Chapter 436: A Confusing Dark Arrow
The organization of the Self-Help Association can only be regarded as a small undercurrent at present, at least until they burst out with enough energy, it can really only be a small undercurrent, and it has not attracted the attention of the Chinese at all.
In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Self-Help Association, there was not much brilliance, and the weak ones were not taken seriously by those in power at all.
However, with the development of events and the chaos and division of the United States, this self-help association based on American prisoners gradually gained a foothold in the society of North and South America, and turned into a new international gang-related organization, that is, the white hand.
The so-called white fissia means that the members of their organization like to wear white gloves, and over time, it has gradually become their characteristic, and they are simply called white fissiers.
The White Finger Party was founded in the sixties of the nineteenth century and endured into the twenty-first century, during which time it did a lot of great things, and it is a world-famous organization, and the secret of this organization for centuries is that it likes to work with governments rather than force it.
The flexible commercial model on the outside, coupled with the military-oriented management on the inside, is the secret of the longevity of the self-fissia party, of course, that's another story.
After staying in Cairo for three days, Li Yongji again led his troops south and headed straight for Memphis. After arriving in Memphis, Li Yongji did not leave as quickly as the outside world speculated, continued to lead troops to New Orleans, and then returned from New Orleans, but stayed in Memphis because he still had a very important thing to do.
This incident has nothing to do with the American Civil War, but with the Chinese Empire, or rather, a covert event involving a power struggle within the Chinese Empire.
As mentioned earlier, on the eve of the seven-day bloody battle at Smithland, Li Yongji sent Sun Xiangbing, the most important backbone of the army and his most powerful subordinate, out to his destination. is Memphis, and what he did was to stabilize Memphis's military power and secretly arrest the mysterious lobbyists who came to lobby Shi Dakai and others.
This mysterious lobbyist should belong to the same force, they had tried to lobby Wu Tingfang in the name of Yiwang's disciples, but unfortunately failed, and although Wu Tingfang was young, he was very smart and did not refuse immediately. Instead, while being false and wronged, he quietly reported the news here to Li Yongji secretly.
After receiving this news, Li Yongji attached great importance to it, and immediately asked Wu Tingfang to quickly arrest people and strictly interrogate them.
Through interrogation, Li Yongji learned that the original people not only wanted to persuade Wu Tingfang to rebel, but also quietly cut off the supplies that should have been delivered to the emperor on time, so that the emperor could do so. That is, Li Yongji's army did not get enough supplies.
In addition to lobbying Wu Tingfang, this group of people had already quietly sent people to the sea, preparing to come to the southern United States in the name of businessmen to lobby Shi Dakai and others. wants Shi Dakai to still fight back, make a quick blow to the emperor, and completely kill the emperor.
It can be said that the other party's two-pronged strategy is quite fierce. On the one hand, the supply transportation to Li Yongji was cut off, so that the emperor's pro-army who went deep into the interior of the US army could not get sufficient supplies. Once this happens, the consequences are unimaginable.
On the other hand, they want to rebel against the emperor's close generals, especially people like Shi Dakai, once they turn against the water and turn against them at a critical moment, the emperor's life is really worried.
As soon as the emperor dies, it is conceivable that the power structure of the entire Chinese empire will collapse, and the political order will be reshuffled. Jiuhui is back in a divided warlord melee situation.
The reason for this is that the unification of the Chinese Empire is still very short, and almost all of them are maintained by the armed deterrence of the military, and the military is loyal to the emperor alone, and there are no other powerful people who can unify all the military.
You must know that although the emperor has children now, he is still young enough to deter the military bosses under his command, so once the emperor is gone, it will inevitably cause internal chaos.
Of course, there is also an ideal outcome, that is, the country will not be chaotic and continue to let the emperor's son inherit the throne, but in that case, the power of the empire is likely to be sidelined by others, after all, the empress and the young emperor alone are likely to be unable to control the entire empire.
The most critical problem is that the queen has a gentle personality and is a good wife and mother, but she is not Wu Zetian, who is good at political struggle, so in that complex situation, it is difficult for her to control everything, and the biggest possibility is to become a political victim.
After all, he is the emperor's brother, and after the emperor's death, even if he can't inherit the throne, but assisting the young emperor is still justifiable.
In addition, the lobbyists who came to lobby were also in the name of the righteous king's mansion, which seemed to confirm the righteous king's crime.
However, things can't just be so fast, after all, the whole thing is full of weirdness.
The reason is very simple, if it was really someone sent by King Yi, he wouldn't be so childish, after all, King Yi had come to Hollywood to operate, he should know the situation here, and he should know more about the situation of Wu Tingfang, after all, Wu Tingfang had been with King Yi for a while.
Therefore, if it is really King Yi who wants to oppose Wu Tingfang, he will not send a few so-called doormen to lobby in the past, at least he should change a few old acquaintances that Wu Tingfang knows, and then find out what Wu Tingfang means first, and then think about it in the long run.
In addition, these lobbyists also have to lobby Shi Dakai, which is even less like the style of King Yi, after all, Shi Dakai has nothing to do with King Yi in the past, and the biggest possibility of rashly contacting people like Shi Dakai is to startle the snake and make the other party guarded, so this kind of stupid thing, with the IQ of King Yi, it is estimated that it will not be able to do.
Therefore, it is very likely that there is a bureau, a bureau that frames the righteous king, but I don't know who is setting up the bureau and who is plotting to kill the righteous king.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, this bureau is directed and acted by King Yi, he deliberately wants to expose his flaws, so that Li Yongji on the front line doubts himself first, and then excludes the suspicion of King Yi, and then leads the target to the person he wants to frame, and finally achieves his goal.
If that's the case, then the righteous king is terrible.
In the final analysis, it was the lobbying itself that was too hasty. You must know that even if they know that the emperor is on the front line and know who the emperor is, since the emperor dares to come here to lead troops to fight, he must be ready for everything.
Not to mention anything else, even if Wu Tingfang and the others wanted to cut off the supply of materials to the front line, as soon as he gave the order, maybe the CIA agent who stayed behind would pass on the news, and after that, Li Yongji only needed to use the radio to directly give orders to the commanders of the troops who stayed in Hollywood with the emperor's orders. You can directly arrest Wu Tingfang.
Shi Dakai's situation is the same, even if he can rebel against Shi Dakai, Shi Dakai will not be able to succeed in rebellion. Not to mention that the origin of his subordinates is complicated, and it is impossible to reach a consensus, even if it can be barely achieved, the news of the rebellion here will inevitably let Li Yongji on the front line know.
As long as Li Yongji knew that Shi Dakai had rebelled, then he could cut off the military supply to Shi Dakai, and it would not be difficult to go back and continue to quell the rebellion, after all, the military supplies of the troops. Most of them flowed out of Li Yongji's hands, not from California.
In other words, California, on the other hand, was only responsible for providing food supplies to troops fighting in the United States and conducting commercial international trade. But things like arms and ammunition have always gone from Li Yongji's side.
Therefore, when Li Yongji left Memphis, Memphis used a stockpile of ammunition. If the ammunition is insufficient, it is also to report to Smithland's Li Yongji's team, and send military supplies back to Memphis through Smithland.
This thing. It is a top secret in the entire expeditionary force, and only a very few people know the details, and Shi Dakai is one of the very few people who know about this matter.
And Shi Dakai knows even more that the reason why the expeditionary force is so powerful and can beat the US army several times that of its own is completely by relying on powerful and advanced weapons, although these weapons are sharp, but the consumption is quite terrifying, so once there is no military logistics, then this army will be abolished, and it is not as good as the ordinary US army can fight.
Moreover, among the troops left in Memphis, not only the soldiers from the Taiping Army, but also a small part, there were other troops, especially the motorized unit that stayed behind with one regiment, that is, a motorized regiment of the Dream Division.
Among these troops, most of them are loyal to Li Yongji, and many people are still very dissatisfied with Shi Dakai's high position, so once Shi Dakai shows a little anti-will, he doesn't need others to do it, these people will kill him first.
In short, it is hoped that the emperor Li Yongji, who can destroy the front line by lobbying a Shi Dakai, can only exist in storytelling and cross talk, and it is impossible to succeed in reality, and there is not even a trace of possibility.
Even if the lobbyists don't know the supply channels and operation mode of the expeditionary force, they should at least know the situation of the soldiers within the expeditionary force and the generals here, after all, it is more secretive to know that Li Yuanzheng is the emperor himself than these.
Therefore, since the bigwigs behind the lobbying side are willing to do such a child's play, they are either really naïve, because they don't know where they know the news that the emperor is Li Yuanzheng, so they hurriedly launch it, or they have ulterior motives to frame and frame him, to provoke the emperor through this big rebellion, and then use his strength to eradicate his real enemy.
In any case, this is a hidden arrow from behind, although the power of this dark arrow itself is weak, but it is confusing, and its nature is different, because it shows at least one thing, that is, someone is starting to hit the emperor himself.
Therefore, since he knew about this incident, Li Yongji attached great importance to it, of course, in order to prevent accidents, especially to prevent Shi Dakai and others from overinterpreting this matter and causing unnecessary overreactions, so he sent Sun Xiangbing out before the battle.
Sending Sun Xiangbing to Memphis, on the one hand, is to secretly arrest and interrogate the information of the lobbyist, find out the real black hand behind it, and on the other hand, it is to soothe Shi Dakai and stabilize Shi Dakai's heart.
You must know that for Shi Dakai, this lobbyist is a terrible thing, after all, this is lobbying him to murder the emperor, whether Shi Dakai agrees or opposes, or no matter what kind of action he makes, as long as he has anything to do with this matter, he must worry about whether the emperor will be angry and angry, whether he will not trust himself because of this, and then plot to kill himself.
Historically, because of this kind of unwarranted thing, I don't know how many famous ministers and good generals died inexplicably, so it is impossible for Shi Dakai not to be afraid, and once there is a panic mentality, it is likely that there will be big problems in doing things.
Therefore, taking the initiative to send someone over to supervise the army at this time can actually make Shi Dakai feel calm, which shows that the superiors have long known that someone wants to contact him, and before he contacts the thief, he will send someone over to take care of all the arrest and interrogation matters, and Shi Dakai will not be allowed to participate during the period, which can keep Shi Dakai out of the matter and will not affect his future because of this incident.
Otherwise, once you really come into contact, then no matter whether Shi Dakai is a whistleblower or not, you have to worry about the emperor's thoughts.
At this point, Wu Tingfang has already shown it vividly, because Wu Tingfang was the first to contact the anti-thief lobbyist, so Wu Tingfang was really frightened for a long time, otherwise, he would not have been false and wronged on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hurried to report, that is, he was afraid that the emperor would have some psychological pimples, so he used this method of hypocrisy and the snake to listen to the truth to show his loyalty.
The reason why Wu Tingfang did this without grabbing the other party or killing the other party at the first time is very simple, that is, to avoid suspicion.
After all, when the lobbyist was plotting against Wu Tingfang, Wu Tingfang was standing on the cusp, and at this time, whether Wu Tingfang was arresting or killing, he would appear weak and suspicious.
On the contrary, if the other party is kept and reported to the top while being false and wronged, then the boss will definitely agree to Wu Tingfang's strategy in order to get more information, such as catching the head behind the other party, and this also proves Wu Tingfang's righteousness and brightness in disguise.
You see, I kept the other party and secretly told the informant, which shows that it really has nothing to do with the other party, otherwise, it would not be a hundred to cut off directly, how could I keep this hidden danger by my side.
Not to mention, none of the people who can leave their names in the historical trend and be known to everyone are simple, if they are simple-minded, Wu Tingfang will not have such great achievements in another time and space.
Now, Lee Yong-gil is back in Memphis, in addition to a series of public activities, such as meeting with the commander-in-chief of the Western Theater of the Union Army, Joseph Lee. After having a meal and saying that the friendship between China and the Union would last forever and that it would not change because China had a separate truce with the Federation, and that he hoped to see a truce between the North and the South as soon as possible, Johnston quickly returned to his room under the pretext that he was too drunk.
There, Sun Xiangbing, dressed in a straight uniform, had been waiting for a long time, in order to report in detail to his master, Li Yongji, the emperor of the Chinese Empire and the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, at any time on the harvest of his trip, so as to achieve the goal of sharing worries for the Lord and adding points for himself.
