Chapter Twenty-Nine: Confrontation (Collection)
Shengyun once served as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and he was a feudal official of one side, and he still had some means, but now he is old and has become cowardly and mediocre. Sun Anhu They searched the warehouse where the arms were stored, carefully took out the bullets and guns, and found several huge wooden boxes in Zuihou, Sun Anhu carefully identified these wooden boxes, and immediately overjoyed, he hurriedly ordered someone to move out, and called Zhang Zuoxiang over.
When the wooden box was moved outside, they saw that it turned out that the wooden box contained two 75-mm Krupp mountain guns, but at this time they had been disassembled into parts. As the commander of the artillery regiment, Zhang Zuoxiang was very familiar with the Krupp gun, and in the early days, each division of the Beiyang descendant had an artillery regiment equipped with 54 guns, and its firepower surpassed all the troops in modern China.
Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division could not be compared with those descendants, and there were only eight Krupp guns in his artillery regiment, and due to their frequent use, the accuracy was no longer good.
Now these two cannons seem to be very new, they should not have been used, the ecstasy in Zhang Zuoxiang's heart is simply indescribable, just with these two cannons, today's action is worth it. He hurriedly asked Sun Anhu to check all the parts to see if there were any defects, and after confirming that they were in good condition, Zhang Zuoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Sun Anhu to take care of the two cannons, and when the search was over, he immediately sent them back to the barracks.
In fact, the original owner of these two cannons was the first town in Beiyang, and the Beiyang New Army in this town was mainly composed of Manchus, who were regarded as henchmen by the Manchus.
These two cannons were stolen from the arsenal of the first town by Seungyun with his own connections, and later quietly transported to Mukden and placed in the villa, and Seungyun also hoarded more than 200 shells, his purpose was very clear, that is, to find an opportunity to cause trouble in Mukden.
And this villa is not far from Mukden City, and with these two cannons, it can even raid the Governor's Palace, which is a great threat. So many munitions were found in the villa, which shows that the Zong Socialist Party has already used this place as an important base. Soon the soldiers opened another storeroom, which was full of flowers and things, and it was a little lively.
The soldiers moved out, and Zhang Zuoxiang saw that they were all dragon flags and yellow umbrellas, wearing flower feathers, court clothes and boots, etc., as well as a set of dragon robes, which were almost prepared for Pu Yi in the Forbidden City. In addition, there are a lot of blank holy decrees, the official seal is sandwiched in them, and after moving out, a lot of them are piled up, and some clothes are obviously changed with costumes, so it seems that these people regard the rebellion as a playhouse.
At this time, Zhang Tinglan also rushed over, he entered the villa, and he kept his energy on those documents, he just went to the warehouse in person, sorted out all the documents that Shanqi tried to destroy, and after a simple browsing, Zhang Tinglan was overjoyed.
Here is a list of members of the Zonasian Party; There are letters from them to and from the Japanese; There are accounts for hoarding supplies and buying arms; There are letters that are bribed from officials at all levels......
Everything is enough to make people frightened, there are such a group of people in the land of the Republic of China who are still trying to go against the grain and restore the Qing Dynasty, and what is even more surprising is that they have made so many preparations, and the government has not noticed it, nor has it stopped, it seems that Beiyang really does not understand people.
Without absolute control over the localities, don't think about any reforms, and don't think about enriching the country and strengthening the army. A relatively clean and efficient administrative system is of unparalleled value to the country, and the fact that the administrative system in Beiyang is not even aware of such a big hidden danger as the Zongshe Party shows what a failure it is.
Zhang Tinglan asked his subordinates to carefully search all the written materials, these are full of incriminating evidence, and he can completely rely on these things to set off a storm of public opinion and gain enough fame and benefits for the 27th Division. When he arrived at the back, he was dumbfounded when he saw the official uniforms of the Dragon Banner everywhere.
"Tinglan, these things look good, but when the rag doesn't absorb water, and it's too hard to wipe the buttocks, I think it's all burning."
"Don't, this is the most haode evidence, and the ambition of Shanqi Shengyun and others to restore the imperial system is obvious. When this thing is over, these things will be sent to the museum, which is definitely a good collection. ”
Zhang Tinglan hurriedly asked people to clean up, at this time, the soldiers had already checked the situation on the periphery, and began to focus on cleaning up Shengyun's study, and soon everyone had a major gain.
They found a hollowed-out wall, covered with calligraphy and paintings, and a large safe inside, Zhang Tinglan ordered the soldiers to torture Shengyun, and soon got the key to open the box. After opening it, it was full of all kinds of tickets, including Japanese yen, US dollars, and British pounds, which were definitely not less than 200,000 oceans.
After everyone saw so much money, their eyes emitted a wolf-like green light, Zhang Zuoxiang was worried that the soldiers would lose control, and immediately said to all the soldiers: "Brothers, all those who participate in the operation have a reward, if you see anyone who dares to hide something, after reporting it, what he hides belongs to you, and the share he deserves also belongs to you, but I don't want to receive this kind of report, do you understand?" ”
Facts have proved that Zhang Zuoxiang's order was issued in a very timely manner, at least so that all the soldiers came to their senses and were not blinded by money, and then found several huge wooden boxes under the bed, which were full of gold, silver, jewelry, and other things, and two boxes filled the ocean, which amounted to as many as fifty or sixty thousand yuan.
In a nearby room, more than thirty boxes of opium were found, and all of them were of the finest clouds, neatly listed aside, and they were allowed to hoard opium, of course, not for reselling it for profit, but for military supplies. From the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Republican period, many armies were double-spearmen, one rifle, one smoking gun, opium became the best weapon to boost morale, and Shengyun took great pains to restore their dreams, so they also hoarded a staggering amount of opium.
Zhang Zuoxiang ordered his subordinates to take out all these belongings and load them properly on the carriage. By the time they had almost picked up Seung-yun's villa, the sky was already white in the east, and they left Seung-yun's villa with the prisoners and belongings and hurried back to the barracks.
"Tinglan, Sheng Yun was known as an official back then, but today it's all nonsense, just the things we found in the villa are worth at least millions of oceans, and I don't know how much his entire family property is."
"Dad, you're right, these Manchu nobles are all from rich families." While speaking, Zhang Tinglan said shyly: "Why don't we grab a few more, and it is okay to get 10 million." ”
Zhang Zuoxiang was also stunned by the figure of 10 million for a while, how many guns and artillery can be bought and how many troops can be equipped, but he also knows that this kind of thing is unavoidable. He shook his head violently and said in a low voice: "Tinglan, don't think nonsense, you still have to think about how to get through the current pass, let's catch Shanqi and Shengyun, and then catch Kawashima Naniwa and Miki, maybe we have already alarmed the Japanese, then you have to deal with it carefully, don't be careless." ”
After Zhang Zuoxiang was talking, a dozen tall horses ran from the main road to the west, and because of their extreme speed, the horses' hooves kicked up the dust, and rushed straight towards their team.
Zhang Tinglan's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized the military uniforms of the people on the horse, these dozen people were Japanese soldiers, and Daddy's crow's mouth really came true, and sure enough, there were Japanese people looking for trouble.
After defeating the Russians, Japan also inherited Russia's aggressive interests, and had the right to garrison troops along the railway line. Seung-yun's villa was not far from the Japanese Manchurian Railway, and when they attacked, the Japanese had already been alarmed by the sound of heavy gunfire, but they did not know what was going on, and out of caution, they sent someone to reconnoitre, and it turned out that Chinese soldiers were attacking a manor.
The Japanese didn't care about it at first, but then they came to their senses, the manor was Seungyoon's villa, and Nishimura Osa and Kawashima Naniwa, who were in charge of managing the garrison, were good friends.
Nishimura Osa was very clear about the villa that Kawashima often mentioned, it was an important stronghold of the Sect and Socialist Party, Nishimura hurriedly contacted Kawashima, but the result was even worse that Kawashima also lost contact, Nishimura felt that something was wrong, he immediately asked his soldiers to assemble, and he personally chased after him with a dozen cavalry.
Sitting on top of the tall Toyo horse, Nishimura had already seen a team of nearly a thousand people in the distance, soldiers were driving away the prisoners, and dozens of carts, which were moving slowly, and he rushed over in a hurry.
"Zhanzhu, who are you?"
Although there were only a dozen people in Nishimura, he was not worried at all, and no matter how many sheep came could not threaten the safety of the lions, he rushed to the edge of the team with a high spirit, holding a horsewhip, and shouted loudly.
As soon as Zhang Zuoxiang saw that his crow's mouth had come true, he also knew that he had to face it calmly, and he also brought someone to greet him. Nishimura and Zhang Zuoxiang had met a few times, so he barely squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth: "General Zhang, what are you doing?" ”
"Nishimura Daisa, we have found a bandit stronghold, and we have just exterminated them, please forgive me for any disturbance."
Nishimura was naturally suspicious, and Miki, who was among the captives at this time, suddenly saw Nishimura coming, and he shouted loudly for Nishimura to rescue them.
As soon as Nishimura heard that a Japanese had been arrested, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Yaga, you dare to illegally arrest the citizens of Great Japan, you must release them immediately." As he spoke, Nishimura had already grabbed the saber in his hand, and his eyes were full of fierce light, staring at Zhang Zuoxiang like a wolf.
At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang would not flinch, he sneered: "Nishimura, won't the Japanese break the law?" We arrested thugs who were intent on endangering China. ”
"You're lying!" Nishimura pouted and waved his hand violently, more than a dozen Japanese cavalrymen raised their guns, and the muzzles were aimed at Zhang Zuoxiang and others, the number of people around Zhang Zuoxiang was more, Sun Anhu hurriedly ordered everyone to also raise their rifles, and confronted the Japanese, and in the direction of the Manchurian Iron Annex, there was a neat slogan, and three hundred well-equipped Japanese soldiers were quickly rushing to this side.
