    At this time, the European and American powers were busy dividing the spoils in Europe to seize the fruits of victory, and had no energy to restrain Japan's actions in the Far East. Therefore, the Japanese government was able to use this vacuum to put pressure on the Republic of China government.  If you don't handle it well, something will inevitably happen.

    Duan Qirui's government is also riding a tiger with difficulty.  Be tough, don't dare; accept everything as ordered, you can drown him with just a drop of saliva.

    Zhang Hanqing led troops to regain Mongolia. As the commander of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force, Xu Shuzheng was heavily criticized by the Zhili Clan. He published a "Letter to the Northwest Frontier Defense Army to Expel the Xu Clan and Disband the Anfu Clan": "(Xu Clan) is an ambitious and powerful person.  , taking advantage of the policy of obscuring the people, adopting warlordism, and supporting hundreds of thousands of Shuofang athletes, thinking that they are used to fight against each other. Not to defend the border, but to defend the interior"

    Speaking of which, Xu Shuzheng was shot while lying down.  Originally, the stability of Mongolia was his responsibility as the commander of the Northwest Frontier Force. He wanted to lead troops to recover it, but Zhang Hanqing was faster than him and left at a moment's notice.  After the First World War, Zhang Hanqing became famous, and he could only watch in despair as the snow of praises flew towards Zhang Hanqing.

    As for seizing the fruits of victory, firstly, Fengjun won a new victory and had the moral upper hand; secondly, the Anhui clique did not dare to make too many enemies, so Duan Qirui and the clique could only allow Zhang Zuolin to be promoted to a higher position against his will.

    The Zhili clique is already sharpening its sword against the Anhui clique, and now Duan Qirui is neither soft nor hard.  Soft, it is Zhizhi¡¯s excuse; hard, he is so afraid of Japan even though he has exerted the power of Beiyang, what can he rely on?  Therefore, we can only try to resolve this dispute through legal means.  Later famous Chinese navy general Shen Honglie and diplomat Wang Hongnian were ordered to go north to negotiate with the Japanese army.

    Shen Honglie is an expert who studied in Japan, and Wang Ze is known for his skill in diplomatic dealings. The two of them work together and have high hopes.

    Starting from Beijing, the two of them visited Marshal Zhang in Shenyang.  Zhang Zuolin is the patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces and the chairman of the Northeastern Autonomous Government. How can things happen in the Far East go through him without going through him?  Moreover, the original destination of the fleet going north was Harbin, which was also under his rule.

    In the Marshal¡¯s Mansion in Shenyang, the two met the legendary Young Marshal.  At this time, although Zhang Hanqing was still immature after experiencing the life outside the Great Wall, his sophistication and foresight made the two of them heartbroken.

    Zhang Zuolin advocates toughness. If the Japanese succeed this time, with their aggressive nature, they will inevitably take the opportunity to do something evil again.  Besides, he has been dissatisfied with Duan Qirui for a long time. If the central government dares to fully accept Japan's conditions, he will definitely attack the central government in the name of national justice.

    However, Zhang Hanqing understood the situation of the two people very well. He said to Wang Chongwen: "There is nothing to talk about when people are under the roof, but lending artillery to the Soviet Red Army and freezing to death the Japanese army are sensitive topics. These two accusations cannot be made under any circumstances."  Admit it, otherwise this matter will become a big deal. After all, these two things are closely related. I think Commander Chen is also a sensible person and will not leave any evidence to the Japanese.

    As long as this general direction is set, everything else will be much easier to handle.

    After the two of them arrived at Temple Street, they first established a good relationship with the local residents. As far as I know, the Japanese soldiers did not do any good things in the Far East. The local people must have more dislike for them than good impressions of them.  As long as there is no one-sided witness testimony, no matter how tough the Japanese are, it is just one-sided statements.  We plan to provide 500,000 yuan in activity funds for your use. If necessary, the Governor of Black Province Zhang Guogan will fully support it.

    ¡°If it can¡¯t be delayed for a long time, we will spread public opinion to the outside world on the grounds that the northbound fleet has been delayed in arriving and affecting the peace of the Northeast border, giving people the impression that the reason why Japan is making a big fuss is that it actually wants to get involved in Northeast China.

    I have already sent a message to my ally and Minister to the United States Gu Weijun to ask him to build momentum in the United States.  If you don¡¯t believe that countries such as Europe and the United States really acquiesce in Japan¡¯s dominance in the Far East and Northeast my country, it will be much easier to resolve this matter in the end.  In any case, our soldiers must not suffer disadvantages abroad, and our national dignity must also be guaranteed!  "

    Finally, he said humorously: "It seems that the central government sent two people very particular. Both of them have the word 'Hong' in their names, which means they are destined to have good luck. Brother Cheng Zhang is even more lucky."  I hope to make great achievements here.¡±

    Wang Hongnian was quite surprised. He had heard the name of the young Marshal of Northeast China for a long time. His political quality and military performance were obvious to all, but he did not expect that he would have such a high level of consciousness.

    500,000 yuan, which is not a small amount, he took it out casually, and Zhang Zuolin, a great man from Northeast China, did not have any objection, or his own intention was unknown.  In addition, I never expected that Zhang Hanqing also had such a great friendship in the diplomatic field. Who didn't know that Gu Weijun was his ally?

    However, Zhang Hanqing¡¯s efforts to solve the problem were sincere, and the 500,000 yuan was the real price.?'s.  Wang Hongnian said with some emotion: "We are naturally determined to fulfill our mission when we go on this trip. With the help of the Marshal and the Young Marshal, our chances of winning are even better. This money is well deserved. We are going to negotiate.  It¡¯s not a bribe¡­¡±

    Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "This money is firstly used to keep in touch with the Russian people, but the main part is used to meet the daily needs of our Temple Street garrison. They are far away in a foreign land, and their lives are inconvenient. This is also a little bit of my father's meagerness."  Please ask Secretary Wang and Instructor Shen to hand it over to you, it can be regarded as a meeting gift, haha."

    Wang Hongnian was originally the acting first secretary of the embassy in Japan. Because he knew Japan, he was temporarily assigned to handle the incident. Shen Honglie was serving as a naval instructor at Army University at this time, and was temporarily assigned because the navy was involved.  Zhang Hanqing's title is very accurate.

    The two commanders, father and son, really support the proper resolution of the Temple Street incident wholeheartedly. After all, if this shadow is not eliminated, it will be a bomb to the safety of the Sino-Russian border.  However, the two of them are not completely doing business without capital. They also have a little bit of thought outside of official business.

    The Fengcheng faction is mainly a two-legged army, and its role in taking into account coastal defense, river defense, and river defense is obviously not as great as that of the navy.  Although the fleet heading north looks crude, it is already a pretty good naval force in China. Although it may have weak ships and small guns, it is still quite effective in inland rivers.  The planned stationing of this fleet in Harbin has already made Zhang and his son feel itchy.

    Especially after Zhang Hanqing knew that this fleet really became the private armed force of the Feng faction, and that Shen Honglie in front of him eventually became his agent in the navy.  He proposed his plan to Zhang Zuolin, spared no effort to support Chen Shiying to gain his gratitude, and then used money to become a financial backer to support its operation. This fleet will soon be affiliated.

    The Heilongjiang, Ussuri and Tumen rivers are the barriers between Kyrgyzstan and Heilongjiang and the borders with Russia and Japan.  For now, if it is fully armed and the patrol range of the fleet is expanded, it will be of great benefit to stabilizing the Northeast.  In the long run, it can also lay a solid foundation in advance for the Fengtian system to reserve and cultivate naval talents.  When the strength is accumulated to a certain level, it is very possible to compete with Japan in the Bohai Sea.

    From this point of view, buying a fleet for 500,000 yuan is a good deal, as long as it can be done in the end.

    Zhang Zuolin is, after all, a generational hero who takes decisive action.  In his opinion, as long as the fleet is on his own territory and needs his support for eating, drinking and sleeping, his right to speak will become more and more powerful.  Although the navy is recognized as the military branch that represents the country, it might as well play the emotional card first.

    Shen Honglie was also surprised. Only a few people knew about the news that he would serve in the Jiheijiang Defense Command, which was under preparation. Even Wang Hongnian, who accompanied him all the way, was kept in the dark.  The young marshal was in the Northeast, how could he know that he was going to "flex his ambitions" here?

    The sensitivity to 500,000 yuan is much stronger than that of Wang Hongnian. It is not that he is greedy for money, but that he has inside information at the Navy Headquarters that at this time, being able to bring such a huge sum of money to the military will make people feel uncomfortable no matter what.  The Navy, which has a strong anti-foreign character, should not hinder itself so much.

    He is from Hubei and is an outlier in the navy.  You must know that the main management of the Beiyang Navy are basically from Fujian, such as the current Navy Chief Sa Zhenbing and the fleet commander Lin Jianzhang who first went to the Far East.  As a foreigner, it would be difficult for him to integrate into this system.  So he said with gratitude: "Hong Lie will bear in mind the kindness of the commander and the old commander!"

    After Wang Hongnian arrived at Temple Street, he first did a good job with the local residents. Therefore, during the joint trial, the testimonies provided by all parties were favorable to me, and the Japanese representative was speechless.  After intense debate and negotiation, the Japanese side finally agreed that the two sides should stop military operations due to the lack of evidence, but offered to resolve the dispute on the condition that Chen Shiying be handed over to the Japanese for interrogation.

    At this time, Duan Qirui was facing the aggressive offensive momentum of the Zhili Clan and was struggling. It was useful to Japan, but it was against the national standards to make friends like this and he would definitely be severely criticized by all walks of life.

    You must know that now, no more than in the early days of the Republic of China, the Chinese people are now completely enlightened and nationalist forces are on the rise. Duan Qirui would never dare to do such a disgraceful thing. He only allowed President Xu Shichang to refute the internal affairs of the government |  He will definitely be punished according to military discipline.

    The Japanese government, which had lost face, brought the case to the International Maritime Tribunal in The Hague while putting pressure on the Beiyang government. The Japanese soldiers waiting to return home in Vladivostok also regrouped and had a strong tendency to advance towards the Black Province.  The pressure on Xu Shichang's government doubled. He was prepared to give up his car to save his commander-in-chief and give up Chen Shiying. However, he was strongly opposed by Sa Zhenbing.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Joke!  Soldiers bleed but not shed tears. All the big men in Beiyang are more concerned with the sea than the land. As Sa Zhenbing, who has devoted his whole life to the navy, the navy is his life, and the naval generals are his future. He will never allow it.  This kind of self-defeating sign happens.  On the surface, what may be handed over is just a naval officer, but what is accompanied by it is the dignity of a soldier, the dignity of the navy, the failure of the navy, and the national character!

    But as the intensity of protests by the Japanese government intensifies, the voice of support for him in the National Government becomes weaker and weaker.  Rumor has it that he has submitted his resignation to the president because he does not want to go through the pain of not being able to keep his staff while in office.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The most important thing is the dignity of the military, the dignity of the navy, the failure of the navy, and the national character!
