Volume 2: The Smoke is Rolling, Chapter 74: No Way to Retreat

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Another person with no retreat is Shanxian Youpeng.

    When Naokami Matsubara took Taisho out of the palace, and when the rebels in Tokyo laid down their weapons and accepted Taisho's sanctions, Yamagata Aritomo was already forced to a dead end.  In the past, when Yamagata faced Naokami Matsubara, there were still people who supported him in terms of reputation, but now he faces Emperor Taisho and the reorganized Japanese cabinet.

    No matter in name or in terms of strength, Shanxian feels like a piece of meat on someone else's chopping board, only the one left to be stabbed.

    He thought about surrendering, and he even did it.  On the day the emperor came out, he submitted a confession and was willing to accept Taisho's sanctions.  Later, when he saw that Taisho actually let Terauchi Masaki in Tokyo, demoted Terauchi and Togo Heihachiro's handling knowledge, and even let Terauchi command the Japanese army, his desire to surrender became even stronger.

    He wrote dozens of letters to Taisho, begging Emperor Taisho to forgive him for being such an ignorant warrior for the sake of his lifelong struggle for the Japanese Empire.

    "It's a pity that he is not Masaki Terauchi nor Heihachiro Togo.  He is a friend of Shanxian County, and Taisho has long wanted to get rid of him.  Yamagata's letters were all seized by Taisho and neither published nor responded to.  It was as if Taisho had forgotten the existence of Yamaxian County. He placed Shanxian County outside Tokyo and did not make any decision to deal with it.

    After more than twenty days passed, there were not many people around Shanxian anymore.

    Although Tokyo's economy is still very depressed, order has been slowly restored.  Matsubara directly transferred supplies from all over Japan to ensure that Tokyo can survive this winter. Other places are really out of control now. Matsubara-kun is not that capable of running a mess. All his chips are now on the right.  If the United States wins the war, Japan will be able to pass this level.

    After Tokyo stabilized, it began to think about the source of all these disasters, and the trial of those grassroots officers in Tokyo also began.  At the same time, there is a voice that is getting louder and louder, and that is to deal with Shanxian Youpeng!

    Yamaxian knew that he was finished. Although this kind of public opinion arose among the people, neither the Emperor nor Naokami Matsubara made any statement, but Shanxian knew that the most terrifying thing was here.  If Taisho kills him, if Zhishang Matsubara catches him, then at least he will still be a character.  But when the Japanese people want to cut him into pieces, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

    There was a knock on the door, and Shanxian put his katana on the table: "Come in,"

    When Miura's footsteps entered the house.  Seeing that Shan Xian was very calm, it could even be said that there was a hint of excitement on his face: "Miura-kun, did you hear what I asked you to inquire about?"

    Miura bowed: "Hai! We have received definite news that Inoue Yoshikazu's fleet is ready to attack the Philippines. It is expected that the battle may start in ten days."

    Shanxian nodded: "Yo Xi, very good. I can go to death with peace of mind."

    "I think it would be good to die," Miura said, adding: "Your Excellency, go first. I will follow you immediately."

    Yamagata¡¯s expression suddenly changed, he stood up and slapped Miura on the face.

    "Baga! My death is enough, Miura-kun must live. I need you to live, maybe you will live in prison in the future. But you must live! Because you have to use your eyes to witness the future of Japan.  "

    Miura¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red: ¡°Hai!¡±

    As night falls slowly, Shanxian begins to prepare for death.  He kept drinking, one bottle after another.

    After drinking for more than three hours, he took off the katana he wore on his waist.  He handed it to Miura: "Miura-kun, you have followed me for more than thirty years, and in the end I can only give this to you. Please remember me."

    Miura knelt down and bowed, taking the sword with both hands.

    Shanxian took off his coat first, and then opened a box that had been placed beside him for a long time. There were medals one after another in it.  He pinned the medal on his white shirt: "These are all given to me by the emperor, including this dress."

    A strange look appeared on his face: "I'm leaving, Miura-kun, please get out.

    Miura bowed out.  Shanxian sat on the ground alone. His chest rose and fell sharply for a while, then he stabbed the knife into the left side of his stomach, then slashed it to the right side, and then raised it.

    At least he was right about one thing, he was a true samurai!

    This is a typical caesarean suicide. Not everyone has the courage to make several cuts on their body. Very few people dare to commit suicide in this way.  After completing these three actions, Shanxian just snorted coldly, and a stream of blood spurted out from his mouth.

    He hasn¡¯t fallen to the ground yet?, because his blood has not yet been drained.  At this time, he actually pulled the sword out of his abdomen and used the tip of the sword to search for the carotid artery under his ear, hoping to end it soon.

    After hearing the noise in the house, Miura turned back and saw that Shan Xian was still sitting with his bloody lower body and intestines flowing out.

    Miura leaned down: "Can I help you?"

    Shanxian gasped, "No need, go away!"

    In the eyes of a samurai, completing this process by oneself is a great honor.

    Twenty minutes later, Youpeng from Shan County left.  Two hours later, Miura and fourteen other Japanese officers broke into Tokyo with the intention of assassinating the new Prime Minister and went straight to Matsubara, where they were shot and killed.

    The next morning, Taisho announced the news that Yamagata Yuto died of illness in his official residence. He was knighted by Yamagata and buried in the Yasukuni Shrine according to national rites.

    The turmoil in Tokyo has now settled.

    At the same time that Mr. Matsubara's telegram was sent to Beijing, good news also came from the northwest. After the volunteer army entered Tibet, they won seven out of seven battles. The pro-British Tibetan armed forces were all defeated, except for a few who fled into southern Tibet. With the help of the British and Indian troops,  After entering outside India, most of the Tibetan soldiers were surrounded by us and put down their weapons after being persuaded by the Panchen Lama.

    The guys who fled to India are really a bit of trouble, but they can only cause us some trouble.  Du Yuesheng immediately introduced a policy to treat foreigners. First of all, we respect the Buddhist tradition in Tibetan areas, and the government will repair temples damaged by the war.  Then we respected the Panchen's status in the country and appointed the Panchen as chairman of the country's Religious Affairs Bureau and also as vice-chairman of the National Religious Association.

    Implement the reform of separation of education and administration in the system.  Du Yuesheng knew that China would soon implement Shanxi's political system. He sent a telegram asking the central government to suspend the issue of Tibet because Tibetans are basically Lamaists and the Potala Palace has ruled them for hundreds of years.  Year, if you let them choose.  The one they selected must be a lama.

    Li Yuanhong agreed with Du Yuesheng's opinion and erased the ** area in the upcoming political reform.  This is also the first time that we have implemented special policies for a certain part of the country.

    Ni Bodhisattva basically didn¡¯t have much communication with Commander Yang in the past. Except for some inextricable matters that needed to be discussed, he wouldn¡¯t have any contact with Yang Xiaolin if he could.  But things are different now. One of them is in charge of politics and the other is in charge of military affairs, and their exchanges have gradually increased.

    There is also Tang Shaoyi. The Prime Minister and the Cabinet are also facing a huge problem now, that is, the problem of returned overseas Chinese.

    It is fair to say that the main reason why many overseas Chinese go abroad in this era is that the domestic environment is not good.  Not to mention the oppression during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even after the founding of New China, we were also faced with constant wars around us, which only slowly subsided in the past two years.

    In addition, the reputation of Yang Dagui, a bandit, was too tarnished by the West. When the volunteers entered Beijing, many qualified people left China and all those who could leave China left.  Yang Xiaolin has never complained about these people, because life is so realistic, everyone pursues his own happiness, and then thinks about making his family happy.  When these are accomplished, they will consider doing something for our motherland.

    Those who leave are not necessarily unpatriotic. During our wars against Russia and Japan, overseas Chinese gave us unimaginable help.  But some people who left felt a bit down on their luck.

    Chinese people have two choices when going abroad.  The rich go to Europe and enjoy the life of high-class citizens, while the poor go to Southeast Asia and work hard for themselves.

    Most of those who go to Europe have heard about how good the West is.  Went regardless.  After arriving, they were somewhat disappointed. First of all, the differences in language and culture inevitably created a gap in their hearts. They originally felt like a lonely leaf drifting away.

    At that time they can still comfort themselves.  Not bad, at least it is safer than China.  But now that the artillery fire is about to start in Europe, China is becoming more and more stable. Going home has become what those overseas Chinese want to do most.

    This wave started last year. At that time, local governments also opened the door to overseas Chinese who returned home. Whether you were unhappy or returned to your hometown with great success, as long as you wanted to come back, there was a door open for you.

    We in China have been like this to wanderers since ancient times, not to mention that at that time we could even accept Indians, Koreans and Russians, and naturally we would not have a face towards our compatriots.

    But this year is different. As soon as the immigration control regulations are promulgated, these people will first face a very serious problem if they want to come back, that is, they are foreigners. If they cannot abandon their foreign status, they will have no way to obtain identity documents in China.  .

     China may give you a Chinese ID card as a French person, and there is no room for bargaining on this point.  According to the regulations, they must first cancel their foreign nationality and then become Chinese nationals.

    But now all European countries are recruiting soldiers. For some citizens who are over 18 years old, whether it is Britain, France or Germany and Austria, they will not let you leave just as you say.

    Some people also take a roundabout route and go to East Timor first, because East Timor is a country that allows dual nationality. They first obtain an East Timor identity certificate there, and then find a way to break away from their current nationality, and finally join Chinese citizenship from East Timor.

    This method also works, but the problem is that if you want to obtain formal status in East Timor, there is a hard condition, that is, you must live in East Timor for five years.  In other words, within five years they will still be foreigners. Even if they live in East Timor, Western countries can call them to fight for their "motherland".

    Another way is for rich people to come and stay in China in the name of tourism.  Originally, they thought they knew some people at home, and if the villagers didn't report them, the government wouldn't take care of them.  When they came back, they found that things were not what they thought.

    The villagers did not report them, and the government never came to investigate.  But children need an identity to go to school, and you need an identity to buy land and build a house. Even if they want to find a formal and better job, they can't find it.  I am obviously Chinese, but I can only work illegally. This feeling makes me cry without tears.  (To be continued)
