The Republic is so violent

Chapter 183 The Phantom Crisis (1)
01 The most exciting thing is the human heart

General Cai E was wise and heroic. He first started in Yunnan and fired the first shot in the battle of protecting the country, avoiding China from repeating the nightmare of imperialism, which made him an eternal legend in Chinese military history.

But there is one thing that makes General Cai E's followers extremely depressed.The Battle of Protecting the Country is essentially still a social activity in which the Japanese actively participate and are ubiquitous.Even in General Cai's National Defense Army, there were many Japanese who were full of hawaii and rushed to death under the hail of bullets.If these details are known to people, will it affect the functioning of people's thinking and make people insane?
In order to prevent people from becoming insane, the party members circulated such a joke:
It is said that when General Cai entered Sichuan and went to challenge his only good friend Chen Huan, one of General Cai's subordinates was a Japanese who had been naturalized for a long time, and his surname was Li.It is said that this Japanese Li's whereabouts have always been secretive, and no one knows his details.During the march, this man dawdled and deliberately delayed.So why did Japan delay the march?It is said that he secretly drew topographic maps along the way, and all villages, mountains, lakes and rivers were marked in great detail.

Li's behavior in Japan was discovered, and General Cai was informed.So General Cai sent his adjutant to send a secret letter to Japanese Li. Just as Japanese Li was concentrating on reading the letter, the adjutant drew a gun behind him and pointed it at the back of his head, snap!Japan Li's skull was so shattered that it could no longer be repaired.

At the end of the story, after killing Japanese Li, more than a hundred military maps of the southwest region were found from him, and General Cai happened to use them to fight the Beiyang Army.

This story was once rumored to the stage of evil. It is said that after the death of Japanese Li, the Japanese emperor was sad for many days.

Only Liang Qichao knows that this story is not true, it is a typical nonsense.

Why do you want to talk nonsense?

Because human nature is complex and the current situation is changing.Things that couldn't be more right yesterday, seem a little inappropriate every two days.As far as the relationship between China and Japan is concerned, the early Japanese always insisted that Japan was an inalienable sacred territory of China, but it was occupied by the foreign Qing Dynasty, and China only left Japan as an isolated island, hanging overseas, thinking about restoring China all the time. .

So the Japanese swarmed to China to recover China, and they were working hard to recover China. History took a sharp turn, and the whole Chinese people resisted the Japanese.At this time, if we look at history from the point of view at this time, the nerves will immediately be in a state of rupture.

Another example is the Japanese war criminal Itagaki Seishiro, the beginning of the "Republic of China". He was stationing troops in North Korea. When he heard the establishment of the Republic of China, he was so excited that he burst into tears. Victory... If you don't know that Japan was part of China before, then it is difficult for you to understand Seishiro Itagaki's performance, and you will feel that this guy is very nervous.

The relationship between Japan and China, even after the Sino-Japanese War, was not as full of indignation and hostility as modern people understand.On the contrary, it was the sweetest stage between China and Japan. During the Russo-Japanese War, a large number of students studying in Japan formed the Anti-Russian Volunteer Army and returned to China to cooperate with the Japanese army.Wu Peifu, a scholar who joined the army, was first a member of the Sino-Japanese joint detective team.

Sun Yat-sen, Qiu Jin, etc., all cheered when they heard the Japanese army's victory.The heroine of Jianhu also wrote a well-known poem: if one hundred thousand blood is lost, the world must be restored.Indulge in the praise of the Japanese army. ("Out of Print Jiawu" by Xue Er)
Of course, even at that time, not every Japanese agreed with China. They were more violent, muddy the water, and found excuses to come to China to occupy land.In short, it was a turbulent era, and the most turbulent thing was the people's hearts.

Today is not yesterday, this is the Republic of China.

So when Japan's spy network, which had been secretly lurking in China for decades, was activated to escort Liang Qichao to Yunnan, we can understand this matter.

The political concepts of future generations are the interests and expressions of future generations, and must not be used to demand the predecessors.

that is the truth.

02 Scolding the Secretary of State to death

As early as December 1894, 12, the well-known American magazine "Harper's Weekly" published a long report "The United States Stands by in China". This report did not scare the Americans to death.According to the report:
…The Chinese took the two Japanese youths to Nanking, where they were tortured for 2 days—some say 3 days.They let the Japanese kneel on the iron chains, with wooden bars piercing their legs, and they still stood on the wooden bars.The fingernails of the Japanese were also pulled out.They tied iron chains around the wrists of the Japanese, and then poured boiling water on the chains until the chains were embedded in the bones.They clamp the tongues of the Japanese.They crushed the most sensitive parts of the Japanese body.Among all the tortures that are worse than death, the executioner's sword has become the most enjoyable one...

The article pointed out that the weak US government became an accomplice in the murder of two young Japanese by the Chinese government.

Americans are uneducated and don't know the criminal law of piercing their legs with wooden sticks and then standing on the wooden sticks to exert pressure. This is the best punishment culture in China, which is called upper clamping stick.But what are these two kind-hearted Japanese youths doing?Why did the Chinese government at that time repair them so cruelly?
These two Japanese youths, one named Yujiro Kusuchi, who was born in Hesa ​​County, Kyushu, were not admitted because of poor eyesight when they applied for the military academy.So he went to Shanghai, China, devoted himself to the research of espionage technology, and has been lurking in China ever since.

The other is Linping Fukuhara, a native of Okayama Prefecture. He has great ambitions since he was young, and he prides himself on being a national scholar.He applied for the spy school but failed, so he simply kicked open the principal's door and made a generous speech, which impressed the principal Sei Arao, so he was admitted exceptionally, and became a partner with Yujiro Kusuchi.

Since then, the two have disguised themselves as Chinese businessmen and wandered around, collecting information and drawing maps.When the two were scouting along the Yangtze River by boat, Fukuhara Linping suddenly became very popular in poetry, and wrote two poems on the spot, one of which was:
If you want to try to swim thousands of miles in the Yangtze River, you will float to cast a moonlight boat.

The cup can be used to laugh at human affairs, and the more water and Wushan make me worry.

After reciting this one, Fukuhara Linping also recited another one for his fiancée, Yamamoto Sachiko, and wanted to recite a third one, but it was too late, and the officers of the Zatai Yamen boarded the ship, and took the two of them down on the spot. A map of the Kanto region and a roster of Qing army officers were also found.

That's conclusive evidence.

But conclusive evidence is useless, because the territory where the two Japanese spies were captured was the French Concession, and the criminals had to be handed over to the French police first, and then China strongly protested to France and proposed extradition.

But the Frenchman is a ghost, knowing that if the spy is handed over to China, the spy will definitely be tortured to death, so the Westerners will definitely not do it.But if it is not handed over, the Chinese side will definitely not agree.So the French used the strange trick of blaming Jiangdong to send the two Japanese spies to the Americans.

So the Chinese government chased him to the U.S. Consulate and demanded that the U.S. Consul General Zonigan hand over the man.Zonigan knew the Chinese too well, so he immediately refused, claiming to protect the two Japanese spies.

How can the Chinese government swallow this breath?They used the Chinese method to send a large group of people to the United States to petition, and went to the door of the US Secretary of State Gregory Hill, and lined up to submit petition materials.Think about that Yankee Grace, who ever heard of petitioning in the world?There is no way to stop the visit, and the US envoy to China is ordered to surrender.

The U.S. ambassador to China was astounded upon seeing this official document, lodged a strong protest, and wrote a letter cursing Secretary of State Gregory Hill.No matter how willing Ge Lishan was to show weakness, he also wrote back and scolded. After a period of scolding and fighting between the two sides, Ge Lishan finally crushed people to death and won, and the two Japanese spies were handed over to the Chinese government.

Now Fukuhara Linhei and Kusuchi Yujiro are miserable. The Chinese government has tried all the famous and unknown tortures on these two spies, and beheaded them after breaking them into pieces.

When this matter spread to the United States, once it was reported, Secretary of State Grace became the target of public criticism. All Americans scolded Grace for being inappropriate and compromising with China, which resulted in the two Japanese being tortured more cruelly than in the Middle Ages.From then on, Grace never left his office. He wrote letters non-stop from morning to night, and scolded everyone who scolded him. When he came up, he was scolded to death.

Just because of the two Japanese spies, the US Secretary of State was scolded to death. Fukuhara Linhei and Kusuchi Yujiro should be smiling.

After the death of the spy Fukuhara Rinhei, the poem he wrote for his fiancée Yamamoto Sachiko was finally sent back to China. Yamamoto Sachiko picked up the poem and read it, and saw that it was written:

Qing is in the North Sea of ​​Yingzhou, and I have traveled thousands of miles in Shu and Wuchuan.

This Jiangyue camps this true shadow, writing about the fate of adventures in the past.

Sachiko Yamamoto read her lover's poem, burst into tears, wailed loudly, vowed not to marry for life, and devoted herself to women's education.

Kusuchi Tomojiro and Fukuhara Linping should be the first Japanese spy case that broke out in China, and then the most exciting monk spy Fujishima case.

03 Japanese monks make trouble in China

The adventures of the Japanese monk spy Fujishima in China are too legendary, and the ending is also super outrageous. The reason why he was exposed was because of the exposure of the Chinese monk.The whole process is unimaginable, but it is permeated with the unique chaos of the late Qing Dynasty.

Fujishima Takehiko, who was born beautiful and handsome, looks like a beautiful woman. At the age of 19, he joined Leshantang, a secret hall of Japanese spies in Hankou, China, and was ordered to go to Xinjiang to lurk.But he didn't want the boat to go out of Hankou, so he heard a whistle on the water, and dozens of water bandits rowed small boats, flying in from all directions, and surrounded the merchant ships.

The leader of this water bandit, surnamed Zhao, tookhiko Fujishima noticed that Zhao water bandit looked strange, so he shouted: "Guan Gong looks like a hero, why don't you plunder the rich, but also rob small businessmen?"Yu Shu is a pity.

This passage comes from the records of the Japanese spy hall Leshantang, but the false rate should be more than [-]%, because Fujishima's Chinese is extremely poor, and few Chinese can understand it.

However, according to records, the water bandits Zhao and Fujishima hit it off right away, and the conversation between the two was very speculative, and the water bandits Zhao did not rob the monk Fujishima again.And Fujishima gave Zhao Water Bandit a gift, which was a brand new pistol, which surprised and pleased Zhao Water Bandit.

However, it was said that since the water bandit Zhao accepted the gun that Fujishima gave him, he had a bad luck, was caught by the government, and was detained in Xiangyang Prison.When Fujishima heard the news, he rushed to Xiangyang immediately to rescue the water bandit Zhao. Unexpectedly, in front of the city gate of Xiangyang, he found a head hanging on the tower. When he looked closely, it was the head of the water bandit Zhao.At that time, monk Fujishima yelled: Brother, I am late.He vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out to the ground.

At night, Fujishima quietly climbed up the battlement and took off the head of the water bandit Zhao. As a result, the guards were alarmed, and a crowd of lanterns and torches came chasing him.Tie the head of the water bandit Zhao around his waist, Fujishima ran desperately towards the river, jumped into the water, and escaped by relying on the good water quality.

After daybreak, Fujishima buried the leader of the Zhao water bandit, wiped away his tears, tightened his belt, made a big U-turn, and returned to Hankou Leshantang.

Wasn't he ordered to lurk in Xinjiang?Why are you back again?

Because his travel expenses have been spent, he went back to the headquarters to reimburse and borrow public funds.

The following year, Leshantang sent Takehiko Fujishima again, and gave him a partner named Pu Jingyi.The two disguised themselves as Chinese businessmen, traveled northward along Hankou by water, then abandoned their boat and landed, crossed Zhongnan Mountain, and arrived in Xi'an.The two stayed in Xi'an for more than a month, and then, for some reason, they broke up. Fujishima got 18 taels of silver, and went back to Hankou to report to Leshantang.Pu Jingyi, on the other hand, took 50 taels of silver and entered Xinjiang alone, and has since disappeared.

Pu Jing disappeared as soon as he entered Xinjiang, which is currently the biggest unsolved case in the history of Japanese espionage, and the Japanese are still looking for him everywhere.

After Pu Jingyi mysteriously disappeared, Fujishima continued to take risks alone until he met Takeo Takami, a classmate of Fukuhara Rinhei.

04 I will fool you before I die

Takehiko Fujishima, a Japanese monk spy, had the most exciting experience in China when he encountered bandits in Lushan Mountain.

That time when he lost his way in the mountains, when he was wandering around, he suddenly saw three people cooking porridge at the foot of the mountain, so Fujishima rushed over immediately, picked up the porridge bowl and drank it.After drinking enough, lie down on the ground and go to sleep.Not wanting those three people, originally bandits, found that Fujishima was carrying a large sum of money, so they moved closer and wanted to eat the fat sheep.Fujishima, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly yelled, holding a knife in his hand, majestic and looking forward to himself.

The three bandits were terrified, turned around and ran down the mountain, and reported to the government.

Immediately, a large number of Qing soldiers came to search the mountain and besieged Fujishima. Fujishima waved a dagger, swish, swish, cha, bang... ah, because he danced too fast and lost control, he chopped off his own head with a knife. , Cut himself half to death on the spot.

So Fujishima was arrested and brought to court.

The criminal officer asked him: You Japanese spy, you are so courageous, how many accomplices do you have, please confess quickly.

Fujishima shook his head: It's bad, you're bad, I'm not a Japanese spy.

The criminal officer laughed: You can't even speak Chinese, and you say that you are not a Japanese spy, do you believe it?
Fujishima said: I don't speak Chinese well, that's normal.Because I am a native of Ryukyu, I live in Fujian, and because I love the mountains and rivers of my motherland, I became a donkey friend. Don't wrong good people.

The criminal officer said, "Okay, okay, I won't torture you anymore, just drag you out and behead you."Torturing a man about to beheaded is somewhat unkind, don't you think?

Fujishima said: Protest, I protest... the protest was invalid, Fujishima was dragged to the execution ground.Just as he was about to behead his head, someone ran up from afar and shouted: "Leave someone under the sword. This person is not a Japanese spy. The three plaintiffs who accused him of being a spy just now were caught during the robbery and confessed to falsely accusing him." .

Fujishima narrowly escaped death. This was the most exciting experience he had ever experienced since he was a spy.

Then Leshantang dispatched Fujishima to Fayu Temple in Mount Putuo.In Fayu Temple, there has long been a Japanese spy, Takeo Takami, who disguised himself as a monk to lurk.

But this time, Fujishima's good luck came to an end.As soon as he got on the boat, he found that there were many Chinese monks on this boat, and he was also a monk, so all the monks came over and insisted on chatting with him: Which monastery are you in?What is the law name?Who is your master...Fujishima was so entangled that he was going crazy, he was forced to speak: My, I can't speak Chinese well, I only know the work of pressing horse bags...

The monks were horrified at this opening, and immediately jumped ashore to report to the government, saying that there was a Japanese monk spy on board.So Fujishima was arrested again.Unfortunately, another spy, Takeo Takami, who had been lurking for a long time and never showed his whereabouts, was also caught.

Those in charge of hearing the espionage case were Wu Yinsun, the chief judge of Ningshao County, Yang Wenbin, the magistrate of Yin County, and Mei Zhenzong, the alternate general judge.This is almost equivalent to three joint trials, which reflects the importance that the government attached to this case at that time.At the beginning, Fujishima was tough and resolute, and he was determined not to recruit, but what if he didn't recruit?Penal laws are like iron, and official laws are like furnaces. Under five trees, there is nothing you can ask for. Serious punishment is served, and if you don't recruit, you must recruit.

Fujishima finally couldn't survive the torture and was forced to confess all of them.

After the confession, Fujishima and Takami were sent to prison.One day, the two were catching lice in the prison. The jailer came in happily and said, "You two are so lucky. Spies used to be capital crimes. But this time, because you Japanese government protested, the government had to release you. Come out." You are all right.

Gao Jian Wufu said with a smile: Come on, you Chinese people have a bad conscience, and you will lie to us again when you are about to beheaded, it is really unkind.

Take pen and ink, my classmate Fukuhara Linhei had poems before his death, and I can't live without them.

The jailer brought pen and ink, and Gao Jian Wufu wrote a poem, saying:
At this age, my business is over at this time, and the man no longer talks about Xingzang.

Overwhelming hatred for no reason, attached to the guillotine and frost.

Shicheng, Japanese spy Fujishima Takehiko and Takami Takeo were both beheaded at the execution ground outside Shibamen.

Two years after Fujishima and Takami were executed, the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War broke out, and Japan won, so they sent commissioners to Hangzhou, recovered their bodies, and brought them back to Japan.

In 1938, Zhong Heming wrote "The History of Japanese Spies Invading China", specifically mentioning the Fujishima case, and shouted:

We should hate those people's intentions deeply, but if they are not afraid of hardships and dangers, they act as the vanguard of aggression for the motherland. Comparing, the people of the country think about it, can they be ashamed?
05 How to become a thinker

Japanese spy Fujishima Takehiko was under the direct command of Hankou Leshantang.And this Leshantang was established by Sei Arao, who is known as the Japanese giant.

It is no exaggeration to call Arao Sei a giant. In 1910, Japan published his first biography, and the name of the book was "The Giant Arao Sei".In this strange book, Arao Jing is called the central figure in the strategy of Xingya in the East, and the Taishan Beidou among the oriental patriots.

What's more, according to the Black Dragon Society's "Biography of East Asia Visionaries", the former leader of the Black Dragon Society, Tou Shanman, called Arao Sei a great man who comes to the world every 500 years, and one of the great heroes after Xixiang Longsheng .

However, what mistake did the Japanese make? Why are they not afraid that he will fall and break when he lifts Arao so high?

The Japanese are not worried about this. The reason why they praise Arao Sei is because he is not simply a spy chief, but more of a thinker.

This thinker was born in a very poor family and could not afford to go to school. A policeman took him in and changed his fate. But soon he gave up school and joined the army because he believed that without investigation, there would be no right to speak. To deal with China, one must first understand China.It just so happened that there was a wave of studying abroad in Japan at that time, and young people who wanted to serve their country went to Europe and the United States to study. Sei Arao was also involved in this wave of studying abroad, but he proposed to go to China.

Arao Jing's application made him look like a hippopotamus in a pig's nest, and suddenly attracted the attention of the Minister of War Shan Yan.So Shan Yan summoned him and asked: Nowadays, most of the promising young people are vying to study in Europe and the United States, but you are struggling with the big guys and want to go to China. What is the reason?
Sei Arao replied: It is because everyone is going to Europe and America, so I am going to China.What am I going to do in China?Well, by the way, I went to China to implement benevolent government and revive Asia.
