Chapter 69 The Little Emperor, the Big Deal III

There was a sound of water, and I saw Aoki Xuanjun's big and fat head coming up from the bottom of the water, and he wiped the water on his face with both hands, and leaned comfortably on the edge of the pool.

This pool is full of white steam, the clouds are steaming, and it is built in the back garden of Banxi Mansion in Dongjiaomin Lane, there is some natural hot spring smell, but unfortunately there is no faint smell of sulfur. On the edge of the pool, there is also a man with a white towel on his head and a glass full of sake in his hand, sipping one sip, this person is the owner of this place, Rihachiro Sakanishi.

Seeing his "teacher" Aoki Xuanchun coming out of the water, Banxi smiled slightly, and beckoned to the two young girls kneeling behind him, and the girls immediately took off their short and small kimonos, and jumped into the pool to gather around Aoki, gently squeezing his shoulders.

Aoki Xuanchun's expression was a little depressed, and he waved his hand to let the two girls leave. Rihachiro Sakanishi smiled and said, "Your Excellency, what's the matter, are you worried about Emperor Xuantong's affairs?" Didn't Prince Chun just say that they have a way to raise gold, as long as we send troops to escort it...... As for Tiyì, who escorted Xuantong to live in the Tianjin Concession, Prince Chun did not refuse, after all, if such a thing happened, everyone knew that Beijing City was not safe. ”

Aoki seemed to be worried about something, and when he heard Banxi's words, he shook his head slightly, and said with a cold expression: "Banxi-kun, what I'm worried about is not Xuantong, but the Red Brigade that kidnapped Emperor Xuantong!" What does red mean, you should be clear, right? Such an organization actually appeared in China and suddenly appeared right under our noses! Don't you think we're doing our job very rereliction of duty? ”

"Isn't it just a red terrorist organization?" Rihachiro Sakanishi looked disdainful: "They are all guys who have not achieved enough and have more than enough failures, don't you think those socialists in Russia were similar organizations?" Without their help, it would have been difficult for the empire to win the Russo-Japanese War! Now that China has such an organization, it is only good for the empire, and there is no harm! ”

Aoki's eyes shot towards Sakanishi like electricity: "Good for the Empire?" Do you really see it that way? ”

Sakanishi smiled and put China in a long period of turmoil and chaos, which was Japan's consistent national policy after the First Sino-Japanese War. Japan will support all organizations and forces that are in trouble with China's central government, both openly and covertly. In his view, this red brigade must also be an enemy of the Beiyang government, and Japan naturally has to try to support it.

He said with a smile: "All kinds of forces in China, whether it is the conservative Beiyang, or the Kuomintang and the revolutionary party that think they are revolutionary, do not dare to embarrass foreign countries, and they are fighting back and forth, all of which are damaging China's own vitality. Do they dare to be enemies of the Japanese Empire? ”

Aoki Xuanchun leaned on the edge of the pool, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Having said that, we don't have any information about the Red Brigade at all now!" Who are their leaders? And what are their claims? How many members are there? What is the power of mastery...... None of them! I only know that they kidnapped Xuantong and extorted 250,000 taels of gold...... With such a large sum of money, they are likely to become a force to be reckoned with in the political arena of China in the future! ”

Rihachiro Sakanishi still only smiled faintly: "Your Excellency, we can find a way to investigate what we don't know, the Red Brigade is only just rising now, and it shouldn't have much strength...... With so much funding this time, we will definitely have to recruit a lot of troops in the future, and we can take the opportunity to send people into it. ”

Aoki nodded and sneered, "Of course! The empire must control every move of all the political forces in China! ”

Banxi's expression gradually became stricter, and his eyes turned, as if he remembered something: "Your Excellency, in this restoration turmoil, in addition to the Red Brigade, it seems that there is another force that is about to rise rapidly. ”

"You mean Chang Ruiqing, right?" A smug smile appeared on Aoki's lips: "This person is almost in our hands...... Okamura Ninji had already brought his parents from Xuzhou City to Shanghai, and the Chinese were the most filial piety, and with this relationship, Okamura had the opportunity to get close to him. Moreover, he is Duan Qirui's person, and Duan Qirui is a pro-Japanese faction, so this person should not refuse the good intentions of the empire, and it is natural to become a pro-Japanese faction. ”

Rihachiro Sakanishi smiled: "Your Excellency's vision is far-reaching, this rising star of the Beiyang has not really risen, and it has not escaped the grasp of the empire." I don't know...... How do you want to use this piece? When this restoration turmoil passes, this person will most likely be promoted to a mixed brigade commander, right? ”

"It's certain that he will become a brigade commander, but how the empire will use or support him depends on his appearance...... He is Xu Shuzheng's confidant, and Xu Shuzheng is Duan Qirui's confidant, and after Duan and Xu regain control of Beijing, they will inevitably provoke a north-south war and try to unify China by force. Although they were pro-Japanese, a unified China was still not in the interests of the empire, even if it was unified by the pro-Japanese faction. ”

Aoki Xuanchun's tone was light, there were no ups and downs, and he kept talking: "When the war between the north and the south is together, it depends on whether he wants to become a prince of one side, or should he devote himself to Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng...... In short, the Japanese Empire was happy to support the local forces in China, and it was up to him to seize the opportunity. ”

……

Huang Baopei walked anxiously along the small alley of Tianjin Huajie, and looked around from time to time, for fear of something to watch, but he seemed to be the only one in the whole alley. In the past two days, the Chinese community in Tianjin has also been unpredictable, and on the day of Zhang Xun's restoration, someone once hung a dragon flag in the yamen, but Duan Qirui's people were beaten away before the afternoon. However, after such a trouble, the streets and alleys suddenly became a lot deserted, and the rich and powerful people also hid in the concession, and those who had no money and power tried their best to hide in their homes and not go out.

Seeing that no one was watching, Huang Baopei sighed softly, turned around at the mouth of the alley in front, got on the main road, walked for less than five minutes, and turned into the Tianjin Public Concession. Compared with the deserted and bleak Chinese Territory, the Tianjin Concession can be described as prosperous and lively to the extreme. The main road is full of speeding cars, and there are many high-rise buildings on the roadside, all of which are fluttering with various national flags, but there is no five-color flag of the Republic of China.

He glanced up at the sky where the clouds were falling, and seeing that it was about to snow, he hurriedly quickened his pace again. Today he is going to the dormitory of Peiyang University in Beishi, Tianjin, to meet with Mr. Chen Duxiu and Mr. Li Dazhao, who have taken refuge there, but for the sake of insurance, he first went around Nanshi and then crossed the Tianjin concession to Beishi, so it is inevitable that there will be some delays, and it will not be easy to make the two professors with great tempers wait in a hurry!

At this time, not long after the two professors got up, they had just finished washing, and they made a pot of tea in the house where Chen Duxiu temporarily lived and continued to discuss the theory of socialism. These days, the two of them have been studying various socialist theories and doctrines. At this time, the October Revolution in Russia had not yet taken place, and Marx's scientific gcism naturally had not become the "authentic" socialist theory, so the socialist theories obtained by these two great professors were also varied, and the two of them studied for a long time, but they did not understand the difference between the various schools, let alone know which faction the Red Brigade, which had become famous in China, belonged to it?

However, there is one thing that the two of them have already understood, socialism seems to be an economic theory! And China's current national conditions certainly cannot implement such a doctrine...... After all, it is to be built on the basis of the entire material and spiritual civilization of capitalism. However, China, a weak semi-feudal and semi-colonial country, has no soil for building socialism at all, and China's primary problem is still anti-imperialist and anti-feudal!

But can the Red Brigade achieve the goal of anti-feudalism by breaking into the palace and extorting money?
