197 thieves shout to catch thieves

Li wanted to walk into the office of the Military Commission, but in the early spring season, he actually felt a little hot in the room.

Li wanted to release the Fengji buckle and told the guard, "Find out the big fan I used last summer."

What the guard gave him was a new fan. Li Xiang flashed the fan, and the new fan still carried the fragrance of plants.

"Last year's one was not very good." Li wanted to ask.

The guard said, "That one is broken. Throw it away."

"It's a waste." Li wanted to say to himself unhappily, "That one is still very useful..."

Now Hubei District is engaged in a big construction, and a lot of people are paying out! He also began to become frugal.

On the table in front of him is an important decree about to be promulgated by the revolutionary regime in Hubei: the Law on the Land Reform of the National Revolutionary Government of Hubei. Land reform in the Yofa-ruled area of Ezhou, with a population of 50 million, is an earth-shaking event in the New Republic of China. This decree clearly stipulates the guiding ideology and implementation method of land reform.

Although it is only a preliminary land reform to reduce rents and interest rates in the Third Five-Year Plan, the rural productivity has also been unprecedentedly liberated. This is a festival for the poor. Li wants to receive more than 300,000 letters of thanks from farmers, thousands of which are written in blood.

Another document is the Instructions and Interim Measures on Relief for Unemployed Workers issued in the name of the Hubei District Council eight days ago. The war in 1911 and the natural and man-made disasters in the former Qing Dynasty brought devastating damage to the economy of Hubei. The problem of people's food and clothing needs to be solved urgently. The first thing needed is food. The parliament passed the decision to take out 100 million catties of grain to alleviate the urgent need. I don't know if it's a drop in the bucket.

At the same time, all the important industrial economies in Hubei are controlled by the Xinhua Consortium, thus ensuring the dominance of the first five-year plan economy in the national economy of Hubei, which plays a huge role in restoring the wounds of war and the national economy.

The parliament also issued a series of decrees on social reform, such as the Law on Equality between Men and Women, the Law on the Eight-hour Work System, etc., so that the Chinese people can feel the unprecedented sunshine in the sky in Hubei.

There is also an investigation report on the table about the British McMahon and the Japanese Aoki Wenjiao and the Tibetan Danai Living Buddha secretly forming a "goodwill delegation" to go to Britain, Japan and other countries to ask foreign forces to support the "Independence of Tibet".

When Danai entered Tibet last year, Aoki planned to try to enter Tibet with the Danai Lama, but the British and Indian government was very wary of the two "uninvited guests" from Japan. They did not allow their entry requirements to Tibet, but strengthened their surveillance. The hope of Aoki and Danai Lama to enter Tibet was in failure. Unexpectedly, after only a year, the two invaders were together in collusion. The activities of Tibetan reactionary forces to seek "independence" are increasing day by day.

"This is a serious struggle task." Li wanted to talk to himself.

When Li wanted to continue to see a report on the seriousness of banditry in the Northwest Military Region, his mood began to be dull.

Although the northwest banditry was expected by Li, you should know that there are still about 400,000 scattered soldiers and bandits of the former Qing Dynasty scattered in remote areas of the country. Xinjiang, Gansu and Qinghai have always been areas with serious bandits and prominent ethnic mao shields. According to the report of the Northwest Military Region, from the beginning of last year, bandits began to **. These bandits spread rumors that Yuan Shikai was about to come back, and the new regime could not grow up, so they threatened the masses, destroyed traffic, and robbed supplies. They killed more than 2,000 government and military workers. After a year of fighting against bandits last year, although most of the bandits were annihilated, there were still many leakers hiding. The second revolution broke out. Once the war with Yuan Shikai started, this was the big trouble of the Hubei District Government.

Li wanted to hold the fan and fan it fiercely. The dry heat dissipated, and he felt a little cool. After all, it was still early spring. Put down the fan, walk out of the room, and take a walk in the yard.

In Jiangcheng in early spring, the sky is blue and the grass is fresh. The Military Commission is located in the former Huguang Governor's Office. The green pine and cypress trees in the ancient garden are more than 100 years old.

Li Xiang didn't take a few steps, so he heard the guard whisper behind him, "Marshal, the notice issued by the Shanghai Ministry of Transport..."

The content of the notice is: "The funeral of Mr. Song, the acting chairman of the party, and the party members are entangled with black yarn and mourn."

Li Xiang was not surprised by the secret gun that happened at Shanghai Station. However, a problem that he has been nervous about planning and preparing for this is still making General Li think deeply about it. This is: the second revolution is imminent!

......

Sun Yat-sen and his entourage visited Nagasaki with great interest. They arrived in this beautiful coastal city in the northwest of Kyushu Island yesterday. At this moment, they have just visited the Nagasaki Shipyard of Mitsubishi Ocean Bank and are preparing to attend the Nagasaki Mayor's dinner.

Sun Yat-sen sometimes bowed his head to admire the green trees and red flowers in the park, and sometimes looked up at the red sails bathed in the sea, smiling comfortably. The beautiful Miss Song followed him quietly like this.

"Sir," Ma Junwu held the myopic glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "This time I accompanied you and walked a lot of places in Japan. I found that there are your friends everywhere."

"Yes! Since I organized the Revolutionary Party, I have been through and exiled more than ten times. Sun Yat-sen said emotionally.

"But only this time it is dignified. Yuan Shikai gave you 20,000 yuan to come to Japan as the General Office of the Railway. The Japanese government respects you as a state guest and has a good gift. Haha..." He Tianjiong saw that Sun Yat-sen was in a good mood, so he said jokingly.

"The sunrise has passed, and another day has passed." Dai Jitao, who had never said anything, looked at the sunset in the sea and said with emotion, "It's almost a month and a half since our investigation."

Hearing this, Sun Yat-sen couldn't help but move his heart. He quickly restrained his smile, closed his eyes from a distance, and said affectionately, "The years have passed. I resigned from the temporary president, and it's almost the full anniversary." Ma Junwu smiled and said, "Sir, you have changed a lot in the past year. People say that Mr. Sun used to be a revolution, but now he is talking about the railway. Your mind is all on those two railway tracks. Hahaha..."

"You're right." After listening to this, Sun Yat-sen raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up, and smiled knowingly. Just as they entered the city government's welcome hotel talking and laughing, an unexpected thing happened

.

A postman took out a telegram and handed it to Sun Yat-sen in his hands.

Sun Yat-sen glanced at the cover of the telegram, smiled and said, "It's Huang Xing's call. There must be good news!" After saying that, he said, "chir", tore open the seal, pulled out the message and read it.

Suddenly, Sun Yat-sen's smile suddenly disappeared, and his face shone with red light. His hand holding the message trembled slightly. Sun Yat-sen looked flat, lowered his hands, and walked out of the door with heavy footsteps.

The acute Ma Junwu quickly followed and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Sun Yat-sen then turned around and handed the note to Ma Junwu. Ma Junwu hurriedly unfolded. He Tianjiong and Dai Jitao came forward and looked at the message - "Song Jiaoren was assassinated at Shanghai Station on the evening of the 20th. After rescue, he died on the morning of the 22nd."

"Ah!"

The bad news was like a bolt from the blue, and all three of them were stunned.

......

When Yuan Shikai took a nap, his secretary and others rushed to the news of Song Jiaoren's death.

Yuan Shikai just had a smile on the corners of his mouth, and immediately turned into a stunned expression and said, "Is there such a thing? Bring the telegram quickly."

The secretary picked up a beam of telegrams. It was Chen Yifan's first telegram, Huang Keqiang's first telegram, and Jiang Kong Yin's first telegram.

Yuan Shikai said with great regret, "What's wrong with this? The Kuomintang lost Song Dunchu and lost a reasonable leader. It will be more and more difficult to speak in the future.

Yuan Shikai believes that the assassination of Song Jiaoren is seamless and will never be known. He couldn't help smiling, thinking that he had gone to a political enemy gently and easily, but on the surface he pretended to be a "bad pillar". He ordered his secretary to draft a telegram, draft a preferential order, and deal with Song Jiaoren's affairs. He pretended to use these to dilute Song Jiaoren's tragic death. His condolences:

"Song Jun died, and Hao Shenghao sighed! At present, the key is to pay a heavy reward, quickly find the real murderer, and thoroughly investigate. Song Jun's talent is excellent, he serves the Republic of China, and he has many achievements. He knows and doesn't know, all of which are sad. I hope to take care of all the matters behind you with Zhong Wenyao. The cost of mourning should be a legitimate expense in order to pay for it.

Yuan Shikai also issued an order saying: "Yesterday, according to Song Jiaoren, the former governor of Agriculture and Forestry, he was shot and seriously injured by a traitor at a Shanghai station on the evening of the 20th. Immediately, Cheng Dequan, the governor of the Yangtze River, Ying Dehong, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Shanghai local officials, and the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Terminal, offered heavy rewards for the murderers, and sent Chen Yifan to express their condolences. According to Chen's telegram, the former president of Song died of his injuries on the 22nd. In the new construction of the Republic of China, it is extremely difficult for talents. The murderer dares to shoot at Xunliang in full view of the public. The patrolman did not seize him on the spot and was able to escape. Song Jiaoren, the former governor of agriculture and forestry, has made great contributions to national affairs and created a republic. After the establishment of a unified government, he praised Xiang's state affairs. He was especially able to understand the general situation, draw hard, and show his grandeur in the future. How could he hear about the tragic change? All my people are deeply melancholy."

He sent two telegrams to Cheng Dequan: First, he ordered "to quickly catch the real murderer, pursue the master's name, be sure, and deal with it strictly according to the law", and hypocritically condemn the wind of assassination; second, send troops to Huang Xing, a revolutionary party, etc. to "proportunely protect him, so as to be cautious".

He also ordered the imperial newspaper to create rumors within the Kuomintang in order to divert attention.

Yuan Shikai's orders passed on one by one.

"Father," Yuan Keding limped in and said with a smile, "Look who's here?"

Following Yuan Keding is the Consul General of the Foreign Mission in the Eastern Suburbs!

"My friend, you did a good job!" Zhu Andian said, "You are so beautiful!"

"You've come well."

Yuan Shikai was praised by Zhu Andian. He immediately pulled Zhu Andian to the small secret room of his presidential palace, talked quietly, and asked, "Song Jiaoren was stabbed at Shanghai Station. Did you hear anything?"

"Who can't see that you did it?" Zhu Erdian smiled and said, "The Germans, Russians, Japanese, and the envoys in the eastern suburbs said that you can do it. After all, you have made trouble with the Kuomintang."

Yuan Shikai's face was a little ugly. He thought he had done top secret things, but he didn't expect that the whole world knew about it. Because he said, "You actually know, and you should know the consequences of this matter. If you don't support me, this is a little bad."

"Don't worry." Zhu Andian patted Yuan Shikai on the shoulder and said, "I'm here to come to you for this matter. Yuan, you really have a thunder on the ground, and you're going to make a big splash!" I'll tell you," he lowered his voice. "This time, I'm here to tell you that the representatives of the International Banking Group met in London and have drawn up the conditions for a big loan aftermath. In addition to the representatives of the four consortia of the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Germany, the participants of this London conference also included representatives of the banks of Russia and Japan. These situations show that the attitude of Russia and Japan towards the four-nation banking group, which used to be fiercely opposed to the aftermath of big loans, is changing, and their financial capital is embarking on the road of cooperation with the four-nation banking group..."

"Supervision problem?" Yuan Shikai asked at the key point.

"It can be slightly relaxed... Set up an independent audit office to supervise the country's expenditure; hire foreign consultants from the audit office, the National Bank, the Salt Administration, finance, transportation and other departments."

"The conditions are not bad! You know, I am not completely opposed to foreign supervision of the use of loans, but I don't agree that the supervision power is entirely controlled by foreigners; I am willing to seek an agreement with the banks of the six countries on the basis of allowing foreigners to participate in supervision. At this time, Yuan Shikai urgently needed the funding of the banking group of the six countries and pleaded, "Can you advance five million pounds as soon as possible and three million pounds a month in the future?"

"The number is so huge, of course, it is impossible for the Group of the Bank of Six countries to agree." Zhu Andian laughed and said, "Yuan, how many things can you take out as collateral for such a large amount?"

Yuan Shikai fell down on the sofa in disappointment and muttered, "What's the mortgage? Then how much money can you pay?"

"Of course, the number is within your mortgage ability," Zhu Erdian smiled and walked over. "Representatives of the Six-nation consortium met in London to consider a draft agreement to provide aftercare loans to China, and the total amount of loans were determined to be 25 million pounds. The banking group of the six countries proposed to pay an advance of 2 million pounds to China in the second half of this month, on the condition that Cliff's loan must be cancelled and the aftermath loan contract must be signed.

"Can you make it faster?" Yuan Shikai is more eager to make a final agreement as soon as possible.

"If it's not okay, the conditions will be more harsh." Zhu Andian laughed in a low voice.

"Typ about it." Yuan Shikai's urgent need for borrowing has been ignored.

"The borrowing interest rate has been increased from 5% to 5%." Zhu Andian said lightly.

Yuan Shikai took a cold breath. For a long time, he said with a breath, "No problem!"

"There is courage!" Zhu Andian laughed and suddenly said, "Yuan, now, you should prove that as the spokesperson of the great powers, we have not chosen you wrong."

"Isn't it enough to kill Song Jiaoren?"

"Of course," Zhu Andian said, "How can 25 million pounds be delivered to the door obediently? They have indeed seen that you have made enough money this time and want to make a difference. In the past, the Qing Dynasty looked down on it. In order to find a spokesperson for China, you pretend to be a republic. They can understand this, so today is the president! We will never allow the revolutionary party and government. We should carry out a southern expedition on the condition that the counter-revolution will destroy the revolution without any counter-offer!"

"Of course," Yuan Shikai said, "If the Kuomintang is in power, it will be the end of the world for me. Of course, it is also extremely unfavorable for Britain, which has close business relations with China. Because the Kuomintang is opposed to the righteousness of the empire, this is worthy of the attention of the great powers, especially Britain.

"This doesn't need to be explained!" Zhu Andian opened his heart and laughed, "My personal opinion is exactly the same as yours. However, you should know that there are two points about the policies of the great powers towards China: one is that they do not want China to be annexed by one or two ambitious countries, so they must maintain a balance of power in China; the other is that they do not want to see China become a strong country and want China to maintain the status quo. Since the success of the Chinese revolution, all European countries have been wary and are afraid of China's expansion of national power. Therefore, they hope to maintain the balance of power through large loans and supervise China's finances. We don't want China to borrow our money to cultivate our strength and expel us, so the purpose of borrowing must be specified and supervised, and the southern revolutionaries must be wiped out. Haha..."

......

Yuan Shikai never dreamed that the case of assassinated Song was solved in only three or four days.

At the location of the assassination of Song Jiaoren, Yuan Shikait was selected in Shanghai, which is also the base camp of the Kuomintang. Yuan Shikai thought that after such an arrangement, the results of the Song case could not be found, and the leaders of the Kuomintang would be suspicious of each other and divided. Not only will the party cabinet be wiped out, but the Kuomintang will also be depressed and can no longer be an enemy of itself.

However, it was Yuan Shikai's expectation that Wang Afa, a man from Henan who bought and sold antique calligraphy and paintings, offered a huge reward and went to the central arresting house of the Fourth Road to report the crime, which brought the terrible political murder case to light and the truth came out.

Wang Afa said in the arresting room, "Ten days ago, I sold antiques at Ying Guixin's house in Wenyuanfang. Because he was my old customer, he was very familiar with him. On that day, Ying took a photo and asked me to assassinate this person at a certain place. After Xu Yicheng happened, he gave me 1,000 yuan as a reward. Because I only knew how to do business, I never killed him. People, so they refuse to bear this matter. At that time, I didn't know who was in the photo. Today, I saw a picture of Mr. Song in the newspaper. It was the person that Ying Guixin asked me to assassinate. I believe that if I find Ying, I can find the murderer.

In the evening, in the Shanghai Concession, when it was lively, the lights were shining and the sound of cars were rolling. In addition to pedestrians and passengers, all the rich and young red waiters were in the limelight here, and the exchanges were endless. In the area of Qinghefang and Yingchunfang, I especially felt that the cars and horses were full of traffic, and the voices were loud. This family is a famous prostitute who picks up guests, selling laughter and show off. That family is a guest who came to the hall and cheered happily. There are also several nobles who surrender early, and the banquet has been opened. They are either guessing and drinking, or playing and singing, and the orchestra is mixed, and the shoes are mixed.

Suddenly, several red-headed patrols came to block the entrance of Yingchun Square three or four. Seeing the general patrol Bros, he and the chief inspector of the West, he took the patrolman and others into the middle. When he got to the head of Li Guiyu's brothel, he stood together.

Another figure in a suit went straight into the brothel and asked loudly. When it was followed by the turtle slave, the word "Brother Kui Cheng" was heard.

Turtle Nu said, "Do you have to come to see the elder?"

The man nodded to him, and the turtle slave said, "Master Ying is drinking upstairs."

The man didn't wait to finish talking, so he strode upstairs and said repeatedly, "Ying Kui Chengjun! There is someone downstairs, please talk to me.

There was a man standing up on the seat, about 40 years old, with a drunken face and a hidden murderous atmosphere, and replied, "Who looks at me?"

The man said, "Please go downstairs and know it."

Ying Kuicheng then walked downstairs and walked to the head of the door. Mr. Bu opened his mouth and said, "Are you Ying Kuicheng? Go! Go! Go!"

Passing by the patrol, Ying Kuicheng was about to be involved and went to the general inspection room together.

"What's going on?" Ying Kui Cheng shouted in fear: "What's going on?"

......

The next day, he continued to search Ying's house in Wenyuanfang, and caught the murderous warrior Ying in the house, who shot and snipered Song Jiaoren at the station. At the same time, he found many secret books and correspondence between Ying Guixin and Hong Shuzu, the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a five-shot pistol, and many other pieces of other evidence.
