Xiao Xiangshan's speech resonated with the people of Jiangbei, and this year may be the most difficult year for Jiangbei people, but it is also the proudest year for Jiangbei people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWith the efforts of the Jiangbei people, under the courageous struggle of the generals, the situation has been reversed, and now Feng Guozhang's first road has fallen into Fang Xianwu's trap, and the 80,000 army has made Fang Xianwu play around, and Li Shirui, a young man, led a group of fierce generals to defeat Duan Qirui's three-way army - of course, the third road can also be said to be scared away - in time, when Fang Xianwu eats Feng Guozhang's army, the Jiangbei army can concentrate all its strength to deal with Duan Qirui's miscellaneous machine, And at that time, whether it is the Qing Army or the Beiyang Army, it will be powerless to resist the Northern Expedition of the Jiangbei Army.

The army of the Jiangbei Bureau went straight to Beijing, overthrew the Manchu Dynasty, and established China belonging to the Jiangbei people, yes, the glory that all Jiangbei people never thought of was about to appear, and if there was no Japanese intervention, history would once again appear Jiangbei people to seize Jiangshan. Jiangbei native Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, Jiangbei native Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Jiangbei native Wang Yongan may create a new era -- the fruits of victory are just around the corner, but because of this damn little Japan, it is forced to give up, and it may even lead to the tragic end of Jiangbei being besieged by the Qing army under the city of Yangzhou, which can not make the people of Jiangbei willing.

Wang Yongan sighed and said with a wry smile: "We can't have both bear paws and fish meat, we have chosen to face the provocation of the Japanese and treat it toughly, and we will face the painful decision to make concessions to Yuan Shikai." But with my understanding of Yuan Shikai, he will definitely not do anything to fall into the ground. ”

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Zhang Jian sneered.

Wang Yongan said with confidence: "No, if we fight them, he will use all kinds of despicable methods to defeat us, but when we fight the Japanese, he will definitely not deal with us." In the heart of my old father-in-law, foreign powers are his real enemies, and any domestic opponent is only a stumbling block in his way. ”

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, even if Wang Yongan's words were just speculation, there was no such possibility, and at this moment he couldn't say anything that was not conducive to morale, so he nodded in support and said: "Yuan Shikai is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, and he will not do anything that the nation hates." ”

Wang Yongan smiled in response, and then looked around at everyone with a shuttle of eyes, and said: "This time, we Jiangbei will resolutely not back down, never back down!" We know the temperament of the Japanese too well, and the Japanese stick not a needle in our back, but a spear, and if we ignore them and tolerate them, their spear will stab us in the chest and pierce our hearts. ”

Everyone was short of breath, they all saw Wang Yongan's hideous face, this is an expression that has never been seen before, Wang Yongan's image has always been gentle and elegant, but what they never expected was that Wang Yongan at this time showed courage and heroism, as if he was not a commander from a literati background, but an executioner.

"Li Yao, immediately send a telegram to Fang Xianwu and Li Shirui, ordering them to organize the army to assemble in Yangzhou, order the reserve regiment in Nantong, resolutely not let the Japanese land, and tell all the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army that behind us is our hometown!" Wang Yongan shouted loudly.

"Yes!" Li Yao replied excitedly.

After strengthening their determination to resist, everyone returned to prepare, only Zhang Jian and Wei Wenkang stayed, and then Wei Wenkang stayed outside the door, and Wang Yongan and Zhang Jian discussed secretly. Zhang Jian's face was full of worry at this time, and he asked: "If we don't back down, this matter may lead to strong retaliation from Japan, and may even trigger a national war." ”

"This is also what I'm worried about, in the face of the giant shark of the Japanese Empire, we are indeed not retreating, nor are we advancing, maybe if we had dealt with the poisoning of the Japanese instructor earlier, it might not have brought about this disaster." Wang Yongan said regretfully.

Zhang Jian said with a rare soberness: "This is not your problem, nor is it the problem of the Jiangbei police, I think that Japan suddenly announced that it wants Nantong, and it must have been prepared for a long time, maybe before the Japanese instructor had an accident, the Japanese had this plan." Or, this act of poisoning is actually a conspiracy, a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time, but we never thought that when we fought a decisive battle with Yuan Shikai, the Japanese would attack us behind our backs. ”

Wang Yongan pondered for a long time, thinking of the cause and effect before and after, and thinking of the "September 18 Incident" in the future, when the Japanese themselves blew up their own railroad and planted bribes to blame the Northeast Army, and the 77 Incident used the disappearance of soldiers to blame the Northwest Army, both times he first stabbed himself, and then claimed that the Chinese did it, and then thought of everything that Hou Gan seized, and the answer was about to come out. Wang Yongan's red eyes and resentment said: "Now we can make clear a prerequisite for us, that is, Japan must get Nantong, no matter what kind of concessions we make, this is not our own problem, but theirs." ”

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly: "Yes, this is why you said at the meeting that Yuan Shikai would not take the opportunity to fall into the ground, but I will no longer refute it, if the two groups of people attack us at the same time - I am afraid that the meeting will not be held, and everyone will have their own bulk goods." ”

"Thank you, Governor, for your understanding." Wang Yongan smiled and said.

Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "Nantong is my hometown, Jiangbei is my hometown, I would rather be broken than keep my hometown." Yun Shuai, but now I am worried that the Japanese will ask for endless things, so we will never back down with the Japanese, and political negotiations are also needed. ”

"What do you think is the bottom line of our negotiations?"

Zhang Jian said: "The indemnity shall not be more than two million taels of silver, Nantong must not be able to be used as collateral, and the apology shall be made by the reputation of the Jiangbei Independent Government, not a personal apology, this matter is a matter of national honor, not a personal matter." ”

Wang Yongan frowned tightly and said: "What I don't understand is this, why did the Japanese want me to go to Japan to apologize, they should know that this matter is not to be done." ”

Zhang Jian said: "That's because they want to humiliate the Jiangbei government by humiliating you, so that the people of Jiangbei will be suspicious, despise and betray you, so as to disintegrate our Jiangbei government and attack the Jiangbei government's determination to resist from the side." If there is a rift within us, it will inevitably lead to a lack of determination to resist, and the Japanese will be less likely to have a frontal confrontation. ”

Wang Yongan immediately reacted, no wonder the country will never allow insulting leaders in the future, it turns out that this is not only related to personal honor, but also related to the dominance of the leading class, once the upper class is unstable, it is very likely to cause disorder in the lower class, and then let the country collapse, the insidiousness of the Japanese is really not simple, but fortunately, the wisdom of the Chinese is not inferior to it, and fortunately, there is Zhang Jian, an old fox, standing behind him, otherwise Wang Yongan is likely to choose to sacrifice his personal reputation to apologize to Japan under heavy pressure, and then lose his wife and fold the army.
