The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 45 A stab at Shirakawa

The gunshots of the "September 80th" incident ignited the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people.Along the Huangpu River, citizens from all walks of life held anti-Japanese and national salvation rallies one after another. [-] Shanghai workers went on strike.The Shanghai People's Anti-Japanese National Salvation Federation handed over a large bag of cash, silver dollars and jewelry collected to Wang Yaqiao, asking him to find a way to send it to the Northeast and hand it over to the Anti-Japanese Volunteers in various places.

Shanghai is thousands of miles away from the Northeast. On the way to the Northeast, the Japanese army built checkpoints everywhere and searched strictly. How can so much donation be delivered safely?Wang Yaqiao made a mistake.

There is a suitcase made of cowhide in the back room. It has been with him for many years, and the four corners of the ground have been polished. The lining inside the box has several holes and many scratches on the outside.Wang Yaqiao loves the old and is reluctant to throw it away. He usually keeps some old clothes at home.

He carried the suitcase to the living room, emptied it, and smoked and thought.Wang Yaying took the initiative to come over and help him find a way together.The couple have been busy for most of the day and have no clue.

"Ding Dong!" A horn nail fell to the ground, Wang Yaying picked it up, broke off the two claws, and installed them according to the original holes.

Wang Yaqiao seemed to have seen some trick, pulled the box over, and with a strong hand, he pulled off the nails that had just been installed.Wang Yaying stared, a little confused.

"Yaying, in the afternoon, you go to the flea market to buy a suitcase that is probably new."

"Okay!" Wang Yaying didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so she nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Wang Yaqiao called several cronies, went to various banks separately, and exchanged all the donations into gold.

In the evening, his car drove to a goldware shop in a fellow countryman, and he said to the master goldsmith: "Please beat the gold into eight nail-shaped shapes overnight, and make them slightly smaller so that the nails can cover them; Take out the cowhide from the eight corners of the box, and pack it as it is. I will give you double the wages."

Three days later, Wang Yaqiao disguised himself as a businessman, and Li Cishan pretended to be a teacher. The two of them boarded the ship together, from Shanghai to Dalian, and then changed to the Nanman Railway train. Addresses and joint codes, I traveled to Huanren, Yixian and other places to condolences to the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. Everywhere I went, I left a "golden horn".

On October 10, they returned to Fengtian (that is, Shenyang) and stayed in a hotel in West Tower. They were going to take a rest before continuing to Jilin and Heilongjiang.After dinner, the two of them strolled on the street to see the night view, and walked to the Yanagimachi Kikubun Hotel, where they saw Japanese soldiers guarding the restaurant with guns.Inside, the singing of geishas and the wild laughter of men can be heard from time to time.Wang Yaqiao was very curious, so he bought a pack of cigarettes in a nearby store, and asked by the way: "Who lives there? It's so majestic."

The boss gave him the change, and replied in a low voice, "General Bai Chuanyi."

Back in the room, Wang Yaqiao proposed to find a chance to kill Shirakawa Yoshinori.Li Cishan asked: "You want to kill him? What will you use to kill him?"

Wang Yaqiao smiled mysteriously, opened the cowhide box, tore off the lining cloth at the bottom, took out the large and small parts, and as if by magic, a "palm treasure" pistol was assembled.

"I'm not familiar with the place here, and if you miss something, it will be troublesome."

"It's okay. I'll go to the spot tomorrow and play by ear."

"Then...let me go."

"You're a lawyer, you're good at litigation, but not good at shooting guns."

"Then let's go together, so we can have someone to take care of you."

"No way. Our mission has not been completed yet. Once there is a mistake, isn't it all over?"

In the evening of the next day, Wang Yaqiao, dressed in black, went to a restaurant opposite the Juwen Hotel for dinner alone. He ordered several small dishes and a pot of sorghum to cook. While drinking, he watched the movement on the street through the glass window.Until 10 o'clock, several military vehicles came roaring.Surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, a muscular man with the rank of a general on his shoulders got out of the car and walked into the Juwen Hotel.

On the 31st, at 9 pm, Wang Yaqiao hid ahead of time in a bush in a flower bed 40 meters away from the Juwen Hotel.The biting cold wind froze him until his hands were numb and his face ached.After 10 o'clock, there was still no sign of Shirakawa Yoshinori.After persisting for a while, there was a "rumbling" sound in the distance.The motorcade lined up at the entrance of the Juwen Hotel, and the sturdy man with the rank of a general on his shoulders got out of the car, blocked by the car, only showing the small half of his body above his shoulders.A man who looked like an adjutant ran over and stood chatting with him.Wang Yaqiao was sweating anxiously, hoping that he would go up two more steps. In this way, the target would be larger and the hit would be more sure.However, General Bai Chuan seemed to be doing it on purpose, he just stopped climbing.Two or three minutes later, General Bai Chuan finished his orders and walked towards the hotel.Wang Yaqiao's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and he shot two shots at his back, and then, according to the retreat route surveyed in advance, he ran like flying.He only heard the loud gunfire behind him, like setting off firecrackers, the bullets hit the brick wall and stone wall around him, and sparks flew everywhere...

"This son of a bitch, let him escape today! As long as he is still doing evil in China, I will never let him go!"

Running back to the hotel, he told Li Cishan what happened just now, and took a teacup to drink for a while, wiped the corners of his mouth, and swore indignantly...
