The whole street was boiling. Originally, because many years had passed, many of the history things he learned in high school in his previous life had been forgotten. But at this moment, when he heard the voice of the reporter outside, and thinking about the current time, Lin Tianqi also remembered it.
On May 3, 1928, Japan feared that the Northern Expedition would succeed in reunifying China, so it occupied Jinan with armed force, causing the Jinan Massacre, killing more than 17,000 people.
Calculating the time, it is now May 5th, which should be the starting point of the incident. The news spread quickly, and the newspaper was published in Guangzhou on the 5th. However, Lin Tianqi knew that this was only the beginning of the incident. If history did not appear,
Unexpectedly, Japan will occupy Jinan on the 11th, and the Chairman of the Northern Expeditionary Army will order the troops to withdraw from Jinan, adopting a compromise approach to this matter.
Lin Tianqi could not comment on whether Chairman Chiang's order was good or bad, because many things cannot be evaluated purely in terms of their nature. From the perspective of national sentiments, Chairman Chiang's actions were natural.
It makes people angry, cold-hearted and aggrieved, but from the perspective of the overall situation, this is indeed a helpless move, because China now really cannot beat Japan.
Although I don’t want to admit it, I must admit that China in this era is really too weak. Even if there is all kinds of anger and humiliation, if you can’t beat it, you can only hold it in. Otherwise, no matter how angry or unwilling you are, it will only be incompetence.
If you are angry, you will be beaten if you fall behind, and if you are weak, you will be bullied. The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. This is an eternal truth, whether it is between people or between countries.
The Republic of China was undoubtedly a dark era for China as a whole, and it was also a confused era, because it was difficult for you to distinguish between right and wrong, and sometimes you even didn’t know whether what you were doing was right or wrong.
Many people can't see the direction and the way out, because you don't know who is right to support, even Lin Tianqi. If you weren't a later generation, you wouldn't dare to say that you would definitely know.
"These Japanese!" Xu Dongsheng clenched his fists. After understanding the situation, he couldn't help but feel angry. I'm afraid anyone with a sense of national pride would be angry about this kind of thing.
Of course, we can only be angry and unable to rage. For such national events, the personal power of ordinary people is too insignificant. Moreover, the current domestic situation is also so complicated and confusing. In such a situation, even if you have national feelings, you can only do nothing.
, and even if you are not careful, you may be used by some careerists and directly used as cannon fodder. In this era, many people's feelings have been wiped out.
So when he was in Peking, Lin Tianqi persuaded Xu Wenqiang that even if he wanted to defend his country, even if he wanted to revitalize his nation and have national sentiments, he must be the one holding the gun, not the gun in the hands of others, because you can't guarantee
Did the person holding the gun have any ulterior motives? And the most important thing is that as a gun in the hands of others, once the bullets are used up, it is likely to be discarded and thrown away.
However, it was obvious that Xu Wenqiang did not fully listen to what he said at that time, and Lin Tianqi did not say anything more about it later. Lin Tianqi was not someone who liked to tell the same thing twice.
"The right and wrong in the world are like this. Once you are weak, you can only be bullied. This is true between people, and the same is true between countries." Uncle Jiu also sighed lightly, having lived for most of his life.
In this life, Uncle Jiu has seen these things thoroughly. He sighed in his heart, but had no other thoughts. He said calmly: "Forget it, these things are not our business, so don't think about it too much."
"Well, Master Lin is right. These things are beyond our control. Dongsheng, don't think too much about it. Just do our job well. Don't have any other thoughts."
When Xu's father heard this, he quickly nodded and agreed with Uncle Jiu's words. At the same time, he told Xu Dongsheng with some vigilance and warning. Ever since Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie got married and the two families became close, Xu's father was influenced by what he heard and saw.
I also had some understanding of the situation and some general information, so I was afraid that Xu Dongsheng would run to the revolution when his head was hot and he would think about the country and the nation, so he immediately warned him.
"That's it, let me tell you, if you dare to have any evil thoughts, your father and I will break your legs right away. And you are so stupid that you won't even know that you have been deceived."
Xu's mother also spoke up and said that the two elders were ordinary farmers with no great attachment to the nation. Their biggest wish was for the family to be safe and sound. Now Xu Jie has married Lin Tianqi, and the young couple is living happily.
The two elders are also very satisfied. For the two elders, their biggest wish now is Xu Dongsheng's marriage. They are still looking forward to having grandchildren, but they will not let Xu Dongsheng join the revolution.
"Father, mother, where are you thinking? Aren't I just angry?" Xu Dongsheng immediately couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. Seeing the appearance of the two elders, he said bitterly: "Don't worry, you are living a comfortable life now.
Yes, I won’t go for any kind of revolution. Besides, I haven’t even had a girlfriend in my entire life. I’m still thinking about getting married. I won’t go crazy and work hard to make a revolution..."
Xu Dongsheng said, and the two elders were immediately relieved when they heard this. Especially when they heard that Xu Dongsheng was still thinking about getting married and had such a high level of ideological awareness, they were even more happy.
"Well, you are really old now, and Xiaojie is already married to Tianqi. It's really time for you, the elder brother, to start a family. I think we can start looking for someone after we settle down this time."
Uncle Jiu said in a rare half-joking way. Lin Tianqi was also happy when he heard this and patted Xu Dongsheng on the shoulder.
"Tell me what kind of girl you like, and then senior brother and Xiaojie will help you look for her."
After Lin Tianqi finished speaking, Xu Dongsheng blushed instantly. He really said this. As a twenty-year-old innocent virgin who had never even held a girl's hand, Xu Dongsheng blushed again. Uncle Jiu next to him
, Xu Jie, Xu's father and Xu's mother couldn't help but become happy when they saw this, and instantly, the atmosphere became better again.
Afterwards, everyone sat in the lobby for a while, drank tea, and then left the hotel and bought a few sets of summer clothes for everyone in a clothing store on a nearby street. Originally, the group wanted to go shopping in Guangzhou.
Yes, but after experiencing what happened before and seeing the chaos in Guangzhou, everyone gave up this idea.
On the other hand, Lin Tianqi, after returning to the hotel, spoke to a few people and left the hotel alone.
"Criticize yin and yang to break the five elements, look at the sun and moon in the palm of your hand; measure Feng Shui and Liuhe, hold the universe in your sleeve." Half an hour later, in front of a fortune-telling stall on the street, Lin Tianqi glanced at a couplet hanging next to the stall, and then
Looking at the owner of the stall, a fortune teller dressed in yellow Taoist robes who looked quite immortal, he couldn't help but smile slightly and said: "Old sir, you have such a strong tone."
The fortune teller also saw Lin Tianqi. When he saw that Lin Tianqi was dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, unlike ordinary people, a glint flashed in his eyes and he smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Are you being too loud? Sir, why don't you try it yourself? If it's not accurate, you won't be charged."
When Lin Tianqi heard this, he couldn't help but smile a little on his face. He looked at the fortune teller in front of him and felt dumb. He had to say that this fortune teller's acting skills were indeed very good. Ordinary people would not be able to be fooled by him, but he himself
As a warlock, Lin Tianqi can naturally tell the other person's reality. How can an ordinary person who doesn't even have soul power know fortune telling?
The methods of divination and prediction are all Taoist techniques, and must not be practiced by magicians. Otherwise, even if ordinary people learn it, they can only learn a little superficial knowledge without the essence. Lin Tianqi is a magician himself, so naturally he cannot be fooled by the fortune teller, and he came here
It's not for fortune telling either.
"Forget it about fortune telling, I came here to confirm some news with the old gentleman."
Lin Tianqi said with a smile. Although he knew the truth of the fortune teller in front of him, he had no intention of exposing it. Instead, he directly took out a piece of ocean and placed it on the other party's stall.
"I would like to ask if the old gentleman knows if there are any new gangs that have emerged in Guangzhou during this period."
When the fortune teller saw the ocean on the table, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly picked it up, as if he was afraid that Lin Tianqi would take it back, and then said with a smile.
"Sir, you are asking the right person when you ask me. There is nothing in the city of Guangzhou that I don't know. If we want to talk about the recent rise of gangs in the city, then it must be the Qilin Society, which suddenly rose up a few days ago.
, although the Qilin Society has only been established for a few days, it has defeated several gangs such as the Xiamen Gang and the Santang Society with its rise, and has now become the first-class gang in the city..."
The fortune teller opened his mouth and told Lin Tianqi about the situation. He seemed to be relatively well-informed about the news in Guangzhou.
"In addition to the Qilin Society, are there any other newly emerging gang forces during this time?"
Lin Tianqi asked again.
"That's over. Although there are gangs rising and dying in the city from time to time, they are all small gangs and sects, not a big deal."
said the fortune teller.
"Where is the location of the Qilin Club?"
"It's more than half an hour's walk from here. It's on the other side of Avenue Street."
said the fortune teller.
"okay, I get it."
Lin Tianqi nodded when he heard this, said no more, turned around and left.
"Hey, sir, please stay."
Seeing Lin Tianqi was about to leave, the fortune teller suddenly spoke. Lin Tianqi stopped when he heard this and turned to look at the fortune teller. The latter smiled when he saw Lin Tianqi stop and look at him.
"We are destined to meet each other. I think my husband is destined to me, so I will give him a hexagram for free."
"Oh, tell me."
Lin Tianqi also found it quite interesting when he heard this. He looked at the fortune teller, who also looked mysterious and said mysteriously.
"I think your gentleman's appearance is extraordinary. He should be like Lu Bu among men and Red Hare among horses. From now on, he will be extremely valuable for the rest of his life!"
"Indescribably precious." Lin Tianqi paused slightly when he heard this, but then his mind suddenly moved. He raised the corners of his mouth at the fortune teller and said slightly jokingly: "It seems that the old gentleman also knows about the Three Kingdoms, but since the old gentleman knows
The Three Kingdoms, if they know Lu Bu, don’t they know Lu Bu’s final fate?”
fortune teller:"......"
I'm just pretending to be a fucking metaphor, do you need to be so serious about it?
Watching Lin Tianqi leave Beiyang, the fortune teller's mouth twitched, and then he took out a book from under the stall, opened it and read it, and there were four big characters written on it: "Ma Yi Xiangfa".
