Chapter 205: Today is not March 20
Outside the Tianjin Railway Station, rickshaws are crowded together in a chaotic manner, and the people and ox carts are busy back and forth.
Jiang Zhiqing was a little helpless among the merchants who came from the south to the north, and he hadn't found Wu Shiying after coming to Tianjin for so long, let alone meeting Yang Qiu and Song Jiaoren. The original plan was to go back to Japan by sea, but the news that several assassins were killed in the afternoon made the foreigners block the dock and not allow them to enter and exit, and there was news that the two would take a warship back to Shanghai tomorrow morning, and seeing that there was no chance, he had to take everyone to take the train from Nanjing back to Shanghai to find a way.
"Big brother, there are patrol officers." The subordinate pointed to the patrol officers and German soldiers who were checking at the entrance of the station, and said a little nervously: "I'm afraid I can't get through with a gun." ”
"Throw all the guns away, check that you don't leave bullets or anything on you." Jiang Zhiqing didn't want to cause trouble now, so several people immediately hid in the corner, and when they wrapped their pistols in newspaper and were about to throw them away, one of his subordinates suddenly pulled him: "Wu Shiying!" ”
When Jiang Zhiqing heard this, he hurriedly stopped wrapping his gun, turned his head and saw that Wu Shiying, who had served in the Shanghai Army, was actually swaggering towards the station, and before he could get rid of him with hatred. A sedan suddenly drove over from the spur, and Wu Shiying, who was a thief in the distance, was also obviously startled, and just about to turn around and leave, the car door slowly opened, and Song Jiaoren, who was full of solemnity, walked out of the car with Wu Tingfang and Cai Yuanpei!
What's going on? Why didn't Song Jiaoren go on a warship? In Jiang Zhiqing's astonishment, Wu Shiying on the opposite side was obviously a little dazed, and he didn't think that he actually met the main owner before going back, so he subconsciously went to touch the pistol.
Song Jiaoren and Wu Tingfang walked towards the station while discussing, obviously not noticing that they were already surrounded by wolves, Jiang Zhiqing was ecstatic, and while reloading the bullet into the revolver, he kept admonishing: "Remember, Wu Shiying killed him immediately after he hit, if he misses him, you will make up a few shots to blame him!" Do you understand? Seeing his subordinates nodding, he took the lead in getting out of the alley, but he didn't see Jiang Feng and several other special service members also quietly appearing behind them.
Seeing that Song Jiaoren was about to enter the station, Wu Shiying knew that this was the last chance, and after taking a look at the German soldiers and patrol officers, he suddenly gritted his teeth and pulled out his pistol and rushed towards Song Jiaoren. Cai Yuanpei, who was counting the train tickets, raised his head and was about to speak, when he saw a man on the left with evil eyebrows rushing over with a gun, and hurriedly shouted: "Escape Chu, be careful!" ”
Song Jiaoren was talking to Wu Tingfang about the afternoon, because Yuan Shikai was closed, he was even more worried that the civil war would break out immediately, so all his thoughts were on how to resolve it, and he didn't notice that someone was rushing towards him, and when he raised his head when he heard the voice, the Colt revolver in Wu Shiying's hand had already emitted a fire.
"Papapa" A few gunshots rang out, and the entire Tianjin Railway Station was stunned, and then there was screaming and chaos, and Song Jiaoren, who was covered in blood, frightened the passengers around him to run wildly, and German soldiers and patrolmen also blew sharp copper whistles and rushed over.
Jiang Zhiqing's sharp eyes saw that Wu Shiying's shots were missed, and he gritted his teeth and was about to go in to make up for two shots, but the crowd was so crowded that he couldn't get close, and the German soldiers quickly surrounded him, so he could only stomp his feet and chase after Wu Shiying.
After Wu Shiying succeeded, he immediately drilled into the alley of the house, this is not the south, he is not familiar with the place and must flee immediately, he may have a way to survive if he is caught by Yuan Shikai's people, but if he is caught by others, he will definitely die, so he desperately escaped. But he was not familiar with the northern alley, and in a blink of an eye, he was blocked by a wall, and when he was about to turn back, several figures blocked the way back, and before he could see the gun in his hand clearly, he was taken away, and the person was also pressed against the wall and could not move.
"Don't do it, Lord Ying Guixin asked me to come, Lord Ying is President Yuan Shikai's person!" Wu Shiying struggled to report out of the house, thinking that the other party would not dare to act when he heard the names of Ying Guixin and Yuan Shikai, but Jiang Zhiqing got the order that he had to kill him. Because this is the north, once something happens, Shanghai will not be able to intervene at all, Chen Qimei is also worried about this, after all, his identity as a Shanghai army is likely to be framed by others for wanting to kill Song Jiaoren.
Although he also wanted Song Jiaoren to die, he couldn't let the family frame him, so he sent Jiang Zhiqing to Tianjin to deal with the aftermath.
"Chen Dudu asked me to bring you a message, thank you Brother Wu for helping us slaughter Song Jiaoren." Jiang Zhiqing approached and said, this sentence also shocked Wu Shiying, I didn't expect these to be Chen Qimei's people ()! He is not a fool, others may leave him a way to live and wait for the case to be thoroughly investigated, but Chen Qimei will never leave him, because he is a Shanghai army!
Jiang Zhiqing was afraid that the gunshots would attract the patrol police, so he waved his hand and asked a few of his subordinates to hack him to death with knives, and Wu Shiying saw these people pull out their daggers, and his eyes glared out in horror! At this moment, several crossbow arrows suddenly shot from behind, and before the two Qinggang subordinates who were about to make a move could react, they were shot in the wrist and the dagger fell to the ground.
This sudden accident caught Jiang Zhiqing off guard, and as soon as he turned around and pulled out his gun, a sharp three-edged thorn had already pierced his body from the chest diaphragm, and the thin tip penetrated through his back, and the unique three-edged blood groove made blood gush out. He looked down at the three-edged thorn that pierced him, and then looked up at Jiang Feng in front of him, his lips squirmed and wanted to ask who the other party was, why he killed him indiscriminately, but the pain and the gradually disappearing consciousness made this sentence stop in his throat forever.
Jiang Feng didn't look at him, pulled out his bayonet and pushed him into the ditch next to him, at this time, the rest of the team members had already controlled Wu Shiying and several Qinggang killers, and they didn't blink their eyes after seeing this young man killing, and they all felt chills in their hearts for fear that they would be killed. A moment later, several German soldiers came over under the leadership of the Wehrmacht officer, and without looking at Jiang Zhiqing in the stinky ditch, they used the butt of their guns to serve Wu Shiying and a few Qing gang members fiercely, and only after beating their noses and eyes were swollen did they point at Jiang Feng, as if to say that he was abusing force, but after the officer muttered a few words, they left the two of them to drag Wu Shiying and the others to go first.
Jiang Feng couldn't understand German, so he walked up to the officer and asked, "What are these Germans talking about?" ”
"Say you shouldn't have killed." The officer quickly checked Jiang Zhiqing's body, turned out a few Japanese ferry tickets, and handed over the two gold bars that had been confiscated to the German soldiers who were protecting the scene. ”
"Outside the gates, Saibei?" Jiang Feng took the ticket and smiled slightly: "Northwest swordsman, Kanto beard, hehe, I have long wanted to touch it." After he smiled, he looked at Jiang Zhiqing, whose eyeballs were suddenly dead, handed over all the military stabs and weapons to the officer, and changed his clothes and led everyone to the train station, and the officer immediately grabbed his burden and disappeared into the chaotic flow of people.
In the building of the American-Asian Association, Yang Qiu didn't know what happened at the train station, he was chatting with Ma Kui, Chang Si and others: "This time I lost Brother Ma and Chang Siye, if it weren't for you in the periphery, Yang probably wouldn't dare to step into Tianjin Wei ()." ”
Ma Kui smiled and said: "Don't be polite to the commander and us, I want to thank you, I had a sore back in Chongqing a few days ago, but this time I came out for a walk is much more comfortable, I think it's really a busy life for a groom." ”
He was born as a baggage soldier, and in the past, the army called the baggage soldiers "horsemen", but as Yang Qiu, the "horseman", became more and more dazzling, the baggage soldiers held their heads up wherever they went, as if they were the descendants of the National Defense Army, and the National Defense Army attached great importance to logistics, which made these guys more and more proud, so when everyone heard this, they all laughed, and even Yang Qiudu scratched his head.
Ma Kui himself also smiled, this time after he came out to have a good time, he really didn't want to go back to his idle post as the commander of the garrison area, and asked: "Commander, this time we and Beiyang have completely turned faces, what should we do next?" You're not going to send me back to Chongqing again, are you? ”
"There is indeed a big event that needs to be run by Brother Ma." Yang Qiu's expression became serious, he walked to the map and pointed and said: "An Guoliang has led a cavalry regiment disguised as a merchant across Shaanxi, and according to the time, he should be able to reach Datong in ten days." Zhangjiakou has our liaison, and Fang Rui has also organized people to buy more than 1,000 good horses in the horse market, I hope that Brother Ma can take me on a trip, and when I arrive, I will immediately go to Datong to meet An Guoliang, and then go to Taiyuan to meet Yan Xishan."
"Shanxi is a big deal, if Yan Xishan is willing to cooperate, we will win this battle sixty percent!" Yang Qiu stopped his finger and looked at Ma Kui with a solemn gaze: "Brother Ma saw him tell me on my behalf that if he is willing to join us, I will not only give him the establishment of the Sixth Division, but also guarantee that he will take Shaanxi to join him within a month after the start of the battle, and will never let the Sixth Division fight alone, but also ensure that he can continue to serve as the governor of Shanxi Province!" ”
Zhang Xiaozhun next to him secretly took a breath, this stroke is not small, you must know that now in addition to the two new guard divisions, the remaining eight brigades are waiting to change the division, but Yang Qiu has not agreed, this time in order to take Shanxi, he actually gave the establishment of the sixth division, I don't know how many national defense army officers will die! And he is more familiar with Yan Xishan, if he is allowed to work alone in Shanxi, he will definitely not be willing, but it is different to send an independent cavalry regiment subordinate to the General Staff, not to mention that he also guarantees to take Shaanxi within a month, and at least he will not listen to Beiyang's orders ().
As long as Shanxi does not move, Shaanxi will not be in a big problem, no matter how bad the fourth division is, it is also one of the five main divisions, the equipment and personnel have been trained for more than a year, and the low-intensity conflict of [Anmin] has been trained, and a large number of backbone officers have been replenished, and it is more than enough to deal with a Beiyang peripheral division that lacks heavy weapons, once Shaanxi and Shanxi are connected, the Jinghan line will be completely broken, so Yang Qiu said that winning sixty percent is already considered polite.
After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he said with concern: "Yan Xishan shouldn't turn his face, but his subordinates maybe, Yuan Shikai has not planted people with him this year, Brother Ma, you must be careful of your own safety, if you can't do it, you will go to Suiyuan with An Guoliang to stand by." ”
Seeing that he cared so much about his own safety, and would rather give up Shanxi temporarily to ensure his safety, Ma Kui patted his chest warmly and promised: "Commander, rest assured, Ma Kui knows how to measure." ”
Ma Kui is more careful, and he is the oldest officer who came out with Yang Qiu back then, and he is also the commander of the Chongqing garrison area, although he is deficient in combat, but it is full of weight to go to see Yan Xishan on his behalf, so Zhang Xiaozhun also said: "Yan Xishan should not embarrass Commander Ma, if he refuses, I think I can let the cavalry regiment put on a posture of going south to Jincheng, so that he can't call the shots!" ”
"Good way!" Ma Kui slapped his thigh: "Jincheng is next to Henan." It's not far from Luoyang, as long as we reveal the meaning of stationing there, it will inevitably cause panic in Beiyang, Yuan Shikai will definitely go straight to take Taiyuan completely, Yan Xishan will not watch his territory being completely swallowed by Beiyang! ”
"Then let's do it." Yang Qiu turned to look at the darkening sky, and was about to say a few more words when hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Murong Han almost crashed into the office, and his panting appearance made everyone's hearts sink, what happened? Before he could ask, he had already shouted: "My lord, it's not good! Mr. Dunchu and his party were assassinated at the train station! The person was admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, and his fate is unknown! ”
Hearing the news, Yang Qiu almost subconsciously went to look at the calendar on the wall, today is not March 20th.
