January 24, 1924.

The streets of Yoyogi Training Ground in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and the streets of Meiji Jingu Shrine are crowded with well-dressed citizens, and this area of Tokyo has been carefully cleaned up, and the damage caused by the earthquake has been covered up by a temporary curtain, and the roads that have become potholed by the earthquake have been smoothed out, and the snow on the streets has been cleared. If you just look at this area, the city really has some recovery from the disaster.

Since the Japanese Red Army took over the city of Shihou a week ago, the citizens of Tokyo have decided that the heads of the National Salvation Committee and the leaders of the Japanese GCD will enter the city of Tokyo as victors on the 24th. At the same time, more than 20,000 officers and men of the Red Army's Fourth Division, who had made the most of their contributions in the Battle of Okuyu, as well as some students of the Red Army's Military and Political School, will hold a triumphal ceremony to cross the central area of Tokyo. The Tokyo Military Control Committee of the Japanese Red Army and the Tokyo Municipal Committee of the Japanese Army have been making full preparations for this during the week. The refugees who had set up tents in the area around the Yoyogi training ground and the Imperial Palace Square were all driven to the outskirts of Tokyo. Then he organized a large number of revolutionary masses to "spontaneously" take to the streets, putting on a posture of welcoming the Red Army in empty alleys. Of course, diplomats from various countries in Tokyo, as well as the heads of the Red Cross Societies in Japan who were involved in the relief of the Great Kanto Earthquake, were all invited to observe the grand military parade. Among them, Song Meiling and Du Yuesheng, the heads of the Red Cross Society of China, stood in the middle of the crowd of the Red Cross Societies of various countries with complicated feelings, waiting for the elite of the Japanese Red Army, which kept shouting anti-China slogans but had never fired a single shot at the squadron, to tongguo in front of them.

10 o'clock in the morning. The sound of the melodic music and the singing of Japanese can be heard faintly.

“…… The waves in Miluo Yuan are turbulent, the clouds are flying next to the Wushan Peak, and I am independent in the turbid world. Righteous indignation burns and blood surges. The powerful only know the proud family, and there is really no one in the country, but the wealthy lord knows how to boast and accumulate wealth, and the society thinks about it. The sage sees the decline of the country, and the fool still dances the world. The rise and fall of chaos is like a dream, and the world is really like a game of chess. In the spring of the revolutionary restoration, justice gathers the big husband. There are already a million soldiers in the chest, and ten thousand cherry blossoms are scattered. The rotting corpses crossed over, and this body fluttered and floated together. Worried about the country and stand forward. The boy sang from now on. The sky is shaking with rage, the roar is very loud, the eternal sleeper cannot sleep, and Japan is awakening in the present day. Fallen between heaven and earth. Confused not zhidào where. Those who have praised glory in the world, whose high-rise buildings are still visible. Fame is just a dream, only sincerity will never be lost. Life, but I feel that I have been overwhelmed by success or failure, who can comment. The song of resignation is chanted, and the song of generosity and sorrow is over today. The sword on my waist is there, and the blood in the sea is surging! ”

"This is a shime song?" Song Meiling couldn't understand Japanese, but she felt that the tune was majestic and exciting, so she asked in a low voice.

Du Yuesheng on the side was born in the Green Gang, and he was developed into a spy of the Intelligence Bureau by Chang Ruiyuan a long time ago. Now he is coming to Japan to spy on intelligence in the name of the Red Cross Society, so naturally he has long been zhidào, the famous military song. He smiled, "Third Miss." This is the military song of the Japanese Red Army, and its name is "Song of Young Japan". The lyrics are to the effect of opposing the powerful gate valve and reforming Japanese politics. ”

Song Meiling frowned, and sighed: "Sing well, things don't do well." ”

"What does Miss Three mean?"

"For the sake of this military parade, the hundreds of thousands of refugees on the Daiyogi training ground and the palace square were driven out of the city, where is there still yidiǎn love for the people?"

Du Yuesheng shook his head and said in a low voice: "Third Miss doesn't know, the military parade is just an excuse, the Palace Square and the Daiyomu Training Ground can be of great use to them!" ”

Song Meiling snorted, and just wanted to ask. The loudest cheers erupted in Turán on both sides of the street, when the "Red Emperor" Hirohito and the chairman of the Japanese G, Katayama, appeared in the eyes of the people on horseback. "Red Emperor, onboard! Katayama, onboard! The shouts resounded through the sky. However, Miss Song San, who had good eyes, still saw the red emperor's face at a glance.

Immediately after that, rows of young officers and soldiers wearing Red Army uniforms and blue peaked military caps walked at the front of the parade. Du Yuesheng introduced Song Meiling in a low voice: "They are graduates of the first phase of the Red Army's military and political cadre study, and all of them are Japanese Cheka soldiers!" ”

"That's a lot!" Song Meiling muttered in a low voice.

"Is it much?" Du Yuesheng smiled and said, "This is just a small part, and the other Cheka warriors are now on a very important mission!" As he spoke, he glanced back at the direction of the palace square and sighed softly: "This country is ......."

……

The officers and men of the Japanese Red Army's political and security bureaus, who were heavily armed, made an emergency dispatch in Shihou early this morning. They set off from the camp at the Yoyogi training ground and sped all the way to the Imperial Palace Square in central Tokyo in Soviet-aided military trucks.

The troops got out of the car in a large group of noisy brigades in an open field not far from the palace in Akasaka. The palace square zhouwéi has long been controlled by the "Cheka warriors" who arrived in advance, and no one other than those with tèbié passes are allowed to enter or leave! At several entrances and exits of the Imperial Palace and Akasaka Imperial Palace, there were blockades set up by officers and soldiers wearing blue hats, and machine guns were erected at each place!

The few female officers and attendants who remained in the palace and Akasaka left the palace watched from a distance as the blue-hat officers and soldiers jumped out of the car one after another. From the outside, these young officers and soldiers seem to be the same as ordinary Japanese Red Army officers and soldiers, but they always give people an eerie and terrifying gǎnjiào for no reason.

At the assembly ground outside the Akasaka Imperial Palace, the blue-hats lined up in a neat phalanx, each of them carrying powerful submachine guns.

What the hell do they want to do shime? Actually put on such a murderous posture at the gate of the palace?

Another car came galloping, and the front of the car actually had a flag with a sixteen-petal eight-fold chrysanthemum pattern, but the background color of the flag was bright red, and hǎoxiàng was soaked in blood!

The phalanx of blue hats at the bus station came to a halt. When the car door opened, a fair-skinned young man, also dressed in a Red Army uniform and wearing a blue hat, emerged. With gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, it looks like Hǎoxiàng is a teaching assistant at Waseda University. He is Yasuo Yasuo, the director of the Japanese Red Army Political Security Bureau, but he now has another more tèbié identity, the Imperial Minister of the Red Emperor Hirohito! Behind him was a blue-hat officer holding a wooden box with a chrysanthemum pattern painted on a sixteen-petal eightfold table. Inside the wooden box was an edict that would kill many people, and it was the Red Emperor Hirohito who had issued it under the persuasion of the "Minister of the Yasuda Palace".

Yasuda stood at the front of the queue and began to lecture at the top of his voice: "Soldiers of the Political Zhì Security Bureau, your duty is shime?" ”

The roar suddenly sounded in unison like thunder: "Defend the Japanese GCD!" Defend the Red Regime! ”

Yasuo Yasuda nodded heavily: "Very good!" Although the red regime in Japan has been established, it has not been consolidated! The enemies of the party, the enemies of the red regime are still all over Tokyo, and their head is there! As he spoke, he raised his arm and pointed at the Akasaka Imperial Palace, and said loudly, "The enemy is inside the Akasaka Imperial Palace!" They are plotting there. Prepare a qiē enemy at home and abroad hostile to our GCD to overthrow our red regime! You say, 'What should we do?' ”

All the blue hats shouted loudly: "Destroy resolutely!" ”

"ruguo, they used to be high princes and dukes. What about the so-called patriarchal ministers? ”

"Resolutely eliminate!" The blue hats' reply was a little louder.

Yasuo Yasuda nodded, today's action is "please". But he deliberately did not tell the blue hats of Sùziji's subordinates, in order to test their loyalty to the party!

The party nénggou tolerated some loyalty to the monarch in the minds of most of the Red Army generals, but it was absolutely intolerant of the Ziji defense fighters General Emperor

The family is regarded as a sacred and inoffensive deity.

Yasuo Yasuda yelled, "Good! Now I order the 2nd and 3rd squadrons to occupy the palace. To quickly and decisively crush a qiē resistance. Arrest a person in the palace, and if the enemy dares to resist, he will be killed! The first squadron comes with me, let's go to the Akasaka Imperial Palace to arrest the first evil! ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" All the blue hats snapped and stood upright. Then they divided into three columns under the leadership of their respective squadron leaders and Yasuo Yasuda, and advanced towards the Imperial Palace and Akasaka Imperial Palace not far away.

……

Gunfire soon rang out in the Imperial Palace and Akasaka Imperial Palace, and although the palace garrison was dismissed after the Red Army entered the castle, the palace attendants, female officials, shodens (shrine personnel), and inner shodens (female shrine personnel) and other personnel who served the Imperial family remained. At this last moment of crisis, these people all took up arms and guarded their master, the unconscious Emperor Taisho, his empress, and several sons. But where are these people who are the opponents of the well-trained blue hats? In addition to being beaten to death by rows and rows, he obediently raised his hands and surrendered and became a counter-revolutionary criminal. However, the difference between the two is not too big, and the Japanese GCD will certainly not allow these witnesses of the bloody palace to survive for too long.

The Duke of Konoe, who believed in GCD, was guarding the Akasaka Imperial Palace at this time. Due to the appearance of the former Imperial Household Minister Nobuaki Makino at the time of the 9.3 Revolution, the Red Emperor Hirohito, after learning of the reconquest of Tokyo, ordered the removal of Makino from his post and allowed Fumihiro Konoe to take over the Imperial Household Ministry. So now he has to bite the bullet and question Yasuo Yasuda, who led the troops into the palace.

"This official is the Minister of the Imperial Household, Fumiro Konoe, you ......"

However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Yasuo Yasuda: "Fumio Konoe, you are arrested!" ”

"Arrested?" Konoe Fumiro was stunned for a moment, and blurted out to ask, "For shime?" But the Méiyou replied, and only two stocky blue hats rushed up and pushed the pampered Duke to the ground, and then tied up the five flowers with hemp rope, gagged them with a dirty rag, and carried them to the truck outside.

At this time, a female official wearing twelve kimonos was dragged in front of Yasuo Yasuda, Yasuda smiled kindly and nodded at him: "Can you take me to see Emperor Taisho and several princes?" The female officer nodded tremblingly, and led the way in front with the support of the two blue hats, and soon led Yasuda and the others outside a closed gate.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister of the palace asks to see you! Please open the door! Yasuo Yasuda's side was surrounded by a blue hat who shouted loudly in a Kyoto accent mimicking the tone of the priest in the shrine. Then the door creaked open, and someone looked out through the crack in the door. At this shihou, a few blue hats slammed the door open with all their strength. Then Yasuda barged in with a couple of blue hats. He also held an edict that was said to have been issued by the Red Emperor Hirohito himself.

"His Majesty the Emperor Showa personally wrote an edict here, and you still don't salute!" With Yasuda's shout. A room full of panicked men, women, and children, except for the Taisho Emperor who couldn't move while lying in bed. At the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Now such a scene is afraid that GCD is going to open a killing ring to eliminate the remnants of the previous dynasty, and Ruguo is an order from Emperor Hirohito, but there is no need to be afraid, and the top of the sky is exile on a desert island...... Since ancient times, Japan has been able to kill the emperor of Ziji's brother cleanly!

Yasuda Yasuo swept around these so-called descendants of the gods with cold eyes, and said loudly in his voice: "By the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, immediately exterminate the traitorous thieves Chichibu Gong Yongren, Takamatsu Palace Xuanren, and Mikasa Palace Chongren!" Stand up and die, you three traitors! ”

"Destroy! This...... How is this kěnéng! How did Hirohito kěnéng issue such an edict. How could Hirohito be so vicious...... "Inside the room, a woman in her forties wearing twelve kimonos shouted and stood in front of the three stunned older boys as soon as she heard Yasuda's words.

"Come on, drag this crazy woman away!" Yasuda waved his hand, and a blue hat was ordered to take the woman. That is, the queen of Emperor Taisho, Setsuko Kujo, was dragged out. The woman who gave birth to Emperor Hirohito could clearly hear a burst of gunfire in the midst of Ziji's cries. Then Yasuda swaggered out of Emperor Taisho's hospital room with a group of blue hats, and walked on the shoulders of the last three people, each carrying a corpse, which was none other than her other three sons......

……

Just as the three younger brothers of Emperor Hirohito were killed by the bullets of justice, the action to suppress the counter-revolutionary national thieves was carried out all over Tokyo. Brigades of ordinary Red Army soldiers and blue-hat guards poured into the streets of Tokyo. The cadres ran ahead. A loud command was given to the soldiers to keep up. The deserted streets of Tokyo are filled with the neat footsteps and passwords of soldiers.

However, the actions of these Red Army soldiers in different areas of Tokyo were completely different. In areas where ordinary civilians gather, just the usual martial law and patrols, not against civilians, but to prevent class enemies from taking advantage of the opportunity to hide in civilian areas to escape pursuit. In areas where intellectuals and the middle class are concentrated, arrests have occurred sporadically, targeting mainly cadres of Japan's newly banned political parties, as well as some literati or journalists who have published newspaper articles attacking GCD for being undemocratic. In the noble neighborhoods where the bourgeoisie is concentrated, arrests are more common. Most of those arrested were capitalists who had trade with China or had investments in China, and were accused of being a comprador in Japan! The area around Asakusa Town was the hardest hit by arrests.

Guards in blue hats led the squad of ordinary Red Army. smashed open the doors of one luxury house after another, and arrested the male owner of the family and the boy who was more than one meter tall.

Those so-called regent family (the family of the Japanese minister's family), the Qinghua family, the minister's family, the Yulin family, the famous family, the half-family and other old-fashioned nobles, as well as those high-ranking nobles who evolved from the original feudal lord's family to the Chinese family after the Meiji Restoration, except for a few dozen Yijing families who participated in the revolution or fled with their families to leave Japan, almost all of them were arrested in this **. The soldiers of the Red Army Political and Security Bureau did not care that the heads of these families had méiyou participating in the puppet provisional government, in short, they were all arrested and sent to the temporary prison of the Yoyogi training ground. And most of them, ruguoméiyoushimeggcd, who interceded with the help of the bigwigs, were ruthlessly suppressed until the end of February.

By the evening of January 24, almost 10,000 people had been arrested in the entire city of Tokyo, and the makeshift prison fenced off by a wooden fence at the Yoyogi training ground was almost overcrowded! However, this Japanese arrest of the century was not all smooth sailing, and in the arrest of guochéng, there was an unexpected resistance! Japan is a country that is so undetrimental that such a thing as arresting counter-revolutionaries can still lead to resistance.

At present, it is mainly those who are rebelling against the former feudal lords who became Chinese after the Meiji Restoration, or members of the Meiji Hero Family. These reactionaries are all so-called "children of the martial arts", and there are still swords handed down from their ancestors in the house, and Ziji is estimated to have practiced a few times, so he thinks how brave he is. When the security fighters came to arrest people at home, Shihou brandished a big knife and slashed it!

Most of them were of course killed on the spot, but some of them were hacked to death and wounded many revolutionary fighters before they were killed, and some of them slipped away in a bloody way! As a result, for a long period of time in Shijiān, the city of Tokyo was not very peaceful, and from time to time Red Army cadres who went out alone were beheaded, or more senior Yidiǎn Japanese GCD or Japanese Red Army officials were assassinated in Ziji's office.

Even Comrade Katayama, chairman of the Japanese GCD, was assassinated dozens of times! Although it was unscathed, it was also scared out of half of his life, and it is said that he had nightmares all night! Well, there are really kinds of these Japanese counter-revolutionaries! After learning from the pain, the Japanese GCD later decisively implemented the "Hunting Knife Order" and the "Kitchen Knife Real-Name System" (Japanese kitchen knives also look similar to the murder weapon), but the effect is not ideal......

The policy of the Red Terror has run into some big trouble in Japan! (To be continued.) )
