Meng Enyuan is an old man in Beiyang, and he has followed Lao Yuan's side since he started training at a small station, but his career is different from others, not by relying on real achievements, but by relying on his small wit, he ascended to the sky in one step.

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Cixi inspected the new army of the small station, but accidentally dropped the hairpin on her head on the ground, which happened to let Meng Enyuan pick it up, after the inspection, Meng Enyuan knelt on the ground and said eight words: The phoenix hairpin landed and returned to Foshan!

After saying a word, Cixi was coaxed to be happy, and as a result, he rose all the way to the throne of one of the princes, and everyone still disdained him, and secretly called him the general of the hairpin.

Now the hairpin picker general is thundering, scolding his nephew Gao Shiwei, he is holding the telegram sent by Wu Tai'an in his hand, the green tendons in his hand are bursting up, his face is red, and he walks back and forth on the ground in a circle, neither standing nor sitting.

In the telegram, Wu Tai'an told Meng Enyuan what happened, and he didn't dare to hide it at all. His mind is still very clear, this time he is definitely in a big trouble, and even Meng Enyuan will have a problem.

Lao Meng carefully calculated the current situation, and found that Gao Shiwei made a person who was not a person inside and outside this time, intercepted the caravan in Fengtian, first offended Zhang Zuolin, who was in full swing, and smashed the Guo family's pot, which attracted the dissatisfaction of Guo Zongxi, the patrol envoy.

Moreover, the business circles of Jilin and Fengtian provinces will also be dissatisfied, after all, people's reasonable and legal transactions, you have no reason to detain, and your attitude is so arrogant, no one will be comfortable. In addition, they also cooperated with the Japanese and acted as thugs for the Japanese, and all circles in Jilin must be generally dissatisfied, not only Jilin but also Beijing.

In fact, even the Japanese were dissatisfied with Gao Shifu, mainly blaming his subordinates for their incompetence. The convoy and reporters were let go, and in addition, this batch of goods was transported from Tsarist Russia, and it is difficult to say whether the Russians would also intervene.

Thinking of this, Meng Enyuan was completely stunned, Gao Shiwei's actions offended everyone who could offend, there is no such bastard guy in this world, Meng Enyuan was completely confused, and he didn't know what to do.

Meng Enyuan was worried, and Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan, who were in Mukden, also got Changchun's report, and Jihua's implementation was perfect. not only played the Japanese, but also pretended Meng Enyuan to be involved, which is definitely killing two birds with one stone.

"Humble words, now it's time to close the net, you see what to do. Is it time to mobilize public opinion to put pressure on Japan and Meng Enyuan? ”

After Zhang Tinglan thought about it, he shook his head: "Handsome." We took the initiative. But you also have to think about how to make a move, and you can't waste a good hand. ”

"Let's be specific."

"Well, although the Japanese were deflated this time, if you think about it, the Japanese are not deeply involved. There were no casualties, and just impounding vehicles and moving troops at will could not do anything to the Japanese. ”

Zhang Tinglan was very helpless. But this is also a fact, the foreigners have been rampant on China's territory, and in many cases, they are unreasonable, injuring the Chinese military and civilians, and in turn, they are demanding that the Chinese government apologize for the daoqian, and this time there is no loss of personnel, if Mukden does not forgive, it is easy to provoke Japan.

"Once the bottom line of the Japanese is exceeded, their backlash is triggered, the trade with Russia in the Middle East is affected, and then the smuggling cause is jeopardized, we will lose more than we gain."

Zhang Zuolin nodded when he heard this, Zhang Tinglan said nothing wrong, in the final analysis, it was still the Shili of the Feng army who was weak, and he didn't dare to force the Japanese into a corner, otherwise the Japanese would be a scoundrel, and the Feng army would have no choice at that time.

"Humble words, you mean to focus the attack only on Meng Enyuan."

"That's right, he connived at Gao Shifu to do evil, at least it shows that he is not strict in management, and more importantly, he colludes with the Japanese and endangers the interests of Chinese businessmen, can such a groveling guy still serve as the commander of a province, public opinion will definitely be one-sided, forming a strong anti-Meng posture, and we can also take the opportunity to sue Beijing and let them remove Meng Enyuan."

Lao Zhang thought for a while, then slapped the table and said: "That's it, I'll go to find the lost field now, why should I let him give us an explanation." ”

Now to find the lost field, it is obvious that he is deliberately bullying people, and he is cheap and obedient, but Zhang Tinglan is also willing to see the embarrassment of the Japanese, so he went to the Japanese consulate with Lao Zhang.

At this time, the loss of land has been reported by Changchun, and nothing has been searched at all, and now he is disappointed, and he even faintly feels that he has been on Zhang Zuolin's time again, how many times he has dealt with him recently, it has not been smooth, this time it is like this, full of confidence, and as a result, a fist smashed on the cotton ball, and was also taken by others to get the handle, so it is announced, and the Japanese side will soon be disgraced again.

In fact, for the Japanese, it is very contradictory that they do not care about the opinions of the Chinese, and they cannot care about the opinions of the Chinese. China is poor and weak, and the government cannot threaten the Japanese, and a few scolding words are even more itchy in their boots; if they force the Japanese to be in a hurry, they can still turn around, pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and blackmail China.

However, there is one thing that the Japanese have to admit, that is, China is Japan's largest foreign market, and at the same time, it is also the largest producer of raw materials, and if the Chinese people are generally anti-Japanese and boycott Japanese products in large numbers, it will be a disaster for Japan.

If the Japanese want to reap economic benefits, they must maintain relative friendship with all circles of Chinese politics and business, instead of blindly confronting each other.

At this time, Lao Zhang took the initiative to get up to visit, and his eyes suddenly lit up, maybe the turning point was just around the corner, he invited Lao Zhang into the consulate and sat opposite.

Lao Zhang's face was gloomy, and he asked directly: "Mr. Losta, what are you looking for in Japan, Zhang asked you to find it casually, why bother to make a shadow and embarrass the businessman?" ”

Faced with Lao Zhang's questioning, he was speechless for a while, and said for a long time: "Zhang Dashuai, this is a misunderstanding, we got a report, saying that there are prohibited items, and we are in a responsible attitude to all parties, so we started to search." ”

"It's not a forbidden thing. I'm the one who forbids it. Lao Zhang directly punctured the lie of losing the field: "Zhang has said a long time ago that I am willing to be friends with the Japanese side and enhance our friendship, but there is a premise, that is, to ensure basic mutual respect, you have to leave me some face!" ”

Zhang Zuolin said it to this extent, as if it was a dagger quenched with poison, piercing the heart of the lost field, making him miserable, but he couldn't refute it. Whoever let them fail to catch them with real evidence, now they can only let Lao Zhang damage them.

Fortunately, he is a veteran politician, and he has been with Zhang Zuolin for a while, and he knows very well that Zhang Zuolin came over this time to find a step for both sides. Otherwise, Lao Zhang already has an advantage. You can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and there is no need to come over.

"Zhang Dashuai. Something has already come out. Let's think about a solution, so that both sides can accept it. ”

Zhang Zuolin nodded slightly: "This time, the seizure of the goods by the Xingshi cannot be without an explanation, someone must be responsible, otherwise there is no way to explain to the business community in Fengtian." ”

"Are you saying you want to hold Gao Shifu responsible?" Oda is also a smart person, since someone needs to take responsibility. In addition to Japan, there is only the dog-legged Gao Shifu.

"That's right, I can say hello to some Chinese newspapers and ask them to point the finger of public opinion at Meng Enyuan and Gao Shiwei. It is they who are doing evil, flying high, and causing trouble, and trying not to involve Japan as much as possible. In the future, the cooperation between the business community and Japanese businessmen in Fengtian will continue as usual, Zhang hopes that the Japanese side can maintain a certain degree of restraint, and if there are problems in the future, we can communicate and negotiate directly, so we don't have to fight black guns and stumble! ”

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, the heart of the lost field is also churning, this is indeed a way, although this time the Japanese bamboo basket is empty, but there is no great consequence, as long as no one is manipulating public opinion behind the scenes, it will not cause any harm to Japan at all.

And it's not impossible to let Gao Shifu carry the black cauldron, who let this guy be so stupid, otherwise the convoy and reporters will be detained all the time, and Japan can also make a frame-up, and it will not be so passive at all.

Lost Tian thought about it again and again, and then said: "This is indeed the most appropriate solution, but you must not make it too difficult for Meng Enyuan, and stop in moderation!" ”

An agreement was reached between him and Lost Field, and the Japanese were completely removed from it, and now they went to deal with Meng Enyuan and Gao Shifu, and the certainty was even greater, Lao Zhang was still very satisfied, but he still scolded in his mouth: "Damn, the Japanese little devil bullied us and wanted to yin us, but he had to raise it high and let them go, it's really frustrating!" ”

"Seventh master, don't be angry, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on this time, Gao Shiwei is completely an abandoned son of the Japanese, as long as we clean them up more badly, the more we can deter others, let those officials and military leaders think about it, what will happen if you cooperate with the Japanese, without the cooperation of these guys who have forgotten their ancestors, the Japanese will not want to run amok."

The so-called rabbit dead dog cooking, things hurt its kind. You can use Gao Shifu as an example and let everyone see what happens when you mix with the Japanese!

"Well, there is also such a saying, you can handle the rest of the things well, you must let Meng Enyuan be swept away, there is no way to mix in Jilin."

After these behind-the-scenes deals were implemented, the newspapers in Mukden and Jilin all reported on the incident in a concentrated manner, and most of the Chinese newspapers, intentionally or unintentionally, avoided the Japanese problem and focused their firepower on the inner ghosts, while some Western newspapers reported on the process more objectively, sneering at the Japanese, believing that this was a criminal evidence that Japan was expanding their interests and wanted to monopolize the commerce of the three eastern provinces.

All in all, public opinion was completely boiling, and Lao Meng's situation became more and more difficult, and he had just reprimanded his nephew Gao Shifu in a telegram and told him to go back to Jilin. Then Lao Meng went to Guo Zongxi again, communicated with the envoy, and apologized to him.

When Meng Enyuan was very busy, the business and academic circles in Jilin and Changchun took action, and the goods involved businessmen from the two provinces, and the major businessmen pushed a few representatives, found Lao Meng, and cried to Meng Enyuan, they were already very difficult, constantly being bullied by Japan, and now their own people have to help Japan bully them, and they will not give a way to live.

The business community is more subtle, and the academic world is more direct, Lao Meng was honorably charged with being a traitor and a traitor, and everyone unanimously demanded that the national thief be punished and Gao Shifu should be taken, and Meng Enyuan should also be sent to all walks of life.

At this time, the representative of Fengtian also found the envoy Guo Zongxi.

"Does Zhang Yushuai have any advice?"

"Your Excellency is really wise, Yu Shuai said, as long as you can take the lead in denouncing Meng Enyuan to Beijing and make his charges public, Yu Shuai will definitely not treat your lord badly, and there will be a place for you on the ground of Jilin in the future."

Guo Zongxi still had some hesitation: "Meng Shuai has been in Jilin for many years, and he has a lot of merits, and he has a large number of generals and a very tight control, let's go and report him, isn't it hitting a stone with an egg, I'm afraid that if I don't succeed in fighting the tiger, I will be injured by the tiger!" ”

Guo Zongxi is still a little afraid of Meng Enyuan in the end, and the accumulated power of many years cannot be eliminated overnight.

"My lord, Yu Shuai has already asked Zhang Zhenshou to approach the Jifeng border with a brigade of soldiers, Meng Enyuan is just a hairpin general, if he dares to make a mistake, the Feng army will not let him go!" (To be continued......)
