On 24 March, Yucheng, which lasted for half a month, heated up further, and students from Yucheng University, East Sichuan Normal University, Provincial Senior Industrial School, Jingyi Middle School, Qiming Middle School, and other universities and middle schools once again gathered in the city center.

"Students! Let's go to the Municipal Axe! Ask the political axe to declare war on Yue! The students in blue robes stood on the high platform and raised their arms and shouted.

"Let's go! Go to the Municipal Axe! "There was a tempting response in the ranks. The crowd of students immediately swarmed in the direction of Daxigou, and then more people began to move.

"Students! Let's go to the main office! Down with imperialism! Another student in a tunic jumped up the steps and shouted.

"That's right! That's right, go to the main office! Someone immediately responded in a loud voice: "Go to the front line of resistance." ”

"Go to the front line of resistance!" More people shouted.

Immediately more than a thousand students flocked to the direction of Consul Lane, their slogans more inflammatory, and their voices even greater and more numerous; About three or four hundred people from the municipal axe herd also turned around and joined them.

"You can't go it alone!" Two male classmates ran to stop them.

"Go to the Imperial Consulate! Go to the front line of resistance! The man who pursued him cried out, "If you dare not go, go back, coward." ”

"Students, you should obey the leadership of the Student Salvation Association!" The male classmate said loudly.

"We are also here to save the Congress!" Someone in the crowd shouted unceremoniously, and then they pushed the two of them away and caught up with the advancing group.

The two male classmates looked at their backs, stomped back to catch up with the team, and quickly rushed to the front of the team, and found the person in charge, which made their callers a little at a loss, they didn't expect things to happen like this, so several people in the procession met quietly.

"It's not okay to go this way, most of the students went to Consular Alley."

"What the hell is going on? Didn't you notice? Why did you act without permission again? ”

"I think someone is making trouble," said the organizer who spoke apparently from last night, and he looked at the team behind him, and after a little contemplation, said resolutely, "we will do ours, let them do theirs." ”

"Good!"

The sudden change in the situation made them unaware that there was someone not far from them shouting, but scanning them with a calm eye.

The students soon arrived at the consulate, and in the distance they were standing at the entrance of the consulate with hundreds of policemen, who were holding batons and standing in four rows in front of the consulate to protect the consulate.

"Down with imperialism!" The procession chanted slogans and gradually approached, and the sergeant who led the team wiped his sweat nervously, turned his head to look at the brothers behind him, and commanded softly: "Pass it down, only for show, not for real things, do you understand?" ”

"Sheriff, are these students scared? What if they want to push in? The policeman looked at the loud voice and asked with a weak heart.

"No matter what, no matter what the situation, you are not allowed to do it, just scare and scare." The sheriff said with a numb face, his heart was also puzzled, it was the first time he had received such an order in so many years as a policeman, and he had not swung a stick to hammer a person before.

"I said that I got out of the three eastern provinces!"

"Give me back the rivers and mountains! Down with imperialism! ”

The procession stood outside the police and shouted slogans, and the sergeant raised a microphone made of thin iron sheets and shouted: "Students! Students! This is the consulate! It is protected by international law! It can't be impacted! ”

Despite the sheriff's hoarseness, his voice was very small in front of the roar of thousands, and a boy rushed up to him, snatched the microphone from his hand, and turned to the group and shouted, "Students! The procession fell silent for a moment.

"Students, this is the bridgehead of the imperialist invasion of our Yucheng! It is the claws of the imperialists who have reached out to Chongqing! We must cut off this claw! The boy turned around and looked at the gray building hatefully: "Rush! ”

After saying that, he rushed towards the police, and the police hurriedly stopped him, and a roar sounded in the procession at the same time: "Students, rush!" ”

A group of people rushed out of the procession to the police's wall, and then more people rushed towards the police, and a fierce battle broke out in front of the consulate gate, the policemen waved their batons to make a gesture to hit, and the male classmate who hit the head covered his head with his arms and struggled into the policeman's wall, but the expected batons did not come down, but the police also hurriedly hugged them, and then pushed them out.

The students who found out the truth were suddenly demoralized, and more people rushed over, the front ones pulled with the police, and the back ones grabbed the crossbar and beat the police, and the police felt that grievance, while dodging the crossbar, they pushed the students around them.

Now the students were even more excited, "Rush in!" Kill the son of the turtle! Some of the policemen were pulled out of the wall by the students with blue faces and swollen noses, and then pushed to the periphery of the crowd, and the students on the periphery were so anxious that they couldn't squeeze in, and they didn't know who threw stones into the consulate first, and then the stones rained down, and the neat and bright glass of the building immediately broke out with a crisp cracking sound.

"Eight Grids!" In the consulate, Gu Liner scolded angrily, although the police defense line could barely protect the door of the consulate, but if things continued to develop, the gate would inevitably be lost. Of course, Asaya Linji saw that there was something strange in it, when did the Chinese police become so cowardly.

"Send a telegram to Nanjing, asking for troops to be sent to protect the expatriate." Consular officer Tamura suggested.

"Eight squares! A sucker! The fire in Asaya's stomach finally found a place to vent, and he turned around and slapped Tamura in the face with two loud slaps, if the military department could send troops, it would have been sent a long time ago.

Just when the consulate was crumbling, He Guoguang quietly came in from behind with a few people, and He Guoguang sweated profusely and shouted at the door: "Mr. Consul, Mr. Consul." ”

Seeing He Guoguang as if grasping a life-saving straw, Asaya Linji immediately rushed to him: "Mayor He, the consulate is protected by international law, you are clear about the consequences of storming the consulate, you must take action to disperse the rioters outside!" ”

"Mr. Consul, I'm having a hard time too!" He Guoguang shouted repeatedly: "Our municipal axe is also surrounded by students, and Vice Mayor Zhuang is still surrounded by students, and I finally managed to sneak out." He Guoguang said, pointing to a red scar on his neck and said, "Look, this is the student who smashed it with a stone!" ”

Asaya was furious but had to suppress it, after all, it was a very humiliating thing for the consulate to be stormed: "Mayor He, this is the territory of the Great Empire, I hope you can calm this matter down as soon as possible and let the students outside leave." ”

"Of course, it is our responsibility to maintain the friendship between the two countries, and I will persuade the students to leave." He Guoguang patted his chest very righteously, but when he approached the window and looked at the momentum outside, he couldn't help but be shocked, and muttered to himself in his heart, didn't he say that he would not rush into the consulate? Why is it so powerful, looking at the crazy energy of the students, can you still control it?

Chao Gu looked at him and shrank his neck, and couldn't help but squint at him with disdain, He Guoguang looked at Chao Gu, dressed in military uniform, and then coughed twice to clear his throat before opening the door. As soon as the door was opened, a few stones were thrown outside the door, and the two of them quickly closed the door again.

", they're crazy!" He Guoguang spat on the ground fiercely, but Chao Gu suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, he was a regular diplomat, and he was very particular about diplomatic rules, and he was completely unacceptable to China's current behavior of ignoring diplomatic rules.

When He Guoguang and Chaogu were trapped in the Imperial Mansion, Zhuang Jihua was also trapped by the students in the municipal axe conference room.

After the students arrived outside the municipal axe gate, they just shouted a few rows of slogans inside, and the door of the municipal axe opened, and Zhuang Jihua greeted them with a smile, he told the students that he was very supportive of their patriotic actions and was willing to talk to them on an equal footing, and asked them to send forty representatives to the municipal axe conference room for talks.

The students were stunned for a moment, this is an unprecedented treatment, the best time in the past was to accept the petitioner's petition, and their greatest hope this time is to forward the petition to the central political axe, and there has never been an official who has an equal dialogue with them, the momentum of the May Fourth Movement is so big, at most it is just to catch Zhang Zongxiang and beat him.

"Let's go in!" Undeterred, the students quickly elected 40 delegates and walked into the venue under the leadership of representatives of the Yucheng University Student Salvation Association.

They were stunned again when they entered the conference room, and in the clean conference room, there was a white tablecloth on the long table, on which tea and fruit candy were placed. The delegates stood at the door and looked at each other, not knowing that Zhuang Jihua was playing, and stood at the door in a daze and wanted to enter but didn't dare to enter. Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but laugh in his heart, these students were young after all, and they always thought about the tiger's den in Longtan, and they really put on a posture for him to feast on the Hongmen, and they hesitated again.

"Please come in, please come in." Zhuang Jihua stood by the door to greet him, and the two representatives of the Major Salvation Association exchanged glances and walked into the venue first.

Zhuang Jihua smiled slightly, he pointed to the two positions in front of him, and invited them to sit beside him, the two students glared at Zhuang Jihua as if they were challenging, and then sat down in that position.

Someone took the lead, and someone followed, and soon the conference room was packed. This is too crowded, Zhuang Jihua frowned and looked at the room, the reason why he made a list of forty people was that it was estimated that the number of Communist Party members among the students would not exceed forty, but at most about ten people, so that when the meeting was held, their number would not be the absolute majority, and the situation would not be controlled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "I have very little time in the municipal axe, and I underestimate the volume of the conference room of the municipal axe, so everyone will just talk, anyway, it's okay to squeeze the sardines." ”

Most of the people in the conference room showed a relaxed smile on their faces, the tense atmosphere in the air eased slightly, Zhuang Jihua glanced at the venue, and then said: "Everyone drink saliva, and the mouth is dry after shouting for a long time, don't worry, drink saliva, it's already here, the problem will be solved, don't worry." ”
