Chapter 363 Lao Yuan who wants to cry but has no tears

"On May 2, the Zhang Yuan case has been handed over to the Shanghai District Procuratorate and the Lianyungang District Procuratorate. In order to ensure a fair review of the case, at the request of the Lianyun side, all suspects involved in the case have been handed over to the Lianyung side.

.//www.//Finally, the Shanghai local authorities said that during this special period, they believe that only Lianyun can ensure the suspect’s safety!

But at this point, we can’t help but ask, what exactly is Shanghai worried about? Perhaps the “Assassination of Song Dynasty” case two years ago can give us some enlightenment!”

"Ta Kung Pao" "Suspicious Clouds" on May 4, the fourth year of the Republic of China

Congress was reopened, Congressional by-elections were held, and the State Council was re-established. Just as the country was eagerly waiting for this, and all citizens believed that China would be prosperous, strong, and stable just around the corner, the news that Li Zicheng, the leader of the National Socialist Party and the next Prime Minister, was attacked by an assassin in Shanghai.

Like a thunder piercing the land of China,

Chinese people, including important figures in the Beiyang group, are all deeply concerned about the despicable behavior of the "Zhang Yuan case" in private. In private, it is almost instinctive. Many people are well aware that this time the president may directly

It went too far, and people began to panic.

They knew clearly that once Li Zicheng chose to speak with force, the outcome between him and the president would be 50-50. While they were calling to protest this "despicable and shameless political assassination", they could not say anything cautiously.

, China has paid too high a price for political conflicts. In the civil war caused by political disputes, the winner is not necessarily glorious. In the end, it is the ordinary people who suffer. They call on all parties to put the welfare of the people first.

,consider carefully.

However, while sending out this power, they also went to Shanghai to visit Li Zicheng. They were either entrusted by Yuan Shikai to visit Li Zicheng's injury, or they expressed condolences to Li Zicheng and took the opportunity to express their sincerity.

There are also other people who reacted very strongly to this. They even called for reshaping China's political order with guns and guns, but they did not take any action except for a few complaints. They just complained in newspapers,

"Yuan Shikai destroyed China."

"Yuan Xiangcheng, this scumbag, brought war to China. This despicable, shameless guy, this executioner, is dragging China into disaster!"

From the moment the "Zhang Yuan case" started on May 2, Yuan Shikai was the target of a thousand people. In China, almost every comment in every newspaper reacted angrily to the "Zhang Yuan case".

Some people cursed Yuan Shikai for going to any extreme.

At the same time, the reaction of the ministers of various countries in China was also extremely strong. The US Minister to China, Reinsch, wrote to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Washington, saying that he "hopes that the storm currently sweeping across China will calm down in the foreseeable future, allowing us to

I have to work again, and until now, I have to admit the fact that if Yuan Shikai really instigated others to assassinate Li Zicheng, then the United States must consider abandoning its relationship with Yuan Shikai. The assassination not only caused problems among the people, but also within the Yuan government and even the military.

Strong backlash." According to Rui Enshi's report, most Chinese people had been looking forward to the Yuan-Li coalition government before this, but now after the assassination, even the grassroots officers of the Central Army have become furious.

.

"What particularly impressed me was that, in addition to the extreme anger expressed by some junior officers, some people even at the top of the Central Army were extremely worried. In their view, this seemed to mean that Yuan Shikai would choose assassination as a

The means to solve the problem, this is a serious problem... Recently, judging from the general atmosphere, the "Zhang Yuan case" has added fuel to the Chinese people's opposition to Yuan Shikai's thoughts. At the moment, for the United States, any support for Yuan Shikai cannot be considered

of."

President Wilson, who was far away in the United States, made a rare condemnation of this. At a press conference on May 5, when he read out to reporters the progress in mediating the European war, he mentioned the "Zhang Yuan case" that occurred in China.

", he said, "The news from China deeply shocked public opinion in the United States. It is hard for me to believe that this matter could actually happen in the civilization of the 20th century, when a head of government ordered an assassin to kill his political opponent.

The United States will maintain further attention."

Overnight, Yuan Shikai became the "recognized behind-the-scenes instigator", while Li Zicheng, as the "victim", received national sympathy.

"At present, although the warhead in Li Zicheng's body has been removed, but..."

At the press conference of Huangpu Hospital, An Puxin, the best surgeon at Huangpu Hospital, informed reporters about Li Zicheng's injury.

On the surface, An Puxin is just an ordinary doctor, but in fact, just like Huangpu Hospital, the "secret hospital" established by the Ministry of Security, An Puxin's other identity is the secret security guard of the Ministry of Security, and even

His first-class surgical skills were also learned with the help of the Security Department. Only under certain necessary conditions can a surgeon's level be fully improved, and he was a doctor trained under those conditions.

one.

The training he received in the past allowed An Puxin to tell lies without hesitation like he does now. For him, this is just a process of completing a task. What he needs to do now is to convince the people that Li Zicheng

He was assassinated and seriously injured.

"Three bullets were fired, one of which hit the heart. This was the most fatal bullet. Fortunately, it may be because the bullet was blocked by the ribs and deflected, so it hit the heart and did not cause fatal damage to the heart.

The other two bullets..."

When introducing the injuries to reporters, An Puxin seemed confident. In fact, the injuries of the three gunshot wounds had all undergone rigorous examination, and even relied on a large number of injury appraisals to ensure that they would not be singled out as suspicious by experts.

In fact, not only cannot it be singled out as suspicious by experts, but you also need to consider the future. In the future, there will also be people studying this "history-changing" assassination case, so everything must be perfect, and in order to achieve the level of "perfection"

, the research department of the Ministry of Security even did not hesitate to use hundreds of corpses and shoot thousands of bullets to produce the perfect medical report.

Of course, the outside world has no way of knowing all this, and as the chief surgeon, An Puxin, all he needs now is to follow the script and publish this perfect medical report.

"...In view of the current injury of Mr. Li Zicheng, which may cause bacterial infection, and the current medical level in China and other countries, there are no effective treatment measures for bacterial infection. Therefore, the issue we are most worried about at present is the bacterial infection.

Septicemia. However, through collusion with the security department, we learned that Yasin Pharmaceutical Company is currently accelerating the development of new drugs, and the top leaders of the National Socialist Party also agreed that Mr. Li Zicheng should accept new drug trials when necessary. Therefore, the hospital

The suggestion is to agree, and Mr. Li Zicheng returns to Lianyungang for treatment to ensure his safety!"

At the press conference, in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Security, Anpusin gave Yasin Pharma another "", and the timely completion of the trial by Yasin Pharma helped him solve a "trouble" to a great extent.

", how to make Li Zicheng's injury "serious" without arousing suspicion from the outside world after being rescued.

After a brief briefing, An Puxin left the temporary podium set up in front of the hospital building, but did not give any answers to the reporters' questions.

Back to Lianyungang!

The reason why these reporters pay so much attention to this issue is very simple. Lianyungang is Li Zicheng's base camp. He may have returned there for treatment, but who knows whether it was to raise troops?

If you want to raise troops, why not go to Nanjing, which is just around the corner? Isn't Nanjing the provincial capital of Jiangsu? In fact, in the past two years, to some extent, at least militarily, Nanjing has been marginalized, although Jiangsu Army Staff

The headquarters is located in Nanjing, but usually the chief of staff serves as the military commissioner of the Huaihai Economic and Strategic Affairs Office. This means that the Jiangsu Army is actually just a subordinate branch of the Huaihai Economic and Strategic Affairs Office. As for Jiangsu, it is only in name.

In other words, bear some military expenses.

Lianyungang is the real base camp of the Jiangsu Army. Once Li Zicheng arrives in Lianyungang, what will happen next? The reporters standing on the grass in front of the hospital can vaguely guess the answer.

"The cruiser Tongxin has entered Wusongkou and is heading towards Shanghai!"

At this moment, a shocking news spread among the reporters, and some timid reporters even dropped their pens on the grass.

Is the war really going to start?

"Here I am, as the British Consul in Shanghai! Leader of the Consular Corps!"

At the British Consulate in Shanghai, as the leading consul, the British Consul General in Shanghai Farrelly immediately requested a meeting with Zhang Yilin, Secretary-General of the National Socialist Party, after learning that Li Zicheng would return to Lianyungang for treatment.

"We are deeply concerned about the terrible incident that happened to Mr. Li Zicheng. At the same time, we firmly believe that the real culprit must be traced, and the consular missions of various countries are willing to provide you with any help they can!"

At this time, Fales' tone still contained British arrogance. For this British knight who served as the commander-in-chief in Shanghai in the year of Xinchou, he would always act as if it were natural when facing the Chinese.

However, Li Zicheng was extremely disgusted with him as soon as he arrived in Shanghai. The reason was very simple. He did not visit the consular team as usual. His first speech in Shanghai was "No acceptance"

He even secretly rejoiced when Li Zicheng was assassinated. After being happy, as a diplomat, he knew what this meant, which meant that China could fall into war at any time, and

For the United Kingdom, which has a large number of interests and investments in China, a civil war in China is definitely not in the interests of the United Kingdom.

"But I still need to remind you and the top leaders of the National Socialist Party that this is a moment that requires calmness and wisdom. In the face of a serious crisis, panic, shouting and all kinds of turmoil are most likely to occur.

Situation, but history has proven more than once that when a crisis comes, what is most needed is calmness and foresight. Otherwise, the normal process will be disrupted and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Perhaps because she was afraid that Zhang Yilin would not understand what she meant, Faleisi emphasized again.

"In this incident, the United Kingdom deeply sympathizes with Mr. Li Zicheng's experience, but this does not mean that we will support China's falling into civil war or division, for the interests of the United Kingdom..."

Before Fa Leisi could finish speaking, Zhang Yilin smiled coldly and interrupted him.

"Mr. Consul, please understand that this is China! The interests of the United Kingdom are not what we Chinese need to consider. For China, the most important thing is China's interests!"

After making a cold remark, Zhang Yilin stared at Fa Leisi but suddenly changed the subject.

"Civil war or secession is something no Chinese wants to see. On this point, we agree with the British view. However, I need to remind Mr. Consul that for us now, the most important thing is

The most important things are, firstly, to thoroughly investigate the case, and secondly, to ensure the safety of Mr. Li Zicheng!"

Although she was a little unhappy at having her words interrupted, Fareisi still said after taking a deep breath.

"If you are willing, the UK can invite the best doctors from Hong Kong to provide Mr. Li Zicheng with the best treatment!"

"Then can you ensure that sir is in good health?"

Zhang Yilin's rhetorical question made Falaisi speechless. He could not make this guarantee at all. He had consulted the British doctor in the concession. According to the published injuries, Li Zicheng's injury was very serious. Now the only

What he can point to is "God bless". In other words, Li Zicheng's life and death is no longer something that can be guaranteed by the current medical level. Now if he is asked to make such a guarantee, how can he possibly make it.

But on the other side, he received instructions from the Beijing Legation, asking him to try his best to ensure that Li Zicheng received treatment in Shanghai. At least in Shanghai, the possibility of civil war would be minimized. At least, there would be no need to consider the living Li Zicheng.

To plot a civil war he "didn't know".

"Mr. Consul, I hope you can understand that we believe that Mr. Li Zicheng's return to Lianyungang is the most appropriate choice, and this will not change due to any factors!"

Li Zicheng is going back to Lianyungang!

After Yuan Shikai, who was far away in the capital, heard the news, he was silent for dozens of seconds. Sitting on his chair, he looked ahead half blankly, looking at the scenery outside the door of Jurentang, and finally let out a cry.

Sigh.

"It seems that war is inevitable!"

After sighing, Yuan Shikai shook his head again. He had not been worried about the Miner's Rebellion. In his opinion, it was still a good thing, at least it would allow him to legitimately unify China. But now, facing the Jiangsu Army

, but he suddenly lost his confidence.

Yuan Shikai, who was trained in military training, is naturally a person who knows the military. Of course he knows the gap between the Central Army and the Jiangsu Army. Otherwise, he would not "suffer his anger" and would not want to use a soft knife to kill people. But now the "Zhang Yuan" case
To be continued...
