Zhang Xueliang's face was cloudy, Chen Zikun was calm, Cai and Senyun were light, and Zheng Zeru was very vigilant, but Tang Yan was in a hurry.

**After all, it is a shady organization, they only have a legal survival soil in the south, this organization with the responsibility of eradicating warlords reported to their families in front of Zhang Xueliang, isn't it looking for death, the biggest warlord in the country is Feng Zhang, the young marshal is young and vigorous, and it is possible for Cai Zheng and the two to be killed if they are unhappy.

Tang Yan is a reporter in the end, she has seen a lot of big scenes, and she would have been stupid if she changed to another woman, but she said very toughly: "This is my ward, and those who come to see me are friends, so don't quarrel." ”

Chen Zikun couldn't help but wonder, how can major military affairs be replaced by a fluttering quarrel, the ban is the most positive thing in the Feng department, and I am afraid that this matter will not be good today.

But Zhang Xueliang was silent for a while and smiled: "Interesting, I haven't made ** friends yet." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere finally eased, but Zhang Xueliang suddenly said again: "I advise you to settle down, and protest to the powers that I don't object, but if you try to subvert the government, ......"

Cai Hesen was not afraid: "How is it?" ”

"I have an army of 100,000 and I can destroy you at any time." Zhang Xueliang's eyes flashed with a fierce color.

Cai Hesen said: "Our Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions has 500,000 good heads, and if your army does not deal with the foreign army, it can take us under the knife." ”

Zhang Xueliang was speechless for a while.

Cai Hesen got up and said, "Reporter Tang, you can rest, let's go back." When he walked by Zhang Xueliang's side, he said: "General Zhang, I believe you will have many ** friends in the future." ”

Zhang Xueliang wanted to have a seizure, but he couldn't help it, watched Cai Zheng leave, nodded and said, "These people are good men." ”

Chen Zikun said: "The anger of the horseman, blood spattered in five steps, and 500,000 Shanghai workers were mobilized, but it is a big force, and they should have confidence, not to mention them, we are here to visit the heroine." ”

A flush appeared on Tang Yan's pale face: "Chen Dashuai, you are the hero, you are the first person to say no to the powers." ”

Chen Zikun said with a smile: "This is wrong, there is no shortage of patriots among us, Feng Yuxiang in the north, and Zhang Xueliang in front of you, are all Chinese people who dare to show their swords to the powers, and the 100,000 squadrons have driven to the periphery of Shanghai to exert military pressure on the powers, which is all the credit of Han Qing." ”

Tang Yan said: "I've been on the sickbed for a long time, and I don't know much about things outside, I'm sorry, General Zhang, you are also a true hero." ”

He said that the British Consulate held a party in the evening, inviting himself and Chen Zikun to participate, and everyone discussed the final solution to the May Day tragedy in a relaxed and happy environment.

"The British succumbed to our armed demonstrations, Brother Kunwu is so right, the great powers only respect their own kind with fangs, we show our teeth, they retreat, this victory, can go down in history." Zhang Xueliang said confidently.

In the corridor, Cai Hesen and Zheng Zeru were on their backs under the vicious gaze of the sorghum stalks, and left quickly, Zheng Zeru let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's so dangerous, I almost angered the warlord just now." ”

Cai Hesen said: "The warlords are also Chinese, when necessary, they can be united, Xiao Zheng, you have to remember that the method of struggle is not static, our strength is still very weak, we need to integrate all resources and forces for our use, for our revolutionary cause, such as the hooligans on the beach, such as newspaper editors and reporters, such as warlords, and so on." ”

Zheng Zeru nodded vigorously: "Commissioner Cai, I remember." ”

……

The British Consulate General in Shanghai is located at the confluence of Suzhou Creek and Huangpu River, covering an area of more than 100 acres, is an H-shaped brick and wood structure two-storey building, European style plus Chinese style butterfly small green tiles, extremely wide courtyard, green grass, beautiful atmosphere, has a history of more than 50 years.

Tonight, the Consulate was brightly lit and full of guests. Sir Baldwin hosted a banquet for diplomats and celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai, and at 7 p.m., the Consulate's parking lot was empty and full of limousines.

U.S. Consul Henry. Fernandez stood side by side with Sir Baldwin on the second floor of the Consulate Banquet Hall with a glass of red wine, looking at the bustling guests below, and said with a smile: "The Chinese are really right, during the day they are still clamoring to take back the concession and abolish the treaty, and at night they talk and laugh at the consulate, as if nothing has happened." ”

Sir Baldwin shrugged: "Henry, they are different from those coolies, they need to think about more things, more comprehensive, they know very well that the prosperity of Shanghai and their wealth are inseparable from the concession, if the concession is taken back by the Chinese the day before, the next day it will become a paradise full of garbage, robbery, murder and kidnapping, they are even more worried than us." ”

Fernández said: "What you said is not bad at all, the propertied class and our interests are one, they just want to take advantage of this unfortunate incident to make some trouble for themselves, the Chinese are always cunning, thinking about seeing the needle everywhere, oh, who do you see that?" ”

An elderly Chinese walked up the stairs with a smile on his face, the staircase made of tropical hardwood was waxed and smooth, and the Chinese's horse coat and robe were equally neat.

"Dear Mr. Yu Qiaqing, how are you?" Sir Baldwin reserved stretched out his right hand, "Let me introduce you, this is the newly appointed U.S. Consul General in Shanghai." ”

Yu Qiaqing said with a smile: "Henry and I are old acquaintances, Your Excellency the two consul generals, I respect you." He raised his wine glass.

The two consuls politely exchanged a few polite words with Yu Qiaqing, and after some marginal words, the Chinese business leader went downstairs with a smile.

"Look, the Chinese are always so vain, and this Mr. Yu must be boasting about how close his relationship with the Anglo-American consuls is." Fernandez looked at Yu Qiaqing, who was surrounded by everyone downstairs, with a mocking face.

Sir Baldwin said: "But no, they always like to say that they know so-and-so, and they are proud of it, as if knowing one or two consuls can be above other Chinese, but this Mr. Yu Qiaqing is a relatively sober mind among Chinese, and the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce under his leadership has promised to open the market." ”

"Eric, how did you do that?" Fernández Wonder.

"It's very simple, I have their lives in my hands, Shanghai's electricity, running water, and even security are in the hands of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, as long as I cut off the water and electricity, their enterprises will not be able to start." Baldwin said with a blank face.

"In this way, Yu Qiaqing is indeed a person who understands current affairs, unlike the reckless General Chen, who actually sent troops to provoke the concession authorities." Fernández said.

"No, no, no." Baldwin corrected, "Victor. Chen is smarter than Yu Qiaqing, this is not the first time we have dealt with him, we have a clear knowledge and understanding of this general who is often in the newspapers, and the consulate even has a team of Chinese intellectuals led by the British, specializing in the study of Victor Chen's strange behavior. ”

Fernandez's eyes widened and he looked very interested, and this humble look of advice made Sir Baldwin very satisfied.

After analysis, the team came to a conclusion that Chen Zikun was different from Feng Yuxiang, a general with a hazy anti-imperialist consciousness in the north, he was born in a foreign school, was a rare senior intellectual in the military circles, and a friend of the civilized world, and he was measured and full of wisdom in his work, which was fully reflected in his dealings with other warlords and opium dealers in Shanghai.

The concession authorities have reason to believe that Chen Zikun will not really send troops to attack the concession, and that he is just showing off his force to gain fame.

Therefore, although the situation in Shanghai is tense, in general, the expatriates in the West are not very afraid, we have rich experience and tricks in dealing with the Chinese, not only can easily settle Chen Zikun, but also can smoothly solve Duan Qirui and Zhang Zuolin, as for the playboy Zhang Shaoshuai, it is not in the scope of consideration. ”

Fernández already knew what was going to happen from the diplomatic documents, and he shook the red wine in his glass and said, "Let's wait and see." ”

Two German Mercedes cars slowly drove into the British Consulate one after the other, with the general's flag on the front of the car and the majestic guards standing on the pedals.

The Chinese small man of the consulate stepped forward and opened the car door, and the two generals got out of the car, both dressed in uniforms, there are rules in the concession, and Chinese people are not allowed to wear military uniforms to enter, this time it is regarded as setting a precedent, and the Chinese present can't help but raise their eyebrows.

The two young generals wore white summer Verding uniforms, no armed belts, medals on their chests, white gloves, sonorous swords, handsome and dashing, even those Western ladies and ladies couldn't help but be amazed, the Chinese could not be born so heroic.

The two looked at each other and smiled, both proud, this time to be able to enter the concession with the guards, it is a progress for the Chinese **, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but admire Chen Zikun even more, if he hadn't resolutely decided to exert pressure by force, foreigners would not have succumbed so easily.

The general entered the large living room, and there was applause in all directions, this party was mainly Chinese, including many famous ladies and noblewomen, and the third miss of the Song family was actually among them, this time she was also standing far away, holding a glass of champagne in her hand, and raised it towards the two, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Zhang Xueliang said with a smile: "Brother Kunwu, Song San is congratulating our diplomatic victory." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's too early to say victory at this time. ”

The British and American consuls stepped forward to greet the two Chinese generals together, shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, and then talked about the May Day issue, Zhang Xueliang said: "Our position will not change, we must release the workers, compensate for the losses, apologize and punish those responsible, give preferential treatment to the workers, and prevent similar incidents from happening." While saying righteously, he glanced at Song Meiling from the corner of his eye.

Sir Edwin smiled, "What else? ”

Zhang Xueliang was actually copying the solution of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was not thinking about it, and he couldn't memorize it completely, but fortunately, Chen Zikun rescued the scene in time, and said: "There is also the resumption of the trial of the public party, stop crossing the border to build roads, give the Chinese Ministry of Labor Bureau the right to vote according to the amount of taxes, ensure that the Chinese have freedom of assembly, speech and publication, remove the responsible general secretary of the Ministry of Industry Bureau, patrol the concession, disarm the merchant group, withdraw the marines to their own country, and come up with a timetable for returning the concession to China." ”

In fact, everyone also understands that the conditions are mainly the previous ones, as for the surrender of the weapons of the patrol merchant group, the withdrawal of troops, and the requirements for recovering the concession, they are all just sky-high prices.

Sir Baldwin smiled, and Chan sensed a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something important to announce." Sir Baldwin shouted.

The hall fell silent, and the richly dressed people listened to the British Consul General with wine glasses.

"Our diplomats and their counterparts in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing had an unreserved exchange of views and a frank dialogue, and finally reached a consensus, and the unpleasant matter can finally be ended." Baldwin said loudly.

There was silence, the news was too sudden, the army was still pressing, how could it be over, Zhang Xueliang was even more confused, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had no right to make its own decisions, such a big matter, Duan Qirui and his father had to make up their minds, why didn't they hear any rumors, the negotiations were over, and they still planned to show their skills, and argue with the British.

"May I ask Your Excellency, what consensus has been reached?" Chan asked.

Sir Baldwin was surprised: "General Chen, don't you know, I want to ask you to make an announcement." ”

Chen Zikun knew that he had been tricked, and the British man's expression was as smug as the cat that had stolen a canary, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll make an announcement." Sir Baldwin cleared his throat and said, "We will remove the person responsible for the incident, Chief Inspector Mai Gaoyun, and the head catcher Ai Fusheng, and the Chinese side will take back the trial office, establish the Shanghai Martial Law Command, dissolve the General Labor Union, and ban the incitement to strike." ”

Everyone looked at each other, this condition came bizarrely, more than a dozen lives were killed, the British side just dismissed the two patrolmen, maybe another appointment will be made in a few days, what kind of punishment is this? The Chinese side only took back a useless trial office, and in turn, it had to cooperate with the British side to ban the strike, and join forces with the army to suppress the border, not to help the workers and students, but to help foreigners suppress their own people.

Sir Baldwin looked at Chen Zikun and Zhang Xueliang with disdain, and said, "The two generals are out of company. Turning away, he waved his hand at the band: "Play music, be cheerful." ”

Important Notice (Readers' Must See)

In fact, it is quite difficult to say, because "Warriors of the Kingdom" is going to be put on the shelves for paid reading, which is not a happy thing for the majority of readers.

This notice was issued on the website a few days ago.,I've been thinking about how to tell you.,After all, more than two million words in the orange and red era are free.,More than one million words in front of the national warriors are also free.,And give everyone a feeling that it will continue to be free.,Suddenly on the shelves.,It seems to have a sense of deceiving readers.。

This time the shelves are full-range, not only the country's warriors, but also many books, including the lost leaves of the online game of the world's unparalleled, Ye Zi notified the readers a few days ago, and was scolded by the fans, and even rose to the height of morality and soul, saying that Ye Zi betrayed his readers for a few stinky money, and as a fan, he felt a chill to the bone.

To be honest, this reaction worries me, I'm afraid of a similar situation, but if you think about it, as an author, it doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, and the article that I wrote with great effort is a thousand words for three cents, and it is nine cents for reading a chapter, less than a dime, and it costs a dime to send a message, and the author sits in front of the computer and thinks about it for a few hours, and goes to great lengths to please you, so I pay nine cents, which is really not expensive.

Don't complain about the website, the website is a commercial profit-making organization, not a county cultural center, a library, free reading, to promote culture, it is to make money, it is to feed hundreds of employees, pay electricity bills, rent servers, and bear the author's remuneration, and the remuneration should not be borne by the readers?

I think, the website is like a teahouse, the author is like a storyteller, the website invited a few of us to tell the story of the artist, free to tell you jokes, rain or shine, just to earn a shout, what is the picture, the picture is the traffic, the teahouse uses the free storytelling drum to attract customers, sit down and chat and brag, drink tea, look at other paid books, happy to take silver to smash their favorite authors, this kind of behavior is left in the old society, called "holding the horn", is the favorite thing for the men who take advantage of the money in Beijing.

So, the flow of people in the teahouse gradually increased, but the boss took stock and found that although there were many guests, they didn't drink tea or eat melon seeds after coming in, nor did they chat and brag, and they didn't spend money on the horns. ”

No one will do a loss-making business, it will go bankrupt after a long time, it doesn't matter if the teahouse goes bankrupt, those of us who rely on storytelling and selling art for a living have to go hungry, readers want to listen to books again, and there is no place, even if you look at pirated books, you can't find the link, why, the genuine version is gone, where is there still piracy.

To put it bluntly, the author of the online article is the most pitiful group of people in the world, just like the storytelling in the old society, every day to be busy for a bite of chewing grain, we have no holidays, 365 days are working days, there is nothing else in the mind, only the plot and updates, which day the update is not timely, the heart is full of guilt, as if in debt, the shelf must work hard to update, add more! Explosion! I can't wait to burst all the tubes in my lungs. When the free book is ready to be put on the shelves, you have to be careful to accompany it, begging readers not to be surprised, not to be mad, and not to be angry with us.

As a junior author, his eyes are on himself, since it is a buyout, it doesn't matter, it is best not to put it on the shelf, it can earn popularity and attract more readers; But as a middle-level author, I think about the long-term, and I will take into account the development of the website. What if it goes out of business? I'm not bad at mixing on this site, and I went to another website to send people to start over, how did I live? Higher-end authors think more, will think of the fate of the entire industry, paid reading is the core business of the book station, the book station is not a forum, not Baidu post bar, not a personal blog, it must have a business that can support itself in order to survive, everyone does not pay to read books, the industry is over, everyone has no books to read, I have to go to Xinhua Bookstore to stand and read the traditional writer's life philosophy and fate frustration of the bitter novels, but also to eat the salesman's eyes.

I have always believed that there are two kinds of readers, one is readers, one is friends, some of my readers are from the Iron Age, more are looking for the orange age to come over, to say a word of immodesty, I think what my book wants to express, and most YY books are still different, I like to read the brothers and sisters of the orange and red age, maybe we have not intersected, and even you have not even sent a book review, but I know that when you see a detail in my book and smile, we are connected deep in our hearts, We became friends, not simply author-reader.

Friends who have read books with me for a few years know that I basically never ask you for support that requires money to pay for PK VIP subscriptions, at most ask for a collection and flowers, that's because I treat everyone as a friend, you like what I write, this is fate, I feel sorry to collect your money.

But the reality is so, readers are friends, the website is a food and clothing parent, the operation of the website, as the core author of course, to support it, so I hope you can support it, I am very slow, a month is more than 30 chapters to 45 chapters, synthesized RMB three or four yuan, in fact, anyone can afford this money, but it is just troublesome, and it is online banking and Alipay, the egg hurts, Lao Tzu flicked the mouse, and the page is full of ready-made piracy.

Well, if you watch pirated copies, please go and see them silently, there are many people who listen to free books in the teahouse, those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field, there is a charge here, you don't just scold, a little money hurts the harmony, it's not worth it.

Besides, the book of Guoshi Wushuang, it can be said that I have poured a huge amount of energy, he is not a cross-air network novel, but a "most real pseudo-history", through the overhead has been written badly, the history has been worn with a thousand holes, the subject matter is exhausted, you can know the back after reading the beginning, as an ordinary author, just follow the trend, but as an author who is still a little ambitious, a little idea, you have to dig out your mind to change, Guoshi Wushuang is an innovation, I hope to let readers who read him, have a new understanding of modern history, Instead of yy finishing and forgetting about it all, in other words, I hope you didn't spend a chapter of nine cents in vain.

However, everyone has also seen that the results of this book are unsatisfactory, compared with those whimsical, all kinds of bizarre and absurd YY novels that happened in Huaxia, he is walking a tightrope, not only can't be fast, but also has to work hard to take care of the balance between logic and coolness, not to mention those political taboos, so, I'm not very optimistic about the subscription results after they are put on the shelves.

Anyway, it's going to be on the shelves in June, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, if the results are really bleak, then "Warriors of the Kingdom" may be my last work, the author of the online text, not the royal literati of the national co-ordination, if you don't subscribe, no matter how brilliant it was before, you have to be like the old boxer in O'Henry's pen, who was beaten by a newcomer and left the game miserably.

So, please support me!
