Chapter 724 723 [Stir up the Storm]

Without Zhou Hexuan's scolding, Song Zheyuan was already reduced to ashes at this time. He did three things that greatly lost the hearts of the people and exhausted the patriotic reputation he had accumulated in the early stage: first, he passively promoted the de facto independence of North China; second, he recruited traitors and old warlords; third, he arrested patriotic people on a large scale. , suppressed the patriotic student movement.

If you pick out any of them at random, you will be a complete reactionary.

To be honest, even Chang Kaishen, who plays a dictatorial role, does not dare to blatantly suppress the student movement now. Song Zheyuan is so courageous!

In the entire North China region, the happiest people today are the old warlords. Those guys who went to Tianjin to live in apartments were like sharks smelling the smell of blood. They all appeared and contacted each other, hoping to take advantage of the chaotic situation to return to the military and political circles. Among them, there are countless people who use funds provided by Japan to act as loyal lackeys of traitors.

Many Communist Party and civilian patriots were arrested by Song Zheyuan in the name of "undermining harmony." He claimed to support the call of the Nanjing Central Committee and put all the blame on Chiang Kai-shek.

Why was Zhang Zizhong regarded as a traitor by the whole country in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War? Just because Song Zheyuan's series went too far.

Song Zheyuan's favorite trick was to throw the blame away. A Qin-Turkish Agreement resulted in the loss of 80% of the territory of Chahar Province, and all the infamy was shouldered by his confidant Qin Dechun.

Before and after the July 7th Incident, Qin Dechun refused to take the blame even to death. So Zhang Zizhong became a new generation of scapegoat and was sent to Japan for exchanges to ease conflicts with the Japanese.

As for the signing of "Xiang Yue Detailo", the truth is difficult to tell. It is too messy and has tarnished Zhang Zizhong's reputation, so we will not mention it for now.

Song Zheyuan is now a warlord leader. He may have really wanted to resist Japan at first, but his desire for power has become increasingly strong. When he occupied Pingjin under the pretext of suppressing rebellion, he had already made up his mind to use Japanese power to sweep the Central Plains. This bad idea came from his aide Xiao Zhenying - the one who was forced out of Tianjin by Zhang Zizhong.

But where are Peking and Tianjin so easy to occupy?

Song Zheyuan completely put himself on the fire. It was too late to regret, and he didn't want to take off the yellow robe after he was added. From then on, he could only walk around and be played around by the Japanese.

As soon as Zhou Hexuan's article came out, it immediately went viral across the country.

Just as Song Zheyuan became a household name for his resistance against Japan, this time he once again became famous all over the country for his role as a traitor.

Zhou Hexuan is the only Nobel Prize winner in China, and his influence is too great. Just a small article directly made everyone scream and beat Song Zheyuan.

July 1st.

Song Zheyuan suddenly convened the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee and launched an extremely powerful attack. He removed all five pro-Japanese elements mentioned in Zhou Hexuan's article: Wang Yitang, Qi Xieyuan, Wang Kemin, Chen Juesheng, and Pan Yugui.

Immediately, Song Zheyuan called the country, claiming that he had been deceived, reiterated his patriotic stance, promised to release wrongly imprisoned patriots, and invited celebrities from all walks of life to hold a "Northern National Salvation Conference."

…

"Well done!" Zhou Hexuan couldn't help laughing when he saw the news in the newspaper.

He wrote an article to criticize Song Zheyuan, not just to vent his anger, but also to put pressure on Song Zheyuan. Now it seems that the effect is really good.

At the very least, those five pro-Japanese elements became lost dogs. Not only were they dismissed by Song Zheyuan, but they also hid in the Japanese concession and did not dare to come out.

Especially Qi Xieyuan, Peiping and Tianjin could be easily occupied by the Japanese invaders, and Qi Xieyuan played a great role in the middle. This traitor colluded with the Japanese, took advantage of the luck of Song Zheyuan and Zhang Zizhong, and used delaying tactics and alienation tactics successively to make the Pingjin Anti-Japanese War a mess.

Now that Qi Xieyuan has been dismissed by Song Zheyuan, and his reputation has been ruined, Pingjin may be allowed to stay longer, and even Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu will not die so early.

Zhou Hexuan called Yu Peichen over and told him: "Go to the telegraph office and send a message to the whole country to say that I sincerely praise General Song's patriotic act."

"I'll go right away!" Yu Peichen smiled broadly and cast an admiring look at Zhou Hexuan.

What is a great writer?

This is!

Since Song Zheyuan's chaos in North China, I don't know how many patriotic people have condemned it, but they can't make him restrain himself at all. Every time, he pretends to be patriotic and makes a patriotic message, and then continues to win over those traitorous lackeys.

Now Zhou Hexuan just wrote an article and immediately broke the situation. Not only were the five major traitors in the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee removed from their posts, but Song Zheyuan also called a national salvation meeting and released some patriots in prison.

Of course, the happiest person is Chang Kaishen.

Chiang Kai-shek originally wanted to take advantage of Zhang Xueliang's resignation to completely control North China, but was killed by Song Zheyuan on the way to pick peaches. Now that all the Kuomintang headquarters in North China have been abolished, and all the officials sent by the central government have been driven away, it really makes Chiang Kai-shek choke and unable to express his anger.

In Qilu, Nanjing, Chang Kaishen laughed when he saw Song Zheyuan's power on.

"Niang Xipi!"

Chang Kaishen cursed and said with emotion: "My words are not as effective as Zhou Mingcheng's. He sent an order to the Executive Yuan to send someone to negotiate with Song Zheyuan. Isn't there a vacancy in the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee? I want him to give up a few. If he doesn't give seats, then Power up and rebuke!”

Poor General Song has to suffer from both sides again. His move to remove the five traitors had already offended the Japanese, and now he was forced to do so by Chiang Kai-shek. His life was really hard to live by.

Just when Chang Kaishen sent people to Peking to negotiate, the Japanese secret service in Peiping frantically sent people to question Song Zheyuan and asked him to quickly reinstate the five traitors.

As a result, the sentimental General Song fell ill again, so he left his job and ran back to his hometown to recuperate. This time he was seriously ill. The Japanese chased him to his hometown to check and found that Song Zheyuan was holding the quilt on a hot day, his face was as white as paper, and he could not even speak a complete sentence.

Patriots from all walks of life cheered and went to Peking at their own expense to attend the National Salvation Conference hosted by Lin Shize.

The Japanese Kwantung Army and Tianjin Army immediately began mobilizing, and troops arrived in Hebei and Shandong provinces. The war seemed to be about to break out, and Doihara Kenji also hurriedly crossed the sea and rushed to Peiping.

Facing the impending war, Song Zheyuan finally became angry and threatened that if Japan pressed too hard, he would fully support the Nanjing government, and took Han Fuju to negotiate with him to find a solution. Han Fuju was shot while he was lying down. His territory was inexplicably invaded by Japanese troops, so he could only grit his teeth and stand on the same front as Song Zheyuan.

In other words, as long as Japan dares to play it real, the armies of Song Zheyuan and Han Fuju will support the central government.

The unprepared Japanese did not dare to act rashly. Kenji Doihara appeared again, pulling Song Zheyuan and Han Fuju to ease the tense situation.

Zhou Hexuan wrote an article that affected several forces and mobilized more than 400,000 troops.

Everyone is generous enough.

However, Liao Yaquan also received a secret instruction, asking her to increase the dosage of medication for Zhou Hexuan.

Zhou Hexuan seems to have become a thorn in the side of the Japanese.
