Chapter 67
On February 18, 1916, just after the Lantern Festival, the Heilongjiang Governor's Office issued an order, which was to ban all sects, parliaments, and Harbin temporarily implemented military control. The reason was that Li Changgeng was attempted to assassinate by revolutionaries.
Let's go back to February 17th the day before the incident. It was the last day of the Spring Festival. In the evening, Li Changgeng was preparing to attend a friendly reception held by the Japanese leader Kazuo Tano. The convoy was ready to park at the gate. At this time, a man with his whole body covered with eyes exposed. This robbery immediately attracted the attention of the guards in front of the gate. A soldier rushed forward and heard the man in black whisper, "I have something important to report to the governor, it is related to the safety of the governor. If you can't make a decision, please find someone who can make a decision to speak."
The guards in front of the Governor's Mansion were all smart people who were carefully selected. After hearing the man in black, they immediately turned around and said to the guard beside him: "I see that this person's travel is gone. Maybe he is a spy. I'll take it in and ask, and you can take care of me."
As he spoke, the guard kicked the man in black and cursed, "You can see the Governor's Mansion at will. Mom, you don't look like a good person!" As he said that, he betrayed the man in black and walked into the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
After entering the gate, the guards pulled the man in black into the door. After entering the room, the guards clasped their fists and said, "I was sorry just now. Please don't blame me. I am Ye Guang, I don't know what sir is calling me. Can you tell me the general meaning? I want to report to my superiors."
The man in black took off his hat, and black scarf clasped his fists and replied: "I am the eunuch of the Qing Dynasty, Su Dehai, the eunuch in the Qing Dynasty, who has urgent matters to report to the Governor. It is related to the safety of Governor, so please hurry up."
"Okay, then I'll go and pass the message to you now, sir!"
Su Dehai said to himself when he saw Ye Guang leaving, "I didn't expect that this guard in Li Qiming's mansion was so clever. It seems that even without my notification, Japan would be difficult to accomplish."
Ye Guang went out without two points and entered the house. Without saying a word, he took Su Dehai's hand and walked out. "Mr. I was rude to follow the power in an urgent matter. Our captain was rushing to inform the governor of this matter and asked me to take Mr. to follow him."
"Okay, that's what it should be! It seems that the Governor is not only wise and powerful, but also his brothers who work under him are smart and decisive."
"Sir, I'm sorry!"
When the two of them ran to the small flower hall of the Governor's Mansion, Li Changgeng was already greeting the door. When he saw Su Dehai, he stretched out his hand and shook it with him and said, "Mr. Su, right? Please sit in the room."
After entering the flower hall, Su Dehai took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Changgeng, "This is a handwritten letter sent by Prince Su to the adults. Please check it out."
Li Changgeng took the letter and opened it and read it all. The content of the letter mainly mentioned the polite words of Manchu under Li Changgeng's rule, such as Li Changgeng's rule, but also said that the Japanese should support him in Manchu and Mongolia's independence.
Putting down the letter, Li Changgeng said to Su Dehai seriously: "China is a big country, with 56 ethnic groups including Han, Man, Mongolia, Tibetan and Hui. They have lived on this land for thousands of years, and are all Chinese bloodlines. However, the Han people account for more than 90% of the population of the Republic of China. This is a mass and cannot be changed.
The Qing Dynasty ruled China for more than two hundred years, and it was a blessing that nothing could be forced. Those who wanted to make Manchu and Mongolia independent were short-sighted, and the Japanese were even more ambitious. Now the Manchu and Han tribes have long been integrated into each other. They were thinking about whether Manchu and Mongolia independence was against the will of heaven. Not to mention that they could not make it, even if they were done, they were just puppets of other countries. Looking at North Korea, aren’t you still awake?”
"This..., Prince Su...forget it, is the Governor going to the Japanese Consulate?"
"That's right. I wonder what sir has to do?"
"I don't dare to be a disciple when I see you. The slave is just telling you a message to Prince Su. The Japanese Kawashima Natsu learned that the master was going to attend a banquet tonight. On the road, I ambushed the dead soldiers and wanted to assassinate the adults. As far as the slave knows, there are two waves of dead soldiers, one is to drop bombs and the other is to assassinate with a gun."
After hearing this, Li Changgeng's heart thumped a few times, saying that he was not afraid of it being a lie. He was a second-generation official in the peace era and would never encounter any assassination. Kawashima Langsu, I remember you today!
Seeing that Li Changgeng's face was strange, Su Dehai advised: "I have finished what the slave should say, so I won't disturb the governor's arrangement of things."
"Mr. Su walked slowly. Please send me a few words to Shanqi, and said that I would accept his love. Independence of Manchu and Mongolia cannot be achieved. Even if it is done, it is just a wedding dress for others. It has to be criticized by thousands of people. The Qing Dynasty has lost a great country. How easy is it to restore the country? Be a rich man. The president is still good for the Qing Dynasty. If it is useful to be brothers, and Chang Geng can do it, just pass on a message."
"Mr. Li is so happy, and what he said is true. I'm not in vain. I'll take the risk to come here. Goodbye!" Su Dehai held hands and left. He was a little puzzled. Did Governor Li use magic on himself? How could he tell the truth by shaking his hands? But for so many years, when did anyone do not discriminate against himself like this?
Li Changgeng didn't think so much about it. When he came to this era, he still felt a little uncomfortable with the boxing ceremony, so sometimes he didn't feel like shaking hands with others. This is the etiquette he developed since childhood.
"Sun Sanpao!"
"Come!" Hearing Li Changgeng greeting him, Sun Sanpao came in from outside the door and saluted Li Changgeng and said sternly: "What are your instructions? The convoy is ready!"
"Well, I just got the news that someone wants to assassinate this governor tonight."
"What do you mean by sir to cancel your trip tonight?"
"Cancel is useless. If you don't do it today, there will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. That's why you have a thousand days to defend against thieves."
"Sir, do you have to take risks and lure the enemy!"
"Yes, since I already know, the danger is smaller, so it's better to just follow the plan."
"Your Majesty doesn't have to take risks in person, you have a plan."
"Speak and listen."
"Okay, my subordinates have also done business of hitting people and shooting people before. If the other party wants to assassinate a big shot like the governor, they must be a group of people, and some must be fighting to the death."
"Well, the news I received was that the assassination people dropped bombs at the convoy in two waves, and the other wave was gunmen."
"Oh, if there are bombs, that's easy to deal with."
“How to say it?”
"Sir, it's still a bit troublesome to be a gunman. If we put the gun in our arms, we can't tell who the killer is. But if there is a bomb dropper, it's easy to deal with. You must choose a favorable terrain, such as high places or narrow roads, and there must be a place around which the gunman hides. Do you still remember whether the assassination case is assassinated? This is how the assassin uses. In this case, the killer must know about the adults attending the banquet in advance, so there are only a few ambush places for the killer to lie."
As he said that, Sun Sanpao was on the table, dipped his fingers in tea to draw several road maps for Li Changgeng's trip, and pointed out several areas with doubts.
After listening to the analysis, Li Changgeng clapped his hands and said, "Professional people are professionals. With you, I feel much more at ease. Then you are talking about what we should do!"
"It is definitely not possible if the adults do not show up. If the person who picks the plates cannot see the adults, they may change their action plan. So the adults will still show their side after leaving the mansion. In this place, the adults have changed clothes in the car, and I will pretend to be the adults. The adults change into ordinary guards' clothes, borrow the opportunity to repair the car, and go to the escort car behind to pick up things. At this time, the adults hide in the car and return to your car after they get down. In this way, the adults will be safe. The adults are secretly mobilizing brothers from the cavalry brigade to surround the periphery and capture these assassins in one fell swoop."
"No need to capture it. I know who did it, kill them all!"
