Sheng Yun once served as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu and was a frontier official. He still had some skills, but now he was old and had become cowardly and weak. Sun Anhu and the others searched the warehouse where the arms were stored, and carefully took out the bullets and guns.
, and finally found several huge wooden boxes. Sun Anhu carefully identified these wooden boxes, and he was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly ordered people to move them out, and even called Zhang Zuoxiang over.
When they moved the wooden box outside, they saw clearly that it turned out that the wooden box contained two 75mm Krupp mountain cannons, but they had been dismantled into parts. Zhang Zuoxiang was the commander of the artillery regiment.
Commander, he is very familiar with Krupp artillery. In the early days, each division of the Beiyang direct line had an artillery regiment equipped with fifty-four artillery pieces. Its firepower exceeded all Chinese troops in modern times.
Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division could not compare with those of his direct line. There were only eight Krupp guns in his artillery regiment, and due to frequent use, their accuracy was no longer good.
Now these two cannons looked very new and had probably never been used. The ecstasy in Zhang Zuoxiang's heart was simply indescribable. With these two cannons, today's action was worth it. He hurriedly asked Sun Anhu to check all the parts.
After checking to see if there were any defects and confirming that they were intact, Zhang Zuoxiang breathed a sigh of relief and asked Sun Anhu to take special care of the two cannons. After the search was completed, they were immediately sent back to the military camp.
In fact, the original owner of these two cannons was Beiyang No. 1 Town. The Beiyang New Army in this town was mainly composed of Manchus, who were regarded as confidants by the Manchus. Little did they know that the Eight Banners had been completely reduced and had no chance of fighting.
Without the ability, they could only watch the Manchu Qing Dynasty perish.
Shengyun used his connections to steal these two artillery pieces from the arsenal of the First Town. Later, they were quietly transported to Fengtian and placed in the villa. Shengyun also hoarded more than two hundred rounds of artillery shells.
The purpose is very clear, which is to look for opportunities to cause chaos in Fengtian.
And this villa is not far from Fengtian City. With these two cannons, they can even raid the Governor's Mansion, which is a great threat. So many arms were found in the villa, which shows that the Zongshe Party has regarded this place as an important stronghold.
The operation was started. Soon the soldiers opened another warehouse. The things inside were colorful and it was a bit lively.
The soldiers moved out, and Zhang Zuoxiang took a look. It turned out that they were all dragon flags, yellow umbrellas, flower feathers on top, court uniforms and boots, etc. There was also a set of dragon robes, which looked about the same size and were prepared for Pu Yi in the Forbidden City.
In addition, there were many blank imperial edicts with official seals among them. After they were moved out, there was a pile. Some of the clothes were obviously modified with costumes. It seemed that these people regarded rebellion as playing house.
At this time, Zhang Tinglan also rushed over. When he entered the villa, he kept focusing on the documents that came and went. He just went to the warehouse in person, put together all the documents that Shanqi tried to destroy, and simply browsed them.
Suddenly, Zhang Tinglan was elated.
There are lists of members of the Zongshe Party; there are letters between them and the Japanese; there are accounts for hoarding supplies and purchasing arms; there are letters for bribing officials at all levels...
Everything is enough to shock people. In the land of the Republic of China, there are actually such a group of people who are trying to go against the grain and restore the Qing Dynasty. What is even more shocking is that they have made so many preparations, but the government did not notice anything and did not carry out any preparations.
Stop it, it seems that there are really no understanding people in Beiyang.
Without absolute control over local areas, there is no need to carry out any reforms or to enrich the country and strengthen the army. No matter how good the policies and ideas are, they will be turned into distortions by local cowards. A relatively clean and efficient administrative system is of great significance to the country.
, has unparalleled value, and the Beiyang administrative system has not even noticed such a huge hidden danger of the Zong Socialist Party, which shows what a failure it is.
Zhang Tinglan asked his men to carefully search all written materials. These are all incriminating evidence. He can use these things to set off a storm of public opinion and gain enough fame and benefits for the 27th Division. When he gets to the back, he will see everything
The official uniform of Long Banner also burst into laughter.
"Ting Lan, these colorful things look good, but when used as a rag, they don't absorb water and are too hard to wipe your butt. I think they're all burnt."
"No, this is the best evidence. The ambition of Shanqi Shengyun and others to restore the monarchy is clearly revealed. When this matter is over, these things will be sent to the museum. They will definitely be good collections."
Zhang Tinglan quickly asked people to clean it up. By this time, the soldiers had already investigated the surrounding situation and began to focus on cleaning up Shengyun's study. Soon everyone had a major harvest.
They found a hollowed-out wall with calligraphy and paintings covering the outside, and a large safe inside. Zhang Tinglan ordered the soldiers to go over and torture Sheng Yun, and soon got the key to open the box. After opening it, it was full of
It was in various notes, including Japanese yen, US dollars, and British pounds. The total amount was definitely not less than 200,000 oceans.
Everyone's eyes glowed green like wolves after seeing so much money. Zhang Zuoxiang was worried that the soldiers would lose control, so he immediately said to all the soldiers: "Brothers, everyone involved in the operation will have a silver reward. If you see anyone
If you dare to hide something, after reporting it, the thing he hid will belong to you, and the share he deserves will also belong to you, but I don’t want to receive this kind of report, does everyone understand? "
Facts have proved that Zhang Zuoxiang issued this order in a very timely manner, which at least made all the soldiers sober and not blinded by money and goods. Then they found several huge wooden boxes under the bed, which were filled with gold, silver, jewelry, etc.
There are also two boxes filled with oceans of goods, totaling fifty to sixty thousand yuan.
More than 30 boxes of opium were found in a nearby room, and they were all of the highest quality. They were neatly listed aside. Of course, Sheng Yun and the others were not hoarding opium for the purpose of reselling it for profit. They were treating opium as military supplies.
From the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, many armies were equipped with two-gun soldiers, one rifle and one pipe. Opium became the best weapon to boost morale. Shengyun worked hard for their dream of national restoration, so
They also hoarded an astonishing amount of opium.
Zhang Zuoxiang ordered his men to take out all the property and load it properly on the carriage. When they had almost picked up Shengyun's villa, the sky in the east had turned white, and they escorted the prisoners and property away from Shengyun's villa.
, rushed back to the military camp.
"Tinglan, Shengyun was known as an honest official when he was an official, but today it's all nonsense. The things we found in the villa alone are worth at least one million oceans. I don't know how much his entire family property is."
"Dad, you are right, these Manchu nobles are all wealthy people." Zhang Tinglan said thiefly as he spoke: "How about we grab a few more, even if we want to get ten million
Down."
Zhang Zuoxiang was stunned by the number of ten million for a moment. How many guns and cannons can be bought and how many troops can be equipped with this? However, he also knew that such a thing was rare. He shook his head suddenly and whispered: "
Tinglan, don't think nonsense. You should think about how to get through this situation now. We captured Shanqi and Shengyun, and also captured Kawashima Naniwa and Miki. Maybe we have alerted the Japanese. What's next is going to happen.
Be careful and don't be careless."
After Zhang Zuoxiang was speaking, a dozen tall horses ran over from the west road. Due to their extremely fast speed, the horses' hooves kicked up billowing dust and rushed straight towards their team.
Zhang Tinglan's sharp eyes immediately recognized the military uniforms of the people on the horse. These dozen people were Japanese soldiers. Dad's crow's mouth really came true. Sure enough, there were Japanese coming to cause trouble.
After Japan defeated the Russians, it also inherited Russia's aggressive interests. It had annexes along the railway line and had the power to garrison troops. Shengyun's villa was not far from Japan's Manchurian Railway annex. During the attack, fierce gunfire
The sound of artillery had alerted the Japanese, but they didn't know what was going on. Out of caution, they sent people to conduct reconnaissance and found that Chinese soldiers were attacking a manor.
The Japanese didn't pay attention at first, but then they came to their senses. The manor was Seiyun's villa. Nishimura Colonel, who was in charge of the garrison, and Kawashima Naniwa were good friends. The two of them had similar personalities, and they both worked to split China and make great achievements.
Dream.
Colonel Nishimura knew very well about the villa that Kawashima often mentioned, which was an important stronghold of the Clan Society Party. Nishimura hurriedly contacted Kawashima. What was even worse was that Kawashima also lost contact. Nishimura felt that something was wrong, and he immediately asked him to
His soldiers gathered together, and he personally led a dozen cavalrymen to pursue them.
Sitting on the tall Japanese horse, Nishimura had already seen a team of nearly a thousand people in the distance. Soldiers were driving away prisoners, and dozens of carts were moving slowly. He rushed over in a hurry.
"Stop, who are you?"
Although there were only a dozen people in Nishimura, he was not worried at all. It seemed that no amount of sheep could threaten the safety of the lions. He arrogantly rushed to the edge of the team, raised his whip, and shouted loudly.
When Zhang Zuoxiang saw that his crow's mouth had come true, he knew that he could only face it calmly, and he led his people to greet him. Nishimura had met Zhang Zuoxiang several times, so he forced a smile from the corner of his mouth: "General Zhang, you are
do what?"
"Colonel Nishimura, we discovered a bandit stronghold and just wiped out them. Please forgive me for causing any disturbance."
Nishimura was naturally dubious. At this moment, Miki, who was among the prisoners, suddenly saw Nishimura coming. He shouted loudly, asking Nishimura to rescue them.
When Nishimura heard that a Japanese had actually been arrested, he immediately raised his brows: "Baga, you dare to illegally arrest citizens of Great Japan, you must release them immediately." As he spoke, Nishimura had already grabbed the saber in his hand.
He held it in his hand, with a fierce light in his eyes, staring at Zhang Zuoxiang like a vicious wolf.
Zhang Zuoxiang would not back down at this time. He sneered: "Nishimura, don't the Japanese break the law? What we arrest are thugs who intend to harm China."
"You're lying!" Nishimura curled his lips and waved his hand violently. A dozen Japanese cavalry raised their guns and pointed their guns at Zhang Zuoxiang and others. There were even more people around Zhang Zuoxiang. Sun Anhu hurriedly ordered everyone to raise their hands too.
He raised his rifle and started to confront the Japanese. From the direction of the Manchurian Railway Annex, there was another sound of neat slogans, and three hundred well-equipped Japanese soldiers were rushing towards this direction quickly.
