Chapter 41: Robbery
This year, there were a number of incidents in which North Koreans provoked and stirred up trouble.
For example, a man named Hao Yongde defrauded 12 peasant households in Wanbaoshan Village of land and subleased it to 188 North Koreans to grow rice.
At this time, the Japanese consul in Changchun sent Japanese police to prevent the Koreans from withdrawing and ordered the construction of the canal to be completed within a limited time. The North Koreans had the backing and became even more arrogant, and continued to build dams to intercept the flow, and the peasants at the Majia whistle gate were furious and destroyed the canal dam, and the Japanese police shot and killed and injured dozens of peasants in the name of protecting the Korean nationals.
After that, he distorted the truth and incited anti-China sentiment in various parts of the DPRK, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries among overseas Chinese in the DPRK and countless property losses. Under the pretext of protecting the Japanese and North Korean expatriates in China, the Japanese army wantonly increased its troops in the northeast.
In addition, two Japanese officers were doing military investigations in the area of Xing'an Mountains, and were discovered and detained by the Northeast Army, and under the conclusive evidence, Guan Yuheng, the commander of the Third Regiment of the Xing'an Reclamation Regiment of the Northeast Army, ordered the secret execution of the captured Japanese army Captain Nakamura, and the Japanese army took the opportunity to claim that the Northeast Army was murdering for money and coerced China to hand over Guan Yuheng.
It's one thing to know history, it's another thing to experience history firsthand. Shen Mengxi has always been in a state of anger recently, she understands the character of the Northeast people, it is absolutely impossible to endure bullying, from the judgment of the Jilin Provincial Government, and Guan Yuheng's order can be seen the governing style of the Northeast people, but Zhang Hanqing, who personally commanded 80,000 horses stationed in the Central Plains, did not play a decisive role in the melee in the Central Plains, and in the face of the provocation of the Japanese army in the Wanbaoshan Incident and the Nakamura Incident, he still fished and telegraphed the Northeast Army, "strive to be cautious", "must be patient", "not to resist it".
Shen Mengxi sat on the futon in the study at noon and meditated, she wanted to let herself meditate.
She had already learned from Zhang Jiaguang's letter that the foreign minister of the Nationalist Government had secretly visited Japan, expressed his willingness to use the rights and interests of Northeast China to win arms from the Japanese side, and met with the Soviet ambassador to Japan to seek support, but he was refused.
Just now, Zhang Jiajiao called again and strictly ordered her to return to Shanghai within three days. Shen Mengxi agreed again and again, and immediately went to buy a ticket. She knew that the war was going to happen in September, so she was not in a hurry.
After consulting with Lin Huiya and Professor Peng, they bought tickets to Beijing on July 5.
Shen Mengxi received all his personal belongings to the Wuling space, and restored the room to the way it was when he moved in,—— he didn't plan to return next semester.
The Liang family and the Peng family also seem to have this plan, but no one has said it tacitly. Slippery Chinese, even if they are disappointed in one thing or another, they will moderately retain decency, Shen Mengxi went straight to the Marshal's Mansion like this and spoke bluntly is considered reckless, the Chinese people are used to saying only three points when people meet, when Shen Mengxi wants to say, at least seven and a half points, this is the character of the deep soul, and the two and a half points hidden are gradually learned in the past ten years.
On June 26th, Zhang Jiaxuan called again, angrily scolded Shen Mengxi, why did he not return to Shanghai, Shen Mengxi was on vacation immediately, and he could go back immediately, Zhang Jiaxuan was so angry that he knew better than anyone that the national government had frequent wars in recent years, many encirclements and suppressions, coupled with various construction undertakings, the treasury was empty, the financial deficit, and recently frequently sent people to negotiate secretly with Japan, although he did not know the specific situation, but his sister was no longer suitable to stay in the Northeast for a long time.
"Professor, don't want it! Come back to my bank job! Zhang Jiaxuan hoarsely voiced, "Do you want me to go to Shenyang to arrest you back!" ”
Shen Mengxi was frightened and stumbled and promised to leave immediately.
She hurriedly went to the train station to buy a ticket, but only bought a ticket for the morning of 29. came back to call Zhang Jiaxuan, Zhang Jiaxuan sighed, "Okay, be careful yourself." ”
Shen Mengxi still quietly told Lin Huiya about going back to Shanghai in advance, Lin Huiya blinked, understood it wisely, and said with a smile: "Our course has ended early, and the papers have come out, so there is really no need to mark the papers here, I also want to go back to Beijing as soon as possible." ”
On the 28th, Shen Mengxi walked around the Shenyang Forbidden City, and the book said that the Japanese army did not destroy the Forbidden City, because in their hearts, this was already their own thing, and they had to work hard to protect the cultural relics.
Shen Mengxi scoffed.
I slept until midnight that night, the phone rang urgently, Shen Mengxi went downstairs to answer the phone, Zhang Jiaxuan said angrily: "The Japanese army bombarded the South Manchurian Railway and launched a war!" You immediately go to the train station! No matter what kind of car, as long as it is heading south, get in the car immediately! ”
Shen Mengxi broke out in a cold sweat, and ninety-one-eight became six-two-eight?
Putting down the phone, she stood in the living room for a full two minutes. He quickly changed into black clothes and pants, put on a hat, and called Professor Peng, asking him to tell other teachers and students to evacuate Shenyang.
Go out and take out an electric motorcycle from the Wuling space and ride towards the Dashuai Mansion.
There is still a mile away from the Marshal's Mansion, she put away the motorcycle, quietly walked towards the Marshal's Mansion, to the door, there was a noisy footstep inside, she hid in the shadows, only to see the door open, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly took a few sleepy-eyed children and a few subordinates hurriedly boarded the three cars, the two adjutants behind carried four suitcases, loaded into the car, a team of soldiers and followed the running escort away.
Ten minutes passed, the Dashuai Mansion was silent, Shen Mengxi detoured to the back wall, took out the ladder, climbed the wall, drew the ladder again, put it in the wall, and climbed down.
Hehe, this is an abandoned city.
Shen Mengxi kicked a stone under her feet, making a snapping sound, and she waited for another ten minutes, but there was still no sound.
Following the memory of the last time, Shen Mengxi came to Zhang Hanqing's study, put on a night vision device, and quietly searched.
You asked Shen Mengxi what he was doing when he didn't go to the train station at this time and went to the Marshal's Mansion?
Of course, it was for Zhang Hanqing's gold, and it only took two minutes for Shen Mengxi to decide that he must come to the Marshal's Mansion and take his gold, and never leave it to the Japanese army. Mrs. Zhang fled in a hurry, and the four heavy suitcases were definitely not all of Zhang Hanqing's property.
Shen Mengxi put all the documents in Zhang Hanqing's office into the Wuling space, and found two pistols and some bullets in the desk.
Go upstairs to find Zhang Hanqing's bedroom, in the depths of the wardrobe, find the secret door, look inside, gasp, only to see that it is full of dense gold bars, she holds one, it is estimated that there are more than three catties, according to the old example, it should be 32 taels that is two catties, and countless gold bars are put into the space. Shen Mengxi actually felt tired.
Mrs. Zhang's bedroom is basically nothing, she returned to Zhang Hanqing's office, the sky has gradually brightened, Shen Mengxi is secretly anxious, she knocked on the ground, and finally found a floor tile, uncovered the carpet, and struggled to open it, it was indeed a tunnel inside, she turned around and locked the office, put on a mask to inhale oxygen, and went down the tunnel without hesitation, the stairs spiraled down, suddenly brightened, Shen Mengxi turned on the flashlight, slightly estimated that there were about hundreds of boxes, and looked through a few, all of them were gold bars wrapped in red silk,—— How much Zhang Dashuai's father and son love gold! In the larger box were antique calligraphy and paintings, and before he could take a closer look, Shen Mengxi quickly received everything into the space, and did not look for it anymore, restored the floor tiles, covered them with carpets, and left the same way as quickly as possible.
She didn't patronize the big green building, the small green building, and the Miss Zhao Si building across the courtyard, and passed by the garage and put Zhang Hanqing's two cars into the space.
Shen Mengxi wondered in her heart, what were the four boxes of things that Mrs. Zhang took away, she seemed to have only taken her own things, could it be that she didn't know the existence of the secret vault? I didn't have time to think about it, I jumped over the wall and was discharged from the hospital, it was already the first dawn, and the street was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.
The people are always the last to know the truth.
It won't be long before the Japanese army will capture the city of Shenyang, and there will be no defenders in the city, which is given away for nothing.
Shen Mengxi rode a motorcycle and went straight to the arsenal, and saw seven or eight cars leaving with a full load from a distance, and then the defenders also quickly withdrew. Shen Mengxi was unwilling to sneak into the factory after they left.
There was nothing left for guns and ammunition, and Shen Mengxi simply took away all the raw materials such as iron and copper, as well as the machines and gunpowder that he could take. He also took away the two barrels of gasoline in the backyard and the food in the canteen.
Shen Mengxi went to the provincial library again, and the old man who guarded the door was very vigilant and did not allow Shen Mengxi to enter, "It's not time to go to work yet, you can come back in two hours!" After saying that, he looked at her dress and motorcycle vigilantly.
"Let's tell the truth, the Japanese army blew up the railway last night, attacked the Northeast Army, and will soon attack Shenyang City, I came to get the part of the document about the Japanese army's war of aggression against China!"
The old man was skeptical, "You don't have a warrant, I can't let you in!" ”
Shen Mengxi didn't know where those documents were stored, and he didn't want to entangle with the old man more, "You go home quickly and run away with your family." The Japanese do not destroy books, except for the evidence of their crimes. ...... Don't resist them.
After saying this, she suddenly more or less realized Zhang Hanqing's mood.
It takes courage to do it knowing that it cannot be done.
With a long sigh, there is only a limit to what one person can do, and he stepped on the motorcycle and went straight to the train station.
Along the way, many private cars drove out of the city, and some people drove mule carts and carts and carts to run out, and it seemed that the news finally spread, and people began to flee Shenyang.
The train station was crowded, and people who got the news flocked here to get out of Shenyang quickly. Shen Mengxi's ticket departed at ten o'clock in the morning, she was secretly annoyed, why did she always believe that things would always develop according to the historical trajectory, now that the incident happened in advance, she was very likely to be stranded in Shenyang.
She turned the head of the car and prepared to ride a motorcycle out of the city, but who knows, at this time, the battery car ran out of power, so she had to push away, ready to find a place where no one was, collected the motorcycle, and then took out the car and drove away.
I don't know what happened to the teachers and students of Dongda, Shen Mengxi had only one thought at that time, which was to get the gold, and he couldn't take care of anything else. Watching the crowd surge, people being trampled on, screaming, children crying in horror, women screaming as if it were the end of the century.
She decided to drive out of the city, not knowing the way, and following another car. She casually threw the motorcycle away and walked out.
"Miss Zhang!" She heard someone shouting anxiously.
