Chapter 173 Select

In the morning, there were only half of the passengers in a carriage waiting for the ferry to leave Nanjing from Xiaguan Station. Among them, there are businessmen, attendants, craftsmen, workers, shop assistants, women, workers' wives, and two soldiers among them. In any third-class carriage, it can be said to be a mixed place. Here, what kind of people can not be distinguished by clothing.

As an agent of the Intelligence Bureau, almost as he got on the bus, Jin Nanlin began to look at the passengers in the carriage. Only two of the passengers in the half of the carriage attracted his attention. One of them was young and the other was old. They were dressed in neat new clothes and looked well-dressed, and that young. People even wear the emblem of Imperial University of Technology. If others may think that he is a student of the University of Technology, but the mud on the edge of his leather shoes on his feet betrays him. With Jin Nanlin's understanding of only a few hundred students in that school, they will never let mud on their shoes when it doesn't rain.

In addition, there is a middle-aged man with a grim face, dressed in a suit and looks a little like a senior employee of a political axe enterprise. From the appearance, he seems to be no different from others. However, Jin Nanlin noticed that he occasionally communicates with the young man.

At this time, these people in the carriage have found their seats and sat happily, some were pling on melon seeds, some were smoking, and some were chatting with their neighbors with interest.

Jin Nanlin, who observed the two of them, noticed that the two of them always looked at a yellow cowhide suitcase on the luggage rack from time to time, as if there was something in the suitcase.

"Observe, the best agents will also betray themselves in details!"

After observing the two people for more than ten minutes, Jin Nanlin became more and more sure that there was something wrong with the two people. Then observe the position where the two of them were sitting. Both of them sat by the window, and the windows of the car they relied on were all open. Do you need to open the window on such a cold day?

He stood up and hung his coat on his arm with his left hand. Jin Nanlin, who was carrying a briefcase in his right hand, left the carriage. In another carriage, he saw the policeman, so he walked towards the policeman.

"Hello!"

As soon as the policeman turned around, Jin Nanlin showed his certificate, which was from the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

"What's the matter? Sir!"

After seeing the certificate clearly, the policeman's expression was extremely respectful.

"There may be some problems with the two people in car 7, 35 and 57. You should check the tickets!"

More than half an hour later, Jin Nanlin had been transferred from the third-class carriage to a separate small sleeper box, but with the light, he looked at the Yangtze River outside the window. Half an hour ago, the police used the ticket check as a reason to arrest the two people and found 30 kilograms of explosives in the cowhide box. "These people are too careless!"

Thinking that the explosive may be used to sink the train ferry, in that case, Yangtze River Shipping may encounter trouble in the next month, and the same north-south railway traffic will also affect transportation because the ferry was sunk. During the war, these people would be so careless.

Fortunately, I found them myself.

Thinking that the conductor specially left the sleeper box reserved by the railway company for himself in order to thank himself, Jin Nanlin smiled. If not, he was afraid that he would take the third-class carriage all the way to the northeast.

"Please observe this person. Maybe it won't be long before he returns to North Korea, where almost no one knows him, and few people he knows. Make him good there and let him know the country and the people there. This is good for both of you.

On the rickety train, looking at the information in his hand, Jin Nanlin's mind came to the director's advice to him when he left Nanjing.

Looking at the young man in the uniform of a lieutenant officer in the photo, this person does not look much different from an ordinary guard army officer, if his nationality is ignored.

"Li Cunxin, 26 years old, born in Pyongyang..."

Next, the origin of the Li family in Pyongyang is listed in detail. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a group of people surnamed Li, including the descendants of Li Rusong and the surviving minister of the Ming Dynasty, fled to North Korea and settled in Pyongyang. As a result, the Li family of Pyongyang was born. In the following two hundred years, especially more than a dozen years ago, the Korean country The pro-Qing faction emerging inside is different from the reading faction. They have remained neutral from beginning to end. It was not until after the Jiawu that they came to the capital because of refuge.

Now this person has been selected by the Intelligence Agency among many candidates. This time, he went to the northeast to observe him.

"In Liaoning, there is a North Korean infantry regiment established by the Guards under the instructions of the staff headquarters during the neutral battle. The troops under the regiment are mainly two battalions. The officers above the battalion are officers sent by the Guards, and most of the platoon units in the company are North Koreans selected by the Guards. Now according to the further development of the situation in the future, we should go there and learn about this regiment. Train there. This time you go... to check what kind of person Li Cunxin, the new commander of North Korea's 1st Infantry Battalion, is and what he can do.

Looked through the information about Li Cunxin in his hand, which was transmitted by the Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters of the Guard. It can be imagined that perhaps since Li Cunxin joined the Guards, the intelligence department has grasped his information and paid close attention to it.

Why do you pay so much attention to him?

Is it just because he happens to be a battalion commander of the North Korean infantry regiment? According to the above information, he, the battalion commander, was just promoted two months ago. The director did not explain why the North Korean infantry regiment was established and why he was needed. However, from the director's speech, it can be seen that the North Korean infantry regiment and Li Cunxin are very valuable.

The value of utilization!

"How's it going? Do you have any suggestions?"

Cheng Yiyuan, who first came to Dandong, looked at Li Cunxin, who was training for the soldiers, and asked Jin Nanlin, the chief of staff of the North Korean infantry regiment beside him. According to the instructions of the military department, he is a reliable person. He can even speak fluent Korean with a dialect accent. Just like this, it can make everyone believe one thing. In fact, he is a North Korean, but this North Korean can be trusted.

And I only came here to train them in irregular operations. In fact, I taught them the experience of some bandits that I had destroyed in the past. The Guards never considered turning this North Korean army into a force with strong offensive capabilities. For the Guards, they may be built into a security force. It is the best choice, just like this infantry regiment, with only a few mortars and a few machine guns.

"Suggestion? The only advice is..."

Jin Nanlin smiled and clicked his chin on Li Cunqin, who tried his best to show himself that he was strict and serious, and at the same time respected and loved by the officers and soldiers.

"There is no advice. Without the instructions of your consultant, he will not do anything, so here, in fact, you are the head of the North Korean regiment. As for him..."

After a moment of silence, Jin Nanlin continued.

"Of course, you have to maintain some of his authority. At the same time, you should also let those middle and bottom-level officers understand that you have the same authority as him in this regiment. I think the consultants of each company can help you!"

While speaking, Jin Nanlin smiled from the bottom of his heart. Now the Intelligence Agency is taking positive steps to establish Li Cunxin's personal image in North Korea: the former Major of the Imperial Guards Army, the current commander of the North Korean Infantry Regiment, is not willing to rule the Koreans. In short, soon, this person will be in The Korean Peninsula has a certain reputation.

In the past, I didn't understand why I chose him, but now? Jin Nanlin knows why the General Staff chose this person. I'm afraid it's just because this person is very tame, and the most important thing is that he feels that he is Chinese in his bones and opposes North Korea's reading ability. Such a person is undoubtedly the best choice, both for China and North Korea.

"Chief of Staff Kim, do you think we will enter North Korea?"

He hesitated. Cheng Yiyuan, who came here for the first time, asked a question that he was most concerned about. If he had been eager to go to the battlefield before he came here, but now he regrets that it was a dead end to go to the battlefield with such a group of Korean troops equipped with old miscellaneous weapons.

"This depends on Nanjing's decision!"

"Your Majesty, in the past two weeks, the intelligence agency's intelligence station in North Korea has created a total of 175 assassinations in various parts of North Korea. At the same time, mortars were used to attack the 62nd military barracks. Now the whole Korean peninsula has known the name of the North Korean army and his leader Li Cunxin. Our purpose It's basically reached!"

Zhang Jing, who sat in front of His Majesty, couldn't help raising a trace of sarcasm when he mentioned these. The North Korean army's large-scale attack, what the North Korean army will fight for North Korea's freedom is false, and even the North Korean army is fake. Everything is just for one purpose.

"Very good, this incident must be done well, and there must be no mistakes!"

He nodded, and Chen Moran smiled with satisfaction.

If this matter is done well, it can solve the problem that has been bothering me. North Korea, any Chinese who has seen North Korea and South Korea after decades will not have any good impression on this country, that is, if there is no good impression, then there is no need to spend more than a billion to shed tens of thousands of people's of blood. Keep this place readable.

"Your Majesty, why don't we choose the Korean royal family?"

Yuan Shikai, who barely had the old one with the Korean royal family, asked softly.

Looking at Yuan Shikai, Chen Moran smiled from the bottom of his heart. In the past few months, he has taken a lot of silver from the North Korean royal family, but according to his usual style, he may not do anything with silver!

Seeing that Yuan Shikai didn't seem to understand, Zhang Zhidong smiled and explained.

"Comfort pavilion, now Man Qing has agreed to North Korea's reading power ten years ago. Now if they cancel their reading power, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. North Korea is a small country and a widow of the people. Although the country is small, it has a strong self-esteem. If it is rashly annexed, it will only cause future trouble..."

Amergment!

The word spit out by Zhang Zhidong only made Yuan Shikai's eyelids jump. At that time, he rose in North Korea. Under the pressure of himself, the weak Manchu Qingzheng axe had to let him share the status of the suzerain of North Korea! After he was ordered to return to China, he angrily wrote to Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang, who was in charge of North Korea's affairs, suggesting that while the strong force had not yet seriously interfered in North Korea, "Our political axe should immediately and completely clean up North Korea and build it into a province."

But Li Zhongtang, the only one who understands the national and the world, is being hated by ordinary mediocre courtiers. How can he convey the bold proposal of the next little official to the court? But because of this, I was appreciated by Li Hongzhang, and even made a sixteen-word comment for myself: "Blood surname is loyal, talented and sensitive, strong in the overall situation, it is difficult for me to be alone."

It was also at the recommendation of Li Zhongtang that Yuan Shikai returned to the Koreans to be China's highest garrison - the prime minister, the plenipotentiary for negotiating trade matters. After the second trip to the DPRK, he took over the power and did the actual "supervision of the country". He was instigation, causing the three Koreans to be subdued, saying that the five major powers of Russia, Britain, the United States and France were all stunned.

Later, after he left North Korea, the Japanese army occupied Seoul at the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War. Later, under the coercion of the Japanese army and the Kaihua Party, King Li Xi of North Korea issued a statement: "Since I have left China, I am reading independently..."

At this time, Zhang Zhidong's words of "annexation" only reminded Yuan Shikai that when he was young, North Korea was not from his twenties to his thirties. He spent a long time there. Once upon a time, he thought that once he annexed North Korea, he could serve as the first governor of North Korea, which could be the frontier. The official squeezed into the temple, and today, 20 years after he proposed to Li Zhongtang to annex North Korea, he was finally going to annex North Korea.

Looking at the silent Yuan Shikai, Chen Moran squeezed out some smiles on his face. As far as Yuan Shikai is concerned, North Korea was once a good place for him to show his skills and his starting point for success. The world thinks that Yuan started from training from a young age. In fact, if there were no outstanding achievements in North Korea, the responsibility of training new recruits in the Qing Dynasty would not have been handed over to him, and there would be no later Beiyang, let alone the current position of Minister of the Interior.

It can be said that for Yuan Shikai, perhaps North Korea is the biggest failure in his life. At least until now, with the growth of age, for such people, they always hope to make up for the regrets of the past, and what is Yuan Shikai's greatest regret? I'm afraid it's North Korea.

"Comfort Pavilion, you started from North Korea and became North Korea. It can be said that there is no one in China who knows North Korea better than you!"

His Majesty's words came to his ears. Yuan Shikai only felt that his eyebrows were slightly beating. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad. It seemed that he could not avoid it - Governor of Korea. If it was expected, His Majesty must want to let himself go to Governor of Korea next.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the governor of North Korea after the restoration of North Korea!"

Yuan Shikai, who understood your majesty's meaning, quickly got up and responded respectfully. As a minister, he naturally knew what your majesty had decided. If he persisted on not, he was afraid that he would be unhappy with your majesty. On the other hand, Yuan Shikai also understood that North Korea may be the only way for him to gain your majesty's appreciation and trust.

The most important point is that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, China has never had to cede land and pay compensation. There is the matter of expanding the territory. Although Taiwan's restoration, it is the restoration of light. Unlike North Korea, North Korea used to be a vassal state, but now it is a "reading power country". If it can accept North Korea as a province of China, it will expand its territory with a civilian occupation. I'm afraid that Yuan Shikai even saw the position of the prime minister and stretched out his hand to himself.

Prime Minister!

For Yuan Shikai, he knew that this was his ultimate goal. He couldn't stand it. On the one hand, he didn't have an army, and on the other hand, he didn't have time. His Majesty was much older than himself, and he could survive to death.

"Good!"

While nodding his head hard and praising, Chen Moran rarely had some appreciation for Yuan Shikai. He was worried about the king. Now Yuan Shikai has done it. After thinking about it, there is really no other candidate who can go to North Korea in the future, except Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai knows too much about North Korea. In the past, when countries competed for North Korea, he could easily do something against North Korea, not to mention now.

"Your Majesty, I don't know when the Guards will attack North Korea!"

"Attack North Korea?"

Looking at Yuan Shikai, Chen Moran smiled loudly.

"Why do you want to attack North Korea? To attack North Korea, you need to mobilize at least 20 divisions, invest 300,000 people, and pay more than 1 billion yuan of war expenses. For the sake of North Korea, this is worthless!"

"What does your majesty mean?"

At this time, Yuan Shikai is a little confused. If he doesn't attack North Korea, can he... "As long as we win the naval battle, we can get North Korea, cut off its way back, and consume its ammunition, and the North Korean army will not last for a few days!"

At this time, Chen Moran's face was full of self-confidence. This expansion of self-confidence was entirely due to the great victory of the South China Sea War. The great victory of that naval battle gave him the confidence to win the war.

"As for North Korea, after peace, we can recover North Korea without a single shot, and as for the comfort pavilion,"

After a moment of meditation, Chen Moran looked at Yuan Shikai and said.

"You will visit North Korea as a special envoy. In North Korea, as long as you make good use of a pawn, that is, Li Cunxin, use Li Cunxin to force Li Xi to take the initiative to cancel the reading ability. This should be proposed by Li Xi himself. As for how to do it, you have full power. Anyway, the purpose is to let North Korea cancel the reading ability and eventually become a line of our country. Save it!"

"Your Majesty, if..."

Although he has no problem with His Majesty's arrangement, and Yuan Shikai believes that he can do it, he still has another concern.

"If Li Cunxin has a different heart, what should he do!"

"Didn't mean?"

With a cold snort, staring at Yuan Shikai, Chen Moran asked.

"What do you think!"

Your Majesty's question only made Yuan Shikai's eyes flash a cold light.

"With the help of Li Xi, he killed Li Cunxin, and then provoked military chaos, thus forcing Li Xi to cancel his reading power! And then dedicate it to the whole country!"

"Remember, comfort pavilion, you have full power!"

While talking, Chen Moran picked up the telegram on the table. The telegram was the telegram of the Second Fleet across the Eighth Channel forwarded by the Admiralty Department. When he was talking to himself in his heart, Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Jing and Yuan Shikai looked at each other and understood His Majesty's meaning. Then they stood up at the same time.

"Your Majesty's resignation!"
