Chapter 177 The calm torrent!
Just as Chiang Zhengzheng and his colleagues were discussing Zhang Zuolin's proposal for peace, Tu Qianjun was frowning and coldly watching a man beaten and bruised in Jinan Prison. The man's shirt and kus had been stripped of it into a light pig and locked in the dark and damp basement, looking at Tu Qianjun with unconscious eyes.
This is the most inconspicuous corner of Jinan Prison. It is different from the sunshine like a model prison outside, but it is dark and wet. Under the iron chain, the man's whip marks were all over his body and even his fingernails were pulled out! The blood was dripping, and the nail flesh looked weird and bloody in the dim sunlight! [..com]
"Kishimoshiro, graduated from the 15th phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. He became the director of the Qilu Intelligence Department of the North China garrison of Japan. He is mainly responsible for collecting, organizing and analyzing the traffic, military and resource information in the Qilu area." Tu Qianjun picked up a document on the table in front of Han itself, who was tied with scars all over his body, and read it softly. Then, Tu Qianjun put down the document and looked at Kishimoto with his eyes as a knife. He said ruthlessly: "Kishimoshiro, I believe you also know that since we can get these information, you can't hide anything from us. So I hope you can confess and believe me! In this way, you can die at least happily!"
The man opposite made a "grizz~" sound in his throat, but he didn't say a word. The face that was broken by the whip had a strange smile, which looked even more like mockery. Seeing his appearance, Tu Qianjun didn't care. He looked at Lin Bao who was following him, Shang Dinnan and the others said, "You go out first, I'll talk to this Mr. Kishimoto alone. I believe he will tell me something he knows..."
Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Lin Bao and Monk Dinan looked at each other, then glanced at the prison administrator and left the cell together. With a bang~, the big iron gate was closed. Tu Qianjun smiled slightly and walked to Kishimoto's side. I don't know where to use an inconspicuous small scimitar. This knife was very special. Its bend was actually inwardly. Tu Qianjun showed the knife in front of Kishimoto and smiled sincerely and said softly: "Since you have been in China for so long, you must know that we have a punishment called "scutting" or "lingchi". This punishment is also called "scutting to death". In fact, this punishment is not complicated. Simply put, it is to use a small blade to punish thousands of knives to avoid blood vessels. "
Kishimoto's eyes were no longer ridiculous when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, but more of a horror! He had been in China for many years, naturally knew this extremely cruel punishment! And at this moment, Tu Qianjun looked at him and whispered softly: "My knife is a small knife specially used for 'lingchi' in the Ming Dynasty. What's very unfortunate for you is that I happen to be very familiar with how 'lingchi'. My highest record was to shoot 871 knives by one person."
As he said that, Tu Qianjun looked at Kishimoto's eyes sincerely and said sincerely: "I hope you will let me break this record..."
Half an hour later, Tu Qianjun walked out of the cell with a heavy face. He held a confession in his hand and said in a deep voice to Shang Dinan and Lin Bao who were guarding the door of the cell: "Go to the Telegraph Bureau immediately! I want to send a report to the general immediately!" Seeing Tu Qianjun's solemn expression, Lin Bao and Shang Dinan felt the seriousness of the matter! He did not dare to neglect and quickly went out to lead the horse. Then the three of them got on the horse and ran towards the Jinan Telegraph Bureau!
After a while, they rushed to the telegraph office. Tu Qianjun asked Lin Bao and Dinan to take the telegraph away, and then personally operated the telegraph machine to send a secret telegraph to Zhang Zuolin in Beijing! A few minutes later, a secret radio station in An** in Beijing received the seemingly garbled telegraph. After receiving the telegraph, the recorder did not dare to neglect and handed the seemingly garbled telegraphs to the correspondent and sent them to the Marshal's Mansion.
Yan Zhengqing, who was in the Marshal's Mansion, got the garbled code and went straight back to his room, and carefully translated the telegram using the translation procedure agreed with Tu Qianjun in advance. When he got the full text of the telegram, Yan Zhengqing couldn't help but take a breath! He didn't dare to neglect at the moment. He hurriedly found Zhang Zuolin, who was working in the headquarters, and directly handed the telegram to him.
Zhang Zuolin, who received the telegram, drove everyone out of the combat laboratory first and then finished reading the telegram in a few seconds. After reading the telegram translation, his face was sank for a while and couldn't speak! After a long time, Zhang Zuolin slapped the table with a "bang!" and began to roar like a lion who was angry!
The telegram read: On May 13, our department arrested Kishimoto Shigoro, the director of the Secret Information Department of the Japanese North China garrison. After interrogation, the other party admitted that he had collected military equipment and personnel ratio information of our department before the war. After interrogation, the director of the intelligence department gave out a major news! It said that the Japanese Kwantung Army was severely damaged by the Third Division and the 6th Division was annihilated. They secretly planned to send troops to invade our three northeastern provinces while we were in the pass! The first battle was locked in Fengtian. Secondly, the road to our department was blocked and the foundation of our department was completely occupied!
Secondly, it was confirmed by him that Kawamoto, a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army Command, conspired to assassinate the general on his way back to Feng! This matter is of great importance. Forget the Qi Uncle to be careful! Warm him! Do not easily take risks. My nephew slaughtered Qianjun in Jinan!
"Mah! I'm fucking a little Japanese! Note that I hit me on my head! OK! OK! Then let's see who can cut off my head!" After reading the telegram, Zhang Zuolin pulled open his clothes, panting, his eyes full of blood! His whole body looked like a ferocious beast that was angry! Crazy and violent! His whole body was filled with blood. Zhang Zuolin, who kept popping out of his mouth and making a furious speech for a long time, finally fell silent and looked at Yan Zhengqing with red eyes and growled: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Yan Zhengqing listened to Zhang Zuolin's culture for a while before he said to Zhang Zuolin slowly: "Send people back to Fengtian City first, after all, Fengtian is our foundation! If there is no Fengtian, we will become wild dogs without a home and have no place to run. Secondly, we must arrange people to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army! Especially the movements of the Kanto Army mentioned in the telegram. I believe that Junzi will not say those words about the empty wind. Since he said it, there must be something! We must pay attention! In addition, the time of the regulations must be adjusted again. Especially, we cannot let the Japanese know."
Zhang Zuolin had calmed down at this time, and nodded after hearing Yan Zhengqing's mature and steadfast words. Then he continued to ask: "Sir, who will we send back to Fengtian City?!" Yan Zhengqing couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhang Zuolin's words, and then said: "It is better to decide who to send, the general will decide, but my personal suggestion is: This person must first be trusted. If it seems that he can't believe it, I'm worried that it will cause leakage or even be bought by the Kwantung Army! Secondly, don't be too conspicuous in the army, it is important. After all, if we suddenly send important figures back, it will give the Northern Expedition Army a sense that we are very anxious to go back and bargain. And this will also arouse the Kwantung Army's vigilance! It even leads to them launching a coup in advance. The most important point is: this person must be able to fight, and once a war occurs, then this person must be able to withstand the attack of the Kwantung Army, thereby delaying time so that we can return to Fengtian."
After hearing Yan Zhengqing's words, Zhang Zuolin kept nodding. These three points were indeed the most important. Originally, he wanted to send his son Zhang Xueliang back. But now he heard Yan Zhengqing say this. It seems that Zhang Xueliang really can't move easily! After all, it is a critical moment in negotiations with the Northern Expedition Army. If Zhang Xueliang, as the main force, returned to Fengtian first, then the peaceful military morale would definitely be shaken! Even the Northern Expedition Army would seize this opportunity to attack. Once the Japanese discovered that Zhang Xueliang had left and returned to Fengtian, they might not be sure that the Kwantung Army would really launch an incident!
You should know that at this time, all the elite troops of An** are in the pass! Once the fight starts, whether Fengtian can be defended is a question. Moreover, since the Kwantung Army has plans, it will definitely nail the main generals here to prevent them from returning to Fengtian to organize resistance. But if Zhang Xueliang is not sent back to Zhang Zuolin himself is really worried whether he can withstand the possible wars of the Kwantung Army.
Moreover, Fengtian City is really too important. The arsenals, airports, planes, even tanks, artillery, etc. are all Zhang Zuolin's lifeblood! If these life-saving things are lost, Zhang Zuolin really wants to kill people! After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zuolin still couldn't think of who would go back. It seemed that it was not appropriate for anyone to go back! So he ordered Tu Sanpao behind him: "Sanpao! Please call Liuzi and the others for help. I have to ask their opinions on this matter."
Tu Sanpao said oh, then walked out of the headquarters. At this time, Zhang Zuolin suddenly noticed that Yan Zhengqing looked at him with a meaningful look. Zhang Zuolin was stunned for a moment and then slapped his head! He was really stupid. Isn’t Tu Sanpao the best candidate? When it comes to trusting, Tu Sanpao is undoubtedly the father and son! When it comes to reputation, Tu Sanpao has not appeared in the Fengtian clan in the past ten years, and no one will notice him!
When it comes to being able to fight, there is no doubt about it! Zhang Zuolin knew Tu Sanpao's ability clearly! With him staying in Fengtian City, he was afraid that the little Japanese would play with him?! There is no need to worry at all! But Tu Sanpao seemed to have no idea about his seventh brother's plan. After going out, he asked the messenger to find someone quickly and then returned to Zhang Zuolin and continued to stand quietly. The silent figure was like Zhang Zuolin's shadow.
Zhang Zuolin and Yan Zhengqing exchanged glances strangely with each other. Then they confirmed that Sanpao is the best candidate! However, Tu Sanpao had no idea that he might be leaving Beijing and returning to Fengtian City. At this time, he was still wondering whether his own buddy was safe or not?! Was he injured?! Whether the guys from the Northern Expedition Army would release people, etc.
Although Tu Sanpao said he was not worried, but there was actually no one who was not worried? After all, Tu Sanpao was only such a son in his life! If something really happened, who would he cry?! But, a man was born to go through the wind and rain. This is Tu Sanpao's usual creed. When his son grew up, he should go out to make a fortune by himself! What's the matter if he was staying by his side? So he was willing to Zhang Zuolin to send Tu Qianjun to Jinan City to have a fight with the Northern Expedition Army, but he did not expect that his son would do so beautifully! He swallowed one Japanese division in one breath, but also crippled another division! This made Tu Sanpao very happy! During this period, he almost told people how capable his son was, and almost everyone in the headquarters was afraid of him.
During those years when Tu Qianjun and the Japanese army fought, Tu Sanpao was worried in this Beijing city! But he still didn't show it at all. He only knew that a few kids from Ertoushan who came from Ertoushan who returned to his room to drink every day knew the depression of his boss during this period.
At this moment, Zhang Xueliang hurried to Zhang Zuolin's combat research room in the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Following him were another pillar of the Fengtian Division: Yang Yuting, Zhang Zuolin's secretary-general Yuan Jinkai and others. Seeing them coming in, Zhang Zuolin handed the telegram to them for circulating. Yang Yuting's first face changed when he saw it. Zhang Xueliang and Yuan Jinkai, who were surrounded by him, were also startled by the content of the telegram! Then Yuan Jinkai asked Zhang Zuolin urgently: "Master! Is this report from Junzi reliable?!"
After hearing Yuan Jinkai's question, Zhang Xueliang and Yan Zhengqing's faces were not very good-looking! Things are all in front of you. What questions are there? And combined with the fact that Junzi did the Japanese army, it is normal for the Kwantung Army to do this. However, Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly and said slowly to Yuan Jinkai: "Second brother! I also hope this is not true, but looking at Junzi's return, this was tortured by Kishimoto Shigoro, Director of the Confidential Information Department of the Japanese North China garrison, and it should not be fake."
Yuan Jinkai, whose courtesy name was Jieshan and Zhaozhi, was also named Jialu. This man was quite old. During the Zhao Er period, he was active in the political situation in the Northeast and even had a certain kind of promotion to Zhang Zuolin! When the Wuchang Uprising occurred, Yuan Jinkai led Zhao Er to compete with him. Zhao Er adopted it. When Yuan Jinkai learned that Zhang Rong and others were plotting to expel Zhao Er and announced the news that **, he immediately suggested that Zhao Er call Zhang Zuolin to lead a team to protect the heavens, and quickly establish a security committee for the three northeastern provinces. This move led to Zhao Er's continued control of the three northeastern provinces, and Yuan Jinkai was awarded the fourth-rank Beijing Hall by the Qing court. Xiang handled military training matters outside the pass.
Zhang Zuolin was able to enter Fengtian and began his journey of gradually dominating the Northeast. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin has never called Yuan Jinkai the name or name, but called "Second Brother" to show his intimacy and respect. Yuan Jinkai was named the twin gems of the Fengtianwenzhi School with Yu Chonghan after Zhang Zuolin's senior think tank Wang Yongjiang passed away!
"If things really look like Junzi said, then I have to be careful! And I must send someone back to Fengtian to preside over the situation immediately... Wait! The candidates to go are very important, we must consider them before making a decision! This person cannot attract the attention of the Japanese and the Northern Expedition Army. But the skills under his command cannot be sparse..." Yuan Jinkai is worthy of being one of the think tanks Zhang Zuolin relied on. After getting the documents, he analyzed and made a decision! This made Zhang Zuolin quite satisfied. It seems that his subordinates are also talented!
At this time, Zhang Xueliang, who had received the telegram and read it carefully, said to Zhang Zuolin in a deep voice: "Master, I'd better go back! After all, my uncle is not young. And most of the security forces in Fengtian City are in security forces! Once the Kwantung Army is launched, I can't stand it!" Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but smile and said to Zhang Xueliang: "Sixth son, you kid can't leave now! Since the Kwantung Army is about to launch, how can you not stare at your movement? And the result of the negotiation with the Northern Expedition Army has not yet come out. What if they launch an attack like this?! What you kid is thinking is too simple!"
Zhang Xueliang was speechless when he heard this. At this time, Zhang Zuolin turned around and suddenly said to Tu Sanpao behind him, "Sanpao, how about you going for Brother Seven?" Everyone present was stunned when they heard Zhang Zuolin's words without warning. They did not expect that Zhang Zuolin would ask Tu Sanpao to go this way for him! However, Yuan Jinkai nodded when he saw Zhang Zuolin's arrangement. He had known Zhang Zuolin and Tu Sanpao for many years. Naturally, he knew how fierce the Tu Tiger who stood behind Zhang Zuolin without saying a word is now!
With him in Fengtian, it is not difficult to protect Fengtian for a period of time without being compromised. Maybe this guy can still fight the same kind of defense as his son! This is not impossible.
Just as Zhang Zuolin and his staff and generals discussed Tu Qianjun's information, two Japanese soldiers, one old and one young, stood opposite each other in the commander's office of the Kwantung Army headquarters! The elderly was the current commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Nagataro Muraoka, and the tall and thin man in front of him was the Kawamoto master of the commander Tu Qianjun mentioned in the telegram!
At this time, Kawamoto Daisaku had the rank of colonel and served as a senior staff officer of the Kanto Army Command! Nagataro Muraoka looked at Kawamoto Daisaku with that complicated look and said in a deep voice: "Kamoto! Are you really going to do this?! Do you know what the consequences are?!"
"Report to the commander! Kawamoto knows!" Kawamoto's great master stood at attention with a "bang!" and respectfully said to Nagataro Muraoka, "But the lord knows even more that Zhang Zuolin is the object of elimination for the full benefit of the empire! Now that the bandit has already released his original intention, he will not implement the agreement signed with the empire at all! Therefore, removing this person is what the emperor should do!"
"If you want to benefit the empire, what's the point of killing one or two people?! This time the subordinate has set up a sure killing plan! He will definitely be killed! Even if he is dismissed for this, he will even apologize to the emperor!" As he said that, Kawamoto Dasaku said slowly to Muraoka Nagataro: "China is a place full of warlords and melee! We will seize all warlords who are pro-our empire. As we can use it, we will assist you when it can be used, and we will try to eliminate it when it cannot be used! Only in this way can the interests of the empire. If China grows stronger, then the empire will still be threatened!"
Speaking of this, Kawamoto Dasaku lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "So! Commander! Please give your subordinate a chance to let the subordinate be loyal to the empire!"
When Nagataro Muraoka heard Kawamoto Dasao's words, he did not reply immediately, but turned around and pondered and returned to his chair without saying a word for a long time. Kawamoto Dasao couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this situation, and asked, "Your Excellency Commander..."
"Okay! Don't say it anymore. I have never heard of this before. I don't know anything! Go down!" Muraoka Nagataro suddenly waved his hand irritably and shouted at Kawamoto Dasaku: "Kamoto! Remember your identity! Think about how many people our Kanto Army is in China Manchuria now?! We have already left tens of thousands of warriors in Jinan some time ago! I don't want to watch the Emperor** break so worthless jade!"
Kawamoto Daisaku heard Nagataro Muraoka's words silent. He knew that the Tanaka Cabinet and the Japanese General Staff were now overwhelmed by these things! No. 1 Lieutenant General Anmanqin even gave birth to the emperor in Qingdao. The emotions in Japan were surging! There were protests everywhere against the major consequences of the General Staff and the cabinet's dispatch of troops to Jinan! Everyone was pushed to the forefront! At this time, Nagataro Muraoka naturally did not dare to do too much. Thinking of this layer of Kawamoto Daisaku, I couldn't help feeling a little sad.
But then, the words of Nagataro Muraoka made his eyes lit up! Nobunagataro Muraoka Nagataro slowly said to Kawamoto Dasaku: "But if it is not an emperor to do this, then I believe that something will happen and we can't blame the Kanto Army if something happens!"
Kawamoto Dasaku was not a fool, how could he not know what he meant when he heard Nagataro Muraoka's words? Simply put, as long as there is no evidence to prove that it was the Kanto Army's work, it would be okay to do this! Kawamoto Dasaku couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard Nagataro Muraoka's words! Then he said uncertainly: "The commander, what is the meaning of..."
"Hmph! Stupid! Of course, this is something that we Kanto Army cannot do, but others can do it." Lieutenant General Muraoka Nagataro said, and smiled strangely and said in a deep voice: "What are the two guys, Kohina Shiro and Ida Shunnosuke, have been staying in the Chinese army forever? Now is the time when the empire needs them! Let them move, and as for how they move, it is up to you to decide!"
Chapter completed!
