Anarchist currents and the influence of the Russian Nihilist Party also contributed to the theoretical and practical impetus for the assassinations of this period. Renewal anarchism denies the government and the state, preaches absolute freedom, aspires to a utopian society without races and borders, and advocates assassination, sabotage, and insurrection. Deeply influenced by anarchist ideology, the Nihilist Party advocated assassination and sabotage, and carried out a series of influential and successful assassination activities in Russia, which greatly stimulated and inspired the revolutionaries. In New Hunan, written in the winter of 1902, Yang Dusheng fanatically extolled the "destructive spirit" of the Russian Nihilistic Party, and urged to follow suit and resist the Qing court by means of personal terror. Zhang Ji, editor and publisher of Minbao, successively published photographs of the assassination activities of anarchists in various countries, such as "Anarchism and Socialism," "Bakunin," and "Anarchism in Modern Times," as well as "Anarchism and Socialism," "Bakunin," and "Anarchism in Modern Times."

In 1904, with the success of the national uprising, anarchism and assassination activities disappeared for a time, but then China entered the imperial era after a referendum, and the disillusioned revolutionaries turned into republicans, and some of them turned into radicals, continuing to advocate assassination, Liu Shipei, Zhang Ji and others founded the anarchist organization "Socialist Seminar" in 1907, published the journal "Tianyi Bao", at the first conference, He Zhen proposed: "Today, if you want to carry out anarchist revolution, Assassination will be the first priority."

In the years that followed, a number of government officials were assassinated or threatened with assassination by radicals, and government offices were bombed! Although it does not affect the overall situation, how to eliminate the assassination and sabotage of anarchist radicals has always been the important task of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation. ”

Ten Years of Empire - Anarchism and the Influence of Imperial China

The future, who can see the future?

It seems that no one can see the future, but there are always some people who feel like they can see it, at least some people always do.

But the future is not beautiful, and even the future is not allowed to be snooped on, at least the future that is contrary to reality, and no one will be tolerated to try it, of course, it is precisely for this reason that there is always a need for some place to manage those who try to spy on the future and change reality.

It is for this reason that special institutions are needed to punish those people.

Discipline there was very strict, even more severe than that of ordinary prisoners. Regarding the "master" of such an institution, it is said that if there is an incarnation of the devil in the world, it must be the military commander.

Because the soldiers behind the iron fence, behind the barbed wire, and behind the fence are completely different from the outside world they are familiar with, and there is even an astonishing difference between heaven and earth. The people in the forbidden area of such prisons are usually those specific "thought prisoners", and here it is not even like ordinary prisons, at least in ordinary prisons, where the prisoners still have some power, but here, those "thought prisoners", especially the "rebels" involved in treason, have no power.

Early in the morning, in the small wind field in the center of the "military prison", the captain wearing the black military uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at the prisoners in front of him with a gloomy face, and at this time many prisoners were still thinking about their own affairs......

The former captain of the National Security Council and the scout of the "Tenth Division" looked at these prisoners and recalled the memories of these prisoners in his mind over and over again.

Among these prisoners were political prisoners arrested in the early days of the empire for the "Shanghai Treason Incident", political prisoners who were arrested for "critical national security" and "rebels" who were arrested for engaging in armed rebellion. …,

He has never had any sympathy for traitors, and even in his eyes, these people are simply enemies of the nation, which is unforgivable, and they collude with foreign powers to try to subvert the country, and if they succeed, this nation that has suffered so much will inevitably suffer from foreign colonial rule again, and the people will be enslaved.

And now......

The enemies of these peoples must be made to pay for their actions

And at this time, the prisoners were looking up at the sky again in this courtyard, and the sky, which was the only outside world they could see, was surrounded by buildings, and the building was where the prison was located, and there, only the place facing the central clearing had windows, which meant that every day, only at this time, they could see the sky, the so-called outside world, and the chimney of the boiler room on the roof of the house was like a truncated finger against the blue sky.

As they looked at the blue sky, their hearts could not help but begin to rejoice in the bright green grass behind the longed-for cordon of the "free zone", and the morning sun gilding the pine trees with gold, there, in the distance, behind several layers of geometrically shaped barbed wire.

However, that free zone only exists in the mouths of some people, and only subservient people can go to that free zone to move, otherwise, they can only be here for two hours a day.

The squad leader was a weapons merchant before he was imprisoned, he was imprisoned here as a fellow rebel for selling weapons to the rebels, and as a flexible businessman, he quickly adapted to life here, at this time, he looked at the captain's emotionless eyes with a flattering look, and said in a familiar voice:

"Report to the chief, the thirteenth squad is complete, the whole team is thirty-six, and there are thirty-six people."

After he reported, the Captain walked around on the ground, rubble creaking under his boots, and the Captain slowly walked through the black tweed line, his eyes on where they were headed.

He walked past three or four people, resting on the face of one of them.

"Get out of the line!" He said with his thick silkworm fingers against the prisoner's torn prison clothes.

"Prisoner 01367, throwing Molotov cocktails at the Imperial Administration, according to Article 117, Paragraph 3 of the Imperial Security Law, is sentenced to 20 years, and the sentence ends on September 14, 30th year of the Imperial Republic."

The prisoner recited as if he were slipping through his mouth. This is a frail young man, but at this time he could not see the vitality of the young man, but a little sickly bent his back, looking at this chief with a blank gaze, although he was thrown into this military prison only for a month, but in his body, it fully embodies the ability of human beings to adapt to various environments.

"How's it going?"

The captain blinked, a sneer flashing across his face.

"Thank you, sir...... It's a good time here, you can eat enough every day, and you can take a bath every day, and you have a doctor when you are sick. ”

When prisoner 01367 answered, the prisoners all smiled understandingly, with a hint of bitterness in their smiles, this is a routine question, everything here must not be told to the outside world, otherwise, they will definitely pay the price, this standard, stylized answer, is the only answer.

The captain's finger pointed into the queue.

"Get in the queue."

When he said this, prisoner 0367 breathed a sigh of relief, and after bowing to the commander, he turned back to the queue, but the moment he turned around, the captain casually took out the pistol from the holster, pointed the pistol at the prisoner, and then pulled the trigger.

Gunshot!

When the crisp gunfire came, it made Sun Wen, who was looking at the letter, tremble suddenly, he hurriedly put down the letter in his hand and looked towards the courtyard, fortunately, there were no dead people. …,

“00382！”

When the iron door was opened, another voice came, and without looking back, Sun Wen knew who came in, it was the military commander of this prison, Liu Mucheng.

When he turned around, Sun Wen's face was calm and unhurried, and he looked into the other person's eyes, all of which made him look like a seasoned person. He clearly knew that the Major Liu in front of him treated everyone like that, seemingly amiable, but in fact he was very stern.

However, only those who know him know that he is full of hostility towards the prisoners in this prison, although it is a hostility hidden in his heart, but fortunately, this hostility has not been exposed because of this prison, otherwise, life here would be even more difficult.

To a certain extent, although the person in front of him has been imprisoned for ten years, he has been the spiritual leader of the republican faction for many years, every day, he will receive letters from all over the country, and every day, there will be people in the outside world calling for his release, all of which will only lead to one result, that is, the investigation bureau has mastered more targets for monitoring through the "screening" of those letters.

However, from the day he was transferred to this prison on the outskirts of Nanjing two years ago, he was full of curiosity about this man, because in the past ten years, countless people have succumbed, but he has not been defeated, and even after the third commander, no one has bothered him.

Since he can't change it, let him fend for himself here!

Looking at the word "Zheng" engraved on the wall, Liu Mucheng smiled slightly, although he did not give in, but he also longed for freedom, although he was not sentenced to life imprisonment, but the first sentence was as high as 20 years, and the second time, just half a year after he was imprisoned, because he incited the prisoners in the prison to resist management, he was sentenced to 15 years again, and in the following years, he was sentenced three times, it can be said that unless one day the amnesty comes, he will never see a day of freedom.

"Looks like you've been getting a lot of letters lately!"

Seeing the hundreds of letters on the small desk behind him, Liu Mucheng said casually. It is not the duty of the prison to check the letters, and the Bureau of Investigation has a full-time investigator in charge of this.

"The more letters I have, the closer I'm to freedom!"

Sun Wen said meaningfully.

"It's just the dreams of some stupid people!"

Liu Mucheng said unceremoniously, standing in this single cell of only 6.8 square meters, looking at the word "Zheng" on the wall, which means "freedom", he couldn't help but laugh at this person's wishful thinking, or the dream-like fantasy of an idiot.

In Liu Mucheng's view, the so-called "dream" they pursue is just like the freedom that the person in front of him longs for, he will never be able to leave the prison to be free, his so-called dream will never be realized, and even if he dies, it will be difficult to be free, because even if he dies, he will sleep in the coffin provided for him by the prison and be buried.

"Before 1904, Chen Moran's dream, in the eyes of the Manchu court, was just a fool's dream, but in the end he succeeded!"

Faced with the commander's answer, Sun Wen retorted in a light tone that in the past many years, it was not entirely his beliefs that inspired him, but more of Chen Moran's success. However, he never seriously thought about several factors of Chen Moran's success, and all he saw was the possibility of success.

"Twelve years ago, when a group of pioneers set foot on Devil's Island to receive military training for the independence of this people, you ...... What is this revolutionary leader doing? ”

Liu Mucheng asked casually, and then he said in a mocking tone. …,

"You are directing the so-called uprising abroad, do you know what Your Majesty will do if the great uprising fails? Will he go into exile? No! ”

Involuntarily raised his voice, and at the same time, Liu Mucheng's expression was full of admiration.

"He's going to fight, even if it's to the death! Nor will it be taken refuge by outsiders! And what about you? What are the so-called republicans doing? You are taking refuge from outsiders, looking for foreign funding, damn it, maybe twelve years ago, you had a reason to do that, because then our nation was enslaved, well, you have enough reason, but now? The so-called republican radicals, like madmen, instigated strikes, instigated school boycotts, and even attacked government institutions, instigated rebellions, and this is what you did, where did you get your money? Is it a donation from overseas Chinese? No! Is it from our hostile countries, before the war, your funding came from Japan, and now your funding comes from Germany, is this what is called patriotism? ”

Mocking, Liu Mucheng's expression became a little excited, he couldn't help but be excited, because the republican radicals he came into contact with had all betrayed their country without exception, and their excuses were far from explaining the question of why they accepted foreign funding to overthrow their own government.

In his view, perhaps this was the original sin of the revolutionaries, who, like the Russian revolutionary party, opposed the war with the slogan "Let their government fail", and at the same time received a lot of money from the Germans, which was the so-called "patriotic revolutionaries".

Walking behind the narrow window, Liu Mucheng looked at the prisoner in the courtyard who was lying on the ground in fear because of the bullet grazing his scalp, trembling all over, and the corners of his lips lifted.

"If I could, I would rather kill all of you and not let any of you go, but in the final analysis, Your Majesty is too merciful, in any dynasty in history, your crimes are enough to punish the Nine Clans, but here, you are just betrayed, it's really ......"

Angry and grunted, Liu Mucheng's whole person became extremely helpless, if they were religious extremists, the problem would be much simpler, in the religious area, the military and police would directly kill those people, there was a battlefield, on the battlefield, no one would sympathize with them, and there would be no prosecutor to pursue everything, what happened on the battlefield, who would care?

But in the interior it was different, the investigators and the police who arrested them were subject to the prosecutors, and they would never shoot unless they met resistance, and eventually, after these people were sentenced by the court, some of them were transferred here for a military court, and eventually, they stayed in prison for a few years, and once they were out of prison, they continued to do their ** activities, and the prison was like a ...... for some of them Well, a further university!

"A university for further education!"

On a quiet and comfortable cobblestone road within the Garden Ring Road, a middle-aged man in a short woolen coat said to the young people next to him,

"Going to university?"

"That's right, there are too many people in prison, and for some of them, they are in prison, they have access to more like-minded people, a peaceful republican, who is locked up in prison for a few years, has the potential to become a radical, who learns to make bombs in prison, and then becomes a radical terrorist as soon as he gets out of prison."

At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped, stood by the willow tree by the river, looked at the lake without a trace of waves, and said quietly.

"In the past six years, the Bureau of Investigation has uncovered 364 attempted assassinations and bomb attacks, all of which were orchestrated by anarchist radicals in the republican faction, and 60 percent of the criminals had been imprisoned......

At this time, the middle-aged man was silent for a moment, and then continued.

"Unlike the true republicans, the anarchists have no intention of reforming the country, they have no interest in seizing state power, whether through revolution or through elections, they only want to destroy the country, they hate the government, they hate the royal family, they hate the army, in the last few decades, the anarchists have assassinated five or six heads of state, at the height of anarchism at the end of the nineteenth century, King Umberto I of Italy considered the assassination to be his own professional risk. But the same thing must not happen in China! ”

At this time, the middle-aged man's tone became extremely stern, and his eyes looking at the lake showed a cold look without any emotion.

"Among the idioms, there is a saying that prevention is better than burning! Now, we have to do something to prevent it from happening! ”

"Bureau?"

The young man behind the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and he obviously couldn't understand the words of the bureau.

"Now, some of His Majesty's views have changed, so the Investigation Bureau must also change, at least in terms of its attitude towards some people, there are some people, I think, they have lived too long, they survived, for the Empire, it is a threat, now, we must eliminate those threats!"
