743 Political nursery rhymes

Yu Ningshuang said suspiciously: "Master, what if the Qing court doesn't fall for it?" ”

Lin Fei looked at Chiyo Shizuka and said with a smile: "It depends on Shizuka's ability." ”

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured." Chiyo Shizuka was about to say goodbye after speaking, but was held by Lin Fei and Yu Ningshuang together, and waited until the next day before leaving for Luoyang.

From Dayu City to Luoyang, you have to take a boat first, and then take a train, it takes about eight days, and when Chiyo Shizuka comes to Luoyang, it is already July 9.

If it was placed in the past, from Dayu City to Luoyang, it could be tossed for more than a month, and Chiyo Shizuka could reach Luoyang so quickly, thanks to the railway, after Lin Fei laid down a large area of land in the Qing Kingdom, he built a large-scale railway in the Qing Kingdom, in order to complete the construction of the railway as soon as possible, Lin Fei came up with a way to raise funds and build together.

First of all, in order to get more funds, Lin Fei stretched out his hand to the landlords of the Qing State, when Lin Fei carried out land reform, he only confiscated the land, did not take away the property, and those Qing landlords had a lot of money in their hands, and Lin Fei asked these landlords to fund the construction of railways.

If it is forced by administrative order, those landlords will not agree, and even if they agree, they will be disobedient, so Lin Fei stipulated that those who contribute to the construction of the railway can receive dividends from the profits obtained from the operation of the railway, and the proportion of dividends is determined according to the proportion of capital contribution.

Although this regulation can greatly promote the enthusiasm of the people to invest in the railway and speed up the construction of the railway, it leaves a hidden danger for the future, that is, a considerable part of the wealth brought by the railway is gathered in the hands of a small number of people, which will inevitably bring about the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor, but Lin Fei did not take into account this hidden danger in order to speed up the construction of the railway.

Although Lin Fei made this decision, but those landlords did not have a few contributions, people are like this, when you tell him that it is profitable to do something, he will not believe it at all, and when he sees others getting benefits, he will rush to do that thing.

So Lin Fei erected a few examples among the landlords, so that everyone could see that it was profitable to build a railway, and those landlords came up with money one after another.

In addition to raising funds from Qing landlords, Lin Fei did not let go of foreign funds, mainly funds from the United States and some South American countries, especially the United States, capitalists heard that they could build railways on a large scale in Qing countries, and after the construction could also get operating profit dividends, they donated generously.

The American capitalists brought not only money, but also a large number of railway construction teams, and in this way, in just nine months, Lin Fei had laid more than 2,000 kilometers of railways in the Qing Kingdom.

When Chiyo Shizuka came to Luoyang, it was already July 9, at this time the first division of Henan, the second division of Henan, the third division of Henan and the first division directly under it (that is, the original troops stationed in Tianjin) had assembled near Tongguan, Luoyang is the general rear of material transit and intelligence exchange, and a large number of vehicles and personnel come and go between Luoyang and Tongguan every day.

After Chiyo Shizuka arrived, he immediately met with the head of the Xi'an Intelligence Station, the head of the Xi'an Information Station was codenamed the Tomb Keeper, because the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was in the area of Xi'an, so the stationmaster gave himself such a code name, as for his real name, Chiyo Shizuka did not know.

Chiyo Shizuka first asked, "How many of our people are there in Xi'an?" ”

"There are twenty core members, more than 200 peripheral members, all of whom are serving in the Qing court, and the peripheral members are all three sects and nine streams, and there are all kinds of people, in addition to the intelligence officers and operatives who are contacted by the members alone, for the sake of secrecy, these people do not report to me, I don't know how many of these people there are."

"Very good, these people are enough, I came this time to convey His Majesty's special mission, you also know that Yuan Shikai is guarding Tongguan, and it is difficult for us to conquer it, so His Majesty hopes that we will use tactics to drive a wedge between the Qing court and Yuan Shikai, so that Yuan Shikai will lose the trust of the Qing court, and it is best to let the Qing court force Yuan Shikai to go out of the pass to face the battle."

Chiyo Shizuka paused when she said this, took out a small notebook from her pocket, handed it to the mausoleum keeper, and said, "This is my initial idea of the rhetoric, you can take a look at it and make a reference." ”

The mausoleum keeper took the small notebook, swept it through, returned the small notebook to Chiyo Shizuka, and said, "I wrote down the things on it, and I will go back and arrange it." ”

"I will stay in Luoyang, if you need anything, you can ask me at any time, mausoleum keeper, you have to remember that this operation has the highest priority and must be completed."

The mausoleum keeper nodded, got up and said goodbye, his face sank like water, his heart was not easy, this matter was not so easy to do.

Spreading rumors can often be seen in classical novels, the most famous is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", for example, during the Battle of Chibi, Xu Shu saw through the serial plan of Dongwu and asked Pang Tong to teach him a strategy to get out, Pang Tong then asked Xu Shu to spread the news, saying that Xiliang Ma Chao intended to raise troops, and Xu Shu took the opportunity to go to Xiliang to defend it, so he got out.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Xu Shu only said one sentence about how to spread the news: "Let's say that Xu Shu secretly sent his neighbors to go to the villages that night to spread rumors." The next day, in the village, three three five five, each other said, "There is nothing, this is in the novel, Cao Cao did not trace the origin of the rumors, if it is in reality, Cao Cao will definitely try his best to investigate the source of the news, if the person who spread the news is caught by Cao Cao, it will be troublesome."

Therefore, the mausoleum guards must come up with a comprehensive method, which not only convinces the Qing court that Yuan Shikai has the heart to defect to the Chinese Empire, but also that the person who spreads the news cannot be caught by the Qing court.

For the mausoleum guards, what is more difficult is that in order to control the people, the Qing court planted secret agents in the streets and alleys of Xi'an, and there were people who secretly complained about the Qing court, saying that the emperor was too extravagant, far less simple than Lin Fei, and was heard by the Qing court spies and beheaded on the street.

In this way, there will be a great risk of spreading rumors, first of all, the person who spreads the rumors will be killed, and secondly, the people who hear the rumors will not dare to continue to spread the rumors, and Lin Fei's discordant plan cannot be implemented at all.

The mausoleum keeper still has a very good way, and he came up with a trick, that is, with the help of nursery rhymes.

Nursery rhymes are children's songs, mixed with political information in children's songs, children say that they have no intention, adults who listen to them have a heart, this trick is not new, it is often found in history and classical novels, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", before Dong Zhuo was killed, I heard a child reading a children's rhyme: "Qianli grass, He Qingqing, ten days, no birth." "Qianlicao" is a "Dong" character, and "Ten Days" is a Zhuo character, which means that Dong Zhuo's life will not last long.

There is one of the biggest advantages of spreading rumors with the help of nursery rhymes, children are not sensible, even if you trace them from the child, you can't find the rumor-mongers, so the mausoleum keeper arranged for his subordinates to find more than a dozen young and gentle women, and let them wear khaki clothes.

There are many children in the streets and alleys of Xi'an, both boys and girls, most of them are bare-bottomed, the people are poor, and there is no money to make clothes for children.

The women took a handful of candy and led the children to a deserted alley, where the children gathered around them and cried for candy, and the women said, "If you learn the nursery rhymes that your sister taught you, your sister will give you candy." ”

The children agreed in unison, and the women said: "Sister say it first, the soil is dressed, the breeze breathes, the mountain thorn beans, the wood is perched, come, follow the sister and say ......"

"The soil is clothed, the breeze is breathing, the mountain thorn beans, and the wood is dwelling." The children said over and over again, and when they were familiar with the memorization, the women gave them the candy and told them that if they read this nursery rhyme every day, the sister would give them more sugar, and the simple children would sing this nursery rhyme, and they would sing it when they played outside, and sang it when they returned home, and most of the children's parents had little culture and could not understand it.

Some parents read and hyphenate, listened to this nursery rhyme carefully, and suddenly their faces were as frightened as ashes, their whole body was in a cold sweat, and they slapped the child a few times, and scolded: "If you dare to say this again, your tongue will be pulled out for you!" ”

There are a lot of children in Xi'an city, a spread of ten to hundred, a few days spread all over the city, this day the Empress Dowager Cixi convened the ministers to discuss, Shaanxi and Gansu Governor Yang Changjun knelt down and kowtowed, "Qi Qi Lafayette, recently the children in the city have been competing to sing a nursery rhyme, I don't know if you know?" ”

After the Manchu royal family arrived in Xi'an, they built a palace for themselves, don't look at half of the Qing Dynasty has fallen into the hands of Lin Fei, but the Manchu royal family still does not forget to enjoy themselves.

The Empress Dowager Cixi is in the deep palace, but she is not ignorant of the outside world, she already knows this nursery rhyme, but when she heard Yang Changjun mention it, she did not say that she knew, but said in a pretentious manner: "The mourning family doesn't know, Yang Aiqing said to listen to it." ”

"Huh." Yang Changjun kowtowed and bowed again, "This nursery rhyme is sung like this, the soil is dressed, the breeze is breathing, the mountain thorn beans, and the wood is perched." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded slightly, looked at Weng Tongyi on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Weng Aiqing, you are a scholar, tell me what this nursery rhyme means?" ”

Weng Tonggong said "Huh", thought for a moment, suddenly his face changed drastically, he knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The minister doesn't dare to say." ”

"Why don't you dare? But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Qi Yu Lafayette, 'soil dressing' is a 'Yuan' word, 'Qingfeng Xi' is to say that I am not long in the Qing Dynasty, 'Mountain Thorn Bean' is a 'Kai' word, 'wood' is 'forest', 'wood in the wood' is 'living in the forest', the meaning of this nursery rhyme is to say that Yuan Shikai wants to take refuge in Lin Fei and destroy my Qing Dynasty Zuo!" (The traditional Chinese character of the word "Kai" is "Kai", so it is "Shanjidou") (Canghai WeChat public platform online, WeChat account - qietingcanghai, is to listen to the pinyin of Canghai, looking forward to everyone joining)
