Years of the Republic of China 1913

( ) "You... how could you do that?"

In Tokyo, in the secret room of the headquarters of the Black Dragon Society, Ryohei Uchida questioned loudly with anger on his face, while the old man with round glasses and long beard who was kneeling on the tatami mat looked at him quietly.

"Say! Why are you doing this?" Ryohei Uchida took a step forward in a rage, almost spraying saliva on the old man's face.

"Why don't you do that?" the old man asked lightly, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"You know the value of Sun Yat-sen. Without him, the Revolutionary Party is a mess. If you kill him, China's government will be completely free of internal troubles. Once they develop, with China's huge land and population, our big Japan The status of the empire will be seriously threatened!" Uchida Ryohei shouted, waving his hands, his eyes were full of anger, if his eyes could kill people, the old man in front of him would have died seven or eight times already.

"Don't you think he is still valuable?" The old man laughed loudly: "This guy's revolutionary party has long since lost its climate, a revolutionary party that has been dismantled to pieces, a party leader who has lost support, when everyone else When you no longer trust him, it is impossible to succeed in the face of an already cohesive zheng fu. In this case, let a person who has lost his value do one last thing for us. Isn't this a good way to recycle waste ?

"But... Sun Yat-sen has not reached this point yet, he still has followers! At least he is more valuable alive than dead!"

"Uchida-kun, do you think I will believe these words?" The old man looked at Uchida Ryohei with a slight smile: "Even if he still has some value, so what? As time goes by, Sun Yat-sen will completely leave the political arena and be recognized by others." Forget. Uchida-kun, are you sad because of your friend? If so, I sincerely apologize to you."

Standing up and bowing, the old man seemed to be very sincere.And Uchida Ryohei looked at the old man in a daze, and couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Forget Hachiro, this kind of person dies when he dies. As you said, the possibility of Sun Yat-sen's success again is almost gone. However, you did this recklessly. Although Sun Yat-sen's death may bring us There are benefits, but the disadvantages are also obvious, at least you should discuss it with me before acting."

"Yes, so I want to apologize to you!" The old man bowed again, and then said firmly: "The incident happened suddenly, and I couldn't contact you all at once, so I made an arbitrary decision."

Seeing the other party's attitude.Uchida Ryohei's expression gradually eased down.The old man laughed and called Uchida Ryohei to sit down. He picked up the famous utensil Shinohashi Bun tea bowl and fiddled with it with a sense of dance-like rhythm and elegance. When the tea was ready, he raised his hands and handed it to Uchida Ryohei.

"Good tea! Good bowl!" He took it with both hands and turned it gently.Uchida Ryohei tasted slightly and praised loudly.

"Governing the country is like the tea ceremony. Tea, utensils, techniques, occasions, mentality, etc. are indispensable. In ancient times, Master Sen Rikyu said 'harmony and respect for peace'. These are what he said. In fact, the same is true for governing the country."

"Been taught a lesson."

Uchida Ryohei thoughtfully put down the Nobashi Wen tea bowl.I bowed to each other.

The old man smiled and nodded, then sighed softly: "Mr. Uchida. In fact, I have hesitated about the matter of Sun Yat-sen. My big Japanese empire has spent countless energy, time and money on this person. I thought he could do it." Obtaining the power of China, in turn, can become an opportunity for my big Japanese empire to enter the mainland and even replace it. It is a pity that this person is not capable enough, and he has not grasped so many opportunities several times, although it may be useful to keep him , but in my opinion, its role is not significant anymore. In this case, let him contribute the last strength to our great Japanese empire."

"Yeah, what a pity..." Uchida Ryohei also shook his head regretfully, but his regret was not for the dead, but for the waste of nothing for decades.

"However, just as Fang Zida arrived in Nagasaki, Sun Yat-sen suddenly had an accident. Is it too coincidental? I'm afraid we can't hide it?"

"Help it? Why do you want to hide it?" The old man smiled slyly: "We just need an excuse. As for hiding it from the world, it is simply impossible. Of course, then again, who can be sure of this?" We did it? Can they produce evidence?"

"Hahaha! Hachiro is so scheming!" Uchida Ryohei clapped his hands and laughed.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door outside, and the old man shouted loudly. A middle-aged man in a kimono walked in, first saluted Uchida Ryohei and the old man, and then said: "Toushan Sir, news came from the surveillance hall that Fang Zida did not disembark, and Yang Du ran so fast that he was not caught, but his entourage Jiang Zhiqing, Dai Jitao, and two guards were caught in the hotel..."

"Understood, go down." Tou Shanman raised his eyebrows and waved his sleeves.

When the people came back, Uchida Ryohei's eyebrows were knotted, and he said solemnly: "Fang Zida was not caught, and even Yang Du was not caught. What are the people below doing? They are just a bunch of idiots!"

"It doesn't matter. I didn't expect to catch Fang Zida. You should know that he didn't disembark before going to the United States. He was assassinated again in the United States. It's normal that he didn't go ashore in Nagasaki on the way back to China. As for Yang Du, this person only It's just Fang Zida's think tank, it's not necessary, it doesn't matter if you catch him or not."

After a pause, Tou Shanman said again: "It is enough to capture Jiang Zhiqing and Dai Jitao, not to mention their guards. Especially Jiang Zhiqing, who is said to be Fang Zida's right-hand man, and he and Dai Jitao were formerly members of the Revolutionary Party." In this way, there is motivation, time, ability, and... evidence! Everything is complete."

When it came to the evidence, Toyama Mitsuru and Uchida Ryohei smiled knowingly at the same time, each tacitly knowing.

While Touyama Man and Uchida Ryohei were discussing, Fang Zida, who was far away in Nagasaki, finally understood the cause and effect.From the beginning of the assassination in San Francisco to today's scene, everything is caused by Ri himself behind the scenes. First, he provoked a complete break between KMT and the Revolutionary Party, and then he calculated the time to kill Sun Wen to put the blame on himself. China's political arena has changed dramatically, thus achieving the goal of fishing in troubled waters.

After a series of incidents in the past few years, Sun Wen's prestige has long since fallen. The revolutionary party, which was vigorous at the beginning, is about to disband. After the San Francisco assassination case, Sun Wen was scolded like a street mouse.However, this does not mean that he has no followers. After all, Sun Wen is a revolutionary hero, and his reputation in the Republic of China is no worse than that of the deceased Yuan Shikai. What's more, Chinese people pay attention to the dead. When Sun Wen dies like this, the previous things will disappear. On the contrary, all parties will point the contradiction to his death.

Perhaps most people understand that Sun Wen's death is not as simple as it appears on the surface, and some people can even guess who is behind the scenes.But when it comes to politics, sometimes you don’t need any evidence or truth, and most of the time you just need an excuse.As soon as Sun Wen died, the suppressed factions in the country were ready to move. It is certain that they would jump out and use this matter to stir up trouble. With the addition of some ordinary people and students who don't know the truth, the situation will become even more serious.What's more, there is also the Japanese behind this. The death of Sun Wen will bring a huge earthquake to the Chinese political arena. No one can guarantee whether Zheng Fu will be able to get through the difficulties safely.

What makes Fang Zida blame himself even more is that it would be good if he didn't send Yang Du and the others into the city yesterday. Now that Jiang Zhiqing and Dai Jitao have been arrested, in Ri's usual way, it is certain that he will frame him, although Ri himself dare not blatantly attack What about Jiang Zhiqing and the others, but once they are sentenced, things will be troublesome.

Jiang Zhiqing was Fang Zida's designated candidate for the investment bank, and Dai Jitao was the coordinator on his behalf.The arrest of the two of them will cause Fang Zida's plan to run aground. You must know that he originally planned to start action immediately after returning to China, but the main person in charge fell into the hands of Ri himself, which made Fang Zida very angry.

"Shang Ming, I suggest to immediately put pressure on the Japanese government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure that Jiang Ruiyuan and Dai Chuanxian are talented." Fang Zida thought of it, and Yang Du certainly could, and immediately suggested.

"This is necessary!" Fang Zida nodded in agreement, thought for a while and said, "Immediately send a telegram to the country to report the situation here to the cabinet, and ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come forward immediately. In addition, send a telegram to the United States to let the two families Do me a favor, as long as I can fish them out, I will be rewarded!"

"Okay! I'll make arrangements now!" Yang Du quickly agreed, and hurried out of the cabin to send a telegram to the captain.

When Fang Zida's telegram arrived in the capital, Song Jiaoren was presiding over a cabinet meeting, and all the cabinet members who participated in the meeting looked extremely ugly, because they all received the news from Japan an hour ago——Sun Wen Assassinated.

"What did this Fang Zhangming do? Eye for tooth? Did he think he was an ancient ranger?" Cai Yuanpei, the chief education officer, yelled at him. Although he is now a member of the constitutional government, he still has a good personal relationship with Sun Wen, and his political views belong to political views. Friendship belongs to friendship. When he learned of Sun Wen's death, he was furious. He immediately asked the cabinet to make a handling opinion, remove Fang Zida from all positions, and hand him over to the judiciary for trial.

Zhang Jian, head of agriculture and commerce, also agreed, but compared with Cai Yuanpei, a master, Zhang Jian didn't think Fang Zida would be so stupid as to do such a thing.But Cai Yuanpei's suggestion hit him right in his arms. You must know that as the head of the agricultural business, he was supposed to be in charge of the national agricultural business, but Fang Zida intervened in the agricultural business as the president of Zhongyang Bank, and took away a large part of his rights. He has been dissatisfied for a long time. Seeing such an opportunity to make trouble, why didn't he jump out to show his support?

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Chief Justice Zhang Zongxiang disapproved of Cai Yuanpei's proposal. He thought there was something wrong with this matter at first glance. Fang Zida was not a fool, and sent someone to assassinate Sun Wen on the way back home?People with a bit of a brain would not do this. Even if they hold a grudge against the San Francisco case, Fang Zida's power can be done in an extremely secretive way.
