Yang Shuoming nodded, he didn't seem to want to talk about this in class, he waved his hand, signaled the officers of the Naval Intelligence Department not to say anything more, and then turned around and talked to the teachers and classmates of the Women's Normal University for a while, and then left with Tang Qianming and the others.

"Another plague outbreak in Japan?" Tang Qianming asked, "The last time it seemed to be during wartime. ”

"We must also pay attention to this part." Yang Shuoming nodded, did not tell Japan that this epidemic is not only plague, but also many other epidemics, "Our Chinese population is much larger than Japan, once there is an epidemic, the spread is not as easy to control as Japan." The last worldwide flu was a lesson. ”

Yang Shuoming and his entourage left the campus of Beijing Women's Normal University, and just as several people were about to board their respective cars, a car not far away from the opposite side was staggering and speeding forward, as if the driver was drunk.

Seeing this American Ford-style luxury car driving sideways like this, not caring about the safety of pedestrians, Tang Qianming couldn't help but rush up angrily for a while, he just wanted to step forward to stop the car, but was pulled by Yang Shuoming.

At this time, several patrol officers on the side of the road had already found the "drunk driving" car, they ran over with shouts, trying to surround the car, and the two patrol officers also pulled out their waist knives and tried to stop the car, but the car did not have the slightest intention of stopping, but accelerated and rushed straight to the location of Yang Shuoming and others.

Tang Qianming was furious, and suddenly pulled out his pistol, intending to teach the "son-in-law" in this car a lesson, and the two Yang Shuoming's guards were also about to step forward to assist the patrol police in stopping the car, when Yang Shuoming's expression suddenly changed, he yelled suddenly, "lie down", and strode forward.

Tang Qianming heard Yang Shuoming's roar, and instinctively fell to the ground, at this time he didn't understand what was happening, and a creepy light gunfire came over.

The bullets of the submachine gun swept over with a "whoosh", shattering the windshield of the car, and Tang Qianming realized what had happened, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

"General" Yang Shuoming's guards shouted loudly, followed by the sound of "bang bang" pistol return fire, mixed with the screams of the person who was shot and the screams of the surrounding crowd.

Tang Qianming prostrate and moved his body, taking advantage of the cover of the car door, raised his head to look for Yang Shuoming's figure, he saw Yang Shuoming was holding a crying baby, not far away lay a middle-aged woman covered in blood, Yang Shuoming held the baby in his arms, curled up behind a stone drum on the corner of the street, dodging the strafing of submachine gun bullets. Tang Qianming saw that he didn't have any weapons in his hand, and couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

The gunman in the car was still firing, and there were many bulleted patrolmen and pedestrians lying on the ground, some of whom were probably dead, lying motionless, while others were rolling and wailing loudly on the ground.

For fear of hurting passers-by, Yang Shuoming's guards did not use burst fire like the other side when they used the "head handle" pistol and the "Fifty Shots" to return fire, so they could not suppress the opponent's firepower.

The gunman in the car had the advantage in firepower, and with the cover of the car, although he was surrounded by Yang Shuoming's guards and patrol officers, it should not be a problem to get out at all, but he did not seem to intend to leave there, but was determined to complete the assassination. Tang Qianming could already see clearly at this time that there were three people in the car, one was driving, and the other two were each holding a German-made "flower mechanism", shooting outward, their eyes seemed to be Yang Shuoming, because although the surrounding guards fought back very violently, beating the car to pieces, they still tried to get closer to the direction where Yang Shuoming was.

Tang Qianming cautiously leaned out, raised his pistol and fired at the assassins along with the guards, trying to prevent them from approaching Yang Shuoming. A masked black-clad assassin seemed to be a little impatient with such a shootout, he tore off the empty magazine, replaced it with a new one, kicked the car door open, jumped out of the car, and strode in the direction of the stone drum where Yang Shuoming was hiding.

The tall assassin soon approached the stone drum, his "flower machine" muzzle kept spitting tongues of fire, although two bullets from the guards hit his body, and Tang Qianming also shot him in the left arm, but he didn't seem to care, still kept shooting with one right hand, seeing the other party so fierce, Tang Qianming couldn't help but be secretly frightened. ,

At this time, the assassin had already jumped on the stone drum, and just as he was about to shoot down with the submachine gun in his hand, Tang Qianming saw a red light flash from under the stone drum, followed by a dull "bang" gunshot, only to see something burrow into the assassin's chin, and a strange blood flower bloomed on the top of the assassin's head, and his body suddenly stopped moving, and then fell straight down from the stone drum.

Tang Qianming knew that it must have been Yang Shuoming who shot him, and seeing the other party lying on the ground like a dead pig, covered in blood, Tang Qianming's hanging heart relaxed.

The sudden killing of this assassin obviously had a great impact on the other two assassins, who planned to drive out of the encirclement, but at this time their car tires had been blown up by Yang Shuoming's guards, and they couldn't move fast at all, and the two assassins seemed to have become manic, and they no longer planned to attack Yang Shuoming, but blindly swept and shot at the surroundings to prevent the guards from approaching.

At this time, almost twenty minutes had passed since the fierce shootout, a military truck roared over, the Praetorian Guard soldiers of the brigade jumped out of the car with rifles, and at about the same time, another military truck appeared on the other side of the street, blocking all the street entrances, and the soldiers who jumped out of the car quickly found a firing position and began to fire fiercely at the car, and for a time there was a piercing "bang" of gunfire everywhere.

The two assassins were still stubbornly resisting, but they had been wounded in several places in the previous shootout, and with the long continuous firing, their submachine guns quickly ran out of bullets, and the two assassins quickly lost their ability to resist under the soldiers' rifle volleys.

The gunfire fell silent little by little, Tang Qianming stood up from his hiding place, and he saw that Yang Shuoming had already stood up at this time, and was arranging for guards and patrols to take the injured middle-aged woman and her child to the hospital. When Tang Qianming saw Yang Shuoming hand over a roll of banknotes and his own business card to a patrol officer, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

Several soldiers put their rifles on bayonets, and then cautiously approached the Ford car, which had been riddled with holes, reached out and opened the door, dragging out the two assassins inside, both of whom were shot several times and covered in wounds, but they were not dead, an assassin saw Yang Shuoming coming this way, suddenly roared, and wanted to pounce on him, but a soldier stepped forward, a bayonet stabbed him in the shoulder, nailing his body to the ground, he immediately let out a beastly howl, and fainted in pain.

"Fight lightly, you have to live" A Praetorian Guard officer who came later shouted loudly, he saw Yang Shuoming's face sinking like water, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and he helped the military hat in a little panic.

For the officer, the consequences of such an incident on the ground in Beijing were simply unimaginable.

Yang Shuoming came to the other assassin who was handcuffed by the back-cut hands, looked at him, and ripped off his scarf.

What appeared in front of everyone was a young and slightly childish face.

"Why did you kill me?" Yang Shuoming asked calmly.

"You warlords...... Knave...... Executioner...... Kill so many of our comrades...... I'm going to ...... Those sacrificed ......** comrades take revenge......" The other party looked at Yang Shuoming, his eyes were full of resentment, and a face that was originally handsome became hideous because of the distortion, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva at Yang Shuoming, but because of the slight flick of strength, the spit did not spray on Yang Shuoming's face, but fell on his own clothes.

Yang Shuoming straightened up expressionlessly, and the military police who rushed up escorted the two assassins down.

Tang Qianming came to Yang Shuoming's side and asked cautiously, "How is it?" Hanzhi? You okay? ”

Yang Shuoming shook his head, checked the pen pistol in his hand, and put it in his pocket, Tang Qianming looked at the pen pistol with a thick shape and a black light, and understood what Yang Shuoming used to kill the assassin.

He knew that Yang Shuoming was going to give a speech at the Women's Normal University today, and he did not wear a military uniform, so he did not bring the pistol he usually wore on his body, but took a pen and pistol for self-defense.

But at this time, Tang Qianming didn't know that the pen pistol was not as simple as he saw.

"Let's go, come with me to see Songpa." Yang Shuoming said, "If you can't get it, he's also very lively over there." ”

Tang Qianming was stunned for a moment when he heard Yang Shuoming's words, and then immediately understood, and he nodded. Yang Shuoming immediately called a guard and asked him to summon the guards in the governor's mansion. ,

Zhili, Baoding.

"The murderer who assassinated Yang has confessed and is a member of the Bu Party." An officer reported to Cao Kun, the envoy of the Zhiluyu Parade, that "General Cai Songpo, Minister of the Army, was also assassinated that day, and there were five assassins, all of whom were killed by General Cai and his guards. ”

"Is General Cai injured?" Cao Kun nodded and asked.

"General Cai is safe and sound, but I heard that Mrs. Cai and Gongzi were frightened." The officer replied.

"It's not the first time Lao Cai and Xiao Yang have encountered this." Wu Peifu, who was sitting on the side, smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this political assassination trend should really be stopped." ”

It is no wonder that Wu Peifu lamented that political assassination was a major social landscape from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, with successes and attempts, one after another. The targets of assassination include those in the DPRK and the opposition, those who are ** and those who are opposed, political leaders and cultural celebrities, as well as soldiers who hold military power and dominate the situation. The social unrest and historical transformation caused by the assassination are not less.

Political assassinations from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China can be roughly divided into three categories, one is the assassination of dissidents by those in power, the second is the assassination of rulers by the opposition, and the third is the assassination of Chinese politicians by foreign forces. Before Xinhai, there were basically only assassinations carried out by the ** family, and the Qing Dynasty did not seem to use such methods, probably they felt that the power to determine guilt was in their own hands, and it was completely open to arrest and kill. The anti-Qing ** family did not have the power to publicly kill and seize, so they had to rely on assassination to solve the problem. Like the murder of the feudal officials Enming and Wang Zhichun, the attack on Tie Liang, an important minister of the dynasty, the bombing of the five ministers of the constitutional government, and the assassination of the regent Zaifeng, this series of assassinations shocked the Chinese political circles at that time.

In the late Qing Dynasty, most of the people responsible for the assassinations carried out by the ** family were the children of official eunuchs and rich families, or hot-blooded young people with a relatively high level of education. This is similar to Russia, where the young nobles are the main force in the assassination of the powerful. Xiang participated in the planning of the assassination of Tie Liang and Yu Dachun's father was Yu Mingzhen, the general office of the Lu Shi School. Wu Yue, who was carrying a bomb and preparing to blow up the five ministers who went abroad to study the constitution, was born in a merchant family, and his father was an official before a businessman. Xu Xilin, who assassinated Enming, his family was even richer, and he also donated a Taoist. Wan Fuhua, who participated in the murder of Tie Liang and personally assassinated Wang Zhichun, said that his family was not wealthy, but he later studied medicine and business, and was still an alternate magistrate.

Qing Ji's ** assassination, the act itself seems to bring more significance than the purpose. Except for Enming, who was killed, the rest were all attempted due to hasty, hasty preparation, and insufficient planning. In fact, the assassins at that time did not care whether the assassin was alive or dead, nor did they care whether they could get out of it, they valued the huge impact of such an act. After each assassination, the spirit of fierceness, passion, generosity, and righteousness can cause a sensation, and the "heroic image" and suicidal feat of the assassin are far more valuable than the death of one or two Qing officials. For example, Wang Zhaoming assassinated the regent Zaifeng, whether it was the ** party or later generations, no one seemed to care about the life and death of the regent and whether such an act could be successful.

At that time, only the consequences of Xu Xilin's murder of Enming were more serious, Enming died, Xu Xilin was arrested and sentenced to death, while the other assassinations, not to mention that the target was alive, and the assassin did not receive the serious punishment he should have received, and even fewer melons. Like Wu Yue was self-destructive, after the incident, only Jin Shoumin, the head of the household department who introduced him to live in the Tongcheng Trial Hall, was dismissed, and the rest of the people were not involved. Although Wang Zhaoming was imprisoned, his hair was not very serious. According to the people at the time, "it was probably built at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and cowardice became the norm, and they did not dare to build a prison indiscriminately, so as to stir up the Chinese and foreign people."

The reason why assassinations became a trend at the end of the Qing Dynasty was not only influenced by the European and Russian parties, but also the party's perception of the times at that time. "There are two ways to fill the line, one is assassination, and the other is **. Today's era, not the era of **, the era of real assassination. ", "Those who want to speak ** have to assassinate first, and then take revenge (**)." ** The assassination of the party, in fact, is more important than the propaganda to build momentum and deterrence, according to the saying at the time, it is to "kill one and set an example". The assassination of Wang Zhichun was to warn those who were "traitors", the assassination of Tie Liang was to threaten those "diehard" factions, the assassination of the five ministers who went abroad to study the constitution was to sabotage the conspiracy of those in power to use the constitution to "deceive", and the assassination of the regent Zaifeng was to show the determination to overthrow the Qing court. It is in these almost crazy assassinations that the majestic image of the ** person has been established, and the people in power have been terrified. After Xinhai ** and before the abdication of the Qing Dynasty, there were two assassinations, which pushed the ** assassination at the end of the Qing Dynasty to the peak. once was an attempt by three ** party members to bomb Yuan Shikai; Once, Peng Jiazhen, a member of the ** party, blew up and killed the Manchu pro-noble Liangbi, Peng Jiazhen died on the spot, Liangbi's flesh and blood were blurred, and finally died tragically. These two assassinations put the whole city in panic and contributed to the collapse of the Qing court and the establishment of the Republic of China. It can be said that the assassination before the founding of the Republic of China created a group of heroes and created a terrifying atmosphere. ,

But after the establishment of the Republic of China, there was a major shift in political assassination in China.

When the Republic of China was founded, many elements of the modern political system, such as the president, the cabinet, the parliament, the political party, and the constitution, were presented. There are more than 600 political parties and groups, large and small, and they are freely combined, each with its own opinions, and there are basically no restrictions. The Cabinet is a joint cabinet and is formally approved by the Diet. For example, Tang Shaoyi, Lu Zhengxiang, Zhao Bingjun, Duan Qirui, Liu Guanxiong, Xiong Xiling, Wang Chonghui, Cai Yuanpei, Song Jiaoren, Chen Qimei, Shi Zhaoji, and other cabinet members, with the exception of a few people, are mostly selected for the moment, and no matter what kind of democratic country they are placed in, their education, background, experience, and quality are all excellent. The parliament is divided into two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives, although it does not come from the voters, but it is based on the Organic Law of the National Assembly of the Republic of China promulgated in August 1912, and it is also a free election, with representatives from all parties and factions and provinces.

Since the Republic of China is completely different from the Qing court, it is not tolerated by society to openly and wantonly hunt and kill dissidents. Therefore, some people can only rely on assassination to maintain their authority and interests. Both within the party and those in power are keen to use assassination methods against dissidents or people of different factions. Because ** people are the same as those in power, when their own interests are challenged, even if they are colleagues, they will not tolerate it. And the method and purpose of the assassination have also changed to simply killing, regardless of whether the act itself is a heroic feat. They are no longer well-known hot-blooded young people, but they have to do everything possible to hide their identities and names. Their assassination missions are often laid out in layers, and the process is complicated in order to avoid exposing the mastermind behind the scenes.
