10821908 Far Eastern madman

The sky is clear and sunny. The morning air is exceptionally fresh, and the city has become bustling in the late summer sun.

This is Zhengzhou, Henan, the most important transportation hub on the Jinghan railway line, if the Longhai railway in the scraping is also completed, this Zhengzhou is the transportation hub station of the entire Central Plains.

Tian Jinfu, dressed in a brand-new military uniform and armed belt, strode into the General Headquarters, and now Zhengzhou is not only the logistics terminal of the Northern Expeditionary Force of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of the United Front. At the same time, it is also the location of the Northern Expeditionary Command. After returning from Zhengding in the north a few days ago, Zhao Bei issued an order to move the headquarters of the United Front and the general staff to Zhengzhou. Now, Zhao Bei lives in a wing room in the prefect's yamen.

Tian Jinfu is not only the main person in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but also a senior officer of the General Headquarters. It was easy to get in and out of the Commander-in-Chief's headquarters, and the guards didn't stop him much when he walked in, but when he walked to the front of the cross-courtyard where the Commander-in-Chief lived, he was stopped by the guards. After reporting like this, five minutes later, Qin Sihu hurriedly came and stood in front of Tian Jinfu. "Smack" a stand upright, salute.

"Hello sir!"

"You haven't forgotten that I was your commander? Several of you are also my old subordinates, and I have only been away for so many days, and you have turned your face and denied people. ”

Tian Jinfu returned the salute, but what he said was also a little ridiculous.

"Sir Haihan. Military discipline is military discipline, and no one is allowed to step into this courtyard without the permission of the commander-in-chief. Besides, didn't you tell us the same thing in the first place? Qin Sihu grimaced. But in his heart, he is also very happy, Tian Jinfu is back, maybe he can give Chief Tian the moment again

。

"You kid, when did you learn to be poor?"

Tian Jinfu punched Qin Sihu in the chest, scolded a few words with a smile, and then took out a paper bag from the pocket of his military uniform, stuffed it into Qin Sihu's hand, and said: "This time I came from Xinyang, I don't have anything to bring, think about it, I brought you a few pairs of socks." Anyway, change your homespun socks. It's not breathable, you feet, I can smell it now. ”

"Thank you, sir! However, I brought my socks from home, and when I wore them, I was reluctant to throw them away. Qin Sihu smirked, but he didn't mean to push the paper bag back.

"I didn't tell you to throw it. Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you, you go and report to the commander-in-chief, and say that I have important information to report to him in person. ”

"Not really. The Commander-in-Chief hasn't woken up yet. Qin Sihu glanced at the courtyard. Then he shook his head.

"Surprise, usually the commander-in-chief gets up at seven o'clock, why is it almost eight o'clock today, and he is still lying in bed?" Tian Jinfu was a little strange.

"The Germans had a banquet last night. When the commander-in-chief attended the banquet, he drank more foreign wine. It was not until midnight that we carried it back to the present, and I am afraid that the strength of the wine has not passed. Qin Sihu said.

"The commander-in-chief can't drink much, but he has to be a good man. But that's also to blame, I'm not with the Commander-in-Chief. Won't you have a few drinks for him? If I were here, it would be those foreign devils who would lie down and be carried back. ”

Tian Jinfu rolled up his sleeves and was about to blow it. But I heard Zhao Bei's shouting from the courtyard.

"Tian Jinfu, don't blow it, you kid! Your amount of alcohol is not good. Four tigers, let him in and talk, and bring a basin of hot water by the way, the wine I drank last night is really not covered. ”

Tian Jinfu walked into the courtyard and saw Zhao Beizheng holding the door frame and rubbing his temples with his hands, so he hurriedly took a few steps to catch up and saluted.

"Report to the Commander! The ministry returned from Xinyang. ”

Zhao Bei returned the salute, yawned first, and then asked, "You just said that you want to tell me information?" ”

Tian Jinfu smiled, took out a piece of paper from the pocket of his military uniform, presented it, and said, "Actually, it's not too important information." When the intelligence station was established in Xinyang, a news came from Shanghai that Feng Guozhang had appeared, and now he was in the Shanghai Public Concession, this guy was very hard, and he ran very fast, but I don't know which way he ran to the Shanghai Concession. ”

Zhao Bei took the note, looked at it, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, if we catch this Feng Guozhang, we can use him to make a fuss, Feng Guozhang's status in Beiyang is much higher than that Wu Peihu." ”

"Or, let's order the intelligence officers in Shanghai to take action and tie up Feng Guozhang?" Tian Jinfu was a little eager to try.

"Forget it. Intelligencers are of great use as kidnappers. It's not worth it for the sake of an outdated Beiyang general. Yiren, you have to remember. The main job of an intelligence officer is to collect intelligence, and as for kidnapping tickets and assassinations, they are occasionally acceptable, but they cannot reverse their priorities, and they cannot do the thing of picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons. ”

"I remembered. By the way, the commander is in such a hurry to call me back, what is he asking me to do? Tian Jinfu asked

"Come into the house and talk."

Zhao Bei entered the house, and at this time, Qin Sihu also brought a basin of hot water, Zhao Bei took the towel, twisted a few handfuls in the copper basin, and then wiped his face with a hot towel.

"Yiren, the intelligence that came over the day before yesterday, Nanjing Xu Baoshan is already in the way, although Wang Shizhen is only seriously injured and not dead, but the first army of Beiyang southward is indeed in chaos, and the situation in the southeast is developing in our favor."

"Wang Shizhen is not dead? How do they do it? ”

Tian Jinfu was a little strange, took the collection brush and a jar of tooth powder from Qin Sihu's hand, and walked to Zhao Bei.

"Maybe it's due to the directional mines. Our intelligence officers in Shanghai had never been in contact with this kind of mine before, and they were in a hurry when they acted, and their fists could be fully experimented, so although the location was relatively hidden, it was still far from the road, and when Wang Shizhen passed by, he didn't hit the vital point, and his adjutant died a few times. However, our intelligence "factory data is all the same. It is very difficult to do so, Xu Baoshan is uncertain, and among all the bombs and mines currently equipped by our army, only water mines and directional mines can be detonated with electricity. At that time, it was true that there was no more suitable weapon, and there was no time to customize special mines. ”

"Now that Wang Shizhen is seriously injured and the First Army of Beiyang Southward is leaderless, did he order the Hangzhou United Front troops to launch an attack on the front line of Nanjing and Shanghai? If you occupy this place, the overall situation of the whole country will be decided. ”

Tian Jinfu dipped the toothbrush in tooth powder, handed it to Zhao Bei, and filled a tea jar with some cold boiled water, and handed it over.

"No, now the RUF troops in Hangzhou can't attack, otherwise, it will only force the first army of Beiyang to the south to fight the trapped beasts. Now, all we have to do is wait, wait for the situation to change, Beiyang used to rely on Yuan Shikai to unite, but now Yuan Shikai is seriously ill, and Xu Shichang is a peacemaker. may not be able to control the situation, the Beiyang generals below will naturally no longer obey the Beiyang Center, people have their own interests, the key depends on whether we can make full use of this catty. Situation. ”

Zhao Bei said this, and walked out of the house with a tea jar. Stand by the flower bed and start brushing your teeth.

Tian Jinfu followed and stood beside Zhao Bei. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Commander, you still haven't said why you are in a hurry to call me back to Zhengzhou." ”

Zhao Bei brushed his teeth, rinsed his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, and said: "Yiren, I called you back because I wanted you to go to Tianjin, and I have a task to hand over to you, the intelligence chief." ”

"What task? The commander gave the order. The department guarantees to complete the task! Tian Jinfu suddenly perked up, and "snapped" a straight position.

Zhao Bei looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "Now those old and young people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are jumping up and down taking advantage of the chaos, and the so-called" Eight Banners outside the Guan, is their general backstage, behind the "Eight Banners outside the Guan", there is still a book standing today, it is not good to say that there is still that Russia, we can't be negligent, we can't let them succeed." Some time ago, information came from Tianjin, these Manchu relics, old and young, were planning an operation, they planned to rescue the Manchu Emperor Fuyi and the Alcohol King Zaihan, and then find a way to send them to the Northeast to restore their banner dynasty and be lackeys for the Japanese. Originally, you are a familiar face, and it is not suitable to go to Tianjin, but I really can't find a more suitable person than you now, and when you go to Tianjin, you had better avoid showing up in public as much as possible, and the contact with the intelligence station should also be handed over to your subordinates. ”

Tian Jinfu suddenly said: "Is that okay?" "Manshin Luo Jige"? The scale of the Tianjin intelligence station is not large now, if I want to stop the banner people's catty and operation, I am afraid that there will not be enough manpower, can I bring more capable personnel to Tianjin? ”

Zhao Bei was about to speak, but saw Qin Sihu hurrying over.

"Report! Mr. Song Jiaoren came over. ”

"Please Mr. Song go to the reception room and wait

Zhao Bei nodded, patted Tian Jinfu on the shoulder, pointed to the room, and said: "At the beginning, the two of us formulated the "Manruluo Plan Scraping" in Sichuan, which was originally intended to mix our people into the "Eight Banners outside the Guan", but this net has been spread for too long. Maybe now is the time to close the net, as for

"Eight Banners outside the Guan, over there, I can't take care of it for the time being. Yesterday I had already made a few action plans, wrote them down on paper, and put them under my pillow, you go first, and I will have a few words with Mr. Song. Let's go do something with him, and when I come back, we'll discuss Tianjin's actions." ”

Tian Jinfu took the toothbrush and tea jar back to the house, Zhao Dian took the military hat that Qin Sihu brought over, straightened his military uniform, walked out of the small courtyard, and rushed to the reception room.

When he arrived at the reception room, Song Jiaoren was sitting precariously, dressed in leather shoes, and holding a black top hat in his hand.

Seeing Zhao Bei arrive, Song Jiaoren hurriedly stood up and said hello, and at the same time put on the top hat.

"You don't need to be so formal, do you?" Zhao Bei looked at the other party's dress, this dress was indeed too "ancient", especially the tuxedo.

"Last night was a banquet, of course you can be casual. Now we will have a formal meeting with the delegation of the German Chamber of Commerce, and we must not be sloppy in dress and etiquette. Although I have always been opposed to an alliance with Germany, I am not opposed to commercial cooperation with Germany. ”

Song Jiaoren was serious, and looked at Zhao Bei's dress, dressed in a straight military uniform. The leather shoes were shiny, and they were so-so, but the revolver on the belt made the constitutional vanguard a little uncomfortable, but compared to the box gun on Qin Sihu's waist, this small pistol was not so eye-catching.

"Dull Chu, about negotiations, you are a master, you ask first.

"No, no. The chairman of the committee is the superior. It should be ahead of the curve. ”

Zhao Bei and Song Jiaoren said a few polite words, and in the end, the two decided to leave side by side.

"Dull Chu, you didn't bring much carry-on luggage this time to the south, did you? Where did you get this outfit? ”

When he stepped out of the door, Zhao Bei asked curiously.

"This is borrowed from the Zhengzhou General Chamber of Commerce. It is ashamed to say that the despicable family is poor. Studying abroad is still sponsored by relatives in the clan, and I can't afford to buy a formal dress like this. ”

Song Jiaoren told the truth, which also made Zhao Bei sigh for a moment, the phrase "poor literature and rich martial arts" still has some truth, but at the same time, revolution. It is true that it also requires a lot of money, and it takes even more money to build a country.

Now, Zhao Bei and Song Jiaoren were going to bargain with the German businessmen to recommend China's industrial development for financial and technical support.

As a constitutional member of parliament, although he has little affection for the German government. However, on the issue of seeking German economic aid, Song Jiaoren's position was completely consistent with Zhao Bei's, the difference was that Song Jiaoren always cared about the reaction of the British, while Zhao Bei seemed to have no scruples, at least on the surface.
