    An emergency telegram made the new commander of the Nanjing Military Region, Ma Longtan, more energetic after a sleepless night, and also relieved his original conflicting and angry mood.  This 68-year-old veteran of the Feng Dynasty had a strong sense of integrity. During the Japanese occupation of Northeast China in later generations, in order to refuse the fake post of president of the "China-Manchuria Autonomous Association" appointed by the Japanese, he slapped someone in front of him and hit his head on the bed.  Blood.

    This elder who had been following Zhang Zuolin since he started his career was also Zhang Zuolin's ally brother. Historically, Zhang Zuolin was suspicious of Zhang Zuolin because he believed that his papers and martial arts were far superior to him.  The problem resulted in him being relieved of his military duties.

    However, after Zhang Hanqing traveled through time, in order to enable Fengjun to keep up with the pace while reorganizing the People's Army, he lobbied Zhang Zuolin to let him take on the political work of Fengjun (different from the People's Army's approach), which would give full play to his abilities.  Advantage, but it will not put Lao Zhang in danger of having his military power taken away.  Therefore, in the process of expansion of the Fengxian in the past few years, his reputation was not prominent and his position was not prominent.

    But the influence is huge.

    He runs the army very strictly, and if anyone in the army disturbs the people and causes trouble, he will be severely punished.  There were many officers and soldiers recruited by the bandits in the Feng army. Sometimes they relapsed into their old ways, so Ma Longtan personally interrogated them and publicly shot the leaders.  So much so that the people made up a folk song to praise him: "Malongtan manages the army strictly, catches bad guys, redresses the grievances of the people, and the land of Fengcheng has a blue sky."

    Ma Longtan has done a lot of behind-the-scenes work along the way that Zhang Hanqing has benefited Northeast China and even China.  Like respecting teachers and valuing education, he once asked his accountant how much money he had, and the accountant replied 10,000. When he learned that he wanted to donate to fund education, the accountant who loved his boss changed his story in order to leave some money with him.  I was wrong, it was only five or six thousand. Later I saw that Ma Longtan insisted on donating, so I had to ask Ma to count. Ma Longtan didn't say a word, but took a pen and wrote a big word "Qing".

    This word was taken home by the accountant and carefully framed, and passed down from generation to generation as a family motto.

    Zhang Hanqing has talked about this matter on various occasions. He said that if all members of the People¡¯s Party are like this, we can defeat no matter how many enemies or strong opponents we have.  "Mr. Ma is a flag of the People's Party, the People's Army, and the Government of the Republic of China"!

    Originally he should have retired, but given that his actual military position was not high, and he had only been a lieutenant general or general before, in order to comfort this elder he truly respected, Zhang Hanqing had been planning to create an opportunity for him: to formulate a military plan for the Li People's Army.  The time for his conferment is not far away, and we need to give him a lifelong honor before he retires.  The commander of the Nanjing Military Region is a starting point.

    Even if he has been a commander for a day, Zhang Hanqing still has a way to give him a star!

    With the frequent telegrams from Malongtan, the elite People's Army was ready to avenge their humiliation.  Of course, we must first use the situation of mourning the soldiers to create a stir in public opinion - this is a point that the People's Party, which has experienced various ups and downs after the May 4th Movement, is familiar with.

    The Shanghai Provincial Headquarters of the People's Party organized the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions of 200,000 workers and 50,000 students overnight, and decided to hold a general strike, class strike, and market strike the next day.  On the 31st, the Shanghai Provincial Department of the People's Party, the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, the National Student Federation, the Shanghai Student Federation and the General Federation of Road Business Circles elected representatives to form the "Joint Committee on Industry and Commerce", which proposed punishing the murderer, compensating compensation, and canceling the consulship.  17 negotiation conditions including the permanent withdrawal of the British, Japanese, naval and army forces stationed in Shanghai.

    At the same time, the movement continued to develop and expand, and people in major cities and hundreds of towns across the country, including Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, and Chongqing, held demonstrations.  Strikes, school strikes, market strikes, electricity supply, and donations were used to express support in various forms, forming a nationwide anti-imperialist wave of anger and gaining support from the international working class.

    The heavily armed Baoshan detachment of the Shanghai Armed Police Corps went to the north entrance of the concession, and the Hongkou detachment went to the west entrance. They directly protected the parade and demanded the arrest of Chief Patrol Officer Mai Gaoyun, Chief Inspector Aifusen and related perpetrators.

    At this time, the British would never have thought that they had made a huge mistake. They still put on a face of "I am a gangster and who am I afraid of?" and lost the opportunity to control the situation to the maximum.

    The British troops did not allow the parade to enter, and a dispute broke out between the two sides.  A battalion of British Marines also came to help.  Facing the foreign guns and artillery held high, the armed police led by the detachment leader Gao Qiyun were not afraid and pointed their guns at the British soldiers.

    Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 12th Army of the People's Army of the Nanjing Military Region, was ordered to lead his troops to Nanjing Road for support.

    At that time, many Chinese soldiers, under the prestige of foreign aggression, could not help but "be frightened by the foreigners when they heard the cry of dysprosium, and bowed their knees to the crooked hut." However, Zhang Zizhong was so full of blood that he sent a regiment to forcefully advance the concession.

    Smith, the British concession consul, sent someone to tell Zhang Zizhong: "The concession is a territory shared by all countries, and Chinese troops are not allowed to enter!"

      Zhang Zizhong replied to him: "The concession is not a haven for you to kill my compatriots wantonly! The British shot my unarmed people first. The commander of the army was ordered by the superior to carry out the task and assist the Chinese police in interrogating and punishing the culprits who were accomplices of humans and gods.  Anyone who dares to block is a blatant provocation to our army and will be severely punished!"

    Smith ordered the British troops to shoot at the People's Army. Zhang Zizhong immediately ordered all the ministries: "If he doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. If he offends me, destroy him resolutely!"

    But Smith didn¡¯t believe that the Chinese soldiers, who had always been ridiculed as the ¡°sick man of East Asia,¡± really dared to shoot.  Which negotiation with China did not end with China¡¯s final defeat?  Even if there is a brave man among them, he will never be stronger than a weak government.  He regarded Zhang Zizhong's words as a kind of harsh words and ordered the British army: "Ignore it and shoot!"

    As soon as the gunfire rang out, the situation was no longer controllable by both parties.  At this time, intensive gunfire came from the west. It turned out that the Hongkou Squadron of the Armed Police had exchanged fire with the British army.  The soldiers of the People's Army were already filled with righteous indignation, and of course they immediately fought back against the British army as ordered by their commanders.

    In an instant, bullets were fired like fried beans, suppressing the opponent intensively.  Because the British army was small in number and did not expect the People's Army to actually dare to shoot, more than a dozen people were killed immediately, and the surviving ones fled into the concession like rabbits.

    The crowd in the march burst into enthusiastic shouts, and the national self-esteem that had been suppressed for many years sprouted. I don¡¯t know who shouted ¡°Long live the People¡¯s Party!¡± The infected people couldn¡¯t help shouting: ¡°Long live the People¡¯s Party!¡±

    ?This sound comes one after another, forming a torrent that travels and sings in the streets and alleys of Shanghai, expressing gratitude and heartfelt support for the People's Party who is not afraid of violence and makes decisions for the Chinese people.

    Zhang Zizhong¡¯s heart surged as he listened to these calls from the bottom of his heart.  He felt that since the matter had become a big deal, it was better to arrest the culprit in this situation, which could also comfort the souls of the people who died.  In this way, even if you are seriously punished, even go to military court or even be shot for it, your death will be worthwhile and you will have a clear conscience for the country!

    Immediately, an order was given to stop fighting and a message was sent, demanding that the British hand over the murderer immediately and stop all confrontational actions.

    The British Marine Battalion has woken up from the initial confusion and realized that it has encountered a tough opponent.  Since the other party dared to expand the trouble, of course they wouldn't care about killing a few more British people.  I heard that the other party was led by a military commander, and I thought that there must be a lot of soldiers and horses, so while I was perfunctory, I urgently notified the British and American warships relying on the Huangpu River to prepare for battle.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
