Chapter 288 The Great Rectification of Shanghai

King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace is the uncle of Emperor Hirohito, he does not have the courage of ordinary samurai to commit suicide to serve the emperor, and he is an imperial family, there is no need to show his loyalty to the emperor in this way, so, in the case of irreparable defeat, he personally ordered all the disabled Shanghai dispatch troops to lay down their arms and surrender, otherwise they will be treated as rebels.

It seems that the execution of the royal family is still relatively strong, although there are still some arrogant soldiers who are very reluctant, but no one has the courage to disobey the orders of King Hatohiko of the Asahi Palace.

Yan Huangjun was quite satisfied with the performance of King Hatoyan of Chaoxiang Palace, and Huang Keqiang also met him in person.

"General Huang, we deeply admire your [***] team, some time ago, His Majesty the Emperor's cousin six people were captured by the communist army in Yan'an, but they were all well received, and soon after, they were released by the communist army back to their own country, this kind of righteousness, said that the people will always remember it", as soon as he saw Huang Keqiang, King Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace was very "sincere" Tao.

Huang Keqiang sneered in his heart when he heard this, didn't this guy secretly mean that he wanted to let him go? "The prince is right, the Chinese [***] team has always been well aware of the righteousness, not the strong and the weak, but the Chinese [***] team is not afraid of the strong enemy, will be hated, although the emperor's cousin of your country has some misdeeds, but did not do too much harm to the country, so the communist comrades-in-arms who have always understood the righteousness will let them go, but His Royal Highness the Prince is different, you personally issued the order to slaughter my compatriots in Nanjing, causing more than 300,000 of my compatriots to die tragically, let you go, do I Huang Keqiang still have the courage to face my 40,000 compatriots? You are an evil war criminal".

Huang Keqiang unceremoniously pointed to the nose of King Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace, and the latter trembled, "You, you want to kill me?" I am a big imperial family of this empire, and your move will only further increase the contradictions between the Chinese and Chinese peoples."

"Intensify the contradictions between the Chinese and Chinese peoples? This is a great culpability, are you afraid of us? Huang Keqiang asked amusedly, bowing his head to King Hatohiko of Xianggong and saying nothing.

"However, how to deal with you, I don't count, the Chinese people say it, you ask for more blessings."

He immediately ordered the proud guy to be escorted to Nanjing.

With the surrender of all the Shanghai dispatch troops, the retreat of the Shanghai army can be described as a complete failure, and the budget plan to retreat about 30,000 people has also come to naught, only a few small boats lucky to escape the layers of blockade of the Yan and Huang army escaped, in the next few dozen days, a small fishing boat can be seen along the coast of the city, on which are fishermen and a few demoralized, yellow-faced and thin soldiers, they are escaping from the dangerous cracks. The last small boat to dock was more than a month later, and there were only two people on it, if it weren't for the fact that they were wearing almost faded military uniforms and carrying identification certificates, I am afraid that no one would dare to believe that they were soldiers of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, but I don't know how they survived at sea for so long.

In the end, the political axe counted these soldiers who returned to the motherland after hardships and hardships, and there were less than 1,000 people, and a fraction of the Shanghai dispatch army was less, but the political axe still held a grand ceremony for them to welcome their return to the country, and praised them for not being afraid of hardships and dangers, and marching forward bravely, which can be regarded as putting some gold on the face of the failure of their Shanghai retreat.

The defeat of the Yue army in Shanghai and Nanjing announced the annihilation of the Central China Dispatch Army, and from then on, the big cake of Central China was far away from the capital.

After the end of the war in Central China, Wei Chendong asked his father-in-law, General Huang Keqiang, to lead an army of 200,000 troops from Jiangsu to the north to support the North China War of Resistance, and carried out a north-south flank attack on the army, most of the heavy weapons were taken away by Huang Keqiang.

The reason why Wei Chendong did not personally take part in the North China War was because there were still many important matters to deal with in Nanjing, especially Shanghai. First of all, there are a large number of prisoners of war from the Chinese army, and there are also some concessions by foreign forces, etc., which are intricate and cannot be dealt with, otherwise they will cause international division.

Wei Chendong first ordered some troops to strengthen the defense forces of various ports in Shanghai, carry out a complete blockade of several large ports, and then transfer a large number of materials and personnel from the northwest that had already been prepared. He wants to build warships, submarines, and aircraft carriers, and he knows that it is impossible for a country to go abroad without a navy, so when the army was first built, he did not leave the navy behind, and has been strengthening training in inland lakes such as Qinghai, and he also established several large docks in Qinghai Lake, trying to build some large ships, although it can't be opened, but the technology is always mastered, and now as long as there are enough manpower and materials, he can build a real navy at any time, this is his grand strategy, when you want to use it, you can quickly take out your hands, There is no need to temporarily cling to his feet, this is also the first point for the generals to obey him, and the overall situation is too well grasped.

Although Wei Chendong did not touch the concessions of various countries in Shanghai, he forced all concessions to agree, and all Chinese in the concessions enjoyed the same rights as foreigners; in order to implement this, he even directly sent troops to enforce the law; after all, some previous patrols and policemen have been oppressed by foreigners for a long time, and it is inevitable that some of them will not be able to let go of their hands and feet, and they can climb out of the pile of dead people, and the soldiers of the Yanhuang Army who have driven away themselves cannot manage so much.

This move caused strong opposition from the consuls of various countries, who did not agree with the Chinese to enforce the law, while Yan Huangjun said that the concession land was only leased by China to various countries, just like renting a house, although the house was temporarily rented to you, it does not mean that I don't care, what if you mess them up? What to do if you smash him? I don't care who is in charge of the landlord, and now after the war, this concession is even more chaotic, and foreigners obviously can't manage it, Yan Huangjun said that he no longer trusts it, and for the safety of the lives and property of Chinese people, he must manage it himself.

So, with Wei Chendong's consent, the first batch of thousands of Yanhuang troops entered the concession to forcibly enforce the law, and at this time the full power to enforce the law was Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Cheng, and he was Liu Yutian's henchman at the beginning, and later with Liu Yutian went to Gansu, Liu Yutian continued to engage in business, and with the protection of the Yanhuang Army, there is no need to worry about safety, so he joined the Yanhuang Army, this time he also attacked Nanjing and Shanghai with the army, Wei Chendong knew that he had been in the Shanghai Concession for many years, and knew the situation well, and felt that there was no one more suitable for this job than him, so he was sent to take charge of the most complicated concession.

At first, some foreign expatriates really did not believe that the Chinese dared to ignore them, so they continued to show off their military might, but as a result, they were caught and sentenced, regardless of whether you were British or American.

This kind of Yan and Huang Army naturally made the concessions very dissatisfied, and they united to put pressure on the Yan and Huang Army, and even sent troops to intervene, Xiao Cheng did not dare to act arbitrarily, and immediately reacted the situation to Wei Chendong.

And Wei Chendong only replied to him with one sentence, "Enforce the law fairly, and anyone who violates rules and disciplines should be punished." He particularly emphasized the word "any", Xiao Cheng naturally understood what it meant, immediately strengthened the number of troops enforcing the law, and asked each soldier to be armed with guns and ammunition and be ready to fight at any time, and even sent dozens of tanks to be stationed around to show determination.

Feeling the determination of the Yan and Huang Army, the countries did not dare to move casually, and temporarily endured it.

Xiao Cheng also issued a notice in various concessions, saying that these concession areas are mixed with fish and dragons, and are the most chaotic areas in Shanghai, and in order to restore a harmonious and safe living environment for citizens, law enforcement must be strict, so law enforcement has been strengthened, and some foreigners have gradually discovered that the Yan Huangjun seems to be staring at them, as long as they break the law, within a few minutes, someone will come and take them away, even if it is small enough to say something insulting to the Chinese, they will be charged with discrimination, at least fined.

"This Wei Chendong is going to attack us, he is deliberately creating friction in order to find an excuse to send troops to the concession, but now he is on their side, we can't be rash", some foreign consuls also discovered Wei Chendong's intentions, but it is not good to openly force the reason, this Wei Chendong is not as good as the national political axe, it is on fire, people are furious, hundreds of thousands of troops can be sent at any time, in this Asia, at the moment, except for himself, I am afraid that no force dares to face the Chinese war directly.

After some thought, these consuls conspired together and also thought of a way to learn from the Yan and Huang military forces to enforce the law, and the Yan and Huang troops focused on foreigners and they focused on Chinese.

One day, several British soldiers arrested a few more Chinese, took them to the police station, and beat them up, but not long after, hundreds of Yan and Huang soldiers drove over, directly without saying a word, rushed into the police station and tied up these British soldiers.

The British authorities were furious and angrily denounced the Yan and Huang Army for knowing the law and breaking the law, and the Yan and Huang Army publicly stated that among the several people captured by the British army, one of them was the Yan and Huang Army in plainclothes law enforcement, and the British army arrested people and beat them up for no reason and seriously injured them, this is the real knowledge of the law and the violation of the law, according to the law, the crime of knowing the law and breaking the law is increased by one degree, and these people were directly dragged out and shot, and then the matter will be big, when did the British Empire receive this kind of anger, and immediately reorganized the army to prepare to trouble the Yan and Huang Army.

Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Cheng is also under the acquiescence of Wei Chendong, the whole army is ready to fight at any time, and the Yan and Huang armies in other aspects of Shanghai are also secretly mobilized, as long as the British army dares to act rashly, they can guarantee that it will be finished within half a day, because in Shanghai now, the Yan and Huang armies have the final say.

After enjoying the low-brow flattery of the national political axe, the British Empire naturally looked at the sudden strength of the Yan and Huang Army, and finally did not swallow this breath, and also sent hundreds of troops directly to the Yan and Huang Army camp, shouting to catch the Yan and Huang Army who shot the British soldiers, but they were immediately surrounded by the Yan and Huang Army several times their size, dozens of machine guns and more than a dozen tanks surrounded them, Xiao Cheng arrested all these British troops on the grounds of the British army's serious provocation to the Yan and Huang Army, and then quickly sent troops to the British Concession, and even surrounded the British office building, and issued a deportation order against the British consul.
