"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"Oppose the autonomy of North China!"

"Boycott the Ho-Mei Agreement!"

“……”

On the streets of Tianjin, hundreds of students, workers and people marched angrily through the mud after the flood waters receded.

Some military and police officers were nervously guarding the roadside, and the newly appointed mayor of Tianjin, Cheng Ke, hurried to organize, holding an iron horn and shouting: "Students, compatriots, I am Cheng Ke, the mayor of Tianjin, please listen to me!" The so-called "Ho-Mei Agreement" is a pure rumor, and I hope that everyone will not use hearsay. The central government will not give up North China, and Chairman Chiang will not be able to ignore the compatriots in North China......"

Zhou Hexuan's family had just come back from shopping in the department store, Xiao Weilie was lying on the car window to watch the excitement, and asked curiously: "Dad, there are so many people over there, what are they doing?" ”

"They are doing a patriotic march." Zhou Hexuan said.

Xiao Lingjun began to break the casserole again and asked, "What is a patriotic parade?" ”

Zhou Hexuan explained: "To love the country is to love the motherland, and when the country is in danger, everyone must march together to save the country." ”

Xiao Lingjun clapped his hands and said, "Love the motherland, I know that in school, the teacher said that we are all Chinese, and we must love our motherland." ”

"Dad, I'm going to the patriotic parade too." Little Verlie turned to look at his father, and his attitude was extremely serious.

Zhou Hexuan sat down on his lap with his son in his arms, and said patiently: "Patriotism does not have to be a parade. You are students now, and studying hard is patriotic. When you grow up, you will use the knowledge you have learned to serve the motherland, which is also patriotic. ”

Xiao Lingjun said ostentatiously: "Dad, I am also very patriotic." Last time the school organized to donate money to buy an airplane, I donated the most money in the class, donating all my pocket money. Both the teacher and the principal praised me for my patriotism and gave me a certificate of merit. ”

"I also donated, and I also have a certificate!" Little Verlie is not to be left behind.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are all patriotic and good children," Zhang Leyi touched his son's head lovingly and said worriedly, "Brother Xuan, once the "Hemei Agreement" is signed, Beiping and Tianjin will not be safe, should we make plans early?" ”

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "The Hemei Agreement is fake. ”

"Fake?" Cui Huifu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, said in surprise, "It's spread all over Tianjin, and now the newspapers are talking about it, how can it be fake?" ”

Zhou Hexuan's face showed an ugly smile: "This kind of secret traitorous agreement, the Nanjing government is eager to hide it, how can it easily leak the news?" At present, the contents of the "Ho-Mei Agreement" were deliberately issued by the Japanese. ”

"That is, I didn't sign the "Hemei Agreement"?" Cui Huifu said.

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "It is the same whether to sign or not, although the "Hemei Agreement" is fake, its content is true. Le Yi is right, we should have made a plan early, we have to leave Tianjin next year at the latest, this is not a place to stay for a long time. ”

Since the beginning of this year, Japan has been constantly creating trouble in North China, and has even tried to plot the independence of the five provinces in North China and build a "puppet North China State" by following the example of the "puppet Manchukuo."

In order to achieve this goal, the Japanese side even killed two traitors. The two traitors were named Hu Enbo and Bai Yuhuan, the presidents of the two newspapers "Guoquan" and "Zhenbao" respectively, and they specialized in advocating and propagating traitorous remarks.

Takashi Sakai, chief of staff of the Japanese North China Garrison Army, plotted to kill the two, and then claimed that the Blue Coat Society had done it, forcing the Nanjing government to further relinquish sovereignty over North China, and even demanding that the Kuomintang withdraw its party headquarters from Beiping and Tianjin, and ordering the Central Army and the Northeast Army to withdraw from Hebei.

Of course He Yingqin didn't dare to agree, if this kind of thing was done, he would immediately become a notorious traitor. Because He Yingqin refused to sign, Takashi Sakai lost his temper on the spot, and even took off his pants to pee in the courtyard of the negotiation, completely despising China.

He Yingqin was forced to have no choice but to ask Chang Kaishen. Lao Jiang had no good way, so he could only use the word "drag" again, and let He Yingqin agree verbally first, and the withdrawal side played a word game, which probably meant that China agreed to withdraw the troops, and then the order to the troops was to "retreat at their own discretion", in fact, it was to let the army endure in North China.

After receiving the instructions of Lao Chiang, He Yingqin immediately conducted a series of negotiations with Japan, and said that he "promised everything proposed" by Japan. The Japanese were not satisfied with this kind of empty promise, and forced He Yingqin to exchange his verbal promises for diplomatic documents.

He Yingqin had to hand over the relevant reply letter to the Japanese, but it was not stamped and signed, and it was logically said that it had no legal effect.

With these replies from He Yingqin, Japan immediately began to publicize it, claiming that China and Japan had signed the "North China Agreement," which was the infamous "He-Mei Agreement" in history. The "129" Movement a few months later was set off to resist the "He-Mei Agreement" and oppose the autonomy of North China.

As for He Yingqin, it was yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, not was. What's more, he did make verbal promises, and the Nanjing government actually made a series of traitorous acts.

That's why Zhou Hexuan said that although the "He-Mei Agreement" is fake, its content is true—at least a large part of it is true.

At present, the situation in North China is extremely complicated, and the Nanjing government, Song Zheyuan, and the Japanese are all fighting, and the three sides sometimes cooperate with each other, and sometimes tear each other down. Coupled with the vacillation of Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army, it was simply a mess, and it was impossible to sort it out.

Back at home, Cui Huifu immediately supervised Xiao Lingjun and Xiao Weilie to practice calligraphy, while Zhou Hexuan teased the other three children and discussed the move with Zhang Leyi.

Zhou Hexuan said: "I have sent a telegram to my father-in-law and asked him to build a mansion in Chongqing. When the house is repaired, our family can move in. As for Tianjin's industry, it can be slowly taken off now. ”

"Moving to Chongqing? That's a long way off. Wanrong was surprised.

"Chongqing is safe." Zhou Hexuan said.

Liao Yaquan hopes that the farther away the better, and it is best to stop having anything to do with Japan, she hugged her son and suggested: "It's better to go directly to the United States." ”

"There's no rush yet." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Zhang Leyi said: "Then I will prepare now, does the radio station need to be sold?" ”

"Don't sell, transport all the machinery and equipment to Chongqing. If you are willing to follow the staff who have come over, we can provide the cost of the journey and take care of renting a house in Chongqing for them," Zhou Hexuan thought for a while and said, "I will move when I come back from the UK this time." ”

"You're going again!" Zhang Leyi said dissatisfied.

Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "It's already said, it's not okay if you don't go." ”

At this moment, the servant came in and reported: "Sir, Miss Yu is here." ”

"Let her in." Zhou Hexuan said.

Yu Peichen soon came to the house, she winked at Zhou Hexuan, and Zhou Hexuan immediately took her to the study to have a secret talk.

Yu Peichen closed the curtains, looked into the aisle again, and then closed the door and said, "Mr. Nan has been followed by someone when he returns to Tianjin this time, and it seems that his identity has been exposed." He asked me to tell you that he needs to change his identity and stay in hiding for the time being, and he won't contact you again for half a year. As for the resumption of the magazine "Non-Attack", he said that it was best not to stay in Tianjin, because the situation here is too complicated. ”

As the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Fei Offensive", Nan Hanchen went to Shanghai to engage in secret work after the magazine was banned. When Zhou Hexuan returned to Tianjin, Nan Hanchen also returned, but he didn't dare to show up at all, so he could only change his face and use a new identity.

As for Ji Hongchang, although Zhou Hexuan reminded him in many ways, he still generously took justice at the end of last year, leaving a desperate poem of "Hate not to resist Japan and die, and leave it as a shame today".

Ji Hongchang only cared about avoiding the Kuomintang agents, but was arrested by the French in the concession, handed over to the Tianjin Public Security Bureau, and then taken to the Beiping Army Prison, where he was brutally killed.

Zhou Hexuan was helpless about this, because Ji Hongchang was too high-profile, not only publicly admitted that he had joined the Communist Party, but also contacted everywhere to form anti-Japanese organizations. Under Ji Hongchang's tandem, many of the Yugong generals of the Northwest Army in Tianjin were ready to move, and it was impossible for Lao Jiang to let the Northwest Army resurge.

The only thing that makes Zhou Hexuan feel relieved is that Shi Liangcai, the boss of "Declaration", is still alive and well. Under Zhou Hexuan's reminder, Shi Liangcai successfully evaded assassination, and now hides in the Tianjin Concession to remotely direct the affairs of the "Declaration".

"What about you? Your mission is done. Zhou Hexuan asked.

Yu Peichen smiled: "I am Mr. Zhou's personal secretary, of course I will follow you in the future." ”
