Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Six The Empire Is Going Up In Shanghai(1/2)
Looking at Wu Hao coming, Yang Ziren couldn't help but smile. In fact, almost at the same time as the Ningdu meeting, the Provisional Central Committee in Shanghai received a report from the Soviet Area Central Bureau. Qin Bangxian convened a meeting of the Standing Committee in Shanghai on October 6 to discuss.
Criticizing Yang Ziren's "viewpoint of decentralizing work" is "conservative and retreating" and "cannot be tolerated", and emphasizes that a resolute struggle should be fought against Yang Ziren.
When this telegram from the Provisional Central Committee arrived at the front line of the Central Soviet Area, the Ningdu Conference had ended, and Yang Ziren had left the front line to "recuperate" at Changting Evangelical Hospital.
Yang Ziren, who suffered a double blow, did not collapse, but his thoughts were changing rapidly! According to what he said in an interview with Snow later, he matured at this time.
It is undeniable that even though Yang Ziren was at odds with the Nanjing Government, he contributed a lot to the establishment of the Nanjing Government. Even in later generations, the Daiwan Government still preserved various documents drafted by Yang Ziren himself.
The elders of the Nanjing government also had extraordinary regard for Yang Ziren! Hu Hanmin, the elder of the government, once wrote to Yang Ziren, saying: "Run my brother!" He called himself his brother Hanmin. You know, Hu Hanmin was 45 years old at the time, and Yang Ziren was only 31 years old!
In terms of status, Yang Ziren was just Hu Hanmin's secretary at that time! In an era where addressing was extremely strict, secretaries who were younger than him were called "brother" and his real name was added. This shows that Yang Ziren's ability is indeed superior. If not for his heartfelt admiration, the elder
How could the class-level Hu Hanmin lower himself to such an extent?!
Later, another state elder, Wang Zhaoming, proposed that Yang Ziren serve as acting director of the Propaganda Department of the state, which was approved by the Standing Committee. There is no doubt that Yang Ziren's work was effective. When he took office, the state's propaganda was basically limited to Guangdong Province.
But when he left office in May of the following year, the government’s propaganda coverage had reached as many as 12 provinces and cities!
"Lao Wu, why are you free to see me?!" Yang Ziren laughed and welcomed Wu Hao into his room with his unique Hunan accent.
Evangelical Hospital is located at No. 56 Donghou Lane, Dongmen Street, at the foot of the North Mountain in Changting County. It was originally a British church hospital. It is surrounded by walls and the terrain is low in front and high in the back. It consists of 6 civil buildings including a concierge, chapel, ward, medical room, and operating room.
The structure is composed of bungalows. There are 30 rooms in total and the construction area is 1871 square meters.
British missionaries came to Changting in 1902. It was built from 1904 to 1908 and named "Ashton Medical Center". In 1926, it was renamed Evangelical Hospital. Fu Lianshang was in charge.
During the "August 1st" Nanchang Uprising troops passed through Changting, the hospital enthusiastically served the rebels and received more than 300 wounded people. In 1931, Gospel Hospital became the Red Army Hospital in the Central Soviet Area.
The house Yang Ziren lived in was just a low tiled house. It seems ordinary now, but it was already considered good at the time.
Wu Hao walked into his ward with Yang Ziren with a smile, sat down on the chair and then said: "Ziren, the Standing Committee asked me to come to you. Please go back!"
Yang Ziren couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Then he looked at Wu Hao in confusion. Wu Hao didn't know how he was squeezed out by the people in the Standing Committee. Why did their attitude suddenly change?!
Seeing Yang Ziren's confusion, Wu Hao couldn't help but smile and explain: "The tiger from Manchuria is coming. He even contacted the Soviet Union and asked to see you and me, so the Standing Committee asked you to go back."
Yang Ziren was silent after hearing this, and he smoked a cigarette. After a while, he whispered to Wu Hao: "I obey the organization's arrangements. But what I want to know is, why did that tiger come over and ask to see you and me by name?"
!”
When Wu Hao heard what Yang Ziren said, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "How did I know?! But he had a warning that he wanted to meet us. Comrade Xiaoling had previously sent news from Manchuria that he was interested in meeting us."
Yang Ziren thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really happening! But at that time, he and Manchuria were thousands of miles apart. First of all, he was busy dealing with various things. Secondly, the tiger seemed to have no time either. This meeting was delayed.
Come down.
What Yang Ziren didn't expect was that this fierce tiger would choose to see him at this time.
But since they are here, and the committee has asked me to go back, what reason is there for not seeing her?! Besides, Yang Ziren is also very interested in this tiger!
Although he himself has fought against the national army several times and achieved victory, he would still have some headaches if he were to fight against the well-trained and advanced-equipped Japanese army!
He has studied several battles of this tiger, including the earliest Battle of Jinan. After careful study, he found that this tiger seemed to take risks but actually had a complete deployment and combat strategy. Therefore, for this tiger
Yang Ziren was also quite interested.
At this time, Tokyo, Japan.
The officers who assassinated Takeshi Inukai were released one after another in silence, but then they were shocked to find that Admiral Saito Minoru, who they tried hard to assassinate but was in power, was still executing the orders of former Prime Minister Takeshi Inukai.
policy!
This made the non-commissioned officers who originally thought that the cabinet policy would change if Inukai Takeshi died, became faintly angry! This kind of anger even made them try to assassinate again. However, they were stopped.
"We don't want any high-ranking prime minister to be assassinated!" Prince Hanguin said: "This is too embarrassing! Even if Saito has a problem, it can only be the overthrow of the cabinet! No more assassinations.
The way to go!"
Without the support of the prince, the military headquarters would naturally not dare to act randomly. And without the orders of the military headquarters, these non-commissioned officers would not dare to act at will.
They didn't know that this was actually because of Hirohito's worries. The military would go over and assassinate anyone they didn't like, and no one could stand it! This kind of madness even made Hirohito a little scared!
However, although assassination was not possible, there was still a way to bring down Minoru Saito. So under the hint of the military, especially the Army, the corruption suspicion of Minister of Commerce and Industry Kumankichi Nakajima in the establishment of Nippon Steel was exposed; the magazine published "Ashikaga"
"Takashi's Praise Theory"; Hatoyama Literary Minister's Kata Industrial Co., Ltd. was suspected of accepting bribes; "Mingtang Incident"... and a series of other things were completely exposed!
Obviously, these so-called "exposures" and hype are all for the purpose of legitimately overthrowing the Saito cabinet.
However, the Navy Ministry in the military department will also protect its generals, so the army cannot go too far. Under all these overt and covert struggles, Saito's life was extremely difficult.
But even so, the Army Ministry still refused to let him go.
The Deputy Speaker of the Privy Council, Kiichiro Hiranuma, entertained these "heroes" who had just been released from prison at his home. Everyone sat on the tatami, and Kiichiro Hiranuma raised his glass to them and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work.
!”
"Don't dare! Be loyal to the empire!" These non-commissioned officers excitedly picked up the wine glass, respectfully saluted Hiranuma Kirichiro and drank it all in one gulp!
It is not surprising that these non-commissioned officers were excited, because at this time they were accompanied by Hara Yoshichichi, Kisaburo Suzuki, Yamaoka Mannosuke from the judiciary, Fumio Goto from the internal affairs department, Kanji Kato from the navy, Nobumasa Suetsugu, Sadao Araki from the army...
Wait, these people are all high-level people in Japan now! In normal times, it would be difficult for them to even meet! Let alone sit together and drink. This is a great honor for them!
"Hiranuma-kun, although we succeeded this time, the most important goal was not achieved!" Kisaburo Suzuki put down his wine glass, glanced at the crowd and said solemnly: "That old guy from Saionji Temple actually took away your nomination.
!This is simply inexcusable!”
Hiranuma Kirichiro sighed helplessly, put down his wine glass and said to several people: "The influence of Saionji Temple is so great that even the emperor has to communicate with him. Who said he doesn't like me?! This is
What else can I do?!"
Araki Sadao smiled coldly. He raised the glass and drank it all! Hehehe said coldly: "This old guy has hindered the development of the empire. We will eventually sweep him into the trash! But now is not the time.
!”
Ordinarily, Araki Sadao's words were a bit treasonous. But these people just smiled and no one refuted.
"Since this old guy wants to push out Minoru Saito, then let's let Minoru Saito die!" Kanji Kato of the Navy snorted: "A liberal like Saito is not suitable to be prime minister, even in my case.
It seems that this guy is a disgrace to our navy!"
Hiranuma Kirichiro's expression changed several times when he heard this, and he said to Kanji Kato in a deep voice: "Kato-kun, please don't mess around! We just got rid of that old guy Inukai Takeshi. If he does it again, I don't know if the military will tolerate it.
us!"
Kanji Kato sneered. He looked at Kiichiro Hiranuma and said, "Don't worry, it won't be us. Even this time we won't take action. I just received the news, so just pretend I don't know!"
Hiranuma Kiichiro breathed a sigh of relief. Then he asked curiously: "Oh? 1What news did Kato-kun receive?!"
Kato Kanji drank all the wine in the glass and continued: "Kodama Yushifu was recruited by Mr. Touyama's son..."
This was not finished, but everyone was already enlightened! It seems that Hidezo Toyama was not satisfied that after he took the risk to assassinate Inukai Takeshi, he was actually picked by the navy's liberal faction! So I thought of doing it again!
"I think he didn't inform you, sir, otherwise you wouldn't have let him mess around..." Hiranuma Kiichiro thought for a while and said to a few people: "We'd better wait and see what happens in this matter, but it's best to inform your Majesty.
Otherwise, we will all be blamed later..."
The rest of the people nodded, and Kiichiro Hiranuma paused and said to Suzuki Kisaburo: "How is the investigation of the Daiwan incident?! Do you have any clues?!"
Suzuki Kisaburo nodded when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "There is already news, but we have to wait for a while! Let's see if Toyama Hidezo can make it happen..."
Several people smiled knowingly and raised their glasses to drink together.
At this time, in a small hotel in Tokyo, Kodama Yushio, whom Suzuki Kisaburo and others called him, was respectfully listening to the instructions of a man. Kodama Yushio looked very ordinary, with thin eyebrows, small eyes, a nose, and
A mouth full of stubble.
His disheveled hair made him look a little embarrassed. Wearing a wide kimono, he knelt down respectfully in front of the man in front of him.
"Kodama-kun, Mr. Toyama is very satisfied with your work in North Korea!" The man looked down at Kodama Yushio and said in a deep voice: "But now we need you to do more important work!
As long as you complete this job, you will be nominated to the list of Black Dragon Society officials..."
Kodama Yushifu couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this!
Speaking of which, Kodama Yushio's background is not low. His father was once a samurai, which is the so-called "gentry" in Japan. But his family was too poor when he was born, so he was sent to live with relatives in North Korea.
.
Perhaps because he was dependent on others, Kodama Yushio was extremely violent since he was a child! At the age of 17, he joined the violent group "Jiangkai" organized by Akao Satoshi, and soon joined the "Radical Patriotic Party".
He was capable of slashing and killing, and was full of intrigues. He knew the secrets of being ruthless and ruthless, so he actively moved closer to the gang leader. He was appreciated by his superiors, and he supported and followed the later Japanese intelligence leader, the boss of the Black Dragon Society, Datooushan Mitsuru!
Someone above would naturally have a chance. In 1931, Kodama Yushio was sent to Northeast China to engage in espionage activities. Although the September 18th Incident was a disastrous defeat, he was extremely lucky to escape death. Then he performed well while working in North Korea. So he became
Advisor to the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters.
"You've also heard about Inukai Takeshi!" The man looked at Yushio Kodama and said solemnly: "We have done a lot of work, but we didn't expect that we picked peaches for that old guy at Saionji Temple! This is
Absolutely not allowed!”
Kodama Yoshio's head hung even lower, not daring to speak at all. Saionji Konobo has been in politics for many years, and even has his own influence on the emperor! For such a person, Kodama Yushio has no idea at all.
I dare you to make any comments.
Seeing that Kodama Yushifu remained silent, the man snorted coldly: "Don't worry! I didn't ask you to assassinate that old guy from Saionji Temple. What I meant was to kill that damn liberal Saito Minoru!"
Kodama Yushio almost cried, Saito Minoru is not an ordinary person! He has been a vice-officer of the navy, a navy minister, and even served as the governor of Korea! Now he is even the prime minister! Go and assassinate him yourself, regardless of whether you succeed or not.
OK?!
The man seemed to have noticed Yushio Kodama's hesitation, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are not asking you to die. No matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, we will always save your life. Those who killed
Aren’t Inukai Takeshi’s sergeants okay now?!”
