Chapter 235: Fighting Wisely

Song Zheyuan walked to the front desk, still holding Tang Qiuli's hand, helplessly, Tang Qiuli could only stand sideways behind Song Zheyuan under the gaze of everyone.

A few simple opening remarks, taking advantage of everyone's attention to be attracted by Song Zheyuan, Tang Qiuli had the opportunity to observe the people below, dressed in military uniforms, robes and horse coats, suits and leather shoes, people are dressed in a variety of ways, a combination of local and foreign, Chinese and Western, just like the current situation in China.

What made him feel dazzling was that there were several Japanese officers, mixed in the crowd, hungry wolf-like eyes, staring at him fiercely, eager to devour himself alive, Tang Qiuli did not show weakness with his eyes, and between the exchange of eyes, there seemed to be a spark collapsing, this is the hostility between enemies, only blood can be resolved.

The Japanese consul in Beiping, Kenjiro Kobayashi was also present, Tang Qiuli squeezed his eyes at him, this guy's face was blue at that time, he turned his head and whispered a few words to those Japanese officers, and immediately, Tang Qiuli felt that he was being targeted by a few hungry wolves.

This guy, the matter of the Japanese ronin, has not yet been answered, I have to remind him that it is a pity not to be strange about the business of tens of thousands of oceans.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, this person next to me is the new deputy commander of the 29th Army, the commander of the Pingjin garrison, the vice chairman of the Political Affairs Committee of the Jicha, General Tang Qiuli, and the commander of the North China Independent Division.

As soon as this decision was announced, it was like throwing a boulder on a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves, and people exchanged heads and talked about it, not to mention everyone, even Tang Qiuli was surprised, and thought that Song Zheyuan would go out to avoid the limelight after a while.

The Japanese at the bottom were even more stunned, dealing with Song Zheyuan, they could get some benefits, and if they replaced Tang Qiuli as a mortal enemy, the interests of the Great Japanese Empire would be damaged, which was a very unfavorable situation, and Kenjiro Kobayashi's brain was running rapidly.

The officers of the 29th Army naturally welcomed, which was also what the old army commander meant, and they applauded desperately, first, to express support for the old commander's decision, and second, to welcome Tang Qiu to leave his post.

The Japanese were completely desperate, and it turned out that they were still preparing to provoke the officers of the 29th Army to unanimously oppose Tang Qiuli's acting as the supreme military and government affairs in North China, and the Japanese knew very well that China's army was full of factions, and the 29th Army was the old foundation of the Northwest Army.

At the beginning, the acquiescence of the 29th Army to enter the Pingjin area to deploy defenses was also due to the fact that the Northwest Army would inevitably have resentment after being squeezed out by the Nanjing government in many ways, and would be separated from the Nanjing government, so as to facilitate the co-optation and control of the army, and then clear the way for the autonomy of the five provinces in North China.

Tang Qiuli, as the new concubine of the Central Army, how could he have won it so quickly, the support and love of these officers of the Northwest Army, originally thought that they could also see a dragon and tiger fight, and the Japanese government could sit and reap the benefits of fishermen, but I did not expect that things would turn out to be such a result, Song Zheyuan was willing to give up his position, Chinese, really do not understand what they are thinking?

So, on the night of June in Beiping, Tang Qiuli officially walked to the front of the military and political situation in North China, and the eyes and focus of all parties were focused on him.

Immediately, Tang Qiuli became the center of attention of the audience, he smiled bitterly at Song Zheyuan, and said in his heart, Brother Song, you are really going to make a surprise attack, on this occasion, if you don't agree to come down, it will put Song Zheyuan in an embarrassing situation, and the officers of the 29th Army will also be very disgusted, and if you agree, you will stand on the cusp of the storm and become the target of everyone.

It's okay, it's out of the way, the arrow is on the bow, and I have to send it, so I will enter the role in advance Song Zheyuan has already given up the position to him, "Ladies and gentlemen, Tang Qiuli adheres to the will of his ancestors and practices martial arts to strengthen his army, just to one day resist foreign enemies and eliminate invaders."

These words are clear enough and direct enough, everyone knows that in this case, the foreign enemy refers to that, and many people turn their eyes to those Japanese, and the Japanese have long been pale-faced, and they can see that they are holding back their anger.

A Japanese major general, unable to bear it, separated the crowd, walked to the front, grasped the handle of the command knife with his left hand, and asked in an aggressive tone: "May I ask General Tang, what do you mean by your words?" Don't you think it's a deliberate attempt to sabotage diplomatic relations between China and Japan? ”

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became solemn, and the guests all felt the smell of gunpowder.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Tang Qiu's mouth: "Who is Your Excellency?" "The Japanese Empire, the 3rd Brigade of the North China Garrison Army, Brigade Commander Oshima Masayoshi," replied the Japanese major general arrogantly.

"Your Excellency Oshima, don't you think it's rude to interrupt your master's speech for no reason on such an occasion? Could it be that Japanese generals are so uneducated? These few words of questioning made Oshima speechless, and his face turned into pig's liver, which was indeed his own rudeness, and Oshima felt a burning anger in his heart, and he wanted to kill this hateful Shina man with a knife.

Seeing the appearance of the Japanese, the officers of the 29th Army let out a kind of laughter.

"Also, Your Excellency Oshima jumped out impatiently, did he admit that he was a foreign enemy and an aggressor? The two countries are in a state of hostility, so what kind of diplomatic relations are there between China and Japan? I don't know where to start with this crime of destruction? If Your Excellency Oshima does not think that he is a foreign enemy and an aggressor, then Your Excellency jumped out impatiently, and was aggressive between his words, asking Tang, why, what is his intention? ”

Tang Qiuli's tone gradually rose up, with anger, he really hated the face of the Japanese, if it was in normal times, he would not even have the interest in taking a look at these Japanese garbage, but, not now, this is diplomacy, it is another battlefield, but since this garbage took the initiative to beg for scolding, he can't let it go, it won't fulfill you, I'm sorry for this face

The guests didn't expect that this young general, a powerful figure in Pingjin and North China, had such sharp words, and after laughing at Oshima, he didn't intend to let him go.

The officers of the 29th Army were relieved, the deputy commander was powerful, his words were reasonable, and his words were as sharp as knives, they secretly applauded in their hearts, and couldn't help but applaud, Song Zheyuan smiled on the side, he felt that since Tang Qiuli came to Beiping, it was less than a day, and he felt that he was in a good mood everywhere.

Oshima opened his mouth wide, trembling with anger, as if he was about to smoke sheep's horn, and he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to come up in one breath, so he went to see his Amaterasu on the spot.

Oshima felt that what Tang Qiuli said was completely wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it, and he couldn't use force, even if he used force, he couldn't take advantage of it, after all, between China and Japan, he hadn't torn his face yet, although the empire had long been prepared to invade China, could he say it on this occasion? said that Japan was going to occupy your China, but it is estimated that he was shot by his boss before he returned to the barracks.

Could it be that he was stopped by a small Chinese soldier? The general of the Great Japanese Empire has never been insulted like this, Oshima's blood all over his body surged to his face, looking at Tang Qiuli's mocking expression, and the contemptuous gazes of the surrounding visitors, Oshima's head "boomed", his eyes were dark, and he fainted on the spot.

Everyone was stunned, this Japanese is too cautious, right? If you have a big enough temperament, you can faint like this, which is really a miracle.

Tang Qiuli was also unexpected, the little devil just had the ability to bear it in his heart, and he still wanted to invade the whole of China? Poor fellow, if you had known this, you would not have destroyed your young and fragile mind.

The officers of the 29th Army could no longer hold back their laughter, and some of the officers burst into tears, but it was the first time they saw that the Japanese officers who had fainted in anger had seen them in ordinary times, and they were all invincible and arrogant, and they did not look at us squarely, as if they were invincible in the world, and they were all in a posture of encompassing the world.

Later, when fighting against the Japanese army, even in the face of an enemy several times stronger than themselves, they dared to lead their soldiers to fight to the death, and they could not but attribute it to the scene tonight, which no one thought of.

Kenjiro Kobayashi saw that he couldn't come forward, the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Japanese, if he didn't say a few words, the Japanese would lose their faces, and they would have to die headlong when they went back.

"Honorable General Tang, since the signing of the Tanggu Agreement, Japan and China have been living in peace and there has been no conflict, the general's remarks, the imperial government can not take into account, but whether it violates the national policy of Chairman Chiang of your government, nor does it conform to the current form, if it causes a diplomatic dispute or a military conflict, how will the general explain to the government and people of your country?"

Xiao Lin is worthy of being a career diplomat, and his words are tricky, as soon as this guy speaks, he hits the nail on the head and points directly at Tang Qiuli's weakness.

When everyone heard this, they all became silent, and they tolerated the Japanese in many ways, and the relinquishment of the three eastern provinces and the eastern Hebei region was all related to the national policy implemented by the current government, and Kobayashi could send a diplomatic note to the government to protest against Deputy Army Commander Tang's remarks today, and Chairman Chiang, who was more ruthless than the Japanese in inciting anti-Japanese aggression, and dealt with the students in the "129" student movement.

"Mr. Kobayashi, as for how the government handles it, that is China's internal affair, and it has nothing to do with you, the whole country of Japan will not be furious because of Tang Qiuli's few words, right? That would be stingy

However, His Excellency Kobayashi, as a consul, could not restrain the overseas Chinese of your country very well, indulged them in picking quarrels and provoking troubles in Beiping, molested women, and after being caught, he actually resisted arrest on the spot, and unanimously caused our personnel and many people to be injured. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, the words of Consul Kobayashi, another Japanese who was scolding, did not frighten General Tang, but led the fire to himself, and there was a good show to watch.
