The Republic of Heroes

The student group of the Shandong Security Force marched forward triumphantly all the way, ending Zhang Zongchang's rule on the front line of the Jiaoji Railway like a shattered one.Seeing that he was powerless, Zhang Zongchang abandoned his army and fled to Qingdao alone, asking the Japanese authorities for asylum.However, the Japanese authorities in Qingdao believed that he had lost all his army and territory, and that he had lost his use value. Moreover, his reputation was so bad that the Shandong provincial government had declared him a war criminal and issued an arrest warrant.Not only is there no benefit in taking this person in now, but it will cause a whole body of trouble.

Zhang Zongchang turned around in Qingdao and was driven back to Jimo. When he learned that the troops stationed in Jiao County had defected to Wu Xiaoliang, he was furious. After a burst of crazy curses, he fell into deep fear again.Because his former subordinates had already taken refuge in Wu Xiaoliang and helped him to besiege Jimo.The betrayal of relatives and relatives was in front of him, and despair filled his heart at a loss in an instant.Thinking back to more than ten years ago, Wu Xiaoliang was just a small person in Jinchuan Street. With his own strength, he could be eliminated like a bedbug by just moving his fingers casually.But at that time, Wu Xiaoliang, who was so different, beat himself to a complete defeat, and in the end it was his momentary soft-heartedness that escaped his life.

Today, there is still a huge gap in strength, Zhang Zongchang is jealous after all, on the surface he supports all the decrees of Wu Xiaoliang with both hands, but in fact he has engaged in countless small tricks in private, tearing down the stage and digging the wall.However, in the end, he was beaten miserably. I am afraid that after this defeat, he will never have the power to recover in this life.Can't help but sigh:

"Since Shengyu, He Shengliang?"

Of course, Zhang Zongchang is not Zhou Yu, and Wu Xiaoliang is not Zhuge Liang.Therefore, after expressing the above sentiments, Zhang Zongchang put on makeup and fled to Weihai, where he planned to board a ship and flee to Fengtian, where he went to seek refuge with his little six son Zhang Xueliang. There was a little bit of friction, but he believed that Zhang Xueliang was nostalgic and would take him in after all.

Whether Zhang Xueliang can take in Zhang Zongchang is another story. After Wu Xiaoliang completely defeated the Zhang family in Jiaodong, he strictly ordered the student army to stop in Jimo and not to approach Qingdao.During the Republic of China, Qingdao was not directly under the Shandong provincial government, but was equivalent to a municipality directly under the central government in later generations and was occupied by the Japanese army alone.Wu Xiaoliang's move was also to prevent the Japanese army from taking the opportunity to provoke and create disputes, which would make the Jinan negotiations worse.

Wu Xiaoliang set off for Jinan on November 25. During this period, news came that Han Fuju was besieging the remnant of Zhang Zongchang in Surabaya. He sent a telegram on the Jiaoji Railway to order the security brigade to go south to Linqu to take Yishui and Zhucheng, and completely wiped out Zhang Zongchang's entrenched forces in Surabaya. The remnants of Lunan.

On the 27th, Wu Xiaoliang's special train arrived in Jinan.He stopped outside Lin Xiang's gate, but saw that the city wall was mottled and the gate tower was broken, as if the gunpowder smoke had not cleared away. He seemed to see that the National Revolutionary Army was indomitable on the city, resisting the shameless invasion of the Japanese invaders with insignificant strength, and fighting against the shameless Japanese invaders with their flesh and blood. Withstood the heavy Japanese artillery.Suddenly, tears welled up in my eyes.

Jiang's national government has always advertised to expel foreign aggressors, but when faced with the brazen threat of the Japanese army, it still unconsciously chose the policy of repelling foreign aggressors first.He was afraid that the Japanese would interfere with the National Revolutionary Army's advance to Beijing, and that he would fail at the last moment of completely eradicating the Beiyang government, so he chose to compromise and give in, and he also chose to pin his shame on his diary, deep in his soul.

Wu Xiaoliang knows how unrealistic it is to avenge the 6123 Jinan soldiers and civilians who died tragically under the current conditions of a weak country and a weak people. This negotiation is bound to be an extremely asymmetrical one.In his previous life, the KMT government was humiliated by the negotiations on the issue of the Japanese army in Jinan.The Nationalist Government proposed that the Japanese army did not need to compensate for the losses, but only needed an apology from them.Even such a simple condition was still unreasonably rejected by Japan.Only the unfortunate incident in Jinan has become a thing of the past, and the people are perfunctorily prevaricated with the words of friendship between the two countries.What kind of humiliation is this?Weak countries have no diplomacy, this statement is really true!

There was no one on the Guanxiang Street outside Lin Xiangmen. Wu Xiaoliang ordered people to buy wine, cooked meat, and incense candles to burn incense at the ruins to worship the heroes who died in the battle that day.

Wu Xiaoliang's journey to Jinan this time was not peaceful, so he brought almost a group of troops, and besides the former Fengjun gendarmerie, most of the outstanding soldiers who followed him were selected from the student army. The combat power is second to none among the Shandong security forces, and they are all arrogant soldiers. They already hated the Japanese extremely, but when they saw the Japanese provoking, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupted uncontrollably.

Both China and Japan are loaded with bullets, and the crowd is excited. The situation is already hovering on the verge of misfire.If, as soon as the gunshots are fired, there is no need to continue the talks. I am afraid that the only way left for China and Japan in Shandong is to fight this way.

Wu Xiaoliang could not and would not see this kind of situation no matter what. He immediately ordered the officers to restrain his subordinates, trying to be justified and well-founded, neither humble nor overbearing. After all, this visit is not to provoke a war. If the gun goes off, the good situation in Shandong may be turned into a pot of rotten porridge.

Obviously, the Japanese side was unwilling to have a conflict with the Chinese at this time, so they tried their best to restrain themselves until they were stopped by a Japanese lieutenant general, and then they put their guns away and lined up on both sides of the road.

The lieutenant general of the Japanese army was furious. Facing the conflicting soldiers, he yelled and scolded the soldiers in Japanese, and then lined up the crowd and came to Wu Xiaoliang. With his hands on his thighs, he straightened his body, bowed deeply, and said, "I think this person It is General Wu, who is famous all over China, and I have admired him for a long time! The hotel is ready, please follow me into the city, and the army has prepared a grand welcome banquet for you, which can be regarded as a token of the friendship of the landlord."

He was not polite when he said this. He was one of the captains of the Japanese army when they were defeated in Suidong. The shock at that time is still vivid in my memory. For Wu Xiaoliang's coming to Jinan to preside over the negotiations on behalf of China, a trace of pride and complacency arose in his heart that outsiders could not detect. What kind of honor is it that the invincible General China actually sat down to negotiate with him because of defeat?

This person was Hikosuke Fukuda, head of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jinan.

Wu Xiaoliang returned the military salute with a sneer: "You come here uninvited, and the doves occupy the magpie's nest. How can you say that you are a landlord? The general's kindness is hard to obey. Wu will not go to the city tonight, and the general is welcome!"

Immediately, he gave another false salute, ignored Fukuda Hikosuke, and left with his subordinates.

Fukuda Yansuke put his face on his cold butt, and stood on the spot in embarrassment, his face turned red and white for a while.
