Reading newspapers aloud

To the martyred spirits, even though they had quarreled with Ren Xiaosu and were angry with him, they still acknowledged he was the future commander of the Northwest Army. They never denied he represented the future of the Northwest.

So after everyone calmed down from their anger, they seriously considered Ren Xiaosu's suggestion.

But just as Commander Li had said, it would be really difficult to say where the future of the Northwest lay if these more than 200,000-strong martyred army were to become a single person's private army.

Therefore, no one would make such an important decision so hastily.

In the following days, Ren Xiaosu continued coming to the memorial square daily to tear up newspapers. Meanwhile, the martyred spirits continued cursing him angrily as usual.
