Chapter 711: Straight to the Yellow Dragon
Seeing Cai Yuanpei rushing out, the crowd gathered outside finally boiled, and many students couldn't help but cheer.
"We won, the warlord let go!"
But these students didn't cheer a few words, they saw Cai Yuanpei's angry face, he walked a few steps to the front of a few leading teachers, talked about slapping, and smacked down. These teachers were all stunned at once, could this Principal Cai be locked up and go crazy? Why don't you distinguish between good and bad.
Several teachers didn't dodge, they were slapped a few times, and their faces immediately swollen, Cai Yuanpei's eyes were red, and he was trembling with anger, and those students didn't know what was going on, so they all rushed over.
"Headmaster, what's wrong with you? Is it wrong for us to resist tyranny and uphold justice? β
Cai Yuanpei looked at these dazed students, and suddenly had a sad feeling, these students were so naΓ―ve, they couldn't figure out all the complicated conspiracies and tricks behind them, and they dared to come out to make trouble if they lit a little fire.
This blood, this kind of momentum, was originally the most precious thing for young people, but it was used by people with hearts, which is really sad and lamentable.
"Students, do you know, I was a little late just now, and once the army shoots, you will all die here."
"Who has not died since ancient times!" A young student said: "For the sake of our country, for justice, and for the sake of saving those arrested classmates, even if we die here, we are worth it." β
"Yes, we are not afraid of death, rather than living in the world, it is better to die generously."
Hearing these words and looking at these immature faces, Cai Yuanpei suddenly had tears in his eyes, and they rolled down.
"I was wrong, it's all my fault! I just think about academic freedom. I just want to guard against the government, but I forget to guard against other black hands, and sit back and watch you being used, and I am all to blame for the death of those students! β
Cai Yuanpei was in tears, these teachers and students were all inexplicable, why did Principal Cai run to the barracks, walked around and came back, everyone couldn't understand what he said, these people looked at each other.
Cai Yuanpei controlled his emotions for a while. Then he said: "Ladies and students, Vice President Zhang did not arrest me, but let me meet the students who were detained, and I have been with them all the time. β
"Headmaster, you're fine. How about those students, weishenme still doesn't let them go? Jiang Menglin couldn't help but ask.
"yes. What the hell is going on? We don't understand what you're talking about, do we? Liu Bannong also asked anxiously.
Cai Yuanpei smiled bitterly: "We were deceived, we were all deceived." The march was instigated behind the scenes, and the shots that killed Liu Hezhen were not fired by the army, but by the black hands behind them, who killed the students and put the blame on the government. Inciting conflict between the two sides. β
Cai Yuanpei said a few words, and the teachers and students present were all dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that this was true, there was any crime in this world. It's all done by the government, and they, the scholars, have always been right, and occasionally they act excessively, which is also for the sake of the country.
In the subconscious of almost every literati, they put themselves on the moral high ground, they will not make mistakes, they are scholars, how can they be deceived!
The moment they heard Cai Yuanpei say this, all the teachers present were dumbfounded, they didn't believe it was true at all. Their first reaction was that Cai Yuanpei was confused and fell for Zhang Tinglan, or that Cai Yuanpei had simply defected, who knows what happened during the time he was arrested, maybe the old man couldn't stand the coercion and temptation, and was willing to act as a puppet of the government.
Looking at these people's suspicious eyes, Cai Yuanpei also shook his head and sighed, how many people were too naΓ―ve, and how many people had ulterior motives, which made him feel a sense of powerlessness.
Cai Yuanpei said to everyone: "Students, as your principal, you should always listen to what I say, this thing is indeed strange, everyone honestly go back to class, wait for the results of Zuihou's investigation, you must stop making trouble, this kind of meaningless procession, not only can not solve the problem, but will only complicate the problem, so that the bad guys have a chance!" β
Cai Yuanpei said loudly: "Just now, who threw stones at these soldiers, are you still petitioning peacefully, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and thugs?" β
In the face of loud reprimands, some of these students lowered their heads silently, and some of them still looked disapproving, they really couldn't accept such subversive words, they just thought Cai Yuanpei was sick.
"I'll just ask, do you still recognize me as a headmaster?"
These people were finally silent, and Cai Yuanpei said loudly: "As long as you admit it, you will return to the school for me immediately, don't make a mess!" β
At that moment, the sound of neat footsteps sounded in the streets, and countless soldiers with loaded guns poured in from all sides, and they surrounded the students.
As soon as they saw this scene, the teachers and students finally felt frightened, so they withdrew one after another. At this time, Zhang Tinglan and Tang Shaoyi also rushed over, and behind Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Henian followed closely.
If such a big thing happened in the capital, Zhang Tinglan naturally would not be stupid enough to let things get out of control, so he mobilized the elite to enter the customs at the first time, and the first division, as Zhang Tinglan's most trusted troops, naturally would not be an exception.
Zhang Henian followed behind Zhang Tinglan and said angrily: "Handsome, these scholars are just shameless, if you want me to say that they will all be abrupt, and the world will be clean!" β
"Don't make trouble for me, tell the brothers that your task is to keep an eye on Dongjiaomin Lane and Xijiaomin Lane, and the public concession in Tianjin, as well as the open sea, all of which I will see. Once we expose the British, the Powers will jump over the wall, so we must guard against their counterattack. β
Zhang Henian nodded hurriedly, and at this time, Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but say, "Humble words, are you really going to announce it?" I'm worried that relations with Britain will break down completely? β
Zhang Tinglan smiled bitterly: "I have no choice, if we don't publish the truth, we will have to carry the black pot, once we lose the understanding and support of the people, can we still sit in our current position?" β
Yang Yuting also said: "Even if we don't announce it, the great powers will not let us go." In short, we are tearing our faces, and instead of sitting and waiting for death, we should fight hard, and at least let the people of the whole country stand on our side. β
Tang Shaoyi heard this, and nodded silently, they all rushed to the barracks, at this time Cai Yuanpei was still standing here dejectedly, the old man seemed to be ten years old in this short period of time, and he looked extremely haggard.
After Tang Shaoyi saw it. was also a little distressed, hurriedly walked a few steps, grabbed Cai Yuanpei, and said, "Mr. Cai, are you okay?" β
Cai Yuanpei suddenly smiled bitterly: "Shaochuan." I'm ashamed of my students, I really don't deserve to be this principal. I'm quitting right away! β
"Don't worry!" Zhang Tinglan also walked over: "Mr. Cai." The top priority now is to find out the truth, we have controlled Zuo Chengpeng, let him tell us what the truth is! β
As soon as Cai Yuanpei heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Indeed, I can't be a fool anymore." Things have to be cleared. β
Everyone entered the barracks where the students were detained, and at this time, Chang Yinhuai also escorted Zuo Chengpeng here, and Cai Yuanpei frowned when he saw Zuo Chengpeng. He still has some impressions of this student, his grades are not bad, and he usually performs very positively, and he is also very prestigious among students, he really can't imagine that this student will have any problems.
"Zuo Chengpeng, tell everything you know, and don't hide anything."
Zuo Chengpeng nodded, and then said: "I'm afraid this matter started when I was in middle school, I entered a church school, and the teachers in it were very good, they taught us all kinds of homework, and they also told us all kinds of situations in Western society. In short, at that time, in their depictions, the West was a paradise. I have been studying very hard, and I hope that one day I will be able to leave this sea of suffering. As a result, when I was about to graduate from high school, the pastor who taught me English talked to me all night and asked me to work for them, and if I could do what they told me, I would be able to fulfill my wishes. β
"You've acceded to their request?" Chang Yinhuai asked.
Zuo Chengpeng raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling, and then said: "That night they arranged a woman in my room, a very beautiful woman, and that was my first time. From then on, I honestly followed their arrangements and entered the university. β
"I have inquired that there are three kinds of students who come out of the church, one is ordinary students, and it is enough for them to remain pro-Western. The second type is students who are quite gifted, who will be sent to higher schools, or even study abroad, and when these people return to China, they will become celebrities from all walks of life and turn to serve the West. The third is to be trained as a spy and spy on all kinds of information. Originally, I was the second type, but in recent years, there have been more and more student movements, and their influence on the country has become more and more, so they have felt the need to take some intervening actions, so they have developed several internal responses! β
"What is the name of your church school and what country is it?"
"Notre Dame, British. After Wang Kemin and Tang Erhe were taken down this time, the British were annoyed and angry, and wanted to show the new government a little color? β
Cai Yuanpei heard this, his teeth creaked, church schools are not uncommon in the Republic of China, public schools, private schools, church schools, between these three, almost develop together, constituting the three major systems of education in the Republic of China.
For those priests who came all the way to China to spread knowledge and the gospel, Cai Yuanpei also respected them very much and had friendships with many people. But when he heard Zuo Chengpeng's words, he immediately felt that there was a problem, these church schools were simply under the guise of education, cultivating completely Westernized students, and even directly developing spies, which was simply hateful!
"What's the matter with the dead Liu Hezhen, is she also a student who was bought by the powers?" Cai Yuanpei asked loudly.
"No, she's so stupid, how could the powers want her." Zuo Chengpeng smiled disdainfully: "She has a great desire to perform, her personality is flamboyant, and she doesn't look like a girl at all." This kind of person happens to be taken advantage of. As soon as she got the news, she took the initiative to contact the students of various schools, launched a demonstration, and rushed to the forefront, thinking that she represented justice, but she didn't expect the British to secretly arrange gunmen and kill her. β
Zuo Chengpeng smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect the British to be so ruthless, I know that I am guilty, and I don't want to live anymore, I just hope to make the viciousness of the British public, so that everyone knows their faces." I hate it so much, they ruined me! β
When Zuo Chengpeng said this, he howled and cried bitterly, Cai Yuanpei watched from the side, and his heart was also inexplicably sour. Zhang Tinglan waved his hand and asked Zuo Chengpeng to take him down and take care of him.
"Mr. Cai, a good haode child, he was trained as a lackey by the powers, tell me, should this education industry be managed?"
At this time, Zeng Youyi also said: "This is just a student, is the teacher's team really pure, the wind of total westernization has prevailed in recent years, and those who worship foreigners abound, I have to say that this is the result of years of hard work in the West." Looking at the whole world, only the Northeast holds high the banner of industry, truly develops industry, strengthens national defense, and which is right and which is wrong is right at hand. β
Faced with irrefutable facts, Cai Yuanpei could only nod painfully. At this time, another operation was also carried out completely, according to Zuo Chengpeng's confession, Notre-Dame Cathedral is a large church. There are schools, hospitals, and nurseries, and on the surface, there are a lot of homeless people, a lot of good deeds, and a large group of believers.
Tian Mu and Xue Ju were in charge of this operation, and after some analysis, the Notre Dame was heavily guarded, and it was not easy to control it quickly and not give them time to destroy the evidence.
Xue Ju proposed to let some soldiers disguise themselves as guests of a wedding, deceive the door, and then quickly control everyone in the church, Tian Mu also agreed to this idea, and after some careful preparation, they successfully entered the Notre Dame Cathedral, and then controlled all the people inside with lightning speed.
Westerners engage in colonization, one relies on guns and the other relies on the Bible, the church is an important tool for them, and Notre Dame also shoulders multiple missions. Since the successful planning of the bloody case, the British have been very proud, and just a few bullets have made China mess up, and the effect is really good.
As for whether the Chinese will find their heads, these people did not think at all that the church was British and protected by the treaty, even if the Chinese ate the heart of the bear and swallowed the gall of the leopard, they did not dare to move roughly.
It was this arrogance that cost them dearly, and the Feng army controlled them all with little effort.
Tian Mu and Xue Ju also found the basement in the back, which contained an external radio station, various correspondence, and a large number of archives. With these things, then the evidence is ironclad, and the British don't want to overturn the case.
At this moment, someone suddenly came to report: "Oh no, the British soldiers are coming!" (To be continued......)
