One of the biggest manifestations of whether a person has a city government or not is whether he will panic when he is suddenly asked some questions that he is very worried about. Pu Guanshui was young after all, and after Shen Zengzhi asked about his relationship with Chen Ke, although he was not panicked, his expression immediately became stiff.

Originally, the people in the Yamen thought that the relationship between Pu Guanshui and Chen Ke was very unusual, and when they saw the young New Army Commander with such a look, everyone laughed secretly in their hearts. For this kind of chick who has a certain amount of experience in the officialdom, he is relieved from top to bottom, and feels that Pu Guanshui is quite easy to deal with.

Shen Zengzhi looked at Pu Guanshui's expression first stiff, then a little helpless, and then became relieved. He has seen a lot of such changes, much like a child who has been caught reading lazily and being caught. As a famous Confucian, Shen Zengzhi has seen this kind of expression a lot. In his experience, most of what the other party says at this time is credible, at least even the nonsense is very serious.

Pu Guanshui was very serious at this time, how to deal with this problem, he received "professional" training. Fengtai County is so close to Shouzhou, God knows what news will come to Shouzhou. The BJP's strength is limited, and instead of bothering to manipulate public opinion, it is better to leave such strength to dig a ditch. Because the purpose of sending Puguanshui to Shouzhou this time is to invite the officials of Shouzhou to the party, and then catch them all. In the case of an unknown enemy situation, how to successfully complete this task. Pu Guanshui is a soldier, not a career diplomat. Let Pu Guanshui lead the troops to fight, he can still do it. Let Pu Guanshui open his eyes and say nonsense that can fool officials at all levels, Pu Guanshui will definitely not work.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and in order to achieve this goal, the People's Party has temporarily set up a mock department. This is a temporary institution established by a demobilization training organization modeled after US imperialism. As of today's departure for Puguanshui, this temporary department has been set up for two days.

In line with the good tradition of "military instructors and officers teaching soldiers", first of all, Puguanshui and Shang Yuan taught everyone the general rules of officialdom, and then the students learned to form a temporary officialdom meeting, simulating the various talks that Puguanshui would conduct. The goal is simple, to make Pu Guanshui unambiguously portrayed as a "senior officer who comes here to deal with errands". In order to achieve this goal, Puguanshui had to show the same request in a variety of different responses that would be acceptable to the other party. In other words, "Please raise your noble hands and give Pu Guanshui a face, so that he can return to Anqing to make a business." ”

Pu Guanshui is actually quite serious, and in his opinion, such a simulation is as ridiculous as a child's play. Not only Pu Guanshui, but also the students who participated in the training only felt that it was fun and a waste of time at first. Those who can imitate are comrades from high backgrounds, and these people have their own jobs in the party, and they are really slandered by people who are suddenly brought into "playing house".

With this mentality, everyone's serious attitude can be imagined, so Chen Ke and Shang Yuan got angry. Chen Ke carefully studied Grandpa Mao's theory of contradictions, and Grandpa Mao pointed out with great foresight that "contradictions within the Communist Party should be resolved by means of criticism and self-criticism." Therefore, this child's play style against the comrades was immediately a series of criticism and self-criticism. If you let everyone work, these people don't care, but such serious criticism and self-criticism is more uncomfortable than a sentence.

Now Pu Guanshui is no longer uncomfortable, and Chen Ke solemnly admonished everyone at the criticism and self-criticism meeting: "Everything in the world is most afraid of the word serious, and we people in the People's Party are the most serious." "After the meeting of criticism and self-criticism, everyone straightened their attitudes and unified their understanding. The simulation will be in full swing. In view of many possible scenarios, everyone comprehensively simulated and carefully analyzed the mentality of officials at all levels. In fact, at the beginning, after everyone was just reprimanded, they were either helpless or unpleasantly retaliatory and serious. But with a serious mentality, everyone entered the role instead, and then found that the etiquette and sycophancy in this officialdom are really a science. Fortunately, Chen Ke and Shang Yuan found that something was wrong, and they adjusted and guided in time, and finally did not make everyone addicted to playing officials.

"Lord Shen," Pu Guanshui began to speak according to the content of the training, "I met Chen Ke in the capital...... "Pu Guanshui didn't make anything up, but began to state his relationship with Chen Ke completely according to the facts of the year.

The brilliance of intelligence warfare, or nonsense, is that it is necessary to make the whole thing logical. For example, "This person hasn't eaten for three days" or "This person can't walk". In fact, from the perspective of some "weirdos", these two things are not connected at all. But after listening to these two sentences, ordinary people naturally feel that these two sentences are logical. According to their own logical habits, everyone thinks, "This person has not eaten for three days, and he is so hungry that he can't walk." ”

Admittedly, there is nothing wrong with this logic. The only problem is that in fact these two sentences have nothing to do with each other, and the speaker is only hinting at such a logical relationship.

By selectively introducing the specific things that have happened, coupled with the operation hints of common sense, a very convincing "introduction of facts" can be effectively achieved. And this "fact" and "truth" may be completely reversed in black and white.

The training had an effect, and Pu Guanshui operated and cut the content of his acquaintance with Chen Ke, from asking for a special medicine for the treatment of willow disease, to He Ruming taking the opportunity to make a fortune. Chen Ke could play the piano and write marches for the Beiyang New Army. For the statement of these contents, Pu Guanshui played his true colors, and the things were simple and clear, without any long words. Pu Guanshui did not shy away from the two of them talking about revolution and ideals, but this content has been processed in detail. Talking about revolution and ideals has become "talking about self-motivation and ideals."

Chen Ke was a disciple of Yan Fu. When Chen Ke got married, it was Yuan Shikai who helped Chen Keti's relatives. Chen Ke met Yuan Shikai through Yan Fu's recommendation. The "March of the Beiyang New Army" written by Pu Guanshui and Chen Ke was highly praised by Yuan Shikai. Chen Ke and Shang Yuan are both from Henan. Chen Ke did not get a diploma overseas. Chen Ke hopes to get Pu Guanshui's help. Chen Ke helped Pu Guanshui a lot in the disaster relief.

The above points are also very concisely stated.

Implying that there can be no brainwashing forced indoctrination, shouting slogans, and taking big classes are not hints. Implication is based on a strong grasp of the other person's thinking. For Manchu officials, "officialdom relations" were the golden rule they considered higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Without geography, mentors and friends, and other inextricable relationships, this officialdom cannot be called officialdom.

For those officials who are better than ghosts, the training institutions of the People's Party believe that the main point of Pu Guanshui's hint is to clearly explain several points of Chen Ke, and carefully prepare the order in which these facts are stated. In order to achieve the greatest effect, it is up to the speaker Pu Guanshui to elaborate an explanation that is not so logically in line with officialdom. If the other party is the kind of fool who believes Pu Guanshui's point of view, then it is better. Because Pu Guanshui's logic is high-sounding, according to Pu Guanshui, Chen Ke is dedicated to serving the country, Yuan Shikai is an official Qingming, and he is unwilling to let relatives and friends rely on his own relationship to "get in", Fengtai County Commander Shangyuan is Chen Ke's fellow villager, let Chen Ke help, so Chen Ke got the consent of his teacher Yan Fu and started doing this in Fengtai County.

After listening to the officials in the Fengyang Mansion General Judgment Yamen, although there was no expression on their faces, they deduced a very different set of logical results in their hearts. In their opinion, Chen Ke wanted to follow Yuan Shikai's path, but because he got a graduation certificate from a European and American school, he couldn't be reused. Chen Ke must have a very high opinion of himself, so he wants to gain a reputation. So when I arrived in Fengtai County, I wanted to do something big with my fellow villager Shangyuan. Unexpectedly, he suddenly encountered a flood, so Chen Ke did something "out of line". But it worked. In order to be recognized by the government for what he did, Chen Ke hooked up with Pu Guanshui, who came out to inspect the situation of the victims, hoping to create a situation in Anhui through Pu Guanshui's recommendation.

With such a "reasonable" judgment, officials who lack actual investigation are immediately able to "understand" a lot of things. Everyone can also understand the statement that Puguanshui is "ominous". Regarding Pu Guanshui's praise of Chen Ke, the officials also immediately thought that this was Pu Guanshui's hope that he could use Chen Ke's "effective disaster relief" to add some political achievements to himself. In the final analysis, what happened in Fengtai County was just a traditional trick by a few young officials with official ties who wanted to take advantage of natural disasters to make political gains.

Not only the officials of the Anhui General Judgment Yamen, including Shen Zengzhi, also looked at this matter in this way. The only difference is that Shen Zeng-sik has no interest in reaping any political benefits from such a "farce". And other officials have already begun to think that since Chen Ke is so enthusiastic about his career, he is afraid that he will be able to reap a lot of benefits.

Since Shen Zengzhi already knew Chen Ke's origin, he was relieved. Regarding Pu Guanshui's hope to get the official document of the general judgment yamen to prove that Pu Guanshui performed very well in the local area, Shen Zengzhi did not care too much. Pu Guanshui was stationed in Fengtai County, and he didn't harass Shouzhou at all, since Fengtai County and Pu Guanshui colluded so closely, it must be fine. As for Shouzhou's side, Shen Zengzhi felt that it was enough to state the facts in the official document to prove that Pu Guanshui "did not disturb the people" and "did not commit any crimes in autumn".

The conversation has reached such a point, everyone has said what they should have said, and all that is left is a few words, Shen Zengzhi roughly expressed his attitude, and then Pu Guanshui expressed his straightforward thanks "overjoyed". Then it's time to serve tea to the guests.

Out of the Fengyang Mansion General Judgment Yamen, Pu Guanshui took a deep breath, he felt that his current mood was much more tired than fighting a battle. Pu Guanshui is not a bad memory, these days, seven or eight battles have been broken, and Pu Guanshui can clearly recall every battle. However, Fang Cai had not been talking in the yamen for a long time, but as soon as he left the gate, Pu Guanshui felt that he had forgotten a lot of what Fang had just talked about. The only thing that can be sure is that he has said all the points written on the paper summarized in the two-day training. The final result is also in line with the final judgment of the comrades of the People's Party.

It's too late to summarize and reflect, the next one is to visit the chief soldier of Shouchun Town, Pu Guanshui's schedule today is full. He was about to take a step when he saw a soldier in a New Army uniform walking briskly. This is a soldier of the insurance regiment sent by Chen Ke, but he wears the uniform of the new army and pretends to be Pu Guanshui's subordinate.

The soldier of the insurance regiment leaned against Pu Guanshui, and whispered with a stern face: "Pu Xietong, we have arrested a person who came to sue us for rebellion. We're going to take him back for interrogation. We'll have to use the boxes in our team. ”

When Pu Guanshui came this time, he carried a few boxes. These boxes are filled with genuine gifts. The original purpose was really not to catch people and stuff them in. So there are no extra empty boxes.

"Did you find the box yourself?" Pu Guanshui asked.

"The box is there, but it's very shabby. Carrying the broken box out was a bit too conspicuous. The soldier of the insurance regiment said in embarrassment.

Pu Guanshui smiled: "It's okay, it's just a day or two." But did you let others see when you arrested people? ”

"Absolutely not, that guy actually ran to our territory, surrounded by our own people. Everyone shot very neatly, and they didn't let him say a word at all. The fighters of the insurance regiment continued to whisper.

Although the insurance group could not break into the upper echelons of Shouzhou, it did not mean that the insurance group would be stupid enough not to establish its own secret base in Shouzhou. Moreover, the insurance regiment was highly disciplined, and Pu Guanshui believed that this soldier was not telling nonsense. "Then you lead the way, and we'll just pass by from there."

The soldiers who could be selected to be the secret agent liaison were all clever ghosts, and he already understood the meaning of Pu Guanshui. Under his guidance, Pu Guanshui and his party passed by a pawnshop, and then, without anyone noticing, a relatively old box was mixed into the team, and then carried by several "New Army soldiers" to follow the group. Then these soldiers of the New Army took Pu Guanshui's warrant and broke away from the brigade. I went to the gate of Shouzhou City.

Naturally, the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to intercept and inspect the officers and soldiers of the new army, and everyone greeted each other kindly, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were allowed to leave. When they arrived at the river, the "soldiers of the Anhui New Army" went directly to the big boat that sent Puguanshui to Shouzhou. This time three boats came, and the soldiers of the New Army went in to give a few words, and from the smallest of them came two sailors to help carry the boxes onto the ship. Then the boatman propped up the boat, and the boat sailed briskly downstream along the Huai River, and soon disappeared from the sight of the officers and soldiers at the head of Shouzhou City.

It's not that no one noticed this at all, in fact, the head of Shouzhou City and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate are still wondering, why this new army official, who is obviously a gift, suddenly hurriedly got an old box and went back. And what's more strange is that not long after these people left the city gate, they actually stopped a little and opened the box a crack, but they didn't know what these people were doing. However, this is not a big deal, the officers and soldiers have long known that according to the plan of the imperial court, their old troops will sooner or later be reorganized into a new army. There are many things that come and go in the officialdom to give gifts, and it is not uncommon for a senior officer of the new army to get a box. It's better not to chew your tongue yourself. So no one noticed that Hu Congjian, who entered Shouzhou City this morning, actually disappeared from Shouzhou City so unknowingly.

The officials and the army can not care about Hu Congjian, but the People's Party will definitely not care about Hu Congjian. Although they knew that they were still in the sight of the soldiers defending Shouzhou City, in order to prevent Hu Congjian at the head of the box from being suffocated to death, at the risk of arousing suspicion, the soldiers still opened a crack in the box. A box was carried into the cabin, and everyone immediately dragged Hu Congjian out of it. Although his breathing was weak, Hu Congjian still had breath. The intelligence officers of the insurance regiment are all fully trained, and the binding skills are quite high. Hu Congjian was gagged, and his limbs were pressed to his back and tied upside down, firmly tied into a reverse bow. A large rock was tied to the rope of his hands and feet, so that he could not move his head in the box.

When he caught Hu Congjian, he was beaten in the back. This guy was so frightened that after he fled from the yamen, he didn't notice a shop near the yamen, and the beggars nearby were all moving. The news was passed on through careful training, and the soldiers who carried out the arrest work followed Hu Congjian two streets, and then they started in a safe place. Hu Congjian was depressed at the time, and he didn't notice that he had been followed for so long. After a stick went down, Hu Congjian fell in response.

"This bastard, dare to report our insurance group?" After checking that Hu Congjian was still alive, the soldiers disguised as new officers and soldiers in Anhui finally relieved their hearts. If Hu Congjian is suffocated to death, this matter will not be easy to handle. After the fear was gone, the anger that had been suppressed immediately burst out, and the warrior took off his hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then brought the hat back on, and then rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go up and kick Hu Congjian.

The person next to him immediately stopped him, "What if you beat him to death?" He had to explain who sent him. ”

"Be quiet, don't let this guy hear me. Didn't the instructor say that completely cutting off the news would trigger fear. In this way, when he is asked to confess, it will be easier for him to confess. Another soldier said, looking at the water from the porthole.

"That's all you remember. The guys in the city had already plugged this guy's ears. The warrior who was about to make a move snorted angrily, "When the time comes, you must let the bastard thing speak honestly." If it's not honest......"

"Not necessarily, he may not be willing to speak." The warrior watching outside the porthole turned his head and laughed.

"If you don't speak, you'll beat this guy to death!" The anger of the fighters is real. Everyone knew what they were going to do, and they couldn't have a clear grasp of the overall situation like Chen Ke, and being run to the yamen to sue the insurance group for rebellion really frightened the soldiers.

The soldier who looked out of the porthole closed the window, sat firmly on the stool, and looked at Hu Congjian on the cabin board condescendingly, with a cold smile on his face, "Let's not beat him, if this guy doesn't speak, let's let him sing." He has to sing as long as we let him sing. ”

These words, which had both a sense of humor and an actual ferocious association, were very effective in relieving the mood of the warriors, and after hearing this, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out, and spread far and wide on the empty river.
