Respectfully

Baizheng's banditry has been eliminated, but the governors of several provinces don't want to make the people who are behind the scenes so comfortable. They go to other people's homes to make troubles, and they want to get out of it?Think beautifully!

But Yuan Baoshan, Song Qining and others are not without brains, and Sanma and Liu Fuxian are not outright reckless. This matter involves too many aspects, and the water is a little deep. The lid must be lifted, but not all.

Britain can't be provoked yet, and Russia can also be released first. The Japanese scumbags are originally smoke bombs and scapegoats pushed by these foreign devils.

The Japanese Concession in the six southern provinces and the Shanghai Public Concession are bustling, and Song Qining, a group of Japanese in Hankou, Hubei, has long since disliked them.

After Song Zhou learned the inside story of Baizheng's rebellion, he slapped his thigh and sent a telegram to President Lou Da immediately. This matter was well utilized, and the Japanese Concession in Hangzhou and Suzhou was just around the corner!

"Will the Japanese jump over the wall in a hurry?"

To take back several Japanese Concessions at once, the Japanese will definitely be furious, and the powers of various countries who previously adopted a tacit attitude towards the Chinese army's takeover of the Tianjin Japanese Concession may also feel a sense of crisis.

"Yes, yes, but we have a dog-beating stick in our hands, and there is nothing that foreigners can do."

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Zhan Changqing had dealt with ministers from various countries, and he had his own way of dealing with them.He has already seen it clearly, regardless of the alliances and agreements of European countries, they are actually in charge of their own affairs, as long as they can give enough benefits, and they have a handle in their hands, they should not use force for Japan and China .

If you don't use force, just use your words, this matter will basically be resolved.

When it comes to verbal wars, the Chinese people are really not afraid of anyone.

The situation in Europe is becoming increasingly tense. Last month, the Austro-Hungarian Empire almost fought with Serbia. It is difficult to send troops to defend each other on a palm-sized land boundary.As for the United States, they can be gagged with silver dollars.It is possible for Russia to send troops, but there is a young marshal Lou who is in charge of the six northern provinces, and they have to carefully weigh the gains and losses. If they come to "Manchuria" again, the polar bears will lose all their face and pride.

Japan is the only one left. Their navy is strong, but the army...it's really not Zhan Changqing who bury them. I'm afraid they will be beaten if they come.Prime Minister Yamamoto, who keeps reducing the army's military expenditure, is really China's "confidant".

The homicide case in the Shanghai International Settlement has already taken shape, and Tong Kou and others who committed the crime have been arrested one after another. Although the only witness, Ned, has disappeared, it does not mean that these people will not be convicted.

Don't look at the fact that Japan is always clamoring to leave Asia and enter Europe. In the eyes of Westerners, they are a group of monkeys from beginning to end.Even though the number of Japanese expatriates is already higher than that of foreign nationals in the concession, the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry in the concession still does not have a place for them.Including the joint trial of the public by the judiciary, because the culprit in the case was identified as a Japanese, the Japanese consul was even deprived of the qualifications of jurors.

The case did not involve Chinese, and the Chinese interrogator did not participate in it. The "court" of this country within a country has been completely controlled by Westerners.Shimoda, the Japanese Consul in Shanghai, and Yamaza, the Japanese Minister Plenipotentiary in China, were only granted the right to observe.

"asshole!"

Yamaza lost his temper in the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, but until now, it is useless for him to tear down the consulate.The consulates of various countries headed by the United Kingdom closed their doors to the Japanese. On the day Tongkou and others were arrested, their photos appeared in the newspapers. The French organized another demonstration and directly blocked the entrance of the Japanese consulate to protest.The police in the concession didn’t want to maintain order at all. The British were drinking tea and reading newspapers in their offices. Stone.

"damn it!"

Teacups, documents, pen holders, and office chairs were all pushed to the ground. Consul Shimoda dared not take a breath, let alone say that this was his office.Minister Shanzuo was a fierce man who knocked Uemura, the naval savage, to the ground with a single punch. He thought he was no match for Uemura, so it was better not to make a sound.

Two days before the trial of Tongkou et al., the "truth" of Bai Zheng's rebellion appeared in various domestic newspapers.The declaration in the Shanghai International Settlement is even more eloquent about this. Both the British and Russian envoys know what role their own people played in this matter. wonderful.

As a result, the newspapers did not mention Britain and Russia at all, and directly added the halo of the big boss behind the scenes to the Japanese, implying that this incident was planned and promoted by the Japanese embassy in China.

Enjiro Yamaza, Japanese Minister to China, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. No matter where he went, he was "star-bright" and "radiant".

In fact, he was also wronged. The British and Russians were behind the tricks, and Japan pursued the tradition of "the next beats the top". The whole thing was done by his subordinates, and he really didn't know it at all.Military officer Sakanishi knows about it, but he and Yamaza are both colleagues and competitors, so naturally they don't want their "credit" to be divided up. Kenji Doihara also knows about it, but Sakanishi is his master, and Yamaza just appreciates his boss , not directly under the boss, there is always a close relative.Now, even if Doihara wants to remind Yamaza that it is impossible, he is in Lushun’s cell and is neighbors with Kawashita, the director of the intelligence department of the Kanto Governor’s Mansion, and Yamada racks his brains to ask them about the shocking conspiracy. Eight kinds of martial arts take turns to play.According to the people who interrogated them, the possibility of the two people walking out of the interrogation room alive is basically zero.

Governor Oshima also knew that Prime Minister Gonbei Yamamoto didn't like him, so he couldn't interfere in this matter, otherwise he would get himself involved.

Kawashita and Doihara can only ask for more blessings.

After the truth of Baizheng's rebellion was revealed by the newspapers, Zhan Changqing began to meet with foreign ministers in China in turn. Based on the gold and dollar diplomacy, he would not be soft on those who had a handle.The British and Russians have ghosts in their hearts, the French are gnashing their teeth with hatred for the Japanese, the Germans and China have direct interests involved, as long as the Americans have business, everything is easy to discuss, as for the other countries, soy sauce Continue to make soy sauce, and those who eat noodles continue to eat noodles.

More importantly, Zhan Changqing promised the ministers of several countries that if he could stand on China's side in this matter, or at least not support Japan, then China's railway construction project could be discussed in the next few years.

No matter which country it is, this is an astronomical order.Even if they can't win all of them, winning the railways that run through several provinces is enough for them to make a lot of money.After several consultations, the Japanese were completely helpless.

Talk about the Anglo-Japanese alliance?

For these Westerners, treaties are meant to be broken, and allies are meant to be betrayed.The most typical example is Germany in World War I and World War II, which formed an alliance with Italy twice, and was sold out by Italy twice.I have to admit that with an ally like Italy, William II was as hard-pressed as Hitler.

In the sixth year of the Republic of China, on January 1914, 1 in the Gregorian calendar, the Shanghai Public Settlement Joint Trial Office officially opened a court to hear the murder of a French missionary. As the main suspect in the case, Tong Kou and the other six people were escorted to the North Zhejiang Road The tribunal of the new building.Due to the particularity of the case, the person sitting in the courtroom was not one of the six deputy judges, but the chief judge who was in charge of the affairs of the court.This unprecedented move made the faces of the Japanese minister and consul Shimoda in Shanghai extremely ugly.

The judge of this term happens to be an out-and-out Frenchman.

At the same time, the three Japanese concessions in Hankou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou were successively surrounded by Chinese troops.Song Qining and Song Zhou fought one after another, encircling all the Japanese concessions in their jurisdiction.

Both claimed that the Japanese in the concession were harboring bandits, and they were ordered to hand over the remnants of the Baizheng rebellion hiding in the concession before dark.

Song Qining's actions were well-founded. After all, Bai Zheng and his group had visited Hubei before, although it was a bit far away from Hankou... Song Zhou's excuse was a bit far-fetched, but it didn't bother him. No gangsters?That is to gather crowds to make trouble with ill intentions.What's more, if you don't harbor the remnants of Baizheng, you can also harbor the accomplices of Tongkou's group. In short, if you say you are harboring, you are harboring. It is useless to justify, and it is also useless to protest.

The two did a better job than Lou Xiao did when they were in Tianjin. Not only were they not allowed to leave, they were not even allowed to enter, which completely cut off the connection between the Japanese Concession and the outside world.

Song Wu personally led the troops to surround the Japanese Concession in Suzhou. Looking at the panicked faces of the invincible Japanese in the past, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ichiro Imai, who cooperated with Song Wu, also ordered the people lurking in the concession to wait for an opportunity to stir up trouble. In any case, the concession must be brought into chaos as soon as possible.

"Imai-kun, a telegram from you."

Oriko, wearing a gorgeous kimono, walked into the room, and respectfully placed the telegram just received in front of Ichiro Imai.Imai didn't rush to read the telegram, but turned his head to look out the window, "Oriko, do you think Ichijo-kun will come back alive?"

Zhizi didn't speak.

"Yeah, what an obvious thing, they will die like Takashi Koyama." Imai sighed and turned to look at Zhizi, "I will send you to Dalian, are you ready?"

"Yes."

"Don't ask me why?"

"Do not."

"Very good." Ichiro Imai nodded, "Go get ready."

Oriko exited the room, Imai Ichiro picked up the telegram, and after reading a line of words on the telegram, his hands trembled faintly.

Xiao Shanqing, Xiao Shanlong, Yiyi... When will it be his turn?

Was it true that he chose to cooperate with Song Wu?Song Wu is too ruthless, whether it is against the enemy or... But now, he has no way to turn back.For the common hope of the dead and the living, he must continue on this road, even if one day he will be smashed to pieces.

At this moment, Imai Ichiro seemed to understand what Xiao Shanqing was thinking when he resolutely went to die.

Maybe God still thinks that the Japanese are not unlucky enough. On January 1, Tongkou and others were tried. On the day when Japan was besieged in the Chinese Concession, major Japanese newspapers revealed that the Ministry of the Navy Matsumoto, Lieutenant General and Iwasaki Tatsuto The major general and others took advantage of their position to take back the deductions.They took money from the Germans and the British respectively. As the next candidate for the Marine, Matsumoto and Lieutenant General received a kickback of 23 yen from the British alone!And the pride of the Japanese, the start-up capital of Yawata Steel is only 40 yen!

As soon as the news came out, the whole of Japan was shaken. Angry crowds flocked to the National Assembly and the Ministry of the Navy. The Japanese cabinet members headed by Gonbei Yamamoto did not dare to show their faces. Anyone who appeared in front of the angry crowd would be stoned.

Japan is very poor now, workers are unemployed, farmers are short of harvest, rotten eggs and rotten vegetables are precious food, and cannot be wasted on these shameless guys!

Many democrats and those who opposed the emperor saw an opportunity. They rushed to the front of the crowd, waving their fists and loudly denouncing the corruption of those in power. Will inherit the legacy of the heroic Koyama, and work hard for their common ideals and to overthrow the emperor!

The situation gradually got out of control, and the police alone could not maintain order. It was not until the First Division of the Japanese Army guarding Tokyo dispatched a brigade to "calm down" the emotional crowd with bullets and bayonets.

This is the famous Siemens incident in history. At this time, the Japanese cabinet has long been overwhelmed, and has no energy or ability to manage the Japanese expatriates in China.

The Yamamoto cabinet is already on the verge of collapse.

Li Jinyan has been paying attention to the news in the newspaper these days, and Xiao Youde's intelligence personnel stationed in the south will also send regular telegrams. The takeover of the Japanese Concession in Suzhou and Hangzhou seems to be a certainty, and the Japanese Concession in Hankou will not last for a few days. , But what he didn't expect was that Song Wu would be so ruthless. When Huaxia's army took over the Japanese concessions in Suzhou and Hangzhou, there might not be a few left gasping for breath.

"Master Yan, a telegram from the United States."

It took nearly a month, and the intelligence personnel following Li Jinshu finally found out the real identities of the Jewish brother and sister. They told Li Jinshu that their names, ages and family background were all false. They were not brothers and sisters, but a couple. .

The husband is David, a Polish Jew, and his wife, Aisha, is a Gypsy.The parents they said were just another pair of liars, and even the factory was cheated from others, similar to the leather bag company of later generations, it was just an empty shell.

They did not rely on any forces, and "work" was all on their own.This makes their background look "clean", but it also makes them dare not mess with big shots, and can only start with ordinary people.It was purely accidental to focus on Li Jinshu, but their intuition told them that Li Jinshu would be a fat sheep.

In fact, they were right.

Seeing all kinds of excuses for defrauding money listed in the telegram, Li Jinyan just felt a headache. How stupid is Li Jinshu to lend them money again and again?Borrowing money to open a factory, without knowing the details of the situation, without seeing a lawyer or guarantor, and just giving away 1000 yuan casually?Should he be thankful that the girl at least remembered to write an IOU, even though this IOU is no different from waste paper.

"The methods of these two liars are not very clever," Xiao Youde thought the same as Li Jinyan after seeing the intelligence officer's telegram, but he couldn't say what Li Jinyan could say, at least he was still a relative of Young Master Yan, "But They see people very well.”

That is to say, these two liars are clumsy in their tricks, but they have a good eye for people.

It is true that Li Jinshu would not have such a character from the outside, and they deliberately approached her from the beginning, which only shows that they are very good at "seeing the essence through the phenomenon", maybe these two people are indeed of great use to him.

If you want to spy on information, you need to find the target. Once you kick on the iron plate, 100% will capsize.

"Is there a way to get them from the United States to China? It's best to bring them together with their 'parents'."

"This," Xiao Youde hesitated for a moment, "it's a bit difficult."

"You can find an excuse, if it doesn't work, tie it back!"

Li Sanshao's eyes were cold, Xiao Youde shivered.

kidnapping?

The little leopard lying on Li Jinyan's lap suddenly yelled, and Li Jinyan scratched the fur on the back of its neck, "Mr. Xiao, I leave this matter to you, I believe you can handle it well."

Xiao Youde was speechless for a moment, he is the head of intelligence, not a kidnapper...

In the sixth year of the Republic of China, in mid-February, after more than half a month of trial, the case of the murder of a French missionary in the Shanghai International Settlement was officially closed.

Eight criminals headed by Tongkou, including the deceased Takashi Koyama, were sentenced to death.On the day they were hanged, the execution ground was surrounded by water, and whenever a person was sent to the gallows, there would be cheers in the execution ground.These Japanese ronin with gang backgrounds have done a lot of evil in China. No matter what the reason is, they were hanged, which is really pleasing to the hearts of the people.

In the same month, the Chinese government announced that it would temporarily take over the Japanese concessions in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Hankou.In addition to Hankou, Japanese and Korean nationals in the Japanese concessions in Suzhou and Hangzhou were killed in spontaneous riots, and many Chinese people in the concessions were not spared.

Li Jinshu, who was in the United States, received the 50 yuan remitted by Li Qingyun and the telegram, so he shut himself in the room and did not go out for a long time.Aisha who came to look for her was also blocked from the door.She comforted Li Jinshu through the door for a while, then turned and left. The fat sheep seemed to be running out of juice, and it was time for her to advise David to look for the next target.Aisha has already discovered that Li Jinshu seems to have a crush on David, which makes her very uncomfortable.

As Aisha walked, she was thinking about how to persuade David, but she didn't realize that there was a very inconspicuous Chinese man behind her.
