The fleet was moving quickly on the sea, and the cruiser "Haichou" took the lead!

Chen Shaokuan and Lu Yixuan stood on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze.

A few seabirds flew in front of the fleet, as if to lead the way.

"Shanghai is going to move soon, and once it moves, He Fenglin will definitely try his best to suppress it." Chen Shaokuan opened his mouth and said: "Our task is to reinforce Shanghai as soon as the transportation of troops from Hunan is completed. ”

Lu Yixuan nodded calmly.

Transporting a troop into Shanghai and giving him a hard blow behind Lu Yongxiang's ass.

In this fleet, there is a battalion personally commanded by Li Yifeng, captain of the "Zhurong Brigade" of the special forces, and a battalion of the newly established Marine Corps of the new-style arms of the National Revolutionary Army.

This was the first battle of the special forces and marines of the National Revolutionary Army, and the significance of this battle was not to achieve any brilliant results.

Chen Shaokuan looked ahead for a while: "Hanlin, my task is to lead the fleet and escort the troops to land in Shanghai, and the American and British warships will escort us. Although there are only two battalions of troops at your disposal, they are our elite, so you must use them carefully and wait for the arrival of the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army. ”

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Lu Yixuan looked very calm.

This is the first time that I have commanded a unit alone, and I have been given such an important task, which is also a huge challenge for me

Shanghai, August 11, 1919.

This day is destined to write a strong stroke in the history of Shanghai.

From early in the morning, a large number of workers, students, businessmen, and unidentified people gathered.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the big tour of Shanghai, the big strike, the big strike, the big boycott, and the big boycott began!

Slogans such as "Down with the warlords, down with Lu Yongxiang" and "Long live the victory of the Northern Expedition, long live the Nationalist Government" appeared all over the ranks of the wanderers.

Tens of thousands of people joined the team of the tour of the team, the team could not see the end at a glance, the black pressed one, and with the progress of the tour line, more and more people joined the team.

The whole of Shanghai was looking sideways at this tour.

When the parade passed through the British Concession and the French Concession, the patrols seemed to be blind and turned a blind eye at all. Even some Chinese patrolled and secretly took on the task of protecting the nomadic team.

In the ranks of the wanderers, the workers have undoubtedly become the main force.

The reason why the Nationalist Government wanted to use Huang Jinrong's power was largely because Huang Jinrong's influence among the workers was indeed not to be underestimated.

As the main force of the previous strikes in Shanghai, the most experienced strikers were the workers who returned from Europe. During World War I, more than 10,000 Chinese workers were recruited from Europe, and after the war, they returned to their homeland with many striker techniques. In France alone, Chinese workers staged 25 strikes between November 1916 and February 1918, and they also sabotaged at least two strikes of French dock workers and gas workers. When the returning workers arrived in Shanghai, they were greeted at the wharf by Huang Jinrong, a headhunter from the French Concession and a tycoon of the Green Gang.

Huang Jinrong also sent them a settling-in allowance and took the opportunity to absorb new members.

Before the start of the strike. The Qinghong Gang immediately held a meeting and decided to let all the thieves and pickpockets under their control participate in this great tour and general strike, and the beggars were also ordered to suspend begging during the tour and the daily meals were provided by the beggars. Even some prostitutes sang patriotic songs and closed their businesses.

Of course, there are opponents, and Yu Qiaqing, who suffered heavy losses in the gold stock market crash, is one of them.

Yu Qiaqing lost a lot of assets in the gold stock market crash, and at this time he was eager to recover, and he was most unwilling to see a strike!

On the occasion of the start of the market strike, Yu Qiaqing said worriedly: "Once the strike starts, the financial sector will be stagnant, and the people will panic, and the danger will be very great. If they hold on to each other any longer, who can keep the place from being stable? Merchants should be mindful of the sincerity of the government and urge all shops to open for business on the same day. ”…,

After the start of the Shanghai Grand Tour, the Shanghai seafarers jointly boycotted the workers and held a meeting at the Siming Club, and Yu Qiaqing was present to "Chen said the benefits": "The shipping is critical, and the loaded goods will be opened as usual"

But before he could finish speaking, the opponents shouted: "Who said the starter?" Beat! Beat! ”

Yu Qiaqing had no choice but to leave.

Shanghai's big parade, the big strike, the big strike, the big boycott of the school, is unstoppable!

The Shanghai storm broke out on August 11th!

The cry of "Down with the great warlord Lu Yongxiang" resounded in the streets, and thousands of people joined the ranks.

Lu Yongxiang's cronies in Shanghai, He Fenglin, were anxious. Although he had heard about this tour from various channels before, He Fenglin didn't take it too seriously.

After all, there have been so many things like this that have happened in Shanghai before.

But the fierceness of this storm was completely beyond He Fenglin's imagination.

The consul generals of the great powers have issued a stern warning to him that they must keep the Great Tour under control and restore order in Shanghai as soon as possible, otherwise they will lodge a serious protest with the government of the Central Empire.

Protest? Where the fuck are you going to protest? He Fenglin cursed in his heart. Go to the Beijing government to protest, or to go to the Guangzhou government to protest? These foreigners are not things!

They and Wang Hengyue eyebrows, hooked up, and now once something happens, aren't they on Wang Hengyue's side?

Fuck, and that Wang Hengyue isn't a thing! Lu garrisoned the envoy and said to the southern national government, but now that there is such a strike in Shanghai, it is said that it has nothing to do with Wang Hengyue, and the ghost believes it!

Lu Yongxiang's telegram had arrived, and he was trying to find a way to mobilize troops back to Shanghai, but before that, the situation in Shanghai must be stabilized.

In the telegram, Lu Yongxiang also specially explained that it can be suppressed by force when necessary!

Suppress by force? He Fenglin was a little worried, first, he only had less than a brigade in his hands, but he had to face tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of itinerant troops; Second, once there is bloodshed, who will bear this responsibility in the future?

Just when He Fenglin was hesitating, something happened in Shanghai again.

A large number of Qinghong gang members, disguised as members of the Youlu Xing, appeared on the streets, and while scattering leaflets "Down with Lu Yongxiang", they began to move in the direction of the barracks.

The 3rd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 42nd Regiment of the 21st Mixed Brigade stationed in Shanghai.

Dozens of people with mysterious whereabouts hurriedly came towards the third company station, and the sentry at the gate raised his gun at once: "Stop, this is the barracks, take another step forward, kill them!" ”

However, to the sentry's surprise, the men stopped and suddenly pulled out their guns.

Shots rang out, and the two sentries fell in response.

At this time, the barracks were suddenly disrupted, and a large number of soldiers poured out. Those in civilian clothes fired several shots in succession, did not dare to fight, turned around and ran.

The third company followed closely, and several plainclothes officers fell to the ground after being hit by bullets amid the gunfire

"Kill, kill! Lu Yongxiang is murderous! ”

"The great warlord Lu Yongxiang has killed someone! The great warlord Lu Yongxiang killed my patriotic people, and heaven does not tolerate it! ”

Suddenly, such a cry rang out everywhere in Shanghai.

The procession of wanderers suddenly stopped. Killed? Could it be that Lu Yongxiang really dared to shoot at the patriotic people?

But what happened next "confirmed" their fears.

The team of wanderers was divided, and more than a dozen people carried several stretchers and walked over slowly!

On the stretcher, lying were several corpses, flesh and blood blurred.

The parade was completely stunned.

A big man dressed in a worker's garment, with a beard on his face and one arm still tied in a bandage, came to the middle of the procession, pointed to the corpse, and said:

"Compatriots, citizens, we are workers of the Dahua Machinery Factory, and we are also here to participate in the strike. But He Fenglin, the lackey of the great warlord Lu Yongxiang, secretly ambushed the road with his army, and when we arrived, those soldiers shot us! Our people have suffered heavy casualties, and it is with great difficulty that we have managed to run out with their corpses for help, and many of our companions are still being slaughtered by them! ”…,

His words made the team fall silent.

Suddenly, a voice sounded:

"Down with the big warlord Lu Yongxiang, down with the lackey He Fenglin!"

"Down with the big warlord Lu Yongxiang, the big road lackey He Fenglin!"

In an instant, the people erupted in earth-shaking cries.

"Rescue patriotic workers and safeguard workers' rights and interests!"

"Rescue patriotic workers and safeguard workers' rights and interests!"

"Go, go, go to the army station, and rescue the patriotic workers!"

The bearded man took the lead: "Go, I'll take you there!" ”

Out of control, the situation in Shanghai is completely out of control.

The barracks of the 21st Brigade were attacked everywhere by unknown and sought-after raids, and news continued to come that "students were killed and workers were killed."

Later, the whole of Shanghai already knew the news that He Fenglin began to suppress it by force!

This news completely shook the whole of Shanghai.

Consuls of various countries have criticized He Fenglin for this act, and even the Japanese consuls, who have always supported the northern government, have chosen to keep silent under this great wave.

He Fenglin was aggrieved to the extreme, when did he give such an order? It was obviously those with weapons who opened fire first, and they were forced to return fire. But now, how did he become the culprit?

Under the pressure of all parties, under Lu Yongxiang's repeated urging, and under the frequent attacks on the military camp, He Fenglin, Lu Yongxiang's confidant, finally issued an order that may make him regret it for the rest of his life:

Suppress it!. ）
