Chapter 131: Scarlet Fengtian

Neither Japan's reaction nor the heated debate in China seems to have affected the attitude of the governors' offices of the three eastern provinces themselves. Just when everyone was paying attention to the situation in Japan, the Northeast Public Security Army carried out a major purge of the Manchu remnants scattered throughout the province of Mukden with the 4th and 6th brigades.

"Young marshal, it's been found out! There are a total of 131 Manchu widows who have come into contact with Japan. Sixty of them are located around Mukden City, and most of the rest are located near Lushun and Dalian. Jing Tong handed over the information collected by the assassin to Feng Yong.

"Well done! With these lists, the rebel forces of the Manchu remnants will basically be wiped out. Feng Yong took the list in his hand and thought about where to start.

"Staff Officer Xu, send a report to the Fourth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade. The troops are scheduled to move in unison in the early morning of June 8. Be sure to arrest all the people on the list! At the same time, the Sixth Brigade was ordered to dispatch a detachment of men and horses to deploy defenses near the Japanese concession in Lushun to prevent these Manchu remnants from escaping into the concession. ”

Since you want to do it, you must kill it with one blow, and you must not leave too many hidden dangers. Of course, Feng Yong knew that the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were only a part of Fengtian Province, and there was absolutely no shortage of people in the provinces of Guannai who were interested in the Qing Dynasty. If he slaughters the knife here, he will definitely be criticized by them, but now that the Japanese army is pressing, Feng Yong needs war funds, and he needs huge funds to deal with the difficult battles that may come. As for those reputations, Feng Yong didn't care at all. There is a saying that history is written by the victors. Now the anti-Japanese waves in the Guannai are rising one after another, and the pressure of the Japanese army has minimized the impact of Feng Yong's massacre of the Manchu remnants. Of course, Feng Yong will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Of course, Feng Yong is not a murderer, he values the huge wealth in the hands of the Manchu elders. Even Feng Yong secretly ordered the two brigade commanders that the target did not matter if he lived or died, but the wealth must be collected in the slightest. At the same time, the Northeast Gendarmerie was ordered to be responsible for counting the seized property, and if there was any person who embezzled, no matter who it was, it would be severely punished.

The Japanese Third Division had already established a barracks on the Sino-North Korean border, and under Feng Yong's order, Lin Hu led the main force of the Southeast Military Region's Second Brigade to confront the other side. Now the entire Southeast Military District has four brigade-level establishments. The second brigade had the largest number of men, more than 30,000 men, and the remaining three brigades were all 15,000 troops. And it's all recently expanded. Although most of the soldiers are veterans of the 28th Division, the training methods of the 28th Division are different from those of the Public Security Corps, and the three newly formed brigades are still in a state of running-in, so it is difficult to say the specific combat effectiveness. So in the face of the Japanese, Lin Hu had no choice but to take the elite second brigade to the top, Lin Hu had no opinion on Feng Yong's order, but now he was facing the Japanese, and he always had no bottom in his heart. After all, in terms of firepower, there is still a gap between the elite Second Brigade and the Japanese. And its logistics have not been completely restored after the consumption of the Battle of Mukden.

During this time, the Manchu remnants gathered every day, and the Japanese army pressed the border in a way they did not expect. After all, no one expected Feng Delin's Northeast Governor's Mansion to be so tough. In the face of the powerful Japanese Empire, he chose to resist hard. But these Manchu relics also secretly rejoiced in their hearts. The Japanese envoys had agreed that if the Feng family and his son were eliminated, they would hand over the three eastern provinces to them to establish Manchukuo and welcome the return of Emperor Puyi, then they would be the heroes of the restoration of the country. Thinking of the identity of the hero of the restoration of the country, all the Manchu remnants were on fire in their hearts. Moreover, Manchukuo was established, and they were also able to obtain a guarantee of security. After all, they now have the wealth they have accumulated over hundreds of years, and if there is no security guarantee, they may not be able to make any one of the day's wealth become someone else's. Unfortunately, while they were daydreaming, there was already a living Hades eyeing them, their huge fortune to be exact.

On the 8th of June, when the day was just dawning, when the heads of various forces were still half-asleep and half-awake, groups of heavily armed soldiers from all over Mukden dispersed and rushed towards the mansion of the Manchu relics.

Bang bang bang!

A violent knock on the door broke the silence of Mukden City. The gatekeeper of the Fengtian Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Mangui Mansion, opened the door with sleepy eyes, and was immediately rushed into the mansion by the wolf-like soldiers.

"Who are you? How can you break into a private house......" The janitor shouted in fear, and with his shout, the whole mansion boiled.

Groups of guards rushed out with their weapons in hand, but they were dumbfounded at the sight of heavily armed soldiers. Army? How could the army rush into the house. Looking at the cold face of the leading officer and the cold muzzle of the soldiers under him, the leader of the courtyard, who was known for his bravery, couldn't help but shudder.

"Master Jun, Master Jun! I don't know if there is a noble cadre at the house early in the morning? The disheveled butler ran over with a panicked look and said flatteringly to the officer at the head.

"On the orders of the young marshal! Man Gui, the president of the Fengtian Chamber of Commerce, colluded with the Japanese in a vain attempt to subvert the rule of the Northeast Governor's Palace. With the officer's words, nearly a hundred soldiers loaded their bullets and aimed them at the terrified courtyard.

"I didn't expect these big families to have so many nursing homes, and it seems that the weapons and equipment in their hands are not weak. Fortunately, Lao Tzu brought a company of soldiers. The officer at the head thought secretly. There are hundreds of people in the Jiading Nursing Courtyard in the Mangui Mansion, and each of them rushed out with weapons when they heard the movement. The model is the most advanced Mauser rifle. From here, we can also see the abundance of the rich family.

"Master Jun, misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! My lord is a great good citizen! The housekeeper said anxiously. Now that the noble man has not gotten up, if he really lets these wolf-like soldiers rush into the backyard, then he will be guilty of a great crime.

"Misunderstanding?" The officer at the head smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I misunderstand or not, Lao Tzu said it!" Arrest them all. Whoever dares to resist will be killed on the spot. ”

"Yes!" Soldiers rushed forward.

"I think which of you dares, is there any royal law?" The butler stopped in front of the soldier with a pale face.

Boom! A gunshot rang out, and the butler's eyes widened in fear. How dare the enemy shoot! Unfortunately, this was also his last thought.

"Wang Fa? Lao Tzu's gun is the king's law! The lead officer blew the muzzle of the green smoke and said. Take it for Lao Tzu, this is the end of the rebels! ”

All the family members looked at the scene in front of them with horrified expressions. There were three or four hundred of them, and they usually conducted military training, and if they really wanted to fight, they might not lose to the regular army of less than 100 people. But the butler's bones are not yet cold! Thinking of the prestige of Young Marshal Feng in the Northeast, these hundreds of them were timid in their hearts, in the final analysis, they were just guarding the courtyard, not an army that was not afraid of death.

"Get off their guns! It's humiliating for these good guns to be used by these miscreants! The leading officer said domineeringly.

The family was disarmed, and there was a look of relief on their faces. and the army, unless they eat the ambition leopard gall. What's more, whose people are these soldiers? Northeast Feng Shaoshuai's. Zhang Dashuai is such a powerful person, in the hands of Feng Shaoshuai, he is not gloomy and has left the Northeast for many years. Of course, these little family members are not opponents.

"Rush in! Catch it alive! The leading officer waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed into the backyard of Mangui's house.

Bang Bang Bang!

The backyard was followed by the screams of a woman, followed by several gunshots. Finally it calmed down slowly.

A large group of disheveled people, men, women, and children, were tied up by the soldiers, led by the president of the Fengtian Chamber of Commerce, who was famous in Fengtian Province.

"Who are you? Why attack my house! Is there any royal law? What kind of army are you, bandits, robbers, I want to see Feng Yong and ask him what he wants to do in person? ......" Man Gui scolded with a flushed face.

Boom! The muzzle of a black hole was pressed against Mangui's head.

"President Mangui, if I hear insulting words from your mouth again, I know you, but the gun in my hand doesn't know you!" The officer said with a gloomy expression. In their hearts, Feng Yong is a god, and he will never allow others to insult him, if it weren't for the order from above to catch him alive, I'm afraid he would have killed these big men a long time ago.

"I ...... I ......" Man Gui looked at the muzzle of the black hole, and the cold sweat on his head came down instantly! He has lived for many years, and he has never been pointed at the head at gunpoint. The great fear made his legs weak, his crotch wet, and he actually urinated incontinent in front of his subordinates.

The officer looked at Man Gui, who was as limp as mud, with disdain, and waved his hand disdainfully: "Take them all away!" Such a waste, killing it is too dirty Lao Tzu's gun. ”

"Battalion commander, we have a brother dead!" Another officer stepped up and said.

"What? Who did this to you? The officer said with a bad face.

"I've been killed! It's a guard hired by Mangui. ”

"Fuck. I really want to kill them all. Bury your fallen brother well. And Lao Liu, you stay here to block the entire courtyard, and you can't take out any of the property in the yard, otherwise I will ask for you. The battalion commander said solemnly.

"Yes! Guaranteed completion of the task. ”

"Tell the brothers that in a moment the gendarmerie will take over. Gather the guns and ammunition, wait for the gendarmerie to inspect them, and then pull them all to Lao Tzu's camp headquarters. These are good guns! These soft eggs are really insulting. ”

"Don't worry, battalion commander! I forgot to tell you just now. We found two precious heavy machine guns and four light machine guns in Mangui's home. There are also quite a few bullets. ”

"Really? Haha, Lao Liu, you really have you! Give Lao Tzu a good look at these weapons! These are all treasures of our second battalion. The battalion commander said excitedly.

At the same time, the mansions of the Manchu widows were smashed open by soldiers, and fierce gunfire rang out in some of the mansions. It looks like the intruding soldiers are already at war with the Manchu remnants' homesteaders. Nearby troops with no mission quickly reinforced the area where the shootout was taking place. Fengtian City is the center of Fengtian Province, although the Manchu nobles have resistance, but after all, their strength is scattered, and it is impossible to resist more and more soldiers.

But in Dalian and Lushun, it didn't go so well. The Fengtian Provincial Government has just taken over the work here, and the local relations have not yet been straightened out. After the conflict between the Northeast Governor's Office and Japan, the local Manchu remnants began to secretly expand their forces in preparation for an offensive against the Japanese. In the face of the sneak attack of the Northeast Security Army, of course, they will resist.

For a time, the quiet early morning in Dalian and Lushun was broken by the sound of gunfire. The concessions were immediately fully armed to deal with possible crises. In the Lushun Japanese Concession, Prince Su, who received the news of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's widows, urgently met with the Japanese envoy Kawashima Sulang. When Kawashima heard the situation, he asked the Japanese troops stationed in Lushun to send out and pick up the Manchu remnants of Lushun to take refuge in the concession.

The Japanese army's actions were not insignificant, and when a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed to the concession area, they immediately ran into the defensive position of the Northeast Security Army facing the Japanese concession.

The Japanese soldiers had only one squadron, less than 200 people, while there was a squadron of more than 800 people with a battalion on the opposite side. Moreover, there are heavy machine guns and mortars, and Japan may not have an advantage in a real fight. What's more, now Japan and the Tohoku Governor's Office are facing off. There was still a debate within the cabinet about whether war was needed, and the Japanese squadron, which had not received the order, did not dare to rashly launch an attack on the squadron, and God knew if a dozen of them would disrupt the government's plans.

The confrontation between the two sides can be very bad for Prince Su and Kawashima Speed. You must know that if you delay for one more minute, the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be lost.

"Kawashima-kun, please send a telegram to General Terauchi and ask him to send troops to help the friendly people of Japan. Feng Yong: This is to cut off the foundation of the rise of Manchukuo. He must not be allowed to succeed in his plot. Prince Su said anxiously.

"Your Excellency, I have contacted Your Excellency the Governor urgently. I believe that Your Excellency the Governor will give you a satisfactory answer! That's all Kawashima can say. It cannot be said that although the governor of North Korea wants to avenge you, he does not have the right to send troops. We are still waiting for the Japanese government to make a decision. After all, a large-scale invasion of a country requires the support of the government. It turns out that the so-called local war of Terauchi Masashi is simply unrealistic. The invasion of Northeast China requires preparations for a full-scale war with China. After all, wars are full of accidents, and no one can say in what direction they will develop. The two wars that Japan fought were all through careful design and long-term preparations, so that it was able to take the initiative at the beginning of the war, defeat the strong with the weak, and seek tremendous benefits for Japan.

"Hey!" Prince Su sighed, as one of the few enlightened people in the Manchu royal family, he still saw the meaning of Feng Yong's move. Feng Yong is really determined to go to war with the Japanese! As for sweeping away the forces of the Manchu Qing remnants, it is nothing more than clearing away the hidden dangers inside. If Feng Yong didn't do anything to the Manchu relics, the Manchu relics would definitely make trouble when the Northeast Security Army and the Japanese were at war. The Northeast Security Army was already at a disadvantage compared to the Japanese in terms of combat effectiveness, and if it was internally unstable, it was inevitable that it would lose.

"Is there really no hope for me!" Prince Su said faintly. The current situation is obviously that Feng Yong has been prepared for a long time, even if the Japanese send troops now, how many Manchu relics can be saved?

"Your Excellency, with the presence of the Great Japanese Empire, the Qing Empire will definitely be restored......" Kawashima Kawashima talked about how Japan helped the Qing Dynasty to recover the country. It's just that Prince Su at this time is already lacking interest. Is the Great Qing Kingdom built in Kawashima Sulangkou still the original Great Qing Kingdom? It's just a puppet of Japan!
