Chapter 117 Jiro Sato 1

While Zhao Dongzhi was quietly looking at it, Zhao Dongyun behind the desk also put down his thin brush, and then looked up at Zhao Dongzhi, his cousin, before he stood up.

At this time, Zhao Dongyun was wearing light summer clothes as usual. When he stood up and walked towards the sofa, Zhao Dongzhi also got up quickly.

Zhao Dongyun first said, "Are you still used to this month?"

Zhao Dongzhi said, "It's all good, much better than when he was in Japan!"

Zhao Dongyun nodded and agreed with his words. These days, Chinese students have gone thousands of miles to study. No matter what their final grades are, this process is extremely difficult. First of all, the traditional living habits are incompatible with Western living habits, and then the 'discrimination' that makes mathless children feel suffocating. This Discrimination may be described as racial discrimination in Europe and the United States, and ethnic discrimination in Japan, but in the final analysis, it is because China in this era is too backward.

If only backward foreigners will not discriminate against you like this. Compared with the poor countries in the world, there are many countries in the world, but China is still famous for its ignorance in the world. If you jump again, you will be a zombie in Hong Kong films, which is enough. The kind that stops children from cicing at night...

The only thing that can comfort the Chinese people is the so-called 5,000-year history.

The Chinese people before and after Gengzi are really proud!

It's okay to stay in China and be arrogant. However, when it comes to foreign countries, if you see how big the world is and know what civilization and freedom are, ten * will have a serious sense of inferiority, and then from this sense of inferiority, the idea of wanting to change China arises. Well, most of the patriotic students in the late Qing Dynasty It is formed in this way, but some people want to reform from the top down, that is, the so-called constitutionalists, while others want to completely change all domestic rules and re-establish new rules. These are the so-called revolutionary parties.

When Zhao Dongzhi was studying abroad, he felt the discrimination of his long braids from the civilized world, so like other international students, he should wear the West, cut off his braids, and try to dress himself as a member of the civilized world.

But that kind of discrimination from outsiders has always existed. When the inferiority complex reached the extreme, he found that even the smile of others would be a kind of irony.

The Chinese people in this era lack not guns and steel, but self-confidence!

Why did the students change so much before and after studying abroad in the late Qing Dynasty is inseparable from the various situations they suffered during the study abroad period.

"You get used to it first, and then your military career will be much harder!" Zhao Dongyun continued: 'I have already arranged it in Baoding. You can go to Baoding later. Get familiar with it first, and enter the rapid martial arts school next month!"

Zhao Dongzhi had been psychologically prepared for this, and there was no surprise at the first time, but said, "I know!"

Although he is a cousin, to be honest, he is not very familiar with a group of cousins such as Zhao Dongyun and Zhao Dongzhi. Since he applied for Tianjin Military Academy in 1895, he went to stay in Germany. Even after returning to China, he has spent most of his time in Baoding and Jinzhou. It can be said that he has been seeking outside for nearly ten years. In the past ten years, he has returned to Xuzhou only a handful of times.

In recent years, when he first returned to China, he returned to Xuzhou and lived for half a month. Later, he has never returned to Xuzhou. In fact, this situation is not only Zhao Dongyun, but also most officials. For example, once those civil servants embark on official careers, unless they are dismissed or Retired or Dingyou, otherwise there will be no chance to return to your hometown to live.

Zhao Dongyun didn't spend much time in his hometown in Xuzhou, and his memory of his cousins and relatives of the Zhao family was limited to his childhood memories and letters.

Like Zhao Dongzhi, he only met him a few times. Once when he first returned to China, the second time was when he arranged for them to study in Japan, and the third time he met when Zhao Dongzhi came to serve him with letters after returning to China.

I don't know much about this, and naturally I don't have much of this. I just asked a few rough questions about how I'm doing and whether there are any problems in life, that is, to let him go to Baoding to study after preparation, and then waved his hand to let him out.

Although the meeting was only a short ten-minute meeting, Zhao Dongzhi was still a little nervous after he came out. Although the two were only one year apart, they also went to private schools when they were young. Zhao Dongyun did not seem to be so nervous in the previous private meetings, as if Zhao Dong at those times Zhi couldn't believe that this third brother was already the Beiyang boss who controlled more than 10,000 new troops and controlled the northeast.

But today's Zhao Dongyun's formal meeting in such an office occasion made Zhao Dongzhi feel the pressure and power from Zhao Dongyun for the first time

Although Zhao Dongyun smiled and spoke very kindly, his words were very serious and spoke in the tone of his elders.

In terms of Zhao Dongyun's position, only a few domestic political leaders such as Yuan Shikai and Prince Gong can speak in the tone of his younger generation, as well as Zhao's mother and several uncles. The former is a gap in status, while the latter is driven by filial piety.

Even if Zhao Dongyun speaks in the tone of ordinary generations, such as several other bigwigs in Beiyang, as well as those domestic governors, governors, admirals and cabinet ministers in Beijing. On the ground of Fengtian, Zengqi can make friends with his ordinary generation, and the others are respectfully shouted. 'Lord Zhao'.

After a long time, this habit of speaking is naturally more and more accustomed to the above-ranking. This habit is not deliberate, and even Zhao Dongyun himself can't detect it, but outsiders can indeed feel it clearly.

Standing in front of Zhao Dongyun, his cousin, makes Zhao Dongzhi feel more nervous than standing in front of his father!

After going out, Zhao Dongzhi took a deep breath, and then Li San greeted him without taking two steps. He first said, "I'll go to see my seventh brother later. Mr. Li will remember to reward the face in the evening!"

Li San smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'll definitely be there in the evening!"

The two made an appointment for an evening banquet. Zhao Dongzhi went out first. He was ready to go to find Zhao Dongping again. In the face of Zhao Dongyun, his cousin, he was very restrained, but he had no feeling in the face of Zhao Dongping, a cousin who was several years younger than him, and he was his brother and played with him a lot.

When Zhao Dongzhi went out, Li San also appeared in Zhao Dongyun's office again. At this time, Zhao Dongyun did not return to work at the desk, but continued to sit on the sofa. At this time, Li San made tea for Zhao Dongyun and said, "That Sato Jiro Here we go again!"

"Oh? Why are you here again?" After Zhao Dongyun heard the name Sato Jiro, he frowned. He didn't like this day.

"I heard that he went to Baoding specially and recruited a lot of people as surveying and mapping personnel, and there are also many students from our Beiyang Surveying and Mapping School!" Li San continued: This time, I came here to provide us with the convenience of horses and weapons!"

After hearing this, Zhao Dongyun looked even worse. Sato Jiro, a lieutenant colonel of the Japanese army, was secretly sent to the northeast by the Japanese army to collect Russian military intelligence. In March and April, he was very active in Jinzhou. Moreover, in addition to spying on the news of the Russian army, he also recruited bandits in the northeast to destroy the Russian army.

Originally, Zhao Dongyun didn't have much feelings about this. After all, the two armies were fighting in the northeast. It was normal for the two sides to spy on the news and destroy each other. Sato Jiro did not know what means he used to recruit more than 200 bandits in the Liaohe River, and also had close contacts with Feng Delin and others, frequent attacks. Destroy Russian military strongholds and supply lines.

This has brought great diplomatic trouble to Zhao Dongyun. The Russian army has repeatedly asked Zhao Dongyun to strictly control the Chinese people on the map west of the Liaohe River not to join the war. In fact, this is nothing. Japan himself attracted the bandits for destruction, and the Russians also attracted many bandits to beat Japan himself. Even the Russians directly attracted Zhao Dongyun.

So the so-called diplomatic protest can be ignored directly, but even if Jiro Sato's men destroyed Japan himself, they even robbed him of Zhao Dongyun. Last month, a batch of arms he secretly transported to the Russians were robbed by the bandits pulled by Jiro Sato.

Although it has not been found that the goods are Zhao Dongyun's, but regarded as Russian goods, this kind of robbery of human property and cutting off people's wealth is absolutely unbearable.

So although it is not easy for Zhao Dongyun to come up in this matter, he still secretly ordered Lv Shuanggun and Shiyang, two cavalry units of bandits, to carry out large-scale clean-up operations in the Liaohe area. In the name of suppressing bandits, he often returned to the tricks of bandits to play black and attack the bandits around Liaohe River. At the same time, Feng Delin, who was relatively close to Japan, also suffered a small loss.

Originally, this matter was over in Zhao Dongyun's view. Although he had no good impression on Sato Jiro, many things could not be put on the table. Zhao Dongyun did not intend to take any large-scale revenge for this small loss.

But now that Sato Jiro has not recruited the bandits. He also went to Baoding to find Yuan Shikai directly for all kinds of Russian military intelligence, and even recruited many active-duty officers from Beiyang to enter the northeast to spy on the Russian army. Historically, Wu Peifu, who had just graduated from the Surveying and Mapping School, was secretly dispatched as a North Western active-duty officer. In Japan's spy troops, he assisted Japan to spy on a lot of news about the Russian army.

Now, although Wu Peifu is no longer among them, Yuan Shikai also helped Japan form a spy force to spy intelligence.

From this point, we can see that the party supported by China during the Russo-Japanese War, whether it is the main war faction or the main peace faction, whether it is Zhang Zhidong or Yuan Shikai, although they have different views, they generally supported Japan in the Russo-Japanese War.

And this situation is very unfavorable for Zhao Dongyun, who wants to fish in troubled waters!
