Jagged Warlord

Please remember the URL of this site:.Now that Li Mohan has controlled Hubei, he immediately started to recover Hanyeping. The first step is to impose military control on Hanyang Iron Works, Huangshi Iron Mine and other joint mining enterprises, and block the wharf on the Yangtze River to prevent iron ore from being shipped out.

As expected, Tsunan Yamaguchi, the Japanese consul in Hankou, came to protest in less than 12 hours. He found Yin Changheng, the governor of Hubei, and said aggressively: "As the consul of the Empire of Japan in Hankou, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that Han Yeping has a serious interest relationship with our country. Your army must immediately withdraw military control over the Hanyang Ironworks and Huangshi Iron Mine, and we reserve the right to resort to military measures.”

Yang Yinrong, who is already the commander of the No.19 Division of the National Defense Forces stationed in Hubei, said at the side: "Your country has established an office in Daye Lime Kiln where the office of Daye Iron Mine is located. The staff of the Japan Post Office and the telegraph office directly to Japan report the military and economic situation in the region to the Japanese government at any time, so that the Japanese government can take countermeasures. At this time, our country has not protested against the naked espionage, but your country is the first to complain.”

Yamaguchi Tsunan shouted arrogantly: "Do you have any evidence?"

Yin Changheng smiled and changed the topic and said: "This time we implemented military control over the mining area to catch murder fugitives. Only when the security in the mining area is good, Han Yeping can produce normally."

Yamaguchi Tsunan said: "As far as I know, Han Yeping's law and order has been very good under the management of Japanese cadres. Where did the fugitive murder come from?"

Yang Yinrong laughed and said, "There is a Japanese named Mu Yuan, Mr. Sailor Consul, do you know?"

Because the Japanese government controls the factories and mines of Hanyeping Company, the Japanese crews transporting pig iron and iron ore back to Japan in the factories and mines are domineering. On the evening of January 1911, 1, Japan’s ore transport ship "Daye Maru" was moored at the lime kiln wharf of Daye Iron Mine. A sailor named Mu Yuan surnamed Mu Yuan went to Daye Iron Mine unloading dock barge to provoke trouble after drinking. The surname Hara was carried back to Japan, saying that the Japanese committed crimes in China and should be heard by the Japanese courts. After China’s right to intervene, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing government questioned the Japanese government. The Japanese government said that the surname Kimoto was sentenced to four years in prison in Japan. The workers in factories and mines are very angry that they have been at large for a day and have not been imprisoned.

Yamaguchi Tsunan, as the Japanese consul in Hankou, naturally knew about this, but Yamaguchi Tsunan said: "This person has been sent back to Japan and he can be dealt with lawfully. I don't know what you mean by bringing up the old matter now."

"Really?" Yang Yinrong took out a letter full of red fingerprints. "According to your country, this person named Mu Yuan was sentenced to four years in prison. This is a report letter jointly written by the dock workers of Daye Iron Mine. It is said that since 1913, this person can be seen at the ore unloading pier of Daye Iron Mine almost every year. Mr. Consul, how do you explain it? Besides, foreigners who break the law in China should be judged according to Chinese law. This person does not enjoy extraterritoriality, so we think this person came from Murder fugitive who escaped from custody and has been at large"

"This~" Yamaguchi Tsunan was speechless for a while and he argued strongly: "This is not the point. You have hindered the normal business activities between Han Yeping Company and the Japanese company."

Yin Changheng sneered and said: "If the Japanese side cooperates with this arrest operation, the so-called commercial activities will resume soon."

Yamaguchi Tsunan said: "Okay then we in Japan will arrest this person and take him back to Japan"

Yang Yinrong shook his head and said: "No way, a murderer escaped from a tightly guarded prison in your country and hid in a steamship company for so many years. Your country has not found out that we have doubts about your police's ability, so we have sent military police to the dock. captured"

"What?" Yamaguchi Tsunan was furious and he yelled: "You are blatantly despising the authority of the Great Japanese Empire"

Yin Changheng was also angry. He slapped the table and stood up and shouted: "So what? This small country presumptuously claims to have a lot of money, come on!"

Yamaguchi Tsunan pointed to Yin Changheng with his finger and said, "Yin Sang, you will pay for today's gift, Sayunara."

*****Dividing line******

July and August is the rainy season in Hubei. It’s just because the weather is hot, so the rain doesn’t feel cold when it hits the body. On the contrary, it makes the soldiers who are marching in a hurry feel cool. The soldiers of the third regiment of the No.19 Division of the National Defense Forces near Daye Iron Mountain lined up in two columns. Some of the soldiers in this regiment are subordinates of Tao Yunhe of the Beiyang Army, and some of them are new recruits of the National Defense Forces.

After Tao Yunhe surrendered, he was a regiment commander, but the regiment of the national defense army is a large regiment of thousands of people, and enjoys the treatment of a brigade commander, so Tao Yunhe has nothing to say. Somewhat upset, this time Yang Yinrong sent him to accept Hanyeping mining area Tao Yunhe secretly thinking that he must do a good job in this matter

Tao Yunhe took the kettle from the guard and drank half of it in one gulp. He raised the binoculars and looked at it, and said, "It's weird, it's not hot, why do I always feel dry?" Actually, his mouth is dry. It's clear that they are very angry. In other words, everyone is eager to make contributions, and secondly, the opponent they are facing is the Japanese army who defeated the Russians. Nervousness and excitement make this group of people restless and angry.

In front is the Tieshan mining area. The reconnaissance team reported that they could already see the tiankeng dug out over the years under the Lion Mountain with binoculars. These tiankengs are surrounded by hills tens of meters high. The bare hills are like grave mounds, which are very unsuitable for hiding. The mining area is Wuwang Mountain. On the left is the iron sand processing plant. Farther away is the coking coal factory area. A Japanese sun flag is planted, which is very eye-catching. It should be the place where the Japanese army is stationed. Surely a lot of casualties

The Japanese explanation of the armed forces stationed here is that the factory protection team spontaneously formed by Han Yeping’s Japanese staff is actually a quasi-military force composed of active and retired Japanese soldiers. The purpose is to occupy Han Yeping for a long time.

"His grandma's." Tao Yunhe scolded, "What kind of factory guard team has a factory guard team with cannons?"[
