Zhang Zuolin is an extremely smart man. In less than twenty years, he climbed from a bandit leader to the position of head of state. This achievement is not bad compared with the heroes of the past dynasties. Lao Zhang ended miserably in the end.
The main reason is that he started too low, did not have enough grasp of the international trends in the capital era, and excessively consumed the power of the Fengcun in pursuing the supreme power of the Beijing regime.
But no matter what, Zhang Zuolin still has a keen eye, especially after Zhang Tinglan sold him the plan of the North Market and encouraged him to provide force protection for the entire Fengtian merchants and establish a new business order. Zhang Zuolin has been thinking about it these days.
After repeated consideration of this suggestion, the more Zhang Zuolin thought about it, the more he realized that this idea was brilliant. He held the barrel of the gun and the businessman held the money bag. By combining the two and each getting what they needed, the 27th Division would definitely be able to enter the fast lane of development.
Of course, the first thing to do to achieve this goal is to establish prestige, so that all walks of life in Fengtian can be intimidated by the force of the 27th Division, and at the same time agree with the 27th Division's proposition. There is both deterrence by force and inducement by profit, so there is no fear of being tricked.
After having this idea, what Zhang Zuolin urgently needed was to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, to serve as a warning to others, and to establish his power. At this juncture, Nishimura and his men were disarmed. Didn't they play into Zhang Zuolin's hands?
The Japanese are undoubtedly the most powerful and arrogant force in Fengtian. For the 27th Division to be able to bow their heads is undoubtedly proof of Lao Zhang's toughness. Nishimura inadvertently became a stepping stone for Zhang Zuolin to show his strength, and
The vast majority of Chinese people have an instinctive dislike of the Japanese. Lao Zhang represents them in the face of the Japanese. The businessmen will naturally identify with the force of the 27th Division from the bottom of their hearts and regard Lao Zhang as their guardian.
.
Zhang Zuolin rolled his fox eyes a few times and thought about these powerful relationships very clearly. Therefore, he was very satisfied with the action of disarming the Japanese soldiers. Looking at the entire Fengtian, these Japanese were the best targets to establish authority. Of course, Lao Zhang
It was clearer that if we wanted to develop in the future, we would have to use the Japanese, so we must not have a falling out. Therefore, Lao Zhang showed an angry look and scolded Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang and others.
Then Lao Zhang personally asked his men to pick up the collected weapons and return them to the Japanese soldiers. Lao Zhang also personally held Nishimura's samurai sword. This sword was very well made and was rewarded by Nishimura's superiors after his meritorious service in the Russo-Japanese War.
Baby, Nishimura usually regards him as his lifeblood.
With a guilty look on his face, Lao Zhang handed the samurai sword to Nishimura and apologized repeatedly: "Mr. Nishimura, your subordinates are ignorant. Please don't take offense. We are all friends. These small misunderstandings will never affect the emperor."
Mr. Zhang admires you very much for your heroic image of being invincible in military battles."
The more kind words Zhang Zuolin said, the uglier the color on Nishimura's face became. He wished that Zhang Zuolin would be more arrogant, so that he could feel better. Lao Zhang turned around and complimented him. Every word he said sounded sarcastic, as if it was a joke.
With a sharp knife, he kept cutting Nishimura's dignity into pieces and grinding it into dregs.
But he couldn't express his pain, and the feeling of being dumb made him almost collapse. Yata had already rushed over. Although he was the consul general and held great power, he was not in the same system as Nishimura. He took orders from the Japanese cabinet, and
Nishimura was directly under the Kwantung Army and the Japanese Military Headquarters, and Yata had no power to accuse Nishimura.
But at this time, Yata was full of resentment, and Nishimura was a complete idiot. Yata knew very well how big China was, and the three northeastern provinces alone had richer resources and greater potential than Japan itself. If you want to make such a huge country
China bows at the feet of Japan and allows Japan to take whatever it wants. The most important thing is to make the Chinese people fear Japan, and it is fear from the bone marrow.
As soon as they see the Japanese, they will unconsciously feel weak at the knees, consider themselves weak, blindly admire Japan, and extremely despise themselves. Only by maintaining the myth of Japan's invincibility can they
Able to maintain various interests in China.
Creating fear is also a very important way to maintain rule. Take the British Empire, where the sun never sets, as an example. The British Isles, with only 30 million people, has colonies all over the world. The total population is as much as 300 million, which is basically every day.
Every Englishman has ten overseas slaves.
The British do not have many troops stationed in most of the colonies, only some administrative personnel. If the people in these colonies no longer have blind fear of the British Empire, and can carefully analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, then this empire will never set.
The sun has already set.
Japan's various actions in China are actually imitating the British to create fear. In every past conflict between China and Japan, Japan has adopted a completely arrogant attitude and used various means to force the Chinese government to pay compensation and apologize. They have repeatedly trampled on the dignity of the Chinese government under their feet.
.
From the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Beiyang, government officials became more and more afraid of them, and even lost their minds. As soon as they heard the word "Japan", they would be afraid and worried, so that the Japanese could do whatever they wanted.
.In the future, there will be traitors everywhere in China because of this blind fear. In the eyes of the traitors, China is weak and the country will be destroyed if it fights. Therefore, they shamelessly call surrendering to the enemy and betraying the country as saving the country, claiming to be rational, but in fact they are the only ones.
He is the most irrational, ugly and groveling slave.
This time it took less than ten minutes for Fengjun to disarm the Japanese soldiers. After Zhang Zuolin arrived, the weapons were immediately returned to the Japanese. Lao Zhang also apologized repeatedly. It seemed that his efforts were in vain, but Fengjun and the Japanese soldiers followed one after another.
The spirit of Fengjun has completely changed. In the eyes of Fengjun, the Japanese no longer have the usual aloof and sacrosanct aura. They are just a group of ordinary people. If they are allowed to compete with the Japanese at this time
When fighting, there will never be a situation where you become timid before fighting.
On the other hand, the Japanese also lost their past arrogance, and their heads lowered unconsciously. Inadvertently, the invincible image that Japan had painstakingly maintained for many years was broken. Fengjun was able to look at Japan with a peaceful attitude, although this was still
It's just a beginning, but it's like a glimmer of dawn has just appeared on the horizon, and a new world will appear sooner or later.
From this perspective, the performance of "Catch and Release Cao" was so worthwhile, and what Feng Jun gained was so precious.
Nishimura and his men regained their weapons, but they had no shame to stay any longer. Therefore, Nishimura was ashamed and annoyed and led his men back to the Manchurian Railway Annex, just like a group of soldiers who had lost a battle, looking dejected.
After escaping, the faces of all the Fengjun soldiers were filled with the joy of victory, but Lao Zhang and Yata continued to play the trick.
"Mr. Yata, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this incident. In order to keep it secret, I did not notify the Japanese side. I also gave strict orders to the brothers so that they must complete the task satisfactorily. Therefore, they did not know how to act diplomatically and offended.
However, Mr. Yata please rest assured that Zhang definitely has no ill intentions towards the Japanese side."
Yata barely suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, the problem now is to find out what happened to the anti-Japanese organization in Korea. If it is true, it will prove that you are sincere in helping Japan. We are still friends.
What misunderstandings can be resolved? If we discover that the Korean resistance is a lie weaved by you, the Japanese Empire is definitely not easy to bully. I will also ask the Kwantung Army and Tokyo to take decisive measures against Commander Zhang and you.
I can't control the consequences of punishment by my subordinates."
Zhang Zuolin nodded quickly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yata, we will hand over the evidence to you right away. I would never dare to deceive the Japanese government on such a big matter."
While talking, Zhang Zuoxiang also came over: "Commander, since there is a misunderstanding between us and the Japanese side, then I think the few Japanese captured during the operation are also very likely to be a misunderstanding, and because of this misunderstanding, Nishimura Colonel
They led the army to intercept us, and there was a conflict between the two sides."
Lao Zhang glared and said sternly: "Now that you know you were wrong, why don't you release these Japanese friends quickly?"
Zhang Zuoxiang hurriedly ordered to bring Kawashima Naniwa and Miki over. Miki was fine yet, but Kawashima Naniwa's front teeth were kicked out by Zhang Tinglan. Now his lips were swollen to the size of a sausage, and he looked extremely miserable.
"Mr. Yata, for your sake, we let them go, but I also have a few words to say that they have contact with Park In-yong, and Park In-yong is the biggest suspect of the anti-Japanese organization. There is a close relationship between them. Maybe it is
Kawashima was deceived by Park In-yong, or maybe they had bad intentions. Mr. Yata, please don't let your guard down just because they are Japanese." When Zhang Zuoxiang returned to Kawashima, he solemnly reminded Yata.
It was not convenient for Kawashima to speak now, so he could only stare at Zhang Zuoxiang with eyes full of resentment, while Miki said loudly: "Mr. Yata, they are talking nonsense, Mr. Park serves the empire, and we are aware of all his actions.
How can it be against Japan?"
Miki said this in desperation, undoubtedly telling the truth about Park In-yong. This guy was indeed a dog raised by the Japanese. Yata on the side glared at Miki fiercely and told him to shut up.
Zhang Zuolin understood in his heart, but he still smiled on his face: "There is an old saying in China that knows the person but does not know the heart. What happened to Park Renyong needs to be carefully investigated. Don't worry, a conclusion will be drawn soon. I'll take my leave now.
." Zhang Zuolin led a large group of troops and escorted the loot back to Fengtian in a grand manner.
The location where the Feng army and the Japanese army were fighting was not far from Fengtian City. Many people who got up early saw it. Although they did not dare to get close, they also discovered that the 27th Division was fighting with the Japanese soldiers with real swords and guns, and
In the end, it seemed that the 27th Division had taken advantage. The news spread quickly throughout Fengtian, and everyone who heard the news was very excited.
At this time, Liu Shucheng was talking with a pair of brothers and sisters. They were Liu Shucheng's distant relatives and the real owners of the land of Shengyun Villa.
"Brother, according to what you said, Master Zhang is really a capable and capable person. Even the Japanese have to suffer in front of him. I really look forward to meeting a young hero like him." Qiao Ruixuan said with emotion.
