Chapter 356: Mandala and the Caged Bird

108371908 Far Eastern Maniac Chapter 36 Mandala and the Caged Bird

Bian Jin. Japanese Concession. Fukushima Barnyard Bureau, Resident Community Affairs Bureau.

In a small conference room of the bureau, several Chinese were waiting here, led by Duan Jin, and the others were also flag men.

They've been here for almost half an hour, and their patience has almost worn out.

"What are these Japanese grinding around? It is said that the Japanese are quick in doing things, but why can't I see the Japanese in being quick? ”

Holding a cup of Indian tea, Eldenbu snorted a few times.

"You don't speak, no one treats you as a mute!" Duanjin glanced at Erle Dengbu.

Guishan, who was standing at the door of the conference room, walked back and said to Duanjin: "Master, Mr. Nishizawa has been gone for more than half an hour, and it looks like it's almost noon, we don't know when we have to wait." ”

Eldenbu also walked over and said, "Why don't we go out for a meal first?" I'm looking. This Japanese doesn't seem to be in charge of the rice, and I can't eat the Japanese food

"Eat, eat! You kid knows how to eat! Half of the rivers and mountains of our Great Qing Kingdom are destroyed here! If our banner people can shift their minds on eating to governing the country, if we banner people can move their minds about fighting crickets and raising birds to governing the country, how can we run around now without a landing? ”

Duanjin kicked Erle Dengbu, and was about to teach again, when the figure at the door of the conference room flickered, and he walked in today, it was Nishizawa Gongo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce this one, this is the "Eight Banners outside the Guan". Righteous men sent

Kimio Nishizawa walked into the conference room and flashed to the door. There was another person behind him, but it was a man dressed as a coolie, who looked to be in his twenties, and if it weren't for the beard, I am afraid he would have looked younger.

"Brother" Dongshan Hao "King Meng Gong and King Su are raised, and now it is the leader of the Blue Banner As soon as the man walked into the conference room, he hugged Duanjin and the others, which was regarded as a greeting.

After listening to this person's self-registration number, Duanjin and the others immediately understood that this person should be from the green forest. At present, King Gong and King Su are recruiting rebels in the three eastern provinces and the Mongolian steppe, and many of the so-called "Eight Banners outside the Guan" they organized are bandits from the northeast.

"Brother Duanjin, the eight banners in the Guannai, and now one in white." Duanjin is also straightforward.

The "Dongshan Hao" listened to Duanjin's self-registration number, "haha" smiled, shook his head and said: "Duanye is polite, you were white in the past, but now, you are the squire of our Manchurian Army!" ”

After speaking, he took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, handed it to Duanjin, pointed to the yellow silk, and said: "Duanye, this is your farewell, Prince Gong's own handwriting, and there is the national prestige of our Manchukuo on it." This time, the brothers came, firstly, to contact with the heroes who had returned to the country, and secondly, to send this farewell, so that Duanye would know that King Gong and King Su were both princes who knew heroes and valued heroes, and they would never suffer losses if they followed them! In the future, if the restoration of the country is successful, Duanye is at least the grace of an earl

"Manchukuo?"

Listening to the words of "Dongshan is good", Duanjin suddenly collapsed his face and became cold. Duodao: "We are recovering the Great Qing Kingdom, not Manchukuo." You're saying the wrong thing, brother. ”

"That's right, let's "Eight Banners outside the Guan, and now the country that is restored is not the Qing Dynasty, but Manchukuo. If you don't believe me, you ask Mr. Nishizawa. Higashiyama is good" pointed to Nishizawa and threw this hot potato to this politician today.

Duanjin and the others looked at Nishizawa Gongxiong.

With a helpless expression, Nishizawa shook his head and said: "It's a pity that as the former Great Qing State, it has irretrievably lost the hearts of the people and the recognition of all countries. If you want to restore the country of the flag people, then. We have to change the name of the country, because the Diet of our Empire of Japan has passed a bill. Prepare for the formal diplomatic recognition of republican China. If you want to establish a country outside the Kansai area. Then the name of the country must be changed, because for our Great Japanese Empire, the diplomatic recognition of Republican China is equivalent to the recognition of the demise of the Great Qing Dynasty. This is a helpless thing, and it is impossible for Japan to make the same diplomatic recognition of the Great Qing Dynasty at the same time as the diplomatic recognition of the Republic of China, and if you want to obtain diplomatic recognition from the Japanese government after the founding of the country, you must change the name of the country. ”

"According to what you mean, if we return to the country outside the border, then we have to call it "Manchurian State?" You Japanese recognize the Republic of China of the Revolutionary Party on the one hand, and Manchukuo of our banner people on the other, so aren't these two countries? ”

Guishan was stunned, and everyone present realized that Japan was planning to divide China into two parts diplomatically.

"There is no way to do this, and as sympathizers of the cause of the restoration of the flag people, we Japanese can only express regret about it. However, in my opinion, the most urgent task at the moment is not the issue of the country name. Instead, they quickly launched an uprising in the three eastern provinces. Only if you banner men act first, can we, the Imperial Government of Japan, have sufficient reasons to intervene, otherwise, not only will the Japanese Government not take action. Even the Russian government will not take any action. After all, for the European powers and the United States. They will never allow Japan to take unilateral military action

Nishizawa's words silenced the conference room, and everyone pondered.

"So, when will the Zhuo Qing of saving the emperor start?"

Duanjin put aside the matter of "Manchukuo" for the time being, and began to care about the most urgent matter.

Kimio Nishizawa looked at him, "Higashiyama is good." Then he said: "About the rescue of Emperor Xuantong." At present, the opinions of the Eight Banners outside the customs have not been unified. They believe that the Alcohol Palace's Mansion is heavily defended, and although you have an inside line available, you can communicate with each other inside and outside, but you want to rescue the emperor from the secluded place safely. And send it to the three eastern provinces, it is almost an impossible task, and if His Majesty the Emperor is injured by the guards during the operation, then, whether it is King Gong or King Su, will feel guilty about it. Therefore, they thought that the matter should be postponed for a while, and wait until the Eight Banners Righteous Army in the three eastern provinces raised the incident. I won't discuss the matter any more."

"You don't have to say it. I understand their thoughts, they are afraid that if they rescue the emperor, they will not be able to be the emperor themselves. Back then, Yue Fei, a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, wanted to save Huizong and Qinzong, but Gaozong was unwilling, so Gaozong had such a mind

Duanjin raised his hand and didn't let Nishizawa continue to speak, his gaze moved to the place, "Dongshan is good." face. Questioned: "Dongshan is good" You are from the three eastern provinces, better than us, you, do you want to be the emperor of Manchukuo, or does King Su want to be the emperor of Manchukuo? ”

"Higashiyama is good. was stunned, hurriedly shook his head, and said, "Where does Duanye want to go?" In fact, everyone is worried about the safety of the Emperor Xuantong, and everyone wants to find a foolproof way to save the emperor. ”

"Foolproof? I'll tell you the truth. No! If you want to save the emperor, you must take risks! Now that Yuan Shikai is critically ill and the capital is in chaos, it is the best time to save the emperor, miss this opportunity, and want to save the emperor in the future. That's daydreaming! Although Yuan Shikai is a usurper. But he has also been a courtier of the Great Qing Kingdom, and he will not be too harsh on the emperor, but the united front is a bunch of mobs, how they will treat the emperor, it is not easy to say, if the world really calls the united front to sit, say no, they will give the emperor a glass of poisonous wine, then our group of banner people will die and cannot be redeemed. ”

When Duanjin said later, he was emotional, and he fell Dan while talking.

These tears were shed for the abolition of the emperor. It was even more for himself, for the cause of the restoration of the Qing Dynasty, he led a group of people to run around all day long, but he only got the title of "Squire of the Military Department", and in front of him, the outlaw who was born as a bandit leader was actually a leader, so in contrast, how could he not let him cry?

"Mr. Duan doesn't have to be sad, things can be discussed. Now the flag man must be twisted into a rope. to make a difference. This time, "Eight Flags Outside the Gate." Sending people south is to unite with you, the "Eight Banners of Guannai", and if you can't unite for a trivial matter, it will be very detrimental to your cause of recovering the country. ”

Nishizawa Gongxiong persuaded a few words, and he also understood in his heart why Duanjin was in a hurry to rescue the Manchu Abolished Emperor, because for Duanjin, a group of Guannei banner people who had no roots in the northeast region, the Xuantong Abolished Emperor was the only political capital they could rely on, if they couldn't rescue him from the house arrest of Kuwangfu. And send it to the three eastern provinces to re-ascend the throne, then, even if the "Manchurian State" is established. It is impossible for their "Eight Banners in Guannai" to get real power, so they began to plan a rescue operation not long ago, planning to rescue the deposed emperor Xuantong from the Alcohol Palace, transfer it to the Japanese concession in Tianjin, and then send it to Mukden by Japanese warships to re-ascend the throne.

Whether or not to save Xuantong and abolish the emperor is not important to Nishizawa Gongxiong, what matters is how to instigate the "Eight Banners outside the Guanwai" to launch an armed rebellion as soon as possible and completely mess up the three eastern provinces, only in this way. Only then can the Japanese government and military ministry work together to further expand in depth and depth in Northeast Asia. Seek Japan's best interests.

Just as Duan Jin said, news came from Beijing yesterday that Yuan Shikai was critically ill, and that Beiyang was now in chaos, and that the war between the north and the south had not yet ended, and that China was now a pot of porridge, and this situation was very conducive to Japan's bold action. But because of the fear of opposition from other powers. Japan could not directly send troops, so Japan could only rely on the old and young remnants of these banner men, and borrow their hands to first establish a puppet state in the three eastern provinces, and then stand by.

If the armed rebellion is postponed because of the rescue of Emperor Xuantong and the abolition of the emperor, it will be very unfavorable to Japan, so after a little consideration, Nishizawa decided to support Duanjin

"I think Mr. Duan's opinion is correct, if it is a very appropriate time to rescue Emperor Xuantong now. However, as a backup option. I think we have to prepare for the worst for this rescue operation, and if Emperor Xuantong unfortunately dies in the rescue operation, then we will have to support another member of the royal family. ”

Nishizawa Kimio's words calmed down Duanjin. After hesitating for a moment, Duanjin nodded and said, "Mr. Nishizawa is very thoughtful, so let's do it." ”

said that being so, he had already made up his mind in his heart in case Emperor Xuantong was killed in the operation. Then, he supported Xuantong's biological father, King Zaihan, as the emperor, and no matter what, he had to take the initiative in the hands of the "Eight Banners in Guannai".

That "Dongshan is good" obviously does not have its own claims. Seeing that everyone reached an agreement, they had no choice but to agree.

"I wonder if your inside line is reliable or not? "Higashiyama is good" only concerned about this issue.

"Over the past few days, we have communicated with the alcohol king, and it all depends on this person, and this inside line is still reliable. He was a man of Zhao Erxun, the former governor of Sichuan. Although he was not a banner man, Duanjin, who was still loyal to the Great Qing Kingdom, nodded.

"Then, please ask Mr. Duan to contact this person immediately and ask him to get ready. Now the capital has to implement a curfew every night, and the action at night is unrealistic, only the daytime action, once the emperor is rescued, it must be immediately sent to the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane, where it enjoys extraterritoriality, and the Beiyang government will never dare to pursue Nishizawa Gongo said.

"What if Beiyang sends troops to fence off the embassy area? The emperor still can't go to the northeast, Guishan asked.

"There is no need to worry about this, sending troops to surround the embassy district is equivalent to declaring war on the great powers, and the Beiyang government will definitely not dare. Moreover, I can inform the relevant parties to transfer a reconnaissance balloon and transport it into the embassy area. Emperor Xuantong could be sent out of the capital with balloons at night. ”

Nishizawa Gongxiong's words made Duanjin and the others a little impatient, and the two sides discussed the details a little and left.

Later that day, a commercial telegram was sent from the German Concession Telegraph Office in Tianjin, and the receiving office was the Hankou German Concession Telegraph Office, but the content of the telegram signed by the reporter "Tieqiao" was somewhat strange:

"Manjuro wants the caged bird and asks me for help, and he urges him very quickly. Where to go, I hope the general number will decide. ”
