Zhu Wusheng opened the telegram and was shocked after reading only a few words, the Korean army was attacked by troops claiming to be Sun Liangcheng, chairman of Henan Province, and the Korean defenders on the front line of Heze and Dingtao retreated on all fronts, and according to reliable information, there were Japanese figures in the attacking troops.

"Could it be that the Japanese actually participated in the Battle of Lunan?"

At that time, the Japanese had a deterrent power far beyond other foreigners to the Chinese people, especially the people of a province like Shandong, where the Japanese power was deep-rooted, and there was also the Jinan tragedy in front of him, although Zhu Wusheng was the head of a county, and it was inevitable that the Japanese would be frightened, he didn't know where Wu Xiaoliang got this sensational telegram, but he knew that with the ability of the person in front of him, this telegram was very true.

"How is this good, let's help Zhang Zongchang or help Han Fuyu."

Wu Xiaoliang put away the telegram, he was no longer surprised that the Chinese people were afraid of foreigners like tigers, "County Magistrate Zhu thinks it is appropriate to help." ”

If the Japanese did not come in, it would be a very easy choice, and the one who sent troops to help the high price would be, but now he had to make a careful decision, if the telegram was true, Zhang Zongchang must have colluded with the Japanese, and helping him was tantamount to becoming an accomplice of the Japanese, and Han Fuyu's troops were attacked on both sides, and helping him was equivalent to being an enemy of the Japanese.

Zhu Wusheng thought for a while and replied with a red face: "I am humble and stupid, I really don't know who to help." ”

His answer was already expected by Wu Xiaoliang, not to mention Zhu Wusheng, a small county magistrate, even the commander-in-chief of Nanjing Jiang may not be able to have a good idea, but Wu Xiaoliang can't see the Japanese rampant under his nose, so his answer is very simple.

"Neighbor Sheng, the greater the power in your hands, the greater the responsibility on your shoulders, since I am the chairman of the province, I have to be responsible for the people of the province, how can I allow outsiders to put their beaks, save this principle, you tell me who we should help."

Zhu Wusheng's body was shocked, and according to his understanding, Chairman Wu's words did not see who he was going to help, but read the meaning of his preparation for war against the Japanese.

"It's difficult, isn't it, to fight the Japanese."

Wu Xiaoliang said: "It's not that I want to fight the Japanese, on the contrary, if we are bullied to the doorstep, it is naturally the Chinese who we want to help." ”

Zhu Wusheng's bean-sized beads of sweat crackled and rolled down on his head, and it was really unexpected for him to take the initiative to provoke the Orientals, in fact, he thought that the safest way was to wait and see what happened, neither side would help each other, and wait for the opportunity to snatch the fruits of victory after the situation was clear, but he found out from his contact with Wu Xiaoliang that this Chairman Wu could tolerate many things, but only one could not be tolerated, that is, the Japanese, and asked tentatively:

"The security brigade and student regiment outside Linzi City have not achieved combat strength, but I am afraid of ......" Zhu Wusheng wanted to speak and stopped, believing that Wu Xiaoliang would definitely be able to understand what he meant in Central China.

Wu Xiaoliang said with a smile: "Whoever said to help the Chinese must send troops." ”

"Ahh

Zhu Wusheng felt that he was a little unable to keep up with the train of thought, and how could he help the Chinese without sending troops.

On 25 October, Tianjin's "Ta Kung Pao" reported an extremely rare full-page report on an incident that once again provoked the nerves of the Chinese people, and the black mark on the front page headline was eye-catching and eye-catching, and the Japanese army brazenly attacked the defenders of Shandong, and attached several on-the-spot photos of Heze and other places, in which the Japanese army flaunted its might and drove into the small city, and there were corpses of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the National Revolutionary Army on the side of the road, and the viewers were all angry and wept.

When the news reached Beijing, students from all major colleges and universities suspended classes and marched on the streets one after another to protest against the Japanese undeclared war of aggression against China, and Nanjing, Wuhan, Shanghai, and other places, which heard the news a little later, also went on strike and marched one after another to protest against the Japanese army's aggression.

However, according to their intelligence, the Japanese army in Jinan was still staying in Jinan well, and it was Han Fuyu and Zhang Zongchang who were very happy to talk about a large-scale attack on the Shandong garrison, but in the face of the turbulent public opinion throughout the country, the Nationalist Government had to deal with it cautiously, and on the one hand sent people to appease the students and persuade them to return to school, and on the other hand sent people to Shandong in a hurry to investigate the matter.

The telegram of the Nanjing Nationalist Government was photographed in Linzi, and Zhu Wusheng said in his heart that Chairman Wu had played big enough, and even the central government was alarmed by a fake news, but he didn't know how to end it, so he hurriedly threw down the matter at hand and dared to go to the office of Wu Xiaoliang, the provincial capital of the next courtyard.

Wu Xiaoliang saw him enter the house in a panic, and said with a smile: "Why is Lin Sheng so flustered. ”

"The central government called to inquire about the war in Shandong, but I didn't know how to answer."

Zhu Wusheng's face was restless, for fear that the lie would be exposed and would have an adverse impact on the thriving shape of the Linzi Provincial Government.

"What the newspaper says, how you reply."

After receiving the instructions, Zhu Wusheng wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said in his heart that the secretary general of the provincial government would be killed if he had been in power for a long time.

After the establishment of the Shandong Security Command, Li Zejun was appointed deputy commander of the Shandong Security Command, specializing in training troops, and handing over the post of secretary general of the provincial government, which he was not good at, to Zhu Wusheng, the head of Linzi County.

The Japanese army's actions in Shandong not only caught the Nanjing Nationalist Government by surprise, but the Japanese minister to China, Kenzawa Yoshiyoshi, was also passive, he had already reached an understanding with the United States and Britain on the activities of the Japanese army in Jinan, and the United States and Britain acquiesced in their actions in Jinan, but at the same time issued a warning not to affect the rest of Shandong, Japan's blatant breach of the treaty, the United States and Britain were also extremely angry, and they protested to the Japanese government one after another.

Qianze Fangji himself did not know much about the actions of the Sixth Army in Shandong, so he immediately sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Fukuda Hikosuke, commander of the Sixth Division stationed in Jinan, to question him about the actions of the Sixth Army in Shandong, but the reply was that the Japanese army did pretend to be Sun Liangcheng's troops and secretly helped Zhang Zongchang's warlord troops, but they did not act in a blatant and fanfare as described in the newspapers, and they played more of a role in attacking fortified positions, while the troops that occupied the two cities of Heze and Dingtao on a large scale were the out-and-out Henan Army.

The truth of the matter turned out to be like this, Qian Ze Fangji couldn't cry or laugh, the original small actions of the 6th Army were infinitely amplified by the Zhi Na people, and now they are responding to the proverb of the Zhi Na, the yellow mud falls into the crotch of the pants, and it is not but.

It was reported that Wu Xiaoliang, chairman of Shandong Province, had sent a formal telegram to the central government in Nanjing, requesting that negotiations be made with the Japanese side on the matter of the Japanese garrison in Jinan, and that Japan was facing increasing international pressure, and Tanaka even recalled him to China for this matter and gave him a face-to-face lecture, and he had a premonition that under such an unfavorable situation, it was only a matter of time before he could withdraw his troops.

On 11 November, Qianze Fangji officially received a note from the Republic of China that the Nanjing Government had appointed Wu Xiaoliang, chairman of Shandong Province, as plenipotentiary for negotiations with Japan.
