Night, the moon is sparse, Shenyang, the Marshal's Mansion, Marshal Zhang's eyes are bloodshot, his expression is tired, and he looks haggard. This period is undoubtedly the most difficult period in his life for this Marshal Zhang.
His old father passed away suddenly. As Fengjun's only successor, he had to face not only the pain of losing his father, but also the entire situation of Fengjun and the three eastern provinces. He was undoubtedly mentally and physically exhausted.
"Young Marshal, news from Peiping." Just after finishing handling his men's affairs, a guard walked quickly from outside and saluted with a military salute.
"Say." When Shaoshuai Zhang heard this, he didn't even raise his head and seemed a little absent-minded.
Several other senior Fengjun officials present did not say anything when they saw Shaoshuai Zhang's appearance, because they all knew that during this period, almost all of Shaoshuai Zhang's energy was focused on Japan, and he did not pay much attention to other things. Because after the Huanggutun incident, Japan not only denied the murders, but also became aggressive towards them. Now that the new power has changed, it is inevitable that it will not be able to do what it wants.
"Yes." The guard also responded, and then said: "According to news from Peiping, the Nationalist Government revoked the Qingwumen order on the evening of the 12th. In addition, on the evening of the 12th, a major event happened in Peiping. The Japanese in Peiping were attacked, and the area around the Japanese consulate was reduced to rubble. Nearly a hundred Japanese were killed or injured. Japanese Consul Yoshikawa Tanichi and many other important officials died that night."
"What?!" Zhang Shaoshuai, who was a little absent-minded, immediately turned his head and looked over when he heard this. During this period, he was very sensitive whenever he heard about Japan.
The few officers nearby also looked startled when they heard this, and they all looked sharply at the guards. They couldn't help but be surprised. In fact, China is too weak to the outside world in this era, even if it is against some ordinary Japanese. They have to be careful for fear of causing international disputes, let alone directly destroying the Japanese consulate and killing the Japanese consul and other important officials. This is definitely the first time.
"What happened? Who did it?" Zhang Shaoshuai suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the guard and asked.
"My subordinates don't know what to say about this. The news is that he is a divine man. I have brought a newspaper from Peiping here. Young Marshal, please read it for yourself."
The guard opened his mouth and said, thinking about the news coming from Peiping about what happened at the Japanese Consulate, he didn't know what to say, because the whole thing sounded too ridiculous, let alone the young marshal and the people present. Even he himself found it hard to believe it. The guard had to take out the newspaper he had prepared in advance and walked over and handed it to Marshal Zhang.
Shaoshuai Zhang took the newspaper and read it directly. Soon, his expression was replaced by shock. Several officers next to Shaoshuai Zhang couldn't help but become curious when they saw Shaoshuai Zhang. They couldn't help but slowly leaned their heads towards the newspaper and looked at the newspaper. , and soon, the expressions of several people also changed drastically, slowly revealing expressions of horror and disbelief.
"this--"
Several people opened their mouths, not knowing how to speak, and they suddenly understood why the guard was so embarrassed. Such news was indeed shocking and unbelievable.
After a long while, Marshal Zhang slowly put away the newspaper in his hand, his expression suddenly changed, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the guard.
"You just said that the Nationalist Government canceled the Qingwu Order, but what is the specific reason for the investigation?"
"Well, not yet. Why the Nationalist Government suddenly revoked the Qingwu Order is still not clear to the outside world, and the National Government has not given any explanation."
The guard replied. Upon hearing this, Marshal Zhang's eyes flashed and he muttered to himself.
"On the same night, could it be that person?"
Behind Marshal Zhang, several officers seemed to have thought of something when they heard this. Their expressions changed slightly, and the scene of that night almost appeared in their minds.
In the French Concession in Shanghai, in the lobby of a European-style villa, more than a dozen people gathered together, led by an old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit with a majestic face, who turned out to be Li Musheng, and the group of people next to him was also Li Mu.
Li Lianxin, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Star of the Wumen, who gave birth to his daughter, Cheng Gang, the commander of the Xuanwu Star, and some people from the Wumen were all members of Li Musheng's lineage in the Wumen.
Ever since Marshal Zhang quit Peiping and led his troops back to the three northeastern provinces, Li Musheng knew that the situation was over, and then sent an invitation to the Nationalist Government to meet, hoping to see if they could reach a reconciliation with the Nationalist Government through an interview. However, the Nationalist Government directly chose
Refuse, at that time Li Musheng knew that once the Nationalist Government entered Peiping, they would definitely clear out their Wumen.
Therefore, the day before the Northern Expedition entered the city, he used his connections to open up connections with the French Concession in Shanghai, and brought his people to Shanghai to hide in the French Concession.
It is precisely because the group of people came here to take refuge early that they escaped from the Qingwu Order. However, at this moment, there was not much joy on the faces of the group, but instead there was a sense of heaviness.
"I guess you already know the news and newspapers from the north."
After a long silence, Li Musheng glanced at everyone present and spoke.
Everyone nodded slightly when they heard the words, but no one took the initiative to speak, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Although they were in Shanghai, it was impossible for them not to know about such a big thing happening in Peiping and it had been published in newspapers in Shanghai.
But it was precisely because of knowing that the group of people felt even heavier at this moment.
The Nationalist Government's revocation of the Qing Military Order was a great good thing for other people in Wumen, but for them, it was not necessarily a big deal, because when they secretly fled to Shanghai, it could be said that they completely betrayed the others who abandoned Wumen.
, it is obviously not easy for them to return to Wumen at this time.
"Tell me what you think. Now that the Nationalist Government has revoked the Qingwu Order, what do you think?"
Seeing that no one in the group spoke, Li Musheng spoke again.
The group of people looked at each other, but they had no idea for a moment. Finally, an old man who looked about the same age as Li Mu Sheng spoke.
"We have no idea yet, and we really can't figure out how the Nationalist Government could suddenly revoke the Qingwu Order. Although the revocation of the Qingwu Order is a good thing for us, our previous actions may inevitably arouse complaints and dissatisfaction among other people in the sect.
If we go back at this time, if we don't have a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
The old man opened his mouth and said, but he also saw the situation very clearly, and he also felt a very bitter feeling in his heart. When they secretly came up to the French Concession to take refuge, they had already concluded that Wumen was over, and the National Government would definitely eradicate Wumen completely, and there would be no more
There are other opportunities, so some people come directly to Shanghai to take refuge.
But now that the Nationalist Government has suddenly revoked the Qingwu Order, these people are in embarrassment.
"I don't know why the Nationalist Government suddenly revoked the Qingwu Order. As far as I know, Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek is a very strong person, which is somewhat unreasonable."
Xuanwu Chenggang pondered for a moment and said, asking the question in his mind.
"Could it be related to the person reported in the newspaper who destroyed the Japanese consulate?"
"It's not impossible. It was all on that night. It's inevitable that something strange will happen."
Someone echoed.
"Do you really believe the reports in the newspapers that people have such power?"
Some people also questioned that they still found it difficult to believe the news in the newspaper.
"Such a big thing has been published in the newspapers and spread so much. If it was false, I'm afraid someone would have come out to expose it. Even if it is exaggerated, I'm afraid it's almost the same."
Next to him, Li Lianxin, who had been silent until now, also spoke.
After hearing this, everyone fell silent again, and their expressions changed.
"If the Nationalist Government's lifting of the Qing Military Order is really related to the person who took action against the Japanese, then who is this person, what is his relationship with our Wumen, and what level does his strength reach? According to the news, now
Deputy Sect Leader Wu, Elder Zhao Changfeng, Elder Zhou Tiande and others are taking the lead in calling on fellow sects from other places in Tianjin, and they may know something about it."
Finally, after pondering for a moment, Xuanwu Chenggang spoke again. At this point, his tone paused, and then he said seriously.
"And the most important thing is, what should we do next?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone immediately looked at Li Musheng.
"father."
Li Lianxin also looked at her father and called out, with a somewhat worried look in her eyes.
"Contact Wu San first to find out the specific situation and why the Nationalist Government suddenly revoked the Qingwu Order. In addition, the most important thing is to see what other people in the sect think of us now. For the rest, we can make decisions later."
Li Musheng pondered for a while and then said.
"Lian Xin, Cheng Gang, you two should be responsible for handling this matter. Get in touch with the deputy sect leader of Tianjin Wu as soon as possible."
"yes."
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
