation. If a soldier dies, he will die, but this naval uniform must be white and clean, and I have decided that this ship will live and die with the commander! ”

Captain Lin Peixi of "Lijie" and Captain Lin Tianshou of "Lichuan" both vied to express their positions, and for a while the captain's room was filled with an atmosphere of grief and indignation.

On the one hand, the "May Fourth Movement" that had already been launched had successfully aroused the hatred of the Chinese people towards Japan, and if Feng wanted to reap the benefits of public opinion, he must have a strong stance on the outside world, and the experience of a weak general who won glory for the country was an excellent material.

On the other hand, the future expansion of the Feng army and the urgency of building a navy have been put on the table, and it is a great help to get a naval general with rich experience in water warfare to the Feng army, which was born as a "landlubber", and can win the favor and support of the naval department headed by Sa Zhenbing. In addition, a more important reason is that Zhang Hanqing respects Bingxin.

This author, Zhang Hanqing, who has read in American literature since childhood, is Sa Zhenbing's favorite little daughter. This embodiment of love and beauty in the future once immersed Zhang Hanqing in the beautiful artistic conception of Chinese characters. Bingxin should be living with Sa Zhenbing now, right? I don't know if the pain of this naval chief will affect Grandma Bingxin's mood?

Moreover, General Chen Jiliang led the Battle of Jiangyin in history, sinking merchant ships and warships into the mouth of the Yangtze River, successfully blocking the Japanese fleet from going up the river, and preserving the national glory of the "Republic of China". Such patriotic generals, no matter what their purpose, are the vitality of the Chinese nation and are worth working hard to operate.

Therefore, despite the opposition of some people, Zhang Hanqing still spoke out. He shouted to the Central Government of the CPC Central Committee from the air: "Military personnel who violate discipline should still be dealt with according to military discipline, and how to deal with them is China's internal affair." He also made a suggestion that Chen Shiying be dismissed from his post in the navy and transferred to the post of senior adviser of the preparatory group of the "Water Security Brigade of the Three Eastern Provinces" of the Fengjun Army.

In order to reduce the Japanese side's choking, Zhang Hanqing also said through his consul general in Mukden, Shigeru Yoshida: "At present, due to the rebound of the 'Paris Peace Conference', the 'May Fourth Movement' has caused anti-Japanese sentiment among the people to rise, please do not add fuel to the fire at this time." As a mediator, Zhang Hanqing can ask Chen Shiying to change his name and quit the current navy, so that both governments can step down.

At this time, on the battlefield in the Far East, the Soviet Russian Red Army changed its original decline, and after defeating the White Russian army in the European part, they defeated Kolchak, the leader of the White Army entrenched in Siberia, in Irkutsk before the end of the year. After that, he marched eastward and defeated the foreign intervention forces (i.e., the expeditionary force) at Lake Baikal.

The United States, Britain, and France were in a state of hostility with Soviet Russia for a long time, and they all had the intention of retreating.

But the Russian Red Army did not give up, and followed in the footsteps of Kolchak all the way into Siberia, and the vanguard was formed by a partisan force led by Tripitsyn. The Temple Street Incident happened because the main force of the Japanese army was completely abolished.

They were defeated by themselves.

The military discipline of the Japanese army really inherited the fine tradition of the pioneers, and it was as bad as ever, and it was actually their habit to burn, kill, and loot during the invasion of China. As early as when intervening in the Soviet Russian revolution, Japanese officers and soldiers stationed in Russia often harassed civilians and robbed Russian "flower girls" everywhere.

Of course, this also brought serious consequences, a senior Japanese officer who returned from an inspection of the Russian front said that the spread of the willow disease caused by the bow and female cadres had at least an entire division of Japanese soldiers incapacitated, and the actual situation may not be less than 10,000.

Moreover, the evil deeds of the Japanese army also aroused the disgust of the local residents, and the reason why the guerrillas grew stronger and stronger was inseparable from the anti-Japanese sentiment of the local Russians. Not only did the local Russians hate Japan, but there were even about 800 long-term Chinese living in Russia who voluntarily signed up to join the Soviet Russian Red Guards.

The Japanese Expeditionary Force, which had been embroiled in the People's War, was demanding a new round of troops, and at this time, the Japanese government did not want China to make waves again. In view of the situation in China, I had to agree with Zhang Hanqing's proposal.

Subsequently, Zhang Zuolin called the Beiyang government to elaborate on this idea. For this hot potato, the Beiyang government is afraid of it, and what Zhang Zuolin said is exactly what he wants.

As a result, among the four conditions put forward by the Japanese government, "the Chinese minister stationed in Japan apologizes to the Japanese government and compensates the families of the Japanese officers and soldiers who died with a certain amount of pensions." This has been fulfilled by the central government.

However, the matter of "having the Chinese Navy stationed in Temple Street apologize to the Japanese commander-in-chief" and "severely punish the Chinese responsible for this matter" was compromised by the voluntary resignation of fleet commander Chen Shiying and his removal from the list of active naval officers.

Chen Shiying felt the life-saving grace of the Feng Department, and resolutely joined the Feng Department, changed his name to Chen Jiliang, and made suggestions for the establishment of the Feng Department Navy.

The crisis was resolved, the Navy Department of the Beiyang Government ordered the Beishang Fleet to be commanded by Mao Zhongcai, and the Japanese troops stationed in Boli also allowed the Beishang Fleet to enter Heilongjiang, and the Beishang Fleet, which had been adrift at sea for 445 days, finally anchored at the Harbin Port and was able to rest.

Therefore, it is not that you will be beaten if you are backward, but that you will be beaten if you are backward and have no backbone. A weak country has no diplomacy, and when the Empress Dowager Cixi is in power, Chen Shiying's small life will be over.

Sa Zhenbing, who racked his brains to save his subordinates, was moved by Zhang Hanqing's fearless spirit of being able to adhere to the national and military character, although he had been emphasizing the establishment of a centralized central government all his life, he had never been pretentious to local warlords. But through this incident, I still have a good impression of Zhang Hanqing, the son of a warlord.

He also reciprocated the favor and gave Feng a lot of benefits in his subsequent interactions, which is a later story.
