    Because the People's Party Military Commission has largely replaced Jiang Baili's responsibilities as the General Counsel, without the title of Zhang Zuolin's number one adviser, Jiang Baili will inevitably rely on the position of director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, which has been replaced by the General Armament Department.  He was almost left alone.

    After several parties gathered in East China, it was impossible without a capable person to control the situation.  Jiang Baili's position, rank and prestige were sufficient, and both Zhang and his son liked him.  The People's Army's military strategy has basically taken shape, so Jiang Baili, who wanted to learn something useful, was temporarily transferred to a new post to combine theory with practice.

    Nanjing was originally an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place, but when Su Xichang fell one after another, Qi Xieyuan, who was afraid of being "disgraced under Jinling City", decided to abandon this important southeastern town and escape before the Shanghai-Nanjing line was controlled.

    After running all the way to Shanghai, the "slant-eyed commander" felt that Shanghai was not safe either.  As a last resort, he fled to the Japanese Concession and later fled to Japan.

    When the good news came, Zhang Hanqing became very popular in poetry, so he composed a poem titled "Seven Rhymes."  People's Army Occupies Nanjing":

    The wind and rain in Zhongshan turned yellow, and millions of troops crossed the river.

    The tiger perched on the dragon's plate is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down, generous and generous.

    It is better to use the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits, and not to pretend to be an academic overlord.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Heaven is also old, and the right path in the world is subject to vicissitudes of life.

    This battle was fought happily, but a very bad situation also occurred, that is, after Qi Xieyuan's defeated troops retreated, violent xenophobic incidents occurred in Nanjing, which almost caused a conflict between China and foreign countries.  On the evening of November 25, some of the Qi troops who had not crossed the river carried out looting activities in Nanjing. However, except for two foreigners walking on the street and two evacuated foreign residences, the Qi troops did not attack anyone else.  foreign targets.

    The leading troops of the People's Army marched into Nanjing, fired shots and searched along the way, and asked the consulates of various countries in Nanjing whether there were any war criminals hiding there.  After receiving a negative reply, the troops peacefully left the foreign consulate.

    But starting at about 8 a.m. the next day, a large-scale xenophobic wave of robbing foreigners suddenly broke out in Nanjing, which lasted until 5 p.m.  Foreign consulates, churches, schools, trading companies, hospitals, and foreign residences in Nanjing and Xiaguan were all violated and looted.  Soon after, the wave moved to Shanghai.

    The new Fengjun regime still needs to be recognized by the great powers. The People's Army that has been victorious will not allow extraneous matters to arise.  After learning of the riot, Zhang Hanqing immediately ordered the troops crossing the river to immediately assume the responsibility of maintaining local security, and to deal with the stubborn ones sternly and quickly:

    "During this critical period, we are aware of military control. If anyone takes the opportunity to disrupt social order, endanger people's lives and survival, or interfere with the normal life of friends from all over the world, they will be shot on the spot without any doubt!"

    For Qi Xieyuan¡¯s 6th Division, the People¡¯s Army also conducted a large amount of propaganda, requiring ¡°anyway¡± officers at all levels to restrain their subordinates, get through this period safely, and make meritorious deeds.  On the same day, Nanjing City shot hundreds of defeated soldiers, and public security in the provincial capital gradually restored.

    At this moment, a series of dull sounds came from the Yangtze River, and something that no one could predict happened happened.

    It turned out that due to repeated rebellions, the British and American warships stationed on the Yangtze River shelled Nanjing without any warning on the grounds of protecting overseas Chinese.  This is not only a show of force, but also a test after the Feng clique defeats the Zhili clique: With the People's Party about to de facto unify China, what is his attitude towards Britain and the United States?

    This matter was suddenly amplified. Duan Qirui, Sun Yixian, etc., and even the backbone of the direct line in Xiaye were all watching how the Feng Clan would do it.

    "If they cannot seek justice, the People's Army can be directly characterized as militaristic people who are experts in the civil war; regardless of whether the pressure on Britain and the United States will be effective, don't the group of pro-American factions headed by Zhang Hanqing say that they want to establish friendly relations with the United States?  Does he dare?

    When faced with this matter, the previous government could only lament that it was a bad year.  When Chinese people deal with foreign countries, they only suffer losses and are deceived, not take advantage of them. There are no exceptions.

    Many people think that it is time to endure it. The great powers have brought enough insults to China these days, and a lot of lives are not a problem at all.

    After receiving the report from the front line, the string in Zhang Hanqing's heart that had not been touched for a long time began to stir.  If the country is weak, what will it do to the small people?  At that time, China kept a low profile and still could not avoid the humiliation of the Yinhe incident and the bombing of the Yugoslav Embassy. How is this scene similar to it?

    He ordered a strong condemnation, pointing out that the bombardment of Nanjing was "strictly prohibited by the public law of all nations and the general rules of civilized countries." On the one hand, he urgently sent people to negotiate with the warships of the two countries sailing on the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, he arranged for the assessment and rescue of the damage suffered.  .

    It¡¯s nothing more than negotiationWant to change and be hostile to the People's Party government?  As the head of the People's Army, I must have this suspicion when the People's Army is crossing the river.  "

    He has changed his strategy. Now the whole country is watching the People's Party's response to this matter. With the current situation, it is impossible to expect a softening of the British position. After all, people have "dignity" even if they die.  He didn't have too many cards to play, so he could only lead the incident to the British government's stance on the various factions in China.

    "The bombardment of Nanjing was to support the Zhili Clique, because it came at such a sensitive moment.  Zhang Hanqing deliberately understood it this way, expressing his dissatisfaction with the British support for Zhili in this way, so that Patton understood that this was the source of the anger of the People's Party and the People's Army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
