Chapter 199: Moonlight, River, Smoke and Rain
The next day, Satomi Fu continued to talk with Koji. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 "The base camp believes that negotiation is necessary. But your price is too high, it's hard to agree. I hope you will give in. ”
Xiaolu said: "I didn't announce the fact that Shouichi Terauchi was caught by me to the world, which in itself is the biggest concession." In fact, Wuhan repeatedly asked me about the whereabouts of Shouichi Terauchi and asked me to escort Shouichi Terauchi to Wuhan for a public trial. I admit that openness is good for the morale of our citizens. I was hesitating whether to cancel this concession or whether to announce that I had caught Shouichi Terauchi in the civilian area of Peiping. ”
Satomi said: "If you don't keep it secret, it means you can't negotiate." If the matter is made public, we will not be allowed to negotiate at home. ”
Xiaolu said: "I am a scholar, a soldier, not a politician. My concessions are voluntary, and you need to make concessions as well. ”
Satomi was stunned by the coconut and didn't say it for a while.
Xiaolu said: "I'm not a restaurant owner, but I cook a table of dishes, please come and eat, this is my sincerity." If you eat, you have to pay. This is the basic principle of being a human being. Otherwise, I have nothing to lose by eating it myself. ”
Satomi Fu is an absolute China expert, and he naturally has a deep understanding of these metaphors, but his reply doesn't seem to be so neat, so he avoids the limelight and says: "The meaning of the base camp is that only the release of political prisoners can be discussed." ”
Xiaolu didn't change the topic and said, "How can I eat by myself?" can tell you. We're in business now, and the food I'm making is delicious, fresh, hot, and nutritious. When I do business, I naturally want to sell. You are buyers, and Wuhan is also buyers. Sell to whom? Sold to Wuhan, my number and military expenses have been settled, which is very real. Sell to you, what good can my army do? ”
Seeing that the other party accepted his analogy, Xiao Lu continued: "The first condition to divide the territory is entirely for the interests of the nation, and I myself suffer a loss. What do I get? Nothing. You Japan can still bury the hidden danger of discord between China and North Korea. The third prohibition is really good for our nation, but what good is it for my army? I don't see, is the second one worth a number plus military spending? ”
Xiao Lu took out a page and said, "This is the grave of your chief of staff, you can find it according to the map." Look, I gave in again. ”
Satomi said, "That corpse is not the chief of staff at all. ”
Xiaolu said: "If I announce it, it's not either. "I'm not being reasonable, what's the matter? I have prisoners of war on my own initiative.
The two sides come and go, and no one will budge. In the end, Satomi Fu said: "There is also northern Shaanxi behind you." You can talk to northern Shaanxi again, and I will talk to Tokyo. ”
On the third day, Satomi Fuming's attitude became tougher and said, "General Lu, we can only release political prisoners." I can't say anything else, that's the bottom line. If it drags on for a long time, we may not even release political prisoners. ”
Koji said, "Mr. Satomi, you may have obtained news that you are not sure about again. I can tell you what happened thirty minutes ago. A brigade of the 109th Division from Peiping had already entered the ambush circle of our ambush troops in half an hour. ”
Satomi said: "It's hard to say what this battle will look like. As far as I know, the equipment of your army is all Japanese equipment. There were no supplies, and the bullets and shells were one less shot. You've been fighting for a long time, and there's no decent addition. Can you win? ”
Xiaolu said: "Let's wait another hour and wait for the results of the battle." ”
The negotiation rested, the soldiers brought a few dishes, and Xiaolu said: "Come, eat." ”
But half an hour later, a staff officer entered the room and took out a telegram to show Xiaolu. After reading it, Xiao Lu's face remained unchanged, and he handed it to Satomifu: "Please take a look." ”
The telegram read: Our army was completely victorious, and the enemy suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
Satomi said, "How is that possible? ”
Xiaolu said: "You can send a telegram to ask." ”
The adjutant-like man didn't wait for Satomifu's order and hurried away. After a while, he came back with a dejected face. Satomi saw his expression and understood that this time the Japanese army had really failed.
This victory, in fact, is very simple: a few days ago, the troops liberated a coal mine near Chengde and seized hundreds of kilograms of explosives. The devils used the negotiations to delay time, and Xiaolu used the negotiations to paralyze the enemy, burying hundreds of kilograms of explosives, plus some shells, all on the way to Chengde City, detonating with electricity, and killing almost all the devils who entered the explosion area in a big explosion. The remaining enemies were beaten with more and less cleaned up.
This time, Satomi understands why Koji is so arrogant, because his troops are very combative.
Negotiations continue. "I know, your other armies are on the way. Don't try to use the results of the battlefield to pressure me, I can analyze it for you. Your team is fighting everywhere, and the troops are insufficient, and if I want to fight Beiping and Tangshan again, it is possible. ”
Satomi said, "Is your party willing to take a step back?" ”
Xiaolu said: "Impossible. Our concession is to keep it under wraps. I'm so generous that I can't go any further. ”
The next day, the negotiations continued, and Satomi said, "The third article is not easy to implement, if you can make this step, we are willing to accept the first and second two." ”
Xiaolu said: "I'll report it, you two wait a minute." He could see that the other side had really given in.
After half an hour, Xiaolu came back and said, "The agreement of Article 1 needs to be published publicly, we want a copy, and we need to erect boundary monuments." There must be a list of 10,000 people of the people, a petition, a signature of the Lee royal family of Korea, and the officials of Manchukuo must manage it. The paperwork is to be published in a newspaper. Second, you have a list of cities where political prisoners will be released, a list of people, and finally, as long as someone is on any list, they must be released. If you have fulfilled both, I will release you. ”
The adjutant said, "What if you don't release people then?" ”
Xiaolu said: "Do you think it is possible? My words don't count, how can I speak in front of my subordinates in the future? I am negotiating with you on behalf of a political party in China. ”
Satomi said, "Okay." We'll also send us a telegram asking for instructions. ”
On May 2, the puppet Manchurian and Japanese newspapers published a report in an inconspicuous corner, saying that at the request of the local people, North Hamgyong Province and the northern half of Lianggang Province (starting from Shishidaogou and going east along the rivers and mountains to the seaside, including Rason), should be assigned to the island province of Manchukuo, so as to realize the republic of the five ethnic groups, and so on. The Emperor of Manchukuo, Puyi, the Governor of Korea, signed the document, and the Korean royal family in Japan, Changdeokgung Palace, King Lee Yin, also signed the document, and also issued a statement recognizing the validity of the agreement and calling on the Korean people to obey it.
This is the easiest thing to do, and the Japanese forged documents, or rather, made documents, which were very efficient. The time was spent flying in several cities of Tokyo, Shinkyo and Hokpei.
The document was airdropped to Chengde by a military plane in a large bag.
In Chengde, Xiao Lu held the paperwork, looked at the autographs of Pu Yi and Li Yin, and was very satisfied, and said: "Regarding the specific process of releasing people and exchanging people, our two sides negotiated and coordinated through telegrams. The release of people is large and takes time. Today is the last meeting, and you and our staff officers can leave after confirming the final details. ”
Satomi said: "I have one thing to tell the general, our chief of staff is not dead, he is still alive. ”
Xiaolu said: "Is it a stand-in who died? ”
Satomi said, "It's his cousin." President of a corporation. ”
On May 3, a Japanese newspaper published a message saying that General Terauchi Shouichi was unwell and had returned to China to recuperate from his illness and that he had been appointed to another job, among other things.
On May 3, the Japanese army of 30,000 troops gathered on the north and south sides of Chengde and launched an attack on Chengde. Like Beiping, Chengde was also evacuated and an empty city.
The troops near Chengde were all Xu Zhizhen, Zhang Qingyun, and Zhang Qingyu's people, and the troops on the small road were day and night, and they had already gone away.
Xu Zhizhen, Zhang Qingyun, and Zhang Qingyu made a windfall and almost emptied Chengde's things.
The process of exchanging prisoners was carried out by telegram, and it was agreed that the Japanese side would release the political prisoners first and release them within a day, and the volunteers would confirm that they would release Terauchi Shouichi. The release location will be announced separately.
On May 10, more than a dozen cities in the northeast began releasing political prisoners. Political prisoners from all counties and towns were transferred to these dozen cities and released in a unified manner.
Political prisoners were pulled out of the city in large cars and placed in pre-agreed open spaces. Then, the car left. The released people were quickly picked up. Although the puppet Manchurian governments in various places did not follow them as agreed, they still sent people to follow them disguised as ordinary people, but soon, these people disappeared.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the volunteers sent a telegram confirming that the cities had been released, and asked the Japanese side to go to a small town in Yixian County in western Liaoning to pick up Shouichi Terauchi.
These days, with Chengde as the center, the puppet Manchurian government within a radius of several hundred kilometers has been highly tense, monitoring all roads and towns, the army and the puppet police have been dispatched privately, and it has not stopped for several days, and some traces have been found, and the secret services have come to investigate, all of which are traces of passing by the large army a few days ago, and no Terauchi Shouichi has been found.
Now, less than an hour after receiving the official news, the military police and pseudo-police of Yixian County have arrived in this town. When I arrived at the small inn and went straight to the superior room of the inn, Shouichi Terauchi was really in the room, lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Before the Japanese side could send a telegram to confirm, the puppet Manchurian side received a telegram from the Northeast Coalition Army, saying that Terauchi Shouichi had been successfully picked up by you, and the transaction was completed. Please follow the agreement and refrain from conducting a search for 20 days.
The puppet Manchurian side confirms that the exchange is complete.
The exchange of captives went unusually smoothly and strangely well.
After Xiaolu exchanged prisoners, he only took 5 guards and Bai Enming, a group of 7 people, took the train, and arrived in Yichun on May 14. Now, with the help of armies from all over the country, the large troops brought back by Xiaolu have arrived in Yichun one after another.
In addition to directing the exchange of prisoners along the way, in the past few days, Xiaolu has also remotely assassinated Satomifu.
Zhang Qingyu followed Xiaolu's request and sent someone to hunt down and kill Li Jianfu. Later, Zhang Qingyu came with the news that Satomi Fu was very cunning. Wounded once. Later, he disappeared. It is said that I went to Shanghai. Zhang Qingyu has already issued a reward through the Elders' Association, and those who kill the Fu will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold.
