Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 342 Assassination of Ito Hirobumi
In October 1909, these two important events happened in Shanhaiguan. On October 10, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was officially opened to traffic. This railway built by the Chinese has greatly inspired the hearts of the people. At least from this moment, The country's buried railroad soul has officially planted its seeds.

At this time, there were two invitation letters on Zhan Tianyou's table, one from the north and one from the south.

The opening of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has given the world a great understanding of the skills of this young boy who had studied in the United States. The Chinese also have this technology!To the surprise of the Qing court, the construction of the railway saved 28 silver dollars compared with the previous budget.But the railway was opened to traffic, and the Qing court's ability to unload and kill donkeys came up. As the host, Zhan Tianyou was considered relaxed, and his fate became a problem for the Qing court.

The hunter department keenly analyzed that the Qing court seemed to have no intention of arranging Zhan Tianyou's follow-up work. Most of the railways in the Qing Dynasty were still funded by foreigners!After Zhu Chuanwen's instructions, Hanyao came forward to solicit. The invitation letter on Zhan Tianyou's desk from the north was sent by Hanyao. He wanted to invite him to be the general manager of Hanyao Railway Company to build railways for some areas in Heilongjiang Province, and to a greater extent. Admiral Black Province is closely connected together.

Of course, Zhan Tianyou had heard of this company similar to a military-industrial complex in the north, at least a few years ago, he had received a similar invitation, but looking at this sincere invitation letter, as a native of Wuyuan, Jiangxi He hesitated again and again, still harboring nostalgia in his heart and wanting to be closer to home. After recommending a few of his students there, he himself accepted Nanfang's invitation.

The invitation letter from the south was exactly the invitation of the Guangdong-Han Railway Corporation of the Guangdong Commercial Office, asking him to be the general manager.When he just came back from the United States, he had stayed in Fujian, and he was very accustomed to the climate there. After hesitation, he chose the south, but he also secretly paid attention to the Kanto.

For this, Zhu Chuanwen felt a little sorry, but he didn't force it. Anyway, this was the second time he was rejected.To be honest, the south is indeed more populous than the north, and there are more powerful businessmen. The climate in the Kanto is not pleasant. This is an obvious shortcoming. After that, the hunters stopped paying attention to Zhan Tianyou. Students who build railways are enough for Hanyao at least for now.

The second thing is a loss for the Qing court. On October 10th, Zhang Zhidong died. During the Westernization Movement, he was listed as the four ministers of Westernization in the late Qing Dynasty along with Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang. The old man finally left.

The death of Zhang Zhidong made the Qing court feel a little sorry. After all, there is no one who can be used now. If there is one less, the sustainable development of talents has obviously come to a standstill.

Ice city
Nie Shi took the news of Zhang Zhidong's death and left from Hanyao's headquarters. He wanted to find a place where no one was there to mourn his former boss.

Zhu Chuanwen watched Nie Shize leave without consolation. How can I say that birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and such things will always happen in a lifetime, but now he is concerned about a few uninvited guests who have recently come to Bingcheng. "Xia Chi! An Zhonggen has come to Bingcheng?"

"Boss, things as big as the ice city can't escape our eyes now. The Severed Finger Alliance, a group with obvious characteristics, we have already let the eyes of the ice city pay attention, and we discovered it as soon as we entered the ice city. Now , They lived in a shop run by a North Korean in Ice City, and according to our intelligence analysis, it should be that Ito Hirobumi is still a little bit unwilling to give up, planning to assassinate the North Korean commander in Ice City."

"Well, continue to pay attention. If you decide to do it, we will give you convenience without showing any trace."

"Boss, I think that if we report this matter to the Japanese, then Xiao Liu Zhengji might make a great contribution!" Xia Chi wanted to bury his people deeper, and now Xiao Liu Zheng Ji is already a section chief in the Kanto Prefecture Chrysanthemum Office, so he can take advantage of his position to send Ito Hirobumi's visit to Ice City back to the hunter department.

Although the North Korean action failed, it also proved from the side that if there is no hunter intelligence support, the North Koreans are really stretching their hips.

"No need, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating, let Xiao Liu Zhengji return to the ice city again, and a dead Ito Hirobumi is obviously more in line with our interests." Zhu Chuanwen made up his mind this time, the old devil came to the ice city , then let him come and go without return. If An Zhonggeun fails, then it is not impossible for the hunter to do it.

The Japanese and Russians came to Ice City to negotiate, and he knew what would happen.

"Understood, boss, let's start to arrange." Xia Chi went out to make arrangements...

Ice City·North Korea Store
It can be said that Ahn Jung-geun escaped from death in North Korea this time. The established Japanese cavalry chased the more than 500 people he brought with him, and more than 300 were killed at once. After all, North Korea is still their territory, escaped from the plains around the train track, and then drilled into the mountains, but no one could find them.

After escaping from around Pyongyang and returning to the mountains and rivers near Guseong, Pyongan Road, An Zhonggeun hid again. This time, for the rebel army he led, the loss was not insignificant, and he died all with his own hands. The backbone of the Korean rebel army trained, and two infantry artillery were also blown up. If this team attacks the city in the future, it will have no sharp weapon.

And he also suffered some gunshot wounds, and while he was recovering from his injuries, his subordinates saw the news that Ito Hirobumi had arrived in Ice City a few days ago to meet the Russians in the collected Japanese newspapers.

The injured An Jung-geun made a bold decision to sneak into the ice city with a few confidants.

Ito Hirobumi must die!This is An Jung-geun's current obsession. Well-educated, he knows that Ito Hirobumi knows the North Koreans too well. If things go on like this, North Korea's destruction of the country is just around the corner.

Speaking of which, Ito Hirobumi's skills are indeed powerful. As for why this is so, it is the result of many years of practice. As Japan's first, fifth, seventh, and tenth prime ministers, he has served as the speaker of the Privy Council and the nobleman. President of the Institute and father of the Meiji Constitution.He knows too well what needs to be accumulated from a backward agricultural country to become an industrial country, relying on his excellent grasp of people's hearts.

Ito Hirobumi, who established education, encouraged business, and liberated the lowest-level slaves in North Korea, made the lowest-level North Korean people generally feel that being ruled by the Japanese seemed to be no problem.

After all, North Korea is much better now than the Lee Dynasty.

This is also the reason why North Korea produced both men and women during World War II.

Just like the Semu people in the Yuan Dynasty, except for the Mongols, they could never escape the title of Erguizi. Zhu Chuanwen vaguely remembered that Li Wanyong seemed to have become a Japanese directly, and was named Japanese Chinese.During World War II, North Korean troops also acted as helpers, and the highest-ranking North Korean general of the regular army seemed to be a lieutenant general.

Speaking of An Jung-geun, who is recovering from his injuries and waiting for the right time, Bingcheng is no different from North Korea. It obviously has its own laws and regulations. Since entering Bingcheng, An Jong-geun has always felt that someone is staring at him. It may be the illusion of a new environment. After a few fruitless investigations, he could only comfort himself like this.

This North Korean store was opened by an old acquaintance of An Jung-geun. To be honest, the two of them still had some conflicts, but in Bingcheng, he had only one place to go, and it was to protect the family. After this old acquaintance, all three members of the family were tied up in a woodshed in the backyard.

"President, the assassination gun has been obtained." An Zhonggeun's subordinates came in and rushed to report.

He took a cloth pocket, which contained two old shell guns.

"Do you know where you got it from?" An Zhonggen was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that it was too easy to get a gun in Bingcheng.

"From the boss's room, President, you said that you should treat this family well. We have never talked to them since we were locked in the firewood house, so we can only search by ourselves. I didn't expect to find them in the cabinet of their house. I found this gun. Chairman, your old acquaintance doesn't seem to be a well-behaved person."

"It should be in the private possession of the shop owner. The bandits in the Qing Dynasty were too serious in the past. This gun may or may not be used for life-saving..." An Zhonggen analyzed according to his previous understanding. "By the way, call everyone in and explain to you."

After the five people gathered in An Jung-geun's room, he, the leader of the Severed Finger Society, said, "I don't guarantee that this task will have a chance of success, but if it is carried out, the risk of being arrested is extremely high. Quit, I agree."

From the very beginning, An Jung-geun was an idealistic person. The first time he took 50 people to counterattack the North Korean mainland, he said that the captured Japanese were released, because after a few words, he learned from the Japanese. It was found in the words that Japanese civilians did not want to fight this battle, but there was no way. Today's Japanese civilians can only obey the orders from above.

Although Ahn Jung-geun didn't know, the Japanese who was released by him were the culprits who denounced him...

Personality is not easy to change, just like today, when the action is approaching, Ahn Jung-geun still allows people to quit.If the person who quit has selfish intentions to report at this time, then this group of people will die before they leave the school!

"President, we did it, Ito Hirobumi will not die, and North Korea will never have peace!"

Fortunately, the people brought here this time are all Ahn Jung-geun's die-hards, and each of them expressed their steadfast attitude.

"Okay, when the time comes, we will join the welcome group of the Japanese people in Ice City. We only have two guns now, one for me and one for Park Il-chang and you. If I fail, you can make up for it. If it succeeds, we will evacuate according to the plan. , and the remaining 3 people are ready to lead us to retreat, if Park and I are directly arrested, abandon us and flee the ice city directly!" An Jung-geun said his plan.

"Got it, President!"

……

An Zhonggeun's assassination plan was thus settled.

At the headquarters of Hanyao, after Zhu Chuanwen asked Xia Chi to continue to stare at An Jung-geun, he rushed towards the direction of the Bingcheng Council. Near the end of October, Bingcheng also came to a big man, that is, the Russian Minister of Finance Kokovice husband.

Zhu Chuanwen, as a vice president on the bright side of Bingcheng, is naturally qualified to meet this powerful faction in St. Petersburg.

When they arrived at the office building of the Ice City Council, Berg and the others had just come down from upstairs.

"Vice President Zhu, accompany me to Bingcheng Railway Station!"

Vladimir Kokovtsev was very cautious after arriving in the ice city, and did not see anyone except Andrei and Berg alone.

The next day, October 1909, 10

There was a burst of joy at the Bingcheng Railway Station, which was very grand.

Zhu Chuanwen was standing among a group of Russians, slightly on the edge of the first row, with Berg beside him, and Andrei was accompanying Kokovtsev, showing that their identities were different.

Russians and Japanese are okay.But in the welcome team, under the organization of Binjiang Tongzhi, there are also opera troupes from Binjiang City playing and playing.

Zhu Chuanwen really couldn't figure it out in his heart. It's okay for the Russians to welcome them. What did Tongzhi Binjiang do when he got involved? Don't he really know what the Japanese and the Russians are talking about?

Urine sex!
Zhu Chuanwen looked at the fellow magistrate of Binjiang Mansion who was standing in front of the insurance queue in the distance, wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, and cursed in his heart, if he didn't have some ghosts in his heart this time, this fellow magistrate would definitely let him withdraw these things. Bingcheng engages in these things...

"Chairman, is the Korean inspector from Japan waiting to come?" Zhu Chuanwen asked knowingly to find a topic.

"Yeah, I really want to communicate with this person." Berg also looked at the quiet track, Huahua actually wanted to contact this person to see if he could observe any useful information...

This time Ito Hirobumi came and changed trains. From Kanto Prefecture, I took the special train of the Japanese Nanman Railway Company. When I arrived in Changchun, I transferred to the special train prepared by the Russian Dongqing Railway Company for Ito Hirobumi.

When the train slowly entered the heavily guarded Bingcheng Railway Station, the team belonging to the Qing Dynasty became lively.

The Russian government specially dispatched a team of film crews, turned the camera with great interest, and started filming towards this group of people...

Talking about the welcome crowd, they all lined up and stood on the side of the platform of the ice train station.

First of all, the Japanese group organized by the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, they are among them who sincerely welcome the arrival of Ito Hirobumi.

The second is the Russians, Zhu Chuanwen among them. In this team, Kokovtsev, who is guarding in the middle, is the center, and on the other side is the film crew recording the talks between Japan and Russia. Nicholas II attaches great importance to this Russian-Japanese meeting. He also especially loves movies, so this is also for post-watching.On one side is the Ice City authority headed by Andre, Berg, the police chief, and Zhu Chuanwen.

In addition, there are two rows of ice city garrison troops behind everyone and Russian mass groups.

Finally, but also standing in the innermost, are the Qing people.Headed by the "Binjiang Pass" Shi Zhaoji and Binjiang Tongzhi who are in charge of Bingcheng Customs, in addition to government and civilian representatives, there is also a Qing army honor guard formed by a small new army borrowed from Zhu's insurance team, lined up on the platform.

A group of people and their grand posture welcomed the arrival of Ito Hirobumi.

woo~
The sound of the train approaching, after the special train stopped.

Under Zhu Chuanwen's surprised eyes, Kokovtseff got on the train.

This?
Zhu Chuanwen wanted to scold his mother a little bit, didn't this old devil plan to come down?In addition to An Zhonggeun, Zhu Chuanwen deployed more than one group of snipers upstairs not far away. After An Zhonggeun failed, these people would take his place and directly blame the North Koreans.

Like the North Koreans, North Korea, which is in turmoil and cannot provide support, but is instead a quagmire, can better agree with the interests of the Qing Dynasty and even Zhu Chuanwen. Therefore, killing Ito Hirobumi in Ice City this time is a very good move in Zhu Chuanwen's opinion. Opportunities may even cause conflicts between Russia and Japan.

But if you don't get off the car, how do you do it?
The Russians did a good job of security. In order not to startle the enemy, the hunter department did not plan to plant explosives at all.

Zhu Chuanwen was expressionless on the platform, but he was anxious in his heart.

On the train

"Your Excellency Ito, welcome to Ice City! In the name of the Honorary Commander of the Russian Border Guard Corps, I thank you for your visit this time." Ke Kefutseff reached out to Ito Hirobumi as he got on the train.

"Your Excellency Kokfutseff, thank you! Let's get straight to the point. I'm looking forward to the talks on the train arranged by your country." Ito Hirobumi took the other party's hand and said in a friendly manner. This is the reason for the transfer to the special train. Yes, the Russians are very pragmatic, and the meeting arrangements are carried out directly on the train.

"Then let's get started!" Kokfutseff sat opposite Ito Hirobumi. "According to His Majesty the Emperor, there can only be two forces in the Far East!" Ke Kefutseff was very kind, because the Qing Dynasty's series of coquettish operations made the situation in Kanto complicated and confusing. He had just rested from the blood of the war. Japan and Russia that came down, driven by the common interests and crisis in Northeast China, quickly turned their enemies into friends like a drama.

The meeting between Ito Hirobumi and Kokovtseff was to discuss how to coordinate and respond to complex international pressures.

Yes, if the German forces in Qilu and the capital forces in the United States reach out to the Kanto, then cutting off these tentacles will be a matter of the same hatred between Japan and Russia.

"We also mean the same thing. Our Emperor is willing to abide by all the contents of the "Portsmouth Treaty" and ensure that his own interests remain unchanged!" Ito Hirobumi is an old fox, which set the tone for this meeting.

In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was the victor, and the "Treaty of Portsmouth" also had a slight advantage over Japan.

"Your Excellency Ito, I think Japan's interests in South Manchuria will bear the brunt of the brunt. Can you still defend the southern part of Sakhalin Island and all the nearby islands?" Kokovtsev narrowed his eyes. Dealing with foreign forces is one aspect. Of course, the Tsar I still intend to take the opportunity to gain some benefits. In the Treaty of Portsmouth, Russia rarely ceded a lot of territory to Japan, including the four northern islands that are much disputed by later generations.

Anyway, in history, it changed hands several times.

"Your Excellency Kokovtseff, the Japanese Empire is capable of dealing with forces from other countries. I think your country should pay attention to its interests in North Manchuria. I heard that the Qing Dynasty plans to introduce American capital to build the Changchun-Korean railway. The Americans come in. Now, it’s not just a matter of wanting a little profit, these businessmen can eat people!” Ito Hirobumi said with a smile.

The talks between the two lasted 25 minutes, and nothing was decided in the end, but the final tone was set. Based on the "Treaty of Portsmouth", Japan and Russia will jointly resist the infiltration of the forces of all countries after them.

"Your Excellency Ito, that's it for the time being. The next meeting will be held in three days. Now, it's time for us to show up..." Kokfutseff invited Ito Hirobumi to inspect the guard of honor and welcome the crowd.

Due to the special arrangement of the Tongzhi of Binjiang Prefecture, the closest thing to the special train was not the honor guard of the Russian army, but the guard of honor of the Qing army, in order to emphasize China's "first landlord" status.Ito Hirobumi shook hands with Shi Zhaoji, inspected the guard of honor of the Qing army, then inspected the Russian army, and finally the welcome team of Japanese merchants and people.

Zhu Chuanwen had already found a small man among the Japanese businessmen who were staring at him.

I was wondering if he would make a move.

When Ito Hirobumi turned back and wanted to leave with Kokovtseff.From the ranks of Japanese merchants, a short young man wearing a peaked cap and a suit suddenly rushed out and took out a pistol.

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

Zhu Chuanwen clearly saw that this person directly pushed away the backs of the Japanese welcome team members in front, and rushed forward, taking advantage of no one around to react, and shot three shots at Hirobumi Ito's chest.

After confirming that the hit was complete, there were Japanese officials staring at Hirobumi Ito. These people wore tall hats to hide their height, but it could be seen that they were all Hirobumi Ito's closest subordinates, and the bullets were pouring towards these people again. and go.

The gunshots at Ice City Station were unexpected, but after the Hunter Action Team confirmed that Ito Hirobumi had fallen to the ground, they calmly put away the mounted sniper rifles one by one, disassembled them, and put them into the secret compartment of this room for replacement. Putting on a kind face, he walked out of the room and went to do his own business.
