In a blink of an eye, December 1, 1923, 20 days have passed since the He Rui government declared that it was the Chinese central government. December 1 is a weekly 6. In the Northeast, Sundays of each week are rest days. Any factory arranged according to the statutory rest days no longer work on the 6th afternoon. After lunch, everyone goes to the factory to clean and repair and holds a meeting to arrange work. Basically get off work before 4 pm.

The first thing to settle down in the Beijing-Tianjin-Zhili area was that there were concessions and foreign troops on every street, the people rushed out of their homes or shops and factories, and stood on the street to watch the truck convoy pass by.

Three death row prisoners on both sides of each truck were basically foreigners. They were tied up with their hands behind them, with white death row signs inserted behind them. The prisoner was pressed by two policemen behind him and grabbed his arms. Under such escort, the prisoner's head poked out of the car. The people on the street could see the death row sign saying "Deathly prisoner xxxxx" and there was also a word "cut" at the top. The word "cut" was ticked by a red pen. According to Chinese tradition, such a guy would definitely be cut off.

In recent years, the people have had enough of the oppression of foreign invaders. No one came forward to give them red color, and no one gave them wine. However, they drooled and scolded and flew straight to the death row prisoners.

There were also some foreign newspaper reporters on the roadside, all wrapped tightly to prevent people from being noticed as foreigners. The reporters tried their best to take photos with their cameras, and the actions were quickly recognized by the public. Someone immediately pushed and shoved them. At this time, the police who maintained order immediately stopped the private fight. When the foreign journalists were temporarily safe, the police glared at the reporters unhappily and continued to perform official duties.

Foreign journalists were filled with nationalist emotions, and took photos from the best angles they could choose at this time, so that the photos could show the boiling nationalist emotions of the Chinese people more effectively. The reporters hope that their photos could attract tough reactions from the Western government to China, and it would be best if a war broke out.

The new government of the Republic of China did not stop the work of foreign journalists, but continued to maintain order. After the parade was completed, the car drove towards the selected open spaces. On the open space, the gallows had already stood up. In the cold wind, the thick and strong rope sleeves on the gallows were swinging with the wind.

Seeing that he was going to be divided by luck, the soldiers among the death row prisoners could not bear it immediately. An officer shouted: "You can't hang us! You can't hang the soldiers!"

"You can't hang the soldiers!" In the reception room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the capital, the French minister expressed his protest loudly.

There are three reception staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs opposite, one was the director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau's French Office during the Northeast government period, and now the head of the French Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. One is the staff member responsible for the record, and one is the assistant Yan Huiqing. Yan Huiqing looked at the excited look of the French minister and tried hard to adjust his mentality so that he could better keep up with the mentality that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should have at the moment.

Section Chief Li Shiguang smiled and said, "That's right, France uses a guillotine. If the minister agrees, we can suspend the execution of French death row prisoners and build a guillotine for them immediately."

Yan Huiqing almost couldn't hold back her laughter at 1 o'clock. This was an abnormal reaction for an old diplomat like Yan Huiqing. But Yan Huiqing found that she had indeed begun to get used to such abnormalities and was able to use the habits of the new government of the Republic of China to deal with the current situation.

France, loves the guillotine. In the past, Yan Huiqing could not consider issues so considerately no matter what, and kindly provided friendly help to French diplomats within their ability.

It can be seen that the guillotine did remind the French minister of his motherland and moved him. After a few seconds, the French minister's face turned red and he almost jumped and shouted.

Section Chief Li Shiguang said to the service staff: "Please go and make a cup of coffee, you need a Turkish style."

In the gap where the French minister was breathing and saliva, Li Shiguang said kindly: "Mr. Minister, I have read the famous book "The Earl of Monte Cristo" by your country Mr. Dumas. In the book, the Count said that drinking Turkish coffee is a person who knows how to live. Do you like Turkish coffee?"

The French minister was really stunned. The diplomat in front of him had rough skin, and he could not see the rigid and rigid appearance of a Chinese scholar. His every move was a bit tough. However, such a person actually had an understanding of French culture. The strong contrast made the French minister no longer want to use the means to effectively scare officials of the old Republic of China. These methods were probably useless.

Seeing that the French minister stopped protesting loudly, Li Shiguang made a gesture of invitation and said, "Mr. Minister, I have never been to France and I don't know. However, in reality, the French government did not recognize the new government of the Republic of China, so we have no diplomatic relations. The current meeting is purely a private meeting. So, you can express it to your heart's content to complete your task process. I understand this very well and am willing to wait for you to complete the process. Then, you can continue your own performance now."

Yan Huiqing felt that his past diplomatic experience was wasted, and he was both happy and lost. As soon as the French minister was also aware, he simply stopped being a clown when facing the neither humble nor arrogant Section Chief Li Shiguang. He sat down on the sofa opposite and asked unhappy, "You will have consequences for killing French soldiers."

Li Shiguang covered his anger with a smile, "Mr. Minister, if China garrisoned in France and the garrison killed the French people and was executed, what would your mood be like?"

The French minister never thought that China could actually station troops in France. But this imagination made him furious, "What did you say?"

Li Shiguang's smile was squeezed out, and his eyes were not only without a smile, but also sharp. This look made Li Shiguang seem to be wearing a malicious mask. When the French ambassador felt uneasy, he saw Li Shiguang put away his smile and said seriously: "Then Mr. Minister can fully understand my current mood."

When Li Shiguang spoke with a normal expression and said words full of nationalism, the French minister felt that he could accept it much. Moreover, France had just finished the European War for a few years, and the emotions that were once boiling around France also made the French minister very understand the mood of the diplomats of the new government of the Republic of China opposite.

Li Shiguang did not want to threaten French diplomats, so he switched back to a gentle term, "Your Excellency, as diplomats, why should we be angry about some criminals who are extremely guilty? That will only make diplomats laugh. If you have any doubts about the content of the trial, you can check the legal documents. China is a civilized country and will not kill people because of emotions like those executed beasts."

The French minister knew very well what the French garrisons in China had done and the concessions. Since the French government had no intention of going to war with the He Rui regime, the minister did not mention those people. He asked in a stern tone: "What about French merchants and commercial institutions?"

"Oh? Have any French legal personnel in China been infringed? Have you brought the list? If there is a list, I will contact the relevant departments and ask them to check it out. Please rest assured that the legal French people in China will not be illegally infringed."

"Really?" The French minister's tone was still stern.

Li Shiguangha laughed out loud, "Mr. Minister, it is not the time when French people arrested black people from Africa and transported them to the Caribbean as slaves to sell slaves. It is now 1923, and Haiti has been independent for more than 100 years. You are now in a civilized China, why do you always feel that you are still in a barbaric era? In a civilized China, whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner, your legal rights will of course be protected."

Yan Huiqing sighed in her heart that the so-called historical knowledge and verbal quarrels must be used in this way. After seeing the French minister opposite him being criticized by such elegant and fierce, his attitude finally completely eased. At this time, the serviceman brought Turkish coffee. The French minister picked up the coffee and drank a sip, his brows unwilling to relax.

The characteristic of Turkish coffee is that after roasting the coffee beans with spices, they must be ground very finely, and the standard is that they must be finer than flour. When brewing, they are mixed with sugar, chocolate and other spices, which is very fragrant. The coffee brought with them does have such quality, which proves that Section Chief Li Shiguang is not simply playing with words, which surprised the French minister.

After drinking coffee, the French minister couldn't scare the new government of the Republic of China, so he asked the core question, "Where will your country's army heading south be the end?"

Li Shiguang replied frankly: "We want to unify China, and the end is naturally the boundary."

"Then what?"

"Then keep the border."

The French minister stared at Li Shiguang for a moment before continuing to ask: "But the British friends in the diplomatic circle have different views on this."

"Haha. Mr. Minister, the iron law of British diplomacy is that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. I was surprised by your name as a friend to the British diplomatic community. Judging from the various things that have happened so far, the Anza people are not grateful to France."

Yan Huiqing saw a significant change in expression on the face of the French minister. Li Shiguang's words hit the heart of the French minister. He saw the French minister pick up the coffee and drink slowly before asking: "Then will Lord He Rui order the army to stop at the border?"

"No." Li Shiguang shook his head.

The French minister's eyes immediately became sharp, and he heard Li Shiguang continue: "Our field troops will not stay on the border after they arrive at the border. The border guards are naturally the border troops, so why do we need to use field troops?"

"What about France's interests in China?"

"The French concession and garrison pose a military threat to China, and we do not accept such threats. As for the legitimate interests of the new government laws of the Republic of China, we have protected all legitimate interests."

Since the two sides did not establish diplomatic relations, every word Li Shiguang said could only be regarded as his personal opinion. Even so, the French minister was very serious about communicating with Li Shiguang. If there was no such "private exchange", the French minister could only write a report to Paris based on what he imagined.

When the French minister left, he did not talk about the hanged guys.

At this time, the death row prisoners on the gallows were unconsciously circulating their bodies during the execution. The death row prisoners who were not on the gallows were all scared and trembled. Some soldiers who knew they could not survive desperately demanded to be executed instead of being hanged.

For soldiers, the difference between shooting and hanging is not the length of time of pain. If they are shot, it is the soldiers who are respected as soldiers. In Europe, hanging is the punishment for executing criminals. Soldiers are hanged, which proves that they are like rapists and murderers, and they are evildoers who are not allowed to be crimes by society. Their crimes are no longer allowed to live in the world. The difference between being executed because of defeat and hanging because of crime is undoubtedly in heaven and earth.

But the reason why the new government of the Republic of China executed these people was because they committed murder, robbery, and rape. How could they shoot the people?

The Chinese people cheered at the sinners who were rushing like dead fish on the gallows because evil was finally punished and justice was upheld.

In order to allow more people to understand the reasons why these people must be executed for a longer period of time, the new government also posted execution notices in prominent locations on city streets. Although the foreign journalists also stopped and read the execution notices, they did not take photos. For these journalists, they would rather think that they had never seen such an announcement.

Foreign journalists took photos of the Chinese people cheering for the gallows, trying to make the noose that had not been hung on the prisoner's neck in the composition. From the composition, this can give those who see the photos a visual hint that the noose is preparing for the Chinese executioner.

In these aspects, foreign journalists with rich experience have indeed shown a level far beyond their Chinese counterparts.

The execution lasted for three days. By December 4, the gallows were empty, and most of the gallows were not removed. The only ones in this round of hanged were criminals with simple cases. Even though the Northeast government has been collecting evidence in the past few years, it has sent thousands of judges and thousands of staff to take charge of the case. However, in the past decade, foreigners have committed too many crimes in China, and many of them have committed crimes in gangs. Even if 10,000 people work, they cannot fully understand the case in the short term. After that, as long as the case is over, the gallows will continue to come in handy.

At this time, the Northeast Army vanguard, who had been renamed the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China, had arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River. Although there were indeed some resistances along the way, in the actual feelings of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China, these resistances could only be described as weak and even insignificant. So much so that the headquarters along the 1st route of the army felt that this was not a war at all, but an armed march.

The National Defense Force originally attached great importance to the attack on Shanghai, but the actual combat disappointed everyone. The so-called Jiangsu and Zhejiang Revolutionary Army, three divisions dug trenches, prepared artillery positions, and arranged some things that could be called field artillery positions on the artillery positions. The three divisions and one of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Revolutionary Army had no effect at all. Their artillery did not understand artillery warfare, so they were easily destroyed by the National Defense Forces 120 heavy artillery.

The vanguard of the 2000 crossing the river troops sailed a small boat and quickly crossed the Yangtze River. At this time, 120 artillery ravaged the defense fortifications of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Revolutionary Army on the river bank.

The 6th unit of the National Defense Force thought it would infiltrate the infantry positions of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Revolutionary Army through infantry squads and platoon tactics, but unexpectedly, the infantrymen of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Revolutionary Army rushed out of the trenches with rifles under the coercion of the commander and launched an attack on the positions of the National Defense Force.

When interrogating the prisoners after the war, Lieutenant General Zhong Yi's mansion, who was commanding the troops south, realized that the commander of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Revolutionary Army believed that his troops could not hold on under heavy artillery bombardment and would retreat, so he rushed to jump over the wall and let the troops launch a charge.

However, at that time, the National Wehrmacht had no idea what was going on and thought the enemy was very brave, so he launched heavy hand. Machine guns, mortars, and field artillery swept across the enemy.

There were three divisions of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Revolutionary Army, each of which had a real standing force of less than 4,000. Before this battle, Latin added 5,000. The commander knew very well that his troops could only fight with the wind, and the newly recruited soldiers could not face a tough battle. So he set up a machine gun position to supervise the battle in front of the second trench.

Not long after the charge started, the front line troops were already crying and retreating, rushing towards the rear. The supervisory team still had the fighting spirit at this time, and under the command of the commander, they began to shoot at the deserters.

The deserters at the front were knocked down like harvesting wheat, and the supervision team created the most killing cases of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Revolutionary Army. Then the supervision team saw the deserters who had barely stopped just turned around and faced the enemy's National Defense Forces, and were immediately swallowed up by dense shells.

Talk about app—-p

It was not until they saw the power of the shells with their own eyes that the supervisor team truly understood that the enemy they faced was not worthy of the name of the Japanese. Every shell would blow a few or even a dozen Jiangsu and Zhejiang National Defense Army soldiers to pieces. Under artillery fire, they could not bear the attack.

After seeing what kind of scenes of war at the level of the great powers, the supervisory team dropped their weapons and screamed, and 1 scattered. Even the officers of the exclusive team ran away.

It was confirmed in the telescope that the enemy had fled, and the Northeast Army did not dare to pursue it with all its might. It was not until it got on the enemy's position and saw the discarded weapons all over the ground, picked them up and checked. It was a real gun and loaded bullets, so it could be used immediately. The troops realized that the enemy was really not good.

The pursuit war was short and powerful, and the enemy was completely solved within two hours. On the contrary, it took a full day for 10,000 troops to cross the river. At this time, Shanghai was still stable, and citizens actually had great expectations for the Northeast Army.

Zhong Yi Mansion had not crossed the river at this time. Seeing the comrades' sluggish emotions, he loudly encouraged: "Latest news, the Yangtze River fleets of Britain and the United States are still in the Yangtze River at this time. Comrades, this plate of dumplings is waiting for us to eat! They owe so much blood debts, it is not too much to die ten times. It is their luck to be beaten to death by us on the battlefield!"

This is the confirmation that Zhong Yifu just got. Most of the comrades in the headquarters did not know. I heard that there were still British and American fleets that could fight. The comrades who fought a cowardly battle immediately burst into cheers.

"No foreign warship can drive out of the Yangtze River estuary alive! Kill!" Zhong Yi Mansion's roar echoed in the canvas tent at the command center.

In the Northeast Army era, before every training was disbanded, they often shouted the word "kill". Zhong Yifu had already shouted out, and the comrades raised their arms and shouted, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
