Just then, a man suddenly rushed out of the chaotic street, took out a pistol and shot Li Hongzhang. The bullet hit the bottom of Li Hongzhang's left eye. Suddenly, he was bleeding profusely. Li Hongzhang was rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, after treatment, he didn't hurt his life.
The Japanese authorities are also afraid. However, although Japan won the Sino-Japanese War, it did its best. If there is a war because of this incident, Japan is not sure that it can win. Ito Bowen and the Emperor quickly sent people to express their condolences, and the Japanese queen also sewed handkerchiefs to express her condolences to Li Hongzhang.
However, such an important matter is bound to spread, and other countries immediately denounced Japan after hearing the news, plunging Japan into the whirlpool of public opinion. I can't help it The original compensation of 300 million taels of silver was changed to 200 million taels, which may be the most expensive bullet in the world.
To Ito Bowen's surprise, fourteen years later, a man also shot him with a bullet, ending his life. His name is An Zhonggen. As one of the principal criminals in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the name Ito Bowen is a household name in Japan, known as the three great masters after Meiji and the first cabinet prime minister in Japan. He never thought that he would be killed by a North Korean until his death.
1909101at 9: 00 on October 26th, Ito Bowen came to Harbin by special train. Russian Finance Minister Gogo Fuzov personally greeted him at the station. The platform was full of Japanese citizens and gendarmes, and An Zhonggen was lurking in the crowd. In his pocket, a Browning pistol is full of bullets.
After meeting with Gogo Fuzov, Ito Bowen reviewed the Russian guard of honor. Japanese nationals waved the sun flag and shouted long live, and the military band played music. Just as Ito Bowen was about to return to the special train. ? Bang bang bang, three shots, everything happened between crackles. Before people found anything unusual, in less than half an hour, Ito Bowen fell dead on the special train.
Liang Qichang wrote a long poem "The Autumn Wind Broken the Rattan" for him.
Poetry:? Five steps bleed, the mountain is high and the moon is high. ?
Now there is a memorial hall for An Zhonggen martyrs in Harbin, which will always commemorate this hero.
