Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Eight

poison Li Dazhao The chaos in China is as chaotic as a cow's hair.Those who succeed will fail miserably in the chaos; those who lose will also survive the chaos and develop. Just when Zhang Zuolin was at his wit's end, great changes took place in southern China: Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" coups in Nanjing and Shanghai, massacred communists and revolutionary masses, and severely destroyed a nascent revolutionary force.In order to completely wipe out the revolutionary forces in the south, Chiang Kai-shek decided to suspend the Northern Expedition.Turn the army of the Northern Expedition to suppress the Communist Party.It was at this time that Wang Jingwei of the Wuhan government took advantage of Chen Duxiu's capitulationism to launch the July 1st coup and withdraw all the Northern Expeditionary troops that had entered Henan to Wuhan to deal with the Communist Party.

Jiang Wang echoed, and stopped a vigorous war that had already formed a huge momentum to crusade against the warlords, and turned it into a concerted effort to crusade and suppress the Communist Party.The powerful threat Zhang Zuolin faced was blown away by a gust of wind.Zhang Zuolin opposed the revolutionary army, especially the Communist Party. When the revolutionary army went to fight the Communist Party, he suddenly had the idea of ​​north-south cooperation and joint anti-communism.Zhang Zuolin is alive again! Foreigners who had been calm about the situation in China were also active: the British ambassador to China, Lampson, traveled from Hankou to Guangzhou, and from Guangzhou to Hankou, shuttled between Wang and Jiang, and facilitated their alliance to deal with the Communist Party; Zuo Fenli, Director of the Provincial Negotiation Bureau, worked tirelessly to "cross the ocean and come to China. He not only traveled frequently between Wuhan and Guangzhou, but also frequently traveled along the triangle line E between Wuhan, Guangzhou and Beijing, lobbying for "Southern ] Dagger cooperation".

The excited Zhang Zuolin was unwilling to be lonely. On the one hand, he received the British and Japanese envoys "enthusiastically" and was willing to cooperate with the South. Those who jeopardize law and order will be severely punished; those who gather speeches and slander the government will be severely punished; those who form secret societies and promote redism will be shot to death; strikes will kill those who create chaos..." One day, the old relatives sent Liang Shiyi to lead Zuofenli from the Negotiation Bureau of the Japanese Foreign Ministry to Zhang Zuolin's mansion.Zhang Zuolin led them to the secret room, and after tea and smoke, the "deal" began.

The Japanese said condescendingly: "We are not interested in the situation in China. We care about the career of the commander-in-chief and want to express some opinions on the future of the commander-in-chief." Although Zhang Zuolin heard that the Japanese "not interested in the situation in China" was a lie, he still said: "Zuolin understands the empire's concern for China; Zuolin welcomes Mr. Bureau Chief when he comes to Beijing in person. I hope to hear from Mr. Bureau Chief." Goodbye." "Not a good idea." The Japanese were humble. "It's the advice of a bystander. China's top priority is north-south cooperation. If the commander-in-chief can unite with Mr. Jiang, China will enter a stage of construction that will be safe and sound."

Zhang Zuolin originally had the most heated fight with the South, and was about to be eaten by the South. He looked forward to such a "cooperation" with the South, but he still said: "We have fought against the South for many years, and we have a lot of grievances. I am afraid that we will not be able to sit together for a while. Besides, our respective opinions are not the same, and when we join forces, we seem to be at odds with each other." "It doesn't matter." The Japanese said: "The commander-in-chief should realize one thing: If Mr. Jiang hadn't aimed at the Communist Party, his army and Mr. Wang's army in Wuhan would go north side by side. In that case, the commander-in-chief might fight alone. But they. Wouldn't the situation be worse..." Zhang Zuolin immediately became nervous again when mentioning the revolutionary army's northward march.Yes, isn't the Fengjun and the Zhilu allied forces under his command retreating steadily? If Jiang Wang hadn't turned to face the Communist Party, maybe Zhang Zuolin would have retreated to the northeast again.The Japanese's words sent a chill down his spine!

"Actually, it is beneficial for China to join forces between the North and the South. It's just that both sides need to make practical efforts and show sincerity." Zhang Zuolin let go. The Japanese laughed. "Mr. Jiang has already shown his sincerity. All the troops of the Northern Expedition retreated south. This is the greatest sincerity. Didn't the commander notice it?" "Yes, yes!" Zhang Zuolin nodded and said, "It's just..." At this moment, Zhang Zuolin felt that he didn't know what sincerity he should show? He took out his handkerchief and gently wiped his forehead.Taking advantage of the Japanese topic, Liang Shiyi chimed in and said, "The commander-in-chief will understand Mr. Jiang's current intentions in the future. He has to eliminate the Communist Party. The Communist Party exists in the south as well as in the north. If the commander-in-chief can focus on doing work in his own jurisdiction, tell him The military, police, and constitution are strictly hunting down the leaders, which is naturally a sign."

The Japanese also said: "Li Dazhao, the chief criminal of the Red Party, is in Beijing. Mr. Jiang pays special attention to him." Zhang Zuolin nodded one by one, keeping it in mind.However, he still thought anxiously: "I have to be cautious in this step." After seeing off the lobbyists, Zhang Zuolin took Yang Yuting and his son Zhang Xueliang to the secret room, and seriously discussed the countermeasures. The affairs in the north were done long ago, and his team was in the south again. Sun Chuanfang should have gone back to Nanjing long ago.However, he still didn't move.

Sun Chuanfang has something on his mind! He came to the north secretly, but the Tianjin newspapers announced his whereabouts.Whether it is praise or derogation, it doesn't matter to Sun Chuanfang.The most important thing is that the world knows about Sun Chuanfang's whereabouts, and he is afraid that someone will keep an eye on him.It is a long distance from Tianjin to Nanjing, and most of the distance is in Shandong, which is the territory of Fengjun! Shi Congbin's subordinates are all there. If someone avenges Shi Congbin, he only has a few entourages with him, which is very dangerous. Must be captured.He thought of Xu Shuzheng, a warlord of the Anhui clique a year ago. This generation is known as the "Little Fan Military Advisor". He can be described as a resourceful and resourceful person who has repeatedly done tricks!" Wasn't he killed on the special train in Langfang from Jingnan? There will be such a tragedy, I am thousands of miles away..."

Seeing that Sun Chuanfang never left, Zhang Zuolin sent someone to urge him.Said, "It's tight in the south, so we should go back early." However, Sun Chuanfang concluded the "Jinlan" with Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Xueliang on an excuse, and was unable to leave for a while.Later, it was Yang Wenkai who told Zhang Xueliang what was on his mind, and Zhang Xueliang reported it to Zhang Zuolin.Zhang Zuolin suddenly realized, and then asked Zhang Zongchang to "handle the escort." Zhang Zongchang was originally from the green forest, but he is straightforward in his roughness.After accepting the task, he said to Sun Chuanfang: "I am a graduate of Green Forest University, and I am wild, but I know that I kowtowed before burning incense, which was born in my mother's stomach. With this little affection, I will protect you Return to Nanjing safe and sound."

Only then did Sun Chuanfang let go of her hanging heart.On the day he left, Zhang Zongchang sent a company of infantry to go south with the car. Sun Chuanfang returned to Nanjing, and according to Zhang Zuolin's account, "reorganize the team and prepare for a counterattack"—unexpectedly, this counterattack lost all the territory south of the Yangtze River, so he had to retreat to Jiangbei.Zhang Zuolin also ordered Zhang Zongchang to send Chu Yupu, Xu Kun and other troops south, and supported him with a large amount of military pay. Sun Chuanfang finally gained a foothold on the line between Yangzhou and Bengbu.

Just when Sun Chuanfang had just established himself, Zhang Qun, Chiang Kai-shek's secret envoy, came to Nanjing. Through Yang Wenkai, he wanted to see Sun Chuanfang.Zhang Qun, Yang Wenkai, and Sun Chuanfang were all from the Japanese Military Academy and were classmates.Yang found Sun in time, explaining that Zhang Qun wanted to see him. "What did he see me for?" Sun Chuanfang said despondently, "Persuading surrender? Or peace?" Strong who he wants to rely on.So he said: "Then you It represents my trip to Nanjing. "Sun Chuanfang said again: "But you must not make any decisions.Let's discuss when we come back. " Yang Wenkai went to Nanjing, and Zhang Qun treated him enthusiastically and frankly.He said straight to the point: "Mr. Jiang trusts General Sun very much, and hopes that General Sun can fly the banner of the blue sky and white sun. In that case, Mr. Jiang appointed him as the deputy commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army and the commander-in-chief of the North China Allied Forces." Yang Wenkai said: "I can convey Mr. Jiang's kindness to General Xinyuan. Whether I can accept this appointment? General Xinyuan has to decide for himself." Yang Wenkai returned to Yangzhou and reported Chiang Kai-shek's opinion to Sun Chuanfang.Sun Chuanfang thought about it -- two dazzling big hats were placed in front of Sun Chuanfang, which one to choose? Sun Chuanfang couldn't make up his mind for a while.So he invited all the "civil officials and generals" around him to discuss with them.After discussing for three days, they were still indecisive; they discussed again from Yangzhou to Bengbu.In Bengbu, they discussed day and night.How difficult! Where should Sun Chuanfang's team go? They themselves can't make up their minds; to Chiang Kai-shek? I still don’t understand; Xiang Zhang? Sun and Zhang have fought many times in melee. They split and united. Although they are united now, they will still be divided in the future. The five provinces are no longer complete. What should we do in the future? Will Zhang sincerely help? Sun Chuanfang and his civil and military officers were undecided.They simply left the matter behind.Just when Sun Chuanfang didn't know how to advance or retreat, several gentlemen in long robes and jackets came to Bengbu from Hangzhou, saying that they would definitely ask to see Sun Chuanfang if they had something important to do.The leader is Zong Fumi, who is famous for his tea business and has a talent for lobbying. He is nearly seventy years old and has a thin face. He used to support Sun Chuanfang in Hangzhou in the past.Sun Chuanfang rushed to meet them.When this old Mr. Zong saw Sun Chuanfang today, he had tears streaming down his face before he could speak. Sun Chuanfang supported him with both hands, and said, "Mr. Zong, why is this? It's been a long time since we met today. You should be overjoyed!" "Lian Shuai, I can't talk anymore." Zong Fumi sobbed and said, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Sun Chuanfang ordered people to offer tea and cigarettes, asked about the warmth and comfort, and then said: "Several elders are coming from afar. There must be something important. Then please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will spare no effort." "Lian Shuai!" Zong Fumi said: "Zhejiang people miss Lian Shuai! Since your army left, Zhejiang has been in darkness. Chiang Kai-shek's army is lawless, extorting and oppressing the people. I look forward to you! We old people were entrusted by the villagers, and we did not hesitate to risk our lives to meet the Lianshuai, and hope that the Lianshuai can save us from the fire." Saying this, they knelt down in front of Sun Chuanfang together. Sun Chuanfang was moved. He bowed down, helped up one by one, and said: "The elders in Zhejiang love Xinyuan so much. I will live up to everyone's expectations. I will go to the south of the Yangtze River in a few days to avenge the people!" After all, they ordered people to hold banquets and entertain them, and generously donated travel expenses one by one--in fact, although this group saw Jiang Jun's harsh donations and bad manners, the purpose of their trip was not to plead for the people, but to Sitting bored, he came to Sun Chuanfang to "beat Feng Feng" in a different way.When they received Sun Chuanfang's generous gift, they left contentedly. Without discussing with anyone, Sun Chuanfang took advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's efforts to destroy the Communist Party and had no time to take care of the northern warlords, so he rashly sent his 60,000 troops to the south of the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, in the battle of Longtan, Sun's army had more than 20,000 People were drowned or killed in battle, 20,000 people were captured, and the former enemy commander-in-chief Liu Shilin and five division commanders and brigade commanders were all captured.Sun Chuanfang's entire family was wiped out after this battle! He had to flee north for his life and lived under the fence of Zhang Zongchang in Jinan.The few generals who accompanied him were mostly from Baoding Military Academy, and they had a bad impression of Zhang Zuolin in the green forest. Soon, they all became generals of Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the National Army.Sun Chuanfang's career as a military leader also came to an end. Zhang Zongchang was in Jinan, and although he held the banner of the Zhilu League, his power gradually weakened.Shandong told him to be troubled and poor, the people complained, the local power gradually expanded, coupled with the tyrants' instigation, gradually forced Zhang Zongchang to leave Zhang Zuolin, and established himself as the Shandong Provincial Security General Headquarters.Zhang Zongchang quit. "Well! If you want me to leave the commander-in-chief, I won't do it. I can't be in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han!" Zhang Zongchang didn't know that there were people behind this group of Shandong local snakes.Zhang Zongchang refused to be independent, and soon, Nanjing appointed Chen Tiaoyuan as the chairman of Shandong Province.In a rage—and unable to change it—Zhang Zongchang led the Zhilu coalition forces to leave Shandong and head for Zhili.At this point, Zhang Zuolin's power extending south of the Yellow River ceased to exist. War is full of magic! Just when Zhang Zuolin was getting sleepy, another protracted and dramatic battle between Fengjin and Jin took place in Zhuozhou. A year ago, in 1926, Zhang Zuolin and Yan Xishan jointly expelled Feng Yuxiang to Shaanxi and Gansu.In the autumn of this year, Feng's army fought against the Northern Expeditionary Army in Henan. When they were defeated, Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan joined forces to fight against Feng in an attempt to cut off his return. In September 1927, Yan Xishan personally led the main force out of Niangziguan and arrived in Dingzhou. He divided his troops into the mountainous areas of the Shanxi-Hebei border area and penetrated into the northern section of the Beijing-Han line and the eastern section of the Beijing-Sui line. The Generalissimo of the Army and Navy who broke away from Zhang Zuolin, joined the National Army and walked into the same trench as Feng Yuxiang! The Jin army came fiercely, like a broken bamboo; Feng's army was caught off guard and lost important places.After several consultations with the staff, Zhang Zuolin adopted the roundabout suggestion of Xia Heyi, the Chief of Staff of the Legion, and sent the 29th Army Ji Yiqiao to insert into the Jin army's side from the left wing, and then suddenly launched a pincer attack. The Jin army was defeated and retreated to the railway line. , Fengjun reoccupied Zhengding, Dingzhou, Shijiazhuang, Xuanhua, Zhangjiakou, Chaigoubao and other places. When Yan Xishan fled into Niangziguan, even the seals and documents of the headquarters were seized by Fengjun.This war was supposed to end with the disastrous defeat of the Jin army. However, the Fourth Division of Fu Zuoyi's Division of the Jin army occupied the Zhuozhou area and fought alone. However, there was a miracle of warlord melee-it lasted for more than two months, and finally they shook hands and made peace. Zhuozhou is located in a plain, there is no danger to defend, but the city wall is high and thick, only a kilometer away from the Beijing-Han Railway line.The city has a rectangular shape, about 3 miles from north to south, and 2 and a half miles from east to west.When the Jin army occupied Zhuozhou, the main soldiers of the Feng army split up on the Beijing-Han and Beijing-Suizhou railway lines, and only Wang Yizhe lived in Baoding to fight the battle.In the fierce battle, the Feng army suffered heavy casualties.Zhang Xueliang immediately sent more than 30,000 people including the Huang Shiyue Department of the 15th Division, the Xigu Department of the 23rd Division, the Sixth Artillery Brigade, and engineers to join the battle. From October 16th to 27th, four consecutive general offensives were launched, using nearly a hundred large and small cannons.Although the troops attacking the south approached the city wall, some climbed up the city wall, but because of the lack of range of their own cannons, they were self-injured, and the attack on the city made no progress.Unable to attack for a long time, Feng Jun decided to call in tanks to attack.As a result, the six tanks transferred to the battle were all post-war waste products bought from France. Not only were they slow to move, but the large and small wheels in the trackless track were all made of wood, covered with a layer of iron sheeting, and the firepower came from the side, and they immediately became dead car.More than half of the tanks were lost shortly after entering the battle.The officers and soldiers of the Feng army were at a loss! The coach Zhang Zuolin was at a loss! In the end, Zhang Zuolin decided to use poisonous gas bombs (chlorine gas shells) against the displeasure of the world.Wan Fulin, who was in charge of commanding the artillery to launch poisonous gas bombs, said confidently on the artillery position: "I have committed a crime! Not to mention the people in the city, even the rats will not be left behind!" Feng Jun fired five hundred poisonous gas in a row.However, when their siege infantry rushed up, the Jin army's guns were still firing, and the firepower was very fierce! Wan Fulin panicked.He immediately sent the chemical warfare expert from Belarus to the headquarters and lost his temper. "What's going on, to no avail?" Belarus spread his hands and said helplessly: "There are too few shells! During the European War, tens of thousands of shells were fired in a single battle to be effective." In fact, the batch of poisonous gas bombs in Zhang Zuolin's hands were all from the First World War. The remaining materials are a batch of waste products that have long lost their effectiveness.This is a blessing in misfortune, otherwise, the ancient city of Zhuozhou would have been razed by Zhang Zuolin.However, Yan Xishan still sent a telegram to the whole country, condemning Zhang Zuolin for using poisonous bombs on the battlefield first.Zhang Zuolin's poisoning was condemned by Chinese people as "destroying humanity!" The city could not be captured, and he was charged with poisoning. Zhang Zuolin was furious. "Damn it, I can't beat Fu Zuoyi if I don't believe it?" He found Wan Fulin, the front-line commander, and said to him, "Don't fight, just dig trenches around Zhuozhou and put up barbed wire. If he doesn't surrender, he will be killed." They all starved to death in the city!" Wan Fulin ordered the siege troops not to attack again, and to dig and build siege trenches with all their strength, one foot deep and two feet wide, and tighten the blockade. Zhang Zuolin observed outside the city of Zhuozhou for a long time, and finally shook his head and thought; only siege with trenches is not the solution to the war.It was protracted, and there was not so much time, and he wanted to end the war quickly and honorably.Therefore, he began to disintegrate the Jin army, and sent representatives to talk with the generals of the Jin army.When nothing worked, Zhang Zuolin called his senior staff officer, Yu Guohan. "Guohan, you were the one who went to Shanxi on my behalf when the three families of Zhi, Feng, and Jin were united. You were the instructor of Fu Zuoyi's Baoding Military Academy. How about writing a letter to Fu Zuoyi? I don't want to see them trapped to death. If he is willing to return, it is easy to discuss." The poisonous gas bomb has already brought Zhang Zuolin a bad reputation, and the people of the country are all gnashing their teeth; now, he dare not use more cruel methods to trap this army to death.Besides, there are countless people in Zhuozhou. Yu Guohan wrote a letter with the nature of persuading surrender and threw it into Zhuozhou City. Fu Zuoyi has made up his mind to fight to the end, and will ignore any temptation or persuasion.This time he heard that it was a letter from the teacher, so he had to open it and read it.After reading the letter, he wrote a brief reply and cast it out of the city.The letter said: "The teacher taught us the tactics, but it's a pity that he didn't surrender, so he didn't dare to obey." The persuasion failed again, and Zhang Zuolin thought about it: "Is it true that this army and the people of Zhuozhou were trapped in the city? Yan Xishan has already been defeated and returned to Shanxi, and Zhuozhou has no great strategic significance. If it is trapped, this crime is not a crime. Small!" I don't know if it is the recovery of human nature or the renewal of the war situation? Zhang Zuolin was still firing poisonous bombs a few days ago, but today he has become charitable.After Yu Guohan received the letter of "refusal to surrender", Zhang Zuolin was not angry. Instead, he sent Senator Wang Jianqiu to lead Fu Zuoyi's Shanxi Association representatives to Zhuozhou; The representative entered the city to negotiate and allowed food such as grain and vegetables to be sent into the city; he also said that if Fu Zuoyi opened the city, he would respect him and give him preferential treatment; he would not discriminate against the recruitment of soldiers from the Jin army. At this time, Fu Zuoyi had defended Zhuozhou for more than two months , the soldiers and the people were in trouble, and Luo Jue was poor. Yan Xishan looked at the overall situation and felt that Zhuozhou had lost its strategic significance, so he instructed Fu to negotiate with Fengjun. Jin and Fengjun issued a telegram on December 30, 1927 to stop military operations, and in January 1928 On the 6th, the city gate of Zhuozhou was opened. Fu Zuoyi, dressed in civilian clothes and with a bandage wrapped around his injured arm, led senior officers and staff out of the south gate; Fengjun Wan Fulin and other senior officers lined up outside the gate to welcome them. , Shake hands and make peace, and say goodbye to each other! A battle between Fengjin and Jin that lasted for two months finally came to an end. Li Dazhao, a member of the Communist Party of China, disregarded the white terror in Beijing and actively mobilized the masses in the north to launch an anti-imperialist and anti-warlord movement.The momentum was huge and the influence was profound. Not only the warlord government panicked, but also Chiang Kai-shek and other imperialist countries hated him deeply.After the British and Japanese imperialists instructed, Zhang Zuolin wagged his tail like a dog, and immediately called the head of the Jingshi Police Department, and severely reprimanded him: "Why do you keep so many policemen? There is a Communist Party member in Beijing, Li Dazhao. You can’t catch it. Chiang Kai-shek captured and killed the Communist Party thousands of times in the south, so you can’t learn from it? Don’t you want to eat this bowl of rice? I limit you to one month, and Li Dazhao must be captured.” After Chiang Kai-shek's rebellion in the south, Li Dazhao was already very vigilant. He promptly transferred to the former barracks site of the West Court of the Soviet Embassy and hid it, turning from open struggle to secret struggle.This was originally an extremely safe place, but he was surrounded by veteran spies placed by the police agency.As soon as the Beijing police received the order to arrest him, they reported to Zhang Zuolin about his situation. Zhang Zuolin was very happy to know Li Dazhao's whereabouts.Immediately, he issued an order to the police department: "Send troops immediately, arrest him and bring him to justice!" Yang Yuting stopped him and said, "Commander, you can't do anything." Zhang Zuolin stared and asked, "Why can't you do it?" People, it is a violation of international conventions. That will inevitably arouse the objections of the missions. If they protest, things will be troublesome." "Oh! There is such an international law? So, we have to keep our eyes open and let Li Dazhao stir up trouble there!" Yang Yuting thought about it for a long time, and said: "I think it's like this: Japan, Britain, the United States and other countries are against Soviet Russia. Let's send people to negotiate with them first. Please don't get involved in this matter. The Soviet Russia itself, It's easy to deal with." "Yes, yes! This is a good way." Zhang Zuolin said, "You are an old acquaintance with the Japanese Minister Fang Ze, so you should go to him first. Then go to that British man." Yang Yuting was ordered to come to the Japanese Legation, and Fangze warmly received him.After the congratulations, Yang Yuting said: "Your Excellency Fangze, in the country of Changzhou, the Communist Party has recently caused riots, and I want you to know about it. In order to prevent riots, the government of Changguo will enter the embassy area to arrest the Communist Party member Li Dazhao who instigated the riots. I hope you will support it and invite all countries to The embassy understands." The Japanese touched his mustache and smiled. "Is that the university professor who advocates anti-imperialism and anti-warlord? We have information that he went to the Soviet embassy." Yang Yuting said: "Yes, that's him. Li Dazhao hid in the Soviet embassy. Soviet Russia has always supported the Red Party riots." "Our Beijing government's attitude towards preventing redification is understandable; the measures to be taken are supported. However, arresting people in the embassy area is against international law. I'm afraid..." Yang Yuting hurriedly said: "Our commander-in-chief has always been well aware of his support for your government." The Japanese laughed. "For the sake of Sino-Japanese friendship, I can talk to the diplomatic corps and advise them not to get involved in this matter. However, you must keep this matter a secret, and neither of us will say that we met each other." "So, where in England?" "Nature is on me too." The two smiled at each other, and Yang Yuting left. With the support of envoys from Japan, Britain and other countries, Zhang Zuolin was confident.He sent hundreds of heavily armed gendarmes, secret agents, and police officers to break into the Soviet embassy. In spite of the Soviet ambassador's solemn protest, he searched the old barracks in the embassy and arrested Li Dazhao and several others, including the Kuomintang. Leftists. Li Dazhao fell into the hands of warlords, and the court did not dare to open the court session, so it had to try it in secret.However, they exhausted their punishments, but did not get a single confession from Li Dazhao. The court had no choice but to report to Zhang Zuolin.Zhang Zuolin shouted loudly: "Li Dazhao is a Communist, as long as he admits this, he will be pulled out and shot!" "Yu Shuai," Yang Yuting stopped him and said, "You can't do this." "Why can't you?" "Li Dazhao has a great influence on society. Public opinion has expressed sympathy for his arrest this time, and newspapers from all over the country have also issued news. If he is executed in secret and the newspapers expose it, it will be detrimental to your prestige! Besides, Li Dazhao It's just the enemy of the Kuomintang, we..." "What do you propose?" "At present, we should adopt the method of persuading surrender." Yang Yuting said: "First impress him with fame and fortune. If he is willing to submit, the current turmoil will subside. With a buffer time, we can find an excuse at any time in the future to get rid of him." Lose." Although Zhang Zuolin felt that this method would not work, he still said, "Hey, killing a Communist Party member is more troublesome than fighting a big battle. Just go and try." When Yang Yuting came to the prison, the warden introduced Yang's identity and then withdrew.Li Dazhao was wearing a half-worn gray cloth gown, his face was stained with blood, and he was sitting on a pile of grass.Yang Yuting said to himself: "Ah! This place is too ugly! It should be improved." He turned his face, and then said to Li Dazhao: "Mr. Li, you have been wronged." Li Dazhao just tilted his head and said nothing. "I heard that the people below were very rude to Mr. Li, and we are very sorry. We came here today to express our condolences to Mr. Li, and secondly, to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Li. I have no other intentions." Li Dazhao puffed up his chest, wanting to say something.But he didn't speak, just turned around. Yang Yuting smiled lightly, and said: "Mr. Li, with your knowledge, you are naturally capable of doing great things. You will play a role as the president of a university, as the director of the Department of Education, and as a civilian local official. You are excellent in learning. What about being an official? To be an official, to be a scholar, to be honorable and leisurely. Mr. Li, we can still satisfy you with these conditions." Li Dazhao sneered.Said: "Chairman Yang, what I need, but unfortunately you don't have it!" "Let's talk about it." Yang Yuting said, "Can we discuss it?" "What I need is national integrity! You don't have any of it. Therefore, we will never be able to work together." Yang Yuting was annoyed. He blushed and said, "Li Dazhao, you have failed our sincerity. The consequences will be tragic!" "Even if you die!" Li Dazhao closed his eyes and turned around. Yang Yuting's lure failed, and Zhang Zuolin became more determined to kill Li.At this time, Beijing students, teachers, celebrities, and workers all took action one after another, supported by public opinion, and discussed rescue measures.In another corner, there is also a terrible storm: Chiang Kai-shek sent a secret message to Yang Tailin: Please kill Li Dazhao and other important Communist Party criminals quickly to avoid future troubles! Zhang Zongchang also sent a telegram: Public opinion supports the Red Party, although it is not a plot to riot, troops can still be sent to suppress it if necessary. Zhang Zuolin was watching the telegram, thinking about the recent situation, and he was in a state of confusion: "Kill Li Dazhao? This is obviously for Chiang Kai-shek; what will Chiang Kai-shek give me?" Zhang Zuolin was trying to settle the score.His arrest of Li Dazhao has already drawn opposition from public opinion across the country, and he has a premonition that he will suffer a great reputation. "If I don't kill Li Dazhao, what benefit will the Communist Party give me?" Zhang Zuolin regards the Communist Party as a devil, and he can't tolerate this word. "Chiang Kai-shek does not oppose the Communist Party, and I will not tolerate the Communist Party!" Finally, Zhang Zuolin wrote a crooked word "kill" on a material about Li Dazhao. One dawn, the police secretly escorted Li Dazhao into a gloomy house of the police chief, and suddenly announced that Li Dazhao and others were sentenced to death.Then, escorted by heavily armed military police, he drove into the Jingshi Detention Center in a car.The road is heavily guarded and the traffic is cut off, just like a big enemy pressing down on the border.The car drove into the detention center, and immediately closed the courtyard door, and then pushed Li Dazhao and others to the gallows.Li Dazhao said loudly: "You hanged me today, but you will never hang communism! I firmly believe that one day you will also be sent to the gallows!" Li Dazhao died, very heroically! He was only 38 years old when he died.Along with him were 20 other martyrs including Communists Fan Hongjie, Xie Boyu, Tan Zuyao, Yang Jingshan, and Kuomintang leftists Deng Wenhui and Zhang Yilan.
