Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, the high efficiency of the Guards Brigade was reflected at this moment.

After receiving Gao Jiyi's warning, the combat readiness duty room began to operate at high speed. The first to be informed was Guo Songling, the young marshal's right-hand man, who immediately ordered the Overseer's Mansion to be strengthened, and an infantry company reinforced the guards of the Marshal's Mansion with four machine guns.

Next, the cavalry company directly under the Guards Brigade divided its troops into platoons and attacked them separately on the road where Zhang Zuolin might return. Considering that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and the guards around Zhang Dashuai are limited---- according to Date Konosuke's confession, there are no less than five groups of men and horses waiting for the opportunity to make a move on Zhang Zuolin, on the road between the 27th Division and the General's Mansion, the Kwantung Governor's Mansion also dispatched the personnel of the Kwantung Special High-tech Branch---- I don't know how many people there are, Guo Songling immediately made a decision and arranged for Wang Yizhe to guard the General's Mansion in the center, and he and Han Linchun each led a foot and cavalry to guard along the way. At the same time, the 27th Division was also notified by telephone to the combat readiness duty room, asking it to send cavalry units to assist in the operation. Compared with the Guards Brigade, the 27th Division has an integrated cavalry regiment, but there are more than 1,000 people.

However, on that day, there was only one regiment commander at the top of the 27th Division, and although Yu Zhen was an old man in the army, he was confined to the guard for a long time, and his command ability to the 27th Division was limited, and he could not have a better response, but only raised the combat readiness level of the troops and strictly prevented the Japanese from taking advantage of the chaos to storm the camp.

This was less than ten minutes before the assassination.

Guo Songling and his entourage can be said to be a send-off in the snow, and after getting this new force, Zhang Zuolin's cordon has rapidly expanded a lot. On the way back to the General's Mansion, there were no more accidents.

After seeing the machine guns and heavily armed soldiers set up at the gate of the General's Mansion, the frightened Zhang Dashuai took a long breath and said to Zhang Hanqing: "What a good soldier brought by Xiao Liuzi! "---- it seems that Xiao Liuzi still has a good eye for people, Guo Songling and Gao Jiyi are both loyal and capable, Jiang Huanan's loyalty has been tested, and even Han Linchun won the jackpot---- he heard that Zhang Zuolin had returned home safely, and he took Qingjie with him, and even arrested two armed Japanese ronins who were not open-eyed.

Since then, he has had a very good impression of Guo Songling, and Gao Jiyi has also made great contributions to it. At Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, Gao Jiyi finally had the opportunity to lead the army alone, and was promoted to the director of the "Fengqing Bureau", directly responsible to Zhang Hanqing, less than a month after he last served as the assistant to the director, and it can be said that he was the biggest winner in this incident. However, Yu Zhen, due to improper disposal, was lowered a notch in Zhang Zuolin's heart.

Enraged, Zhang Zuolin decided to retaliate against the Japanese, and he set up a team and directly asked the Japanese consulate in Mukden for representation. After all, fifteen assassins were captured alive, half of them were Japanese, and there were seventeen corpses at the scene, and the explosive bombs that Zhang Zuolin was in distress were also intercepted by Gao Jiyi on the spot. Now the witnesses are deliberately kneeling in the open space in front of the consulate, and the bombs in front of them are lined up, which is enough for the Japanese to lose face!

Zhang Zuolin took advantage of the mentality of mourning soldiers and directly directed at Yoshida Shigeru: "Mr. Yoshida, I, Zhang Zuolin, have always acted worthy of my Japanese friends, but what did they do to me?" Who wants my life from Lao Zhang? If there is no explanation for this matter today, it will never be good! ”

At this time, the influence of the Japanese government in Northeast China was far less far-reaching than it was ten years later, and Zhang Zuolin was its agent in Mukden, which was recognized by the Japanese cabinet and many "people of insight." The Japanese government believes that so far, no one has been able to replace Zhang Zuolin in Mukden, so the country generally supports Zhang Zuolin as their agent. This assassination incident was purely the work of a small group of Japanese soldiers in the Kwantung Governor's Office.

At this time, the Japanese military department is far from being able to empty the cabinet as it was later, and the Japanese political party still has a very strong grip on the country, and if this matter ferments, Yoshida Shigeru believes that the government will definitely use this to strike a blow to the military department's strength. Although he is a member of the civilian government, he does not want to see such a situation---- he is also one of the believers in militarism.

And, more crucially, China's rising momentum has made many Japanese politicians not optimistic about fighting China head-on now, after all, China's national power has not yet fallen to the bottom, and Japan is far from its pre-World War II peak. It was only after another 20 years of development in history and another 20 years of chaos that China entered another 20 years of chaos that the gap between the two countries reached the level that the Japanese thought could be fought on this basis. Despite this, it is true that the Japanese first carried out local explorations and had the ambition of all-out invasion of China only after digesting the three eastern provinces, which were not inferior to their own industrial strength.

He fully understood Zhang Zuolin's anger, and he was also worried that the other party would take risks under the rage, so that Japan's years of painstaking management in the northeast would be turned into a disaster, even if Japan had complete confidence and ability to suppress the other side's military conflict. He said to the menacing Zhang Zuolin: "When such a thing happens in Fengtian, I dare to swear to heaven that this has absolutely not been supported by our government and even the Kwantung Army, and I myself absolutely agree with getting along with Zhang Zuojun." ”

Zhang Zuolin just took the opportunity to make trouble, but he didn't have the determination to tear up relations with the Japanese---- even if he tore his face? At that time, the entire Beiyang Army was not an opponent of Japan, let alone a small overseer? However, if he makes such a fuss, it is no problem to dissipate his anger, and those Japanese are basically hopeless if they want to survive.

In order to alleviate Zhang Zuolin's anger, Yoshida Shigeru urgently contacted the Kwantung Governor's Office, decided to lose his pawn and promised to comfort Lao Zhang with heavy profits, and they arranged for Tanaka Yoshiichi, the head of the Manchu Army's military affairs section, who had a close relationship with Zhang Zuolin, to make peace. There is a legend that during the Russo-Japanese War, Zhang Zuolin was once arrested by the Japanese as a spy for the Russians, and at the juncture of being shot for espionage, he was fortunately rescued by Tanaka, who was then a staff officer of the First Division. Lao Zhang didn't admit or deny this, but it is a fact that his relationship with Tanaka has always been very good.

Under Tanaka's mediation, Zhang Zuolin's anger was much lowered, but he insisted that the Japanese side severely punish those who undermined the "Sino-Japanese friendship." At his request, the hapless Major General Doi was scheduled to return home in advance and ended with a demote and transfer to the reserve; Kanto Tegaoke at the expense of the Ming pile in the provincial city of Fengtian; Shigeru Yoshida, on the other hand, asked China for Zhang Zuolin's 5 million arms loan, which was about to expire, to be repaid for another year; As for the unlucky Colonel Mimura, he also apologized for his disembowelment.

This incident made the Kwantung Governor's Office disgraced, and also led to the fact that for a long time, the Japanese in Mukden did not dare to make new moves against Zhang Zuolin. However, Zhang Zuolin and their knots also ended.
