Chapter 258: Refusal to set up a collar

Chen Benzhong and Chen Benyi, two brothers, escaped from the tomb of the Seven Martyrs Tomb with a brass compass, and when the two returned to the army station, they were just in time for the Feng army to be defeated. So in the midst of the confusion, the two men mixed into Feng's army and withdrew to Beijing with them. The brothers' claim that their father had been killed by stray bullets in the chaotic battle did not arouse the suspicion of those who supervised them.

At that time, Zhang Zuolin had already taken office as the generalissimo of the army and navy of the Beiyang Military Government in Beijing, and had already begun to exercise the right to rule on behalf of the Republic of China, as if he had become the supreme ruler of the country. Zhang Zuolin, who learned of the death of their father, was heartbroken, the current Fengjun was in an eventful time, and it was the time to use money.

At that time, the second brother Chen Benyi had already made up his mind to follow his father's last wish and would not go to rob the tomb again. Chen Benyi, who just wanted to go to Zhang Zuolin to ask for his resignation, suddenly received Zhang Zuolin's appointment, appointed himself as the battalion commander, and took over his father's position.

So from that time on, Chen Benyi was thinking about how to escape. On the surface, he is very obedient and doesn't want to arouse Zhang Zuolin's suspicion, but secretly he is making escape plans all the time. Maybe God opened his eyes, and in a few days, this opportunity came.

Zhang Zuolin has a habit of drinking a bowl of tiger blood every morning after waking up. Because during this time, Zhang Zuolin and his soldiers were too busy, busy dealing with opposing warlords, busy dealing with Japan and Russia in the northeast, and they were busy with anxiety. So during this time, no one went up the mountain to catch tigers, and the two Siberian tigers in Zhang Zuolin's captivity were also dying because of long-term bloodletting.

Zhang Zuolin is not used to drinking other tiger blood, he is only fond of the tiger blood of the Northeast Tiger, so Chen Benyi proposed to Zhang Zuolin, hoping to take his younger brother and his soldiers to the Northeast to catch a few tigers for Zhang Zuolin, and by the way, find a tomb there, his proposal was immediately approved by Zhang Zuolin.

So the two brothers returned to Mukden with their men. On the night of the day they just returned to Fengtian, the two brothers made a decision, and while the guards were not paying attention, the two of them picked up their mother who was imprisoned in Fengtian and escaped, and escaped from Zhang Zuolin's supervision. If it weren't for the constant wars at that time and the emptiness of Fengtian's troops, the two brothers would not have succeeded so easily.

Escape is escape, but where can you go next? The two brothers were in trouble. If only the two of them could talk about it and bring their own mothers! There must be no way to go to the pass, and Shanhaiguan is guarded by Zhang Zuolin's soldiers, and he can't get out at all. The news of the two brothers escaping must have spread, maybe now Feng Jun is looking for himself everywhere, and it seems that he can only find a place to hide outside the gate.

The two brothers took their mother into hiding and passed by the Feng army who searched for them on several occasions. On this day, the two brothers took their mother to eat noodles in a small noodle restaurant, but overheard something. It was what they heard that led the two brothers to find a place to hide.

At that time, almost all the people in the noodle restaurant were talking about the refusal of the Japanese collar while eating, and the two brothers were brainless to hear it, the term "rejecting the Japanese collar" was really new, and they had never heard of it. The two of them pricked up their ears and listened for a long time before they heard a rough idea, and the meaning of rejecting the Japanese consulate was to resist Japan's establishment of a consular branch in Linhai County.

After the Russo-Japanese War, Japanese imperialism annexed the Eastern Dynasties, and their aggressive policy had successfully completed the first step, and they wanted to extend their grip to Northeast China. The situation in China in 1927 was turbulent, especially in the northeast, where there was a shortage of votes, war, and the situation was critical.

The Japanese saw this opportunity and wanted to take advantage of the fact that Zhang Zuolin was losing and retreating in the warlord melee and had no time to think about anything else, so they set their sights on Linhai County.

There is a place in Jilin Province called Linhai County, where the forest and mineral resources are abundant, and at the same time, it is located in the hinterland of Changbai Mountain, and is connected to the Eastern Dynasty, which belongs to the central area of the north bank of the Yalu River. Linhai County is very important in terms of economic value and military strategic position. The Japanese have been coveting this place for a long time, but they have never had a chance to take advantage of it.

In 1905, Japan forced the Qing government to set up a Sino-Japanese joint venture Yalu River Color Curtain Company, which carried out a frenzied plundering of forest resources in the Linhai County area, and about millions or tens of millions of timber were cut down and shipped to Japan every year. The Japanese once boasted that Linhai County was rich in agricultural and mineral materials and other materials, which was unmatched in the world.

From that time on, the Japanese negotiated with the Qing government several times, and later with Zhang Zuolin, wanting to set up a consular branch in Linhai County, so as to completely occupy Linhai County as a springboard for their attack on Northeast China. On several occasions, the officials and people of Linhai worked together to resist, so that the purpose of Japan's establishment here was never achieved.

But Zhang Zuolin's successive defeats gave the Japanese this opportunity. So Japan sent Tanaka Sakuto to Linhai Prefecture to negotiate with the local government about the establishment of a consular branch, but the Japanese delegation was kicked out of the prefectural office. In the following period, the Japanese Tanaka used several tricks, but to no avail.

Thousands of people attended the rally and marched through the streets to resist the Japanese aggression. Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Tanaka wanted to forcibly set up a consular branch in the waterfront by force. So one day at the end of May 1927, the Japanese gathered three squadrons of troops to cover Tanaka and others to the other side of the Yalu River in Linhai County, in an attempt to forcibly set up a command.

When the people of Linhai learned of this news, more than 100,000 people from the county's agricultural and industrial schools went on strike and held a large-scale demonstration, and the marchers walked to the Yalu River, where they were not afraid of the guns of the Japanese soldiers on the other side, and they glared angrily at the other side and shouted slogans, so that the Japanese soldiers did not dare to act rashly.

The Linhai Municipal Government even telegraphed to Fengtian: "Linhai is an important throat town in the east, and the gains and losses of one county are really the survival of the three provinces." Lie Xianguo ignored it for a long time, and the people could only fight my more than 100,000 heads, and wrestle with the treacherous and greedy Japanese people on the bank of the Yajiang River. If the unfortunate axiom is extinguished, the Japanese will succeed and be willing to die along with the axioms! ”

This passage vividly embodies the patriotic pride of the people of Linhai County in order to defend national sovereignty and regard death as home.
