Chapter 18: The thugs of Kawashima Naniwa

Lu Zhengxiong also thought that he had done a great thing, he had no idea that the more strongly some things were suppressed, the greater the backlash would be.

The students of the Republic of China can be described as bold, even the Prime Minister's Office, the Presidential Palace, let alone a small Governor's Palace. Moreover, just a few months ago, the students launched a large-scale march because of the 21st Incident, and now the heat has not passed, and the public opinion in Mukden has reached the critical point of explosion, and now it is like a spark being thrown down by Lu Zhengxiong.

The incompetent government and the Japanese are in cahoots, betraying national interests and brutalizing the people. If the march before that was against the Japanese, then the government of Mukden will not be able to run away next.

Although Zhang Xiluan's brain is a little dull, but he is also a character who has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, of course he can think clearly about the key, the old man's snow-white beard couldn't stop shaking, reached out and grabbed the teacup, and smashed it on Lu Zhengxiong's head, and Lu Zhengxiong came to a full house in an instant.

Of course, Zhang Xiluan also knew that killing Lu Zhengxiong would not solve the problem, so he could only ask Zhang Zuolin for help: "Yuting, what should you do when you see the things in front of you, do you need me to send someone to the school to persuade the students, don't let them make trouble!" ”

Zhang Zuolin was also a little unsure, he turned his head to look at Zhang Tinglan, and said to him: "Tinglan, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Now things are in a dilemma, the impeachment of the students will only make the students' resentment against the government even greater, and the infamy of traitor will be confirmed, but blindly supporting the students, once they annoy the Japanese, they will tear their faces, and we can't bear the consequences. If I want to see that it is better to raise the soup to stop the boiling, it is better to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, so I simply ignore the students for the time being, let them vent their grievances, as long as they are controlled at the critical moment. ”

As soon as Lao Zhang heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he knew that he had a way, so he nodded: "Godfather, don't worry, this trouble was caused by our 27th Division, I will definitely deal with it satisfactorily, you don't have to worry about anything!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xiluan heard that Zhang Zuolin's big burden had passed, a smile finally appeared on his old face, he actually didn't care if Zhang Zuolin could handle it, the most important thing was to have a black pot when necessary, so the old guy nodded hurriedly: "If you can work hard, you will work hard in Yuting!" ”

Zhang Zuolin left the Governor's Mansion with Zhang Tinglan, and Lao Zhang asked Zhang Tinglan with a smile: "What kind of person is Zhang Xiluan?" ”

"Old and incompetent, without responsibility, the old Manchu bureaucracy, Yuan Shikai let him guard the three eastern provinces is definitely a mistake!"

"Haha, that's a good point, I'm not afraid that he is incompetent, I'm afraid that he has the ability, otherwise this Fengtian can still fall into our hands?"

Zhang Zuolin is ambitious, and he has long coveted the throne of the governor of Fengtian, Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "Seventh master, I think that this time the military and political power of Fengtian can almost be pocketed, at least Lu Zhengxiong's waste should be taken." ”

"Tinglan, you have to get through the level in front of you before you can think about those things, to be honest, I really don't want to offend the Japanese to death, those dozen ronins are hedgehogs in my arms, it's a headache!"

In fact, it's not just that Zhang Zuolin doesn't want to offend the Japanese to death, even Zhang Tinglan doesn't have this idea, not to mention, the Japanese hold the South Manchurian Railway, which is the main artery of the Northeast's foreign contact.

"Seventh Master, I have already thought of a good way to explain to all parties, you come here with your ears!" Zhang Tinglan said a few words in Zhang Zuolin's ear, and a smile suddenly appeared on Lao Zhang's face, which was really exciting.

After listening, Lao Zhang patted Zhang Tinglan's shoulder with satisfaction, "Your kid's head is flexible, with that scapegoat, everyone's face will be saved." But since you have such a haode method, why do you still allow the students to make trouble, and now go directly to the Japanese, won't the problem be solved? ”

Zhang Tinglan hurriedly shook his hand: "This is not good for Japan's face after all, without full pressure, they will not compromise, besides, isn't this to create an opportunity for the Seventh Master to clean up the hearts of the people?" ”

Lao Zhang browled his hands with a smile, his proposal to Zhang Tinglan was one hundred and twenty agrees, and soon they returned to his mansion.

At this time, in front of Zhang Zuolin's mansion, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Yuan Jinkai and others were already waiting. As soon as Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan got off the carriage, Sun Liechen and the others hurriedly greeted them.

"Yuting, there are more and more students marching, what do you think should be done?"

Sun Liechen asked questions on behalf of everyone, Lao Zhang was full of confidence at this time, and he didn't have any worries at all, he waved his hand: "Sixth brother, and all the brothers don't have to worry, there is already a solution." Sixth brother, you and Fu Chen will send two battalions of elite soldiers to stand by at any time, you must be the most capable, and the rest will be scattered! ”

Lao Zhang ordered Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang, although the two of them couldn't guess what medicine Zhang Zuolin was selling in his gourd, but seeing that he was so confident, they were also a lot more relaxed. Zhang Zuoxiang had already noticed Zhang Tinglan behind Zhang Zuolin, this kid was looking proud, as the saying goes, knowing the son is more than the father, Zhang Zuoxiang immediately guessed that it was most likely this kid who had some ideas.

Since Zhang Tinglan helped Zhang Zuolin and Fred form an alliance and resolve the crisis of the 27th Division, Zhang Zuoxiang has been very surprised by his son's ability. This time, he took the initiative to arrest more than a dozen Japanese ronins, if this kid didn't have a solution, most of them wouldn't be so reckless, thinking of this, Zhang Zuoxiang was also relieved.

He and Sun Liechen both went to prepare for the transfer of troops, and the academic and business circles in Fengtian also took action at this time, and the student representatives were severely beaten by the police, which completely detonated the anger of the teachers and students in Fengtian.

In the era of the Republic of China, students were definitely a very active group, and they acted as the vanguard of any major historical event, and many enthusiastic students also regarded saving the country and the people as their natural mission, and soon all middle schools, teachers, and even high school students were organized.

In addition to the students, many Mukden merchants also stood up, and during this time, the Japanese annexed the shops and squeezed the living space of the Chinese merchants, which had made everyone unbearable, and they all took this opportunity to organize.

By the next day, a procession of thousands of people rushed towards the Japanese consulate with various slogans, and these students were already familiar with the march, chanting slogans, and soon approached the Japanese consulate.

Just as they were turning the corner, a group of well-dressed Japanese ronins suddenly appeared in front of them, numbering about two hundred people, each carrying a bright steel knife in their hands, led by Kawashima Naniwa. Behind them were hundreds of Japanese guards, armed with rifles, all pointed at the marching students.

Kawashima Naniwa stared contemptuously at the Chinese students and businessmen: "In front is the consulate of the Great Japanese Empire, not a place where you can go wild, please go back, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

Kawashima's contemptuous attitude suddenly made these students angry, and they shouted loudly, and a few stunned young people grabbed the bamboo pole used to hold the slogan and were about to rush forward.

At this moment, Kawashima Naniwa suddenly took a few steps back, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of strong thugs in green clothes rushed out from the alleys on both sides. These men, all armed with machetes and sticks, separated the Japanese ronin from the students, and they stared at the students on the march.

The sudden appearance of this gang of thugs surprised everyone, and they had no idea where they came from or whose people they were.

At this time, a short and fat man walked out and arched his hand at the students: "Students, as the saying goes, swords and guns have no eyes, you all have a bright future, why bother hitting stones with eggs, hurry back to study!" ”
