The political arena is the most ruthless and snobbish place. When Zhang Tinglan, with the majesty of victory, aspired to the Central Plains, countless people flocked to the place, fearing that they would not be regarded as Conglong heroes. However, after the murder, in just a few days,
As time passed, public opinion changed drastically, and some elders seemed to see Zhang Tinglan's shortcomings.
Such a young man may be able to fight wars and have some ability to manage local areas, but when he actually reaches the center and is asked to handle domestic and international issues, he seems immature and reckless. With this kind of thinking, some shrewd people will naturally want to change the front office quickly.
Of course, there is also British instigation, in short, it is necessary to create comprehensive pressure on Zhang Tinglan. Aston knows very well that Zhang Tinglan is more powerful than Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui and others, but he does not believe that this young man has the ability.
Coping with pressure from so many directions.
But the reality was still beyond his expectation. Zhang Tinglan's attitude was beyond his imagination. To reach this point and still not bow his head, he was either a madman or he had something to rely on. Aston was also a little confused.
In fact, Zhang Tinglan was not as relaxed as she imagined. Looking at Eston's back, the veins on the back of Zhang Tinglan's hands were also exposed, and she was obviously extremely angry.
"A bunch of people who follow the trend are just like frost on the roof! Mr. Shaochuan, this is just an opportunity to clear out all those half-hearted guys from the team. It's better to have less than indiscriminately!"
Tang Shaoyi was also very angry and nodded: "Don't worry, Zhu Yan, these wallflowers will definitely not end well."
The topic changed, and Tang Shaoyi asked again: "I'd like to say that it's urgent right now. Are you sure you can get through this hurdle? It's been eight days since the incident. We controlled the public opinion at the beginning, and there hasn't been too much news.
Many. But in the past two days, demonstrations have appeared in various places, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and the wave of strikes on schools and markets in various places is about to begin. If it doesn’t work well, I’m afraid it will be even more terrifying than the May 4th Movement!”
Zhang Tinglan nodded: "Yes, there is indeed not much time left for us, but I am confident that the final victory will definitely belong to us!"
While Zhang Tinglan was speaking, he took out a program from under his hand and sent it to Tang Shaoyi. Tang Shaoyi didn't understand what it was at first, but after taking a second look, his face suddenly changed and his hands began to tremble.
"I'm sorry, are you trying to learn from Italy?"
Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly: "Mr. Shaochuan, you must also know how difficult it is for China to do something practical right now. The National Fascist Party in Italy has just seized power. I think this is a way. To be honest, I have secretly
Four divisions have been mobilized, and if I are forced to a dead end, the only way out will be a river of blood."
Listening to Zhang Tinglan's calm and emotionless words, Tang Shaoyi's heart was filled with turmoil. He did not expect that Zhang Tinglan's will would be so determined, and he was even ready to go on a killing spree.
"My humble words. You should think twice. Once you get to this point, there will be no room for maneuver!"
What Tang Shaoyi said is absolutely correct. After a large-scale use of force, the school community will definitely collapse. The local princes will only have the option of forceful unification. In addition, it will be difficult to ease the relationship between the great powers. At that time, there will really be only one option.
Despite the pressure from the whole world, we have to move forward with difficulty, and we can only establish military authoritarian rule, or even establish a fascist system.
These have completely conflicted with Tang Shaoyi's political ideas, and the little old man has also fallen into unprecedented contradictions.
"Mr. Shaochuan, I want to know if you are still willing to support me when this is the only way left!"
"Me!" Tang Shaoyi was speechless and her mind went blank.
At this embarrassing moment, Chang Yinhuai ran in with a smile on his face and said: "Commander, Zuo Chengpeng has been caught!"
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he suddenly stood up, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly asked: "Is there anything else gained?"
"Yes, according to his confession, there was a missionary school affiliated with the United Kingdom that was a spy nest, and he came out of it. This mission was also instigated by the missionary school behind the scenes, and the gunman was also sent from there!"
"Director Chang, since you know this, why don't you take action?" Tang Shaoyi also recovered at this time, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
In just one moment, the fate of many people was decided. If Chang Yinhuai hadn't brought the good news, China's fate would have changed. However, he was also a little worried. The problem that Zhang Tinglan had just now was still there.
It echoed in my ears, but I didn’t come up with an answer!
"Action has been taken, but the task of arresting him has been handed over to the military police and special forces, who will take direct action."
There is a reason for Chang Yinhuai's arrangement. Capturing Zuo Chengpeng has resolved Zhang Tinglan's crisis, which is a huge contribution. If he doesn't even share a little soup with others, it would be unreasonable, and the British
This missionary school is also a tough one, and the combat effectiveness of his men is still a little bit low. It will be smoother to let the special forces and military police handle it.
Zhang Tinglan's face also showed a long-lost smile. At this moment, Wang Yizhe hurriedly walked in again.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, a large group of university teachers and students, as well as a large number of people, a total of two to three thousand people, are surrounding the military camp, demanding that we release Cai Yuanpei and all students. The number is still increasing."
"Cai Yuanpei?" Zhang Tinglan immediately looked confused: "When did we arrest Cai Yuanpei? Isn't this a joke?"
Tang Shaoyi said hurriedly: "Cai Yuanpei is asking those students about the case. I guess there may be a misunderstanding behind this."
"No matter what, the initiative is now in our hands. Let's go over and take a look. Fortunately, we will lift the lid and let the world see who does the right thing."
…
Cai Yuanpei had been looking at the files for four or five hours, and then asked the students one by one.
"I am your principal. Don't be afraid. Are your confessions sincere? Did Zhang Tinglan send someone to force you to say this? Tell the principal the truth. I will risk my life to get justice for you.
Justice, clearing grievances!”
A male student seemed to be numb. After listening to Cai Yuanpei's words, his eyes suddenly popped out of his eyes and he cried loudly: "Principal, I'm confused. I shouldn't be deceived. Why should others give money? Do they really have such good intentions? They are just taking advantage.
We are just new to the world, we have all been treated as guns, principal, why don't you remind us?"
Facing the students' questions, Cai Yuanpei suddenly felt like the world was falling apart. As a teacher, he didn't even notice that someone was taking advantage of his students. Isn't this a huge dereliction of duty?
Thinking of those students who died tragically, who should be held responsible, is it Zhang Tinglan? But if he doesn't take decisive action and the students scatter in all directions, I'm afraid the truth will be hidden forever, and the mastermind behind the scenes will never be found out.
Should we blame these students? We shouldn't. They are young and full of enthusiasm. Most of them are doing good for this country. There is nothing wrong with that. So whose fault is it?
Thinking of this, Cai Yuanpei suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Zhang Taiyan's words rang in his ears again: Academic freedom has become a shelter for evil and evil, and inclusiveness has become a protective umbrella for outsiders to intervene and control!
So where are the educational concepts he believes in? What are his political demands? In the past, when facing the Beiyang government, Cai Yuanpei was confident and confident, but when he really bumped into Zhang Tinglan, Cai Yuanpei felt bloody and broken.
He just felt depressed for a while and fell to the ground without knowing anything.
When Cai Yuanpei woke up again, he found himself lying on the hospital bed, and a doctor had just finished examining him.
My mind was still groggy when I suddenly heard waves of shouts outside like a tide.
"Release Principal Cai and severely punish the murderer!"
"Achieve dictatorship and overthrow military rule!"
"Give me my freedom, give me my dignity!"
…
"What's going on?"
"What else can happen? Teachers and students from Beijing have come to rescue Principal Cai. It seems that Mr. Cai is indeed of high prestige and respected by others."
The doctor said this, but he did not mean any respect. As a talent trained by Fengtian, he was absolutely loyal to Zhang Tinglan. Their family fled to the Northeast a few years ago, and both sisters starved to death on the road.
At that time, being able to have a mouthful of porridge was already a huge blessing, so how could you expect anything else?
But not only did he study, but he also studied medicine and became a military doctor. He changed before and after, as if he had lived in another world. If he didn't know how to be grateful, he would be worse than a pig or a dog.
At this time, Cai Yuanpei ignored the teasing in the doctor's tone and hurriedly struggled to sit up, saying in a panic: "Let me out quickly, I can't make any more mistakes!"
Cai Yuanpei struggled out of the ward. By this time, the confrontation outside was already very fierce. Thousands of students demonstrating had completely blocked the front of the military camp. They kept shouting slogans and waving flags in their hands.
The military camp was also heavily guarded, with black muzzles pointed at these students. As long as they gave the order, they would kill them on the spot again.
At this time, a large number of stones and debris were suddenly thrown from the parade, and they were thrown towards the guard troops. One soldier's head immediately started to bleed.
The soldier immediately put his finger on the trigger. As long as he pressed it, there would be blood on the street again. Yu Xuezhong, who was in charge of the command, suddenly raised the muzzle of the gun and fired three times.
"This is the final warning, don't challenge the patience of the military!"
Several students immediately started clamoring again: "Humph, come and kill people if you have the ability. Anyway, you have done all kinds of evil, and you don't have any burden if you kill a few people."
"Shut up!" At this time, Cai Yuanpei had stumbled out. When he saw this situation, the old man's eyes turned red: "You idiots have been played by others, don't you know?" (
