443 [Second Master Zhang who sees through the red dust]
The day after Feng Yong and others left Tianjin, Zhang Xueming came to visit wearing a suit.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm here to say goodbye," Zhang Xueming said upon meeting him.
Zhou Hexuan asked: "Why don't you stay in the country?"
Zhang Xueming smiled miserably: "What's the use of staying in the country? I racked my brains to deal with little Japan. Not to mention how much I have contributed to the country, at least I have worked hard. Look at what those people did to me."
Zhou Hexuan was silent.
In early and late November, Japan caused two consecutive riots in Tianjin with three purposes: first, to incite traitors to pursue "Tianjin independence"; second, to create chaos behind Zhang Xueliang; and third, to cover Puyi's escape from Tianjin.
As the mayor and police chief of Tianjin, Zhang Xueming responded very well this time and calmed down both riots.
But what was the result?
The Japanese minister in China lodged a serious "protest", saying that Zhang Xueming directed the Tianjin police to storm the Japanese concession, and demanded that Zhang Xueming be severely punished for his brutal behavior.
Chang Kaishen ignored this when he was in office, but after Chang Kaishen resigned, the Nanjing National Government could no longer handle it and actually ordered Zhang Xueliang to remove Zhang Xueming.
Zhang Xueliang's life in the north was very difficult. While he had to defend Jinzhou against the Kwantung Army, he also had to keep an eye on Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang in the northwest. He did not want to have too much trouble with the central government, so he could only compromise on this and put his brother Zhang Xueming's
Get rid of all the jobs.
The new mayor who is about to take office in Tianjin is not even Zhang Xueliang, but Zhou Longguang, a diplomat from the Nanjing government.
Zhang Xueming is so angry. He clearly foiled the Japanese conspiracy, but now he has no merit or demerit. The second son of the Zhang family no longer wants to be an official. He plans to go abroad to live a happy life and no longer care about the mess in the country.
"Mr. Zhou, I, Zhang Xueming, rarely admire anyone, and you are one of them," Zhang Xueming said in a sincere tone. "You have predicted the Japanese conspiracy perfectly. You are an unparalleled national warrior. But my brother just doesn't listen. I
To be honest, China is hopeless. People who really want to do things will make mistakes no matter what they do. Why not follow me to Europe? With our ability, we can get along well abroad without having to stay at home.
It sucks every day!”
Zhou Hexuan smiled helplessly and said: "Second Young Master, I can't imitate your coolness, and I also believe that China will win and Japan will lose."
"Win?" Zhang Xueming seemed to have heard a big joke, "What can China use to win? Don't say which side is stronger in terms of national power, just talk about how to do things. Damn, people who do things well will not have a good ending! I
My brother is still the deputy commander of the armed forces, and he can’t even keep his position as his own brother. There are a bunch of cowards in the country, the central government is a coward, and my brother is a coward too. Little Japan doesn’t dare to fight, it only dares to deal with its own people, they are all a bunch of fucking cowards!
"
"Well done!" Zhou Hexuan laughed loudly.
"If I don't curse a few words, I will feel unhappy," Zhang Xueming said with a grimace, "You informed me in advance that the Japanese would take Puyi away. It's a pity that no matter how hard I guarded him, that bastard Puyi still left Tianjin.
"
Zhou Hexuan consoled him: "It's not your fault. Puyi lives in the Japanese Concession, and he wore a Japanese military uniform and left quietly in a military vehicle from the Japanese Army Headquarters. It's normal that he couldn't be stopped."
Zhang Xueming didn't care about his image today, and cursed: "Fuck him, my brother is too soft-hearted, wouldn't it be over if he just killed him? He still leaves Puyi as a scourge until now!"
Without Zhou Hexuan's reminder, Zhang Xueliang learned through the Fengjun intelligence agency that Puyi planned to defect to the Japanese. Half a month before Puyi was taken away from Tianjin by the Japanese, Zhang Xueliang sent someone to give Puyi a basket of fruit, with two fruits in it.
Bombs as a warning.
But warnings are useless, this is simply a child's trick.
Now not only Puyi has left Tianjin, but many old and young people from the former Qing Dynasty have also left for the Northeast. It is obvious what they want to do.
Of course, the old and the young are also divided into two factions. We cannot say that they are all bad guys. The "unscrupulous faction" believes that as long as the Qing Dynasty can be restored, any method can be used, and they will not hesitate to make dogs for the Japanese; the "Hua Yi Dahu faction"
” believed that Japan was a barbarian country and had enmity with the Qing Dynasty, so it could not help the Japanese invade China.
For example, Puyi and his own father Zaifeng were firmly opposed to cooperating with the Japanese. It was not that he understood the righteousness, but that he believed that the little Japanese were too ambitious and could not help in a good way. If they went to the Northeast, they would only become puppets, and even more so if the whole family went there.
Stupid, once you fall into the trap, the royal family will die.
What did the old man Zaifeng say?
During the revolution of the late Qing Dynasty, Zaifeng was a villain, but after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Zaifeng became a positive character. He was extremely calm-minded and had a poisonous vision. When Zhang Xun was restored to power, Zaifeng did not act like a villain from beginning to end.
Blended. This time when Puyi went to the Northeast, Zaifeng also thought that there was more misfortune than good.
It is said that those who understand current affairs are heroes, and Zaifeng is a hero.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he took the initiative to sell his Prince Chun Mansion to the government at a low price to build a school, thereby escaping liquidation and protecting his entire family.
After chatting for a while about Puyi, Zhang Xueming suddenly whispered: "Mr. Zhou, you should be more careful when you go out in the future. I heard news from the old and the young that they are planning to kidnap Miss Wanrong."
"Understood." Zhou Hexuan nodded.
Puyi went to the Northeast this time to ascend the throne and become the "Emperor". Naturally, he could not live without the "Queen". No matter how much he resented Wanrong, he had to bring the real "Queen" to the Northeast. The worst he could do was to "abolition and then establish a new queen" after proclaiming himself emperor.
, otherwise the name will not be justified.
Zhang Xueming saw that it was getting late, stood up and said goodbye: "Mr. Zhou, I will leave first. I will take a boat to Europe tomorrow and live a happy and leisurely life. You can stay in the country and continue to suffer."
"Then I wish the second young master a happy journey!" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Europe is not free either. How can there be a true paradise in this world?
Historically, Cheung Xueming lived in Europe for ten years. As a result, he encountered a world war and had no choice but to run back to Hong Kong. Not long after, Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese army again, and he had to return to Nanjing. As a result, Cheung Xueming was attacked by Wang Zhaoming again.
Under house arrest, he was forced to serve as an official of Wang's Puppet Government, eating and drinking all day long while receiving a salary and doing nothing.
Zhang Xueming is even less suitable for big things than his brother Zhang Xueliang. He is greedy for enjoyment and afraid of death, and he cannot withstand setbacks. Being dismissed as the mayor and police chief of Tianjin is nothing. It can actually make him see through the world of mortals. It is simply nonsense.
After sending Zhang Xueming away, Zhou Hexuan came to Wanrong's study and said to Wanrong, who was drawing comics: "The old and the young want to kidnap you and take you to the Northeast."
Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then I won't go out until Puyi appoints a new queen."
