Chapter 242: The Emperor of Germany was attacked

The general inspection of Weiying Prefecture is a very strange position. On this newly expanded land, Yuan Shikai, the highest military and political chief, basically copied the domestic administrative system, including the inspection department responsible for public security. Huang Xing, who was born in Shanhua County, Changsha Prefecture, Hunan, was also the leader in the implementation team of the rear appeasement plan during the conquest war. Naturally, Yuan Shikai took a glance and transferred to Weiying Prefecture, the capital of Xinxiang Province, to assume the position of the highest in charge of local public security. He is also the youngest general inspection among all prefectures and counties in the country.

The reason why this position is strange is that its scope of authority not only includes local public security issues, but also has to shoulder the personal safety of all the two sects in the entire administration. At the same time, this general inspection position seems to have secret tasks independent of local administration and military affairs. Almost every month, Huang Keqiang has to take a small fishing boat and stay on the other side for three or five days under the cover of the navy. No one knows what he has done. It seems that only the Governor is qualified to ask about his whereabouts. Even his immediate boss, the prefect of Weiying Prefecture, Lord Qu Qing who returned from studying abroad in Britain, and the governor of Xinxiang and Xinchuan provinces of Xinxiang, Zuo Baogui, the second-ranked figure in the East China Sea area, is difficult to interfere with.

This kid seems to be responsible only to Yuan Jiantai.

This time, as usual, he went to the other side again, but there were a few more people. Huang Xing's mission was to lead these people who looked burly and didn't look like Chinese, and they always had a mysterious smile on their faces, looked as if they looked down upon others, and they didn't say anything.

There were nine people including him, and the other eight almost didn't talk to him along the way. The leader only introduced the names of their own personnel at the beginning of meeting, and the rest were gone. Huang Xing occasionally asked, but the responses he received were always incomprehensible smiles, and occasionally there was smoke from Western cigarettes.

From these places, we can see that these people must have been abroad. Over the years of criminal investigation work, Huang Xing has developed the habit of judging people, but he always feels that he is not suitable for this industry by nature, and his personality is too extroverted. Sometimes when I recall it, I always feel that he can get to this point, which seems to be a little smoother. Some colleagues compliment him that he will definitely be able to stand out in the Xingming industry in the future, and he always feels a little funny.

He took on the single-line mission of Yuan Shikai and the Military Intelligence Department of the Military Affairs Department for this reason. Personally, he would rather make a name for himself in military merit than be willing to be punished for the rest of his life. This is too tiring. Yuan Shikai promised him that after doing this trip, he would immediately tell him about his military merits. Not to mention it, he would be a major. In the past, he would be a general!

This temptation made him endure the contempt and superior appearance of these people not saying anything, but their expressions, behaviors, etc. were everywhere.

Sometimes when he is free, he will guess the identity, whereabouts, and tasks of these people. But there is no way to guess. The Governor's yamen just asked him to send these people to Osaka and hand them over to a Japanese. He has also seen this person named Sorgoro Sakada, and it seems that he is the person in charge of the Kansai region. In recent years, they have worked together to do several major events, such as the Osaka Governor Kenji Tanyama who wrote a letter to the cabinet to request the dethrone of the emperor a few years ago. They assassinated in public before the cabinet responded, earning a lot of people's hearts for the Tenkai Kingdom. There are also content such as escorting printed materials to Kyoto and distributing the Gifu generation, which are all things that he Huang Xing has participated in.

From these things and the daily communication with Yuan Shikai, Huang Kecheng could also guess what he was doing, just to help the general of Tianhai Kingdom create some momentum in Japan.

After this mode continues, the task of these eight people is almost revealed. However, this was originally what he was responsible for. Even if he wanted to add new staff, he should say hello to him. There is no need for these people to be so cold to him. Therefore, questions kept circling in his heart.

A few days later, he arrived in Osaka and handed over several people to Sorgoro Sakada. After a meal with a somewhat awkward atmosphere, Huang Xing returned in a bad mood. Along the way, he was still a little annoyed by his inexplicable errand. Who knew that what made him even more annoyed was that when he arrived at the Awaji Contact Station of Hyogo Prefecture, which was separated from the opposite Weiying Mansion, he arranged for the reception staff here to tell him that the navy had stopped its cruise and did not know when it would recover. Before that, he could only wait. There were no ships here, and if he had to wait for the ship to be sent out.

The martial law on the seas on the Seto Inland Sea and the Kii Peninsula for several years also caused all Japanese fishermen near this waterway to give up their fishing business. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, they could not even find half of the boat. The reason is very simple. When Yuan Shikai took over the East China Sea provinces, the navy was ordered to sink as long as they saw the Japanese ships.

Although this was a last resort policy to clear public order, and it was cancelled last year. However, the sequelae are still obvious. No one on the coastal Japanese dares to go out to sea to fish, and of course, fishing boats are useless waste.

The orders learned from the radio also proved that the person in charge of contact did not deceive him. Before the German Emperor visited Weiying Mansion two days later, the navy was on the voyage. In desperation, Huang Xing had to wait here.

The Weiying Mansion opposite the strait is naturally a school of singing and dancing to peace. Yuan Shikai not only has outstanding political achievements, but also has a good job in regulating the place, and he also does better than anyone else's face. He knows who he is coming. A compliment from the German Emperor spread to Beijing through the press, which is more useful than the Ministry of Personnel for five years.

On this basis, the success of the strategy formulated with the emperor will have a profound impact on his career. Back then, wasn’t it just a Korean strategy that cleaned North Korea and was promoted from a third-rank Taoist to a governor and a magistrate? Recently, it was reported in the court that the emperor intended to take charge of Southeast Asian affairs. It seems that it was also based on his ability to regulate the East China Sea in recent years.

If you work like this for a few years, it will not be that difficult to join the cabinet and become a minister. Yuan Shikai smiled while holding his beard in the Governor's Mansion. Looking back at the desolate and outdated capital in the past, who would have thought that Yuan Xiangcheng would be today?

"Have you sent all the letters to Mr. Xu Shichang and Lord Zhao Bingjun of the Military Department?" Seeing Master Guo Yanqing walking out of the signing room, Yuan Shikai, who was middle-aged, pondered slightly and asked with a smile.

"I've sent it all, but I'm a master..." Guo Yanqing is not very young and has a thin figure. Although he is a master, he doesn't look like a master at all. He is wearing a suit, with bright leather shoes, and is still from Shanghai Sky. He has no braids on his head and has short hair with spirit. He can tell at a glance that he is a more dignified person. He bent down to Yuan Shikai, who was wearing a long robe and jacket, bowed and bowed and replied: "I don't know if I should say anything or not..."

Yuan Shikai frowned and looked at the little fellow villager he had just used this year. Although this child is from Henan, he has not been in Henan for a long time. He has returned from Europe. He has taken risks. He originally planned to use him as a translator, but found that this person is quite good at affairs in various countries. He then acted as a servant. He did not use it much. It was just a few days ago that he advised that he should invite Emperor De to visit Weiying, which made Yuan Shikai see the use of this guy. So he improved his status. But he was young in the end and needed to be more useful.

This time, I asked him to send a letter to see his attitude and ability to deal with trivial matters. Unexpectedly, this person seemed to be asking for advice. Yuan Shikai became unhappy and sent two letters to the logistics department post road. He was so particular about it and became mysterious. He hummed and said quietly: "Sir, it's okay."

"I heard that Lord Zhao Bingjun has not been proud recently. The people from the Military Information Department stared at him very tightly. The letter seemed to be soliciting. Will it cause trouble?" Guo Yanqing did not see Yuan Shikai's displeasure, and still explained his views very considerately. His face was even a little lustful.

Yuan Shikai smiled. How could he have not considered these issues? He walked to Guo Yanqing's side with his hands behind his back and asked casually: "There are martial law on the streets? Come and take a look. It's Yanxia now, and there are people who want to help me." Yan Bi smiled and patted Guo Yanqing on the shoulder and walked out.

Guo Yanqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Yuan Shikai's back and followed.

Two days later.

The German fleet headed by the German Emperor's ship Brandenburg said goodbye to the escort fleet of the Qing Dynasty near Tsushima Island. What welcoming them was the Northeast Asian fleet of the Qing Dynasty Royal Navy, led by the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan ships built by Germany. They will be responsible for the security of the German Emperor's fleet in their own waters.

The fleet arrived at the Weiyingfu military port in the dusk. Major events happened at this moment.

The cruiser piloting ahead, the oldest Jingqing, unfortunately bumped into a black floating object floating on the sea, and an explosion occurred. While moving forward, it touched the second one. The two explosions caused a large water in the cabin, and the crew had to abandon the ship and escape.

The Navy immediately sent people to clean the water surface and collected fragments of the explosion for inspection.

The German Emperor's fleet landed on the harbor without any danger. Yuan Shikai was very embarrassed to welcome the German Emperor. Faced with Yuan Shikai's sincere apology, William II expressed his great disdain for not caring about it. When he first arrived here, he comforted Yuan Shikai, who was as white as paper.

Then he took a carriage and headed into the city. When he passed through Zhongzhou Town, a small village called Zhongzhou Village after being renamed, another shooting occurred. A German Emperor's escort was hit on the thigh on the spot, and blood flowed all over the ground. One of the frightened horses of the German Emperor's chariot was hit by the second gunshot. The carriage lost control and rushed out of the escort road, hitting the house on the side of the road before stopping.

After the embarrassing Emperor reprimanded him angrily, he held his red face and said nothing, and then he roared into Yuan Shikai's carriage. The poor Yuan Shikai arranged to arrest people while apologizing. It was not until the two Japanese arrested were escorted in front of him that the Emperor's face looked a little better.

The two of them quickly swallowed the medicine and committed suicide, but the guns on their shoulders and the Japanese letters on their bodies betrayed their identities. Although the contents of the letters were translated to declare that their actions had nothing to do with the government and the military, who would believe these words at this moment?

After the angrily German Emperor arrived at the Governor's Office in Weiying City, he realized that this was definitely not an isolated operation. News came from Tokyo that in the morning, both Germany and China were attacked by bombs in the offices of the Tokyo Embassy District. A counselor died, but fortunately, only a Japanese servant who served the Qin embassy was killed.

The commercial banks of China and Germany on the streets of Tokyo were both attacked to varying degrees. The same attack also occurred in several front-tier cities from Tokyo to Gifu and Kyoto.

Obviously, this was a premeditated action. The master behind it has been clearly revealed.

Yuan Zilu, deputy inspector of Weiying Prefecture, was extremely busy that night because he had many things to do, and he had to kill those who should be killed. At the same time, he had to make an official report. Otherwise, his uncle, the Taitai Master who had been following him for more than ten years, would not be able to explain to the Emperor De. And if he did a little bit of it, once the matter was revealed, let alone him, even his Taitai uncle would be in a bad position.

So, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the end of his day. He still held the gold contributed by the Japanese who had just been silenced, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The old friends of the Black Dragon Association have suffered enough of Yuan Jiantai in the past few years, and then they realized that they were so hard that they could not play with this Henan man who was not tall and had no such majestic expression, so they had to go soft. In the past few years, I have spent so much money, so I took the lead with Yuan Zilu. In addition, this time, the Emperor of De came to visit again. Yuan Ziru heard the news that he wanted to do a big thing, and this was the best opportunity.

Of course, they also knocked them out a lot. Seven hundred taels of gold were exchanged for seven people. From the day they landed in Weiying Mansion, these seven people abandoned the idea of ​​survival. Now, they have got what they want.

Of course, Yuan Zilu's people ate them from beginning to end. If they hadn't had this idea and were investigated and reported to their uncle, he wouldn't have dared to let these people in. Of course, the same was true for Yuan Shikai. If he hadn't had this clue, Yuan Shikai wouldn't have planned to invite the German Emperor to visit.

Yuan Zilu naturally didn't know this, and he didn't even know this clue about him. Not only did he help Yuan Shikai's great help, but he also indirectly helped Guo Yanqing, giving him an opportunity to stand out and show his foreign affairs talent.

As for Huang Xing, hey, Yuan Zilu would laugh when he thought of this immediate boss. This guy is too harsh and can't get in. No wonder the National Taiwan Master wanted to transfer you to the other side, but he didn't take you back. Thinking that he would take over the position of the chief inspector after this incident, Yuan Zilu couldn't help laughing.

"Master of Taiwan--" The respectful cry of several officers behind him scared him. He turned around and saw Yuan Shikai with a cold face. He quickly met him.

Yuan Shikai snorted coldly, gave him a thunderous thunder and walked straight forward.

"Uncle, uncle--" After entering the room, Yuan Zilu let go of his uneasy thoughts, respectfully poured a cup of tea for Yuan Shikai, knocked on the uncle's legs and said, "Uncle, you use tea."

"Tea, you eggs--" Yuan Shikai picked up the teacup, and was about to drink it. When he said this, he poured a cup of tea on his face and cursed: "Do you know that your teacup kills me? If you weren't my nephew, you would have to do it today!"

Yuan Zilu was so aggrieved that he was about to defend himself, Yuan Shikai interrupted: "All things have been done? Who are you looking for? They really want to kill people! Tell you, if the foreign prince dies here, I will move my head!"

"Uncle, I didn't know that they said they wanted to warn Prince Foreigner, but who knew that they would make such a big noise. Uncle doesn't blame me for-"

"Okay, okay, everything is done?" Yuan Shikai was an extraordinary person after all. After a little disobedient, he immediately calmed down and pointed to the cup and said, "Where is the tea?"

"Uncle, just don't get angry." Yuan Zilu smiled and poured tea for Yuan Shikai. He continued: "Uncle, don't worry, the errand is very beautiful. None of the five Japanese pirates left, and the bodies were all taken poison, and there was no future trouble."

Yuan Shikai sipped the tea, as if he was not listening carefully, and sighed comfortably, "You, your parents named you Yuan Qian, and I gave you the word "卡"? What is the ancient wise Zilu? What do you look like? You really should learn from Huang Kecheng." He stood up and walked to the window and opened the window with his own hands. His voice changed: "Tomorrow, I will see your report. Also, you have recorded it. All the households involved will be imprisoned! Don't be careless! The identity of the households involved must be strictly identified! Just now, after seeing this, you still want to sleep tonight if something big happened! "

"Yes, yes!" Yuan Zilu bowed and responded, looked at the gaze sent by Yuan Shikai, and nodded understandingly.

"Master of Taiwan, please go——"

"Well, I'll give you a sweet spot. If you handle this case well, you will be the chief inspector. Benxian has already told the Mansion." After that, Yuan Shikai turned around and left.

Yuan Zilu was excited and started to get busy again.

Yuan Shikai's next stop was the Governor's Office. His division of labor with Zuo Baogui has always been in charge of one island. However, this time it was a big deal. When Emperor De visited, Zuo Baogui naturally came to Weiying Mansion to welcome him. Therefore, this governor and admiral of the two provinces who had the military talismans in hand, the 150,000 troops under his command, of which 70,000 former Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers were trained by him. His might was no less powerful than Yuan Shikai.

He wanted to explain the identity of the assassin to Zuo Baogui. It was natural to inform such a big thing, and he also needed Zuo Baogui's full support for the next action.

On the German side, it was inevitable that he was furious. Even if he went to Africa, he had never encountered such a thing. Someone actually released mines before the welcome ceremony and fired guns after the welcome ceremony. Where is this place and who dared to be so bold! He was dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai's ability to do things. Although Yuan's explanation was that the cruising was to keep his spirit to welcome the emperor, the navy needed to stop sailing all of them? Otherwise, how could he give people the opportunity to cast mines? He could take a step back and say that he could afford to scare him, but he could not afford to lose his face. Germany's world policy was being implemented at the beginning. Can he lose this person?

The mines sent by the Chinese clearly marked the year and origin of the factory - "The 30th year of Meiji, Yokosuka Bing Preparation", which is the products of the Yokosuka Bing Preparation Factory in Tokyo, Japan, and the Japanese mines.

The identity of the assassin handed over was also confirmed. The young Japanese army officers, one named Yamashan and the other named Ping Zhousi, came here and how did these two people come into the welcome queue? Yuan Shikai's answer today is not satisfactory!

Germany asked for a reasonable explanation! He sent this note to Yuan Shikai and also sent it to the Tokyo Japanese government via telegram.

Another thing that was questioned was the attack on German trading companies and Germans that affected half of Japan. The German Empire needed reasonable explanations and ten times compensation!

When the sun rose the next day, William II received a written reply signed by Yuan Shikai and Zuo Baogui. The report of more than 70 pages was not dry. Obviously, the two officials did not sleep all night, which made William II relieve a little. The report details the answers he wanted, including how the mines were cast, which ship was released, the signature, identity, and address of the witnesses for verification. As well as how the assassins came to Weiying Mansion, the landing location and the route of action, witnesses confirmed it, as well as the list of local residents who were responding to the assassin group, a total of seven people, all of whom committed suicide by taking drugs, and there were also detailed autopsy reports and arrest process reports...

Everything satisfies William II. After using breakfast, he met Yuan Shikai and Zuo Baogui in the reception room. The three of them quickly reached a consensus. This was a dangerous action of the Japanese ruling faction and the civilian anti-China and anti-German elements to endanger the personal safety of the German emperor and Sino-German relations. The series of destructive actions against citizens of China and Germany during the same period proved this.

Yuan Shikai and Zuo Baogui also solemnly apologized to the German Emperor for the ineffective service and inadequate security and security exposed by their side in this incident. At the same time, they also brought the emperor's condolences from Beijing, expressing their concerns to the German Emperor while expressing their sincere apology.

He also tentatively told the German Emperor that for the sake of peace, would you just give up just a little warning to Japan?

Under the banner of peace, I am willing to make some sacrifices. As long as Japan hand over the mastermind behind the scenes, I am willing to end the incident with the most tolerant attitude. - The assassination of the German Emperor reported by the Times, the reaction of the Chinese emperor.
