The bombing and assassination occurred in the last month of the eighth year of the Republic of China, that is, on December 20, the vice minister of the army of the Republic of China, the governor of Northeast China, the patrol envoy of Mongolia and Xinjiang, the responsible person for the restructuring of the national defense force, the commander of the first group army of the Chinese intervention army, and the general of the Republic of China, Shangwu General Wang Maoru, was riding a train that exploded in Guo Leizhuang, which was called the Guosui Railway in history (Beijing to Suiyuan, and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was renamed the Jingsui Railway after being extended to Suiyuan).

After the airship arrived in Zhang Hengcheng, Wang Maoru had a calm face as soon as he got off the airship, and he didn't say a word, all the sergeants of the First Division of the National Defense Army heard that Xiushuai had arrived safely, and shouted in unison, and even the nearly Wan Chahar prisoners couldn't help but burst into tears, they finally didn't have to be buried alive, long live Xiushuai, long live Xiushuai. The people didn't know why, and they also followed tens of thousands of soldiers to chant Long live Xiushuai, and their voices shook the sky. Tanaka Yu, who was locked up in prison, silently cried and cried: "I want to see Xiushuai, I want to see Xiushuai, I am wronged, I am wronged." I didn't want to kill Xiushuai, it wasn't me, I really didn't do it. The guard soldier said coldly: "Don't you still talk about it, let's say a few words about Tian Overseer." ”

In the cheers of everyone, Wang Maoru walked majestically in front of everyone with steady steps and tall body, like a god of war that could not be defeated or defeated. He waved his hand lightly at the soldiers and civilians, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brothers and fellow villagers, thank you for your love, Xiusheng is fine, I am an immortal bird, no one wants to kill me!" ”

In fact, Wang Maoru was terrified and angry in his heart, not to mention that this despicable assassination was aimed at him, just the murder of Xiong Bingtao and others made him extremely indignant. Xiong Bingtao followed him loyally for nine years, but unexpectedly, he was brutally killed just after being promoted to lieutenant general and deputy chief of general staff.

In order to track down the murderer, he sat in Zhang Heng and directly seized Chahar, no one gave face, and Jin Yunpeng, the army chief and premier, sent a message of condolences as soon as possible, expressing his support for him to stay in Zhang Heng to investigate the case. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Wang Maoru directly occupied Chahar. Zhang Heng, the capital of Chahar Province, is only 150 kilometers away from Beijing and can be reached directly by train in five hours, so it can be said that Wang Maoru's national defense force is indeed capable of directly killing Beijing. And once Chahar, the gateway of Beijing to the northwest, is lost, Wang Maoru has the capital to advance and retreat freely. It's just like reciting the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun. But at this time, Wang Maoru stayed in Zhang Heng under the pretext of investigating the case, and placed Tanaka Yu under house arrest and incorporated the Chahar Army, which made it enough to make use of the political capital. But the Beijing government had nothing to say, and Duan Qirui was angry enough. repeatedly asked Wang Maoru to release Tanaka Yu, and Wang Maoru called back and said that he would talk about it after the investigation of the case. rejected Duan Qirui in one bite.

Subsequently, the 7th Division and the 15th Division of the National Defense Force on the road also immediately rushed to Zhang Heng, and the entire Zhang Heng was placed under martial law. Wang Maoru was assassinated by a bomb on the way back to China and Guo Leizhuang on the Jingsui Railway, but he was not on the train, and the Beijing government must give a reasonable explanation for this, demanding that the Chahar capital be the commander of Tanaka Yu to go to the field. Mao Ziping, who was stationed in Rehe, also immediately led the 14th Division of the National Defense Army to the south to Chahar to meet Wang Maoru.

Seeing that Wang Maoru was unharmed, Mao Ziping said excitedly: "Xiushuai, it's good that you haven't had an accident, it's good that nothing has happened, I'm relieved." ”

Wang Maoru smiled: "I am an immortal bird. Can't die, by the way, Rehe is good? Your department sticks to Rehe, what's the trouble? ”

"Okay, it's just that this year's drought and a war with Anhui have resulted in a bad harvest. The people have some complaints, and there is a vacancy for the governor of Rehe. Mao Ziping said cautiously.

"Does anyone recommend it?" Wang Maoru asked.

Mao Ziping hurriedly said in his heart: "The subordinates are soldiers, and the soldiers do not interfere in politics, and the subordinates are commanded by Xiushuai." ”

Wang Maoru nodded. "In this case, let Halbara be the governor of Rehe." Ma Liang, you send a telegram to Changchun to Harbara, and he immediately rushes to Rehe to take up the post of governor of Rehe Province, and shoulder the responsibility of building Rehe Province. The land in Rehe is barren, but the products are not scarce, and there are many mines, which can be set up as factories or mines. ”

"Yes." Maleonn Road.

Mao Ziping said cautiously: "Xiushuai, can you find out who is the murderer?" ”

Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, hmph, if I know it, I will kill him even if I run to the ends of the earth to sacrifice the spirit of General Xiong Bingtao in the sky." ”

Within the four seas, there was a great shock at this assassination activity, General Shangwu did not fight a civil war, only a national war, but was assassinated, fortunately he had long expected to escape, how could this not arouse the anger of the people. Wang Maoru was also frightened, this assassination was not a bitter trick he played during Yuan Shikai's period, this was a real assassination, but he got off the train halfway because of Wu Qiuyue's reminder. He is also wondering, who is this murderer?

Wang Maoru really didn't suspect Tanaka Yu, he didn't have the qualifications to assassinate him. The first object of Wang Maoru's suspicion is the Japanese, after all, Huanggutun is Zhang Zuolin, who was assassinated by the Japanese, and there are several reasons for suspecting the Japanese, one of the biggest of which is that Wang Maoru showed a tough side, compared to before going to Russia to fight, Wang Maoru played a very effective army through the Russian Civil War, with this powerful army, it was enough to make the Japanese jealous and stop the Japanese plot to annex the Northeast. Therefore, the Japanese assassinated Wang Maoru, causing the Northeast Army to be leaderless, thus leading to the division of the Northeast -- but the Northeast Army is not an army system that relies on the highest maintenance, and now it can be said that if Wang Maoru falls, another person will definitely stand up and lead this army, and the most likely to replace Wang Maoru is Li Delin. Therefore, even if the Japanese assassinated him, they would not be able to defeat the system.

The second object of Wang Maoru's suspicion is Zhang Zuolin, who faces Wang Maoru's 500,000 troops in the west and north, the pressure of Wu Peifu in the south, Yan Xishan in the east, and Feng Yuxiang, an old opponent in the southwest. In the end, the object of suspicion was the Anhui system, Xu Shuzheng prefers to use this way of stealing chickens and touching dogs, but if the Anhui department kills himself, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses. Now the Anhui system has made enemies on all sides, especially the defeat of the Anhui system and the Northeast Army in a battle, which exposed the weakness of the Anhui system that cannot fight, which has aroused the covetousness of the direct family. Now if the Anhui family assassinates themselves, it will allow the direct family to attack them unscrupulously.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Russians, the killers sent by the Russians planted bombs to assassinate themselves, assassinated themselves, and they could create chaos for China, so that they would no longer abide by the provisions of the secret treaty and occupy the outer northwest and the outer northeast. Wang Maoru sat in the Suiyuan General's Mansion and looked at Gao Jianou, the director of the Military Intelligence Department, with a stern expression. Gao Jianou also rushed to Guisui on a prisoner cattle transport plane as soon as possible, and personally investigated the assassination.

It is not a trivial matter for Wang Maoru to forcibly occupy Chahar, to the east can directly kill Beijing, to the south directly into Shanxi, and to the west is Zhang Zuolin's Suiyuan. The three forces are all in peace, and they are all looking forward to Wang Maoru leaving Chahar as soon as possible, and Tanaka Yu will return to work. But how can the fat in his mouth be spit out lightly, and Wang Maoru was assassinated on the territory of Tianzhong Yu, and even his most powerful assistant died tragically here, Wang Maoru did not leave under the banner of revenge and investigation, and no one dared to pick it up. Even Wu Peifu, who has always loved to talk, stopped speaking at this time, and he knew very well what kind of consequences would be caused if he offended the Wehrmacht, who was so excited by the assassination, at this sensitive moment.

Because someone assassinated the martial general Wang Maoru in the jurisdiction, Tanakayu, the commander of the Chahar capital, had to be forced to declare his resignation. After Tanaka Yu went into the wilderness, Wang Maoru immediately released him and did not embarrass him. even gave him a farewell banquet, but Tanaka Yu was sullen at the banquet. He was forced into the wilderness, but the Anhui system couldn't defend himself, how could he not be disheartened. It seems that the Anhui system can't tolerate himself, even if he can, where will his face go? Do you want to learn from the same song? Be cheeky and go to be the commander of the mixed brigade again, and eat shit behind Xu Shuzheng's ass? Tanaka Yu still has a temper and face, and his political path is over, so he took the gold, silver and jewelry he had plundered over the years and dozens of ladies and sons and ladies to live out his old age in the Tianjin Concession Apartment.

Tanaka Yu was wrong about this, he really didn't go into the wilderness after being defeated, but was abandoned by the Anhui family and went into the wilderness. This is different from Qu Tongfengjue, Qu Tongfeng was just defeated, the Anhui system did not abandon him, and he could still be reused, Tanaka Yu was abandoned.

After Tanaka Yu left, Wang Mao ordered most of the elite soldiers of Chahar's army to be supplemented into his own army, a small part of which was turned into an armed police brigade of 3,000 people, and a small number of others were sent to Mongolia to work as armed workers to help Chen Yi, the deputy governor of Mongolia, maintain the border defense of Outer Mongolia. Subsequently, Wang Maoru held a grand funeral for Xiong Bingtao and other sacrificed comrades-in-arms in Guisui, and built the Chinese Heroes Square and the Heroes Monument in Guisui to commemorate Xiong Bingtao and others and the heroes who died in Russia. Condolences at home and abroad have also been sent to Guisui in a steady stream. The names of Long Qing and Xiong Bingtao are tied for the first two places at the Heroes Monument in recognition of their contributions to the country.

And Xiong Bingtao's children who were only seven and four years old, Xiong Yunshan and Xiong Yunduo also recognized Wang Maoru as their godfather and were taken care of by Wang Maoru. Just Guo Buluo. Long Qing had no queen, his cousin Guo Buluo. Rong Yuan took his son Guo Buluo. After Runliang came, Wang Maoru saw Runliang's face burnt yellow, a big smell of smoke in his mouth, an expression of disgust on his face, and secretly sighed in his heart that the nine sons of the dragon were different, and this Runliang was really disgusting. Rong Yuan and his son may also feel embarrassed, so after the visit, they asked Runliang not to come out at the hotel to smoke a big cigarette by himself. Runliang complained that Zhang Heng, who didn't shit when he came to the birds, didn't even have a decent kiln, and it was not as comfortable as Beijing and Tianjin, so he lay on the bed and smoked a big cigarette. Rong Yuan had no choice but to shake his head and sigh helplessly, saying in his heart how he gave birth to such a useless son.
