Dubasov and Volkov were taken away by the intelligence service, which was also arranged by Witt on the ship to Arthur, and the telegram from Alekseev, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, was a bit of a surprise to Witt, but this happened to give him a lot less follow-up to deal with. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Time passed quickly, a full week had passed since Werther arrived in Arthur on July 20, and although Dubasov and Volkov had a high status in the Far East, they were still insignificant in the eyes of the Intelligence Service, so they were shot by the Intelligence Service without any detailed trial, and their relatives in Moscow and Kiev were all arrested by the local Intelligence Service and sent to work as road builders in the Far East Eastern Railway Company, so Witt naturally did not need to care.

It was another morning, when the sun was shining through the window into Werther's room, Werther was already up drinking his favorite Longjing tea, eating traditional Chinese pastries, and reading with a Chinese thread-bound book in his hand. At this time, Zagoev walked in and asked, "Sir, are you going out today?" ”

Witt's greatest pleasure these days is to wander around Arthur, which the Russians prefer to Arthur. It's just that every time Werther goes out, he sees shabby houses and ragged people, and there are very few residents in the whole Lushunkou, and there are hardly any young people and women, most of them are old people, and occasionally I see one or two young people, who also come to Lushunkou from other places to do business.

"Zagoev, what happened to the survivors I asked you to find after being massacred by the Japanese?" Werther asked, flipping through the book in his hand.

Zagoev replied: "It has been found, and it is said that it is still the person who carried the body at that time." ”

The Lushun Massacre, that's right, the Lushun Massacre! This was the first time that the dog country in the east had done a tragic and inhumane thing on the land of China, and this became a beginning. On November 21, 1894, after the Japanese army conquered Lushun, which was then known as the "first fortress in Asia", they carried out a four-day and three-night sweep operation against the Qing soldiers who had fled to various parts of the city. At that time, there were about 6,000 permanent residents in Lushun City, and the Qing army had countless routs, and the Japanese army only selected 36 people to transport the corpses, and slaughtered all the civilians and captured soldiers in the city.

At that time, there were many foreigners in Lushun, and one of the British sailors wrote in his memoir "Lushun Shipwreck": "...... The severed heads, the beheaded, the pierced breasts, and the abdomen-pierced were stirred together, and the water in the pond was stirred red. …… The sound of gunfire and cries was mixed along the way. The ground was covered with flesh and blood, and the roads were paved with severed limbs. ”

What Werther has to do this time is to redeem the panic caused by this massacre of the Russian army, and he is also preparing to disgust the Japanese. So when Werther heard this, he said: "Go and invite these people, remember to be polite, you go in person, don't wear military uniforms, don't bring soldiers, just take two attendants, and go in my carriage." ”

"Yes, sir." Zagoev went out after responding, and at this time Witte also closed the book he was holding, only to see that the cover was written with five big characters of "Confucius Reform Examination", and then shook his head and said: "It seems that this foolish person is still going to make a deal in China." ”

Near noon, Zagoev invited the survivors over, a total of six people, who had been terrified and did not even dare to raise their heads, and when they saw Werther, they immediately knelt down and cried and said: "Foreigner, you can do it, let me go!" ”

Witte glanced at Zagoev, Zagoev also looked helpless, obviously this is not the wrong way to invite people, but these people are frightened, Witte looked at these people of this era, and could only sigh for a while, how can a country whose backbone has been broken expect the people at the bottom to cheer up? The country of later generations has become so powerful, isn't there some people who are so flattering that it makes people disgusting?

"Several, get up, don't be nervous!" Witt said as he stepped forward to help these people up one by one, and then said, "I invited a few people here this time, just to ask some things clearly, you don't need to be so flustered. ”

As soon as these people met, the foreigner master actually used the official words in a straight and round manner, and the nervousness was suddenly relieved a lot, and then he felt flattered to see the foreigner uncle actually come to help him in person, and when they entered the reception room, Witt arranged for someone to bring the prepared tea, and the nervousness of several people also calmed down, and it seemed that the foreigner uncle did not come to them to ask for guilt.

After seeing that the mood of several people was calm, Witt said: "You are all natives of Lushunkou? ”

"Yes, Lord Yang, we have all lived here for generations." One of them said.

Witt continued to ask, "Then do you know the terrain of Lushun Pass?" ”

"That's right, our six hills, half water, three points and half fields, when the Qing Dynasty didn't build the water division yamen here, it was just a small village, and even the family couldn't support the grain a year, so we went to the sea to fish a lot and planted few crops." A middle-aged man replied honestly.

"Six hills, half water, three points and half fields? This is a detailed description. Witt smiled, "Then let me ask you how much do you remember about the Japanese occupying Lushun that year?" ”

These people stopped talking when they heard it, and there was silence in the venue for a while, and after a while, one of them said with red eyes: "The devil is not a person!" As he spoke, he began to cry, and after crying for a while, he wiped his tears and recalled: "That year, it was the twentieth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and in June (the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar), I heard that the imperial court and the Japanese in the east were fighting, and the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division that were originally parked in the port also sailed out and went to Weihaiwei. Later, one day suddenly ran back a few Beiyang Navy ships, I heard the soldier say that the Navy Division was defeated by the Japanese in the Yellow Sea, and then in winter, suddenly one day outside the Lushun mouth guns and cannons, then we knew that it was the little devil who had hit the Lushun mouth. ”

At this time, another person then recalled: "I remember that day, it had just snowed in Lushunkou, and it was still morning, and I heard the sound of gunfire, so I opened the door to see if it was over. As soon as I opened the door, I saw the little devil killing, and the person who was killed was wearing the uniform of the Beiyang Naval Division, and he was killed in front of my door, and when he died, I saw that his eyes were still open. Then the little devil came to me, looked at me and smiled, and then a man who could speak Chinese came out and asked me to help them do things, and gave me a strip of cloth for me to carry. ”

"What's written on that strip of cloth?" Witt asked.

When one of them heard this, he immediately replied: "The strip of cloth that was given to us at that time was written in Japanese characters, and we didn't know it. Later, a Japanese reporter came to Lushunkou for an interview, and the reporter would tell me what we said, and it was written in the words of the devil that 'this person will not kill'!
