Chapter 34 The House of the Jin Merchants

Zhang Zuolin is an extremely smart figure, who climbed from a bandit leader to the position of the head of a country in less than 20 years, and this achievement is not bad compared with the heroes of all dynasties. The main reason for Lao Zhang's miserable end is that he started too low, did not have enough grasp of the international trend in the era of capital, and over-consumed the liliang of the Feng system on the supreme power of chasing the Beijing regime.

However, in any case, Zhang Zuolin still has a keen eye, especially after Zhang Tinglan peddled the plan of the North Market to him, and encouraged him to provide armed protection for the merchants of the entire Mukden and establish a new commercial order. Zhang Zuolin has been thinking about this suggestion these days, and the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks that this idea is clever, he holds the barrel of the gun, and the businessman holds the money bag, and the two are combined, each taking what he needs, and the 27th Division will definitely be able to enter the fast lane of development.

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, the first thing to do is to establish prestige, so that all circles in Fengtian can deter the force of the 27th Division, and at the same time agree with the proposition of the 27th Division.

After having this idea, what Zhang Zuolin urgently needs is to kill chickens and monkeys, make an example, and establish his power. At this juncture, Nishimura and his men were disarmed, didn't they fall into Zhang Zuolin's hands!

The Japanese are undoubtedly the most powerful and arrogant shili in Mukden, and the 27th Division can make them bow their heads, which is undoubtedly proving Lao Zhang's toughness, and Nishimura inadvertently became a stepping stone for Zhang Zuolin to show his strength, and the vast majority of Chinese have an instinctive dislike for the Japanese, Lao Zhang cut the face of the Japanese on their behalf, and the businessmen will naturally identify with the Shili of the 27th Division from the bottom of their hearts, and regard Lao Zhang as their guardian.

Zhang Zuolin turned around a few times with a pair of fox eyes, and thought about these powerful relationships very clearly, so he was very satisfied with the action of disarming the Japanese soldiers. Of course, Lao Zhang knows better that if he wants to develop in the future, he will have to use the Japanese, so he must not fall out, so Lao Zhang put on an angry and corrupt appearance, and scolded Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang and others.

Then Lao Zhang personally asked his subordinates to pick up the confiscated weapons and return them to the Japanese soldiers, Lao Zhang also personally held Nishimura's katana, this knife is very well-made, it is Nishimura in the Russo-Japanese War after the meritorious service, the boss rewarded the treasure, usually regarded by Nishimura as the root of life.

Lao Zhang had a look of guilt on his face, sent the katana to Nishimura's hand, and apologized again and again: "Mr. Nishimura, his subordinates are not sensible, don't be surprised, we are all friends, these small misunderstandings will definitely not affect the invincible heroic image of the imperial army, Zhang Mouren admires you very much." ”

The more good words Zhang Zuolin said, the more ugly the color on Nishimura's face became, he couldn't wait for Zhang Zuolin to be a little arrogant, he could feel better, Lao Zhang turned his head and complimented him, every sentence sounded mockery, like a sharp knife, constantly cutting Nishimura's dignity and crushing it into scum.

It's just that he can't say what he suffers, and the feeling of suffering a dumb loss makes him almost collapse, Yada has already rushed over, although he is the consul general and holds great power, but he is not a system with Nishimura. He was under the orders of the Japanese cabinet, while Nishimura was directly subordinate to the Kwantung Army and the Japanese military department, and Yada had no right to accuse Nishimura.

But at this time, Yada is full of resentment, and Nishimura is a complete fool. Yada knows very well how big China is, the three eastern provinces alone have richer resources than Japan itself, and there is also a strong potential, if you want such a huge China to fall at the feet of Japan and let Japan take what it wants, the most important thing is to make the Chinese fear Japan, and it is a fear from the bone marrow.

As soon as they see the Japanese, they will unconsciously weaken their knees, consider themselves weak, have blind admiration for Japan, and be extremely contemptuous of themselves, and only by maintaining the myth of Japan's strength and invincibility can they maintain all kinds of interests in China.

Fear-mongering is also an important way to maintain domination, for example, in the British Empire, where the sun never sets, the British Isles, with only 30 million people, occupy colonies scattered all over Shijie, with a total population of 300 million, which is basically every British with ten overseas slaves.

Britain did not have too many troops in most of the colonies, only a few administrative personnel, and if the people of these colonies had no blind fear of the British Empire, and could carefully analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and make use of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, then the sun of this empire would have set long ago.

In the past, in every Sino-Japanese conflict, Japan has put on a completely arrogant attitude and used various means to force the Chinese government to pay reparations, and they have repeatedly trampled on the dignity of the Chinese government.

From the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Beiyang, the government officials became more and more afraid of them, and even lost their minds, as soon as they heard the word "Japan", they were afraid and worried, so that the Japanese could do whatever they wanted. In the eyes of traitors, China is weak and will die in war, so they shamelessly call the traitor a traitor to save the country, and claim to be reasonable, but in fact they are the most irrational, the ugliest, and the most groveling minions.

This time, the time for the Feng army to disarm the Japanese soldiers was less than ten minutes, and after Zhang Zuolin arrived, the weapons were immediately returned to the Japanese, and Lao Zhang apologized again and again, which seemed to be useless, but the spirit of the Feng army and the Japanese army had completely different changes. In the eyes of the Feng army, the Japanese no longer have the usual lofty and sacrosanct momentum, they are just an ordinary group of people, if they are allowed to fight with the Japanese at this time, there will definitely be no cowardice before the battle.

On the other hand, the Japanese have also lost their former arrogance and arrogance, and their heads have unconsciously lowered. Inadvertently, Japan's image of invincibility, which Japan has painstakingly maintained for many years, has been shattered, and Fengjun can look at Japan with a calm mind, although this is only the beginning, but it is as if a glimmer of light has just appeared on the horizon, and a new world will appear sooner or later.

From this point of view, this capture and release of Cao Yan is too worthwhile, and what Feng Jun has harvested is too precious.

Nishimura and his subordinates regained their weapons, but they no longer had the face to stay, so Nishimura was ashamed and annoyed and took his subordinates back to the Manchurian Annex, like a group of soldiers who had lost a battle, and fled in disgrace, and the faces of all the soldiers were filled with the joy of the victor, and Lao Zhang still had to play a trick with Yada.

"Mr. Yada, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this incident, I did not notify the Japanese side in order to keep it secret, and I gave strict orders to the brothers that they must successfully complete the task, so they did not know how to act tactfully, which offended the Japanese side, but please rest assured that Mr. Yada has absolutely no ill will towards the Japanese side."

Yada barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Division Commander Zhang, the problem now is to find out about the Korean anti-Japanese organization, if it is true, it will prove that you are sincere in helping Japan, we are still friends, and any misunderstandings can be solved, if we find that the Korean resistance to Shili is a lie woven by you, the Japanese Empire is definitely not easy to bully, I will also ask the Kwantung Army and Tokyo to take decisive measures to punish Division Commander Zhang and your subordinates, as for what the consequences will be." It's not something I can manage. ”

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly nodded and said: "Mr. Yada, don't worry, we will hand over the evidence to you immediately, I will never dare to deceive the Japanese government for such a big matter." ”

Zhang Zuoxiang also walked over between the words: "Division commander, since we have a misunderstanding with the Japanese side, then I think it is very likely that the few Japanese caught in the operation are also misunderstandings, and because of this misunderstanding, Nishimura Osa led the army to intercept us, and there was a conflict between the two sides. ”

Lao Zhang glared at him and said sharply: "Since you know that you are wrong, why don't you let a few Japanese friends go quickly." ”

Zhang Zuoxiang hurriedly ordered to bring Kawashima Naniwa and Miki over, Miki didn't have anything to do, and Kawashima Naniwa's front teeth were kicked out by Zhang Tinglan, and now his lips are almost as swollen as sausages, and he looks extremely miserable.

"Mr. Yada, for your sake, we let them go, but I also have a few words to say that they have a connection with Park In-yong, and Park In-yong is the biggest suspect in the anti-Japanese organization, and they have a very close relationship with each other, maybe Kawashima was deceived by Park In-yong, or maybe they have bad intentions, Mr. Yada, you must not let your guard down because they are Japanese." When Zhang Zuoxiang was put back on Kawashima, he solemnly reminded Yada.

Kawashima is not convenient to speak now, and can only stare at Zhang Zuoxiang with eyes full of resentment, while Miki said loudly: "Mr. Yada, they are full of nonsense, Mr. Park is in the service of the empire, and we know all his actions, how can it be anti-Japanese." ”

Miki said such a sentence in a hurry, undoubtedly telling Park Renyong's bottom line, this guy is indeed a dog raised by the Japanese, Yada on the side glared at Miki fiercely and told him to shut up.

Zhang Zuolin knew it in his heart, but he still smiled on his face: "There is an ancient Chinese saying that knows people and knows their faces but they don't know their hearts, what is going on with this Park Renyong still needs to be carefully investigated, you can rest assured that there will be a conclusion soon, I will leave first." Zhang Zuolin took a large group of people and horses to escort the spoils back to Fengtian.

The position of the confrontation between the Feng army and the Japanese army was not far from Fengtian City, and many ordinary people who got up early saw it, although they did not dare to approach, but they also found out that it was the 27th Division and the Japanese soldiers who fought against each other, and it seemed that the 27th Division took advantage of the result, and the news was quickly spread throughout Mukden, and all those who heard the news were very excited.

And Liu Shucheng was talking with a pair of brothers and sisters at this time, they were Liu Shucheng's distant relatives, the real owners of Shengyun's villa land.

"Brother, according to what you said, this Young Master Zhang is really a capable person, even the Japanese have to suffer in front of him, I really look forward to seeing a young hero like him." Qiao Ruixuan said with emotion.
