Chapter Eighty-Three: Yang's Kindness in Fighting Ghosts

Not a single foreign newspaper has praised China on this matter, because whatever you do is useless to the British and French. And Germany and Austria-Hungary don't want you to be open-minded, so no matter how generous you are, they won't praise you.

The same is true for Chinese newspapers, Sheng Huaixuan's "National Daily" today has a headache for commenting on this matter. China is now in a period of transition, where Western ideas and traditional Chinese culture collide violently, and attitudes towards Chinese in non-war zones are divided into two distinct camps.

One camp expressed support for this matter, saying that it reflected the tolerance of the Chinese nation, while the other expressed considerable dissatisfaction with Yang Xiaolin.

"Huizi, this comment was written by a very influential writer in the south, and it scolded Commander Yang by name, saying that the establishment of the non-combat zone was because Commander Yang forgot what the Russians did on our land, and he also brought out the allusion of the farmer and the snake, saying that Commander Yang is the stupid farmer, do you think this comment is sent or not?"

Sheng Huaixuan handed a manuscript to Yang Du, and Yang Du took it and read it. The sharp prose expresses the author's strong dissatisfaction, and every sentence is full of passion, like a battle cry, launching a fierce attack on the Chinese government's compromise on the issue of non-belligerent zones.

Yang Du smiled after reading it, and then looked at the name of the writer, He Haiming.

"Hair, of course, and try to make headlines."

Sheng Xuanhuai was quite puzzled: "This is not suitable, right?" Commander Yang was fighting at the front, and now we have just lost once. If we convey this message, will it cause him any trouble? ”

Sheng Huaixuan has been confused for so many years, and he is still very thoughtful about things. However, Yang Du obviously knows Yang Xiaolin very well, and if Yang Xiaolin bargains with the Russians on this issue, then it may be possible that the non-war zone can really be established.

But that guy is so generous, which makes Yang Duzhi, who knows him very well, say that this non-combat zone will be leveled by Yang Dagui sooner or later. So, now do some work on public opinion. It's not to cause trouble to Yang Xiaolin, it's to solve the problem that he may have in the future.

"Hehe, Sheng Lao. You don't know Commander Yang yet. If you talk about kindness, what is the kindness of Yang beating ghosts, do you know the way? ”

Sheng Huaixuan shook his head.

Yang Du continued: "He is fundamentally different from Yuan Gong and Sun Wen, for Yuan Gong, mercy is to give the Russians a non-war zone before the war. Let those Russian civilians be protected from the flames of war. But for Yang to fight ghosts. Mercy is that I rob you of all your things, grab you and beat you again, and then cut off your legs and say to you,. ”

Sheng Huaixuan's expression was stunned for a while, obviously this benevolent way made him really incomprehensible for a while. It took him a while before he came back to his senses: "What does Huizi mean that Commander Yang wants to make a move in the north?" ”

Yang Du shook his head: "Then do you still need to guess." ”

Sheng Huaixuan nodded: "Okay, then we will send this draft." But the headlines may not work, Yuan Shikai and I said hello. The headlines are going to report on the incident in Anhui. ”

Yang Du didn't force it anymore.

Yang Duzhi said that the seemingly ordinary murder case in Anhui was about to cause a sensation in China. Lei Zhenchun has already brought the family of the man who killed the person by mistake to Beijing, and when the celebration is held tomorrow, these people will cry out in the most prosperous and lively area.

Are they wronged? In fact, it doesn't matter whether they are wronged or not, the important thing is that they make a fuss, Lao Yuan will immediately have a reason to ask Song Jiaoren to try this case, and when Song Jiaoren is tried, the collision of morality and legal principles will make Song Jiaoren have no way to make a judgment that satisfies everyone.

Lao Yuan will expand this dissatisfaction infinitely through the newspapers until there are enough voices to challenge the Constitution. Once the constitution is revised, Sun Wen's democracy will be over. The funny thing is that Mr. Sun Wen and they have not noticed what it means to have appeared in the newspaper in the past few days.

Mr. Sun has said on many occasions that democracy must be achieved through struggle. This struggle refers to who to fight against, and everyone knows very well in their hearts. And Mr. Sun is indeed working hard, Lao Yuan said that the first ceremony of the ceremony is to worship Confucius by thousands of students, and at this stage some government dignitaries will wear Hanfu to attend, and the ceremony will be followed by the speech of the descendants of the Confucian family.

Mr. Sun Wen argued on this matter, and he was doing his best to prevent Yuan Shikai from implementing this plan, and it was said that the gang of democracy fighters were now arguing in the presidential palace of old Yuan.

With Lao Yuan Dou, Mr. Sun Wen is really not good.

It's not that Mr. Sun is not capable enough, it's just that the means are not enough. Even if they force Yuan Shikai to make concessions today, when the cry of injustice comes out at tomorrow's ceremony, and then the newspapers and public opinion overwhelmingly attack the constitution, Sun Wen will be caught off guard.

Brothers compete, and those who have no lower limit will undoubtedly win.

Compared with Yuan Shikai, Sun Wen is too gentlemanly. Compared with Yang Du, Lao Yuan cares a little about his reputation. Yuan Shikai always wants to protect his archway in front of a bitch, but Yang Du is different, Yang Du doesn't care about that reputation at all.

Yang Du stood up: "Elder Sheng, let's just say that, now is not the time for us to do it." This time, we not only have to stop Yuan Shikai, but also use Yuan Shikai's strength to consume Sun Wen to the greatest extent and let them fight first. No matter what happens at tomorrow's ceremony, we won't speak. I still have to go to Lei Zhenchun's house to have a look, I heard that his new house is being renovated today, and we have to send a congratulatory gift. ”

Sheng Huaixuan said: "I know the way. I also have some things to do with the ceremony. ”

Yang Du snorted: "Anyway, we have to be a little more lively with this ceremony." ”

Cullen.

Zhang Xun is also preparing his gifts for Yuan Shikai's ceremony. He knew how dangerous it was for him to do this, as the situation worsened, the Russians had tighter control over Zhang Xun's troops, and there was also a Zhebu Danba who followed Lao Maozi to death, in case of a mistake, his head might fall to the ground immediately.

Zhang Xun really wanted to get in touch with Zhang Zuolin, the first front army that had already hit Kulun, but he couldn't. Although he still holds the title of Minister of Defense of the Qing Dynasty. However, the commanders in the troops have all been replaced by Russians, and Zhang Xun not only does not move the troops, but even does not know the operational deployment of Akberil.

It is precisely because of this situation. Therefore, Zhang Xun strengthened his determination to revolt immediately. He was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would lose even this last opportunity. If he didn't do anything after Zhang Zuolin won the battle, even if he relied on the old relationship in Beiyang to support him and leave a life, what was the point?

Zhang Xun is not Zaifeng, he really feels that he still has a way out.

Thirty-one days, the last night of the last seven years.

Zhang Xun called all his cronies who had come with him from Beijing to Kulun to his home. It's something he does every year, calling his cronies and subordinates over for a meal. It is the habit of almost all generals from Beiyang, and this habit comes from Lao Yuan.

In the past, Zhang Xun believed that what he invited must be loyal to him, but today is different. Who else among these people can be trusted, Zhang Xun doesn't know what to do.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Xun put down his wine glass, looked around with his eyes and said, "Brothers." Now we have a bit of an unusual situation here. I've heard that someone is going back to Beijing, is there such a thing?"

As soon as he said this, the room suddenly fell silent, and dozens of people on the five tables looked at each other, and none of them dared to speak. Everyone knows what the war situation is like, and it is not the one or two who are tempted, and of course there are not a few people who are determined to follow the Russians.

In the silence, Zhang Xun sighed: "Brothers, all of you are sitting here today from Beijing. You have been following me Zhang Xun for several years. Today I would like to tell you something that is heart-wrenching. I, Zhang Xun, have no way out, and I believe you have also seen the wanted list issued by Yuan Shikai. I'm in fifth place, and the way back may be impossible. But if you want to go, I can give you a ride. ”

At this time, a man immediately stood up: "My lord! We have come from Beijing together, and now we should naturally be blessed and share hardships! If the adults don't go, neither will we! ”

As soon as they heard this, some people next to them immediately shouted. These people may not be very brave on the battlefield, but there is absolute righteousness at the wine table!

Zhang Xun glanced at them and smiled: "I understand the intentions of your brothers, but now there is really no need for this, and the war situation has developed like this, and I have done my best to obey the mandate of heaven, so I should serve the emperor." But all of you brothers have families, so you don't have to follow me Zhang Xun to die. ”

Someone else wanted to say something, but Zhang Xun waved his hand to interrupt: "I've already thought it through, who among you wants to leave, start standing up now, while I still have some ability, I'll send you out of Kulun." Let's talk about it first, the brothers have their own ideas, and they must not hold others. I don't have any requirements for those who want to leave, and in the future, during the Qingming Festival, remember to burn some paper money for those of us. ”

No one made any moves for a while, and Zhang Xun's eyes turned around: "What?" Nobody wants to go? Could it be that all the rumors I've heard these days are fake? Or do you have to sell me Zhang Xun? ”

Someone finally stood up and walked up to Zhang Xun and kowtowed: "My lord, it's not that I don't want to accompany you, it's just that my family is in the south, and I really can't bear to give up, please forgive me." ”

Zhang Xun nodded and reached out to help him up. With the first one, the others who wanted to leave seemed to have found a reason, and seven or eight more came forward one after another.

This number is not too many, and these people who stand up are not very capable in the army on weekdays, which makes Zhang Xun a little disappointed.

"Isn't that gone?"

Zhang Xun asked again, and saw that the rest of the people basically didn't move anymore, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "Okay, come on!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, a team of soldiers with loaded guns poured in from outside, which made the faces of everyone in the room suddenly change greatly, especially those who stood up, seven or eight guys turned pale, they were very remorseful at this time, hating themselves for standing up for something!

"I'm sorry brothers, although I want someone to burn paper money for me after I die, but I prefer white silver! It's better to be alive. You can hate me Zhang Xun, and I promise you that I will take good care of your family. Do it! (To be continued......)
