After Li Yunsheng reached a consensus with the mayor of Shanghai, he left the city hall. On his way back, he heard a series of slogans: "Down with Japanese imperialism, oppose civil war...", the sound came slowly from far to near.
Li Yunsheng immediately pulled over and looked into the distance, thinking that this was another demonstration against the civil war, but he didn't know who organized it.
After a while, the parade slowly came over, and they saw a large group of young students holding slogans. Under the leadership of a few young men and women, they shouted slogans from time to time to demonstrate. There were thousands of people.
Seeing this, Li Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh, thinking that these students were full of enthusiasm, but it was of no use. After all, there were still nearly two years until the full-scale war of resistance, and the behavior of these students would probably be suppressed soon.
After sighing for a while, the parade passed by, and Li Yunsheng told Zhang Hao: "Pay attention to the movement of this parade and see how the Shanghai Municipal Government will respond."
Zhang Hao nodded quickly, and then asked in confusion: "Section Chief, we have nothing to do with this matter. People from the Shanghai Municipal Government will handle it on their own, so why should we pay attention to this matter."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "I'm afraid something will happen during this parade. After all, their slogans are somewhat sensitive. Once someone uses them and causes chaos, I'm afraid the Japanese will use this as an excuse to cause trouble."
Zhang Hao thought carefully and felt that this was a possibility, and then led two of his men to follow the parade.
In fact, Li Yunsheng was worried that people from the Shanghai Municipal Government would violently suppress these patriotic students. If this happened, some of the leaders would be unlucky, so he asked Zhang Hao to pay attention to the matter. If something happened, he could take action.
A helping hand.
Seeing that Zhang Hao had followed him, Li Yunsheng returned to the villa with peace of mind and continued to pay attention to the matter.
Just after noon, Zhang Hao came back and said with a serious face: "Section Chief, the matter is really big. There are already tens of thousands of people in the parade, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. I'm worried that if it continues to develop,
If it continues, it may become uncontrollable.”
Li Yunsheng frowned, and then asked in confusion: "Why did it develop so fast? Didn't the city government send someone to stop it?"
Zhang Hao immediately replied: "It was time to send someone to stop it. The Shanghai police were dispatched. However, due to their slow action, by the time they arrived, the parade was already too large and these police officers could not stop the parade.
"
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "I really don't know what these people in Shanghai do for food. They do everything slowly." Then he thought about it and told Zhang Hao: "You should pay attention to this matter. Now the parade has grown so much."
, once you do something extreme, it may not end well. If you find that the parade is in danger of getting out of control, report it to me immediately."
Seeing Li Yunsheng's attitude, Zhang Hao was a little confused. He didn't know why Li Yunsheng was so concerned about this matter. After all, this is Shanghai. Even if something happened, it would have nothing to do with him and others, so he asked carefully: "Section Chief, what are you doing?"
If we are so concerned about this matter, even if there is any trouble, it will be a headache for the Shanghai Municipal Government. If we ask about it, I am afraid it will be a thankless effort."
Naturally, Li Yunsheng would not tell the real reason, so he had to make up an excuse: "Now that Chen Jun has returned to Nanjing, I naturally have to take care of the affairs of Shanghai Station. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be difficult for you to explain. As for the people in the city government,
Seeing that they are moving so slowly, I guess we can't count on them, and if things get serious, I'm worried that the Japanese will make trouble." Li Yunsheng also worries that things are really out of control, and the government will definitely use violence.
If there is a suppression, major bloodshed will occur, so Li Yunsheng wants to stop this. After all, these students are very patriotic and they are all intellectuals. It would be a pity if something happened.
Although Li Yunsheng's explanation was a bit far-fetched, Zhang Hao didn't ask any more questions and continued to follow the progress of the matter.
After Zhang Hao left, Li Yunsheng immediately called Xu Bing at Shanghai Station. After the call was connected, Li Yunsheng said to Xu Bing: "Ms. Xu, do you know about the student demonstration that started in the morning?"
Xu Bing immediately replied: "I heard from people at the Shanghai Station that many workers have participated in the demonstration. Why does Section Chief Li care about this matter?"
Li Yunsheng immediately said: "This matter is developing too fast. Someone must be guiding it. I am worried that if it continues, it will lose control and the Japanese will have an excuse to cause trouble. If something unexpected happens, I am afraid that the matter will not end."
"
Xu Bing asked in confusion: "What do you think, Chief Li?" Xu Bing had the same view on this matter as Zhang Hao, that is, this matter should be of concern to the Shanghai Municipal Government and has nothing to do with the Secret Service.
Li Yunsheng said immediately: "What I mean is that you should report this matter to Nanjing immediately and suggest that the chief minister bring Chen Jun back as soon as possible. I am worried that the Japanese will use this matter to make some conspiracy. After all, no one at Shanghai Station is in charge of the overall situation."
Although he felt that Li Yunsheng's behavior was a bit redundant, Xu Bing agreed. Xu Bing then reported some more about Liu Renhai's case, and the two of them hung up the phone.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Hao suddenly called and said anxiously: "Section Chief, things are really going to get out of control this time. Now the parade has arrived in front of the Japanese Concession to demonstrate. The Japanese Marine Corps has already blocked the Concession."
Martial law has been imposed, and if things continue like this, I'm afraid there will really be bloodshed."
Li Yunsheng immediately asked: "Didn't anyone stop them and just let the marchers demonstrate in front of the concession?" Now Li Yunsheng was really worried. If these marchers got angry and attacked the concession, the Japanese would definitely shoot and suppress them.
, there may be many casualties by then.
Zhang Hao immediately replied: "Now all the police in Shanghai have come and are confronting the marchers. If not, I'm afraid the marchers have already started to attack the concession, but this won't stop them for long. I heard that the police chief has already sent a message to the police above.
Report it, we will probably use violence to suppress it.”
Hearing this, Li Yunsheng felt a little embarrassed. He really didn't want to see these students being violently suppressed, but if he stepped in to stop it, I'm afraid things would get even more out of hand. Moreover, this incident also made Li Yunsheng feel that there was some conspiracy inside.
But now the matter is out of my control, so I had to tell Zhang Hao: "The matter is beyond our control. You put your own safety first. If you can't, just come back. Don't be accidentally injured. I'll go now."
Municipal government, ask Mayor Chen what he plans to do," he hung up the phone and drove to the Shanghai Municipal Government.
Since he had already been to the Shanghai Municipal Government once, Li Yunsheng came to the mayor's office with familiarity. At the door of the office, he heard a roaring voice coming from inside: "I don't care what the reason is, anyway, you must find a way to calm down this situation."
If someone really dares to attack the concession, the soldiers of the empire will definitely use extreme measures to maintain the security of the concession. You will be responsible for all the consequences." As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the office was opened, and a short man walked out of it.
He was tall, had a bit of a beard, and looked well-dressed, but his face looked a little bad. You could tell he was Japanese at a glance.
When the people who came out saw Li Yunsheng, they didn't say hello and left quickly.
Although they have never met, Li Yunsheng guessed that this person should be the Japanese consul, and only he would be so unreasonable to the Shanghai Municipal Government. He thought helplessly in his heart, this is because the country is weak and weak, and the dignified mayor of Shanghai is actually
Not being noticed by Little Japan, he sighed and entered the office.
At this time, the mayor of Shanghai was also helpless. He originally did not want to use violence to suppress the student movement, and coupled with his own little thoughts, he made the matter worse. When he saw Li Yunsheng coming in, he said coldly: "
What are you doing here? I'm in a lot of troubles right now, and your Secret Service shouldn't come here to cause trouble for me."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "Mayor Chen, I'm here to ask how you plan to calm down this student movement."
Chen Dazhi said sarcastically: "What does this have to do with you? Isn't your secret service just arresting people?"
Li Yunsheng said helplessly: "Something is wrong with the current situation. This demonstration is developing too fast. It seems that there is a conspiracy in it. I am worried that someone is up to something. If something goes wrong and the Japanese find an excuse to cause trouble, we will all
I can't explain it to the superiors, so it's better to settle the matter as soon as possible." Li Yunsheng originally thought that this was a trick by the Japanese, a show they directed and acted on their own, but the Japanese consul actually came to find him, and his anger was not like that.
If it is fake, then it means it is not a Japanese conspiracy. This makes Li Yunsheng feel strange and wonders who is causing trouble.
After hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Chen Dazhi's expression changed, and then he said calmly: "Don't worry about it now, Lieutenant Colonel Li, I will handle it myself."
Chen Dazhi's attitude made Li Yunsheng a little strange. Logically speaking, he should be most worried that the matter could not be settled quickly. Why did he take the initiative to help? He still had this attitude. Suddenly thinking of the change in this person's face, he understood something, so
He said coldly: "Mayor Chen, don't take things too far. If there is a big mess, you will not be able to escape the blame. I advise you to communicate with Nanjing as soon as possible. As long as there is anything from the higher ups, I will immediately report it to you."
Let everyone go, I won’t cause any more trouble, and I won’t say anything more about this matter.” After that, he turned and left the office.
Seeing Li Yunsheng leaving, Chen Dazhi sighed. He didn't expect that Li Yunsheng was so vigilant. He was discovered when he leaked a few flaws. Originally, he just wanted to take advantage of this student movement. When things started to get up, he reported to Nanjing.
I used this to achieve my goal, but I didn't expect that not only was the matter noticed by people from the Secret Service, but it was about to get out of control. Fortunately, this person did not take the opportunity to cause trouble.
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Dazhi called his secretary in and said with a sigh: "Send a telegram to the Nanjing Secret Service, saying that I agreed to their request, and then ask Director Chang to calm down the matter as soon as possible. Don't really
