Chapter 55: Telegraph Specialists

"Wu Shuohai and Liu Jingyuan." Le Zhengxian frowned, "There is no doubt that no one other than them will use this improved Morse code. ”

Tang Anshu obviously didn't understand the Morse code: "What is that?" ”

"Invented by foreigners, it is used for telegraphing." Le Zhengxian explained, "During the Manchu Dynasty, the telegraph entered China, and the Manchu Qing sent many outstanding talents to study, including Wu Shuohai. Wu Shuohai later became the leader of telegraph talent in the Manchu army, and Liu Jingyuan was his protΓ©gΓ©......"

Later, Wu Shuohai entered the Beiyang Fleet and became a telegraph officer, and Liu Jingyuan also stayed in the Beiyang Fleet with him because he was his student. However, the good days were not long, after the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the Beiyang Fleet was completely wiped out, and the Manchu maritime power almost disappeared.

Although it is true that the Japanese army intercepted and deciphered the telegram of the Beiyang Fleet, the key to the defeat was not here, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had long been rotten from the roots.

Therefore, Wu Shuohai, who was a telegraph officer, and Liu Jingyuan, a student, were arrested and put in prison, because after all, they were talents, and they also knew that they were substitutes for the dead, so they were not sentenced to death.

The two were imprisoned from the twentieth year of Guangxu to the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu, on the day when Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty announced the change of law, the two were released, and the change faction then lobbied the two to join, Wu Shuohai and Liu Jingyuan were imprisoned for four years and were completely disappointed in the Qing court, understanding that if they did not go, it would be a dead end.

So the two ostensibly pretended to agree, and after receiving the other party's advance payment, they fled immediately and fled all the way to Sichuan.

The two who came to Sichuan joined the Pao Brothers Association by chance, and also wanted to get the protection of the power of the rivers and lakes, but they didn't expect that a hundred days later, as Wu Shuohai expected, the change really failed, and Wu Shuohai knew at that time that the Manchu Qing Qi was exhausted.

Tang Anshu heard this and said, "It's really legendary." ”

Le Zhengxian said: "Later, the two joined the Dark Ear, and the code cipher used by the Dark Ear until now was invented by these two people, of course, I have also learned, so as soon as they knock, I will know what is going on." ”

Tang Anshu suddenly thought of something: "That's why Fu Guodong wants you to join in life or death, right?" ”

Le Zhengxian leaned against the wall and smiled: "That's right, I can figure it out." ”

Tang Anshu asked, "What did the two seniors say?" ”

Le Zhengxian said: "They said that tomorrow morning, after breakfast, they will knock on the code, we just follow the code to find them, and then act at the opportunity, by the way, will you play chess?" ”

"Yes." Tang Anshu said with a smile, "It's just a game of Go, just a game." ”

Le Zhengxian nodded: "Just go down, it's enough to act." ”

●

On the Observation Tower of the Heavenly Eye of the Prison, Sun San stood there with his hands behind his back, staring at the row of fires at the top of the cliff in the distance, which was the patrol on the periphery.

The door opened, and Gu Feng stood at the door and said, "Handsome, the snake master has arrived." ”

Sun San immediately turned around: "Please." ”

Gu Feng stood aside: "Snake Master, please!" ”

The sea snake walked in with a smile, followed by Zhou Junzheng, and the two of them looked very different from before they came to prison.

Sun San clasped his fists and saluted to kneel, but was held by the sea snake.

Sun San said: "Big brother, brother, I can't stand you!" ”

The sea snake helped Sun San up: "Acting is acting, if the play is not real, it will be recognized by others." Alas, I can be considered safe, in the past few days in Yongcheng, I really thought that Fu Guodong was going to kill me, but fortunately, that Tang Anshu was clever, otherwise, I could only follow our original plan at the earliest, and pretend to defect to Fu Guodong. ”

Zhou Jun is smiling and nodding on one side, completely lacking the cowardice of the poor and sour talent before.

Sun San sighed and said, "But my brother has suffered heavy casualties. ”

The sea snake comforted Sun San and said, "If Adjutant Gu didn't do that, I'm afraid Junzheng and I would have died a long time ago." Over the years, Mu Sannong has won the trust of many brothers below by demagoguery, and many people think that my sea snake is a person who only cares about himself and does not care about the life and death of his brothers, so secretly many people are willing to follow Mu Sannong. ”

After the sea snake finished speaking, he looked at Gu Feng and said, "Brother Gu, the scene that day was good. ”

Gu Feng hugged his fists and said: "I'm really afraid of hurting the snake master, and besides, I really didn't expect the fish under the snake master to be so unbeatable." ”

"That's it." The sea snake waved his hand, "Those four guys were also bought by Mu Sannong, so it's a good thing that Tang Anshu let those two guys go, at least let them spread the news, so that we can come according to the original plan, by the way, what about Mu Sansan ? ”

Sun San said: "Big brother, I'll keep that bastard at your disposal." ”

The sea snake pondered for a while: "In this way, how about we hand over Mu Sannong to Tang Anshu?" ”

Sun San immediately asked, "Why?" ”

The sea snake asked: "Second brother, I'm very strange, how did you think of using Tang Anshu to kill him halfway?" ”

Sun San explained: "Big brother, Tang Anshu is not Cheng Biting Jin who is killed halfway. At the same time as our plan began, someone hired Tang Anshu and others to rob the prison and wanted to rob Wei Qiming. But the strange thing is that someone deliberately passed the accurate news to me and Fu Guodong. ”

The sea snake wondered: "How do you know that it has reached Fu Guodong?" Do you have an inside line with him? ”

Sun San frowned: "Where do I have that ability, someone asked the fishermen to bring a letter, and the letter said that the news was not only told to me, but also to Fu Guodong, the governor of Yongcheng, so in the letter from that person to Fu Guodong, he must have also said that I also got the news." But I didn't say anything at the time, pretending to be stupid, after all, I still had a grenade by my side. ”

The sea snake said: "The grenade refers to Tie Peiwen? ”

Sun San nodded silently: "This kid is too yin, and he is ruthless, if he succeeds, we will all have to die, on the day of the attack on Wedge Island, Gu Feng and I deliberately left the island to test him, but this kid was not fooled." ”

At this time, Zhou Junzheng stepped forward and said: "Dashuai, Snake Master, Tie Peiwen is a yin and yang monster on weekdays, he is very evil, and his disguise technique is also very powerful, but now is not the time to get rid of him." ”

Sun San said: "I know. Therefore, I decided to bet on Tang Anshu, I asked Gu Feng to check Tang Anshu, this kid doesn't look at the status of the rivers and lakes, and he is not famous, but in Sichuan, the Jianghu sect and those who have guys in their hands know him, I plan to brake quietly, let him take a step, and after I see it clearly, I will take my next step. ”

The sea snake frowned: "But you still gambled, just imagine, if Tang Anshu was really caught by Fu Guodong in Yongcheng and forced to take refuge, we would lose everything." ”

"No, Tang Anshu will never take refuge in Fu Guodong. You know, his purpose is "Jinling Jane", but I always feel that although this is the case, in the end what he wants is different from others. Sun San looked into the distance, "Therefore, he will definitely travel to all sides and use all parties to achieve his own goals, you must know that what his master Hu Shen taught him was Su Qinshu." ”

Gu Feng interjected: "Dashuai, I really admire Tang Anshu, if he can be under Dashuai, it will be easy to deal with Tie Peiwen and Fu Guodong." ”

Zhou Junzheng shook his head and said: "The essence of Su Qinshu is in the word figurative thinking, this kind of guy who thinks about others all day long sees the good and evil in the world too clearly, so he will not really belong to anyone." ”

After Zhou Junzheng said this, everyone present was silent. Indeed, although Sun San and the sea snake can now stick together and work together to deal with Fu Guodong, but what about the future? Who knows.

Zhou Junzheng broke the silence again: "However, judging from the current situation, we have a better chance of winning this battle, Fu Guodong is losing now, he is too dependent on the land around him." Rong Pingye wants to say that he has the real ability, but he is too arrogant, and he loves vanity, and he has the title of the king of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the world, and thinks that he has a high status in the rivers and lakes and is famous, so he is indispensable, and this kind of person has always had no good end. ”

Sun San smiled and said, "Big brother, Master Zhou is right, if he hadn't underestimated Tang Anshu, you wouldn't have been able to come back safely." ”

The sea snake also smiled: "It is also because of this that I can tell Tang Anshu part of the truth of "Ling Jian" according to the plan. Let him help us look it up. By the way, have you found out about Wei Qiming? What the hell is going on? The conjured up Wei Qiming, is it the real Wei Qiming? ”

Sun San shook his head: "I don't know, now I can only regard him as Wei Qiming, and there is no other way." ”

The sea snake nodded, turned his head to look at Zhou Junzheng and said, "Junzheng, aren't you always yelling that you have no wine to drink and no meat to eat?" Now that you're back, what do you want to eat and drink, tell Adjutant Gu. ”

Sun San understood: "Gu Feng, hurry up and arrange it." ”

Gu Feng and Zhou Junzheng were not stupid, knowing that the two had something to say, they immediately hugged their fists and turned around and left with a smile.

After the two left, Sun San approached the sea snake and asked, "Big brother, how much did you reveal to Tang Anshu?" ”

"I've told him everything I should know on the surface." The sea snake replied, and then repeated what he had said to Tang Anshu.

After hearing this, Sun San said: "You have almost said everything you can say, and then, it depends on Tang Anshu's own creation." ”

The sea snake asked: "Second brother, are you really not interested in other "Ling Jian" other than "Jinling Jian"? Get five Jane to win the world. ”

Sun San smiled bitterly: "Big brother, the emperor is not so easy to be, I don't have that ambition, what kind of character I am, I know too well, Yuan Shikai's emperor died in a few days, I can't even reach half of his ability, so, I don't think about the world, I just want to calm this matter, let these messy people die, don't come to toss me again, let me be this handsome in peace." ”

The sea snake sighed: "It's okay, so that at least there will be no danger for a lifetime, and you can live to the end of your life." ”

Sun San also sighed: "Big brother, it's hard to die at the end of your life, who knows what the world will be like in the future?" Now it is rumored everywhere that the revolutionary army is going to go on a northern expedition, and the Guangdong army has been disabled, I estimate that Chen Jiongming will not last until the end of the year, and I also have to plan for my future, if the revolutionary army is really successful, will they still let me be the emperor here? No way. ”
