In order to prevent accidents, Zhang Zuolin mobilized a total of two battalions of soldiers this time, one of which was scattered outside, controlling all the street corners, and then one battalion followed him in to solve the trouble, and the strength was very sufficient.

And because many of the students were bleeding and not as impulsive as at the beginning, they were all more obedient and dispersed according to the instructions, among which the injured students were all sent to the hospital, only Chu Mingyuan and a few other student representatives had not left, they wanted to see how to deal with this conflict.

Most of the men brought by Shanqi were controlled, and they squatted on the street with their heads in their hands, surrounded by black holes and muzzles pointing at them unceremoniously.

Zhang Zuolin came forward, and Yada couldn't watch the excitement from behind, so he walked to the front with high spirits: "Master Zhang, these thugs disrupted the order of the consulate and seriously damaged the image of the Great Japanese Empire, so you let it go so lightly, is there still the Great Japanese Empire in your eyes?" ”

"Mr. Yada, you are being unreasonable, the student march is their right to express their opinions, and they didn't really get to the front of the consulate, and the people who clashed with them were not Japanese, don't you wronged the good people!"

"Master Zhang, the people who stopped the rioters are all friends from Japan, you let them all go first, and then let's talk about other things!" Yada retreated and asked Zhang Zuolin to let Shanqi's thug go.

Lao Zhang still smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Yada, these people are all remnants of the previous dynasty, and they dare to commit murder in broad daylight, we will definitely punish them severely according to the law, and you won't bother." ”

Yada's request was rejected again, his face was extremely ugly, but Lao Zhang looked like he was in his chest: "This student march was caused by the ronin attack, we should solve the problem from the root, Consul General Yada, I suggest going to the Governor's Mansion now, presided over by Governor Zhang Xiluan, let's discuss a solution that does not harm the interests of all parties, what do you think?" ”

"No way!" Anger appeared in Yada's eyes: "Senior Commander Zhang, all this is instructed by you, I tell you that the Great Japanese Empire will not bow its head casually, and any attempt to provoke the Empire is stupid......"

Yada was going to continue to speak harshly, and suddenly an attendant ran over in a panic, and as soon as Yada saw his face change color, he knew that something big was wrong, and hurriedly followed the attendant back to the consulate, and after waiting for less than twenty minutes, Yada walked out again.

His face was covered with a layer of gray color, looking a little depressed, the changes in mood before and after were something he couldn't hide no matter what, facing Zhang Zuolin again, Yada's momentum was obviously not as strong as Fang Cai, he paused and said: "Master Zhang, I would like to see Mukden return to calm, and I am happy to see you play an important role in resolving the current crisis, but the dignity of the empire must be guaranteed." ”

Yada's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, in fact, there is nothing strange about it, just now from the Japanese government, Beijing's minister Nichiki sent two telegrams at about the same time, both of which were sternly worded to ask Yada to quell the anti-Japanese demonstrations in Mukden as soon as possible and at any cost and eliminate the bad influence.

At this time, the Japanese government was also under strong pressure from the great powers, and Britain, France, the United States, and other countries were taking advantage of this opportunity to express their dissatisfaction with Japan, and even the British government threatened Japan to reduce its military orders. You must know that Japan still owes a large amount of foreign debt, and it has not recovered from the Russo-Japanese War at all, and it is only by pointing to the huge orders of the First World War that Japan has changed from a debtor country to a creditor country in one fell swoop, so this time it has hit Japan's vital point.

Yada's attitude softened, and the rest of the things were easy to do, and soon the three parties were sitting in the Mukden Governor's Palace, Zhang Xiluan was sitting in the middle, he looked at Zhang Zuolin, and then at Yada, and then said: "Mr. Consul General, China and Japan are friendly neighbors, there is a little misunderstanding, it is nothing, it can be resolved peacefully, I don't know what Mr. Consul General wants?" ”

"The Empire's demands are simple, that is, to release the detained Imperial nationals, to compensate the Empire for its losses, and to ensure that those students will not start anti-Japanese demonstrations again, as long as these are done, the Empire will not ask too much."

"Isn't that too much? This incident was completely caused by the connivance of the Japanese side to the ronin, and the student march was reasonable, and as for the compensation for the damages, it is nonsense, and we cannot accept it! ”

Yada's face also became gloomy, "Since Senior Commander Zhang is insincere, there is no need for us to negotiate!" ”

"Mr. Yada, don't worry, we'll definitely find the best of both worlds." Zhang Xiluan was afraid that the talks between the two sides would collapse and cause him trouble, so he hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

"Yuting, I don't think those ronins have caused too serious results, so it's better to release them first!"

Zhang Xiluan, the old guy, chose to retreat at this critical moment, and he didn't know which one he was, Zhang Zuolin shook his head: "Lord Governor, this time is about the face of the Japanese side, isn't it about our dignity, without a reasonable explanation, just letting people go like this will only anger the students even more, and there will be a bigger parade next, which is absolutely undesirable." ”

"Then Master Zhang, what else can you do that you can't do?" Yada asked with disdain on his face.

"Mr. Yada, I really have a way to talk about it." Saying that, Zhang Zuolin glanced at Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly stood up from the last position, cleared his throat and said: "Old Governor, Mr. Consul General, I think that this emergency has caused great trouble to both countries, and public opinion is boiling like soup, and if you want to solve the problem, you can only draw money from the bottom of the kettle." The Japanese side and the Mukden side will be freed from the dead knot in front of them, so as to save the face of both sides and appease the people. ”

"Well, the young man has a good analysis, tell me how to do it?" Zhang Xiluan's argument about Zhang Tinglan was one hundred and twenty agrees, and he let Zhang Tinglan continue.

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "The cause of this incident is those few ronins, as long as they are properly resolved, all contradictions will naturally disappear." ”

"How can a dozen big living people disappear, you are talking nonsense." Yada said disdainfully.

"Mr. Consul General, don't worry, just imagine, if a dozen ronins are not Japanese, no matter how they are handled, won't it damage the dignity of Japan?"

Yada heard a slight movement in his heart, he seemed to have an idea, but he couldn't grasp the key, Zhang Tinglan continued: "I investigated, three of the dozen ronins are not Japanese, but Koreans who have been exiled to Mukden, they wear Japanese kimonos and speak Japanese, and they usually pretend to be Japanese, which seriously damages the image of Japan. ”

What Zhang Tinglan said was not made up at random, but the fact that after Japan occupied Korea, most Koreans chose to submit, and some Koreans were even keen to be slaves to the Japanese, and even regarded themselves as half Japanese.

Some people who couldn't get along in Korea pretended to be Japanese and went to China to make a fortune, and in the later War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was a saying that Japan cut off their heads and peeled their skins. It can be seen that these miscellaneous crumbs who have become dogs are more inhuman and more ferocious than their owners, and there are now some such pseudo-Japanese ronins in the three eastern provinces.

When Yada heard Zhang Tinglan's words, his brain also turned quickly, and he seemed to understand what Zhang Tinglan meant, "Are you saying that these ronins are faked by North Koreans?" ”

"That's right, Mr. Consul General, we can say that they are North Korean refugees, and although they smashed and looted the grain store, they did not cause any serious casualties, there is no serious crime, as long as the turmoil subsides, we will quietly let them go."

When Zhang Tinglan said this, Yada was also bright-eyed, so that he could indeed get the Japanese government out of the way, and he didn't have to have any pressure on himself, which was a good way. There was a hint of joy on his face, and Zhang Tinglan was also proud in his heart at this time, as long as Japan agreed, there would be a continuous backhand to deal with these damn Japanese.
