Chapter 388: Return to the clan (please subscribe and vote)
Cheng Qianfan took the message with both hands and read it.
He looked surprised.
This telegram is a "coordinated investigation report" sent by the Nantou County Police Department to Shanghai.
The message stated that a gangster surnamed Lin from Nantou County was suspected of fleeing to Shanghai, and the relevant departments in Shanghai were requested to help hunt down the gangster.
"Section Chief." Cheng Qianfan put down the message and asked in confusion, "Capturing rural gangsters is not the job of our special higher education department."
His tone was a bit disdainful and indifferent.
Jiro Sanbon glanced at him, and he understood the reason for Kentaro Shirayaki's attitude. Judging from the telegram alone, it was as absurd as a police station reporting to the gendarmerie, asking the gendarmerie to help capture a chicken thief.
"Miyazaki-kun, think about it carefully." Sanbonjiro scolded, "If he were an ordinary gangster, would Treasure Island take him so seriously?"
Miyazaki Kentaro will definitely be a very smart agent if he puts all his shrewd energy in making money into his work.
Cheng Qianfan blinked, "Is there something else going on in this joint investigation report?"
Seeing Sanbonjiro nodding, Cheng Qianfan showed an innocent expression:
If you didn’t tell me, how would I know there was something inside?
…
“Section Chief, who is this gangster named Lin?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“After the empire occupied the treasure island, there were three major gangsters on the island. Do you know about this?” Sanbonjiro asked.
“The section chief refers to the three leaders of the tiger, lion, and cat rebels?” Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and asked.
“Yes, it is these three people.” Sanbonjiro nodded.
“Could it be that this gangster named Lin is related to Lin Shaomao back then?” Cheng Qianfan was moved in his heart and asked.
Treasure Island has been a sacred and inalienable part of China’s territory since ancient times.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead a fleet of more than 10,000 people and discovered the treasure island. It has been more than 1,700 years since then.
Since then, Treasure Island has become part of China’s sacred territory:
Penghu in the Southern Song Dynasty belonged to Fujian Road.
In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, an inspection department was set up in Penghu.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong regained the treasure island.
In the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the former Qing Dynasty, Baodao Prefecture was established and belonged to Fujian Province.
Baodao Province was established in the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the former Qing Dynasty, and Liu Mingchuan was appointed as the first governor of Baodao.
During his tenure in Taiwan, Liu Mingchuan carried out a series of Westernization reforms such as training the new army and building railways; he opened coal mines, established telecommunications, developed shipping, promoted trade, and developed education, which promoted the progress of Taiwan's modern industry, commerce, and defense.
After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1899, the Qing government was cut off from power, and Liu Mingchuan died of grief and indignation.
The bad news reached Baodao, and the whole island was sad and angry.
With the oath of "I hope everyone will die in battle and lose power, I will never give up power," Baodao began its epic history of struggle against the Japanese occupation.
…
In the 21st year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the former Qing Dynasty, the Japanese army landed at the bottom of Dong'ao, Keelung.
In order to defend the territory of their motherland, the heroic people of Baodao used inferior equipment to fight against the Japanese invading troops for nearly five months, killing and wounding 32,000 Japanese troops.
Japan's most elite force, the main Guards Division that invaded Taiwan, was annihilated. Nearly half of the division commander, Lieutenant General Prince Noku, and the brigade commander, Major General Yamane Nobunari, were seriously injured and killed.
However, due to the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the rebels were isolated and helpless, ran out of ammunition and food, suffered heavy casualties, and ultimately failed to defend Taiwan against the Japanese.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs persuaded the anti-Japanese leaders Qiu Fengjia and Liu Yongfu to have to weep inward.
After Qiu Fengjia and Liu Yongfu returned to the mainland, the anti-Japanese struggle in Baodao entered the period of "Three Fierce Anti-Japanese":
The three anti-Japanese leaders, Ke Tiehu, Jian Dashi, and Lin Shaomao, were called the Three Fierce Anti-Japanese Forces at the time, and the Japanese scornfully called them the three bandit leaders of Baodao.
…
In the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu's reign, the Japanese army used a soft policy and used traitors to lure Ke Tiehu to surrender. Ke Tiehu, who was seriously ill, was surrounded by the Japanese army. In order to save his men, he was forced to sign an equal peace treaty with the Japanese army. Two years later, Ke Tiehu, who was seriously ill, died of worry and anger. .
Two years later, the Japanese army drove the squires to persuade Ke Tiehu's old troops to surrender. Thirty-eight rebels, totaling nearly 6,000 people, went down the mountain for peace talks. They were surrounded by the renegade Japanese army and all were killed.
At this point, all the remaining members of Ke Tiehu's army were killed.
In the same year, another anti-Japanese rebel army led by Lin Shaomao was also murdered by the Japanese army.
Lin Shaomao's troops are mysterious and attacking Japanese troops everywhere. They are regarded as a serious problem by Gentaro Kodama, the "governor" of Treasure Island.
That year, Lin Shaomao celebrated his mother's birthday. His fellow villagers and traitors Su Yunying (Su Zhenchang's grandfather) and Su Yunti (Su Zhenchang's uncle) betrayed the address of Lin Shaomao's headquarters to the Japanese army and personally led the way.
The Japanese army entered the anti-Japanese base area where Lin Shaomao was commanding. None of the hundreds of Lin Shaomao’s family and subordinates surrendered, and all of them died for the country.
Before this, another one of the three fierce anti-Japanese warriors, Jian Dashi, had also died.
In the 21st year of Guangxu's reign, Baodao was ceded to Japan and the Japanese army occupied Baodao. Jian Dashi rebelled in Tamsui and led the resistance against Japan for three years.
The Japanese army entered the mountains for encirclement and suppression. Jian Dashi was unable to gain a foothold on Treasure Island and sneaked back to Zhangzhou, Fujian.
The Japanese invaders coerced the Qing government and demanded the capture of Jian Dashi.
The Qing government obediently obeyed the order and sent troops to capture the great lion Jian.
Jian Dashi knew he would die and asked the Qing government to kill him in Zhangzhou. He did not want to die on the treasure island occupied by the Japanese.
The Qing government ignored it and handed Jian Dashi to the Japanese. The Japanese tortured Jian Dashi in various ways and then killed him in public.
After Jian Dashi was killed, the whole country was shocked and all the people were angry.
In the late Qing Dynasty, Qian Zhenquan, a martial scholar, wrote a poem with grief and indignation: "When the hero shed his blood, the sea tide mountain was full of weeping dragons. In the history of the country, loyalty and righteousness were passed down. Don't forget the big lion of Taiwan."
Shanghai's "Shenbao" once commented: "Taiwan's righteous citizen Jian Dashi strives for China and all Taiwan. He is the most ambitious person in China."
Tigers, lions, and cats have all been dead for more than thirty years, but their majesty lasts forever. They are still remembered by the people in Baodao who are unwilling to be slaves to their country. Some anti-Japanese rebels still call themselves the remnants of the three fierce anti-Japanese forces.
…
The ‘Assisted Investigation Report’ stated that the gangster’s surname was Lin, and the three books also specifically mentioned the three major ‘bandit leaders’ in Baodao. Cheng Qianfan immediately thought of Lin Shaomao.
"This person's surname is Lin Mingzhen, and he claims to be Lin Shaomao's grandnephew." Sanbonjiro said.
"It shouldn't be." Cheng Qianfan said doubtfully, "I heard that when the imperial army captured Lin Shaomao's stronghold, in order to eliminate the root cause, they even spared babies in swaddling clothes and pregnant women. , how could a fish slip through the net?”
“Lin Zhen claimed that his parents happened to be away from the bandits’ den, so they escaped punishment from the empire. The couple later gave birth to him.” Sanbonjiro said, “This person is quite capable of demagoguery and is good at inciting mobs.”
He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Cheng Qianfan.
This is a confidential file. In March last year, a "mob" attacked a Japanese police station in Nantou County. Two Japanese police officers were shattered and many others were injured.
In the following more than a year, the Nantou Military Police arrested and killed more than 30 people.
The last time was a few months ago, when four people were arrested after being identified by "surrenders".
Among these four people, one was caught and killed on the spot, and the two were later tortured and refused to reveal anything, and were eventually hanged.
Another person was tortured but could not confess, saying that Lin Zhen, the ‘bandit leader’, is currently hiding in Shanghai.
…
“The section chief suspects that Lin Zhen is hiding in the French Concession?” Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and asked.
"It's possible in the French Concession, the Public Concession, or even the Chinese Concession." Sanbonjiro said, "Your mission is to secretly search for this person in the French Concession. If you find any trace of this person, you must kill Lin Zhen and his gang members." arrest."
"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan saluted respectfully, and then asked, "Section Chief, my subordinates still don't know the gangster Lin Zhen's headquarters. What is the name of their organization?"
“The Chinese treasure island is returned to the clan society.” Sanbonjiro said.
“Asshole!” Cheng Qianfan was angry and gritted his teeth, “The treasure island belongs to the Japanese Empire. They want to return to the clan. Where will they go? China will be fully occupied by the Japanese Empire!”
“So, the only way to deal with these stubborn resisters is to destroy their bodies, and everything will be quiet.” Sanbonjiro said.
“Yes, Section Chief Mingjian.” Cheng Qianfan gave a thumbs up, then he put down the document in his hand and frowned, “Is there any further information about Lin Zhen and his party members?”
"No." Sanbonjiro shook his head, "The person who told Lin Zhen's whereabouts had not seen Lin Zhen, but he told another story."
“What’s going on?” Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed and asked.
"This person said that Zheng Qingshui's accomplice Sheng Aihua is also hiding in Shanghai, and Lin Zhen has a close relationship with this person." Sanbonjiro said.
"Zheng Qingshui?" Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful, "Search, who is this person? He sounds familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment."
“The Keelung explosion.” Sanbonjiro reminded.
“It turns out it’s him.” Cheng Qianfan showed a surprised expression, “This person actually has some accomplices to escape?”
Three years ago, Zheng Qingshui, a patriotic young man from Baodao, sneaked into the Keelung Police Station in Japan alone and blew up some buildings, injuring two Japanese. This was known as the "Keelung Explosion."
"Now, we have reason to suspect that Zheng Qingshui's associates and Lin Zhen's subordinates have merged." Sanbonjiro said with a serious expression, "These people are extremely hostile to the empire and are a hidden danger to the security and stability of the island. They must all be captured. , destroy!”
“Yes!” Cheng Qianfan quickly stood up with his feet together, bowing his head respectfully.
…
Leaving Jilaihuoxing East Street, Cheng Qianfan sat in a rickshaw, lost in thought.
‘Chinese Treasure Island Guizong Society’!
This name touched his heart deeply.
Treasure Island has been in enemy hands for more than 40 years!
Return to the clan!
This is the lifelong long-cherished wish of Taiwanese patriots like Lin Zhen and other Taiwanese patriots!
The sound of gunfire from Huajie and Hongkou was in his ears. Cheng Qianfan raised his eyes and took a deep breath.
What happened to Baodao is the biggest warning to all Chinese people, including Baodao.
‘Chinese Treasure Island Returns to Zongshe’, Lin Zhen and others hope that the Treasure Island will one day return to the embrace of the motherland.
Countless patriots, including Cheng Qianfan himself, are currently doing the work they are willing to sacrifice their lives and blood to resist the aggression of Japanese imperialism:
Cheng Qianfan didn’t want his next generation to be forced to secretly name the resistance organization Nian Zong!
He remembered what Peng Yuou once said. Many universities, including National Fudan Public School, secretly print history books and protect them with great care.
Everyone is resisting with a tragic and determined heart:
…
The sound of guns and artillery in the Chinese border did not affect the hustle and bustle of the concession too much.
Telastro Road, safe house.
Cheng Qianfan stood by the window, listening to the shouts of the vendors downstairs, the scolding of his aunt, and the mother-in-law pointing at her husband's nose and cursing in the street. The ashamed and angry husband covered his face and hid in the house.
very nice.
He said in his heart.
Looking at the time on the watch, it was almost a quarter past three in the afternoon.
This is the time agreed with the Nanjing headquarters for receiving and sending reports.
Cheng Qianfan went to the back bedroom, closed the door, and locked it.
Sit behind your desk, turn on the radio, and put on your headphones.
On the table was a loaded Mauser pistol and two German grenades.
eaten。
After a while.
Cheng Qianfan took off his earphones and quickly translated the message.
The caller told two things.
First, Dai Chunfeng sent a telegram, ordering the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group to transfer the intelligence information of the Jiangkou Special Operations Team to the Shanghai Security Command, which would arrange for military police to be responsible for destroying the Jiangkou Special Operations Team.
The telegram sent the contact information with the Shanghai Garrison Command.
For safety reasons, Dai Chunfeng specifically told Mr. Xiao that he did not need to meet with the other party in person, but could arrange for a subordinate.
…
Second thing, Dai Chunfeng responded to Cheng Qianfan’s previous inquiry about Eguchi Hideya from the headquarters.
The Shanghai Station of the Secret Service responded to this matter by saying that last year's "Operation Sentiment" assassinated Eiichi Kagezu, and Hideo Eguchi was also seriously injured.
Subsequently, this person was sent back to China by the Japanese side for treatment, and contact was lost.
recently I learned by chance that Hideya Eguchi has returned to Shanghai, and the Shanghai Station is preparing to contact Hideya Eguchi again:
However, for safety reasons, no contact action has been taken yet.
Cheng Qianfan took the telegram, although the Shanghai Station’s explanation of the matter seemed reasonable.
Eguchi was seriously injured and returned to Japan. He lost contact with Eguchi. Shanghai Station did not know what happened to Eguchi after losing contact, and did not dare to contact him rashly.
At first glance, it seems quite reasonable.
However, Cheng Qianfan immediately judged that there was something wrong here.
Because from beginning to end, the Shanghai station’s reply did not involve one person: Keiko!
…
In "Operation Love", although Keiko did not actually "appear", this woman played a crucial role in this operation.
After the operation "Qing Shang" was over, Cheng Qianfan secretly collected the money from Keiko's "Chinese Husband" family and pretended to arrange someone in the detention center to kill Keiko "without anyone noticing".
However, in private, he secretly "released" Keiko and handed Keiko over to the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service, using this woman to control and blackmail Hideya Eguchi.
However, in this reply from the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service, there is no mention of the whereabouts of Keiko, who played such an important role. There must be something strange in it.
Cheng Qianfan immediately thought about calling the Nanjing headquarters and reporting the matter to Dai Chunfeng.
However, just as he was drafting the telegram and preparing to send it, he put down the pencil in his hand and without hesitation lit the telegram manuscript directly and put it into the brazier.
How could Dai Chunfeng not know about things that he could think of?
