191 [Assassination]
On this day, in the Japanese Consulate in Mukden, Ono Taro and Hiroyuki Kawamoto sat opposite each other, plotting a big thing.
"Kawamoto-kun, Prince Zaihito has been on an envoy to Russia and is about to return to China recently. Among them, Fengtian is the only way, and Zhang Dashuai must go to Fengtian Station to greet and see him off. Ono Taro said lightly, but his tone was unconsciously mixed with two joys.
Hiroyuki Kawamoto was so smart that he immediately understood, "Oh, this is a great opportunity!" ”
Prince Zaihito is the younger brother of the Emperor of Japan and has a noble position. And Zhang was able to control Mukden, which was inseparable from the support of the Japanese all the time, and in the face of such a figure, it must be necessary to go to the station to greet and see him off.
The Cabinet Minister gave him the order back in March, and now it's late May. This is not to say that they are derelict in their duties, they are more anxious than anyone else.
But all along, Zhang Dashuai has not left them too good opportunities. The guards who traveled were very well protected, and he himself had been working in the military for a long time, so opportunities were even rarer.
It was really the first time they had taken such a good opportunity.
Hiroyuki Kawamoto also asked greedily: "Ono-kun, the second on our assassination list, what about Yuan Pengfei, will he also go to greet and send him off?" ”
He wanted to get rid of Yuan Pengfei together, there was no person who could preside over the overall situation, Fengtian City would be leaderless, and it would be easy for the people of the Zongshe Party to directly lead troops in.
Normally, as Yuan Pengfei, there is no need to greet and send him off, and if he stays in the mansion, there is no way to talk about assassination.
Ono Taro lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Kawamoto-kun, I'll find a way here, and let him go with Zhang Dashuai as much as possible." And the task of assassination and the independence movement of the Sosha Party are entrusted to Kawamoto-kun. ”
"Yes, please." Hiroyuki Kawamoto bowed his head and saluted.
Ono Taro is a Huaxia expert, and he has been coming to Fengtian for several years, so he naturally has met a lot of friends, and these people are all guests of Zhang Dashuai.
Under his pure and good temptation, Tang Yulu, the commander of the provincial city's secret agents, unknowingly fell into the trap.
In the early morning of the 27th, Zhang Dashuai ordered him to prepare five luxurious Russian-style carriages to ride, which was used to show the importance he attached to welcoming and seeing off Prince Zairen.
Tang Yulu was like a demon, and suggested: "Dashuai, it's better to bring Yuan Pengfei!" Ono, the Japanese envoy, once said that Prince Zaihito attaches great importance to big businessmen, maybe they can talk! ”
Zhang Dashuai had never heard of this kind of thing, and thought that Prince Zairen was really like this, so he agreed without thinking.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Yuan Pengfei stood beside Zhang Dashuai blankly, looking at the so-called superior Prince Zairen, and didn't know why he came here?
Can he also be handsome as a platoon?
The train refueled with water and coal, and set off again with a beeping whistle.
Seeing off the distinguished guest, Zhang Dashuai pulled him into the carriage at the back, and muttered: "Didn't you say that this Prince Zairen attaches great importance to big businessmen, why didn't you mention it again." ”
Only then did Yuan Pengfei know why he came, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
Japan's small country lacks resources, and some important businesses have long been held tightly by major consortia, and there is nothing to do in domestic business.
What really matters is import and export, get the raw materials back, and then process them into industrial products to make a good profit.
Now that the European war is raging, two-thirds of the world's industrial producing countries are caught in the flames, a large number of markets need to be seized, and there is no problem of competitors at all.
All the capitalists are making a fortune one by one by increasing their production at full speed, desperately transporting industrial products to Europe, and then pulling back the money in the whole ship.
His identity as a deep-sea giant crocodile has not been revealed, but his identity on the surface, the younger brother of the Japanese emperor, can he condescend to tell him something bullshit?
They are also influenced by Huaxia, and Prince Zairen has a relationship with Lao Zhang Lala, and it is the right way to talk about some things that politicians are concerned about.
Under the protection of the guards, five luxurious Russian-style carriages slowly advanced towards the Grand Marshal's Mansion. But when they walked to Xiaoximen Street, a pair of wolf-like fierce eyes poked out of the window of a house facing the street.
Oshima Yakumo, a former captain of the Japanese army, participated in the Russo-Japanese War and was also a long-trained backbone of the army, and retired after the war.
Hiroyuki Kawamoto gathered many retired military personnel in the Manchurian Railway annex. Oshima Yakumo has a high position, and his bushido background is particularly valued by him.
This time, he will be the main attacker, and whether he succeeds or not, his life will be difficult to save.
Oshima Yakumo is really not afraid of death, his eyes are fixed on the most magnificent official who walked in front, and he silently muttered in his heart to dedicate himself to His Majesty the Emperor.
When it came to the best and right distance to drop the bomb, the bomb in his hand flew out accurately. In an instant, Xiaoximen Street was filled with gunsmoke and chaos.
Tang Yulu was killed on the spot, and five or six of the guards who were guarding him were killed.
And Zhang Dashuai sat in the back carriage and escaped. His mind was particularly nimble, and knowing that things were changing, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, jumped on horseback, exchanged shirts with the guards at great speed, and prepared to retreat.
Yuan Pengfei is not a fool, he knows who planted the bomb in Huanggutun, and he can't count who did it?
In his cognition, it was normal for Lao Zhang to be assassinated, and the enemy must have stared at him deadly.
Licking his face and walking with Lao Zhang, it is equivalent to the supporting role playing to the protagonist's side, the protagonist can always escape death with the protection of the halo, of course, the only one who suffers is the supporting role, he is not so stupid.
"Father-in-law, I will take people back to the Marshal's Mansion to attract their attention, and you take people back to the General's Office, take care of everything."
Yuan Pengfei solemnly put down a sentence, ordered two guards, and picked up a box cannon from the alley behind the small west gate, and made a detour through the big west gate to run back to the marshal's mansion.
Don't look at what he said beautifully, in fact, he just listened. Which commander stood with hundreds of guards staring at him, and let the two guards protect him?
Assassins aren't that stupid, are they?
But this is really not accurate, don't overestimate the brain capacity of assassins, in this tense moment of life and death, even after professional training, there are few brains that do not rust.
When Yuan Pengfei passed by the gate of Fengtian University, a person suddenly ran out of the gatehouse and threw a bomb at him.
There was no shelter on the street, and Yuan Pengfei was frightened, but he was reluctant to use his life-saving skills, so he hurriedly leaned over and rushed over at an accelerated pace.
"Boom!"
A roaring explosion sounded, accompanied by two screams, and Yuan Pengfei knew that the two guards had already been reimbursed.
Although he was lucky not to be directly bombed, he didn't feel much better, his hat was blown away by the air wave, and his left arm was cut a foot-long cut by the bomb fragment, and it directly became a blood gourd.
The Assassin, who had no bomb, didn't want to let him go, so he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at his back to shoot.
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
How could Yuan Pengfei be the kind of person who didn't fight back when he was beaten?
The bloody hand pulled the reins of the horse, gritted his teeth and pulled it back, and the box cannon was powerful.
"Bang Bang!"
The assassin did not expect him to return fire, and without the consciousness of dodging, he fell to the ground with all three shots.
Yuan Pengfei didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he drove the horse to continue to hurry, and when he returned to the Marshal's Mansion a moment later, the horse fell directly to the ground, and it didn't seem to be alive.
This is not the time to sigh at all, he can't take a break, he ordered the guards to protect the marshal's mansion, bandaged it briefly, and then led people to the general's office.
What is the situation of Zhang Dashuai and how to deal with it in the future, this is a matter of urgency.
However, it was said that Zhang Dashuai changed into the guard's shirt, and after seeing Yuan Pengfei leave, under the protection of the surrounding horse teams, he did not dare to take the avenue, and returned to the general's office around the alley.
But who knows how many assassins the Japanese had arranged?
When Zhang Dashuai galloped past the Fengtian Library on horseback, a man suddenly ran out of the library and threw a bomb at him.
Due to Zhang Dashuai's flying horse galloping, the bomb exploded behind him, and the air wave only blew away his hat, and the person was safe and sound.
The assassin was even more unlucky, as he was hit by shrapnel from a bomb he threw out, and rolled in the street with a scream before dying.
It's a pity that the guards guarding his side don't have a chance to show themselves.
However, when Zhang Dashuai rushed back to the general's office, his horse was already covered in sweat, its hind legs were bleeding, and the horse's stomach was also injured.
Seeing this situation, the doorman knew that something was wrong, and quickly led someone to set up a machine gun at the door. The guards were also urgently summoned, and the entire general's office was on alert as if facing a great enemy.
Zhang Dashuai began to scold his mother again: "Damn, this must have been done by Little Japan, no one dares to be so arrogant except them." ”
He was now holding back the fire in his heart, and he already knew the news that Tang Yulu was killed. If it weren't for the fact that this assassin didn't know him, and now he was lying there with a corpse, it was very likely that he was Zhang Dashuai.
Thinking about the bomb that passed by, if it weren't for the fact that the horse he sat on was a good horse and ran fast enough, he wouldn't be standing here unharmed and furious.
After walking in front of death, he was going crazy.
Zhang Zuoxiang stood aside and watched him get angry quietly, he knew that persuasion for this kind of thing would not work, others would not understand the mood of the person concerned, and only vented it.
A moment later, there was one more listening. Yuan Pengfei had a calm face, stood at the door without saying a word, and held back a fire in his heart. But his anger can't be vented with a few scolding.
If you dare to attack him, you will have to pay for it with blood.
He had just stood still for a few minutes when the guards came in and reported: "The captain of the Japanese railway garrison and the Japanese consul general in Feng have come to express their condolences. ”
The condolences are fake, the listening is real, and the Japanese want to see the effect of this bombing.
Zhang Dashuai also knew in his heart, and said to Ono Taro, the consul general in Fengtian: "Hmph, someone beat me Zhang Zuolin's idea, it's not so easy!" ”
Ono Taro saw that he looked calm, and said something he didn't believe in himself, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.
Seeing Yuan Pengfei who was injured and had a calm face on the side, he also greeted him with a smile, and he couldn't see that he wanted to put Yuan Pengfei to death.
But when the Japanese left, Zhang Dashuai scolded the Japanese again.
They waited silently for news, and the agents of the General Administration examined the bodies of the three Assassins, and it took some effort but also made a significant discovery.
Although the three Assassins were dressed in the costumes of the common Chinese, their feet were clearly wearing clogs, which can be assumed to be Japanese.
When I got this news, everyone was not surprised, but I just verified my thoughts.
Don't look at Zhang Dashuai's scolding after closing the door, but because he was not fatally injured, and he was in the circle of influence of the Japanese, he didn't dare to hold him accountable, and said to his subordinates angrily: "Don't check, pull it down!" ”
He knew very well that since it was impossible to ask the Japanese for their crimes, it would only be a humiliation on oneself to pursue the matter.
Therefore, it is necessary to adopt an attitude of pretending not to know about this assassination incident and not to investigate it.
Moreover, this assassination incident taught Zhang Zuolin an important lesson, making him understand that he could not but guard against Japan, and it was very dangerous to be a puppet of the Japanese.
Lao Zhang used the life of a brigade commander to buy himself a lesson. He Yuan Pengfei didn't need to buy this lesson, he only knew that he couldn't let go of the Japanese who murdered him.
……
Taro Ono returned to the embassy, and the chagrin in his heart was indescribable.
What a chance to assassinate for the first time! That blind assassin, why didn't he recognize what Zhang Zuolin looked like, and missed the best opportunity!
And the two waves of assassins in the back, although they have tried their best, he is still not satisfied. If you arrange two more helpers, will you be able to kill both of them? Instead of one unharmed, one slightly slightly injured?
Therefore, after seeing Hiroshi Kawamoto, his attitude was unprecedentedly stern, and he reprimanded: "Kawamoto-kun, I am very disappointed by your clumsy performance, and the base camp will also be disappointed." ”
Hiroyuki Kawamoto is not a subordinate of Taro Ono, they belong to two different departments, and their status is roughly the same, just a partnership.
He wasn't afraid of Ono's reprimand, he just listened to him out of politeness. When his anger was finished, he explained the whole story of his assassination plan this time.
Originally, he had a good plan, the first assassin was the first to take the batter, preferably a bomb to send Zhang to the west.
It's just that I never thought that Zhang Dashuai was not the kind of person who liked to be in the limelight, and he sat in the fourth carriage. The assassin mistakenly hit the side car and hit Tang Yulu, who was in the limelight.
The guards of nearly 100 people were alarmed, and any further assassination would turn into a strong attack. And Zhang's escape was too fast, so the other two assassins who were placed on that street did not continue their movements.
The best opportunity was wasted.
And Kawamoto is too greedy, and he wants to prepare more thoroughly, and he will be in place at one time. He had many reliable men assigned to the army and bandits, preparing to attack Mukden City after the assassination was successful.
Therefore, there were not enough people to lead to the assassination, and on a few roads from the Grand Marshal's Mansion and the General's Office, he only arranged four assassins just in case.
It's just that unfortunately, Zhang Dashuai ran too fast, and only one unlucky assassin guarded him, and he blew himself up. And the Marshal's Mansion was counter-killed by Yuan Pengfei, and the assassination became a farce with no danger.
The two of them said that they were full of grief and indignation, and they could only look up to the sky and sigh: "It's not that we don't work hard, but it's really time for this guy's shit to be transported away." ”
