Chapter 28: The July 1st Movement

The student movement, which took place on July 1, was later defined by historians as the "July 1 Movement." The July 1 Movement happened so suddenly that the politicians of all sides in the Beiping region were caught off guard and were thrown into a hurry.

For this trip to Beiping, He Yingqin has long had a bad feeling. The signing and exposure of the "Hemei Agreement" made him appreciate the best Senran, and accidentally put on the hat of a "traitor". Beiping is his sad place, he really doesn't want to come, but among the big officials in the National Government, he has been in charge of political training in North China for a long time, who will come if he doesn't come? As the "scapegoat" pushed out by the government of the Republic of China - he himself thinks so, sandwiched between the 29th Army and the Japanese, and subject to the people's craze and ridicule, it is equivalent to the rats in the bellows being angry on three sides, which is really uncomfortable. That's why his trip was low-key.

He Yingqin's trip has a long way to go, the reform of the legal currency, the establishment of the cadet brigade, the belonging of Renqiu, the position of the 29th Army, and the negotiations with the Japanese army...... His original plan was to quietly agree with Song Zheyuan on his position first, and settle the "family affairs" such as the fiat currency reform and the student brigade, and then show up in public to fight with the Japanese. But people are not as good as heaven, so he returned to Jurentang from Renqiu, and the dust of this long journey has not yet been washed, and the petition group is here.

The momentum of the petition group was very large, and while he was slandering how Chen Ji'an's Beiping police chief was be, he didn't catch any news in advance, and on the other hand, he wondered if this was arranged by Song Zheyuan and Qin Dechun in advance, and he deliberately made a move to his own power! Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but secretly rejoice that Qin Dechun's appointment as the mayor of Beiping was announced in advance (Lao Jiang's original plan was to see if the situation was to appoint Qin as the mayor of Beiping), just so that he could clean up this mess, but I wanted to see what Qin Dechun and Song Zheyuan looked like when they lifted a stone and hit their feet - with his mind decided, he hid in Xishan to recuperate.

Tu Feiyuan returned to the embassy under the protection of Qin Dechun's subordinates, and on the way, he was clever, feeling that this was an opportunity to fish in troubled waters, just in time to make an incident come out, carry out a major purge of the anti-Japanese forces in Beiping, and at the same time probe the bottom of Song Zheyuan and the National Government, or force them to stand on the opposite side of the Chinese people. After returning to the embassy, he immediately began to arrange troops, armed all the personnel of the embassy, set up machine guns on the embassy wall, and decided to wait for the procession to rush into Dongjiaomin Alley, and then order the shooting, so as to make an incident of the embassy attacked.

The arrangement of the Japanese embassy fell in the eyes of Qin Delin's subordinates, and these simple Chinese soldiers were startled, and Qin Houtu, the commander of the largest guard company with the highest official rank, ordered people to go back to report to Qin Delin, and at the same time led others to set up a card at the entrance of Dongjiaomin Alley, and decided to stop the procession first.

It stands to reason that Qin Delin's appointment has not yet been announced, and he is only a prospective mayor at this time, and he can completely disapprove of the council. However, after learning about this matter from his subordinates, he realized that the problem was serious, and he did not dare to slack off, and immediately asked the soldier who reported the news to bring a message to Qin Houtu, telling him to prevent the students from entering Dongjiaomin Lane, so as not to kill them innocently, and at the same time let him disclose his identity as the mayor of Beiping, and let the students go to the south gate of Jingshan to talk to him collectively.

When the soldiers arrived at Dongjiaomin Lane, the situation was in a stage where there was no room for delay. Qin Houtu knelt in front of the procession and begged the students to stop and not to give their lives needlessly. Behind him, the soldiers of the military police and guard company who rushed to hear the news were already preparing to disperse the crowd with water cannons.

Qin Houtu's kneeling and pleading moved the students, and the student representative Lu Huang and others lowered their requirements and asked to let several of their representatives march into Dongjiaomin Lane, saying that their demonstration was to ask the government to resist the war, and there will definitely be sacrifices in the war of resistance, so the sacrifice starts with me!

Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, the military and police were about to use water hoses to disperse the crowd, but fortunately, the soldiers arrived at this time. The students listened to Qin Houtu's words from Qin Dechun, and after some discussion, they thought that since Qin Dechun was the mayor of Beiping, he could represent the government, so they changed their journey to the south gate of Jingshan and talked to him according to the suggestion.

At the south gate of Jingshan, Qin Dechun had already prepared tea, steamed buns and other food for the students to satisfy their hunger, and his action won the respect of the students and created a good atmosphere for the next conversation.

Qin Dechun first declared that he was also a patriot, and was ready to resist foreign insults at any time, asking students to complete their studies first for future use.

His speech was applauded by the students, and a bloody clash was over. The group of students turned to Juren Hall, preparing to join the students there, so as to strengthen their momentum and hand over the petition to He Yingqin, the representative of the Nationalist Government, to achieve their demands.

Chen Jiayao, as a social activist at Yan University, took leave to participate in the march although he had left the school. Because she studied medicine, she was assigned to the ambulance team and was responsible for bandaging and treating the wounds of the injured. For reasons of duty, she has been paying close attention to whether anyone in the parade was injured, but when the parade confronted the military and police at the entrance of Dongjiaomin Lane, she unexpectedly found a familiar figure when she looked around.

"It's strange, didn't he go to the United States?" Thinking so, she approached to find out. She walked up to the other party and met his somewhat evasive eyes, knowing that she was not dazzled, this person was indeed Ouyang Yun who should have been tossing with the ship at sea. She was taken aback and blurted out, "How are you?" Seeing Ouyang Yun shaking her head slightly, she lowered her voice and asked him almost in her ear, "Why are you back?" ”

Ouyang Yun came back yesterday. After returning to Beiping, he did not show up in a hurry, but sent Pan Meiren home first, and then changed clothes with Liang Dawei, ready to quietly judge the current situation clearly.

After sending Pan Meiren home, there was a little episode - he didn't expect Pan Meiren to be Pan Yugui's niece, and because Pan Yugui's brother died early, Pan Meiren was actually raised by him.

Pan Yugui is a pure traitor in Ouyang Yun's mind, and regardless of whether he has true feelings for Pan Meiren or not, just with her relationship with Pan Yugui, he will not allow himself to fall in love with this woman no matter what!

Gu Lianyun's betrayal was a huge blow to Ouyang Yun, and all the subsequent encounters in Hong Kong can be said to be due to her, if it weren't for Liang Dawei showing up to help, then he would have already left this time and space forever by sitting for free. On the way back to Peking from Hong Kong, he has been thinking about a question, why did he have such good conditions, but now he is so unsuccessful? Later, under the guidance of Liang Dawei, he discovered the crux of the problem - this may be the biggest gain from his encounter.

Liang Dawei saw that he was silent all the way, and he didn't know that he was actually thinking about the problem, and thought that it was because he was heartbroken by Gu Lianyun, so he comforted him and said: From Gu Lianyun's point of view, she is not wrong to do this, maybe in her opinion, it is justice to help the national government complete the great cause of reunification, and this is also her duty.

Although Liang Dawei's words were not right, they also woke him up. Xu is because of the different times he lives in, his thinking habits have always stayed in the past, he likes to think that he doesn't say anything, and his way of doing things is always too much idealism and Lang Manism, relying on the protection of body armor, and he likes to take risks, and he has not really put himself into the melting pot of this era at all. Thinking about this, Ouyang Yun's mood suddenly brightened, and the angle of looking at the problem was different. In this way, he felt that the woman had helped him this time, at least he could see through this incident: how many of those people around him could be trusted.

When the procession passed by the hotel where they were staying, he realized that this was the initiator of the "129 Movement", which was widely praised by people in later generations, and he couldn't help but feel the charm of the "butterfly effect", which brought the movement forward by a full five months. There were many students of the Cadet Brigade in the procession, and he found that Chen Shichang and others were also mixed in, and he became curious, and said that the early launch of this parade actually had the efforts of the Cadet Brigade, so he mixed in and wanted to find out.

It was an accident that the parade was in distress in Dongjiaomin Lane, if Qin Houtu and Qin Dechun didn't stand up, then Ouyang Yun would definitely stand up too. Of course, he did not stop it, but it was very likely that he would light a fire (he did not know the role played by the Japanese in the 129 Movement, and his personality and experience would not be as far-reaching as Qin Dechun considered)! In that case, it is not known what the scale of the events that Tohihara hoped would develop.

Qin Dechun's performance is worth learning from Ouyang Yun, which also makes Ouyang Yun realize the gap between himself and them - his overall view is still lacking. He thought about it seriously and felt that this movement was an opportunity for the cadet brigade, and the patriotic enthusiasm of the students should be transferred to other aspects, such as joining the army and participating in the economic construction of Renqiu and even North China.

After being recognized by Chen Jiayao, he and Liang Dawei stayed with her all the time, and when they went to the south gate of Jingshan, Chen Jiayao quietly told him that many people in the student brigade also participated in the parade, and Chen Shichang was one of the members of the "Ten Schools Autonomous Association", responsible for contacting the schools in Tianjin, and asked him if he wanted to meet Chen Shichang.

Ouyang Yun was trying to find out the situation of the Cadet Brigade, and Chen Jiayao couldn't know the Dao because of his identity and military type, so he accepted her suggestion, and after arriving at the south gate of Jingshan, when Qin Dechun spoke, he and Chen Shichang met in a remote corner.

When Chen Shichang first heard Chen Jiayao say that someone wanted to see him, he thought it was a member of the Autonomous Association, but when he saw Ouyang Yun with a beard, he was stunned at first, and then burst into tears, choking up and said: "Travel, I really didn't expect you to be alive, it's really good!" ”

Ouyang Yun was taken aback, and immediately guessed that Gu Lianyun had already taken action against the Cadet Brigade, but he didn't know what the effect of the Dao was, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly asked about the situation of the Cadet Brigade.

Chen Shichang cried with joy, wiped away his tears at the moment, and gave a detailed answer. I heard that most of the people of the fox pupil did not turn to women; The special service brigade is protected by the wolf's teeth led by Guo Biao, and it is currently safe; Li Tieshu also resisted the temptation, Ouyang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was truly relaxed, and he turned to feel sincerely happy that he had obtained so many reliable partners. He patted Chen Shichang on the shoulder and said: Shichang, hard work! Another question: I'm afraid that this demonstration also has your credit, right? Chen Shichang smiled and told Li Tieshu's arrangement, Ouyang Yun nodded again and again when he heard it, and said, "Next, we have to win the trust of this group of students, isn't our student brigade short of major generals?" These students are excellent candidates. Well, the best way to do this is to invite them to visit the barracks first. ”

Chen Shichang smiled and asked tentatively, "Brigade seat, you are not worried about the future of the Cadet Brigade at all, right?" "Although the Cadet Brigade is now a division-level establishment, it seems to be strong, but the candidate for division commander is Li Tieshu, and the real meaning of his words is to ask Ouyang Yundan if he is worried about his future.

Ouyang Yun smiled: "As long as the Cadet Brigade can persist in resisting Japan and adhere to the current line, no matter who is the commander-in-chief, it will have a future!" Shi Chang, what do you say? ”

"Deputy Brigade Commander Li said that he would not be the commander of this division, and if there was really anything wrong with the brigade, he would resign from the military and then track down the murderer, and he must avenge you. Chief of Staff Ji also meant the same. ”

It was not surprising that Li Tieshu had such determination, but Ji Xingwen's move was unexpected - he and Ji Xingwen had been in contact for a short time, so it can be said that they did not have a deep friendship.

Chen Shichang said: "I guess Captain Guo also means this. ”

"Then they're wrong!" Ouyang Yun sighed and didn't finish his words, if they really did this after he died, although he would be very grateful, but at the same time, he would definitely die blindly, because it meant that the command of the Cadet Brigade would fall into the hands of others, and the nature and future of the team would definitely change as a result, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

"I also think that Deputy Brigade Commander Li is so ambitious that they don't take the overall situation into account," Chen Shichang said, glancing at him, and his voice lowered.

Ouyang Yun smiled, patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Shi Chang, your idea is correct. Compared to our country, what is my life and death alone? Preserving the Cadet Brigade and making it an anti-Japanese army is much more meaningful than helping me take revenge! Hehe, it seems that it is really condescending to let you be the battalion commander. Shi Chang, with your vision, I think the General Staff is more suitable for you. ”

"Brigade, I prefer to fight with the little devils with the team, just like in the Tianjin training camp."

"Ha Luha, what you say is very arrogant, sometimes the merits of the staff of a unit can play a decisive role, and the effect can even exceed that of thousands of troops."

Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang were still talking, Chen Jiayao and Liang Dawei came over and said, "Let's talk in the team, everyone is starting to move towards Jurentang." ”

When Chen Shichang saw Liang Dawei, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted tentatively: "Instructor Liang? ”

Ouyang Yun corrected: "It's not Instructor Liang, his name is Mu Jiandie now." ”

In order to prevent the retaliation of the Lixing Society, Liang Dawei has changed his name to Mu Jian Die, and in order to change his appearance, he completely plucked his eyebrows out of shape. Mu Jiandie winked at Chen Shichang, who smiled knowingly, and then called him Mu Jiandie.
