Chapter 881: A Person's Body Peeks into the Army's Heart
In the grass hall, Xiao Sheng, who hurried from the Nanjing Navy Headquarters, let out a long sigh: "Of course this is not a coincidence, Bai Yanzi...... It's a big problem. ”
Li Xian sneered: "I know that the Changzhou Domain is hugging his thigh for a small business, but why the Changzhou Domain went to assassinate Chen Xinghua and Chen Dading, and what is the benefit of this matter to Bai Yanding, I don't quite understand it yet." ”
Xiao Sheng handed over a stack of files and said bitterly: "After the accident between the two Chens, Chen Songding of the Naval Intelligence Department noticed it and handed me all the background information before and after the incident, plus the previous fragmentary impressions, things are probably like this......"
Li Shi's previous madness in the Zhongji Hall was not entirely acting, when he had just received news from the Japanese side that Liang Chen had been assassinated. The accident of the blind man here is related to Zhu Yigui, and the assassination of the two Chens over there is related to Bai Yanding related to the case of the blind man. Using his imagination, Li Xi vaguely saw that Bai Yanding was playing a disgraceful role on both sides, and he was naturally angry.
However, Li Xian did not know the details of the Changzhou Domain, and Xiao Sheng hurriedly came to explain the affairs of Japan.
After the Anglo-Chinese subdued the Japanese shogunate with the Beiyang Fleet and tied the Satsuma Domain to the chariot, they always regarded the Satsuma Domain as a Japanese agent, and Japan's special products such as human life, gold and silver, sulfur, and rice continued to be exchanged for various Anglo-Chinese products through the Satsuma Domain, and even followed the footsteps of the Anglo-Chinese to share the interests of various industries throughout Asia. Over the years, the Satsuma Domain became the richest and most powerful foreign feudal in all of Japan.
The Japanese shogunate has always been afraid of this and has always wanted to reverse the situation. However, as the country gradually opened up, a large number of Japanese joined the tide of co-prosperity in Asia set off by the Anglo-Chinese through the Satsuma Domain. Not only did it open its eyes, but it also gained knowledge, and the shogunate also realized. Going against Yinghua directly will never end well.
Therefore, the shogunate curved to save the country, and turned the goal of his efforts to kick away the Satsuma Domain and directly hugged Yinghua's thigh. But the Yinghua Shogunate was like a mountain in front of the shogunate's route. The strategy of the Tongshikan against Japan was to control the shogunate with Sat, and at the same time to bury the thread in the emperor's place, so naturally it would not accept the shogunate's surrender.
The shogunate changed its thinking again, and since Yinghua only wanted to lead Japan remotely through the foreign domain, then the shogunate raised a foreign domain to compete with the Satsuma domain, and the chosen foreign domain was the Choshu domain.
The shogunate also took this route at the instigation of the Choshu Domain, which had always wanted to join the Anglo-Japanese chess game. Before, when Yinghua focused on Nanyang, there was no opportunity. And when Anglo-Chinese supported Korea and opened up the battlefield between Korea and Korea, the Choshu Domain, which had been engaged in trade between Japan and South Korea for a long time, had an opportunity.
Although the Tsushima Domain was still regarded as a Japanese partner in trade between Japan and South Korea, the Choshu Domain had geographical advantages, many years of accumulation of trade routes, and a certain strength to compete with the Satsuma Domain. Before Takahashi Yoshilian killed the Choshu Domain, the decline of the Choshu Clan could only ask for guilt has changed greatly.
In the Beiyang Company and even the Beiyang Fleet had to put certain business. For example, after the ship supply was handed over to the Changzhou Domain, the Changzhou Domain finally obtained an informal breakthrough and took Bai Yanding's line. It is natural to send some dead soldiers to serve Bai Yanding, and it is also natural for Bai Yanding to use these dead soldiers to do some things that cannot see the light, for example. As Bai Yanding's confidant's entourage, he came forward to contact the people of the triad in Jiangnan.
While the Beiyang Company was engaged in the colonial immigration business, Bai Yanding avoided the Beiyang Company and the Beiyang Fleet, and took advantage of his authority to open another stall to sell slaves between the Asahi and the British. When the wave of slave trafficking cases in the country first rose, Bai Yanding estimated that he was afraid that Wang Blind would be held accountable, and maybe even afraid that he would be pushed out by the emperor to carry the entire black pot.
Whether the murderer of Wang Blind Man was Bai Yanding on this line has not yet been clarified, but the crime of the attempt is very conclusive. As soon as the blind man died, Bai Yanding panicked and was busy remedy, so he put his brain on the body of the Changzhou Domain. …,
At this time, after the background was explained, Xiao Sheng said: "In the case of Wang Blind and the case of Erchen, the Changzhou Domain does have the possibility of fishing in troubled waters and dragging Bai Yanding into the water. ”
Li Xian snorted: "This possibility is just the excuse for Bai Yanding to push the Changzhou Domain. ”
The Tongshukan represents the Anglo-Chinese country, and it supports the Satsuma Domain, and has always been vigorously suppressing the Choshu Domain, and the Choshu Domain's priests have a grudge against the Tongshukan family.
The assassination of the general matter seems to be a bloody and brainless move, which can be thought of by the Japanese, and it is a fight to the death and then life. When Yinghua was questioned, the Choshu Domain could drag the shogunate into the water, which made the hearts of the entire Japanese people boil and brought the pro-British and anti-British factions to the surface. If the shogunate yielded and did not obey the Choshu domain, then the Choshu domain could be attached to the emperor and hold high the banner of the shogunate, in short, it would become a banner force that influenced the direction of Japan's political situation.
The above calculations of the Choshu Domain are serious, although it has not yet reached the level of assassination, but the Choshu devils have tried to contact the emperor many times, and they have been registered with the Naval Intelligence Department for many times.
One of the possibilities that Xiao Sheng said does exist, after all, in Wang Shishen's case, there is no evidence that Bai Yanding has a direct connection with the triad, but only a connection between the people of Changzhou and the triad. The people of Changzhou can catch up with Bai Yanding, and they can also catch up with the Changzhou Domain.
The relationship between Bai Yanding and the people of Changzhou cannot be as good as a family, but they just use each other. Bai Yanding had the motive to kill Wang Shishen, and the people of Changzhou found a triad to assassinate Wang Shishen and framed Bai Yanding, not only to muddy the water, but also to tie Bai Yanding to the Changzhou Domain. Even if it can't reach this level, it can mess up the Anglo-Chinese Navy. After that, the assassination of Tongshi will escalate the situation, on the one hand, it will set off the political situation in Japan, and on the other hand, it will be difficult for Bai Yanding to fall into a quagmire, and it will be difficult to extricate himself.
Although this speculation is twisting and turning, it is theoretically valid until more direct evidence is available.
But because of this, Bai Yanding also has the possibility of using this theory to protect himself, after all, he is the beneficiary of the Erchen case, and it is also easy to incite the hot-blooded and brainless Changzhou feudal clan to do the Erchen case.
Two British and Chinese officers were assassinated in Japan, one dead and one seriously wounded, and it was necessary to raise troops and suppress them. And to deal with the Changzhou Domain, until the investigation of the relevant reasons is clear, I don't know how much time it will take, and because Bai Yanding leads the Beiyang Fleet and is the direct commander of the case, he can do too much.
If you analyze it further, there are too many possibilities, for example, Bai Yanding has a case involving Wang Blind but the Er Chen case is innocent, or Wang Blind is innocent but has a case involving Er Chen.
After Li Xi roughly figured out the involvement between Bai Yanding and the Changzhou Domain in this matter, he felt that he couldn't draw conclusions so quickly, and decided to summon Bai Yanding back for investigation.
Xiao Sheng sighed: "If the commander-in-chief is called, Bai Yanding is afraid, what if he really instigates the Beiyang Fleet to rebel?" If he secretly arrests people, Bai Yanding has a lot of relatives in the navy, not to mention Bai Zhengli......"
Li Xi was also silent, this is indeed a trouble. He is very confident, even if Bai Yanding is a veteran of the dragon and has flourishing branches in the navy, it is impossible to incite the entire Beiyang Fleet to rebel, let alone mess up the navy. But at this time, the hearts of the people in the country are in full swing, and they don't know where to vent. If the tide is pressed on the army because of Bai Yanding's case, it will be a big trouble. As for the disposal of Bai Yanding, not only is the situation in Japan on the cusp, but the change of generals will always cause a lot of suspicion, and Bai Yanding in the navy is also mixed, so it is difficult to ensure that the news does not leak.
Seeing that Li Shi was also embarrassed, Xiao Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's really not the right time, or that guy, it's really time." The Tokyo General Police Station also sent me a letter of assistance in the investigation, asking Bai Yanding to go to the police station for a visit, and Chen Ju really had the courage to ......"
Li Xian's brows furrowed, this is a good way, he said to Xiao Sheng: "Give Chen Ju a reply over there, and say that they will do things according to the rules." ”…,
Xiao Sheng was stunned and did what he did? Let the small police station arrest the titled general, Vice Admiral, who is in charge of dozens of warships and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers? Not to mention the police station, even if the Praetorian Guard Department comes forward and carries the emperor's handwritten edict, you have to go through the procedures of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department to avoid any accidents.
Li Xian said: "The case of Wang Blind is a criminal case involving the people, not a military case, and the Tokyo General Police Station acts according to the rules, what's wrong?" If Bai Yanding resists the law......"
Xiao Sheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's true, it's only the police officer who is doing the work, this errand really has to be done with his head." ”
Li Xian said coldly: "If the police officer loses his head, I will definitely cut off his head to accompany him!" If the army reaches this point, Lao Xiao, you should also prepare to retire. ”
Xiao Sheng was taken aback, and said solemnly: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister is guilty, and when this case is over, the minister will ask for punishment!" ”
In the Weiyang Palace, the plan of the emperor and the chief of the navy was unknown to outsiders, but the reply letter from the Admiralty surprised everyone in the Tokyo General Police Station.
"I thought it was just a paperwork process, and the Admiralty would definitely reject our petition or request that it be transferred to the Judge Advocate Advocate General's Department for disposal on the grounds of extraordinary times, but I didn't expect it...... Hi! The Admiralty actually agreed! ”
Xing Cao looked annoyed, and looked at Luo Xingxia as if he were looking at Jing Ke.
Luo Xingxia said bitterly: "This means that I have to go to Ryukyu and escort General Bai back to Tokyo?" ”
Xing Cao sighed: "Could it be that I am going?" ”
Luo Xingxia felt that the hairs on his body stood up, he was a small police lieutenant in charge of local security, but he was an eight-rank official, and he was going to arrest the commander-in-chief of the Yiyang Fleet, Vice Admiral, back to Tokyo? And his basis is not a holy decree, but an inspection document from the Tokyo General Police Station.
Who let himself take over this case and still bite it.
For a moment, Luo Xingxia really regretted it, but when he saw the double-body dragon flag hanging on the wall behind Xing Cao, his heart, which was beating wildly, also stabilized.
"I have the law behind me, I have righteousness in my heart, why should I be afraid!?"
Luo Xingxia muttered in a low voice, a little light gathering in his eyes.
"I hope Bai Yanding won't let me use the heavenly punishment outside the national law again......"
In the grass hall, Li Xian's eyes also flickered, it was a slightly uneasy and anxious light, the political hall can be chaotic, the two houses can be chaotic, the hearts of the people in the country can be chaotic, but the army must not be chaotic. Ambition can be stirred up in the political hall, in the two houses, and even in the country, in the army...... Absolutely not! (To be continued) RQ
