After Tang Qiuli analyzed the current situation in the Malay Peninsula to Tang Qiusheng, all Tang Qiusheng's doubts were easily solved, and he said with a smile: "You still know Ito's thoughts, and now Ito can't wait to show all his sincerity to sue for peace, as long as we don't beat him, the day himself is really strange, by the way, division commander, are you planning to have a lion open." ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and replied: "Brother Qiusheng, this time, I don't plan to scrape down a lot of oil and water on the day himself, as far as Ito's vision is concerned, he has not yet done such a profound Taoism, it should be Hirohito's idea, he interpreted my intention not to kill Ito, although he knows that this is a conspiracy, but he is also willing to be fooled, the so-called negotiation is nothing more than to find out, the day himself, hum!" ”

Going on, Tang Qiuli didn't say anything, but Tang Qiusheng clearly saw the chill in his eyes, Tang Qiusheng thought about it for a while, and asked: "Commander, do you want to meet that Ito's personal representative, Mr. Qi Yuanshan, he has been waiting for you for more than ten days, when I saw him yesterday, I was very anxious, and it seemed that there was some psychological pressure." ”

Tang Qiuli thought for a moment and said, "It's time for the fire, Brother Qiusheng, let's go and meet that old Mr. Qi together" The two brothers wanted to follow, and arrived at Qi Yuanshan's residence, which was an independent villa, and the scenery in the courtyard was very elegant, it seemed that Brother Qiusheng did not take drastic actions because Qi Yuanshan was the identity of Ito's envoy.

In the living room of the villa, Qi Yuanshan was pacing back and forth restlessly, this is an old man in his sixties, the wind and frost of the years have left deep marks on his face and hair, gray hair, deep wrinkles on his face, not like most rich businessmen, with a shiny face and a big belly, but like a sailor who runs a ship all year round.

Looks very shrewd in the eyes. Showing an anxious look from time to time, for more than ten days, Qi Yuanshan has been under a lot of pressure, from the heart. He never wanted to be an envoy, especially for the day himself, although he was a businessman, but the national integrity in his bones had not been completely lost, but he had to take over this helpless errand.

When Ito found himself, he was very polite. But the cold light in the eyes of the general of the "Hichimoto" could not be concealed, and Ito at that time seemed very polite, and he was polite and polite, and he couldn't see it at all, he was an executioner with blood on his hands. Even if he was wearing a crisp suit, Qi Yuanshan could smell blood from Ito's body.

Ito bowed deeply. Then he said: "Mr. Qi, contemptible people know that you are the leader of the local Chinese and overseas Chinese in Singapore, and you are very prestigious. Mr. Qi can't deny it, right? ”

What can Qi Yuanshan say, he only nodded his head in agreement frequently, indeed, the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Singapore did not have the same experience as Yangon, this. Qi Yuanshan did not deny that Ito's face became more and more kind, and his smile looked very sincere.

He continued: "However, Ito, as a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, has repeatedly met with His Excellency General Tang Qiuli, and it is really a last resort, and today, on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Japanese Empire, I intend to negotiate with General Tang Qiuli and seek the possibility of mutual non-aggression between the two sides, so I ask Mr. Qi, as my special envoy, to go to Yangon to convey the sincerity of our Great Japanese Empire and bring a letter. ”

After Ito finished speaking, staring at Qi Yuanshan's reaction, behind the kind smile, was an order that could not be refused, Qi Yuanshan knew very well in his heart that if he refused this errand, waiting for himself and his family, it would be a disaster, this "day" himself is smiling beautifully now, but in the blink of an eye, he will become a demon king who kills people without blinking, and he has not heard of the experience of the Chinese in Yangon.

Qi Yuanshan almost didn't hesitate, and said: "Thanks to Mr. Ito, I can afford to hand over such an important task to the old man, and the old man will reluctantly make it difficult to go to Yangon" Ito seemed very happy, and praised Qi Yuanshan for being a friend of the Great Japanese Empire, and when he was about to go out, he ordered an officer to send guards to protect the safety of Mr. Qi's family.

I arrived in Yangon, but more than ten days passed, and Tang Qiu avoided it, although he was not treated harshly, but the crime of this traitor could not be inseparated, who knew that this Tang general, who was terrified of the day, would not be shot as a traitor? Also, for more than ten days, Ito, the "day" himself, didn't get a response, did he attack his family?

Qi Yuanshan was thinking nonsense, and the guard opened the door and came in, and said very politely: "Mr. Qi, our division commander and deputy division commander have come to see you!" Originally, he was anxiously looking forward to meeting Tang Qiuli, but once Tang Qiuli really came, Qi Yuanshan's heart became uneasy, he hurriedly got up, and outside the living room, two young generals came in.

Tang Qiusheng he knew and met several times, but another young general who was heroic, full of sunny smiles, and had the air of a superior was the first time he had seen it, Tang Qiusheng introduced: "Mr. Qi, this is General Tang Qiuli, the commander of our North China Independent Division, and this is Mr. Qi Yuanshan, Ito's special envoy. ”

As soon as Qi Yuanshan heard Tang Qiusheng's introduction, the muscles on his face shook unconsciously, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and said: "I have heard General Tang's name for a long time, but I just didn't have a chance to see it, and I declare that I am by no means a traitor, and this special envoy who serves as the day himself is also a last resort, it is really not what I want, and I also ask General Tang to learn from it!" ”

Tang Qiuli laughed heartily, took Qi Yuanshan's hand and said: "Mr. Qi doesn't have to be in a hurry to confess, I understand Mr. Qi's difficulties, please sit down" Qi Yuanshan put his heart back in his stomach, in his opinion, Tang Qiuli, who can make such a great reputation in the Indochina Peninsula, should be a ruthless and decisive person who does not hesitate to kill.

After sitting down, Tang Qiuli didn't say a word, and he didn't say anything, and he didn't want to kill him

These are all in Qi Yuanshan's eyes, with his more than sixty years of life experience, how can he not see Tang Qiuli's true thoughts, he is worried about the comfort of his compatriots, and his heart is moved, but he also has a layer of closeness to Tang Qiuli, and he speaks a lot more openly, after saying what Ito meant, he took out another letter, and then quietly waited for Tang Qiuli's answer.

Tang Qiuli casually threw the letter on the coffee table, and his answer was very simple, which simply surprised Qi Yuanshan, "Mr. Qi, you will make a hard trip, rush back to Singapore immediately, and tell Ito that I can negotiate with the Japanese himself, and the location will be set in Kuala Lumpur, and let Ito send someone of weight." ”

Qi Yuanshan hesitated and asked, "General Tang, don't you look at the letter from the [Day] himself?" Tang Qiuli smiled sarcastically and said: "Don't read it, anyway, it's the nonsense of the day himself, a waste of time, Ito must be in a hurry to sleep and eat now, the old gentleman goes back, no less than bringing great good news to Ito, if Ito wants to reward something, the old gentleman must not shirk, the things of the day himself, take peace of mind, get it calmly, and send the benefits to the door, don't do it in vain!" ”

Tang Qiusheng and Qi Yuanshan, both Tang Qiuli's words, amused by laughter, the atmosphere is extraordinarily relaxed, in the evening, Tang Qiuli set up a banquet to entertain Qi Yuanshan, during the banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, Tang Qiuli got a lot of useful information, the next day, Qi Yuanshan took Tang Qiuli's handwritten letter, returned to Singapore to resume his life.

As Tang Qiuli expected, in the past ten days, Qi Yuanshan has not heard from him, but Ito is in a hurry, there is no response to the stone asking for directions, Ito is not sure of Tang Qiuli's true intentions, and there are several telegrams a day in China, urging him to ask how the negotiations with Tang Qiuli are going, Ito is so anxious that he can't eat well, he can't sleep, and he looks forward to Qi Yuanshan's return every day.

Ito can't remember how long he hasn't been so eager to look forward to a person, and he is still a person, and when he was begging for a wife, he was not in such a hurry, and now, Qi Yuanshan finally came back, and brought good news, which made Ito's heart bloom, Tang Qiuli's attitude, finally clear, not only Singapore can be guaranteed, but also can complete the emperor's majesty's trust, isn't it a great achievement?

Ito was happy in his heart, in addition to setting up a banquet to entertain the meritorious person Qi Yuanshan, he also rewarded him with a large sum of money, praising Qi Yuanshan as a good friend of the Great Japanese Empire and a model of goodwill between Japan and China, and announced that he gave a special pass to Qi Yuanshan, a good friend of the Imperial Army, with special preferential treatment, and issued a special pass to Qi Yuanshan on the spot.

It is said that the people who got this pass were only three people in Singapore, two of them were still puppet heads of government, in a look of jealousy and envy, Qi Yuanshan took this special pass numbered No. 3, and smiled secretly in his stomach, "General Tang is really like a god, Ito is very generous, with this special pass, what should he be able to do for General Tang?" ”

After the banquet was dispersed, Ito also left Qi Yuanshan in particular, and inquired in detail about the meeting with Tang Qiuli, as well as some details such as Tang Qiuli's personality characteristics, and after sending Qi Yuanshan away, Ito sent a short telegram to China with a proud mood, "A preliminary agreement has been reached with Tang Qiuli, and negotiations will be carried out in the near future." ”

But when it came to going to Kuala Lumpur to negotiate candidates, Ito made a difficulty, all because of Tang Qiuli's words, "Send someone with weight." ”——
