The so-called Hakutsuru Brewery is actually a brewery with the brand name Hakutsuru. This brewery is not actually located in Osaka City, but is located in Kobe City next to Osaka.
It is no more than fifteen kilometers away from the Brazilian Expeditionary Force's station. Fang Lang was eyeing the brewery, which was definitely not Baihe Liquor.
Fang Lang, who came from a later generation, once visited a place called Baihe Art Museum. This art museum was established in 1934 and was a very niche art museum.
And what Fang Lang was interested in was obviously not the number of paintings in the museum, but the Chinese bronzes and porcelain that had nothing to do with the name of the so-called museum.
Compared with the huge number of other museums, the White Crane Museum can only be regarded as a child's play, but this small and inconspicuous art museum houses these two Chinese antiques, which are called national treasures by the Japanese.
When Fang Lang visited this museum, he was deeply disgusted by the shameless behavior of the Japanese, but there was nothing he could do about it.
However, now that God has given me this opportunity, of course I can't let it go.
So why didn’t Fang Lang go directly to Baihe Art Museum but to Baihe Brewery?
The reason is also very simple. The Hakutsuru Art Museum was founded by the 7th generation Kano Jihei of Hakutsuru Brewery. With Japan's defeat, the Americans were about to land and become an occupying force.
Anyone with some sense would definitely move these important cultural relics. Fang Lang didn't know where Kano Jihei would move these treasures, but it didn't matter if he didn't know, as long as someone knew.
As for why Fang Lang generously wanted to bring Colonel Malik, it was because the collection of this art museum was not large. Fang Lang’s target was only the Chinese antiques in the middle. As for dividing the rest with Malik, Fang Lang would not I feel distressed.
Therefore, Fang Lang directly surrounded the Hakuhe Brewery Factory, which is known as Japan's No. 1 sake brand.
When Fang Lang arrived at Baihe Brewery, adjutant Qi Qingshan was already waiting at the door. Before Fang Lang got off the car, Qi Qingshan came forward and said:
"Boss, we have already interrogated him. Kano Jihei is neither at the winery nor at his home. He has been eating fast and praying at Tennoji Temple for more than a year."
"Eating fasting and chanting Buddha's name? Is there anyone in the Jia Na family who eats fasting and chants Buddha's name? Are you kidding me?"
Fang Lang didn't know whether other people would eat fast and chant Buddha's name, but Fang Lang really didn't believe that people in the Jia Na family knew how to fast and chant Buddha's name.
Kano Jibei is not a very famous person, and Fang Lang doesn't know him well, but Fang Lang has heard of his brother Kano Jigoro. When this name is mentioned, people who know Japanese judo, You should have heard of it.
Jigoro Kano is the founder of modern judo and is known as the "Father of Judo".
Kano Jigoro is also very famous in Brazil because his apprentice Maeda Mitsuyo brought judo to Brazil and accepted several sons of his good friend Casto Gracie as apprentices.
This is where the world-famous Gracie Jiu-Jitsu originated.
At the same time, the Kano family is actually a member of the important Kansai Zaibatsu in Japan - the Kano Zaibatsu.
It's just that this chaebol was not very famous in later generations, so most people have not heard of it.
Qi Qingshan also said with a strange expression:
"It is said that Kano Jihei felt that the Japanese army had caused great harm to the Asian people, so he took the initiative to go to Japan's largest Buddhist temple, Tennoji, to pray for the Asian people."
After Fang Lang heard this, he unconsciously felt that ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past. At this time, Japanese temples all supported Japan's aggression.
There are even many monks who join the army. Many Japanese soldiers will have Japanese monks come to bless them before joining the army. Fang Lang still believed you when you said you went to pray for Japanese soldiers, but you are just fooling yourself when you said you prayed for Asian people.
Suddenly, as if a bolt of lightning struck Fang Lang, an idea flashed in his mind, and Fang Lang quickly said:
"What temple did you just say?"
Qi Qingshan heard Fang Lang's question and answered directly:
"Tennoji."
When Fang Lang heard this name, he suddenly slapped his forehead and cursed in his heart. He almost picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
How could I have forgotten this famous Tennoji Temple?
"Everyone gather together and surround this Tianwang Temple for me, imprison everyone, and shoot to death if there is any resistance."
After giving the order, all personnel immediately began to assemble when everyone got back into the car.
Fang Lang winked at Qi Qingshan and set off with the convoy. Qi Qingshan, on the other hand, understood and led the soldiers from the guard platoon back to Baihe Brewery.
When Qi Qingshan and others caught up with the convoy, Fang Lang casually glanced at the fire rising into the sky in the distance and said nothing.
Tennoji Temple in Osaka is located at the South Gate of Osaka. Later, Tennoji Park was built, and the Osaka Museum of Art and Shitennoji Temple are located together.
There are many treasures in the temple, and the Bingzi Jiaolin sword of the Sui Dynasty is enshrined as a national treasure by the Japanese. The sword is actually a Sui straight sword (or ring-headed sword) cast in a place called Jiaolin in the Bingzi year. knife).
Tennoji Temple is a huge place, and in order to block it, the expeditionary force almost came out in full force.
Fang Lang stayed at the entrance of Tianwang Temple and did not go in immediately. Instead, he waited quietly until the temple was completely surrounded before he waved his hand leisurely.
Because it was already midnight and everything was dark.
The sound of the expeditionary army convoy surrounding Tennoji Temple still woke up the monks in the room.
Before the soldiers of the expeditionary force came forward to knock on the door, two monks opened the door of the temple. Looking at the dense crowd of soldiers outside the temple, they were obviously very frightened.
Now that the door has been opened, there is nothing to be polite about. The soldiers began to rush inside without Fang Lang's command.
The two monks who opened the door had their hands clasped together, ready to ask the soldiers their intentions.
It's a pity that the soldiers didn't give them a chance to speak. They just smashed them with the butt of their rifles and ignored the monks' shouts.
Anyway, they couldn't understand what they were shouting. The order they received was to imprison all the people inside.
Fang Lang was very satisfied when he saw the soldiers' behavior, because Fang Lang had seen too many movies, in which both sides had to talk harshly for a long time or fight for a long time before doing anything.
He doesn't have time to talk nonsense with these people here and act like he is the villain.
Of course, in the eyes of the Japanese at this moment, he is indeed a villain, but Fang Lang himself has never felt that way.
As the incarnation of justice, how can he be regarded as a villain when he charges a small amount of interest from evil on behalf of justice?
The chaos in the monastery did not last long because there were not many monks in the monastery at this time.
After all, Japan did not have enough soldiers during the war. How could the government allow so many adult men to continue to eat fast and chant Buddha's name in temples?
With square steps and a cigar in his mouth, Fang Lang slowly walked into this very famous temple in Japan, surrounded by a platoon of guards.
For some reason, Fang Lang felt that at this time, it should be matched with the BGM of the God of Gamblers to appear more impressive.
Soon, Fang Lang came to the room where the soldiers detained the monk.
At a glance, I found that there were only about forty monks and more than twenty other staff, including five or six Japanese girls wearing kimonos.
Seeing this situation, Fang Lang couldn't help but feel happy.
It looks like the Japanese translator next to me said:
"What's going on? Are women still allowed to stay overnight in your temples in Japan? Are you practicing Joyful Zen?"
When the translator around him heard this, it was rare for Fang Lang to take the initiative to ask him a question today. This was really a blessing from heaven!
He quickly said with a flattering look:
"Dear Mr. Colonel, I have just learned that these women came to seek refuge with their families. The gentlemen and ladies hiding here are all well-known nobles in Osaka City.
If, Mr. Colonel, you want to experience our Japanese Happy Zen, please leave it to me. I will persuade these noble ladies to practice Zen and enlightenment with you tonight.
It will be their honor. "
Fang Lang didn't expect that this Japanese translator would be so good. He couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction and said:
"Saga! You are very good. After you finish dealing with things here, ask them to come over. I want to pick two beautiful ones and come over and practice the Japanese Joy Zen with me.
Now, bring me the host here first. "
The Japanese translator heard Fang Lang's praise and was overjoyed. He hurriedly bowed at 90 degrees, said "Hi!" and then turned around to face the crowd and chattered.
Soon, an old monk with a stooped figure wearing a gorgeous black monk's robe walked out. Fang Lang could tell from the age spots on his face that the presiding monk was at least seventy years old.
I saw the old monk in charge clasping his hands and jabbering at Fang Lang. Unfortunately, Fang Lang didn't speak Japanese.
But looking at the old monk's expression, it was obvious that he was questioning Fang Lang and the others about their purpose of breaking into the temple in the middle of the night.
The Japanese translator was about to translate when he was interrupted by Fang Lang with a wave of his hand. He was not interested in hearing what this old Japanese monk had to say!
This is his territory now, he must be the one who makes the decision! Only others listen to him, when will it be others' turn to ask him what he wants to do.
Now that we know who is the leader of these monks, that's all.
Fang Lang translated directly to the Japanese:
"Tell this old monk that I don't have time to talk nonsense with him here. Let him take me to the treasure room in the temple, and if I say any more nonsense, I will drag someone out and kill him."
The Japanese translator's eyes jumped after hearing Fang Lang's words. He didn't expect this officer to be so simple and rude.
He quickly turned around and faced the old monk, jabbering.
After hearing this, the old monk's face turned livid, and he muttered to the translator.
After listening to the translator, he looked like Fang Lang with some anxiety and said:
"Mr. Colonel, the presiding master said that this behavior of your army is unacceptable."
Fang Lang glanced at the translator and knew that the old monk must not have said it so politely.
Because although Fang Lang couldn't understand what the old monk said specifically, he knew from the tone and body language of the old monk that he didn't say anything nice.
