May 13, Monday, Peking. The weather is good today, the sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is blowing, which makes many people feel better.
At noon, students from Tsinghua University filed out of the classroom holding books. Many of them looked around unconsciously and were about to shout to their friends and roommates to have dinner together later. When they saw a few armed soldiers, they suddenly felt a strange atmosphere.
.
The soldiers are very young. They are wearing crisp new military uniforms, a rifle with a bayonet shining coldly, and a wise and determined look in their eyes. These all show that they come from a well-trained army.
"What happened?"
"Didn't all the national troops withdraw from Peiping?"
"Hey, isn't that Chu Tiange from so-and-so class?"
"Isn't it Chu Tiange?" Someone who knew him immediately shouted, and then carefully looked at this schoolmate who had been missing for more than two weeks. He was wearing a straight lieutenant uniform, with a brand new holster on his armed belt.
He was explaining something to the classmates around him. The students gathered around him with doubts and gradually understood what was going on.
It turned out that Chu Tiange's deception was not due to family emergencies or physical illness, but to joining the cadet corps of the 29th Army.
Some students who have studied the 29th Army, the "anti-Japanese vanguard" force, couldn't help but ask: "Student Corps? Is there such an organization in the 29th Army?"
The classmate who had just learned something about Chu Tiange frowned, glanced sideways at him, and began to show off proudly: "I don't know, I heard about the newly established 'North China Autonomy' that caused a lot of noise in the past few days.
Right? They were the ones who were thwarted. Even Shi Yousan was caught by them. No, there will be a public trial on the playground of our school."
"Oh?!" The enthusiasm of the students was aroused, and some of them suddenly realized, "It turns out that the 'North China Autonomy' was carried out by the third group of friends! These traitors really deserve to be killed! Let's go and take a look!"
"Go and have a look!"
The students gathered in twos and threes and flowed towards the playground.
On the playground, a large or small banner was hung on the cement rostrum, which read: A public trial meeting for the traitor "Shi Yousan" and others. Under the banner were several tables and chairs. Li Tieshu, Chen Shichang and an old man with a white beard were sitting there.
There were microphones on the chairs and tables, and a large speaker on the bamboo poles on both sides of the banner. Twelve cadets wearing brand-new military uniforms lined up behind them, and between each two people stood a pair of hands.
Bound prisoner.
Under the rostrum, there was a row of old men sitting in robes or mandarin jackets. Most of them had white beards and hair. They looked like they were either celebrities or gentlemen. Behind the sitters, there was a dense crowd of people. Most of them were students, but
There are also some people who are walking around and selling soldiers.
On the edge of the playground, there was a circle of cadets, about fifty in total. They were all loaded with guns and ammunition, and they were not squinting. They were obviously maintaining order in the venue.
Seeing that the students were entering the playground a little slowly, Chen Shichang remembered Ouyang Yun's emphasis on a quick decision. He stood up, grabbed the microphone and said, "Hurry up, students, the public trial of the third-class traitor of my friend will start in three minutes!"
Li Tieshu looked back at Shi Yousan behind him, and then at the gentlemen and celebrities sitting beside and below him. Seeing that most of them looked serious, he suddenly wanted to laugh - he felt that Ouyang Yun was a little fooling around -
The administration of Tsinghua University was not willing to rent out this venue at all, and none of these gentlemen and celebrities came willingly. However, in the face of the dark guns and naked threats of the students: Anyone who does not cooperate is sympathizing with the stone thieves and traitors.
, suspected of treason! None of these celebrities can be tough.
Li Tieshu initially thought that he had gone too far, and was worried that the Xue Corps would be known as abusing power. He expressed this concern to Ouyang Yun, who smiled and said disapprovingly: "What's wrong with power? I just want to use power to tell those wallflowers
We, the Xue Corps will never be merciful when dealing with traitors, and they will always be greeted with an iron fist!"
Li Tieshu couldn't defeat him, so he had to obey the order and come to control the situation as the "second in command" of the Xue Corps.
The term "second in command" naturally came from Ouyang Yun's mouth. Li Tieshu didn't want to come. He was reserved and believed that his age was not suitable for accompanying the cadets to fool around. As a result, Ouyang Yun suppressed him as a "second in command"
He said: "No, you have to go. Shi Yousan is an old man from the Northwest Army. If we don't put him to death as soon as possible and wait for Commander Song and a bunch of old people from the Northwest Army to come over, there will be no chance. Shichang and Tiange are too young. They are so old.
I don't worry about the situation without you. This is a unified action of the corps. As the second-in-command of the corps, how can you get away from it? I will handle it from Commander Song. Well, when your side starts at noon, I will
Give him a call and tell him that Shi Yousan has been dealt with. This is called killing first and reporting later, haha!"
The public trial was held as scheduled. Ouyang Yun and the others carefully selected six typical traitors. The gangsters were all well-known. As Chu Tiange named them one by one, people on the playground began to exclaim: It turns out to be so-and-so.
, he also has today?...
As the convener of the "Beiping Autonomy", Shi Yousan was naturally the first to be named. Although Chen Shichang was young and was working as a judge for the first time, he was quite powerful. He first asked the old man around him to announce the start of the public trial, and then captured Shi Yousan.
He briefly described what happened to the others, and then shouted sternly: "Take my friend San!"
The two students who escorted Shi Yousan brought Shi Yousan to the rostrum and took away the walnuts stuffed in his mouth. Shi Yousan gained the freedom to speak, and immediately changed his dejected look and shouted: "Why are you arresting me?"
?I am the Yidong Security Commander, officially appointed by the National Government..."
Chen Shichang was on guard against this move and interrupted him contemptuously: "Just because you colluded with the Japanese and wanted to separate the ancient city of Peking from Chinese soil, isn't that enough?"
"Who said I colluded with the Japanese? Everyone." Shi Yousan's eyes passed over the faces of celebrities and gentlemen one by one, and he shouted: "Who doesn't know that in this troubled world, whoever has a gun can speak loudly? Now I
If someone is arrested by you, why don't you just say whatever you want? If you want to accuse me, why bother? I marched into Peiping, but I was just afraid that the national army had just withdrawn, and I was worried that I would take the opportunity to cause chaos."
What he said was quite pertinent. During the war between the domestic warlords, there were constant wars in Peiping. It was true that whoever had a gun could speak loudly. The celebrities and gentlemen secretly exchanged glances, and they were convinced.
Li Tieshu had been silently watching the reaction of the audience. Seeing this, he glanced at Chen Shichang. Chen Shichang nodded and shouted in a deep voice: "Send it up!"
Soon, the two students placed a letter and a lot of tattered clothes on the table. The letter and clothes were covered in blood and smelled bad. Many gentlemen were confused and frowned.
.
Chen Shichang handed the letter to the white-bearded old man beside him and said: "Mr. Liu, this is an order signed by Sakai Takashi, the chief of staff of the Japanese army's North China garrison, to his subordinate Akita." He pointed to the pile of clothes, "These clothes are all
Although the Japanese soldiers who died in battle were wearing civilian clothes, their shirts were of a style and fabric unique to the Japanese army." Then he said to the audience: "Who knows Japanese can come on stage to confirm and see what this order actually is.
."
Shi Yousan's expression changed. Forget about the pile of bloody clothes, he knew the order. He didn't expect Akita to keep him on his body, and coincidentally, he was searched by the corps. At this time, he
Having learned about the affiliation of the Xue Corps, he was unwilling to be destroyed and immediately howled: "I want to see Song Zheyuan, you little soldiers have no right to judge me!"
When he behaved like this, the blind man also knew that what Chen Shichang said was true, and many people's minds immediately changed - it's okay for your friend San to want to be a warlord in Peking. After all, you are also Chinese, but you colluded with the Japanese
If you want to control Peiping, you are betraying your country and must not be allowed!
Chen Shichang didn't need to say anything. The students in the audience first roared: "Execute the traitor!" Then, some shoes, textbooks and other things were thrown onto the stage.
Shi Yousan immediately turned into a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.
The next thing was much simpler. After Chen Shichang read out Shi Yousan's crime, he sentenced him to death on behalf of all the citizens of Peiping, and then had him dragged onto a truck.
At this time, the remaining five traitors and the gangster leader were frightened. Many of them fell to the ground and shouted injustice without waiting for Chen Shichang to call his name. Some said that they had been deceived by their third friend and had no idea what was going on;
He said he didn’t know there were Japanese people in the team...
Regarding the treatment of these five people, Li Tieshu, Chen Shichang and Ouyang Yun did not agree on the same opinion. They believed that as long as they killed the third friend, they would serve as a warning, and the rest of them would be released. Ouyang Yun insisted.
He said that they must all be killed in order to really act as a deterrent, because from now on the 29th Army will be on the border with little Japan. If we don’t do something hard now, when the Japanese extend their tentacles, the traitors might as well cross the river.
Throw it in like a crucian carp!
They failed to convince Ouyang Yun, but they themselves were convinced by him. As a result, none of the five people could escape the fate of being shot.
As Shi Yousan and others were shot at Caishikou, the public trial ended successfully. The student corps stole the show with their guns and the evidence in their hands. At Ouyang Yun's deliberate request, the student corps annihilated more than 200 Japanese troops at the Tianjin garrison.
His glorious deeds have also spread among teachers and students in major schools in Peking, making joining the army the first ideal place for students after graduation.
Almost at the same time that Shi Yousan and others were shot, Ouyang Yun called Song Zheyuan and reported the actions of the Xue Corps in Wancun, as well as the public trial of Shi Yousan and others.
Sure enough, as he expected, when Song Zheyuan heard that he wanted to put the third friend of his friends to trial, he immediately stopped him and emphasized again and again: You can't kill the third friend of yours!
"Military seat!" Ouyang Yun on the other end of the phone was secretly laughing, but his tone was a bit uneasy, and he said slowly: "I'm afraid Shi Yousan is dead."
"What?!" Song Zheyuan's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became louder, and Ouyang Yun almost saw him jumping three feet high, "Nonsense! Why didn't you inform me in advance? You still have me as the commander of the army in your eyes.
?"
Ouyang Yun was silent, but the corner of his mouth was completely grinned. The more Song Zheyuan did this, the more he showed that he had indeed taken the right step. He pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Military, there is nothing I can do. They colluded with the Japanese and fought.
Seven of our brothers have died, and the students are excited, and I can't stop it, alas!"
