Yi Liang said: "Lafayette, this incident is extremely bad, according to the information reported by the new army in Shanhaiguan, the soldiers of the seventh battalion guarding the customs of our Daqing Dynasty are missing, and it is basically certain that the soldiers killed by the Hainan army are among the thirteen soldiers.

According to the investigation, this time the Hainan army soldiers blamed our Qing army on the head of the Qing army after harming the surrounding villagers.

So, Galeries Lafayette, this incident is the most obvious provocation by the Hainan army against our Qing army. Weichen thought that our Qing army should go out of the customs and strike at the Liaodong garrison in Hainan. Drive them out of the Liaodong Peninsula. ”

Cen Chunxuan said: "How did the thirteen Qing soldiers run to the military warehouse in Hainan. I think there are some things that need to be clarified before making a decision. Isn't it too casual to rush to send troops! ”

"It is said that he was deceived by soldiers of the Hainan army."

"Pure nonsense!" Cen Chunxuan said, "According to the information I know, these Qing soldiers who were killed were not our people, but just wore the clothes of our army. ”

Yixuan smiled and said, "Is Lord Cen quibbling!" The Hainan army is gathering in Liaodong, even if there is no such incident, our DPRK should have sent troops to encircle and suppress it a long time ago, and you are still saying here, is it meaningful to ask the question of whether they killed the soldiers of the new army? In addition, the local people were also extremely dissatisfied with the Hainan garrison.

Lafayette, Weichen thinks that my Celestial Empire army can no longer hesitate, if it is still tolerated and nurtured, those rebel armies will follow suit, and at that time, if they all think that my Dynasty is good at bullying and swarming to expose the rod, the scene will really be uncontrollable. ”

As soon as Cixi heard that the rebel army would follow suit, she suddenly felt that the problem was a little serious, so Cixi said: "Yixiao, order the new army guarding the pass to prepare for war against the Liaodong garrison in Hainan!" ”

Qu Hongji said: "Lafayette, please be cautious, this is a conspiracy deliberately created by the Japanese, don't be fooled!" I can't afford to fight now! If this war is started in a fit of anger, Lao Chen is worried that it will be out of control. ”

Cixi squinted her eyes and thought for a while and said, "Well, in this way, first order the army to prepare and see how the situation develops before making a decision!" ”

At this moment, in the Hainan garrison headquarters on the Liaodong Peninsula, Li Chuang asked Chen Zhong for his opinion on how to deal with the incident in which Wang Meng shot and killed five unknown soldiers.

According to military law, Wang Meng should be sentenced to death, but this is the result of Wang Meng's demagoguery.

Chen Zhong asked MI6 if the one named Xiong Kun, that is, the Japanese spy Kojima Xiong Erxi, has been caught now.

MI6 reported that this small island Xiong Er disappeared after Wang Meng was arrested.

Chen Zhong pondered for a moment, and then he said: "General Li, you ask the field service department to contact a newspaper, and tomorrow, this king will hold a press conference at the west gate of the Third Army's quartermaster warehouse." At that time, all the remaining Qing soldiers and Wang Meng were brought to the scene, and the names of the surrounding victimized villages were organized, and the king was to try the case on the spot. ”

That night, MI6 captured Kumaji Kojima and interrogated him overnight.

Kojima Kumaji admitted that he was a spy for the Japanese army and accepted the instructions of Akashi Genjiro to create friction between the Qing army and the northeastern garrison of Hainan in order to achieve the goal of war between the two armies.

The next morning, Chen Zhong held a press conference at the west gate of the munitions warehouse. Reporters from domestic and foreign newspapers came to the scene.

At the scene of the reception, the remaining soldiers pretending to be Qing soldiers were also escorted to the scene.

A reporter from a newspaper in Beijing asked: "Mr. Wang of Hainan, you have personally come to Liaodong this time to deal with this matter, do you feel that the Qing army may go out of the customs on a large scale to go to war with your Liaodong garrison over this incident?" ”

Chen Zhong said: "This king has never been afraid of fighting anyone, but this king is not willing to be forced to fight a fearless war in this situation!" The reason why I invite you here is to clarify the origin of this incident, and at the same time, to reveal the truth to the world! ”

A British reporter said: "Isn't it true that in fact, it was one of your senior officers who killed five Qing soldiers? There were a lot of reporters who were there that day. How do you deal with this general in your military law? ”

Chen Zhong said: "These five Qing soldiers are not right, they can only say that they are wearing Qing army clothes and pretending to be Qing soldiers. As for our army's stipulation that the act of killing Qing troops without reason in violation of discipline should be punished with capital punishment. However, General Wang Meng of our army did not violate military discipline, and of course there is no need to take responsibility. ”

MI6 reported that Kojima Kumaji had already poured out all the reasons and fully admitted that the soldiers were completely instructed by him to create this case.

Chen Zhong said: "Our army has captured the Japanese spy Kojima Kumaji, you can go and interview the soldiers next to you, this king will punish them together today." That's all for today's press conference. This king is going to deal with these Japanese spies pretending to be Qing soldiers, if you are willing to stay and watch, please feel free, this king has left an observation seat for you, and brought Kojima Xiongji and Wang Meng together. ”

MI6 soldiers brought Wang Meng and Kojima Xiong Er to Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong pointed to Kojima Xiongji and asked, "General Wang, do you know who he is?" ”

Wang Meng's face was dazed: "Lord Wang, he is my friend Xiong Kun, an antique dealer." ”

Chen Zhong ordered the intelligence officer of MI6 to read Kojima's information to everyone present: Xiong Kun, formerly known as Kojima Kumaji, is now six years old Chinese New Year's Eve, a member of the Japanese Shin household register, and a senior spy of the Special High Division of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In September last year, he came into contact with Yang Sheng and met Wang Meng through Yang Sheng's relationship, but Wang Meng didn't know about it.

During this period, Kojima Xiongji created a number of incidents in Liaodong pretending to be Qing troops, harassing the Hainan garrison, and mutilating the villagers where the Liaodong garrison was located, stimulating these villagers' dissatisfaction with the garrison. The purpose of constantly intensifying the contradictions between them was to provoke the Liaodong garrison.

Kojima Kumaji infiltrated the pass again, led people to secretly kill thirteen soldiers of the seventh battalion of the Qing army, and then asked the Japanese bandits in the Changbai Mountain area to wear these Qing army clothes to create this incident.

Chen Zhong said: "So far, this is the whole truth of the incident, those eight soldiers tied aside, all of them are remnants of the Japanese army, these are these people, in the villages around the Liaodong garrison, burned fifteen houses, committed more than a dozen ** cases, killed more than 20 villagers, and robbed a lot of property, this extremely bad behavior, how can this king ignore!" ”

He asked Wang Meng to loosen his ties, and said to Wang Meng: "This king will not only not investigate your behavior, but also give encouragement, take this gun, take your people, and bring all these vicious Japanese army remnants to justice on the spot!" ”
