"It's eerie in the scattered forest. A "bang" sound came from the forest, mixed with fire, "Bang! ".

The sound of an axe chopping a tree trunk is the sound of an axe. "The sound is the sound of trees falling down in the forest and hitting the ground, this is the sound of someone cutting down trees in the forest, the cutting site is located in a river valley, the logger cuts down the tall tree, and then uses a hacksaw to cut the trunk into several sections, and then uses mules and horses to drag the trimmed trunk to the river, pile the trunk by the river and tie it into a wooden raft, and then float the wooden raft downstream along the river, there is a shoal more than ten miles downstream, there is a sawmill by the shallow, there are several primitive steam sawmills in the factory, using branches, bark, sawdust, The leaves are used as fuel, and the operating costs are very low, which is why this sawmill has become the most prosperous sawmill on the right bank of the Tumen River.

The owner of this sawmill is a Chinese, surnamed Yang, because one leg is a little lame, walking and limping, so people give the nickname "Yang Kidnapper" This Yang kidnapper mixed in the green forest in the early years, the gunshot wound on this leg is also thanks to the green forest peers, although the other party left Yang Kidnapper's life, but he was abolished, since then, Yang Kidnapper can only withdraw from the green forest, relying on the capital accumulated by years of wandering the rivers and lakes, Yang Kidnapper opened a pot burning workshop on the outskirts of Shenyang, business is good, but two years ago suddenly turned the pot burning workshop, Then he went to this deep mountain and old forest, opened this sawmill, and the business was still booming.

Since the center encouraged businessmen to set up enterprises in the three eastern provinces, many small businessmen have taken a fancy to this wood processing industry, so a large number of timber processing enterprises have appeared in the inaccessible mountains and old forests in previous years, and the industry monopolized by Russian businessmen and Japanese businessmen in the past is now finally divided by Chinese businessmen.

Of course, according to the identity of the owner of the carpentry mill is just a cover for Yang Guizi, his real identity is actually a spy of the Fifth Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the reason why he set up a sawmill here is mainly to spy on the intelligence of the Japanese garrison on the other side of the Tumen River, in fact, his sawmill is also the most important intelligence station in the entire southern region of Jilin, from Huichun in the east to Yitong in the west, in this vast black land, Yang Guizi is the soil emperor here, relying on the experience and friendship of the rivers and lakes accumulated in the green forest before, He can know the intelligence of this black land very well, and the military intelligence bureau is also very important to him.

Yang Guizi's sawmill is located southeast of Yanbian, under the jurisdiction of Yanbian, and his license was also applied for there, so he is actually a businessman in Yanbian, but because the sawmill is too close to the national border, he also has a special passport. It is easy to go to the Japanese-controlled areas on the other side of the Tumen River to run a timber business.

"Yanbian" is the name of the Chinese people, but in the eyes of the Japanese colonizers, it is part of the so-called "Majima", and the so-called "Majima" itself is a geographical concept of Japan's aggressive ambitions against China.

The concept of "Majima" was first seen in the "Manchurian Gazetteer" written by the Japanese Morita Toshito, in this fictional geography book, Morita Toshiyuan called the area between the Hailan River and the Tumen River about 2,300 li wide and about 5,600 li long "Majima" and arrogantly declared that "sovereignty is undecided" This fallacy was quickly adopted by Japanese public opinion circles, and after the Russo-Japanese War, by virtue of the arrogance of defeating Russia, the Northeast Asia map published in Japan moved the boundary line between China and North Korea to the Hailan River. In an attempt to deny China's sovereignty over the region, the Japanese colonial authorities even went so far as to include the area in the "geographical realm of the Korean Peninsula" in order to conceal it.

After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan monopolized the Korean Peninsula, in order to annex the Yanbian area, sent military personnel to invade the region many times, and in that year, the Japanese colonial authorities even set up a puppet administrative agency in the region without authorization, set up a police station and a military police detachment, stationed more than 200 Japanese and Korean military police, for Japan's blatant military invasion, the Manchu court was forced by the pressure of the government and the opposition. They had to negotiate with the Japanese colonial authorities many times, and the two sides were at loggerheads over which river the boundary between China and North Korea was, until the "Wushen Revolution" broke out.

After the revolution, the Qing court fell, the Beiyang government was established, due to the instability of the domestic situation, the Beiyang center had no time to take care of the negotiations in the Yanbian area, and finally the Japanese colonial authorities further strengthened the military penetration of the region, but when the Japanese colonial officials were triumphant, the Beiyang government collapsed, the United Front came to power, and quickly adopted a series of means on the Yanbian issue, including political means and military means, and finally solved the problem, or rely on the Korean anti-Japanese uprising, taking advantage of the turbulent situation on the Korean Peninsula, With the support of the center, the local troops in Jilin quickly stationed in the Yanbian area, disarmed the local Japanese police and military police, and drove them to Lushun; although the Japanese Government made "solemn representations" on this, in the face of the precarious situation on the Korean Peninsula, it was impossible for the Japanese Government to take military retaliatory action; on the contrary, in order to resolve the subsequent "Northeast Asian crisis," the colonial policy of "single-handedly" eliminating the "one-handed one-handedness" had to make this adjustment, and the "Majima issue" was boron. come, but the colonial ambitions of the Japanese government have not disappeared, the Japanese government is just waiting for the opportunity.

Although the Yanbian area is still under the effective control of China, the activities of Japanese spies in the area are very active, and the mixed Korean Peninsula exiles and the Tsarist Russian forces in the north make the situation in the whole region very strange.

In those years, during the entire stage of the great anti-Japanese uprising in Korea, the Yanbian area played the role of a "communication channel" to a large extent, and a large number of arms and materials to aid the DPRK crossed the Tumen River from here into the Korean Peninsula, and many anti-Japanese guerrillas also chose the Yanbian area as their rear base area; although the anti-Japanese independence movement in Korea basically fell silent two years ago, there are still many anti-Japanese independence figures active in the Yanbian area now. These people are also the main allies of Yang Guizi, relying on these Koreans, he can easily get the information of the Japanese garrison, and then summarize the information, which will be analyzed and sorted out by the Military Intelligence Bureau. Provide a basis for the decision-making of the center.

Today's weather is good, the temperature is not high, it is a good time for the sawmill to start, and the rafts that float from the river cannot be used immediately, they must be dried. Everything went according to plan, and most of the workers in the factories were connoisseurs, who used to work for the Russians, later for the Japanese, and now for the Chinese, many of whom are Koreans and can speak Chinese fluently.

As the boss, Yang Guizi usually sits in the shade of a tree, smoking a dry cigarette while monitoring the work of the workers, but he is thinking about the focus of the next intelligence work.

In fact, when he was mixed in the green forest, Yang Guizi's main job was to collect intelligence for the horses, to see which Zhuangzi was the Xiangyao, where the dart bureau was Anfu with a deep background, and the role of the rivers and lakes in the past was very helpful to his current espionage work.

Yang kidnapper also does not have strong patriotic feelings, the reason why he is willing to spy on the intelligence of the Japanese garrison for his boss is purely because of personal reasons, during the Russo-Japanese War, one of his cronies was tortured and killed by the Japanese colonial army, that subordinate once saved his life, without that subordinate, there would be no current Boss Yang, this hatred Yang kidnapper has long been remembered. Now, it's just to take revenge by the way, and in addition, it is also one of his purposes to take advantage of a big tree, after all, if you want to mix in the three eastern provinces, a land of right and wrong where dragons and snakes are mixed, you can't do it with a bare pole, what backer can be more reliable than the government's intelligence agencies?

Therefore, Yang Guizi is not only now a spy of the Fifth Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he also wants to work for a long time, as long as he does not fall back, no one will dare to provoke his Yang Guizi's business, who dares to provoke, just one greets the past, and the gunmen from all over the military intelligence will be dispatched.

The boss is not unaware of Yang Guizi's dirty thoughts, but in view of his high efficiency in collecting intelligence, and Yang Guizi is also very measured, the boss also turns a blind eye to this, after all, "meritocracy" This is not only the center's employment strategy, but also the military intelligence bureau's employment strategy.

Now, Yang Guizi is sitting in the shade of a tree, smoking a morning cigarette, thinking about future intelligence work. This means, I'm afraid that there is some big action, Yang Guizi didn't dare to slack off, and the day before yesterday he let out the wind and let the "spies" under him stop their activities, and the cat got up and waited for news.

Yesterday came the news, saying that today the boss will send someone to bring a few "distinguished guests" over, which means that Yang Guizi is asked to cooperate with their actions, as for who the other party is, Yang Guizi is still unclear, the reason why he is waiting in the factory, is also to wait for those "distinguished guests" to come, according to the time, the other party should almost come over now.

It was almost noon, a man dressed as a hunter walked into the sawmill, handed the pheasants on the musket to Yang Guizi, and whispered a word of advice.

"Lao Yang, people have already come, do you want to take a look now, or wait until you have lunch?"

Yang Guizi knocked the dry tobacco on the stone sitting under his buttocks, extinguished the fire, then inserted the cigarette stick into his belt, carried the pheasants, walked to a steam saw, threw the pheasants on the ground, pointed at the pheasants, and shouted to the manipulators.

"It's off! You don't have to wait for me for the sheep rice, these pheasants, you guys will clean up, drink some wine, and wait for me to come back in the afternoon

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and followed the hunter, and soon disappeared into the dense forest on the mountainside.
