After leaving Gaomi County, the Wang brothers marched all the way to the northwest, walked about a dozen kilometers, came to a small town, stopped in front of a small inn, dismounted, walked into the small inn, and ignored the two of them, went straight to the stairs, and went up to the second floor.

I saw that there were two people in Tsing Yi guarding the staircase on the second floor, and when they saw it, they immediately took out a small bronze medal from their arms and handed it over. One person took the sign and looked at it before saying, "You wait." He turned and went upstairs.

After a short time, the man turned back, returned the bronze medal to the two of them, and said, "Bingyin's room, go." ”

The two went up to the second floor and found the Bingyin room, Wang Kexing knocked on the door, only to hear someone inside: "Come in." ”

The two pushed open the door, and saw two people sitting facing each other at a round table in the doorway, medium build, although wearing Chinese robes, but both with short hair, one was thin, while the other was a little fatter, and the age should be between 35 and 40 years old.

Seeing these two people, the Wang brothers looked very respectful, bowed down, and said in unison: "I've seen my lord." ”

The thinner man turned his head to look at them and said, "How is the situation in Gaomi County?"

Wang Kefu straightened his waist slightly and gave a general account of the situation in Gaomi County.

After listening to this, the person who asked the question frowned slightly, and said, "So if you want to mobilize Gaomi County to fight against overseas Chinese, it is not very likely to succeed?"

Wang Kefu hurriedly said: "The villain has already given Wan Yufu a move, let him go and move the squire personnel of Gaomi County, and then go to put pressure on the magistrate together?"

The man said, "Then what do you think will be the result of further pressure? Will the magistrate of Gaomi County order the whole county to mobilize to resist the attack of overseas Chinese?"

The Wang brothers glanced at each other, and Wang Kexing said, "It should be possible this time?"

The man said coldly: "What I want to hear is not ambiguous words such as 'maybe', 'seeming', 'maybe', 'as if', and a clear answer, 'yes' or 'no', and then I can explain the reason, but I don't need such a vague answer, understand?"

The brothers of the Wang family suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, Wang Kefu gritted his teeth, and then said: "The villain thinks that Gaomi Zhixian will definitely order the whole county to mobilize the people to defend the city and resist overseas Chinese? ”

The man nodded and said, "You should answer my questions like this in the future." You brothers and overseas Chinese have a grudge, but if you want to take revenge on the overseas Chinese, it is far from enough to rely on the strength of your brothers, it is possible to rely on our organization, but we are not the Qing government, you can live here and get by by fooling, what we need is people who have real work, so if you want to stay in the organization, and rely on the strength of the organization to avenge the family, you must come up with some real learning, so far, you are okay, but you will still continue to work hard in the future, understand. ”

When the brothers of the Wang family heard this, they were also a little relieved, and hurriedly nodded and promised.

There was a look of contempt in the man's eyes, and he said, "You go and rest first, and we will inform you when we do next." ”

After hearing this, the Wang brothers retired and left.

After the two of them got out of the house, the person who had not spoken up just now said: "Nakamura-kun, these two people are the useful candidates you said you found in Shandong this time." ”

Nakamura nodded, said: "This is when I was active in Jinan, I found the two of them by chance, and later I learned that the overseas Chinese killed their whole family, robbed their land and family property, it can be said that there is a deep hatred with the overseas Chinese, so they were recruited, although the ability of the two of them can only be regarded as average, but because they are locals, the area of Shandong, because it is the geographical environment of Jiaozhou Bay, We are very familiar with the customs and customs, and this is exactly what we need most, we must lay out in Shandong, and establish our intelligence network before the overseas Chinese have not yet controlled Shandong, of course, the more such people, the better. This time, I deliberately let them deal with the land reform that interfered with overseas Chinese, just to see the ability of the two of them, it seems that it is not bad now, if they follow us for a few more years, they may be able to become qualified intelligence officers. ”

The questioner asked: "Then do you think that the magistrate of Gaomi County will mobilize the residents of the whole county to defend the city and resist the attack of overseas Chinese?"

Nakamura shook his head and said, "I don't know either?"

The questioner was stunned and said, "You don't know either?"

Nakamura said with some distress: "Kobayashi-kun, we currently have a limited understanding of the situation in the Qing Kingdom, although there are some information in Japan, but I think these materials are a bit vague, and the focus is on the main officials of the Qing court central government, locally, the situation in Shandong is very lacking, we can only rely on us to collect slowly, I don't know what kind of character this Gaomi Zhi County is, so it is difficult to judge what actions he will take, and there is no way to use targeted means." This time, I let go of the Wang brothers to do it, which is also a major reason. ”

When Xiao Lin heard this, he also sighed and said, "Nakamura-kun, in fact, this plan of yours is very good, to provoke the relationship between overseas Chinese and the Qing Kingdom, in Chinese idioms, is to draw salaries from overseas Chinese." Moreover, while the overseas Chinese's foothold in China is not yet stable, so they still need to temporarily attach themselves to the Qing State, if they can provoke the contradictions between the overseas Chinese and the local officials in Shandong of the Qing State, and even develop into a large-scale war, then it will be difficult for the overseas Chinese to maintain superficial harmony with the Qing State, and this will be the biggest blow to the overseas Chinese. ”

Nakamura nodded and said: "Yes, that's why I asked the Wang brothers to incite Gaomi County and mobilize the residents of the whole city to defend Gaomi County, so that even if the overseas Chinese finally capture Gaomi County, it will inevitably cause heavy casualties to the residents of Gaomi County, which can not only destroy the overseas Chinese and the Qing Dynasty, but also cause the overseas Chinese to rule in areas such as Jiaozhou Bay. ”

Xiao Lin comforted: "Nakamura-kun, even if Gaomi County does not resist the overseas Chinese with all its strength this time, if we can push Yuan Shikai to send troops to fight with the overseas Chinese, it will be a very good result." Didn't Yuan Shikai send an army to join the landlord's army last time? Therefore, I think it is very likely that Yuan Shikai will be moved. Moreover, Yuan Shikai was a high-ranking official of the Qing State and the highest official in Shandong, if he fought with overseas Chinese, the effect would probably be better than that of Gaomi County. ”

Nakamura smiled bitterly and said, " Kobayashi-kun, I don't see it that way, through my contact with Yuan Shikai, he is a very shrewd and capable person, but not the Wang brothers or Wan Yufu such an uninformed hillbilly can be compared, not so easy to be moved by people, last time he sent the army to join the landlord's army, but in the name of the discussion is the personal behavior of middle and lower-level officers, which shows that Yuan Shikai has left himself a lot of room for reconciliation with overseas Chinese in the future, in addition, we can now give Yuan Shikai too few benefits, if we can guarantee that the Japanese government fully supports Yuan Shikai, maybe we can also say that Yuan Shikai and overseas Chinese are enemiesUnfortunately, we don't have that ability yet, and sometimes I even suspect that we were going in the wrong direction in the first place, and that we should first do our best to control the power of Japan. ”

Kobayashi hurriedly said: "Nakamura-kun, you are thinking too much, if we want to grasp the power of Japan, it will take at least ten years to do it, and at that time, the overseas Chinese have already established a stable foothold in China, and it will be even more difficult to shake the overseas Chinese, so we must continue to interfere with the overseas Chinese from now on and slow down their development, which is not wrong." Even if it doesn't succeed this time, it can be regarded as adding a lot of trouble to the overseas Chinese, at least they can't carry out any land reform smoothly, and this is a good result. ”

Nakamura nodded and said, " You are right, I am too anxious, such a force as overseas Chinese is indeed not able to be defeated in a short period of time, even if it is not successful this time, we still have enough chances, because although the land reform carried out by overseas Chinese, although it can win the support of the peasants, but it has also offended a large number of landlords, just like the Wang brothers, who have been ruined by overseas Chinese, there will definitely not be a few people in the future, so we actually have a large number of potential personnel in Shandong to develop, and it is difficult to say who will die in the future. ”

Kobayashi said, "Nakamura-kun, what are you going to do next?"

Nakamura said: "I will take the Wang brothers to Jinan." Let's see if you can say that Yuan Shikai can be moved, even if you can't say that Yuan Shikai can be moved, you should also establish a good personal relationship with him, Yuan Shikai is the most capable and knowledgeable person among the officials of the Qing Shaozhuang faction, and he will inevitably grasp the power of the Qing State in the future, so he can establish a good personal relationship with Yuan Shikai, and he can fully use Yuan Shikai to influence the Qing State in the future and make enemies of overseas Chinese. In addition, this place is too close to Gaomi County, it is not good for us to stay here for too long, and Jinan is the capital of Shandong, and after the overseas Chinese occupy Shandong in the future, it will definitely be an important city, and now it is not under the control of the overseas Chinese, so it is better for us to set the core of the intelligence network in Jinan. ”

Xiao Lin said: "You think very thoughtfully, I should also leave Shandong and continue to the northeast, and I will also conduct various investigations and collect information along the way." Shandong here will leave the matter to you. ”

Nakamura nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, to be honest, I didn't expect you to choose to go to the northeast on foot, and investigate all kinds of information about the situation in the Qing Kingdom along the way, but this is really very important to us, be careful along the way." ”
