Chapter 36: Tokyo Raiders
Ruiryuji Temple, the headquarters of Marshal Dashan Iwa.
ββ¦β¦ Lost contact with General Yamaguchi's divisional headquarters. β
ββ¦β¦ The vertical well found more than 5,000 enemy infantry and dozens of cannons......"
ββ¦β¦ Sekigahara was captured by the enemy's cavalry infantry, and the 2nd Division was no longer able to organize a counterattack......"
ββ¦β¦ The artillery units in the direction of Tianmanshan were suppressed by enemy artillery fire, seven artillery batteries were already ineffective, and other artillery batteries were forced to withdraw from their positions......"
ββ¦β¦ The enemy began a counteroffensive in the direction of Tianmanshan, and the left flank of the defense line of the 1st Brigade was broken through ......"
"Enemy cavalry found a kilometer south of the headquarters!"
"Enemy troops begin shelling, evacuate, evacuate immediately!"
"There is an enemy flag on the top of Jinsheng Mountain!"
"We are surrounded!"
"Don't panic, come with me if you can get a gun......"
In the midst of the chaotic noise, Oyama Iwa was so quiet that he was almost demented, and in his hand he was holding a family heirloom Japanese sword, and he was hugged by his men and ran around, until he found that there was no way out, and he sat down on the edge of a small pond with a pale face.
"Lord Marshal, organize the troops to break through, it's still too late." Lieutenant General Notsuji, the chief of staff of Oyama Iwa, pleaded.
"Break through, where to go? Are you going back to Tokyo? Dashan Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Yes, go back to Tokyo, recruit people, and fight to the death against the traitor Qinggou." Notsuji Road.
"It's useless, I've tried my best......"
There was a loud "boom", and a nearby mahogany corridor cracked, and the broken wood flew down, splashing the water in the small pool.
Notsuji dusted off his clothes, and turned his head to see Oyama Rock slowly drawing his sword.
"Won't you regret giving up like this?"
The commander of the 1st Division, Lieutenant General Mao Liyuan, walked out of the smoke and dust and said coldly beside Dashanyan.
"That's it." Oyama began to unbutton his shirt.
"Afraid of being captured, or afraid to die in battle?" Maori asked unceremoniously.
"Is there anything wrong with just choosing an honorable way to die?"
Da Shanyan touched his belly and said, he aimed the tip of the knife at his abdomen, suddenly remembered something, put down the knife and reached out to the pool to pluck water, and gently sprinkled it on the surface of the knife.
Maori pulled out his saber with a "swish", pointed at Dashan Yan and shouted: "Stubborn and annoying, you can stay here and collect the body of the Zhina, I want to see who can stand in my way." Nozu-kun, will you come with me, or will you be martyred for this old guy? β
Notsuji hesitated for a moment, but still bowed to Dashan Yan: "Your Excellency Marshal, I'm sorry, Bodhisattva bless, you have gone all the way to the Elysian realm, and it is difficult for your subordinates to accompany you anymore." β
"Bodhisattva bless." Oyama Iwa said that he didn't wait for Nozu and Maori to go away, and he had already started to cut the knife.
The sunset at eighteen o'clock in winter dyes a layer of bleak blood red on the snowy slopes of Jinsheng Mountain, although it is beautiful, but few people pay attention to it.
The people down the hill are still busy, making waste and exhaust gases, and no one can bother them except themselves.
The Second Battle of Sekigahara on January 18, 1895, was as large as the First Battle of Sekigahara 295 years earlier. Both sides committed nearly 200,000 troops around the narrow Sekigahara Basin, including 105,000 on the rebel side and 90,000 on the coalition side. The result was the opposite of the First Battle of Sekigahara, in which the coalition forces from the west routed the rebels from the east and seized the important towns of Gifu and Nagoya, and approached Tokyo along the Tokaido. The supreme military commander of the rebels, Marshal Oyama Iwa, committed suicide by disembowelment at Zuiryu Temple, and the commander of the Second Division, Lieutenant General Kunimasa Yamaguchi, the commander-in-chief of the White Tigers, Lieutenant General Iwamatsu Kei, and the commander-in-chief of the sword-drawing team, Lieutenant General Toyoji Harada, were killed in battle, and the total number of officers and men suffered more than 78,000 casualties, of which more than 42,000 were killed and more than 9,000 were captured (excluding the wounded). The commander of the rebel 1st Division, Lieutenant General Mori Morimoto, together with the rebel chief of staff, Lieutenant General Notsuji, led 2,000 elite guards to fight their way out of the encirclement, collecting routs along the way, and rebuilding the 1st Division in Yokohama, a doomsday division composed of less than 10,000 old and weak soldiers. The cost paid by the coalition forces was more than 18,000 casualties, of which more than 5,700 were killed.
The small Sekigahara has really piled up the bones of hundreds of thousands of warriors more than ten generations apart in three hundred years.
Ding Jieyun, commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, saw the result he wanted - the most decisive victory with the smallest (Chinese) sacrifice. Of the total 18,000 casualties of the coalition army, more than 9,800 were attributed to the Chinese Janissaries, of which only more than 2,300 were killed, which should not be regarded as a serious loss compared to the base of 60,000 men invested by the Janissaries, and such losses did not affect the future operations of the coalition forces. Within a week after the war, all the main forces of the aircraft group directly under the command were restored to full strength.
On January 23, the Allied Osaka Cluster, supported by two brigades of the First Infantry Division of the Qing Army, launched a general attack on the Osaka city where the rebel miscellaneous troops were entrenched, and ended the battle on the night of January 24, annihilating more than 30,000 defenders.
At this point, the rebels relied on less than 40,000 men and were divided into three groups: Major General Yamane Nobunari's Second Guards Brigade, Lieutenant General Morimoto's so-called First Division, and Lieutenant General Hondori's White Tiger Right Brigade. Among them, except for the Second Guards Brigade of Major General Nobunari Yamane, which can still be called an army, the other two units can only be described as a rabble.
Admiral Saigo, the provisional military governor and auxiliary adjutant officer, assumed the post of interim prime minister on January 24 as the so-called dictator with the highest power in the military government.
At the headquarters meeting in Tokyo, Saigo threw the issue on the table in an attempt to share it with his fellow parties.
"Now that the matter has come to this, you don't need to be bound by customs, please tell your true thoughts in full, and the fate of the millions of people around Tokyo is in our hands."
Saigo got up with a "sigh" and bowed deeply to the four people present, including Lieutenant General Notsuji, Chief of Staff of the Army, Lieutenant General Mori Morimoto, commander of the 1st Division, Major General Nobunari Yamane, commander of the 2nd Guards Brigade, and Lieutenant General Bundorineng, commander of the White Tiger Right Brigade.
No one spoke.
"Don't you believe me?" Saigo was a little anxious, and he had to be a little helpless.
Still no one spoke.
"War and peace, no matter what you think, please say it clearly!" Saigo's voice changed tone, similar to the cry of pleading.
"Is there a difference?" Maori finally spoke, but his attitude was still as cold as ice.
"What?"
"Is there a difference between war and peace? For us, it's a dead end. β
Maori's words made the atmosphere in the hall more solemn, and silence became the only tool for escaping reality and duty. Then, the five generals sat from the afternoon until the setting sun without saying a word.
"Let's eat." With this sentence, Saigo would never offend any of the attendees, finally breaking the almost suffocating silence in the hall that afternoon.
"Okay." Maori said coldly.
The five of them quickly dispersed.
The next day, Saigo, in his capacity as interim prime minister, signed an emergency mobilization order to recruit all men between the ages of 16 and 60 around Tokyo to participate in the defense of Tokyo. Before the mobilization order was issued, the 115,000-strong army of the group directly under the Allied Forces Headquarters had passed through the foot of the north and south of Mt. Fuji in two separate routes, and forced a flanking attack on Tokyo. The northern route was the Central Army of the Rebellion and the Mobile Corps under the command of Oka Zejing, with a total of 57,000 men; On the south road, the 1st and 2nd Janissaries Divisions and a number of independent direct subordinate units led by Ding Jieyun were 58,000 men.
By January 29, the North Route Corps of the cluster directly under the Allied Forces Headquarters had reached Hachioji west of Tokyo, and the South Route Corps was Yokohama and Shimokawasaki, and the 115,000-strong army was looking north to Tokyo across the Tama River. In addition, more than 10 warships were stationed in Tokyo Bay, and from time to time they fired artillery bombardment near the bay as a deterrent and deterrent.
On January 31, the defenders of the Yokosuka military port and fortress announced their surrender in a desperate situation surrounded on all sides, and five ruined warships that had been trapped in the harbor for a long time were taken over by the rebels. The reorganized Second Marine Regiment of the Qing Army was stationed in the port, and was originally prepared to use it as a base to accept and carry out amphibious landing operations around Tokyo Bay at any time, however, because of the relationship between Ding Jieyun, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, the Second Marine Regiment was destined to stay in the audience honestly in the Battle of Tokyo.
"The war is coming to an end, and all operational plans that pose a risk of heavy casualties are put on hold."
Ding Jieyun said so, naturally no one objected.
An order sent by the General Staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs caused a ripple among several high-ranking generals on the front line.
ββ¦β¦ The attack on Tokyo should be mainly carried out by the rebel army, and our troops should only be responsible for the initial fire support and the cover of the peripheral forces, and without the special approval of the General Staff Department, no troops under the armed forces of the Qing Empire should enter the urban area of Tokyo, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law and will never be amnestied. Chief of the General Staff of the Qing Empire's Armed Forces, Army General, Duke of Wuwei Liu Yun ......"
As soon as Wu Beinian, chief of staff of the coalition forces, spit out Liu Yun's cloud words, Major General Lu Zixiang, commander of the First Praetorian Guard Division, slapped the table: "Don't let us enter Tokyo?" What is this? How many of us died along the way? This is good, Liu Yun's words are in vain? β
Major General Liu Bailiang, commander of the Second Praetorian Guard Division, also said: "I finally hit here, and suddenly said that I was not allowed to enter the city, which hurt everyone's feelings too much." β
Ding Jieyun didn't say anything immediately, he got up from the pine chair carved with simple patterns, first walked to Wu Beinian to ask for the telegram paper with the order written, read it carefully, and then silently approached Lu Zixiang and Liu Bailiang, gently held the shoulders of the two and shook them twice.
"I know what you're thinking," Ding Jieyun's voice contained the omniscient and omnipotent omnipotence of the savior, "When you see Tokyo, you think of Nanjing." β
"Commander, no one can forget Nanjing!" Lu Zixiang suddenly highlighted his usual impulsiveness.
"Yes," Ding Jieyun bit his lip and nodded, "Even Chinese can't forget, but you should understand that the Nanjing Massacre only belongs to the world we came from, in the current world world, in this history that has been created by us, it has not happened, and it will never happen in the future!" β
"It's just going into the city, it's not going to work, it's too unwilling......"
Liu Bailiang was still expressing his dissatisfaction in a roundabout way.
Liu Bailiang smiled and shook his head: "You and Lu Zixiang, as well as the brigade commanders under your command, are all filled with the hatred brought by that world. Even if you intellectually understand the necessity of obeying military discipline, it is difficult to emotionally resist the temptation to enjoy the pleasure of revenge, so the best way is to keep you out of the door to prevent tragedy. If there were any more robbers and butchers, all the gains of our strict military discipline since our landing would have been sunk into the Pacific Ocean. β
"We've become wolves...... Mr. Lu muttered.
"It's good to parade the soldiers on the streets of Tokyo and show off the majesty of the imperial soldiers." Liu Bailiang still has opinions.
Ding Jieyun made a gesture to Wu Beinian, let go of Lu and Liu's shoulders and walked aside, Wu Beinian approached the two young major generals and explained: "Chief of Staff Liu gave this order mainly for political considerations. When our army entered Japan, it was under the banner of helping Tadaya eradicate the rebels, and nominally only assisted Prince Arisugawa's rebel army to clear out the rebels. Now that the general situation has been decided and the rebels will be destroyed, it can be said that it is the wisest decision for our army not to enter Tokyo in consideration of the inclusion of Japan in the imperial strategic structure after the war, and in order to appease the Japanese people and to help Prince Arisugawa's pro-Chinese government to rule over all of Japan. β
Lu Zixiang and Liu Bailiang were silent, their faces were reluctant, and since then, until they returned to China, they never mentioned to Ding Jieyun about bringing troops into Tokyo.
Sending away two unhappy subordinates, Ding Jieyun called Wu Beinian: "My chief of staff, Liu Yun's order should have other meanings, you seem to have omitted something from them just now?" β
Wu Beinian smiled and pointed at Ding Jieyun: "I can't escape your eyes, I have lived in vain for more than 20 years." β
"Forget it, I won't let you live in vain, say, what kind of calculation does Liu Yun have."
"You knowingly ask......"
"Less going around in circles."
"Well, it's mainly a domestic issue...... The government is ready to implement land reform throughout the country, buy land from landlords at low prices, and then distribute the land to landless peasants in the form of land loans to be repaid in installments, but this is only one aspice. On the other hand, a considerable part of the acquired land will be used as land for state farms and agricultural companies, and the advanced management methods of scale, mechanization and marketization will be implemented, and the prospects for profit are very large. These national industries said that they were going to play an exemplary role, and after the operation was perfected, they would openly sell their shares to the public, but in fact, they ......" Wu Beinian paused for a moment and looked around vigilantly.
Ding Jieyun slowly sat down in the chair: "Go on." β
"In effect, Liu Yun would manipulate the emperor and his cabinet into issuing decrees that would give away or sell off most of the shares in these properties to high-ranking officials in his own system, including the current cabinet ministers, vice-ministers, and officers he trusted." When Wu Beinian said this, he reflexively glanced at the hidden pine doors and windows.
Ding Jieyun pondered for a long time, he closed his eyes, but instead saw a shining white light, what does that white light represent? Wish? Opportunity? Weapons? Or poison?
"Where did you hear that?" Ding Jieyun asked pretending to be serious.
"Last summer, before I was summoned to North Korea, Ma Chengwu of the Logistics Department told me in private, saying that apart from a few chiefs of the General Staff and a few civilian officials in the cabinet, not many people knew about it, and told me not to tell anyone......
Wu Beinian also sat down, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, or regret, out of admiration for Ding Jieyun, he confided in this sensitive secret, is the result a blessing or a curse?
Ding Jieyun's keen intuition immediately sensed Wu Beinian's apprehension, and he decided to conquer Wu Beinian more completely with a clear statement: "If it is really as you say, I can only say that this is corruption, a robbery in the cloak of greatness, and a manifestation of the corruption and degeneration of the leader we once revered!" I, Ding Jieyun, swear to fight to the end for this despicable and shameless thing! β
"But......" Wu Beinian swallowed, "...... Liu Yunhe...... It seems that Ma Chengwu is saying that neither Liu Yun nor Wen Yi intends to receive any shares...... Those shares, also have our share......"
Ding Jieyun got up and walked to Wu Beinian, and looked at Wu Beinian with a chilling gaze: "Are you going to accept it?" Accept those dirty interests? Do you know the truth? Liu Yun wants to buy people's hearts with money, he no longer believes in his own beliefs, and he no longer believes in us, he can buy us today, and tomorrow he will sell us as cheaply as if he were dealing with goods, or, at all, throw us away as garbage! β
For a moment, Wu Beinian thought that what was standing in front of him was a god.
"Commander Ding, I didn't look away, you are not mortal......"
Ding Jieyun shook his head: "I am not only a prisoner, but also an idiot, although I am stupid, but I am not stupid." I can't do things that violate my conscience, I really can't stand it, I can't scare me when I see God and kill God, I kill ghosts when I see ghosts, and I die! β
Wu Beinian stretched out his palm and grabbed Ding Jieyun's wrist: "Commander Ding, if you have anything to tell you in the future, even if I don't want my head, I Wu Beinian will never give up!" β
Ding Jieyun slapped the back of Wu Beinian's hand with a palm: "Comrade." β
Wu Beinian nodded excitedly: "Comrade, comrade ......"
Ding Jieyun suddenly thought of something, and patted Wu Beinian's arm again: "By the way, what is the relationship between the land reform you said and Liu Yun's order this time?" β
Wu Beinian smiled: "I just listened to your generous statement, and forgot to make it clear, in fact, this is just my speculation......"
"Tell me about ......"
Presumably anticipating that the land reform would be resisted by the gentry and landlords, Liu Yun wanted to send troops to the interior to support the development of the land reform with the backing of force. Therefore, Liu Yun must hope that we will withdraw from Japan as soon as possible, return to China to stabilize the situation, and deter possible resistance. Therefore, we should not be too involved in the Tokyo Battle, so that we can quickly board the ships and return home in formation. β
Ding Jieyun pointed to the armrest of the chair: "It makes sense, after returning to China, it is very likely that part of the army will be dismantled and stationed, stationed in the big cities of the provinces, and at the same time completely eliminate the reform army, form a new Praetorian Guard or National Defense Army division, and then, demarcate the military region, and assign we, the so-called descendant generals, to each military region as the leader...... That's why we try to buy people's hearts with state property, so as to prevent dissent among us because the demands of our interests cannot be metβwhat kind of people does Liu Yun see us! β
Wu Beinian wanted to say that in fact, Liu Yun's doing this was nothing-at least he still wanted to work for the benefit of his brothers, but when he saw Ding Jieyun's righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, Wu Beinian couldn't help but scold himself in his heart again, bastard-wasn't he the kind of person who couldn't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes? When it comes to important issues, they are full of fancy intestines and make cheap mistakes!
"That's it, what do you think of us, Liu Yun, I'm looking away." Wu Beinian said.
"Report!" There was a shout from the guards outside the door, and Ding Jieyun had to suspend the sublimation of the friendship between him and Wu Beinian, and returned to his chair to answer: "What's the matter?" β
"Kiyota, the liaison officer of the rebel army, asked for an audience from Jiang Zhongzuo, saying that there was an urgent military briefing."
"Ask him to come in."
"Yes!"
The door opened, and Qing Tian walked in from Jiang wearing a black tweed Praetorian Guard coat and saluted Ding Jieyun and Wu Beinian in turn.
"You may be seated." Ding Jieyun said.
Kiyota put his coat on the wooden shelf by the door, walked to Ding Jieyun and sat down.
Ding Jieyun called the guards for tea, and then turned to Qingtian and said, "What situation is so important, bother Qingtian Zhongzuo to run in person?" β
Qing Tian bent forward slightly: "It is my duty to liaise and coordinate with the high-level of your army, and I have come to disturb this time, and I really have an important situation to tell Commander Ding in person." β
Ding Jieyun watched the guards bring tea and raised his hand to Qingtian: "Don't worry, please drink tea first." β
Kiyota picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and after doing his best of etiquette, he put down the teacup and turned to the topic: "I have an old acquaintance in Tokyo, named Mito Hiramatsu, who is a knowledgeable person. Long before I set out on the expedition, this person had predicted that Japan would definitely lose if it challenged the Qing Dynasty, and now it is not surprising. This person also predicted that China and Japan must cooperate and form an alliance so that they can rely on each other and jointly resist the great powers......"
"There are still sober people in Japan......
"Yes," Kiyota nodded respectfully, "This person has a lot of influence in Tokyo's academic and business circles, and he is even more close to Major General Yamane Nobunari, the commander of the Second Guards Brigade. Not long ago, I sent a secret envoy to contact Mr. Mito, and he received a letter from him, saying that the military government ruled tyranny, imposed exorbitant taxes to supplement military expenses, and also indiscriminately arrested and killed virtuous and virtuous people for the crime of treason against the country, and connived at robbery* by officers and soldiers, and the people suffered unspeakably. In addition, the leaders of the military junta put the emperor under house arrest and issued an edict on their behalf, and did not allow the leaders of the militia groups and most of the high-ranking generals to meet the emperor in person. After the Battle of Sekigahara, the military government was no longer able to return to heaven, and the hearts of the people inside and outside Tokyo were fluctuating, and most of the military and civilians did not want to die with the military government.
"Of course, I expected it to ......be like this," Ding Jieyun interjected.
Kiyota politely "encouraged" and continued: "Major General Yamane intends to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and Kiyojun flanks to welcome the emperor's army, but he has quite concerns, one is that during the coup d'Γ©tat last year, the Second Guards Brigade led by Major General Yamane played a key role, and Major General Yamane was worried that the new government would take advantage of this to liquidate himself in the future; The second is that the junta has many eyes and ears, and Major General Yamane is worried that if he does not respond easily, he will probably be killed by thieves first......"
"Major General Yamane's concerns, we can completely solve them." Kiyota said.
"That's right, in the last of the worst, the blood of the Chinese and Japanese soldiers and civilians should not be wasted, as long as Major General Yamane can make trouble, my Qing Empire will definitely meet all his reasonable demands!" Ding Jieyun said, his heart is shouting that today's luck is really wonderful, God bless, Amitabha, long live Allah......
"Our new government also deserves a great reward and thanks to him, as for the external response agreed by Major General Yamane......" Kiyota glanced at Ding Jieyun cautiously.
Ding Jieyun thought to himself, what to look at, like asking for food, but still said with a calm face: "Let you take full control of the rebel army, and I bother you to tell General Okazawa that our Praetorian Guard has no intention of entering Tokyo, and is only ready to provide peripheral support for your army." In the near future, the main force of the Japanese army sent by the Qing Empire will also return to China for rest and recuperation, and our country will abide by the treaty signed with the new government of your country and provide as much convenience as possible for Sino-Japanese friendship and cooperation. β
"Aren't the other armies of your country entering Tokyo either?" Kiyota couldn't believe his ears.
"Except for the embassy guards, there will not be any of our regular troops stationed in Tokyo."
Kiyota stood up, and Ding Jieyun bowed deeply: "The Japanese people will never forget the kindness of their mother country." β
Ding Jieyun listened awkwardly, and thought about it, but he was at ease, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, which have long been infiltrated by Chinese civilization, are surrounded by the periphery of China, and they are indeed like children being protected and nurtured by their mothers, and in turn guarding and respecting their mothers. Japan is a prodigal son who plays out of line, and when he grows up, he actually cuts his brother and sister with a knife, and wants to rob his mother's money and eat his mother's meat. But is the lesson finished? After all, it is his own child, and his mother does not want to kill him, so from now on, he will be disciplined well, and his wildness will be rubbed away, so that he can no longer harm others......
Thinking about it, Ding Jieyun almost laughed out loud - he is in his thirties, and he can actually make up fairy tales.
Fairy tales, but not jokes, sometimes, the world of fairy tales is more real than the real world, because in reality, it is often filled with countless high-sounding false words, so that many people can't see the truth clearly.
Ding Jieyun thinks that what he sees will always be clearer and more real than what others see, and he thinks that this is the privilege given to him by fate.
It's a pity that fate has no feelings.
On February 5, 1895, Major General Nobunari Yamane, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the rebel army, led his troops to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, arrested Provisional Prime Minister Saigo Shomichi and Lieutenant General Notsuji, chief of staff of the army, and booby-trapped the commander of the White Tiger Right Brigade, Hondo Rino, and took control of the situation in the city of Tokyo. The headquarters of the 1st Division, which was stationed on the front line on the north bank of the Tama River, was attacked from inside and outside, and its division commander, Lieutenant General Mori Komoto, led his personal guards to resist desperately and stubbornly, and died under the indiscriminate artillery bombardment.
The next day, Lieutenant General Seiki Okazawa, commander-in-chief of the rebel army, led an army of 50,000 troops into the city of Tokyo, and he was joined by Lieutenant General Ding Jieyun, commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Behind Ding Jieyun, a small group of cavalry of the Great Qing Empire's Praetorian Guard in black clothes and black boots could be seen marching in front of the rebel infantry wearing white leggings - this can be regarded as the result of the special approval of the Imperial General Staff.
The eighteen-petaled ju-fi flag of the Japanese imperial family and the golden dragon battle flag of the Qing Empire flutter from the banks of Shinagawa to the top of Akasaka, past the gate of the Prime Minister's Palace, past the Diet Building, and in front of the gate of the Imperial Palace.
On both sides of the "official street", crowded with citizens shaking the Rising Sun Flag and the Golden Dragon Flag, Ding Jieyun and the 30 lucky Praetorian Cavalry enjoyed the reception ceremony of the victor comfortably, and witnessed the touching scene of Emperor Meiji holding Prince Arisugawa and crying bitterly.
At the same time, a group of Imperial Guard officers gathered in a large hotel in Kawasaki, drank and ate, and summoned dozens of high-class geishas, but they were not allowed to play and sing and perform traditional Japanese dances, but only forced each of them to wash off the white powder on their faces, take off their coats, and drink with the officers.
"It's disgusting, they're all beasts." Liu Bailiang leaned on the door of the hall and said to Lu Zixiang.
Lu Zixiang took a cigarette and smiled indifferently: "Liu Yun didn't let us enter Tokyo, and he didn't say that he wouldn't let us have fun, everyone had been fighting for more than half a year, and they were all suffocated, and it was not a big deal to relax." β
Liu Bailiang shook his thumb at the clothes all over the hall and the naked people on the table: "Just have fun, is there such a mess?" Lu Zixiang took a puff of cigarette: "Brother, everyone is a man, a good comrade-in-arms, what is there to avoid, I told the boss here, we have all covered this hotel, as long as we don't kill anyone, we can do whatever we want." β
Liu Bailiang rubbed his neck: "I'm leaving." β
"Not coming to play?" Lu Zixiang spat out a few small smoke rings.
"I'm not interested, none of the women in it can look at it."
"Which type you want, I'll send someone to find it for you."
"I want the Japanese emperor and his mother, you can help me find it!"
", it's inhuman!" Lu Zixiang scolded, took out the cigarette in his mouth and threw it at the ceiling.
When the orange cigarette butt touched the hard pine ceiling, it emitted a circle of starlight before destruction, and a few bits of ash flew down, leaving a trace of green smoke, and the soulless cigarette holder fell softly. floor, temporarily contained it.
