108801908 Far Eastern madman

Although the Italian soldiers and the Austro-Hungarian soldiers were ordered to go to the intersection to block and sneeze", they did not set up barricades here, perhaps in their opinion, as long as a few foreign soldiers carrying rifles stood at the intersection, those Chinese would not dare to brazenly rush into the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane.

But now, there was a surprising scene, a four-wheeled carriage carrying goods, driven by several Chinese miscellaneous servants, rushed to the intersection at a very high speed, and by the time the soldiers had reacted, the four-wheeled carriage had already rushed in front of them.

It was only then that the Italians and Austrians could see clearly the face of the driver who was driving, and that face was not actually a human face, but a mask, a strange mask, and the other people in the carriage were wearing the same mask, some hideous, some funny, which made all the soldiers stunned.

Why do a bunch of handymen wear masks on their faces?

The foreign soldiers didn't know the answer to this question, but Gong Qingxiu knew the answer to this question, and he was now on a two-wheeled carriage north of the intersection, and there were a few catties of small flag people sitting next to him, one of whom was Guishan, and they were now acting as bodyguards, of course, to protect the Manchu Emperor who was sitting in another two-wheeled carriage, except for these few catties. In addition to the professional flag men, there were also several male and female health servants, all of whom were also carrying weapons, and the carriage was crowded.

I heard the shouts of the foreign soldiers outside. Gong Qingxiu lifted the curtains on the car window, looked at the south intersection, and smiled knowingly at the four-wheeled carriage carrying the goods.

Gong Qingxiu knew in his heart that the driver who was driving the wagon was Tian Jinfu, the commander-in-chief of the "Autumn Harvest Operation", and his carriage was carrying a machine gun, a Hatch Kaisi machine gun.

Since Duanjin escaped from the palace with the Manchu Emperor, Gong Qingxiu has been following them, and everyone took two two-wheeled carriages from the northwest to the southeast of the city, taking advantage of the chaos in the city to escape smoothly to the vicinity of the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane. But because the foreign soldiers guarding the intersection refused to let them into the embassy district, the crowd was delayed at this intersection.

Before the official start of the operation, Gong Qingxiu deliberately carried a small pistol with him, as a backup plan, if Tian Jinfu could not start it in time, then, Gong Qingxiu would immediately start this backup plan, personally enjoy this small pistol to kill the Manchu Emperor Qiyi Liu Junol Prince Zaihan, so as to destroy the spiritual sustenance of the Manchu restoration forces.

Of course, in that case, Gong Qingxiu will definitely not be able to get out, after all, there are a lot of people on the other side, and there are also several Manchu restorationists who have died, but his final outcome will inevitably be to die on the spot.

Pledge the country with your body. This is the oath that Gong Qingxiu made when he first joined the Military Intelligence Bureau, for this oath, he does not mind putting his life and death aside, so, just now I didn't see Tian Jinfu rushing to the intersection to answer, Gong Qingxiu has decided to start implementing the backup plan, when the carriage of the Japanese legation arrived at the intersection, Gong Qingxiu was even ready to touch the pistol, but at that time, he saw a four-wheeled freight carriage coming from the south of the intersection from a distance, and it was accelerating rapidly. Rushing towards the intersection, the backup plan was abandoned.

Following the flagmen of Guishan to get into a two-wheeled carriage, Gong Qingxiu suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked at the four-wheeled carriage that was getting closer and closer to the intersection from the window, Gong Qingxiu finally determined that the driver who was driving the car was Tian Jinfu, because the Sailovy mask on his face was given to him by Gong Qingxiu, and the four-wheeled carriage was also found by Gong Qingxiu for him.

When he saw that the people in the carriage began to lift the canvas, Gong Qingxiu knew that Tian Jinfu was going to do it at this intersection, so he quickly jumped off the two-wheeled carriage and ran to East Chang'an Avenue in the north.

At this time, the East Chang'an Avenue was empty, and there were almost no pedestrians in sight, and since the gunshots in the city rang out, the pedestrians and small traders and vendors on the street scattered in a hurry. The doors of every house were closed and the streets were vacated, which made it easier for the carriages to move, and the bannermen, perhaps sensing the danger in the shouts of the foreign soldiers, quickened the two-wheeled carriage carrying the Manchu Emperor to catch up with the four-wheeled carriage of the Japanese embassy in front of it. and distanced himself from the carriage behind the palace.

At the same time, Tian Jinfu also drove the four-wheeled carriage out of the intersection and turned onto East Chang'an Street. He saw Gong Qingxiu running towards this side, and the other party was also shouting loudly.

"The rack car ahead! They're sitting in the rack car in front of them! ”

Gong Qingxiu shouted as she ran, and turned her head to look at the two two-wheeled carriages, only to see that they had already followed the four-wheeled carriages of the Japanese embassy that were walking in front.

"Shangzhuo!"

Tian Jinfu handed the reins in his hand to one of the subordinates sitting beside him, then flipped back, turned over the pile of barley in the carriage, grabbed Gong Qingxiu's outstretched hand, and pulled hard, Gong Qingxiu also turned over into the carriage.

At this time, the men behind the carriage had already dug out the Hatch Chase machine gun from the barley pile and were quickly removing the tarpaulin wrapped outside, while Tian Jinfu had already sat behind the machine gun after pulling Gong Qingxiu into the car, holding the two grips behind the machine gun with both hands.

Looking at the group of Chinese on the four-wheeled carriage carrying goods playing acrobatics, the Italian soldiers and Austro-Hungarian soldiers guarding the intersection were obviously a little overwhelmed, they did not know what to do, until they saw the group of Chinese on the carriage showing a machine gun, these foreign soldiers realized the danger, and without waiting for the officers to order, they had already found shelter and hidden.

"These Chinese, there is a machine gun? What do they want to do? You can't be trying to fire at us, are you? ”

Faced with this stunned scene in front of him, Italian Lieutenant Alcasino was a little panicked for a while, and even forgot to look for a shelter, until the opponent's machine gun suddenly fired, he subconsciously fell to the ground, his mind was already blank, and he forgot that he was a professional officer.

"Tart tart goo,,tart tart tart,"

The machine gun on the four-wheeled carriage finally roared, the muzzle of the gun spewed tongues of fire, the bullets swooped down on the target with a sharp whistling sound, a long point shot, almost all the bullets on the first bullet board hit the last two-wheeled carriage, and at this time, the two carriages were almost parallel, and the distance was very close, almost instantly, all the passengers in the two-wheeled carriage and the coachman were all killed by the bullets, and they did not even have time to draw their guns.

"Load the bullets! Reload! Catch up! Catch up! Tian Jinfu roared, then turned the muzzle of the gun and urged the driver to speed up.

With a "click", the second cartridge was loaded, and the Hatch Chase machine gun roared again, but this time it turned its target to the diplomatic carriage of the Japanese legation in front of it.

"Tart tart tart,, tart tart,"

Another long point shot, a string of bullets with a whistling catch up with the carriage of the Japanese embassy, the coachman screamed and fell off the carriage, rolled a few times in the street and did not move, and the diplomatic carriage was also listened to by the knife? controlled and slowly stopped, but Tian Jinfu did not stop shooting by the armor... Kouwei used up all the bullets in the second bullet plate, and the carriage of the Japanese embassy was almost turned into a hornet's nest.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

At this time, the Italian soldiers and the Austro-Hungarian soldiers, who had been left far behind, had begun to shoot at the wagon, and the bullets whistled over Tian Jinfu's head.

"Load the bullets! Reload! ”

Tian Jinfu shouted, ignoring the foreign soldiers, but urged his subordinates to drive the carriage over, caught up with the two-wheeled carriage that was about to turn in the other direction, and "tart" a few short shots, and the two horses pulling the cart overturned.

It lost power, but the two-wheeled carriage carrying the Manchu Emperor Liu Jun did not stop immediately, but continued to rush forward, and was soon overturned by the two horses that had dismounted. The passengers in the car immediately rolled out of the canopy and rolled on the East Chang'an Avenue.

Duanjin was the first to stand up, but before he could stand firmly, he felt that the dark shadow in front of him flickered, and Gong Qingxiu had jumped out of the carriage, holding a small pistol in his hand.

"You" "You" Duanjin was stunned, and forgot to escape for a while.

"I'm not Zhao Erxun's person! Clear dog, eat me a shot! ”

Gong Qingxiu didn't have time to talk to this Manchu restoration faction, and raising his hand was a shot.

"Smack!"

The gun rang out, Duan Jin fork was shot, and fell straight down, the brain and blood quickly stained the ground red, but the eyes were still open and round, and they didn't blink to death.

There were only six people in this two-wheeled carriage, Duanjin was the coachman, and now he was dead, and there were five people left, and the banner man Erle Dengbu saw that Duanjin was killed by Gong Qingxiu, and hurriedly ran towards an alley, but was immediately hit by Tian Jinfu's machine gun, and then, the remaining four people became prisoners.

The four people who were captured alive were the Manchu Dynasty Emperor Fuyi, the Waste Alcohol Prince Zaipei, and the Waste Empress Dowager Longyu. In addition, there is a baby boy around two years old. He was the youngest son of Jakhan and had four captives. The two adults were tied with their hands behind their backs and thrown into the four-wheeled wagon with the two children.

"Stacked tart,,tart hee,"

While everyone else was busy taking prisoners, Tian Jinfu still sat on the barley heap, and used the machine gun to shoot at the foreign soldiers, suppressing their fire, and many bullets hit the buildings in the embassy area, and under this fierce fire, the Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers could not raise their heads at all.

In fact, if the carriage had crossed the intersection, the battle lasted only a few minutes, and the men quickly loaded the four prisoners into the carriage and drove it in the direction of the noon gate. Soon disengaged from those outside teams. The men quickly covered the machine gun and the four captives with canvas, removed the masks from their faces, and continued to drive the carriage westward, grabbing leaflets from sacks and throwing them.

At this time, the city was still full of gunfire. It seems that this chaos will not be able to be quelled in the short term.

In any case, this day was an unforgettable day for the Beiyang Center and foreign diplomats in China, although the Beiyang Army used thunderous means to suppress the bannermen and gangsters who were making trouble in the capital before dark, but this could not calm down the anger of the foreign diplomats in China. Because in this large-scale riot, the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane was also attacked by gangsters, and what shocked these diplomats even more was that those gangsters not only used machine guns to shoot wildly at the embassy building and guards, but even threw a large number of leaflets on the way to escape.

The leaflet reads as follows:

"I am a great Qing dynasty for all generations, and the society is eternal! Eight Banners Force, the pillars of the society, first destroy the republic, and then destroy the foreigners, he will show the dragon flag again, the Qing Dynasty will be all over the world, and all countries will come to the court! ”

There are two drops in the leaflets, one is "Eight Banners Outside the Great Qing Customs" and the other is "The Great Qing Tiger God Camp"

In conjunction with the contents of these leaflets, the Manchu Emperor Fuyi, who had been imprisoned by the republican government in the palace of the king of the Qing Dynasty, was robbed, which is enough to confirm the leaflets.

Obviously, the bannermen were not willing to let them lose their dynasty, so they planned to make a comeback, even going so far as to attack foreign embassies again in order to provoke the populace.

Although the British and Japanese ministers were skeptical of this analysis, this did not change the minds of diplomats from other countries, and it was carefully discussed. The envoys of Russia, the United States, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, and France reached two consensuses. It was formed into a diplomatic memorandum and submitted to the central government of Beiyang late that night:

At the same time, the governments of the nine countries also unanimously decided to regard the "Eight Banners outside the Guanwai" as a dangerous organization, forbidding any country from having official ties with it, and prohibiting merchants from various countries from trading with it. In particular, it was suggested that Russia and Japan, which enjoy "special rights and interests" in the three eastern provinces, actively cooperate with this action.

Second, in view of the fact that the current riot has affected Sino-foreign relations, the ministers of the nine countries very much hope that Xu Shichang, the acting president of the Republic of China, will personally apologize to the embassies of various countries and discuss the defense of the embassy area

Business.

However, the British and Japanese ministers were not named in the memorandum, and they also submitted a memorandum to the Beiyang Center, with only one content, that is, they hoped that China and foreign countries would cooperate to investigate the incident as soon as possible and find out the whereabouts of the Manchu deposed emperor.

Because the diplomatic carriage of the Japanese embassy was strafed by machine guns fired by "armed gangsters" and several diplomats of the Japanese embassy were killed or wounded, the Japanese minister to China tried to incite various countries to take joint action and intervene in China's internal affairs by armed force, but this attempt was unanimously opposed by the British and German ministers and was finally shelved.

However, the Japanese minister also went to the Beiyang center to deliver a formal diplomatic protest to protest that the Japanese diplomat was shot dead in the street by unknown militants. For this contingency. The Japanese can't say what they are suffering from, they know very well in their hearts that the Manchu Emperor should have gone to the Japanese Legation, and this is the plan of the Banner Man Restoration faction. But now, Duanjin, who presided over the whole plan, was killed on the street, and the Manchu Emperor was robbed, so where is the Emperor now? And who was the one who had taken him?

There is no answer to this question of the Japanese. Because this incident itself is a mystery in history, from this day on, no one has ever seen the Manchu Emperor again, as for the abolished Empress Dowager Longyu, the Waste Prince Zaichuan and his young son, they are also the same as the Manchu Emperor abolished, disappeared forever. It's like they never existed. This mystery has also puzzled later historians.

Many years later, a Chinese in Europe claimed to have information about Zaihan's young son, and even suggested that the Manchu emperor had lived in Europe, but before he could hold a press conference, the man disappeared, and this episode added to the strange color of the mystery.
