With a stroke of his pen, Zhang Tinglan signed the check and sent it to Yoshida Shigeru's eyes. At this time, the color on Yoshida Shigeru's face had reached the extreme, changing from red to white, and from white to black, like a chameleon.
Zhang Tinglan didn't care about his expression, and said as if he suddenly realized: "Mr. Yoshida Shigeru, the ronin of your country smashed a tavern, destroyed a lot of public property along the way, and seriously disturbed social order, so a fine is required.
It’s not much, just 18,000 yuan, just deduct it from this, and please take the remaining 2,000 yuan back to convey my condolences to the deceased and wish them to return to their hometown.”
Listening to Zhang Tinglan's words, Yoshida Shigeru felt as if he was going to explode with anger. They had planned carefully to have more than twenty soldiers pretend to be ronin to attack the Feng army in order to provoke conflicts between the two sides. Moreover, he deliberately
Using 2,000 yuan to humiliate Feng Jun, according to our previous understanding of Zhang Tinglan, he would definitely explode immediately and get up to fight with the Japanese.
Once you do this, you will play into Yoshida Shigeru's plan. In fact, with the Fengjun's victory in the Far East, the expansionists represented by the Japanese Military Ministry have begun to formulate a plan to go to war with Fengjun and encourage the government to attack Fengjun as soon as possible. However,
It is not easy to make up one's mind for such a large-scale battle, and there are also a large number of anti-war voices in Japan.
Especially since Emperor Taisho ascended the throne, the trend of democratization has developed rapidly, putting great pressure on the elders and the military. At this time, the Fengjun army was induced to confront Japan, and the tense atmosphere was used to suppress domestic voices and provide support for external expansion.
convenient.
The Japanese made a series of plans to provoke a confrontation between China and Japan. The attack on Liu Guiwu and the others was just the beginning. But this beginning was a big hit. Last night, the Feng army went out in large numbers. Ten people were killed, and another
There are still more than twenty injured people lying in the hospital receiving treatment.
Feng Jun's group of soldiers were very cruel, and most of the wounded were disabled. Listening to the wailing of the wounded, it was like a blow to the head, hitting the Japanese hard, and their plan was facing failure from the beginning.
situation.
Yoshida Shigeru stared at the two thousand yuan check on the table, as if it was a sharp knife stabbing his heart, causing him to bleed in pain. They originally wanted to anger Feng Jun. Then they would hype it up and do something to them.
He said that this was the most ideal result. However, Zhang Tinglan did not follow the routine and defeated the Japanese army.
It is impossible for Fengjun to rashly start a war for one life, and it is also impossible for the Japanese to fight Fengjun for ten lives. Especially since the main force of Fengjun has not taken action, and the two to three hundred thousand tiger and wolf troops are enough for the Japanese to stake all their wealth.
, they obviously don’t have the courage.
But without the threat of war, the slap was too painful. Yoshida Shigeru's eyes turned blood red. He suddenly stood up from his seat and glared at Zhang Tinglan fiercely.
"Inspector Zhang. Do you really want to challenge Japan's bottom line?"
Zhang Tinglan looked calm and said nonchalantly: "Mr. Yoshida, you have lost the basic qualities of a diplomat. International affairs pay attention to examples. I handled the matter in front of me completely according to the way you Japanese do things.
But you are saying evil things. The Chinese have a saying that they have the face of a human and the heart of an animal, but now you have the face of an animal and the heart of an animal. Your appearance is abominable, and God does not welcome you!"
As soon as Zhang Tinglan said you are not welcome, Yoshida Shigeru was dumbfounded. Diplomatic language is very particular. Once these words appear, it means that you must get out of Fengtian within forty-eight hours. It is equivalent to asking diplomats
Obtaining an expulsion order is much more serious than killing a few people.
Yoshida Shigeru's lips were trembling with anger, and he couldn't say a word. He turned around and left the handsome man's house. Looking at Yoshida Shigeru's back, Zhang Tinglan showed a proud smile on his face. For the diplomats of these great powers, he
I was already very disgusted.
Diplomacy adheres to the principle of reciprocity, but the great powers rely on their own status. The ministers and consuls general regard themselves as emperors and point fingers at China's leaders, which is a great insult to China's dignity.
In the past, he did not have that strength, but now Zhang Tinglan wants to set rules from the Japanese and expel Shigeru Yoshida, forcing the Japanese to send officials with equal status to solve the problem. This is how the dignity of the country is won.
"I would like to put it bluntly, first you killed someone and then expelled Shigeru Yoshida, which is equivalent to slapping the Japanese twice. Aren't you worried about them taking retaliatory measures?"
Zhang Zuoxiang came out from behind, sat across from Zhang Tinglan, and asked with a hint of worry: "I'd like to say that there is still a big gap in strength between us and the Japanese. As the saying goes, a small impatience will ruin a big plan. In your heart
You have to weigh the pros and cons!”
"Dad, you always reminded me well. It is true that there is a gap in strength between us and the Japanese. It is equivalent to getting a bad hand of cards. As for the Japanese, the cards may be better than ours. But when we sit on the card table, we have to
Don't be timid in your battle of wits and courage with them."
Zhang Zuoxiang listened to this and nodded: "I understand. It turns out that the Chinese can't get on the card table at all and can only let others fish. Now that they have defeated the Russians, they have the opportunity to squeeze into the card table and fight against the Japanese."
The way is no longer the same!”
Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "Dad, you are right. On the poker table, there are not only us and Japan, but also Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries. The Japanese are currently engaging in a naval arms race with the United States and Britain. One warship can surpass two
They don’t have much energy to fight us for the cost of ten divisions.”
When Zhang Zuoxiang heard this, he was completely relieved and said with emotion: "I have to say that times have changed. People of my generation are old and can't keep up with the times. I am ready to resign from the post of patrol envoy and devote myself to
Treat your grandson with joy."
"Dad, my son is still young, and you still have to make the final decision on some big things. You can't resign!"
Zhang Zuoxiang waved his hand without hesitation, sighed and said: "When you were young, you had a dull and cowardly temperament, and you didn't look like a person who could stand up in the family. I admire Tingshu from the bottom of my heart. But in the past few years, you seem to have enlightened yourself.
, in everything you do, you think far ahead, have strategies, and have better means than dad. The three eastern provinces can have the current foundation, and more than half of the credit is on you. Dad is relieved to see how far it can be in the future.
It all depends on your management."
To be honest, Zhang Zuoxiang didn't take care of things much anymore, but when he heard that he really wanted to resign and leave everything to himself, Zhang Tinglan felt a little disappointed and wanted to persuade Zhang Zuoxiang.
But Zhang Zuoxiang waved his hand and stopped him: "To be honest, dad is not too old. Wu Peifu is five years older than me. I have completely retired. I don't really want to be the father-in-law of the apartment. I usually coax my granddaughter.
Your second brother’s marriage has also been arranged. Then I am also planning to invest in education and build more schools. My father was born in a poor family and has never studied for a few days in his life. I deeply regret it. Now that I have the conditions, I can do well.
Meaningful things.”
When Zhang Tinglan saw that his father had decided to leave, he didn't say anything more. He picked up the cigarette bag and silently helped his father fill a bag of cigarettes. After a while, the familiar smell of tobacco filled the living room.
…
The Japanese killed one Fengjun, and ten Japanese were killed that day. This quickly became the headlines of major newspapers. After the Chinese saw this result, they all gave Fengjun a thumbs up. It was indeed enough
Cruel, one life must be exchanged for ten lives. When will the Chinese have such dignity and treatment?
From now on, let’s see which great powers dare to run rampant on China’s territory. Whatever you do, you have to think about this, be careful not to get your head knocked off. People everywhere hold their chests high when they walk.
Yes, when I meet foreigners, I no longer have any fear, and my energy and spirit are all lifted up.
Everyone in the Fengjun army was also angry. Lan Shuai's prestige in everyone's hearts increased a lot. The Japanese suffered a dumb loss, people were killed, diplomats were expelled, and all their dignity was lost.
They can only keep saying harsh words.
But the more fierce they shouted, the happier the Chinese people were. The little devil finally suffered a loss. He finally knew it hurt. How could everyone be unhappy!
Zhang Tinglan has handed over the current quarrel lawsuit to Gu Weijun, and he has set his sights on the south again. Sun Wen's party will always be a serious problem in the future and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
While Fengtian was having trouble with the Japanese, Wu Peifu had already led his army across Shaoguan and headed south, approaching Guangzhou City.
The Democratic Party in the city was also at a critical moment of life and death. Sun Wen was on pins and needles in the very presidential palace, frightened three times a day. Just when he was planning to escape again, Wang Jingwei suddenly came to him.
"Prime Minister, what a great joy. Japanese friends have agreed to provide support!"
When Sun Wen heard this, he quickly stood up from his seat and received a secret telegram. The person who sent the telegram was Tou Shanman. This guy is the elder of the Black Dragon Society. He is a hawk dog raised by the Japanese military and has a close relationship with Sun Wen.
Secretly, Sun Wen has received a lot of help from Tou Shanman since the Tongmenghui period.
However, in recent years, the Japanese felt that Sun Wen's value had decreased, so they abandoned him on their own initiative. But now they sent Sun Wen a secret message, which made him ecstatic.
After opening the telegram, Sun Wen read a few lines and became extremely happy. He couldn't help but read out: "The Empire of Japan is sympathetic to the Chinese revolution and is willing to provide 5 million military expenditures and 10,000 rifles.
, twenty field guns, ten million rounds of ammunition, twenty thousand artillery shells, and several machine guns and mortars!"
When the other backbones of the Democratic Party heard these things, their eyes widened with eagerness. The Japanese could provide so many things, and they finally had a little hope.
Hu Hanmin said with a smile: "Prime Minister, I think the Japanese can provide these things because of the stupidity of that guy Zhang Tinglan. He actually indulged his subordinates and killed ten Japanese. This made the Japanese determined to help us!"
Wang Jingwei also smiled and said: "Yes, with Japan's support, we have hope. The top priority now is to get the equipment and quickly deal with the situation at hand." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome.
