In the first year of Xuantong, in the forty-second year of the Meiji era, on October 26, 1909 in the Gregorian calendar, Harbin Railway Station, Daxuefu stopped.

On the snow-covered platform, a group of Russian military police stood neatly, their eyes vigilant, they used their bodies to form an impermeable human wall, isolating the crowd from the upcoming special special train, and the plainclothes police detectives mixed in the surroundings also used the most vigilant eyes to look at the flow of people around them, any suspicious people will be directly pulled out, leaning against the wall to search the whole body, in addition, every short distance, there are sharp dog noses waiting, the Siberian military dogs in the hands of the military police, are constantly whistling out white mist.

The level of security at the scene is unprecedented, and the reason why they are doing so is to welcome an enemy envoy from afar, and his arrival will have a major impact on the balance of the situation in Northeast Asia.

The name of this noble envoy is Hirobumi Ito, and his position is the first commander-in-chief of South Korea.

Harbin, an important town in North Manchuria, has always been a territory painstakingly managed by the Russians, based on this, the army can occupy the entire northeast when it goes south, and the annexation of Manchu and Mongolia has always been Russia's Far East strategy, but there are unforeseen circumstances, after the First Sino-Japanese War, the sudden rise of Japan's victory began to dye Manchuria, although in the end because of the intervention of the three countries, Japan did not occupy Liaodong, but also let the contradictions between the two sides suddenly put on the table.

Subsequently, the fiasco of the Russo-Japanese War severely frustrated the Russian bear's ambition to monopolize the Northeast, and while it had no choice but to retreat to North Manchuria, it could no longer ignore this small man's Oriental Demon Kingdom, and the game of two different forces made the two robbers who had no sense of mutual trust intensify the contradiction again.

Russia is caught in the quagmire of continental hegemony, and Japan is in urgent need of some time to digest because of its occupation of Korea, and it is not good for both countries to continue this stalemate, and both sides know this.

As a result, a secret meeting aimed at easing the contradictions between the two sides and redividing the forces in the northeast was about to be launched in Harbin, but the original owner of this land was completely unaware of this.

In order to greet him, the Russian side received him with great pomp, and the chief financial officer Kogovtsov was present in person, as well as the president of the China Eastern Railway Company and a large number of senior attachés.

With a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, the train slowly approached, and before the people in the car appeared, the sound of "popping" photos sounded on the nearby platform, and reporters from various countries were already waiting solemnly, preemptively digging up the latest news, because many of them were foreign journalists, they were the only group that was not searched.

At 9:30 a.m., Ito Hirobumi's special train slowly drove into the train platform, the Russian military band immediately played a welcome song, and the honor guard stood upright with guns, ready to be reviewed, and in the eyes of everyone, the hatch slowly opened, and a short old man with a short beard and yellow face, dressed in a suit and a top hat, walked off the train proudly.

"I am very happy to be able to see the majesty of your army in Harbin."

Ito greeted and greeted the Russian Finance Minister Kogvsov, who had greeted him, and then the old man smiled and waved to the welcoming crowd like a victor.

And some people don't know how to look at it.

All this is seen in the eyes of North Korean Ahn Chonggen, the expression on his face is in stark contrast to Ito, he gritted his teeth, his mouth is full of words, and although he is mixed in with the press box, he does not act like a media person who captures the news at all, but more like a killer or assassin.

With the thin old man locked in his eyes, he reached down the brim of his hat, touched the Browning on his chest, and slowly leaned forward.

Ito Hirobumi was so immersed in the cheers of the Japanese diaspora that he never thought that a bloody assassination would happen in front of his eyes, and that he would unfortunately be the most unlucky man.

When Ito Hirobumi was about to review the honor guard, Yasushigene decisively rushed out of the crowd, pulled out his pistol with lightning speed, and fired at Ito Hirobumi head-on.

"Bang", with a gunshot, Ito Hirobumi was shot, his short body shook violently, and he slanted to the right uncontrollably, and then staggered, almost falling, and a stream of warm blood spurted out of his chest.

For a moment, the noise and drumming around him stopped abruptly, and Kolinlov, who was closest to him, opened his mouth half-open, and the surrounding attachés also changed their faces suddenly, stunned by this sudden scene.

"There are assassins!"

A loud shout woke everyone up, and the people who came to their senses were in chaos, screams and shrill sirens filled the platform, and all kinds of voices converged, except for Ito Hirobumi, who fell to the ground, unable to speak, blood flowing down the corners of his suit, and gathering into a pitch-black mess on the ground.

"Bang! Bang! ”

There were two more dull gunshots, and Yasuge did not hesitate, and the two bullets blew out of the rifling of the pistol and shot straight at the dying Ito Hirobumi.

The 11.43mm bullet was incredibly powerful, and the round and blunt bullet burst out with a huge punching force, shaking Ito's thin body back more than a meter, like a bloodthirsty snake burrowing into his body, desperately tearing his ribs, liver, and abdominal cavity, and finally burrowing into his rectum.

Ito Hirobumi collapsed in a pool of blood, his limbs stiffened, his breath decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the blood drew a humanoid outline under his body, a sarcastic shape that added a sinful respite to his life of glory and shame.

The people around were shocked, and their panicked eyes focused on An Chonggen, the smoking pistol was enough to prove everything, he was the lone assassin who assassinated Han Chongchen.

"It's an assassin! Get him! ”

An Chonggen had no intention of escaping, and the soldiers and police who reacted had already surrounded him, and after reconfirming that Ito Hirobumi, who was lying in a pool of blood, had no chance of survival, he held up a North Korean flag with the words "independence and freedom" written in blood in his left hand, and shouted three times at the Russian soldiers, "Goryea Ula!" "(Long live North Korea), and then generosity is bound.

An assassination case that shocked all countries ended, and the successful assassin had no nationality.

Thirty minutes later, the military doctor who arrived urgently confirmed that Ito was dead and Ahn was handed over to the Japanese that night, after which a large number of North Koreans living in the Harbin area were arrested indiscriminately.

The news that Yasuge stabbed Japanese veteran Hirobumi Ito to death shocked not only the Far East, but also the world. This short telegram of the same day: "Ito Hirobumi was shot dead by a North Korean in Harbin today, and the assassin has been captured." As soon as it was released, the world's newspapers rushed to cover this explosive news.

The Japanese press, the Korean pro-Japanese press, and some Western newspapers and periodicals accused Ahn Chong-geun of being a thug and ignorant; other Western newspapers and periodicals, represented by France, and most of the DPRK newspapers and periodicals, reported the incident in an objective and neutral manner, while the Korean newspapers and periodicals in China and Russia praised Ahn Chong-geun as a patriot and a representative of peace.

At that time, many Chinese newspapers, such as Shanghai's Minhu Daily, Shanghai Times, and Shanghai Declaration, Tianjin's Ta Kung Pao, and Hong Kong's Huawen Daily, all reported heavily on Ahn Chonggen's righteous deeds...... Thousands of people cry and complain, thousands of letters of advice", "10 years ago, Japan took advantage of the plunge, broke our army division, and annihilated our navy...... Now Japan regards me like meat on the table, and I can't stop taking it by mouth if I am not happy. ”

In the eyes of the Japanese, as a heinous rebel, Yasu Shigeun must die, while the Russian side, who was in charge of security at the scene, was extremely embarrassed, and a meeting aimed at balancing the forces of the two sides not only did not develop for the better, but went to the other extreme.

When the news came over and over, the top officials of the Qing court were also shocked, but this third party, who had been safe and sound, became the most panicked person.
