129 The Overlord of One Party II The East Wind Arrives
Ren Yijiang's carriage arrived at the gate of Zhao Zhenjun Temple in Fuzhou City...) Jiang JShi, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came out. The assassination of Li Houji was jointly carried out by the power of the revolutionary party and Chang Ruiqing's Fuxing Society. Jiang JShi was the head of the suicide squad of the revolutionary party organization. He concentrated more than a hundred brothers under his command, most of whom were gang members with connections with the revolutionary party. The Fuxing Society mobilized less than twenty people, all of whom were elite Axe Gang mobilized from Shanghai! And Jiang JShi was the commander-in-chief of this joint assassination operation.
Seeing Ren Yijiang get off the carriage, Jiang JShi let out a sigh, walked to Ren Yijiang and whispered: "Yichen, why did you come so late? There was no accident when you entered the city, right?"
Ren Yijiang went to the wharf to pick up the boat. Twenty heroes from the Axe Gang disguised themselves as sailors and came to Fuzhou in the ship of the Sanbei Company. After Ren Yijiang received them, he led them directly into the city because they were twenty strong men and were from Anhui. When they entered the city, they were investigated very often, but they did not show any flaws.
Ren Yijiang smiled and said, "What trouble can there be? People and weapons left separately, and they didn't tell them that they were assassinating Li Houji, but they just said that they went to Fuzhou to seek revenge... The army is too lazy to care about such things!"
"That's good, that's good." Jiang JShi nodded and thought to himself: "This white-faced scholar-like character in front of him is still an expert in assassination and riots! It seems that there are still some talented people around Chang Ruiqing." He didn't know that all this was arranged by Chang Ruiqing's bandit wife, and this woman is a big expert in doing such things.
Ren Yijiang looked around again, and after confirming that there were no suspicious people nearby, he walked into the temple with Jiang JShi.
This Zhao Zhenjun Temple is not worshipping Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth Master, but a Taoist figure from the Sui Dynasty. It is now dilapidated and has no incense. Jiang JShi spent dozens of dollars to rent the temple from the only old Taoist priest in the temple. More than a hundred heroes he commanded lived in it temporarily. As soon as he walked into the yard, a strong man's sweat smell, coupled with the smell of inferior white wine and smelly feet, came to his face, making Ren Yijiang frown.
Jiang JShi smiled and said, "Brother Yichen. These are all good men in the world, so they are naturally not as strict as in the military camp."
Ren Yijiang also laughed all the way: "As long as he can be used for the revolution, no matter who he is? I wonder when the Tongmenghui was in the Manchu Revolution, did he rely on the power of the Conghe Party?"
While talking, the two of them had already walked to Jiang JShi's command center. This was originally the room where Taoists lived. Now the map of Zhang Fuzhou City was hung on the wall and drawn with red and blue pencils. There was an office desk next to the map. There was also a camp bed in the corner. It seemed that Jiang JShi had lived here these days.
There was already a middle-aged man in his thirties standing inside the room, looking at the map with his elbow in his arms, when he turned around when he heard the sound of pushing the door. He smiled and greeted Ren Yijiang: "Brother Yichen, why did he come so late? The road was smooth, right?"
When Ren Yijiang saw this person, he hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Mr. Jinggong, everything is fine on the road, but it was delayed for a while when he entered the city..." It turned out that the person in the room was also a big figure of the Chinese Revolutionary Party. He was the leader of the Fujian branch, a veteran of the Tongmenghui, and Song Yuanyuan, who served as the president of the Fujian Provincial Assembly. In this operation in Fuzhou, the revolutionary party was dominated by Jiang J.S. and Song Yuanyuan was the deputy. Therefore, Ren Yijiang had met him several times and was considered to have met him.
After the three of them saluted each other, they sat down around Jiang JShi's desk. Jiang JShi spoke to Ren Yijiang first: "There has been a clear news from Shanghai. The first battalion of Marines brought by Sa Zhenbing arrived in Shanghai yesterday for a day off. They will board the ship to the south tomorrow afternoon, and they will probably reach the Mawei Wharf the morning after tomorrow. We also heard from the inside line of the Governor's Mansion that Li Houji would personally go to Mawei Wharf to welcome Sa Zhenbing and his party. They left the Governor's Mansion at about 9 am the day after tomorrow and left the East Gate of Fuzhou... The ambush place. We considered it, it would be best to choose the Dingguang Tower area, which is a downtown area. After the matter is completed, the brothers will easily get out. There is another necessary way to get out of Fuzhou East Gate, and we will never go empty."
Ren Yijiang nodded and said, "Okay. Everything depends on Mr. Jiang." He pondered for a while and said, "The female killer we arranged by Li Houji has fascinated him, and he will definitely be with him at that time."
Song Yuanyuan smiled and then continued: "At that time, we will arrange for people to stop the car and shout for justice... In the public eye, Li Houji always needs to install Master Qingtian. As long as his convoy stops, we will take action! Stop is a signal. People from both sides should start together, smoke bombs and bombs are all the people on our side. You just need to shoot guns. Each person will go five bullets, and leave after they are shot, and don't fight... After all, there are other people who really do it. It is always good for our brothers to sacrifice less."
He bought the suicide squad members this time through the Fujian Gang. According to the rules on the road, if you really lose your life, you will not be able to escape a settlement fee. Of course, it is the best that you can save this money.
Ren Yijiang frowned. It would not take much time to shoot five bullets, but the scene must be in chaos. If Wu Yan'er took decisive action, she would have succeeded. Thinking of this, he nodded slightly: "Okay, the assassination is arranged like this. I believe Li Houji will not escape this disaster." Speaking of this, he paused slightly and said to Jiang JShi: "Mr. Jiang, our brigade commander has another thing to ask for help... After this incident is successful, I would like to ask you to contact your old classmate. Once Li Houji, the commander of the 10th Mixed Brigade, Tang Guomo. Once Li Houji dies, the troops in Beiyang in Fujian are the oldest. The next supervisor is the two of them."
Jiang JShi pondered for a moment: "Tang Guomo and I are indeed old classmates, but we have not had much contact since we graduated from Baoding Quick Entry... and he also knew that I was Mr. Sun's person. If I go, what should I say?"
Ren Yijiang smiled and said, "Why just say it right and tell Tang Guomo how about Mr. Sun is willing to support him as the governor of Fujian?"
Jiang JShi and Song Yuanyuan looked at each other, and Jiang JShi said in confusion: "What are you saying?"
Ren Yijiang smiled and said, "Mr. Sun's 20th battalion of Guangdong Army and Tang Guomo and Yao Jianping's two brigades attacked Zang Zhiping's 14th mixed brigade... After destroying Zang Zhiping, the territory of Zhangzhou and Xiamen belonged to Mr. Sun, the governors of Fujian Province, and the governors of Tang Guomo and Yao Jianping. They should be moved by such conditions, right?"
Now Jiang JShi and Song Yuanyuan were silent. After a while, they heard Jiang JShi pondering: "Do you brigade commander Chang want Tang Guomo, Yao Jianping and Zang Zhiping to fight. Wait until they both suffer losses and then seize Fuzhou?"
Ren Yijiang shrugged and spread his hands: "I don't know this little brother. I guess we, the brigade commander, have any tricks?"
After saying that, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Jiang JShi: "There is a silver note worth 50,000 yuan, which is the settlement fee for the brothers participating in this operation."
Jiang JShi took the envelope and handed it over to Song Yuanyuan, and then exchanged glances with Song Yuanyuan. Song Yuanyuan tentatively said: "In fact, with the strength of our Chinese Revolutionary Party in Fujian, it is not difficult to capture Fuzhou City. Beiyang's most powerful force in Fujian is just the 11th Mixed Brigade and the 14th Mixed Brigade. As long as they fight themselves, Fuzhou will be empty. At that time, our people will be in charge and take over the troops of Commander Chang into the city. Isn't Fujian the world of our revolutionary party?"
Ren Yijiang glanced at the two people in front of him, and he knew it. He stood up and rushed to Jiang JShi. Song Yuanyuan bowed: "What do you mean by you? I will tell Commander Chang, but... Beiyang is now very powerful. We'd better avoid a head-on confrontation with them. Do you think so?" As he said that, he lifted up his robe and said goodbye and left.
As soon as Ren Yijiang left, Jiang JShi glanced at Song Yuanyuan and smiled bitterly: "It seems that this brigade commander Chang is also planning to take two boats with one foot. It will take a lot of trouble to pull him over completely."
Song Yuanyuan smiled coldly: "What's the problem? Didn't he want to enter Zhangzhou and Xiamen? Isn't it just that we can't get in? He took such a lot of effort and finally stirred up the situation in Fujian. I don't believe that he will give up! Humph, without a plump territory, his more than 10,000 troops will survive by relying on those counties in northwestern Fujian?"
...
A strong and powerful hand knocked on the Xiamen position on the map. Then he pressed it heavily. This is a beautifully printed map of Fujian Province one-tenth of thousands. There are eye-catching sun marks on the blank space on the map, which is obviously a masterpiece of the Japanese military intelligence department. On this map, various tactics are closely related to the military number labels. Any force that can be regarded as No. 1 in Fujian Province is clearly indicated on it, the number, force, territory and the names of the main generals.
On the northwest corner of this map, there are also the numbers of the 31st Mixed Brigade of the CSKA, the 11th Mixed Brigade of the CSKA, and the Independent Brigade of the Northwest Fujian. The troops of these three troops are also clearly marked! Among them, the 31st Mixed Brigade of Chang Ruiqing was marked with the words "About 12,000 officers and soldiers, 24 75mm artillery, sufficient guns and ammunition."! The top secret information of Chang Ruiqing's troops was actually found out by the Japanese, and it was written openly on the military map they gave to Chang Ruiqing!
In addition to the 31st Mixed Brigade, the other four Mixed Brigades in Fujian, as well as the miscellaneous civilian troops, have been further improved, and even accurate to the battalion level's military strength and equipment status. Of course, these are all information on the list. Only their own commanders know how much vacancy each unit eats.
Major Okamura Nishiji stood on the side of the map platform, looking at Chang Ruiqing in front of him carefully and looking at the huge military map for a long time, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth as if saying: "In China, Japan is everywhere and omnipresent!"
After a while, Chang Ruiqing let out a dull sigh: "...The situation in Fujian Province is really too chaotic..."
Okamura Yasuji smiled softly and said lightly: "It's not just Fujian Province? The whole of China is so chaotic, and Fujian Province is definitely not the most chaotic place! With your strength, as long as you have the support of the Great Japanese Empire, you can completely control Fujian Province in less than one or two years. At that time, Fujian will be the foundation for you to compete for South China and Southeast!"
His tone was very sincere. But to Chang Ruiqing, it sounded like a deafening alarm! The Japanese infiltration of China was probably even more powerful than what history books said? It seems unlikely that he would avoid them and take a detour... Thinking of this, a little emotion and a little helpless smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Okamura, you are my chief military adviser now... I will no longer hide some secret matters. I have joined forces with the revolutionary party and prepared a plan to assassinate Li Houji! The time to do it is..." As he said that, he raised his wrist and looked at the time: "It's three hours later! And this plan is foolproof!"
Okamura Yanji's face actually showed a surprised expression. It seemed that Japan's intelligence network in Fujian still had some omissions. Chang Ruiqing glanced at the other party and then said: "As soon as Li Houji died, the balance between the various factions in Fujian Province was completely broken. I plan to take the opportunity to provoke a conflict between Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo, let them both suffer losses, and then wait for an opportunity to expand their territory. Do you know what your adviser has to do?"
Okamura's face had returned to calm, and the eyes behind the glasses kept flashing: "Zang Zhiping has always coveted the position of the governor of Fujian, and he has maintained close contacts with the empire. If we clearly express our support for him to seize the governor of Fujian, I believe he will definitely send troops! As for Tang Guomo and Yao Jianping, they have two mixed brigades, which are twice as many troops than Zang Zhiping, and are backed by their old boss, Zhejiang governor Yang Shande. Fuzhou Castle is in their hands. The governor of Fujian should be succeeded by them, so they will never surrender to Zang Zhiping. It is inevitable that a battle will be fought.
But General Yaoru, don’t forget Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng in Beijing! They are out of reach for Fujian Province, but it does not mean that they are not able to coordinate the conflicts within Beiyang. The dispute between Tang and Zang in Fujian will end up with Duan Qirui’s mediation! If you want to wait for an opportunity to expand your territory, you must grab the territory you should grab before Duan Qirui mediation, creating a fait accompliment!”
Speaking of this, Okamura Yasuji deliberately raised his voice: "There is one thing you can be completely relieved. No matter whether you seize Zhang, Xiamen or Fuzhou, the Empire will support it with all its strength! Because the Empire hopes that the situation in Fujian will change in a better way!"
Hearing this, Chang Ruiqing didn't know whether to be happy or afraid! Today he wanted to make Li Houji's rebellion, and the Japanese supported him. In the future, if others want to make his own rebellion, these Japanese people would probably support him fully...
...
At the same time as Chang Ruiqing and Okamura Yanji met, more than a dozen small warships with five-color flags broke through the Minjiang River and shone with blue-gray waves and slowly sailed towards the Mawei Wharf southwest of Fuzhou City.
On the bridge of a warship that was leading the way, a middle-aged man wearing a Beiyang Admiral's uniform was saying to the people around him with a relaxed look on his face: "It's okay, I haven't met Cheng Yutang's ship (Cheng Biguang), otherwise our small sampans would have been smashed to pieces."
Everyone around them sighed: "This man surnamed Cheng finally took into account the friendship of the navy. If he really used the Haiqi to beat our Ding Gong, what kind of face would he have to meet his colleagues in the navy in the future?"
Sa Zhenbing smiled bitterly: "Their army fought to fight for territory by life and death. Why is our navy involved in it? Can Sun Dapao still give Cheng Biguang a piece of territory?"
At this time, the ship had slowly approached the dock, and more than a dozen men in naval uniforms were on the dock, holding cables and throwing them hard onto the boat. There were sailors on the boat ready to take the ropes, and both were well-trained. The boat was moored in a short while. A naval officer brought a few entourages to Sa Zhenbing's flagship. When he saw Sa Zhenbing, he stood attentively and saluted: "Ding Gong, Beizhike has come here. With you patrolling the Fujian Sea, the situation of our navy in Fujian will be foolproof."
Sa Zhenbing smiled at him: "Okay, Yang Dizhong, I have only been back to Fujian for a few days, and I feel like I have smeared honey on my lips. Is he able to speak? By the way, what does Li Peizhi say? Will he welcome us to Fujian?"
The man named Yang Dizhong turned out to be the captain of the Navy's Guard. After the Marine Corps was established, he was responsible. He was quite capable of doing things. He searched the Navy's Guard, the warehouse, the honor guard, and so on. He gathered several companies. He arrived in Fujian some time ago and anxiously stole the Mawei Wharf and the Xiamen Fortress Fortress. In this way, he had a total of five companies of troops, and the team was considered to be open.
After hearing Sa Zhenbing’s question, Yang Dizhong took out a gift list from his pocket and handed it over: “This is a little bit of the inspiration given to you by Governor Li. This time he would have to go to the dock to greet him in person. But Mr. Ding, you have been smooth sailing for a while, and Governor Li’s team has just left the Governor’s yamen. Why don’t you get off the boat first and go to the Naval Academy to rest for a while?”
