Chapter 567 Conspiracy (5)
After leaving Gaomi County, the Wang brothers walked northwest, walked about ten kilometers away, came to a small town, stopped in front of a small inn, walked into the small inn, ignored the guys who were greeting the two, walked straight to the stairs and went up the second floor.
I saw two men in blue guarding at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. When they saw this, they immediately took out a small bronze medal from their arms and handed it over. One of them took the sign and looked at it before saying, "Wait." Then they turned around.
Not long after, the man turned back and returned the bronze medal to the two of them, saying, "Go to the room Bingyin, go."
The two went up to the second floor and found the Bingyin room. Wang Kexing knocked on the door, and someone inside said, "Come in."
The two of them pushed open the door and saw two people sitting face to face beside a round table in the door. They were of medium size. Although they were wearing Chinese robes, they both had a short head. One was thin, while the other was a little fatter, and it was a 35-40-year-old.
Seeing these two people, the Wang brothers looked very respectful, bowed and said in unison: "I have met the sir."
The thinner man turned his head to look at them and said, "How is the situation in Gaomi County?"
Wang Kefu straightened his waist slightly and roughly explained the situation in Gaomi County.
After hearing this, the person who asked the question frowned slightly and said, "I want to mobilize Gaomi County to confront overseas Chinese. Is there a great possibility of success?"
Wang Kefu hurriedly said, "The villain has given Wan Yufu advice and asked him to persuade the gentry and staff of Gaomi County to put pressure on the magistrate together?"
The man said, "So what do you think will happen if the pressure is applied again? Will the magistrate of Gaomi County order the whole county to mobilize and resist the attack of overseas Chinese?"
The Wang brothers looked at each other, and Wang Kexing said, "It should be very likely this time?"
The man said coldly: "What I want to hear is not 'may', 'see', 'may', 'like', 'see', 'see', and a clear answer, 'yes' or 'no', and then the reason can be explained, but there is no need for such a vague answer, do you understand?"
The Wang brothers were all sweating in a cold sweat. Wang Kefu gritted his teeth and said, "The villain believes that the magistrate of Gaomi will definitely order the whole county to mobilize the people to defend the city and resist overseas Chinese? Because the gentry of the county put pressure on the magistrate together, even the magistrate will be difficult to refuse. Moreover, according to the Qing Dynasty, the magistrate has the responsibility to defend the city and protect the land. If the county town is broken, the magistrate will have the responsibility to protect the county town. For both public and private, the magistrate of Gaomi will definitely defend the county town with all his strength."
The man nodded and said, "I should answer my question in the future. You brothers have a grudge against overseas Chinese, but if you want to avenge your brothers, it is far from enough to rely on your brothers. You can only rely on our organization. But we are not the Qing government, and we can live here and get away with it. What we need is people with real talents. Therefore, if you want to stay in the organization and rely on the strength of the organization to avenge the family, you must come up with some real talents. So far, you have been doing it well, but you still continue to work hard in the future. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, the Wang brothers were relieved, and hurriedly responded to the promise.
A look of contempt appeared in the man's eyes and said, "You go and rest first. We will notify you of the next step."
After hearing this, the Wang brothers left.
After they left the house, the person who had just said nothing, "Nakamura, these two people are what you said, and the useful candidates are available in Shandong this time."
Nakamura nodded and said, "This is when I was in Jinan. I saw them by chance. Later, when I learned about it, I realized that overseas Chinese killed their whole family and snatched their land and property. It can be said that they have a deep hatred with overseas Chinese, so I recruited them. Although their abilities can only be considered average, because they are locals, they know very well about the geographical environment and customs of Shandong, from the Jiaozhou Bay area, and this is exactly what we need most. We need to make arrangements in Shandong and establish our intelligence network before overseas Chinese control Shandong. Of course, the more such people, the better. This time I intend to let them deal with the land reform that interferes with overseas Chinese, just to see their abilities. It seems pretty good now. If we follow us to practice for a few more years, we may become qualified intelligence personnel."
Asked: "So do you think the magistrate of Gaomi County will mobilize the residents of the county to defend the city and resist the attacks of overseas Chinese?"
Nakamura shook his head and said, "I don't know either?"
Asked, he was stunned and said, "You don't know either?"
Nakamura said a little distressedly: "Kun Kobayashi, we have limited understanding of the situation of the Qing Dynasty. Although there are some information in Japan, I think these information are a bit empty, and I pay attention to the main officials of the Qing court now. Local governments, because it is very lacking in Shandong, we can only rely on us to collect it slowly. I don't know what kind of personality this Gaomi magistrate has, so it is difficult to judge what actions he will take, and there is no way to use targeted measures. This time I let the Wang brothers do it, which is also a major reason."
After hearing this, Kobayashi sighed and said, "Nakamura, your plan is actually very good. To promote the relationship between overseas Chinese and Qing dynasty, in Chinese idioms, it is to cut off the fire from overseas Chinese. Moreover, while overseas Chinese have not yet established a foothold in China, they still need to temporarily rely on the Qing dynasty. If they can stir up conflicts between overseas Chinese and Shandong local officials of the Qing dynasty, and even lead to a large-scale war, then overseas Chinese will find it difficult to maintain superficial harmony with the Qing dynasty, which will be the biggest blow to overseas Chinese."
Nakamura nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I asked the Wang brothers to incite Gaomi County and mobilize all residents of the city to guard Gaomi County. In this way, even if overseas Chinese finally conquers Gaomi County, it will inevitably cause major casualties among the residents of Gaomi County. This can not only destroy the relationship between overseas Chinese and the Qing Dynasty, but also cause difficulties for overseas Chinese to rule in areas such as Jiaozhou Bay. Unfortunately, although the foundation of overseas Chinese is unstable now, we have just arrived in Shandong and need enough time to make arrangements and cannot do our best."
Kobayashi comforted: "Kun Nakamura, even if Gaomi County did not fully resist overseas Chinese this time, if we can promote Yuan Shikai to fight with overseas Chinese, it would be a very good result. Didn't Yuan Shikai send troops to join the landlord's army last time? Therefore, I think it is still very likely to persuade Yuan Shikai. Moreover, Yuan Shikai is a senior official of the Qing Dynasty and the highest official in Shandong. If he fights with overseas Chinese, the effect will probably be better than Gaomi County."
Nakamura smiled bitterly and said, "Kun Kobayashi, I don't think so. Judging from my contact with Yuan Shikai, he is a very smart and capable person. He is not comparable to the Wang brothers or Wan Yufu, and is not so easy to be moved. Although he sent troops to join the landlord's army last time, it was the personal behavior of middle and lower-level officers in the famous discussion. This shows that Yuan Shikai has left a lot of room for reconciliation with overseas Chinese in the future. In addition, we can give Yuan Shikai too little benefits now. If we can guarantee that the Japanese government will fully support Yuan Shikai, we may also be able to persuade Yuan Shikai to be enemies with overseas Chinese. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability yet. Sometimes I doubt that our initial direction is wrong. We should first take full control of the Japanese regime."
Kobayashi hurriedly said, "Nakamura, you are thinking too much. It will take at least ten years for us to gain control of the Japanese regime. At that time, overseas Chinese had already established a stable foothold in China, and it would be even more difficult to shake overseas Chinese. Therefore, we must start from now on and continue to interfere with overseas Chinese and delay their development. This is not wrong. Even if it cannot be successful this time, it has added a lot of trouble to overseas Chinese, at least it will not be able to carry out any land reforms they have carried out smoothly. This is a good result."
Nakamura nodded and said, "You are right. I'm too anxious. Forces like overseas Chinese can indeed not be defeated in a short time. Even if this time is not successful, we still have enough opportunities. Although the land reform carried out by overseas Chinese can gain the support of farmers, it has also offended a large number of landlords. Like the Wang brothers, who were destroyed by overseas Chinese, will definitely be in a small number of future people. Therefore, we actually have a large number of potential personnel in Shandong. It is still difficult to say who will die in the future."
Kobayashi said: "Nakamura, what are you going to do next?"
Nakamura said: "I will take my brothers to Jinan with my brothers. Let's see if I can't persuade Yuan Shikai. Even if I can't persuade Yuan Shikai, I should establish a good personal relationship with him. Yuan Shikai is the most capable and knowledgeable person among the young officials of the Qing Dynasty. In the future, I will definitely gain the importance of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, establishing a good private relationship with Yuan Shikai can make full use of Yuan Shikai to influence the Qing Dynasty and become enemies with overseas Chinese. In addition, this is too close to Gaomi County, and it is not good for us to stay here for too long. Moreover, Jinan is the prefecture of Shandong. After overseas Chinese occupy Shandong in the future, it will definitely be an important city. Now it is not under the control of overseas Chinese. We should set the core of the intelligence network in Jinan."
Xiaolin said: "You are very thoughtful. I should leave Shandong and continue to move northeast. I also have to conduct various inspections along the way to collect information. I will leave the matter here in Shandong to you."
