Chapter 126: Counter-espionage!!
"Lord Nakado, don't you think there are a lot of Japanese in my Great Qing Dynasty?" Xu Jie smiled weirdly.
"What do you mean by that?" Li Hongzhang's brows furrowed slightly, and a fine light shot out of his eyes.
"Even the children of Japan know that every year the navy and army have to purchase a large amount of equipment, and the whole country is in the process of expanding its armaments. Do you think that the Japanese come to our Daqing only to do business? Xu Jie asked.
"Jishi, don't be alarmist." Zhang Peilun said.
"Alarmist? I can clearly figure out the military strength of the Second Beiyang Naval and Land Division in Europe, not to mention Japan, which is a strip of water with the Qing Dynasty. Xu Jie sneered. In the following, I will only mention two organizations, one is the Leshantang in Hankow, and the other is the Nissin Trade Research Institute located in the British Concession in Shanghai, and these two organizations have branches in Beijing, Changsha, Fuzhou, Tianjin, and other places in the Qing Dynasty, and have formed a complete spy network. Not only our Beiyang, but even the foundation of the entire Qing Dynasty has been clearly felt by the Japanese. Those Japanese spies disguised as my subjects of the Qing Dynasty, with the cooperation of those traitors, I am afraid that they have been wandering around the key points of our Beiyang for many days, right? ”
"I want evidence." Li Hongzhang, who had not spoken, said with a pale face.
"Mr. Nanyang Peng mentioned one thing when he first came to Tianjin to find Xu, before he came to Tianjin, he had gone to Shandong for some business things, and when he passed by Rongcheng Bay, he found that some people used hydrological and geographical numbers such as water depth on the side of the jack stone. Mr. Peng felt strange and walked over. Later, Mr. Peng found in the area of Rongcheng Bay that the sea surface in the area is open and shallow suitable for anchoring and this place is remote, far away from Weihaiwei, but it is just behind Weihaiwei, and the geographical location is very important. I guess it's not an accident, right? This passage was thought of by Xu Jie temporarily, Rongchengwan Japan must have sent spies, otherwise it would not have chosen to land here in the first day of the first day, (online information shows that he went in 1888) But Peng Haifeng really hasn't been there, if you want to lie, I'm afraid you have to notify Boss Peng.
"I've heard of this Rongchengwan, but the sailors really haven't sent anyone to investigate, if someone surveys, I'm afraid it's not good for my Beiyang." Zhang Wenxuan hurriedly said.
"Where has Jishike been to Rongcheng Bay?" Li Hongzhang asked.
"Nope." Xu Jie replied very simply.
"Wenxuan, you send someone to Rongcheng Bay for a trip, if it is really suitable for landing as Jishi said, and someone has surveyed the hydrology there. This matter is bound to come to light. Li Hongzhang said angrily.
"Subordinates obey." Zhang Wenxuan commanded.
"Jishi, how do you think you can deal with Japanese spies?" Li Hongzhang asked. It's not easy to find a problem, and it's even harder to solve it.
"First, monitor the Japanese spy agencies that have been discovered. Take action when necessary. Second, the interior of Beiyang should be cleaned up, and those who cooperated with the Japanese or were not strict in their mouths should be removed from key departments. Third, it is necessary to set up a special organization to carry out counter-espionage work. This organization is accountable only to Lord Nakado. No one else is allowed to ask. Fourth, send spies to Japan. "If you want to talk about counter-espionage work, this is definitely not something that can be explained in one or two sentences, Xu Jie can only pick and choose the key points.
"The second point of Jishi is not to reshuffle the cards within Beiyang?" Ma Yukun said with a frown. To tell the truth, Ma Yukun will support the expansion of the army and the purchase of arms, but if this reshuffle is reshuffled, it will definitely wash out many people in the old Huai system, what level of these people Ma Yukun and Liu Shengxiu naturally know, but if they really want to get rid of them, I am afraid it will be difficult. …,
"Those who eat inside and outside must be punished severely, and others can arrange for them to be idle. If some people want to stay in their posts, they can start with a training course, and if they are able to do their original job after studying, they can continue. When he said these words, Xu Jie didn't know the bottom of his heart, after all, the scope of this touch was too big!! Even Li Hongzhang didn't dare to do it lightly.
"Jishi's step is a bit big." Liu Shengxiu said dissatisfiedly.
"If a unit of people can't do it, no matter how good the weapons are, it's useless." Xu Jie didn't give an inch.
"No matter how bad it is, it's also the old brothers who participated in the battle to exterminate the longhair and the twisted army. We can't unload the mill and kill the donkey! Liu Shengxiu said angrily.
"I think that's good. The new troops use new people, the old troops, except for those who should be meticulous, the others can be retained, but I am ugly to the front. If you can't do it on the battlefield, don't care about me Li Hongzhang is ruthless! Seeing that there were signs of quarrel between the two sides, Li Hongzhang said. Li Hongzhang did not fail to think about this issue of reorganization and reorganization. However, it cannot be carried out because it touches too much and involves too many people. But later, he had nowhere to learn from Xu Jie's actions. Since the old one doesn't work, build the new one. In the same system, if the new is too strong, the old must also change in order to survive.
"Then how does the so-called counter-espionage organization of Jishi operate?" Zhang Peilun asked.
"This organization can be divided into two parts, one part can follow the example of the police of European countries, some are similar to the errand officers of my Qing Dynasty, but they are more professional and managed, and they can be directly responsible for general security incidents. Due to the lack of troops in our Beiyang, these people can be rigorously trained and put into the battlefield if necessary. The other part is professional counter-espionage personnel. Similar to Scotland Yard in the United Kingdom. Mainly to perform some special tasks. There is a strong sense of independence. "Xu Jie doesn't know much about counter-espionage, so he can only talk about it. However, considering that the Huai Department has its own intelligence system, although it is not sound, it is necessary to change it and make do with it.
"Do you want me to do it myself in Beiyang and not inform the court?" Nie Shicheng asked.
"If Beiyang is willing to find trouble on my own, I can report it to the imperial court." Xu Jie said angrily.
"What if you let those clear streams know?" Zhang Peilun frowned and said.
"Then fight a few more, Zhirui, if Wen Ting's ending is still uncontrollable, I Beiyang still needs to clean up those Qingliu who have nothing to do!!" Speaking of this, Xu Jie's face was full of hideousness.
"This kind of thing is a matter within my Beiyang, for the safety of the Qing Dynasty, I Beiyang recruited a group of people to catch and do something, and it is not Weng Tong's turn to point fingers at them." Li Hongzhang said.
"In addition, if Hannagan can write with me Beiyang, it may be easier to convince the center, one is that Hannagan is a foreigner and knows a lot about these things in the West, and second, he is an outsider. Ma Yukun said.
"What about a Hannagan? In the excerpt, the old man proposed to let the competent governors of various provinces set up group exercises to completely muddy the waters. I'm afraid that Liu Kun is thinking about how to restore the Hunan army all day long, right? I'm afraid that this hole also wants to master a few armies, right? Li Hongzhang snorted coldly.
"There's nothing to do to expand the army, I'm afraid the court won't agree, right?" Zhang Peilun was stunned.
"Nothing to do to expand the army? That neighbor to the east is frantically preparing for war, I can't turn a blind eye to it, right? If someone uses the peaceful and prosperous times to prevaricate the old man. Speaking of this, Li Hongzhang glanced at Xu Jie and continued: "Jishi, you can use the method of dealing with Wenting, and then concoct it in the same way!" ”
