Chapter 177: Calm Rapids
οΌ
Just as Jiang Zhongzheng was discussing Zhang Zuolin's proposal for peace talks, Tu Qianjun was frowning and coldly looking at a beaten and bruised man in Jinan Prison, whose shirt and pants had been stripped off into the image of a bare pig and locked in a dark and damp basement, looking at Tu Qianjun with blank eyes. So I want you to confess, trust me so you can at least die a happy death."
The man on the opposite side made a "gurgling~" sound in his throat but didn't say a word, and the face that was broken by the whip had a weird smile, which looked more like mockery. Seeing his appearance, Tu Qianjun didn't care, and said to Lin Leopard and Shang Dinan, who were following him: "You go out first, and I'll talk to this Mr. Kishimoto alone." Trust him to tell me something he knows......"
Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Lin Bao and Shang Dinan glanced at each other, then glanced at the prison administrator and left the cell together. "Bang~", the big iron door was closed. Tu Qianjun smiled slightly, walked to Kishimoto's side, and didn't know where to find an inconspicuous little scimitar, this knife is very special. Its bend turned out to be inward, and Tu Qianjun showed the knife in front of Kishimoto, smiled sincerely, and said softly: "Since you have been in China for so long, then you must know that we have a punishment that is called 'chopping punishment' or 'Ling Chi'. This kind of punishment is also called 'a thousand cuts', but it is not complicated. To put it simply, it is to use a small blade to avoid the blood vessels, and the punishment of thousands of knives can kill people. β
Kishimoto Qigoro heard Tu Qianjun's words, his eyes were no longer mocking, but more frightened, he had been in China for many years, he naturally knew this extremely cruel punishment, and at this time, Tu Qianjun looked at him and said softly again: "My knife is a small knife specially used for 'Ling Chi' in the Ming Dynasty, and it is very unfortunate for you that I happen to be very familiar with how to 'Ling Chi'." My highest record is 871 slices per person. Saying that, Tu Qianjun looked at Kishimoto Saigoro's eyes sincerely and said sincerely: "I hope you will let me break this record......"
Half an hour later, Tu Qianjun walked out of the cell with a gloomy face. Holding a confession in his hand, he said in a deep voice to Shang Dinan and Lin Leopard, who were guarding the door outside the cell: "Rush to the telegraph office immediately, I will immediately send a report to the marshal" Seeing Tu Qianjun's solemn expression, Lin Bao and Shang Dinan both felt the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went out and brought the horse, and then the three of them got on the horse and galloped all the way towards the Jinan Telegraph Office
In a few moments, they arrived at the telegraph office. Tu Qianjun asked Lin Bao and Shang Dinan to take the telegraph operator away, and then personally operated the telegraph to send a secret telegram to Zhang Zuolin in Beijing, and a few minutes later, a secret radio station in Beijing received this telegram that seemed to be garbled code. Secondly, we should arrange for people to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army, especially the movements of the Kwantung Army mentioned in the telegram, I believe that the army will not say those groundless words, since he said it, then this matter must be something, we must pay attention to it, and in addition, the time of the regulations must be adjusted again. In particular, it should not be leaked to the Japanese. β
Zhang Zuolin had calmed down at this time, and nodded after listening to Yan Zhengqing's solemn words. Then he continued to ask, "Sir, who do you think it would be better for us to send back to Fengtian City?" Yan Zhengqing couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhang Zuolin's words, and then said: "It's better for the commander to decide who to send, but my personal suggestion is: this person must be trustworthy first." If I can't believe it, I'm worried that it will cause leaks and even be bribed by the Kwantung Army, and secondly, don't be too conspicuous and important in the army, after all, if we suddenly send important people back, it will give the Northern Expeditionary Army a kind of bargaining that we are in a hurry to go back. Moreover, this will also cause the Kwantung Army to be vigilant and even lead them to launch a coup d'Γ©tat in advance. And the most important point is that this person must be able to fight, and once there is a war, then this person must be able to withstand the attack of the Kwantung Army, so as to delay the time so that we can return to Mukden. β
Hearing Yan Zhengqing's words, Zhang Zuolin kept nodding. This... is indeed the most important, originally he wanted to send his son Zhang Xueliang back. But now that I hear Yan Zhengqing say this, it seems that Zhang Xueliang really can't move lightly, after all, now is a critical moment in negotiations with the Northern Expeditionary Army, if Zhang Xueliang returns to Fengtian first as the main force, then An**'s military heart will definitely be shaken, and even the Northern Expeditionary Army will seize this opportunity to attack. Once the Japanese find out that Zhang Xueliang left and returned to Mukden, then maybe the Kwantung Army will really mention the incident, you know, at this time, the elite of An ** are all in the Guannai, once the fight starts, whether Fengtian can hold it is a question, and since the Kwantung Army has a plan, it will definitely nail itself to the main battle here to prevent them from returning to Mukden to organize resistance. But if Zhang Xueliang is not sent back, Zhang Zuolin himself is really worried about whether he can withstand the possible war of the Kwantung Army.
And Mukden City is too important, with arsenals, airfields, airplanes, and even tanks and artillery...... Wait is Zhang Zuolin's lifeline, if these life-saving things are lost, Zhang Zuolin really wants to kill people, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Zuolin still can't think of who to let go back, it seems that it is not suitable for anyone to go back, so he commanded Tu Sanpao behind him: "Sancang, you help me call all the six of them, I have to ask their opinions on this matter." β
Tu Sanpao let out a sigh and walked out of the headquarters. And Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly at Yuan Jinkai and said slowly: "Second brother, I also hope that this is not true, but the return of watching the army was tortured from the mouth of Kishimoto Saigoro, the director of the Secret Intelligence Department of the North Tun Garrison in Japan, and it should not be fake."
Yuan Jinkai, the word Jieshan and the word Zhaomaid, the evening number Jialu. This person is quite old, he was active in the political situation in the Northeast during the Zhao Erxun period, and even had a certain promotion grace for Zhang Zuolin, when the Wuchang Uprising occurred, Yuan Jinkai made a proposal to Zhao Erxun, and Zhao Erxun adopted it. When Yuan Jinkai learned that Zhang Rong and others were plotting to expel Zhao Erxun and declare independence, he immediately suggested that Zhao Erxun call Zhang Zuolin to lead a team to Fengtian to escort him, and quickly set up a security association for the three eastern provinces. This move contributed to the situation in which Zhao Erxun continued to control the three eastern provinces, and Yuan Jinkai was rewarded by the Qing court with four products in Jingtang and participated in the training of troops outside the customs.
As a result, Zhang Zuolin was able to enter Fengtian and began his process of gradually dominating the Northeast. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin has always not called Yuan Jinkai by name or character, but called "second brother" to show affection and respect. And Yuan Jinkai was even more after the death of Zhang Zuolin's senior think tank Wang Yongjiang, and Yu Chonghan was called the double master of the Tianwenzhi faction
"If things really go as the army says, then I have to be careful and must immediately send someone back to Fengtian to preside over the situation...... The candidate who waits is very important, we must think about making a decision, this person cannot attract the attention of the Japanese and the Northern Expeditionary Army, but the skills under his hand cannot be sparse...... "Yuan Jinkai is worthy of being one of the think tanks that Zhang Zuolin relies on, and after getting the document, he analyzed and made a decision after a while, which made Zhang Zuolin quite satisfied, it seems that there are people under his command
At this time, Zhang Xueliang, who had taken the telegram and read it carefully, said to Zhang Zuolin in a deep voice: "Father, let me go back, uncle, after all, he is not young, and most of the people in Fengtian City are security forces, once the Kwantung Army is launched, I think it will be unbearable" Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but smile and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Six, you are young, you can't leave now, since the Kwantung Army is ready to launch, how can you not stare at your movements?" And the results of our negotiations with the Northern Expeditionary Army have not yet come out, in case they launch an attack? You're just thinking it's too simple."
Zhang Xueliang was speechless with shame when he heard this, and at this time, Zhang Zuolin turned to Tu Sanpao behind him and suddenly said, "Sanpao, how about you go like this for Seventh Brother?" Everyone present was stunned when they heard Zhang Zuolin's words without warning, they didn't expect Zhang Zuolin to propose to let Tu Sanpao go for him, but Yuan Jinkai nodded when he saw Zhang Zuolin's arrangement, he also knew Zhang Zuolin and Tu Sanpao for many years, and naturally knew how fierce Tu Laohu who stood behind Zhang Zuolin without saying a word now
With him in Mukden, it is not difficult to keep Mukden from being breached for a period of time. Seeing this situation, Daisaku Kawamoto couldn't help but be anxious, and asked, "Commander, ...... down?"
"Well, don't talk about it, I've never heard of it. I don't know anything, you go down," Muraoka Chotaro suddenly waved his hand irritably, and shouted at Kawamoto Daisaku: "Kawamoto, remember your identity, think about how many people in our Kwantung Army are in China Manchuria now?" Some time ago, we have already lost tens of thousands of warriors in Jinan, and I don't want to see the emperor ** people so worthless jade shattered anymore"
Kawamoto Daisaku heard Muraoka Chotaro's words and was silent, he knew that now Tanaka and the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters were being burned out because of these things, Lieutenant General An Manqin was in Qingdao and directly apologized to the emperor, and the Japanese crowd was surging, and there were protests everywhere against the major consequences caused by the General Staff and the internal troops in Jinan, and everyone was pushed to the cusp at this time, Muraoka Chotaro naturally did not dare to make too big a move, thinking of this layer of Kawamoto Daisaku couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
But then Muraoka Chotaro's words made his eyes light up, and when he heard Lieutenant General Muraoka Chotaro, he said slowly to Daisaku Kawamoto in a deep voice: "But, if it is not the emperor's ** person to do this, then it must be that something happened, and we can't blame the Kwantung Army."
Daisaku Kawamoto is not a stupid person in the first place, how can you not know what Muraoka Chotaro means when you hear his words? To put it simply, as long as there is no evidence to prove that it was the Kwantung Army, then it doesn't hurt to do this thing, Daisaku Kawamoto couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard Muraoka Chotaro's words, and then said uncertainly: "What does the commander mean......"
"Hmph, stupidity naturally can't be done by our Kwantung Army people, but others can." Lieutenant General Muraoka Chotaro said, smiling weirdly and saying in a deep voice: "What are these two guys doing in the Shina army, Kohinata Shiraro and Date Junnosuke? Now is the time for the Empire to need them to move, and it's up to you to decide how to move."
Hearing the words of Lieutenant General Muraoka Chotaro, Kawamoto Daisaku couldn't help but be ecstatic, and then Lieutenant General Muraoka Chotaro looked at Kawamoto Daisaku and said coldly: "But, you have to remember: once there is a problem in this matter, it must not involve our Kwantung Army, tell the two guys Kohinata Shiraro and Date Shunnosuke, if the matter is successful, then they are our Kwantung Army people." If you fail, apologize to the emperor yourself."
