Zhang Xueliang came to Shanghai and was welcomed by all walks of life in Shanghai.

Originally, according to the resolution of the Beiyang government, no troops were allowed to be stationed around Shanghai, but after the Second Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, the Feng army from the northeast withdrew from Shanghai and stayed in Jiangsu.

This time, Zhang Xueliang came to Shanghai with more than 1,000 soldiers, which meant a demonstration and involved a confrontation between the warlords of the Feng and Anhui factions.

The Beiyang government, controlled by the Anhui warlords, did not go well in its negotiations with foreign legations.

On 1 June, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang Government sent a note to the envoys of various countries, expressing condemnation and indignation and demanding that the Western officials in the Shanghai Public Concession be held accountable.

The Legation received the note and met on 2 June for discussion.

It was decided to give a firm rebuttal that left no room for criticism, arguing that the patrol was carried out of self-defense in case of a mob who was attacking the house.

On 4 June, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent another note to the Legation, stating: "Most of the wounded and killed were shot from their backs, and none of the officers were killed or injured during the patrol. ”

On 6 June, the legation officially replied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On the one hand, it refuted the Chinese accusations, arguing that the Chinese Government was only sticking to one side of the story and did not say a word about the fact that foreigners in Shanghai had been repeatedly attacked, and on the other hand, it informed the Chinese side that the legation had decided to send a committee to Shanghai to investigate the situation on the spot.

As a result, the committee of the Western legation and the special commissioner of the Beiyang government came to Shanghai to investigate the details of the May Day massacre.

On June 13, the two sides decided to negotiate in Shanghai to defuse the current tensions in Shanghai.

Zhang Xueliang came to Shanghai from Tianjin, and Cai Tinggan, a special commissioner of the Beiyang government, was not all the way.

After the Second Zhifeng War, the direct warlord Wu Peifu was defeated and fled south. The Feng warlord Zhang Zalin occupied half of China, and his military power reached its peak.

Zhang Xueliang is the future commander of the Feng army. He has a great chance of becoming the ruler of China in the future.

This year, he had just turned twenty-four years old. It can be described as heroic and high-spirited.

On June 15, he met with representatives of the Overseas Chinese Student Association and the Overseas Chinese Industrial Association.

Clearly stated: "I am willing to fight with personal qualifications and reason." As for the first floor of the Shanghai Incident, after hearing about the Shanghai Incident, outsiders still recruited marines to land to protect law and order. Even in our territory, the contemptible people had to bring troops to Shanghai to defend the lives and property of the Chinese. ”

In fact, Zhang Xueliang's action was to pave the way for the expansion of Feng's forces into Jiangsu.

It was also this trip to Shanghai. He met Miss Song Jiasan.

He did not visit the injured people and accuse the public concession authorities of atrocities every day in Shanghai, but in fact, he lived very comfortably, and he was like a fish in water in this drunken ten-mile market.

He and Miss Song Jiasan met at a cocktail party at the U.S. Embassy in Shanghai.

One is a gentleman, the other is a socialite, and he pursued the third lady of the Song family.

At this time, Zhang Xueliang was already married, but for this playboy, this is not a problem. He invited Miss Song Jiasan to the dance hall, horseback riding, golf, and so on.

Many years later, Zhang Xueliang still regretted that he could not become a family member with Miss Song Jiasan.

He once said to the reporter he interviewed: "If I hadn't had a wife, I would have chased after Song Meiling."

During this period, Lin Zixuan and Zhang Xueliang met once.

Zhang Xueliang is interested in making films. Miss Song Jiasan introduced him to Star Film Company.

Lin Zixuan received the young marshal of the Northeast Army, and the two talked a few words.

He found that Zhang Xueliang was not very interested in movies, but he was quite interested in female movie stars. I've always wanted to make friends and discuss the art of film.

Shanghai is the production center of the country's films. There are almost no film companies in the north.

It can be said that Shanghai's movie actresses are synonymous with beauty and fashion.

Lin Zixuan was not interested in introducing female stars to him. Others value Zhang Xueliang because of the strength of the Feng warlord, but Lin Zixuan knows that the Feng warlord will go downhill in two years, and he has no future in the future.

He didn't need to be polite to this young marshal who was in full swing, and directly refused this request.

What's more, because of the strike, the star film company did not start work, leaving only a few workers to guard the machinery and equipment.

In the company's screening room, he screened the movie "Sunrise" to Zhang Xueliang, so that the young marshal could see the miserable life of the courtesans on the beach, and he would be more restrained in the future.

After Zhang Xueliang left, Lin Zixuan called Miss Song Jiasan to tell him about it, and felt that this person was not good and too unreliable.

Miss Song just smiled on the phone and didn't say anything.

Lin Zixuan didn't mean to interfere with the relationship between the two, he was not so boring, during this time, he was quite busy.

With the seizure of Vientiane Bookstore and Vientiane Radio, the workers' strike, and the suspension of the film company, it stands to reason that he should be idle, but Lin Zixuan felt that this was a good opportunity to publish "The Man in the High Castle".

He is not worried about the affairs of the bookstore, and when this trend passes, he can dredge up with the French, and the Vientiane bookstore can be lifted.

In the past few days, to the outside world, Lin Zixuan has hardly appeared in public.

He hid in the bookstore alone to typeset, and it was very easy to watch the workers do it before, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult when he did it himself, which is called the eye master is low.

He writes at night and typesets during the day.

Fortunately, Feng Chengcheng and his children stayed in Wuxi, and no one knew that he stayed up late at night to write novels.

After more than ten days of hard work, he finally finished writing "The Man in the High Castle", and it was almost printed.

He was only going to print thirty novels, which he would mail to the world's major publishing houses and newspapers when he arrived in the United States, and it was up to God to decide what would happen next.

At this time, the negotiations between the Beiyang government and the foreign legations broke down, and there were big differences between the two sides.

In the relevant memorandum, the British Foreign Office said: "The Chinese commissioners have not been able to resist pressure from their nationals to insert into the settlement conditions a far-reaching and unrelated requirement affecting the entire system of the Public Concession." ”

The Beiyang government put forward 13 conditions for negotiations.

There are major differences including: the vote of the Ministry of Industry Bureau; halting the construction of cross-border roads; revocation of printing laws and other cases; The Chinese had freedom of speech, assembly, and publication in the concession; Replacement of the General Secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

By late June, the negotiations were still inconclusive.

On June 26, shops in the Public Concession opened for business, heralding the end of the strike.

But the situation in Shanghai is still tense, the strike has not resumed, and all parties are waiting for the final outcome of the incident.

On this day, Pearl and her husband, Booker, arrived in Shanghai to return to the United States on a cruise.

The two apologized for the violence in Shanghai, and they were also hit in Nanjing.

In the month following the May Day massacre, xenophobia across China was very strong, and many foreigners chose to leave China for safety reasons.

Lin Zixuan took the movie copy and luggage, and boarded a cruise ship to the United States with the Bookers.

The reason for his trip to the United States this time was to promote Chinese films and visit his sister, no one knew what he really thought, and he had a lot of books in his luggage, including thirty copies of "The Man in the High Castle".

He's going to change the world. (To be continued.) )
