Chapter 89: Northeast Negotiations (4)
In the next few days, Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Zuolin were all arguing, and a little bit of something could be pulled for a long time, which made Tang Shaoyi very depressed, feeling more tired than negotiating with the UK, and he wanted to end this negotiation as much as possible.
On the evening of December 27, Tang Shaoyi was invited to a banquet held by Zhang Zuolin, Zhao Erxun and Xu Lanzhou, and this banquet invited a large number of powerful landlords and tyrants in the three eastern provinces, as well as a cadre of military officers and some businessmen from Japan and Russia, which can be said to be a grand banquet, and the banquet will be held for three nights, during which you can negotiate business mediation conflicts or something, the purpose is to strengthen the cohesion of the Northeast, unite with the outside world, and also take the opportunity to suppress the Chinese representatives and the people of Japan and Russia. More importantly, it is important to show these people that the Northeast is in their hands, and they have the final say in the peace.
Tang Shaoyi took a group of Huaxia representatives to the backyard of the Northeast government, and the banquet was held in the backyard, and when he entered, he was frightened by the colorful lights, even if Yuan Shikai in Beijing had not had these things, he felt like he had come to another world. There are a lot of tables in the banquet, there are all kinds of wine on the table, red wine, wine, white wine, etc., there is also a lot of food, everyone is talking and laughing about something, the waiter is constantly adding food and wine back and forth, and then look at the clothes of those people, the younger ones are basically suits or skirts, the older generation is wearing Manchu period coats, and there are some people dressed in military costumes fighting wine, as for those foreigners and Japanese are slowly sipping wine on the side.
Although Tang Shaoyi and the others were frightened by this scene, they quickly recovered, and as soon as they entered the door of the banquet in Tang costumes, they attracted the attention of the audience. As for why they wore Tang costumes instead of suits or coats, because this was Qin Yu's order, diplomats should wear Tang costumes when conducting diplomacy, and officials of the Chinese government should also wear Tang costumes when they appear in some important meetings or meet foreigners, and the government has specially tailored two sets of Tang costumes for each official for free, and wearing Tang costumes has become a major feature of the Chinese government.
The whole audience was paying attention to the representatives of the Huaxia government, they looked at Tang Shaoyi and others very hotly, the current Huaxia government is the overlord of China, it can sweep the provinces in the Guannai, defeat the British army, and expand the territory. As for those who have already taken refuge in Japan and Russia, they are wondering whether China will really attack Northeast China, whether Japan and Russia will be able to rescue them in time, and how China will deal with them if they master Northeast China.
Zhang Zuolin personally went to greet Tang Shaoyi and others, which made everyone present stunned, but after thinking about it for a while, they didn't feel anything, after all, they were also representatives of the Huaxia government, and they should be given relative treatment.
"Brother Shaochuan, this is my brother who worships my son, this is my adjutant and division commander Wu Junsheng, this is my son Shuangxi, Shuangxi is called uncle." Zhang Zuolin pointed to Zhang Zuoxiang and Wu Junsheng and Shuangxi who were playing on the ground.
"Hello uncle."
"Hello Minister Tang, I have admired the name for a long time, your negotiations with the British are really very pleasant, and I am contemptible and admirable." Wu Junsheng said as he stretched out his hand to Tang Shaoyi to shake hands.
When Tang Shaoyi saw this, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Wu Junsheng's hand and said: "General Wu sabotaged the intention of some Manchu elements to split Manchu and Mongolia a few months ago, and the chairman also specially explained that I want to thank the general when I see it. ”
"Minister Tang hasn't seen you for a long time, how are you doing in Guannei? I didn't think that you had become the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China in less than a year, and I really envy my dead brother. Zhang Zuoxiang joked, he didn't expect Zhang Zuoxiang and Tang Shaoyi to be old acquaintances.
"Fu Chen, don't laugh, it's better for you and me to swap positions, I also want to be the division commander, I'm doing well, I've been dealing with foreigners recently, you also know that the problem of the concession has made me busy, and I feel more fulfilling than in Beiyang."
Then Tang Shaoyi introduced his subordinates, Zhang Zuolin also took him everywhere to toast others or something, in short, it was a few words back and forth, even if someone asked about the Huaxia government, he just smiled, and the Japanese asked him very angry.
"Mr. Tang, if the negotiation fails, will you invade the Northeast?" A Japanese man in a suit suddenly asked, and the voices around him gradually quieted down.
"Sir, please allow me to correct it, the word invasion does not work on us, the Northeast has been our Chinese territory since ancient times, where did the invasion come from, please don't divide the Northeast of our country with a casual sentence, it will seem that you don't know history and geography. I would like to reiterate once again that the territory of China in the Northeast is always the case, and the fate of the split can be referred to the fate of the Tibetan rebels, and all of you present here must remember that you are a member of the great Chinese nation. Tang Shaoyi said very sternly.
"Now the Northeast has its own government, and our Imperial Japanese Empire has recognized the legitimacy of the Northeast government, so the Northeast is an independent place, and your Chinese government's attack on the Northeast is an invasion." The governor of the Kanto Prefecture, Fukushima Yasumasa, said leisurely.
"Now most countries in the world have recognized our Chinese government, and the Northeast government is only a local government, and you Japan are splitting our China, and the Northeast will always be the territory of China."
Fukushima Yasumasa wanted to say something, but Kawashima Nanisu next to him pulled him and signaled him not to say any more, while the Russians next to him were watching the joke, originally they wanted to say the same, but Japan was ahead of them, and they were also happy to watch the Japanese make the first bird, and sure enough, they were fiercely refuted by the people of the Chinese government.
After the Japanese made trouble, Tang Shaoyi had no intention of staying, and after chatting with some people for a while, Tang Shaoyi rushed back with his teammates to the foothold, Zhang Zuolin and others, who were discussing happily with a group of people, did not notice that Tang Shaoyi and others had withdrawn from the banquet, only Kawashima Naniwa, who had been paying attention to Tang Shaoyi and others, noticed.
Kawashima Naniwa followed closely behind Tang Shaoyi and them, and after watching them get into the car, he gestured to the rickshaw driver opposite, and the driver immediately pulled the rickshaw into an alley.
"Minister Tang, just now at the banquet, there was a Japanese man who has been paying attention to your every move, intentionally or unintentionally, when we got into the car just now, I saw him coming out from the rear mirror, so for your safety, please take off your clothes, I will pretend to be you
, please cooperate. A colleague of Tang Shaoyi said. Several of the team Tang Shaoyi brought this time were soldiers from the special forces of the National Defense Forces, and their task was to ensure Tang Shaoyi's safety and prevent them from being assassinated and causing a big war.
Tang Shaoyi was also shocked when he heard this, could it be that the Japanese wanted to attack themselves, this should not be, they were not afraid that Huaxia would attack the Northeast in anger? Could it be that the Japanese are ready to go to war with China, this is unreasonable? Although he thought so, he still took off his clothes and exchanged with this soldier, if he himself had an accident in the northeast, he could not say that he would lead the Sino-Japanese war to be carried out in advance.
The car was driving slowly on the streets of Jilin, and Tang Shaoyi in the car had already changed his clothes, Tang Shaoyi said: "Wait a minute, you have to be careful, as many people come to the Northeast as many people go back." ”
"Yes, sir, I'll protect myself, I'm fine, don't worry."
Tang Shaoyi nodded and didn't speak, the place where they settled was not very far from the Northeast government, and it took ten minutes to drive, and there were really many more people at the door of the foothold, some were buying and selling, and some were bargaining, it seemed to be true at first glance, but the abnormal number of people made Tang Shaoyi and them very vigilant.
"Tang Shaoyi" As soon as they got out of the car, there was a sudden chaos, a group of hawkers shouted to catch the thief, a thin boy was frantically running away towards the car, "Tang Shaoyi" sped up the speed of entering the gate, and the representative of Huaxia who did it also looked at the thief in front of him vigilantly. The thief stopped suddenly, he took out a gun from his waist and shot at "Tang Shaoyi", but the shot did not hit, and the special forces guards of the Huaxia representative shot him in the head after the thief fired a shot, and the vendors behind immediately became confused, and several hawkers took guns to shoot at the "Tang Shaoyi" of the Huaxia representative, and some even shot at the rest of the representatives. "Bang...... Bang ......" gunshots continued to ring, in order to protect the representatives, the special forces in Huaxia also counterattacked, and the Northeast soldiers at the foothold immediately ran out to shoot back at those gunmen after hearing it, and these gunmen were killed after a while.
"Tang Shaoyi" and a group of Huaxia representatives entered the foothold, the soldiers of the Northeast Army were constantly vigilant all around, and suddenly a soldier fired a shot at the walking "Tang Shaoyi", "Tang Shaoyi" was hit and fell to the ground, the Huaxia representatives went crazy to protect the "Tang Shaoyi" on the ground, the special forces immediately launched a counterattack after the soldier shot, he just disabled the soldier's hand with the gun, and the nearby Northeast soldiers looked at the soldiers on the ground in disbelief, and there were their own people to attack the Huaxia representatives, What's going on? But soon they reacted, and a person who looked like a captain shouted: "Hurry up and arrest him, and send Minister Tang to the hospital quickly, hurry!" ”
The nearby soldiers caught the assassin on the ground, but as soon as he caught the assassin, he vomited black blood and rolled his eyes and died, which made the opponent very angry, and the representative of Huaxia had already sent the person to the car, and they pulled a northeastern soldier to lead the way and went to the hospital on a rampage.
"Quick, let me control this soldier's family, I can't let anyone go, and hurry up and inform the metropolitan governor of them, we are dead, who did the son of a bitch." The captain shouted as he looked up to the sky.
