91 in danger

Two very primitive gray-green transport vehicles have experienced the baptism of war. The engine cover with a long nose on the front of the car peeled off a lot of patent leather like a sores. Now only Li Xiang has two such joint tractor site modified transport vehicles in the world. The car made a "whew" noise from the general department of the Anxi Army of the National Revolution located in Zhangye Street, Lanzhou, and drove out of the Yanghui Road in Lanzhou with a "whewish" noise and turned on the official road leading to Shaanxi.

There is a convertible in front of the Golden Eagle Guard, who is in charge of the guard. There is a car with a canopy in the back, and Li Xiang and Tang Yuewan asked for several female planes in the carriage.

The Xiangyang Incident surprised everyone. At that time, Li Xiang just said briefly and simply, "Let's go."

Li wants to wear a big brim hat with a blue sky and white sun badge. There are two impressive sword eyebrows in the shadow cast by the brim. A pair of small eyes seem to be open. He seems to be not interested in the earth outside the car, which is frozen for thousands of miles and snow, and seems to be indifferent to the bumps of the car body. In this, the silent wrap is yellow. The coat is leaning on the railing. This is a thin, beautiful, white, very young, and even a young baby face. This is also a face that looks very deep and elusive. This is a passer-by who walks on the street. If it weren't for his name, people would think it was a plain passer-by face. This is also a face that makes his enemies hate to the bone - it's simply a ferocious face!

At this moment, the wheels are turning, and the wheel in Li Xiang's mind is also turning. Instead of considering the problem of Xiangyang, Zeng Gao and Li Xiping are all in Wuhan. They can deal with it. He went back just to better calm people's hearts. What he is considering now is an episode that happened before departure.

Huang Yue led his troops across the Yellow River, occupied the temple beach on the north bank of the Yellow River, and quickly calmed down the out-of-control Qing army. However, the main criminals such as Chang Geng, Shengyun and Ma Anliang were also caught, but caught several small Dongyang.

These little Dongyang claim to be the Otani Guangrui expedition, and it is not the first expedition to the Western Regions, but the third time. These guys are all confessed. These little Dongyang thought that Li was as easy to fool as the Chinese people of this era. Li wanted to see through their hearts, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys at a glance! The Otani Guangrui expedition is the advance team of Japanese invasion of China. At the same time, it steals Chinese cultural relics in the name of archaeology. Anyway, there is nothing good. To Li Xiang's surprise, Xiao Dongyang's tentacles went deep into the Western Regions so quickly, which was faster than his movements!

The third Central Asian expedition of the Otani Guangrui expedition began in 1991 and was carried out on the basis of the first two times. First of all, Ju Ruichao visited European countries with Otani Guangrui to prepare for the work. He met with famous Western and Central Asian explorers such as Stein in the United Kingdom, Sven Heding in Switzerland, Berghe in France, and Le Kirk in Germany. From them, he got a variety of latest information and knowledge about the Western Central Asia. For the future Fully prepare for the inspection activities.

In August, Ju Ruichao, together with his hired servant, British Huo Booth, entered Siberia by train through St. Petersburg, Russia, and then into Xinjiang, China. He first went to Turpan for a month of excavation. In early December, he asked Ho Booth to take Turpan's excavations to Kuqa to wait for him, and he himself went to Gu Loulan, who found "Li Bai's Documents" last time, and secretly stripped the murals of the Wangling of the Peacock River Loulan Ruins despite the destructive excavation of cultural relics.

In February of 1991, he set out from Qiemo; crossed the Taklamakan Desert from south to north; and then inspected Kashgar and Hetan, the thousand-year-old ancient cities of the Western Regions recorded in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the situation changed greatly due to the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution in China. Otani Mitsuyoshi also didn't get any news from Ju Ruichao for a long time. He was very anxious, so he decided to send Koichiro Yoshikawa to look for it in the same year.

Jichuan arrived in Dunhuang on October 5, 1991 through Shanghai, Wuhan and Lanzhou. At that time, Li Xiang was still alive and killed in Hubei, and he didn't notice this trivial matter at all.

Koichiro Yoshikawa is not a good bird. During his time in Dunhuang, on the one hand, he took telegrams to various parts of Xinjiang, on the other hand, he sent people to look for Ju Ruichao, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity to wait for Ju Ruichao to carry out treasure stealing activities in Dunhuang. In Dunhuang, he obtained some scriptures and documents and stole several color sculptures through various means. Another part of the caves of Dunhuang Thousand Buddha Cave were photographed.

(The author's note: One day in 1999, Wang Yuanlu, the Taoist priest in charge of Mogao Grottoes, opened the "Tibetan Sutra Cave" that had been hidden for thousands of years by chance. Many precious cultural relics finally saw the sun again, but the inaction of the Qing Dynasty, plus the ignorance of the Taoist priest Yuanlu, made these precious The cultural relics were unscrupulously pled and robbed by the foreign devils who explored the Western Regions. In 1905, Obrouchev of Tsar Russia came to Mogao Grottoes and used six bags of daily necessities as bait to defraud a batch of rare cultural relics. In 1997, the British Stein robbed more than 10,000 volumes with only a few dozen pieces of horseshoe silver. At the same time, there were more than 500 Buddhist embroidery and Buddhist paintings, which are now in the British Museum. In 1998, the French Birch and stole more than 6,000 volumes of cultural relics, which are now in the National Library of France in Paris and the Jimei Museum. In October 1991, Koichiro Yoshikawa and Ju Ruichao of Japan's Otani Korui Expedition stole more than 900 volumes. The value of the loss of cultural relics in the modern Western Regions is immeasurable.)

At this time, Ju Ruichao was also dressed as a Uighur from Ruoqiang in Xinjiang and headed for Dunhuang. On the way, he met a Uighur who came back from Dunhuang and knew that a Japanese was looking for another Japanese in Lop Nur in Dunhuang, with a letter. When Tachibana Ruichao saw the letter, he knew that it was Yoshikawa. Ichiro is looking for his news in Dunhuang. So Ju Ruichao hurried to Dunhuang and met Yoshikawa there.

In Dunhuang, they bought some Dunhuang manuscripts from Wang Taoist priests and others respectively. Wang Daoshi sold some of his hidden cultural relics to Tachibana Ruichao and Koichiro Yoshikawa of the Otani expedition in Japan. The two have been active in Dunhuang for some time. Because the Tibetan Sutra Cave was already empty at this time, and Otani Guangrui repeatedly asked them to return to China. At the same time, their work style, habits, personality, etc. were not very cooperative, so they acted separately. Jichuan went to Lanzhou, and Ju Ruichao went to Qinghai. In Qinghai, Ju Ruichao received a domestic telegram asking him to stop his activities and return to China immediately, so he had to turn back and catch up with Jichuan to Lanzhou together. Jichuan decided to take Qinghai to enter Tibet. Ju Ruichao was ready to go to Ningxia, take a detour to Beijing, and then return to China.

However, these little oriental people were unlucky. When they arrived in Lanzhou, the city was broken, and what was even more unlucky was that they met Li Xiang. Adventure is originally a high-risk profession, and it is normal for dead people, so Li Xiang quietly dug a pit to bury them all, and a large number of cultural relics were recovered and packaged and transported back to Wuhan.

The three Central Asian expeditions of the Japanese Otani Expedition are different from other countries such as Sven Heding, Stein, Berghe, Odenburg, etc. The personnel composition of the Otani Expedition itself is not a scholar, but also knows nothing about archaeology, and the scope of their investigation. It is also too extensive. Because what they excavated is not well recorded, it is not the result of scientific excavation. In addition, to a large extent, it is carried out for the purpose of stealing treasures, so the significance and value of the data are greatly reduced, causing serious damage to monuments and antiquities.

Xiangyang.

The heavy soldiers are tightly surrounded outside the city. The Beiyang army is under the city.

The military situation is urgent. When things get to this point, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent. Thinking of this, Liu Jing ordered the guards to close the doors and windows and began to draft a telegram to the Ezhou Military Committee: "... Persevere and calm, unite the army and the people, strictly reward and punish, vow to achieve the mission of being benevolent if you don't succeed."

The door opened, and Zhao Youcheng walked in quickly and hurriedly said to Liu Jing, "Lao Liu, there is no movement outside the city. It's not good!"

The Chief of Staff who came in behind Zhao Youcheng echoed: "Is it possible that the Beiyang Army is going to attack the city tonight?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room only felt stunned, as if the roof was pressing on them. In an instant, the earth roared and shook the earth.

Zhao Youcheng roared and shouted, "It's really a siege!"

Liu Jing dropped his pen and ran to the window and pushed the window open. He scolded at the firelight of the window and scolded, "Mom, I haven't seen such a situation before. It's crazy!"

Zhao Youcheng stepped forward and squeezed to the window and said, "I'm fooled. The Beiyang army is still attacking the west gate."

The huge roar swallowed up all the sound.

Liu Jing shook the phone number of the defenders of the West City. The city defense is still there, but the situation is very tight.

"Look at the two of us, which one will go to the West City?" Liu Jing put down the phone and asked.

Zhao Youcheng was obviously impatient to beat the spurs on his boots with a whip and said, "Let's go to the front line to have a look. The only way to judge the war situation is to see the actual combat troops. Let's go."

Liu Jing agreed. The two quickly walked out of the headquarters and walked to the intersection. They heard gunfire not far away. The sudden sound of gunfire over there made his heart burn. I don't know how the war is going over there. Whether it can still withstand the waves of attacks of the Beiyang Army.

"I'll go there and have a look," Zhao Youcheng said concisely, pointing to the most inspiring direction of the gunfire. "Let's go."

When they arrived near the West City, the shells roared over their heads, and the others fell to the ground, but the two of them stared at the destruction and did not care about the explosion.

Suddenly, Liu Jing only felt the hot air waves suddenly swept after two short and violent explosions. Although he was dizzy, he could still directly and truly feel the heat wave mixed with flames.

"We are all here." Liu Jing pointed to the fortifications and shouted, "If we are united, we will definitely be able to defend Xiangyang."

Revolutionary Army soldiers near the West City were shocked by their fearlessness. This is not a bluff. They just stood up straight and calm. Others are in awe of the image of Liu Jing and Zhao Youcheng, and they no longer flinch every time they explode.
