"Your Majesty. According to the minister's investigation, the emperor said that the Leshantang in Hankou and the Shanghai Yueqing Trade Research Institute were all spy agencies set up by the people in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the Hankou Leshantang has been ten years old, and the Shanghai Yuqing Trade Research was also established in September of the 16th year of Guangxu. Zhou Qin, who had been out for more than two months, finally came back, bringing a news that shocked Guangxu, who was later generations: "The minister took these two places as the head to investigate separately, and there were branches in more than 10 cities such as Beijing, Changsha, Yucheng, Jiujiang, Kaifeng, Jinan, and Hangzhou. As far as Xinjiang, Tibet, Mongolia, and other places, signs or proofs of espionage activities have been found. ”

"According to the information ascertained, the minister has compiled a list of the main locations and persons in charge of the spy organs in various places, and I invite the emperor to take a look at them."

Nezuichi, the head of the Hankou Leshantang, compiled the information he had obtained in detail, and turned it into a set of books called "The General Survey of Qing Trade." The book is divided into two parts and three volumes, with a total of more than 2,000 pages, covering all aspects of politics, finance, commerce, industry, education, transportation, geography, climate, customs and habits of the Qing Dynasty. ”

The minister found out that after the book was sent back to China, only the Leshantang in Hankou had a copy of it. For fear of startling the snake, it caused people to be alert and had not yet moved. ”

In addition, the headquarters of North China was located in the capital, and the head of the headquarters was Aoki Nobutsune. Under the pseudonym Jiro Hirose, he is said to have drawn an elaborate map of the suburbs of Yenching. The matter is still being investigated. ”

"The main persons in charge of the spy are as mentioned by the emperor: Arao Seiki, Nezui and others speak in Chinese and have a deep Han cultural literacy. Arao Sei was even born in Dalian and gave himself the nickname 'Dongfang Zhai'. ”

"Under the guise of selling 'Jingqi eye drops', these people have established relationships with the gentry wherever they go, giving small favors and obtaining information. When he doesn't go out, he is dressed in a robe and horse coat, which looks elegant and elegant, and for the poor people who seek medical treatment, he also does not pay for the consultation, and also gives some cheap medicine. ”

"These people go out under the guise of selling goods, and if the goods are sold, they even work as coolie porters to spy on intelligence."

"Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, and some of his staff have sought treatment from them. The minister can confirm that Hankou Leshantang has gathered dozens of first-class spies at this time. ”

……

"The most terrible thing is that the officials everywhere are unwary of the people and let their spies operate freely. There are still many officials who are not vigilant at all, and they are even more conniving at people. Whoever asks him will be answered. ”

"Wei Chen was frightened, if it wasn't for the emperor's reminder, the minister would never have thought that the people had infiltrated my Qing Dynasty so deeply, and the scope of involvement was terrifying. How to deal with these people, please ask the emperor to make it clear. ”

Guangxu knew that as early as the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, he had the heart to conquer China. Originally, I thought it was just a battle to start the war, and to investigate the layout of China's troops in order to write a book of conquest of the Qing Dynasty. I also thought that the large-scale infiltration of the spies began after the First Sino-Japanese War. Unexpectedly, there was already an encyclopedic all-round reconnaissance such as "Overview of Qing Trade". Guangxu sat quietly, recalling the eight-year Anti-Japanese War in later generations, when the commander held a map more detailed than the national political axe, and the feng shui building in Shanghai, New China......

"Are I aware of your actions?" Finally, Guangxu put down the booklet in his hand and asked softly.

"Nope." Zhou Qin replied very simply: "Officials everywhere are laissez-faire to the people, and the frivolous little Yue Ben and Ben never thought that there would be people in the Qing Dynasty staring at them." A lot of information from Weichen was exchanged with other places using the information that the people had already learned. Your Majesty, it's better to simply ......" Zhou Qin made a "killing" action.

"It's not time yet."

"Your Majesty, we can create some accidents. Please rest assured that the emperor has already drawn up a plan, and it is absolutely clean and neat, so that people can't grasp it. ”

"No, then I'll definitely be suspicious. Absolutely not. Let me think about it. ”

Guangxu was a little irritated pacing back and forth in the imperial study, unable to think of a proper way: "You first tell me how you arranged it at the moment." ”

"It has been found to be a place for spy, and Weichen has been left to keep an eye on it. Back to the emperor, Weichen is incompetent. So far, Wechen has not been able to find enough reliable manpower to track the people in an all-round way, so he can only track the spy agencies and the main leaders. ”

"It's not your fault. You have a credit for being able to achieve such results in such a short period of time. Anyway, he couldn't think of a way to counteract, so Guangxu simply didn't think about it: "You don't care about the matter of leaving the new army." ”

Zhou Qin smiled instead: "Weichen is derelict in his duties." ”

"Forget it, you just don't care about the military academy, anyway, Ouyang Zhenhua is also very good at leading the troops in logistics. You can take a job at the military academy and concentrate on your CIA. Recently, I said that I didn't make any moves. ”

"Yes. Judging from the recent information, it seems that I have suspended the collection of intelligence on the south and western parts of the Yangtze River and the western part of the country, and has gradually transferred personnel to Zhili and the northeast. ”

What else can I do, prepare for the war in two years' time. Guangxu was still asking: "Recently, there have been unknown people outside the military academy and the Fengtai camp, do you know?" ”

"The minister has received the report, and can confirm that one of them is named Fujishima Takehiko, and he is Nezu's right-hand man. Not only that, but there are spies who say that they are all outside the Daqing Bank. However, we only expelled them and did not take drastic action. ”

"It's not okay to go on like this, only to defend and not attack, so I can only let Yue find a flaw." Guangxu knocked lightly on the table: "Are there any countermeasures?" ”

"Yes, both internally and externally. It's just that the plan is not yet complete. ”

"It's okay, let's talk about it."

"Internally, we are understaffed and have to clean up one by one. Although the minister is sure that he will do it seamlessly, he is afraid that it will still arouse his vigilance. Externally, the minister has already sent two people to Yueben to prepare in advance. The follow-up plan has not yet been clarified due to the short time, and the required personnel and related matters are still being prepared. ”

"You're doing a great job. If I eat anything, I don't suffer. Guangxu turned to look at the world map hanging on the wall. Zhou Qin didn't see Guangxu frowning slightly: "It is said that this is an island country, and if there is no navy, it is equivalent to losing everything." Guangxu pointed to Tokyo Bay and followed the southern coastline all the way to the west: "You will use this waterway to expand, including all the geographical and hydrological data of the waterway, surrounding forts, military camps, arsenals, arsenals, shipyards, etc. Don't leave one behind. ”

"Wechen is going to prepare."

"I will give you another year and a half, and after a year and a half, as long as I give an order, I will say that all the spy agencies I have set up in various parts of the Qing Dynasty must be destroyed within one night."

"We're in command."

"Twenty more of your best people. I have other arrangements. After speaking, Guangxu clapped his hands. Kou Liancai came in through the door with a large vase.

"This is Yuan Qinghua, which is worth more than one million taels in the market. If you take it out and sell it, it will be regarded as a funding. Remember, you can only sell it to foreigners, preferably yourself. ”

"Your Majesty, how can the treasures in the palace be lightly in the hands of foreign races. No matter how bitter Weichen is, he can't let the emperor sell the treasures in the palace anymore. ”

Guangxu smiled and did not speak. Kou Liancai spoke: "Liulichang's." ”

"Fakes?" Zhou Qin took it and looked at it carefully: "With Weichen's eyes, you can't tell the truth from the false." ”

"Lord Zhou, rest assured, this is carefully selected by the glass factory. The masters of the glaze factory can only distinguish the authenticity by the marks, and the eyesight of the foreign devil is far worse. ”

Zhou Qin's inspiration flashed: "Your Majesty, can you imitate some antiques worth tens of thousands of taels to more than ten thousand taels, so that it is more convenient to give them away or sell them." ”

"You can discuss these things with Kou Liancai."

Kou Liancai walked to Zhou Qin's side: "Lord Zhou, there are dozens of slaves, if you need it, just come and get it." ”

That night, Zhou Qin handed over the list. Guangxu didn't even look at it, and handed it to Leng Jun: "Check the list." Faithfulness is primary. ”

"Minions understand." Leng Jun took it and said: "The emperor asked the people who were arranged by the slaves in North Korea to send back the news. Recently, Yuan Shikai has been in frequent contact with Xu Shichang of the Shanghai Affairs Times. There is a lot of speculation about the intentions of the imperial court. ”

"Got it."

In the empty imperial study, Guangxu Tsai reviewed the plans he had implemented and the plans he would implement. Because he has no financial power, he is forced to postpone everything he wants because he has no funds. There is no way, in exchange for a secret loan from the United States by selling the country's mineral deposits. This is also the dominance of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, and in later generations, this is the crime of betrayal of the country by the thousands of people. Fortunately, it is also placed in the northeast, and Britain is only a little dissatisfied, and the south is the interests of the British. And for the United States, it is indeed good news, the saturated capital has a cathartic outlet, although small, but it is better than nothing, let alone a market with a population of 40,000. But the United States is still not satisfied, and the minister to China, Tian Bei, is already testing whether the Qing Dynasty can relax restrictions.

As for imitating rare antiques, this is a method that Kou Liancai came up with for Guangxu to sell his palace property repeatedly, and it is up to fate whether it succeeds or not. In fact, Guangxu is still sure.

Whether it was the right choice to put the United States into the Far East in order to resist the invasion of Yuben was actually not at all in Guangxu's heart. Putting the United States into the Northeast is also a helpless move, which is tantamount to driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, and the wolf is still sharpening its claws. In the future, how to expel the United States again, in fact, Guangxu and Ben have no plan, and they are completely taking one step at a time.

In Guangxu's heart, he understood that letting the United States in had the greatest advantage and the last way out. If Guangxu really cannot change history, then Northeast China is an area of interest for the United States, and in the future, whether it is Ben or Russia wants to enter Northeast China again, it must face the United States directly, and the United States will definitely resist for the sake of its own interests, and will give up burying its head in economic development to compete with each other for military strength. No matter who is in power, China can be between the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom, and the United States, which is far away from China, will definitely vigorously support China's political axe. As far as the United States and Russia are concerned, what the United States wants is only profits, while Russia wants real land. In the final analysis, Guangxu is not sure whether he can win the battle with only two years of preparation time, and whether history can be changed, the ghost knows.

Guangxu alone carefully counted the things that had been done: the new army was built, the university was established, the logistics system was established, the bank began to make money, the railway had been laid, the basic industry was also built by virtue little by little, the Jiangnan Arsenal began to be rectified, and the Tianjin Arsenal also began trial production. Even the Jingshi Hospital was prepared according to the battlefield hospital, and the palace arranged for the palace maids and eunuchs to take turns to learn medical care. Li Enfu also took the money on the road. The security system Qi Yide and Leng Jun have done a good job, and the intelligence system has also been established, so if you think about it carefully, there should be nothing to pull down. But I always feel that something is missing, but I can't remember it. Being able to accomplish so much work in more than half a year doesn't know how it was done if you think about it carefully, and the reaction of the great powers can be estimated. The Queen Mother is a little incomprehensible. Whatever, though.

Guangxu looked at the starry sky, and now everything he can think of is ready, and he just needs to work hard to perfect and keep improving. Guangxu couldn't help but sigh to the sky: The Jade Emperor and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which of you came up with this idea and let a mechanical engineer pick such a big beam, is this idea a little stinky.

From now on, one more 3k per day, thank you for your support!
