Chapter 278: Follow-up

With the cooperation of tear gas, rubber bullets and rubber batons, the guards who rushed into the crowd were like "tigers entering the flock", and it only took more than half an hour to disperse all the flag men outside Guoshe Avenue, and in the end, only a place of mourning was left...

Although he did this kind of thing, the people of the Guards Division did not feel guilty at all, after all, this is not the era when the "human rights defender" walked everywhere, even if it was a forcible criminal, he would discuss with you about the era of forcible annihilation of human rights.

In this day and age, you want soldiers to open the killing ring to ordinary people? Maybe they will hesitate for a moment, but if it is just violence against the masses...

"Hehe..."

Not to mention that the target of their violence is still the banner people, although Yan Guang's territory Sichuan is definitely more harmonious than other provinces in terms of Manchu and Han relations, this does not mean that there are no people hostile to the banner people in the past National Social Army and the current national defense army.

Therefore, when suppressing these banner people, many people in the Guards Division really killed them.

Of course, after the move, you always have to clean up the mess, not to mention that Yan Guang also gave a death order, and never allow any life to occur among the banner people who "make trouble", except for irresistible accidents ―――――― manpower...

So after the move, the Guards Division came over with another infantry division that came to assist. Fortunately, because of the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Yan Guang had arranged several field hospitals near Guoshe Avenue, so in the end, when the Wehrmacht people sent the injured flag men to the hospital, although many of them broke their tendons and fractures, but in the end, no one lost their lives.

Even Tie Liang, the mastermind behind the scenes...

Tie Liang was in Yanjing's mansion, and the lady who accompanied him to Yanjing was looking at the mansion that had not been back for a long time, when suddenly there was a chaotic sound outside, and from time to time there were a few exclamations...

Although Tie Liang is no longer a noble minister of the Qing court, and now he is no longer a Manchurian world, Tie Liang's wife does not have this kind of consciousness, so after hearing that someone around his mansion dared to make trouble, he directly raised his eyebrows and said to the servant girl on the side.

"Go and see who's yelling outside."

Although the Tieliang family has no power now, the maid is very in awe of her master, so she hurriedly whispered after hearing the order.

"Yes."

It's just that before the servant girl left for long, I saw her running back in a panic.

Seeing the servant girl like this, Tie Liang's wife was also shocked. Speaking of which, this handmaid has been with her as early as the Qing Dynasty before it perished, and it has been many years now, and years of contact have also made her know that her handmaid is a calm person, but now she is so flustered......... Could it be that something big is wrong?

Tie Liang's wife didn't guess wrong...

After returning to the courtyard, the maid said in a panic.

"Madam, no, the master is back!"

Although Tie Liang's wife also guessed that something must have happened, he didn't understand after listening to the maid's words.

"The master is back!"

Of course, this old man is referring to Tie Liang, but what's wrong with Tie Liang coming back? Isn't it usually bad that you can't come back?

Just when Tie Liang's wife was secretly strange there, the maid also reacted to her slip of the tongue and hurriedly restarted.

"The master and the others were all covered in injuries and were carried back by others!"

Tie Liang's wife didn't react at first, and when she reacted, even she panicked.

"How is it possible, how can the master be injured."

As he spoke, he was the first to run out of the courtyard, and the maidservant girl hurriedly followed.

After a short time, Tie Liang's wife and the maidservant came to the lobby of the mansion, and they were in the lobby......... Tie Liang and a few subordinates were lying on the ground without knowing life or death, while the other dozen or so subordinates who looked relatively intact were also leaning on the side with blue noses and swollen faces.

Needless to say, Tie Liang and a few others were brought back by a dozen of them.

When she saw Tie Liang lying on the ground without knowing whether she was alive or dead, Tie Liang's wife almost collapsed on the ground, and the maid who was still following her hurriedly hugged her.

When Tie Liang's wife stabilized her mind and walked to Tie Liang's side to find that he was just fainting and was not in danger of his own life, he hurriedly shouted to those subordinates who brought Tie Liang back.

"How did the lord become like this, say!"

Hearing Tie Liang's wife ask this, although the dozen or so people were in severe pain, one of them still stood up and said.

"Ma'am, that's right..."

said that the subordinate told Tie Liang's wife the whole story, but when he was about to talk about the end, there was a sudden sound of slamming the door outside Tie Liang's mansion.

About half a minute later, a subordinate ran in from outside in a panic.

"Madam, no, a group of soldiers have come to the door."

As soon as the next person's words fell, he heard a sudden "bang" outside, and then a team of men in black uniforms suddenly poured into Tie Liang's mansion.

Seeing such a group of guys in black uniforms breaking into their homes, Tie Liang's wife hurriedly said sharply.

"Who are you, don't you know that trespassing on people's houses is a crime!"

However, after listening to Tie Liang's wife's words, a man in black led by him just took out his own documents.

"We're from the MIA, and your husband is Murca? Tie Liang is right. As he spoke, the man in black glanced at Tie Liang, who was lying on the ground and had passed out. Your husband is suspected of treason, and we will take him this time, and you will go back to investigate..."

Saying that, the man in black didn't wait for Tie Liang's wife to respond, and with a direct wave of his hand, the people behind him had already taken down all the people in the mansion.

In the process of doing it, of course, the subordinates of Tieliang Mansion also thought about resisting, but with their faces full of vegetables, how could they resist the MIA?

So in just a dozen breaths, the people of the Military Intelligence Agency have already taken them all.

And when this group of black-clothed people did it, the homes of the former Qing Zonggui who had participated in inciting the banner people to "make trouble" were almost all patronized by the people of the Military Intelligence Bureau. It can be said that at least none of the former Qing magnates who participated in this incident can escape, not only that, but even some former Qing nobles who have a relationship with Yue himself have been taken down by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Of course, at the same time as the takedown, the military intelligence bureau also had conclusive evidence, and almost all of this evidence was provided by those who knew each other better, and many of them were still stalwarts among the banner people...

Of course, the Military Intelligence Bureau will go to Tie Liang's mansion to arrest people because of Yan Guang's order, because Yan Guang really wants to take this opportunity to clean up the dangerous elements among the banner people.

Therefore, when some of the Banner Restoration faction wanted to take refuge in Yan Guang, Yan Guang took advantage of their help to attack Tie Liang and others after obtaining enough evidence.

It should be noted that at the time when the bannermen were "making trouble", Yan Guang had already ordered the Military Intelligence Bureau to collect the photos of these former Qing Zonggui who encouraged the bannermen to "make trouble" and sent these photos to the officers and men of the Guards Division. When the incident of "making trouble" occurred, even if it could not be said that it was one per person in the hands of the officers and men of the Guards Division, it was a photo of each squad.

At the same time as sending the photo, Yan Guang also gave an order.

"As long as you see the person in the photo, you will beat me to death..."

That's why Tie Liang was beaten to death, because when Tie Liang was found, there were almost more than a hundred people around Tie Liang. As for Tieliang's subordinates? His master was surrounded by others, and these slaves naturally had to go up to protect their master, so they even suffered a lot with them.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone really dared to beat Tie Liang to death, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to return to the mansion at all.

――――――――――

Just when the people of the Military Intelligence Agency were searching for those Manchu nobles who had some relationship with him in Yanjing City, Yan Guang was also discussing the patent issues of "tear gas" and "rubber bullets" with Marzan.

Since the industrialization of Europe, the chances of factory workers going on strike have increased dramatically, especially after the idea of a "hammer and sickle" and various other ideas emerged.

At this time, this era is no better than that of later generations, and almost all powerful people have some relationship with capitalists, and many of them are even capitalists at all. In this case, nature was fraught with hostility to the striking workers and the idea of a "hammer and sickle".

Therefore, when a strike occurs, the policy of the political axe of various countries is almost always to salute first and then to fight, to persuade if it can be persuaded, and to suppress it directly if it cannot be persuaded.

It's just that the factories in our country are different from the colonial factories after all, and the workers in the factories are almost all citizens of our own country, and if you suppress them in this case, you can only beat them there with batons at most, and they will come with real guns?

At least in Europe and the United States, no country has dared to do this―――――― except for Maozi...

It's just that if you just use a baton, after all, it is still too deterrent, and at this time, techniques like the "tear gas" and "rubber bullets" that Yan Guang holds in his hands are very valuable. Both of these can cause a lot of pain to the target, and the likelihood of causing a lethal effect to the target is quite small.

It can be said that these two things are really the artifacts of the flat strike.

Marzan knew very well that if these two things were to come out, even if the political axe did not buy them, the capitalists would buy them privately.

So...

"Yan, let's make a price..."

Although Malzan was Germany's minister, capitalism has long been in the minds of every European, even Malzan. Seeing these two profitable inventions, the soul of capitalism is naturally burning.

Listening to Malzan's words, Yan Guang himself was also in a dilemma.

After all, when the "tear gas" and "rubber bullets" were invented, Yan Guang did not think of selling them―――――― the former was used for military purposes, and the latter was specifically used to deal with workers' strikes. After all, if you want the country to be strong, you have to take the road of industrialization, and industrialization...

At least in this era, the interests of the workers cannot be guaranteed.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Yan Guang finally decided to sell the licensing of these two patents in Europe to Malzan, after all, he had a very good personal relationship with Malzan. Now is not the time to offend Marzan, after all, if something goes wrong, the Germans delay the return of the Qingdao fortress for a few days, I am afraid that Yan Guang will have to face himself directly.

So after discussing for two or three hours, Yan Guang and Marzan reached a preliminary agreement.

According to the terms of the agreement, the licenses of "tear gas" and "rubber bullets" in Europe will be sold to Marzan, and Marzan will have to pay, in addition to a certain amount of cash, as well as a commission after the sale of the two inventions in the future.

Of course, Yan Guang provided Malzan with a European license, and only a European license, as for Australia, North America and South America, Yan Guang handed over the authorization to several other countries. For example, the authorization of North America, after contacting Standard Oil, the authorization of these two inventions was handed over to Yan Guang's old buddy Standard Oil.

Yan Guang's old buddy Standard Oil, although the main business project is oil, there are actually many other projects. Some of these industrial projects occupy a large share, so when Yan Guang and Marzan signed an agreement. With these two inventions, after contacting the people of Standard Oil, Yan Guang soon signed an agreement with Standard Oil.

The United States is a very powerful country, in a sense.

Unlike the great powers of this era, the United States is not a military power, but only an industrial power, which is why the United States did not dare to challenge Germany at this time. That's right, if we talk about industrial capacity alone, the United States is definitely stronger than Germany, but if we take all aspects together―――――― the United States is definitely much weaker than Germany.

Because of a lot of relationships, the content of the whole agreement is actually similar to the agreement signed by Marzan, in addition to the agreement between Malzan and Standard Oil, there are also Australia and South America...

Of course, these two places are somewhat sparsely populated, and they are equally scarce in terms of resources and industry, so it is more or less difficult for "tear gas" and "rubber bullets" to sell.

Fortunately, if it's money, no one will think that there is more money, although the share of Australia and South America is less, but if you are serious, there will be almost tens of thousands of pounds every year...

――――――――――

After signing the agreement with Yan Guang, Malzan naturally returned to the legation satisfied, as for other things―――――― after signing the agreement, the benefits brought by these two inventions were enough to maintain Malzan's livelihood.

Of course, for the sake of the interests of the German Empire, Marzan still has to take care of many things, but no matter how Marzan looks at the affairs of the flag man, he does not think that the matter of the flag man's "trouble" will have anything to do with the interests of the German Empire.

So when Malzan left, he simply ignored the flag men who were being transported to the hospital outside the car.

But Marzan doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that other people don't care either, for example, himself...

Forget about those "trouble-making" bannermen, although these "trouble-making" bannermen suffered a lot of mouths in Yan Guang's hands, but seriously, these people actually don't have much to do with Yue himself, after all, Yueben's resources are abundant, and it is impossible to be blessed with these ordinary bannermen.

But a banner man like Tie Liang...

He himself was eyeing the Manchurian region, and the Manchus also wanted to use the power of the Manchurian region to restore, so the two hit it off when they came into contact, which also gave the two sides a little "friendship"...

However, now Tie Liang and those Manchurians who have a relationship with him have almost all been arrested by Yan Guang's Military Intelligence Bureau, and while he is frightened by the Military Intelligence Bureau's cruel attack, he also went to Yan Guang to protest against Yan Guang's arrest of Tie Liang and others for no reason.

These protests were carried out directly, and it was said that Minister Ben went directly to Yan Guang to make representations.

After all, Manchuria is indeed Yue's sphere of influence for now, and this is also the tacit acquiescence of various countries, plus the bannermen arrested by Yan Guang have little to do with the Shandong region, and he does not need to attract the attention of the Germans after the matter is exposed.

But Yan Guang is also prepared for this...

"This is the testimony of Tie Liang and others..."

When Minister Yuben came to Yan Guang to protest, Yan Guang threw out all the testimonies of Tie Liang and others.

Of course, it is not only the testimony of Tie Liang and others, but also the testimony of many other people, all of which were provided by the banner people who took refuge in Yan Guang before the "trouble".

According to the evidence provided by these people, Tie Liang and Yue himself have already colluded to a certain extent, and only wait for Tie Liang and others to launch a restoration, and they will provide some degree of support, of course, this support is not priceless, Tie Liang and they also need to exchange things for it.

For example...

Certain interests...

"So, Mr. Minister, now you understand why I'm arresting them."

After throwing all this evidence in front of Minister Yuben, Yan Guang crossed his arms and sneered.

"I don't know if this evidence can prove their treason."

Although Tie Liang and they are indeed officials of the former dynasty, after all, they are just ordinary people without any position, and they give up the rights and interests of a piece of land to other countries without authorization, in exchange for the support of other countries, no matter in which country, it is definitely considered treason.

Looking at this evidence, Minister Ben was also speechless.

In the final analysis, no matter how much I covet the Northeast, the Northeast is still China after all, and it is the land of all Chinese. The fate of these lands is not determined by a certain ethnic group or surname, after all, they are not the only ones who have lived on that land from the beginning.

Therefore, he has nothing to say about Yan Guang's actions, after all, Yan Guang is just cleaning up traitors in his country.

Of course, none of this matters.

The most important thing is that the war in Europe has not yet broken out, and the attention of the British and Germans is still focused on Asia, and I can't make too big moves under the noses of the British and Germans...
