Oh, that bastard from the Koo family. He was the first to betray his friends and surrender to Japan after the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, allowing the Japanese army to enter Taipei "without bloodshed". During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, he personally led 12 ships with his own dry food to support the Japanese Combined Fleet.

As a "great hero", this guy not only obtained the monopoly rights of Taiwan's salt and opium and other commodities, but was even elected to the Japanese House of Peers and became a member of the House of Peers.

Gu Xianrong was very good at making multiple bets and diversifying risks. Historically, he had close contacts with the Japanese, the East India Company, the Americans, Manchukuo, and the Chiang Kai-shek government.

One of his wives was Yoshiko Iwase, the daughter of a Japanese samurai. Their son, Koo Kwang-min, is not only a staunch pro-independence advocate and a pro-Japanese figure, but also a major financial backer of Chen Shui-bian.

But the mother of another son, Koo Chen-fu, was a woman of humble origin, named "Cha Mouxian", who was a maidservant who came with the dowry. Although she did not support unification, she was not a supporter of Taiwan independence either.

Anyway, this family is not a good thing.

"This is Chen Zhonghe and Mr. Chen from Kaohsiung.

Well, another heavyweight traitor.

In the early years, they made profits by producing sugar and selling it to Japan. After Taiwan was occupied by Japan, they were like a fish in water, wantonly exploiting and deducting money from local sugar farmers to meet their own needs and Japan's needs.

"This is Su Yunying and Su Yunti..."

Oh, those two bald guys from the Su family, compared to the average traitor who just cooperated with the Japanese to make money, these two personally led the massacre of local Taiwanese residents and anti-Japanese heroes;

They have a grandson named Su Zhenchang.

"This is Ms. Chen from Chen Xingcun..."

A little-known female traitor who donated two fighter planes to the Japanese army so that they could fight the Chinese.

"This is..."

In short, it is a gathering of stinky people and fun-loving people.

This group of men and women in front of us basically escaped liquidation after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War because of the protection of the Kuomintang government, which was even more lustful than them. Some of their descendants were quite active later and created the "Five Major Families of Taiwan" and so on.

Fujiwara no Kanezane certainly had no interest in this group of traitors who would be dealt with sooner or later. He just met with them politely with a lukewarm attitude.

But this "cold attitude" makes the traitors feel that it is justified.

Didn't you see that when a pro-Japanese like Gu Xianrong humbly "proposed" to the Japanese nobility, threatening to deprive his wife Chen Xiao of her legal status and pass most of his family property to Japanese descendants, who paid any attention to him except the lower-class nobility Iwase family?

Having said that, if the daughter of the Iwase family had not been so ugly that she could never get married, Gu Xianrong probably would not have been able to marry her.

But what about Fujiwara Kanezane?

This is the top member of Japan's royal family!

Besides being of noble status, he is also a powerful figure who currently rules the entire Northeast China. He is so young, so it would be bizarre to be kind and polite to him!

A blessing for both of you!

Just as Fujiwara no Kanezane was giving a perfunctory reception and the traitors were flattering him with tears of gratitude, a roar suddenly rose from the crowd:

"Death to you thief!"

Before anyone could react, the sound of rapid footsteps and the whistling of short swords could be heard;

Immediately, a sharp knife stabbed into the back of the last traitor: it penetrated deeply and was quickly pulled out, and then more knife flashes flashed!

Screams, cries, and running sounds rang out one after another. The Japanese soldiers and police present were stunned for more than ten seconds before they quickly protected Fujiwara Kanezane and several other Japanese heavyweights in the center, not caring about anything else!

In this way, the short but agile attacker could only kill, stabbing, prodding and cutting the traitors. He continued to do so for a full minute before he finally stopped. The guards immediately surrounded him.

At this time, the traitors had suffered heavy casualties. Some had their ears cut off, some had lost several fingers, some were stabbed into bloody gourds and fell to the ground wailing, and some could not even move.

Everything happened so suddenly that almost everyone misjudged the young attacker's strength, viewing him as a "martial arts master" and looking at him nervously.

Although he was in a desperate situation, there was no fear on his face. He held a sharp knife in his right hand and an ear that was dripping with blood in his left hand, and confronted the besiegers coldly.

He was only one person, but he seemed like an army of thousands. None of the besiegers dared to approach him, and no one even said a word for a while.

Fujiwara Kanezane pushed aside the guards blocking his way and stepped out under the worried and frightened gazes of Nakagawa Kenzo and the others. He looked at the assassin with interest and asked:

"Who are you?

"I'm your grandpa!"

The assassin replied with a sneer, causing a group of Japanese who felt insulted to fly into a rage. However, Fujiwara no Kanezane waved his hand, his tone remaining gentle, as if the matter had nothing to do with him:

"Speak kindly. I don't mean to blame you. I just admire your courage for doing this despite knowing you'll die. That's why I asked your name."

"You'll kill me after you've asked me that, right?

Although the words were still harsh, Fujiwara no Kanezane's amiable attitude ultimately stopped the attacker from continuing.

"Grandpa, I'll always keep my name, Zheng Qingshui!"

A

Zheng Qingshui, a native of Keelung, was the second son of the Zheng Mushui family of No. 48, Jinguashi, Ruifang Village, Yilan County. Historically, he attempted a bomb assassination attempt on Prince Fushimi Hiroyoshi and Prince Ashimoto Morimasa during their visit to Taiwan. He was later hunted down and committed suicide.

The Japanese rulers were extremely angry about this. Not only did they arrest and kill the entire Zheng family and Zheng Qingshui's friends, they also brutally suppressed and retaliated against the people of Keelung.

The significance of Zheng Qingshui's assassination lies not only in the assassination itself, but also in exposing the hypocrisy of the Japanese in their so-called policy of "treating Taiwan kindly and maintaining eternal friendship between China and Japan" that they had implemented since the late Taisho period.

In the eyes of the Japanese, Taiwan will always be a colony and Taiwanese will always be second-class citizens. Don't think that the Japanese will treat you as one of their own just because you speak Japanese.

“It turned out to be Mr. Zheng Qingshui.

A Japanese prince who had known about the assassination plan for a long time but did not stop it and even made a lot of arrangements introduced himself with a smile:

"Hello, my name is Fujiwara no Kanezane, most people like to call me Hachimangu Kanezane-sama.

"It's you!"

Zheng Qingshui widened his eyes and said in surprise:

"Is it really you???"

"Yes, it was me. Back then I was... ahem... you've heard of me too, right?

“I’ve heard of it!

Zheng Qingshui had indeed heard of Fujiwara no Kanezane, and because of the strong propaganda efforts of the Japanese in Taiwan, he had a very favorable impression of this ruler of Northeast China.

After all, putting aside Prince Kanezane's identity, the fact that this excellent example of "Sino-Japanese friendship" can be used to fool the Chinese into accepting rule is worth promoting extensively.

Therefore, when Zheng Qingshui learned that the person opposite was "Hachimangu Kanezane-no-Ou", his tone and attitude changed significantly:

"Aren't you in Northeast China? Why are you here?

"Well, I have something to tell you. So, why did you want to assassinate me?

“No, no, no, it’s not.

Zheng Qingshui shook his head like a rattle:

"You are different from them. I am not here to kill you, I am here to kill them.

“How is it different?

"You are a good person."

Zheng Qingshui pointed at the traitors on the ground, and then at Nakagawa Kenzo and others behind Fujiwara Kanematsu:

“But they’re not.

"Oh? Why aren't they?"

"You never kill people randomly, but they do. You really treat Chinese people as human beings, but they don't." Look,

“Oh, that does make sense…”

This conversation made everyone else's faces darken, but they quickly recovered.

Does it matter whether they are good people or not?

The important thing is...

While Fujiwara Kanezane attracted Zheng Qingshui's attention, the security police on the scene quickly made silent gestures and tried to approach quietly;

But Zheng Qingshui noticed this instantly, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly opened his clothes, revealing the bundled things inside:

"Don't move! I'll kill anyone who dares to come over here!"

M

When they saw the row of familiar yet unfamiliar things, everyone except Fujiwara Kanezane was stunned.

Human bomb.

Ever since the two astonishingly successful bombings in Manchukuo and Shanghai's Hongkou Park, the Chinese and Koreans have completely illuminated this skill point. Human bombings are becoming more and more frequent, and it is impossible to prevent them.

Because you can't just kill every non-Japanese person you see, right?

Well, that’s not entirely true.

In North Korea, some idiots did this, and what they got in return were more suicide bombings and roadside bomb attacks, which made the soldiers collapse and began to collectively refuse to carry out their superiors' orders to kill;

Because this is different from history. Now, the more you kill, the less safe you will feel!

The survivors who hate Japan will only retaliate more crazily!

It is very likely that a rock or a fallen object on the roadside may contain a bomb!

How to prevent it?

Who can defend?

The American army a few decades later was played to death, let alone the Japanese army today?

He was so worried that after the former commander-in-chief of the Korean Front Army, Hayashi Senjuro, was killed by a suicide bomber, the newly appointed Kawashima Yoshiyuki soon lost half of his hair.

Good, good, now that’s good, art has spread to Taiwan.

The situation was so difficult that Nakagawa Kenzo's first reaction was to make sure that no matter how this assassination attempt turned out, it must not be exposed, otherwise there would only be more and more imitators.

The second reaction is:

"Protect His Highness Kanezane!!!"

If Fujiwara no Kanezane loses even a hair today, the only outcome for everyone is to commit seppuku together!!

Because His Majesty Hachiman Palace was actually implicated by these "Taiwanese locals"!

It was they who invited him to Taiwan, and it was they who allowed these traitors to visit him, thus giving Zheng Qingshui the opportunity to assassinate them!

You can imagine how furious His Majesty the Emperor and the country will be!!!

Without executing all the officials in Taiwan involved in this matter, including these traitorous dogs in front of us, there is no way this matter will end easily!

However, Fujiwara Kanezane still ignored the concerns of others. He waved his hand again for the guards to make way and looked at Zheng Qingshui, who looked like he was about to die.

"Zheng Yishi, listen to me. Put down your weapon. Life is precious. Think about your parents, family, brothers, and friends. Don't do this."

"Your Highness Prince Kanezane, please stay away. I don't want to hurt you.

"So, as soon as I get out of the way, you'll detonate the bomb?

Fujiwara no Kanezane's generous smile made everyone around him nervous, fearing that he would really leave;

Especially those traitors lying or sitting on the ground, now they dared not move at all;

If the bomb explodes, they will definitely be the first to die.

Even if Fujiwara Kanezane left at this moment, no one would blame him, and it could even be said that it was natural, but he still refused:

"Mr. Zheng, even if I were to be blown to death here, I would never leave.

This not only moved many Japanese people at the scene, but also moved Zheng Qingshui.

It was the first time he had seen such a fearless "noble man".

As expected, he is the "Holy King" as the legend says...

"King Kanezane..."

"Listen, I'm really asking you not to do this.

Fujiwara Kanezane said sincerely:

"I promise not to pursue your assassination and the damage caused. Furthermore, I will do my utmost to persuade the Chinese government to change its Taiwan policy and truly treat Taiwan as their own land for development and operation. Will this make you lay down your arms?"

"this."

After hearing this, Zheng Qingshui hesitated, with anticipation in his eyes:

"You mean, treat Taiwan the same way you treat Northeast China?
