"Caught and captured, killed and killed, it's really disgusting, little Japan of dog days!" Li Yao couldn't help but scold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Luo Yinxian said: "Everyone may have overlooked one thing, that is, why do they have to continue to investigate the truth, is the truth still unclear?" Everybody knows that. ”

"That's right, those officers of the Eight Banners burned them to death in the middle of the night, what else is there to investigate? Everyone knows it, ask the people of Huai'an, the people know about it, what else can be investigated. Shao Yongqin, commander of the First Division of the Jiangbei Army, complained.

Luo Yinxian frowned and said: "I always feel that it's not so simple behind it, Yun Shuai, maybe the Japanese have a deeper purpose behind it." ”

"What is the purpose?" Wang Yongan touched his nose and asked, "I also have doubts about this, but I haven't been able to figure it out." ”

Feng Heng nodded in support and said: "The Japanese are very utilitarian, and they will definitely not leave these instructors behind and throw us to make trouble, don't they know that interfering in China's internal affairs will be attacked by the whole country?" So if the Japanese don't leave this time, there must be a conspiracy behind it, and it can even be said that it is a very big conspiracy. ”

"Maybe we're just worrying about it, what's the big deal about little Japan." Gao Zhaokui, commander of the First Brigade of the First Division of the Jiangbei Army, laughed. The First Division is the predecessor of the Jiangbei Army, the Garrison Brigade, and it is also the only unit in the Jiangbei Ninth Brigade that has completed the reorganization, and the division has two brigades and four independent regiments, totaling 25,000 people. Gao Zhaokui has made a lot of contributions in the recovery of Jiangbei, so he also has a certain right to speak in the military meeting.

Chen Zhaotang turned his head and asked, "Yun Shuai, what are your plans?" To catch, or not to catch? Do you tend to catch or not? After the recovery of Jiangbei, Chen Zhaotang officially moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and because Chen Zhaotang once slaughtered revolutionaries when he was an official in Guangdong, Sun Yat-sen and others fully admitted to the military department of the Jiangbei government, and it can even be said that they do not want to see the former executioner become a revolutionary comrade. However, Wang Yongan knows Chen Zhaotang's ability, this person is resolute and daring, there are some similar to Secretary Dakang in a later TV series "The Power of the People", the ability to be a person but has no friends, and he is appreciated by his boss but suppressed.

Wang Yongan sighed and said slowly: "I am also very hesitant, arresting the Japanese is a big trouble, if the Japanese ask us for people, what should we do?" But if we don't arrest the Japanese and let them check around our territory, how can I have face in Jiangbei? ”

"Little Japan stayed to find a fight, I think, it's better to arrest it and return it to the Japanese consul." Gao Zhaokui suggested.

"I agree with Brigadier Gao's suggestion." Wei Daofeng said with a smile, "We are not arresting, but sending them out of the country, as for the truth they want to investigate, we can investigate." I just want to arrest someone, we helped them do it, and directly announced that the Qing army was burning, maybe it could cause Japan and Yuan Shikai to eat dog. ”

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.

Wang Yongan always felt that there was a haze lingering in his heart, things would not be so simple, and it could even be said that it would bring them trouble, but the only way to deal with it now was to bring the Japanese to Shanghi and hand them over to the Japanese consul.

"That's it." Wang Yongan could not hesitate any longer, he made a bet and asked Li Yao to publicize the collusion between the Qing army and the Japanese, so as to increase the sense of collectivity and honor of the military and people in Jiangbei -- we defeated the Japanese.

The new round of propaganda offensive in the Jiangbei region immediately turned to the Qing government's collusion with the Japanese, accusing the Qing government of betraying the country behind its back to seek glory, and must have reached many secret traitorous terms with Japan.

Soon the news spread to the whole country, causing a strong resistance from the gentry and the common people across the country, but no matter how high the voice of the bottom is, it is just the shouts of the people, and it does not touch the upper rulers, Yuan Shikai thought that it was better for the Qing court to be scolded for himself, and the southern revolutionary government was also a turtle with a shrunken head at this time, without any official statements and propositions. Sun Yat-sen himself knows that he is at a loss, and now if he insults the Japanese government, what will he do about borrowing money from Japan? Yuan Shikai certainly hired Japanese instructors, and the Southern Revolutionary Government borrowed money from Japan to pay salaries to the revolutionary army and revolutionary government workers...... Wouldn't the revolutionary government of the South be even more traitorous?

Therefore, although Jiangbei won the hearts of the people, it did not hurt the foundation of the governments of the north and the south, and Wang Yongan saw that this trick was useless, so he had to send the Japanese instructor gift to Shanghai.

However, what people never expected was that there was another accident here, and the Japanese instructors who were arranged by Jiangbei to live in the dormitory suddenly suffered from food poisoning, and more than 30 Japanese instructors actually died of poisoning.

Hou Gan's investigation report is that someone offered a puffer fish the day before, and the chef accidentally spilled the blood of the puffer fish on the meat while handling it, resulting in the highly poisonous puffer fish blood killing the Japanese instructor. But this time, Jiangbei got into trouble, and the Japanese demanded that Jiangbei be responsible for it and compensate.

"Eventful, eventful." Zhang Jian, who had just returned to Yangzhou from Shanghi, shook his head with a wry smile, this trip to Shanghi was extremely unsmooth, the Four Nations Bank refused to negotiate with the Jiangbei government about the salt tax, they hoped to negotiate with the government representing China, not with the local government, if the Jiangbei government now seized the power of Jingshi and overthrew the Manchus, the Four Nations Bank would not only not refuse to negotiate with them, but would take the initiative to find them. It is a pity that they are only a local self-government, and in the eyes of the countries, such a local independent government is illegal, so the countries will never negotiate with the illegal government.

"Excuses, all excuses!" Wei Wenkang said angrily, "It's not that the British and French don't talk to us, but they feel that we are going to collapse and are not optimistic about us." ”

On the left, the Four Nations Bank refused to negotiate, and on the right, the Japanese wanted Jiangbei to be responsible for the poisoning and death of a Japanese officer, Wang Yongan had two heads, but news came from Anhui, and Feng Guozhang led the Qing army to conquer Susong County, Taihu County, Wangjiang County, Qianshan County, Huaining County, Tongcheng County, Hefei County, Chao County, Shou County, Pukou, He County, Chuzhou, Lu'an County, and Huoshan County one after another.

"Feng Guozhang's army has taken more than 20 counties all the way, and our central Anhui police force and local security regiment cannot resist it, and now they have retreated on all fronts, but some have taken refuge in the Qing army." Chief of Staff Feng Heng said with a wry smile.

"Don't blame them." Wang Yongan said lightly, and then asked: "Since the Qing army has occupied Chuzhou, it is not far from our first line of defense, right?" ”

"Yes, it's only more than 100 kilometers, three days away." Feng Hengdao.

"Is Fang Xianwu ready?"

"Fang Xianwu is completely ready, the strength of the two armies is equal, Feng Guozhang's department is the main force of the Beiyang Army, and the enemy must not be underestimated." Wang Yongan sighed, his eyes looked at Fengyang Mansion, the hometown of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and this time it will be a turning point that will determine the fate of Jiangbei.
