Near the Liujia Temple in Hankou, at this time, it was the moon star sparse, rolling in the Yangtze River, and the waves slapped on the rock, splashing layers of snow-white waves.

A small boat is shuttling between the peaks and valleys of the river. There was a man standing in the bow of the boat, trying to look forward, trying to find the agreed signal.

I don't know how long it took, I saw a light on a beach. Through the fog on the surface of the river, it was projected loomingly. Several sailors on the ship were so energetic that they quickly rowed and walked towards the place where the lights were on.

After a while, the boat had approached, and more than a dozen short and strong men jumped off the shore. Looking at their legs in Cairo, they were like the small East Ocean. They silently stepped on the water and dragged the boat all the way to the beach. Look at their neat movements, as if they all came out of the regular army.

The two people on the ship had already been stunned by the waves just now. They were half supported by the sailors before they got off the boat. When the two horse lanterns lit up, I saw a middle-aged man in a dress and two men in Chinese robe-style casual clothes greeted him: "Mr. Chibian! Mr. Migu!"

The two people on the ship arrived in Shanghai secretly on the Japanese merchant ship Hokokumaru, and then turned into the boat to sneak into the Yangtze River. Yoshitaro Ikebe and Yoneya Yoshizo, who specialize in sports in China.

They were greeted by Chang'an Yingyan, the acting consul of Hankou. The two long-shirted figures were elected by the Standing Council of the Oriental Concession Residents Association, the President of the People's Assembly of Miyakegawa Baitaro and the Speaker of the Executive Committee of Danyu Yoshitsugu.

Seeing that the two pillars they sent from Japan were pale and their footsteps floated down. Miyakegawa Baitaro and Niba Yoshiji both choked their throats and hurriedly bowed deeply: "Your Excellency, I'm looking forward to you!"

Masao Matsumura, Consul General of Hankou, Zenjiro Nakamura, the commander of the Garrison of Hankou, and Rejiro Kawashima, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Third Fleet in China, the commander-in-chief of the five-nation Joint Fleet, have collectively smashed 1,500 Japanese troops stationed in Hankou. All this is because of a Li madman. Now Beiyang is retreating, and Li crazy is about to return to Hankou. These small Dongyang in Hankou are like glory.

Yoneya Yoshizo can still hold some hands. Ikebe Yoshitaro has been in Japan for eight years. In those years, Ikebe Yoshitaro came to Han and witnessed the prosperity of other concessions. He deeply felt the desolation of the Japanese concessions and could not adapt to the needs of competing with European and American countries in Central China. After returning to China, Ikebian called on the Japanese government and the opposition to pay attention to the construction of the Hankou Japanese Concession, and urged the Japanese government to come forward to operate.

Through the efforts of Yoshitaro Ikebe and others, with the gradual deepening of the construction of the Japanese Concession, the Japanese Concession began to become the center for Japan to acquire cheap raw materials and local special products in China and sell imported industrial products. The business scale of Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Nisshin, Nisshin and other companies is getting bigger and bigger. The shipping business of Osaka Merchant Shipping Company, Japan Post Shipping Company, Dadong Steam Shipping Company, Hunan Steam Shipping Company and other shipping companies is also very prosperous. In 1907, the Japanese government merged the above companies into Nissin Company, becoming one of the six major shipping companies monopolizing Yangtze River shipping. In order to expand predatory trade, Japan has also opened financial institutions such as Yokohama Shokin Bank to absorb a large amount of deposits and support the operation of Japanese foreign banks. In order to strengthen news publicity, the Japanese also founded Hanbao and Hankou Daily. But after all, Hankou is too far away from the Japanese mainland, which is the collective jade smashing incident of Sadao Matsumura and others.

Japanese ambitionists think that there is an opportunity for the Chinese revolution, and there are many people who advocate sending troops to interfere. On the 6th of October, Ishimoto Shinliu, the land minister, ordered the Nagoya Third Division to select a battalion of infantry within the thirty-third and fifty-one standards of the infantry, and a team of machine gun teams (750 soldiers) to form a mixed team. They set out from Yupin on Huataimaru and arrived at Qinhuang Island on the 30th. The guard commander Abe Shao The command will be assigned to Beijing, Tianjin, Shanhaiguan and other places. At the same time, 13,000 troops were sent to land from Liushutun, Dalian Bay, Fengtian (now Liaoning). However, in Hankou, only 500 people were transferred to the army as an excuse to protect the concession.

It shows that the Japanese government and the opposition are still not very good at the Hankou Concession. In response to Li Xiang's return to Hankou, Japan only sent Ikebe Yoshitaro and Migu Jizang to Hankou.

Acting Consul Chang'an Yingyan looked at the greeting scene with a gloomy face. He just snorted softly.

Yoshitaro Ikebe made a salute to Hidehiko Chang'an: "Mr. Chang'an, although we are back. But Japan no longer has the power of the Qing Dynasty in Hankou, everything about us. I have to rely on you more.

Chang'an Yingyan squeezed out a smile and bowed slightly: "In Hankou, we have to support each other no matter what. As long as we have confidence, Mr. Chibian, we will definitely wait for the opportunity we want!"

Japan's consistent policy towards China is to incite civil strife and undermine the unity of China. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the row was full of revolution, and Japan actually assisted and provided funds for equipment. However, he does not sympathize with the Chinese revolution. Its real purpose is to want China to divide and kill each other for a long time, so that he can reap the benefits of fishermen. During the Xinhai Revolution, Japan assisted Sun Huang and helped the Manchu Qing Dynasty resist the Democratic Party. At both ends, they each got the price of manipulation and interference. Once the Xinhai Revolution broke out, Japan believed that the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits had arrived, and the inside story of the Democratic Party movement was also best known to Japan. At the beginning of the Battle of Chengdu, the Japanese Ministry of the Army sent Jijiro Saito, a veteran who invaded China, to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to investigate. When he arrived in Hankou, he was in the middle of the Wuchang uprising. The Japanese government sent two more secret groups to Shanghai to assist the Democratic Party, but when the revolutionary movement gradually expanded, Tokyo was obviously full of unpleasant air. In November, Japanese newspapers began to interfere.

At that time, the diplomatic community suspected that Japan had sent troops or intervened for the purpose of intervention, but the original agreement of concerted action of the Beijing diplomatic corps was not allowed to interfere alone, and Medet paid attention to it. Although Britain is in close contact with the alliance and virtue, there is no excuse for the actions of the civilian army. Li Xiang's only handle will be resolutely abandoned by the alliance, so he returned to nothing.

Maybe this time, there will be an excuse for the Ossie powers to have nothing to say...

"Has Wang Zhanyuan been really eliminated by the Li Crazy Revolution?" Yoshitaro Ikebe asked fixedly, which was also the topic he was most concerned about.

During the melee in the Hankou Dongyang Concession, the revolutionary army platooned guns and bayonets. Until this time, the little Dongyang in its position often woke up from nightmares!

Chang'an Yingyan nodded with a strong smile: "Wang Zhanyuan, a mixed association, ended the whole army... But we absolutely can't give Li Xiang's revolutionary army back to the time until we can control the whole of Hubei... The Japanese government hopes that the Chinese government will ask it to use force to fight the revolution by force, not until Japan's interests are seriously damaged, Japan will refuse to take any action. Unless the great powers urge Japan to take action, the riots will continue to develop. The Japanese government is ready to take prompt and effective action, and Russia will not object. This is only about the Chinese headquarters. If the revolution reaches Manchuria, Japan and Russia will not discuss with the great powers and send troops immediately. Before any action of the great powers, 20,000 Japanese troops can reach Beijing. The 5,000 British troops in Hong Kong could not be transferred because they were afraid of Guangdong. I have asked the Acting Foreign Minister of Japan not to take action before consulting with the U.S. government. He allowed me to let him know in advance, and he also said that the status of Japan and the United States should take action. I believe that the Japanese general's independent action and Geipi's point of view is making Japan the future China. Those absolutely needed by the government. To create a new century that belongs to the East Asian continent, we can only rely on our Japanese friends across the sea. On this continent, we only need a little turbulence! Japan's army will cross the ocean and bet on the national fortune with China! And we will definitely win! The incompetent China is the sick man of East Asia. As long as you kick it at the door, the whole house will collapse... Mr. Chibian, Mr. Migu, the once-in-a-a-lifetime opportunity of the Empire of Japan is in front of us, and we need to work together!"

Yoshitaro Ikebe just nodded. Since Japan's Meiji Restoration, the prosperity of the country, the desperate training of the army, and the future interests of the empire that the whole country are clamoring will be shouted on the mainland, which has condensed this backward country into a fierce beast. Just waiting for the opportunity to get out of the cage, it has bit China fiercely in Jiawu, and the benefits immediately made Dongying, a barren island country, soar to the sky and become a world power and the number one in East Asia.

And ambition is endless. After tasting the sweetness, the greed of this island country will only become more crazy...

The meaning of Japan's interference is becoming more and more clear.

Chang'an Yingyan looked up and looked at the distance: "Mr. Chibian, let's go to Hankou and wait... Wait for an opportunity to make the Japanese Empire go to the mainland!"

In a sound of praise, Xue Yue quietly came to the Qianjialing battlefield. The fire of war was extinguished, but the scorched earth mixed with flesh and blood under his feet, the smoke of gunpowder floating around and the soldiers' mules and horse bones all over the mountains, still made the general who had experienced a hundred battles sad and happy, and the feelings came from it.

Since then, Qianjialing has been uninhabited and has become a haunted place for tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the north and south. For the Beiyang Army, it became a veritable death cemetery. A mixed association of the Beiyang Army turned into rotten soil in the wilderness of Hubei, accompanied by wind and rain.

The local people have fled, and the battlefield is a bleak scene. The battlefield is full of dead bones and broken munitions, and the atmosphere of the battlefield is very strong.

It is surrounded by about ten square kilometers, all of which are low mountains and jungles, and there are only a few small villages. The ten-square-kilometer land is covered with the tombs of the Beiyang Army and the Revolutionary Army. The heavy soldiers of the Beiyang Army can pick up the bones of horses, saddles, ammunition boxes, as well as gas cylinders, gas masks and other sundries in the newly developed experimental stage of foreigners.

A village in the northwest of Qianjialing, called Lei Minggu Liu Village, is surrounded by the largest number of Beiyang army tombs. Village east

In the rice field, the Beiyang Army has no more than five or six hundred soldiers and horses, and there are also many iron saddles.

Zhang Gushan is a commanding height. The two sides compete for hand-to-hand combat here. From the bones, we can see the intensity of the battle at that time...
