Zhang Zuolin was shocked when he received the news of the conflict between China and Japan.
It¡¯s not that he thought Zhang Hanqing¡¯s handling was wrong, nor was it that he didn¡¯t dare, remember that Zhang Huzhu had done a lot of harm to Japanese people back then.
Soon after taking over Fengtian, the Japanese army killed a Chinese soldier. Zhang Zuolin went to negotiate with the Japanese in person and lodged a protest. The Japanese consul said: "This matter is very simple" and wrote a check for 5,000 yuan and handed it to Zhang Zuolin. After Zhang returned, he immediately ordered that half of the entire army go back on vacation and kill the Japanese when they encounter them. But it was already midnight, and only two Japanese were killed. At three o'clock in the morning, the Japanese consul came to Zhang Zuolin and said, "You Chinese killed two of us Japanese, which is very serious!" Zhang Zuolin said, "That's very simple," and then handed back the check the Japanese consul gave him. , and wrote another check for 5,000 yuan and gave it to the Japanese consul. Afterwards, he said: "This is called tit for tat."
"But the death of more than 20 Japanese soldiers is not a trivial matter. If he waits until the Japanese come to him, he will be passive." Lao Zhang is also famous for his acting skills, and he can come up with ideas in just a second thought. He took many people to visit the Japanese consulate in Fengtian. Although the Japanese have always looked down on Chinese soldiers, they were still timid towards Zhang Zuolin himself. Lao Zhang came over menacingly with a powerful machine gun, and the guards, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, closed the door and urgently reported to Consul Yoshida Shigeru.
Yoshida Shigeru is an old friend of Zhang Zuolin. He is well aware of Zhang Zuolin's characteristics of being rough on the outside and delicate on the inside. He was surprised when he heard about it and walked out quickly. He ignored the numerous soldiers and said to Zhang Zuolin, both jokingly and somewhat seriously: "The commander-in-chief is here in person. With such a layout, I thought Yoshida had offended the commander-in-chief somewhere and wanted to destroy the consulate."
It is impossible to flatten the consulate. No matter how awesome Lao Zhang is, he will not seek death. That is a formal declaration of war. However, Lao Zhang's momentum remained intact. He looked at Yoshida and said calmly: "I don't know if Mr. Consul knows that someone wants the lives of my father and son! I hope Mr. Yoshida doesn't know about this, otherwise, This is the end of our exchange between you and me. Whether we will meet in arms or not depends entirely on Mr. Consul's decision." He put on a dead-end attitude and crossed his hands angrily. In the distance, Fengjun had set up machine guns behind the infantry crowd, and the situation was not so optimistic.
Yoshida Shigeru was surprised. He looked at Zhang Zuolin: "Why did you say that?" This is true. The instructions he received from the country were to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Zuolin and prepare to support him as Japan's agent in Northeast China. Haven't heard of any changes.
Zhang Zuolin's anger did not change: "This is strange! My little six was attacked by a group of Japanese soldiers of unknown origin in Zhengjiatun. Not only was he injured, but dozens of soldiers were bleeding on the spot. You know, the place where the incident happened was in our Guards Brigade. There are thousands of officers and soldiers at the regiment headquarters. This group of people rushed into our headquarters in a big way and shot my son directly. I wonder what the relationship between Xiao Liuzi and you is, and you want to kill him?"
It¡¯s hard to answer this. I haven¡¯t received the report yet. But he knew Zhang Hanqing, and his provocative speech at Fengtian Station deeply shocked him. The officers in the Kanto Governor's Office should also know about it. It's hard to say whether these people are responsible for it, but these lawless soldiers don't know what politics is. If what Zhang Zuolin said is true - the attack on the young marshal should be true, otherwise Lao Zhang would not be so angry - it is necessary to report this matter to the country.
He immediately looked pitiful and asked hypocritically: "This is happening! How is the young marshal's injury?" This is the essence of "Don't ask about the horse" in the Analects of Confucius. (The stables are burning. Confucius said: Is it hurting people? Don¡¯t ask about the horses.)
Zhang Zuolin also looked frightened and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, there were guards who blocked him. They were only slightly injured and frightened. However, several of the guards died on the spot - how much hatred is there?" How could he be so ruthless! The assassination of Mr. Zhang a few months ago has never been so dangerous!"
When he mentioned the assassination incident, Yoshida Shigeru felt a little embarrassed. What he did was a bit unethical, and he had tacitly approved it. Lao Zhang brought up old things again, and when he thought of Zhang Hanqing this time, he was 80% sure that the military was acting secretly again.
Fengtian is still inseparable from this person. Thinking of this, Shigeru Yoshida said kindly: "Commander, there is no need to doubt the support of the Japanese Empire for the commander. We have the same respect for the commander, but it is inevitable that there are some black sheep who want to influence the relationship between us. We have a good relationship with you, so please don¡¯t worry. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and prevent it from happening again.¡±
From beginning to end, Zhang Zuolin never mentioned the casualties of the Japanese army. If he knew the heavy losses suffered by the Japanese army, only God knows whether he would still talk in such a soothing tone. However, he was preoccupied and believed that the fault lay with Japan, but he was just unwilling to admit it.
The situation still took a turn for the worse: two days later, a large number of Japanese troops entered Zhengjiatun and demanded Chinese instructions by name.The official was punished and the murderer was handed over. The commotion became known to everyone, and even the central government of Beiyang was under pressure. It's just that the Japanese soldiers rushed into the Chinese army regiment command post and shot and killed the Chinese soldiers. It was always unreasonable and unreasonable. It is true that the government is afraid of the Japanese, but it cannot openly protect the Japanese. After all, the country still has face.
The magistrate of Liaoyuan County belonged to Zhang Zuolin. The young marshal made a mistake, and the local officials only came out to cover up the matter. He was ordered to go to the Japanese military camp to express condolences in person, but was detained.
"This is a bit too much. You have beaten me, but now even the civil servants are going to attack. How can we continue to negotiate this case?" Things must come to an end, right? Even Yoshida felt that what he had done was unethical: he had killed many soldiers, but it was not morally justified. How could these imperial soldiers be so stupid!
As a representative, Yoshida made several requests to Zhang Zuolin to deal with the aftermath, which were also made at the request of the military: punish the officers and soldiers responsible for the accident, set up Japanese police stations in southern Manchuria and eastern Mongolia, hire Japanese as military advisers and instructors, and deal with the dead and injured. The Japanese soldiers and their families were provided with considerable pensions, and the Fengtian Governor had to go to the Kanto Governor's Mansion and the Japanese Consulate General in Fengtian to apologize in person.
Everything else is easy to say. Even if you apologize personally, you can bear it. Isn¡¯t it just a face? Who hasn¡¯t been bullied by the Japanese? But if you want to punish Zhang Hanqing as the eldest son, let¡¯s forget it! No matter how open-minded Zhang Zuolin is, he will not be in trouble with himself. He looked at Yoshida and asked with a smile on his face: "Mr. Consul, I don't know how to punish the officers and soldiers who caused the accident? Kill or cut into pieces? How about I take my little boy to the Japanese military camp and show him in front of him before he recovers from his injuries?" In front of everyone, one shot killed him?!"
He questioned Yoshida Shigeru fiercely, and the true colors of his beard came to life: "The Japanese protected the members of the Zongshe Party who assassinated me, Lao Zhang, and directly led (Captain Qingyi Shengmin was the chief culprit) the Qinwang Restoration Army to counterattack Fengjun , and now they are sending troops to attack our headquarters, what are their intentions? Do you want to replace me, Lao Zhang?!"
"If this is the consul's intention, Zhang will immediately resign his official uniform to the central government and lead the 27th Division back to the mountains to let your country support those who it believes are capable!"
Luocao is the worst plan and the last trump card: for the sake of his son, he will not hesitate to fall out with the Japanese!
Yoshida knows that punishing the young marshal will definitely not work - the old Zhang who protects his shortcomings may really fall out. He has been entrenched in Fengtian for many years, and Fengtian is the most important place in Northeast China in terms of geography, economy, population, resources, etc. A corrupt Fengtian is not what the previous policy envisioned, and this risk is not worth taking.
Therefore, although the Japanese military also tried hard to build momentum for him and had the idea of ??"going straight to Fengtian" in an attempt to put pressure on Zhang Zuolin. Yoshida Shigeru still believed that it was not appropriate to fight Zhang Zuolin at this time, and the military's response was very rude and ignorant: no matter what, using force to attack the opponent's military camp itself brings political risks and is very irresponsible. He suggested suppressing this formulation and reporting back to the country that Zhang Hanqing could not be held accountable, so as to resolve the matter.
Facing Zhang Zuolin, who wanted to fight to the death, Yoshida Shigeru could not help but feel stagnant. In the meantime, due to changes in Japan's policy towards China, the Japanese government has decided to still support Zhang Zuolin. Therefore, the Japanese Military Department urgently instructed the Japanese Manchurian Military Department to ease relations with Zhang Zuolin. Under this situation, as an abandoned son, the "King Qin Army" was ordered to disband - there was no need for their existence; the Dalian branch of the Zongshe Party also disintegrated, and the second Manchukuo movement failed.
However, due protest was still necessary. In view of the toughness of the Japanese minister in China, the central government asked Wu Junsheng, who was present, to apologize to the Japanese and compensate for the losses. The reason was that he was the highest-ranked Chinese officer present (lieutenant general). ), bear an unshirkable responsibility.
Now Lao Wu fainted: What a fool, it turns out that the Central Committee is as weak as Japan. Zhang Zuolin is strong, but whatever his son caused falls on me! The same goes for the Japanese. They have lost face, and the rightful master does not dare to offend them. They want to pinch the soft persimmons. This is all caused by those who have no power!
There is no other way, who will let him become a high official? The blame has been laid! Damn it, everyone knows that I can't control Xiao Zhang's soldiers at all! Privately, Zhang Zuolin also found Wu Junsheng and asked him to come forward to quell the matter, and promised to help him get on the horse when there was an opportunity in the future. One, Lao Wu, was forced by the pressure of the central government, and the two, because of their feelings, swallowed their anger and represented Fengtian. The Central Government apologized to the Japanese and compensated the Japanese soldiers 5,000 yuan for the loss of each corpse. Even the Japanese businessman Yoshimoto also received 500 yuan in compensation, and the matter was settled. Of course, Zhang Zuolin didn't feel bad at all for the money.
In view of the Japanese dispatching heavy troops to Zhengjiatun, Zhang Hanqing obtained Zhang Zuolin's consent and released Han Linchun's regiment here. This move not only ensured the safety of Zhengjiatun, but also blocked Japan's westward advance into Mongolia. It also had the intention of penetrating into Jilin.
The Japanese military officer found Han Linchun and questioned his purpose of garrisoning troops. He said that there was no need for Chinese troops to garrison since the Japanese troops were here. Han Linchun replied proudly: "Zhengjiatun is the natal home of the young marshal's wife. The young marshal is worried about the resurgence of bandits, so he has the obligation to protect his family."
During the battle against bandits, the "student army" came to the fore and gave those who had been ridiculing the useless theory a heavy slap in the face. The young marshal Zhang Hanqing showed his talents for the first time and was known as the "Ruhu", becoming a rising star within Fengjun. His heroic feat of daring to fire on the Japanese troops was widely reported in the country and was widely reported. It also greatly shocked the Japanese troops in Fengtian Province and made them behave much better on the territory where the Guard Brigade operated.
